Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 206

The gongs and drums were in full swing, the palace was dyed in festive colors, the snow was cleared, and a huge pomp was put on, because a ceremony to seal the queen was about to begin.

Zhuang Xun personally supervised and took out the gold and silver decorations from the treasury. Speaking of the destruction of You Kingdom, there was no major turmoil and the treasury was relatively intact.

Coral pearls, jade gems, silk brocade, gold and silver decorations were well preserved, and Zhuang Xun was not stingy about using them, decorating them everywhere to look luxurious and luxurious. The precious red carpet stretched out, and gems were inlaid throughout the palace.

Glaze decorates the pavilion, colorful ribbons dance in the wind, rehearsing dancers walk on the terrace, Zhuang Xun strives for excellence, and he obviously has a compensatory mentality in this ceremony.

He changed his usual stinginess and became generous. He mobilized a large number of manpower and called all the officials to line up on both sides. Those who didn't know thought it was Zhuang Xun who had ascended the throne.

This kind of pomp made Baiguan shake his head, but when he thought that it was prepared for Siqin Mi, he suddenly didn't feel so terrible.

As the emperor, Zhuang Xun loved and trusted Si Qinmi so much, and Si Qinmi was a typical sage monarch. He was not the kind of sage touted, but a strong man who could coordinate the interests of all parties and share the cake well.

Mainly because she looked ugly, these ministers couldn't figure out why Zhuang Xun was not in line with a man's nature of pursuing better.

With the arrival of the luxurious phoenix decorated with gold and jade from the Kunlun Pearl of the Rising Sun, the swaying Requiem Bell calmed people's minds.

These treasures of the Immortal Family are not very useful, but they can enhance one's identity, and as soon as they are used, everyone will know that they are precious objects, just like jade that is still dazzling even if the sky is not clear.

The golden phoenix hovers on the jet-black silk, the phoenix crown is swaying with silver, the phoenix robe made of real gold threads flashes with gold threads, the phoenix dances for nine days, wanting to fly, and the matching lace is made of ruby, so luxurious The dress is naturally unique to a queen.

Stepping on the ground, looking at the people singing and dancing on the terrace, and the formal officials under the stairs, it feels like a warm spring day despite the cold winter.

It was the sense of body, the heat evaporating from the charcoal fire, filling the terrace. In order to allow her to dress without being cold, Zhuang Xun did not consider material resources.

In such a pomp, Si Qinmi kept smiling. She felt that Zhuang Xun was extravagant and wasteful, but she was extremely moved. She still could not compete with Zhuang Xun in this regard. After all, he was the monarch.

Zhuang Xun responded with a eloquent reply. It happened that he had not ascended the throne in Hengdu, and the officials did not see it. He used this to establish his authority so that people in the world could see that he was the monarch of Xia Kingdom.

She didn't know that this was Zhuang Xun's compensation for her, his recognition of her, she knew her own value, and Zhuang Xun also knew her value.

Si Qinmi thought about what he would do for Zhuang Xun, and Zhuang Xun also thought about what he would do for Siqin Mi.

Ruling the country for Zhuang Xun is her way of repaying Zhuang Xun. Zhuang Xun, who cannot only favor Si Qinmi, uses this ceremony to commend her. This is Zhuang Xun's way of repaying him.

Love is a two-way street. Although she knows that Zhuang Xun loves her, doing this kind of action can directly impact her soul, even though she knows it is not good.

This is the best he can give her. It's not that a man is unwilling to pay for a woman, but he hesitates just because he doesn't know whether the woman he loves in front of him can stay with him for the rest of his life.

Zhuang Xun didn't have such worries, so he wanted to favor and favor Si Qinmi, because there was no doubt that he and Si Qinmi were destined by God.

It was agreed that there would be no next time. I originally wanted to push the queen, but Zhuang Xun got angry and had to give in and let him arrange the arrangements.

As expected, the visual effect is indeed shocking, with auspicious light and mist, brilliant colors, winter brings spring prosperity, and I don’t know if Zhuang Xun shamelessly asked Bi Yuewu and Lan Qiu for help.

The face with scars was barely visible under the modification, which made many people who participated in the ceremony feel stunned. Only Si Qinmi could receive such an honor and be so favored by Zhuang Xun.

They had to admire Si Qin Mi's ability to govern the country. She was worthy of such a status. They had long heard about Si Qin Mi's appearance problem, but many people had never had the opportunity to see Si Qin Mi. Now that they saw it, they couldn't help but admire Zhuang Xun. long-lasting love.

As Si Qin Mi got out of the car and walked slowly towards the high platform with the support of the maid, she faced the envious and puzzled eyes of everyone with mixed emotions.

Will the reveal of his true appearance cause greater fluctuations? Can his true identity accept such an honor? Will there be no rumors?
The reason why she wanted to give up her position as queen was to preserve Zhuang Xun's reputation. Her previous status was too embarrassing, and she felt that she was not worthy of Zhuang Xun at this moment.

That's why I wanted to refuse again and again, just to give Zhuang Xun a better reputation. I didn't want to delay him and damage his reputation.

Compared with Si Qinmi herself, Li Rusi came from a well-known family and was getting married for the first time. Unlike her and Zhuang Xun, who would have been very controversial, she could avoid a lot of gossip, and as a queen, people would not worry about her loyalty. She only needs to accompany Zhuang Xun as a concubine.

When she came to the high platform, she raised her head slightly, and through the small steps, she saw Zhuang Xun on the high platform. He looked at her with satisfaction. Even though he had been taught thousands of times, Zhuang Xun should not express his emotions and anger in front of outsiders. He still instinctively showed joy for himself.

Si Qin Mi had no choice but to feel sweet and at ease. Women are always emotional. For such a husband who loves her, she can't even say words of blame in her heart, because even if he is wasting, he is doing it for herself.

Zhuang Xun usually couldn't bear to make a well-made bicycle frame. He was not used to having too many maids and felt it was a waste. The enthronement ceremony was always simple and simple, but now he created this kind of pomp for himself.

Si Qin Mi is not a woman who is ignorant and takes the other person's efforts as a matter of course. She can feel the emotions of these arranged efforts, like being illuminated by the warm sun.

You can't control other people's opinions. You have to show your perfect self to Zhuang Xun, make him feel happy, and let him kiss your cheek boldly and naturally. This is the most important thing. Other people's opinions are irrelevant. Let it drift away in the wind. This ruined face is also being talked about, so let them talk about it enough.

"Mr. Wei comes to see you and receive the order." the master of ceremonies called.

"I, my concubine, see your majesty, long live my emperor." Si Qinmi knelt forward and saluted.

"Mr. Wei, my wife in the field, is my old sword. She is virtuous and virtuous, elegant and dignified, and manages the country well. When she was poor, she was given etiquette... I was able to establish an ancestral temple and build it in all directions... I recall the achievements of the Wei family Gao, show your affection, and grant the queen the seal and ribbon..."

A clear voice echoed in the air. This was a strong praise for Si Qin Mi's contribution. It roughly listed the help Si Qin Mi had given him and listed the reasons why Si Qin Mi should be awarded the position of queen.

Her contribution was so great that it was because of her that Zhuang Xun was able to ascend the throne as emperor. People below could not help but feel a sense of admiration after hearing this kind of praising edict. Zhuang Xun could let people or himself write it like this, which shows that These are the recognitions in Zhuang Xun's heart.

"Receive the seal." The master of ceremonies sang, and Lan Qiu took the queen's seal and placed it in front of Zhuang Xun.

Zhuang Xun carried the box containing the seal and handed it to Siqin Mi, who was kneeling on the ground. Si Qinmi handed it to He Tan beside him to complete the delivery.

"Please Wei, please take the throne as queen." The ceremony continued. Si Qinmi followed the order of the master of ceremonies and sat on the side of Zhuang Xun. It was not particularly close, but Zhuang Xun had already reached out and grabbed her delicate white hand. In this situation, Si Qinmi let Zhuang Xun lead him.

"All officials congratulate the Queen." Si Qinmi sat firmly and the ceremony continued.

A row of officials came forward to pay respects according to their official positions. Zhuang Xun referred to the official system, which was the cabinet system of three provinces and six ministries. All the ministers came first to bow.

They were also the most shocked, because they saw a rather unfamiliar face, with a smile like a peach blossom, and eyes like the sun and moon shining brightly.A mature and beautiful woman, dignified and natural, worthy of the elegance and dignity described in the edict, but she was very unfamiliar to them.

Because these people often saw Si Qin Mi, they were all stunned. However, Zhuang Xun had no expression, so he could only bow his head and bow.

"Congratulations to the empress for ascending to the throne, the prime minister's harem, and coordinating yin and yang." They said in unison, they were trained. As soon as these ministers opened their mouths, a tsunami formed from behind.

"My lords, please rise." A familiar voice came. Si Qinmi hadn't realized that the jade pendant had failed, and her true face had been revealed.

Most of Zhuang Xun's team members are from You Kingdom, so they don't know Si Qin Mi. Even if there are people from Yu Kingdom, how many of them know Si Qin Mi?
So although he was curious but didn't dare to ask, the surprised expressions on these people's heads again made Si Qin Mi realize something.

She really didn't expect it so quickly, but she still showed her restored appearance generously. This was a facade for Zhuang Xun, and she would not show any timidity.

She behaved naturally, and so did the guests. Who dared to whisper in such a serious occasion.

Now that the empresses have been canonized, naturally they will continue to be canonized later. The establishment of Zhuang Xun's harem is in accordance with the Tang Dynasty harem system.

First level: Queen, head of the harem

The second level: the four concubines, namely the noble concubine, the virtuous concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the virtuous concubine.

The third pole: the nine concubines, namely Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong and Chongyuan.

Level [-]: Nine people from Jieyu.

Level [-]: Nine beauties.

Level [-]: Nine talented people.

The fourth to sixth levels are collectively called the 27th generation women.

Level 27: Paulin [-] people.

Level 27: [-] royal ladies.

Level 27: [-] women were recruited.

However, he didn't need so much. Later, Si Qinmi started to preside over and let He Tan be granted the title of a virtuous concubine, Yunyin Zhihua was granted the title of talented person, and the newly added Yu Guozong's daughter was granted the title of Xiurong, and that was it.

Li Rusi happened to leave the queue in the harem and wanted to appoint her as a general. Bi Yuewu arrogantly said that she did not want any palace concubine establishment. After this canonization, there were quite few people, but the harem can be considered completed.

Many people who knew about the rumor didn't take it seriously, while those who didn't know about the rumor were wondering whether Zhuang Xun wanted to go to war with Cheng Guo, so he hated Li Rusi and didn't even have a place as a concubine in the harem.

The guess was half right, Zhuang Xun was indeed going to use force against Cheng Guo, and the rumor was quickly refuted, because Zhuang Xun's next edict was to appoint Li Rusi as the general.

"Li Rusi accepts the order." The messenger shouted.

Li Rusi, who was dressed in golden armor and had a heroic appearance, walked out of the back hall and knelt down to receive the order in front of everyone.

Despite all the controversies, mainly about whether he should continue to trust Li Rusi, Zhuang Xun trusted Li Rusi and insisted on going his own way and forcibly carried out this wave of canonizations.

His order was finally implemented. It seemed that he was not involved in the political situation of the court, but he was the emperor and the king of Xia. There was no doubt.

Si Qinmi and Li Rusi are Zhuang Xun's military ministers. Zhuang Xun can always keep his word, because he controls the core of the country.

Zhuang Xun owed Li Rusi, his heart was attached to Si Qinmi, and he did not shy away from it, but he also cherished Li Rusi, a girl from a wealthy family who knew how to give in.

"I accept the order." Li Rusi knelt down and lowered her head.

"The Zi'erli family is a man of great strength, has good strategies, knows soldiers and generals... He was awarded the general's seal and ribbon, and the tiger talisman..."

Li Rusi took over the imperial edict and justifiably followed Li Rusi's leadership in the army. This was not a necessary bet, but Zhuang Xun had already placed a bet. He believed in Li Rusi. If the people he loved could not believe it, he felt Too sad.

Two people dancing on one stage, making the best use of everything. In a sense, it can be regarded as Zhuang Xun fulfilling his original promise, the promise of being an equal wife.

The queen was consecrated in one ceremony, and the general was conferred in another ceremony. The two were equally matched. If anyone wanted to say who was stronger, it was naturally the queen, but Zhuang Xun's attitude became more clear.

Zha clearly knows that he doesn't want to walk on a tightrope between women. If he can, he can, and if he can't, he can't. He refuses to be honest in front of his lover, because Si Qinmi and Li Rusi are both women worthy of his honesty.

As I said before, for women who can love each other for a lifetime, Zhuang Xun, stars and moons are willing to give it to them, because they are also willing to give it to themselves. This is mutual.

It was this kind of operation that fooled some ministers and guests who were late in the news. The concubines in the harem refused to do it and became generals. Zhuang Xun's move was so weird that many people didn't react.

Until Zhuang Xun gave Li Rusi a seat, there was a distinction between the monarch and his ministers, and everyone responded to congratulate Li Rusi.

But it makes sense when you think about it. It seems weird to keep concubines going to fight. It would be a waste of talents if Li Rusi is not used. I just didn't expect that Li Rusi would accept giving up Zhuang Xun's harem status so simply, and it would become controversial. General.

The purpose of establishing prestige was achieved as expected. Through personnel adjustments, Zhuang Xun's control over the Xia Kingdom was revealed, and it was made clear that the current ruler of the Xia Kingdom was still Zhuang Xun.

Let the officials understand that Zhuang Xun is still the king of the Xia Kingdom. No matter how long he leaves the center of power, he will be the king when he comes back, and break the rumor that he was ostracized by Siqin Mi.

This conferment ceremony also adjusted people's military positions, indicating that Zhuang Xun's control over the army always existed. After all, you can't confer a general as you want. What if you confer a conferral and the army doesn't recognize him?

In the end, unity was achieved, and Zhuang Xun used prestige to glue together the Xia Kingdom, which might have been divided because of Si Qinmi and Li Rusi.

It just dispelled the rumors, and old rumors started to spread anew.
