Chapter 750 The Coronation Ceremony 3

The Imperial Astronomical Bureau had clearly predicted a clear and sunny day for the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

But for some reason, the clear, warm sun was suddenly covered by several dark clouds, and the clouds seemed to be piling up.

The officials of the Imperial Observatory couldn't help but shudder. It was all over; their careers might be coming to an end today!

It's not uncommon for weather forecasts to go wrong, but what kind of day is today? It's the day the new emperor ascends the throne!

The chief official of the Imperial Observatory wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and took out a compass from his sleeve.

Something's not right! Something's definitely not right!

They had observed the stars the night before and clearly saw that today was a cloudless day, a perfect day for good weather.

How can the celestial phenomena change so rapidly? Something's not right!

Alas, could this be fate? Was this calamity destined for the Imperial Observatory?!

At first, a few dark clouds gathered, and then thunder started to rumble.

Dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and raindrops fell—this was to be expected.

The civil and military officials were completely bewildered by the sudden storm: This was the auspicious day chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau?! Were they joking?

The Imperial Observatory staff: It's over, it's over, it's completely over! Now it's their turn to be subjected to the confiscation of property and extermination of their entire clan!

Just as the crown prince finished putting on his coronation ceremony attire, he heard thunder and lightning outside.

The palace servants dared not utter a sound; His Highness had been in a bad mood these past few days, so they had to be even more careful.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready. Is it... perhaps..."

Where are the people from the Imperial Observatory?

"Your Majesty, yes, outside the palace."

"Hmph, an auspicious day, a well-chosen day!"

The officials of the Imperial Observatory had already foreseen their impending execution, but since it was the joyous occasion of the coronation, they figured they could keep their heads for a few more days, after which they would inevitably lose them.

The red brocade was soaked by the heavy rain, and the palace musicians who had been prepared in advance were also drenched because they were standing in the open air.

The instruments were soaked and made a rumbling sound; for a moment, it was impossible to tell which was thunder and which was the sound of the instruments.

Officials standing outside the hall were also soaked to the bone, but fortunately, officials of the fourth rank or above were inside the hall, so Jiang Xiaoqi and his great-uncle were spared.

However, my brothers-in-law and grandfather were not so lucky. Fortunately, they are all in relatively good health now, otherwise they really wouldn't have been able to withstand this torrential rain.

"Lord Jiang, what should we do? His Highness is in a terrible state..."

"Your Highness is magnanimous and will not be affected by a rainstorm."

"But……"

"There are no buts. The coronation ceremony has begun. Even if it rains heavily, it cannot change the passing of the torch. From today onwards, we have a new master."

"Sigh, is the Imperial Observatory just a bunch of good-for-nothings? They can't even handle this small matter."

Like Qiu Cheng, most of the ministers thought the same thing.

The people from the Imperial Observatory seemed to have been riddled with holes from being scrutinized.

Just as the Crown Prince had calmed down and the rain shelter outside the palace was quickly erected, a voice suddenly rang out outside the palace.

"What new emperor? He's clearly an imposter!"

"How dare you! Who dares to cause such a disturbance here!"

Jiang Wenqing, who had not shown his face for a long time, led several young men from the Jiang family and the county yamen runners, escorting a group of people up.

"Who are you? Today is His Majesty's coronation ceremony, how dare you force your way in!"

An official from the Ministry of Rites spoke up at the opportune moment. In fact, he was quite curious as well. The leader was wearing the official robes of a seventh-rank official, and it was unlikely that he was a fool causing trouble at this time.

But who are you talking about, this fake?

Today's protagonist is His Highness the Crown Prince. After the coronation ceremony, the Crown Prince will have a dot removed and a line added, becoming the Emperor.

If someone steps forward to cause trouble at this time, and has absolutely no support, what's the difference between that and suicide?

"Who are we? We are officials and citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

As for who these bound people are, I think only that so-called Crown Prince knows the answer!

Your Highness, or rather, I should address you as the Fifth Prince!

Do you know the troupe leader of Yunxiang Opera Troupe?!

"Nonsense! Guards, seize these troublemakers!"

"Wait!"

Minister Lin and Minister Tong spoke at the same time.

“Your Highness, the man who came is the magistrate of Tongxian County. He must have some backing or evidence to support his statement. If he has none, Your Highness can punish him later.”

"Relying on someone? Evidence? A mere county magistrate can act so recklessly here. Could it be that he has someone he can rely on behind the scenes?"

Jiang Wenqing pushed out the leader of the Yunxiang Troupe, saying, "You speak, and I'll guarantee your safety."

"Yes, yes, the current Crown Prince is actually the Fifth Prince in disguise."

The real Crown Prince has been placed under house arrest by the Fifth Prince!

These words shocked everyone present, and some even wanted to go up and touch the "Crown Prince's" face.

Is there really some kind of incredible disguise technique?

"Insolence! Where did this scoundrel come from, spouting such nonsense! Guards! Shoot this liar to death with a hail of arrows!"

The archers were confused about the current situation and could only wait for instructions from their superiors.

Before the commander of the Imperial Guards could give the order, someone spoke up to stop him—

"Let's see who dares!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a person stepped out from the crowd following behind Jiang Wenqing.
