Wu Xingquan abdicated, and Wu Haoxuan succeeded to the throne as emperor, which did not cause any turmoil in the entire empire. As far as the military and political field of the empire is concerned, many people know that the empire can have today entirely because of Wu Haoxuan. Wu Xingquan's greatest contribution is probably to have Wu Haoxuan's son. If it weren't for Wu Haoxuan, the empire wouldn't have the current results. In the minds of many high-ranking military and political officials, Wu Haoxuan should have ascended the throne and become emperor a long time ago. Even, after the establishment of the empire, making Wu Xingquan the emperor was completely redundant. Otherwise, there would be no such thing. They also believed that the empire could become stronger under the leadership of Wu Haoxuan.

The broad masses of the Empire, although they do not know the truth of the matter. However, for them, it was only right for them that the emperor abdicated and the crown prince succeeded to the throne. The current people of the empire are still generally able to accept the world. After all, this is how it has been for more than 2,000 years. Everyone has long been accustomed to having an emperor to rule over them. As long as the empire can become stronger and stronger, and everyone's life can get better and better, they will support it.

In addition, when the imperial media is propagating, they often take Wu Xingquan and Wu Haoxuan as the targets of propaganda. Even to some extent, there are more times to promote Wu Haoxuan than to choose Wu Xingquan. This makes the people think that Wu Haoxuan's succession to the throne is justified. In fact, it is exactly what it is.

On the contrary, the international reaction to this matter has been relatively large. The Western world has long regarded the Chinese Empire as a great enemy. Even Germany, which is friendly with China, is only a temporary last resort. In fact, they are still secretly wary of China. If China becomes stronger, it will also pose a threat to them. Once Germany wins this war, then they will inevitably contain China. As for Britain, France, and the United States. It has long been a long time ago to directly contain China. Although, they have long known that Wu Haoxuan is actually the master of this country. It's just that Wu Haoxuan doesn't have the title of emperor. Now, Wu Haoxuan has gone directly to the front desk.

In order to create trouble for China, the intelligence officers of Britain, France and the United States. and Japanese intelligence officers, who began to wantonly claim in China that Wu Haoxuan's ascension to the throne this time was completely a plan to usurp the throne, what kind of change of throne, full of blood and the like, and there were even rumors that Wu Xingquan had been killed by Wu Haoxuan.

It's just that the Reich's Military Intelligence and Security Directorate have long been prepared. As soon as the intelligence officers of Japan, Britain, France, the United States and other countries acted, they took action. It is very important to search for a number of intelligence officers from various countries. As a result, the intelligence agencies of various countries in China have been dealt a heavy blow.

Although, the intelligence personnel of various countries are like weeds, and they can't be burned out. But most of the intelligence agents have been arrested, and the rest of them are no longer in the mood. In addition, the imperial government has mastered the mainstream media, and those intelligence officers cannot make any big waves in terms of public opinion. The Empire can hold them down.

For this enthronement, Wu Haoxuan looked very bland. As a matter of fact. He is already the master of this empire. What is lacking is nothing more than the title of emperor. Even if you don't ascend the throne. He still controls the entire empire. Of course, if he becomes the emperor, he will govern more justly, and he will not have to worry about any repercussions.

"Your Highness, everything is taken care of." Li Yanling came to Wu Haoxuan's side and whispered to him.

"Hmm." Wu Haoxuan nodded. Didn't ask too much. He cares about the outcome, not the pass. He believes that Li Yanling will take care of everything.

In fact, it is exactly what it is. Li Yanling ordered someone to take He Guifei's life with a glass of poisoned wine. As for the little prince, he was still sent away. The Security Bureau found an honest peasant and raised the little prince. Of course, this peasant couple did not know the true identity of the little prince. It's just that they have never had a son, so if someone gives them a son, they are very happy, and naturally they don't care about the others. Of course, the Security Bureau will also send special personnel to protect the growth of the little prince and ensure that he will not be affected by other factors.

As for the He family, a big salt merchant in Su Province, they have also been secretly suppressed and will soon decline. After a few years, no one remembered that they were once relatives of the imperial family.

"Your Highness, in the process of investigating this matter, we found that there were Japanese involved. Japan's intelligence agencies have provided them with a lot of convenience and support. Li Yanling said.

"I know that little Japan is indispensable in this. They will not miss a single opportunity to strike at the Empire. Wu Haoxuan said. Now, the empire and Japan have become mortal enemies, and both countries will do their best to defeat the other. There are not only military means, but also economic means. These indiscriminate methods that cannot see the light in the shadows will also be unfolded. The Empire's * Military Intelligence Bureau and the Security Bureau teamed up for Wu Haoxuan and other dignitaries of the Empire to resist many assassinations from the shadows.

Of course, little Japan was also afraid that the empire would use this as an excuse to take advantage of the opportunity to wage war against them, so it reined in a little. The Japanese government also knows that they do not have the strength to confront the empire at all. At least until the 'Kongo-class' battlecruisers are commissioned, they will not have the capital to fight against the Empire.

Wu Haoxuan's enthronement ceremony was placed on September 18. He has always been a dislike of troublesome people, so he asked for the enthronement ceremony this time to be just as simple. Like Wu Xingquan, he went to the Temple of Heaven to worship the heavens and accepted the worship of civil and military officials and the people. However, in order to demonstrate the strength of the Empire, after the worship ceremony, the Empire will hold a grand military parade in the square in front of the Forbidden City Tower. The Imperial Army's various army groups, the Navy's Marine Corps, and the Navy's surface ship units will send their formations to participate in the parade.

The military parade was undoubtedly a novelty for the Empire. Since the founding of the Empire, despite its successive victories in foreign wars, it has never held a military parade. There was only one month to prepare, and it was very urgent for the Imperial Army and Navy. But the officers and men still threw themselves into the first military parade held by the Reich with full enthusiasm. This will undoubtedly be a grand military parade that will go down in history.

The time soon came to the day of September 18th, Wu Haoxuan, who was dressed in military uniform, wore a brand-new military uniform without military rank, and led the civil and military officials, their wives and children to participate in the ceremony of worshipping the sky. The palace guards escorted the convoy to the Temple of Heaven, and the hundred officials knelt under the altar. Wu Haoxuan burned incense to worship the heavens and prayed to the heavens, after he became the emperor of the empire, he would lead the empire to become strong and the nation would achieve rejuvenation.

Yang Du, the prime minister of the empire, read out a long memorial message. The memorial text is very long, and it is all piled up with flowery rhetoric. It is nothing more than singing praises for Wu Haoxuan's achievements.

After receiving the bows of the officials and the people, the ceremony of worshipping the heavens is completed. Wu Haoxuan officially became the emperor. Ma Jiahui was named the queen, and Li Yanling was named the imperial concubine. His son Wu Pengfei was named the crown prince by Wu Haoxuan, and other princes and princesses also received other rewards.

After the ceremony, everyone went to the gate tower of the Forbidden City. At this moment, the square outside the city gate tower was already crowded with people. After the news was released that the empire would hold a grand military parade, people from all over the country rushed to Yanjing to watch the parade. Envoys and military attaches of various countries in China paid special attention to this military parade. Through this military parade, we can understand the military strength of the Chinese Empire to a certain extent.

The commander-in-chief of the parade was Marshal Shi Deshan, and at 10 o'clock in the morning, after asking Wu Haoxuan for instructions, the parade officially began. The first to pass through the gate tower of the Forbidden City was the phalanx formed by the Imperial Guard, and when the troops under review appeared in a neat pace, the whole audience was boiling.

Modern military parades are mostly borrowed from the goose steps pioneered in the Napoleonic era. It's just that the size of the Easterners is a little shorter than the Westerners, so Wu Haoxuan has simplified it to make it more appropriate for the soldiers to take every step. From an outsider's point of view, the phalanx composed of the imperial troops under review is naturally mighty and majestic.

After the phalanx formed by the Praetorian Guard passed, it was formed by the remaining fourteen army groups of the army, each of which was two hundred men. When each phalanx passed by the gate tower of the Forbidden City, it would shout Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Empire! And the emperor Wu Haoxuan will respond: The soldiers have worked hard.

After the army phalanx walked over, there were two phalanxes consisting of marines and naval surface ship units. The white sailor's uniform, coupled with the neat pace, is refreshing.

After the replenishment phalanx, it was the cavalry phalanx. More than 200 elite cavalry members of the imperial cavalry rode through the gate tower of the Forbidden City. The pace of the war horses is completely the same, and the people and horses are one.

After the cavalry phalanx, there was the artillery phalanx. The latest 75mm field guns, 105mm light howitzers, 155mm heavy howitzers, 210mm heavy rapid-fire cannons, 240mm heavy cannons, 280mm heavy howitzers and much more.

These mighty and majestic cannons passed through the gate tower of the Forbidden City in turn, making the whole military parade enter a climax. In this day and age, artillery is still the god of war. The Imperial Army was armed with such large-caliber cannons, which undoubtedly showed the strength of the Imperial Army. Countless people were cheering, and everyone was rejoicing in the strength of the empire. The nation's self-esteem and self-confidence have been raised to an unprecedented level.
