Chapter 847 – Coronation Ceremony (Part 3)

In the main hall, Ouyang Shuo started to announce the titles given out.

“Awarding Shi Wanshui the title of Zongyong Marquis, 3rd class Marquis, Baiqi as Wu An Marquis, 3rd class Marquis, Fan Zhongyan as Chuxiang Marquis, 3rd class Marquis, and Du Ruhui as Caixiang Marquis, 3rd class Marquis!”

The four of them stepped out and bowed, “Thank you king, for your good grace, Qianshui Qianshui Qian Qianshui!” Amongst which, Shi Wanshui was the most emotional as he did not expect the king to actually pay so much attention to brotherhood.

Shi Wanshui was the earliest general to follow Ouyang Shuo, and he had followed the Great Xia Dynasty throughout its growth. He was the first big general in the territory; he worked incredibly hard for the territory, so he was the first to be given the title of marquis.

Baiqi was the person who truly changed the army and let it rise up. He was also the person who led Shanhai City’s expansion and was commander to their many key victories – he was the undefeated war god of the Great Xia Dynasty, so he was the second person to be given the title of marquis.

Fan Zhongyan was one of the earliest historical generals that appeared in the territory and participated in the early political structure and running of Shanhai City. He had many contributions, so he was the third to get a title.

Du Ruhui took charge of military affairs and was the core person who perfected the military system of the city. Although his performances were not eye catching, he was actually a true hero behind the scenes, so he was the fourth to be given a title.

Out of the NPCs, only these four were given the title of marquis. The remaining generals and officials were all given titles of earl, count, or baron based on their level of contributions.

After the ascension to the throne, Ouyang Shuo would use the imperial decrees to give out their ranks and titles and similarly did not read them out one by one.

Apart from giving title to the NPCs, there was also another group of people waiting to get their titles. They were the Lords who had willingly merged into the Great Xia Dynasty.

Giving the NPCs a title was just a sort of honor, and they were not given land or extra salary. However, it was different for the players as Ouyang Shuo had granted them relevant lands and also a sizeable sum.

He did this to help them out in the post-game achievement value calculations.

Ouyang Shuo said slowly, “Awarding Bai Hua the title of Consonance Marquis 3rd class marquis; awarding Mulan Yue the title of Mulan Marquis, 3rd class marquis; awarding Sun Xiaoyue the title of Yashan Marquis, 1st class Earl!”

Toward Sun Xiaoyue, this lady who he had some relationship with in real life, Ouyang Shuo really treated her well. Although she was not a Lord, she was also given the title of 1st class Earl, and her position was only lower than that of Mulan Yue and Bai Hua.

Of course, as the top architect pf the dynasty and for participating in the design of Yashan City, Shanhai City, and the palace design, she was also the guild leader of Fallen Moon Guild and deserved the reward.

The three of them stepped out, and the expressions on each of their faces were different as they bowed, “Thank you king for your good grace, Qianshui Qianshui Qian Qianshui!”

The remaining player titles would be given out through imperial decrees. The principle that Ouyang Shuo insisted on was to try his best to not lower the title that the Lord was given compared to their previous one.

At this point, the rank and title awarding ceremonies had ended.

“The dynasty has been established, and I have ascended to the throne. You have all worked hard.” Ouyang Shuo said as he looked towards the ritualist, “I will name the Nanjiang Governor-General Lady as Queen, giving her the rank of 2nd class marquis, Ying Yuechang Infanta as Ying Yuechang Princess, awarded the rank of 3rd class marquis, Qing Yangchang Infanta as Qing Yangchang Princess, awarded the rank of 1st class earl, and Xue Yuechang Infanta as Xue Yuechang Princess, awarded rank of 2nd class marquis. They will all be awarded with treasures based on their title.”

Cui Yingyu, Qing’er, and Bing’er; these three princesses were all treated differently based on closeness. Considering the worries of the officials, Ouyang Shuo did not treat them equally.

Out of the three of them, Bing’er received the highest rank.

At this point, the new dynasty was officially established and the ascension was officially completed.

“Now that we have completed the rituals, we will begin the military parade. I still need to meet the queen, meeting adjourned.”

He boarded the palanquin once more and entered the palace.

The heavens were shining down on him as the sun was bright. There were no clouds for tens of thousands of miles, the sky was azure, and the sun hung high up in the sky, bathing the palace light.

Within the Xiangyun Palace.

Song Jia had already changed into her queen attire.

By her side were Cui Yingyu, Qing’er. and Bing’er; these three sisters were all dressed up in their princess dresses.

There were two more little sisters in the hall; they were Nuwa and Huo Chengjun.

During this ascension ceremony, apart from Gu Xiuwen and a few other officials, many of the other Governors had all rushed over to witness this remarkable moment.

On the other hand, the military generals needed to guard the land, so only half of them came back.

Huo Chengjun and Nuwa were the same; they had begged their dads to bring them here. The three little ladies that were all around the same age stood together; they looked really adorable and cute.

Seeing Ouyang Shuo, Zisu the newly appointed head of the court ladies led the court ladies and maidservants to bow, “Greetings to the king, Qianshui Qianshui Qian Qianshui!”

When Nuwa and Huo Chengjun saw him, they shouted in unison, “Brother King!”

Their voices were crisp and pleasing to the ear.

Song Jia also led the three sisters to greet him, “King(Brother King)!”

Seeing Bing’er learning from her two sisters, Ouyang Shuo gave out a bright smile. The promise that he had given his sister was finally fulfilled today.

Looking at the young lady in front of him, Ouyang Shuo felt that everything was worth it.

“Let’s go, follow me to view the parade.”

Ouyang Shuo did not want the officials and generals to wait for too long, so he only spent a short while in the palace before leaving once more.

On the reviewing stand in front of the Great Xia Palace, the many civil servants and generals were already in place. Apart from that, there were the VIPs who were not able to attend the ascension ceremony and had been waiting on the reviewing stand instead.

When Ouyang Shuo got off the palanquin, a sea of cheers awaited him.

“Qianshui Qianshui Qian Qianshui!”

Feng Qiuhuang, Wufu, and Zhan Lang all had envious expressions on their faces. To the Lords in the wilderness, this was the greatest honor.

They were even thinking about the day when they could ascend to the throne.

Ouyang Shuo, Song Jia, and the others all sat in the central region of the stand. Du Ruhui, who was in charge of managing the military parade, stood up and said loudly, “Military parade begin!”

The moment he finished his words, the gongs sounded, playing out a military tune.

Along with the rhythmic military band, stepping with the tempo, group after group of soldiers swarmed in. The first was the Guards Legion Corps Iron Armored Beast Cavalry Regiment personally led by Huo Qubing.

Following which was the Er’Lai led Heavy Armored Mountain Barbarian Infantry Regiment, Baiqi’s Iron Eagle Swordsmen, Sun Bin’s Li Race mountain force, and Han Xin’s Mingguang Armor Heavy Armored Cavalry.

They were all the symbols of each legion corps, which fed the eyes of all the VIPs as they exclaimed in awe.

When the war elephants entered the reviewing stage, it caused much shock. Closely behind were the P1 Type Cannons that astonished everyone.

Further behind were the five navy squadrons that mainly consisted of riflemen, along with the specialties of each squadron. Especially when one saw the Mediterranean Squadron Fleet Admiral Alvaro, many Lords had a new understanding of the ability of Shanhai City.

The last to appear was the alliance formation of Feng Qiuhuang, Wufu, and Gong Chengshi’s forces; they had all brought their strongest troops.   Updated by novelfull.Com

Feng Qiuhuang brought the Iron Futu Cavalry Regiment, Wufu brought the Mongol Cavalry Regiment, and Gong Chengshi brought a weirdly dressed Light Armored Cavalry Regiment, which was a special type of troops from Jiangchuan.

When the strong troops were revealed one by one, the eyes of the VIPs were opened, and they were stunned by the strength of the Great Xia Dynasty army.

When the Flying Squad flew passed the skies and tossed down colored banners, the military parade that lasted for close to an hour and a half finally came to an end.

Facing such an army, filled with land, air, and sea troops, the other Lords did not have a single thread of confidence to face them.

It was noon when the parade ended.

Ouyang Shuo personally held a feast to thank the civil servants, generals, and VIPs. The moment the feast ended, the VIPs all left one by one.

This ascension ceremony probably left a huge impression on all their hearts.

Before Kalia left, she sent an invitation to Ouyang Shuo to ask him to make a trip to Atlantis to discuss how to deal with the Mediterranean problem.

Ouyang Shuo smiled in reply as he also had such intentions.

When Nuwa left, she was unwilling.

Only after Ouyang Shuo promised to take time to see her at her tribe did she break out in a smile. Ouyang Shuo also hoped that there would be a chance for him to build a layer of friendship with the Fire Emperor Tribe and the Yellow Emperor Tribe.

As the guests left one by one, Shanhai City finally regained its peace and quiet. Of course, the calm was only relative. During the night, there would be many more festivities in the city.

Many counties and prefectures would hold celebratory ceremonies to rejoice in the occasion.

As the festivities faded away, Ouyang Shuo was still waiting to receive his reward.

Gaia waited for the entire ceremony to end before sending out the notifications instead of disrupting the ceremony.

At 2 PM, the System Notification sounded.

“System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for successfully establishing the Great Xia Dynasty, reign title Shenwu, becoming the first king in China. Awarded 100 thousand merit points, 200 thousand reputation points, five million gold, and one special reward!”

The China region players had expected to receive such a notification. Currently, they were curious about what kind of special reward Gaia would grant him.

After all, compared to upgrading to a capital city, establishing a country was a bigger achievement and was incomparable in terms of merit points, reputation points, or gold.

Even so, the five million gold was something that stunned everyone. To 99% of the players, this sum was one that they would never be able to obtain even if they tried.
