Although there were many people who entered the imperial city, they marched in an orderly manner and did not have any accidents, which made Li Mingzhong and Liao Ziling put down the hearts that they had been carrying. The two of them had also advised Sima Hongyan many times not to let the people enter the inner city, once someone made trouble, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But Sima Hongyan's answer was: "When the king closes the gate, he and the people will always be people of two worlds." The reason why he did not get the respect of the people was because the kings of the past always put on a high posture towards the people. If the king does not respect the people, why should the people respect the king? The common people are people who know how to distinguish between right and wrong, and as long as they are told the rules in advance, they will not easily try to transgress the rules. ”

Unexpectedly, this time it was Sima Hongyan who was right, the people knew how to abide by the rules, and they all gathered under the moon viewing platform smoothly, and nothing unpleasant happened.

Sima Hongyan also ordered people to prepare tea and snacks, after all, everyone had to wait for her to start the ceremony, so the people could not be thirsty and hungry.

No one knows where Sima Hongyan learned this set, but it is really useful. The people gathered early in the morning, and there was still a long time before the ceremony began, but no one complained or was dissatisfied, but they ate and drank and chatted happily.

Li Mingzhong and Liao Ziling glanced at each other and were convinced!

In order to show respect, the ministers insisted on waiting on the viewing platform, and Sima Hongyan was preparing for the stage at this time. A room full of people surrounded her and was busy with her feet facing the sky, frowning Sima Hongyan in annoyance.

Sima Hongyan's original intention was to wear a set of clean clothes and say a few words on stage, but who knew that several sisters and Qinghan opposed it together, saying that such a big thing as the enthronement ceremony could not be a child's play, and the ceremony had been simplified, but the grooming and etiquette vote could not be settled.

Sima Hongyan was still not convinced, and even said that this throne was obtained as if it was a joke, and it didn't matter what clothes he wore at all. Who knew that no one cared about her at all, and the four sisters, plus Nan Xunyan and Qinghan, directly pressed Sima Hongyan, put on makeup, changed clothes, and were very busy.

For Sima Hongyan's ceremony today, Shi Jinyan ordered the embroidery lady in the palace to sew a set of red phoenix clothes for Sima Hongyan overnight, she knew that Sima Hongyan didn't like complicated accessories, so Shi Jinyan really put a lot of effort into this dress.

Qinghan put on makeup once, and Sima Hongyan complained that the makeup was too thick once. Qinghan immediately wiped it and painted it again, but Sima Hongyan still thought that the painting was thick, and he didn't know what to do if he was embarrassed by Qinghan.

In the end, Xiao Hongying pushed Qinghan aside, picked up the rouge gouache, touched it left and right, and finished painting without even having time to drink a cup of tea. Qinghan didn't get anything except a little rouge and a little lip blush. Sima Hongyan looked in the mirror, but even said that this is the best.

Qinghan couldn't understand why the young lady was so casual, Xiao Hongying told Qinghan with a smile: "Sister Hongyan is naturally beautiful, she doesn't paint any makeup, she is also the most beautiful woman in the world." If you paint her too thickly, it will cover up Sister Hongyan's temperament and become vulgar. ”

Sima Hongyan listened on the sidelines, and even praised Xiao Hongying as a confidant, Xiao Hongying actually had the cheekiness to claim that because she was also born with talent, she didn't use powder.

As soon as the hour came, Ban Lingruo and Zhong Liying opened the door of the hall, and under the escort of the female soldiers, the four sisters stood in the four corners and hugged Sima Hongyan towards the viewing platform.

Dressed in red, Sima Hongyan, who had a gorgeous face, walked forward slowly with a smile on his face, his long drag skirt was pulled by four female soldiers, and his graceful and noble temperament was like a fairy descending to earth, and Chang'e was reincarnated.

Everyone in Yanling knows Sima Hongyan's glamorous name, but when they saw Sima Hongyan who appeared in front of them, everyone was still shocked by her peerless appearance. No one spoke, no one made any movements, all of them looked at the Yanling Phoenix Lord floating in with a fascinated expression.

Dazzlingly beautiful, noble, and beautiful, it seems that it is not a mortal in the world.

Under the attention of tens of millions of people, Sima Hongyan stepped onto the viewing platform. As soon as he climbed the two steps, Sima Hongyan suddenly turned around and bowed slightly to everyone, smiling smartly.

The people in the audience immediately applauded and cheered loudly, and many people shouted: "Long live Lord Feng!" The phoenix lord is unmatched! ”

Sima Hongyan mobilized everyone's atmosphere to a peak, in fact, he was creating a star effect for himself, which was both otherworldly and approachable. In the eyes of the hundred officials, they all secretly thought that Sima Hongyan would really buy people's hearts! However, after giving a salute and smiling, he immediately received the shouts and support of the people.

Walking onto the viewing platform and looking at the dense human heads below, Sima Hongyan also felt high-spirited and energetic.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to the people: "I can become the phoenix lord of Yanling today, not because of the destiny of heaven, nor by the order of the sky, let alone by the purple microstar. I am a mortal, just like you. ”

These few words suddenly stunned the people who were still excited, and the faces of the hundred officials behind him also changed greatly, and they didn't know what Sima Hongyan was going to do. Who can be an emperor does not say that he is reincarnated by the stars in the sky and came to the world to save sentient beings, or that he was chosen by God to name him to save the world.

The people have always felt that the person who can be the emperor must be a god and not a man, Sima Hongyan did the opposite, and even said in public that she was as ordinary as everyone else, and they didn't know that she was going to talk the opposite, and there was something else to say, so she raised her head in curiosity and waited for Sima Hongyan's next words.

Hearing the silence of the audience, everyone stared at him, Sima Hongyan paused and continued: "How can there be any immortals in this world? Where is there any true destiny? Who of you has seen it? That's all bluffing. What I want to say is that I am the phoenix master of Yanling, just for you. In order to let everyone live a good life, in order to keep everyone away from war and suffering, in order to let everyone know that the imperial court serves the people of the world. Only when the people live well, can the emperor do it for a long time and sit firmly. So I want to ask you to support me more, help me more, and let me do more good things for the benefit of the people. That's it! ”

The scene was still so quiet, and the people and officials were still in a daze. Sima Hongyan was a little embarrassed, thinking that he had said something wrong.

Suddenly, there was a thunderous and tsunami of applause, including hundreds of civil and military officials, and thousands of people, all applauding Sima Hongyan at the same time.

Although these words were straightforward, Sima Hongyan expressed her sincerity, and she made the people feel that this phoenix lord had walked from the clouds to the ground, and stood beside them, blocking in front of them. She did not come to ask for it from the people, but to give for it. In the past, the emperors said that the people should serve the royal family, but the Phoenix Lord said that she would serve the people.

The priorities are reversed, and the meaning is very different!

The applause lasted for a long time, Sima Hongyan palms up, arms slightly open, and thanked the people. She knew that this was the real voice in the hearts of the people, and this was what the people wanted to hear.

Sima Hongyan stood on the high platform cast by white marble in a red suit, burning like a flame, and the enthusiasm and sincerity she exuded could be felt by everyone present.

Let the worship of all the people be changed by Sima Hongyan to serve the people today, and all the officials feel that this statement is novel, but this description also expresses the true meaning of the hundred officials asking for the people's lives every day. In the past, officials compared themselves to their parents and officials, and they were physically and mentally exhausted for the benefit of the people, but the kings of the past generations thought more about themselves and worried less about the people, and they had empty ambitions, but they could not even stabilize the basic livelihood of the people.

Sima Hongyan's female army is an example, if everyone in Yanling enjoys a peaceful and prosperous world, there will be no disasters and no famine, where will there be displaced people? Where will there be a rebellion? Where will there be refugees fleeing for their lives?

As for the luxurious life in the palace, a group of wine bags and rice bags fed by the blood and sweat of the common people, except for nest fighting and endless profligacy, they actually did nothing useful. Sima Hongyan, a person who came through time, lacks historical knowledge, but he still understands these truths.

When the applause and cheers of the people were a little smaller, Sima Hongyan said again: "I will formulate a few rules with you first, and I hope you will abide by them on weekdays!" ”

When the people heard this, they were like, "Oh! What you just said sounds good, and now you're going to set rules for us?

Sima Hongyan said loudly: "First, in the future, Yanling will revoke the ceremony of kneeling and bowing, no matter whether they see the official or the emperor, the people don't need to worship again, they just need to bow their hands and salute." If you have to kneel, go home and kneel to your ancestors and parents. ”

It's a miracle every year, not as many as today. The etiquette of kneeling when seeing officials for thousands of years made Sima Hongyan withdraw as a joke.

The scene was once again shocked by thunderous applause, even more intense than the previous one.

After a long time, Sima Hongyan said: "Second, in the future, the tax system will be openly legislated, and the imperial court will only collect the necessary money and grain, and the tax will be posted in various government offices. If there are officials who privately open miscellaneous taxes and disturb the place, once it is verified, there will be a solution, kill! ”

Another wave of more intense cheers resounded through the capital.

Sima Hongyan finally waited for everyone's mood to calm down a little before he said: "Third, the imperial court will open the academy widely, so that all the people can go to school and learn knowledge, and there will be no fees. Moreover, the imperial court will re-open a new examination system, and recruit more practical talents for the country, as long as they are people who are sincere to the people, they can enter the court as officials if they have real skills, and from then on, the hereditary will be completely abolished, and the opportunity will be left to those who have the ability. Today, if there are three things to do, if the court makes a decision in the future, it will be informed. That's all I have to say today! ”

The people are going crazy, and three blockbuster news in a row are about to make the people crazy. The first thing is to give dignity to the people, the second thing is to adjust the messy taxes for the people, and the third thing is to start education for all.

These three things have swept away the depression in the hearts of the people for many years, if Yanling can really do this, then the people dare not imagine what happiness will become.

Seeing that the three most ordinary things actually brought so much excitement to the people, it can be seen that the irrationality of the feudal imperial system and the harm of hegemonic rule. Sima Hongyan understands that if you want to fight outside, you must first settle inside, and if the people's affairs are not resolved, the affairs of the external enemy will not be resolved. As long as she is given a year to adjust, she is absolutely confident that she will make Yanling turn over and change greatly.

In the support of the people, Sima Hongyan stepped down, waved to the people while smiling, and slowly walked back to his harem, and there were officials outside who arranged for the people to leave.

As soon as he entered the room, Sima Hongyan collapsed into the chair like a deflated ball, crying out thirsty.

Qinghan hurriedly brought the dried water over, and the sisters looked at her lazy appearance, how could she still look like the queen of a country who gave an impassioned speech just now?
