Government Hall.

The ministers were divided into two groups, civil and military, standing solemnly in the north and south.

When Liang Cheng stepped forward and unfolded the imperial edict, everyone bowed slightly and lowered their heads.

At this time, Liang Cheng thought: "The vitality is established, and the tree is established by the king. The destiny is not permanent, and the only support is virtue. Heaven's heart selects talents and talents from all over the world, and is not unique to one person."

"I have been on the throne for thirty-six years. There has been great chaos and confusion. The evil people have rebelled and the whole world has been overthrown. Thanks to the power of King Yan, he has rescued me from all directions and protected our ancestral temple."

"Today, the King of Yan has inherited the foregoing, brought light to Naide, and established an unparalleled great cause. It is the emperor's spirit that has sent down the auspicious sign, and the gods and men have warned me of the battle. The birth is brilliant. God has given me my destiny. I am respectfully located in the King of Yan, and I agree to hold it. To serve all nations and inherit the great unification, I admire this!”

Liang Cheng's old voice echoed in the hall.

After reading the imperial edict, all the ministers said in unison, "Long live my emperor!"

At this time, Zhao Heng stood up and came to Zhao Xu personally holding the jade seal and the national seal.

Zhao Xu made a gesture of rejection, and then Zhao Heng handed the jade seal to Zhao Xu again.

After repeating this three times, Zhao Xu received the jade seal of the country.

This is the three-step and three-step ceremony when taking the Zen position, and it was arranged by the Rites Department.

Although Zhao Xu found it troublesome, after all, his ascension to the throne was something that the entire Da Song and his enemies were paying attention to, so it didn't matter if it was more solemn and cumbersome.

After Zhao Xu officially received the imperial seal, Zhao Heng, supported by Liang Cheng, slowly walked down the steps and walked out of the palace.

"Farewell to the Supreme Emperor!" At this time, the ministers shouted again, which was regarded as the final farewell to the former emperor.

After Zhao Heng's figure disappeared, Zhao Xu came to the dragon chair and sat down slowly.

In an instant, the civil and military ministers shouted at the same time, "Long live my emperor! Long live, long live!"

The voices of the ministers were heard, and the three thousand Forbidden Soldiers outside the hall also shouted in unison, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live my emperor."

The voices of the Imperial Guards soldiers were extremely loud, reaching from the palace to the streets outside.

The people knew that this was King Yan officially sitting on the dragon throne and becoming the emperor they praised.

As a result, they either danced or hugged each other and cried with joy, and the sound of "Long live" shook the sky.

As for the government affairs hall of Wuji Palace, after the ministers shouted long live, they could no longer maintain the serious expressions on their faces, and they all smiled happily.

Zhao Xu looked at the ministers with a faint smile on his face.

It's not that he doesn't want to be emperor, this is naturally impossible.

He acted inappropriately in the past because it was not yet time.

Now that Dasong is prosperous, and his foreign wars are no longer passive but proactive, he should also sit on the throne of emperor.

From then on, as Emperor Dasong, he competed with monarchs from all over the world for world hegemony.

However, although Zhao Heng's Zen enthronement process has passed, when the new emperor ascends the throne, the new emperor's own ritual procedures still have to go through.

So, he gave Xiao Guizi a look.

This boy has replaced Liang Cheng and is the chief eunuch of the palace.

Xiao Guizi nodded, unable to hide the joy in her eyes.

Holding the imperial edict written by Zhao Xu himself, he read to the court, "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven. The edict says, I only want to dedicate Huang Shang and Wang Hua to the palace. Fang Liu Tong's history and mother's rituals are used in the family. Bing Bing. The imperial concubine Yang is the daughter of Yang Zhen, the general of the Xuanwu Army. She is Xiangzhong Qili, diligent and thrifty in Lanye, and honest and filial in Jiaowei."

"I hereby obey the instructions of the merciful emperor, and ordered me to book the treasures and establish her as the queen. I am so grateful!"

After reading the edict to confer Yang Susu, Xiao Guizi read the edicts to confer Luan'er and Feng'er one by one.

Next, under the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Xu went to the Ancestral Temple to worship his ancestors. He was busy until noon before the entire ritual process was completed.

On the way back to the palace from the Imperial Ancestral Temple, Chen Shou and Wang Chong suddenly came out and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Your Majesty on your enthronement. We thought His Highness had prepared a great gift to show our gratitude to our ministers."

The two of them did not take credit. Whether it was an airship or an armored ship, they were the product of everyone's efforts, not just one of them.

"Then I'll wait and see." Zhao Xu laughed.

He knew very well that the two of them had spent a lot of time preparing for this matter.

Wang Chong and Chen Shou looked at each other and led Zhao Xu to the canal port outside the south gate of Yancheng.

The kings of the vassal states also went with them.

When they arrived at the place, the imperial guards separated Zhao Xu and his party from the people. In the inner circle were Zhao Xu, the ministers and the king of the vassal state, and outside were the people who were packed to the rafters.

Wang Chong and Chen Shou accompanied Zhao Xu and waited at the port, with mysterious smiles on their faces.

Not long after, suddenly there were shouts of surprise from the crowd, and everyone looked up and pointed to the sky.

It turns out that a huge airship is coming from west to east, slowly moving towards the port.

The airship is very long, fifty meters long, with a rectangular closed pod hanging underneath.

The pod has windows, and figures can be vaguely seen moving inside.

There are two propellers on both sides of the pod, which are constantly rotating.

"Your Majesty, this is your gift, the airship." Wang Chong said.

Zhao Xu nodded with a smile on his face, "Yes, I am very satisfied. This thing came at the right time. If you ask people to make more, they will be put to use soon."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chong said happily.

At this time, unlike Zhao Xu's calmness, many ministers and people who had never seen an airship were dumbfounded.

As the airship got closer and flew above them, they became more and more shocked.

The kings of the vassal states also opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them for a long time.

If they hadn't known in advance that this was something made by Dasong.

They would have thought it was a huge bird of prey.

"What is that!" Just when the ministers and the people had not recovered from the impact of the airship, another sharp-eyed citizen shouted.

It turned out that when everyone's eyes were attracted by the airship, a silver-gray warship was sailing from the east to the west of the canal.

In addition to the traditional mast of a sailing warship, this warship also has four smoking exhaust columns.

The biggest difference is naturally the heavy iron armor covering the outer shell of the warship.

This is the first ironclad warship of Dasong.

"Your Majesty, please cover your ears." Chen Shou reminded him.

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I can bear it."

"Then let's start." Chen Shou chuckled and ordered the flag signalman to give orders to the warship.

"Boom boom boom..." Then, the turret on the ironclad ship rotated, making a huge roar, and huge flames and thick smoke came out of the muzzle.

This sudden bombardment scared the people, and many people's legs went weak.

However, they were relieved when they saw that there was no explosion after the cannon.

"Your Majesty, this is my gift, an ironclad ship." Chen Shou said solemnly.

Zhao Xu nodded slowly, and the smile on his face became stronger. "Like Wang Chong's gift, I also like it very much, and I am looking forward to the launch of other ironclad ships in the future."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, they will deliver it to the navy as scheduled." Chen Shou bowed his head.
