The South has been destroyed, the West has also been destroyed, while the North surrendered. And now, the four countries were unified!
The Emperor of the East’s last hope was for Shi Qianqian to kill Xiao Tianyao. After learning that Shi Qianqian was defeated at the hands of Xiao Tianyao, the Emperor of the East gave up completely and took out the abdication edict he had written early on.
Yes, he hasn’t used it. Even though, it can’t be said that he hasn’t abdicated until now.
On the day when Xiao Tianyao pacified the South, the West, and the North, he moved his troops back to the imperial capital. The Emperor led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city ten miles to welcome him personally and announced on the spot that he would abdicate in favor of others.
Xiao Tianyao followed the crowd and was polite, refusing again and again. After refusing for the third time, he “reluctantly” agreed.
Since then, the East has changed its dynasties, the four countries have become history, and the world has opened a new chapter……
Ten days later, Xiao Tianyao announced the unification of the four countries at the coronation ceremony, restored the name of the Shengyuan Dynasty, continued the calendar of the Shengyuan Dynasty, and claimed the throne as the 23rd Emperor of the Shengyuan Dynasty.
When he announced that the title of the Shengyuan Dynasty had been restored, the old ministers of the Shengyuan Dynasty walked in from outside the palace, knelt on the ground, and knelt to worship the new emperor.
At this time, the world knew that Xiao Tianyao was a descendant of the Shengyuan Dynasty. He was not ambitious to unify the four kingdoms but wanted to restore the country with a heavy responsibility.
“Long live the Emperor!” Among them, some old men were more than seventy years old. They were gray-haired and could not walk steadily, but they knelt firmly and shouted with great joy.
“Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!” Some young people have been living in the dark, living in the mountains, living in seclusion, and have learned a lot, but have nowhere to put it to use. But now, they have the opportunity to use it and get ahead.
Because of their family’s training, they knew they were from the Shengyuan Dynasty. They will never leave the mountain if the Shengyuan Dynasty ceases to exist.
Their fathers and grandfathers died in the mountains. Their fathers and grandfathers could not see the return of the Shengyuan Dynasty, but they did. How lucky they were.
“Long live the Emperor!” One voice was louder than the other. There were not many veterans of the Shengyuan Dynasty, only a hundred or so at best, but their shouts were powerful and resounded through the sky.
“Zifu, have you seen that they are the servants of our Shengyuan Dynasty? They will only be loyal to the Shengyuan Dynasty, and will only work hard for the descendants of Shengyuan from generation to generation.” Xiao Tianyao was sitting on the dragon throne, wearing the emperor’s dragon robe. He called Xiao Zifu, then pointed at the old ministers kneeling on the ground. He told him to remember the faces of these people clearly.
No matter what happens in the future, at least at this moment, these people were loyal to their Shengyuan Dynasty. Their ancestors made countless sacrifices for the Shengyuan Dynasty. As descendants of the Shengyuan Dynasty, they must remember their merits.
“Father, I remember it!” Xiao Zifu was wearing the simplest version of the prince’s court uniform, but he looked stylish and full of momentum.
After the ministers paid their respects, the enthronement ceremony came to an end. Finally, Xiao Tianyao announced the appointment of the Empress and the Crown Prince.
None of the courtiers had any objections to this. The Emperor had a wife and children, so it was normal for him to designate his wife as Empress and his eldest son as Crown Prince.
As for the matter of having a concubine?
Everyone knew that their new emperor was deeply in love with the Empress, so how could he have a concubine?
And the most important thing was, the Jinwuwei Army was in the hands of the Empress. The Empress held the strongest troops of the Shengyuan Dynasty. If the Emperor wanted to have a concubine, was he trying to force the Empress to rebel?
If they persuade the Emperor to accept a concubine, won’t they offend the Empress and force her to raid their house?
Xiao Tianyao was truly wise. As early as when Lin Chujiu led the troops to fight against the Southern Barbarians, Xiao Tianyao handed over the Jinwuwei Army to her and asked Lin Chujiu to replace his men.
Now, although Xiao Tianyao can also mobilize the Jinwuwei Army, he can only do so with Lin Chujiu’s consent. Without Lin Chujiu’s nod, no one in the Shengyuan Dynasty has the right to mobilize the Jinwuwei Army.
Military power was the imperial power. Lin Chujiu, who holds numerous soldiers, has all the power in the world. Even the Emperor, Xiao Tianyao, has to think twice about offending her.
Of course, they have a good relationship as husband and wife, so there was no question of who should please whom. It was enough for them to know this kind of thing themselves, and there was no need to tell outsiders.
The four countries were unified, and the world was initially settled. Xiao Tianyao was busy with post-war reconstruction, reintegrating the four countries and striving to create a grand event of the Shengyuan Dynasty as soon as possible.
Just after the war, when Xiao Tianyao had not yet announced that he was a descendant of Shengyuan, the people of the East still had a sense of superiority and believed that the people of the South, the West, and the North were inferior to them.
Similarly, the people of the South, the West, and the North also felt very uneasy. They feared being bullied, so they were very resistant to the unification of the four countries, but……
When Xiao Tianyao ascended the throne and announced that he was a descendant of the Shengyuan Dynasty and that he was restoring the country, the people of the South, the West, and the North felt relieved. And when they heard the news, tears filled their eyes, and they knelt one after another.
The Shengyuan Dynasty, they were finally the people of the Shengyuan Dynasty again. They’re finally back, and they finally no longer have to be exploited by the Central Empire.
The powerful, prosperous, and prosperous Shengyuan Dynasty that their grandfather and father talked about was back. From now on, they will be the people of the Shengyuan Dynasty, the people of the powerful Shengyuan Dynasty. Even if they face the people of the Central Empire, they will have confidence. No, they were no longer inferior to the Central Empire.
“There is no such thing as the Southern, the Western, and the Northern citizens. We are all from the Shengyuan Dynasty. We were originally from the Shengyuan Dynasty.”
“We are from the Shengyuan Dynasty, and we will never be bullied by the Central Empire again in the future.”
“The Shengyuan Dynasty has been restored. We can finally straighten our backs and enter the Central Empire with dignity. We no longer have to be afraid of people from the Central Empire.”
“In the future, we will be able to eat well, clothed warmly, and there will be no more wars.”
Although the Shengyuan Dynasty was destroyed, its remaining power remained. The people of the South, the West, and the North rejected the East’s unification of the world, but they did not reject the restoration of the Shengyuan Dynasty.
The East’s domination of the world showed that they were inferior to them, but the restoration of the Shengyuan Dynasty showed that all of them were the same.
Similarly, the original officials and nobles of the South, the West, and the North were no longer worried. They were not worried that they would be squeezed out or that they would not be important. This was not the world of the East, but the world of the Shengyuan Dynasty.
To the Shengyuan Dynasty, regardless of whether they were from the East, the South, the West, and the North, they were all traitors, but they were also subjects of the Shengyuan Dynasty. All of them were equal, and no one was superior to the other. No one was inferior to anyone.
The identity of a descendant of the Shengyuan Dynasty and the slogan of rebuilding the prosperity of the Shengyuan Dynasty eliminated the conflicts between the four countries, tightly united the people of the four countries, and allowed the people of the four countries to consciously bear what had been imprinted on them.
At this moment, they were just ordinary people of the Shengyuan Dynasty!
