Chapter 152 The Son is a Villain 21

Everything is ready, and it's time for Wanqi Xiao to officially ascend the throne.

The imperial palace in Huangwu County has been built, and it is painted entirely white instead of gold.

The white palace just happens to match the color of the white dragon's body, which was also what Wanqi Xiao requested from the beginning.

Finally, it came to the day before Wanqi Xiao ascended the throne.

Chao Yao took out the jade seal that Wanqi Runzhi had given her before.

"Xiao'er, this jade seal was given to me by an elder. I think it should belong to you."

The moment Wanqi Xiao picked up the jade seal, it suddenly broke.

In the center, a glittering mini dragon scale was suspended in mid-air.

It gradually grew larger and finally sank into Wanqi Xiao's body.

"Mom, this is my reverse scale."

Chao Yao was a little puzzled, "I remember that if you touch the dragon's reverse scale, you will die. Why is your reverse scale somewhere else?"

"It may be related to my going down to the mortal world to survive the tribulation."

The moment the reverse scale penetrated Wanqi Xiao's body, his strength began to increase rapidly, until it finally turned into nothingness.

When one cultivates to the highest level, one will eventually become one with the world and return to nothingness.

"Since it's yours, you must take good care of it. There's still the coronation ceremony tomorrow, Xiao'er, go to bed early."

As Chao Yao left, Wanqi Xiao touched his chest.

Yes, you must protect your things and not make the same mistakes again and put yourself in a desperate situation.

Wanqi Xiao's enthronement ceremony was definitely one of the most grand and solemn ceremonies in the country's history.

At dawn, in the dim morning light, the entire palace was already a busy scene.

Thousands of palace maids and eunuchs were busy setting up the venue, arranging ceremonial objects, and preparing various items needed for the enthronement.

In the square, the red carpet extends all the way to the throne, like a road leading to the pinnacle of power.

As the morning light gradually brightened, civil and military officials arrived at the square one after another and lined up in order of rank.

Their clothes were gorgeous and their faces were filled with anticipation and awe.

At this solemn moment, everyone knew in their hearts that they were about to witness the beginning of a new era.

Suddenly, a solemn drumbeat sounded, shaking the entire square.

Wanqi Xiao, wearing a white dragon robe trimmed with gold thread, walked out slowly in the morning light.

His face was calm and dignified, and his eyes were firm, as if he had already seen the direction of the future.

Under the gaze of the crowd, he walked towards the throne step by step, each step accompanied by the rhythm of drums, as if beating the beat for his path to the throne.

At the same time, Chao Yao and Wanqi Fufeng also appeared in the square.

Chao Yao, dressed in a gorgeous empress dowager dress, walked gracefully on the red carpet. Her face was kind and majestic, and her eyes were shining with expectations and blessings for the new monarch.

Wanqi Fufeng was wearing the formal attire of the retired emperor, with a dignified demeanor and a firm gaze, and he provided a solid foundation for his son.

They stepped onto the steps in front of the throne together with Wanqi Xiao. At this moment, the atmosphere in the square reached its climax.

The drumbeats suddenly stopped and Wanqi Xiao sat down on the throne.

All the civil and military officials shouted in unison: "Long live His Majesty!"

The sound resounded through the sky and shocked people's hearts.

At this moment, Wanqi Xiao is not only the ruler of a country, but also the faith and hope in the hearts of countless people.

Subsequently, a series of coronation ceremonies took place one after another.

Wanqi Xiao accepted the imperial seal, dragon robe and other items that symbolized imperial power, and swore an oath to devote everything to the country and the people.

At this solemn moment, Wanqi Xiao's voice resounded throughout the square, and everyone felt his firmness and determination.

Envoys from various countries came to congratulate and express their friendship and respect to the new monarch.

At the end of the day, the entire palace was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and celebration.

People were talking about the new king's wisdom and bravery and the prosperity of the country.

Wanqi Xiao, Chao Yao and Wanqi Fufeng also became the focus of everyone's attention. Their wisdom, courage and leadership were admired by everyone.

That night, the palace set off grand fireworks, lighting up the entire sky as bright as day.

People look up at the beautiful moment of fireworks blooming, their hearts filled with hope and longing for the new era.

And Wanqi Xiao also made a promise on this special night to make the country more prosperous and the people live a better life.

The entire coronation ceremony lasted for several days, during which various celebrations, banquets and activities were held.

In this grand celebration, people not only witnessed the beginning of a new era, but also felt the prosperity of the country and the unity of the people.

Although it was a new dynasty, its power was not weak.

In order to ensure the stability and development of the new dynasty, Wanqi Xiao issued a series of important imperial decrees after he ascended the throne.

The first imperial edict: Reform the tax system and reduce the burden on the people.

Wanqi Xiao sympathized with the people and ordered a reform of the tax system to ensure the stability of people's livelihood.

The original household-based tax was changed to a property-based tax, which lowered the tax rate and allowed the people to have more income for their lives and development.

At the same time, unnecessary taxes and levies will be abolished to reduce the economic burden on the people.

Officials at all levels must strictly implement this and must not engage in any acts of corruption. Once discovered, they will be severely punished.

The second imperial edict: encourage agriculture and sericulture and develop the economy.

Agriculture is the foundation of the country. Wanqi Xiao encouraged farming and sericulture to improve the level of agricultural production.

He ordered officials at all levels to guide farmers to adopt advanced agricultural technologies and increase farmland production.

These are all provided by Chaoyao technology and then implemented by relevant departments.

At the same time, farmers are encouraged to reclaim wasteland and increase arable land, and rewards are given to farmers who reclaim large amounts of wasteland.

In addition, in order to promote commercial development, trading companies will be set up to facilitate merchants to trade with foreign countries and increase the country's fiscal revenue.

The third imperial edict: Promote cultural education and cultivate talents.

Talent is the cornerstone of a country's prosperity. Wanqi Xiao decided to promote cultural education and cultivate more talents.

He ordered the establishment of schools across the country, providing free education for five years to give more children the opportunity to receive education.

At the same time, outstanding talents are selected for key training to provide intellectual support for the country's development.

It would be difficult for officials at all levels not to attach importance to education. Wanqi Xiao would investigate and ask questions, and also provide necessary support for the construction of schools.

He himself has some accomplishments, and others dare not hide them from him.

The fourth imperial edict: reorganize the army and enhance national defense capabilities.

National security is the prerequisite for development. When Wanqi Xiao first conquered the world, he combined multiple armies. So now that the new dynasty has been established, he needs to reorganize the army and improve national defense.

Wanqi Xiao ordered the strengthening of border defense construction, the construction of city walls, castles and other defensive facilities to ensure national security.

At the same time, we will improve the equipment level of the army, let the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War develop advanced weapons and equipment, and enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.

On many occasions and in various situations, Wanqi Xiao has proposed that officials at all levels should attach importance to military construction to ensure national security and stability.

The fifth imperial edict: Promote the rule of law and ensure justice.

The rule of law is the cornerstone of social justice. Wanqi Xiao believes that the rule of law should be promoted throughout the country to ensure justice.

So he ordered the formulation of detailed laws and regulations to regulate people's behavior and ensure the normal operation of society.

It emphasizes that officials at all levels must strictly enforce the law, not fear the powerful and uphold the dignity of the law.

At the same time, judicial institutions are established to provide legal aid and appeal channels for the people and to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

The sixth imperial edict: Build infrastructure and improve people’s livelihood.

Infrastructure is an important support for national development. Since Wanqi Xiao decided to establish a new dynasty in Huangwu County, he began to build infrastructure and improve people's livelihood.

He also attached great importance to this matter.

He ordered the construction of roads, bridges, water conservancy and other infrastructure projects across the country to promote economic exchanges and development in various regions.

At the same time, strengthen the planning and construction of various towns and improve the living environment of residents.

Through the promulgation and implementation of this series of imperial edicts, Wanqi Xiao laid a solid foundation for the stability and development of the new dynasty.

He not only pays attention to the overall development of the country, but also cares about the welfare and livelihood of the people.

Under his leadership, the country gradually moved towards prosperity.

In the process of implementing these imperial edicts, Wanqi Xiao demonstrated outstanding wisdom and firm determination.

He always pays attention to changes in the country's situation and feedback on people's needs, and constantly adjusts policies and measures to ensure that the country's development always moves in the right direction.

At the same time, Wanqi Xiao also paid attention to communication and collaboration with civil and military officials.

He knew very well that the prosperity of the country required the joint efforts and contributions of all officials and people.

Therefore, he often discussed state affairs with officials, made joint decisions, encouraged innovation, and commended advanced deeds and outstanding talents.

In this way, Wanqi Xiao successfully inspired the cohesion and centripetal force of the entire nation.

Chao Yao felt extremely gratified to see that the country was getting better and better under the leadership of Wanqi Xiao.

There is one thing, Wanqi Xiao is already 25 years old, and has not yet started selecting concubines and establishing a queen.
