Chapter 456: Aftermath
Keep updating~
===========================================================================
After the Hai tribe in the southeast was willing to negotiate peace, and the great aristocratic group in the northwest was eliminated, the rebellion of the Xili Empire was alleviated, and the Ke Xili side finally revealed the news of His Majesty's "death" to the outside world, and it was logical to bury the body of Emperor Picca. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info that's not all, the news that came immediately after was that Princess Bilika inherited the throne and was about to start the enthronement ceremony in the palace.
As a result, the eyes of the entire continent turned to the small continent in the southwest at this time. People from all walks of life have sent personnel to the Xili Empire to participate in the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, in order to obtain more up-to-date information.
The decision to succeed to the throne was the result of deliberation and research by a group of ministers and generals, including Chito Isuzu and Estelle. Sento Isuzu came from a famous family, and Estelle became famous in the fight for the counterinsurgency war, and both supported Bilica's ascension to the position of emperor, not to mention that Emperor Picaca had hinted during his lifetime that once he died, the throne would be succeeded by Bilica. Moreover, many officials and nobles also supported Princess Bilica's ascension to the throne, and the mild-mannered Bilica was obviously more popular than Picaca who implemented thunderous methods.
Therefore, even if some people in the group of ministers have other ideas, they can only remain silent in the face of the "general trend".
Thus, after the work of the empire gradually returned to normal, the ceremony of Bilika's accession to the throne began as scheduled. Through the succession ceremony, the new emperor of the Xili Empire was officially established, which should be said to be a powerful stabilizer for the subjects in the country, calming the uneasy emotions of the majority of the people.
The ceremony was attended by people from all walks of life.
In this enthronement ceremony, although outsiders participated, the main participants were members of the domestic aristocracy, large and small. Since the great aristocratic forces led by Duke Genk have been forcefully cut off in the counterinsurgency war, there are few nobles left who can pose a threat to the royal family among the nobles who came to participate in the enthronement ceremony.
It can be said that although Emperor Picaca died due to an "accident", due to the defeat of the big aristocratic group, the situation faced by Bilica after ascending the throne was much safer than before.
In this way, Estelle, who shined in the war and at the same time urged Bilica to succeed to the throne, naturally became the biggest focus of the enthronement ceremony.
It can be said that on the day of the enthronement ceremony, Estelle at the palace venue became a de facto highly sought-after figure. People from all over the continent flocked to the girl, hoping to dig out more useful information from her. What's more, whether it is light or dark, or blunt or implied, on behalf of the forces behind him, he threw an olive branch to an emerging powerhouse like a girl.
Faced with these problems, Estelle, who had already experienced a hundred battles, of course kept her mouth shut, one "for the princess I admire", and then "for the country I love", directly shaping herself into a patriotic warrior who is wholeheartedly loyal to the new emperor.
Such an obvious statement has already shown that it is impossible to recruit girls, and many people from the mainland all sighed secretly, feeling in their hearts that although the Xili Empire has lost the eloquent Emperor Picca and the sage who disappeared outside, there is this powerful Estelle, and it is still difficult to shake this empire.
In contrast, the domestic aristocrats present treated Estelle, a "hero", with all kinds of complex emotions.
Seeing that Estelle could not be recruited, Ji Ya, who helped the empire communicate with the sea clan, became the second "favorite" to be surrounded at the venue. Compared with Estell, who is already "famous", Ji Ya is not a child of the Ciri Empire, and graduated from Reles Academy, so the probability of success in recruiting should be relatively high.
In addition, the latest information shows that Ji Yawan refused the territorial reward given to her by the Xili Empire, and only accepted the honorary title of "Imperial Duke". The territory of the reward was distributed from the newly eliminated nobles, and once accepted, Himea herself was immediately promoted to a powerful nobleman in the empire. The underlying meaning is obvious, which is to let Ji Ya join the Ciri Empire, and Ji Ya refuses in a tactful way.
After all, Kia had already made it clear that she wanted to return to the Kingdom of England. However, when she approached and talked with representatives of various power groups, she did not answer openly, but only slurred the past with a smile, leaving them with a beautiful suspense.
Bilica herself is not the focus of attention, because anyone in their right mind knows that the succession to the throne is not the result of Her Royal Highness's own ability, but the result of negotiations between the political forces of the various parties in the empire. Among them, the words of Chito Isuzu and Estelle are particularly important.
This can be guessed from the fact that when Bilica accepted the crown ceremony to succeed to the throne, Chito Isuzu and Estelle were on the left and right. The fact that Kia and Gnivevier are in the front row also speaks to their status.
Lucia of the Seven Seas lived alone in the ritual procedure as a representative of the Sea Clan, a sign of respect for the Sea Clan on the part of the Empire. Many people have also speculated that after the Xili Empire succeeds to the throne by Bilika, it will negotiate with the Sea Clan, and the hostile relationship between the two sides for many years may be broken and re-friendly. Once established, this will be a major diplomatic event that will affect the situation in the small continent.
As for the remaining Wang Xiaoming, because the whole incident was purely "playing soy sauce", he could only be at the bottom of the seat.
Here, however, he was once again "lucky" to bump into Earl Drion.
"Lord Earl, we are really fated to meet again. β
"Yes, yes......"
In the face of Wang Xiaoming's enthusiastic attitude, Count Drion looked bitter and hateful.
After the raid on Ke Ke Xili, because Count Drion led his guards to the capital as soon as possible, he was allowed to participate in the succession ceremony of Princess Bilika, which was originally something worthy of his joy, which meant that his "choice" was noticed, but after meeting Wang Xiaoming, his happy mood was suddenly struck.
Therefore, during the entire ceremonial procedure, Count Drion kept his eyes on the venue and ignored Wang Xiaoming next to him.
Wang Xiaoming didn't care about this, after all, his "mission" in the Xili Empire had been accomplished, and after the enthronement ceremony of Bilika, he was going to start preparing for the next link.
Now, with the seal of the Cili Empire in his hands, and the loss of the two leaders of Emperor Picca and Lather Ward, the status of the mainland will slowly decline in the future, and shrink to a small continent. Basically, the goals have been reached, and it's time to set off on to the next destination.
Only this time, Ji Ya and Gnavier could no longer walk with Wang Xiaoming.
"In other words, you are going to stay in the Cili Empire for the time being to help?"
"That's right. But it's mainly in the form of advisors. β
After the ceremony, Wang Xiaoming and Ji Ya began to discuss the trip.
"Estelle, they invited you?" Wang Xiaoming was not surprised by this, "But it's not surprising, I think she's very busy these days, and she has to deal with political affairs, and she has to be ambiguous with that Isuzu all day long, how can she have so much energy." β
Yes, since the raid and rebellion were resolved, the relationship between Estelle and Chito Isuzu has become delicate, and the two girls can often be seen staying together.
Seeing Wang Xiaoming's happy appearance, Ji Ya's expression was still peaceful: "It's inconvenient for us to talk about other people's private affairs." It was true that she invited me. Now they have to assist Bilica in handling government affairs, but whether it is Bilica, Estelle and Chito Isuzu, they are inexperienced in this area and still need to learn. β
"So I found you?"
"This is partly the reason, but more importantly, I also have to communicate with the Sea Clan on their behalf and deal with the coexistence of the two sides for many years. β
"You and Lucia of the Seven Seas, right?"
Ji Ya nodded. The mermaid girl was willing to negotiate with her on behalf of the Sea Clan, and the others would not have that face.
"It's an opportunity in every sense of the word, and I can't ignore it. β
Gnavier leaned close to Ji Ya's side at this time and said with a smile: "Hehe, my sister and I are going to stay here for a while, and you can get out alone." β
"Alas~ Then I'm really sad. Wang Xiaoming pretended to lament.
But in Ji Ya's opinion, this makes no difference at all for Wang Xiaoming, he is alone or three, and it has no impact at all.
"So, Gnavelle and I can't go with you. β
Wang Xiaoming sighed: "It's a pity, maybe we will have the opportunity to travel around leisurely like this time in the future." β
When Gniveville heard this, she frowned and hugged Ji Ya's hand, "That's better, my sister and I only need two people together." β
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoming looked at Ji Ya and Gnavier, and smiled naturally.
"Again, it's enough for the two of you together. I won't mix it up. β
Ji Ya vaguely noticed the change in Wang Xiaoming's feelings, and she said hesitantly: "Xiaoming, in fact, you can do it yourself..."
"The time has not yet come. β
Wang Xiaoming shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.
"The time has not yet come..."
Sure enough, he also has something on his mind.
Ji Ya was very eye-catching, and immediately changed the topic: "Okay, don't talk about this." Since you're leaving, I'll explain to Estelle for you, and you can go directly. β
"Thanks, you're in the Cili Empire after that, and you're going to refuel. β
"Accept your good words. β
"Of course. Wang Xiaoming didn't forget Gnaveer next to him, "You too, don't always be rash and drag your sister back." β
"Hmph, I need to say it. That being said, Gnavier has already paid lip service.
"And where are you going next?" asked Ji Ya with some interest.
Wang Xiaoming waved his finger and swiped from side to side.
"Another famous island outside the Lesser Continentβ"
"Dragon Island. β
