In all dynasties, the emperor's ascension to the throne was the first major event.

As the so-called "one emperor and one courtier", the new monarch is in charge of the great treasure, and a luxurious and grand ceremony is bound to be held to show that the world will become the new master of China.

Li Pei's enthronement ceremony will be held at the "Chengtianmen", which means "inheriting the sky and being ordered by the sky".

As early as a few months ago, someone had come from out of town to prepare for the ceremony.

On the day of today's ceremony, before dawn, there are already huge crowds of people, standing shoulder to shoulder, and there are millions of people in Wuyang and Wuyang.

Three religions and nine streams are all-encompassing, and they dress in a variety of styles. There are rich men in long gowns and coolies in sacks.

Most of the people at the bottom like the latter made up the majority, and they didn't even recognize a word. It really didn't matter who was the emperor.

Come here just to join in the fun and see the legendary immortals and the immortal "Flying Immortal Boat".

However, these extremely numb people oppressed by life have vague expectations for the new court.

After all, that Lu Zhenjun has a really good reputation!

She is not fond of beauty, and is not good at power and wealth. She just spends her days cultivating at home, with only three women serving her.

Under his rule, it is even more stable, all kinds of underworld forces have disappeared, everyone has hope, and it is said that there will be tax exemptions...

Just as everyone was imagining, there was a sudden noise from far to near, as well as the sound of heavy footsteps in a uniform manner.

Everyone stood on tiptoe and looked up, and immediately someone shouted excitedly: "It's the Imperial Army!"

I saw an army formation composed of more than a thousand people slowly entering the venue. These were carefully selected forbidden troops, equivalent to the emperor's personal guard.

The 1,000 people on the spacious Chang'an Street are very inconspicuous, but the onlookers could not help exclaiming when they saw them lined up, and subconsciously retreated again and again.

Because the most elite "mecha warriors" came, their whole body was covered with steel and no skin was exposed. They looked like tyrannical steel monsters, full of oppression.

Fortunately, the bright red cloaks cut and made by professionals made them a little more gorgeous, and it was just right to act as a guard of honor.

The crowd excitedly talked about:

"I heard that the real monarch gave these armors a name - the light armor is [Fearless Battle Armor], and the big one is called [Terminator Mecha]"

"Even the lightest armor has to weigh 200 kilograms, right? You can't wear it if you don't reach the Dirty Refinement Realm."

"That's not true. Those two and a half meters tall are more than two tons, and only the Great Martial Artist of the Exchange Realm can wear them."

In the discussion, some well-informed people said:

"The imperial court changed the military system. In the future, those who can wear armor will be the regular army, responsible for charging into battle. Those who can't wear armor can only be auxiliary soldiers, called 'Mortal Auxiliary Army'."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone gathered around to inquire.

The man became more and more complacent, and said with a concave belly:

"The imperial court will abolish most of the army, leaving only the elite. The original Wuwei Army will be changed to the 'Empire Fist' army, and the Beiyang Navy and a small number of the Western Expedition Army will also remain...

In short, it's what Lu Zhenjun meant. In the future, we will not be afraid of foreigners in the Great Yi Dynasty! We must also take back all the concessions and abolish unequal treaties..."

The people present were only ordinary people, and it was the first time that they had come into contact with these "insider information", and they listened with great interest.

But after listening for a while, someone's stomach suddenly growled.

"I heard that the new dynasty will stabilize food prices, but I don't know when... My family is about to run out of food, and I can only hope to survive the winter."

"How did I hear that there is a shortage of food in the south, and the price of food will rise again!"

Hearing this news, the crowd was a little commotion for a while.

~~~~~~~~~~

At the same time, many high-ranking officials, dignitaries, and martial arts masters also gathered at the gatehouse of "Chengtianmen", waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Among them, there are **** like Fu Fangsheng and Dong Fuxiang; there are also famous sects who support Lu Yao, such as Wudang Sect, Fahua Temple, Yushan Sect;

There are people from all backgrounds, according to each other's circles.

Things in the world are not black and white, there are always large areas of gray.

The largest number of people in the field were the wealthy and powerful families who ostensibly surrendered.

Most of these big families with a long tradition are still very acquainted. Obediently surrendered in the face of absolute force, so Lu Yao did not kill them all.

But there are also many people who are unwilling and want to fight for more right to speak through other means. It is this group of people who secretly join forces to drive up food prices.

In fact, this is what wealthy families have been doing for thousands of years, nothing more than hoarding and spreading rumors.

Take all the grain on the market into your own hands, spread rumors that the grain shortage is coming to create anxiety, and sell it for huge profits.

At this time, because of the appearance of the Imperial Army, there was a tsunami of cheers from outside.

Looking at the steel battle formation like a human-shaped tank, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with a goatee had a face like water, and said coldly:

"Dao eliminates the devil, and actually makes this big devil a climate!"

This person is the chief comprador of HSBC - Xi Sugui.

He started from the lowest level of HSBC and worked his way up to the chief comprador, and he became a figure in the financial world.

Xi Sugui knew very well that it was only by the power of foreigners that he could get to where he is today!

So Lu Yao wants to collect taxes from a wealthy family, and he can bear it.

But Lu Yao wants to attack the foreigners' power and affect the comprador business, which is unbearable!

This is simply to dig the roots of the Xi family, and the contradictions are completely irreconcilable.

Therefore, Xi Sugui is also the craziest one in this time to drive up food prices.

Not only did he use all his family property, he also transferred funds from HSBC and hoarded 1 billion catties of grain! That's 500,000 tons!

And Lu Yao brought back 20 million tons of rice this time. This person can reach 2.5%, which is very rare.

At this moment, several comprador families like him were gathering together and whispering.

"The great masters of the Kunlun School and the Tianshan School are reluctant to leave the mountains."

"These slickers, close the mountain every time the dynasty changes, and then come out when the world is at peace."

"What's the use of coming out, this devil named Lu has no one to cure, I am in the land of Shenzhou!"

The thought of paying taxes as obediently as a mud-legged man made everyone feel sad.

Xi Sugui said in a low voice, "Don't panic, everyone! This time I'm waiting to use the food shortage to let the devil surnamed Lu know that governing a country is not about fighting and killing! If you want peace and stability in the country~lightnovelpub.net~ You have to treat me with respect!"

Immediately someone slapped the thigh and said:

"Brother Xi's remarks are very good! We must use starvation to perish all over the world, and let the devil know the truth of 'governing the world with scholars and officials'!"

When everyone heard this, they nodded in agreement.

The powerful monarchs of the past dynasties have been seen a lot. Even if they don't use force, the aristocratic families still have ways to fight for power and profit.

Xi Sugui stroked his beard and said, "If the new imperial court is interested, I'll put food in front of me. It's not good for too many people to starve to death."

"Brother Xi is benevolent, this will cost you a lot less."

"It should be, it should be."

Just as Xi Sugui waved his hand modestly, the Chengtian Gate slowly opened, and the enthronement ceremony was about to begin!
