Chapter 78: Claim to be the Emperor

At this time, the other 50,000 Imperial Forest Army in the square were also slaughtered by the Tianchen Army, and the Tianchen Army outside the palace also killed at this time, converged with the Tianchen Army inside the palace, and began to search every corner of the palace.

Chu Chen led everyone into the main hall, and he walked to the dragon chair and sat down.

"Meet the Emperor of Heaven, long live the Emperor of Heaven, long live, long live!" Lu Youzhi led the soldiers to bow down to Chu Chen.

"Report!" At this time, a soldier hurriedly ran into the main hall, came to the center of the main hall, and bowed to Chu Chen: "Emperor Qiqi, the Western Route Army defeated the Wei soldiers and captured tens of thousands of people!"

"Report!" Not long after, another soldier hurriedly ran into the main hall and reported to Chu Chenyu: "Emperor Qiyu, the two armies on the East Road have defeated the Yan soldiers and the Liang soldiers, and captured 100,000 people!"

For such news, Chu Chen was not surprised at all, but Lu Youzhi and the others were obviously relieved on their faces, now, Jin, Wei, and Liang have all been defeated by them, in the future, these three kingdoms will not dare to invade the border easily, and the kingdom of heaven will be safe!

"Emperor Qi, after a search, everyone in the palace has been taken, please send it down!" A general in charge of searching the palace walked into the main hall and reported to Chu Chenyu.

"Leave this matter to the prime minister, find out their details, keep what you can use, and kill them if you can't use them. Chu Chen said, there are too many people in the palace, so those who stay must be loyal to him, and those who are close to the former Qi must not stay.

"The Emperor of Heaven can rest assured that the ministers will definitely check everyone's bottom carefully, so that there will be no hidden dangers left in the palace. "The way of land travel.

"There is no need to worry about this matter, the most important thing now is to let my Celestial Empire run quickly, and appease the people of all counties, especially more than ten counties such as Piaoxiang County, Lanjiang County, and Baihua County, which were ruined by the former Qi soldiers, and the people there suffered a lot of unjustified disasters, and the order was passed on, no matter what taxes were collected in the future, they would be exempted from paying taxes in these ten counties for ten years. Chu Chen said: "In addition, the prime minister should have some understanding of the officials in the former Qi, and I am afraid that the appointment of officials will fall on the prime minister, and the burden of the prime minister is getting heavier and heavier." ”

"The Emperor of Heaven trusts the minister so much, the old minister is worth it even if he is full of brains, the Emperor of Heaven can rest assured, the old minister will definitely do his best to select all kinds of talents for the Emperor of Heaven, so that my Heavenly Empire will become stronger and stronger!"

"When the Celestial Empire was first established, all kinds of things need to be done by everyone, I only have one request, no matter what it is, all of you must cooperate with the prime minister well, put my Celestial Empire on the right track as soon as possible, and let the people of the Celestial Empire live and work in peace and contentment!" Chu Chen said to everyone again.

"Yes, your ministers obey!" said in unison.

In the next period of time, Chu Chen basically had nothing else to do except for signing the edict with Lu Youzhi every day, until almost a month later, under Lu Youzhi's diligence day and night, everything was handled, the selection and appointment of officials from all over the country, the people who stayed in the palace, the reorganization of the army, taxation, Chu Chen's enthronement ceremony, etc.

In this almost a month's time, Chu Chen was not idle, he spent almost most of his time cultivating every day, but he lacked rare medicinal materials for enough years, so his cultivation did not improve much in this month, and now, he only cultivated to the middle stage of the fifth layer of Qi Condensation.

In the early days of the dynasty, Lu Youzhi reported to Chu Chen that his enthronement ceremony would be held ten days later, at that time, the rewards of officials and meritorious ministers from all over the country would also be announced together, Chu Chen had no opinion on this, he was the emperor is a hands-off shopkeeper, and all things were handed over to Lu Youzhi to deal with, in the eyes of outsiders, Chu Chen is like a puppet, and it is Lu Youzhi who is mastering the Celestial Empire, in fact, only those who follow Chu Chen to fight the world know that although Chu Chen doesn't care about anything, the core of the Celestial Empire will always be Chu Chen.

"The prime minister has worked hard during this time, and after the emperor ascends the throne, the prime minister should also take a good rest, and leave the things in hand to the juniors to do, you just need to guide the side, in addition, the prime minister has rested enough, but you must seize the time to help the emperor cultivate talents. Chu Chen said.

"The Emperor of Heaven understands the old minister, the old minister is grateful, but I am afraid that the Emperor of Heaven will be disappointed, the old minister has already started to open Taixue, a county and a school, and after the Emperor of Heaven ascends the throne, the old minister will also personally go to various places to inspect. "The way of land travel.

"Prime Minister, can your old bones withstand such a toss?" Chu Chen said angrily, this old guy is going to run all over the country, and he won't be tired to death. "This emperor is not allowed to do this, you will stay in Tiancheng, not to mention that after this emperor ascends the throne, he will leave and travel to various countries, there is no prime minister in Tiancheng, and this heavenly kingdom is not chaotic!"

"The Emperor of Heaven wants to travel?" The civil and military forces in the hall couldn't help but be shocked one by one when they heard Chu Chen's words, and Lu Youzhi smiled bitterly: "Emperor of Heaven, if you leave Heavenly City, the world will be in chaos." ”

"As long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, it is the same whether I am in the Heavenly City or not, but you are the prime minister, and all the things in the Heavenly Empire are handled by you personally, and I am indispensable to you in the Heavenly Empire. Chu Chen smiled.

"Emperor of Heaven, you want to travel to all countries, this matter must not be, if the news leaks out, I am afraid that those countries with bad intentions and the old people of the former Qi will be unfavorable to you, if you have an accident, my Heavenly Empire will not be overturned!"

"Okay, let's talk about this matter after Emperor Ben ascends the throne. Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "Is there anything else going on today?" If there is nothing to do, everyone can go their separate ways." ”

Ten days later, Chu Chen's enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled, and Wei, Jin, Liang, Chu, Qin and other countries all sent envoys to congratulate Chu Chen, for which Chu Chen also thanked him very politely.

The ceremony was grand and tedious, and it took a whole day to get everything done.

From today on, Chu Chen officially became the first emperor of the Heavenly Kingdom, and named the country Tianchen the Great Emperor!

The next morning, Chu Chen wore a dragon robe and an imperial crown, sat on the dragon chair, and accepted the worship of the ministers who were all wearing new-style official uniforms.

"Zhongqing is flat!" Chu Chen raised his hand and looked at the smiles on the faces of the ministers, he smiled and said, "What do you think of my Celestial Empire now?"

"The emperor brings forth the new, all policies are people-oriented, I don't know how many times better than the previous Qi, now in the territory of my Heavenly Empire, the people live and work in peace and contentment, just over a month, the people's production and life have returned to normal. An official came out to proclaim.

"Li Ao, how is the army?" Chu Chen asked as he set his eyes on Li Ao.

"Returning to the Emperor, now that the army of my heavenly kingdom is growing stronger and stronger, where new soldiers are recruited everywhere, there are new people who come to join the army every day, and as of the military report sent yesterday, there are a total of 2,345,325 people in my heavenly army. Li Ao replied.

"If you want to dominate the world, this amount of troops is not enough, but with the current income of my Heavenly Kingdom, I can only feed more than two million troops, pass the order, the conscription will be temporarily stopped, and the more than 30,000 Tianchen troops that were originally brought out of the valley will be remobilized, 30,000 people will be decentralized, let them train new soldiers, and the rest will be transferred back to Tiancheng and reorganized into a Tianchen Escort Team, and you will also serve as the head of the Tiancheng Guard. Chu Chen thought for a moment and said.
