After days of heavy rain, the sky cleared up today. There was not a single dark cloud in the sky, as if trying to please the new emperor.

Officials from all over the country received the notice and arrived at the imperial city one after another.

This was the first time in history that a female emperor ascended the throne. Both officials and common people were extremely excited and they were full of longing for the future of South Vietnam.

Officials from all over the country gathered in the square outside the pilgrimage hall. The dragon throne was placed on the highest step of the pilgrimage hall to make it easier for officials to see the true appearance of the new emperor.

The ministers entered the palace early in the morning and stood in their respective positions according to their official positions. What made everyone curious was...

Next to the dragon throne there is an identical seat, which is level with it, which has never appeared before.

It didn't look like a phoenix chair, and it shouldn't have appeared in this occasion. Some officials from other places couldn't help but ask the minister in front of them, "Sir, who is the seat next to the dragon chair for?"

The minister who was asked looked at the position with respect. If he guessed correctly, it should be prepared for the goddess. But would the goddess participate in the coronation ceremony of a mortal?

He glanced at the minor official who asked the question and said, "It should be the position of the goddess, right?" with some uncertainty.

The other person blinked his big eyes again and again. Are all the officials in the imperial city so shocking in their words?

Although the coronation ceremony was very sacred and grand, the goddess was attending? How was that possible?

The man looked at him in disbelief and stepped aside, thinking that the other person was not in his right mind.

The people around also heard their conversation and moved away from the officials who were originally residents of the imperial city. They seemed to be suffering from some serious illness.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Following Eunuch Wang’s announcement, the ministers witnessed a scene that they would never forget in their lives.

The jade crown and black robe are surrounded by a glow, and the black robe is dotted with stars. Every step he takes leaves a string of starlight on the ground, and every step is majestic and elegant.

"Hiss" Some ministers could not help but gasp. Is this a divine robe? This is definitely a divine robe.

Nan Wanxing walked up the stairs, each step light yet full of weight. She looked in the direction of the dragon throne, which was getting closer and closer.

There was a fluctuation of energy, and a figure appeared next to the dragon throne. Ziyou just sat there, with one hand on the armrest of the chair, supporting his cheek, looking at her with interest.

When she reached her side, Nan Wanxing turned around and, as a woman, looked down upon all the civil and military officials.

"From now on, the phoenix and the phoenix are equal. I will create a new era. The stars are with me. I hope you will work with me."

Just as the words fell, a pair of phoenixes glowing with golden light flew over with colorful clouds all over the sky, accompanied by a dragon roar that resounded through the clouds. A pink dragon appeared in the eyes of all people. They circled above the empress for a long time, congratulating her.

The historian was so excited that he took out paper and pen on the spot and wrote down this grand event in great haste.

The first time people saw the legendary phoenix and dragon was actually thanks to His Majesty.

The auspicious sign came to the world just to congratulate the empress on her accession to the throne, and the excitement of the people of Nanyue reached its peak. They all stopped to admire this spectacular sight that only happened once in a thousand years. Some covered their mouths and cried, and some talked to each other in secret. They knew that their future days would not be so hard.

No one will forget this scene, but it is just the beginning.

The ministers, having recovered from their shock, immediately knelt down.

"Your subjects greet the Empress."

The sounds of this and that filled the entire palace.

They whispered to each other privately: "The goddess has really come. It seems that our South Vietnam is really blessed by God."

Another person shook his head: "Why do I feel that the goddess only favors our Majesty? We are just incidental..."

They secretly glanced at the figures on the platform again. The goddess was sitting and their majesty was standing. It was a strange harmony.

"Why hasn't our Majesty sat on the dragon throne yet?"

"Who can guess what your majesty is thinking? Keep your voice down."

The two of them didn't pay attention to what the people below were talking about. Nan Wanxing turned his head slightly to look at Ziyou, but Ziyou didn't look back. He just looked at the minister, not knowing what he was thinking.

This coronation ceremony can truly be recorded in history. This unprecedented scene is still envied by people in later generations.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the first decree he issued was to honor the Lord of All Stars, the Emperor of Stars, as the only god of the Nanyue Kingdom.

From then on, all the descendants of Nanyue only respected this one god and recognized this one god.

As soon as the decree was issued, the people were ecstatic. Only the people of Nanyue were so happy, having the protection of gods. They could even be so arrogant as to respect only her as a god.

Some people discussed: "Wasn't he originally Little Prince Xingchen? How did he become the Emperor?"

"Is there any need to think about it? It must be that the late emperor didn't even understand his identity, so he was not favored by heaven and died early."

Someone covered his mouth and said, "You don't want to live anymore. Just keep criticizing me. It's better if everyone knows it in their hearts."

A little girl's soft voice came: "Father, will our lives become more difficult with the new emperor taking the throne?"

"No, our new emperor is appointed by heaven, we will have a good life!" He answered with tears in his eyes, and he was also answering himself.

The person on the dragon throne listened to the reports from his ministers below.

"Your Majesty, after the decree was issued, the people were very excited and the response was very good."

Nan Wanxing moved his fingers and the eunuch Wang beside him began to read the imperial edict.

"As dynasties change, things are renewed. The old laws are no longer applicable today. I will follow the laws of development and reform and innovate."

"The whole country will be exempted from taxes for three years."

"Establish a school, reintegrate the six arts for gentlemen and the eight elegances for women. Regardless of gender, anyone over the age of six must go to school, and the expenses will be paid by the court. After the age of sixteen, they can choose to continue their studies or take other paths according to their personal wishes."

"We will recruit talented people for any position, and we will conduct a nationwide selection. No restrictions will be imposed on men or women, or family backgrounds. Once recruited, they can all serve as officials in the court."

When the ministers heard the contents of the imperial edict, they were horrified. This was truly a...thrilling reform.

But the final result was indeed beneficial to Nanyue. The satisfied faces of the ministers showed admiring looks. It was our luck to have her in Nanyue!

All officials bowed and said, "We will obey your majesty's order."

The second decree quickly spread throughout the country. After seeing its contents, some men immediately ran home to tell their wives the news.

For a moment, both men and women cried for joy.

Women could also enter officialdom, children had a brighter future, and taxes were temporarily exempted. The dawn of good days finally came.

Rich or poor, they now have more choices.
