Chapter 725 The little emperor ascends the throne(1/2)

 Queen Wang Zhenying held Sima Dezong, who had nothing to do with her, and sat behind the throne, looking down at the ministers under the imperial steps.

Next to her is Sima Yao's chief eunuch, Yuan Bao. If the new emperor ascends the throne directly and can handle government affairs, then Yuan Bao, the chief eunuch, will have to give up his position.

However, the current situation of the Jin Dynasty is about to usher in an era where the Queen Mother will be regent for a relatively long period, and the Emperor will have no say at all.

Then Yuanbao is lucky enough to continue to serve.

This was the main reason why Yuan Bao turned to Wang Mi and his gang from the very beginning when he saw that Sima Daozi was interested in replacing him.

If Sima Daozi succeeds in ascending to the throne, he will definitely take his caring little eunuch to manage the affairs of the harem. It is absolutely impossible for Sima Daozi to leave a place for Yuan Bao.

He, the chief eunuch, has not done enough for his addiction, so how can he give up his position so easily?

If a person does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

Now, the little puppet emperor is ready. Wang Zhenying cooperates with her brother Wang Gong and gives him the face of a great eunuch. Yuanbao will naturally have to work hard to organize all the affairs in Jiankang Palace.

bustling with excitement.

Of course, this also includes the reading of the edict, and listen to him recite the edict prepared by Wang Gong, word for word, in a mellow tone.

Wang Zhenying was sitting behind the throne, but she was not idle. She was observing, especially the faces of the ministers who were not Wang Gong's party at the beginning.

From their various expressions, you can clearly judge what they are thinking at the moment.

very good!

It seems that everyone is very supportive.

Wang Zhenying nodded with satisfaction. At this moment, the recitation of Yuan Bao came to an end and finally ended.

"I respectfully welcome His Majesty to the throne!"

As soon as Yuan Bao finished speaking, Wang Gong immediately led the ministers in singing congratulations. The tacit cooperation was simply astonishing.

Of course there is a tacit understanding, this set of procedures has been colluded by them a long time ago, and in this drama of enthronement, Yuanbao occupies an extremely important position.

It is precisely because of him that there is an outsider between the Wang brothers and sisters, making this big drama look less like a one-man show starring the brother and sister.

"I respectfully welcome His Majesty to the throne. Please take your seat, the Queen Mother." But this chant did not come from Wang Gong.

But it came from Yuan Yuezhi. Seeing how active he was, Wang Gong immediately cast a look of approval, "Well done, little Yuan!"

Since Sima Dezong had not even learned how to stand and still needed someone to hold him, according to past regulations, when the new emperor ascended the throne, Wang Zhenying, the Queen Mother, had to hold Sima Dezong and sit on the throne together with him to accept the officials.

of worship.

It was not until Sima Dezong was about ten years old that he could sit on the throne alone and accept the worship of the officials.

Wang Zhenying was very excited when she thought that she could live with the addiction for so many years.

Not only Yuan Yuezhi, but also representatives of the Xie family and Xi family all expressed their support for Sima Dezong's ascension to the throne as emperor.

In this way, several major families in the imperial court have almost reached a consensus on this matter. Wang Gong, who originally did not have much appeal and could not lead other major families, used Sima Yao's death to manipulate himself into a

The leader among the ministers.

In this court, there is only one person who can surpass Wang Gong so far, and that is Xie An, who stayed at home for some reason and did not come to share in the prosperous times.

Xie An's absence did not surprise Wang Gong. In fact, he did not show up and did not express any opinions. This was already expressing his attitude.

He supports Wang Gong, otherwise, he would have jumped out and caused trouble.

With Xie An's reputation, as long as he does not support it, ministers from both the government and the public will turn against him like a mountain and a tsunami.

As the chief among the ministers present, Wang Gong naturally took over the responsibility of presenting the seal and ribbon to the new emperor.

Holding these ritual vessels that symbolized supreme power, he walked to the imperial steps step by step.

This is a farce, a comedy destined to deceive the world.

Once he climbed these steps, once he put the ribbon symbolizing power on the little baby, the transfer of power to the Jin Dynasty was completed.

And he, Wang Gong, will also become the next rising power official and start his own era.

The further up he went, the more uneasy Wang Gong felt, and behind him, Yuan Yuezhi watched him step by step.

Is this his place?

If he could successfully seize power, if Sima Yao hadn't died suddenly and suddenly, would Yuan Yuezhi have a chance?

No!

Won't!

Not only did he, Yuan Yuezhi, not have a chance, but many of the ministers present, including those who wanted to compete and those who just wanted to get by, did not have this chance.

The key is not whether they have the ability, but rather their status.

Wang Gong is the uncle of the state, and as long as Wang Zhenying is still there, his power will not disappear. But for children like them from other aristocratic families, without the convenience of this relative, it will be difficult for them to rise up and seize power.

It was precisely after realizing this fact that Yuan Yuezhi gritted his teeth and cooperated with Wang Gong.

As for ministers from other aristocratic families, such as Xi Hui, they certainly belong to first-class aristocratic families, and they once had the qualifications to compete for the number one position.

Moreover, their parents have also succeeded.

But now, it is obvious that their position is not superior to Wang Gong. In order to stop Sima Daozi, a fool who is eager to try, they can only put aside their disputes and stand by Wang Gong's side.

A little kid who shakes his head and doesn't understand anything is always much more pleasing to the eye than Sima Daozi, who is addicted to food.

After the ministers finished singing, Wang Gong also came to the girl.

The brother and sister looked at each other, seemingly unfazed, but only they knew that this was an era, and this was an opportunity they were waiting for together.

Finally arrived!

"Wait!"

With a loud shout, Wang Gong just picked up the ribbon and was about to put it on the little baby's head. Suddenly it shook and the whole thing fell down.

"King Langya is here!"

"finally come!"

"I knew he couldn't just accept his fate."

Amid the discussion among the ministers, Sima Daozi, the king of Langya, stepped up to the hall with vigorous steps. He regarded this place as his own territory.

He despised everything and was arrogant about everything. Although he was at a disadvantage for a while, he firmly believed that he would definitely regain his position.

"Wang Aning, you didn't know to inform me about such an important matter. What are your intentions?"

"Even if I am not allowed to take over the position of eldest brother, I will still be King Langya. I wonder what you want to do?"

"Do you want to rebel?" Sima Daozi opened his eyes and looked as if he wanted to kill someone.

Today, he had enough reason to shoot them.

Each of these ministers, these children of aristocratic families standing in the main hall of Jiankang Palace, are his enemies!

Only today did he really see it clearly!

Sima Daozi turned his eyes, and one of the ministers immediately shrugged his shoulders.

Among the many flattering ministers, there was only one who could not resist Sima Daozi's accusing look.

That is Yuan Yuezhi!

Although Sima Daozi did not have much communication with Yuan Yuezhi, he knew very well that this originally a child of a small family was once a good friend of Wang Guobao.

And they once formed an alliance and wanted to support Sima Daozi's rise to power.

And what's going on now?

This man actually stood next to Wang Gong in a majestic manner. Looking at him actively singing, he seemed to have no pressure at all.

Only then did Sima Daozi realize a heavy fact!

Among those ministers who had repeatedly supported him, only Wang Guobao was sincere, only he was unshakable!

No matter what his character is or what his purpose is, he is a person who can be assured.

Sima Daozi couldn't help but feel ashamed as he felt nostalgic about the present. It was extremely difficult for him to feel such an emotion.

But now, he felt it personally.

At the same time, he also regretted that if he could have stepped forward to protect Sima Yao when he dealt with Wang Guobao.

Will everything be different today?

With this idea in mind, Sima Daozi came to Wang Gong step by step under the attention of everyone.

After a moment, Wang Gong also reacted. He took advantage of the time lag between Sima Daozi's provocation and staged his show to adjust his state.

"Your Highness has wronged Wei Chen. Wei Chen sent a message early in the morning. The time and place were clearly written down. All my colleagues can testify. In order to wait for His Highness, the ceremony was delayed for some time."

"Now that His Highness has arrived, it is the right time. I would also like to ask His Highness to be a witness, so that the ceremony will be more formal."

You know how to find trouble, but I, Wang Gong, can’t?

He turned around and handed the ribbon to Sima Daozi's hand. Sima Daozi was concentrating on raising an army to investigate the crime. Who would have thought that Wang Gong would make such a move, and he was immediately stunned.

Unconsciously, I held the ribbon in my hand.
