In the midst of the long live of the mountain, Anna actually snatched the large crown directly from the hands of Bishop Desiderius, and then put it on the head of Gawain, who sat on the throne with a high armrest, Desiderius was still a little confused, but after Anna and her husband kissed each other, they snatched the small crown and the golden ball cross from the bishop's hand, and then sat on the same high seat next to him.

Behind them, the Praetorian guards blew their horns, erected their iconic battle axes and spears, and announced the official beginning of the enthronement ceremony—the eunuchs and women led Helena and Hristopher in formal clothes up the steps, while the white-clad boy and girl anointed Gawain and Anna's foreheads.

Saffron and mint flowers fluttered everywhere, and Gawain, who had a somewhat cool face, looked at the various crowds below, the sun shining in early spring, the magnificent arcades of the square, the earth-shattering cheers and instrumental music—I couldn't help but feel excited, this world was indeed much better than the original oneself.

At this time, several shouts of "Tyrant Butcher" broke out in the crowd, and several forbidden soldiers grabbed the man, but he was still facing the throne where Gawain and Anna were located, constantly angrily calling out "usurper", "Barbarians are barbarians, beasts as always", "Varyags of your appearance are not welcome in Rome".

Hearing this, Gawain frowned, and he saw that outside the magnificent buildings, the blue clear sky, and the white birds, there were still wisps of black smoke floating in the area of the Grand Palace and the Hippodrome.

It was the diners of St. Paul's Almshouse next to the Acropolis of the Golden Horn, and the Green mob burning buildings, looting goods and erecting a rampart across Metz Street. They had already occupied several districts on the east side of the capital, as well as the Grand Palace, the Hippodrome, the Cathedral of the Holy Age, and the Port of Buclayon. They didn't dare to stop Gawain's inauguration, but Gawain knew in his heart that if he hadn't brought the army, the mob would definitely attack him, and even the pregnant Anna and her child would not hesitate to kill him.

The mob tradition of Constantinople, although it had been devastated by the Nika Rebellion six hundred years ago, had not been broken for so many years, as evidenced by the expulsion of John and the siege of the Venetian trading port, and now they only pointed the finger at Gawain, who destroyed John's barn, plundered and seized a lot of food and goods, and used this to coerce more urban starving people to join them, controlling nearly 30,000 people. And also released the news in advance: if the new emperor transferred rice and grain from Xiaoya and Thrace, they would not only steal, but also rob, and infiltrate and control the relief market.

This is to give Gawain a dismount.

After the coronation, Gawain thanked everyone and announced that only one Red Hand Brigade would be left to pacify the order in the capital, with the Red Hand Cavalry and some artillery, and that the rest of the Brigades, after receiving allowances, would be withdrawn and stationed in Sarabria, across the Golden Horn, and in all parts of the Palazzo Juquintina, without disturbing the inhabitants inside and outside.

In addition, Gawain also proposed such an arrangement:

I don't have a court celebrant, and because my mother-in-law, the Queen Mother, and the wife of the puppet Emperor John, still live in the Brachna Palace, I can't settle in this palace tonight, so I only send a detachment of brigade soldiers in the palace to protect the safety of the two noble women with Ducasse's private soldiers.

At the same time, the Grand Palace has also been idle for a long time, and it is directly on the front line of confrontation with the mob, and it is not convenient to move in.

Eventually, Gawain and Anna retreated to St. John's Church near the Golden Gate and convened a meeting that would really decide the future of the new nation.

In addition to Gawain's confidants, of course, there were also people of different religions such as Desiderius, Roland, and Gottschalke, as well as the new old parties of the empire such as Macaulinus and Berrier.

Surrounded by three and a half walls, everyone is standing here, and there are three central issues in this meeting.

One is the problem of the system of the new country, the other is the problem of the mob that suppressed the imperial capital, and the other is the problem of dealing with the hostile opponents such as Venice, John, and Sicily.

The candle flame and the wall mirrored each other, and Gao Wenbra came up with a whole set of new institutional solutions, which was the crystallization of the collective wisdom of Anna, Little Sunfish, Maglendius and many other connoisseurs.

Gawain announced that the ruling system of the empire would be "retro" from now on, targeting the Macedonian system, dividing all promotion systems into two categories: the inner palace rank and the outer palace rank.

The rank of the inner palace is awarded for eunuchs and female officials, and it is divided into eight ranks, which are uniformly called "court officials of a certain class", such as Hetomia and Little Sunfish are both second-class court officials, while Wen Ruominna is third-class, Eudora is fifth-class, and the fat eunuch Starurachos is the only first-class court official because he has been following Gawain and his wife for a long time, and his merits and qualifications meet the requirements. In addition, the most honorable court officials in the inner palace are still the specially awarded "purple clothes and white hats", of which the purple clothes are women, and the white hats are eunuchs.

The rank of the outer palace is for the vast majority of officials and nobles (including military nobles), and is divided into three levels and fourteen ranks. The first level is the "Venerable" rank, and the highest rank is Caesar, Imperial Mentor, and Venerable Superior, and the three can wear purple robes, scarlet boots, and gold-rimmed jackets; The second level is the "outstanding" grade, which is divided into four grades, namely the great noble, the chief noble, the first noble, and the white-robed noble, who can wear white robes and scarlet boots with different gold edges; The third level is the "Honorist" rank, which is divided into seven ranks, namely the deacon noble, the palace noble, the outer palace noble, the first saber noble, the gold-handled saber noble, the silver-handled saber noble, and the service noble, whose signature costume is a blue cloak and wears a sword with a jewel, gold, and silver handle. These three levels of nobility correspond to different systems, and the main awards of the "court attendant group" that Gawain intends to establish are concentrated in the "honorable", while the ranks of the herdsmen, county magistrates, chariot generals, city consuls, and directors of various departments of the central government are concentrated in the "illustrious"; In the end, only the relatives of the imperial family, the city consuls of the imperial capital, the ministers of the imperial court, and the heads of state of the vassals of the various servants could enter the circle of the "noble".

However, it should be noted that, as was customary in the Macedonian dynasty, these ranks were "titles", which were awarded by Gawain and Anna themselves, and were divided into ranks by medals and decorations, but they were separate from the actual position.

The position, which requires Baselius and Baselisa to personally stamp the "Golden Edict" before it can be granted, also covers all aspects of state administration, justice, education, navy, land and navy, and is responsible for practical and specific affairs.

At this time, Gawain and Anna took the lead in deploying several of the most important official positions.

Giovanni left the original city of Iconium and came to the capital to take up the post of "Supreme Judge of the Holy See".

Beriel continued to serve as "Minister of Justice" and "Mayor of Constantinople" and "Superintendent of the Imperial Capital" (responsible for all trade unions and foreign trade);

Magrundius still recuperating in the spa. Prani was appointed to the confidential position of "Minister of Post";

In addition, Gawain was also preparing to invite Comunen's former retainer Germaninus to serve as "Minister of the Treasury".

However, the old man still said that he wanted to settle near the monastery of Alexios' mother, Daracena, and was unwilling to serve the new dynasty.
