Chapter 903: The Great Canon

Early summer has arrived, and it is lukewarm to wear light clothes. Soon after breakfast, in a spacious courtyard, Lin Xuanzhong and several other people took turns to learn martial arts. Just like in the army, the characteristics of the Eight Desolation Steps are repeatedly shown to others through martial arts competitions, and at the same time learn from others.

With Zhou Wenfeng and Dong Shaozhen teaching, Lin Xuanzhong did not suffer a loss, everything was going in the expected direction, and he practiced until the afternoon, and the people below came to tell the legend that there were distinguished guests visiting, and everyone stopped unsatisfied. For others, Lin Xuanzhong's Eight Desolation Steps had too much to study for them. For Lin Xuanzhong, everyone else has something to learn from. All in all, it's a pleasure.

After changing into formal clothes, when he went to meet the so-called distinguished guest, Lin Xuanzhong was surprised to find that the guests were Lan Feng and Lan Xin, brother and sister. Lan Xin came over with nothing, but Lan Feng's appearance surprised Lin Xuanzhong, and the two had not seen each other for many days. Maybe because it was a difficult time before, when they met again, both of them had a sense of joy reuniting old friends.

Before coming, Lan Feng had already learned from Lan Xin about Lin Xuanzhong's experiences in Yangguo and afterward, so under Lin Xuanzhong's inquiry, Lan Feng and everyone talked about the situation in Qianyiguo recently. It is worth mentioning that before describing the events over there, Lan Feng also apologized to Lin Xuanzhong on behalf of Zhao Xu and others. If it weren't for Zhao Xu's eagerness to let Lin Xuanzhong and others send troops at the beginning, and the inability to provide support in the later stage, Lin Xuanzhong and them would not have fallen into an isolated situation in Yangguo.

When Lin Xuanzhong understood this, Lan Feng officially talked about the various situations that had occurred in the former Wing Country since Lin Xuanzhong left Yicheng. Those endless problems were not taken seriously at first, and they could not be dealt with in a timely manner when the incident occurred, and the Lanyue Kingdom and the Flying Country were still adding chaos to the side, if he wanted to stabilize the rule of the Qianyi Country, Zhao Xu did not send reinforcements at that time.

When Lan Feng explained the difficulties they had encountered in the Qianyi Country, Lin Xuanzhong could understand the reason why Zhao Xu was unable to send reinforcements, but there were some problems in defending the Qianyi Country and sending rescue. If the Wing Country is lost, it can be fought back, but if it loses 60,000 elites, it may still be worth the loss. However, if Zhao Xu had sent reinforcements to force the Gu army and the Yang country to attack the night army before the rain, it would have been another ending now, so according to the results, Zhao Xu did not do anything wrong, and Lin Xuanzhong didn't really want to fight the Yiguo again.

After understanding the reason why Zhao Xu didn't send reinforcements, Lin Xuanzhong also knew something about the surrounding situation of the former wing country. Sure enough, many countries are busy helping the Qingyuan big countries attack those medium-sized principalities, if they stab those small countries in the back at a critical moment, it will definitely make those small countries uncomfortable, and it can also solve the crisis for those medium-sized countries that resist the Qingyuan big countries, which is extremely beneficial to the stability of the situation in the east controlled by the blue country. Thinking of this, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to lead his troops to fight in the east, just to hone the new army. I have to say that Lan Feng's arrival had a great impact on Lin Xuanzhong.

After greeting each other, Lin Xuanzhong held a banquet in the mansion to entertain the two brothers and sisters, and the meals were all provided by the Zuixian Mansion not far from the General's Mansion. Since the news of Lin Xuanzhong's stay in Zuixianlou and Lan Xin's visit to Zuixianlou to find Lin Xuanzhong has spread, the business of Zuixianlou has become more and more popular day by day. In addition, there are many people who came to participate in the ceremony this time, and the guys in the store have almost no time to spare, but fortunately, the Zhou family is not short of manpower. Even if they were busy, the Drunken Immortal Mansion still insisted on providing dinner to Lin Xuanzhong and them, and they didn't charge a penny as before.

However, Zhang Xiaohui often came to visit the door in order to maintain relations with the people in the General's Mansion, but unfortunately Lin Xuanzhong and they would not live in the city for long. Anyway, the meal was quite interesting. During this period, Lin Xuanzhong naturally did not forget to ask Lan Feng about Fang Qing's situation, and finally asked Qing Yi. Lan Feng's answer was that several people had been injured, but they were all fine, and now they were receiving the commendation from above, and there was no chance to come and stay away from them for the time being.

According to Lan Feng's previous account, after stabilizing the situation in the Qianyi Country, Zhao Xu had already divided his troops to crusade against the Moon Country and the Flying Country. If Lin Xuanzhong stayed, he could only lead his troops to fight from Guguo to the southeast. As for the 200,000 troops sent from Xingguo last time, they could only be handed over to the Lei army to deal with.

After sending the two brothers and sisters away, Lin Xuanzhong, who had gained a lot, asked him to send a message to inform Hong Yu to train a large number of secret agents as soon as possible and send them to various parts of the Great Blue Country, no matter where they fought in the future, they would know everything related to the Great Blue Country. The Northern Regions are too big, and the more you know, the better for them.

The matter has been explained, and tomorrow is the day of the ceremony, Lin Xuanzhong needs to find someone to ask what he will do tomorrow first. After learning the general situation from Zhou Wenfeng and Dong Shaozhen, Lin Xuanzhong specially went to ask a colleague whose residence was not far from the general's mansion. In order to avoid any rudeness during the ceremony, Lin Xuanzhong planned to be fully prepared.

Early the next morning, because of the ceremony, the city was still closed, but the streets were full of pedestrians. During the enthronement ceremony, Lan Ce had to tour Kyoto as the new emperor, and the streets he passed through were already filled with Praetorian Guards early in the morning. Behind the Praetorian Guards were the city's citizens, who were afraid that they would run out of places if they were too late, so many of them came early.

At the same time, the palace was also full of people, the ladies were busy all the time, and the ceremonial officials were constantly guiding on the sidelines, just to make sure that nothing went wrong during the ceremony.

In the majestic sound of bells and drums, the ceremony officially began, Lan Ce walked to the front of the Jinluan Hall in a dragon robe, stood in front of the other seven former lords, and looked directly at the ministers below. Under the long steps, on the huge platform stood hundreds of civil and military officials, hundreds of personnel. After the ceremonial officials read out some necessary greetings, the former lords of the Seven Kingdoms crowned Lan Ce one by one. When the ceremonial official announced the end of the enthronement ceremony, the Great Blue Country was officially born, and Lan Ce was the first lord of the Great Blue Kingdom.

Next, according to the requirements of the ceremony, Lan Ce personally delivered a speech for the founding of the country. While commending the merits made by some people for the establishment of the Blue Country, and on the other hand, stating the purpose of the establishment of the Great Blue Country. During the whole process, Lan Ce's majestic words did not stop for a moment, and Lin Xuanzhong listened to the holy will with the surrounding civil and military officials.

When Lan Ce stopped halfway, Lin Xuanzhong already understood what national politics was, and the politics of a country had little to do with individuals, but they were connected with individuals everywhere. It can be said that national politics is born because of people, but it is intended for the country. Compared with the purpose of the existence of national politics, the life and death of an individual are not worth mentioning at all, and Lan Ce's words made Lin Xuanzhong, who was born in a borderless city, understand the meaning of a country's existence in a real sense for the first time.

I thought that I would have to wait patiently for the time to pass during the ceremony, but when Lan Ce spoke, Lin Xuanzhong wished that the ceremony could last longer, so that he could learn more things. After Lan Ce finished talking about the state affairs, he directly began to appoint important members of the imperial court, because the population of the Great Blue Country was large, and the corresponding positions naturally increased.

According to the resumes of the ministers of the previous dynasties provided by various countries, as well as the current needs of the country, Lan Ce appointed some ministers of other countries one by one, and added some important positions in order to show respect for them. Finally, there was an exciting moment, and Lan Ce wanted to reward those who had made great contributions to the establishment of the Great Blue Country in front of the civil and military officials. After mentioning the righteousness of several other lords, Lan Ce directly named Zhao Wu as the king of Zhongwu, and Zhao Xu as the king of loyalty and bravery, and he will be ranked as a prince in the future.

Although Zhao Wu and Zhao Xu were not present, Lan Ce's reward for the two was enviable, not only that, Lan Ce also used several cities as fiefs to reward the Zhao family, such a reward is enough to show the outstanding achievements of the Zhao Wu brothers, as well as Lan Ce's treatment of the two.

Lan Ce not only crowned two kings with different surnames at one time, but also two brothers, this matter is a bit too much in the eyes of many ministers, but it is a great incentive for others who want to make contributions, no one thinks that Lan Ce's reward is inappropriate, but they all think that they can also get such a reward in the future.

When focusing on commending the merits of military generals, the achievements of those civil officials were also not ignored by Lan Ce, after all, it is necessary to settle the inside first, and in the final analysis, the role of those civil officials is equally important. In any case, the position of the left minister was not replaced by other ministers, and after being rewarded one by one, the ceremony finally came to an end.

"Emperor Xie," when everyone present knelt down to Lan Ce to thank him, according to the content of the next ceremony, Lan Ce led his ministers to inspect the imperial capital, and inspected from those prescribed routes, so that the great people of Kyoto could see the dragon's face. By the time he returned to the palace again, it had already been an hour, and the ceremony had finally come to an end.

After returning to the General's Mansion, like the day before yesterday, Lin Xuanzhong's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, because Lan Ce also emphasized Lin Xuanzhong when rewarding the heroes, clearly saying that Lin Xuanzhong helped Cheng Yangguo and the Night Kingdom to form an alliance, and had a great contribution to the capture of Gu Kingdom. Lan Ce's commendation made Lin Xuanzhong sit on the title of tiger general, and the position of the main general was more solid. Although he is inferior to many people in his personal realm, his status has reached the level of the second best commander.

After today's commendation from Lan Ce, in the new big blue country, even Zhang Daring, who had made Lin Xuanzhong awe-inspiring before, could no longer compare to Lin Xuanzhong's status at this time. When he was commended by Lan Ce in public, the envious eyes of officials of all sizes made Lin Xuanzhong feel that his status was so unusual, but unfortunately, the more this was the case, the more Lin Xuanzhong felt that the gap between him and Lan Ce was getting bigger, because identity and glory were given by Lan Ce. If it weren't for Lan Ce, Lin Xuanzhong would not have been able to stand at a height that was beyond the reach of most people.
