Chapter 1048 The Throne Ceremony

On this day, the people of the entire capital, oh no, it should be the entire Zhongzhou and the entire Dai Viet, all happily put on their most beautiful new clothes, put down their work, and sang and danced to celebrate the old prince's ascension to the throne.

In Dai Viet, the old prince who guarded the border for more than ten years, fought off the fierce Northern Desert barbarians countless times, was covered with wounds, and even lost his son and daughter-in-law while guarding the border, is a great hero in the eyes of all the people.

Now, the old prince who cares so much about the people of Dai Viet is about to become their king. How can the people who admire him not be happy and support him?

The people of Zhongzhou and several nearby prefectures spontaneously flocked to the capital, wanting to catch a glimpse of the wise monarch who had come to power, to pay homage to the old prince who had devoted himself to Dai Viet for more than ten years, and to thank him for his contributions to the people of Dai Viet over the years.

In the Devil's Valley, all the people of Qingshui Village, young and old, men, women, and children, went out in unison, wearing their brightest new clothes and riding in horse and ox carriages to rush to the city.

But after entering the city, the streets were so crowded, with carriages and people everywhere, it was extremely difficult to move forward even a step.

Fortunately, from the moment they entered the city, guards sent by the Dingbei Palace cleared the way, allowing their carriage to reach the Dingbei Palace smoothly, and then everyone walked to the palace to participate in the celebration.

Naturally, not everyone can enter the palace. Common people can only stand outside the palace gates and on the streets and wait. After the new emperor ascends the throne, he will come out for a parade to accept the people's admiration and worship.

The people of Qingshui Village, thanks to Qiao Ran, were led into the palace, and stood far behind the officials to witness this great moment of the old prince's ascension to the throne.

The coronation ceremony was long and grand. Everyone stood in silence and watched, not daring to make a sound.

Until the Minister of Rites sang: "The ceremony is over!"

Then the chief eunuch shouted in a shrill voice: "Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long, long live the emperor!"

Everyone knelt down and shouted, "Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long, long live the emperor!"

Qiao Ran also knelt down on the ground along with everyone else.

Although she was specially granted by the Supreme Emperor that she did not have to kneel to anyone, she did not want to be treated specially on such a solemn day. Besides, the old prince was a hero she admired and also her elder, so she knelt willingly.

The old prince, oh no, now he should be called the new emperor, raised his hand majestically: "Stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone stood up, and the coronation ceremony was successfully completed.

Afterwards, the emperor paraded around the city in his imperial sedan chair and accepted the kneeling worship of the people lining the streets.

Qiao Ran did not participate in this session.

Accompanied by Mo Beihan, she went to the national treasury and the emperor's private treasury respectively and returned all the treasures that had been looted from these two places.

With the wise rule of the new emperor, Qiao Ran believed that these treasures and grains would be able to play their due role.

Although all the things in the national treasury and the emperor's private treasury had been returned, there were still many treasures and food piled up in Qiao Ran's space.

These were all plundered from King Ping and other corrupt officials, as well as the gold and silver she earned from her Fairy Valley Supermarket. Even though a lot of it had been left for the Dingbei Army, she still had two-thirds in her space, enough for her to use in several lifetimes.

At the morning court the next day, the new emperor announced that Mo Beihan was named the new King of Dingbei and became the master of the Dingbei Palace. Qiao Ran's identity also changed from the future Crown Prince's Consort to the future Princess Dingbei.

Prince Ping had been exiled by the retired emperor to guard the imperial mausoleum and was never allowed to return to the capital.

Except for the King of the Sea, the other six kings who plotted rebellion had their fiefs taken back, their titles stripped off, and they were demoted to commoners, and were never allowed to return to the capital again.

Although the King of the Sea led his troops to Zhongzhou, he realized his mistake and turned back, so he was only reduced in fiefdom and fined for three years. After the reduction, his fiefdom was reduced from the size of a provincial capital to just a county, which was equivalent to a county lord, and his life could only be considered passable.

There is no harm without comparison. Aquaman feels that the end of the other six kings is much more miserable than his own, so he is quite satisfied.
