They were still haunted by what happened last time at the temple headquarters.
Therefore, when the empress ascended the throne this time, she gave these people extra places in addition to their families, and they could bring more female officials, guards, or the most trusted bodyguards or security personnel.
In short, the palace is full of nobles and there are no ordinary people coming and going.
Xia Chujian, Huo Yushen, Kang Shanxing and Meng Guanghui, along with seven elite members of the Special Security Bureau's Sky Group, were led by the female officials in the hall and stood on the side of senior government officials.
The main layout of the hall is the same as the high mass funeral held by Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan in the hall of the church headquarters.
The nobles were on one side, and the top government officials were on the other.
However, this time, the senior government officials, even the nobles, did not stand with the nobles, but stood with their colleagues.
Huo Yushen and Xia Chujian stood in the front row directly with the chief minister of the cabinet, the speakers of the Senate and the five chiefs of staff of the military.
This is the row on the right below the Empress' throne.
The nobles were in the left row.
Xia Chujian had just stood still when he heard three whip cracks coming from the back of the imperial palace.
Then a very feminine-looking male secretary from the Imperial Secretariat loudly announced: "The Zen ceremony begins!"
The high priest Su Yanxing was still wearing the moss green priest robe with dark gold patterns. Holding the imperial seal, he slowly walked up to the throne and stood next to the dragon chair.
He raised the imperial seal in his hand, which symbolized imperial power, and prayed loudly.
"Heaven bestows its holy will, and the sun and moon shine together."
"Today, inheriting the legacy of the late emperor, the heavens and earth bear witness, the whole world celebrates, and auspiciousness fills the house!"
"We have gathered here to respectfully welcome the Holy Lord to the throne and rule the world in accordance with the Mandate of Heaven!"
"Pray to the heavens for blessings, to illuminate the new dynasty; pray to the earth for blessings, to make the mountains and rivers forever strong!"
"May our emperor's benevolent rule benefit all and forge a lasting legacy!"
"May God bless Beichen and bring him long-lasting blessings!"
He bowed three times toward the heaven and earth, then bowed toward the bottom of the throne.
Then, the feminine-looking male secretary from the Imperial Secretariat, acting as the master of ceremonies, announced loudly, "The abdication ceremony is over. Please welcome the new emperor to the throne!"
Soon, Tan Tai Zijun, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a crown with twelve tassels on his head, walked solemnly onto the throne.
A long pearl necklace hung down, shining with jewels, obscuring her face.
She waved her sleeves and sat down on the dragon throne reserved for the emperor.
The high priest bowed and presented the imperial seal.
Tan Tai Zijun took the imperial seal and placed it on the table in front of him.
Then, the Minister of Justice of the Cabinet came out and began to read the accession decree.
"By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: I, carrying on the will of the late Emperor, have been granted the Mandate of Heaven to accumulate holy virtues and bring benefits to the people.
Now, when the fortunes of heaven are flourishing and all the stars are at peace, I ascend the throne as emperor and swear to defend against foreign enemies, pacify the stars and stars as my foundation, improve politics and customs, and befriend the virtuous and assist the country.
I hereby declare that:
Since I ascended the throne, I have been adhering to the principle of 'Beichen first', recruiting talents from all over the world to fight against the Zerg together.
The whole country should abide by the rules of etiquette, be loyal, and assist the royal family in order to defeat the Zerg and achieve a peaceful and prosperous era!
I must personally take charge of government affairs, work diligently and love the people, in order to repay the kindness of heaven and earth and the trust of my ancestors.
As soon as this edict is issued, I order all officials and people to obey the will of heaven, follow the imperial edict, and observe the moral principles so that the rule of Beichen will be forever stable.
So ordered! "
After the Cabinet Minister of Justice finished reading out the decree, everyone in the hall raised their hands and bowed three times to the empress sitting on the dragon throne.
At the same time, they expressed their loyalty and identification, saying: "Long live our emperor!"
Tan Tai Zijun sat on the dragon throne, quietly looking at the high-ranking officials who were bustling around in the hall and were respectful to her, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.
Finally, after more than ten years of forbearance and hard work, she returned to her established track.
This empire should have been hers!
She glanced calmly towards the Queen Mother Li Fengen who was closest to her, pursed her lips gratefully, and her eyes were a little moist.
Without this woman's persistence and protection, she would never have been able to sit in this position.
At this moment, Tan Tai Zijun vowed to ensure that those who helped her ascend to the throne would enjoy eternal honor!
After the accession decree was read out, Tan Tai Zijun became the official empress of the Beichen Empire.
The royal family of the Beichen Empire did not have a rule that only men could inherit the throne, so there were several empresses in the past ten thousand years.
But there are not many, you can count them on five fingers.
Tan Tai Zijun should be the third empress to ascend the throne.
Before her, there were only two empresses.
Therefore, her accession to the throne is still remarkable in the ten thousand years of history of the Beichen Empire.
