Two young men of different ages stepped into the courtyard of the main hall of MingQi palace. The aura of the two is very different. If prince Rong displayed a haughty and arrogant look on his way to his seat, then prince Yan displayed a friendly and warm countenance. A smile continued to radiate from his handsome face and of course it made some young ladies who peeked on the sidelines of the tribute not forget to scream quite slowly.
Just now that the princes or officials had occupied her seat, Empress Lien impatiently said "because prince Rong is here, how about we just start the coronation ceremony?" The opinion of Empress Lien that sounded like encouragement and also insistence.
From what Empress Lien brought up. Ai can conclude that Empress Lien was impatient and also very ambitious about her son's coronation. Ai's thoughts about Empress Lien were also thought by some officials who chose to be a neutral and impartial stronghold. Even if their position could fall. But their choice is clearly better than taking the side of one person who if it fails then there is no longer a life expectancy for them.
Emperor Wei was grieving in heart. The empress clearly showed her ambition very clearly and clearly. Even a layman would think and think like the emperor of Wei. Sighing softly, the Wei emperor signaled to the general and cultural prime minister, who became the leader in the organization of the coronation ceremony under the supervision of Empress Lien. Although his heart is reluctant and heavy, but considering his favorite son will only come back if he does this. So the Wei emperor would continue to do so without arousing suspicion because he believed in the crown prince Rui.
'Dad has done your orders. Now how do you handle it, crown prince Rui' Inner emperor Wei
The prime minister of Tie who is the minister of the general and cultural ministries then took Prince Rong away to a room that has been prepared to change clothes. After Prince Rong's clothes changed into imperial clothes and wore an emperor's hat where there was a decoration of a jade - a small jade dangling in front of his handsome face.
Unable to lie to himself, Prince Rong was so happy and nervous that his heart almost exploded. He could not believe that this day would come. He could not believe that everything was going so smoothly and soon all things would bow to him after he got the throne and occupied the throne of emperor MingQi.
"Awhile more. Just in a minute. You will definitely regret having treated Beng Wang like the last wind"
A grinning smile rose on his face. His eyes exuded arrogance as well as arrogance. Prince Rong behaved as if - would the goddess of luck side with him today. Victory was already in his grasp and now his degree was rising as if - he would be in the sky and everyone would just bow down under his feet.
It turned out that the feeling that Prince Rong felt was also felt by the empress Lien as well as the followers of prince Rong. They continued to emit a triumphant smile not forgetting to start showing a proud and arrogant attitude when prince Rong with his entourage of ladies and eunuchs flanking him entered through the front gate.
The sound of drums and other musical instruments is played. The sacred atmosphere began to be felt as prince Rong got closer to the terrace of the main hall where later the emperor Wei will hand over the royal seal MingQi also pinned the emperor's crown made of real gold with pearl decoration and rare and expensive jade. The crown was quite heavy and he had been craving for it all along. But today and for the next few years, the crown will remain on his head until the end of his life and his successor will take and take his place.
Prince Rong gave up his thoughts. The euphoria he felt made him lose his focus and consistency at the pivotal event that would go down in MingQi history.
Currently Prince Rong had reached the foot of the stairs. Slowly he began to climb the steps one by one and left the entourage of eunuchs and maids who were running it. As long as Prince Rong stepped up each rung of the stairs, then as much as even more than that his heartbeat raced with so much force.
With the nervousness he felt, Prince Rong tried to be calm and remember the goals and difficult times he went through to this point. Remembering that made Prince Rong calm enough that he did not realize he had reached the terrace of the main hall.
A eunuch immediately approached him and began to paddle himself and lead him to the table with various offerings. There a priest was waiting for him to be sworn in and also the Wei emperor who displayed a flat face.
The existence of the Wei emperor there was clearly to give up his throne. Dimata Ai or the sharp Holing general, both caught the reluctance that the Wei emperor emanated although somewhat vague.
"Dad is just my feeling. His majesty seems heavy to give his position" whispered Ai voicing his opinion to General Holing who was sitting on his left side.
"Dad also thought that way"' replied General Holing
When Ai wanted to ask 'why?' Fan Huan who was on his right side first reprimanded the two. As a result, the two silenced and chose to refocus on the coronation ceremony.
The pastor then began the ceremony by offering prayers, everyone was of course solemn when the pastor offered prayers - prayers both for government, peace and safety of the palace and also the capital MingQi. After the prayer was finished, the pastor began to ask questions to Prince Rong who would carry out the process of shedding.
'Just a step away' The sentence kept them muttering in their hearts. When they are unable to be patient and wait for the coronation process which is the peak event and is the closing event. Emperor Wei began to feel worried and anxious. Crown Prince Rui showed no sign of going ahead with his plans.
'Did Lie lie to her? Is Lie a part of them?' The questions began to disturb the concentration of the Wei emperor. Emperor Wei's consciousness was forcibly snatched away as prime minister Tie reprimanded him.
"Your highness"
"Your highness, it's time to surrender your throne" said prime minister Tie who managed to take the Wei emperor's attention to him.
Emperor Wei exhaled heavily, he started to step forward and said "Zhen, the emperor of MingQi kingdom. Will hand over the people's duties and orders to you, are you willing?" Asked the Wei emperor who was nodding to Prince Rong
"I'm ready!" Prince Rong replied.
Emperor Wei began handing over the royal seal, removing Prince Rong's hat and removing his crown. Emperor Wei would pin the crown on Prince Rong. When only a few inches of the crown was pinned, a young man with a large headscarf made of rattan and straw stepped forward and walked in the middle of the courtyard of the main hall. The soldiers quickly surrounded the young man causing quite a commotion.
"Stop!"
The screams of the young man in a very femiliar voice were captured by the hearing of the emperor Wei. His familiar shout managed to grab the attention of the ruler of the MingQi kingdom. As he focused on looking at the young man, his hands holding the makhota were suspended in midair.
The young man then said again "You should not give the crown that should be mine, to a child that is not even your flesh and blood" coinciding with his sentence, the young man took off his headscarf and at that moment, all eyes were shocked.
"Yes-yes-his highness son ma. crown Rui!"
