The Double Dragon World of the Tang Dynasty.

Daxing City, Imperial Palace.

Yang Guang summoned all the ministers and held a court meeting.

"Zhou Li" says: "In spring, it is called Chao, in summer it is called Zong, in autumn it is called Zhi, in winter it is called Yu, when it is seen it is called Hui, and when it is seen in Yin it is called Tong."

The Great Chao Hui began in the Western Zhou Dynasty and was the highest-level ceremonial ritual. It was inherited from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Generally speaking, a large court meeting is held at the beginning of each year for civil and military officials to meet the emperor.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor rarely held court meetings unless there was something very important to announce.

Coincidentally, Yang Guang held a court meeting this time to announce important events.

In front of all the civil and military officials, Yang Guang first issued an imperial edict, complaining bitterly about the wrong measures he had taken since taking the throne and admitting his mistakes.

Then, under the confused and puzzled eyes of all the ministers, he issued an edict to abdicate, relinquishing the position of Emperor of the Sui Dynasty and the supreme authority in the world to Xiao Longnu.

As soon as these two edicts came out, the whole city of Daxing was in an uproar, and the news even spread to the whole world, causing shock throughout the world.

With Yang Guang's arrogance and unruliness, he would never be able to bow his head and admit his mistake even if he died, let alone hand over the throne to others.

But when Xiao Longnu stepped into the hall, all the civil and military officials bowed their heads, and no one dared to raise objections.

Yesterday, they communicated with each other and knew what happened in the palace, as well as the destruction of Jing Nian Temple outside the city.

Faced with a powerful man who smashed the holy land of martial arts with one palm and whose strength was suspected to be that of the Shattered Void Realm, who would dare to explode?Do you think you have a long life?

There are many clans in the world, headed by the four clans, namely the Yuwen clan, the Dugu clan, the Li clan and the Lingnan Song clan.

You Chuhong, the ancestor of the Dugu Clan, was the most shrewd. After seeing the situation clearly, he immediately expressed his loyalty to Xiao Longnu.

Although the Yuwen Clan had a grudge against Xiao Longnu, and the current generation of the family, Jie Yuwen Wenji, died at the hands of Xiao Longnu, they would not risk their family's safety for a dead person. With Xiao Longnu, the supreme power in the Broken Void Realm, Those who do it right.

Two of the four great clans in the world had clearly stated their position. The other small clans had nothing to say. They followed closely behind and supported Xiao Longnu's ascension to the throne.

The world's situation has changed in an instant, and the position of the Nine-Five Supreme Being has changed hands.

Seeing the "sincere" approval from the civil and military officials, Xiao Longnu announced that she would officially ascend the throne in three days.

After retiring from the court, Xiao Longnu and Yang Guang came to the harem hand in hand.

"I didn't expect that none of the officials would oppose your ascension to the throne. I thought I had loyal ministers, but I didn't expect there to be any."

Yang Guang said in despair: "In this world, strength is indeed respected, and personal strength is so strong that it ignores the world's political power."

Although he said he would abdicate, he was still a little reluctant in his heart.

He thought that he had made a sinful edict, fully realized his mistake, and regained the recognition of the officials. If the ministers were reluctant to let him abdicate, wouldn't he still be able to continue to be the emperor?
Unexpectedly, these guys would accept Xiao Longnu's succession so happily, leaving him, the former emperor, aside.

"What, you can't bear to let go?"

Xiao Longnu couldn't see the reluctance in Yang Guang's eyes, so she teased.

"To be honest, I'm a little bit reluctant to give up, but as a man, I keep my word."

After Yang Guang gritted his teeth and made a decision, he asked anxiously: "What are you going to do with me?"

He had already issued an edict to abdicate, which was no longer of use to Xiao Longnu.

It would be a big loss if Xiao Longnu planned to kill him.

"Don't worry, as long as you are honest, I won't kill you."

"I've said before that you won't be the emperor. Just stand aside and take a good look at how I became the emperor."

Xiao Longnu waved her hand and gave Yang Guang a reassurance.

She had no ill feelings towards Yang Guang, and there was no point in killing him. It was better to keep him alive.

"Thank you for not killing me. I can finally sleep peacefully."

Yang Guang's face showed a look of ecstasy. After thanking him solemnly, he laughed at himself.

Later, Yang Guangze officially moved out of the palace and lived in a three-in house in the outer city.

In a blink of an eye, it was three days later.

In the Jinluan Palace, a little dragon girl in a black dragon robe sat on a dragon chair, looking down at the civil and military officials below.

The old eunuch sent by Yin Kui, who had had contact with Xiao Longnu before, stood aside and still acted as the chief eunuch for Xiao Longnu.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Heaven, has issued an edict: I, the Dragon Aotian, have inherited the destiny of Heaven's favor, and have been honored by the great saints. I have been granted the Zen throne of the former emperor Yang Guang. I follow the ethical order and adhere to the orthodoxy. All the ministers inside and outside have repeatedly urged us to advance, but we have refused." I would like to declare to heaven and earth at this time that I am the emperor. The name of the country is Zhou, Jianyuan Yong'an, Daxing is changed to Chang'an, and Chang'an is the capital."

After all the officials stood still, the old eunuch took out Xiao Longnu's accession edict and read it loudly.

Despite the bells and whistles of the enthronement edict, the actual content is very simple and only mentions two key points.

One is the legitimacy of Xiao Longnu's accession to the throne. It is not a conspiracy to usurp the throne, nor is it a rebellion, but comes from the Zen throne of the former emperor Yang Guang.

Second, the name of the new dynasty was Zhou. There would no longer be a Great Sui Dynasty, but only a Great Zhou Dynasty. The reign name would be Yong'an, and the capital Daxing City would be changed to Chang'an City.

Xiao Longnu was too lazy to worry about enthroning the throne and left everything to the officials. She was only responsible for naming the new dynasty and era.

As for other messy enthronement procedures and heaven-sacrifice rituals, they were naturally spared as much as possible, and no one dared to say anything.

While retaining the royal majesty, it also saved Xiao Longnu a lot of effort.

"Every official kneels down to welcome the new emperor to the throne!"

After the old eunuch finished reading the edict of enthronement, the old eunuch shouted loudly with a sharp voice.

All the civil and military officials below knelt down in unison.

The old eunuch shouted again: "Shanhu!"

All the ministers shouted: "Long live!"

The old eunuch shouted again: "Shanhu!"

All the ministers shouted: "Long live!"

The old eunuch shouted again: "Zaishanhu!"

All the ministers shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Everyone is flat!"

Xiao Longnu's clear voice resounded throughout the hall.

The old eunuch shouted: "Every official rises up!"

The civil and military ministers below all stood up, bowed their heads and lowered their eyebrows, standing respectfully.

All the officials knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times to formally bow down to the new emperor, which was considered to be a complete confirmation of the identity of the emperor and his ministers.

"If you have a book to play, you can't leave the court without a book!"

After the ministers stood still again, the old eunuch shouted loudly, announcing that the first court meeting after Xiao Longnu ascended the throne had officially begun.

Unexpectedly, after the old eunuch finished shouting, all the officials below fell silent, and there was silence above the court.

Regarding this strange new emperor, the ministers did not know her temperament and character, so they dared not say a word to avoid getting into trouble.In the past few days, the news of Xiao Longnu's destruction of Jing Nian Chan Monastery has spread completely, revealing a corner of Xiao Longnu's mysterious veil.

Unknown origin, powerful, young!

The first time he appeared in public was in Yangzhou City, where he beat Yu Wenhuaji to death with one palm.

Then, she appeared in the palace again and found the former emperor Yang Guang.

Then, she destroyed the martial arts holy place Jing Nian Temple with one palm, forcing Yang Guang to abdicate.

Facing such a supremely powerful man and not knowing his character and temper, who would dare to talk nonsense?
If she gets angry and orders the person who came out to be dragged down and killed, then it would be an unjust death!
At the same time, although the ministers showed no expression on their faces, they actually wanted to see the new emperor's joke in their hearts.

Throughout the entire history of China, such a sudden change of dynasties has never happened before.

All civil and military officials in the court were also confused and didn't know how to respond.

Under normal circumstances, the person who changes the dynasty is the ancestor of a country, and he has gathered a group of civil servants, military generals or ministers from the dragon.

This kind of emperor always sticks to his word and has supreme authority.

An emperor who came from the air like Xiao Longnu has neither close followers nor support from soldiers and horses. To put it bluntly, he is just a mere commander.

Logically speaking, such an emperor has no prestige at all, and is someone who is ignored by his ministers.

But unfortunately, this new emperor has supreme strength, no one dares to fool her, it is definitely too long to live.

Therefore, the ministers at this time wanted to know what kind of skills the new emperor had and how to break this slightly embarrassing situation.

"Clap clap."

Seeing that no one was speaking below, Xiao Longnu clapped her hands and attracted the attention of the ministers.

She stood up and stepped off the dragon chair. The old eunuch hurriedly came up to her and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is the Supreme Being. If you have anything to say, I can tell this slave. I can just pass it on."

"It's okay. There's a new dynasty and a new atmosphere. There's no need to stick to red tape."

Xiao Longnu shook her head, walked down the hall step by step, and stood in front of the civil and military ministers.

She looked around at the ministers and said to them: "Since you have nothing to say, just follow my rules."

"I have just ascended the throne, and I don't know the names and positions of your beloved ministers. Why don't you all introduce yourselves so that I can recognize them."

When the ministers heard this, their hearts moved. This was a good idea and opened up the situation.

Xiao Longnu didn't care what the ministers thought, she casually walked up to a minister and asked: "Let's start with you, what is your name, where are you from, what was your previous position, what part of the work was you responsible for, and then Report your work to me."

"Your Majesty, I am a humble minister, Lu Qinming, who was born in the Lu family of Fanyang. He is the Minister of Household Affairs and is mainly responsible for household registration management."

The minister looked to be in his 50s or [-]s. When asked by Xiao Longnu, he immediately trembled and quickly stepped out of the queue to report.

"Lu Qinming, let me ask you, how many households do we have in Dazhou now and what is our population?"

Xiao Longnu nodded and then asked: "Among them, how many are young, how many are young and middle-aged, and how many are old?"

"this."

When Lu Qinming heard this, he was suddenly covered in cold sweat and said squeakingly: "Your Majesty, I have to go back and look through the information to find out."

"Oh? As the Minister of Household Affairs, you don't even know your job?"

Xiao Longnu's expression remained unchanged, she looked at him and said, "I don't care how you became the Minister of Household Affairs, but it is obvious that you are not qualified for your job."

"Come here, drag Shilang Lu down, strip off his official robe, seize his official body, reward him with fifty big boards, and throw him out of the palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards quickly entered the hall and dragged the pale Lu Qinming out.

"Your Majesty, I am a member of the Lu family of Fan Yang. I cannot punish you as a senior official, and I cannot treat you as a common man. Your Majesty."

Lu Qinming quickly called for help, hoping that his family background could restrain the new emperor, and that the ministers could intercede for him.

"Humph, who told you that you can't be punished like a doctor? I don't have such rules in Zhou Dynasty!"

Xiao Longnu snorted coldly and said: "As a minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, you don't even know the world's population. No wonder the world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were as silent as a cicada, not daring to intercede for Lu Qinming.

Yes, you can’t even do your own job, and others can’t even ask for mercy on your behalf!

Who can you blame? You can only blame yourself!
"Okay, here's the next one."

"You, yes, that's you, come on, show it off!"

After a cordial conversation, Xiao Longnu had a general understanding of the officials in the court.

Most of the officials come from aristocratic families, have prominent backgrounds, and have received good education.

But there were also some shoddy guys among them, and they were all kicked out by Xiao Longnu.

These guys had no ideas, but they were able to sneak into the court and become officials. Xiao Longnu was so angry that she was so angry.

After counting, there were as many as thirty people dawdling around. In a fit of rage, she took away their official status and beat them all before driving them out.

"My lords, there are so many vacancies now. Do you have any candidates to recommend?"

After chatting cordially with the ministers, Xiao Longnu sat back on the dragon chair and looked down at everyone.

Everyone lowered their heads and looked at their toes. They were so scared that they dared not speak casually.

This new emperor doesn't respect martial ethics, he fights whenever he wants, and seizes officials whenever he wants. He is simply more cruel than Yang Guang!
"Forget it, you can think about it carefully when you go back. At the court meeting in three days, I want to see your list of recommended candidates, as well as detailed reports on your own work, as well as your future arrangements for your work, and your views on the general trend of the world. Opinions and suggestions.”

Glancing at the silent officials, Xiao Longnu said coldly: "In this me, the capable are at the top and the mediocre are at the bottom. We don't look at family background or qualifications, we only look at ability!"

"Don't say I won't give you a chance. I've already given you the chance. It's up to you whether you can grasp it or not."

"Retreat!"

After saying that, she stepped down from the dragon chair and left the Jinluan Palace.

As the saying goes, there are three things a new official needs to do when taking office.

The first thing she did when the new emperor ascended the throne was to burn all the civil and military officials.

The current Great Zhou Dynasty can be said to be experiencing internal and external troubles, uprisings are rising all over the world, rebels are everywhere, and the people are living in dire straits.

Of course, with Xiao Longnu's own strength, she didn't have to worry about her own safety.

Even if the rebels attack the imperial city, she can escape safely without risking her life.

But since she has decided to do something for this world and leave some traces in this world, she will not treat being an emperor as a child's play.

To fight against the outside world, one must first settle the internal affairs. If she does not straighten out the affairs of the court, even if she suppresses all the rebels outside, she will not be able to carry out her work well.

Therefore, she would burn the first fire on the civil and military officials.

The only way is to rectify the court first, let the government orders flow smoothly, and make the big machine of Zhou Dynasty run smoothly.

Only then can she free up her hands to regain the lost territory, suppress the rebellions in the world, reunify the country, and even unify the whole world.

She wants the dragon flag of the Great Zhou to be planted in every inch of land under the sun. Wherever the sun and moon shine, it is the land of the King of the Great Zhou! (End of chapter)
