There were three main palaces in the Shenwu Dynasty, and the most magnificent palace was the Hanyuan Palace.
This palace is not used for daily office work, but for sacrifices and national ceremonies.
Today is the tenth day since Chu Qianqiu came to Beijing.
The eldest princess held a grand inheritance ceremony here and took over the throne.
Due to the ineffective treatment of the young emperor, he was declared dead of illness. With the unanimous opinions of Wanshou Temple, Zhishan Academy, the Queen Mother, Xu Guogong, Liu Dutong and others, the eldest princess inherited the throne.
The entire people in Beijing were shouting long live the mountain, and the overwhelming shouts resounded through the sky.
"Long live, long live, long live, Her Majesty the Queen."
"Long live, long live, long live, Her Majesty the Queen."
These shouts were all sincere, not because of Queen Qinghe's performance in managing people's livelihood, but because each household received 100 cents.
When there is money to be taken, the people are naturally happy and cheering.
They wish they could change an emperor every day so that someone could distribute money.
Shangjing has a population of nearly 10 million and nearly 2.5 million households. Simply sending this gift money, excluding corruption and losses in the process, cost 350,000 taels of silver.
This is also the tradition of the Shenwu Dynasty. Whenever a new emperor ascends the throne, he will give some benefits to the people in Beijing to stabilize the foundation of the empire. Normally, this amount is 10 cents per household.
But this time, Chu Qianqiu insisted and changed the amount from 10 Wen to 100 Wen, giving him a super double.
Yesterday afternoon, Chu Qianqiu discussed with Her Majesty the Queen in the dragon bed and said this:
"Tomorrow we will sacrifice to God Haotian. The more sincere the people's cheers are, the higher the effect of the divine thoughts will be."
"Madam, don't be stingy with this little money."
"What's more, I can take this opportunity to check the corruption situation in these six gates and Shangjing Mansion."
There are more than 2.5 million households in Shangjing. Based on the registered population, it would normally cost only 250,000 taels of silver. However, it ended up being handled collectively by the Shangjing Prefecture and Liumen, which cost an additional 100,000 taels of office expenses.
According to the tradition of the Shenwu Dynasty, this is not too much, and can even be said to be a fairly honest performance.
For the sake of Her Majesty the Queen and the coronation ceremony.
Each household still received 100 cash in real terms, and no 100 cash was repaid.
This made Chu Qianqiu breathe a sigh of relief, at least the system has not been destroyed to the end.
If six people dared to come to his door and charge him 100 Wen, then he would feel that there was really no hope, and he would quickly return to Lingzhou with his wife and start a new business.
The shopkeepers of Sihai Bank even complained:
"This time all the copper coins were redeemed by the court, why not cut them into pieces of silver and use them?"
Therefore, the people who came to Beijing applauded the Queen sincerely today, without any falsehood.
Although the death of the young emperor was sad, the people did not feel there was any difference between the two, especially since this time the enthronement ceremony gave more money.
The common people soon forgot about Emperor Mu Zong and devoted themselves to infinite loyalty to the Queen.
After all, a few days ago, some rumors began to spread among the people through the teahouses controlled by Zhishan Academy and the mouths of storytellers.
"The Queen is kind-hearted and doesn't want to see the people suffer, so she wants to exempt Fengzhou from land tax for three years."
"What about going to Beijing?"
"I went to Beijing and said that I would waive the head tax for two years and let the people recuperate."
"That's great. Her Majesty the Queen really has a bodhisattva heart."
"Isn't that right? The Guanyin Bodhisattva in Wanshou Temple is exactly the same as Her Majesty the Queen."
"Nonsense, I heard someone say that Her Majesty the Queen is actually the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha."
"Namo Amitabha."
With this sacred cloak, the people seemed to readily accept Her Majesty the Queen's rule.
Although they did not have any ability to participate or make decisions, they cheered for Her Majesty the Queen's ascension to the throne and looked forward to better days in the future.
The cheers of the tens of millions of people in Shangjing were so shocking that even in front of Hanyuan Hall one could feel this surging enthusiasm.
[Your Majesty, remember not to show any negative emotions. 】
[The master has warned me many times, please be patient.]
Jing Yulong, Minister of the Ministry of War, used secret techniques to transmit sounds to remind King Jing who had just arrived today.
[Don’t worry, Yulong, oh, I forgot, you are not Yulong.]
[I am not a three-year-old child, I still have this kind of understanding. 】
[It’s just that the great opportunity was snatched away by others. I am still a little unwilling after all. 】
[Originally, the Blood Pill case broke out and there was a lot of dispute within the Maha Temple. We should have made a decisive decision and gained support.]
[As a result, he hesitated and lost the opportunity, but let the little girl Qinghe take the lead.]
King Jing smiled and nodded to other important ministers, but his heart was full of reluctance.
[And Liu Dutong is also a treacherous and cunning man. He came to see me some time ago. 】
[Backhand, let this Chu Qianqiu assist this little girl and ascend to the throne.]
【This is simply unreasonable.】
The Shadow Warrior of the Minister of War, Jing Yulong, was also sighing. After the blood pill case broke out, many forces saw the opportunity and believed that this was a good opportunity to weaken the royal family.
The old emperors were also aware of this, so they rushed to deal with it and prepared to transfer their bodies.
Even if there is no rebel like Chu Qianqiu, there are other rebels ready to take action.
Zen Master Zuyuan was willing to turn a blind eye in the past because he was worried that dealing with the royal family would cause countless variables.
As a result, they were still engaged in tandem, and Chu Qianqiu finished the matter, which made King Jing and others heartbroken.
Why did you start so quickly?
It's just like when everyone discovered a school of fish at sea and was about to sail there to salvage them, Chu Qianqiu, the bastard, went down with a net and caught them all.
Not a single fish was left for me.
King Jing asked himself that his self-cultivation was not bad, but he was also very angry.
[Your Majesty, please be patient, the master has made significant progress in Fengzhou. 】
[What's the progress?] King Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't expect that the shadow warrior would also bring information.
[Dou Xu has already made a move.] The shadow warrior whispered, even with the secret technique of sound transmission, he did not dare to speak too loudly.
[For the real information, please wait until the ceremony is over before I tell the prince.]
Yes, I am still a little impatient.
King Jing nodded secretly. The shadow warriors he trained were indeed quite outstanding. Under such circumstances, they could still notice such details.
However, no one should hear it.
King Jing suddenly felt a chill, and Chu Qianqiu was smiling from behind.
keep going.
I'm listening.
If you tell us all the conspiracy, we will save a lot of things when we go to Fengzhou.
Chu Qianqiu did not expect such an unexpected gain, so he looked at King Jing with a smile, making him shiver.
At the same time, the enthronement ceremony officially began.
The Ouchi Imperial Palace dispatched a total of ten martial arts masters, using their spiritual power to lift the Fengtian Tower high into the sky!
