Chapter 356 Coronation Ceremony (Part 2)

As for the nobles of New Ghis and other newly conquered areas who were originally aggrieved because they had just received notice of changes in the ritual process, in order to avoid being out of tune with the entire hall, or because they were worried that they would be seen by spies in the venue and be regarded as harboring feelings for the emperor. Dissatisfied, he had to join in the 'cheering'.

The shouting didn't end until a full three minutes after Ian reached the end of the hall.

Then came the magnificent and ethereal Gughis hymn, and the clear children's voices of the castrated slave singers echoed under the Great Pyramid.

Celia, the High Priest of the Red God of Meereen, the new Green Saint of Meereen, and the High Priest of the High Priest of Lazarin, walked into the hall one after another. The crowns, swords and scepters were placed on the trays in their hands.

Passing through the passage left by the crowd, the three of them walked all the way to Ian.

Just when everyone thought that Ian would kneel down to accept the coronation as usual to show the divine right of kings, the leaders of the three major religions knelt down one after another, prostrated in front of Ian, kissed the ground at his feet, and then placed the crown, The sword and the scepter are presented.

Standing next to Ian were three 'Royal Slaves' who had distinguished themselves in the Horse King's War. They were qualified to assist Ian in his coronation ceremony. The three people stepped forward to take three items from the three religious leaders and carefully put them on for Ian.

As Ian raised the scepter high, the entire hall suddenly shouted "Long Live the Emperor" again and knelt on the floor.

The next step is for the nobles to swear allegiance. Although most of Ian's important ministers have already sworn once, this oath also means being granted a title for the heroes, so they also need to do it alone.

At the same time, the order of granting titles has also become the object of their head-to-head competition.

The first person who came to Ian was Fermor Zo Nacroz.

When Ian used the 'dragon' as a bargaining chip to lure him in Astapo, he actually only viewed him as a victim. But as a senior Unsullied instructor, Fermor later not only proved his military talents, but also took the initiative to side with Ian many times, swore allegiance to him early, and successfully squeezed into the core circle of Ian's men.

Coupled with his later military exploits in Ghistaka and Kesai Pass, he deservedly became the representative of the Gith nobles under Ian's command, and the first person to be named one.

Fermor was named Duke of Koslak and was granted the city of Koslak southeast of Lazar and a large area of ​​land on the nearby Lazar plain. The reason why Ian did not give him Astapor was because Astapor was Ian's initial territory, almost all of the farming results completed by Ian with the help of engineer Adam are concentrated there.

Astapor is the same as Meereen, and Ian must stay as a county.

The second recipient is Hominus, the traitor of the Iron Bank. Firstly, the money, ships, and management he provided did make a huge contribution to the war. Secondly, he is not a Gith and can be used to balance the empire. Internal factions.

Hominus was made Count of Baharasi. Baharasi was in ruins. This was just an empty title, but he also received the positions of Imperial Finance Minister and head of the newly established Imperial Bank, which was regarded as the most powerful one. One of the important ministers.

The third person to be rewarded was Rohr. As Ian's earliest follower (NPC) and the leader of the slave army, he was very humble in being only ranked third, and no one could raise any objections.

The title Rohr received was also an empty title, but he obtained the position of First Marshal of the Empire and became the most senior military general under Ian. Loyalty is the most important thing for people in this position.

The fourth is the Commander-in-Chief of New Gith, Ereth Zo Emud, who was named Earl of New Gith. Ian has no power in New Gith, and he does not have the energy to lay out the same layout as Meereen or Volantis. For this city, it is the most cost-effective plan to directly hand over New Gis to the great noble Emud of New Gis, and then ask them to provide them with the elite Citizen Iron Legion.

The fifth person to be named was also Ian's NPC, the commander of the Guards Cavalry, Quego. Ian made him his bloodrider. The fact that a khal was canonized as a bloodrider was very rare in the history of Dothraki. It was unheard of, but along with the title 'Emperor of Valyria and Gith', Ian also received the title of 'Khal Dothraki'.

As 'Kaa's Kaa', appointing Kaa as his bloodrider naturally became Ian's unique power. The title should also give Ian the power to appoint Khals.

Therefore Iain planned to appoint several Dothraki 'kors' from the Praetorian Guard cavalry as Khals at the end of the investiture ceremony, and then fill their khalasar with those centaurs captured at Kesai Pass.

The sixth and seventh recipients were Grazdan zo Eraz and General Shake-Butt of Yunkai, who were both made earls. Yunkai is located between the counties of Astapor and Meereen, so It was impossible for Ian to seal it out, so Ian compensated the two people with Lazarin's land and gold, and continued to reuse Grazdan, keeping him in his royal council.

Then came Yon's intelligence chief Milda, followed by the nobles of Meereen and Lazarin.

In this way, based on the four indicators of merit, value, loyalty as judged by Ian, and faction balance, Ian rewarded his followers one by one, and then accepted the oath of allegiance from the newcomers.

The entire ceremony continued until the afternoon. According to the original plan, it was supposed to last until dusk, but Ian successfully shortened the process by half.

Eager to return to the River Rhoyne, Ian hurried back to the Great Pyramid after the ceremony.

He originally thought that he would be blocked by Daenerys to ask questions about freeing slaves, but unexpectedly, when Daenerys saw him again, she immediately apologized to Ian for her immature behavior just now.

Ian was a little confused. After asking Daenerys's maid, he learned that Celia had talked to the little queen after hearing her conversation with Daenerys at the Pyramid of Holy Grace.

Although I don’t know what Celia said specifically to Daenerys, judging from Daenerys’ guilty look, most likely Celia has ‘explained’ to her why the conditions are still immature, and deliberately emphasized that 'Ian's Dilemma'.

Ian didn't go into detail, as long as the problem was solved.

There was nothing in Meereen that he necessarily needed to deal with personally, so once back in his room, Ian returned to the bed and switched to Koru's body again.

It was still dark on the Lorne River at this moment. After Ian regrouped everyone who was resting, he continued the voyage to the Heartbreak Territory.
