This is just a situation that must be resolved. Xiao Yuan needs the imperial flag in Shang Rui's hands to make his throne justifiable.
The Qin Palace, which lasted for nearly two years, is also coming to an end.
Next, due to the cumbersome etiquette at the time, Xiao Yuan adopted Shangguan Wenruo's words, began to fast and meditate, take a bath and change clothes, and then held a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven and formally aspired to the throne.
At this time, civil and military officials from all over the country naturally began to rush back to Qinzhou.
The palace of Qin also began to be defended by a large number of Qin troops, which became the royal palace's forbidden army. Naturally, this army was composed of the most elite soldiers selected from various armies.
The palace is preparing for Xiao Yuan's enthronement ceremony, and for such a grand event, all departments under Xiao Yuan naturally want to participate in it.
But someone was stopped.
In Wuwei Mansion, Ye Cheng was losing his temper. He had thrown the bamboo slips on the table to the ground. On both sides below, there were officers of all levels standing. Seeing that the superior officer was angry, they all lowered their bodies tightly.
"Why! Huh!? Why!"
Ye Cheng said angrily: "Why is it that our Wuwei Mansion is not included in such a great founding event?"
"Listen...listen to them, Wuwei Mansion is not an army..." an officer replied carefully.
"Fart!" Ye Cheng was furious and said: "The Wuwei Mansion was also established by the Lord! It is also serving the country! It is serving the Lord! It is also an important official office of the country! Why are we not allowed to participate!"
As he spoke, he added: "It must be those civil servants who are causing trouble. No, I'm going to ask for an audience with the lord."
He left as soon as he said so. All the officers looked at each other and wanted to say something, but they didn't dare.
As the chief of the Wuwei Mansion, Ye Cheng, given his rank, was of course required to attend the ceremony. However, on the day Xiao Yuan came to the throne, the sergeants were bound to line up, and the soldiers from each ministry would select the best to go to the palace. However, there was no Wuwei Mansion among them. , which made Ye Cheng a little unhappy.
At this time, Xiao Yuan was also discussing something with Liu Yuzhi in the study. On the desk in front of him were rolls of bamboo slips, which were letters from civil servants at all levels. Their contents were nothing more than praising virtues.
After reading another scroll of bamboo slips, Xiao Yuan closed it and put it aside, shook his head and said with a smile: "This Li Minggui almost praised me as the reincarnation of a god. I feel a little embarrassed when I read it."
"And this Jiang Yi, he looks like a dragon and a phoenix. His words are gorgeous, but they are all empty words and should not be adopted."
Liu Yuzhi heard this and said tentatively: "Then, in my lord's opinion, which lord's letter should be the best for the enthronement edict?"
Xiao Yuan thought for a while and said: "Just use Liu Changqing's, it's concise and clear."
"Okay, I'll go down and make arrangements now," Liu Yuzhi said.
"Go ahead."
Liu Yuzhi bowed and retreated. Immediately afterwards, Xu Hu stepped in, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, Lord Ye Cheng wants to see you."
"Let him come in." Xiao Yuan didn't think much.
"promise!"
Not long after, Ye Cheng entered. After seeing Xiao Yuan, he naturally bowed deeply: "See you, my lord."
"No need to be polite, what's the matter?" Xiao Yuan asked directly.
"This..." Ye Cheng hesitated, not knowing how to speak, and secretly glanced at Xiao Yuan's face.
Originally, Xiao Yuan was sorting the bamboo slips, but seeing that he was silent, he couldn't help but paused with his hands, raised his head and said, "What's wrong?"
"He is such a lord." Ye Cheng organized his speech and said: "In a few days, it will be the lord's enthronement ceremony, which is also the founding day of our Qin Kingdom. For such a grand event, all the ministries in the country will select elite soldiers to form an array. Guard, but why... why is there no Wuwei Mansion, my lord?"
So that’s what happened.
As Xiao Yuan is the master, he naturally does not have to do everything personally. This matter is also arranged by the officials in charge of etiquette, but he actually does not know about it.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Ye Cheng continued: "My lord, although the Wuwei Mansion is not an army, it was established by my lord. Now that the country is about to be founded, how can it be without this department? I hope my lord will learn from it."
After listening to what he said, Xiao Yuan said in a funny way: "What is the specific date of Wang Dian's day? The official document has not yet reached me. It is still being arranged. Who did you listen to?"
As he spoke, he added: "Wuwei Mansion is the top priority, so of course we must participate."
"Really, my lord?" Ye Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Okay, okay, you go down first."
"Yes! I resign from my humble position." Ye Cheng saluted with satisfaction and left.
A few days later, the large square in the palace was covered with black armor and red tassels.
Countless officers and soldiers of the Qin army, with their halberds standing in a row, and their military appearance strong, were arranged into two square formations on the left and right, leaving a wide passage in the middle.
In front, there are civil and military personnel at all levels, all wearing official uniforms, looking forward to it.
Going up the steps is the Qin Dynasty Hall.
Not long after, Xiao Yuan appeared.
Wearing a black and red royal robe, a royal crown on his head, nine strings of jade beads on his forehead, and a sword of the King of Qin hanging on his waist, he walked through the passage between the soldiers of the two armies and walked up the steps step by step.
A majestic horn sounded.
Everyone's eyes stayed on him.
His two wives, Gu Xue and Zhong Duoduo, also stood in front of the officials to watch the ceremony, watching him nervously.
The man she loves is about to assume the position of king, which would make any woman nervous.
Xiao Yuan stepped up the steps step by step. He was also a human being. Of course, there were turbulence in his heart, but he tried hard to suppress it.
At the same time, Shangguan Wenruo was at the top of the steps, unfolded a silk book, and began to read aloud:
"The land in the northwest, where Qin is located, has always been bitter and cold, and the people are in dire straits. Since Xiao Yuan, the prefect, took office, he has often thought about the hardships and tried to implement reforms. He retreated to Xirong, repaired internal affairs, defended against foreign enemies, strengthened the military and civilians, enriched the people, and paid tribute to the people. Then, in order to make the land of Qin prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment, now, following the will of heaven and obeying the people's will, I am the king of Qin..."
After Shangguan Wenruo finished reading, Xiao Yuan almost reached the top of the steps. Then, he turned around and looked at the civil and military officials and countless soldiers below. He pulled out the King of Qin Sword and said in a loud voice:
"Today, Xiao Yuan, as the monarch of Qin, swears an oath here! From now on, he must be self-restrained and diligent, work hard to govern, and make Qin the most powerful country that is proud of all the other countries in China!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone below him knelt down at that moment.
Shangguan Wenruo, who was right next to him, had his head tilted to the side and his buttocks raised high.
All the officials fell to the ground, and the soldiers knelt on one knee with pestles and halberds in their hands.
"My king will live for ten thousand years! Qin will live for ten thousand years!"
"My king will live for ten thousand years! Qin will live for ten thousand years!"
In the majestic palace, the lower part is densely packed with people kneeling, flags are fluttering, halberds stand in many places, and there is no end as far as the eye can see.
The shouts shook the sky and lasted for a long time.
The scene was spectacular.
This is a true king!
