The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Now that this has happened, the day has come for Hang Fufeng to enter the ancestral temple.

Its high standards and grand scenes are comparable to the important ceremonies of the royal family in the Tang Dynasty.

On the day of the ceremony, the palace was decorated with lights and red carpets.

The ministers, dressed in court robes, stood on both sides, looking solemn and expectant.

Hang Fufeng was dressed in a solemn formal suit and had a calm temperament. He slowly walked into the hall under the guidance of his attendants.

The emperor sat high on the dragon throne, majestic and solemn.

As Hang Fufeng approached, the emperor nodded slightly, his eyes revealing relief and kindness.

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies sang loudly: "The ceremony begins, burn incense."

Hang Fufeng took the incense and candles respectfully and bowed to the heaven, earth and ancestors to show his respect.

Then, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies said, "Present the treasure."

Hang Fufeng presented carefully prepared gifts to show his filial piety.

The ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner. The ministers watched quietly, secretly guessing the emperor's intentions.

When all the rituals were completed, the emperor slowly stood up and scanned the entire audience.

All the ministers fell silent immediately, and the hall was filled with silence.

The emperor cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "Today, I hold this ceremony here to recognize the exiled prince Hang Fufeng. My bloodline has gone through many twists and turns, and now it can return. It is really a blessing from heaven. Hang Fufeng is smart and courageous, and has a sense of justice. I am deeply gratified. Here, I decide to make Hang Fufeng the crown prince to inherit the throne."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked, and then they all knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise, and may the prince live a thousand years."

Hang Fufeng was also startled, but he quickly regained his composure and knelt down to express his gratitude: "I thank you for your grace, father. I will live up to your expectations and do my best for the country of Jin and the welfare of the people."

The emperor nodded slightly and signaled Hang Fufeng to stand up.

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies sang loudly again: "The ceremony of succession to the throne of the crown prince begins."

Hang Fufeng was stunned. He really didn't expect that the emperor would choose the same day for the ceremony and prepare everything in advance.

But since he has done it, he just has to bear it. After all, this is also his goal.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became more solemn and dignified.

Under the guidance of the eunuch in charge of ceremonies, the ministers once again performed the great salute and shouted "Long live the emperor". The sound rose up like waves and echoed in the hall.

"Long live Long live Long live!"

The ministers looked respectful and moved in unison. Their court robes shone with solemnity under the light and shadow.

Then, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies announced: "Grant the crown prince his seal and ribbon."

Several attendants walked solemnly towards Hang Fufeng, carrying the seal and ribbon symbolizing the prince's position.

The seal was placed on an exquisite tray, wrapped with golden silk threads, emitting a mysterious and noble glow under the slanting sunlight.

The emperor slowly stood up and picked up the seal and ribbon himself, his eyes full of expectations and instructions.

The emperor walked up to Hang Fufeng, paused for a moment, and then solemnly handed the seal and ribbon to Hang Fufeng.

Hang Fufeng took it with slightly trembling hands. At that moment, he seemed to feel the weight of a thousand pounds. His expression was solemn and determined, and the light of responsibility flashed in his eyes.

Afterwards, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies said, "Give the crown and robes to the crown prince."

A group of palace maids came in front of Hang Fufeng holding the gorgeous crown and robes of the crown prince.

The crown was made of the finest silk and embroidered with exquisite patterns. The golden silk threads outlined the auspicious scene of dragons and phoenixes, which was dazzling and brilliant.

The palace maids gently put on the crown and robes for Hang Fufeng, and adjusted the corners of his clothes and cuffs.

With the help of his attendants, Hang Fufeng slowly put on his crown and robes. Suddenly, he seemed to exude an aura of majesty and dignity that made people dare not look directly at him.

Afterwards, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies sang: "The prince pays his respects."

Hang Fufeng turned to the emperor again, his eyes full of gratitude and awe.

Kneel down slowly with steady and solemn movements, and then perform the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows.

Every time he kowtowed, there was a slight and dull sound, as if telling of his loyalty to the emperor and his determination for the future.

After the ceremony, the emperor said: "My son, now that you are the crown prince, you should be diligent in government affairs, care about the people, and work hard for the prosperity of the Jin Kingdom."

The emperor's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the hall.

Hang Fufeng responded respectfully: "I will follow your father's instructions and do my best."

His voice was firm and loud, revealing great determination.

At this time, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies shouted: "The ceremony is complete, all the ministers congratulate."

The ministers knelt again and shouted: "Long live the prince, and the Kingdom of Jin will prosper forever."

The whole ceremony ended in a solemn and warm atmosphere, marking that Hang Fufeng officially embarked on the path of becoming the crown prince and shouldered the heavy responsibility for the future of the Jin Kingdom.

After the ceremony, Hang Fufeng had just changed into a lighter outfit when he was summoned by the emperor to go to the place where the emperor governed the country.

Hang Fufeng stepped into the hall and saw the emperor sitting behind a desk, his expression dignified yet somewhat kind.

Hang Fufeng bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."

The emperor raised his hand slightly, indicating that Hang Fufeng did not need to be polite.

"My son, now that you have become the crown prince, you should know that you have a heavy responsibility." The emperor's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the palace.

Hang Fufeng lowered his head and listened with a serious expression.

"I understand. I will do my best to live up to my father's expectations and work hard for the welfare of the country and the people of Jin."

The emperor nodded slightly and looked at Hang Fufeng with deep eyes. "The position of the crown prince is a treasure of the country. You must be benevolent and wise, govern the country with talents, and be diligent in government affairs. Don't be arrogant and reckless, and fail my trust."

Hang Fufeng bowed again and said, "Father, I will remember your teachings in my heart. I will win the hearts of the people with my benevolence and govern with wisdom, and create a prosperous future for the Kingdom of Jin."

The emperor was pleased. "My son is determined. I am very pleased. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can always come and discuss with me."

Hang Fufeng said gratefully: "Thank you, father. I will definitely live up to your trust."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "My son, now that you are the crown prince, have you ever thought about how to arrange your marriage?"

Hang Fufeng was slightly stunned, then he replied respectfully: "Father, I have been busy with state affairs and have not thought about marriage. But I know that the position of Crown Princess is very important and I should choose carefully."

The emperor nodded slightly, "That's right. The Crown Princess needs to be virtuous, intelligent, and able to assist you in governing the country. Do you have someone you like?"

Hang Fufeng thought for a moment, and the figure of General Chao's daughter Chao Yaoyao appeared in his mind, but he did not mention it rashly, but just replied: "I don't have anyone I like at the moment, please give me some advice, father."

The emperor looked at her with deep eyes. "I heard that General Chao's daughter, Chao Yaoyao, is smart and courageous, and she has met you before. What do you think of this girl?"

Hang Fufeng was delighted, but his face remained calm. "Miss Chao is indeed extraordinary. If I can get her as the Crown Princess, I believe she will be able to help me."

The emperor smiled and said, "In that case, I will make the decision for you and discuss this matter with the generals. You should focus on state affairs and don't let the beauty down."

Hang Fufeng knelt down to express his gratitude, "I thank you very much, father, for your help. I will definitely live up to your expectations, and Miss Chao."
