C46 Li Jian had ascended to the throne

Inside the Imperial Palace, the grief had ended. In front of the Supreme Harmony Palace, Li Jian who was dressed in white slowly walked out.

His hair was disheveled and he was staggering as if he had gone mad. His bloodshot eyes were filled with sorrow.

His eyes were dry, and his cheeks were streaked with tears, as if he had been crying for a long time.

"Royal father has worked hard for all these years for the imperial government. Last night, when the Changyang City was on fire, Royal father did not sleep at all. royal father has served the nation all his life, Li Tangguo had peace and peace, everyone loved him, so when we left suddenly, I hope that all the ministers will grieve for him, and that they will listen to His Majesty's last wishes, that they will agree, and persevere on with Li Tang Sheng for a long time to come! "

"Although our subjects are powerless to reverse the situation, inheriting a great cause to benefit the people is the greatest consolation to royal father!"

After Li Jian finished speaking, he seemed to be in unbearable pain.

"Your Highness, my condolences!"

Yuwen Ji stood up and bent over to pay his respects. His old body could not take much longer and fell to the ground as he kneeled. The two civil officials were about to help him, but he waved his hand and pushed them away, struggling to stand up once again. He said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the late Emperor treated his subjects quite well, and now that they have died, this humble official and the others wish to see the remains of His Majesty for the last time."

"Yes."

Li Jian waved his hands, and the eight palace guards carried out the golden dragon coffin while crying. Li Yuan was dressed in a dragon robe and had a golden crown on his head.

The coffin was gently placed in front of the door of the Supreme Harmony Temple, in a place where the wind and snow could not reach.

Yuwen Ji took the lead, Guo Ziyi followed next. The civil and military officials took turns to climb the stairs, stopping in front of the coffin.

The whole place was filled with cries, Yuwen Ji's voice especially loud.

Guo Ziyi quietly stood in front of the coffin and stared at Li Yuan's body. Hot tears leaked out from the corner of his eyes as he remained silent.

When everyone had seen the emperor's face and returned to the hall to enjoy the snow, Yuwen Ji once again stood up and pointed at Guo Ziyi: "Your Highness, this subject had already planned to impeach Guo Ziyi for the top ten crimes in today's assembly! But once his Majesty has passed away, who will be in charge of the imperial government? "

Another official came out and said respectfully, "A country cannot be without a king. Your highness, you are favored by the king. You have been bestowing the title of Crown Prince for more than twenty years. Your majesty has passed away, you should ascend to the throne soon, if not Li Tangguo would be in chaos! "

"Your Highness, the late emperor passed away. We should have lost the world in one month. I heard that the Seafolk are active in the east coast of Daiyuan Kingdom and will invade here in large numbers soon after. If we were to delay them for even a month, there is no guarantee that the Seafolk will be able to attack the innermost regions of Li Tang.

"I humbly request that Your Highness ascend to the throne and take charge of the imperial government!"

"I humbly request that Your Highness take charge of the court affairs, we want to impeach Guo Ziyi, we cannot wait a day!"

It was obviously not enough to strip a prince of the opposite sex of his official position and even send him to prison. He had to be the emperor to give such an order!

Yuwen Ji bringing the officials to impeach Guo Ziyi had calculated this point, not only would it cause Guo Ziyi to panic, it would also prompt Li Jian to ascend to the throne immediately!

"I plead for Your Majesty to ascend to the throne!"

Over a thousand civil and military officials knelt down and shouted in unison.

Guo Ziyi coldly observed from the side, and did not say a single word.

Seeing Guo Ziyi's performance, Li Jian thought that Guo Ziyi had given in and was afraid. He could not help but be secretly pleased.

"I can ascend the throne but my royal father is still in his funeral and should not hold any inauguration ceremony. My subjects should save a tael of silver to defend themselves against the Seafolk! "

Hearing Li Jian's words, all the officials all praised him saying that Li Jian was a wise king, and that he was even more powerful than the Li Yuan who founded Li Tang Sheng.

Li Jian revealed a smile.

To ascend the throne? Why the ceremony? Most of the officials of Changyang City supported him, and that was enough.

Li Jian turned around and entered the Supreme Harmony Hall. Very quickly, he changed into the Dragon Robe and appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing Li Jian who looked like a brand-new Li Jian, many of the officials respectfully shouted out.

"Welcome, your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Yuwen Ji and the other officials were extremely proud. The vast majority of people agreed, that Guo Ziyi had no way out.

Li Jian pressed his hands together and laughed: "All beloved officials, rise!"

"Thank you, your majesty!"

All the officials in the plaza all stood up, their eyes burning with passion as they looked at Li Jian.

Beside Li Jian, in the golden yellow dragon coffin, lay Li Yuan's corpse.

As the officials on the square of the Supreme Peace Hall flattered Li Jian, the snow fell even more violently.

September snow, extremely rare, had never been heard of in Li Tangguo's history.

"Li Yuan, oh Li Yuan, you have been on guard against me for your entire life, have you ever thought of this? I, Guo Ziyi, do not have any thoughts of conspiring against you, but your son is extremely cautious, even thieves would not be able to notice! "

Guo Ziyi raised his head to look at the sky. Dark clouds covered the sun, and the snow wind howled.

While enduring the heavy snow, he finally took a few steps forward. His tiger eyes looked straight at Li Jian who was standing in front of Supreme Harmony Hall, and he said coldly:

"The late emperor passed away, why is it that the Prince did not come out to speak? Your Highness, can you allow Prince to come out? This king has some things that I want to ask you personally. "

When Guo Ziyi opened his mouth, the entire competition grounds fell silent.

The Prince, the shadow of the emperor Li Yuan, on this kind of occasion, how could he not be there?

Yuwen Ji laughed coldly: "Guo Ziyi, your death is near at hand, could it be that you want to plead with Prince? The Prince is in pain, we don't want to see anyone. We have your ten counts, you are about to lose your throne, where do you get the qualifications to see the Prince? Since His Majesty has already ascended the throne, what do you intend to do with the word 'Your Highness'? "

Guo Ziyi tilted his head and looked at Yuwen Ji indifferently, "Yuwen Ji, are you really going to speak to this king like that? "I am the noble king bestowed by His Majesty. According to Li Tang's laws, if you see me, you should kneel on one knee."

"Guo Ziyi, do you really think you're nothing but spring onions now that you've peed in a mirror?" Yuwen Ji bellowed.

"Old dog!"

Just as Guo Ziyi said that, a pa sound came out, and everyone saw Yuwen Ji lying on the ground, with half of his face swollen.

"This king, on behalf of His Majesty, will teach you, an old dog without any rules, a lesson!"

Pah pah pah pah!

Guo Ziyi squatted beside Yuwen Ji. Both of his hands were slapped together, causing Yuwen Ji's cheeks to turn red and his nose and mouth to bleed.

The elderly Prime Minister Yuwen didn't have the power to retaliate at all. He was beaten to the point of gasping for breath by Guo Ziyi as he pointed his trembling finger at Guo Ziyi.

"Yuwen Ji, this king tells you this, this king is not a spring onion. If you continue to be rude, this king will lead my troops to flatten Yuwen Mansion!"

"Bah!"

A mouthful of phlegm was spat on Yuwen Ji's face mercilessly. Yuwen Ji rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.

Guo Ziyi turned his head, and his eyes coldly stared at the officials who supported Li Jian in ascending the throne.
