The next day was the day to marry the empress. He was woken up by the maid early in the morning. After finishing his grooming and having breakfast, the empress dowager came to Qianyuan Palace for the first time.

Zhou An immediately got up and went out to greet her. Seeing the Empress Dowager coming in surrounded by a group of purple-clothed guards, she immediately bowed and shouted: "See the Empress Dowager."

"Well, today you need to go to Kaiyuanmen to meet the queen in person, but all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will be there, you have to pay attention to your words and deeds, and have the appearance of an emperor.

You know what to say and what not to say. I'm right behind you, if something unexpected happens, you don't need to respond, everything is with me. " said the Queen Mother.

"My son understands, and he will definitely not disappoint his mother." Zhou An's tone was firm, with a very obedient appearance, which made the queen mother very satisfied.

"This morning is your coming-of-age ceremony. The etiquette is cumbersome, eat more, and follow me to Qianyuan Hall later." The Queen Mother said, walked into the hall, and sat on it.

Zhou An followed, and sat beside him quietly eating breakfast, while the Queen Mother just took a few sips of tea.

When the time came, he brought Zhou An and a group of people to the main palace in a mighty manner.

Since the death of the first emperor, Zhou An has never been to the main palace area. This is the first time he has entered the Qianyuan Palace, and all civil and military officials have been waiting here early.

As soon as you step into the Qianyuan Hall, you will receive a sign-in reminder. After you choose to sign in, you will get a complete set of Qianyuan Dragon Armor.

This is the battle armor used by the founding emperor when he conquered the country. It was almost made of the best materials and craftsmen of the Qianyuan Empire, but unfortunately it was destroyed in an important battle, and it was difficult to recover afterwards.

After entering the court, it was the first time to sit on the throne of the dragon chair. Behind the throne was the queen mother's phoenix chair.

The ministers watched Zhou An go up, each with complicated eyes, different expressions, each with their own ulterior motives.

To be honest, Zhou An didn't know how to start with all the officials. He didn't remember such a thing. His own life experience couldn't bear the current situation. The best way is to keep silent. make arrangements.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother was the first to speak: "It's almost time, let's start."

Prime Minister Zuo saluted, personally presided over the emperor's coming-of-age ceremony, and under the guidance of the Minister of Rites, he took a car to the rooftop to hold the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky.

Zhou An didn't need to do anything, everything was handled by the people below. He just sat in the car and watched the ceremony.

After more than an hour of tedious procedures, it was the emperor's turn to go up to the rooftop. After he went up, he signed in and got the Qianyuan soldier talisman, a dragon-shaped metal talisman.

System introduction: Hundreds of dragon guards of the Imperial City can be summoned, each of whom has the acquired five-level realm, and there is a commander who has the acquired seven-level mirror realm, and can only be summoned once a day.

This thing is very useful, and I finally have soldiers on hand.

When he was secretly happy, Prime Minister Zuo asked someone to present a sacrificial vessel to heaven. Zhou An calmed down, took over the vessel and worshiped heaven, and then Prime Minister Zuo personally crowned him, put on the crown, and presented him with the Qianlong Sword representing the identity of the emperor. Yuan dragon robe.

In fact, these are imitations, just used to represent the status symbol of the emperor, the real Qianlong Sword and Qianyuan Dragon Armor have been destroyed.

This Qianyuan Dragon Robe was later improved according to the style of the Qianyuan Dragon Armor. It only has a similar appearance, but its functions are naturally very different, and the defense effect is far worse.

Moreover, the Qianyuan Dragon Robe is only made of precious materials, so it cannot be said to be defensive, and it is not suitable for fighting.

In Zhou An's words, it is a silver-like pewter spear head, which is not very useful, but the Qianlong Sword hanging on the waist is functional.

After Prime Minister Zuo announced the completion of the ceremony, the convoy returned and stopped at Kaiyuan Square, where the queen was already waiting at the gate.

When the emperor arrived at the red platform built in the middle of the square, the queen's phoenix chariot stopped outside the gate of Kaiyuan Gate. A red carpet was spread on the ground, sprinkled with pink petals, and there were two rows of court ladies kneeling on both sides.

The queen got off the phoenix chariot, wearing a golden silk red phoenix robe, holding the jade seal of the Qianyuan Empire in both hands, stepped onto the red carpet barefoot, and walked from Kaiyuan Gate to the middle platform.

Zhou An was shocked when he saw the queen. Although it was only three days since he crossed over, he still has more than 100 daughters, and all of them are beautiful, and Sai Naimu is rare in the world.

He felt that he should be immune to beauties, enough to treat them with a normal attitude, but when he saw Queen Shangguan Rong, his thoughts were instantly shattered.

The poems I read before popped up in my mind, I was born beautiful and hard to give up, once I was chosen by the king's side. Looking back at Bai Meisheng with a smile, Liugong Fendai has no color.

In the eyes of Zhou An, all the officials, and envoys from various countries, the queen strolled onto the stage, walked up to Zhou An, knelt down, raised her hands, and handed over the Imperial Seal to Zhou An.

Zhou An calmed down, took the jade seal, and handed it to the purple guard who was guarding the jade seal.

Then he helped the queen up, and the two looked at each other, which shocked Zhou An. He never thought that the Shangguan family would choose such a peerless woman as the queen. He was just a puppet of their family, so he couldn't figure out their intentions for a while.

Anyway, I'm sure, she can't be her own person, so she just restrained her mind after being amazed at the beginning.

After worshiping the ancestors together and announcing the name of the queen, the ceremony is considered complete, and all the officials and envoys from various countries enter the Jiaotai Hall to enjoy the banquet.

When everyone was seated, Prime Minister Jiang Xian spoke, and he was the first to stand up and shouted: "Your Majesty, I have a report on state affairs."

Sitting opposite him, Shangguan Yuchen, the right chancellor, scolded angrily: "Presumptuousness, today is the emperor's big day, the left side disregards the state system, and the guests take the lead, what's the manners."

"Since the emperor ascended the throne, I have never been in court. Except for the enthronement ceremony, my left minister has only seen the emperor once, so far. Who is it?"

Jiang Xian spoke loudly, looked at the queen mother pointedly, and said to Zhou An again: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the safety of the country, and I have to report it."

Zhou An didn't intend to take the conversation, he didn't know much about the world, let alone the affairs of the country, how would he, a commoner, deal with it.

Anyway, he only needs to watch, listen, and eat. As long as he doesn't feel embarrassed, the ones who are embarrassed are those who are looking for trouble.

And no matter what tricks these ministers make, the queen mother will take care of it, and she is happy and relaxed. She only needs to sign in safely and improve her strength.

He didn't understand the art of the emperor, but he knew that it would be easy for the emperor if the ministers fought, and if the ministers didn't fight, the emperor would definitely be a hard worker.

The Empress Dowager said at this time: "The Prime Minister Zuo is right, and the affairs of the country are above all else."

Jiang Xian immediately said: "Your Majesty, hundreds of countries in the Western Regions are fighting with each other, using all kinds of witchcraft and poisonous techniques, causing people to suffer. These voodoo poisons are extremely vicious, and the investigation ahead has a very terrible contagious ability. No one can know why they are contagious. The current plague It is less than a hundred miles away from Linshaguan, and refugees flee here every day.

Although there are soldiers guarding the pass, but in the surrounding area, it is hard to say whether refugees will come over the mountains, or even the plague will infect wild animals and spread to our territory.

I implore the emperor to send troops to quell the war of hundreds of countries in the Western Regions, so as to protect the peace of our Qianyuan people. "

Shangguan Yuchen immediately said: "Hmph, the Arctic Kingdom in the north of our country is watching covetously, and the Canglong Empire in the east has also clashed with our army on the border many times. The five southern countries are also ready to move.

The Western Region is vast, with more than 300 countries, and deserts occupy most of it. We can send troops, how much food and salaries will we need? Our army is not good at desert terrain. If we enter the desert without fighting, there may not be many people who can come out alive.

Even if these two problems are solved, once we send troops, the Arctic Kingdom, the Canglong Empire, and the five southern countries will surely step in, and the left side will bear the consequences. "

Jiang Xian pointed to the envoys from the Western Regions sitting behind and said: "We are not fighting alone, but are helping several countries in the Western Regions to quell the chaos and find out the root cause of voodoo.

Naturally, the Quartet Legion cannot move lightly, but if the Empress Dowager sends Qingyiwei and Xuanyiwei, plus the combined forces of the thirteen countries in the Western Regions, it will be enough, and they are willing to provide all the rations needed for this operation. "

"Bastard, the Xuanyi Guard is monitoring all factions in the Jianghu to ensure the safety of our Qianyuan country. The Qingyi Guard monitors officials across the country to prevent treason and officials knowingly breaking the law. How can they do so lightly?" Shangguan Yuchen immediately denied it.

The other ministers also talked a lot, each speaking for their own camp.

"Enough." The Empress Dowager shouted suddenly, and the sound waves overwhelmed all the officials.

Zhou An was surprised, the internal strength displayed by the Empress Dowager's roar was probably by no means inferior to his own. Originally, he had heard from Sai Naimu that he should be at the top level of martial arts, so he was a little relaxed, but this made him nervous again.

A queen mother has such strength, and I am afraid that among the queen mother's personal purple guards, there are even stronger ones.

The empress dowager's deep inner strength shocked all the officials. They all knew that the empress dowager practiced the Shangguan family's Purple Electric Heart Art, but they didn't expect to have such a deep inner strength.

She glanced at the ministers and said calmly: "Xuan Yiwei has already gone to investigate this matter, and we will discuss everything after we get the information. Mr. Zuo Xiang, is there any other state affairs?"

"Your Majesty, the voodoo is extremely terrifying, and the speed of its spread is astonishing. If it is delayed for a few more days, the people in Linshaguan and the surrounding areas may be in danger. Please also issue the military order early. If the timing is missed, the consequences will be disastrous." Zhou An saluted, with an eager and tragic expression on his face.

"Master Zuo is too alarmist. I have seen the voodoo officer before. Although it is dangerous, it is not as bad as you said."

Shangguan Yuchen snorted, then saluted Zhou An and said, "Your Majesty, you must not be eager for quick success when marching and fighting. It is better to wait for the information brought back by Xuanyiwei before making a decision, lest our soldiers die in vain."

Zhou An secretly listened to them with his ears up, and also listened to the discussions of all the people present, observing the situation between North Korea and China, he could roughly see that it was divided into three parties.

Left Prime Minister and Right Prime Minister are the largest group, and there is another batch, but the number is not small, they are considered neutral, they hardly speak, and they all drink quietly.

The queen mother saw that the two sides were going to fight again, and if the two were going to fight, it would be difficult to distinguish between them overnight. She said with a displeased expression: "Today is the day of great joy for the emperor and the empress. Don't talk about state affairs tonight. Let's raise your glass to congratulate the emperor."

After the Queen Mother spoke, everyone below stood up to toast, and Zhou An and Shangguan Rong also toasted and drank.

Zuo Xiang said again: "Your Majesty, now that you have completed your coming-of-age ceremony, you have to come to the court early, and you need to decide on major national affairs."

The Empress Dowager seemed to have expected Jiang Xianhui to propose it at this time, and she also agreed: "Your Excellency Zuo Xiang is right, Your Majesty, in the future, you should stop being greedy for beauty, and you should be diligent in governing.

The late emperor entrusted this palace to supervise the emperor, if the emperor dares to neglect state affairs again, this palace can only ask for the things bestowed by the late emperor, and he will definitely not forgive him. "

These words surprised Prime Minister Zuo, she was the one who hindered the emperor from going to court, and now she said this, leaving Prime Minister Zuo with no chance to say a lot of things that he had prepared later.

Zhou An was also puzzled, this kind of scheming was too exhausting, it was much worse than going to work before, he really didn't like it.

This is nothing to do for myself, you are fighting against you, why drag me into the water and waste my time.

But when the Queen Mother spoke, he still agreed with all his heart, and then the people in the audience changed into laughter and harmony, which was completely different from the tit-for-tat just now. Zhou An lamented that the officialdom has cultivated people's multi-faceted nature.

After the banquet was over and all the officials dispersed, Zhou An and the Queen took a car to the Kunning Palace, which was the queen's private bedroom, and even the imperial concubine was not eligible to stay there.

When their convoy arrived at the gate of the palace and entered the hall, they saw that the queen mother had been sitting inside waiting for a long time, and the surrounding and roof were surrounded by purple guards, so no spies could get close.
