In the royal study of the Imperial Palace.
Shangguan Lin sat on the dragon throne.
Eunuch Wang Wen shouted,"Summon Left Prime Minister Tong Zhili, Right Prime Minister Wang Hongxuan, Chief Assistant Li Wenbo, and Minister of Rites Fang Yeming."”
As soon as he finished speaking, the four of them walked in from the door and knelt down at the same time.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live our Emperor!”
Although he had not officially ascended the throne, the four ministers had already addressed Shangguan Lin as His Majesty.
Their every word and action was a form of etiquette for the emperor.
"Rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Why are the four beloved ministers entering the palace today?”
Although Shangguan Lin had just ascended the throne, he already had the aura of an emperor.
The eyes of the four ministers flashed, and they were secretly surprised.
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Fang Yeming, stepped forward and bowed."Your Majesty, the late emperor has unfortunately passed away. We are all heartbroken, but the country cannot go a day without a ruler.”
"Fortunately, the late emperor left behind a posthumous edict. I request that Your Majesty ascend the throne as soon as possible and determine the throne. This is to announce it to the world to calm the hearts of the people.”
Shangguan Lin nodded to himself.
Just as he had expected, these four people had entered the palace today for the matter of ascending the throne.
Although the Ministry of Rites usually had nothing to do, it had little real power.
However, the new emperor's ascension should be handled by the Ministry of Rites.
If Fang Yeming, the Minister of Rites, were to slack off or delay at all, he would probably lose his position if he were to be investigated.
From this point of view, Fang Yeming could be considered loyal to his duty.
"Yes, I understand."
"Have you decided on the day of your ascension?"
For an emperor like Shangguan Lin, who had ascended to the throne by imperial edict, he would usually choose an auspicious day to ascend to the throne.
"I've already discussed this with the Director of Celestials, Lord Liu Lin," Fang Yeming said respectfully.”
"Alright, this matter will be handled by the four of you.”
"Your humble subject obeys."
......
Time passed quickly. Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Apocalypse Era, Year 226, Jingtai Year 8, March 15th.
Shangguan Lin led the civil and military officials to the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Temple and ascended the throne. He changed the country's name to Yuanwu, which was Emperor Wu of the Yuan Dynasty.
The enthronement was complicated, and the ceremony lasted from morning to evening.
The new emperor ascended the throne, granted amnesty to the world, re-opened the Enke, and won the hearts of the people.
At the end of Shenshi, at the beginning of Youshi. (17 PM)
Shangguan Lin entered the royal study and opened the system.
" System, receive the mission reward."
Ding!" Detected that the host has completed the ascension mission. The reward is being distributed.”
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the East Chamber Supervisor Cao Zhengchun, 1000 East Chamber natives, and Emperor Sword Tianwen.”
"Cao Zhengchun's identity has been implanted, and so has the East Military Chamber's background.”
"The East Chamber is an organization set up by the royal family to monitor the officials. However, because the East Chamber is powerful, the officials do not like it.”
"During the reign of the late Emperor Shangguan Hong, the power of the East Hall was reduced again and again. Now, the East Hall has become a peripheral organization.”
"Cao Zhengchun, the supervisor of the East Chamber, has great ambitions and is unwilling to let the East Chamber fall.”
"Host, please summon Cao Zhengchun for an audience. Cao Zhengchun will naturally be loyal to host.”
"Cao Zhengchun is a ruthless man.”
Shangguan Lin smiled coldly.
Cao Zhengchun was a knife that he could use to help him monitor the officials and speed up his control of the court.
As for the System saying that he was extremely ambitious, Shangguan Lin did not take it to heart.
He had the Six Sword Slaves to protect him, so killing Cao Zhengchun would be as easy as flipping his hand.
He had given him all his power. If he wanted to take it back, it would be easy.
Besides, the people given by the system were absolutely loyal to him. Shangguan Lin was not afraid of Cao Zhengchun's betrayal.
At the same time, Emperor Jian Tianwen appeared in Shangguan Lin's hand.
"Clang!"
Shangguan Lin pulled out his long sword abruptly. The sword light flashed and then disappeared, illuminating the entire royal study.
There were crisscrossing horizontal stripes on the blade of the Tianwen sword. The two blades were incomparably sharp and contained emperor qi.
In his previous life, in the world of Qin, Tianwen was the sword of the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, and was ranked first in the sword manual.
Just as Shangguan Lin was appraising the sword, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. The eunuch with the seal, Liu Xi, walked in.
"Your Majesty, since Your Majesty has ascended to the throne today, you must be tired. Royal Consort Li invites Your Majesty to have dinner with you and pay her respects.”
A cold glint flashed across Shangguan Lin's eyes. He sheathed his sword and looked at Liu Xi with killing intent.
Sensing Shangguan Lin's killing intent, the Six Sword Slaves hiding in the dark were ready to attack at any time.
During the reign of the late Emperor, Shangguan Lin's biological mother was the Empress, but she passed away when Shangguan Lin was 12 years old.
After that, the late emperor married Imperial Concubine Li. In just three years, she sat on the position of Imperial Concubine until now.
If the late emperor had lived a little longer, the position of empress would have been hers.
Although she was not the Empress, her status was still the highest in the harem.
In addition, she was the daughter of Li Wenbo, so she had great power.
During the reign of the late emperor, he only knew how to enjoy himself and had no interest in government affairs, resulting in the loss of power.
Li Wenbo, the chief assistant, formed a clique in the court, fighting against dissidents and forming cliques for personal gain.
In addition, with the help of Imperial Consort Li in the harem, the Li family had already formed the image of a consort monopolizing power under the collusion of the inside and outside.
This palm-print eunuch, Liu Xi, was also one of Imperial Consort Li's minions in the harem.
