The day has finally arrived.

According to Dazai's astrological prediction, the day of his accession to the throne, December 29, will be a rare sunny day. In one day's time, it will be the once-in-a-century day of the dragon's face, the end of the old year, and the beginning of a new era. He can't wait any longer, he must witness the arrival of the day of the dragon face as the dragon monarch.

In the early morning of this day, the sky was still dark, and the two hundred Dragon Monarch guards led by Yan Ji began to clear the mountain for the last time to ensure that there were no idle people. The sacred mountain has been cordoned off for the past few days, and even the monks of the Iron Fist Temple are forbidden to climb the mountain unless special permission is obtained. His enthronement ceremony will officially begin in the time of the wind.

After Yu Jian was dismissed, the Eight Guards of the Saber were dismantled, among which the bodies of Wan Cheng and Guo Xuan were found in a room of the guard, and through the examination of the imperial doctor, they attacked each other and died at the same time, Qi Shaoyu proved that they had had a fierce quarrel before and had been on discord for a long time. Duan Zhenyue and Tian Pan were accomplices of Yu Jian's corruption, and they were both imprisoned by the cabinet. Yan Ji was retained, but lost his second position, which was transferred to Qi Shaoyu. The new chief guard of Long Jun is Yuan Yiping, the captain of the general's personal guard. There are a total of 800 people in the general's personal guards, and on the fourth day of the kneeling day, there are 100 people who follow Long Chengtian into the palace, and the cabinet reorganizes the entire personal guards into the Longjun guards, plus some of the guards who were dismissed from their posts for punishing corruption before, the scale of the Longjun guards finally remained at 1,000 people, which was double that of the past.

Twenty-five-year-old Yuan Yiping is Long Chengtian's most trusted personal guard, from Changning City, the capital of Baihua Province, is the second son of the provincial governor Yuan Dawei, and is also a famous beautiful man in Baihua Province. Before becoming the captain of the Guard, Yuan Yiping was already a well-known master of boxing, and is now considered the most powerful samurai in the kingdom after Yu Jian. This time, he will lead all 800 elite guards of the original family guard to protect the new king as he climbs the mountain. And the two hundred people who Yan Ji led Qingshan were all members of the original Dragon Monarch's guard.

One organization, two groups, this is the current state of the convoy. This won't last long. Long Chengtian thought happily, after I ascend the throne, those two hundred people will be slowly cleared out, maybe they will be incorporated into the military guard of the royal capital, or they may enter the military pavilion, and then we will talk about it.

When the Red Hour arrived, Dazai-sama's foreknowledge was confirmed, and a red sun rose from the other side of the Immaculate Sea, emitting a warm glow, and climbed all the way to the canopy, and the main event of the end of the year was about to begin. Long Chengtian's carriage was made of gold, with a gilded canopy and a golden dragon head shining in the early sun, making it the most eye-catching of all carriages. After departing from the palace, it took half an hour to cross the dragon avenue and drive into the temple area, and arrived with the new king's carriage to the royal capital military guard. A large number of guests parked their cars on the outskirts of the Floating Cloud Forest, and the governors of the various provinces, the ministers of the royal palace, including the cabinet, and the envoys from the surrounding countries, who did not return after attending Nioh's funeral, were escorted by Yan Ji and his guards to the trailhead, and then the officials of the Chambers were responsible for setting up the procession to greet them.

Under the rule of Nioh, the Xianglong Kingdom has established good diplomatic relations with the countries of the world, and the recent dragon kings have greatly respected the way of etiquette and diplomatic relations, and in the past hundred years, except for the barbarians of the wasteland who are constantly harassing and the swamp people and mountain giants who occasionally toss, the Xianglong Kingdom has not been involved in other wars. This is a very good foreshadowing for Long Chengtian.

When the dragon god reviews the hundred years, he will smile, and I will be rewarded.

The members of the upper class of the Xianglong Kingdom lined up on both sides of the mountain entrance, arranged in the order of official rank, and the banner embroidered with the golden dragon was held in the hands of the honor guard, which stretched a distance of several arrows from the mountain entrance. When the wind came, the escort under the command of Yuan Yiping opened the way, leading the new king's convoy to begin the first step of the enthronement ceremony - the mountaineering ceremony was about to begin.

According to the provisions of the legal code, the new dragon monarch set the enthronement day after kneeling on the day of the spirit, and he should go to the dragon hall to worship and remember the previous kings on the day before the enthronement day. He had already been to the Dragon Hall yesterday, this was the second time he had entered the temple area in two days, he had rarely visited this place so often in the past, just like his elder brother Long Xingtian, but recently the cabinet had released rumors that in the future, the Dragon Monarch would be more associated with the Holy Mountain, the Dragon Worship Sect, and the Dragon God, in order to change the situation that the Holy Mountain and the Iron Fist Temple had been neglected for more than twenty years, or even longer.

Brother Wang received the title of "Nioh", which is a very high evaluation, and he has to be different from Nioh.

He is now about to be closely integrated with the Holy Mountain. The ascension ceremony is a ceremony to show respect for the sacred mountain, and it is also the first step after the official enthronement ceremony begins. He was wearing a purple dragon suit, the dragon suit was embroidered with seven dragons of different colors, wearing a purple gold coiled dragon hat on his head, and purple gold flying dragon boots on his feet, walking in the forefront, Dazai Zhuo Xuan will hold a set of golden dragon clothes in his hand, followed by other ministers of the Six Pavilions and ministers at all levels, and Xun Zhou, the great elder of the Iron Fist Temple, is also among them, although he has not yet been officially appointed as a national teacher, and then the governors of various provinces and foreign envoys.

During the climb, he, along with all the boxers, reverently recited the "Dragon's Grace" all the way to the top of the mountain. This is a scripture containing the two themes of repentance and gratitude, the spirit dragon sacrificed his body to protect his people into the Spiral Dragon Mountains, the reason why the boxers have survived to this day is completely because of the self-sacrifice of the dragon god, every boxer is born guilty, he should repent of his sins, feel the grace of the dragon god, and live his life.

On both sides of the mountain road, there was a Dragon Monarch guard standing guard every ten meters or so, and the soldiers of the Armed Guard Regiment followed at the end of the mountaineering procession. His younger brother Long Yingtian, as the chief security officer of this enthronement ceremony, arranged a total of six lines of defense in the temple area, and in addition to the Dragon Monarch Guard and the Wangdu Wuwei, 10,000 soldiers were also mobilized.

When he first arrived at the Holy Mountain, he heard the sad news of the sudden death of the elder Yuanfa, the head of the martial arts of the Iron Fist Temple, which made him very angry, but he couldn't attack in public, so he could only suppress his anger from the bottom of his heart. He was about to bring favor to the Iron Fist Temple, but the unscrupulous monks were about to give him that in return. When he returns, he will convene a meeting of the Dragon Court, and Xun Zhou must explain this matter to him well.

Due to the large number of climbers, the team moved slowly, and it was not until the dragon approached that the whole team reached the summit of the sacred mountain. The mountaineering team stopped outside the Xianglong Palace, and Long Chengtian walked out of the crowd, turned his back to the main hall and the dragon-shaped stone carving, and delivered a thanksgiving speech to the civil and military officials, provincial governors, and envoys. This is one of the necessary procedures before the successive dragon monarchs ascend the throne, and the content of the scriptures of "Dragon Grace" is different in that the words of gratitude are to commemorate the great achievements of the first generation of dragon monarchs You Gu, to remember the brave unity of the Xianglong Alliance, and their vow to follow the spirit dragon to the death.

The famous saying of the Holy King was "My generation is responsible", which later became his family motto. As a descendant of Yugu, Long Jun believes that he is a descendant of the dragon god, and he is born with an extremely heavy responsibility, not only to manage the country well, but also to inherit and develop the dragon worship religion, so as to demonstrate the lofty status of the supreme god of the spirit dragon.

After the thanksgiving speech, it was the turn of the head of the cabinet to read the "Letter to the People", praising the virtues of the former king and the new dragon king, the absolute sincerity to the dragon god, and the high sense of responsibility to the country. Due to the death of Minister Xia Yang, the task of reading fell on Dazai Zhuoxuan. The so-called "Letter to the People" is a high-sounding statement, and in fact no civilian will have the privilege of listening to its contents live, and it will not be released to the common people at any time in the future.

The next step is the robe ceremony. Zhuo Xuan, the head of the Pavilion, personally passed the golden dragon costume and the dragon head golden scepter symbolizing the dragon monarch to the new dragon monarch. The new dragon monarch is usually the heir appointed by the previous king, and Dazai represents the former king in this link, passing on the rule of the country.

The new king is here. It's not about inheriting anyone, it's just taking back everything that should be theirs. When Long Chengtian found that he thought of Brother Wang, the feeling became very strange, and he never felt guilty or regretful. I was just twenty-three years late. I should have sat on the throne a long time ago, and I would have done just as well. No, it would be better.

He knelt down on his knees in front of the temple and the dragon-shaped stone carving, and Zhuo Xuan held aloft a gold plate containing a dragon robe and a dragon's head golden scepter, and chanted "God Bestows My King" in front of the crowd.

"The robe of the former king is now given to him.

The handle of the first king exists now and there.

Hao Hao majesty, from my God.

The door of the temple is thought to be ascending.

God gave me my body and dedicated it to my kingdom.

God has given me a heart to bear my subjects.

God has given me a king, and I will inherit it for generations.

Thousands of generations, forever with their grace. ”

He took the gold plate and kowtowed to Zhuo Xuan three times to express his gratitude for the grace of the dragon robe and dragon staff inherited by the previous king. After that, the officials of the Cabinet stepped forward to remove the purple dragon robe, coiled dragon hat, and flying dragon boots that symbolized his status as a prince, and changed him into a full set of dragon robes that only the Dragon Monarch could wear, including a soaring crown with dragon wings, a golden robe embroidered with nine colors, and a pair of cloud-stepping boots carved with a nine-layer sky pattern. After putting on the full set of dragon clothes on his body, Long Chengtian took the last item from the gold plate, the dragon head golden scepter, pressed his left hand on his chest, raised his right hand high, and said loudly in front of the crowd: "My dragon Chengtian, the second son of Long Shaode, the twenty-eighth dragon monarch of the Xianglong Kingdom, the heroic soul of the benevolent king Long Xingtian, took over the dragon service golden scepter and took over the dragon service golden scepter in the hands of the heroic soul of the benevolent king Long Xingtian, and took office as the twenty-ninth dragon monarch." From today on, the prosperity of the country and the well-being of the people are the greatest mission of my life. This is the supreme glory of our God. From this day forward, I will live up to the expectations of my God, and I will live up to the teachings of the Holy King, knowing that I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, and I will do my best to fulfill my duties and shine until the end of my life. ”

After saying that, he turned around and knelt down in front of the statue of the dragon, his forehead resting on the ground, and everyone knelt down with him, chanting with him: "Ode to my spirit dragon, the supreme god." Thousands of generations, forever with their grace. Zhuo Xuan was the first to stand up, Long Chengtian had been closely following his performance, he had to be steady and not make any mistakes, otherwise the cabinet would soon have another change.

The silver hair in Dazai's ears trembled slightly with the movement of his facial muscles as he spoke. "From this moment on, the kingdom will have the twenty-ninth Dragon Monarch, who will lead the Boxers forward, and the country will enter a new era. Within an hour, the golden flames will spread all over the country, and before the day of the dragon's face, the whole country will be full of auspiciousness and festivities, and we will greet the review of the spirit dragon with the best attitude!"

Well done. The whole ceremony did not disappoint him. Zhuo Xuan is an old helmsman who has been sailing on the sea for many years, and he is good at identifying the direction of the wind and tide, and his hands are also very steady. I need someone who doesn't make mistakes, and if everything goes well from the enthronement ceremony to the day of the dragon's face, his position will be secure.

This tedious ritual is finally over. The palace has a new owner, and the journey from the top of the sacred mountain is only the first step in his rule, and he will soon return here to be reviewed by the dragon god and listen to his instructions.

The huge procession quickly left the holy mountain like a torrent of torrents. Time was tight, and a time-consuming celebration awaited them, including many celebratory programs and a huge luncheon. After all this is done, there will be a meeting of the Dragon Court, and some orders need to be given before the day of the Dragon Yan without delay.

It's going to be an extremely busy day. But it will also be a very satisfying day.

The whole process of the celebration was specially set up in Shenmu Square, which is different from the past, after the Dragon King ascended the throne in the past, there will be many programs in Shenmu Square, but the luncheon banquet was held in the outer palace, but this time the new king has made a decision, the luncheon is also in Shenmu Square, and the people of the royal capital can witness the whole grand occasion and will not miss any wonderful links. Because the day of the dragon's face is approaching, the royal capital should be immersed in great joy and satisfaction, and everyone should greet the dragon god's review with the best appearance.

Various performances from all over the country and around the world were staged at Shenmu Square, including the "Dance of the Moon Beasts" in which the islanders surrendered to the monsters on the island, the bloody and bloody "Formation" in the small country of Etaan, the wonderful performance of the "Battle of the Sea Monsters" on Potts Island, the traditional finale of the East Lake Province "Meeting on a Thousand Bridges", the acrobatic performance of "Manticore-like vs. Flying Snake" by the Swamp people, the "Battle of the Giants of the Conquest of Sudara" in the special dedication of Chishan Province, and the two performances covered by the eruption of the Red and Ash Corridor* The real simulated performance, blah blah deafening cheers around the besieged Shenmu Square. The Rite organizes fireworks to symbolize joy, and a variety of elaborate patterns are displayed on the blue canopy, including the scene where the dragon god defeats the goshawk. This was followed by a grand celebration of songs sung in various languages, and although most of the lyrics were not understood, the singers' singing voices of weeping or piercing clouds and stones touched most of the people present and won lasting applause.
