0665 Idol of the Empire
The parade ended smoothly, and after receiving the congratulations of the people again, His Majesty the Emperor returned to the main palace.
Because His Majesty Bai Qianye ordered a day of carnival before leaving, Fengdu City turned into a sea of laughter and laughter in the following time, the streets were full of people singing non-stop, and there were all-night dance parties everywhere. Demons, monsters, and humans have all integrated themselves into this sea of joy, and even the rare phoenix and dragon people have become popular objects, trudging among wine glasses and flowers.
The city, which had been partying all night, finally quieted down at dawn. On this exhilarating night, except for those ignorant children, there were very few people who were sleepy in the entire Fengdu City. Of course, people who are drunk on the streets do not count.
Of course, they have reason to be excited and celebrate, because the time is not long, but the consequence is that the catastrophic Fengdu rebellion has finally come to fruition, Bai Qianye's enthronement ceremony is a respite for a difficult life, in the days to come, there will not be so many tears and pain, right? After all, Bai Qianye was appointed by the first emperor, and he is also the emperor that everyone recognizes emotionally, and he did a good job.
Although the rebellion in Fengdu lasted only a few days, the damage caused to Fengdu was catastrophic, and all the buildings were damaged. The area around the palace was even more rubble.
Since the founding of the Great Qin Empire, Fengdu has always been a very safe region. Even when the soldiers came to the city many years ago, the palace did not suffer any losses. This time it's good, the disaster is within the Xiao wall, and the previous blood of the Great Qin royal family, there is not a single left, under Hu Hai's means, except for the queen mother, all the others are dead and injured.
Of all of them, only a few realized that the accession to the throne of His Majesty the Emperor also meant the beginning of another life. In this new life, there are endless troubles and troubles, and those who are in it have to brace up their spirit and face them with all their energy.
Compared to the happy people, their lives were no better than those of the rebellion.
Tens of millions of people living in happiness, their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even every move is a very heavy burden for the empire, but the people will never worry about certain things, in their minds, the so-called national affairs are the things that the empire worries about, and they are the things that Bai Qianye worries about. I don't have to, I don't have to, and I don't have the right to worry about it.
Their Emperor Majesty, however, did not sleep much during the night, for the dance lasted until the early hours of the morning. At the ball, Bai Qianye, as the king of a country, had to try his best to maneuver between those flying dance dresses and elegant dresses, to be amiable, to pay attention to etiquette, and not to show tiredness on his face.
It wasn't until dawn that he could go back to his room for a short rest.
His Majesty the Emperor's enthronement ceremony really excited the people for a while.
But after all, Great Qin is an empire that has just experienced the flames of war, although the result is a victory over the opponent, but whether the war is won or lost, it costs money.
Every copper plate in the treasury has to be used to restore national strength, so except for Fengdu, other provinces do not hold large-scale celebrations, at most the provincial capital holds a celebration parade or something.
Compared with other empires, such as the two super-wealthy empires of the Tang Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty, the small things of the sesame seeds have to be celebrated by the whole world, such a celebration method seems shabby and stingy, but ordinary citizens are very satisfied. Because a series of new decrees issued by the state have begun to be implemented throughout the empire, most of the dozens of decrees are aimed at reducing miscellaneous taxes, which means that from now on, everyone's burden will be much lower.
After all, His Majesty the previous emperor did not have any laws that would help the people recover their lives after the war, so this tax reduction bill is very important.
In such a situation, some other decrees that are not relevant to them for the time being become less important, and for the common people, the affairs of the state are far away from them, and are not necessarily more attractive than the pride of the empire, the private life of His Majesty the Emperor.
In the carnival of these days, the happy life of His Majesty the Emperor used to be the number one hot topic, and the hottest of the hot spots was Mei Niang's various messages, because all the internal affairs orders had three signatures, namely the signatures of the emperor, the prime minister, and Mei Niang.
This so-called position of the Imperial Internal Affairs Supervisor was something that no one had heard of, so I was very curious about what kind of woman could occupy such an important position in the Bai Qianye Imperial Family.
After all, Bai Qianye's announcement before that he was going to get engaged to Ji Xingkong spread all over the continent, and everyone thought that in this case, Ji Xingkong's becoming the queen mother of the Great Qin Empire was basically a sure thing, so who is this Mei Niang?
Not only signatures, but also many laws and regulations that are closely related to the lives of the people were proposed and implemented by the Imperial Overseer of Internal Affairs. In contrast, His Majesty the Emperor only proposed decrees related to military affairs...... These things surprised everyone to find that the royal family is not only the emperor and the prime minister, but there are other very outstanding members of this royal family.
Of course, the emperor and the prime minister have been familiar to everyone for a long time, but the people are not very familiar with this internal affairs overseer, and most of them still stay in the very classical perception that "they are the women next to the emperor". Only now did they know that the overseer of the interior had a lot of power in his hands, and it was not as simple as a vase. Through these decrees that are beneficial to the people's livelihood, Mei Niang's prestige soared rapidly, and they each had a large number of admirers.
In an empire, there is indeed a need for idols to worship, but the style of the people of Great Qin seems to be close to that of their emperor...... Traditionally, portraits of members of the imperial family were hung in every official institution, and the portrait of the overseer, whether it was half of the body or the front side, would be lost in less than three days.
In the end, there was really no way, and the official had to allocate money to print small portraits of royal family members in batches, although not everyone could get it, but it also slightly stopped this style of stealing paintings.
But in any case, these things can also reflect some information from the side, indicating that everyone is optimistic about the future development of the empire.
At the same time, an extremely large number of demons and monsters appeared in cities that were previously inhabited only by humans, including officials, soldiers, craftsmen and merchants. They brought their families all the way from the original gathering place. In some cities, they have taken over the rebel side, and in others, they have built their own houses to form blocks.
