Ling Zhou's letter made Chu Xingchen smile rarely.
Beidi and Xirong lost, and Qi also did not fare well. Da Chu had raised its national prestige, and the world knew the power of Da Chu's new queen. She was really difficult to deal with.
But no matter how unwilling or hateful you are, facing the great Chu, you can only bow your head first.
Good news came one after another. After the imperial court calmed down, it rescheduled the date of the Queen's coronation. In order to celebrate the return of the soldiers and come to receive awards, and also to wait for the Qi State and the Wu State of Beidi Xirong to come to watch the ceremony, the date of the Queen's coronation was specially set.
Set for the end of February.
The invitation sent by Dachu had a strong tone, which made people feel aggrieved, but could they not go? No.
Everyone dared to be angry but dared not speak out. After being defeated, they could only hold their noses and send envoys to congratulate him, and they also had to send generous gifts. The new emperor of Chu wanted to congratulate him in a different way.
As ambassadors from various countries came, their precious gifts also arrived.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the day of the coronation ceremony.
The special training team led by Ling Zhou, the Crown Prince of Beijiang Zhenbei, rushed back the day before, and General Qin's troops finally came back before the enthronement ceremony.
February 28th is covered with snow, but it is rare to be cloudless. This is very rare. The weather this year is extremely cold. It snowed even at the end of February. The weather is very cold, but the hearts of the people are warm.
Everyone said that the sun celebrated the Queen's coronation.
The sun rises, and the golden sunlight casts a layer of golden light on the Jiuzhongtai Temple of Heaven and Earth.
The Temple of Heaven and Earth is divided into three floors. On the top floor are Shen Shoufu, Old General Qin, Prince Zhenbei and other important ministers. Lingzhou is also there.
On the second level are various civil and military officials such as ministers of various ministries.
On the third floor, envoys from various countries who came to congratulate them were arranged. They were placed on the bottom floor. In the past, they would have made trouble or left, but this time no matter how dissatisfied they were, they did not dare to say anything.
A carpet was laid in the middle of the Temple of Heaven and Earth, with imperial guards arrayed on both sides and flags flapping.
Following the shout of "The auspicious time has come, welcome your Majesty!", Chu Xingchen, wearing a dragon robe, slowly walked out on the other side of the carpet.
Her black hair was carefully braided and tied up, revealing Chu Xingchen's flawless face, which was breathtakingly beautiful, but no one dared to look directly at her at this moment.
She looked so calm and ambitious, with her long and gorgeous yellow skirt swaying behind her, and the yellow dark lines appearing and disappearing in the sunlight. She walked forward step by step, and every step seemed to be stepping on everyone's footsteps.
Heart.
Wherever she went, everyone knelt down and shouted "Welcome Your Majesty!" The sound was deafening, one after another, and the momentum soared into the sky.
This scene is shocking and awe-inspiring.
And this was just the beginning. With these respectful greetings to His Majesty, the people of Feng'an City spontaneously knelt down towards the location of the Temple of Heaven and Earth.
No one asked for it, it was spontaneous. Even if no one saw it, they still knelt down to congratulate.
Not only the Temple of Heaven and Earth, but the entire Feng'an City fell into solemn silence.
The envoys were so shocked that they did not dare to move at all. When Chu Xingchen arrived, he automatically followed and saluted.
Chu Xingchen reached the top and turned around, gently raising his hand, "Life."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone bowed again before slowly standing up.
Ling Zhou, Shen Cangzhu, Xiao Wang, and the man behind General Qin among the crowd restrained themselves and raised their eyes to look at the people in front of them.
She is so radiant that heaven and earth, mountains and rivers will fall for her.
Their hearts were beating fast, they couldn't bear to look away, their hands were clenched into fists, and their eyes were filled with tears of excitement.
This is their Queen, their Majesty.
In full view of everyone, Chu Xingchen completed the heaven-sacrifice ceremony and officially ascended the throne as emperor.
If she had an imperial husband, he should have been qualified to stand by her side in the future, but unfortunately he did not.
Shen Cangzhu, Xiao Wang, Lingzhou and the others looked at her with regret in their eyes. They all wanted to stand next to her.
The enthronement was completed, but the grand ceremony was still going on. First of all, the promised rewards were given to the soldiers who had worked so hard to come here.
There is no doubt about the contribution of the Zhenbei Wang Ling family, but Lingzhou's eldest brother, the Crown Prince, said that this victory was her contribution. After all, she invented the three-piece suit.
In this battle, a young general emerged from Northern Xinjiang. He was a talented general and good at planning. King Zhenbei valued him very much and specially allowed him to enter Feng'an City to give him a good future.
But this young man was not warm to Chu Xingchen and acted coldly. When Chu Xingchen heard his name, he remembered his identity as one of Chen Ruoshui's harem, the talented young general.
According to the novel, he was somewhat capable and invincible. Unfortunately, seeing him like this was because she didn't like him, so Chu Xingchen rewarded him as usual and didn't say anything in particular.
The one who stole the show was Ling Zhou. Ling Zhou was rewarded openly and honestly by Chu Xingchen, and it didn't change because he was from the harem.
The rewards were generous, and Lingzhou was named a brave general, the fourth rank.
Lingzhou is called the Little General in Northern Xinjiang because he is the youngest son of the King of Zhenbei and because he is brave and good at fighting. But after all, he is still young. This is just a title, and his real position is naturally not this.
He didn't care at first, since he could slowly rise through the ranks through military service.
But after entering the palace, his previous status and military achievements gradually seemed to be invalidated.
No one expected that Ling Zhou would return in such a way. The Queen, just like what she said when she was still a concubine, would reuse him regardless of his birth status. Before, he reused Xiao Wang and Shen Cangzhu, but now she also reused Ling Zhou.
Xiao Wang and Shen Cangzhu did not reward him directly because it was difficult to grant him a title, but Lingzhou was different. He directly followed the convention and awarded him a reward based on his previous status based on his merits and achievements.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lingzhou was in high spirits, performing a military salute, dazzling in the sun.
The atmosphere was very high until the reward was given to General Qin.
It goes without saying that General Qin was awarded a reward, but when he saw that Old General Qin had made countless meritorious deeds and could be said to have played a key role in the victory, that is, the legendary rabbit-killing general, Chu Xingchen's eyes turned red, and for the first time Lost control.
Because that was Zhou Buyan.
The legendary rabbit killer is Zhou Buyan.
Before, Zhou Buyan cleverly hid behind General Qin, unobtrusively, and no one noticed him. It was not until he came out of the queue to kneel down to express his gratitude that anyone saw him.
No one expected Zhou Buyan to return in this capacity.
Although he wears a mask on his face, no matter it is the mask or the exposed mouth and chin, anyone who is familiar with him can recognize that it is Zhou Buyan.
Chu Xingchen was even more convinced because the rabbit mask on his face was the one she had given to Zhou Buyan on purpose before.
Zhou Buyan had previously thought of her as a little rabbit, and even said the famous saying, "How can you eat a rabbit that is so cute?" Later, he caught fireflies to make her happy, and she wanted to reciprocate, so she let go of the rabbit mask.
He wore the cute bunny mask with its ears upright on the battlefield.
Chu Xingchen looked at Zhou Buyan with tears in her eyes and held back the tears. She knew that Zhou Buyan was still alive and he was still alive.
She just didn't expect that he would appear in front of her with such a new identity.
In the past two months or nearly three months, she had been too busy to take care of much. She only had time to think of him when she was free occasionally, or when she dreamed about him at midnight.
It had been so long and he still hadn't come back. She thought he really didn't want to come back.
She didn't expect that he gave her such a big surprise.
It turns out that he went to the army, and it turns out that he killed the King of Hell.
