Chapter 142 The difference of one step (1)
The sunset had come to an end, the sunrise came again. The Situ Yaohua on this day was in a very high-spirit and boundlessly excitement because today he would reach another peak in his life.
That was the goal that he had pursued throughout his life. He would be like his grandfather and his father and own this whole country with magnificent mountains and rivers. And waiting for him to come full of vim!
Today all the officials were in a formation from the Xuanzheng Hall to the public square outside. Today, they would witness the birth of a new emperor.
Some people were excited, some were depressed and others were sad. There were also people who hid their unsatisfaction.
Wouldn’t a country without emperor Jinghui still belong to the crown prince…?
Therefore, no matter who it was, they could only quietly wait for the moment when Situ Yaohua reaches the top. All the previous hostility and dissatisfaction would disappear and become acknowledging allegiance.
When Situ Yaohua was in high-spirits and closest to the dream of his life, the King Administration’s office in the northwest of the imperial capital suddenly suffered an attack from bandits.
The bandits came suddenly and were fierce. The people of the King Administration’s office couldn’t ward them off. The junior of the King Administration could only hide in the office and sent people to ask for help from the Five Military Forces.
They had no other way. These bandits were too fierce. The duty of the King Administration resembled that of the county magistrate. They were in charge of some miscellaneous tasks. How could they have so many armed forces to withstand bandits?
However, when the soldiers from the Five Military Forces came, the bandits had already dispersed just like a group of stinging wasps. After they stung people, they ran away. There was no pause at all which made people confused. The junior of the King Administration could only stomp his feet in hatred. It was really irritating because this group of bandits seemed to have deliberately irritated them. It was simply taunting the King Administration’s prestige. How could the junior King Administration as the second in charge not be alarmed?
What they didn’t know was that after the people of the Five Military Forces left, another group of people immediately went into the direction of the north gate of the Forbidden City.
The reason for this was that Lin Qing was worried that the people of the Five Military Forces were Situ Yaohua’s people. If they found out that they planned to get emperor Jinghui’s Left and Right Imperial Army, they would obstruct them violently. Hence, they chose to lead them away. What did it matter even if Situ Yaohua guarded very tightly? As long as emperor Jinghui wakes up and appear in front of everyone everything would collapse.
Sure enough, when the people of the Prefecture of Arrest were led to the north gate of the Forbidden City by Yue Yi’s group, although the imperial army obstructed them when they first arrived, but when emperor Jinghui truly appeared in front of everyone, everyone seemed to have been struck by thunder and were dumbstruck.
Everyone stared dumbstruck at the man who still exuded and imposing aura sitting the wheelchair. Although not everyone knew emperor Jinghui, but they recognized Lin Qing, eighth prince and the people of the Prefecture of Arrest.
They lined up in a tight formation and protected emperor Jinghui in the center and showed clearly to everyone what the closest army to the emperor was.
It didn’t take much time only because the soldiers stationed at the gate today knew emperor Jinghui. They quickly run down from the upstairs, knelt on one knee and said with cupped fist to emperor Jinghui, “Long live the emperor!”
All the soldiers of the Left Imperial army were shocked and immediately followed their general to make the same move.
These people couldn’t figure out why the people who had said to be died had reappeared. Moreover, the crown prince was in the palace now and everyone was preparing to meet the new emperor.
All of the people who knew the inside story had cold sweats on their foreheads. It seemed that something big was about to happen today!
Emperor Jinghui didn’t bother with them. After letting the people stand up, he took out the imperial jade seal and immediately summoned the commander of the Left Imperial Army. The commander had the same shocked expression, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew that as soon as emperor Jinghui appeared, the person he should only show loyalty to was emperor Jinghui. After all, the emperor’s personal army was not a joke. That was because they were loyal to only the emperor.
Soon, the commander of the Right Imperial Army was also summoned by emperor Jinghui. Similarly, he turned to emperor Jinghui without even thinking about it. They wouldn’t think that they couldn’t compare to the people of the Prefecture of Arrest.
Lin Qing swept over all the troops and then continued to push emperor Jinghui forward.
Someone had immediately reported what was happening here to Situ Yaohua and he reported it in front of all the officials. Everyone was in uproar and at this time, Situ Yaohua hasn’t become the emperor yet.
Everyone was confused at this moment and didn’t know how to react.
His Majesty hasn’t died yet? And has appeared? There was even Lin Qing and the others. Then, can the ceremony still be carried out today?
