That night.
Xia Capital City Gate.
The snow was falling heavily, the evening wind was biting, and the cold wind was like a knife, hurting my face.
The troops entering the city left a mottled footprint on the snow.
The generals on the top of the city were smiling as they watched the Changning Emperor's army return victoriously.
Yu Qinghan took off his armor and returned in triumph, with his black hair spread over his shoulders, walking at the front.
When the people in the capital's neighborhoods saw this scene, they all started discussing with joy.
"The general won!"
"Yes, she beat all those aliens away!"
"Great, no need to move. In recent days, I see a lot of people running south."
"Don't worry now. With the general here, this is the safest place."
Listening to the words on the street, Yu Qinghan's body, which had been exhausted for several days, couldn't help but relax a little.
Her phoenix eyes stared at the people on both sides of the road, and the belief in her heart became even stronger.
As long as I am alive, I cannot let war come to the people.
She will definitely be able to end this mess in the world just like she did three years ago.
Thinking like this, the carriage arrived at the palace in a short while.
In addition to the personal guards and Yu Qinghan, the other soldiers of the Changning Imperial Army returned to the military camp stationed in the capital for repairs.
Yu Qinghan returned to the palace.
But inside the palace, there was a deathly silence, and the palace palaces were not as brightly lit as before.
But it was extremely dark.
This made Yu Qinghan notice something was wrong, as if he thought of something, he frowned.
"follow me!"
She gave an order, strode towards the palace.
The surrounding soldiers quickened their pace and followed closely.
On the way, Yu Qinghan felt very anxious.
Now, the indomitable spirit of the Northern Wolf's army heading south has been broken by her. Even though the ten northern states are still in their hands, the capital is indeed temporarily out of crisis.
In other words, his prestige has been established, and if he wants to ascend the throne, no one can stop him.
Neither the ministers nor the clan elders could stop the general trend.
So for the queen mother and the young master, she planned to spare their lives.
The last thing she wanted to see at this joint.
It means that someone else has died.
Yu Qinghan came to Cining Palace.
The lantern at the entrance of Cining Palace was still on, but the blood-red color paired with the towering red walls made it inexplicably permeable.
Yu Qinghan took a closer look.
However, the palace guard at the door was bleeding all over the floor and was lying unconscious. It was obvious that a tragedy had occurred.
"boom!"
She kicked the door open, and the figure of the man in black appeared in her consciousness.
Seeing the door being opened, all the men in black looked towards the door to see who had broken in.
As soon as Yu Qinghan entered the door, he saw a graceful and luxurious woman lying in a pool of blood.
A five-year-old child was held in the hands of the man in black like a little chicken. He remained motionless and his breath had dissipated.
His pupils shrank, and a nameless anger surged into Yu Qinghan's heart.
The mana quickly gathered and was shot out from the air with a palm.
The sound was strong and fierce.
The terrifying force directly knocked several men in black flying backwards and hit the palace wall without making any sound.
Yu Qinghan's figure moved and instantly caught the child's body.
At the same time, feeling lucky in his heart, he sniffed the woman's breath on the ground.
Unfortunately, the person on the ground was already a cold corpse.
"Qinghan, what are you doing?"
A magnetic middle-aged man's voice came from the hall.
Changning King Pei Ming walked out of the hall at this time, with a very unhappy expression on his face.
Yu Qinghan looked cold and asked:
"Why did you kill the queen mother and the young master?"
"Why? They are your future troubles. If you don't want to keep the new emperor's best friends, they have some bad thoughts. If you don't get rid of them now, when will they get rid of them?"
Pei Ming said calmly.
"But I have promised them to give them a way to survive. Are you disobeying my order?"
Although Yu Qinghan's tone was calm, it was full of terrifying momentum.
The calmer you are, it means you are extremely angry inside.
"Qinghan, I hope you think clearly about who has supported you to this point. Is it possible that you want to turn against me for the sake of your enemies?"
Pei Ming said coldly.
In his opinion, he just did something very simple.
Keeping the queen mother and young master alone may cause disaster in the future.
It's better to kill him now, lest he become a pawn of some thoughtful people.
But in Yu Qinghan's eyes, this undoubtedly touched her bottom line.
Pei Ming ignored her orders and took matters into his own hands, which already explained some problems.
If something similar happens in the future, how should we deal with it?
Is it possible to let everything go?
If this time bomb is not resolved, her right to speak in the court will be restricted in the future.
But no matter what, the other person is also his uncle.
Besides, with Pei Xiangyun's relationship, it's even harder for me to touch him.
Thinking of this, Yu Qinghan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Seeing her like this, Pei Ming felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
He had a vague feeling.
Yu Qinghan will soon escape from his control.
The Changning Emperor's army went north and stood firm in the capital. This was what he wanted to see, so he did not interfere too much.
But when he saw her being open to the Queen Mother and her son, he felt something was wrong.
If you think about it carefully, she has become a leader now.
Both prestige and popular support are on her side, including the power of the military.
If he wanted to, he really didn't have much chance of winning.
It was only with the support of the two monks, Dragon and Tiger, that he forced the other party to agree to the conditions of becoming emperor.
Now that the two monks, Dragon and Tiger, have achieved their goal, they have left themselves.
Obviously, the person Xiao Lingyin Temple is interested in is Yu Qinghan, not him.
Could it be that he was tricked by people from the Immortal Sect?
"I hope something like this doesn't happen next time."
Yu Qinghan glanced at Pei Ming with deep eyes and warned.
Then turned and left.
Pei Ming looked at her back and his expression darkened.
"Your Majesty, the princess's tone is so aggressive. It seems that she is already dissatisfied with you, Your Majesty."
The subordinates on the side said fearfully.
"Do you even need to say this?"
"But there is no way. This throne must be occupied by my good niece. I can only think of other ways in the future."
On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, there is a slight cold.
The heavy snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped, and the entire Xia Capital Imperial City was covered in snow.
Under the eaves of every house in the capital, there is a long string of crystal clear ice edges that resemble fangs and are as thin as forearms.
The New Year is just around the corner, and many families are diligently preparing New Year’s goods.
After all, it has been almost four years since the founding of Daxia, and it has only been a dozen days.
In fact, the Xia Kingdom had been established as early as three or four years ago when Emperor Taizu was here, but the territory at that time was not as vast as it is now.
Dayan and Xia State still faced off for several years.
In the end, the Xia Kingdom won and inherited the unification.
But now, somehow, things have changed.
It had only been four years since the founding of the once arrogant Great Xia, and two emperors passed away at once.
It can be said that China is in turmoil and all the people are terrified.
But the people in the city heard that Daxia was about to usher in its third emperor.
Today is the day when the enthronement ceremony will be held.
In the imperial palace, the palaces are magnificent, row upon row, with high attics, stacked up layer by layer, close to the sky, fixed by golden pillars and coiled dragons. They look extremely majestic. The palace covers hundreds of miles around.
The towering red wall is like an insurmountable gap, blocking the world from peeking into the secrets of the palace.
Xiadu was the capital of Dayan in the previous dynasty, with a history of five hundred years.
Five hundred years ago, Yan Ancestor conquered the east and west, first slaying the evil spirits, then destroying the demons, and then determined the position of the first person of the Dingxian Sect to finally clean up the world and unify the world.
The reason why Yanzu chose this treasured land was because it was a land of bright stars, with crape myrtle in the sky and Lingshan Mountain in the ground, and the feng shui was excellent.
The so-called "Ziwei" means the Lord of the Stars, the Lord of the Emperor, and the ruler of the world.
The place is close to Lingshan Mountain, so there are few monsters raging around. Moreover, the water in the imperial capital is taken from Lingshan Mountain. The clear blue water first flows through Lingshan Mountain, and then slowly flows into the Xiadu.
The center of the palace is the Yangxin Hall, where the emperor lived his daily life.
At this time, there was a woman standing in front of the bronze mirror.
The sun was rising, gradually getting brighter, hanging over the capital, making the mirror shine.
Yu Qinghan took off his clothes, revealing his snow-white back and slender thighs, making him look tall.
She stretched out her jade-white fingers and touched the scar under her collarbone, thoughtfully.
There were eight palace maids waiting on her, dressing her in newly made clothes.
Wearing a wide, fiery red Fire Phoenix Emperor skirt with complicated gilt patterns, the length covered her ankles.
Daxia belongs to the fire virtue, so the main color of the dragon robe is red.
Yu Qinghan finally put on the imperial robe, but she looked at herself in the mirror with an expressionless face.
Then, the maids took out inkstones, flower buds, rouge boxes, makeup powder and other supplies to dress her up.
Attend the coronation ceremony that will take place later.
Dai inkstone is used to grind the eyebrows, making Yu Qinghan's willow-leaf eyebrows and red-phoenix eyes sharper. The rouge lips are pursed, making the red lips as arrogant as fire.
The long black hair is coiled on the top of the head, fixed by a jade hairpin with the wings of a phoenix, and paired with a heavy imperial crown, the whole person looks more solemn.
Soon, the makeup was completed.
Yu Qinghan looked as noble and cold as an iceberg.
The majesty contained in the phoenix eyes is like that of a supreme emperor, sacred and inviolable.
After taking a long time, the maids who finished their work bowed and said:
"Princess, it's time to ascend the throne."
"knew."
Yu Qinghan spoke calmly, his voice was pleasant, but with a hint of coldness and muteness.
The throne that he had fought for three years ago was now presented to him like this.
But she couldn't be happy at all.
Along the way.
The palace maid dragged her long imperial skirt until she walked into the door of Tianyou Palace.
The Tianyou Hall is the place of worship in Daxia. It is extremely empty and covers an area of nearly a kilometer. As far as the eye can see, there are only neat and symmetrical palaces.
No matter how empty it was, it was still overcrowded at the moment of the enthronement ceremony.
Daxia put together the rituals of succession, enthronement, and worship of heaven and earth.
Yu Qinghan's delicate face was extremely solemn, standing on the high platform of Tianyou Hall, overlooking everyone.
Everyone is already here, just waiting for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to recite the manuscript prepared in advance.
"Since the founding of the country by Taizu, there have been eight desolations, and the emperor and his ministers have been good."
"But now it's barbarians and Rongdi, and a pack of wolves is looking around."
After the lengthy ceremony, the official finally announced:
"The new emperor ascends the throne, the world is amnesty, and the Yuan Dynasty is prosperous."
As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening loud voice sounded from below.
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor!"
All the ministers kowtowed and bowed to the ground.
Daxia finally welcomed a female emperor.
Just when the ceremony was completed.
"Hey!"
A loud phoenix cry sounded.
Yu Qinghan seemed to feel something, and raised his pretty face.
Above the capital, a steady stream of flames condensed, and the phoenix was reborn.
Nine flame lotuses bloomed, revealing the face of the divine bird.
Nine tails and feathers, three crowns and phoenix head.
The news of the national destiny abnormality was huge, which shocked the officials at the scene.
This is the ancient phoenix. It is said that in ancient times, it was the top existence in mythology. You must know that phoenixes are also divided into levels.
The red phoenix, yellow phoenix, green phoenix, purple phoenix, and white phoenix are all phoenixes. Among them, the red one is the most respected and the king of phoenixes.
This is the new national destiny of Daxia, the nine-feathered red phoenix.
The red phoenix looks up to the sky and screams, spreading its wings and flying.
Warm power enveloped the entire Daxia capital, causing the people in the city to look up at the sky and glance sideways.
"Good omen! It's a good omen!"
"God bless Daxia, God bless Daxia!"
"The presence of this divine bird means that our Great Xia is about to usher in a prosperous age!"
Many Daxia veterans had tears of excitement on their faces when they saw this scene.
Whether they are young newly promoted scholars or veterans of three dynasties, they are all phoenixes looking at the sky with hope.
Now, as soon as the empress ascends the throne, the fate of the country is decided, and the red dragon turns into a phoenix, which is definitely an amazing good omen!
"Wow!"
After the red phoenix soared, it turned into a river of fire and came towards Yu Qinghan.
All the fire and flames penetrated into her body.
Soon after, the sky returned to calm.
A fire-shaped pattern appeared on his forehead.
Yu Qinghan felt the new powerful force pouring into his body and was very surprised.
Her cultivation level actually increased a lot.
It directly broke through the mid-term, reached the late stage of foundation building, and could break through again soon.
The perfect fairy root allowed her to practice and make rapid progress.
There are no bottlenecks at all.
As long as there is enough time, she is confident that it will definitely not be a problem to practice to become a god, and it can even be higher.
Yu Qinghan quickly came to his senses, looked at the ministers below with a solemn expression, and issued the first imperial order.
"Preach my will, recruit soldiers, release taxes, recuperate, repair armor, and fight the Northern Wolf again next year."
"Second, Jinzhou was promoted to Jinzhou Prefecture and placed under the personal control of the imperial court."
"Third, we must find a man within the four seas who will be of great use to me. His appearance will be drawn by the Imperial Academy in a moment."
After hearing the imperial edict, all the ministers looked at each other in confusion.
As soon as he ascended the throne, His Majesty issued three imperial orders in succession.
The first one is easy to say and understandable, but what do the last two mean?
"Did you hear that?"
Yu Qinghan's majestic voice came, full of doubt.
The ministers felt awe-inspiring and quickly kowtowed:
"As you command!"
After issuing the order, Yu Qinghan returned to the palace to rest.
On the way, she looked at the splendid palace, but she couldn't bring up any interest.
"vomit"
Suddenly, Yu Qinghan felt nauseous and wanted to vomit but couldn't.
"How is this going?"
She frowned, wondering secretly.
He quickly checked his physical condition.
There are obviously no problems with the meridians, the sea of qi, and the sea of consciousness.
So what went wrong?
Suddenly, she froze on the spot.
As if he realized something.
