Northern Song Dynasty: Counterattack and became emperor after the Jingkang Revolution

Chapter 341: Conferring Zen to Worship the Ancestors

Hearing the support from the Supreme Emperor, Zhao Yingluo felt a warm current in her heart. She turned to look at the opposing royal brothers and said firmly: "Brothers, I understand your worries and concerns. But please believe me, I am not proclaiming emperor for personal desire for power, but for the better. I will use my actions to prove my ability and determination.”

However, the royal brothers were not convinced. They still insist that it is absurd for a woman to become emperor, and some have even begun to threaten to quit the royal family. Faced with this situation, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen stood up.

"Brothers," King Xin Zhao Zhen said in a calm but firm tone, "I think we should give Sister Huang a chance. Over the years, her achievements and abilities are obvious to all. Although her decision to become emperor surprised us, but I believe she has enough ability and wisdom to shoulder this important task.”

After hearing King Xin's words, some young royal members began to whisper among themselves. Although they were shocked by Zhao Yingluo's decision, they had to admit that she was indeed outstanding in governing the country.

"King Xin is right," a young prince stood up, "We should give Sister Huang a chance. If she can lead the Song Dynasty to a more glorious future, then why shouldn't she become emperor?"

Zhao Yingluo was prepared for the doubts and oppositions from her brothers. She took a deep breath and decided to play her trump card to dispel their concerns.

"Brothers and sisters," Zhao Yingluo's voice echoed in the hall, with firmness and sincerity, "I understand your concerns, but please believe me, I am not proclaiming emperor for selfish reasons. For the future of the Song Dynasty, for the sake of I must shoulder this important responsibility for our family. Moreover, I have decided that once I become emperor, I will make Zhao Min the crown prince."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall. Zhao Min is Zhao Yingluo's nephew and has always been loved and taught by her. He is young but smart and is favored by the royal family members.

Zhao Yingluo continued: "If I unfortunately pass away one day, Zhao Min will inherit the throne and ascend to the throne. In this way, the blood of our Zhao family will be passed down, and the power of the Song Dynasty will be more stable."

These words made the royal brothers fall into deep thought. Although they were dissatisfied with Zhao Yingluo proclaiming himself emperor, their worries were relieved when they heard that she would make Zhao Min the crown prince. After all, they also want to ensure that the Zhao family can be inherited steadily.

At this time, an imperial brother stood up and sighed: "Yingluo, since you have made such an arrangement, we will no longer object. However, after you become emperor, you must always keep in mind the mission and greatness of our Zhao family. The country of Song Dynasty.”

"Brother, don't worry," Zhao Yingluo solemnly promised, "I will do my best to protect the country of the Song Dynasty and our family."

Another imperial brother also expressed support: "Yingluo, your performance has always impressed us. Since you have decided to become emperor and made such an arrangement, we will fully support you."

Zhao Yingluo looked at them gratefully, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knows that this decision is not easy, but she also believes that as long as everyone unites as one, there will be no obstacle that cannot be overcome. However, she also knew that these royal brothers actually also had a desire for power in their hearts. They may have dreamed of sitting on that supreme position, but the cruel reality made them understand that without great achievements and sufficient talents, not everyone can sit in that position.

Zhao Yingluo looked at them and knew their inner struggles and unwillingness. But she also firmly believes that only she has enough ability and prestige to lead the Song Dynasty to a more glorious future.

"Thank you for your support." Zhao Yingluo said with a smile, "I will keep in mind my mission and responsibility and work hard for the prosperity of the Song Dynasty and the glory of the family."

As time went by, although Zhao Yingluo's journey to becoming emperor was full of challenges and controversies, her determination and talent eventually won the recognition of the royal family and the people. Under her leadership, the Song Dynasty ushered in a new era of prosperity. And those royal brothers who once opposed her gradually understood the truth: a true leader is not defined by blood and status but by talent and responsibility to win respect and support.

With the confirmation of Zhao Yingluo's proclaimed emperor, the Shangyi Bureau was extremely busy. For Zhao Yingluo's coronation ceremony, they had to rush to make a set of exquisite uniforms that fit the status of the queen.

Gongfu, as the ceremonial dress of ancient emperors, is extraordinary in its exquisite production and profound meaning. The craftsmen of the Shangyi Bureau selected the finest silk, with a deep and luxurious color that seemed to absorb the moonlight, highlighting the nobility and mystery of imperial power. This kind of silk has been treated with a special process and feels smooth and silky, while also having a certain stiffness, making it very suitable as a fabric for dresses.

The design of Gunfu follows the traditional style, but innovates in details. The entire uniform is dominated by bright yellow, symbolizing the supremacy of imperial power. The placket, cuffs and hem are all embroidered with exquisite dragon patterns. These dragon patterns are intertwined with gold and silver threads. Every stitch and thread looks so delicate and elegant. The dragon's scales are sparkling and its eyes are bright, as if it can rise into the sky at any time and fly across the sky.

In addition, the collar and cuffs of the Gong suit are inlaid with precious gems. These gems are colorful and shining, which contrast sharply with the yellow silk, making the whole Gong suit even more gorgeous and dazzling. The jade belt around her waist is engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns, which means that the queen will lead the Song Dynasty to a more glorious future.

The most special thing is that there is a huge phoenix pattern embroidered on the back of the uniform. This phoenix spreads its wings and flies high with plump and gorgeous feathers. It represents Zhao Yingluo's majesty and dignity as the queen. At the same time, it also means that she will be reborn like a phoenix and lead the Song Dynasty to create a new era.

When Zhao Yingluo put on this elaborate dress, her temperament was instantly improved. The whole person seemed to be enveloped in a layer of golden light, looking so majestic and sacred. She stood in front of the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. This dress not only shows her noble status, but also reflects her majesty and momentum as a queen. She believed that in the days to come, she would wear this robe and lead the Song Dynasty to a more glorious future.

In a spacious and bright bedroom deep in the palace, Zhao Yingluo was standing in front of a huge bronze mirror, her eyes flashing with anticipation and excitement. The maids carefully held the newly made uniforms and slowly walked towards the queen. This dress is the brainchild of the craftsmen of the Shangyi Bureau, and every detail of it reveals the nobility and majesty of the imperial power.

When the palace ladies gently unfolded their uniforms, Zhao Yingluo's eyes suddenly lit up. The bright yellow silk shines under the light, and the exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns seem to jump out. The inlaid gems shine with charming light, like stars dotting the night sky.
