Although there are certainly people who support themselves, their prestige among the people stinks, and without perfect prestige, they cannot recruit outstanding talents, and without excellent talents, they cannot maintain strong blood to unify the country. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Since this is the case, then there is only one way to be the emperor at the same time as the eldest brother, alas, the entire empire believes that there will be at least four or five emperors, right?

When the atmosphere of the camp tent was a little distressed, the voice of the guards came from outside the tent door: "Your Highness, the messenger of the prairie has entered the customs." ”

The fourth prince, who was still distressed when he heard the voice, got up and said, "Well, you put away the joy on your face, and wait for the performance to be better." ”

"Yes."

Weiss and Qin Na immediately restrained their smiles, put on a dead face and followed the four princes out of the camp gate.

The bell of the new year made the people of the imperial capital can't help but cheer, they are cheering for the arrival of the new year, and the other is to cheer that they can have the honor of witnessing the ceremony of a new emperor's enthronement, such a ceremony has no age of decades, so don't want to see the next time.

At this moment, the people crowded on both sides of the main road of the imperial capital, while waiting for the ceremony to begin, listened to those elderly people tell how majestic and extravagant the last ceremony was, and carefully remembered one or two details, ready to blow it with others in the future.

A loud horn sounded, and then an inaudible shout called a few words, and the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the central gate of the imperial capital. The crowd at the gate immediately cheered, and saw a whole group of pure white war horses lining up and slowly approaching with horse steps.

The white horses were all draped in gilded saddles, the halters were actually inlaid with gold, the white gold-inlaid armor of the cavalry on horseback was matched with a snow-white trench coat, each cavalry helmet had a fiery red feather, and each soldier held a banner on which was either the imperial coat of arms or the royal coat of arms.

After the cavalry of this one wing, there is a brigade of heavy cavalry, followed by two brigades of light cavalry, two brigades of archers, and finally a dense brigade of heavy armor, light armor, sword soldiers, engineers and other types of infantry that appear in brigades and regiments. It can be said that for this ceremony, more than one regiment was dispatched, and the honor guards dressed up in fancy branches boasted of martial arts on the main road of the imperial capital.

On the tower of the main gate of the imperial city, the crown prince, who was still dressed as a prince at the moment, was flushed with excitement, looking at these ceremonial soldiers who would eventually all assemble in the imperial city square, and he was about to ascend to the supreme position and become the master of this empire; The thought that everything in this empire was about to exist according to his own will, his heart trembled, and he longed for the enthronement ceremony to be carried out immediately. When the marching soldiers poured into the imperial city of Guangcheng, the chief eunuch leaned forward and whispered: "Master, the hour has come, it's time to change into a dress." ”

Although the crown prince, who had long been anxious, wanted to run away, he still couldn't leave with a tense face. A legionary soldier gathered neatly and silently in the Imperial City Square, and the chartered people also crowded in to stay around the legion.

The gate of the imperial city was opened, and from any corner of the square, you could see the huge golden throne inside the main hall gate. The road that stretched from the throne to the gates of the imperial city was lined with heavily armed Praetorian Guards and thousands of officials lined up on the left and right.

A muffled trumpet sounded, and thousands of palace ladies and eunuchs, holding and holding all kinds of strange royal honor items, slowly came along the avenue, and inserted themselves into the gaps of the Praetorian Guards as they went.

After these palace eunuchs stood still, a group of fierce and unusual big men with tigers on their backs, wearing gorgeous military uniforms and sharp knives at their waists, opened the road in front of them with great vigilance, and a group of same big men were guarding behind, and the one walking alone in the middle was the crown prince who had changed into a new emperor's uniform, but did not wear an official hat. Ryle Hart.

Looking at the emperor's throne that was getting closer and closer, and looking at the ministers and soldiers standing respectfully and solemnly around him, the crown prince couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If it weren't for the events of that night in the imperial capital, a helpless crown prince like himself might not even be able to obtain the position of prince, how could he possibly obtain such prestige? Now that I have not yet ascended the throne, I feel the fear of the world, and what kind of feeling is it when I become the emperor!

Under the guidance of the chief eunuch, the crown prince stood in front of the throne and faced the ministers. Being watched by so many people, the crown prince was not uncomfortable, but felt that his chest was filled with a sense of pride, and for the first time, he looked at the officials who were qualified to stay in the main hall with a proud look. Especially when he saw the marshal and the prime minister, the crown prince couldn't help but feel complacent, you two old guys, wait a moment and bow down to me!

The chief eunuch took out a holy decree, stood at the door of the main hall and shouted loudly with his throat open, and the content of what he said was nothing more than adhering to the will of God, inheriting the will of the ancestors, and the prince and the emperor legitimately inheriting the throne and becoming the new master of the empire. A large number of eunuchs who were equivalent to microphones spread the words of the chief eunuch throughout the imperial city, and the microphones placed outside the imperial city spread these words throughout the imperial capital.

"Please crown Your Highness." After reading the edict, the chief eunuch turned around and knelt down to the crown prince, and the two eunuchs who had long been holding the emperor's crown and a luxurious sword on the side immediately stepped forward, although the crown prince couldn't wait to be on the throne, but he still put on an indifferent look and slowly walked to the throne and turned around to stand, the prime minister and the marshal looked at each other and smiled, sorted out their clothes and walked out of the queue to the crown prince.

When the crown prince saw this scene, although he wanted to put on the crown and put on the sword himself, this was tantamount to slapping the prime minister and the marshal in front of the world and spitting in their faces, and a calm person would not bear this kind of insult, and most importantly, once such an unruly thing was done, I am afraid that the legitimacy of his emperor would also be questioned.

The prime minister took the crown from the eunuch and put it on the crown prince, and then the marshal took the sword from the eunuch and put it on the crown prince, and then the crown prince turned around and grabbed a fist-sized seal from the chief eunuch, and finally the crown prince pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword, and the other hand grasped the seal, scanning the ministers with a Ling Ran look.

The chief eunuch opened his voice and shouted, "The new emperor is on the throne!" Subjects bow down! ”

Under the leadership of the prime minister and the marshal, the ministers of civil and military affairs, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and countless people outside all knelt on their knees and kowtowed and shouted: "Meet my emperor!" My emperor is blessed and long-lived! The crown prince couldn't hold back any longer, and a feeling of supremacy in the world suddenly came, from head to toe, and back and forth from foot to head several times.

He has finally become an emperor, and he has finally become the master of this empire!

The crown prince forcibly calmed down, handed the seal and sword to the eunuch, sat on the throne, and said in a kind of arrogant and indifferent tone that was unique to the superiors: "You love to be flat. ”

Seeing these ministers standing respectfully on both sides of the hall, the crown prince was very complacent, and began to say the declaration of his enthronement that he had been preparing for a long time in a somewhat fluttery tone, and when the crown prince finished speaking, the ministers swore their loyalty one after another.

Ignoring the rags that were happening in the palace hall, the eunuchs outside, the soldiers who participated in the ceremony, and the onlookers all received a gift divided according to their status, and then happily went to watch the performance of the celebration, for ordinary people, today is a festive festival.

However, for others, especially the high-ranking officials and dignitaries who relied on the new dynasty for food, it was an extremely mentally and physically exhausting day. Why? In addition to scrambling to rack their brains to sing praises and show loyalty to the new emperor, they began to busily receive guests sent from all over the country to give gifts.

Wouldn't it be too humiliating for the minister to be reduced to a waiter? Absolutely not, now the sphere of influence of the imperial capital is so large, I wish I could take the opportunity of the new emperor to ascend the throne to spread the prestige of the imperial capital all over the world, and the more congratulatory gifts from foreign forces, the more powerful the imperial capital is, which is related to the reputation of the power in which he is located, and of course he has to do his best as a powerful person in the power.

"Your Majesty, the governor of a county in the northeast gave a congratulatory gift of 3,000 gold coins, congratulations to His Majesty on his accession to the throne, and a certain merchant group of the Freedom Alliance gave a congratulatory gift of 10,000 gold coins, congratulations to His Majesty on his accession to the throne, and a certain merchant group ......"

One by one, the ministers reported the list of gifts and givers to the crown prince, and although the number of gifts and greetings exceeded thousands, and the total amount of gifts given was almost millions of gold coins, it was a pity that the crown prince did not feel that there was anything to be happy about.

Because among these people who worshipped, there were less than a hundred imperial magnates, and they were all too small magnates, and more than half of them came to him because of the relationship between the prime minister and the marshal, and only a few dozen of them were really drawn to serve by themselves.

The rest of the nearly 1,000 are businessmen who have come to woo their connections, and most of them are foreign businessmen! Although there were several officials who knew that they were sent by other countries, they insisted that they were businessmen, and this time they came to congratulate them for the sake of the trade route. This shows that none of these neighboring countries is optimistic about themselves!

This is not a trouble, anyway, as long as they become strong, these foreign forces have to recognize their status even if they do not recognize it. What annoyed the crown prince the most was that among so many people who paid homage, although there were more than a dozen warlords who had real power, these warlords were remarkable in occupying one or two counties and counties, with thousands to more than 10,000 troops, but there was not a single real big warlord!
