Chapter 344 Ascension to the Throne

Yuzhu glanced at Shang Xi who was standing not far away, then leaned over and asked Xiao Ning in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you are the emperor now, but what about him..."

Xiao Ning followed her gaze and looked at Shang Xi, a smile in his eyes.

"He is naturally my royal husband."

Yuzhu said "Oh" and looked at Shang Xi's handsome face, and couldn't help but imagine a scene of lust and robbery.

I couldn't help but light a candle for Shang Xi in my heart.

Shang Xi walked over with a smile and said to Yuzhu and the others, "I've had people prepare wine and food to welcome you."

Yuzhu and others hurriedly thanked him.

During the meal, the story of the charity hall came up, and Yuzhu said to Xiao Ning, "Your Majesty, the children we adopted first are now old enough to learn to read and write. Do you want to..."

Xiao Ning: "Of course, children are the hope of the nation. After I'm done with this busy period, I'll find a teacher to teach them."

After a pause, he added, "Not only them, but all the children across the country. Schools must be established on a large scale in the future. Ideological education must start from the children."

It is not easy to establish schools across the country.

But since the person who said this was Xiao Ning, no one thought she was daydreaming.

After dinner, Xiao Ning asked someone to take Yuzhu and others downstairs to settle them down. She walked to Shang Xi and held his hand.

Shang Xi subconsciously dodged.

Xiao Ning frowned and grabbed his hand forcefully. When he looked at it, he saw several bloody marks on the palm of his hand.

"Why are you hurting yourself again?"

Xiao Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Because Yuzhu just hugged me?"

Shang Xi lowered his eyes and pulled his wrist out of Xiao Ning's grip. He whispered, "I couldn't control myself. I'm sorry."

Xiao Ning sighed and hugged the person in his arms.

"You don't have to apologize, but you really need to change this bad habit of yours. You hurt yourself all the time."

He is obviously the most delicate and afraid of pain.

But because of her, I always hurt myself.

Some people may think that such love is morbid and such love is suffocating.

But Xiao Ning doesn't think so.

She likes the feeling of being loved by Shang Xi like this.

Being firmly chosen, it seems that when you turn around, someone is waiting for you there.

No matter how far you go, don't be afraid.

Perhaps, she is also a bit perverted in her bones...

"Let's put it this way. If you don't like me in the future, come and hurt me. Pinch me. I have thick skin and am not afraid of pain."

Shang Xi: “…”

He put his hands on Xiao Ning's waist, pressed her tightly into his arms, and buried his face in her shoulder.

"Aning..."

Xiao Ning patted Shang Xi's back and soothed him gently, "Be good, get up. I'll give you some medicine."

"No, I want to hold you."

Shang Xi's voice sounded muffled in her neck.

Xiao Ning grabbed the man's collar from behind and pulled him out.

She led people back to the palace where they lived, found the medicine bottle, and applied medicine to Shang Xi.

Shang Xi looked at Xiao Ning's serious profile, leaned over, and kissed her on the lips.

The vision was blocked, and the powder was scattered and fell to the ground.

Xiao Ning: “…”

She bit his lower lip gently.

The man stepped back in pain.

Xiao Ning raised his hand and moved Shang Xi's head forcefully, ruffling his black hair into a mess and knocking his crown crooked, only then did he stop when satisfied.

Shang Xi was not angry, and even took off her hair crown and let her hair fall down.

Aning likes his hair the most.

She gets excited every time she plays with his hair.

He liked to see her eyes bright with excitement because of him.

That is more beautiful than any scenery in the world.

Sure enough, Xiao Ning's eyes lit up and he touched his hair lovingly.

Shang Xi curled his lips, took the opportunity to hold her waist, and pressed her to sit on his lap.

…

The day calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory soon arrived.

Xiao Ning led a group of ministers out of the capital and held an altar to worship the sky in Xiangshan, a suburb of Beijing.

"Ning opens the altar today, respectfully leading all the ministers, offering jade and silk sacrifices, offering various offerings, and performing this sacrifice, addressing the heavens above and illuminating the mountains and rivers below!"

"Now that the Yongyun era has ended, I, in compliance with the will of Heaven and the obedience of my subjects, will offer sacrifices on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month at Xiangshan, announcing to Heaven and Earth the founding of a new state and the establishment of the Yongqing era."

The ministers under the altar saw that Xiao Ning did not kneel down to worship heaven and earth according to the procedure, nor did he pay homage to them. After burning incense, he stood upright on the altar to report to heaven and earth. They were terrified, fearing that God would blame them and bring down divine punishment.

The people standing further back looked at the woman on the altar, who was wearing a black robe embroidered with golden phoenixes, with shocked eyes.

The new emperor... is a woman?

Can a woman be an emperor?

But look at the officials and generals below the altar; there is no dissatisfaction on their expressions.

On the altar, after Xiao Ning offered sacrifices to heaven, he turned his gaze to the people.

Most of the people who came to watch the fun today were men, but there were also a few women here and there.

Their expressions were filled with shock and fear.

Xiao Ning calmly looked at the people beneath the altar and swore, "From the beginning, the emperor will guard the country's gates, and the king will die for the country. No marriages, no cession of territory, no compensation!"

"If future emperors cannot do this, all the people in the world can attack them!"

Xiao Ning raised his voice.

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Throughout the thousands of years of history, which emperor had such courage and broad-mindedness?

Who dares to say this: "All people in the world can be conquered"?

When the founding emperor spoke such words in front of the gods of heaven and earth, his subjects and the people, it was tantamount to issuing an imperial edict to future rebels.

As long as future emperors cannot fulfill the above terms, everyone can come to Shengjing in her name and change the world!

At the same time, all emperors of subsequent dynasties were controlled by her.

It can be said that it is an unprecedented achievement and a legacy that will last for generations.

From her on, later emperors embarked on a new path.

——If you don’t work hard to govern the country, you will be condemned by the people of the world.

Shang Xi stood in the front.

He looked at Xiao Ning, who was in high spirits on the altar, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

This is the person he loves.

His mind and bearing are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Some people in the crowd knelt down and shouted, "Long live Her Majesty!"

A stone falling into the water can cause a thousand ripples.

Under the altar, everyone knelt and kowtowed to the empress, whose skills were as good as any man's.

They surrendered at her feet.

The people were impressed by the empress's demeanor.

They had never seen such a tough king, and they couldn't help but want to straighten their backs.

Even if she is a woman.

If they can truly do what they just swore, they will be convinced.

The women were so excited that they wanted to cry.

It turns out that women can also ascend to high positions and overlook the world...

After everyone stood up, Xiao Ning walked down from the altar and extended his hand to Shang Xi.

Shang Xi was stunned and placed his hand on her palm without knowing why.

Xiao Ning held his hand and led people towards the altar again.

An official panicked and stopped him: "Your Majesty, no! Only you can ascend this altar!"

Other officials echoed this.

"Yes, Your Majesty, today is your coronation ceremony, how can you treat it like a joke!"

"If heaven and earth are angry and bring down divine punishment..."

"Your Majesty, think twice!"
