Chapter 356: Slap in the face (2)

Seeing the prince walk away with a flick of his sleeves, Shi stood there in a daze. Is the prince already so dissatisfied with her?

"Princess, are you okay..."

"Slap!" Shi Shi slapped the maid on the face with her backhand, "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you hear what the crown prince said? I'm no longer the crown princess."

The maid who was beaten knelt on the ground to plead guilty with tears in her eyes, not daring to complain.

This East Palace is like a tomb at this moment, those who stay inside are lifeless, and those who stay outside don't want to come in.

The day Rong Xia ascended the throne was sunny and sunny, and the blue sky was dotted with a few white clouds, which made people feel joyful for no reason.

The rules of the enthronement ceremony are very complicated. Not only the ministers are tossed, but even the emperor himself is not easy.

"Chuan Yuxi."

As soon as the official of the Ministry of Rites announced the report, a woman in a red dress with a palace dress embroidered with gold peonies walked into the hall, holding a gold silk nanmu box and walking towards the hall step by step.

Woman, the one holding the Jade Seal of the Kingdom is actually a woman?

Some courtiers were horrified, and some were calm and unresponsive, but no matter what these courtiers thought in their hearts, this woman in palace attire and a golden crown led thirty-two strong guards and knelt down in the center of the hall.

Ban Hua held up the golden silk nanmu box and said loudly: "I wish my emperor forever, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the world sings and dances in peace."

She stood up, and the thirty-two guards were still kneeling on the ground, motionless.

The steps on the hall were made of pure gold, Ban Hua stepped up the steps with his right foot, and walked towards Rong Xia step by step.

The steps are divided into five sections, and each section has nine steps. Holding the wooden box high, she walked very steadily with each step until she stepped on the last step.

"Your Majesty." She wanted to kneel down and present the jade seal to Rong Xia, but Rong Xia grabbed her arms and took the jade seal from her hand.

Rong Xia held Yuxi in her left hand and Ban Hua in her right hand, and turned her head to smile at Ban Hua.

The courtiers knelt down in unison and shouted long live three times.

In the first year of the Ying Dynasty, the founding emperor Rong Xia, who was only 26 years old, ascended the throne, and his year name was Cheng'an, so this year is also called the first year of Cheng'an.

After Rong Xia officially ascended the throne, the first imperial decree was to make the crown prince the Prince of Peace and give the prince a mansion.

When the world heard about it, they all praised Rong Xia for being kind and generous, for treating the former crown prince with such courtesy.

Some officials also stood up and said that the new emperor's accession to the throne should be amnesty to the world, and all people congratulate, but Rong Xia refused.

"Prisoners imprisoned in the labor center have their own faults. The pardon of their crimes is not congratulated by all people, but unfair to ordinary people," Rong Xia said calmly while sitting on the dragon chair, " If you want to enjoy the joy of all people, it is better to waive taxes for a year in several hard-hit areas, this is the real joy of all people.”

"Your Majesty's honorable name." Zhou Bingan got up and said, "This is a very good move."

"His Majesty's name."

Later, Rong Xia rewarded some meritorious soldiers, and the civil officials who were originally despised by Jiang Luo were also recalled by him. The entire imperial court was in a state of waste, but there was no chaos at all.

Especially when Rong Xia was unwilling to amnesty the world, but was willing to exempt the hardest-hit areas from taxation, the people all applauded, and by the way, scolded the previous emperor for his stupidity and absurdity.

Many civil servants returned to their posts, and Pei Dongsheng, who hadn't gone through the door, was one of them. After receiving the decree issued by the palace, he burst into tears of joy, and within two days his illness was half healed.

Miss Pei suddenly remembered the nobleman she met ten days ago. She said that her father was the most suitable for offering sacrifices to the Imperial College, but not long after that, her father was reinstated. Who is that nobleman?

Who can call King Changqing his cousin?

Some were willing to serve Rong Xia, and some sat at home, pretending to be high-profile, and put on a posture of loyalty to the previous dynasty to show their integrity. Some people even wrote poems specifically for this, to express their noble spirit of disdain to be with everyone in Vanity Fair.

But their high profile didn't last long before they were "unintentionally" slapped in the face by the Ban family.
