Time passed…
The Western Regions and Chang 'an were busy.
The Western Regions had been conquered by Li Qiu. Although no one dared to cause chaos, the people still needed to be appeased. They needed time to get used to it.
At the same time, Ayena also paid special attention to the mission that Li Qiu had given her. She had done everything she could and put in a lot of effort.
Whether it was the layout of the palace or some arrangements, he had put in a lot of thought.
In terms of etiquette, he had even flipped through many books from the Central Plains to restore Li Qiu's original etiquette as a king!
……
Chang 'an was also extremely busy.
The war had just ended, and the change of Xuanwu Gate made the atmosphere in Chang 'an extremely solemn. Now, Li Er announced to the world that he was about to become emperor...
Whether it was the soldiers or the people, they would not have it easy.
Under such a busy situation, a month passed slowly.
On this day, Chang 'an was covered in red and green. It was full of joy, but the atmosphere in the streets and alleys was very solemn.
A large number of elite soldiers were placed in various places to prevent any accidents!
Outside the Imperial Palace, a wooden platform was built several feet high!
Even if they were far away, they could still see it clearly when they raised their heads. It was filled with majesty.
The high platform was huge and connected by stairs. Red carpets were laid everywhere and many ceremonial items were prepared. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner...
Below the stage, many commoners had gathered here, either voluntarily or for various reasons. They looked up and waited silently.
Finally, when the sun was high in the sky, the auspicious time arrived!
"The auspicious time has arrived. The Heaven Worship Ceremony begins now!”
The voice of the Minister of Rites rang out from far away. It was as if he had used up all his strength and traveled far, far away…
Clang!
The drums were sounded, and the musical instruments sounded in unison, melodious and pleasant to the ear.
"Your Majesty, please ascend the platform!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Yuan, who was wearing a dragon robe, expressionlessly ascended the high platform…
Looking at the people below and the endless scenery in the distance, Li Yuan was expressionless, but he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
All of this should have been mine!
But now…
Sigh!
Letting out a long sigh in his heart, Li Yuan said in a hoarse voice,""Zhen, I am old and weak. I am no longer suitable to take on the throne.”
"Therefore, today, at this very moment, I announce to the world that I…will abdicate my position and allow my second son, Li Shimin, to inherit the throne!”
His voice was calm and emotionless. This was not because Li Yuan was magnanimous, but because he had already accepted his fate.
What else could he do?
Now, the whole of Chang 'an, and even the world, was under Li Er's control. His troops either died or surrendered.
Even Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's bones had been buried…
He, Li Yuan, could only accept his fate and enjoy his old age. Other than that, there was nothing else he could do!
"Thank you, Imperial Father!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Li Er shouted loudly. Then, he also wore a dragon robe and walked up to the high platform. His dragon robe was even more dazzling and gorgeous than Li Yuan's!
"Are you that impatient…"
Li Yuan asked in a low voice as the two figures passed by each other.
"The throne is for the capable. Father, you…are old.”
Li Er also replied in a low voice. Then, he stepped on the high platform and said in a clear voice,"Thank you, Imperial Father, for your love. After I ascend the throne, I will naturally work hard to govern the country and benefit the people of the world. I will bring peace and well-being to the people and the world!”
Logically speaking, at this time, the many people watching the ceremony below should have already begun to cheer.
However, for some reason, they were all watching helplessly.
It was as if it had nothing to do with him…
Li Er frowned.
He was ambitious and ruthless, but he cared a lot about his reputation. His greatest ambition was to become a 'Saint Monarch' praised by the world!
But now, there wasn't even the slightest cheer when he ascended the throne…
At the side, the Minister of Rites, who was acting as the emcee, saw this and immediately felt that something was wrong. He said," Congratulations on your ascension, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty…"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
When the officials below the stage saw this, they all shouted long live. The commoners were also forced to speak…
Only then did Li Er's expression look better.
Then, the Minister of Rites said," The auspicious time has arrived. Your Majesty, please offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for the well-being of the people, good weather, and peace in the world!”
"Burn the incense!"
The attendants who were already prepared lit up the dragon head incense and were about to hand it over to Li Er when they heard sneers coming from all directions...
"Hahahaha, killing his brother and forcing his father to abdicate. How can such disloyal, unfilial, heartless, and unjust people deserve to be called emperors?”
"Such actions of forcefully taking the throne and disrupting the rules of the court are simply like the hearts of beasts in human faces, worse than beasts!”
"You're just a traitor who has been destroyed. Everyone should be able to kill you!”
Sneers came from all directions, instantly making Li Er and his trusted aides 'faces turn as black as the bottom of a pot. Many commoners also widened their eyes, not knowing what to do…
"Who dares to spout nonsense?"
Li Er roared.
"Quick, find them!”
"What are the guards doing?" Zhangsun Wuji was furious. Find them all and kill them on the spot!"
"Hurry up!"
The soldiers immediately took action, but their cold laughter did not stop…
"Li Er, are you really not afraid of being ridiculed by the world for your beastly Xingjin?”
"Hahaha, his skin is thicker than the city walls. What would he be afraid of?”
"That's true, but let us tell you that your good days are coming to an end!”
"People of the world, listen up!"
"My lord, Champion Marquis Li Qiu, has proclaimed himself king in the Western Regions today. He is determined to purge the side of the sovereign, suppress the traitors, support the Li Clan, and protect the Great Tang!”
"This Li Er has a human face and a beast heart! It seemed to be open and aboveboard, but in reality, it was extremely dirty. For the sake of the throne, he killed his brother, forced his father to abdicate, and slaughtered all his relatives. He was worse than a beast!”
"Brothers and sisters, do not be deceived by this traitor!”
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire sacrificial ground instantly erupted with rumbling sounds. Almost all the citizens were shocked and indescribably shocked!
They did not know the details of the Black Tortoise Sect's change at all. They did not even know that the Black Tortoise Sect's change had happened!
But now, Li Qiu's subordinates had directly torn off this loincloth and exposed the wounds on Li Er's body in front of everyone. They had even sprinkled salt on his mouth!
This shocked the commoners. Li Er was even more furious. He was so angry that he almost spat out blood!
"Kill them! Kill, kill, kill!!!!”
Li Er roared angrily…
On this day, the Great Tang was shaken, and Li Er's reputation fell to rock bottom.
A new first day, continue to ask for data!!! [Crazy Explosion]
