Luoyang City.

The first day of the first lunar month.

It’s a new year again, and the old year is removed and the new charm is added.

The people who had been in war for ten years finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were celebrating on the streets freely, and the city was full of dancing people. The entire world's princes and warlords stopped fighting and poured into Luoyang City. Even the Western Chu and Northern Zhou, which had always been in conflict with the Ming Dynasty, sent a group of envoys to celebrate Zhao Langjiang. It should not be the ceremony of Zhu Yi's new emperor ascension.

The imperial court has long issued a decree that the curfew will be lifted from New Year's Eve to Shangyuan Festival, and the city will be celebrated within fifteen days.

In the early morning, the city gates opened.

Countless people near the prefecture also came to Luoyang to witness the historical moment when the new emperor ascended the throne. Among the crowd, there were two middle-aged men, one with silver hair, elegant and dashing appearance, as if Pan An, the most beautiful man in Luoyang, were all inferior to him. Although the other was not as good as the former, he was also handsome. As soon as the two entered the city, they attracted everyone's attention in the east market. Even the sisters in Chunfeng Tower put down their business of attracting customers, and the silver-haired man threw away the embroidered handkerchief.

These two are Xiao Jinyan and Li Qingcheng.

They mixed in the early morning among the first group of people entering the city.

The streets and alleys are full of traffic.

Xiao Jinyan looked at these smiling people and couldn't help but sigh, "No matter how bloody the means of seizing the world are, the people do not care about the struggles of the powerful and nobles. What they want is only peace. If you want to hand him a sword, have you ever thought that they will fall into a new round of war?"

Li Qingcheng said, "That guy deployed more than 100,000 troops in the four neighboring palaces of Dingzhou, and just gave an order to come to Dingzhou to massacre the city again. He won the world and destroyed the entire world. In this world, that guy can do whatever he wants, and you still talk for him?"

Xiao Jinyan sighed.

I came to Dingzhou not for Zhao Langjiang, but for the 100,000 people in Dingzhou, but for you, Li Qingcheng.

But he didn't say it explicitly.

Everyone knows that Zhao Langjiang was born in Dingzhou.

But this city is not within the territory of the New Ming Dynasty, and no emperor can tolerate it.

Xiao Jinyan asked: "Does we have to fight for life and death?"

Li Qingcheng said lightly: "I only use one sword. If he can take this sword, I will never enter the world."

Nowadays, Li Qingcheng has a clear sword heart, no sword in his hand, nor does he have a sword in his heart, but his ten years of seclusion in the Great Snow Mountain allowed him to understand the purest sword intent between heaven and earth.

How could mortals catch the sword of the white-clothed sword god?

Even the dragon among people and the king of the Golden Sword Zhao Langjiang may not be fully confident.

...

The ceremony of the throne is set at 3:00 noon.

According to the rules, after receiving the Heavenly Tribute, Zhao Langjiang climbed to the top of the palace and accepted the worship of ten thousand people in the square. This was the idea that Chai Gong Wang came up with. What could be more exciting than standing on the highest place in Luoyang after seizing the country and looking down at the world to surrender?

The two walked towards the inner city.

A team of officers and soldiers escorted a carriage toward this side, and they were also one of the nobles who went to the palace to attend the throne ceremony.

After seeing the carriage with the logo of the Western Chu royal family, the people gave way, fearing to avoid it. Now Western Chu has a close relationship with the Ming court. If it conflicts with the nobles on the carriage, no one can afford this charge. Xiao Jinyan and Li Qingcheng will not let the trouble cause trouble, and they will also make way out of the way.

The carriage stopped in front of the two.

The captain of the first guard stepped forward and said, "Who is Xiao Jinyan and Xiao Hero?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "I am."

The captain of the guard said, "Our master has invited the car to speak."

On the carriage, a corner of the curtain was lifted.

Li Qingcheng said, "What, I want to meet your little lover in a while? Let's fight quickly, we don't have much time."

Xiao Jinyan said angrily, "The dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory."

He bowed to the captain of the guard and said, "For the love, I will say to your master, I will never forget that on that night on the prairie, I heard the most wonderful singing in the world."

The captain of the guard was stunned and did not force him to go back and report.

A sigh came from inside the car.

The carriage continued to rush and disappeared from the sight of the two.

Today, the Crescent Spring is the regent of Western Chu, and his son, who is less than six years old, is just a puppet in her hands. It is said that when the Western Chu royal family was in chaos, Li Xian suddenly died suddenly, and he was inseparable from the person in the car and the King of Yinyang Zhao Langjiang. Of course, it was just a sensation. However, over the past ten years, Western Chu and Yinyang have lived in peace and trade frequently, which has provided considerable help for Zhao Langjiang to capture the Central Plains.

The Crescent Spring is no longer the ignorant girl who was in love back then.

Xiao Jinyan is not a unruly prodigal son in the world.

It is better to forget each other than to support each other.

The inner city is in sight.

Due to the limited venue, the square could only accommodate tens of thousands of people. Many people, gentry and famous scholars entered the inner city with invitations issued by the court. These people were carefully selected by the court, either rich or noble. Xiao Jinyan and Li Qingcheng were blocked at the gate of the inner city.

The guard said: "No invitation is allowed to enter. Who knows if you are the assassins who are planning to be ill-gotten?"

While the two were hesitating whether to find a secluded place to climb over the wall and get out, a general in armor came to the inner door and said, "Let them in!"

The person who came was Su Zhengyuan.

After ten years of seeing him, he is still bloated, but as one of the five tiger generals, the kind of pressure he brings is better than before.

Residential nourishing the body and transfer nourishing the qi.

Changes in status and environment can indeed change a person's temperament.

Who would have thought that more than ten years ago, he was just a small constable in Suzhou City. He tried his best to find ways to make money and fought against the National People's Congress for a few taels of silver. Now he has become the hottest celebrity under the New Emperor and the general who commands 100,000 troops?

The guard said, "Marson Su, these two people are no longer invited, and their identities are suspicious."

Su Zhengyuan sneered, "If there is any accident, it's all over my head."

The guards dared not to contradict each other, so they quickly let them go.

Xiao Jinyan and Li Qingcheng followed Su Zhengyuan into the inner city.

Xiao Jinyan said, "General Su, what a big style."

Su Zhengyuan did not speak and did not answer.

Xiao Jinyan realized that he was no longer the Su Zhengyuan he used to be.

Su Zhengyuan led the two to a secluded place and said, "I don't know the purpose of your coming here, and I don't want to ask. But what I tell you is that as soon as you enter the city, you are targeted by the target. I hope you can attend the ceremony honestly and leave calmly."

Li Qingcheng suddenly asked, "This

Is it your meaning or Zhao Langjiang's meaning?"

Su Zhengyuan said: "Is there any difference?"

Although it was not stated clearly, Zhao Langjiang was Su Zhengyuan's boss. With his cautious style, he would definitely not risk being impeached and came to warn the two of them. The only feasible explanation is that Zhao Langjiang used Su Zhengyuan to pass messages to the two of them. After all, it was considered a meeting back then.

Li Qingcheng said: "Of course there is a difference."

Su Zhengyuan said: "Half a month ago, Lu Liangce and Chu Xiang went to Dingzhou."

After Li Bufan's death, Lu Liangce was now the most ruthless general in the world. Wherever he went, no grass would grow. The soldiers and horses of the prince Xiang in Shitou City were not ordinary people. He went there together, one to execute Zhao Langjiang's orders, and the other to avoid the people of the Western Chu royal family to avoid conflicts with them. After all, Zhao Langjiang promised the prince Xiang that one day he would help him send troops to regain the power of the Chu State.

Two of the Five Tiger Generals went to Dingzhou, so of course they were not going to travel.

Li Qingcheng frowned, "Are you threatening us?"

Su Zhengyuan said, "Who in the world can threaten you? His Majesty's safety is threatened."

Xiao Jinyan also felt angry.

However, Su Zhengyuan's next words moved them.

"Since the catastrophe of heaven, wars and disputes have continued, and the people have been displaced. The prince cannot bear to sit idly by, so he sent troops to seize the world. If today is unification, the troubled times will end. Do you two have the heart to let the war start again and let the people in the world continue to fall into turmoil? Although Zhao Langjiang used you two, this was his helpless move, and he regretted it."

He added, "This is what Your Majesty said."

Su Zhengyuan kept changing the name of Zhao Langjiang, and obviously he had no idea about persuasion in his heart. However, this was a task assigned by Zhao Langjiang and he had to do it. After all, among the people in the court, his identity was the most appropriate.

"Repent?" Li Qingcheng sneered, "I'm afraid I'm very proud."

Su Zhengyuan said: "I am just responsible for conveying it. I believe you two will make the right choice."

In the inner city, there were ten cannons.

Bells and drums ring together.

Obviously, the throne ceremony officially began.

While they were talking, Zhao Langjiang had already received the empowerment of heaven in the palace and was officially renamed Zhu Yi. From then on, the three characters Zhao Langjiang will become history. And this new master of the world of Ming Dynasty, his surname is Zhu and his name is Yi.

Su Zhengyuan said: "You have two minutes to make a decision."

Xiao Jinyan was struggling inside.

Once Li Qingcheng takes action, regardless of the outcome, both sides will be considered to have a formal breakup, and the 200,000 troops outside Dingzhou City will surely enter the city.

Li Qingcheng looked at Xiao Jinyan, unable to bear to be so entangled, and said lightly: "I have made a decision. General Su, please lead the way. Let's go and have a visit to this new master of the world, our Ming Emperor."

Su Zhengyuan did not receive a positive reply, and his back was covered in sweat, so he took them into the square.

The drums were loud.

The civil and military ministers lined up from the palace and came to the palace wall.
