"Everything is done!"
Seeing Zhao Yu slowly walking down from the altar, Zong Ling Zhao Zhang raised his voice again and said:
"Officials, salute!"
"Long live your majesty!"
All officials kowtowed three times and bowed nine times.
On both sides of the long royal road, the soldiers in charge of the guard knelt down on one knee, holding weapons in their hands, shouting long live.
The common people watching on both sides of the royal road were affected by this and couldn't help shouting "long live your Majesty."
Suddenly, the voice of long live resounded through the sky.
Zhao Yu, who came down from the altar, looked at this scene with emotion in his heart and raised his hands slightly.
"Your Majesty, please excuse me."
"I thank you, Your Majesty!"
In this way, the relationship between monarch and minister was formally established.
"Unfortunately for the Emperor Daxing, he passed away as a young man and was buried in the sky by Yulong! With the protection of the gods of our ancestors, I am supported by all the people in the world. I am alone and stand above the people of the world. I can be said to be walking on thin ice. I hope that all your ministers will not treat me as such. I am still young and ignorant, but if you support me, I will also open up my voice and accept advice with an open mind. If your advice is beneficial to my great Chu, I will not hesitate to reward you!"
Zhao Yu said again.
"I will not give up even if I die!"
The ministers bowed their heads and bowed again.
At this point, the coronation ceremony has officially come to an end.
The enthronement ceremony is just a ceremony, and tomorrow's court meeting is the real highlight.
It is not only the first imperial meeting after Zhao Yu ascended the throne, it has great symbolic significance. The most important thing is that some matters urgently need to be discussed and resolved at this imperial meeting, including the dispute between Zhao Yu and Huang Jingming. trade.
Zhao Yu returned to the Forbidden Palace under the protection of the imperial guards.
At the same time, in a private room on the top floor of a restaurant in Shenjing City, Zhang Xiu leaned on the railing and looked at the sound of shouts of long live coming from the direction of Chengtian Gate. His face was a little flushed with excitement, and he turned to look at the people drinking with their eyes closed in the banquet. Wang Pu said:
"Sir, the Marquis has finally reached this point..."
Since ancient times, people who have learned literary and martial arts have brought their goods to the emperor's family.
These twelve words, to be granted the title of marquis and prime minister, to be granted the title of wife and son, and to leave a name in history, can be said to be the greatest wish of all scholars and warriors.
But now, with Zhao Yu officially ascending the throne as emperor, this wish has changed from the future tense to the progressive tense.
Even though Wang Pu has always had a calm personality, seeing this scene now, he felt a little excited.
He picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the light wine in the glass, suppressing those chaotic thoughts in an instant.
Wang Pu smoothed out his slightly wrinkled sleeves, picked up the wine glass again, and raised his hand towards Zhang Xiu who was standing by the railing.
"Youwei, drink this cup to congratulate His Majesty!"
"Winning victory, congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Zhang Xiu raised his head and drank the wine in his glass.
"It's just a small drink, I wish the Marquis to get what he wants, and I also wish your Majesty to take power as soon as possible!"
Outside Shenjing City, a figure was leaning against a pine tree with a long sword on his back, raising his gourd in the direction of Shenjing.
"This is the first time that I have played such a big gamble. Your Majesty, please don't let me lose all my money..."
The breeze blew slightly, followed by an undetectable murmur, but in the blink of an eye, the figure under the pine tree had disappeared.
Because the late emperor had not been buried yet, although Zhao Yu's residence was no longer the Imperial Study Room, it was not the Qianqing Hall, the main hall of the palace, but the Funing Hall, which was located on the left side of the main hall.
As soon as Zhao Yu entered the Funing Hall, Gao Lishi and a group of palace maids knelt down in front of him and said in unison:
"The slaves and maids congratulate Your Majesty on your enthronement!"
"Everyone, get up for me!"
Zhao Yu, who was in a good mood, waved his hands and said with a smile:
"You guys are good at picking the time. I happen to be in a good mood, Lux."
"The slave is here!"
Seeing Zhao Yu's roll call, Gao Lishi, who was lying on the ground, responded quickly.
"Tell the Secretary of the Interior to reward the palace residents according to the old rules when the new emperor ascends the throne. In addition, each person will receive an additional quarter's salary!"
When they heard that in addition to the normal rewards, they would also be given an additional three months' salary, these palace ladies suddenly began to breathe quickly.
"My servant, thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is truly a merciful king!"
"This slave is willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, even to the death!"
All of a sudden, there was a lot of flattery around Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu frowned and waved his hand to Gao Lishi to have someone lead them down.
Zhao Yu has a clear understanding of himself. He just did this just to win people's hearts.
As the Funing Hall became quiet, Zhao Yu asked Gao Lishi to find a pen and paper, and then wrote two names on it.
"Let a trustworthy person take this note to Mr. Wang and Youwei and tell them to wait at the gate of the palace tomorrow morning, and I will have someone take them into the palace."
Gao Lishi carefully put the note into his arms.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will let someone do it right now!"
This is the first time His Majesty has asked him to do something, and he has given such serious instructions, which shows that it is not a trivial matter and he cannot mess it up.
"Go down and do your work."
Zhao Yu waved his hand, sat on the armchair cushioned with dragon patterns, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Half an hour later, let them come in and undress me. Tomorrow is the court meeting, so we can't be careless."
Seeing this, Gao Lishi stood on tiptoe and lit a piece of calming incense in the corner, then quietly walked out of Funing Palace and gently closed the palace door.
Funing Palace gradually became quiet.
Zhao Yu, who was relaxed, opened the [Information] column with a thought.
In a flash of light, the information column was divided into two sections, [National Information] and [Monarch Information].
