Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

The fifth day of November.

In the large square in front of the Weiyang Palace, the snow from last night had been cleared away by the palace servants, and the warm winter sun shone down, dispelling the severe cold of mid-winter.

Xie Lang was wearing a twelve-chapter robe embroidered with the sun, moon and stars, and a twelve-tassel crown on his head. Surrounded by a ceremonial guard, he slowly stepped onto the white marble steps in the square.

Reaching the top of the stairs, Xie Lang turned around and looked down at the densely packed crowd of ministers in the square. His gaze was deep and long, and a vast and boundless imperial aura emanated from Xie Lang, as if the gods in heaven were overlooking the world.

The next moment, the ceremonial officer sang along, and all the ministers bowed down in the direction of Xie Lang, performing the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows.

"Your Majesty, I bow to you. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

Everyone shouted "Long live the emperor" in unison, and the sound was so loud that it could be heard throughout the Daliang Palace.

Xie Lang stood at the highest point, accepting the kneeling kowtows of all the officials. After the ceremony was over, the princess's former household official Xiao Qian took over as the ceremonial officer to read out the edict of accession to the throne.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

At that time, my elder brother, the Emperor, was trapped in the enemy camp and the country was in jeopardy. However, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. In this precarious time, I accepted the order to support the collapsing building, save the country from danger, stabilize the court and comfort the people.

Today, the national situation is critical, the national strength is exhausted, the Khitan is eyeing us covetously, and the people on the border are in danger. In such a critical situation, we still need all the ministers to unite against the enemy and fight against the foreign enemies together.

…………

I ascended the throne in front of the Weiyang Palace, named the reign title Tianming, and honored my elder brother, the Emperor Emeritus, as the Supreme Emperor, and the Empress as the Supreme Empress.

Announce it to the world and send envoys to hear it. "

After the accession edict was read, all officials shouted "Long live the emperor" again, and the status was decided at this moment.

Xie Lang officially became the monarch of Dayan.

Xie Lang looked through the tassels hanging from the crown toward the distant horizon. The sky was azure blue, and the water vapor refracted light under the sunlight. Although it was winter, it did not feel extremely cold, but instead was full of vitality.

She named the reign title "Tianming". Firstly, it announced to the world that she was the Mandate of Heaven. Second, it declared that Dayan's victory was the will of Heaven. She would lead Dayan into a new era.

After a busy whole day, the coronation ceremony came to an end.

Changle Palace is a palace complex where the emperor worked and rested.

After the ceremony was over, Xie Lang took off his heavy crown and put on light casual clothes.

The palace maids of Princess Nanyang's Mansion were also transferred to Changle Palace. Of course, the men working in the Princess' Mansion were not transferred in.

After Xie Lang finished his dinner, he looked through the list of court ministers in the Guangming Hall of Changle Palace.

She planned to promote Wei Renda to the position of prime minister. As a result, the positions of the six ministers would all be vacant. Except for the position of minister, other official positions were also seriously vacant. Some government offices even had only one official. Due to the shortage of staff, most officials had to hold multiple positions.

It seems that the imperial examination can not be delayed.

At this moment, a female official came in and said respectfully to Xie Lang, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager requests an audience."

Xie Lang did not like eunuchs, so he transferred the important positions around her to the female officials, and from then on, the reading of imperial edicts and the responsibility of internal and external communication were left to the female officials.

The rank of female officials was also improved, and the original six Shangs were promoted from the fifth rank to the third rank, and other official positions were also promoted accordingly. The one who came in to report at this time was Shang Gong, one of the six Shangs. In addition to Shang Gong, the six Shangs also included Shang Yi, Shang Shi, Shang Fu, Shang Qin, and Shang Gong.

Of course, Xie Lang was not satisfied with this division. After the court situation stabilized, the female officials would be divided again.

"The Empress Dowager? Please ask her to come in."

Xie Lang put down the list of ministers in his hand. The Empress Dowager was Li Chongguang's queen. As an emperor, Li Chongguang naturally had concubines in the harem. She had not yet figured out how to settle these concubines, whether to let them continue to live in the original palace or move to another place.

These concubines were a bit pitiful, especially the Empress Dowager Wei Shuying. When Li Chongguang was trapped in the enemy camp, she cried all day long. And the first thing Li Chongguang did after his restoration was to depose the queen and make Jiang Xinbai the queen. He believed that only a woman like Jiang Xinbai who had been with him through life and death was worthy of being his queen.

Of course, the misery of these concubines had nothing to do with her, as they were not her concubines. But think about it, although she did not need a harem, it would be troublesome to allow these concubines to move around in the harem. It would be better to leave this matter to the Ministry of Rites. They were good at this kind of thing, so she would not bother with it.

Just at this moment, Wei Shuying walked in, her eyes were red, probably because she had been crying.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Xie Lang looked at Wei Shuying and asked someone to bring a seat.

Wei Shuying didn't take a seat. When she saw Xie Lang, she knelt down with a plop. She cried, "Your Majesty, the retired emperor is far away in Khitan. As the queen, I can't bear the punishment for him. I feel uneasy. Khitan is in a very cold place. He is weak and can't bear so much suffering. I want to write a letter and knit some clothes. Please send someone to pass it to the retired emperor."

Wei Shuying started to cry as she spoke, and she knelt down to Xie Lang again and again. In fact, as the Empress Dowager, she did not need to bow to Xie Lang, but for Li Chongguang, she put aside her dignity as the Empress.

Wei Shuying actually wanted to give Li Chongguang some property, but Xie Lang had warned her long ago not to give Khitan anything. She did not dare to anger Xie Lang, so she compromised and planned to send him some winter clothes. This was not money, so she should be able to send it.

"According to reports from the frontline soldiers, my brother has a woman with him in Khitan. Her name is Jiang Xinbai, and they are in a happy relationship. My brother even said in front of outsiders, 'Only Xinbai is my only wife.' Sister-in-law, don't you feel resentful?"

In Li Jingming's previous life, Wei Shuying did not offend her, so Xie Lang had no opinion about her.

As long as you don't provoke her, everything will be fine, but once you provoke her, no matter whether you have your reasons or not, she will not let you go easily.

Wei Shuying was stunned for a moment after hearing what she said, then she smiled with relief: "I am not by the emperor's side, and I am already derelict in my duty if I cannot take care of him all the time. Now there are other women taking care of him on my behalf. I am grateful, so how can I have any complaints?"

"If...if the emperor wants to appoint another queen, I...I am willing to abdicate and let someone else take over."

Although Wei Shuying said this, Xie Lang still noticed a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

But there was only loneliness, no other emotions, no resentment, jealousy, unwillingness, etc.

"Even though my brother is not by my side, life still has to go on. I should think more about myself. After all, we only have one short life. Don't waste your youth on someone who is not worthy." Xie Lang continued, "That's all I have to say. I won't mention it again."

Xie Lang doesn't like to impose her own thoughts on others. This is Wei Shuying's own life and she will not interfere. She has done her best by saying this.

As for what choice Wei Shuying will make, that is none of her business.

"Your Majesty, what I want is..."

Wei Shuying was so focused on Li Chongguang that she didn't listen to Xie Lang at all. She was still thinking about sending him clothes.

"Your Majesty, please."

Xie Lang smiled. She respected the other party's choice and then made a "please" gesture.

After Wei Shuying left, Xie Lang went back to work.

Prepare for matters that need to be discussed at tomorrow's grand court meeting.
