Chapter 344 Simultaneous Enthronement (1)

The bells in 742 made the people of the imperial capital cheer. They were cheering for the arrival of the New Year, and they were cheering for the honor of witnessing a ceremony for a new emperor ascending the throne. Such a ceremony was not as old as decades, and that would never be seen next time.

At this moment, the people crowded on both sides of the main road of the imperial capital were waiting for the ceremony to begin, and listened to the elderly telling the story of how majestic and luxurious the last ceremony was. They carefully recorded one or two details, and prepared to blow it with others in the future. A loud trumpet sounded, and then a few words of inaudible shouts, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the central gate of the imperial capital. The people at the gate immediately cheered, and saw a whole army of pure white war horses coming slowly in line with horse stairs.

The white war horses were all covered with gilded saddles, the bridle was inlaid with gold, the cavalry on the horse's back was white gold-inlaid armor with snow-white windbreaker, each cavalry helmet had a fiery red feather on the helmet, and each soldier held a flag, which was either the badge of the Empire or the badge of the Royal.

After the cavalry of this regiment, there were heavy armored cavalry from a brigade, followed by light armored cavalry from two brigades, and finally there were heavy armored, light armored, swords, engineers and other infantry from brigades that appeared in units of brigades. It can be said that for this ceremony, more than one legion was dispatched, and the dressed ceremonial guards were bragging about their martial arts on the main road of the imperial capital.

On the main gate of the imperial city, the prince, who was dressed as a prince, was flushed with excitement. Looking at the ritual soldiers who would eventually gather in the imperial city square, he was about to ascend to the supreme position to become the master of the empire. Thinking that all things in this empire were about to exist with his will, his heart trembled and he wished that the ceremony of ascension to be held immediately. When the parade soldiers poured into Guangcheng of the imperial city, the eunuch in charge came forward and whispered: "Master, the time is up, it's time to change his dress."

Although the prince, who had been anxious for a long time, he still wanted to run away with a tense face. A legion of soldiers gathered in a neat and silent manner in the Imperial City Square, and the concessioned people were crowded in and stayed around the legion.

The gate of the imperial city is open, and you can see the giant throne with golden light shining high in the main hall gate. From the throne to the gate of the imperial city, the road was filled with fully armed imperial guards and thousands of officials arranged by left and right.

A low trumpet sounded, and thousands of palace maids and eunuchs, holding and holding all kinds of strange royal ceremonial items, slowly followed the avenue, and inserted into the gaps of the imperial guards while walking.

After the palace maids and eunuchs were stationed, a group of fierce men with a back and a bear-back, wearing gorgeous martial arts uniforms, and sharp swords, were extremely alert to open the way in front of them, and behind them were also a group of equally escorted men. Walking alone in the middle was Viin Ryerhart, who had already changed into brand new emperor uniforms but did not wear an official hat.

Looking at the throne of the emperor getting closer and closer, looking at the ministers and soldiers standing respectfully bowed their heads around, Viin Ryerhart couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If it weren't for the incident that night in the imperial capital, he would have been helpless and could not even be the prince. How could he have such a mighty power? Now that I have not ascended the throne, I feel the fear of the world for myself. What kind of feeling will it feel after becoming emperor!

Under the guidance of the eunuch general manager, Viin stood in front of the throne and looked at the ministers. From this position, there were dense figures of people watching. When they were watched by so many people, Viin was not uncomfortable, but instead felt a sense of arrogance in his chest. He looked at the officials who were qualified to stay in the hall with a proud look for the first time. Especially when he saw the marshal and the prime minister, Viin couldn't help but feel complacent. You two old guys, kneel down to me later!

The eunuch in charge took out an imperial edict, stood at the entrance of the hall and opened his throat and shouted loudly. The words were nothing more than the words of adhering to the will of God and inheriting the will of his ancestors. Prince Vien Ryerhardt legally inherited the throne and became the new master of the empire. A large number of eunuchs who were simultaneous to the microphone spread the words of the eunuch throughout the imperial city, and the sound tube placed outside the imperial city spread these words throughout the imperial capital.

"Please give your highness a crown and ascend the throne." After reading the eunuch, the eunuch in charge, turned around and knelt down to Viin. The two eunuchs who had long held the emperor's crown and a noble and luxurious sword, immediately stepped forward. Although Viin was eager to get to the throne, he still looked calm and walked slowly to the throne and turned around and stood still. The prime minister and the marshal looked at each other and tidied up their clothes, walked out of the queue and came to Viin.

Seeing this scene, although Viin wanted to wear a crown and a sword himself, it was equivalent to slapping the Prime Minister and the Marshal in front of the world and spitting in the face. Even those who are calm will not bear this insult. And most importantly, once such unruly things are done, the legitimacy of his emperor will be questioned.

The prime minister took the crown from the eunuch and put it on. Then the marshal took the sword from the eunuch and put it on Vien. Then Vien turned around and grabbed a seal with a fist from the eunuch in charge. Finally, Vien pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword and grabbed the seal with the other hand, and glanced at the ministers with a lustful look.

The eunuch in charge shouted loudly: "The new emperor ascended the throne! The subjects kneeled down!"

Under the leadership of the Prime Minister and the Marshal, the civil and military ministers, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and countless people outside, all kowtowed and shouted: "Greetings to my emperor! My emperor is blessed and long!" Weiyin could no longer help him, and a feeling of being in the supreme world suddenly came, from head to toe, and from feet to head back and forth several times.

I finally became the emperor, and I finally became the master of this empire!

Viin forced himself to calm down, handed the seal and sword to the eunuch, sat upright on the throne, and said in a unique to the superior, with a proud and indifferent tone: "My dearest, all my dear." Seeing these ministers standing respectfully on both sides of the hall, Viin was very content and began to express his long-prepared declaration of the throne in a light tone. When Viin finished promulgation, the ministers swore their loyalty one after another.

Ignoring the rags that were happening in the palace hall, the eunuchs, the soldiers participating in the ceremony, and the onlookers all received a gift divided by status, and then happily watched the celebration show. For ordinary people, today is a festive festival.

But for others, especially high-ranking officials and nobles who make their meals on the Xin Dynasty, it is an extremely mental and physical day. Why do you say that? In addition to racking your brains to praise the new emperor and expressing your loyalty, you are busy receiving guests sent to the gifts from all over the country.

Would it be too embarrassing to become attendants? Absolutely, the sphere of influence of the imperial capital is so large now that I wish I could take advantage of the new emperor to ascend the throne to spread the power of the imperial capital all over the world. The more gifts from foreign forces are, it means that the more powerful the imperial capital is, it is related to the reputation of his own power. Of course, as a powerful person in the power, he must do his best.

"Your Majesty, the head of a county in Northeast China, congratulates three thousand gold coins, congratulates His Majesty to the throne, and a merchant group of the Vierte Alliance will congratulates 10,000 gold coins, congratulates His Majesty for ascending the throne, a merchant group..."

The ministers reported the gifts and gift givers one by one to Viin. Although the number of gifts was more than a thousand, the gifts given were almost hundreds of millions of gold coins. Unfortunately Viin didn't think there was anything to be happy about. Because among these congratulatory people, there were less than a hundred imperial powerful people, and they were all powerful people who were too small to be even smaller. More than half of them came because of the relationship between the prime minister and the marshal. Only dozens of them were really attracted to him. The remaining nearly a thousand were merchants who came to win over the relationship, and most of them were foreign merchants! Although several officials were obviously sent by other countries, they insisted that they were merchants, and this time they came to pay tribute to him was for the business route. This shows that none of these neighboring countries were optimistic about themselves!

This is not a worry. Anyway, as long as you become stronger, these foreign forces will have to recognize their status if they do not recognize them. What annoyed Weiyin the most is that among so many people who wished him, there are more than a dozen warlords who have real power, but these warlords are amazing, which is a possession of one or two counties and counties with thousands to more than ten thousand people, but there is no real warlord! What does this mean? It means that the emperor of the empire is not only not favored by foreign forces, but also by domestic forces! There is not even a warlord willing to show friendship, county level or above! Not to mention which warlord is willing to surrender! He is so unpopular? When this matter is spread, what kind of face can his new emperor have!

Viin's face looked very ugly. He couldn't help but secretly glar at the Marshal. Why would the little warlord of Cons with the rank of governor of the two provinces not come to congratulate? Logically, since he had submitted his letter last time, he should come to congratulate this time. Could it be that the Marshal did not let him come and would embarrass him? In the case of Emperor Viin's random thoughts, a minister suddenly shouted with energy: "Major General of the Imperial Army, commander of the 20th Army, Haiquan, and the governor of the two provinces of the sea, His Excellency Cons Rerente sent an envoy to congratulate His Majesty ascended the throne!"

Viin immediately jumped up, but immediately remembered his current identity. He sat down in a hurry, then waved his hand with joy and shouted, "Hurry up, messenger Xuan!" It's not that Viin is so happy. Who told Cons to be the only warlord who clearly surrendered to him now, and the only warlord with tens of thousands of troops, and the only supervisor who accepted the appointment of the imperial capital. Such a warlord came to congratulate him, and he might not give face so much? Give face the other party to give face to himself.

Hearing the words of the new emperor, the ministers were busy standing up with civil and military affairs. Some low-level ministers even secretly sorted out their clothes and appearances. As ministers, they knew that this warlord named Cons was the only foreign minister under the new emperor's command. The ministers of the imperial capital could not be looked down upon by the foreign ministers. As the eunuch's unpleasant voice sounded, there was a burst of footsteps outside. Several strong men in the military uniforms of the Imperial Officer carried several large boxes and followed an imperial major to enter the hall where the imperial power issued orders in sequence.

The empire major glanced at the hall, then saluted Emperor Viin with a respectful look on his face and said, "Major Okde of the 20th Legion, please see Your Majesty! On behalf of the 20th Legion, he paid tribute to Your Majesty! Long live my emperor!" As he said that, he knelt down on one knee and gave a heavy salute. The lieutenants behind him hurriedly put down the boxes and performed the same etiquette.

When Emperor Viin heard this, he waved his hand happily and said, "Haha, if you are willing, don't be too polite, get up." Hehe, Cons' subordinates are so respectful to him, wouldn't this mean that Cons is also loyal to him? Haha, even if Cons doesn't have this mind, he wants outsiders to think so! Emperor Viin, who had this idea, had a warm tone after receiving a few antiques from Cons's army respected. Of course, that's all. After all, the other party was only Cons' subordinates, not Cons himself. After a conversation, Oaked and others were led out of the palace by the eunuch and taken to arrange food and accommodation.

Just when Emperor Viin was a little calmer, he secretly reported it to him. This time, he immediately jumped up and shouted: "The Cons army has captured the entire Haiquan Province! The seventh prince was under house arrest! Haha, it's great!"

The minister was stunned at first, and then immediately became happy. Isn’t this saying that it was originally a local warlord occupying several counties and a national warlord occupying a province? Among the many warlords in the world, except for the royal relatives, only one soldier came from a warlord occupying a province! Compared with the past, Cons’s future status and reputation have a huge gap from quantitative change to qualitative change.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." The ministers immediately congratulated Weiyin with tactful congratulations. Although the expansion of warlords' power has nothing to do with their own emperors, who said that this was the first warlord to accept the imperial capital and to congratulate the throne? Although it was clear that the emperor and this warlord had at most a harmonious relationship and had not even implemented the relationship between the superiors and subordinates, outsiders seemed that the Cons warlords belonged to the emperor's faction. When it was necessary to increase their reputation as much as possible, this was enough.
