【479】Emperor (II)
The white mist is filled, and the wisps of it are wafting between the streets and alleys of the city, and after drifting among the inky peach blossoms blooming in the spring breeze on the mountain, there is a lot of mist on the peach branches and young leaves.
The misty Yunmeng Mountain is very lively, and the three Miao female ghosts with embroidered flowers can be seen everywhere in the mist, the three-second male ghosts who have returned from farming and hunting, and the three Miao ghosts who are chasing and playing around.
The bustle of the entire Cloud Dream City is full of comfort, and the white fog is filled with peace and stability.
In order to be more appealing, Xiao Shizhu did not think about becoming emperor, but in addition to those worries, he also expected that among the princes who had rebelled against the Emperor of Xudu, there would definitely be ghosts who could not sit still and become emperors.
Once these ghosts are proclaimed emperors, the Emperor will point the finger at these Hades and devote most of his energy to dealing with them until they are destroyed.
In this way, the Nine Shadows Kingdom will be able to breathe and develop better. Therefore, he has always implemented the strategy of building high walls and accumulating grain and slowing down the king, even if the power is getting bigger and bigger, he does not dare to expand easily in this regard.
But his rejection made Bo Dongha feel a little disappointed, after joining the Nine Shadows Kingdom, he has not done much, and he has always wanted to do something for Xiao Shizhu.
finally did a thing, and let Xiao Shizhu reject it, it's strange if he doesn't lose it.
Xiao Shizhu put away his smile, and after his eyes trickled between Bo Donghan's slightly lost eyebrows, he understood what the other party was missing. He also knew that he couldn't just throw the other party's sincerity into the wind like throwing snot paper.
So he immediately smiled again, and then slowly spoke: "Bodonha, don't be disappointed." You write this exhortation of yours into a recital for me, and I promise you that when you conquer the capital of Xudu, capture or kill the Emperor of Xudu alive, and avenge the old man, you will definitely approve your recital as soon as possible. ”。
"Really?" Bo Dongha, who was still dark-eyed, suddenly lit up, staring at Xiao Shizhu and asked.
Xiao Shizhu nodded his head a little, and said: "Of course, not only that, I have seen you govern Yunmeng County so well along the way, and you also value agriculture when you value business. And I heard that there are no unjust and wrongful cases under your rule, and in the huge Nine Shadows Kingdom, the county under your rule is really Lang Lang Qiankun, so I want to reward you well. ”。
As soon as these words came out, Bo Dongha was in a good mood, and his eyes were shining.
"I don't know what to give you, so I'll give you some Stygian coins. This thing is more practical than anything else, you can eat and drink whatever you want, just buy some with this money. Xiao Shizhu thought about it for a while, then smiled lightly, and said poorly: "And I also brought hundreds of altars of Tianlu sweet wine brewed during the period of the ancient gods stored in the Yuque Palace on this tour, this is a 10,000-year-old wine, you go to the Yin and Yang Realms to inquire casually, then only we have such an ancient wine in the underworld." But don't worry, don't look at this pure and transparent wine is always a little old, but it will definitely not hurt your stomach, and it is mellow and lush, and the taste is absolutely soft and delicate. As soon as the mud is opened, the incense will float for three or four miles, and you will be given five jars for you to take home and drink. But let's talk about one thing first, you can't drink it when you're on duty. ”。
At that moment, Bo Dongha was suddenly flattered, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
The stone dragon on the side was even more envious, and after laughing, he pretended to be jealous and shouted: "It's a pity that our stone ghosts only suck the aura of heaven and earth, and we can't eat or drink, otherwise I will also ask the lord for a few jars to drink." ”。
"Shi Long, you have also paid a lot for the Nine Shadows Kingdom, don't say that I will forget you, the garrisons in the county you govern are all well-trained, and the military discipline is strict, and the army is even more cooperative with the local ghosts in various places to govern the cities and counties so that there is not even a robber and thief. The county built bridges and roads passing through the barracks, and the soldiers would not hesitate to help, bringing out such good soldiers for you, and I was planning to reward you. Before I came, I asked the disciples of Su Tianju to use the Qi Gathering Bottle (a bottle that can collect Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into the bottle for storage), and collected a hundred bottles of Spiritual Qi for you, take it home and suck it. Xiao Shizhu turned his eyes and looked at the smiling stone dragon: "In addition, I also brought a few shadow rhinos, and I will give you one as a mount." ”。
As soon as these words came out, Shi Long and Bo Dongha got up together and saluted Xiao Shizhu in unison: "Thank you, lord!" At the same time, Qi Qi was surprised, surprised that Xiao Shizhu had only been in the county for two or three days, and he was able to find out everything clearly, and his admiration for Xiao Shizhu added a little more......
Just when Xiao Shizhu rejected Bo Dongha's kindness, Fenglinzhou Youxiong was full of excitement in the country.
Especially in the capital city of Xuanyuan City, you can see everywhere that there is a noise with lights, flags fluttering in the joyful sky, and the faces of all the ghosts are full of excitement and happiness. And Ji Xuanyuan's main palace was crowded with ministers and ghost officials who were dressed formally, solemnly and solemnly, but their eyes were full of excitement.
There are hundreds of civil and military officials of the bear country in the capital, regardless of the grade and size, have gathered behind the Xuanyuan Gate, which is made of blue bricks, has three door openings and two corridors, and is neatly arranged on the square in front of the front hall opposite the Xuanyuan Gate.
The ghost is full of black clouds, and the square is even more cloudy, and the cold and cold rise endlessly, rushing straight to the top of the nine heavens, impacting the black clouds covering the sky and the sun above the sky, making it slowly rotate, forming a strange and mysterious whirlpool.
In front of the officials, the dark cloud whirlpool is just below the fragrant and precious fragrant wood rafters, with elegant weeping dragon wood as the beams and pillars, and even the roof rafters are covered with gold leaf, even if it is filled with ghosts, but it is also gorgeous and magnificent.
On the east and west sides, the two sides are made of Penglai apricots that can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, standing tall on both sides, like two straight guards.
The ghost flag hanging on it waved in the wind and whirred.
Standing at the head of the hundred officials who were excited, Feng Hou's face was calm, and he raised his head silently, and then his eyes followed the jade steps in front of him, looking at the golden luan throne made of gold and red sandalwood and inlaid with jewels and diamonds of various colors at the end of the jade steps.
This throne was recently made by gathering 1,808 master craftsmen in the country, and it took more than two months to temper it. The weather is myriad and brilliant, with the grandeur and grandeur of the ingenious workmanship, and the spectacle is breathtaking.
But for some reason, every time I see this intricately carved and graceful* golden luan throne, it makes the queen of the wind feel a little uneasy.
Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that it is more appropriate to feel uneasy about Ji Xuanyuan's upcoming ascension to the throne and claim the throne as emperor.
The queen of the wind knew that it was because the Emperor Xudu had set up heavy troops in Fenglin Continent, so that Ji Xuanyuan couldn't wait to ascend the throne and become the emperor, and with the respect of the Emperor of the Underworld, he ordered all the ghosts in the continent to respond to the call of the bear country, so as to gather the power of the ghosts in Fenglin Continent and even the ten continents in the world, and reasonably hit the Northern Yin Dynasty.
But the queen of the wind always felt that this matter was too hasty. He believes that this act is a double-edged sword, although it can enhance Ji Xuanyuan's appeal, but it can also increase the determination of Emperor Xudu to let the bear country die.
Therefore, the queen of the wind did not agree with this move very much, but because he did not dare to contradict Ji Xuanyuan, who had already made up his mind, he stood here with vague apprehension.
After being stunned, he came back to his senses, and after the wind expelled the distracting thoughts in his mind, he no longer thought about the things that disturbed him. At present, the enthronement ceremony is still held according to Ji Xuanyuan's wishes, and as for other things in the future, the queen can only take one step at a time.
After waiting for a long time with the ghost ministers of the bear country, Ji Xuanyuan, dressed in embroidered five-clawed nine dragons, with a Xuan shirt and vermilion bottoms, after sacrificing to the ancient gods, walked in slowly from outside the Xuanyuan Gate surrounded by the heavily armed bear army.
The hundred officials who had been waiting for a long time gathered one after another, hugged Ji Xuanyuan to the front of the main hall, and after sitting down on the golden luan throne at the end of the jade steps, the hundred officials went down to the square in front of the main hall first, leaving only the wind queen still on it.
Then the ghost officials of the deacon walked over with the crown dress case, and Feng Hou, who was the prime minister, held the crown dress case with twelve black crowns hanging from the front and back, slowly knelt down and knelt towards Ji Xuanyuan. Before and after coming to Ji Xuanyuan, he handed the crown to the other party, and Ji Xuanyuan, who was excited in his eyes, took it and put it on his head without saying a word, and immediately a ghost slave serving on the side came over with a jade flute and inserted it through the small holes on both sides of the crown. After getting up with the wind, he strode into the group of ministers in front of the main hall, and after the ghost slave fitness sang: "Scheduling", he and the hundreds of officials lined up neatly under Ji Xuanyuan.
The musicians, who had already been around the courtiers, began to play the music, which was very lively.
And the ministers also bowed slowly to the high Ji Xuanyuan in the cheerful and festive vocal music, and then stood up, and the vocal music also stopped abruptly at this time, and the huge square square fell into tranquility, only the cold yin wind roared and rampage in the square, blowing the flags and the robes of the ghost officials.
Then another ghost slave strode down, and after leading the prime minister, he went up to the throne of Jinluan in front of the main hall again, and the ghost slave then sang: "Kneel, wat." The queen of the wind struck in his singing, and knelt down again with the officials.
I have to say that this set of procedures is really complicated, and Ji Xuanyuan sat still, if the human soul on the throne was replaced by Xiao Shizhu, he would have complained hundreds of times in his heart, and by the way, he was secretly complaining about who invented this set of etiquette, whether it was invented and deliberately tossed his own Yunyun.
Ji Xuanyuan on the throne not only did not get bored, but looked around at these ghost ministers who were bowing to the ground, his heart was full of mixed feelings and excitement, and the ghost blood was boiling all over his body. The memory is vivid, thousands of years ago, when he was in the world, he was also worshiped by everyone like today, looking down on everything from above.
It's just that today, the people who bow down to him have been replaced by ghosts, but the sense of superiority that keeps surging in their hearts is no less than that of those days. The excitement that the world was holding, and the irrepressible spirit, all returned to Ji Xuanyuan's undulating chest again at this moment.
The treasure officer opened the box and took out a topaz jade seal the size of a human soul and a dragon button and handed it to the queen of the wind, and after the queen of the wind took it, he said to Ji Xuanyuan holding the treasure: "The Yellow Emperor ascends the throne, and the ministers are respectful of the imperial treasure." When he finished speaking, a ghost slave had already taken the jade seal for Ji Xuanyuan and put it in the box.
"From today onwards, I will no longer be the king of the underworld of the Northern Yin Dynasty; from today onwards, I will restore the honorific title of the Yellow Emperor, and use the respect of the ancestors of China to order the souls of the world to obey the call!" Ji Xuanyuan, who couldn't wait for these cumbersome etiquettes, got up and raised his arms and shouted: "Spread the ten continents in the world, I, Ji Xuanyuan, continue to be the emperor in the underworld today, and the emperor's name is the Yellow Emperor!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. The hundred ghosts shouted in unison, and the shouts shook the heavens and the earth.
Ji Xuanyuan, who was looking down on everything under his feet, no, he should be called the Yellow Emperor again at this moment, and he was already so excited that even his ten fingers were trembling slightly.
As everyone knows, his move is just as expected by Fenghou and Xiao Shizhu, which has both appeal and destruction.
