"My Lord, Lord Tong asked me to inform you that everything is ready." The next morning, around 10 AM, a little eunuch ran into the Emperor's bedroom and reported to Sei Itō who was wearing the Emperor's ceremonial robe.
"I see." Sei Itō opened his arms and let the maid tidy up his clothes.
"You guys should also come and watch the ceremony." Then Sei Itō looked at CC, Lakshata, Royd, Cecil, Cornelia, and Euphemia through the reflection of the mirror in front of him.
"Not interested." CC said with a pizza in her hand.
"Okay, it's a good opportunity to see the difference between the Chinese Federation's coronation ceremony and the Britannia Empire's." Royd pushed up his glasses and said, "You should be interested in this as well, Cecil."
"Mhmm." Cecil nodded.
"I forgot, Cecil, you're quite knowledgeable about folklore." Sei Itō smiled as he looked at Cecil through the reflection of the mirror.
"It doesn't matter, there's no harm in participating." Lakshata said casually as she leaned against a red cushion.
"We will participate." Cornelia said on behalf of herself and Euphemia.
Euphemia also nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everyone except CC agreed to attend the ceremony, Ito Sei smiled and once again accepted the clothes of the palace maids with peace of mind.
"My Lord, it's done." After another minute or two, the three maids around Sei Itō stepped aside and said to Sei Itō.
"Not bad." Ito Sei looked at himself in the mirror wearing a black Han Dynasty ceremonial robe and nodded with satisfaction. Then he turned around and looked at the Emperor Jiang Lihua and Kagura who were also served by two or three maids.
"We're also ready." Kagura, whose right hand was holding the Emperor's left hand, smiled.
"Alright, let's go." Sei Itō smiled as he stretched out his hands in front of him.
Seeing this, Kagura and Jiang Lihua stepped in front of Sei Itō, each of them holding one of Sei Itō's hands, and under the protection of the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards outside, they slowly walked towards Heaven Origin Hall.
Behind them, Cornelia, Euphemia, Lloyd, Lakshata, and Cecil followed closely behind. They headed towards Qianyuan Palace.
Just like that, ten minutes later, Sei Itō's group arrived in front of the Qian Yuan Hall and walked in.
At this moment, in the Qian Yuan Great Hall. In addition to the officials of Luoyang who were under house arrest by Sei Itō for a night, there were also more than ten staff members holding various instruments under the command of Diluhart. They recorded Sei Itō's style and prepared to broadcast it to the world together with the upcoming live broadcast of the abdication ceremony.
"Welcome, Your Majesty the Son of Heaven!" The moment Sei Itō, Jiang Lihua, and Kagura walked into the hall. All the officials of the Chinese Federation in the hall bowed down and knelt on the ground, respectfully shouting.
Sei Itō and Jiang Lihua didn't speak, they just walked along the center path made by the ministers, step by step, to the front of the high platform, and stepped on the high platform's nine-story high platform.
Until then, Sei Itō, Jiang Lihua, and Kagura turned around and faced the ministers kneeling below. And standing on the side, the ambassadors of various countries who were invited by the Ministry of Rites to Luoyang, Cornelia, and others.
Of course, those ministers and ambassadors of various countries naturally caused some commotion after seeing Cornelia and Euphemia, but they also knew that now wasn't the time to make noise, so they put away the strange feeling in their hearts. They calmed down and watched the abdication ceremony of the Emperor of the Chinese Federation.
"Start the live broadcast!" At the same time, Dilluhart whispered to the staff next to him.
In an instant, all the TV stations and radio stations in the Chinese Federation and Japan cut off the signal and changed to news and video about the abdication ceremony.
Similarly, after receiving calls from all sides, the TV stations and radio stations of the Britannia Empire and the European Union also broadcast the news of the abdication ceremony of the Chinese Federation.
"By the will of Heaven, the Son of Heaven decrees: I have ascended the throne since childhood …" At this time, the Grand Eunuch Tong Lun stepped forward, unfolded the imperial edict in his hand, and read it aloud in front of all the ministers, ambassadors, and the world's TV audience.
"… My heart is not afraid, specially imitating the three ancient emperors, abdicating the throne of Sei Itō, in hope that the country will be stable, the people will be prosperous, and the history of China will be extended! This is the Emperor's decree. "After a lot of eloquent speech, Tong Lun shouted loudly.
In fact, although the content of the imperial edict was a lot, it was summarized in a few sentences.
"I, the Son of Heaven, have ascended the throne since childhood, and it has been eight years since then. However, during my reign, I have not been able to bring prosperity and stability to the people, and I feel very ashamed. But recently, I met a great sage by chance and knew that he could lead the country to prosperity, so I am determined to imitate the three ancient emperors and abdicate the throne, hoping that the new emperor can bring stability to the country, make the people prosperous, and continue the Chinese civilization. "
"The Son of Heaven is virtuous!" After the imperial edict was read, the ministers knelt on the ground again and shouted in unison.
…
"Damn it!" Li Xingke, who was confronting the Britannia army at the border of Inner Mongolia, fiercely squeezed the teacup in his hand and looked at the TV and cursed in a low voice.
Although he had long known that this day would come, when this day suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Xingke still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
"Sir, please calm down. At this point, there is no turning back. For the sake of the Son of Heaven, we should think about how to defeat the Britannia army." An officer on the side sighed.
"I know." Li Xingke loosened his hand and threw away the broken pieces of the teacup in his hand, took a deep breath, and calmly said.
Seeing Li Xingke calm down again, the other officers looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Among them, Karin and Zhou Xianlin, who had already seen Sei Itō's magical means and was promised by Sei Itō to be his woman in the future, were greatly relieved. The two of them were really afraid that Li Xingke would lead the troops back to Luoyang at all costs!
The scene once again returned to the Qianyuan Hall in Zhujin City in Luoyang …
Then, Tong Lun turned around and knelt in front of Sei Itō and shouted, "Welcome, new emperor!"
"Welcome, new emperor!" The ministers shouted in unison.
"I will lead the Chinese Federation to stand at the top of the world for a long time!" Sei Itō promised loudly to the ministers. Then, he stepped back and sat on the jade throne that represented the supreme imperial power.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The ministers who had just straightened their upper bodies bowed again.
Then, Tong Lun, who got up again, pulled out a bright yellow imperial edict from his sleeve and unfolded it, reading it loudly to the crowd.
The content of this imperial edict was relatively simple. It was to tell the ministers and outsiders present that Sei Itō had ascended the throne, and the country's name was still "China". The only change was that Sei Itō's imperial title was "Wuwei". At the same time, it was announced that the former Emperor of the Chinese Federation, Jiang Lihua, and the only survivor of the former Japanese imperial family, Emperor Kagura, would be his concubines and would be married three days later.
"I announce that Japan is officially incorporated into the Chinese Empire. From now on, we will be one country, and there will be no distinction between each other!" After Tong Lun finished reading the imperial edict, Kagura, who was sitting on the right side of Sei Itō, stood up and walked to the edge of the high platform and announced loudly.
At this point, the main content of the abdication ceremony was completely over, and they entered the banquet greeting process.
After the banquet entered a certain degree, Sei Itō raised his cup to the people in the hall and said loudly, "Everyone, as a celebration of my ascension, I have a good show for everyone to watch."
Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Sei Itō turned his head and nodded to Diluhart who was standing not far away.
Seeing this, Diluhart immediately understood and gave instructions to the staff around him.
Soon, a huge LCD screen was pushed by several imperial guards and placed in front of the wall on the side of Qian Yuan Hall. Then, the LCD screen flashed slightly, and the image of a city appeared on the LCD screen.
"That's the imperial capital!?" The ambassador of the Britannia Empire who came to watch the ceremony exclaimed with some uncertainty. Then he turned his head to look at Cornelia and You Fei on the side to confirm whether his guess was correct.
"Yes, it's the imperial capital." Cornelia nodded and confirmed.
"What does this new emperor mean?" Hearing Cornelia's confirmation, the other ambassadors and ministers immediately whispered to each other.
"You must have guessed it. Yes, this is the capital of the Britannia Empire, and the show I want to invite everyone to watch is there." Sei Itō said to the whispering crowd.
After saying that, the palm hidden under the sleeve of his ceremonial robe moved, and a special mobile phone appeared in his hand. He moved his finger and pressed on one of the buttons.
"Everyone, please take a look." Sei Itō, who pressed the button to put away the mobile phone, called out.
As soon as his voice fell, the figure of the Archangel suddenly appeared on the LCD screen.
"What is that!?" Seeing the huge Archangel, the ministers and ambassadors clamored again. However, before they could clamor for long, the next change that appeared on the screen immediately made them swallow the words in their throats.
On the LCD screen, the missile launch port at the stern of the Archangel and the self-propelled Vulcan cannons around the hull opened up and bombarded the capital of the Britannia Empire.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom …" In an instant, a series of clear and audible explosions could be heard from the LCD screen. At the same time, a large amount of smoke and dust appeared on the screen, turning the originally clear screen into a gray area.
Fortunately, the gray area disappeared as quickly as it appeared. It didn't take long for it to disappear from the screen, but the huge Archangel that originally stayed on the screen also disappeared with the dust.
"Wuwei Emperor, you are declaring war! Declaring war! " Looking at the messy imperial capital on the screen, the Britannia ambassador to the Chinese Federation pointed at Sei Itō and said loudly.
