Special War God

Chapter 265 Coronation and Battle Report

...

In the mysterious continent of Aishran, Xu Dejing, Xu Shouting and Xu Qian were unaware that Xu Qin, who had been standing silently by the side, was staring at Xu Qiao with a look that seemed to reveal a fantastic secret.

Looking at Xu Qian's subtle changes, Xu Qin finally smiled.

Xu Dejing asked: "Qin'er, what makes you so happy?"

He was filled with confusion, wondering why his eldest daughter laughed out loud at this moment.

Xu Qin replied: "Father, Second Uncle, have you noticed the difference in Qian'er?"

Xu Dejing was puzzled: "What's the difference?"

Xu Qin responded: "Qian'er has always been defending Xia Zhongnan. When did she learn to care about others so much? Is she still the straightforward girl I know?"

Hearing Xu Qin's words, Xu Dejing smiled helplessly, shook his head and sighed: "When a girl grows up, it is hard to keep her!"

Finally, the sacred moment of Xia Zhongnan's coronation as king arrived. The ceremony was simple but solemn. Court officials and lords from all over the country gathered inside and outside the golden Jade King's Palace. Xia Zhongnan entered the palace, put on the star crown that symbolized power, announced the establishment of the Xia Kingdom, and rewarded ministers and lords. Finally, accompanied by several chief ministers, he climbed the palace wall to accept the congratulations of the people, and the ceremony ended successfully.

Under the escort of several guards, Xia Zhongnan walked from the secret realm of the harem to the Jade King Palace.

In the square outside the palace, there is a circle of sect leaders attached to the new kingdom. Their cultivation levels vary. Some are strong men in the Void Realm, while there are also many great men in the Spirit Transformation Stage. Their clothes are complicated and varied.

They stood on both sides, leaving the central passage for Xia Zhongnan to pass through. Seeing Xia Zhongnan, everyone knelt on one knee to show their loyalty.

In front of these sect leaders were the civil and military officials of the new country, from low-ranking officials to princes and important officials of the court.

Xia Zhongnan walked with firm steps, ignoring the officials kneeling on both sides. He walked through the ranks of the princes, where his confidants and important officials were kneeling.

Suddenly, Xia Zhongnan stopped and turned to the depths of the crowd.

Qu Tongtian, Tang Huaigang, Liu Dabazi and others were shocked. They didn't understand why he didn't go directly to the throne but walked into the crowd, but they didn't dare to ask.

Xia Zhongnan came to a woman, stretched out his hand and said, "Qian'er, sit on the throne with me!"

The woman was Xu Qian. Her heart was beating like a drum. She looked up at Xia Zhongnan, tears sparkling in her eyes, and she was stunned for a moment.

Xu Dejing, Xu Shouting and Xu Qin in the distance were all extremely anxious and wanted to go up and give her a push immediately.

Fortunately, after a while, Xu Qiao came to her senses and placed her little hand in Xia Zhongnan's palm.

Xia Zhongnan held her hand tightly, and walked slowly to the throne under the gaze of everyone. He turned around, picked up the crown on the imperial table, put it on his head, and then looked at the whole audience proudly and announced: "Today, the Xia Kingdom is born, and I, Xia Zhongnan, become the ruler of the Xia Kingdom!"

The ministers bowed and shouted, "Greetings to the Lord!"

After the ceremony, Xia Zhongnan then announced: "Consecrate Xu Qian as the Queen of Xia Kingdom!"

He opened his arms, and a gorgeous phoenix crown appeared in his hands, which he put on Xu Qian himself. Xu Qian stared at the man in front of her, her eyes full of happiness and affection... ...

She had never expected that Xia Zhongnan, who was as straightforward as the summer stars, would reveal such a shocking surprise to her at this moment, without any sign of it beforehand.

What he held in his hand was a crown inlaid with a magical phoenix, indicating that all this was already in the magical prophecy he had woven.

Looking back on the two people's journey, perhaps when Xia Zhongnan whispered "Life is like a blank magic scroll, it is up to us to paint the colors", she already had only this brave man in her heart, which made her, a noble girl, disregard the danger and throw herself into the Thirteenth Legion that was about to set off, thus making their later magnificent and fantastic adventure come true.

At this moment, their relationship finally has a magical contract, and a new chapter begins.

Xia Zhongnan looked around at the ministers and announced: "Appoint Qu Tongtian as the Prime Minister of Magic of Xia, Tang Huaigang as the Great Magician, and Tu Shiyun as the Chief War Mage..."

These old ministers from the Wu State had made great contributions in assisting the emperor, so Xia Zhongnan generally retained their original positions.

He continued to confer titles: "...Liu Dabazi was made the Lord of Xiuzhou, Lang Zhengfeng was made the Lord of Yuzhou, and Xu Shouting was made the Lord of Kunzhou..."

The ownership of these territories remains the same, Xia Zhongnan is just following tradition.

However, Xia Zhongnan changed the documents submitted by Qu Tongtian and others and announced: "Appoint Zhao Delin as the Lord of Qizhou, Zuoqiu Juemin as the Lord of Yanzhou, Duan Ganbao as the Lord of Xuanzhou, Qiu Butong as the Lord of Xianzhou, Mao Zizhuang as the Lord of Yinzhou, Yuan Qingchao as the Lord of Jiangzhou, and Sheng Guanchao as the Lord of Xiangzhou..."

Qu Tongtian, Tang Huaigang, Tu Shiyun and others looked at Xia Zhongnan anxiously and confusedly, thinking to themselves: "My Lord, you shouldn't joke like this. Although these people failed to arrive at your coronation ceremony, you can't just deprive them of their territory! They once said that they stayed in the state capital to defend because of the abnormal movements of the neighboring country. If you change the lord like this, won't you force them to rebel? Moreover, if you change eight states at once, won't the newly established Xia Kingdom immediately fall into war, and the beautiful peace we have worked hard to build will be destroyed!"

However, they did not dare to voice any dissent at this moment.

It was not until Xia Zhongnan's enfeoffment was completed that Qu Tongtian and Tang Huai stood up hesitantly.

You have already divided it up, what else can you say?

Xia Zhongnan smiled and asked, "Mr. Qu, Mr. Tang, do you have any questions?"

Qu Tongtian couldn't help but speak up: "Lord, conferring titles on the princes is a matter of state, you...are doing this...how can this be a joke?"

For a moment, he didn't know how to put it.

At this time, a knight came running and reported loudly: "The army of Feng State has invaded Qizhou, the army of Ji State has raided Xianzhou, and the army of Bi State is approaching Xiangzhou!"

Xia Zhongnan sneered. He had already anticipated that the three countries would launch an attack on the day of the coronation. They had calculated the magic of time accurately and wanted to send a battle report at the moment of the coronation.

Although the battle report came a little late, it was already an extremely difficult thing.

The ministers looked at Xia Zhongnan with complicated eyes.

You just revoked the lords of these states. Now these states will face the flames of war. Who will fight for you? Once they know the situation here, I am afraid they will immediately surrender!

Xia Zhongnan ignored the battle report and responded calmly: "We can't disrupt the sanctity of the celebration because of such a trivial matter!"

He held Xu Qian's hand tightly, walked to the top of the castle, ready to accept the worship of all spirits.

The ministers had no choice but to follow the new rulers to the top of the majestic city.

Perhaps, even court officials like Qu Tongtian and Tang Huaigang were questioning in their hearts whether it was a wise move to recruit Xia Zhongnan as king?
