Chapter 367 Ascension to the Throne (2) (Crown Prince Qin Chen)
"bye."
After the offerings were placed, the Director of the Imperial Observatory spoke again.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately knelt down in worship.
"rise."
"Second bow."
"rise."
"Three bows."
"rise."
He bowed three times in succession.
"May Heaven and Earth bear witness that today, Qin Wu, a member of the royal family of Eastern Qin, ascends the throne as Emperor."
The Director of the Imperial Observatory began the final step.
"I, Qin Wu, a member of the royal family of Eastern Qin, ascend the throne today, taking the title of Shenwu, and changing the name of the country to Qin."
"From this day forward, it shall be the first year of the Divine Martial Era."
Qin Wu spoke up, establishing the imperial title and changing the name of the state.
This was also agreed upon in advance.
"May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings."
The Director of the Imperial Observatory immediately kowtowed.
"May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings."
"May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings."
"May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings."
Everyone immediately knelt down in worship.
From this day forward, Qin Wu will be their emperor.
From this day forward, the Qin generals will be under the rule of Emperor Shenwu.
Next came the bestowal of rewards.
"Jade Book".
Qin Wu looked at Yu Shu.
Yu Shu immediately took out the imperial edict and went to the high platform.
"Jiang Pingle stepped forward to receive the title."
The jade book opened the imperial edict.
"Jiang Pingle accepts the imperial decree."
Jiang Pingyue stepped forward a few paces.
"Jiang Ping Le, my wife since childhood, has been devoted to me through thick and thin... I hereby bestow upon her the title of Empress, to rule the harem and be the mother of the nation. This is my decree."
"Jiang Pingle accepts the decree and thanks Your Majesty."
Jiang Pingyue bowed, walked up the high platform step by step, received the imperial edict, and stood beside Qin Wu.
"Greetings to Your Majesty the Empress. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace. May Your Majesty and Your Majesty's love last forever."
"Greetings to Your Majesty the Empress. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace. May Your Majesty and Your Majesty's love last forever."
"Greetings to Your Majesty the Empress. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace. May Your Majesty and Your Majesty's love last forever."
"..."
Everyone below bowed again.
"He bestowed upon Qiao Danxue the title of Imperial Concubine and the name Xue."
"Feng, Qin Mei is appointed as the Virtuous Consort, the head of the four consorts."
"..."
One after another, bestowed titles and rewards.
The ranks of Qin Wu's harem members were all determined.
The four daughters from the four royal families are: Qin Mei, who is named Xianfei; Wu Ziyue, who is named Liangfei; Zhou Muyu, who is named Shufei; and Man Mengxuan, who is named Defei.
The four consorts were chosen.
Next are the concubines below the four imperial concubines.
Consort Yan - Yan Wushuang, Consort Zhong - Zhong Qianning, Consort Gu - Gu Qingyue, Consort Jiang - Jiang Pingxin.
As for anything else, that was it; Qin Wu's harem consisted only of these women.
Next came the bestowal of titles and honors by the four royal families.
The Qin clan was designated as the Qin royal clan, with the clan leader being the King of Qin, a hereditary title.
The barbarian tribe was named the Barbarian King Clan, the Zhou tribe the Zhou King Clan, and the Gu tribe the Gu King Clan. Their clan leaders were the Barbarian King, the Zhou King, and the Gu King, respectively, and were all first-rank princes.
Next are the four Princes of Zhennan, who were granted the title of Second-Rank Princes and were members of the royal family. Their descendants were dukes. Below the four royal families, there were also Qi Ye and others who were members of the royal family, making a total of twelve royal families.
They all grew up following Qin Wu in his campaigns.
It can be said that he made great contributions to the Qin state.
As the titles and honors were bestowed, many families received them, while many others had their titles demoted.
All the former dukes and marquises were demoted to marquises and were no longer hereditary.
If no talented individuals emerge from the younger generation, the title will continue to decline until it is revoked and the person is expelled from the aristocratic class.
These people disagreed with the policy, but they were helpless to change it.
They could not possibly resist Qin Wu.
Otherwise, this person wouldn't just be giving them their titles, they would be taking their lives.
When it came time to bestow rewards, Qin Wu led Jiang Pingle and the others back to the palace first.
This time, a large number of people were rewarded, meaning that all the meritorious officials were honored.
It took three whole days.
Those who received the reward went to the palace to express their gratitude.
Once everything was over, Qin Wu began to reorganize the court.
Based on everyone's abilities, official positions were reassigned, and Qin Wu even established a cabinet to assist him in handling government affairs.
He didn't want to spend all his time dealing with government affairs.
Cultivation is his most important thing; only when his cultivation level is high enough can he suppress everything.
As time went by, Qin Wu discovered a problem.
The domain's suppression had actually loosened a bit.
Qin Wu was worried that his intuition might be wrong, so he summoned Qin Lang and the others and asked them about their situation.
They sensed it too, but the change was very slow; they wouldn't have noticed it if they hadn't already reached their limits.
They were certain that the domain was growing, which was good news for them.
Especially with the continuous reforms of various policies in the Qin state, the Qin state's national strength also grew rapidly.
The domain's growth was also accelerating, which surprised them again.
They eagerly awaited the day when the dynasty would be promoted.
If they successfully give back to the domain during their promotion, they can be said to have accomplished an unprecedented feat.
After discovering the problem, the four royal families began to fully cooperate with Qin Wu to eliminate the unstable factors in Qin, striving to ensure that Qin was united and that no dissidents would emerge before his promotion.
This is the only way to ensure they get the greatest benefit.
They knew perfectly well that the stronger the Qin state's fortune, the greater the benefits for them.
Although they didn't know what luck was, they had read about it in ancient books, and that the stronger one's luck, the more beneficial it was to their cultivation.
If the Qin state had sufficient fortune, it would have produced even more geniuses.
This is the power of the elusive and intangible fortune.
Their people possess their own destiny, which is the reason they have been able to prosper for so long.
With the royal family, the royal family, and the ducal family all taking action, other forces guessed that something big was about to happen in Qin again soon.
They all began to restrain their family members to prevent them from doing anything during this period.
Being targeted by these powerful forces led to the extermination of their clan.
Time passed little by little.
The Qin state was back on track, and almost nothing major happened.
The main clan contacted Qin Wu again and told him something, advising him to be prepared and not to rush into promotion.
That is the issue of offspring. A powerful dynasty is not only judged by the strength of its emperor and the country.
It also depends on whether there are successors; without successors, the promotion process will not be as smooth.
Therefore, Qin Wu stayed in Empress Jiang Ping Le's palace and began to have children.
As for the other concubines, it all depends on luck. However, the eldest son of the legitimate wife must be born to the empress to avoid leaving any unnecessary hidden dangers for the future.
He knew all too well the consequences of the eldest son being born before the legitimate son.
Therefore, he told the other concubines directly and clearly that they should not have any illusions before the birth of the eldest son.
The women understood Qin Wu's meaning and wouldn't rush to their deaths.
Especially the first few girls, they were already on the same side, so they wouldn't compete with Jiang Pingle for anything.
As for the four concubines, Qin Mei belongs to Jiang Ping Le's faction and will not compete for them.
As for the other three women, they would have to be able to compete with them if they wanted to.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Pingle finally gave birth to her eldest son. Qin Wu named him Chen and directly appointed him as the crown prince on the day of his birth.
From then on, the Qin state had a crown prince and an heir.
Qin Wu then began to arrange the next promotion.
The Imperial Astronomical Bureau has also been calculating the most suitable date.
The large-scale formations in various locations were subsequently completed one after another.
All that's left is to set a date for the Qin state to be promoted to the Qin Dynasty.
