Chapter 545 Ascension to the Throne
King Huai'an opened his mouth. He had nowhere to go. The world was so big that there was no place for his family to stay.
He knew very well what his family would face. He lowered his head and did not dare to look Murong Li in the eye.
Murong Li waved his hand, glanced at King Huai'an, who seemed to have aged ten years in the blink of an eye, and said, "Put him in the Heavenly Prison, and then immediately send people to Huai'an Mansion to take over everything. Everyone in the mansion will be temporarily detained in the clan residence. They can't take even a needle or a thread with them."
The reason why all the people were taken to the Clan House was that there were many people in Huaian Prince's Mansion and the relationships were very complicated. Many of them came from the area behind the Clan House.
After today's matter is settled, we will have to conduct a thorough investigation and interrogation.
There cannot be another King Huai'an.
"Yes, Master."
The secret guard who came out was An Yi. He carried King Huai'an, who looked like a dead dog, out of the hall.
Several other secret guards also took the three heads of the Zhao family to the edge of the platform and made them kneel, requiring them to witness Murong Li's ascension to the throne with their own eyes.
Then the secret guards cleaned up the stage and carried all the injured men in black out of the hall, and asked the personal guards to send them to the sky prison for detention.
General Wei and his personal guards were also cleaning up the battlefield in the hall.
The eunuchs and palace maids also joined in the work, sweeping and wiping, replacing all the damaged tables, chairs and benches with new ones. Soon the hall was clean and looked the same as when they first came in.
At this time, only one stick of incense had passed since noon.
In just a short time of incense stick, the people in the hall felt as if a whole day had passed, and it was so thrilling.
In just a short time of an incense stick, the four major families that had dominated the capital for hundreds of years collapsed. From then on, there were no more four major families in the capital, and there was no more Huai'an Palace.
During this short period of incense stick, people felt like they were dreaming, and after waking up, the hall was back to normal.
Even the emperor felt as if he had just woken up from a dream. This son always gave him different surprises. It was most appropriate for him to hand over the Murong family's kingdom to him.
He used to be hesitant, thinking of waiting for his concubines to give birth to children before focusing on raising one.
Fortunately, he did not do that foolish thing. If the child he raised was faced with the situation today, he could guarantee that King Huai'an would succeed.
The emperor didn't dare to think about what they would face when their group became prisoners, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Su Yue looked at him doubtfully. Now that they had won a great victory, what was going on in this old man's mind?
Su Yue guessed that he must have been shocked by Murong Li's thunder hand, or perhaps he was thinking that it was right to pass the throne to Emperor Murong Li. If it was a newborn son of the concubines in the harem, he would probably only have tears to cry when facing the current situation.
No, there's not even a chance to cry.
Su Yue curled her lips. This result was quite good. The emperor should be completely disheartened by now.
On the contrary, if this guy has not given up and is brainwashed by the queen and her son after arriving at the imperial mausoleum, who knows if he will do something jaw-dropping in the heat of the moment.
That's the best.
Even gods are afraid of trouble.
But Murong Li did a great job today, which made her look at her with new eyes. She controlled the whole situation without doing anything, and eliminated the four major families with complicated connections. King Huai'an was also easily dealt with.
He was not forced to do anything at all. Just a few words were enough to make King Huai'an have no place to stand on this continent.
It also made King Huai'an willingly live in the Heavenly Prison.
Fortunately, this sinister man is hers.
"Now let's continue."
Just when Su Yue was daydreaming, she heard Murong Li's domineering shout.
When the people below heard Murong Li's words, they woke up from their dreams. They looked at Murong Li, who was standing high on the stage. He was wearing the dragon robe of the Ming Emperor. He was so majestic and domineering. He gave people an aura of looking down on the world. He was so dazzling that people dared not look directly at him.
Only deep Mobai.
The officials from the Ministry of Rites came up immediately, and then everyone returned to their original seats and continued to worship the ancestors of the Murong family.
In the center of the back of the main hall is the tablet of the founding ancestor of the Murong family. Whenever there is an important event in the court, they will worship the ancestor and burn incense to inform him.
Murong Li respectfully lit three incense sticks and kowtowed three times to the ancestor. He then prayed that the ancestor's spirit in heaven would bless Xifeng Kingdom with peace and prosperity, good weather and good harvests every year, and that the Murong family would prosper for generations to come...
All that's left is to unify the martial arts world. Hearing Su Yue rolling her eyes, Murong Li would also say some high-sounding words.
After Murong Li finished his worship, it was Su Yue's turn. She also lit incense respectfully, then knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully.
But he didn't say anything nice like he did to Murong Li.
The officials from the Ministry of Rites didn’t care, as long as the emperor and Murong Li conveyed their intentions to the ancestor.
Next was Murong Li’s coronation ceremony.
The emperor's enthronement ceremony is the most important part of the entire enthronement process.
During this ceremony, the emperor will formally accept the worship of his subjects.
Civil and military officials, royal family members, some nobles, and various forces, all of them represent the subjects of Xifeng Kingdom.
After accepting the court worship, the emperor officially ascended the throne.
There was a dragon throne in the main hall. People from the Ministry of Rites removed the cloth covering it and invited Murong Li to sit on it.
Murong Li sat down without hesitation and bowed to all directions with his big hands.
"Greetings to the new emperor! Long live the emperor!"
Except for the envoys from the three kingdoms who came to watch the ceremony and the emperor, oh, now called the emperor emeritus, everyone in the hall knelt down and paid homage.
Including Su Yue.
Murong Li stood up and waved his hand: "Stand up."
"Thank you, Emperor."
Murong Li: "Today I ascend the throne as the new emperor. I hope that you will support me in the future and make Xifeng a prosperous country with a strong people..."
Murong Li spoke at length, "Princess Yuanli, Su Yue, is a woman of virtuous character, refined and dignified... She will be my queen..."
"Appoint the Imperial Consort as Empress Dowager!"
"Appoint the Marquis of Anding as Duke of Anguo, hereditary and uninterrupted!"
"Appoint General Wei as a First-Rank General! Grant him the General's Mansion!"
"Appoint Minister of Works Luo Dinghai as the first-rank Marquis of Dingxi, hereditary. His original position remains unchanged."
"Seal General Yun as the First-Rank General of Pingxi and grant him the General's Mansion!"
…
Murong Li conferred titles on more than a dozen people at once. All of these people were meritorious officials who had followed him. The officials in the original court were not touched for the time being.
"Please come forward and receive the seal!"
As soon as Murong Li finished giving the letter, the officials from the Ministry of Rites began to sing.
"Your Highness obeys your command."
Everyone came forward and knelt in front of Murong Li.
Then a row of palace maids came out carrying trays and stood on both sides.
Murong Li stood up, took the tray from a palace maid, walked to Su Yue, helped her up, and put the tray in her hand.
Inside the tray were the golden seal and booklet that represented all the Queen's status and power...
