Chapter 260: Abdication
Liu Qingge sat on the dragon chair, his eyes were deep, his face was calm, and he slowly spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, my decision is well thought out. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may be young, but I believe in his intellect and perseverance. Moreover, I am not completely Zen in the throne, and I will continue to assist the crown prince as the emperor to ensure a smooth transition of state affairs. ”
Hearing Liu Qingge's explanation, although the ministers in the court were still a little uneasy, they also calmed down the discussion a little. They knew that Liu Qingge had always been a wise lord, and her decision had its own reason. Although they still had doubts in their hearts, they also began to be ready to accept this fact and did their best to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in jointly maintaining the prosperity and stability of the country.
After Leng Hao heard the news, he didn't feel excited.
I fought with my sister for this throne before because I lacked attention, and I didn't really want to get this throne.
"Your Highness is not happy?" Xiao Yue looked at her husband and asked with concern.
Leng Hao sighed: "This throne is not what I want. ”、
"But this throne is the responsibility of His Highness."
A trace of complicated emotions flashed in Leng Hao's eyes, and he shook his head gently: "Responsibility, yes, it is responsibility." But responsibility does not mean happiness, Satsuki, you don't understand, sitting in that position, the pressure and loneliness you have to endure are far from what you and I can imagine. ”
Xiao Yue stepped forward and gently held Leng Hao's hand: "Your Highness, whether you want it or not, this throne is yours now." I know your concerns, but you are not alone, and I will be here, by your side, to face all the challenges together. ”
Leng Hao looked at Xiao Yue, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes: "Xiao Yue, you can always give me the warmest strength." You're right, I have to take on this responsibility, whether I want it or not. I will try to be a good emperor, for you, for the people of the Apocalypse. ”
Xiao Yue smiled, her eyes full of trust and support for Leng Hao: "Your Highness, I believe that you will be able to do a good job." We will work together to make the Apocalypse more prosperous. ”
Leng Hao took a deep breath, his eyes becoming firm. He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, with Satsuki by his side, he would have the courage and strength to face everything. Their hands clasped tightly, as if at this moment, they were ready to meet the challenges of the future together.
Three days later, Leng Hao's enthronement ceremony was held in the square, and the entire Shangjing City was immersed in joy and anticipation. The square was crowded with people, and the people were bustling in festive costumes, vying to catch a glimpse of the new emperor.
Preparations for the ceremony were already in place, and a grand enthronement platform was erected in the center of the square, in front of which two glittering dragon chairs were placed, symbolizing the dignity and power of the emperor. The podium was surrounded by colorful flags and flowers, and the atmosphere was solemn and warm.
As the ceremony began, drums rang out in unison, salutes rang out, and Leng Hao, surrounded by officials, slowly walked into the square. His steps are firm, his face is calm, and he is dressed in a magnificent dragon robe and a golden crown on his head, showing the majesty of the king of a country.
Satsuki followed, her dress was equally gorgeous, wearing a phoenix crown, dignified and elegant. Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people, and her beauty and temperament made people admire.
Leng Hao and Xiao Yue ascended the throne, the officials saluted in turn, and the people knelt down one after another to express their respect and loyalty to the new emperor. Leng Hao's gaze swept over the crowd present, his heart was full of responsibility, he knew that from this moment on, he would become the leader of this country.
The ceremony was carried out in a solemn and orderly manner, and Leng Hao, with the assistance of the officials, completed the procedures for ascending the throne. In the end, he officially proclaimed himself the new emperor of the Apocalypse Kingdom to the cheers of everyone.
With the end of the ceremony, the celebration of Shangjing City also reached a climax. The people sang and danced to celebrate the enthronement of the new emperor, and the whole city was immersed in joy and peace. And Leng Hao and Xiaoyue also started their new journey of governing the country together.
……
On this day, Leng Hao looked at the music in his hand irritably, and sighed: "This group of people really don't know what to do, I have already ordered people to build bridges, and they still want to rebel." ”
Xiao Yue picked up the song on the ground and glanced at it and said: "Your Majesty, you are from a rich background, you can't understand the suffering of the people, the people of Shilipo have been isolated from the world, and suddenly become a member of the Apocalypse, they will definitely not be adaptable." ”
"But obviously becoming a member of the Apocalypse is the best choice for them." Leng Hao was a little upset.
Xiao Yue smiled and asked, "Then for Your Majesty, is Xiao Yue the most suitable queen for Your Majesty?" ”
Leng Hao was stunned by Xiao Yue's question, and then smiled: "Are you making fun of me?" Of course, you are the most suitable queen for me, there is no one. ”
Xiao Yue shook her head gently: "Your Majesty, I'm not ridiculing you. I'm just trying to make it clear that sometimes, what we think is the best option is not necessarily what others think is the best. Like you think that getting the people of Shilipo into the Apocalypse is the best option for them, but they probably don't think so. ”
Leng Hao pondered for a while and nodded: "You have a point. We often think that our decisions are for the good of others, but we forget to truly understand their needs and feelings. Perhaps, we should be more patient and more detailed to understand these people and listen to their voices. ”
Xiao Yue smiled, and a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes: "Your Majesty can think like this, it is already a blessing for the people." The way to govern the country is not achieved overnight, and it needs to be done slowly. ”
Leng Hao thought so, he decided to put down the music in his hand and go to Shilipo in person to communicate with the people there and understand their true thoughts. He understands that as the king of a country, he needs more patience and wisdom to deal with national affairs and truly think about the people.
Liu Qingge didn't expect his daughter-in-law to say these words, but she was very relieved to know it, and gradually stopped interfering in the government and politics, and wanted to let the two young people do it.
Liu Qingge's gratification was beyond words, she was well aware of the wisdom and insight of her daughter-in-law Xiaoyue, and her words not only showed a deep understanding of the governance of the country, but also showed sympathy and care for the suffering of the people. Such a daughter-in-law makes her full of confidence in the future of Leng Hao and Xiaoyue.
As time passed, Liu Qingge gradually reduced her interference in court politics, and she began to participate more in the affairs of the court, such as charity and harem management, and focused more on cultivating the pillars of the country and improving the quality of the people. She believes that only by being stable internally can she better support Leng Hao and Xiaoyue in governing the country externally.
Leng Hao and Xiao Yue also felt the changes in Liu Qingge, they cherished this opportunity even more and devoted themselves to national affairs with all their might. They knew that Liu Qingge's letting go was a trust in them and a test of their ability.
