Emperors of the Heavens: Summon the Governor of the East Factory at the beginning

Chapter 54 The new emperor ascends the throne, the regent Chu Yuan
"You...you mean that those 20 troops were killed by some fire cavalry and armor-piercing soldiers?"

Queen Mother Hua asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Queen Mother."

"Today all the adults witnessed the slaughter of 20 troops on the city wall. If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, you can feel free to ask a few adults."

said the eunuch.

"This……"

"how can that be……"

The eunuch's words rang out in the mind of Empress Dowager Hua like a bell.

The last trace of luck in her heart was wiped out.

Even an army of 20 people can't kill this rebellious traitor...

At this moment, Empress Dowager Hua seemed to have been drained of her last bit of strength, she staggered back a few steps, and finally collapsed directly on the phoenix chair behind her.

Thinking hard!
He never imagined that the power and background of a mere Zhenbei King could develop to such a terrifying level without even realizing it.

Not only the strength has reached the realm of heaven and man, but also the military power is in his hands, and even many important officials in the court are secretly attached to him.

The majestic Queen Mother actually had no say in the selection of the new emperor.

With the sentence "No political interference in the harem", she was thrown into eternal hell.

Judging from this situation, she only has two days left in her position as Queen Mother before she will be deposed.

How could Qin Wanqiu, the son of that despicable maid, be allowed to continue to serve as the queen mother in the harem after he ascended the throne?
What's more, there is Chu Yuan, a rebellious minister, watching him.

I heard that in order to take Concubine Qin and Jiang Ping away yesterday, they directly ordered the imperial army to execute the concubine who interfered.

Looking at this huge palace, Queen Mother Hua's mind was racing for a while. She never imagined that one day, she, the Queen Mother of the Harem, would stand at the top of power.

Unexpectedly, there is no sense of security in this palace.

…………

Time passed by and soon came the day when the new emperor came to the throne.

In the past few days, through building momentum in the court, all the people in the capital have known that the new emperor who is about to take the throne is the nineteenth prince of the previous emperor.

It can be said that the people did not have much impression of this prince.

After all, the imperial power was too far away from them, and when Emperor Jiang Rui encountered an unexpected incident, he had not yet established a prince!

But now that the nineteenth prince under the late emperor has been chosen to ascend the throne, presumably it is also the result of discussions among the officials.

In this case, who should be the emperor?

As a subject of the Da Cang Dynasty, it is just another person ruling the dynasty.

On this day, the sound of bells and cauldrons resounded endlessly in the palace.

Before Chen hour, all the officials from the capital had already gathered in the square in front of Cangtian Palace.

Everyone stood solemnly, and no one in the palace was whispering.

The first step for a new emperor to ascend the throne is to pay homage to heaven, earth and the ancestral temple.

Under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites, when the clock rang, Jiang Ping, who was wearing a royal robe, walked out directly from the Cangtian Palace with the support of the eunuch.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites came forward and read some complicated and lengthy sacrificial texts.

However, Jiang Ping, who had just turned seven, was led to a huge altar on the square like a puppet.

On the altar, bell millet minced meat and incense burner with sandalwood have already been placed, and there is a huge cauldron not far away.

This is what is needed to worship heaven and earth.

"The new emperor ascends the throne, worship heaven and earth!"

"Ministers, kneel!"

……

The officials of the Ministry of Rites shouted loudly, and the sound spread directly throughout the square.

Then the officials did not dare to delay, and quickly knelt down.

At this time, an eunuch immediately came up to the stage, lit the sandalwood, and handed it to Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping took it dully, and at the eunuch's signal, he bowed and placed it on the incense burner in front of him.

Almost at the same time that Jiang Ping bowed to worship, the ministers also worshiped Heaven and Earth simultaneously.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites continued to read out the memorial inscriptions, and a memorial inscription stating that Jiang Ping ascended the throne as the new emperor of the Da Cang Dynasty was also directly lit.

Then he put it directly into the cauldron beside the altar.

The flames burned brightly until the ashes of the sacrificial cultivator slowly rose.

"Heaven and earth learn from each other, bless me!"

"Heaven and earth learn from each other, bless me!"

……

Waves of loud shouts came from the square. Jiang Ping and the officials once again leaned down to pay homage to heaven and earth. This process of worshiping heaven and earth was finally completed.

After the procedure of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth was completed, all civil and military officials surrounded the new emperor and went to the ancestral temple.

After another bunch of tedious and lengthy procedures, nearly two hours passed before the ministers returned to Cangtian Palace.

At this moment, it is the second procedure to enter the enthronement ceremony.

All officials paid homage to the new emperor and performed the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.

In Cangtian Hall, after several hours of being restrained by etiquette, Jiang Ping's face was full of exhaustion at this moment.

But he kept in mind what his mother told him, no matter how hard it was, nothing could go wrong in today's ceremony.

Although Jiang Ping was dull and seemed a little slow, he listened very well to his mother's words and was quite stubborn.

Therefore, no matter how tired he was, he survived.

Hundreds of officials paid homage and performed the courtesy of kings and ministers.

After this procedure is completed, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony is mostly over.

Next, it is necessary to inform the world and let all the subjects of Da Cang Dynasty know that the current dynasty has a new emperor.

Only in this way can it be regarded as true Dinggu innovation.

But these things are all handled by someone afterwards.

Today, for Jiang Ping, there was one thing that his mother had repeatedly asked him to do. He needed to do it immediately and there was no room for any delay.

Jiang Ping, who looked a little thin, was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the hundreds of officials paying homage below, a little timid but gritting his teeth and insisting on waving:
"Everyone... all the gentlemen are in peace."

"Thanks my emperor."

……

The ministers got up.

But at this moment, Jiang Ping took out a roll of imperial edict from his arms and handed it directly to a middle-aged and slightly fat eunuch next to him.

This eunuch was none other than Yang Rong, who used to be the third-rank eunuch in charge of the harem.

Now that he is in Chu Yuan's eyes, his status will naturally rise.

Now he has directly become the third-rank Ouchi governor.

Responsible for taking care of the new emperor's future food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Under the watchful eyes of all the officials, Yang Rong uncovered the imperial edict handed over by Jiang Ping that had already been sealed with the national seal.

He swept it over without hesitation and started reading it directly in front of all the officials in the court.

"Decree: Holy benevolence, great luck, everything that happens in heaven and earth, respects the emperor's order."

"I have just ascended the throne, but I am still young and unable to handle state affairs on my own."

"Now there is Chu Yuan, the king of Zhenbei, who is loyal to the emperor and the country, and manages the country well. He is the pillar of the dynasty, the magic needle that anchors the sea, and has made great contributions to the dynasty."

"Today, in accordance with God's will, the king of Zhenbei is granted the title of King Shenwei of the Dynasty, and he is given the power to assist the country as regency."

"Promote King Shenwei as the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Dynasty's troops, commanding the army and horses of the world. In the future, the deployment of all troops and horses of the dynasty will be decided by King Shenwei!"

"In addition, as an emperor, I worship King Shenwei as my son-in-law, and allow him to enter the court without going after him. I walk on the sword in the palace, and I do not pay homage to him. Seeing King Shenwei is like seeing me!"

"Announce it to the world, and the emissary will hear about it, so please do so!"
