Text Chapter 619: Duke of Wei
On June 15th, Lanyan City, the National Restoration Ceremony.
The periphery of Zetian Temple was officially opened to civilians, so that it was almost overcrowded. More than 100,000 civilians gathered outside Zetian Temple Square to wait for the king ceremony.
In the hall, the officials were silent.
The throne is empty, no one is in charge of the artifact, and the two kings Feng Jixing and Qin Yan are just standing at the bottom of the king's steps with their weapons in their hands. They defeated the rebels in the Yihe Kingdom and repelled the demons, but Qin Yin is dead, Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi's whereabouts are unknown, the empire is unified, but the hearts of the people are not unified. This is not happy anyway.
"Are you ready, Ah Yan?" Feng Jixing asked in a low voice.
"En." Qin Yan was a little nervous, holding the handle of the saber tightly, and at the same time tightened the chain of the armor a little bit.
Feng Jixing smiled slightly, and said: "Mr. Zhong, let's go out. All the people in the world have been waiting for a long time. It should be no problem for you to call me?"
Zeng Yifan respectfully said: "His Royal Highness, this is the honor of this veteran."
"Well, let's go, Ayan."
Feng Jixing bumped Qin Yan's shoulder lightly, and walked out of the hall side by side with him. At present, the two kings with the highest positions in the world are Feng Jixing and Qin Yan. Of course, the real masters are indeed sleeping in the blood-red Lin Muyu in the abyss, Feng Jixing is the king of faith, Qin Yan is the king of loyalty, but Lin Muyu's title is the country title "King of Qin", who is the true default ruler of the empire at a glance.
When Feng Jixing and Qin Yan walked out of the hall wearing a golden cloak, the crowd outside suddenly burst into shouts. The civilians of the empire suffered from the war, and now they finally ushered in the unification of the empire and drove away the cruel demons. This is the result they have been looking forward to for a long time.
After the second king, Xiang Yu, Luo Xin, Wei Chou and others followed one by one. When a group of important ministers all came to the altar outside the main hall, Zeng Yifan came to the front wearing a purple robe and holding a golden imperial edict. Raise the imperial edict, spread the power contained in the sanctuary in the voice, and said loudly: "By heaven and virtue, the emperor's edict!"
Immediately, all the tens of thousands of imperial guards outside the main hall knelt down, and the civilians in the distance also knelt down one after another.
Zeng Yifan unfolded the scroll, and read in a very penetrating voice: "Her Highness Qin Yin, the Empress, ascended to practice, and specially granted the three kings to rule the world on her behalf. Promote the world, canonize as the King of Qin, command the forbidden army Feng Jixing, have meritorious service in eradicating the rogues in the south of the Lingnan, canonize as Xinwang, guard the southern border, and command the Qin Yan of the Imperial Forest Army, he is the son of King Ning Qin Xuan, the blood of Daqin, and has contributed to the recovery of Tianshu Province , Canonized as King Zhong, guarding the northern border, so far, King Qin, King Xin, and King Zhong will rule the world, and they will surely be rained down by the common people!"
Feng Jixing and Qin Yan knelt down together.
The female officer Shangguan Jingyue stepped forward, holding the king's sword seal in her hand, and bestowed them one by one. Feng Jixing held the king's seal, with mixed feelings in his heart. If he could choose, he would rather be the unrestrained commander of the imperial army. But now that Qin Yin has passed away, Lin Muyu is not here. If he doesn't stand up, the Great Qin Empire will definitely be stolen by others. At least, before Qin Yin and Lin Muyu return, he will take care of this huge country on his behalf.
Qin Yan's face was a little excited. After all, a man should have made some achievements while he was alive, and now his lord is already a great minister. If his father and elder brother were still alive, they should be proud of their current status, right?
...
Zeng Yifan took another imperial edict and continued to read loudly: "Canonize Pingnan Marquis Xiang Yu as the Duke of the Southern Kingdom to guard the province of Mingshan, canonize Luo Xin, the adopted son of King Su Muyun of Yunzhong, as the Duke of the Northern Kingdom to guard the Yunzhongxing Province, canonize Wei Chou, the deputy commander of the Gendan Corps, as the Duke of Wei, guarding the Lingdong province, and canonize the god Hou Zeng Yifan as the Duke of Zhong, guarding the Qihai province!"
Xiang Yu, Luo Xin, and Wei Chou knelt down one after another, and Shangguan Jingyue bestowed the new Duke's sword seal again.
Zeng Yifan paused his voice, and said loudly again: "Canonize Xu Jiantao as Marquis of Cangnan, guarding the province of Cangnan; canonize Baili Cang as Marquis of Canghai, to command the Imperial Navy; canonize Tangzhen as Marquis of Zhenxi, to command the Zhen Guojun ; Yaoyuan is still the Marquis of Jinghai, guarding the province of Lingkong; Canonize Su Yu as Marquis of Xining, guarding the province of Tianshu, all princes must do their best to assist the three kings in governing the world."
Five people knelt down one after another to accept the canonization.
The Three Kings, Four Dukes, and Five Marquises have created a new ruling structure of the Great Qin Empire, and it is this pattern that has kept the Great Qin Empire in peace for more than ten years!
...
Later, various ministers, ministers, etc. were canonized, and the empire took on a new look.
In the evening, hold a banquet in Zetian Hall to entertain the ministers.
Zetian Temple is still the same as it used to be, but there is no owner. After the canonization ceremony, Feng Jixing will return to Sunset City soon to train soldiers and horses, and guard the southern border, while Qin Yan will be in charge of the troops of the eight major provinces in Lingbei Dispatch, Wei Chou, as the Duke of Wei and the commander of the Longdan Battalion, has the most arduous task, going to the Lingdong province to rebuild Lingdong, counteract and destroy the demons.
During the exchange of toasts, everyone drank too much.
The weather in June was already very hot, and a group of ministers drank up and down. Everyone knew that there was no emperor in the empire, only three kings.
The Duke of Wei, Wei Chou, came outside the hall holding the half-sprinkled wine glass, sat down on the bottom of the stone pillar, looked at the bright moon in the sky, got drunk, and thought of Qin Yin's death, Tang Xiaoxi's disappearance, Lin Muyu's death... His heart was ashamed, and he couldn't help the tears rolling down his face. He was promoted to the Duke of Wei. He didn't feel honor and favor, but only bitterness.
"Dignified Duke Wei, hiding here and crying alone, what does it look like?"
Feng Jixing's voice came from behind him. He was wearing a king's gilded cloak on his armor, and he was holding the golden jue in his hand. He sat down beside Wei Chou, looking towards the south, and listening to the music of the musicians in the palace behind him. Playing music, Feng Jixing couldn't help feeling sad in his heart, his eyes turned red, and he turned his face to wipe away his tears. Indeed, there was nothing to be happy about.
Wei Chou smiled slightly: "King Xin, why are you here?"
"You should still call me Commander Feng."
Feng Jixing raised his head and drank the top-quality Yinhua wine in Jinjue, and said: "Wei Qiu, although our empire now has such a sharp weapon as the magic crystal cannon, we still can't underestimate the demons. I think the giant flying snakes of the demons You know better than anyone how terrifying it is, and the Lonely Army of the Long Dan Battalion must be careful when going deep into the Lingdong Province, our plan is to stick to the defense and not take the initiative to provoke and attack, Qianfeng is a person who cannot be underestimated."
"The subordinates know, but the Gendan Battalion has suffered a serious reduction in personnel, and I am afraid it will be difficult to fight the demons alone."
"Don't worry about it." Feng Jixing said with a smile: "In this month, I will select soldiers who have experienced many battles from the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Lingnan to supplement the Long Dan Battalion and expand the Long Dan Battalion to 100,000 soldiers. In addition, I have discussed with A Yan, and I will give you a reserve corps of 100,000 people for you to practice on your own. We will provide you with all the strategic materials needed by Lingdong Province Prepare enough to transport them from Lingnan and Lingbei to Lingdong province."
"Well, that's great."
Feng Jixing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Wei Qiu, you can become the commander of an army of 200,000 at such a young age. You have a bright future. Grasp this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Wei Chou felt a little sentimental, and said, "I'd rather be that... a general who obeys orders under the Commander's command."
"People have to grow, this is your practice." Feng Jixing took a deep look at him, and said: "Before Ah Yu came back, you were his incarnation, you should understand."
"I know I know……"
Wei Chou took a deep breath and asked, "Commander Feng, as His Royal Highness Xin Wang, you are about to go to guard Lingnan, but the chaos in Lingnan has just subsided, do you have the confidence to rule this chaotic land in Lingnan?"
"Haha, don't worry." Feng Jixing said confidently, "The 300,000 Seven Seas City's elite soldiers are in my hands, enough to guard Lingnan, not to mention that many of the commanders of the Seven Seas City Legion have become mine. My confidant, you can rest assured about this."
"Ah That's good."
At this moment, a young general walked over holding a wine glass, wearing three gold stars on his collar. He was a commanding general and said with a respectful smile, "His Royal Highness Xin, why did you come out? Brothers are waiting for you to drink!"
"Come right away." Feng Jixing laughed and said, "Wei Qiu, let me introduce you, this little general is Chen Xiaoli, the son of Chen Chong, the commander of the Zhanghe Legion in Qihai City. Commander of the Zhanghe Legion, even though he is young, he is a talented general who can stand on his own!"
After seeing Wei Chou, Chen Xiaoli's eyes lit up, and he cupped his fists respectfully and said, "The last general, Chen Xiaoli, see Duke Wei!"
"Commander Chen, you don't need to be polite." Wei Chou returned an imperial military salute, and said, "His Royal Highness Xin has such young and capable generals under his command, it seems that my worries are a bit unnecessary."
"Hahaha." Feng Jixing said: "Commander Chen, you go back to have a drink first, I will come after we chat with Wei Chou for a few more words."
"Yes, Your Highness Xin Wang, come quickly."
"Ha, let's go."
Feng Jixing turned around, with a serious expression on his smiling face, and said, "Wei Qiu, there is one more thing you need to do when you go to Lingdong province this time."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"We received a secret report that a farmer had seen Princess Xi in the fields of Lingdong Province. She was imprisoned in a huge crystal and was unconscious."
"What, Princess Xi!?" Wei Chou stood up abruptly, and said, "This...how is this possible? Doesn't it mean that Princess Xi is dead?"
"From now on, Princess Xi is not dead." Feng Jixing murmured, and said, "I can no longer feel Ah Yu's breath in the blood-red abyss. He should have entered a deep sleep state. Two people can wake up Ayu, one is His Royal Highness Yin, but she is no longer there, and the other is Princess Xi, as long as we find Princess Xi, we can wake up Ayu, Princess Xi is probably with the demons, how can you do it? Ask about it."
"Well, this subordinate understands!"
Feng Jixing nodded, a bright light shot out of his eyes, and said, "I also really want to ask Tang Xiaoxi why she killed His Highness Qin Yin so cruelly!"
