Chapter 318 The Empress
September 21, the Empress's Coronation Day.
On this day, there was only laughter and joy in Lanyan City. Qin Yin was the emperor, which was tantamount to announcing the real reconstruction of the empire. The people of Lanyan City suffered from the massacre of the Yihe Kingdom. This pain penetrated deep into the bone marrow and would never be forgotten. Compared with the hypocrisy of the uprising and the country, the people loved this generous and kind empress more.
The square in Zetian was crowded with people, and countless civilians came here to watch the crown of the empress. The crowds were crowded from Zetian Palace to Tongtian Street, which was very lively.
...
Accompanied by the sound of bells, the ministers stood outside the hall on both sides. The square of the hall was lined with new imperial guards and imperial guards with distinct armor. Feng Jixing and Xiang Yu, two famous generals who had just been promoted to first-rank generals, guarding outside the hall gate.
"Please, Your Highness."
Su Muyun smiled and shouted loudly.
Qin Yin slowly walked out of the hall surrounded by his ministers. Her face was expressionless and stood gracefully, looking at everyone in his high position. Her hair was squinted high, and her swan-neck-shaped golden crown belonging to the empress was embedded on it. It was elegant and majestic. Under the velvet shawl, she was wearing a blue exquisite robe, which was the same color as the clothes of the imperial soldiers. Her waist was dotted with gold and silver tassels. Her straight peaks stretched the laces, and the purple flowers with gold edges were tattooed on the laces. It was the emblem of the empire.
"Xiao Xi, offer the imperial power pearl."
Under Tang Lan's order, Tang Xiaoxi, wearing a beautiful red dress, came to Qin Yin respectfully with a tray in her hand, raised her head and smiled slightly, and said, "Xiao Yin, come on."
Qin Yin nodded and smiled, reached out to hold the golden scepter, which was a treasure representing the royal power. The treasure that Qin Jin once held, holding the scepter in one hand and the golden and blue beads in the other. Qin Yin's snowy face had a faint smile and turned to look at the ministers of the Lord's Highness and the imperial subjects in the distance.
For a moment, the mountains and seas responded, and the entire Lanyan City seemed to be boiling at this moment.
"Xiao Xi, come with me." Qin Yin turned to look at her good friend.
Tang Xiaoxi smiled slightly, reached out to support Qin Yin's small hand, and the two walked towards the king's stairs step by step. His Highness and a servant held a golden crown in his hand. This was a special empress crown.
"Grandpa." Qin Yin said softly.
Su Muyun hurried forward, knelt on one knee, then picked up the crown of laurel, took off Qin Yin's original crown, and wore this supreme crown for her. In an instant, the ministers knelt down one after another, shouting: "Long live the Empress."
"Flat."
Qin Yin raised his hand gently and waited for all the ministers to stand up, saying, "You are helping Qin Yin to recapture Lanyan City, and have successively recovered the eight major provinces in Cangnan Province, Tianshu Province, Dixing Province, and Lingbei Province, and six of the eight major provinces have returned to the territory of the empire. You are working hard and rewarding, Qin Yin, on behalf of the family, thank you."
She bowed and gave a lady's greeting. The ministers were immediately flattered and returned the greetings.
Qin Yin blinked and continued to follow the agreed procedures: "Su Muyun, the Yunzhong Province, made contributions to supporting the Qin Dynasty, and was specially appointed as King of Yunzhong, and his title has been inherited from generation to generation."
Everyone shouted: "Congratulations to King Yunzhong and congratulations to King Yunzhong."
Su Muyun knelt respectfully in front of Qin Yin and said, "Old Message thanked Your Highness."
Qin Yin continued: "Tang Lan, the Duke of Lan of the Seven Seas, made contributions to supporting the country of Qin, and was specially appointed as the King of Seven Seas. His title has been inherited from generation to generation. In addition, he appointed Tang Jin's second son Tang Lu as the Marquis of Lingbei, Tang Ju's eldest son Tang Tian as the Marquis of Lingxi, and Tang Jin's daughter Tang Wei as the Princess Wei."
The Tang family and the group knelt down to thank them.
Qin Yin smiled slightly, nodded and signaled everyone to flatten. On the side, Tang Xiaoxi was closest to her. He blinked and said, "Two marquises and one princess, these are all enthroned by grandpa."
"Well." Qin Yin's voice was very soft: "The Tang family made contributions to regaining the mountains and rivers of the empire, which is what they deserve."
Tang Xiaoxi smiled bitterly: "Tang Lu, Tang Tian, Tang Wei, although they are my brothers and sisters, they are all mediocre people. How can these people be regarded as such a title..."
Qin Yin couldn't help but smile: "Xiao Xi, it's your best."
"Um."
Tang Xiaoxi looked at her with a faint look and said, "Xiao Yin, the empire has just decided that so many people have died, and so many fields have been deserted. I am afraid it will take several years of cultivation to maintain the war."
"Um."
"Also, according to the intentions of Mr. Yun and grandpa, I, the princess of Qihaicheng, also have to go to Zhen Yaoguan to take up his post."
"When will you leave?" Qin Yin felt lost.
Tang Xiaoxi smiled slightly, held her hand, and said, "I'll leave tomorrow, but Xiaoyin doesn't have to worry. As long as you need it, I can go back to Lanyan City to see you at any time. And... Yun Gong seemed to be worried about the demon clan. If I hadn't been guarding the demon clan himself, he would have worried that the demon clan would step into Middle Earth again."
"Well, my grandfather is too suspicious."
"Yes..." Tang Xiaoxi pouted and said, "But I can't stay in Lanyan City to accompany you every day in the future. You, the empress, will definitely be very boring. Oh... If Ayu is there, that would be great."
Qin Yin's eyes turned red, and she wanted to speak but stopped.
...
That night, Zetian Palace held a banquet to entertain the ministers.
Feng Jixing sat with Zhang Wei and senior generals of Wei Qiu, chatting in unison, while Xiang Yu was even more glorious. The rank of the general on his shoulder was shining with golden light, and the spring breeze on his face shone with pride.
"Congratulations to Young Master Tang Lu for being promoted to the Marquis of Lingbei." Xiang Yu smiled with a fist and said to Tang Lu.
Tang Lu was young and successful, and never took anyone seriously. He raised his lips and said, "Where is it, it is not as powerful as General Xiang Yu. I, the Marquis of Lingbei, are just an empty title, and they are not like General Xiang Yu. A river of rice has been turned into a river of dead people by the general. Wugu City, one of the seven famous cities of the empire, was turned into a city of dead by the general. Hey... I am afraid that no one can get to the right of the general in this world for military achievements."
Xiang Yu was stunned, his face turned pale and said, "A general's success has been broken. This is the way of ancient times. Why should you ridicule me Xiang Yu like this?"
"ridicule."
Tang Lu couldn't help but smile, patted Xiang Yu on the shoulder, and leaned closer and said, "Xiang Yu, you are just a stray dog. If my grandfather hadn't taken you in, would you have the chance to make achievements? But you are a smart person, and I think you should know how to do it."
Xiang Yu's face turned pale, and he held his fists and said respectfully: "The Lord and Lord have taught him a lesson. Xiang Yu will remember the grace of Duke Lan forever forever. If he forgets, he will have to use his sword."
"Okay, that's fine."
Tang Lu smiled slightly, passed Xiang Yu drunkenly, and went to greet Tang Tian not far away. One of the Marquis of Lingbei and the Marquis of Lingxi, Tang Lu, and the brothers Tang Tian also had enough identities in the empire.
...
In the side hall of the banquet, Qin Yin sat silently beside Su Muyun.
"Xiao Yin, what's wrong?" Su Muyun asked with a smile.
Qin Yin's eyes were stuck in the fruit plate on the table and murmured: "Grandpa, I want to rebuild the military system, treat the Longtan Camp as a regular army, build a 30,000-scale army, and promote Wei Qiu to a third-rank general protecting the country. I don't know what my grandfather wants."
"The army expansion of the Gentian Camp."
Su Muyun frowned, patted Qin Yin's shoulders, and smiled and said, "This matter is put on hold for the time being. Wei Qiu is young after all. If you want to reuse him, you can let Wei Qiu come to the Iron Blade Army as a commander. With his ability, he is already competent."
"Why……"
Qin Yin clenched her pink fist and bit her red lips and said, "Why do I have no power to establish an army as an empress?"
Su Muyun smiled slightly: "Silly child, what do you want to think about random things? You are indeed the empress, but... Grandpa will help you with military affairs, and your aunt Yu will also help you, so you don't have to worry about it. Moreover, you are not young anymore. Grandpa will not worry about anything else, but your lifelong affairs will be worry about."
Qin Yin remained silent.
Su Muyun continued: "That boy Qin Yan is the son of King Ji Ning. After King Ji Ning and His Majesty were killed in Fairy Lake together, many of King Ji Ning's old subordinates had contact with Qin Yan. I think his character is quite good. Xiao Yin, if you don't dislike him, in two years, when Qin Yan becomes an adult, my grandfather will get you married. How about it?"
Qin Yin clenched her fists, her nails were about to seep into her flesh, tears circling in her eyes, she shook her head gently, and said, "No need, Qin Yin has grown up, I will be with the person I love, I will not mention this matter, otherwise... Grandpa, you know my temper."
Su Muyun was stunned: "Okay... You know you are willful, so forget it if you don't want to, Xiao Yin, now Tang Lan is the king, and the military power under his command is becoming more and more powerful. Haven't you ever thought about anything?"
"That's a matter between you, I don't want to worry too much."
Qin Yin stood up and said, "I'm going to find Xiaoxi, so I won't be with you."
Looking at Qin Yin's lonely back, Su Muyun sighed.
On the side, Su Yu drank a glass of grape wine and said lightly: "Dad, Xiaoyin is not your puppet emperor. Is it too much for you to do this?"
Su Muyun turned around and looked at her daughter. Han Ye was as sharp as a sword.
...
A hundred miles away, compared to this banquet full of delicious wine and delicacies, Xunlong Forest seemed much colder. By autumn, the night was already very cold, but at this time a heavy rain fell from the sky.
"boom."
The mountain suddenly collapsed and slid down a large part, and also washed out the amethyst buried by the earth and rocks. The rain washed the top of the amethyst very clean.
After the heavy rain stopped, the clouds cleared and the moon shone, and the light of the stars in the sky fell into the crystal stones.
Suddenly, the man in the crystal seemed to have moved his eyes.
...
"Come on." The Seven Stars Demon Emperor called again and again: "Lin Ruoji, it's time to wake up. Since you have absorbed the light of stars, the three souls and seven spirits should wake up. How long do you want to sleep? I am a god emperor of the generation, and I have called you for several months like a midwife. How can I bear it?"
"ah……"
Suddenly, the long-sleeping soul suddenly woke up.
