Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

"Grandpa, uncle, what should we do now?" Nan Chufeng saw his grandfather standing there in deep thought and asked quickly.

"Don't be impatient, let me think about it!" said General Lou.

"Father, could it be that Nan Chuye sent people to rescue us?" General Lou also asked his father.

“No matter whether Nan Chuye sent someone to do it or not, the most important thing now is your highness’ ascension to the throne tomorrow. As long as your highness becomes the emperor of Nanxiang Kingdom, it would be fine if Nan Chuye and those old ministers behave themselves. If they don’t behave themselves, they will be traitors, and your highness can just give the order to kill them!” said Old Man Lou.

He did not tell the two that he could not find the military talisman. It would be useless to tell them, and it would make Nan Chufeng feel uneasy. Maybe he would be able to find the military talisman when he returned.

"Okay, I will follow my grandfather's arrangements in everything!" said Nan Chufeng.

Old General Lou and General Lou looked at Nan Chufeng and nodded with satisfaction. What their Lou family wanted was not just Nan Chufeng's ascension to the throne this time, but to turn Nanxiang Kingdom from the Nan family to the Lou family.

Although their Lou family is extremely powerful in Nanxiang State and has always been second to none, they have had enough of the life of being second to none, and now they just want to be the first.

As for his daughter, Queen Lou, when their Lou family conquered the world in the future, although this daughter could no longer be the queen mother, his Lou family could continue to support this daughter with fine clothes and delicious food, and her life in this life would be no worse than that of a queen mother.

Nan Chufeng naturally didn't know what his great-grandfather and uncle were planning. Now, in his heart, his great-grandfather's family was his biggest support for ascending the throne.

General Lou ordered that patrols in Xiangping City be stepped up and more soldiers be sent to protect the palace. More soldiers were also sent to the palace, and archers were hidden in the dark.

Tomorrow is the day when Nan Chufeng ascends the throne. It would be best if Nan Chuye does not show up. If anyone dares to show up, he will be gone without return.

Nan Chuye felt more at ease when he saw that his grandfather and uncle had arranged all this. As long as he could successfully ascend the throne tomorrow and be the most powerful person in the world, the throne would be his. No matter how much trouble Nan Chuye caused, he could justifiably kill him as a traitor.

What they didn't know was that Su Luoxue's thirty pistol team members had already arrived outside Xiangping City and were now lying in ambush ten miles away from the city gate, waiting for Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue to pick them up into the city after dark.

……

The day when Nan Chufeng ascends the throne has finally arrived!

Even before daybreak, the palace was already bustling with activity. The palace servants hurried around, busy with the decoration of various places.

The guards were in high spirits and on high alert, maintaining order and security in the palace.

The civil and military officials did not dare to delay and arrived outside the palace gate early to wait.

They were dressed in gorgeous official uniforms, with solemn expressions, quietly waiting for the time to come.

Some of them support Nan Chufeng, some are neutral, and some dare not take sides and just want to protect themselves.

These people only hoped that the palace gates would open quickly so that they could enter the palace as soon as possible to participate in the new emperor's sacrificial ceremony and pay congratulations to the new emperor. Anyway, no matter whether they supported him or not, from today on, Nan Chufeng would be the new emperor of Nanxiang Kingdom.

Just after the hour of Mao, with the sound of a dull drum, the palace gate slowly opened. Led by the palace servants, the ministers filed in and headed straight for the grand sacrificial square in the palace that was built specifically for sacrifice.

After entering the square, the civil and military officials stood on the left and right sides according to their official positions. They were arranged in neat rows, like a well-trained army, showing a solemn atmosphere.

And General Lou Lao and General Lou stood at the head of the military commanders.

On the altar in the center of the square, a huge brazier was burning with a raging fire, illuminating the entire square.

Rich offerings for sacrifice have been placed on the altar: huge bull and sheep heads, as well as a variety of exquisite pastries and fruits, the dazzling array of which is dazzling.

Right in front of the altar stands a tall incense and candle cauldron.

Inside the cauldron was burning an unusually thick incense stick, more than two people tall and as thick as a thigh. The incense stick exuded a rich aroma that filled the air, giving people a sacred and solemn feeling.

On both sides of the big incense stick, two large bright red incense sticks are inserted symmetrically, which contrast with the big incense stick and appear particularly eye-catching.

The director of the Imperial Observatory was standing on the left side of the altar, with his waist slightly bent and his head nodded. His expression was serious and solemn.

The entire square was silent. Everyone stood there quietly, not daring to make a sound.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, at the hour of noon, a clear, sharp voice like a drake came from the entrance of the square: "The new emperor has arrived——"

This shout was like a thunder, breaking the silence at the scene.

Everyone bent down and lowered their heads in unison, and no one dared to say a word.

However, only the official from the Imperial Observatory turned around without hesitation, faced the direction where Nan Chufeng was about to come, knelt on his knees, and prostrated himself on the ground, greeting the arrival of the new emperor with the most pious attitude.

At this time, Nan Chufeng, wearing a gorgeous dragon robe, walked towards the altar with steady steps.

"Welcome the new emperor!" The Imperial Observatory prostrated and kowtowed.

Then he stood up, reached out to pick up the three incense sticks on the table, lit them close to the candle, and then respectfully handed the three incense sticks to Nan Chufeng.

Nan Chufeng took the incense, and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau took a step back and shouted loudly in front of the altar: "Kneel—"

Nan Chufeng held the incense high in his hand and knelt down respectfully. All the ministers behind him knelt down in unison with a plop.

"Respect the heavens! Bow down!"

Nan Chufeng raised the incense above his head, faced the front of the altar, and bowed deeply.

"Second respect! Bow down!"

"Three respects to our ancestors! Bow down!"

After completing the three tributes, Nan Chufeng stood up and handed the incense in his hand to the Imperial Observatory, who took it respectfully and then inserted it into the sacrificial tripod.

"The ceremony is over!" the Imperial Observatory shouted loudly. Then all the ministers stood up.

Next, Nan Chufeng was going to sit on the dragon throne in the imperial palace to accept congratulations from all officials.

Nan Chufeng walked in front, followed by a group of ministers, and they walked towards the imperial palace together.

The dragon throne that he had been longing for was right in front of him. Every time Nan Chufeng climbed a step, his heart couldn't help but beat wildly with excitement. He tried hard to suppress his heart that was about to jump out of his chest. Stay calm, stay calm. He kept cheering himself up in his heart.

He was about to sit on the dragon throne and become the new emperor of Nanxiang Kingdom.

Just when he was four or five steps away from the dragon throne, a voice suddenly exploded in the hall: "Nan Chufeng, you - don't - deserve it!"
