Chapter 17 Ascension to the Throne
july seventeen
On a day of good harvest, when the people obeyed and all the officials worshiped, Wang Ge started the succession ceremony, and wanted to become the king of Yue!
The process of succession is rather complicated.
Wang Ge needs to follow the rules and etiquette to complete the sacrifice to heaven and earth and the clan.

It is worth mentioning here that when setting the date, Tai Changqing, who was in charge of etiquette, repeatedly asked Wang Ge for advice.

What was the weather like on the day of the succession?Won't there be an "auspicious" situation where all the civil and military officials are drenched in the rain?

It was Wang Ge's repeated assurance that the weather would be normal on the day of his succession and that you would not be joking, so Taichang Qing could relax and make preparations for relevant matters.

It can be seen that all the officials in the court believed Wang Ge's "theory of ghosts and gods" to predict the celestial phenomena. After all, the facts were before their eyes.

Even if Wang Ge said "it snows in July", they all have to seriously think about whether it will really snow on a hot day.

The prestige that Wang Ge established in front of all the officials was evident. All the civil and military officials privately believed that the King of Xinyue did possess unpredictable means.

When he moved into the palace and took the throne, Wang Ge declared solemnly and calmly:
"The previous king suddenly died and returned to the Five Elements. He carried out the legacy of the previous king alone, followed the order of ethics, and entered the ancestral hall."

As soon as these words came out, all the court officials respectfully bowed their heads to congratulate King Xinyue.

Sitting on the throne, wearing a graceful and luxurious Wang Ge, one can feel that from the common people to the officials, their confidence in the King of Xinyue has gathered more luck.

The eyes of Mingling opened, and Wang Ge saw the luck around him, from [-]% red to [-]% purple, and began to upgrade.

The proportion of vermilion is increasing, until the succession ceremony is completed, his luck is like a bright red sun surrounded by lavender aura!
"[-]% red, [-]% purple, my luck has greatly improved!"

His expression didn't change, but under the robe, he clenched his fists excitedly.

This is a significant improvement.

As for the last Cheng Zi, Wang Ge speculated that it was probably because the prime minister was not in his hands and his influence on the people of Yue country still needed to be improved.

"The prime minister's power cannot be recovered within a few years, but there is still a lot of room for improvement in people's livelihood and people's hearts. After all, I only predicted a rainstorm disaster, and the people in the fields have to grow food every year.

It is conceivable that as long as in the next few years, I guide agricultural production by observing the celestial phenomena in time, and ensure the harvest every year, my prestige among the people will be deeply rooted, and my luck will continue to grow. "

Under the production conditions where farming depends on God's face, Wang Ge can master the ability to know the weather with one hand.

This is no longer a prophet, but a saint, a god, who will be worshiped by the people sooner or later!

Therefore, Wang Ge is very sure that he can establish an indestructible prestige in the hearts of the people of Yue State, and there is no need to worry about luck at all.

With the support of the people and the prestige established in front of all officials, Wang Ge still has to follow the plan to win the old Taiwei's Sikong to his side.

Looking down, you can see that in the court hall, Lieutenant Zhao Rui and Sikong Handen both bowed their heads and sent congratulations with smiles on their faces.

"I, my ministers, would like to congratulate my king on his accession to the throne."

King Xinyue really surprised the two of them, such a monarch deserves their support.

The ministers and officials can be considered to understand the current situation of the court of the Yue Kingdom.

It is impossible for the prime minister, Zhang Yan, to dominate the family and monopolize the court.

Wang Ge has gained a firm foothold in the Yue Kingdom. He raised his hand and said:

"All the ministers, without courtesy, inherited the throne alone. They thought deeply about the entrustment and were sincere and conscientious. They believed in their virtues and relied on relatives and virtuous people. They paid their respects and punished each other, worked hard for the people, and jointly worked for a new governance."

"My king is very kind." Prime Minister Zhang Yan said.

Even if he was the one in the worst mood among all the people present, he still had to talk about the scene.

However, Zhang Yan was mentally prepared. Just through a flood-fighting and disaster relief operation, Zhang Yan had already seen that the Xinyue King's methods were unusual.

But as Emperor Xuan's nail in the Yue Kingdom, his position is destined to attack the prestige of the Xinyue King, and then control the Yue Kingdom's government, let the Daxuan Empire control the Yue Kingdom, and realize the reduction of the vassal.

"It's just a small failure, and the days when the monarch and ministers work together will be long." Zhang Yan cursed.

The strength of the Great Xuan Empire and the support of Emperor Xuan are Zhang Yan's confidence, he knows that the Yue Kingdom will not act rashly against him.

On the throne, Wang Ge could probably guess Zhang Yan's thoughts and thought to himself:
"This prime minister is Emperor Xuan's nail inserted into the Yue Kingdom. He can't move it, and he can't ignore it. Fortunately, my cheap father left me a means of restraint."

With this in mind, Wang Ge proposed to the court after he ascended the throne that he would do five things:

One, self-cultivation, light corvée and light Fu, do not disturb the common people

[-]. Taiwei, who paid homage to the Zhu Kingdom, added two thousand households to the city, led troops to garrison in Miao County, guarded the border, and protected the country's tranquility.
Third, the responsibilities of officials are heavy, and all officials should be supervised. If anyone harms the public for personal gain, he will be severely punished.
Fourth, change the system of discussion, the king does not come to the court meeting, and all matters in the court are paid to the prime minister and Sikong.After retiring from the court, the two chose a memorial to submit, which was reviewed by the king.

Fifth, invite the god stone to enter the palace to worship, and thank the gods for their grace in disaster prevention and rescue.

The first three points were understood clearly by the court officials, including Zhang Yan.

Even the third article, emphasizing Sikong's power, is secretly warning Zhang Yan not to play tricks, and everything must be done according to the rules.

Zhang Yan was mentally prepared for this and had nothing to say.

But four or five, Zhang Yan can't understand.

"I don't know, why did His Highness change the parliamentary system?" Zhang Yan asked.

He also murmured in his heart, not knowing what kind of card Yue Wang was playing.

However, Wang Ge was very indifferent. He had already had a plan for this, and pretended to be self-deprecating:

"Lonely and young, and once greedy for the prosperity of Kyoto, greedy for pleasure, neglecting literature and martial arts, now the ruler of the country, fearful and fearful, conscious of shallow knowledge and poor talent, how to govern the country?

You should study hard and study hard, and you should not be arrogant and meddle in government affairs. It is appropriate to pay talents and govern the country.
The Prime Minister and Sikong are both the pillars of the country, full of knowledge, high moral prestige, and favored by the late king. I can't be more at ease with you two in charge of the affairs of the court. "

To put it simply, Wang Ge excused his lack of ability and wanted to leave most of the work to the prime minister and Sikong.

"This..." Zhang Yan frowned, and couldn't tell if there was any trap in it for a while.

How can there be a wise monarch who does not rule in court?
I'm afraid it's not a faint king!

Especially the fifth article, please enter the palace with the god stone.

Inviting stones into the palace to worship?
Zhang Yan thought Wang Ge's previous "immortal dream" was just an excuse, but he didn't expect him to come to the truth!
Who was the last monarch who was superstitious about ghosts and gods and asked about immortality?It was Emperor Qian who was both the founder and the founder of the country!

Cultivating immortals has been regarded by scholars all over the world as a disaster for the country!

Zhang Yan felt quite confused, and so did all the civil and military officials.

Judging from the methods used by King Xinyue to win over the people before he succeeded to the throne, shouldn't he be a foolish king?

Just when the court ministers didn't know why, Sikong Han Deng, who was named, immediately stood up and replied:
"The minister is very loving, shoulders heavy burdens, lives up to His Highness's entrustment, and should devote himself to everything."

Han Deng expressed his opinion and glanced at Zhang Yan.

Everyone present knew that Sikong and King Yue wore the same pair of pants.

Prime Minister Zhang Yan's eyes flickered. Logically speaking, the King of Yue's absence from government affairs would be a good thing for him to expand his power, but Zhang Yan did not dare to underestimate the new King of Yue because of his previous lessons.

"Could it be possible that he was frightened by Emperor Xuan's majesty and did not dare to show off? He desecrated himself and delegated power to show his loyalty to Emperor Xuan?"

Zhang Yan suddenly remembered that the King of Yue had once said in front of Emperor Xuan that "if you are happy, you don't want to think about Yue".

The king of Xinyue did not dare to offend Daxuan. Only after he succeeded to the throne did he make concessions such as "reforming the political system".

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan suddenly felt confident and replied:
"I am a minister who has a great responsibility, and I am not afraid. I will be rewarded with merit and will not betray my trust."

When Wang Ge heard this, he smiled with satisfaction.

Now his "monarch offline system" can be counted!
In such a huge country of Yue, if he is the king of Yue, if he does everything himself, and also has to fight for power with Zhang Yan, how can he have time to practice martial arts and detachment, Xunxian asked?
"I still have to find some wage earners to help me manage things."

Wang Ge's eyes narrowed, looking at the court officials.

While he is in power, he must also have enough time to use the resources of the Yue Kingdom to help himself grow and become stronger!
