The Chu Palace covers an area of 50,000 acres. Now it is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere. The avenues from south to north and from west to east are covered with red carpets and dragon lanterns and phoenixes are hung everywhere.
On both sides of the 20-mile-long palace main road from the palace gate to the Yangxin Hall, the imperial guards dressed in golden battle armor and holding eight-foot-long spears lined up in neat lines, guarding both sides of the road.
Four eunuchs and four maids carefully dressed Sun Ning in a solemn dragon robe and a heavenly crown.
The two palace maids looked at the young emperor's majestic and extraordinary appearance, and were very frightened. When they put on the dragon-coiling golden boots for him, their hands shook and their faces turned red.
"Your Majesty, good luck..."
"Tsk tsk! I'm not just talking nonsense, Your Majesty, your temperament and demeanor are more majestic than the real dragon in the sky..."
Several eunuchs were very clever and flattering.
Ever since he went to bathe and burn incense early in the morning, there was always a large group of people waiting around him, all trying to fawn over him. Sun Ning had long been bored. Even before he truly became the emperor, he already felt that this position was not fun.
Fortunately, less than half an hour later, the most auspicious moment for enthroning the throne in the past 500 years, calculated by the officials of the Imperial Palace, finally arrived.
Sun Ning came out of the palace and slowly walked up to the Qin Tiantai. Behind him were sixteen beauties selected from all over the Chu Dynasty to enrich his harem, and behind him were a number of female eunuchs.
There were also strong forest guards, carrying a huge pure gold dragon chair, holding the national jade seal, and various auspicious treasures, and left at the end.
The long procession walked slowly along the palace road lined with guards on both sides.
Sun Ning paced, trying to walk as smoothly and straightly as possible.
The eunuchs have repeatedly warned that the jade curtain on the crown facing the sky should not sway significantly when walking, otherwise it will damage the emperor's majesty.
It is best to take each step two feet, seven inches and eight minutes, so that it looks like a dragon and a tiger taking steps.
Keep your gaze straight ahead and do not look left or right.
Your expression should be calm and indifferent, and you should not be overly excited.
The amplitude of the arm swing should be moderate or moderate, and should not be flat or wide.
There are more than a hundred kinds of these in the emperor's daily behavioral norms alone.
After Sun Ning persisted for almost ten minutes, he suddenly became angry!
Why is Niang Xipi's father doing such a pretentious thing?
Walk?
Of course I have to walk, but not this way, but a long stride!
one two three!
Take big strides!
The next moment, the young emperor, who was walking steadily and looked extremely majestic, was more than twice as fast as before.
Those steps were so big and so fast, it didn't look like an emperor ascending the throne. It was like a meeting between lovers who had been waiting for a thousand years.
Sixteen beauties can’t keep up immediately!
Everyone was shocked.
What's going on?
Why is the emperor leaving so quickly?
Then the beauties let out cooing calls and trotted to catch up. The palace maids and eunuchs behind them also started running. Some even shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Slow down, please wait for me, slave..."
The imperial guards guarding both sides of the palace road looked at this scene, and their minds were a little confused.
I have never heard that the emperor’s enthronement was so unserious!
But who is our new emperor?
That is the most outstanding genius in the history of the Chu Dynasty. It is appropriate to be willful...
The two rows of jade curtains at the front and back of the imperial crown were swaying over Sun Ning's head, and the big beads and small beads were ringing loudly. Sun Ning ignored it and strode forward. In just a few minutes, he was about to leave when the emperor ascended the throne.
After half an hour of walking along the palace road, we arrived at the Qintian Terrace.
What? Too fast?
It would be great if I don’t fly!
I'm very busy, and I don't have time to mess around with you here!
Sun Ning stood on the Qin Tiantai, picked up three red incense sticks that were one meter long and thicker than a thumb. He ignored the ten rituals before offering sacrifices to heaven and directly lit a real fire.
The smell of strong cigarette smoke slowly filled the air.
Sun Ning held the incense in his hand, bowed deeply, and placed the incense in the purple and gold incense burner that was half a person's height.
All of a sudden, the dense crowd under the Qin Tiantai knelt down, kowtowed three times in unison, and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to my emperor on his enthronement! Long live my emperor, long live my emperor..."
When the emperor ascends the throne, he must worship heaven and earth on the Qin Tiantai, light these three incense sticks, and pray to God for good weather, good weather, peace for the country, and peace for the people, even if he becomes the emperor.
In Sun Ning's consciousness, the system prompt also arrived at the moment when the incense burning was completed.
[Congratulations! You have completed the long-term main mission (becoming the emperor of the Chu Dynasty) and gained 10 million experience, 5 million vitality, 1 million experience and 1 million reputation points! 】
[Congratulations! You have won the long-term main mission reward: Bahuang Compass! 】
[Congratulations! You have received God’s approval and received a volume of imperial decree!]
"Bahuang Compass?"
Sun Ning's heart skipped a beat. The large amount of experience, vitality and other resources required to complete this main mission no longer even aroused his interest.
All attention fell on the space cabinet. One side was engraved with various inscriptions and symbols, and there was a golden pointer on it.
As soon as Sun Ning thought about it, the information from the Bahuang Compass had already poured into his sea of consciousness.
"Sure enough, it is the Eight Desolate Compass that determines the direction of the formation and the positions of each formation. It is known as a powerful weapon to break the formation! And the more dangerous the place, the more the Eight Desolate Compass can provide guidance, seek good luck and avoid disaster, it is wonderful!"
Sun Ning was overjoyed and said to himself: "I will go back to the secret room later to take some measurements to see what mysteries are hidden in that weird formation!"
In addition, there is a golden scroll in the space cabinet, which looks very majestic. It is naturally the imperial edict prompted by the system.
"Exploring this imperial edict actually costs a thousand lives, which is twice as expensive as the Bahuang Compass! Is this thing more precious than the Bahuang Compass?"
Sun Ning was slightly surprised, and paused for a moment with his golden eye skills. He was about to continue investigating when he heard a shrill and weak cry for help coming from the distance!
"Report! The Wei Dynasty's millions of troops invaded our Chu State, and twenty-one cities fell..."
Sun Ning frowned, and in a flash, he had already arrived in front of the man who was covered in blood and wanted to come in to report the news, but was stopped by the imperial guards and screamed for help.
This man was just dressed as usual, not wearing a military uniform, and he was attending the coronation ceremony of the new emperor, so he would naturally be killed by the imperial guards.
Sun Ning took a small treasure-returning pill for him and said gently: "What's going on, don't be anxious, tell me slowly!"
The man burst into tears and said: "Three days ago, King Wei personally led a million troops and came to Baoxian County without anyone noticing. He washed the city with blood and left no one alive. He also set fire to the city and reduced Baoxian County to ashes.
Scorched earth! Then, the Wei army waved
The division went south and invaded and occupied twelve cities in nine counties of Chu. Those Wei people who committed extremely evil crimes came and massacred them all the way. Chu has fallen into twenty-one cities, and more than 3.6 million innocent people died tragically under their butcher knives.
…”
Sun Ning's face suddenly turned cold. (To be continued)
