Chapter 955 Leng Tongyou ascends the throne

"What? You want me to succeed? Mother Emperor, you want to abdicate the throne!!! Mother Emperor, the empire cannot survive without you, I simply..." Leng Tongyou looked at her mother in surprise.

"Okay, do you think I want to give up the throne to you now? I haven't done any preparations, and there aren't many of your people in the court. With such a rush to the throne, you won't be able to take a break for several years to come. !" Leng Bingyan sighed and said, "It's just that I am already a prince. According to the patriarchal law, the prince cannot continue to sit on the throne. After all, no empire can accept an immortal emperor. This is not good for the empire. "

"So I have to give you the Zen position. The time will be set in about three months. I will try my best to help you straighten out the government affairs. At the same time, I will prepare the etiquette for the Zen position. After that, the entire empire will be handed over to you. It’s coming!”

"It's...Mother Queen!" Leng Tongyou didn't say anything more. The patriarchal stipulations were very clear. When his mother became a prince, she could not sit on the throne. The throne must be passed on to her daughter. As a Princess Huang, who would give me the throne instead of me?
So a few days later, the entire Jiutian Empire announced a shocking news to the entire world.

This news was naturally about the abdication of the throne. Queen Bingjue abdicated the throne to her eldest princess, Leng Tongyou.

Although this news is surprising, it is not unexpected. After all, Queen Bing Jue has been on the throne for nearly 200 years, and is the longest reigning emperor among all the emperors in the Nine Heavens Empire.

The most important reason is that the entire Jiutian Empire is undergoing a violent industrial revolution, and the entire society is changing three times a day. Changing the emperor during this period will obviously have an unknown impact on the stable development of society, and this unknown impact will be huge. The probability is negative.

In addition, Queen Bing Jue did not bother to have a child because she was busy at war in the early stage, but later she was unable to conceive. She had her first child only when she was over 100 years old, and she never had a suitable heir.

To sum up, Queen Bing Jue has only worked for 200 years, but the time is indeed too long, and she is also very old. It can even be said that her life span is not long. Although there is no news about the Zen position before, it is still A matter of course.

As for the news that Queen Bing Jue has become a prince, it is completely a secret. After all, this is a trump card at critical moments. It can give the enemy a fatal blow at critical moments. It is impossible to announce it now.

I won’t go into too much detail about the process of ascending the throne. Anyway, it is extremely complicated. The relevant etiquette started three months ago. For example, Leng Tongyou must be a vegetarian during these three months, and at the same time, he must not sow seeds, etc., and then there will be more There are various etiquettes for the clan, officials, worshiping heaven, etc. At the same time, Leng Tongyou must also start scheming in the court, grabbing his mother's power into his own hands, completely controlling the entire court situation, etc.

Leng Bingyan is not easy either. As a person in the Zen position, she has to prepare a lot of etiquette, but what is more painful is actually the civil and military officials of the entire court. If Leng Tongyou and Leng Bingyan each have 20 If etiquette must be followed, then there are 40 different etiquettes that civil and military officials need to abide by.

Moreover, different officials have different special tasks to do. For example, the Minister of Rites must go to the top of Tianshan Mountain to collect sky fire. Not only does it take two months to go back and forth, but the entire mountain climbing process must also be done by the Minister of Rites himself. , others can't even help, because only in this way can the piety of those who collect heavenly fire be reflected.

It is said that the Minister of Rites could no longer walk on his legs after climbing down the mountain.But it is much better than in ancient times. It is said that in order to show sincerity to the sky more sincerely, the mountaineering minister was not allowed to sit down and rest during the mountaineering process. He had to climb the mountain every minute and every second, and for mountain climbing There are also time requirements and so on.

Moreover, there were no man-made safe passages in the Tianshan Mountains at that time. Many times, the Minister of Rites had to use his hands and feet to climb up the cliff. It is said that one out of every two Ministers of Rites actually died in the process of climbing up the mountain. The one who is there is even more unlucky, because people in the world will think that he was not pious enough to God during the mountain climbing process, and he was kicked down by God. It is simply terrible.

Other officials are not much better. Officials from the Ministry of Revenue must re-calculate the world's money and food and hand over the most complete and latest data to the new emperor.Officials of the Ministry of Works had to create huge spectacles in a short time as a gift to heaven when they ascended the throne and so on.

During this process, if anyone makes any mistakes, they will be sacrificed directly to God.

Anyway, with the Zen position of Queen Bingjue, there is no one in the entire capital who can sleep for 4 hours a day, except our Liu Xu children's shoes, he is a complete idler.

Because before Liu Xu, the concept of husband did not exist in the world, so naturally there was no queen or royal husband, and there would be no various etiquette for the royal husband, and these etiquettes cannot be designed hastily. , so in the end Liu Xu didn't have to do anything, just lie in bed and wait for this day to come. He was really happy.

However, before the enthronement ceremony was about to begin, there was finally an etiquette controversy related to Liu Xu.

For example, the civil and military officials insisted that the previous enthronement ceremony should be held according to the rules. If this was the case, the entire enthronement ceremony had nothing to do with Liu Xu.

But Leng Tongyou disagreed. It wasn't that she cared about Liu Xu's thoughts, but she believed that since the relationship between husband and wife is an extremely important relationship recognized by the will of heaven and earth, and it is also a relationship that must be promoted to the whole country with all its efforts, then the entire empire must It attaches great importance to every aspect, and the imperial family must lead by example and reflect the importance of the relationship between husband and wife.

If Liu Xu, the husband, does not appear at the enthronement ceremony, wouldn't it mean that the royal family itself does not pay attention to the relationship between husband and wife, and how can it take the lead?

Leng Tongyou originally thought that at his request, the officials would not insist on objecting, but in fact, the officials from top to bottom of the court had been fighting with him for nearly a week, insisting on not allowing Liu Xu to appear at the enthronement ceremony. The reasons are all ancestral.

However, their private thoughts are very obvious. First of all, these court officials do not like husbands or even husband-wife relationships, and they even do not accept them deep down, because for these women with power and wealth, husbands are a burden. .

Secondly, they are worried that once a man appears at the enthronement ceremony, it will lead to more men coveting rights. After all, with the promotion of industrialization, men have proven their ability in business, and now 60% of the country's private business economy Everything is in the hands of emerging men. If they are given another chance to intervene in power, wouldn't it be another revolution?

In the end, Leng Tongyou didn't suppress these officials. Queen Bingjue came forward directly and used her 200 years of prestige and some political tricks to finally get the officials to agree to Liu Xu's appearance at the enthronement ceremony. superior.

However, they asked Liu Xu not to say a word or make any unnecessary movements during the whole process. He could only follow the queen and act as a standard backdrop.
