Rise of the Empire Total War

Amidst thunderous applause and cheers, the three priests walked up to Cardinal Peter Scanrel holding the crown and scepter that symbolized royal power. Trays of utensils are held high above their heads.

However, before that, Bishop Peter Scanrel took the holy oil bottle from the priest beside him, painted a cross on Richard's forehead, felt the coldness on his forehead, Richard's excited heart He became much calmer, and he stared lightly at the velvet carpet in front of him, waiting for the cardinal to put the crown on himself.

After painting the cross, Cardinal Peter Scanrel solemnly took over the heavy crown from the tray covered with fine velvet. This crown was worn by successive Kings of the Kingdom of Winster. Its main body is made of gold. It is inlaid with hundreds of diamond jewels of the same size, which radiate dazzling light under the surrounding light.

Under the eyes of all the people, the cardinal solemnly put the crown on top of Richard's head. The moment the crown fell, there were thunderous applause and cheers again in the arena, and then Richard stood up slowly and took the pure gold The king's scepter, then turned around, glanced at everyone in the hall like eagle eyes, slowly raised his hands, nodded slightly, and said in a trembling voice: "I, Richard Stuart, follow the God's will, in the name of King Winster, to defend the territory of the kingdom, to defend the glory of the kingdom, I will do anything!

I will recover the separatist Ulifland, defeat the invading Kunias and Lasiks, and spread the kingdom's reputation throughout the Vardasia peninsula! "

As soon as he finished speaking, there was even more violent applause and cheers in the arena. Richard's most loyal sergeant and the nobles and knights who handbooked him all shouted the name of the king and shouted long live.

"Long live the king!"

"Long live the king!"

"Long live the king!"

...

When all the ceremonies were over, it was already the night of the day. Although the palace gradually returned to calm, the city was still bustling. In order to celebrate the new king's enthronement and stabilize the people's hearts, Richard used the funds from house raids to hold the event in Balgri Square. A larger-scale banquet was held. On Balgri Square, a large number of fine wines and delicacies were placed on the tables for the citizens to enjoy. On the temporary high platform, the famous theater troupe in the city performed praises. In the king's drama, the sound of musical instruments and the laughter of people can be heard everywhere in the square.

Because of Richard's deliberate actions, the soldiers he stayed in Nord City, except for the necessary patrols and security personnel, were allowed to participate in this banquet with the civilians. With the help of good wine and food, the soldiers quickly Fighting with the civilians, maybe the civilians were still afraid of the soldiers brought by Richard before this, but after tonight, the fear in their hearts will be much less.

There was a noisy banquet outside, but inside the Palace of Ippolito, Richard, who had just been enthroned as king, did not take a moment's rest, and directly summoned all his vassals and lieutenants who came to the coronation ceremony to discuss the formation of the new kingdom's cabinet .

Of course, this cabinet is not the other cabinet. All the powers of the cabinet formed by Richard belong to the king. The cabinet members are just the king’s tools. with the court chaplain. Since the law of the Kingdom of Winster is the supremacy of kingship, the cabinet cannot influence the decision of the king like some countries. Richard cannot accept such cabinets as deciding whether to usurp the title of nobility, whether to declare war, etc.

As a Chinese who has been familiar with the feudal autocratic system since he was a child, Richard advocated the autocracy of the emperor in China, rather than the separation of powers in the West.

After some discussions, it was finally decided that the position of the Chief of Foreign Affairs would be handed over to the system diplomats recruited behind Richard, the Chief of Military Affairs would be handed over to Charles, Earl of Sauron, and the Chief Financial Officer would be handed over to the first businessman in the system, Volkmar von Howard (After several years of experience, this experienced businessman is no longer the little white affairs officer with only one star,

but a six-star senior officer), spy chief is Spy Officer Renard Erlach, and the court chaplain is much simpler, except for Cardinal Peter Scanrel, there is no other suitable candidates.

Until now, Richard suddenly realized that the talents under his command were still too small, and he could not even make up a complete cabinet. The official has only a pitiful one star, and his ability to serve as an earl's chief foreign affairs officer may be able to barely handle it, but as a kingdom-level foreign affairs chief, he is still not enough.

After the assembly was dismissed, Richard dragged his tired body back to the bedroom. At that time, he was not so tired after participating in Stephanie's coronation ceremony.

Excitement and excitement, there will definitely be. Before time travel, he often watched the emperors and kings in film and television dramas, imagining what he would do after becoming the supreme ruler, and even like other keyboard warriors, he would go online It’s not good to blame a certain emperor, but you can definitely do a better job than him if you change yourself. However, it is not until today that he knows the hardships he has experienced in becoming the necessary king, and the difficulties after he has governed.

In a word, the former keyboard warriors should also experience it. Maybe even if they have the same system, they may not be as good as Richard.

Lying on the big soft bed with mixed feelings, listening to the noise from Balgri Square, Richard slowly fell asleep...

...

The next day, Richard summoned Douglas, the envoy of the Kingdom of Ravana, in his study. This youthful young man has experienced so many things many years ago, and now he is more mature. After returning home, he was appointed by Queen Stephanie as the treasurer of the kingdom. .

Looking at the friend who was chatting in front of him, Richard felt a little complicated. Hearing from what Douglas said, he was being acquainted with his elder brother Oslita (no wonder that Osligo collar was familiar. It turned out that there was a man named When he was sent abroad, Richard's cousin Aphra also quarreled with her, but she was lucky enough to escape and later married her sweetheart, Douglas.

It can be said that during the period of time after knowing that his family members were executed, it was all thanks to Afra to comfort him that he survived.

After listening to Douglas' narration, Richard was a little emotional, but he still gave his best friend blessings while feeling emotional. At the same time, he was silently thinking about when he could propose a marriage request to Stephanie.

Not only for the feelings for Stephanie, but also for the kingdom she ruled. After all, Richard was crowned the king of the Kingdom of Winster while bearing the titles of Lord Protector of the Kingdom of Ravana and Duke of Cuban. It's really embarrassing, because he doesn't know whether his territory in the Kingdom of Ravana should actually belong to the Kingdom of Ravana or the Kingdom of Winster.
