Chapter 1417 King's Landing(1/2)
"Your Majesty, Wang Chengen is here." A palace maid interrupted the warm moment between the emperor and the queen in a low voice.
Chengqian replied in disgust, "It's getting late, let him go back."
"He said there was something important to spread a message for the Regent."
Xia Hua turned her head and said to the palace man, "Didn't you hear Your Majesty say he will not see you? You won't retreat!"
The palace servant repeatedly apologized and bowed his head and stepped down.
"Wait." Chengqian stopped her, "Let Wang Chengen come over."
Xia Hua said to Chengqian, "If Your Majesty doesn't want to see him, you don't have to see him. You are still the emperor now. Even if you abdicate, you will still be the King of Tang. An unfaithful eunuch slave dares to deceive the king like this."
"Forget it, I'm going to leave anyway. Since he is the next dog of the Regent's family, let's hear what he wants to convey." Cheng Qian patted Xia Hua's hand and said.
When Wang Chengen came in, he had a smile on his face. When he met, he knelt down to Chengqian and saluted him. There was no sign of any mistake in the etiquette.
However, Cheng Qian felt disgusted and nauseated when he looked at his smooth and bellow chin and the smile on his face. This man was originally a confidant of his father, but later he betrayed his father without hesitation and then betrayed him.
He thought to himself that this eunuch who seems harmless might betray Zhang Chao one day sooner or later.
"Wang Cheng'en, you should change your name. The name Cheng'en was given to you by my father back then. Do you think you are worthy of it now? Do you still have the face to use it? Don't you feel guilty when you use this name?"
"Thank you for your reminder. I have asked the Regent for a name. Today I just gave me a name called Guozhong, and I will call Wang Guozhong from now on."
Hearing this, Cheng Qian was so angry that he almost got up and beat the shameless eunuch slave.
Wang Guozhong, why don’t you be called a slave who is destroyed?
There are many shameless people in the world, but there is no such shameless person as him. "Stop talking nonsense to me, what do you have to say when the Regent asked you to come here?"
"Your Majesty ascended the throne tomorrow, and I hope your Majesty can arrive on time. Your Majesty also said that these are all prior agreements. If Your Majesty does not go, it will be regarded as a break of the previous agreement. Your Majesty should clearly understand the consequences of the time."
"Is this a threat?"
Wang Chengen smiled.
This is considered an admission.
Cheng Qian gritted his teeth with anger.
"Wang Cheng'en, be arrogant." Xia Hua scolded.
Cheng Qian grabbed Xia Hua, "Okay, I will remember the agreement. I will definitely go tomorrow and will cooperate with the Grand Tutor well. Okay, now you can get out."
"I'm asking for my retreat." Wang Chengen bowed and retreated.
"If Your Majesty feels that he doesn't want to go, he can't go. My father can't do anything to you." Xia Hua comforted her husband.
"I will go, it's not a bad day anyway. I'm already a king of a country that has been destroyed. Could it be that if I don't go, the Tang Dynasty will not perish?"

Ganlu Temple.
This emperor's bedroom is now Zhang Chao's bedroom.
It's been three times late at night.
Zhang Chao and Shisanniang were lying on the dragon bed, both excited.
It is false to say that you are not excited and excited. After all, this is the palace and this is the dragon bed. From tomorrow on, Zhang Chao will be the lord of the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and Cui Yingying will also become the queen of the mother's mother.
"I feel like I'm dreaming." Cui Yingying said with her arms around Zhang Chao's waist.
"I never thought I would have come to this point before. At that time, I felt that being an emperor was actually very tired, not a thing to enjoy, but too much responsibility. I am actually a lazy person. I am actually quite ashamed of them when I reach this point today."
What Zhang Chao said about them was the three emperors of the Tang Dynasty.
They had great trust in him, and Zhang Chao was not a good minister.
Some people also say that he is ungrateful or something. Zhang Chao can accept all the infatuations, and the fact is indeed the case.
He, Zhang Chao, is indeed not a good minister.
He owed the old Li family all his life, so he wanted to treat Cheng Qian and others well and refused to kill the Li Tang royal family.
"I can't pay off my debts to the Li family in this life. I can't be a good minister, I can only be a good emperor."
"Don't worry too much about those things," Thirteen Niang advised.
In fact, although the emperor of Li Tang had very high achievements, which one was an ordinary person?
As an imperial relative of the Sui Dynasty and an important official, Li Yuan rebelled before Yang Guang died, supporting Yang Guang's grandson to occupy Chang'an, Guanzhong, and respect Yang Guang as the Supreme Emperor.
As soon as Yang Guang died, Li Yuan asked the puppet emperor to abdicate. Although Li Shimin's achievements were higher than Li Yuan, he seized the throne with his second son and killed his brothers and imprisoned his father. His methods of getting promoted were also very disgraceful.
Even Chengqian rose up and forced his father to abdicate before he ascended the throne.
But no matter what, they are all good emperors.
Maybe they are not good ministers, not good sons, and good brothers, but they are still good emperors.
What Zhang Chao can work hard now is to be a good emperor.
"What I am most reluctant to leave now are the two sisters Xia Hua and Xiaolong." Cui Yingying sighed. Especially Xia Hua, who is her daughter, now she doesn't want her mother to ask for her husband, she wants to leave the Central Plains and go to Africa.
"What a married daughter, splashed water."
"I can't bear to leave it alone, but this is her own choice, and we can't even care about it as parents."
I have to say that the children of the Zhang family have accepted a lot of Zhang Chao’s new ideas since childhood, which is indeed very unusual.
"Go to sleep, I'll be busy tomorrow."

August 8th.
Great luck.
The emperor ordered the king of Luzon to proclaim the world: "On the eighth day of the eighth month of the third year of Kaiyuan, the emperor said, "The emperor of Luzon was consulted. Tang inherited Yao's fortune and had the meaning of preaching the saints. He added the order of Lingjie and the order of Tianming. He sent the Taifu Fang Xuanling and the Taibao Li Jing to receive the emperor's seal and ribbon. The king of the king of all countries respected the power of heaven and allowed him to hold it. Tianlu was forever, so respected him!"
This was the emperor's first edict of abdication.
At Zetian Gate, Zhang Chaogong refused to accept it.
According to convention, you must have three meditations and three entries.
After the first Zen, after the first.
Soon, a second edict of abdication arrived again.
The imperial edict said: "The emperor asked the King of Luzon: I sent Qiao to the letter and quoted him. I heard that the family of Tang has three generations, and the fortune has ended. After the destiny of the world, the heart of heaven has changed, and the people have lost their hopes. If the desolation of heaven has come, there will be a future... Now I am sending Qiao to the emperor's seal and ribbon, and the king will ascend the throne, but he will not rebel against my order, so he will only serve the heart of heaven."
After the edict was issued, Zhang Chao bowed again.
Then the third edict was issued.
The king of Luzon was enthroned and said, "The sky was ashamed of the Tang Dynasty, and the sky was wise. I only had the will of heaven, and I sent the king to the king... Now I am sending the emperor's seal and ribbon. The king accepted it to answer the world's response."
Three meditations and three give way.
He abdicated three times and bowed three times. Every time he abdicated the edict was issued, all officials persuaded him to advance together, but Zhang Chaojian refused.
This is actually a ritual.
All officials are performing this ceremony.
Even Emperor Chengqian of Tang sat there to cooperate in the performance and play his own ritual.
Originally, these three edicts of abdication were not issued within one day.
However, Zhang Chao didn't want to do it too complicated. Even if it was a ceremony, there was no need to perform it for too long.
After the third abdication edict was issued, Zhang Chao expressed his initial acceptance.
then.
Chengqian issued the fourth edict of abdication.
Cabinet Prime Minister Ma Zhou, Hanlin President Fang Xuanling, House President Wei Zheng, and Lower President Xu Jingzong reported, "I will always give up the Grand Historian to choose Yuanchen. Today is a great auspicious day. You can go to the altar to receive the order. Please order the princes and ministers to express their etiquette and separate etiquette."
Zhang Chao no longer refuses.
"Can!"
Now, Zhang Chao finally took over the edict of abdication.
The throne ceremony began immediately afterwards.
He ascended the altar to receive Zen, and tens of thousands of people accompanied the throne in the four barbarians.
The sacrifices to heaven and earth, the five mountains and the four rivers.
The Chinese Empire was established in amidst the raging fireworks.
Chengqian was given the title of emperor and was demoted to the title of King of Tang of the Chinese Empire.
"Shan Hu!" Wang Chengen, who changed his name to Wang Guozhong, stood there and shouted loudly.
"Long live my emperor!"
"Shanhu!"
