Chapter 463: successful enthronement
Even if there are contradictions within the empire, it is also a family matter, and no outsiders are needed to intervene. But now the Pope actually sent the Holy Maiden to intervene in the affairs of the empire, which made the faces of many ministers very ugly.
No matter how powerful the Holy See of Light is, it cannot interfere in the affairs of the Purple Dragon Empire. The first person who dared to stand up was Bai Gao. He had a bad life and was not afraid of death. There was really no one he dared not offend.
Bai Gao said: "Holy daughter, none of the officials in our empire invited the saint to be a guest in our empire, and it is still the mourning period of the emperor of our empire. There is no time to entertain the saint for the time being, and I hope the saint will forgive me."
The saint said: "The cause of your majesty's death is unknown, and the Dark Holy See has been active in your country recently, so the Pope asked me to come and investigate. If the Dark Holy See killed your majesty, you have a target for revenge, otherwise everyone All will be at ease, why not do it.”
"The Holy Maiden is right, so everyone will be relieved."
"Yeah yeah......"
Ximen He also said at the right time: "Since the Holy Maiden is willing to intervene in this matter, it would be even better. Everyone can trust the credibility of the Holy See."
The Holy See of Light stepped in, and Ximen He was happy to see it. He is now alone, and if the Holy See of Light is willing to take care of this matter, it means one more ally, and it is still a strong ally.
Ye Jiantian was silent for so long, and at this time he finally spoke up and said, "Since the saint came with good intentions, how could we refuse! Queen, let the saint have her body examined, so that my colleagues can rest assured."
Yuwen Haoran was really interesting, and he also stood up to support his friend, saying: "The old marshal is right, the saint has come so far, we can't refuse."
Nangong Xiong said: "I agree."
"The ministers also agree." Most ministers said.
Many people in the field finally recognized the situation. The three big families have already worn a pair of pants, and now the Ximen family is still struggling to support. The Ximen family is now in turmoil, and if they are not careful, they will capsize and die.
Ryana looked at the ministers and was very unhappy. This was obviously forcing the palace, but the current displeasure was still faked. He is a dignified devil princess, how can he care about them clowns. Now it's just fulfilling Ye Shengtian's order.
Ruiana said: "Since you all want to see it, it's not good for Aijia to block it. Come and open it so that the saint and the ministers can see clearly."
With an order, the four guards immediately stepped forward to open the coffin.
Yongin's body was gradually exposed to the air. I saw that Longren was wearing a dragon robe, and the body was covered with brocade silk. The rest of the place was filled with countless rare treasures, which should be his favorite treasures during his lifetime.
After the coffin was opened, the Holy Maiden flew up and landed firmly beside the coffin without making a sound. The saint looked at Longren in the coffin. At this time, Longren's face was very peaceful, as if he left without any regrets.
Very few civilians die peacefully, let alone emperors. This phenomenon is not normal at all. The Holy Maiden carefully observed it around the coffin and found nothing else. The only suspicious thing is that it died too peacefully.
The saint frowned and pondered for a while, but did not come up with the reason for this, so she could only say: "Your Majesty walked very peacefully, not like being harmed by bad guys."
The saint said this, and there are more people who believe it. Ximen He couldn't believe his own eyes, he hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, as expected by the Holy Maiden, Longren's face was very serene.
Ximen He collapsed directly beside the coffin, crying bitterly. The ministers below all praised Ximen He for being loyal to the Lord, but how could they know that he was crying that his years of hard work were in vain, that he was crying about the way out for the Ximen family after he was crying, and that he was crying whether the Ximen family would be buried in his hands inside.
Ryana said: "Since the saint has already checked, let's go to the burial again. If any minister still has doubts, you can come and have a look."
Ryana's eyes swept to the ministers below, and the ministers who were swept by her gaze lowered their heads.
Ryana glanced around and continued: "Since no one has any objections, the funeral will be held in three days, and the new emperor will be enthroned in five days. These things will be handled by the Ministry of Rites, and other departments will coordinate."
Three days later, at the funeral, Longren was buried in the area of Zhuling, where the soil is dry and there are many rocks, suitable for burial. Zhu Mausoleum is also the place where the empires of all dynasties were buried. At the beginning of Yongren's ascension to the throne, he began to recruit a large number of migrant workers to build tombs for himself.
There are some villages outside Zhu Mausoleum. The people of these villages are the people who guard the mausoleum. Their task for generations is to guard the mausoleum. Every month, someone will come to bring them daily necessities and salaries. By the way, check again whether the mausoleum has been entered. .
On the day of the burial, Long Yuxuan was accompanied by Ye Shengtian and Nangong Aoxue. At first, Long Yuxuan couldn't believe the news of her father's sudden death, but the saintess and others had already experienced the corpse, and they were not killed. Despite this, Long Yuxuan still cried so much that she was dying, and Ye Shengtian was with her for a day and a night, so she felt better.
Two days later, the new emperor of the empire was about to ascend the throne. Due to the rush of time and imperfect preparations, the dragon robe was made overnight. When Longren was mourning, all the lords had already arrived in the imperial capital. After that, he did not return to the territory for the time being, and would not leave until he participated in the new emperor's enthronement.
The weather today is sunny and cloudy, with a slight breeze, very cool. Early in the morning, before dawn, officials entered the palace through the East Palace Gate, and everyone was closely inspected, trying not to let one person sneak in with weapons.
After dawn, the palace was busy, and everyone came in and out with smiles on their faces. At noon and mid-afternoon, first worship the ancestors, then put on the crown, then put on the yellow robe, and then accept the pilgrimage of officials.
When these procedures are over, send other unrelated personnel back. Long Yuxuan and the ministers entered the Xuanzheng Hall to discuss matters. Long Yuxuan was the first emperor, and she didn't know anything about the empire. It was really hard for her to let him handle things now.
Fortunately, Ye Shengtian made arrangements in advance last night to let her know what to say today, so as not to leave a laughing stock.
"My first-class treasure, 100 million people share the joy, the whole country is exempt from tax for one year, and all prisoners in various places are released, and the death row can be released after five years."
"Each official's official position remains the same, and they perform their own duties, but the salary is doubled. The specific matters are arranged by the prime minister."
"Strengthen the empire's military property expenditure, and the border must be heavily guarded to prevent the entry of the enemy like the last incident."
"The enemy country will set up an additional department as the inspection department, and the officials of the inspection department are dedicated to inspecting talents for the empire. As long as they are talented people, no matter whether they are poor or cheap, rich or noble, old and young, male or female, they can be in The Empire is an official."
. . . . . .
Long Yuxuan just started to say a series of policies, many ministers couldn't believe it, it was said from the mouth of a teenage girl. Now they finally understood the meaning of the late emperor, and they all shouted in their hearts that the late emperor was wise.
However, there are still some ministers who are not happy, because the common people can become officials, and the advantages of these nobles are much smaller, which touches the interests of their nobles. It's just that none of the four major families have stood up against it, and they even dared not stand up against it.
As the saying goes, no one is willing to be the first to be shot by a gun. The three new officials still burn three fires, but the emperor's three fires can't be burned, otherwise, the family will be destroyed.
Once everything is arranged, let them back off. The ministers have been working hard all day, their legs are sore, and they are still hungry and tired. They want to leave early, so they all shouted long live when they heard the new emperor let them go.
Long Yuxuan returned to the bedroom, where her father used to live, and now it is naturally her residence. As soon as she entered the palace, Long Yuxuan screened the maid and the eunuch. After all the maids backed away, Ye Shengtian came out of the darkness.
When Long Yuxuan saw Ye Shengtian, she immediately threw herself into his arms and said, "You are not allowed to leave today. Haha, you are my beloved concubine, you must obey me obediently in the future, otherwise I will... ."
Ye Shengtian felt a little funny said: "Otherwise what?"
Long Yuxuan said, "Otherwise...or I will reward you to those eunuchs."
Ye Shengtian made an exaggerated expression and said, "Wow, it won't be so frustrating, the villain promises to serve His Majesty well in the future."
Long Yuxuan said: "This is what you said, I didn't force you."
Ye Shengtian said: "Of course, the emperor's orders, how dare Wei Chen disobey."
Long Yuxuan said, "That's good. Come and change my clothes."
Ye Shengtian said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Oh, you touched the wrong place, it's not here, haha, I'm itchy, you're bad, I'm going to kill you."
That night, Ye Shengtian stayed in the palace. One night romance is for sure. Now the palace is Ye Shengtian's territory. He wants to come, and he also wants to welcome all his wives, so that he doesn't have to run back and forth, and more importantly, there are so many beautiful women in the palace, Ye Shengtian Also reluctant to leave.
