Ra is supreme

The emperor turned to Prime Minister Liu behind him and said, "My dear Liu, please draft an imperial edict for me immediately. I will immediately announce to the world that I will confer the title of Princess Long Siqi." After a pause, he continued, "As for Princess Long's origins, there is no need to explain in detail."

"I obey your command!" Prime Minister Liu quickly walked down the steps of the Temple of Heaven, waved to his entourage, and went to arrange the preparation of the drafting of the memorial.

At the Temple of Heaven, the emperor led the others to continue to introduce Chinese culture and relevant information of the country to Long Siqi with a smile.

At the foot of the Temple of Heaven, the ministers who had been confused just now saw the emperor and the imperial preceptor talking and laughing with the little girl, and their tension eased a little. Everyone began to whisper. Some were discussing the golden dragon they had just seen, some were discussing the imperial preceptor Li Qi's extraordinary ability to communicate with gods, some were discussing the majesty and domineering of Jinyiwei Xiang Zuoshi when facing the giant beast, and many more were discussing the little girl of unknown origin.

For a moment, there was some unrest around the Temple of Heaven.

At this time, the princes who had been kneeling in the square closest to the Temple of Heaven could no longer hold back. Led by the Crown Prince Wang Shangyang, several princes who were on good terms with him prepared to get up and go to the Temple of Heaven to see what was going on. The Crown Prince and several other princes exchanged glances and whispered a few words, and then the Crown Prince walked in front, leading a few people to slowly walk towards the emperor and his men.

The emperor was introducing Long Siqi enthusiastically when he was interrupted by the princes who came to inquire about the situation.

"Father, your Majesty, your son Wang Shangyang and several princes have come to pay you a visit. Just now, we saw a divine dragon appear below, and saw that your Majesty was filled with joy. Is it that the divine dragon's descent to the Temple of Heaven brings any good news?" Crown Prince Wang Shangyang said respectfully.

This prince was the baby that Li Qi, the national teacher, saved. He was weak and sickly when he was born. Although he was saved by Li Qi, his physique was not good and he would get sick from time to time. Because of his poor physique, he could not draw a bow and shoot arrows since he was a child. He had no chance to practice martial arts and could only concentrate on studying. He was well aware of his poor physical condition and was always worried that his position would be replaced by other princes. Therefore, he gradually became a small-minded and narrow-minded person. He was full of suspicion and distrust of the people around him, and always suspected that someone was plotting against him behind his back in an attempt to take away his position as the prince. He was even more hostile to other capable princes, always paying attention to their every move, looking for their flaws and weaknesses.

The prince's narrow-mindedness also affected his character and behavior. He became more and more sinister and cold, unwilling to confide in others, even his own brothers. He only cared about power and status. In order to keep his position as the prince, he would do anything, even at any cost.

In the Cold Weapon Age, when the royal family selected the heir to the throne, they would not only consider the family status and title of the prince's mother, but also the prince's health and his ability to be both civil and military. The prince's health has always been a concern for the emperor. If the prince inherits the throne in the future, how can an emperor who does not know martial arts lead his troops to resist foreign enemies?

The emperor was the first monarch of the Huaxia Dynasty. His full name was Wang Chaoyang. He had been a soldier all his life. He was both civil and military, brave and resourceful. The dynasty was established for only more than 20 years. The borders often faced invasions from foreign enemies, especially the fierce bandits from the Huns. Although they were nomadic peoples, they were born with brute strength and were not afraid of death.

The Nu Xiong committed all kinds of evil in the northern border of China, and the border areas were repeatedly invaded. The people lived in poverty, and the court had to spend a lot of manpower and financial resources every year to barely stabilize the war situation. The emperor knew that a war with the Nu Xiong was inevitable, so the future heir to the throne must choose a prince who was as talented as him in both civil and military affairs, brave and resourceful, so that he could protect the country he had worked so hard to build. Moreover, no emperor was willing to let a short-lived son inherit the country.

When the prince was a few years old, the emperor proposed the idea of ​​changing the prince, but due to the strong opposition of the queen and her family, the matter was postponed. This also caused dissatisfaction and worry in the prince, who felt that his position was precarious since he was a child.

Today, when a giant golden dragon appeared over the Temple of Heaven and the Jinyiwei were helpless, Wang Shangyang, the crown prince, not only did not arrange for the masters around him to rescue the emperor, but instead came up with an evil idea. He hoped that the emperor would be scared to death or eaten by the dragon, and he would take advantage of the chaos to escape. When the crisis was resolved, he would naturally become the second emperor of China, and as for the princes who did not obey him, they would all be executed for treason.

The emperor loved his princes very much, so naturally he had no intention of blaming them for not coming to save him. He said happily, "My princes, you have come at the right time. I would like to introduce you to this. This is the Little Dragon Goddess, Princess Long Siqi. She will be a member of our royal family from now on. Princess Long will be my equal from now on. Come and pay your respects to her!"

The Crown Prince and several other princes looked at each other in bewilderment. This beautiful little girl in front of them looked only ten years old. Could she have such great power? She wanted to be on an equal footing with her father? Everyone frowned slightly, but since their father had given the order, everyone had seen the golden dragon appear just now.

The prince walked up to Long Siqi first, bowed with a smile and said, "Princess Long Siqi, welcome to China and welcome to become a member of the royal family. From now on we are a family." The princes following behind him also followed the prince's example and bowed to Long Siqi. Long Siqi looked at them, her expression still calm, and she just nodded slightly.

The prince looked at the little girl in front of him and thought, this little girl is really arrogant. He will go ask the imperial teacher Li Qi what is going on.

The emperor was very satisfied with this harmonious scene. He stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.

Prime Minister Liu had already drafted the imperial edict to confer the title. He stepped forward respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial edict to confer the title of Princess Long Siqi has been drafted. Please review it!"

The reading officer beside Prime Minister Liu stepped forward quickly, unfolded the bamboo slips, and let the emperor take a look. The emperor took the brush from the reading officer, crossed out the contents while reading, and finished the revision in a short while. Then he said, "Lord Liu, please arrange for the reading of the imperial edict."

"Your humble servant obeys your command." Prime Minister Liu took the bamboo slips and looked at them carefully, and was a little surprised. The lengthy imperial edict he had drafted, which not only praised the emperor's great achievements, but also extols the admiration for the dragon, and also made a beautiful vision for the future of China, has now been simplified by the emperor to only a few sentences.

Prime Minister Liu has followed the emperor for decades and can be considered a worm in the emperor's stomach. He has drafted similar imperial edicts of enthronement several times. Prime Minister Liu naturally knows what the emperor wants to convey. Today's imperial edict of enthronement is really too concise.

But this was rewritten by the emperor himself, so it must be read according to the original text.
