Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Two days later, it was the day when Chu Xuanchen held the enthronement ceremony.

On the day of the enthronement ceremony, state leaders and dignitaries from surrounding countries came to Chu State one after another to celebrate Chu Xuanchen's enthronement.

The battle between Chu Xuanchen and Feng Lingtian made him famous all at once, and also let the surrounding countries see the power of Chu's military.

Now, the reputation of Chu State frightened the world, and Chu State's army and firearms were also frightening, which caused panic among all countries, and no one dared to attack again for the time being.

Seeing that Chu State has suddenly become so powerful, the surrounding small countries have also sent kings, queens and others with rich gifts to attend Chu Xuanchen's enthronement ceremony.

They tried to form an alliance with Chu State, and wanted to rely on this big tree and let this big tree protect them.

So on this day, the Chu Palace gathered the leaders and dignitaries from all over the world, and it seemed very lively.

At this time, in the Proclamation Room of the main hall of the Jinluan Hall, Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue had already changed into their best attire, and were about to bring all the civil and military officials of the Chu Kingdom, as well as the emperor's relatives, to the Fengtian Hall to worship the heaven, earth and the ancestral hall.

This is the first step of the enthronement ceremony, which is very solemn, so the expressions on everyone's faces are very solemn.

Today Chu Xuanchen wore a bright yellow dragon robe with gilt trim and a golden crown on his head. He looked radiant, domineering and majestic.

As for Yun Ruoyue, she changed from her usual elegant attire. She put on delicate makeup and changed into a bright red phoenix robe.

On the phoenix robe was embroidered a phoenix spreading its wings, looking gorgeous and dazzling, and extremely beautiful.

And she also wore a golden nine-winged phoenix hairpin on her head. This phoenix hairpin made her shine golden, noble and elegant, and extremely beautiful.

At this time, Li Jinzhong respectfully stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come, please move to the Fengtian Hall and prepare to worship heaven and earth."

After Chu Xuanchen nodded, he said, "Okay, dear friends, let's go with me!"

"Yes." All the ministers replied immediately.

"Wait!" Just as Chu Xuanchen was about to lead the crowd to Fengtian Hall, a sharp female voice suddenly came from outside the main hall.

When everyone looked up, they saw Su Ruoxue, who was wearing a red phoenix robe, leading several court ladies, walking in coldly.

Everyone's expression froze immediately.

What is she? Why did the former empress Su Ruoxue come here? Wasn't she thrown into limbo?

Seeing Su Ruoxue, Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue looked at each other.

This woman, what is she doing here? Are you here to make trouble?

When Su Ming saw Su Ruoxue, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and he silently took two steps back, as if he didn't exist.

As soon as Su Ruoxue came in, she stared at Chu Xuanchen coldly, pointed at him, and said sharply: "Chu Xuanchen, you are a rebellious minister who murdered the emperor, you killed the emperor, attempted to usurp the throne, and imprisoned the children of this palace!" , you are not worthy to be the emperor of Chu, let alone hold the enthronement ceremony!"

Hearing this, everyone gasped.

This Su Ruoxue is so courageous, she dared to come in to turn the truth upside down and slander her maliciously, is she going to die?

Seeing this, Li Jin hurried forward and shouted angrily: "Bold, today is the big day for the emperor to ascend the throne, you criminal woman, how dare you trespass?"

"Sinful woman? Huh! I'm a legitimate former empress, not a criminal woman at all. You can't offend me and utter nonsense!" Su Ruoxue said coldly.

Li Jin sneered, "Hmph, I think you are the one who uttered lies. Standing in front of you is the first emperor's son. The new emperor holds the first emperor's imperial edict in his hand and is a legitimate heir. Don't talk nonsense." language, reverse black and white!"

"Yes! The new emperor is the real dragon emperor recognized by the world, and you, the so-called former queen, have long been thrown into the cold palace by Chu Yao for the crime of treason. And now Chu Yao himself is a traitor and traitor who conspired against him. As his The wife of his wife is even more sinful. Someone, pull this criminal woman down, and don't let her miss the auspicious time for the new emperor to sacrifice to heaven!" Jiang Ning sternly said.

"Wait! Why, are you scared? That's why you want to drive me away, right?" Seeing that she was about to be driven away, Su Ruoxue yelled hysterically.

Just as Jiang Ning was about to speak, Chu Xuanchen stepped forward, looked at Su Ruoxue coldly, then raised his head, and said coldly: "Okay, Mrs. Su, I'm here. If you have anything to say, tell me, and I'll let you know." Let's see what you can come up with!"

"Okay, Chu Xuanchen, if you dare to talk to me, you're considered kind of a bit!" Su Ruoxue sneered, glanced at everyone in the hall, and said, "You rebellious officials and thieves actually elected a warrior to be emperor. Chu Xuan Chen, I ask you, will you be the emperor? Do you know how to govern the country? If you don’t understand, you should abdicate as soon as possible, don’t occupy this position and fool the people of the world!”

Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "The so-called way of governing the country is first and foremost to rule the country according to the law and implement benevolent government. The people are the most important, followed by the community, and the king is the least. If you want to enrich the country, you must first enrich the people. If you have enough food and clothing, you know honor and disgrace. If the people are rich, it is easy to govern, but if the people are poor, it is difficult to govern. Therefore, the first thing I do after I ascend the throne is to develop the economy, encourage farming, allow trade, and improve people's livelihood. Let the people be rich and have no worries about food and clothing. , the country is stable, this is the way to govern the country!"

Hearing Chu Xuanchen's words, Su Ruoxue was stunned.

She always thought that Chu Xuanchen was just a warrior who was good at fighting, but she didn't expect that he was also very good at governing the country.

But she won't obey him just because of his words.

She said coldly: "Hmph, you've spoken nicely, so since you came to the throne, what achievements have you made?"

Chu Xuanchen said majesticly all over his body: "Since it is a merit, it can't be said by me, of course it has to be said by the people of the world."

Li Jin immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "The lower officials are also part of the people of the world, and the lower officials can speak on behalf of the people of the world."

As he spoke, he raised his head and chest, and said: "Since the emperor came to the throne, he has driven away foreign enemies and defended the country. He rectified the administration of officials, opened up his voice, eliminated corrupt officials, and re-established laws and regulations. He also made decisions for the people, pleaded guilty for upright officials, and stabilized the order of the court. , to stabilize the government and the public, and to rule the world with virtue, are these not considered the achievements of the emperor?"

Jiang Ning immediately stood up and said: "Not only that, since the emperor took the throne, he has been diligent in governing and loving the people. He often stays up late to correct memorials and deal with state affairs, and never feels tired. The emperor also knows people well, is brave to accept advice, loves the people like a son, and is kind and generous. Together with the Empress, he led the people to farm, and formulated several policies that benefited the people. These policies are related to people's clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the officials below are also carrying out them in full swing. How can these not be counted as meritorious deeds?"

Hearing what the two said, Su Ruoxue was startled for a moment, and took two steps back.
