Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Chen Qingzhu didn't pay much attention to Pei Xiao.

Starting from the next day, she went to Shengdu City every day to kill two Hu princes, and otherwise stayed in the king's tent to practice.

The Du'e Army was also resting on the spot, waiting leisurely for the Hu tribe's reply.

In contrast to their calmness, the Hu princes lived in endless fear.

After Chen Qingzhu made the statement, the brothers, uncles, nephews and nieces of the Hu Khan all became frightened birds.

Those who were afraid of death immediately went to beg the Khan to agree to the conditions of the God of Du'e.

After being rejected, he could only return to his own residence and have someone protect him tightly.

However, even so, people were still killed.

Those killed on the first day were the Khan's most respected uncle and his highly trusted son.

Both of them were the only ones who advocated war.

The God of Du'e broke directly into the two people's house, cut off their heads with a sword, and then, as if he was in an empty place, threw the two heads with terrified faces in front of the Khan of the Hu tribe.

All of this proved to the Hu nobles and Khan in Beijing that she could kill them all at any time.

The Hu Khan originally wanted to fight a desperate battle.

However, after the head was thrown into the palace the next day, he had to agree to all the conditions of the God of Du'e.

Before the agreed fourth day, on the morning of the third day, he sent the fourth prince to the Du'e military camp to deliver a letter of surrender.

It's not that he is afraid of death.

But if they do not agree to the conditions of Lord Du'e, they may rebel and overthrow his rule before Lord Du'e can even let the Du'e army attack the city.

Not long after, the war in Liaodong ended with the Hu people completely withdrawing from the Wei territory and paying tribute to the God Du'e.

When the news reached the capital, the government and the people were all in ecstasy.

Especially those scholars who care about the government and worry about the country and the people, all used endless praises to praise the God of Du'e.

"When the king's army conquers the Central Plains in the north, do not forget to inform your father during the family sacrifice."

It was originally thought that it would take the blood of several generations to snatch back the Liaodong prefectures from the Hu people.

Who could have thought that after the dynasty had a new master, Lord Du'e, all the lost territories were recovered in just over a month.

The Hu tribe, which had threatened the Wei Dynasty for more than three dynasties, was terrified and became its vassal and paid tribute.

The Lord of Du'e is indeed an omnipotent deity! It is a blessing for the world that she is the ruler of the world!

Amidst the chorus of praises, time quickly arrived on April 21st.

This was the auspicious day chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory for the coronation ceremony.

The History of Xi states:

"In the 31st year of Yong'an, Emperor Taizu Chen Qingzhu destroyed Wei and beheaded the corrupt officials at the Meridian Gate.

On April 21, Taizu established the country and proclaimed himself emperor. The country was named "Xi", which means bright and prosperous. The reign was named "Shenqi", and the subjects respectfully called him "Your Majesty the Divine Emperor".

On April 21st, it was a beautiful spring day with bright sunshine and a clear sky without a single cloud.

After Chen Qingzhu went to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, he took the grand imperial chariot, escorted by flags flying, through the straight road and returned to the palace.

Along the way, countless people lined the streets to welcome them.

Wherever the chariot and procession passed, the people knelt down and kowtowed spontaneously:

"The Divine Emperor has an infinite life span and will enjoy eternal happiness!"

"Long live the Divine Emperor!"

The thunderous cheers, filled with ordinary people's gratitude, respect, and worship for the God Du'e, resounded throughout the capital.

Chen Qingzhu returned to the palace, wearing the emperor's crown and robes. Amidst the solemn ceremony and music, he walked steadily towards the dragon throne, lifted his wide sleeves, and sat down.

Civil and military officials entered the Danchi to pay homage to the new ruler of the dynasty, accompanied by the singing of ceremonial officials.

The grand coronation ceremony ended successfully in a peaceful and festive atmosphere.

After the coronation ceremony, Chen Qingzhu took out the imperial edict that had been prepared long ago to appoint the crown prince and handed it to the ceremonial officer.

Seeing her action, all the civil and military officials standing in the hall became solemn.

Everyone knows that according to the procedure, the next step is to announce the imperial edict to enthrone the queen and the crown prince.

It is impossible to have a queen at present, so there is no doubt that a crown prince must be appointed.

Prime Minister Yuan Songbo and others all cast expectant and delighted glances at Rong Niang.

Rong Niang, dressed in light yellow court dress, was bathed in the gazes of the crowd, and her heart could not help but be excited, but on the surface, she remained calm, with a gentle and decent smile on her face, and knelt down with the ministers to listen to the order.

The resounding voice of the ceremonial officer resounded throughout the hall:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

I have inherited the great tradition and ruled over all the land. I have thought about the importance of the country and the prosperity of the nation. Now I have chosen a virtuous person to be the crown prince. My beloved daughter, Chen Rong, is intelligent, kind, and considerate of the people. I have specially appointed her as the crown prince and placed her in the East Palace to be the hope of the world and to inherit the lineage of the ancestral temple.

All government departments should do their utmost to assist the Crown Prince in achieving his great cause and promoting the long-term prosperity of the country. I decree this!"[1]

Rong Niang took the imperial edict and the prince's seal and looked at the ministers solemnly.

Even if some people still had other thoughts, they had to kneel down respectfully and pay homage like everyone else.

After the court was dismissed, the imperial edict to appoint the crown prince would naturally be "announced to the whole country and let everyone know."

The content of the imperial edict was first posted in the imperial city, and someone immediately reported the news to Pei Xuan.

([1] The content of the imperial edict was slightly modified by Baidu and can be regarded as a quotation.)

(In addition, the author repeatedly considered between the term Crown Prince and Crown Princess, and finally chose Crown Prince. I wonder if you will find it awkward.

The reason I wrote this is that I feel that for a long time, the crown prince has become the orthodox title of the royal heir, and "Zi" is not exclusive to men. We cannot let Rong Niang settle for the special title of "Crown Princess" just because of her gender. This is just as strange as the crown prince in the female-dominated literature is called "Crown Princess", and the empress appoints a male crown prince and calls him "Crown Man".)
