Chapter 697: Enthronement Ceremony

"I said what's going on!" Lin Yu suddenly realized, nodded and said, "Okay, then the fifth day of the first month will be enthroned! As for Yu Zichen's guy, there is no need to ask him, this kid is not only eating, drinking, and having fun but spoiling women...... Well, apart from pestering Grandpa Cai, there is no other ability, so I will go to the Ministry of Rites and immediately let them post a document to inform the world. [Full text reading]"

After chatting with Yu Ningshuang for a few more words, Lin Yu got on his horse and galloped away in the direction of the Ministry of Rites.

In the next few days, Lin Yu began to officially take over the government affairs of the palace, first spent a little time, dealt with all the accumulated twists and turns, and then in the name of Yulin, funded the construction of a lot of projects that were beneficial to the people, won the appreciation of many people, and laid a good foundation for him to ascend the throne.

In addition, Lin Yu also borrowed the rights of the regent to suppress the officials who had followed Situ Wuji for corruption, dismissed a few officials, and copied a few homes, which really enriched the treasury of the Great Xia Empire and cleared the atmosphere of the entire officialdom.

........................

In a blink of an eye, the day was the fifth day of the new year, and Lin Yu had already asked the palace maids and eunuchs to clean up the entire palace spotlessly, and decorated the front and back harems from the inside to the outside, and the treasures were everywhere.

And the streets of all sizes in the imperial capital, Lin Yu also ordered people to decorate them all and arrange them like the New Year, even when Yu Shaoxi succeeded to the throne, he did not have such a beautiful scenery.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come, and it is time for you to go to the Golden Luang Palace. Cai Gonggong held the crown of the Xia Dynasty in his hand, and came to Yu Shaoxi tremblingly, because today is the day of the handover of the old and new emperors, as soon as he opened his mouth just now, he realized that he didn't know if he could still call Yu Shaoxi His Majesty, so he paused.

"Well, I see. Yu Shaoxi didn't care, he responded lightly, took the Xia Dynasty crown and put it on his head steadily.

Standing up, Yu Shaoxi reached out and stroked a delicate wooden box carved with dragon play beads on the table, hesitated for a while, lightly tapped a few times on the dragon head with his thumb, took a deep breath, and then carefully picked up the wooden box, rejected the kindness that Gonggong Cai wanted to help him take, and walked towards the direction of the Jinluan Palace with a solemn face.

Coming to the outside of the Jinluan Palace, Yu Shaoxi saw that Lin Yu was already waiting here, with Yu Ningshuang standing beside him, holding Yu Lin in his arms, and Yu Zichen with a helpless face on the side.

The civil and military officials were divided into nine columns, lined up and stood in a long line on the square, implying the long-term peace and stability of the Great Xia Empire.

"Enthronement Ceremony - Start Football Emperor!" Seeing that everyone had arrived, Gonggong Cai stood aside and shouted at the top of his voice, and then lit six incense sticks and handed them to Yu Shaoxi and Yu Ningshuang respectively.

Each person wore three incense sticks, just to sacrifice to the heavens and thank God for making their empire safe and stable, which was also the primary ceremony for the handover of the emperors of the Great Xia Empire.

Originally, the incense should have been made by Yulin, but because Yulin was too young, he could only be done by Yushuangshuang.

After the ceremony was over, Gonggong Cai began to read out the edict, announcing that Yu Shaoxi would pass the throne to the emperor's grandson Yulin, and he would abdicate to become the emperor.

When Gonggong Cai read out the edict of succession, Yu Shaoxi put the wooden box he brought on the sacrificial table and gently lifted the lid.

Everyone stared at it, and there was a jade seal carved with a coiled dragon in the box, and a delicate silver needle, the dragon's eyes showed a dignified and transparent vermilion, and the whole jade seal looked thick and majestic, and it was very solemn, which was the highest thing that symbolized the power of the Great Xia Empire - the imperial dragon seal.

After the edict was read, it was finally time to officially hand over power, Yu Shaoxi slowly took out the jade seal and silver needle in the box, hesitated for a while, and slowly handed them to Yu Ningshuang.

Yu Ningshuang was stunned - what is this going to do? She turned her head to look at Lin Yu for help, and found that Lin Yu was also confused, and he also didn't know these ways of inheritance.

"Use a silver needle to pierce Yulin's fingertips and put blood on the dragon's eyes. Seeing Yu Ningshuang stunned there at a loss, Yu Shaoxi's originally serious and rigid face finally loosened, smiled slightly, and reminded in a low voice.

Yu Shaoxi remembered that when he first ascended the throne, Ning Shuang had not yet been born, so it was normal for him not to know what to do.

"Okay!" Yu Ningshuang nodded, carefully taking the silver needle, although a little unbearable, she still gently stabbed Yu Lin's fingertips.

"Wow", Yulin, who was stabbed, suddenly cried, and Yuning Shuang hurriedly put a drop of blood oozing from Yulin's fingertips on the eye of the coiling dragon, and then coaxed Yulin distressedly.

"Father, it's already ordered, what should I do next?" Slowly coaxing Yu Lin, Yu Ningshuang asked with a blank face.

"That's it, Yulin's age is still young, as for the rules passed down from his ancestors, let's wait until he grows up in the future to complete it!" Yu Shaoxi nodded, put the jade seal and silver needle back in the box, and then reached out to caress Yulin's pink cheeks, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

When Yu Shaoxi ascended the throne, the Great Xia Empire was in an eventful period of war, and the Huangfu Empire in the east and the grassland tribes in the north were both very strong at that time, so they both wanted to plot the territory of Great Xia.

Because Yu Shaoxi's father had made many wrong decisions before, the Great Xia Empire almost fell into the pocket of other countries, and later gradually gained a foothold in the hardships.

And Yu Shaoxi was much luckier than his father, when he succeeded to the throne, the Great Xia Empire already had a preliminary prototype, although it was still surrounded by a group of heroes, but at least it had its own foundation.

After he became the emperor, he immediately changed generals, personally went to the barracks to promote newcomers, promoted Lin Tianqing, who was still an ordinary general at the time, and entrusted him with important tasks, so that General Lin could lead the troops to expand the territory and defend the homeland. Destroyed the Huangfu Empire and kept the steppe tribes out of Lilac City.

After decades of hard work, Yu Shaoxi not only managed the Great Xia Empire in good order, but also expanded its territory several times, becoming a first-class power on the Tian Yuan Continent, which laid the foundation for the prosperity of Great Xia.

"Father, don't be too sad, I believe that Yulin will definitely become a generation of Ming monarchs in the future. Perhaps, he can surpass you and govern the Great Xia Empire to a more prosperous and prosperous state!" Yu Ningshuang saw that Yu Shaoxi's eyes were a little moist, and couldn't help but comfort him, although he was amusing on the surface, he also sighed secretly in his heart.

"Hahaha......! Father is relieved, I will wait for that day to come!" Yu Shaoxi smiled faintly, covered the box containing the jade seal, and handed it directly to Yu Ningshuang's hand
