The third day of March

In the north of the year, it is advisable to pray for blessings and sacrifices.

Mao time, auspicious gods: heavenly forgiveness, Liuhe, eternal life.

The main gate of the royal castle was heavily guarded by the Ouchi Guards with distinct armor.

In the Zhenghe Hall in the north of Yunlong Palace, the chief scholar, five cabinets, six scholars, and hundreds of civil and military officials stood solemnly on the square.

The auspicious time has arrived, and Yan Sixian, the chief university scholar, holding the scroll of the edict in his hand, climbed the stairs and came to the front of the main hall, in front of Zuo Yuanyi.

Zuo Yuanyi stood solemnly under the plaque at the palace gate, wearing a purple gold dragon robe, holding a wide long sword in his hand, his face was angular, and his eyes were shining, showing the true colors of the emperor.

Seeing the scholar step forward, Zuo Yuanyi respectfully knelt on one knee and fell to the ground.

Yan Sixian turned around, faced the civil and military officials in the square, opened the edict, and read it out loud.

After reading the edict, Yan Sixian stepped aside.

Master Xuanguang, the abbot of Cifu Temple, Baoxiang solemnly stepped forward and sprinkled a handful of emery symbolizing justice and brilliance at Zuo Yuanyi's feet.

The former king, who had long since abdicated, stepped forward calmly and personally placed the jade seal symbolizing imperial power in Zuo Yuanyi's hand.

At this point, Confucian orthodoxy recognized, Buddhism blessed Baoguang, and the imperial power was officially Zen.

Courtesy.

On the square, the civil and military Baiguan Mountain shouted long live.

Immediately, the entire Cloud Dragon City resounded with a cheer of "Long live".

The musicians of Yuefu played drums in unison, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites flashed out from among the officials and began to chant lengthy greetings.

When he finished chanting, he personally held a ruyi symbolizing "rites", climbed the steps, and knelt down to offer it to His Majesty.

Tobe Shangshu also climbed the steps and knelt down in front of the main hall to present a copy of the family register to His Majesty the King.

The Ministry of Industry presented a "Code of Work", the Ministry of Criminal Affairs presented a "Code of Justice", and the Ministry of War presented a "Code of Arms".

At this point, the six ministries of the cabinet have all the authority in the hands of the king.

After the six Shangshu retreated, the civil and military officials bowed again, and the mountain shouted long live.

In front of the Zhenghe Palace, Rao is Zuo Yuanyi has gone through several rehearsals before, and he is still excited at this time, and he can't help himself.

He held the Yunlong Sword in his hand, condescendingly, looking at the hundred officials kneeling in the square, as well as countless forbidden soldiers, he was angry and said loudly: "The widow ......"

Amnesty to the world, the promotion of officials, the policy of benefiting the people, one after another government decrees came out of Zuo Yuanyi's mouth, and then passed on by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and it spread throughout the city in a moment.

Yunlong City once again sounded the sound of the mountain shouting long live.

After announcing to the world, the newly enthroned king Zuo Yuanyi led hundreds of officials to worship the Temple of Heaven, and after that, there were various solemn and formal rituals.

It was not until noon that the enthronement ceremony was announced, and the king Zuo Yuanyi led hundreds of civil and military officials to return to the Zhenghe Hall to accept the letters of state from the envoys of various countries, as well as the worship of the distinguished guests.

At this point, the enthronement ceremony came to an end.

In the evening, His Majesty the King returned to the Yunlong Palace and held a banquet to entertain hundreds of officials, foreign envoys, and invited dignitaries.

The huge square of the palace, down the steps, is divided into five different levels of areas, each area is neatly placed with small wooden tables, the further down the bottom, the more small wooden tables are placed, densely packed.

Officials above the fifth rank sat down in front of the wooden table according to their ranks, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

In the hall at the end of the steps, King Zuo Yuanyi had already changed into his regular clothes and sat alone in the center.

On either side of him were the imperial relatives, the scholars of the Bachelor's Court, the elites of the imperial court, and later the seats of envoys and dignitaries of various countries.

A steady stream of fine wine and delicacies was sent up, filling countless banquet tables.

On the VIP seat, Ye Changsheng was dressed in white and sat leisurely, as if he didn't sense the unkind gaze cast around him.

Well, there are the King of the North Sea, a prince of the Principality of the Heavenly Wind, King Tuafa and King Kong of the Mastiff, and the two princes of the Imperial Family of the Glory Federation.

As for the others, Ye Changsheng didn't know much about them and wasn't interested.

Come to think of it, he is qualified to sit in the main hall to participate in the dinner, and he is so honored and favored, and even overwhelms many first-class officials in the dynasty, which will attract some jealousy.

But it was none of his business, His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had asked him to sit here.

Of course, there were more curious glances thrown at him, and many of them were kind, such as the envoy of the Divine Eagle Principality, the envoy of the Su Clan, and the envoys of the other two principalities.

Zuo Yuanyi, the king on the main seat, took the lead in getting up, took a glass of wine and drank it all, opening the prelude to the night banquet.

At the center of the banquet in the main hall was a square, and after the dancing girls stepped back, everyone nodded and smiled and applauded implicitly.

The twelve-year-old Crown Prince, Zuo Ciyun, stood up, saluted a full glass of wine to his father, and drank it all.

His little face wiped a flush, and he smiled at Zuo Yuanyi and said, "Father, my Yunlong Principality advocates martial arts, and now that I have the help of the sound of beauty, how can I not have the voice of Jin Ge Iron Horse?"

Zuo Yuanyi smiled heartily: "Ciyun, if you have any ideas, don't hide them." ”

Zuo Ciyun nodded hurriedly, stretched out his hands, and patted lightly twice.

Outside the main hall, a tall warrior strode in, came to the center of the square, and knelt on one knee on the ground: "Vice President of the Great Inner Praetorian Guard, Tian Dali, see Your Majesty!"

Zuo Yuanyi smiled and said, "Flat." ”

Zuo Ciyun stepped forward and said loudly: "Father, Commander Tian is here to congratulate you on behalf of the Praetorian Guard today. ”

Tian Dali stood up, clenched his fists and said, "The last general is bold!"

After that, he looked at the VIP seat, his eyes locked on the body of the Meng Mastiff, and said proudly: "I have heard the name of the Eight Great King Kongs of the Huoyun Temple for a long time, and today I congratulate Your Majesty, Venerable Meng Mastiff, can you teach you a lesson or two?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall showed surprise, but at the same time they looked at Ye Changsheng.

Even King Tuo Fa looked at Ye Changsheng with an unkind gaze.

Ye Changsheng had to smile helplessly, he didn't know about this matter.

Although the battle between him and the mastiff is very low-key, and not many people know about it, at least in this hall, most people know about it.

Today, the prince arranged such a play, naming the mastiff by name, no matter how you look at it, it seems that he is helping Ye Changsheng.

Tian Dali is also a master of the Supreme Realm, and his strength should not be underestimated, but there is a high probability that he is not the opponent of the Mastiff.

Although he won't hurt the mastiff, he can force out the mastiff's martial arts and tricks to some extent.

This was looked at by Ye Changsheng, who was watching from the sidelines, and he was bound to come up with countermeasures in advance, so as to take the lead in the duel between the two in a few days.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made such a big detour, probably for this purpose, and in this play, everyone even suspected that His Majesty the King himself might have known in advance.

Meng Mastiff is not stupid, looking at Tian Dali who challenged him, his face was slightly gloomy.

When he saw the King nodding slightly to him, the mastiff understood, stood up with his tall body, and strode towards the square in the center of the banquet.
