Chapter 845 – Coronation Ceremony (Part 1)

Letting Bing’er take care of Nuwa, Ouyang Shuo was busy taking care of the other VIPs who had arrived. What surprised Ouyang Shuo was that Zhan Lang had actually arrived at Shanhai City a day early.

“Brother Ouyang, congratulations!”

Zhan Lang was always really crisp when he did things, and his facial expression did not reveal any thoughts.

Ouyang Shuo naturally treated him extremely warmly, smiling, “Brother Zhan Lang, please!”

The two of them arrived at the inn where Zhan Lang took the initiative to ask Ouyang Shuo for a one-on-one conversation. Ouyang Shuo knew that there was a reason why Zhan Lang had come early, so he naturally would not reject the request.

The two of them spent less than 20 minutes in the room. Zhan Lang’s words and the news that they revealed shocked Ouyang Shuo. Right after Ouyang Shuo walked out of the room, his face had an extremely weird expression.

“This truly is… Sigh….”

Ouyang Shuo stopped in his steps; he did not know what to say, and he only shook his head.

At 5 PM in the afternoon, all the invited guests had basically all arrived. At 7 PM, Ouyang Shuo brought Song Jia and Bing’er to the inn hall and held a banquet to welcome the guests.

The hall was bustling with excitement.

However, beneath all of this excitement, there were also many dark currents moving about. Out of these VIPs, there were some allies, some enemies, and some neutral. Many of them were also from overseas; there was a huge mix of people.

Apart from their relationship with Shanhai City, the guests also had some relationships with one another, For example, Zhan Lang and West Chu Xiang Yu had sparks between them. The two of them had fought for control of the east.

Those invited neutral powers could not help but look away when they saw Zhan Lang present. They had also previously hesitated and finally chose to come to Shanhai City in the end.

Now, it seems like even with Silver Hand standing behind them, the Yanhuang Alliance could not face up to Shanhai City.

Since that was the case, how would they follow in the footsteps of Xunlong Dianxue and be the chess piece of others?

With such a group of people gathered together, who knows what reaction would occur?

Atlantis Queen Kalia became the second most popular person present. Everyone knew that the Flying Squad of Shanhai City came from Atlantis.

If one could forge relationships with this queen, one would be stronger than everyone else. Wasn’t that why so many Mediterranean Lords followed her to congratulate Shanhai City?

Adding in her stunning looks, there was expectedly many male Lords gathered around her.

Apart from Kalia, the Yellow Emperor, the Fire Emperor, and the Shang King delegations were also really eye catching. The three of them had been really quiet and the outside world was really curious about them.

However, the three delegations did not bother about the other Lords. The three tribes did not have plans to come out of seclusion.

When the Lords saw that, they could only leave with disappointment.

The one that was left out was the famous West Chu Overlord Xiang Yu. First, amongst the Lords, apart from Zhan Lang, the other Lords did not have much connection to West Chu. Naturally, there was no reason for them to get close to him.

Secondly, West Chu’s strongest aspect was their military. In terms of construction, there was not anything really eye catching. To say it really straightforwardly, their technology had stopped at the Chu and Han dynasties and was not as good as the Lords.?/ update by .Com

Along with Xiang Yu’s famous temper, naturally no one was willing to approach him.

Ouyang Shuo naturally treated everyone the same. No matter who it was, as long as they came, they were friends of Shanhai City. However, when he saw the awkward situation that Xiang Yu was in, he walked up and exchanged a few words.

At the very least, in terms of coal trading, Xiang Yu was really cooperative.

Around 8:30 PM, the feast ended.

Some Lords suggested a night tour of Shanhai City, and there were also others who had some unfinished discussions. The only thing they did not know was that the entire inn was monitored by the Shanhai Guards.

Gaia 4th year, 4th month, 18th day, Shanhai City.

The rebuilt Xia Palace occupied half of the imperial city. The middle of the palace was the renovated Nanjiang Govenor-General Manor; the scale was massive and the buildings were really majestic.

The back garden of the Nanjiang Governor-General House stretched on from the east to the west and was already expanded to become the imperial garden. The playground in the garden had been expanded several times and now took up 100 Mu, a spectacular sight.

Prosperity Beast Qiyi and its family as well as Country Protector Beast Little Mo and its family were all housed in the imperial garden.

The west side was the government offices with the four bureaus as the main ones. The east was an expanded Temple of Heaven. Additionally, a Temple of Earth was built, along with the Yellow Emperor Temple, the Martial Temple, Confucian Temple, and other hidden buildings.

The Yellow Emperor Temple was slightly different. There were two newly added statues of the Fire Emperor and Xia Yu next to the Yellow Emperor statue to show that the Great Xia Dynasty came from the Yellow and Fire Emperor while also inheriting the ambition of Xia Yu.

With that, the Yellow Emperor Temple was officially renamed the Great Xia Dynasty ancestral temple.

Yesterday, Ouyang Shuo had already sent Jiang Shang and Kou Zhun, these two cabinet ministers, to pray at the ancestral temple and to the Xia emperor to say that Shanhai City was about to inherit the Great Xia Dynasty.

Today, Ouyang Shuo also needed to officially pray at the ancestral temple.

The sky was clear; it started to show a purple glow, and the dim moon high in the air.

The heavens were looking down on them as it was going to be another sunny and clear day.

Outside the Wuji Hall door, Xu Chu led a group of Personal Guards while Zisu led the female court ladies to wait. From the incense burner in front of the hall, a scent wafted into the air and spread through the courtyard.

“King, the auspicious time has arrived!”

In the hall, with the help of female court ladies, Ouyang Shuo had already bathed. Hearing the shout, he immediately walked out of the hall.

The yellow coronation uniform that Ouyang Shuo wore had 12 coronation tassels; he straightened his collar as he walked down the steps

In history, the Xia dynasty focused on the wood element. Although Ouyang Shuo had inherited it, he did not want to continue focusing on these five elements. Ouyang Shuo used the legend of Yu the Great (It’s about a flood), choosing to focus on the earth element as earth counters water.

This also announced that the Great Xia Dynasty had plans to revolutionize the wilderness and expand.

Earth was also one of the five elements that the Yellow Emperor focused on, so Ouyang Shuo was wearing a yellow coronation uniform.

‘Dang!’ The loud bell sounded as the ritualist shouted, “Set off!”

The golden gong clanged, instrument played out, and many bells sounded. The music quickened the tempo of the entire ceremony, and the palace gates opened. The moment he exited the gates, he was flooded with many cheers and worship chants.

“Qianshui Qianshui! Qian Qian Shui!” (Basically wishing he lives a long life)

Under the guidance of the guard of honor, they left the imperial city. On the streets, everyone, be it civilians or officials, young or old, willing or unwilling, all came out to witness the arrival of the king. They all knelt down in worship.

Ouyang Shuo sat and did not move, only to see that be it elderly or little children, they all knelt on their knees and shouted three times. No wonder so many people fought for the throne from past to present for such a prestige.

This time, the palanquin had passed the bridge of the inner city river. Looking down, the water slowly streamed from below.

As Ouyang Shuo looked around, he was filled with many thoughts.

Ascending the throne, first worship the Temple of Heaven, and then worship the temple of earth. Amongst which, the Temple of Heaven was the most important.

The Temple of Heaven was 99 feet tall. Below it was yellow earth, and the top was built from white Dali stone; it looked smooth like a mirror. Officials and generals were lined up on both sides based on their positions and ranks, bowing as they awaited his arrival.

As the palanquin was placed onto the ground and Ouyang Shuo stepped out, all of them knelt onto the ground.

Ouyang Shuo slowly walked up, the breeze caused his coronation uniform to move, and the 12 tassels all struck one another and created crisp sounds.

Ouyang Shuo stood stably on the stage and personally read the worship oration.

“To say I was sent by the heavens, I do not dare. The rise of my rule, although without a firm foundation, I will not go against the heavens. The new Xia Dynasty is established, the reign title will be Shenwu; the heavens will know!” To make the reign title as Shenwu was to show Ouyang Shuo’s desire to expand and shock to world.

The moment he finished his words, they chanted, “Qianshui, Qianshui, Qian Qian Shui!”

Ouyang Shuo followed by taking out a specially crafted imperial decree and brush and brushed it on the prepared cinnabar. This cinnabar was mixed with Ouyang Shuo’s heart blood and was closely connected to him.

Next, he raised the brush and wrote five words on the imperial decree, “Great Xia Regime is established!”

All of a sudden, the imperial decree rose up into the sky.

In the sky and on the earth, numerous sparks flew up and formed into a river and flowed into the imperial decree. This was gathering the luck and prosperity of the people of the territory, infusing it in. The imperial decree swiftly expanded and charged straight for the heavens.

Gradually, the imperial decree transformed into a curtain that covered the sky.

At the same time, all the spiritual energy within thousands of miles gathered and infused into it. The imperial decree emitted a golden luster, the white colored luck and prosperity, as well as the greenish spiritual energy.

Gold, white, and green intersecting; one was unable to see the true appearance of the imperial decree.

Suddenly, there was a loud ‘Hong!’ and the sky exploded. The imperial decree that was as large as the sky suddenly compressed and changed. Once all the colors disappeared, a huge bronze vassal (Chinese symbol of dynasty) appeared.

This vassal looked old but mighty, and its contents were unfathomable and emanated with a powerful aura.

At this moment, the golden, green, and white light surged into the vassal. A red sun rose up from within, shining down millions of rays of red light, revealing the Xia word on it.

The moment the white clouds in the sky dispersed, a giant purple dragon that spanned thousands of miles could be seen.

The giant dragon gave out a long roar, raising its head as it charged towards the vassal. It opened its mouth and grabbed onto the sun with the Xia word, flying toward the heavens.

Only to hear a large ‘Hong!’ as the vassal was connected to the heavens and numerous stars shone down, creating an eye-catching sight.

After a short while, the purple dragon once again charged down, and its body slowly shrank as it dived into the vassal. In an instant, a purple giant dragon carving appeared on the body of the vassal as it wrapped around it, looking really lifelike.
