Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, on the red steps, there was a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

The vermilion palace walls and golden glazed tiles sparkle in the sunlight, highlighting the majesty and solemnity of the hall.

There was heavy snow outside the hall, and the hall was solemn and dignified.

Liang Chongyue was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, a crown on his head, and his hairpins trembled as he slowly climbed the stairs.

With an upright posture and steady steps, every step is at a historical node.

The palace maids and eunuchs on both sides were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding feather fans and palace lanterns, lined up in an orderly manner, and bowed their heads to welcome him.

In the main hall, all the civil and military officials had already stood in line according to their ranks. They were dressed in court robes, holding tablets in their hands, and looked respectful.

When the Crown Princess stepped into the hall, everyone knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor". The sound echoed in the hall for a long time.

"The auspicious time has arrived! Now that the late emperor has passed away, the country cannot be without a ruler for a single day. The new emperor is the late emperor's legitimate heir, endowed with divine virtue, benevolent, filial, and wise. He now inherits the legacy laid by our ancestors and inherits the throne of the great dynasty.

By the will of Heaven, the new emperor proclaims: "I, with my humble self, have entrusted the people with this responsibility. I do so with the utmost caution, fearing I will not be able to shoulder the responsibility. From now on, I will diligently govern the country, revere Heaven and cherish the people, and practice benevolent governance to ensure peace throughout the land and enable the people to live and work in peace."

All my officials should work together to assist me and build the country. Anyone who harbors evil intentions and disrupts the government will be severely punished. This will be announced to the entire nation so that everyone will know.

Please let the new king ascend the throne!"

Ping'an, dressed in the eunuch chief's gorgeous clothes, stood where Eunuch Qi used to stand.

The accession edict was read out in a clear voice, and every word announced the accession of the new emperor to the throne and the beginning of a new era.

Qi Deyuan guarded the late emperor's body on the city wall that day and refused to let anyone touch it. In order to preserve his sincerity, he was sent to guard the imperial tomb.

Eunuch Li, the chief eunuch who had always been by Eunuch Qi's side, took over Eunuch Qi's previous duties and waited in the hall with the imperial seal in his hand.

As soon as Ping An finished reading the edict of succession, Eunuch Li stepped forward and presented the imperial seal to His Majesty.

Liang Chongyue, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, stood at the pinnacle of power in Daxia. He reached out to take the imperial seal, sat upright on the dragon throne, and glanced at the people in the palace. His eyes showed both the majesty of an emperor and concern for the people of the world.

"Long live your majesty!"

Everyone in the hall knelt down and bowed their heads to the first empress in ancient times who was sitting on the dragon throne.

At this moment, bells and drums rang, music sounded melodious, and incense curled up.

Liang Chongyue's ascension to the throne is not only a turning point in her hard work over the years, but also a new starting point for the fate of the entire dynasty. She carries the expectations of the people and the heavy responsibility of the country.

As dynasties changed, new people replaced old ones in the court, and many unfamiliar faces appeared.

Liang Chongyue was not as happy as she had imagined when she ascended the throne as the new emperor. She sat on the dragon throne where her scumbag father had sat before, and looked back at the place where she had stood before. It was now empty, and it was Minglang's future position as expected.

Only when she really sat in this position did she realize that no matter how well the thoughts of the people below her were concealed, they could still be seen at a glance.

No wonder there are few things in this world that can be hidden from a scumbag father.

"I ascend the throne today, which should be a day of celebration for all the world. However, I have already made a decision regarding my brothers' conspiracy to poison the late emperor. I would like to announce it to the world today to comfort my father's spirit in heaven."

As soon as Liang Chongyue said this, undercurrents surged in the court. The reason why the late emperor died that day was proved by the 100,000-strong army, but the one sitting on the dragon throne now was the winner. No matter how aggrieved someone was, they dared not say anything today.

"Anyone who poisoned the late emperor or attempted to murder him will have their yellow belt cut off, and their descendants will be stripped of their royal family status, demoted to commoners, and imprisoned in the Imperial Clan House for life, never to be released."

Liang Chongyue was not in a hurry to kill those idiots. The twists and turns behind these people had not been fully uncovered yet. Only by keeping them alive could those people continue to be obedient.

If you drive dogs into a dead end alley, they will definitely jump up and resist.

"When Your Majesty first ascended the throne, you cleaned up the court with swift and decisive measures, bringing treacherous officials to justice, much to the delight of the people. However, when dealing with the guilty ministers, you took into consideration their past ties and spared them from further punishment. This is truly a testament to your generosity and kindness. Such virtues are rarely matched by the wise rulers of ancient times."

The first to speak was Prime Minister Jiang, who had once wanted to retire and return to his hometown, but now had become a veteran of two dynasties who had served the emperor well.

When Prime Minister Jiang spoke, all the officials responded in unison, praising Your Majesty's kindness.

"In the past, when traitors plotted rebellion, according to the law, their entire clans would have been executed. However, Your Majesty, with compassion, punished only the ringleaders, while granting lenient sentences to the rest. Your Majesty's kindness, like the gentle spring breeze and gentle rain, nourishes all the people. It is truly a blessing for our dynasty and a blessing for all mankind."

"I have heard that the ancient sage kings were all based on benevolence. Your Majesty, having just taken the throne, has already implemented a benevolent policy. He has refrained from utter slaughter of sinners, and has combined kindness with authority. You are truly a model of a wise ruler. May Your Majesty live a long and prosperous life, and may your blessings befall the world."

These people all had rosy faces and spoke nicely, but they might not really mean it in their hearts. However, this was what Liang Chongyue wanted.

Flattery is false but pleasant to the ear, and these people can do nothing else.

Sitting at the top, Liang Chongyue's cold gaze was obscured by the drooping necklace, and no one below could see what she was thinking.

She could see clearly what they were thinking.

She had said long ago that the kingdom she had conquered with her own hands could not be taken over by others even if she didn't want it.
