The third day of the third lunar month is an auspicious day, suitable for all activities.
Early in the morning, as the sun rose, a dazzling auspicious aura spread across the land.
Dressed in a bright yellow, supremely majestic dragon robe and crown, Mu Run, supported by Fu Yunchen, ascended the ninety-nine steps of the Dragon Ascension Platform and proclaimed himself emperor.
Fu Yunchen stopped when they reached the ninety-eighth step and helped her up to the last step!
"Long live the Emperor!" His loving gaze lingered on her.
Mu Run's face immediately turned bright red. "I...can I really do it?"
“No one is more suitable than you.” Fu Yunchen gestured for her to look down at the densely packed crowd below the Dragon Ascension Platform.
"..." Mu Run gritted her teeth. This was also a unique life experience.
"You'll always be by my side, right?"
"Yes! I will be loyal to you until death, I will never betray you, and I will never let you down!"
"Me too!"
Fu Yunchen smiled; he had finally gotten her promise!
The sky seemed to brighten even more at this moment. Mu Run walked to the Heavenly Drum on the Dragon Ascension Platform, picked up the drumstick, and struck the Heavenly Drum with force.
"Dong—dong—dong—..." Nine knocks were made in a row.
The crowd standing below the Dragon Ascension Platform knelt down in unison, their cheers resounding through the heavens.
"May Heaven grant us peace and prosperity! Long live the Emperor Feng Yuan! May the Chongming Kingdom prosper and flourish forever!"
Hearing the deafening shouts, Mu Run suddenly felt a sense of unease.
Can she really be a good empress?
Looking back on all my memories, apart from the unremarkable modern times, my experiences after time travel have been nothing short of absurd and magical!
She is now standing on the Dragon Ascension Platform in a daze, proclaiming to the world that she will become the first female emperor in history!
The victor is king, the loser is villain. In the end, it doesn't matter who sits on the throne and holds the power over the world, whether they are male or female, young or old. As long as the people of the world can live a prosperous and stable life, that is enough.
Fu Yunchen stands below the Empress, yet above all living beings; he is the uncrowned king.
...
A sunny rain fell from the sky, and the fine dewdrops fell on people's bodies without causing any discomfort; in fact, they made them feel exceptionally refreshed.
Mu Run looked up at the dazzling sun and felt the gentle rain, as if all the gloom and negative emotions in her heart had been washed away.
"What a wonderful rain of spiritual light." Long Qian looked up at the clouds and rain in the sky.
"Aura Rain?" Qiao Dongzi, standing to the side, didn't understand. "What is Aura Rain?"
"The rain of spiritual light is a gift from the gods. I wonder which deity is so generous as to bestow such favor upon her, as if she is destined to rule the world."
"Wouldn't it be better to unify the world?"
"Great, that would be perfect."
Beside a lake deep in Chongyang Mountain, the mountain god Jin Kun withdrew his spiritual power, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
"Immeasurable merit!"
The ascension of Murun to the throne brought him, the mountain god, immense benefits. The mountain god's power derives from the faith and worship of the creatures within his mountain range.
Mu Run was an empress, and she also worshipped the mountain god. She even built a temple for him, which received offerings from all over the world.
And it's perfectly reasonable for him to reciprocate with a shower of inspiration.
At the same time, wherever the spiritual light rain fell, all the corpses turned to dust and vanished without a trace.
Below the Dragon Ascension Platform, among those kneeling on the ground, there was one person who turned to dust!
Everyone around watched the drifting dust, and finally all looked at Mu Run, prostrating themselves on the ground with even greater respect. They no longer had any doubts about Mu Run's ascension to the throne.
Chongming Kingdom granted a general amnesty, exempted farmers from taxes for three years, and celebrated the Empress's ascension to the throne, wishing for lasting peace and prosperity.
...
The spiritual rain on the day the Chongming Kingdom was established turned countless corpses into dust and vanished without a trace.
The people of Chongming's support and longing for the Empress, especially since she was pregnant with the Emperor's heir and already had a prince and a princess before her ascension to the throne, were enough to stabilize the nation's fate, calm the people's hearts, and ensure that prosperity was just around the corner.
The sense of stability that prevailed in Chongming spread to the Northern Jin Dynasty and the Wu Kingdom.
The people of both countries, already deeply affected by the corpse calamity, began attacking the government and shouting prayers for Chongming Kingdom to take them in.
As the fetus grew larger, Mu Run could no longer sit still, so every morning court session was like signing in. He would sit on the Nine Dragon Throne for a while and listen to Hong Mi shout to the civil and military officials, "If you have something to say, speak up; if not, the court is adjourned!"
None of the civil and military officials spoke, and they withdrew from the court and returned to the palace.
Of course, a country like this wouldn't be without state affairs, but with Prime Minister Fu Yunchen around, everyone was watching him, and if he didn't say a word, no one dared to.
After the court session, everyone would go to the Hall of State Affairs to discuss state affairs with Fu Yunchen. However, the dragon throne would still be placed in the center of the Hall of State Affairs, and everyone would first respectfully bow to the dragon throne before starting the discussion.
Fu Yunchen sat at the head of the table below the dragon throne and took a sip of tea.
Minister of War Bai Shalu presented Fu Yunchen with a memorial stating, "The army has already arrived in Yuzhou."
Fu Yunchen quickly scanned the memorial, "Are there no living people in Yuzhou?"
Bai Shalu observed Fu Yunchen's reaction and, seeing that he remained composed, said, "It should be."
"Alright, then there's no need to worry. Just clean it up completely." Fu Yunchen put down the memorial and looked at Qiao Dongzi. "How's your investigation going?"
Qiao Dongzi is currently the Minister of Justice and concurrently the Director of the Privy Council. In addition to being in charge of the criminal law of Chongming Kingdom, he is also in charge of the confidential affairs of Chongming Kingdom.
"Indeed, a Corpse King has emerged in the Kingdom of Wu, who is none other than the Crown Prince of Wu. He has turned almost half of the Kingdom of Wu into corpses. The few remaining Wu people all want to flee to our country. Now, the border is also accepting people as appropriate, following the Prime Minister's instructions."
"Can we find out the strength of the Corpse King?" Fu Yunchen asked.
