Chapter 22: Coronation
Two days later in the evening.
"Grandpa Brand, Grandpa Brand, I'm going to be king!" inside the castle, David said happily around Brand, who had just entered the castle.
Shortly after the news of Gianna's siblings leaving the convoy was released, Brand also left the convoy alone and rushed back to Yuzhen City alone, which had just arrived in the evening.
"Hehe! I didn't expect things to go so smoothly!" Brand doted on David's little brain, and said with emotion.
"Thank you, my lord!" Brand bent down at Chen Yuxiang next to him, and said with great emotion.
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just a gesture!" Chen Yuxiang said lightly.
"Grandpa Brand, you don't have to thank the big brother! I've already decided to let him be my sister's fiancé!" David said loudly.
"Oh?" Bland looked up suspiciously, "What's the situation?"
"David!" Gianna blushed, glared at David fiercely, and ran away with the corner of her skirt, looking extremely cute.
Inside David's room.
"David, you're going to be a king! It's not easy to be a king! But there are a lot of responsibilities, are you ready?" Brand said with a serious face as he looked at little David.
"Is it so troublesome?" said David, bewildered, "Isn't it over being a king by giving orders for others to do it?"
"Hehe!" Brand shook his head with a wry smile. Although David was kicked out of Yuzhen City when he was three or four years old, he was spoiled by his mother and sister in Luoyang City, and he also lived a pampered life, so how could he know the hardships of the world?
"David, listen to Grandpa. After you become the king, you still have to have a good relationship with your wife, and you might as well listen to her opinion before deciding on some things!" Brand said solemnly.
"Grandpa Brand, I won't let that cheap 'girl' help me!" David pouted, "Although I am young, I can learn! And I also have Sister Gianna! My sister is in Luoyang City, and I also learned business from Grandpa, she will definitely be able to help me!"
"Business!" said Brand with a sneer, "is that comparable to running a kingdom!" In the past ten years, she can be said to have contributed to the development of Yu Zhen. Now her popularity far surpasses yours, and Yu Zhencheng is full of her henchmen. If you don't handle it well, it's also very troublesome!"
"What's the trouble!" David said disdainfully, "If anyone is disobedient, I will ask the eldest brother to kill them all!"
Brand couldn't help but be speechless for a while, and said in his heart that if the factor of this mysterious adult is counted, it will naturally be a different matter! But will this adult really become Gianna's fiancé?
......
A day later, inside the castle chamber.
All the barons (only the barons) in Yu Zhicheng were all present, all of them were wearing the most solemn dresses, and their faces were full of happy expressions.
David sat on a throne in the castle chamber in his magnificent costume. The lady bowed her head and stepped forward, handed the seal of royal power to David, and slowly retreated into the crowd.
Yu Zhiguo is a vassal of Great Xia, and as the new leader of the Celestial Shadow Team stationed in Yuzhi City, Chen Yuxiang has the responsibility to take on the important task of crowning the new king.
Amid the solemn music of the court musicians, Chen Yuxiang took the crown adorned with gems and walked forward slowly. David respectfully knelt on one knee as a sign of respect for the great powers of the Celestial Empire.
Chen Yuxiang solemnly put the crown on David's head, stretched out his hand to help him, smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "David, congratulations!"
"Big brother, thank you!" David said with great emotion.
Chen Yuxiang smiled lightly, turned around and stepped aside.
"Mother, don't worry! We have returned to our homeland, David has become king, and our hard days are over!" In the corner of the main hall, Gianna looked at all this, and said secretly in her heart.
Her eyes were already slightly moist.
Just a year after arriving in Luoyang City, her mother died because she missed her father, and the young Gianna took on the responsibility of taking care of her younger brother. Despite the help of Grandpa Brand, it was still very difficult.
Now that her younger brother has become the king, Gianna naturally wants to comfort her mother's soul as soon as possible.
......
"The coronation ceremony is over, and the banquet begins!" the court 'attendant' said in a long, sharp voice.
Plates of delicacies were served, and dancers, dressed in very thin gauze clothes, danced in the main hall. The nobles were holding goblets and chatting and laughing happily with each other. Everyone had a joyful smile on their faces, as if they were all happy about the coronation of the new king.
"For the new king!" said a handsome middle-aged baron, raising his glass.
"For the new king!" the barons around them responded in a 'chaotic manner', and they raised their glasses together.
David sat on the large throne, comfortably eating the delicious food fed by the 'maid', looking at the lively scene in front of him, his heart was also 'excited'.
He also knew that the big brother was a great contributor to being able to become a king so easily. Therefore, looking at Chen Yuxiang's eyes, he was also full of emotion.
Looking at the sister who was sitting with Grandpa Brand, but his eyes were looking at the eldest brother from time to time, the new king David made a decision in an instant.
"David, these are some documents on the financial situation of the city, please take a look at them. Madame walked over with a thick stack of papers and said respectfully.
"Put it here, I'll see it when I get back!" David said impatiently, "Now, I'm going to announce something important!"
Madame nodded silently and retreated to her seat.
"Everyone, be quiet, this king has something important to announce!" David said in a loud voice, standing up.
Although the nobles were talking and laughing with each other, they were always paying attention to David and his wife, so as soon as David spoke, the hall immediately fell silent. Everyone was staring at the new king and listening to what the first thing he announced.
"This king announced that in ten days, the wedding will be held here for Sister Gianna and my eldest brother Shen, and I invite you to come and watch the ceremony!" David said seriously.
"What!" David's words immediately caused an uproar in the hall. And Madame's face immediately became extremely ugly!
David sat down happily, looked at Gianna proudly, and said in his heart that now the big brother will be tied to him, and he will no longer have to worry about that cheap 'girl', he is so smart!
Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at her, Gianna immediately lowered her head in shame, and even her white neck became red, but she didn't say a word.
Brand looked at Gianna, and then at Chen Yuxiang who was not far away, he was also confused, did the relationship between the two develop so fast?
Yiyi looked at Chen Yuxiang in astonishment, and Chen Yuxiang shook his head with a wry smile. Gianna is 'quite beautiful', tall, with a delicate face, and her black hair like a waterfall is indeed exciting, but it is impossible for him to have any 'intersection' with her. David: This is undoubtedly a big problem for himself.
After the banquet.
"Sister, I'm smart! announced this matter in front of so many people, and the eldest brother can't refute it, this matter is settled, and my sister can rest assured!" David said proudly.
"Thank you, David!" said Gianna in a low voice after a moment of silence.
"What do you mean that you can't refute, David, you gave such a beautiful sister to Lord Shen, how can he refute it if he doesn't steal fun?" Brand who was standing on the side looking at the document raised his head, shook his head with a wry smile and pointed to the document on the table, "Don't talk about this matter yet, let's take a look at this document quickly! This king is not so easy to be!"
"What is this?" David leaned over curiously, and Gianna walked behind Brand and looked at it seriously.
After a while, David shouted: "How can there be so many deficits? So, there is no money in the treasury, and the city guards are still owed several months' salaries? Even the money for the coronation ceremony for a few days is borrowed? What does this make me use for my sister's wedding! Grandpa Brand, didn't you say that the cheap 'girl' is very capable? Look at what the kingdom has been tossed into by her!"
"David, there must be something greasy in this, but we definitely can't find anything wrong with the documents!" Brand sighed and said, I knew that Madame would not 'hand' over power so willingly, and she didn't dare to confront Lord Shen in the open, but there would definitely be small moves in secret. The key is this matter, how do you deal with it!"
"What should I do? The money must have been hidden by that cheap 'girl', what can I do? I don't care, I'll go to her and ask for money later!" David said indignantly.
"David, you are already a king, you can't treat yourself as a child anymore!" Gianna raised her head and said in a low voice, "It's definitely not a way to find Madame, she's waiting to see your good show! Not only have the city guards in this city not been paid for three months, but those troops stationed in other towns have not been paid for half a year, this is not a small amount, let's think about how to solve this problem!"
Brand also nodded. In the 'chaotic' and 'chaotic' MiG corridors, in order to seize oases and water sources, the city-states often fought against each other, and the status of the army was unparalleled. If even the military pay is not paid properly, the kingdom will be in danger.
"David, may I come in?" a voice rang out.
"It's big brother!" David quickly jumped up and ran to open the 'door'.
Chen Yuxiang walked in with a smile, closed the 'door' of the room, and with a wave of his hand, several heavy bags appeared on the floor of the room, and the gold coins in the bags exuded dazzling light.
"So many gold!" exclaimed David.
"Huh. David, this is my gift to you. In fact, the money belongs to you. At that moment, Chen Yuxiang also casually talked about the reception of the Sky Shadow team.
15 million gold coins is only 150,000 low-level spirit stones. Chen Yuxiang has spirit stones on his body, but there is no semicolon of Wanbao Pavilion here, so he can't exchange it at all, so Chen Yuxiang hit Li Rongbi with his idea.
With his powerful divine sense, Yu Zhencheng is like his own 'flower' garden, and it is naturally accurate to find the location of this Celestial Shadow Group!
"This cheap 'woman' actually used 5 million gold coins to bribe that Goryeo 'stick' to kill us! No wonder there is no money in the treasury!" David cursed angrily.
"Okay, you can handle these things yourself!" Chen Yuxiang said with a smile, "In a few days, I should also go!"
"Are you leaving in a few days, big brother, you and my sister's wedding ......" David said anxiously, and Gianna's face turned pale in an instant!
