In the main hall, Ouyang Shuo began to confer titles.
"Shi Wansui is the Marquis of Bravery and Loyalty, third-class Marquis; Bai Qi is the Marquis of Wu An, third-class Marquis; Fan Zhongyan is the Marquis of Chu Xiang, third-class Marquis; Du Ruhui is the Marquis of Cai Xiang, third-class Marquis!"
The four of them stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live the King!" Among them, Shi Wansui was the most excited. He didn't think that the King would be so loyal.
Shi Wansui was the first general to follow Ouyang Shuo. He grew up with the Great Xia Dynasty and was the most meritorious general in the territory. He was the first to be conferred the title of Marquis.
Bai Qi was the key figure in the rise and transformation of the territory's army. He was also the leader of Shanhai City's expansion and the invincible war god of the Great Xia Dynasty. He was the second to be conferred the title of Marquis.
Fan Zhongyan was the first official to appear in the territory. He participated in the establishment and operation of Shanhai City's political structure. He was also the third to be conferred the title of Marquis.
Du Ruhui had been in charge of the military office for a long time and was the core figure in the reorganization of the army. Although her performance was not eye-catching, she was a hero behind the scenes and was the fourth to be conferred the title of Marquis.
Among the NPCs, only these four civil and military officials were conferred the title of Marquis. The rest of the civil and military officials were conferred the titles of Count, Viscount, and Baron according to their contributions.
After the coronation ceremony, the list of titles would be issued in the form of an imperial edict.
Other than the NPCs, there was another group of people waiting to be conferred the title. They were the lords who had annexed their territories to the Great Xia Dynasty. Ouyang Shuo would also confer them the title of Marquis so that his allies would not be disappointed.
An NPC becoming a Noble was only a form of honor. There was neither a fiefdom nor an additional salary. However, it was different for a Lord player becoming a Noble. Ouyang Shuo would bestow a corresponding fiefdom to them, allowing them to obtain additional benefits.
This was done to link the Overlord players' Achievement Points after the game ended.
Ouyang Shuo slowly said, "I hereby bestow upon Bai Hua the title of Marquis Lingxi, a third-rank marquis; I hereby bestow upon Mu Lanyue the title of Marquis Mulan, a third-rank marquis; and I hereby bestow upon Sun Xiaoyue the title of Earl of Cliff Mountain, a first-rank earl.
Ouyang Shuo was especially kind to Sun Xiaoyue, a woman he had interacted with in real life. Although Sun Xiaoyue wasn't a lord, she was still conferred the title of a first-rank earl, second only to White Birch and Magnolia.
Of course, as the number one architect of the Great Xia Dynasty, who had participated in the planning of Cliff Mountain City, Shanhai City, and the Summer Palace, and was also the president of the [Falling Moon Society], Sun Xiaoyue deserved this title.
The three women stepped forward with different expressions on their faces. In the end, they all bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Long live the King, long live the King!"
The conferment of the remaining Lord Nobles was also announced in the form of an imperial edict. The principle that Ouyang Shuo adhered to was that, within the limits of his ability, he would do his best not to lower the level of the lord's title that was sealed.
At this point, the conferment of officials and nobility officially came to an end.
?? "A new dynasty has been established. This King has ascended the throne. I hope that all the ministers will work hard." Said Ouyang Shuo. He then looked at the official and said: "I will confer the title of Empress of the Protectorate of the Protectorate of Heaven and Earth to the title of Empress of the Protectorate of Heaven and Earth to the title of Second Marquis, Ying Yue Princess to the title of Third Marquis, Ying Yue Princess to the title of Third Marquis, Ying Yue Princess to the title of Second Marquis."
Ying You, Qing 'er, and Bing' er were the three Princess Royal. In order to take care of the officials' concerns, Ouyang Shuo did not treat them equally.
Among the three eldest princesses, Bing 'er had the highest rank, followed by Ying You and Qing' er.
At this time, the new dynasty was established, and the Emperor's ascension ceremony was completed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the ceremony is over, let's begin the military parade. I still need to see the Queen. Dismissed!"
They entered the palace through the door.
The weather was beautiful, and the sun shone brightly. They rode on the palanquin and passed through the Nine Stacks Sect. There were no clouds in the sky, and the sun was shining brightly. The palace was bathed in a splendid light.
Inside the Frost Cloud Palace.
Song Jia had already changed into the Queen's attire. Next to her were Ying You, Qing 'er, and Bing' er. They had also changed into princess attire and were competing with each other in beauty.
There were also two young girls in the palace. They were Nü Wa and Huo Chengjun.
For this coronation ceremony, apart from Gu Xiuwen and a few other high officials, the rest of the prefectural governors had all arrived in the capital a day earlier to witness this great moment.
Only less than half of the generals in the army had come because they were responsible for defending their territory.
Huo Chengjun was the same as Nü Wa. He had also begged his father Huo Guang to bring him to the ceremony. The three girls of the same age stood together, looking really innocent and unaffected.
When they saw Ouyang Shuo, Zi Su, the new head of the palace's female officials, led a group of female officials and palace maids, bowed and saluted: "Long live our King, long live!"
When Nü Wa and Huo Chengjun saw him, they shouted in unison: "Brother King!"
Their voices were crisp and clear, like a spring breeze.
Song Jia also led the three sisters in saluting and said: "King (Brother King)!"
Seeing Bing 'er mimicking her two sisters in saluting, Ouyang Shuo smiled brightly. His promise to his sister was finally fulfilled today.
Looking at the graceful young girl in front of him, Ouyang Shuo felt that everything was worth it.
"Let's go, follow me to the ceremony."
Ouyang Shuo did not want the officials to wait for too long. He stayed in the Frost Cloud Palace for a while before setting off again. Along the way, he was majestic and glorious.
On the viewing platform in front of the Summer Palace, the civil and military officials were already in place. Apart from them, there were also invited guests. They could not attend the sacrificial ceremony and were already waiting at the viewing platform.
When Ouyang Shuo walked down from the imperial carriage, he was greeted by a tsunami of cheers.
"Long live our King, long live our King, long live our King!"
When Feng Qiuhuang, Lao Ai, and the other lords, including Zhan Lang, saw this, they all looked envious. To the lords of the wilderness, this was the greatest honor.
Perhaps they were also thinking about the day when they would ascend to the throne.
Ouyang Shuo brought Song Jia and the others to sit at the center of the viewing platform. Military Minister Du Ruhui, who was in charge of the military parade, immediately stood up and said loudly: "The military parade begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bell and drum sounded, but it was military music.
Accompanied by the rhythmic sound of military music and the drumbeats, the phalanxes for inspection filed in one after another. At the front was the Iron Armor Heavy Cavalry Brigade of the imperial guards personally led by Huo Qubing.
Behind them was the mountain barbarian heavy infantry led by E Lai, the Iron Eagle swordsmen led by Bai Qi, the Li mountain troops led by Sun Bin, and the Radiant Armor heavy cavalry led by Han Xin.
They were all symbolic troops of the various armies, which was a feast for the eyes of the guests.
When the war elephant appeared on the parade ground, it caused another wave of exclamations. Following closely behind the war elephant was a P1 Cannon pulled by four horses. It was a shocking sight to behold.
Behind them were the five major fleets of the navy, which mainly consisted of musketeers. Coupled with the characteristics of the five fleets, it had a unique flavor. Especially when they saw Admiral Alvaro of the Mediterranean Fleet, many of the lords had a new understanding of the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The last to appear were the allied troops brought by Feng Qiuhuang, Tao Wu, and the Siege Lion. They had also spent a lot of effort to bring the most powerful troops of their respective territories.
Feng Qiuhuang brought the Iron Stupa Cavalry Brigade, Tao Wu brought the Mongolian Cavalry Brigade, and the Siege Lion brought a strangely dressed light cavalry brigade, which was presumably the special troops of the Jiangchuan Province.
The powerful troops displayed their majesty on the parade ground, which broadened the horizons of the guests. At the same time, they could not help but be secretly shocked by the strength of the Great Xia Dynasty's army.
When the aerial team gracefully flew over the viewing platform and dropped colorful ribbons, the military parade that lasted for nearly one and a half hours officially came to an end.
In the face of such an invincible iron army with a scale of nearly two million people, the lords seemed to have lost their last bit of courage to go against the Great Xia Dynasty.
It was noon when the military parade ended.
Ouyang Shuo personally hosted a banquet in the main hall of the Xia Palace to entertain the civil and military officials, as well as the guests. As soon as the banquet ended, the guests took their leave one by one.
This enthronement ceremony had left an indelible impression on the guests.
Before Kalia left, he extended an invitation to Ouyang Shuo, hoping that if Ouyang Shuo had the time, he would come to Atlantis City to discuss how to join forces to deal with the problem of the Mediterranean Sea.
Ouyang Shuo agreed with a smile. He had the same intention.
When the girl left, she was reluctant to part with him.
Only when Ouyang Shuo promised that he would make time to visit her in the tribe did the girl smile. Ouyang Shuo also hoped to use this opportunity to build a deeper friendship with the Yan Huang tribe.
After the guests left one by one, Shanhai City finally regained its peace. Of course, the peace was only relative. At night, there would be an even more lively celebration of lights in the city.
At that time, the local counties would also have an elaborate celebration ceremony to show that the whole world was celebrating.
…
After the bustle faded, Ouyang Shuo was still waiting to receive his reward.
Gaia was really generous this time. Only after the enthronement ceremony of the Great Xia Dynasty came to an end did they make a series of announcements. They did not allow the system announcements to disrupt the normal progress of the enthronement ceremony.
At two in the afternoon, the system announcement sounded on time.
"System Announcement: Congratulations to player Who Says That Has No Clothes. He has successfully established the Great Xia Dynasty. His reign title is Divine Martial, and he has become the first lord in the China region to be crowned king. He is specially rewarded with 100,000 contribution points, 200,000 Reputation points, 5,000,000 gold coins, and a special reward. Congratulations player!"
…
Faced with such a system announcement, the players in the China region already knew what was going to happen. What they were curious about was the special reward that Gaia would bestow upon Ouyang Shuo.
After all, establishing a dynasty was an even more impressive achievement than being promoted to a capital city. Just the reward of contribution points, Reputation points, and money was not enough to show off his contributions.
Even so, 5,000,000 gold coins had completely blinded countless players. For more than 99% of the players, just this sum of money was something they could never achieve even if they worked hard their entire lives.
