Two days later, it was the day when Chu Xuanchen held the enthronement ceremony.
On the day of the enthronement ceremony, national leaders and dignitaries from surrounding countries came to Chu State one after another to celebrate Chu Xuanchen's enthronement.
The battle between Chu Xuanchen and Feng Lingtian immediately made him famous, and also made the surrounding countries realize the military power of Chu State.
At this time, the reputation of Chu State frightened everyone in the world, and Chu State's army and firearms were also feared, causing all countries to panic. For the time being, no one dared to invade again.
Seeing that Chu State suddenly became so powerful, the surrounding small countries also sent kings, queens and others, bringing generous gifts to attend Chu Xuanchen's enthronement ceremony.
They tried to form an alliance with the Chu State and wanted to rely on this big tree to protect themselves.
So on this day, the Imperial Palace of Chu State gathered together leaders and dignitaries from all over the world, making it very lively.
At this time, in the announcement room of the main hall of Jinluan Hall, Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue had already changed into their costumes and were preparing to take the civil and military officials of the Chu State and the royal relatives to the Fengtian Hall to worship heaven and earth and the ancestral hall.
This is the first step in the enthronement ceremony. It is very solemn, so the expressions on everyone's faces are very solemn.
Today, Chu Xuanchen wore a bright yellow dragon robe with gilt piping and a golden crown on his head. He looked sparkling, domineering and majestic.
Yun Ruoyue, on the other hand, changed from her usual elegant dress. She put on exquisite makeup and wore a red phoenix robe.
The phoenix robe is embroidered with a phoenix spreading its wings and about to fly. It looks gorgeous, dazzling and extraordinary.
And she also wore a golden nine-winged phoenix hairpin on her head. This phoenix hairpin made her glittering, noble and elegant, and extremely beautiful.
At this time, Li Jinzhong respectfully stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived. Please move to Fengtian Hall and prepare to worship heaven and earth."
After Chu Xuanchen nodded, he said: "Okay, dear friends, come with me and set off!"
"Yes." The ministers immediately replied.
"Wait a minute!" Just when Chu Xuanchen was about to lead everyone to Fengtian Hall, a sharp female voice suddenly came from outside the main hall.
Everyone looked up and saw Su Ruoxue, who was wearing a pure red phoenix robe, leading several palace maids and walking in coldly.
Everyone suddenly looked shocked.
Why is it her? Why is the former Queen Su Ruoxue here? Wasn't she thrown into the cold palace?
Seeing Su Ruoxue, Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue looked at each other.
This woman, what is she doing here? Is she here to cause trouble?
When Su Ming saw Su Ruoxue, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and he silently took two steps back, as if he didn't exist.
Su Ruoxue just walked in, and she stared at Chu Xuanchen coldly, pointed at him, and said sternly: "Chu Xuanchen, you regicide and rebellious traitor, you killed the emperor, plotted to usurp the throne, and imprisoned the children of this palace.
, you are not worthy of being the emperor of Chu, let alone holding a coronation ceremony!"
Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath.
This Su Ruoxue is so brave. She dares to come in and confuse right and wrong and maliciously slander her. Is she going to die?
Seeing this, Li Jin hurriedly stepped forward and shouted angrily: "How dare you, today is the grand day of the emperor's enthronement, you, a sinful woman, dare to trespass?"
"Sinful woman? Humph! I am a legitimate former empress, not a criminal woman at all. You can't do the same thing and tell lies!" Su Ruoxue said coldly.
Li Jin sneered, "Humph, I think you are the one who is uttering lies. The person standing in front of you is the legitimate son of the late emperor. The new emperor holds the imperial edict of succession and is the legitimate heir. You can't talk nonsense.
Language, confusing right and wrong!"
"Yes! The new emperor is the real dragon emperor recognized by the world, and you, the so-called former queen, have long been thrown into the cold palace by Chu Yao for the crime of rebellion. And now Chu Yao himself is a traitor and traitor, and you, as his
His wife is adding more sin to sin. Someone, pull this sinful woman down, don't let her miss the auspicious time for the new emperor to worship heaven!" Jiang Ning said sternly.
"Wait a minute! What, are you scared? So you are anxious to drive me away, right?" Seeing that she was about to be driven away, Su Ruoxue shouted hysterically.
Jiang Ning was about to speak when Chu Xuanchen stepped forward and looked at Su Ruoxue coldly, then raised his head and said coldly: "Okay, Su, I'm right here. If you have anything to say, tell me.
Let’s see what truth you can come up with!”
"Okay, Chu Xuanchen, you dare to talk to me, you have some talent!" Su Ruoxue sneered, glanced at everyone in the hall, and said, "You rebellious officials and traitors actually elected a warrior to be the emperor. Chu
Xuan Chen, I want to ask you, can you be the emperor? Do you know how to govern the country? If you don’t know, you should abdicate as soon as possible and don’t occupy this position and fool the people of the world!"
Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "The so-called way of governing a country is first and foremost to govern the country according to the law and implement benevolent government. The people are the most important, the country is the second, and the king is the least. If you want to make the country rich, you must first make the people rich. As the saying goes, you can only know the etiquette if you are honest.
, when people have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace. If the people are rich, it is easy to govern, but if the people are poor, it is difficult to govern. Therefore, the first thing I do after taking the throne is to develop the economy, encourage farming, allow trade, and improve people's livelihood. Let the people be rich and have no worries about food and clothing.
, the country is stable, this is the way to govern the country!"
Hearing Chu Xuanchen's words loudly, Su Ruoxue was stunned for a moment.
She always thought that Chu Xuanchen was just a warrior who was good at fighting, but she didn't expect that he was also very eloquent in governing the country.
But she wouldn't give in to him just because of his words.
She said coldly: "Huh, you talk nice, but what achievements have you made since you came to the throne?"
Chu Xuanchen said solemnly: "Since it is an achievement, it cannot be said by me. Of course, it must be said by the people of the world."
Li Jin immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "Xiaguan is also a member of the people of the world. I can speak on behalf of the people of the world."
As he spoke, he held his head high and said: "Since the emperor came to the throne, he has driven away foreign enemies and defended the country. He has rectified the administration, opened up the public, eliminated corrupt officials, and re-enacted laws. He has also made decisions for the people, redressed grievances for upright officials, and stabilized the order of the court.
, bringing stability to the government and the public, and ruling the world with virtue, are these not considered the emperor’s achievements?”
Jiang Ning immediately stood up and said: "Not only that, the emperor has been diligent and caring for the people since he came to the throne. He often stays up late to correct memorials and deal with state affairs, and never feels tired. The emperor also knows people well and has the courage to accept advice, loves the people like a son, and is kind and generous.
Together with the Queen, he led the people to farm and formulated several policies that were beneficial to the people. These policies are related to the people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the officials below are also working on it in full swing. How can these not be considered achievements? "
After hearing what the two of them said, Su Ruoxue was startled and took two steps back.
