The first step in the national ceremony is the morning banquet.
Simply put, it's about having breakfast together...
Only officials of the fifth rank or above were qualified to dine there.
Of course, as an envoy of the Qianling Holy Land and the national teacher of the Cangqiong Kingdom, Su Li was naturally qualified to attend the morning banquet.
Even Su Li's special status allows him to bring family members; Qian Yun and Yin Ling can both go.
Other officials can only be themselves.
At the banquet, Su Li sat at the table with the young officials.
At this table of young officials were mostly ministers of a fallen nation.
Su Li had also heard that these officials initially threatened suicide, but in the end they all served Xia Liuliu.
I opened their script and took a look.
Their script is actually the same as that of ordinary officials: promotion and the backstabbing and infighting in the officialdom.
Some died peacefully, while others were unjustly imprisoned.
They're all pretty ordinary; you can't really tell anything special about them.
However, after Su Li got to know them better, she gained a general understanding of how Xia Liuliu was perceived by them.
Dignity, reason, and a wise ruler.
When they talked about Xia Liuliu, their tone was filled with admiration and respect.
There is a sense of gratitude, like a thoroughbred horse finding its discerning owner.
She also possessed the ambition to dedicate her life to the Empress of Qi and to leave a lasting legacy!
It can be said that the officials of Qi Kingdom have been almost completely united by Xia Liuliu!
After the morning banquet, the civil and military officials went to the ancestral mountain to worship heaven and earth.
Everyone stood in line at Zushan beforehand, waiting for the arrival of the Empress of Qi.
Two incense sticks later, at noon, a bell rang out, its sound echoing throughout the empty space.
As if awakened, the mountain's fortune transformed into a golden dragon that soared into the sky and then rushed towards the foot of the mountain!
At the foot of Zushan Mountain, Empress Xia Liuliu of Qi Kingdom had already begun climbing the mountain.
Golden dragon energy protected Xia Liuliu's entire body.
With each step Xia Liuliu took, it seemed as if the ancestral mountain would sink a little more!
After climbing to the ancestral mountain altar, Xia Liuliu lit long incense sticks and bowed to heaven and earth three times!
High above the girl's head, Su Li sensed a Daoist aura quietly flowing within him!
It is not uncommon for imperial sacrifices to cause unusual phenomena in the landscape and its fortune.
But there was still a Daoist aura present!
This is absolutely outrageous...
There's a problem, there really is a problem...
After offering sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, the actual ascension to the throne takes place.
Back in the plaza in front of Meiji Hall, everyone was dressed neatly and standing straight!
They have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
After today, the four kingdoms of Cangqiong, He, Qi, and Luo will cease to exist.
Yes, it exists, but it is now the Qi Kingdom, located in the north of Qianlingzhou!
The officials who attended the evening court session last time knew even better what today meant.
Even just thinking about it fills them with a strange excitement.
"His Majesty has arrived!!!"
With the resounding voices of the four generals representing the north, south, west, and east of the town.
A woman dressed in imperial robes walked in, escorted by four generals.
The dragon crown on her head was adorned with golden tassels, and the girl's gentle eyebrows exuded boundless majesty.
A pair of crimson lips lightly touched her lips, the pale red of the flowers contrasting against the gold of the imperial robe.
The female emperor's long hair was tied up and secured with a golden dragon hairpin.
Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, just reaching the girl's hips.
The long, trailing robe behind him was pulled up by a total of nine palace maids!
"Roar!"
The moment the female emperor stepped into the palace, the sound of dragon roars echoed across the square.
At the same time, the dragon's fortune converged continuously in all directions of Qi Kingdom.
Above the demon capital, the dragon's fortune is swirling and has already taken shape!
The female emperor took another step, and the mountains and rivers trembled, but no one fell. In fact, the people of Qi felt that they were standing even more steadily.
The female emperor took another step, and above the sky, everything was resplendent in gold and jade! Flowing with dazzling golden rays of light!
"Incredible, truly incredible..."
In the sacred land of Qianling, Zhou Wuqing, with his hands behind his back, stroked his stubble and sighed with emotion.
In addition, all the sects and elders around Qi Kingdom, regardless of size, raised their heads.
Seeing such a rich dragon aura emanating from the mountains and rivers, every elder was tempted.
Such a powerful dynasty can definitely provide countless promising cultivators in the future! It can also provide sects with a lot of resources.
After all, even cultivators on the mountain are not completely without the resources provided by the mortal world.
Unfortunately.
This Qi Kingdom is already an affiliated sect of the Qianling Holy Land, so it's impossible for me to attack it again.
The female emperor ascended to a higher position.
In an instant, the dragon roared to the heavens.
Countless streams of mountain and river energy swooped down, transforming into gentle breezes that fluttered the hems of everyone's clothes.
First-order, second-order, third-order...
When this female emperor fully ascended to the highest level, when the female emperor turned around!
Golden dragons swept across the capital.
A magnificent landscape, leaping across the heavens and earth!
The female emperor stood ramrod straight, her hands clasped in front of her, her majestic eyes sweeping across the entire audience:
"From this day forward! The Kingdom of Qi is established! Its name is Liu! Its capital is Yan!"
My lands will endure for eternity!
Through the power of the mountains and rivers, the voice of the female emperor spread throughout the palace, the capital, and the entire Qi Kingdom!
This is a manifestation of the natural order and fortune of the land being fully accepted by this new emperor.
From this moment on, within the territory of Qi Kingdom, she is the true and rightful queen!
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
On the square, civil and military officials gathered.
In the capital, men, women, young and old.
Within the territory of Qi, all things and spirits bow their heads.
"And from this day forward!"
The Kingdom of Qi has broken away from the Holy Land of Qianling!
No longer will it be an appendage of any cultivation sect!
The people of Qi Kingdom have no need to revere cultivators!
All cultivators of all sects and factions who violate the laws of my Qi Kingdom will be punished, no matter how far away they are!
The people of Qi all raised their heads high!
Chapter 307 She actually came directly to find me?
With the words of the female emperor now in effect, let's not even talk about the people of Qi.
All the civil and military officials standing before the Meiji Hall were momentarily stunned...
just……
What did His Majesty say?
Is the State of Qi going to break away from the Holy Land of Qianling?
No longer be an appendage of any sect?
Wait, did I hear that right?
For a moment, everyone felt like they were dreaming...
Nowadays, most dynasties in the mortal world have cultivators and sects as their backers.
The dynasty primarily provides sects with promising candidates for cultivation and resources.
Although the resources that the mortal dynasty can provide to the sects are extremely limited.
After all, many things are not available to ordinary people.
However, the basic needs of some lower-ranking disciples still need to be met.
These sects don't really care about these things.
Then, the Mortal Dynasty is also a great tool for running errands.
Moreover, if a cultivator is looking for something, the mortal dynasty might not be able to obtain it.
However, the mortal dynasty has a large population.
At least they can find some clues.
Besides these, the mortal dynasty had many other uses.
In short, if the Qi Kingdom no longer has the Qianling Holy Land as its backing, then the Qi Kingdom will be a piece of fat meat that everyone would want to take a bite out of.
Although cultivation sects dare not do anything to mortal emperors, excessive interference by cultivation sects in mortal dynasties will indeed have many consequences.
However, if sects intervene indirectly, they can escape a lot of cause and effect.
For example, sects can support powerful forces and disrupt the imperial court.
Sects can also have their former allied dynasties wage war, causing the fates of the two nations to cancel each other out.
Then, through his own actions, he caused the military strength of both countries to tilt to one side.
Moreover, the karma of the mortal dynasty was not fatal.
There are gains and losses.
Some sects are a bit reckless and might as well just storm in.
Even if the sect suffers the backlash from the karmic consequences of the mountains and rivers' fortune in the future, overall, in the long run, it will still be a win.
It's just that many sects want to make more money and don't want to pay too high a price.
However, the Qi Kingdom is already a large dynasty.
If a sect were to directly conquer the Qi Kingdom, that sect would need to be very powerful.
