The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 622: Xiao Rui ascends the throne!

A month passed in a hurry, and the time came to the early morning of May 18th.

Before dawn, Xiao Rui couldn't fall asleep, woke up from the bed and sat by the bed.

It was time for him to ascend the throne today, so he didn't feel sleepy at all, but Xiao Rui wasn't too excited.

He sat by the bed and thought for a while, thinking about the possibility of the future, and before he knew it, the Middle East had begun to see through.

"Your Highness, the ceremony is about to begin!"

At some point, Lu Zhi came to Xiao Rui's side and said softly.

Xiao Rui came back to his senses, looked at the sky that was getting brighter, and said with a smile: "It's been so long since I've been distracted!"

"Yesterday, the Qin Tianjian set up the timing drum. In the early morning, Chen Yu, the chief inspector of ceremonies, sat in the Fengtian Hall. The department of Shangbao set up a treasure case, and the department of Jiaofang set up Zhonghe Shaoyue. Just now, the inspector of rites sent someone to report. The hall is ready. His Majesty has sent officials to inform the heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the community."

Lu Zhi said very carefully, her husband ascended the throne today, as a spouse, she naturally enjoys the honor, so she was also very excited, and couldn't sleep after the child's hour, and asked Lu Su and A Zhu about the situation.

Because it was Emperor Xia who abdicated on his own initiative, there was no death of His Majesty, so Xiao Rui didn't need to wear filial piety, and he only accepted orders before the banquets with the empress and the emperor.

While speaking, the crown princess Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue all came. Zhuge Liuying personally held the yellow gown and helped Xiao Rui put it on.

Outside the East Palace, Wang Dazhi led the internal officials and the Imperial Army were already waiting.

Xiao Rui, who put on the uniform, was so imposing that the girls stared eagerly, never expecting his man to be so stalwart.

Then, when Xiao Rui left the East Palace, just as the bells and drums rang, Xiao Rui went to Fengtian Palace under the escort of Lu Bu, the imperial guard. At this time, incense cases, wine and fruit, etc. have been set up in front of Fengtian Hall. Xiao Rui came here to pay respects to heaven and earth, and went into the hall to pay homage to his ancestors.

At the same time, the noon gate is wide open.

Outside the Meridian Gate, civil and military officials dressed in court clothes, respectfully guided by the officials of Honglu Temple, entered the palace city through the Jinshui Bridge, and stayed in the square outside the Meridian Gate, kneeling in the way of "Wendong Wuxi". Both sides of the royal road.

After Xiao Rui paid homage to his ancestors, the middle door of Fengtian Hall was opened, the throne was ascended, Jin Yiwei blew his whip, and Honglu Temple praised five worships and three kowtows, and respectfully invited Xiao Rui to sit in Fengtian Hall.

Then, civil and military officials filed into the hall according to their ranks, and the enthronement ceremony officially began. The imperial edict was requested by Honglu Temple, and the officials of the Imperial Academy held the edict, and Li Mingchong, a scholar of the cabinet, announced the imperial edict of Emperor Xia's abdication:

"I was ordered by the emperor to inherit the throne of the world, guard the great cause of the ancestors, prevent disasters and bring peace to the people, and ensure the survival of the people to establish my life. It has been twenty-seven years since I was on the throne. Diligent, not daring to relax, worrying about dangers and plotting, working hard every day. However, the sun and the moon are not spared, now I am sixty-three, my muscle strength is weakening, I am worried day and night, and I am not worried. Now I have the law of nature and follow the trend of the sky. Prince Xiao Rui, benevolent, filial and respectful, the world is at heart, and it is appropriate to ascend to the great position! I will abdicate immediately to let the virtuous, so as to help the unification of the universe. I hope that the civil and military officials will work together to help my people, and I have no regrets. Tell the Chinese and foreign, salty envoys to hear I know, thank you!"

This is the abdication edict written by Emperor Xia himself. The content is not long, but between the lines is his life.

As soon as the edict came out, all civil and military officials shouted long live.

Emperor Xia also entered from the apse. He was also wearing a uniform, and personally wore the crown for Xiao Rui.

Afterwards, the world was amnesty, and the year name was changed to "Taichu"!

At this point, the first year of Taichu officially began.

Next, of course, there are other activities.

Xiao Rui decided to confer treasures, conferring Zhuge Liuying as Empress, Li Ruoxue as Concubine Zhuang, Zhang Ruoxi as Concubine Xi, Lu Zhi as Concubine Jia, Lu Su as Concubine Shu, A Zhu as Concubine Hui, and Yan Xiaoxiao as Concubine Yan .

Just as the enthronement ceremony was about to come to an end, outside the west gate of the martial-lawed capital, there was an urgent report from eight hundred miles away. He rushed to the gate of the city and shouted: "Good news! Anxi Qishui Prefecture sent an urgent news , Congratulations to His Majesty the new emperor on his enthronement, hereby congratulate you! Let me enter the city quickly!"

The guards of the city gate immediately opened the city gate, and the post officer galloped into the city on horseback. At the same time, he shouted the good news: "Qin sent 50,000 navy troops to cross the river to invade, and our navy navy has wiped out most of the enemies. They fled in a hurry!"

"Qin sent 50,000 sailors across the river to invade, and our navy has wiped out most of the enemies. They fled in a hurry!"

.....

When Xiao Rui was crown prince, Qi State invaded and was killed miserably by Champion Hou. He congratulated Xiao Rui on his entry into the East Palace with this good news.

Unexpectedly, Qin Guo took advantage of Xiao Rui's ascension to the throne and ordered fifty thousand sailors to cross the river to attack in an attempt to give Xiao Rui a blow.

The state of Qin congratulates Xiao Rui on his succession with the good news of giving away the head!

The news spread to the palace, making the just-concluded enthronement ceremony even more festive.

Xiao Rui also didn't expect that Qin State was so insidious that he would take the lead in launching an attack before he ascended the throne. Fortunately, Gan Ning had already prepared for the battle, so Qin State's plot did not succeed.

In addition, Xiao Rui was very curious, how did this water battle take place?

Time passed to six days ago.

The Great Xiashui Military Camp and Qin State's Qijiang Camp faced each other across the river, but the vast river was too large, and only in the clear night could we vaguely see the looming lights on the opposite side.

During this period of time, the Qin State Qijiang Battalion continued to expand its troops and ships, and there was a lot of movement, so today is the same as usual, and there is nothing unusual about it.

But Gan Ning was vigilant!

Six days later, His Highness's enthronement ceremony will be held. If Qin's naval forces suddenly attack him now, if he loses and the east bank is occupied by Qin, and the news of his defeat is sent back to Kyoto, it will definitely be a blow to his head.

Therefore, Gan Ning has reason to believe that even if the state of Qin has not settled the situation in the sixteen counties, it will take advantage of this golden opportunity to launch an attack!

The more Gan Ning thought about it, the more dangerous he felt. He immediately summoned all the generals of the navy and ordered them to lead the sailors to sleep on the boat with their clothes on. They also prepared all the weapons and arrows so that if the enemy attacked, they could go to war immediately!

The people under him did not dare to slack off, and immediately followed the order.

It was night, just after the ugly hour.

White mist floated on the surface of the Qijiang River, covering the sight. The cautious Gan Ning even dispatched scouts to lurk on the river surface in a small boat painted black, and slowly approached the opposite Qijiang camp.

Sometimes the scouts from both sides would bump into each other on the river. Although the river was wide and wide, coincidences would happen.

So scouting is a very dangerous job.

This time, Gan Ning dispatched ten scouts, all of whom were bold, careful, and skilled in martial arts. After they set off, they immediately separated to investigate, and each rowed a small boat to approach Qijiang Camp. Because of the fog, the visibility was very low, but through the fog, Qijiang Camp could still be seen brightly lit.

The Qijiang camp was no longer brightly lit tonight. Since half a month ago, they had lit torches on the warships at night, and they were glowing red, illuminating their water army camp clearly.

This is also a conspiracy of the Qin State Navy. He keeps lighting the torches at night, and the subtle influence will make the Daxia Navy take it lightly. One day they suddenly attack, they will be caught off guard.

Shuiwa is the team leader of ten scouts, and also the best water-based scout under Gan Ning's command. After he and his nine brothers dispersed, they began to row slowly towards the west bank.

In order to be cautious, he abandoned the boat and launched into the water at a position farther away from the west bank, ready to swim to check the situation.

The Qijiang camp is similar to the camp of the Daxia Navy. It was not built directly on the bank of the river, and the river was dug. The river is more than ten feet wide and three to four hundred meters long. It is like a tributary, extending into the inland. A big lake, there is the base camp.

At the mouth of the river, a gate was built, and there were guarded ships on the river.

The advantage of building a camp in this way is that it can be advanced, attacked, retreated and defended. If the water camp is built purely on the river bank, although it will be very convenient, the disadvantages are also obvious.

When Shuiwa swam closer and could see the situation on the shore clearly, her expression immediately changed!

why?

Because Shuiwa discovered that a large number of boats had docked beside the river bank!

Usually, the Qin State Navy was fortified, and there were at most five or six building boats on the shore. At this time, there were no less than fifty or sixty boats parked on the shore, and none of these boats had lit torches, hiding in the darkness like ghosts.

Moreover, on these high-rise ships, there is a dark army of the Qi State Navy standing there! In addition, there are still a large number of ships sailing out of the river.

not good!

Qi Jiangying will take advantage of the fog tonight to attack!

Shuiwa was terrified, but fortunately the commander sent them here, otherwise today would be troublesome. So Shuiwa walked back immediately, preparing to go back to the east bank.

But since Qi Jiangying was preparing to attack, how could it be unguarded?

Ten of them spread out to investigate, but when seven of them approached the west bank, they were discovered by the defense line arranged by Qi Jiangying, and they were shot and killed!

Shuiwa was lucky enough to avoid the opponent's line of defense and was not discovered.

As for the other two, they also managed to avoid the line of defense, but they were discovered on the way back and were also shot dead in the water!

Only Shuiwa escaped by chance, and he immediately fled back by boat.

At the same time, Qi Jiangying shot and killed Daxia's scouts, and realized that the operation had been exposed, so he immediately launched an attack!

Sixty large-scale building ships, plus hundreds of ordinary ships, transported a full 30,000 water troops, and began to send troops to the east bank. The building ships behind were still sailing out, transporting more Qin soldiers to join the attacking team middle.

Shui Wa rushed back to the barracks and immediately reported the situation to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning lost all sleepiness immediately, and immediately ordered someone to blow the assembly horn, and the soldiers who had been resting on the ship immediately woke up and entered the combat state one after another.

Afterwards, Gan Ning personally supervised the battle and ordered the warships to sail into the river. Among them, the most advanced forty largest warships were placed at the front, each of which could support four to five hundred people to fight on board. The latest warship built by combining the blueprint of the modified building ship.

This is what Gan Ning is most proud of, and he is not afraid of the support of Qin's navy!

Qin's navy wants to defeat the Daxia navy and make His Highness lose face when he ascends the throne. It's wishful thinking!

I want to create a victory for myself, congratulations to Your Highness on becoming emperor!
