Conferred Gods: Master Tongtian is my master

Three days later, the black bird cried sadly,

Emperor Yi, who had been on the throne for twenty-six years, died in Shouhuang Palace.

The whole country was in grief, and eight hundred princes rushed to Chaoge to pay tribute to the deceased king and to congratulate the new emperor on his ascension to the throne.

A few days passed in a flash, and eight hundred princes gathered in Chaoge.

After Emperor Yi's funeral ceremony, Emperor Xin's coronation ceremony was held.

Longde Hall

The new King of Shang, Prince Shou, also known as Emperor Xin, is the contemporary emperor of mankind. He is blessed with the good fortune of the human race and is comparable to a saint.

Wearing a dragon robe, with a dignified face and extraordinary temperament, he sat upright on the dragon throne and accepted the audience with the princes.

On both sides of the hall stood civil and military officials. Heading the left side was Grand Tutor Wen Zhong, followed by the king's uncle Bigan, the king's uncle Jizi, and so on.

Heading on the right was Prime Minister Shang Rong, followed by Grand Tutor Xin Jia, Fei Zhong, You Hun and so on.

Emperor Xin signaled the eunuch beside him to summon the princes to an audience. The eunuch took the order, stepped forward, and said in a sharp voice:

"The king has issued an order! Announce that eight hundred princes come to the king's presence!"

The next eunuch continued:

"The king has issued an order! Announce that eight hundred princes come to the king's presence!"

Until the decree reached the ears of the eight hundred princes waiting outside the hall.

The princes received the order and walked into the hall with respectful expressions.

According to the strength ranking of the vassal states, the four major vassal states are the first to bear the brunt.

Jiang Huanchu, the Marquis of Dongbo, was of tall stature, bronze complexion, distinct and deep facial features, and dressed in black. He had the majesty of a king, yet was still elegant and refined.

Ji Chang, the King of Xibo, was thin, with gray hair, obvious wrinkles on his face, dark yellow skin, and a dark red brocade robe. Between his brows, there was deep wisdom and calmness.

Nanbohou E Chongyu had a slightly weathered face and his skin was slightly tanned by the sun, revealing a kind of tenacity and fortitude.

Beibohou Chonghouhu seemed to have experienced countless storms. His face was serious and his shoulders were broad and solid, as if he could carry all the burdens of life.

After all the princes found their positions, they stood in the hall, knelt down and bowed to Emperor Xin, saying respectfully:

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Congratulations to Your Majesty on ascending the throne!"

Emperor Xin looked at the eight hundred princes kneeling below, and his heart was surging with excitement. This was the imperial power and wealth that everyone wanted to possess.

"Everyone is safe!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone stood up and stood solemnly in the hall.

Emperor Xin sat upright on the dragon throne, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He thought, the power should be transferred, and important officials should be conferred titles as a token of favor.

So, he said solemnly:

"Today is the day I ascend the throne. I will grant amnesty to the whole nation. The whole country rejoices. Where is the Grand Master?"

When Wen Zhong heard him being called, he walked to the center of the hall, bowed, and said:

"Chen is here!"

"My father has made it clear that he will give the Grand Master the Royal Whip. If he does not bow to you, I will do the same. I will grant the Grand Master the power to execute first and report later, and confer the title of Imperial Master of the Great Shang Dynasty so that we can share the fate of the Great Shang Dynasty!"

After Emperor Xin finished speaking, Wen Zhong felt that his destiny was more deeply connected with the Shang Dynasty.

Originally, when Wen Zhong refined the golden cloud of merit, his cultivation had reached the early stage of Golden Immortal, and now his cultivation is approaching the middle stage of Golden Immortal.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When everyone saw this scene, they stared at Wen Zhong with envy and jealousy, wishing they could replace him.

However, this is just a thought in my mind. After all, Wen Zhong's contribution to the Shang Dynasty was too great.

Not to mention the conquests for the Shang Dynasty, the invention of papermaking alone made a great contribution to mankind.

Moreover, Wen Zhong is now the only minister entrusted with the care of the young king, the king’s mentor, and a veteran of three dynasties.

After conferring the title and reward on Wen Zhong, Emperor Xin said to his uncle Bigan:

"Uncle Wang, Bigan, is an important official of the Shang Dynasty. He has served the country and the people with all his heart and soul. He has been promoted to the rank of Vice Prime Minister. He will not bow to you when he sees you!"

Upon hearing this, Bigan stepped forward to accept the decree and express his gratitude.

When everyone saw this scene, they felt envious and jealous, but they were only jealous for a moment.

After all, the king's uncle Bigan has always been known for his virtue, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. He is also the king's uncle and a member of the royal family.

"Prime Minister Shang Rong has performed his duties conscientiously and loyally, and has assisted two generations of kings with due diligence and responsibility. He has made great contributions to the Shang Dynasty and is specially conferred the title of Earl of Loyalty and Righteousness."

Shang Rong was extremely excited after hearing what Emperor Xin said. He did not expect that he would be conferred the title of Earl. This was the supreme honor!

Shang Rong hurried forward, accepted the decree and expressed his gratitude, with tears and snot running down his face. He looked at Emperor Xin sitting on the dragon throne and wished he could die for him.

At this moment, Shang Rong silently thought to himself that he must assist the king wholeheartedly and defend Cheng Tang's kingdom.

Everyone was numb after seeing this scene!

Emperor Xin successively rewarded a large number of court officials and gained their loyalty.

Emperor Xin looked at the eight hundred princes under his highness and gave them rewards one after another, especially to the four major princes, to whom he gave special rewards.

Then, the coronation ceremony began. The young eunuch read a long congratulatory speech, which made the ministers drowsy.

Emperor Xin followed the instructions, burned incense, prayed, and knelt three times and kowtowed nine times.

After a long time, when a series of processes were completed, Emperor Xin invited all his ministers to a banquet, where they drank and talked happily. At this time, there was no distinction between the emperor and his subjects, and everyone was in great joy.

After three rounds of wine, the ministers dispersed, and today's coronation ceremony ended successfully!

From then on, Emperor Xin began his reign!

……

Guanjiangkou

A white light flashed by, and when a figure appeared, it was Jade Ding Zhenren who came from Kunlun Mountain.

Following the guidance of Yuanshi Tianzun, Jade Ding Zhenren came to the place where the destined disciples grew up.

In order to avoid causing a disturbance, Yu Ding walked to a house's door, knocked on it, and wanted to ask about Yang Jian's address.

After a while, an old man walked out from inside. This man was none other than Grandpa Niu who led Luo Shu.

Grandpa Niu looked at the immortal Jade Ding Zhenren in front of him and asked:

"Master, what is the matter with you knocking on the door?"

Jade Ding Zhenren looked calm and said calmly:

"I would like to inquire about Yang Jian's address. Please let me know!"

When Grandpa Niu heard that they were looking for Yang Jian, he knew that Yang Jian had already been accepted as a disciple by an immortal and followed the immortal to practice.

So, Grandpa Niu answered truthfully:

"Yang Jian is no longer here. He was taken away by an immortal as his disciple."

Upon hearing this, Jade Ding Zhenren was confused and asked again uncertainly,

"What did you say! Yang Jian became your disciple?"

Grandpa Niu looked at Jade Ding Zhenren, whose ears were not working well, and said again:

"Yang Jian has already worshipped an immortal as his master and followed him to practice cultivation. He is no longer here."

My destined companion was taken away early, who can protect me from this disaster?

Jade Ding Zhenren was really going to be angry to death. Who on earth was so bold as to take Yang Jian away in front of him?

Then, Jade Ding Zhenren asked:

"Do you know who accepted Yang Jian as his disciple?"

Grandpa Niu looked at the Taoist priest in front of him who was furious, and for a moment he stopped telling the truth and said:

"How can a mere mortal like me know about the affairs of the immortals? I only know that he was a handsome young man, and I don't know the rest."

Upon hearing this, Jade Ding Zhenren was helpless. How could he determine who the other person was with such little information? After all, the appearance of a cultivator could change at will.

Jade Ding Master pondered for a while and murmured to himself:

"It seems that we should go back to Kunlun Mountain first and ask Master who accepted Yang Jian as his disciple."

After saying this, Jade Ding Zhenren stopped pacing and directly circulated his spiritual power, disappearing on the spot.

Seeing this, Grandpa Niu sighed:

"Erlang really has a connection with the immortals. One by one, they all come to him!"

After saying this, Grandpa Niu returned to the house to rest.
