As the sound of the empress phoenix fell, Cao Dachun, Lu Ning and others got up one after another.

The civil and military ministers led by Qin Zhong also got up, and some of them had burning eyes, looking at the new empress with a majestic and full aura on their faces.

There are also people whose eyes are gloomy, and they may be thinking in their hearts that the empress will ascend the throne against the sky, and the world will soon be chaotic.

They are only enduring the pain for a while.

The enthronement ceremony proceeds to the third step.

The empress didn't care what everyone thought, and her voice was like a phoenix: "The sky is a great week, and the divine fortune will last forever." The national honor lasts for thousands of years. ”

"From now on, the Great Zhou will change the Yuan - Yuan Wu!"

"Long live Your Majesty!!"

Under the golden stage, Qin Zhong took the lead, and the civil and military ministers bowed again.

"Flat!"

The empress waved her arm, and everyone got up.

Cao Dachun, under the guidance of the empress's eyes, stepped forward to read out the letter of reward.

"Your Majesty's Title: Qin Zhong, the first assistant of the cabinet, is old and frail, fought bloodily, and has meritorious service, and is specially named the loyal and brave marquis and the first assistant of the cabinet."

"Old minister, thank Your Majesty Longen!"

As soon as Cao Dachun's voice fell, Qin Zhongke knelt down and thanked him with a 'poof'.

Lu Ning glanced at Qin Zhong slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Uncle Pei Tong, who has meritorious service in escorting, can be promoted to a high grade, and can enter the cabinet, in addition, he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred acres of fertile land."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Uncle Pei Tong knelt down and thanked him.

Pei Tianbei, who was standing on the stage, took a look and laughed.

"The Demon Suppression Division is Gu Fengtang, and he has a meritorious ...... to protect him!"

……

"Lu Ning, escort the first-class merit, promote the Thousand Households of the Demon Division, and give the golden waist card, you can avoid death!"

Rushing......!

Can you avoid death?

Qin Zhong and the others were shocked, even if they were named Zhongyong Marquis, they were not as heavy as this golden waist card!

Kou Shize was also surprised, he had the greatest credit for the Battle of Yunlu that year, and later supported Emperor Ming Wu to ascend the throne, and he did not get the golden waist card, which could avoid the glory of death.

Why did this kid win the gold medal for avoiding death after driving overnight?

"Pei Tianbei, the first-class merit of escorting, the promotion of the town demon division to a thousand households, and the golden waist card can be spared!"

Hearing this, Qin Zhong and the others were in an uproar again, and they all looked at Lu Ning and Pei Tianbei with great envy.

"The rest of them are all rewarded for their merits one by one, and they are admired!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"The Qing family is flat!"

Then the music sounded, and the singers and dancers of the Workshop Division began to play.

The empress looked at it a little and slowly walked towards the golden stage.

Lu Ning and others followed.

The enthronement ceremony is not completely over.

Everyone followed the empress and moved to the Taiji Palace, which is the place where the civil and military ministers went to court.

Daming Palace is the emperor's dormitory.

But the empress did not plan to live in Daming Palace.

She plans to go to court in the Taiji Palace, review the chapters in the imperial study, and live in the Yongle Palace.

In the Taiji Palace, all the guards, palace maids, and eunuchs knelt down and bowed.

The empress slowly walked past the golden-red stall and turned to sit on the throne of the emperor.

Lu Ning and Pei Tianbei were on both sides of the imperial throne, one on one side.

Cao Dachun glanced coldly, and could only stand a little back.

Don't look at the fact that the two of them are just five-grade military attachés, just with that golden waist card, no one dares to be tough with Lu Ning.

Just died, and died!

There's no way, who let the two of them escort the first-class merit, the emperor's grace is mighty!

After Qin Zhong and other civil and military ministers bowed down, they began to enter the banquet, and the ritual music began, and everyone first saluted the empress, and then staggered their plans.

According to the law system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the civil and military officials must kneel and bow.

In fact, you don't need to kneel and bow when you go to court or see anything on weekdays.

Except for civil and military officials, no one should kneel and bow at any time and place.

Those who do not know are not guilty.

Wine until half-full.

Han Shiling, a civil official who was dissatisfied with the empress's accession to the throne, suddenly jumped out and pointed at the empress's nose and shouted.

It means that the empress tampered with the edict, contrary to the will of Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty, and even more contrary to the historical imperial system.

criticized the empress as the eldest princess, and if she is a princess, she can't be called the emperor, wrapping the harem and continuing the problem.

The throne should be given to King Yongsan or King Ansan......

The empress looked at the civil official calmly.

didn't let Qin Zhong, Cao Dachun and the others do it, and only after listening to it did she wave her hand.

"If you say you don't like to hear it, you're going to cut me Han Shiling, hahaha...... Can you kill all the talkers in the world? …… Traitor, you are the traitor......! ”

"Ahh

There was a scream outside the Taiji Hall, and then there was no sound.

In the main hall, the civil and military ministers were quiet.

The empress sat on the dragon chair, calmly looked at the civil and military ministers and said, "Who else thinks that I am not worthy of sitting in this position?" It's okay, say, speak freely. ”

Qin Zhong and the others looked at the empress with strange expressions, was it serious to speak freely?

"Your Majesty, this Han Shiling reads dead books, and is pedantic and talentless. If it weren't for the recommendation of King Yongshan, His Majesty would not be able to excuse himself, so he would be allowed to be an official in the court, wouldn't he know that he was a white-eyed wolf, hateful and killable! ”

"But I am loyal to the ministers, loyal to the Great Zhou, loyal to Your Majesty."

Qin Zhong was the first to speak, first demoting Han Shiling, then showing his loyalty, and bringing everyone with him.

What can the people say, and those who are dissatisfied sit and remain silent.

Lu Ning glanced at Qin Zhong, this old man who was loyal and traitorous, if he didn't know him, he would definitely be moved by his words.

Seeing that everyone listened to Qin Zhong's words, they nodded frequently.

The empress didn't say anything more and continued the banquet.

Lu Ning stood aside, checking the Heavenly Punishment Catalogue.

[Congratulations to the Punisher for killing the six-star sinner Pang Jian and gaining 9.2 million experience points at one time!] 】

Total XP: 22.46 million!

Seeing the total value of experience, Lu Ning was very excited in his heart.

Originally, it would take more than 40 days to be promoted to the third grade.

Now it only takes more than twenty days.

I really can't figure it out, what is wrong with a third-grade powerhouse, I want to be a killer.

[Sinner, death! Congratulations to the penalty owner for winning three lucky draw chances, is it a lottery? 】

"Pump!"

Lu Ning's consciousness responded.

[Congratulations to the punisher for obtaining the first-class stunt "Heavenly Absolute Technique", beginner (700,000/16 million)! ] 】

"A stunt, a heavenly stunt?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Lu Ning's heart, what kind of character is the third-grade killer Pang Jian? There is a murderous stunt on his body?

I was even more surprised that it was only with the strength of the three products that I had only practiced to the beginner level.

It can be seen that this stunt is very difficult to cultivate, otherwise today's enthronement ceremony, the empress will have to do something.

[Congratulations to the punisher for obtaining the second-grade light body exercise "Instant Ten Thousand Miles", beginner (230,000/3 million)]

"In a flash?"

Lu Ning's eyes condensed slightly, and he obviously felt some changes in his body.

Immediately checked the catalogue, and the five-grade light body exercise "Instant Thousand Miles" disappeared.

Hehe, this is so good, it's so good!

[Congratulations to the punisher for obtaining three four-grade healing pills, Blood Bone Pills, do you want to use them?] 】

"Not for now!"

Lu Ning responded in his heart, he really didn't expect to have such a rich harvest by killing a Pang Jian, it seems that this person's identity background is not simple!

Yipintian Absolute Technique is a kind of assassination technique, I don't know what sect it is?

But to achieve a product, the strength of the sect must be very strong.

It's almost noon.

The empress said that she was tired and wanted to rest in Yongle Palace, so she took Lu Ning and others to leave the Taiji Palace.

Qin Zhong chased out of the main hall and said respectfully to the empress: "Your Majesty, you won't be late when you go to court tomorrow!" ”

"In the future, when you go to the court in winter, it will be changed to two o'clock, and the old Qin Pavilion will inform everyone."

The empress said with a sinking of phoenix eyes.

It was a little early, and it wasn't dawn.

"Your Majesty!"

Qin Zhong nodded and ran into the main hall happily.

……

Yongle Palace.

In the main hall, the empress asked Bai Wei to prepare wine and meat dishes, and Lu Ning and Pei Tianbei, who were already hungry, started eating when they saw the wine and meat.

In the Tai Chi Hall just now, the two of them just watched greedily, and they didn't care about their image at this time.

Not long after, Gu Wushuang arrived.

"Wushuang, it's just the right time, sit down!" The empress said with a smile.

Gu Wushuang was speechless, she didn't expect the empress, Lu Ning and others to run back and have a small banquet.

After sitting down, he said, "Your Majesty......!" ”

"I'm not going to talk about state affairs today."

"Your Majesty, it's not a state matter, it's a family matter, when do you plan to send Concubine Qi back to Qiushan?"

"As soon as I ascended the throne, I sent her back to Autumn Mountain, which made people seem anxious."

"There's a date, and my subordinates are ready."

The empress groaned and said, "Then let's go on the sixth day of the lunar month." ”

Gu Wushuang only took half a month to hear this, nodded and said, "Okay, my subordinates will go back and prepare." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Ning.

Lu Ning, who was eating, felt Gu Wushuang's eyes, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and glanced at the latter.

After a while, he looked at the empress and said, "Your Majesty, escort Concubine Qi back to Qiushan, and my subordinates are willing to go." ”

The empress glanced at Lu Ning with phoenix eyes: "You don't have to go." ”

Gu Wushuang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Lu Qianhu's reputation has just risen, and there are not many people who know him, acting as a groom and escorting Qi Guifei is indeed a good candidate." ”

The empress pondered for a moment and said, "That's it, you look at the arrangement." ”

Gu Wushuang nodded.

When the wine was half-drunk, Lu Ning still said what he thought in his heart: "Your Majesty, now that you have ascended the throne as the emperor, your subordinates have fulfilled their mission, you have been asking me what reward I want before, and my subordinates have thought about it!" ”

Hearing this, the empress was quite happy: "Say it, as long as I can do it, I will be sure." ”

Lu Ning said with a smile: "It's very simple, my subordinates plan to return to the prison after sending Concubine Qi to work, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it." ”

The moment his voice fell, the atmosphere in the Yongle Hall became strange and solemn.

Bai Wei, Bai Xue, Pei Tianbei, Gu Wushuang, and those palace maids were all stunned.

You are now a celebrity by His Majesty's side, so you have won the favor of Your Majesty, why don't you serve well and go back to the prison to take office?

You've got water in your head, right?

The empress's face condensed slightly, and her phoenix eyes said a touch of anger: "Are you serious!?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, your subordinates are serious!"

"Scrap!"

The empress suddenly got up angrily, smashed the jade cup on the ground, and glared at Lu Ning fiercely with phoenix eyes: "Waste, waste......!" ”

The voice fell, and he turned around angrily and walked towards the inner sanctum.

Bai Wei and Bai Xue were extremely depressed, and glared at Lu Ning speechlessly.

"I'm not wasted!"

Lu Ning looked at Pei Tianbei and then at Gu Wushuang.

"Scrap!"

Gu Wushuang glanced at Lu Ning and got up to leave.

asked you to go to Akiyama to see off someone, and didn't let you leave the empress?

"Brother Lu, you are indeed a bit wasted!"

Pei Tianbei didn't stand by Lu Ning's side this time, shook his head and said, "Isn't it fragrant to serve my empress sister?" Why go back to prison? ”

Lu Ning sighed in his heart, I want to too, but how do you understand my fun!

He had to go back to the prison and stay in it for a while.

Turned the third and fourth floors.

With more experience, he can quickly reach the second and first grades, and become a rare powerhouse in the world.

At that time, it will not be too late to stay with the empress!

Following.

Winter Moon Twentieth.

Emperor Yuanwu got up early, washed up and went to the court.

Bai Xue and Bai Wei followed, Lu Ning and Pei Tiantong also followed, and Fang Xuewu accompanied the guards.

Along the way, the empress sat in the dragon bowl and did not speak to anyone.

When they arrived at the Taiji Palace, the civil and military ministers were already waiting.

"Go to court!"

Eunuch Liu, who was in his forties in the Chengxuan Division, shouted at the top of his voice.

Qin Zhong and the others walked into the Taiji Hall at this time.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live!"

"Flat!"

The empress was wearing a dark dragon robe, a black gauze winged crown, and a string of cherry red jade beads hanging on her chest, which was quite majestic and imposing.

Lu Ning took a closer look and was very satisfied.

Next, it was Qin Zhong and others who made up all kinds of people.

Qin Zhong impeached King Yongshan without His Majesty's permission, recruited troops and horses privately, and had the intention of rebellion.

The king of Beimang, who had not yet returned to Beimang, played the northern barbarians, and learned that Emperor Wu of Ming had died, and there were signs of imminent movement recently, and the phenomenon of captivity in the frontier was not very serious.

Uncle Pei ditto played the riots in Xiliang and Sangzhou, and the trend became more and more intense, and troops must be sent to suppress it.

Zhennan Hou reported to the Southern Xinjiang Demon Domain, and there has been a pilgrimage to the demon clan recently, and there seems to be a big move.

The Marquis of Zhenxi reported to the kings of the Western Regions that Emperor Wu had died, and they wanted to send people to mourn.

Lu Ning stood aside and listened, and the twists and turns were really overwhelming.

There is everything, Gyeongju mountain bandits, Qingju famine......

It can be seen that during the period when Emperor Ming Wu was in bed, there were many things that had been backlogged, and he basically did not deal with them, waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne to deal with them.

Lu Ning looked at the empress and saw that the empress was sitting on the dragon chair, and there were some six gods without masters.

She really didn't expect that there would be so many things.

Sitting on the dragon chair, I couldn't help but rub my temples.

After a while, she turned her phoenix eyes to look at Lu Ning.

Seeing that Lu Ning was staring at herself, her phoenix eyes flashed with a touch of tenderness, and while Qin Zhong and the others were arguing, she hooked her finger at Lu Ning.

Lu Ning's eyes flashed slightly, and he trotted up to the golden dragon platform and walked to the dragon chair, and whispered, "What did Your Majesty call your subordinates?" ”

"With so many things, which one do you think I should deal with first?" The empress asked in a whisper.

Lu Ning glanced down and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you must know that you are the empress, and you don't have to do everything yourself, you can't finish it if you are tired like that." ”

"It's a matter for the Criminal Department, let the Criminal Department handle it, it's a matter for the Ministry of War, let the Ministry of War handle it. Your Majesty, all you need is a result. ”

"I know that!"

"And what's your problem?"

"King Yongshan, the northern barbarians, the countries of the Western Regions, and the southern demon clan ......!"

"Your Majesty, deal with the countries of the Western Regions first."

"Why?"

"Think about it, people are here to mourn Emperor Ming Wu, whether they are sincere or not, we can't refuse it, we have to have the appearance of a kingdom."

As he spoke, Lu Ning glanced down and said, "As for the King of Yongshan, the Northern Barbarians, and the Southern Xinjiang Demon Clan, I will analyze them in detail with Your Majesty later." ”

The empress nodded secretly, probably guessing Lu Ning's thoughts.

She was also surprised in her heart, she hadn't figured it out yet, but Lu Ning had already figured it out.

The more she looked at Lu Ning, the happier she became.

[Congratulations to the punisher for increasing the favorability of the Empress of the Great Zhou to 93% and rewarding 5 points of prestige!] 】

Prestige: 48 points!

Lu Ning: "??? ”
