In order to let all the people of the empire know the news about His Majesty the Emperor's coronation as soon as possible, even if it is difficult, the propaganda department of the empire still does its best, even if it is temporarily unable to let televisions and holographic projections enter thousands of households, it is responsible for The Imperial Liaison Officer who organized the news media still set up many giant screen projections in major densely populated towns to watch live broadcasts.
Of course, these valuable high-tech equipment are also kindly sponsored by Qunxing Group. Thanks to the group's ever-increasing productivity, many rural residents, including many who have not yet been properly resettled, can at least learn everything about the coronation ceremony through radio and radio.
At this point, Edward finally realized his dream - to let the 200 million humans in this dark land hear his voice and rejoice in the light that comes with it.
First, he used a gentle tone to extend cordial greetings to the people of the empire who were watching or listening to the live ceremony. Edward pointed his young and handsome face at the camera of the Imperial Propaganda Department, using the ruins of the completely destroyed castle as the backdrop for his speech. background, personally telling them the good news that the last enemy of the empire had been completely annihilated.
This not only meant that Edward had perfectly fulfilled the promise he had made to his people when he was the regent of the Kingdom of Leon, but also greatly deterred the disloyal aristocratic forces within the empire that still existed.
After all, it takes a lot of courage to rebel under the nose of an army capable of conquering the world. It is foreseeable that unless there is a huge change in the empire in the future, these shrewd old guys will not be loyal to their former monarch. , and it is absolutely impossible to risk the annihilation of the entire clan to confront the empire.
The public support of Edward in the newly established provinces of the empire was basically stable. After the imperial officials responsible for administration took office, they naturally would not continue to keep these useless vases to handle government affairs for him. The best outcome for these old nobles is to be like the nobles of the original Kingdom of Leon, being deprived of their hereditary titles and surviving as ordinary rich men.
Finally, under the spotlight, Yang Tianyi, who was wearing a gorgeous papal purple robe, slowly came to Edward's side. Behind him were several people wearing red robes. The so-called "cardinal" whom Harland had found from nowhere. "To enhance the public's understanding of the organization and legality of the Star Sect.
As the state religion of the empire, it is also a tool to strengthen its rule. The teachings and ideas of the Star Sect are by no means comparable to ordinary religions in terms of breadth and inclusiveness. As believers and members of the Cult of Stars, they do not need to worship a certain god or a special group unconditionally. On the contrary, it is their existence that prevents the god's flawless crown from becoming dusty.
In the newly compiled religious canons, Pope Yang Tianyi and Emperor Edward I clearly pointed out that even the most devout believers need to rely on their own hard work to obtain happiness and the blessing of the Lord of the Stars. For those who are lazy and do not seek progress, In other words, even if they live their entire lives, the omnipresent Lord of the Stars will not pay attention to them.
As for what kind of existence the Lord of the Stars is, the classics do not give a specific description, but call him "the creator and protector of all beautiful things." In order to convince the public, the Propaganda Department will package the high-tech products that have sprung up in the empire as miracles created by the Lord of the Stars, leading believers to perceive the divinity attached to them.
In order to show the kindness and tolerance of the Lord of the Stars, the classics also say that he has spread the divine power to create beautiful things to every citizen of the empire, so that today they can achieve happiness that they could not even imagine in the past through hard work. Life.
“As long as you firmly believe in His existence, then this divine power will always stay by your side, accompanying you when you are alive, leading you to happiness, pointing you to the path to the afterlife when you pass away, and protecting your soul. Not lost.”
This is the statement made by all missionaries of the stars before preaching to the people. There are no strict or even unacceptable requirements for believers who want to convert, such as donating property or spending a lot of time in prayer, etc. , and there is not too much complicated and difficult-to-understand content, so that people can understand before converting that the reason why the Stars Sect can become the state religion of the empire is because it is completely different from the heretical beliefs in the past that only knew how to exploit the people's wealth and anointing.
Because of this, even though neither Edward nor Yang Tianyi had authorized the imperial government to hold any large-scale missionary activities, relying solely on the personal actions of missionaries and missionary robots, the number of registered converts of the Star Sect was increasing rapidly by the hour. increase.
Among them, more than half of the more than 20 million people in Leon alone voluntarily abandoned their original beliefs and chose to bask in the glory of the Lord of the Stars and enjoy happiness.
Of course, this is also related to Edward's policy and personal charm of loving the people like his own son. If the Lord of the Stars is a god who looks down on all living beings from outside the sky, then His Majesty the Emperor is the envoy of God walking on the earth, tasked with making the empire prosperous.
In contrast to those heretical sects that only pay taxes and pay taxes, it is not difficult to understand why people would choose the Stars Sect without hesitation.
However, in order to confirm Edward's identity as the messenger of God, it is natural that Yang Tianyi, as the pope, will complete the last piece of the puzzle - let the nominal true god incarnate, and his identity is also highly respected, to be the sole ruler of the Hughes Empire and human civilization. His Majesty Edward I was crowned.
Yang Tianyi glanced at Edward and confirmed that the other party was ready. He turned sideways and picked up the heavy golden crown symbolizing imperial power from the gilded tray held by a cardinal behind him. The gemstones of different colors represent the seven kingdoms that were divided before the empire was unified, and the exquisite relief on the surface of the golden crown is the product of craftsmen combining the laurel leaf elements of the Crown of Leon.
Although he had expected this moment to come, a smile inevitably appeared on Edward's face. He knew that he was not a genius in governing the country and could lead the barren duchy all the way to where it is today. He was slightly The rigid lord system and a group of loyal subordinates accounted for at least seventy percent of the success.
Therefore, he did not take the crown from the pope like his idol Napoleon, the God of War emperor, and crown himself with his own hands to show his authority. Instead, he bowed his head humbly and allowed the man who had a higher status in his mind to be even more important than his idol. The tall man puts a golden crown on himself.
"It seems that from today on, Harland and I will call you Your Majesty."
After putting the crown firmly on Edward's smooth blond hair, Yang Tianyi laughed softly: "How is it? Is it heavier or lighter than expected?"
Perhaps he didn't expect that the other party would make a joke on such a serious occasion. Edward was stunned for a moment and then replied without thinking: "Not too light, not too heavy, just right."
Since the two men deliberately lowered their voices while chatting, the people in front of the TV and holographic projection could not hear what they said. However, in their simple eyes, His Majesty the Pope and His Majesty the Emperor, who are more than ten thousand people, must definitely Are you discussing some major national affairs?
So in a peaceful atmosphere, the coronation ceremony came to an end. At this point, the Xius Empire and her countless people will also usher in her and their first year. However, unlike the dynasties that have been constantly changing in history, this time, every citizen of the empire sincerely hopes that the dynasty of this new country can continue forever.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live His Majesty the Pope!! Long live the Sussian Empire!!!"
While watching the fireworks display with the bright starry sky as the background, you can drink the mellow wine that is only available during festivals. Whether it was the snowfields in the northern polar regions, the bustling towns along the rivers in the hinterland of the empire, or the seemingly desolate but increasingly popular Gobi Desert in the west, at this moment the skies above them all echoed with the enthusiastic cheers and shouts of the people. .
Because today is the coronation day of their emperor; today is the beginning of the empire's ten thousand years of reign.
