My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 159: New Han and State Form

Two days later.

Several professors of historical research came from China, as well as a large number of professional architectural groups. Among them were some members of powerful interest groups with status and position. These people were unwilling to go along with the three major chaotic groups today, and they were also optimistic about Zhou Ping's future.

In this regard.

Zhou Ping led the special department captains, including Captain Wu, Captain Yuan, and Captain Han, to give a grand reception.

With the professors, led by Professor Chen, the matter of ascending the throne suddenly had clear rules. The first thing was to determine the time of enthronement. After intense discussions, they finally chose to ascend the throne on New Year's Day.

There was originally an auspicious date in November, and Zhou Ping's opinion was to ascend the throne as soon as possible, but it would take time to build buildings such as the Taimiao and the altar. Even if the professional team was faster and worked day and night, it would take more than half a month.

Later, Captain Wu and Captain Han suggested that instead of building a temporary one, it would be better to build a proper one.

My aunt, uncle, Chen Xue, Tian Xiaoqin and others also think that New Year's Day is better.

Of course, Zhou Ping was the one who made the final decision.

He decided on this discussion after careful consideration.

Secondly, someone had to be found to make the imperial seal, imperial robe, crown, and ceremonial objects.

But these are all minor matters. The most important thing is the direction after ascending the throne.

Although this ascension to the throne was to deal with the Guigu Sect, both Team Wu and Team Han, as well as my aunt, uncle and others, felt that future development could not copy the ancient dynasties, but must conform to modern conditions, or at least not be arbitrary.

to be frank.

Zhou Ping didn't care much about these things. He didn't want to be an ancient emperor with three palaces and six courtyards and the final say. The reason he ascended the throne was entirely to maximize the use of the national destiny virtual frame. But since Captain Wu and the experts who came from the country and those group members were discussing it so seriously, he began to take it seriously.

"Now is the era of great cultivation. Although the Han Kingdom inherits the bloodline culture of the Chinese nation, it must also keep pace with the times. Therefore, the future development direction of the country is to establish a cultivation empire. The emperor must have certain powers and responsibilities, and his main focus must be cultivation. As for the operation of domestic affairs, it can be left to the court ministers to handle..."

Many people felt that the direction was too vague, and there was also the issue of the emperor's authority and responsibilities, and wanted to discuss it, but Zhou Ping waved his hand and said, "You should all know Tai Yan Sect. Nowadays, the huge forces of the cultivation civilization outside the domain are basically operated by sects. Although there are cultivation empires among them, they generally follow the rules of the sect. This is a set of management and operation methods that conform to the cultivation era. I don't think we need to discuss it too much. Let's proceed according to Tai Yan Sect's system first. If we encounter any problems during the process, it will not be too late to discuss it later."

"I have good results in the actual combat test of space ships and have some authority. When the time comes, I will let Tai Yanzong's intelligence tell you how to handle matters."

If we really discuss the operation of the dynasty, it will take time and effort. He doesn't have so much time at this stage, so he keeps things simple.

Captain Wu was the first to agree, "I agree with what Zhou Ping said. We should first manage it according to the Taiyan Sect. After all, the Taiyan Sect is a huge force in the star field and is much more advanced than us, especially in terms of cultivation."

Captain Han nodded in agreement, "That's right. Everyone, don't forget, this is the age of cultivation. We must keep pace with the times and not use the old routines. Zhou Ping's ascension to the throne wasn't for his own selfish desires."

"Besides, our primary enemy right now is the Guigu Sect. Let's deal with this enemy first and then deal with other things."

Yuan Yi, Captain Lu, and my uncle also agreed.

Zhou Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that ascending the throne and becoming emperor was not a one-man job. No matter how powerful he was, managing a dynasty required people. He couldn't handle everything by himself, as that would definitely delay his cultivation.

This lasted for six or seven days.

Finally, all aspects required for ascending the throne have been dealt with.

late at night.

Inside the space ship.

Chen Xue and Tian Xiaoqin, who had just finished high-intensity exercise, still had a moving aftertaste on their charming and sweet cheeks. Both women seemed very excited these days.

"Hubby, I didn't expect you really wanted to be an ancient emperor. I guess you weren't kidding when you asked Xiaoqin and me to play the concubines!"

Chen Xue became excited when she talked about this. She leaned against Zhou Ping's chest, blinking and asking, "What do you plan to appoint Xiaoqin and me as consorts? Oh, and as for the position of empress, are you going to let Jiang Xia take it?"

Tian Xiaoqin hurriedly said, "And the Imperial Noble Consort."

Snapped.

Zhou Ping slapped a handprint on each of the two women's buttocks and said unhappily, "I haven't even ascended the throne yet, and you two are already thinking about your harem positions!"

Chen Xuejiao snorted, "What's the matter? It's not possible. After all, Xiaoqin and I are your wives through thick and thin. We have no chance of becoming the Empress, the mother of the country. But the Imperial Noble Consort has four concubines of higher status. Think about it."

It was rare for Tian Xiaoqin to agree with Chen Xue on the outside world.

Zhou Ping was speechless and could only promise repeatedly that he would seriously consider it. Only then did the two women let him go.

It was daytime.

He was still thinking about spending some more time with Chen Xue and Tian Xiaoqin, but his aunt came over and started scolding him, "Xiaoping, your status is different now. You can't be as carefree as before. There are still a lot of things outside that need you to deal with. Hurry and get up."

Zhou Ping's mouth twitched.

Chen Xue and Tian Xiaoqin covered their mouths and laughed secretly, but the aunt did not let them go. "And you two, you should pay more attention to your influence and stop relying on Xiaoping every day..."

The two women immediately looked miserable.

In this way, the days passed day by day.

In the blink of an eye it's December.

The first snow has arrived in the northern part of China, but the weather in South Africa is sunny and cloudless.

Zhou Ping took Team Wu and Team Han to visit the Taimiao, the altar and other buildings to see the construction progress. Overall, it was good and would be completed by mid-month. The altar and Taimiao were built according to the specifications of ancient dynasties.

“The three major groups have been in a lot of turmoil recently, and many people want to come to South Africa.”

Wu Tianming sighed as he spoke, "The Guigu Sect never really cared about the three major groups. It hasn't been long since they've revealed their true colors. Not only have they committed three consecutive tragedies, but they've also forced cultivators and a large number of ordinary people to attack the restrictions of the ancient ruins. They're completely treating people like slaves and ants. The entire order is about to collapse."

"People in the country are in a state of panic right now... Alas."

In fact, during this period, there has been constant news in the country. Although Jiang Ting, the current spokesperson of the three major groups, and the two major Taoist academies are trying their best to maintain superficial operations, they have no ability to restrain the powerful forces within the group, resulting in various vicious incidents. When the Special Department was still there, the domestic practitioners who were expanding and doing evil could still suppress themselves and dared not go too far, but now these practitioners are like kites with broken strings, wantonly magnifying their evil thoughts.

Coupled with the Guiguzi Sect, the entire country’s chaotic situation is becoming increasingly serious.

Many people are heartbroken.

But it's no use.

Many people even called out to Zhou Ping, wanting him to return to China to negotiate with the Guigu Sect to work out a win-win solution and allow the special department to return to work. Unfortunately, this was just a wishful and naive idea.

Therefore, people flee to South Africa every day, but it's still difficult for ordinary people to leave. Furthermore, South Africa is too small, and the environment isn't as good as back home. Seeing Team Han and Team Yuan's heavy hearts, Zhou Ping slowly said, "This is what we anticipated. The Guigu Sect's goal is the ancient ruins. They don't care about the domestic situation, nor do they care about the lives of ordinary people or cultivators."

"What we can do is to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible, work hard, and strive to drive out the Guigu Sect as soon as possible."

At this point, he said in a deep voice, "This is just the first step. I told you that in addition to the Guigu Sect, there are also Jing'an Si and Shennong Palace in the country. They are all infiltrated by extraterrestrial cultivation forces, so our enemy is an even more powerful extraterrestrial cultivation force."

Listen to this.

Captain Wu, Captain Han and the others couldn't help but clench their fists.

"Zhou Ping."

"The Guigu Sect alone is difficult to deal with. How can we possibly win against an immense extraterrestrial civilization?"

A special department captain asked worriedly.

Zhou Ping shook his head. "I don't know, but I do know that everything depends on human effort. If we don't do anything, the current dire situation in China will become the situation of the entire planet in the future, or even worse!"

Captain Han said, "That's right, everyone. We absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait for death."

Those who can become captains of the special department are basically practitioners with potential. They are all excellent in combat power and are outstanding students selected by Director Wang and Director Peng from the two major Taoist academies. However, cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires a lot of time to accumulate. The late stage of Qi training alone is a hurdle, and foundation building is an even bigger hurdle.

Ninety percent of them can’t get over it.

But none of these captains would back down.

Zhou Ping looked at them. Although everyone had worry and hesitation on their faces, he didn't see anyone showing fear and despair.

Leave the Taimiao and the altar.

On the way back to the villa.

Captain Wu asked, "Zhou Ping, someone from the two major Taoist academies has been in contact. They suggest that after you ascend the throne, you build a Taoist academy in South Africa to accommodate the students coming here."

Zhou Ping nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem. Tell those people that as long as they are willing to come and become citizens of the New Han Kingdom, they will all receive the same treatment and resources as before. In addition, I will set aside time every month to teach them the skills of talismans and formations."

"Captain Wu..."

Wu Tianming quickly interrupted, "Zhou Ping, you're about to ascend the throne, so please don't call me Captain Wu anymore."

"Brother Wu."

"No, I can't afford it."

Zhou Ping laughed, "Brother Wu, we don't follow the old imperial ways. Just call us whatever you want. Even if you ascend the throne in the future, you will still be called by your sect. I will just call myself the Lord."

Wu Tianming then said, "Okay."

Zhou Ping instructed, "Aside from the two major academies, all other practitioners who have nurtured spiritual roots will also be given corresponding treatment, but their character must be examined. As for spiritual root aptitude, this is not within the scope of the examination."

Wu Tianming frowned, "Zhou Ping, if this happens, Xinhan's resource burden will increase significantly. The resources obtained from the Nemo Point spacecraft have now been taken over by the three major groups. We don't have much left."

Zhou Ping waved his hand, "Don't worry about this. Don't forget that I am the seed of Taiyan Sect."

About that.

He had made it clear long ago and did not hide anything from Wu Tianming and the others.

It can be said.

Except for not being able to reveal the matter of the virtual frame of national destiny, he would not hide anything else. After all, after ascending the throne and becoming emperor, he still needed to develop the new Han. If a new country wants to grow, it must have a clean government and harmonious people.

Captain Wu, Captain Han, Captain Yuan, and Captain Lu, the backbones of the special department, will become the important core of Xinhan in the future, so I will tell them everything I can.

……

It will be the end of December soon.

There are still two days left before he ascends the throne.

Zhou Ping suddenly became busy. He had no time to accompany Chen Xue, Tian Xiaoqin and others in the evening, nor did he have time to chat with Jiang Xia. Now the Taimiao and the altar have been completed, and the palace city was chosen in a wider area near the mine. It was not built according to the ancient palace city, but the style adopted a certain palace layout, which was a bit simple.

Of course, the facilities in Gongcheng's room are all of modern technological style, and he even asked the formation spirit to put some high-tech into it.

It was the day before New Year’s Day.

Chen Xue and Tian Xiaoqin also became nervous. Because they had not yet held a formal wedding with Zhou Ping, they could not follow Zhou Ping to the altar as concubines when he ascended the throne. After he ascended the throne, they would look for an auspicious day to hold the ceremony of taking in the concubine.

On the contrary, Zhou Ping was very relaxed and didn't look nervous at all.

He looked at the display of "not ascending the throne" on the virtual frame of national destiny with strong expectations in his eyes. Big changes had appeared in the virtual frame of national destiny before he ascended the throne. He was still looking forward to what these changes would show up once he ascended the throne tomorrow.

"Array Spirit."

"Since you can control the Earth's formations, can you create some auspicious celestial phenomena when I ascend the throne?"

The formation spirit asked curiously, "Do you care about these forms?"

Zhou Ping said softly, "It's not that I care, but it's a ritual symbol. Maybe it will lead to my destiny."

He originally didn't believe in fate.

But after traveling to Mount Tai and obtaining the national destiny virtual frame, I gradually began to believe in it, but I believed in the destiny of the country.

The formation spirit replied, "Yes, I will show them one by one according to the ancient auspicious signs."

After saying this, it hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Zhou Ping, ascending the throne is a minor matter. What matters most is your strength. Although I have been suppressing the Guigu Sect member these days, he is very powerful and has not confronted me head-on. Instead, he has been very cunning. He was able to obtain a demon bone in Ancheng, so he is very likely to have obtained some information about the ancient ruins."

"Once their strength increases again, we will have to run away quickly."

Zhou Ping's mood inevitably grew heavy. "Array Spirit, if we leave Earth, when will we be able to return?"

"not sure."

"It depends on your own growth rate. The powerful force that destroyed the Taiyan Sect had five near-immortal-level masters..."

ps: Some things cannot be written, especially those related to the country, which are easy to review
