Chapter 1229 Enthroned as Emperor

Ouyang Shuo only made five major adjustments to the layout of Shanhai City. As for the more detailed fine-tuning, Ouyang Shuo doesn't need to worry about it himself, as the city develops, it will naturally be adjusted in place.

"System prompt: Adjustment request confirmation, adjustment..."

In the same blink of an eye, things have changed in the city. After this expansion and adjustment, Shanhai City has laid the foundation for another take-off, headed forward to a super giant city.

…………

Ouyang Shuo was accepting the award and adjusting the city. It seemed he had been busy for a long time, but in fact, it was less than half an hour before and after, and everything was finished.

"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come!"

A female official shouted loudly, and the sound of silk and bamboo rang out as soon as the words fell.

From today onwards, Ouyang Shuo is the head of the dynasty and has officially entered the rank of emperor. He can be called "Your Majesty" or "Emperor".

Ouyang Shuo was wearing a crown suit, boarded the Yuyu, and left the palace gate.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Surrounded by ceremonial guards, they came out from the royal city, and all the people on the street saw Yu Jia coming from afar, and they all shouted and danced, and knelt down to pray for long live.

Just like the previous enthronement ceremony, it was very lively.

After sacrificing the ancestral temple, Ouyang Shuo took the imperial car again and entered the main hall. The cabinet led all the ministers and officials to kneel and play: "All the rituals are completed, please take the throne!"

Ouyang Shuo walked up slowly and sat on the dragon chair, the hall fell silent.

As soon as the sound of the music changed, the court officials yelled: "All officials salute!"

"Long live, long live, long live!" Hundred officials kowtowed and bowed nine times.

?Ouyang Shuo sat on the dragon chair, and because he had a similar experience, he calmly said, "Everyone loves you!"

? "I am waiting to thank you!"

Ouyang Shuo said: "This time the imperial court was able to be promoted to the imperial dynasty, and it has flourished to this day. It has increased the power of the country, all thanks to the meritorious civil servants and generals. I will not begrudge the gift of rank and salary!"

The cabinet led all the officials, bowed their heads and shouted three times again.

"When I ascend the throne, I would like to follow the example of the ancestors, set up a mountain and river hall, and list twenty-four meritorious officials."

As soon as the words were finished, the eyes of the military officials below the hall immediately lit up, full of anticipation. About Shanhe Palace, Ouyang Shuo didn't even know about the cabinet, only Ouyang Shuo knew about it.

Now thrown out suddenly, it naturally caused a sensation.

This time the promotion ceremony, Ouyang Shuo did not invite outsiders to watch the ceremony, but the two governors of Southern Xinjiang and Northern Xinjiang, the envoy of North Africa, and all the governors of the provinces were all invited to the capital to watch the ceremony.

As he said that, Ouyang Shuo gave Bai Nanpu, the procurator who was standing by the side, a look.

Bai Nanpu understood and unfolded the imperial decree, "The Emperor's Majesty issued an edict to set up the Shanhe Palace to praise the twenty-four heroes who have made contributions to the country and the country, and to be regarded as a model for all officials to glorify future generations."

"Bai Qi, Jiang Shang, Xiao He, Huo Qubing, Han Xin, Wei Yang, Zhang Liang, Du Ruhui, Jia Xu, Shi Wansui, Fan Li, Zheng He, Shen Buhai, Sun Bin, Elai, Zhang Yi, Cui Yingyou, Zhang Han, Di Qing, Yu Dayou, Xu Chu, Tian Wenjing, Fan Zhongyan, Liu Mo."

Every time Bai Nanpu read a name, one of them came out, and he couldn't hide his joy.

For civil and military officials, in addition to paying attention to their current power status, they also pay more attention to their status in history. They hope that they can last forever and be included in the Palace of Mountains and Rivers, which is the best way to leave a name in history.

Therefore, even cold-faced people like Bai Qi, Du Ruhui, and Tian Wenjing couldn't hide their joy.

"This!"

After reading the long list, some people are happy, but others are naturally disappointed, especially those civil and military officials like Kou Zhun and Li Jing, who just missed out on such a grand occasion just because they joined the dynasty a little late.

It's impossible not to be jealous.

Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo said, "These twenty-four heroes have made great contributions in the establishment of the dynasty. I hope that on the day when the dynasty is promoted to emperor, there will be more ministers in the Palace of Mountains and Rivers."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

All civil and military officials were immediately refreshed.

In addition to conferring twenty-four meritorious officials, Ouyang Shuo also conferred a number of titles.

Bai Qi and Jiang Shang were conferred the title of duke, alongside Bai Hua, Mu Lanyue and Feng Prison Huang. Xiao He, Huo Qubing and Han Xin were conferred the title of first-class Marquis.

Wei Yang, Zhang Liang, Du Ruhui, Jia Xu and Shi Wansui were granted the title of second-class Marquis. Fan Li, Zheng He, Shen Buhai, Sun Bin, Elai, Zhang Yi, and Cui Yingyou were granted the title of third-class Marquis.

The remaining seven of the twenty-four heroes were all canonized as first-class earls.

In addition, Kou Zhun, Li Jing, Wei Zheng, Zhang Tingyu, Di Renjie and a large number of civil servants and military generals were all made earls.

It's not hard to see that Ouyang Shuo is very cautious about conferring titles, especially titles above Marquis. To put it bluntly, he is stingy.

This is done precisely to reflect the value of the title.

Ouyang Shuo also had a hard time trying to elevate the value and significance of the title.

With the gradual finalization of the size of the army, in the army, the position of regimental commander is basically fixed, and it is difficult to have vacancies. This also means that the promotion channels for senior generals are basically blocked.

In the court, the central positions are basically fixed, and it is difficult to make major adjustments. The only thing that is better than the army is the vacancy at the provincial governor level, because the dynasty is still expanding and there are still opportunities.

Unsmooth ascending channels are undoubtedly fatal to a dynasty.

The root cause of this embarrassment is that the game world is different from the reality. Civil servants and military generals are, to a certain extent, half immortals.

Even if it is embodied into reality, it is the same.

Take Jiang Shang as an example. After becoming Homo sapiens, Jiang Shang chose to look like an old man, but the cell activity in his body is no different from that of a young man. It is very easy to live another hundred or eighty years.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

Because of their existence, they blocked the rising channel of the dynasty.

Ouyang Shuo is already thinking about whether to formulate a retirement system in Planet Hope in the future, so as to promote the replacement of old and new blood, and not only make the dynasty stagnate.

Of course, this is all for later.

Specific to the game world, if you want to establish a new value system outside of the job system, there is nothing more suitable than the title.

Because of this, Ouyang Shuo had to be cautious about conferring titles, so as not to turn the title into Chinese cabbage.

So far, the appointment of officials and nobles has officially come to an end.

"The dynasty is newly established, and I hope all the ministers will work hard." Ouyang Shuo said, and then said to the ceremonial officer: "Canonize the queen as the empress, the eldest son Ouyang Yu as the eldest son of the emperor, and the princess Ouyang Luo as the princess."

At this time, the emperor's enthronement ceremony was considered complete, followed by a routine military parade.

After the military parade, it was already noon.

In the evening, there are grand palace banquets and fireworks nights, which are unprecedentedly lively.

By the time the hustle and bustle subsided, it was already late at night.

…………

Starting from January 2nd, for five days in a row, a guardian envoy, two guards and twenty-four provincial governors took the opportunity to go to Beijing and began to line up to report to Ouyang Shuo.

On average, more than five people report their duties every day.

These were the five busiest days for Ouyang Shuo, and also the five days when his mind was spinning the most.

It is absolutely impossible to suppress these big officials in Xinjiang, review their work reports, not find some faults in them, and at the same time give some constructive opinions.

This required Ouyang Shuo to have a deep understanding and planning of the provinces.

A month ago, apart from preparing for the promotion ceremony, more than half of Ouyang Shuo's energy was spent on this. Of course, Ouyang Shuo couldn't handle this kind of extremely difficult task by himself.

Behind each of Ouyang Shuo's suggestions, there is the painstaking efforts of the cabinet and the senior minister's cabinet.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to report on his work, Ouyang Shuo took advantage of the opportunity to review the seven-year plans of the provinces of Gaia, so as not to deviate from the course planned for them by the imperial court.

Of course, if the territory is large, there will naturally be a difference between superior and inferior.

Among the twenty-four provinces, some provinces were well managed, and some even had surprises. For example, Hu Zongxian's purge and planning of Heluo Province caught the attention of the cabinet.

Some of them were unsatisfactory. When reporting on their duties, Ouyang Shuo was merciless and directly reprimanded the governor, "If you don't continue to be vigilant and guard against arrogance and impetuosity, I will remove you from your post."

Ouyang Shuo did what he said.

The dynasty has developed to this point, and one or two governors will be abolished, and there will be no turmoil.
