Chapter 238: The founding of the country, the most benevolent, the most benevolent, the faithful, th

Half an hour later, at exactly two o'clock in the afternoon,

Outside Barak,

The founding ceremony was held as scheduled.

Under the gaze of 80,000 troops, countless people, and more than 20 high-level officials from major forces and even some gods from the divine realm,

Yuan Tiangang held a yellow robe embroidered with nine-color dragons and gently put it on Nangong Lingyun.

Then, he loudly denounced the aristocratic class for their excessive taxation and extravagance. They took and robbed the people under their rule, killed them at will, and treated them like pigs and dogs. This caused the people's resentment to boil, and the world has been thinking about the emperor for a long time.

Then he bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and begged Nangong Lingyun sincerely and with tears streaming down his face, that he must save this world.

Angel Yan was holding a tray with three things on it: a jade seal, a sword, and a golden crown.

They are used to represent civil rights, military power and imperial power respectively.

He reviewed Nangong Lingyun's brilliant achievements along the way, developed the original martial spirit, founded Kaiyuan Academy, perfected the martial spirit theory, and exposed the conspiracy of the nobles to harm the geniuses of the common people.

The violent beating of Tang Chen, the inheritor of Ultimate Douluo and God King, that just happened was even written down in a big book and his body was whipped repeatedly.

In the end, I bowed and kowtowed three times, believing that overthrowing the old system, eradicating the long-standing abuses, and changing the world was such a great and difficult thing.

Only a peerless person like Nangong Lingyun who possesses nine virtues such as Qi, Xiong, Ying, Perseverance, Benevolence, Righteousness, Wisdom, Faith and Courage can do it.

The two of them cried in anticipation,

"A saint like you, who is so benevolent, kind and brave, must not be able to bear to see the people continue to suffer, right?"

The third time, the 80,000-strong army, the Balak Kingdom's royal family, courtiers, generals, some soul masters, and a few people all knelt down and swore allegiance.

It means that except for Nangong Lingyun, they do not believe, recognize or follow anyone else.

And for His Majesty, for the Empire, and for that great dream, he would risk everything, including his own life.

After the three persuasion was over, Nangong Lingyun had no choice but to accept the throne.

The entire founding ceremony process not only refers to the local customs of Douluo, but also adds some unique elements from previous lives.

It lasts for more than two hours, with more than 30 sections in nine major categories.

Becoming emperor is only the first step.

then,

Nangong Lingyun also needs to formally announce the country's name and emperor's name as the emperor, read out the founding proclamation, and preach the governing program.

He also granted awards to ministers and established a civil and military system and an official system.

Among them, the country's name is the Holy Glory Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, referred to as the Kingdom of Heaven or the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the emperor's name is the Supreme Benevolence and Perfection/Faithfulness, Wisdom and Courage/The Divine Might and Lingwu Emperor, referred to as the Wu Emperor or the Shenwu Emperor.

Governing program: Break the aristocratic hereditary system centered on blood inheritance, use civil and military examinations to select the truly outstanding, and promote meritocracy.

In addition, there are land equalization, light corvee, low taxes, compulsory education, rule of law, guilt of killing civilians without reason, and twenty-level military and civilian titles, etc.

In terms of awards, Yuan Tiangang was appointed as Grand Sikong and Marquis Wenzheng, in charge of political power and financial empowerment. Angel Yan was appointed as Grand Sima and Marquis of Wu'an, in charge of military power and soul master. Qian Daoliu was appointed as Da Situ, responsible for criminal law and supervision. , no title yet.

Sangong is the best among all ministers and ranks first.

There are more than twenty nine ministers under it, including Taichang (equivalent to the Ministry of Rites), Taiwei (Ministry of War), Taishi (Ministry of Personnel), Taibao (Ministry of Industry), Dazai (Ministry of Households), and Taifu (Ministry of Commerce).

Shaofu (Treasury), Tingwei (Ministry of Justice), Dianke (Diplomacy), Shizhong, Shangshu, Doctor (Emperor’s Secretary and Advisor), plus Dahonglu, Dali Temple, Guangluxun, Duchayuan, Four Towns and Four Conquer the general and so on.

All are second grade.

However, due to manpower shortage, only a few positions are appointed.

Among them, the former King Barak was appointed Marquis of Xinyi and served as Taichang, one of the four founding nobles of the new empire.

The remaining one is Lou Gao, a skilled craftsman, who has successfully combined blacksmithing skills, primary soul tool making skills, and firearms perfectly.

In Nangong Lingyun's version of the twenty-level titles, the lower four levels are knights, the middle four levels are husbands, and the upper four levels are nobles. Each four levels are divided into lower, middle, upper, and great.

The top level is divided into eight levels from high to low, including king, duke, marquis and uncle, each with its own title.

Here, the princes and princes who are titled with commendatory words are higher than those who are titled with place names.

The four great marquises are all superior marquises, ranking sixteenth level.

……

The first few processes of the ceremony progress very quickly, and one can usually be completed in three to five minutes.

In just forty minutes, the seventh item was officially carried out, which was also the highlight of the day, the military parade.

"coming soon."

On the side of the altar, where the guests were seated, Ning Fengzhi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Among everyone, he and Tang San were the most interested in the firearms made by Nangong Lingyun.

If the Kaiyuan Sect had no intention of establishing an empire, or even if it did, it would still rely heavily on the nobility, he would definitely deepen cooperation at all costs.

pity……

Following Angel Yan's order, long war horns and thundering war drums suddenly sounded all around.

The eight military formations changed their formations one by one, and when they reached the altar, they passed by in goose steps.

The thumping footsteps were extremely uniform and coincided with the rhythm of the drums, instantly making the onlookers excited.

There are two items in the military parade, review and military performance.

Among them, the review refers to the marching arrangement of the previous life, coupled with the specially designed thick armor, the visual impression is extremely shocking.

The main target is ordinary people.

Many of them do not understand the strength of truly powerful soul masters, and they are in awe of the military.

Seeing this scene, I must be extremely excited.

As for martial arts, the focus is on powerful people like Ning Fengzhi and Xue Ye.

If these people are not allowed to see the power of firearms with their own eyes, they will always look down upon ordinary people and treat them as if they are nothing.

The general in charge of the martial arts ceremony waved his hand,

"Bring someone to commit the crime."

Several groups of soldiers wearing armor immediately escorted rows of prisoners from distant houses.

Everyone has a pair of iron plates hanging around their necks, with the crimes they have committed written on them, as well as their respective martial arts and soul power levels.

Yes, this group of criminals are all soul masters, specially prepared to test and demonstrate the power of firearms today.

The moment the criminal appeared, there was a commotion in the guest seats.

No one expected that Nangong Lingyun was going to use such an explosive way to "perform martial arts".

When they saw the words on the iron plate, almost every face turned extremely ugly.

"The thirty-eighth-level assault-type battle soul Zun XXX has massacred over a thousand civilians in total. He deserves the death penalty!"

"Forty-sixth level defense type Battle Spirit Sect XXX, who robs civilians and sells them into slaves is punishable by death!"

"Twenty-nine-level Control System War Spirit Master XXX, poisoning the water source and killing hundreds of people, death penalty!"

"XXXX, the fifty-level auxiliary soul king, likes to eat human flesh. He has been doing this for forty-four years. During this period, he has harmed the people for no reason. He shall be punished by death!"
