No matter how complex the composition of the officials in the capital is, how many are from aristocratic families, how many go with the flow, how many secretly collude with the Wang, Yang and Li families outside, and even some are hidden gods and demons... In short, the court officials have no soldiers. On the contrary, the Four Symbols Sect has been operating for so many years under the secret operation of Huangfu Qing, and its potential power is indeed considerable.
The last group of imperial guards that could fight went to support the Puyang battlefield. After being tempered on the battlefield, they may be much more elite now. Now that the battle of Puyang is over, this group of soldiers is probably rushing back from the battlefield. The journey is not too far... But Zhuque was even happier when this group of soldiers arrived.
Because the commander-in-chief is her younger brother, he returned in a hurry only to help his sister.
It wasn't that Xia Longyuan was so conscientious that he was willing to give Huangfu Shaozong the military power to go to war. It was because when the opponent was the Wang family, you couldn't find many generals in the capital who were sure that they had no collusion with the Wang family. Even if you were sure, the Cui family wouldn't dare to trust you, which made the front-line soldiers suspicious. The only reinforcement that Cui Yuanyong could quickly trust and cooperate with was Huangfu Shaozong. There were really not many choices.
Now that the internal and external military power is in the hands of the Four Symbols Sect, it is the best opportunity to take control. Others will be several steps behind in taking control of the center.
Under the absolute suppression of force, Zhuque could actually take the throne even if he wanted to, and he could even support a pig. But he had to consider the follow-up, how to gain more widespread support, how to build a foundation, and how to extend his influence to the world, so he couldn't act recklessly.
At least we need to do things well and make them stand out. The Qinglong legal principle is a very good stepping stone.
Everyone knows that only the emperor with strong troops and horses can do it, but it cannot be too naked, otherwise it will not last long. In the simplest terms, others also need to find a legitimacy for their joining, so that the sense of identity and participation will be much higher.
Whether they recognized the so-called Azure Dragon Law or not, whether they accepted this step or not, the only one who could fight against the Four Symbols Sect was the Demon Suppression Division led by Tang Wanzhuang. Even if they couldn't defeat them, as long as they raised their arms, the Four Symbols Sect would cause a river of blood, which would be very embarrassing, and they would lose half of their battles before they succeeded.
As a result, Tang Wanzhuang strongly supported it because Xia Chichi was really the daughter of the late emperor.
When the military force of the Four Symbols Sect and the legal principles and human hearts represented by Tang Wanzhuang were combined, what erupted was the yellow robe that suppressed the entire audience without any suspense.
Some people who know about it still think of some old stories. It is said, just said, that there are many remnants of the previous dynasty in the Four Symbols Sect. For example, some people suspect that Huangfu Qing is Zhuque, and the Huangfu family is a general who surrendered from the previous dynasty; some people suspect that Xuanwu is the daughter of Hai Pinglan of the Southern Dynasty. The last time the book of the chaotic world said that he sat in front of his daughter and passed away, it provided evidence for this suspicion; there is also a saying that the original White Tiger Saint was a princess of the previous dynasty. So the Four Symbols Sect became a den of traitors.
If Xia Chichi is the daughter of the White Tiger Saint, she still has the aura of the previous dynasty. Some of the old people from the previous dynasty might get excited. After all, the country was founded only about 30 years ago, and the old people are not all dead yet.
When the real BUFFs are fully stacked, you can give people a lot of steps wherever you go. Some parts are even more than just steps, and there will really be people who agree with that.
For example, the Azure Dragon Principle, even without anyone saying anything, the Four Symbols believers in the field were already extremely excited. At this time, some people could no longer hold back and took the lead in worshipping: "Please let the Saint ascend the throne as soon as possible to establish the foundation of the country!"
Someone took the lead, and all the members of the Four Symbols Sect shouted: "Please invite the Saint to ascend the throne!"
Tang Wanzhuang had already stood up. She turned around to see the cheers and shouts everywhere, and said calmly, "Please ascend the throne."
The rest of the people would be fools if they didn’t follow suit this time, including Lu Jianzhang. No one hesitated, and they all bowed in unison: “Your Majesty, please ascend the throne!”
Xia Chichi looked at the voices around him quietly, his eyes a little dazed. He always felt that the distance was very far and a little unreal.
Lu Jianzhang still confirmed it: "Your Majesty said that he wants to change the new dynasty, I wonder if there is a reason?"
I thought to myself, if you still want to call it Da Xia, then we really have to consider the settlement issue... If you really change it to something else, then this matter can really be handled. We can help you look up the classics and decide on a suitable one. Don't worry, we are the most professional in this etiquette system.
At the same time, we should also see if this girl has the temperament to be an emperor. If she has to ask her master or men for everything, that would be really funny.
As a result, Xia Chichi calmly said: "My Four Symbols Sect is based on stars, so it should be named after the Milky Way. Looking through the classics, there is only one word that fits its meaning."
Even a learned man like Lu Jianzhang was stunned for a while. However, most of the names of countries were named after the places where they made their fortunes, such as the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties. As for the stars, Xia could barely be counted, at least it was the time of the day. And Xia Chichi obviously didn't mean Xia, so there was probably only one...
But Xia Chichi said calmly: "The Milky Way is the Milky Way. The country in this world should be called Han."
No need to look up the book, it seems this girl copied a lot of books, many people don’t know that Han means galaxy…
The officials have no objection. If you are willing to change the dynasty, everyone will feel more at ease. It is indeed in line with the Four Symbols Sect's intention. Moreover, this Han has been a good name since the last era. There is nothing to be picky about in all aspects. However, this little girl is quite arbitrary and feels a bit like an emperor... But don't learn from your father in the future...
On the contrary, Zhuque, Tang Wanzhuang, and Zhao Changhe all looked at Xia Chichi's profile, and were a little surprised. Because Xia Chichi had never discussed this matter... A girl who always flatters the Venerable and smiles and copies books, seems to listen to the Venerable in everything, but she made a direct decision on this matter without asking the Venerable a single question.
What makes her insist on "Han"
The long river falls from the sky and converges into the rivers and lakes; the Milky Way hangs in the sky, how can I not be there? When he draws his sword, he often carries the meaning of the Milky Way hanging upside down. That is a unique Dharma image that is different from other people in the Blood God Sect and is considered by the Four Symbols Sect to be like one of their own. At least in the eyes of the Book of Chaos, Zhao Changhe has always been described as the Milky Way.
What Xia Chichi is expressing is that this is your dynasty.
I am yours too.
It's a pity that Zhao Changhe didn't understand at all. His feelings towards Han were not on the same level as those of the people in this world. He was quite happy and thought that this was a good name for the country!
Seeing his silly look, Xia Chichi smiled slightly, and the image of a green dragon emerged from his body. The dragon energy was so condensed that it seemed as if a real dragon had appeared in the world, raising its head up to ascend to the sky.
It was clearly morning, but the sky was suddenly filled with stars. The Four Constellations echoed in the sky, and a Milky Way ran across it, which was a spectacular sight.
The audience cheered, "Long live Xia Chi Chi", and he put on the yellow robe.
… …
Xia Chichi was at the opening ceremony, Tang Wanzhuang assisted her, Zhao Changhe and Zhuque sat aside and watched.
For Xia Chichi, who was doing this for the first time and didn't even recognize the faces of the officials, this matter was very complicated. If Zhao Changhe was to do it, even figuring out the etiquette of ascending the throne and distinguishing what the various official positions corresponded to would be enough to overwhelm him. But Xia Chichi had studied it intentionally, and she knew everything about the entire system, etiquette, and bureaucracy.
This is where she is much more suitable than Zhao Changhe. She was not born for the underworld, while Zhao Changhe is the opposite.
How to promote and reward officials, how to distribute new interests; how to establish a new regulation for the unity of politics and religion;
How to stabilize people like Lu Jianzhang first, and observe whether they can be used in the future, whether they should be fired, how to deal with them, and how to replace them, is an extremely tedious task, not to mention the many other things that are too numerous to mention, enough to annoy a world's strongest man so much that he would never want to play again after working diligently for a few months.
These things cannot be accomplished simply by having the use of force and killing, especially now when the world is divided into pieces and there are countless foreign enemies.
But for now, just remember one standard: don't take too big a step, and first prepare for the coronation and the awards. Nod to Tang Wanzhuang's suggestions, and reject those that Tang Wanzhuang signals with her eyes. Just listen to her.
Although this is very frustrating, as an emperor he still has to listen to his rival in everything, what a slutty old woman... But this is the lowest cost way at the moment. As expected, as long as Tang Wanzhuang's opinion is adopted, everything will be basically smooth. If anyone objects, Tang Wanzhuang can make the other party lose their way, and the emperor doesn't need to say anything... The emperor shouldn't speak easily either.
No matter how unhappy the love rival is, he has to admit that having a woman like this to help him is really a relief...
Originally, it was thought that the first day's ceremony would be easy to handle with the support of a strong person like Tang Wanzhuang. However, what Xia Chi had not expected was that Tang Wanzhuang would be the first one to interrupt the ceremony.
Because it involved Tang Wanzhuang's own reward.
In theory, she should be more upright and accept any reward or even refuse it. However, Tang Wanzhuang actually took the initiative to complain about the reward: "Your Majesty, I do not want a promotion or a title. Please take back all the rewards of money and land."
Xia Chichi thought it was a sign of humility, so he said, "Then what would you like, my dear?"
Tang Wanzhuang smiled a little embarrassedly: "I am not young anymore, it is time for me to get married. I would like Your Majesty to grant me a marriage, it would be my honor."
Xia Chichi widened his eyes: "?"
Suzaku: ""
Zhao Changhe: ""
Tang Wanzhuang said: "I once swore not to marry the prince or become the imperial concubine... Now that someone is no longer the prince, I will naturally not become the imperial concubine, so there is no obstacle anymore. I beg Your Majesty..."
Xia Chichi: "Wait, wait a minute!"
