But the difference was.
In other people's hearts, they all held 120% respect for the statue of the late emperor.
Because without the late emperor, there would be no current Great Qin Empire.
Without the Great Qin Empire, there would be no them.
So.
People were not only grateful to the late emperor, but also grateful.
But the Imperial Preceptor and the people of the Zhuge family were full of ridicule.
So what if the late emperor was strong?
Wasn't the Great Qin Empire now in the hands of their Zhuge family?
Even in the near future, the Great Qin would change its surname to Zhuge!
In fact, they were also very grateful to the late emperor.
Because.
If the late emperor hadn't overthrown the Tianyang Empire and established the Great Qin Empire, their Zhuge family wouldn't be where they were today.
Of course.
Their gratitude was tinged with sarcasm.
A moment later.
The ceremony of burning incense and worshipping the ancestors was finally completed.
The Empress pulled the little prince and walked to the side of the Imperial Preceptor.
The officials and the people also got up one after another.
The Imperial Preceptor looked at the head eunuch and said, "Read the imperial edict!"
The head eunuch nodded and took out the imperial edict from his Qiankun bag.
This imperial edict was naturally prepared by the Imperial Preceptor and Emperor Hong in advance, and it was even stamped with the imperial jade seal.
Seeing the head eunuch take out the imperial edict, the people present knelt on the ground again.
This time.
The Empress and the little prince also knelt down.
"His Majesty has decreed …"
The head eunuch opened the imperial edict and solemnly read it out.
The content was similar to the handwritten edict in Qin Feiyang's hands.
The only difference was that the handwritten edict wanted Qin Feiyang to replace the Imperial Preceptor and assist the little prince.
And in the imperial edict, the Imperial Preceptor still assisted the little prince in handling the state affairs.
After reading it out, the head eunuch looked at the little prince and the Imperial Preceptor and said, "Your Highness, Imperial Preceptor, please accept the edict!"
"This subject thanks Your Majesty for your trust."
"This subject swears here that I will not let Your Majesty down and assist His Highness well. For the Great Qin, for the people, I will do my best until I die."
The Imperial Preceptor prostrated in front of the head eunuch and shouted righteously, his face full of gratitude.
"This child thanks Father."
At the Empress's signal, the little prince also knelt on the ground and said respectfully. Then, he received the imperial edict from the head eunuch.
The chief eunuch took out the Imperial Jade Seal and looked at the little prince. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, please accept the Imperial Jade Seal."
At this moment.
The State Preceptor was extremely excited.
As long as the little prince received the Imperial Jade Seal, he would be the true emperor of the Great Qin Empire. No one could change that.
The Empress was equally excited.
A mother's status depended on her son!
Now that the little prince had become the Emperor, her status in the Imperial Palace would naturally rise as well.
"Wait!"
But just as the little prince stood up and was about to take the Imperial Jade Seal, a cold voice sounded.
"Hmm?"
Everyone was slightly startled and quickly looked towards the source of the voice. They saw that the person who spoke was the Marquis of Shao.
Both the Imperial Tutor and Empress Dowager's eyes flashed with hostility.
The head eunuch asked, "Does Marquis Shao have any objections?"
"This is Your Majesty's imperial edict. Naturally, I do not dare to object. However, I do not understand why Your Majesty did not attend such an important ceremony in person."
Marquis Shao said.
"So it's about that."
The head eunuch came to a realization and said with a smile, "Your Majesty knew that someone would ask this, so he specially instructed me to tell everyone that he is currently in seclusion and does not want to be distracted."
Marquis Shao asked, "Is seclusion more important than the coronation ceremony?"
The head eunuch's gaze turned slightly cold as he said, "How can we, mere mortals, guess the thoughts of Your Majesty? Therefore, Marquis Shao, please do not cause any more trouble in public and affect the progress of the ceremony. "
Marquis Shao's face darkened as he knelt on the ground and said, "I did not cause any trouble. I was just voicing out the doubts in my heart. If I have offended the dragon's might, I am willing to accept the punishment."
The head eunuch smiled and said, "Marquis Shao is concerned about Your Majesty. Your Majesty will definitely be deeply gratified when he learns of this. Please get up quickly."
Marquis Shao frowned as he stood up and retreated to the side.
He really wanted to see the Emperor, but based on the current situation, it was impossible.
The head eunuch also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He scanned the civil and military officials and the various Marquis and asked, "Does anyone else have any objections?"
"No."
Marquis Zhuge was the first to shake his head.
The others looked at each other and shook their heads as well.
The head eunuch swept his gaze across the crowd and looked at the little prince. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, please accept the Imperial Jade Seal!"
"Alright."
The little prince nodded and raised his hands. The head eunuch immediately placed the Imperial Jade Seal in the little prince's hands.
"This subject greets Your Majesty!"
Following closely.
The head eunuch was the first to kneel in front of the little prince and respectfully called out.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The officials knelt down once again.
The Imperial Advisor also bowed, but his hands were tightly clenched together. He was incomparably excited.
"Your Majesty."
"Please ascend to the Dragon Throne."
The head eunuch.
The little prince raised his head and looked at the Dragon Throne before skipping towards it.
The Empress hurriedly grabbed the little prince and said in a low voice, "Tian 'er, now that you are the Emperor, you can't be like this anymore. You have to be mature and solemn."
"How troublesome."
The little prince muttered in dissatisfaction as he allowed the Empress to pull him to the front of the Dragon Throne. He turned around and sat on it, unhappy.
However, the two small hands did not stop.
They touched here and there, unable to calm down.
At the end of the day, he was still a child.
It was difficult for him to be mature and steady like an adult.
The Imperial Advisor frowned and looked at the Empress. He sent a voice transmission, "This is improper. Hurry and carry him. Don't let him move."
"Alright."
The Empress nodded and carried the little prince. She sat on the Dragon Throne and held the little prince's hands with both hands. She whispered, "Tian 'er, everyone watch. Listen to your mother and don't move."
The little prince pouted and his little face was filled with displeasure.
The Imperial Advisor glanced at the little prince and walked to the side of the Dragon Throne. He looked at the officials and a cold glint flashed in his old eyes. "His Majesty is still young and there are many things that he doesn't know. Therefore, I hope that everyone can assist His Majesty with all their strength from now on to manage the court well and seek the well-being of the people."
"Yes, Imperial Advisor."
The civil and military officials and Marquises all cheered.
"Of course."
"If I find out that someone is playing tricks behind my back, I won't let them off easily!"
The Imperial Advisor said again.
His Majesty's eyes trembled and he said no.
"The Imperial Advisor is so impressive!"
But then.
A faint laugh suddenly sounded.
"Hmm?"
The Imperial Advisor raised his eyebrows and scanned the void in the square.
"He really came!"
The group of officials and the surrounding crowd could not help but feel a chill in their hearts when they heard this voice. They hurriedly looked at the void.
Because this voice was too familiar to everyone.
It was Qin Feiyang!
Under everyone's gaze, a young man in white appeared out of thin air under the statue of the Deceased Emperor.
Who else could it be but Qin Feiyang?
Everyone looked at Qin Feiyang's back and their pupils constricted.
The Imperial Advisor's brows were also furrowed.
But there was one person who was overjoyed when he saw Qin Feiyang appear.
That was the little prince!
"Brother …"
The little prince cried out in surprise and broke free from the Empress's arms and ran toward Qin Feiyang.
Seeing this.
The Imperial Advisor hurriedly grabbed the little prince and sent him back to the Empress. He said with a voice transmission, "If you don't keep an eye on him and let him do whatever he wants, don't blame me for being rude!"
The Empress's body trembled and she hurriedly hugged the little prince in her arms and whispered, "Tian 'er, I beg you, please don't move around now, okay?"
"I'm not, I just want to find my brother."
The little prince looked innocent.
"You may treat him as your brother, but he may not treat you as his brother. Don't be silly, okay?"
"Maybe he's here to steal the Martial Monarch Throne from you!"
The Empress said anxiously.
"Really?"
"That's great."
"Anyway, I don't like being the Emperor. It's definitely not fun, so I'll let my brother be the Emperor."
The little prince was overjoyed.
Hearing this, the Empress, the Imperial Advisor, the civil and military officials below, and the Marquises all changed their expressions.
The little prince did not care at all. He looked at the Empress and said coquettishly, "Mother, can you let my brother be the Emperor?"
The Imperial Advisor suddenly turned his head and stared at the little prince like a poisonous snake, his eyes flashing with a terrifying light.
The little prince was small and did not care at all.
However, the Empress's face turned pale instantly. She hurriedly covered the little prince's mouth and begged, "My little ancestor, can you stop talking?"
The little prince looked wronged.
Qin Feiyang did not seem to notice all of this. From the moment he appeared, he had been looking at the statue of his ancestor in silence.
After an unknown period of time.
Qin Feiyang suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully to the statue of his ancestor.
"Ancestor, don't worry …"
"The empire of the Great Qin will never be taken away because I'm here …"
After muttering in his heart, Qin Feiyang stood up and faced the Imperial Advisor and the others.
The Imperial Advisor frowned. "What are you doing here?"
Qin Feiyang glanced at the little prince and smiled at the Imperial Advisor. "As his brother, how can I not congratulate him on his ascension?"
"Congratulate?"
Everyone looked at each other.
It was probably not that simple!
However, no one dared to say it out loud.
The Imperial Advisor said in a deep voice, "Since you're here to congratulate, why did you come so late?"
"Don't you know?"
"The main character usually appears last."
Qin Feiyang chuckled.
The Empress said angrily, "Qin Feiyang, don't be presumptuous. The main character today is my son!"
"That's right!"
"Today is the day of His Majesty Haotian's ascension, but you say that you are the main character. May I ask what your intentions are?"
Zhuge Wuhou also shouted.
Qin Feiyang glanced at the Empress and Zhuge Wuhou, and the corner of his mouth pursed into a playful smile. He said, "The two of you are indeed close friends. Even your words are so tacit."
The word close friend was especially emphasized.
When the two of them heard this, a trace of panic immediately appeared on their faces.
Could it be that this little bastard already knew about their matter?
The Imperial Advisor raised his eyebrows imperceptibly and looked at Qin Feiyang. "Since you're here to congratulate, you should have prepared a gift, right?"
"Of course."
"And there's more than one gift."
Qin Feiyang nodded and said with a smile.
The Imperial Advisor said, "Then please present it!"
"Don't worry."
"Before presenting the gift, I still have something to deal with."
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly and slowly walked towards the little prince.
"Qin Feiyang, His Highness Haotian is now the Emperor of the Great Qin. You'd better not act recklessly."
