Hello Chang'an Chapter 635

Chapter 635: A new emperor is coming

Li Yin turned around, with no trace of any change on his face: "Sir, please come into the palace."

After a while, Luo Guan walked into the palace, with damp rain on his body.

Although it was late spring, the rain was still a bit chilly, so Li Yin immediately asked the palace servants to get a charcoal basin to dry his clothes and warm up his body.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Luo Guanlin bowed deeply and handed over the document in his hand: "This is the process for the enthronement ceremony. Please have Your Majesty's eye over it."

Li Yin took it with one hand and straightened Luo Guanlin's figure with the other. Seeing that he looked tired, he said: "Sir has been tired these days. You don't have to do such tedious tasks yourself. If you are exhausted, Wouldn't it make this king feel guilty?”

Luo Guanlin's tone was meticulous: "Now that major events have been decided, the available officials or affairs everywhere are unfamiliar, or they may not be able to fulfill their trust. The enthronement ceremony is of great importance, and there is nothing trivial in the whole process. There should be no carelessness."

After finishing speaking, he said to Li Yin: "I know that the prince is busy with affairs, but the process cannot be careless. Please don't be tired of the trouble, and be sure to read it carefully. If there is any doubt, I will answer it for the prince."

Luo Guanlin's attitude is serious and self-centered, even a little tough.

Admittedly, this is not flattering, but it is often very reassuring.

During these days, he was so focused on the enthronement ceremony that he had no time to interfere with other matters. He often had disagreements or even quarrels with other officials because of the etiquette procedures of the ceremony.

Li Yin never seemed to take the initiative to ask anything, but he knew very well that Luo Guanlin had obtained a decent and honorable etiquette for him, but he would never allow anything to "exceed the rules."

At this moment, Li Yin sat down as instructed and watched the ceremony process in detail.

Luo Guanlin was also given a seat with a charcoal basin at his feet. He sat respectfully below and answered Li Yin's questions. He was very familiar and clear when talking about every process.

When a chamberlain came forward to change the tea, he saw this situation and said in a low voice with a smile: "The prince and the gentleman are sitting across from each other to discuss matters. It seems that the king is virtuous and the minister is wise..."

Before Li Yin could respond, Luo Guanlin's face suddenly darkened and he raised his eyes to scold the waiter.

"You dare to make such nonsense before the ceremony is over. If it spreads to the ears of those who are interested, it will only increase trouble!"

The waiter's expression changed, he quickly knelt down to admit his mistake and slapped himself.

There was no mercy on Luo Guanlin's face. He faced Li Yin and admonished: "This may not be a big deal, but someone who is so ignorant of what he says cannot bear to stay by the prince's side. The prince must know that if he is an emperor and is too kind and soft-hearted, the same will happen. It's unethical.”

This can even be called a harsh statement.

However, Li Yin remained humble and peaceful, with a look of education on his face. He obediently asked the servant to be taken out and removed from his position as general manager.

Luo Guanlin's expression softened, he bowed his head to Li Yin, and then changed the topic back to the process of the ceremony.

Li Yin cooperated with him from the beginning to the end. Even in the eyes of the palace attendants, Mr. Luo had fierce words and a strong attitude. He didn't know how to adapt to the situation and even made people sweat from time to time... Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Rong was gentle and kind. Virtue, otherwise I would have been dragged down countless times.

Li Yin knew very well from the beginning that Luo Guanlin was not really loyal to him, Li Yin. What this person supported was the Li family and the Li family's monarchy, and he happened to be the right person for him to realize his ambitions. That's all.

People like Luo Guanlin want to be famous, want to be famous ministers, want to be famous throughout the ages, and want to win a reputation for serving the country and the people. For this reason, they will be strict with others, including themselves and the monarch.

They are the incarnation of the system and firmly believe in the principle of monarch, minister and father and son - and [junior, minister and father and son], there is the father's right of monarch and minister, but there has never been a place for women. This is precisely the reason why this person strongly opposed the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Women are emperors. The offense shattered his fundamental beliefs and interests.

Most of these people are arrogant and arrogant. They can't tolerate sand in their eyes and aliens in their hearts. They spend their entire lives looking for a benevolent monarch who can display their ambitions and tolerate them.

In Li Yin's view, this kind of people are also the best to control. As long as you give them respect and fulfill their good reputation, they can make them burst into tears of gratitude, kneel down and call the Ming Lord, and devote themselves to their lives.

Such a wise king and his ministers are basically just a matter of each getting what he needs, but this kind of relationship between the king and his ministers is the real way to be stable and long-term.

It was almost Zishi when Luo Guanlin stood up and bowed to leave.

It was a cold night and it would still take half an hour to get out of the palace even by sedan, so Li Yin left him to rest in the Manlu Hall.

There is a story in ancient times about emperors and ministers falling asleep with their feet resting on their feet. After Luo Guanlin hesitated for a moment, he did not refuse and moved to the side hall under the guidance of the palace servants.

The night wind had not stopped, and after turning off the lights, Luo Guanlin stood in front of the window with his clothes on. Across a long corridor, he saw a tall forbidden soldier with a sword coming through the night, and a chamberlain trotting to hold a lantern for him.

Luo Guanlin discovered that the man was Li Yin's confidant and was in charge of the imperial army in the capital.

It's such an hour and I still have to come over to report on official business...

Luo Guanlin vaguely noticed something strange.

The martial law in Beijing has been very tight recently, and patrols and investigations in the city have been very intensive. Li Yin has always acted cautiously. In order to ensure that the enthronement ceremony goes smoothly, this is understandable. However, if it is just an ordinary martial law, Li Yin seems to be a little too concerned... Li Yin is certainly cautious, However, he has always been calm and calm, and because everything is planned secretly, he appears to be indifferent on the surface.

Before Luo Guanlin's eyes, Li Yin unconsciously rubbed his fingers several times while talking in the inner hall.

This movement is very subtle, but Li Yin is very good at disguise. This small movement is nothing to others, but it is worthy of attention when it appears on Li Yin's body.

In Luo Guanlin's view, this seemed to indicate that Li Yin was not as calm, patient and calm as he seemed on the surface.

Combined with the commander of the imperial army who came late at night...could he guess that there was some unplanned incident that disturbed Li Yin's mood?

Something that is enough to disturb Li Yin's mood must be a big deal...

Luo Guanlin put his hands behind his hands and stared at the few fuzzy stars appearing in the sky, and a guess emerged unconsciously in his heart.

This speculation shocked his mind. He seemed unmoved, but the voices in his heart were already noisy.

According to common sense, even if he wins or loses, it will never be so fast... But has his lord ever followed common sense?

While his mind was shaking, Luo Guanlin suddenly moved his steps, but then stopped suddenly the next moment.

This uncontrolled step was his most reckless move these days.

Just for a moment, he was eager to find out the confirmation, or in other words, he should go to see the Taifu... But the thousands of floating thoughts were suppressed in the bottom of his heart in the next moment.

If his guess is true, Li Yin must have blocked the news because he was so alert.

And because the Taifu had supported the crown princess in Taiyuan before, he had been secretly and closely monitored by Li Yin's men. This surveillance must be even better than before...

As early as the first meeting in Beijing, the Taifu had hinted to him that there was no need and no more correspondence, and everything should be done according to the original plan to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

At this critical juncture, everyone is under the surveillance of countless pairs of eyes, walking on thin ice at all times. Even a single eye contact may arouse suspicion, thus ruining the entire plan.

Then don't inquire.

Whether she comes back or not is very important to everyone in the world. But for planning, it doesn't matter.

He doesn't need to pry anything. If his lord really comes back, the scene he leaves behind will be the best gift.

In the darkness, Luo Guanlin faced the southeast direction and bowed deeply.

Last year, the night before he left Luoyang, he also saluted north like this.

He was never discouraged. He was just ashamed of himself.

At that time, he heard that his lord was going north, and he could not regain his senses for a long time.

Before such a decision, all the deafening slogans of serving the country and the people would seem pale and shallow.

That night when he stood quietly in the courtyard, no one knew what kind of change he had experienced.

Luoyang no longer needs Qian Shen, and Qian Shen has no place to use it.

Luo Guanlin still had something to do.

If you only point out the situation from the outside and dare not use your body and reputation to enter the game, what kind of counselor is you? How can one be worthy of such a wise master?

It doesn't matter if you are another person's slave. You already have a stigma, so why worry about adding another one?

What he does at this time is what he wants, so there is no need to explain before doing it, and there is no need to correct the name afterwards.

Luo Guanlin stared at the sky for a long time. When he turned around, there was only a look of determination in his eyes.

In the next few days, Li Yin rarely left the Manlu Hall.

There are constant exchanges of officials in the palace every day. Apart from political affairs, the rest of the conversation is related to the upcoming enthronement ceremony.

Luo Guanlin stayed with Li Yin most of the time, assisting in handling affairs, and never took a step outside the palace gate again.

In addition to the officials who were busy with the enthronement ceremony, military attachés were also seen frequently in and out of the Manna Palace.

There is no peace outside the capital. It is said that the "remnants of Bian Army" have gathered a large number of forces to cause chaos. Many officials angrily denounced that this was a deliberate attempt to disrupt the enthronement ceremony and that they were still determined to rebel against the thieves and destroy the Li family. I am afraid there are some among them. Anyone else with different intentions must be punished.

Fortunately, the new emperor who is about to ascend the throne has the foresight to mobilize the troops of the Central Guizhou Province in advance. The army of the Central Guizhou Province will arrive at the Shannan East Road in the next two days. This will ensure that the ceremony will not be disturbed, and all the remaining evildoers can be completely eliminated in one fell swoop. , and thereby establish the power of the emperor.

However, the turmoil outside the capital still affected the capital. The people had experienced too many wars in the past few years. The slightest disturbance made them frightened and did not dare to go out of the city.

This is a good thing. At this critical moment, reducing unnecessary personnel movements is more conducive to controlling the situation.

As a result, the degree of martial law in Beijing has been continuously increased.

What most officials don't know is that the news about the martial law at each city gate comes from all over the place. They are screened repeatedly before they are allowed to spread.

This requires a lot of manpower and material resources, which is difficult to guarantee in the long term, but it is enough to maintain it until the enthronement ceremony is completed.

The city is closely patrolled by forbidden troops, and the city gates are guarded at all levels. Outside the city gates, there are also forbidden troops patrolling. Outside, there are the large forces used by Li Yin to "quell the chaos." Such tight deployments, one after another, make the entire Gyeonggi Province It's like an iron barrel, and even a flying bird can't escape its control.

Everywhere in the capital was on guard, tense, and busy, but everything was in order.

Most members of the Li clan had arrived in Beijing early. They were survivors of the massacre of the clan by Emperor Shengce in the past. Li Yin's ascension to the throne was a real way of bringing order to the throne for them.

Most of them have lost real power over the years. Now that the country has returned to the surname Li, they are all looking forward to regaining power. Most of them are in high spirits and counting the days until the enthronement ceremony.

As of today, there are only three days left before the ceremony.

At this point, some people began to discuss privately that Li Rong, the eldest princess of Xuan'an, who had always held real power in the clan and existed as an exception, had not yet arrived in Beijing.

Li Rong had already set off a month ago.

Half a month ago, Li Yin personally ordered an imperial army to be sent out of the capital to greet the long-lost imperial sister.

On this day, the imperial army returned to the capital and brought back only a few words from Princess Xuan'an.

She claimed that she fell ill during the bumpy journey and the cold she felt was very easy to contaminate. After much deliberation, she decided to stay away from Beijing to recuperate temporarily in order to avoid the coronation ceremony. After the ceremony was completed, she would immediately go to Beijing and pay tribute in person. The new emperor apologizes.

After hearing this, Li Yin had no words to blame, so he sent doctors to go and comfort the emperor's sister, allowing her to rest in peace and recover from her illness. In addition, considering that the south of the capital was experiencing frequent turmoil and was falling into military chaos, more than 500 imperial troops were dispatched to ensure the safety of the emperor's sister.

On the same day, the doctors and the Imperial Army left the capital.

In this regard, Li Yin had already made up his mind - it seemed that his imperial sister already knew the news of Li Suining's return.

His information blockade can currently only be controlled within the capital, but it is useless against Li Rong coming from the direction of Huainan Road.

Li Rong once personally confirmed Li Suining's identity as the princess in Taiyuan, and according to his secret investigation, Li Rong and Chang Kuo seemed to have a "very close relationship"...

At this moment, Li Rong refused to go to Beijing on the excuse of being ill. He made it clear that he wanted to wait and see the outcome, or in other words... he was ready to fall back to Li Suining again.

His imperial sister is not a fool after all. She should know that just because she helped Li Suining in Taiyuan, it will be difficult for her to get preferential treatment from him again. Under such circumstances, continuing to choose Li Suining to come back alive is her best way out. .

That's fine too.

When Li Rongruo comes to Beijing, he has to worry about her having other agendas.

The best situation is to keep all unknown troubles away from the capital at this moment, and wait until the enthronement ceremony is over to properly deal with them one by one.

Of course, the best result would be for the army to quell the chaos outside the capital to eliminate the person who should not have come back in one fell swoop...

What an accomplished crown princess, not to mention that he never recognized her identity as the Li family... And who can truly prove that she never died in the north? Even if there are anyone who can testify, they are all traitors and should be punished.

When you become the emperor, you control the truth.

Unfortunately, his intuition told him that now that she was back, she would not die so easily.

In this case, he, the emperor, would kill her slowly.

Li Yin was still elegant and sat alone in front of the window, playing chess with himself.

On the chess game created by his own hand, fighting is raging.

Outside the hall, the spring breeze washed by rain became increasingly green.

It was sunny for the next few days. On the eve of the ceremony, the officials of the Qin Tian Jian watched the sky at night and felt at ease.

Tomorrow, the third day of March, will be a predictably sunny and auspicious day.

Everything is ready, and the turbulent Dasheng River is about to usher in a new emperor.
