When everyone was working hard for the rejuvenation of the human race, naturally no one cared about the old emperor and his family.
Just a few hours.
Even though the abdication ceremony has not yet been carried out, in the hearts of the people, the supreme royal family of the Crescent Moon Kingdom has become a thing of the past.
In the Golden Palace.
All officials headed by Chi Muzhi were having heated discussions on the abdication and the Human Emperor plan, striving to ensure that everything went perfectly.
In everyone's impression, Emperor Nanyue and Emperor Donghua are the top priorities.
In the early stage, with the protection of Emperor Donghua, they can develop calmly without having to face the powerful Heavenly Court and the Immortal Emperor directly at the beginning.
…
The discussion lasted for two hours.
period.
Duger enriched the settings of literary mind and martial courage. He also used the power of the sun god to help the aging civil officials and the injured military generals to recuperate, and used Emperor Donghua to soothe everyone's hearts.
If you want to get something, you must first give it. This is Duger's usual routine.
The officials who had tasted the sweetness dispersed and went to carry out their respective tasks.
The moment the ministers left the palace, Doug's perception had naturally locked onto everyone.
You can know a person’s face but not his heart. Only by listening to their conversations behind their backs can you know who is sincere and who is fake.
…
In the blink of an eye.
Only the old emperor, his son and a group of monks from the Worship Hall were left in the Golden Palace.
Having lost their kingdom, He Yanzhao and his son were dejected, huddled in a corner like quails, like two helpless children. Occasionally, a trace of hatred would flash in their eyes when they looked at Duger, but most of the time, they were at a loss.
The royal family has a mature set of countermeasures for coups and palace coups, but facing the dimensionality reduction attack from the upper realm, they are helpless and have no idea what to do.
Doug no longer paid attention to the two tools, but looked at the national master and others.
The moment Douger's eyes swept over, the group of worshippers, led by the national teacher, fell to the ground immediately: "We are also human beings, and we are willing to escort the revival of the human race."
What else can we do? The other party's backer is either the emperor or the great emperor, and he also has two true immortal guards with him, which is enough to prove that the emperor attaches great importance to the human emperor plan.
Among them, the national teacher is only at the Nascent Soul stage. What can he use to fight against others? His life?
They surrendered to the emperor in order to ask for a position as a Yin God. Now that the emperor has become a thing of the past, there is no reason for them to work for him!
"Very good." Du Ge looked at them and said, "The fellow Taoists from Longhu Mountain have already invited your elders to come and congratulate me on my ascension to the throne. When the time comes, you will gather with your respective elders to escort the emperor's rise. When the day comes, I will reward you according to your merits."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Imperial Master prostrated himself on the ground and changed his address.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." said the worshippers.
The corners of He Yanzhao's mouth twitched and he closed his eyes in depression, too lazy to look at such a terrible scene in front of him.
"Your Majesty, can we cultivate our literary mind and martial courage?" a worshipper asked boldly.
"No." Du Ge said decisively, "The fairy world and the human world are originally two different cultivation systems. There is no reason to confuse them. Now that you have entered the cultivation gate, concentrate on practicing, and there will always be a day to succeed."
If there is a day to come to the fore, who would come to the imperial court to ask for the position of Yin God?
The worshippers sighed silently, feeling bitter in their hearts. If they had known that people in the human world could cultivate both literary and martial arts, why would they have entered the cultivation world? It would have been better if they had just cultivated literature and martial arts...
…
The next two days.
Monks from various sects arrived in the capital one after another, and the legends about the ancient human race's literary mind and martial courage also spread in the capital of the Crescent Moon Kingdom. There was no official announcement, and everything was spread privately.
Along with the literary and martial courage, there are also the great deeds of the ancient sages, the revival of the inheritance of the human emperor, and the popular poems used by the ancient literary saints to fight:
"The sword energy spans thirty thousand miles, and the sword light chills nineteen states"
"The waterfall drops three thousand feet straight down, it seems like the Milky Way falls from the sky"
"The heaven and earth have righteous energy, which is mixed and flowing. Below it is the rivers and mountains, and above it is the sun and stars. In people, it is called Haoran..."
"Black clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it; the armor shines in the sun, revealing its golden scales."
…
It is human nature to worship the strong, especially when the strong and heroic figures are closely related to oneself and there are various facts to support them, people are willing to believe that things that were originally unverifiable are true.
Because this can increase the sense of honor, identity, and empathy of the lower-class people. Who wouldn't want their own race to be so great and glorious?
after all.
This is just flattering yourself...
Doug knows how to manipulate public opinion best. Compared with official information, rumors are more likely to be believed.
In just one day.
The streets and alleys of the capital were filled with discussions about literary and military courage.
"Have you heard that in ancient times, the Human Emperor could be ranked on par with the Immortal Emperor?"
"I knew it long ago. A scholar has a literary heart and a warrior has a martial courage. A scholar picks up a pen and kills people on paper. A literary saint comes in person and can defeat an entire country with one man."
"Kuafu, the Martial Saint, chased the sun and drank up half of the river and the Black River in one gulp. When he died, he threw the peach stick at the sun, and it turned into a peach forest after it fell. How magnificent!"
"Kuafu is not as good as Houyi. Houyi really shot down nine suns and saved the common people from disaster. He is a true hero. Unfortunately, he also offended the demon clan's great sage..."
"It's all because of the Immortal Emperor's despicable behavior. He joined forces with the demons and destroyed the human race's tradition. As a result, we can only look up to him and even the Emperor can only call himself the Son of Heaven."
"That's right. I used to think the Emperor was quite impressive, but compared to the Emperor, he is nothing."
"Who would want to be someone else's son if they can make their own decisions..."
"Fortunately, the inheritance of the Human Emperor has been revived, and we humans have ushered in new hope."
"You're talking so excitedly, is it possible that it's fake?"
"It can't be fake. So many poems suddenly appeared, and each one of them will be passed down through the ages. If these poems had been passed down earlier, the poets would have been famous long ago!"
"The inheritance of the Human Emperor has appeared in the world. I'm afraid the Immortal Emperor can't sit still. He might send troops to suppress it!"
"What are you afraid of? Don't laugh at me for being drunk on the battlefield. How many men have ever returned from the battles of old? The ancient sages had such courage, so why don't we have it?"
"I never thought that the Immortal Emperor could be such a despicable person."
"Be quiet, there is a god above your head..."
…
Naturally, the movements in the capital city could not be hidden from the Yin God who was in charge of monitoring.
Inside the City God Temple.
Zong Bing, the city god, looked at the information collected by his subordinates and was restless: "So this is the Human Emperor Plan? Commander Meng, do you think the Human Emperor plan is true or false?"
Meng Daonian, the leader of the Sunward Gods, said, "It's probably true."
Huo Shu, the leader of the Night Wandering Gods, frowned: "No wonder the person holding the Emperor's token asked us to restrain our men. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid the Immortal Emperor will immediately send troops to attack Emperor Donghua."
Meng Daonian said sadly: "It turns out that the ancient human race was so glorious. What a pity."
Zong Bing said: "Emperor Donghua has inherited the human race's legacy and wants to establish his own way in the human world. This matter cannot be concealed for long. I'm afraid that Dongji Shenzhou will be in chaos."
Huo Shu nodded in agreement: "First there were the demons, then the inheritance of the Human Emperor appeared in the world. I'm afraid the battle between immortals and demons will reappear in the world. What a calamity!"
Meng Daonian said: "Compared with the inheritance of the Human Emperor, the demons are nothing."
Zong Bing said: "Even if there is another disaster, it won't be our turn to go to the battlefield, right?"
Meng Daonian looked at him and said, "Of course it's not our turn to go to the battlefield, but have you ever thought about this: if the Human Emperor really revives, will there still be a place for us Yin Gods in this world? After all, we are officials of the Immortal Court!"
Zong Bing frowned: "Emperor Donghua will not abandon the donkey after it has done its work, right?"
Huo Shu asked: "What should we do? Are we really just going to watch and do nothing?"
Meng Daonian glared at him and said, "What are you doing? It is said that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. First there is the Emperor of Nanyue, and above him there is the Emperor of Donghua. Can we bypass these two levels and report to the Immortal Emperor? Yin gods like us cannot even enter the South Heaven Gate without the will of the Immortal Emperor, and we will be killed."
Zong Bing sighed: "Everyone should restrain their subordinates and watch the show. It is not our turn to intervene in the fight between the Golden Immortals..."
…
Capital city.
Fengqi Tower.
After hearing the news of the Human Emperor's inheritance, the courtesan Bai Zimei hesitated for a long time. Taking advantage of the night, she turned into a wisp of green smoke and fled straight out of the capital, with her escape light heading straight for the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Xu Jinkui and others came to the capital with people from various sects. When they heard the news about the Human Emperor, almost everyone was stunned.
Unlike Xu Jinghui, they knew the ancestor's true identity.
Naturally, he believed in the Human Emperor's affairs. After all, the ancestor lived in the same period as the Taoist Ancestor, and no one knew the ancient secrets better than him.
but.
They don't believe that Emperor Donghua has obtained the inheritance of the Human Emperor. They prefer to believe that it was the ancestor who obtained the inheritance of the Human Emperor, which gave them the courage to rebel against the Taoist Ancestor.
Although this news was a bit sudden, it was a good thing for them and greatly boosted the confidence of everyone in Longhu Mountain.
The ancient demon, the inheritance of the Human Emperor, and any bit of the good things in the ancestor's hands would be enough for them to eat their fill.
…
The more people believe in it, the greater the chance of it becoming a reality...
Douge stood in the sky, his perception covering the entire capital city. He admired the storm he created, a smile crossing his lips.
In the technological world, drawing such a big pie would probably be regarded as a joke, but in the mythological world, it is too easy to create an ancient era out of thin air.
Wait until he ascends the throne.
The news about Wenxin Wudan spread, and this thing became true.
Once someone truly awakens his literary mind, his path in this world may truly be accomplished.
But why wait for people to wake up?
That's too slow!
Du Ge chuckled, then suddenly leaned over and slipped into the residence of the Minister of Rites.
…
The next day.
The roads in the capital were paved with yellow earth and decorated with lights and colors, and the soldiers of the Imperial Guards tightly blocked all the intersections.
Nine hundred and sixty civil and military students danced the Human Emperor Dance along the streets, recited poems, and sang praises to the merits of the ancient sages.
Elderly people in the folk, wealthy people in the clan, talented people, prestigious people from wealthy families, and other people from all walks of life were invited to the palace to watch the ceremony.
The monks from various sects stood in the air riding sword lights, holding huge vertical banners as a gift to the Human Emperor.
"Longhu Mountain congratulates the new generation of the Emperor on his ascension to the throne."
"Zixiamen congratulates the new generation of human emperor on his ascension to the world"
"Xinggong congratulates the new generation of human emperor on his arrival in the world"
…
All departments worked together to make the abdication ceremony exceptionally grand.
A drum beat.
All officials took their seats and invited the emperor to ascend the throne;
Two drums.
The old emperor held the imperial seal in both hands and knelt to present it to the new emperor, representing the formal transfer of power; three drum beats.
The civil and military officials congratulated the emperor on his return to the throne, and shouted, "For thousands of years, the flame of humankind will live forever"...
Four drums.
The Human Emperor holds a hammer and smashes the emperor's tablet, representing a break with the past; Wutong drum.
The emperor issued a general amnesty and promulgated new laws;
Six drums.
The city gods and the gods who wander around day and night pay homage to the new emperor and present him with gifts;
Seven drums.
Civil and military officials presented gifts...
…
The ceremony proceeded in an orderly manner.
The formal ritual process must be rigorous. The more rigorous it is, the higher the level of people’s trust…
Under Duger's instructions, after each ceremony was carried out, a messenger composed of monks would immediately spread the news to every corner of the capital.
There were also cultivators at the Hedao realm who used their flying lights to transmit the ritual process to other important towns in the New Moon Nation at the fastest speed; …
The entire ceremony took three hours to complete. Duger held a banquet in the palace to entertain all those who came to celebrate.
Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans formed different formations to dine in the square in front of the Golden Throne Hall, making it very lively.
When the Emperor ascended the throne, the rumors suddenly came true.
For a time, everyone in the capital and its surrounding areas believed in the inheritance of the Human Emperor and would talk about the Human Emperor whenever they opened their mouths.
Most of the common people in the mortal world do not know Emperor Donghua, and many people regard the newly enthroned Duger as the new generation of Human Emperor.
While everyone was having their meal.
In the scholar formation, a young scholar in green clothes and a turban on his head suddenly stood up. Amid the stunned expressions of the crowd, he showed an ecstatic look: "It's done, my literary mind is done, I have realized it."
The monk in charge of maintaining order was about to scold the scholar.
The scholar suddenly stepped forward, pointed to the sky, and said in a loud voice: "The waterfall drops three thousand feet straight down, it seems like the Milky Way falls from the sky. Water!"
Following his words.
Clouds gathered in the sky, and a big river appeared out of nowhere. The river water rushed down from mid-air straight into the imperial palace. The surging river water destroyed the entire banquet.
Not only was no one blaming the scholar for summoning the water from the Milky Way, but many people looked at him with envy.
Most of them were stunned and couldn't believe it.
real!
It's actually true! ...
Chi Muzhi and others were in a high position and witnessed with their own eyes the scene of the scholar going crazy and summoning the water from the Tianhe River. The eyes of these veteran literati became extremely hot in an instant.
Chi Muzhi's lips trembled: "Wen Xin, Wen Xin is real."
At this time, the Minister of Rites suddenly stepped forward, raised his hands high, and shouted excitedly: "The Emperor has ascended the throne, and his literary mind has begun to mature. May God bless our human race! The Emperor will live forever and shine in the world."
"God bless our human race!" An official echoed.
"The human race should prosper." Someone else raised his arms and shouted.
"The Human Emperor will live forever, and the human race will prosper." Different voices sounded, and under their leadership, the excited voices soon merged into one.
"When the literary mind emerges in the world, the human race will prosper." The messenger was smart and shouted immediately.
"When the spirit of literature emerges, the human race will flourish."
One voice after another spread out, from inside the palace to outside the palace.
Then.
At the instruction of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, all the officials and soldiers raised their arms and shouted: "The literary mind is present in the world, and the human race will prosper."
The sound was deafening.
The people in the capital city only saw the waterfall falling from the sky and had no idea what had happened, but soon news from the palace spread.
Everyone knows that at the Human Emperor's enthronement ceremony, a scholar comprehended the literary mind and summoned the water of the Milky Way during the ceremony.
Under the miracle, all the people in the capital city became convinced of the Human Emperor. How could the common people at the bottom of society have the ability to discern the truth?
…
"Human Emperor, Wen Xin has appeared in the world." Chi Muzhi looked excitedly at Duger, who was wearing a black robe and a crown on his head, and said tremblingly.
"I know." Du Ge nodded calmly, "Prime Minister, this is a good thing. It represents the recognition of the Human Emperor by the Heaven and Earth, and it represents that the seal of the Immortal Emperor on the destiny of the human race has loosened.
As long as this hole is opened, the destiny of the human race will no longer be sealed, and more people with literary and martial courage will appear next."
Doug snorted, looked up at the sky with disdain, and said, "How can a mere Immortal Emperor stop the trend of heaven and earth?"
