Chapter 393 Coronation Ceremony
She said, "The people are still displaced and unable to find peace. I am uneasy. The coronation ceremony must be simple and must not be extravagant."
The Minister of Rites responded respectfully, and the Minister of Revenue was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, and he shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"
All the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue liked the emperor who was frugal and managed his household well.
The Minister of Rites felt that even if Lu Xueyin was frugal, it was her coronation ceremony after all, so how much simpler could it be? He thought about it, wrote a memorial and sent it up.
Although Lu Xueyin has not yet officially ascended the throne, her status has been determined and she now lives in the palace.
When he saw the memorial submitted by the Minister of Rites, he rejected it and threw Chen Songyuan to the Ministry of Rites.
Lu Xueyin was helpless. She originally wanted to let Chen Songyuan go to the Ministry of Revenue, but the Minister of Rites obviously did not realize her intention, so she just borrowed it for the time being.
Chen Songyuan was Lu Xueyin's man, so the Minister of Rites did not dare to neglect him and presented him to the emperor respectfully. Then Chen Songyuan revised his memorial again and again.
The Minister of Rites was a little hesitant at first, but when he thought about it, since this was Lu Xueyin's man, why would he worry about it? So he sent it up.
It had to be said that Chen Songyuan truly understood Lu Xueyin. The coronation ceremony was written with such simplicity that there was no mention of rebuilding the palace. It was just replacing the broken floor tiles and painting the walls—the walls visible from the outside, anyway. As for the unseen areas inside the palace, there was absolutely no need for that.
Lu Xueyin was very satisfied and approved it immediately.
Minister of Rites: “…”
It's... it's hard to comment on. But as long as Your Majesty is happy, that's all.
No matter how frugal Lu Xueyin was, there was one thing she could not afford to save on, and that was the dragon robe.
After confirming the funeral of Emperor Qianyuan, the Minister of Rites began to prepare Lu Xueyin's dragon robe, which can be said to be ahead of everyone else.
Based on this insight, although Lu Xueyin felt that he was a smooth person, she also felt comforted.
The dragon robe needs to be prepared by the best embroiderer. This dragon robe was originally for His Majesty and the embroidery had been started a long time ago. Now it is just right for Lu Xueyin to use. She just needs to change the size.
Even Lu Xueyin couldn't help but get excited when she saw him wearing the yellow robe.
After everything was settled, Lu Xueyin sent someone to bring Wang and Lu's father back to the capital. Lu's father was still somewhere unknown, but Wang would definitely come back to attend Lu Xueyin's coronation ceremony.
During the second of her three visits to the thatched cottage, Lu Xueyin sent someone to pick her up and bring her to Beijing.
When Wang arrived, the Ministry of Rites happened to be delivering the dragon robe to Lu Xueyin.
When Lu Xueyin wore the golden dragon robe, her whole aura was completely different.
Wang didn't even go to rest, but came to see Lu Xueyin, unable to take her eyes off her.
"It looks good, it's really good. It's the most beautiful dress you've ever worn." Wang couldn't stop praising him.
How fresh! The dragon robe, how could it not look good?
Wang looked at Lu Xueying with eyes full of pride. Her daughter became the emperor, which was so promising.
Lu Xueyin gazed at herself in the bronze mirror. When she'd first served as an official in Lu Chenyang's place, she'd never imagined she'd one day become emperor. Back then, she'd been forced to take the position of county magistrate, a position she'd stumbled upon along the way, ultimately ascending to the throne. It hadn't been something she'd anticipated, but upon ascending the throne, she found herself feeling quite at peace.
She seemed to have returned to the past, the self who had panicked but then calmed down after learning of her brother's disappearance. The difference was that back then she had decided to become a county magistrate, and now she was the emperor.
She didn't feel nervous because she believed she was doing well.
The door opened, and Yan Xing appeared outside, clad in armor. Today, he was to escort Lu Xueyin to the throne, guarding her at her side.
Their eyes met in the mirror, Yan Xing's eyes were bright, full of surprise and admiration.
In fact, whether it's a man or a woman, they all admire the strong by nature. Especially people like Yan Xing, who has been arrogant since childhood and is the first among his peers. He has always admired those who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him, rather than those who rely on him.
So he cared for Zhao Qingwan, but never fell deeply in love with her. That's why he could calmly accept the Zhao family's misfortune.
There would never be another woman in this world as powerful as Lu Xueyin, someone he could look up to. So his heart was moved by her, and he was overwhelmed with grief for her, unable to forget her.
Behind Yan Xing were Tan Feng, Lu Ning, Gao Ming, Chen Songyuan and others, who came to welcome the new emperor.
"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived." Gao Ming said respectfully.
Lu Xueyin nodded slightly, and Wang personally put the crown on her. She looked at her daughter, who would become the ruler of the world from today on.
Lu Xueyin walked out slowly, and the coronation ceremony began. She walked up the long steps, ninety-nine steps, symbolizing the supremacy of power.
Lu Xueyin took every step firmly.
Gao Ming read aloud the eulogy, written by Lu Chenyang himself. It described Lu Xueyin's achievements, announcing to the heavens that a new emperor had emerged on earth. Her achievements were reported to the heavens, and now the world had welcomed a new emperor.
Gao Mingnian's resounding words were a real challenge to his physical strength, but he completed the task smoothly without any hesitation.
When the last word fell, he looked at Lu Xueyin with a burning and reverent gaze. Lu Xueyin knelt down respectfully and bowed to God.
This was the lord he had chosen, and he had assisted her along the way as she slowly ascended to this position. Their journey had not been easy, but this woman had remained steadfast.
He sincerely believed that Lu Xueyin was the Son of Heaven chosen by heaven. Heaven must have seen that the people were having a hard time, so he sent her to save them.
Gender is not a problem, age is not a problem. She has enough talent and character, and she will create a prosperous era.
Lu Xueyin held the sacrificial text in both hands and threw it into the brazier as a sign to God.
Suddenly, clouds rolled in from the horizon, shrouding the entire palace. Everyone looked up in shock. This was a bad omen for a new emperor to ascend the throne.
Tan Feng and Yan Xing looked solemn, their eyes gloomy as they gazed at the ministers kneeling below. They were to be prepared at all times; if anyone made any unusual movement, they must be apprehended immediately.
Abnormal weather is most likely to shake people's hearts and can easily be used as a handle by others.
Lu Xueyin was quite calm. She felt that since Emperor Qianyuan had not asked the heavens to warn her, God would not be dissatisfied with her based on her actions.
Dark clouds covering the sun mean something ominous.
But just a moment later, a ray of dawn light broke through the thick clouds and shone directly on the ground, like a sharp sword of light.
This was just the beginning. The light grew stronger and stronger. In just a few moments, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sun came out again, followed by a sky full of colorful clouds. Five-colored auspicious clouds hung in the sky, and the sun was bright and brilliant, without any more haze.
Gao Ming reacted immediately: "It's an auspicious sign! It's an auspicious sign! Long live the emperor!" He immediately knelt on the ground, and the ministers followed suit and shouted "Long live the emperor".
A miracle from heaven is the most convincing thing. Heaven wouldn't send a miracle without a reason, would it? There had to be a reason. Such an auspicious sign, and at such a special time, must be the new emperor's merits, moving the heavens to send down this auspicious sign.
This statement was recognized by everyone. Even Gao Ming, Yan Xing and others who were not superstitious could not help but believe this speculation.
How could it be such a coincidence, such a perfect match? There must be a reason for all this.
Everyone's eyes fell on the bright yellow figure in the middle. She was the reason.
Everyone believes this.
Lu Xueyin herself didn't think so. The various strange phenomena in this world were indeed difficult to explain, but she wouldn't over-interpret them. If that were the case, then the ruthless villain wouldn't have sent down a thunderbolt to kill him!
But she didn't mind others thinking so. After all, it was right. It was because of her boundless merits and talent that God sent down the strange signs.
Yes, yes, it’s all because of her.
Lu Xueyin ascended the throne and named the country Ning. The founding empress of Ningguo named the reign Jiayuan, and a prosperous era began to emerge.
