This led to the Qinghe royal family becoming the simplest royal family in the world.
The entire royal family consists of only three people, one of whom is the emperor's father-in-law.
Of course, Lin Hai originally insisted on including his sworn brothers and godfather, but was unanimously opposed by his sworn brothers.
"Xiao Linzi, there has never been an emperor with so many brothers. If you force us all to be included in the royal family, have you ever thought about how many royal families there will be in Qinghe after a few generations? And they are not even related by blood. This is a recipe for disaster."
"Let me make it clear first. When Xiao Linzi becomes emperor, he will take good care of us. Even if we are too old to move, will Xiao Linzi not take care of us? Even if we die and our children and grandchildren are incompetent and have no talent, will Xiao Linzi not give them a bite to eat?
In this situation, anyone who dares to say that he wants to be the emperor's brother will cause trouble for Xiao Linzi and upset future generations.
We are a group of people who haven't had a full meal for several days. If it weren't for Xiao Linzi, we, a bunch of disabled people, would have starved to death long ago. We must not be greedy.
If anyone is dissatisfied, come and tell me and I will convince you."
This is the truth that Wang Liang explained to his sworn brothers while holding a saber.
All the sworn brothers, including the nineteenth brother Chen Tianxiong whose skull was hollow, nodded repeatedly, saying that they would never cause trouble for Lin Hai.
After all, even if Lin Hai crowns you as the emperor's brother, you can enjoy the happiness only in the future. If you say the wrong thing, Wang Liang will make you go from enjoying the happiness to enjoying the sacrifice.
We are not stupid...
When Ling Yang finished reading the simple and straightforward edict of enthronement in a few seconds, the entire Western Kyoto was plunged into carnival. Many people came from all over just to witness this moment. The cheers of the people even passed through most of the palace, making Lin Hai, who was sitting on the dragon throne, feel excited.
Of course, Lin Hai could only feel excited for a moment. After all, for him, the ceremony had just begun... The etiquette formulated by the Xia State ceremonial officer, Gao Bin, Bai Ang and Master Shi would last for a whole day. Only when it got dark could Lin Hai take off this formal suit weighing more than ten kilograms to participate in the evening bonfire parade.
Fortunately, Shi Zhener, as the queen, also had to accompany...
It seems that this celebration is not that easy.
As Ling Yang, who was standing beside him, coughed lightly, Lin Hai, who had already relaxed his waist involuntarily, had to try again, straighten his back, and sit upright on the dragon throne to accept the congratulations of the next important official.
Now that I think about it, Shi Zhen'er was smart. She had already put a wooden stick behind her dress and tied it around her waist. Now she looks relaxed and upright.
Thinking about how he had to get up at four in the morning to perform various rituals and hadn't had a sip of water or a bite of food until now, Lin Hai felt that this ritual was established just for everyone to vent their dissatisfaction with the emperor.
You want to be the emperor, right? Okay, then just hold on tight...
When he heard a different voice beside him, Lin Hai turned around and found that the person presiding over the ceremony had changed from Ling Yang to Cheng Guorong.
Yes, the host can be rotated to rest, but the emperor cannot be rotated.
Lin Hai felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have made a few more dragon robes. In this way, when he could no longer hold on, he could find someone to sit here and replace him.
Anyway, the emperor sits high up in the seat, and no one dares to look up at him. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't know.
While the people below were reading their congratulatory messages aloud, Lin Hai whispered to Cheng Guorong, "Do you have the nerve to let Zhen'er and I sit here like wooden sculptures while you go and rest?"
Cheng Guorong still looked down with a serious expression, as if he had not heard Lin Hai's words at all.
Then, Cheng Guorong's voice drifted faintly: "Ling Yang didn't rest either. He went to prepare for the next stage."
Lin Hai was very confused. How could Cheng Guorong say that without even moving his mouth?
It seems that if someone hears something in the future and no one admits it, it would probably not be wrong to catch Cheng Guorong and beat him up.
"The next stage of the ceremony? What is it? Hasn't it been prepared long ago?"
"Oh, he went to your imperial kitchen to check on the preparations for today's banquet."
Lin Hai's expression remained unchanged, but his voice was filled with anger: "He went to supervise the dishes. When did he become a chef? He must have gone to add more food to himself."
“There was no extra meal.”
Cheng Guorong said calmly, "You have to trust your students. How could they abandon you and go get extra food?"
“They were just going to have lunch.
It's not a snack.
Look at the sun, it's already lunchtime."
Lin Hai almost stood up and swung the jade seal to hit Cheng Guorong hard: "You just leave me here and go eat lunch?"
Cheng Guorong's expression remained unchanged:
"I can't help it. You taught us back then that eating on time is very important. Besides, you are the emperor now. According to the rules, everything you eat must be tested for poison.
It's an honor to taste poison for you, so we've decided to take turns tasting poison for you, so it's not unfair. Oh, by the way, I just got back from going out, and the food today was delicious, but it's a pity it won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Why do I feel like you guys are messing with me?"
"Your Majesty, please don't say that. We are so happy. There is no greater happiness than being the emperor's student. The term 'disciple of the emperor' is not something you say lightly, so you must allow us to celebrate."
"Isn't such a grand ceremony enough for you to celebrate?"
"Oh, this coronation ceremony, that's your celebration. Our private celebration is next to it, strictly speaking, in your imperial kitchen."
"Alright, you're really cruel. When I'm done with my work today, I'll throw each of you into the water mirror next to me to cool down."
"No, Principal."
"Are you scared?"
"Principal, you forgot that you can't swim..."
