Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 334: Douling Empire, ascending the throne

Two months ago, the entire Blood Spirit Continent was unified, and the news that a new dynasty was about to be established spread throughout the continent.

Along with this, the name of Yun Ming, the Lord of Destiny who conquered seven countries and unified the world, resounded throughout the continent.

As soon as this announcement came out, people from all over the mainland celebrated and were filled with joy, because this meant that the endless wars on the mainland had ended and they could finally live a relatively safe and stable life.

The former capital of the Blood Spirit Kingdom, Blood Spirit City, inside the palace hall
Yun Ming sat on the throne, feeling the growing faith these days, with a smile on his face.

Good! This power of faith is very good! It is large in quantity and high in quality, and can be called top-grade. Good things are done, and benefits are gained, and the better they are done, the more benefits there are. This positive process makes Yun very satisfied.

"Your Majesty, I am Han Yang, your humble servant, and I am here to pay my respects to you!" Han Yang walked into the hall and bowed to Yun Ming.

Seeing his men coming, Yun Ming smiled slightly.

"No gift!"

"Have all matters been confirmed?"

Han Yang stood up and replied.

"Your Majesty, all preparations for tomorrow's founding ceremony have been completed, and there will definitely not be any mistakes."

Yun Ming responded.

"Okay! I'm very relieved when you do the work!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Han Yang responded seriously, but from the bright look in his eyes, it seemed that Yun Ming's affirmation was still useful.

Yun Ming felt good about Han Yang's reaction. Being an official! It's not good to have too much selfish desire, it's easy to bully the people and become a parasite of the country, but I'm also afraid of having no desire, no ambition, and just wanting to muddle through. It's good now, I hope he can keep it up.

Yun Ming: "Back off."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Han Yang bowed and replied, then turned to leave. However, he stopped at the entrance of the hall and turned back and said loudly.

"His Majesty!"

Han Yang's sudden startle startled Yun Ming.

"Han Qing, is there anything else?"

Han Yang looked straight at Yun Ming, and then gave another strong standard 90-degree bow. Compared with the previous polite bows, this one seemed very heartfelt.

"Thank you for choosing me and bringing me out of the cage of failure."

"Han Yang, thank you very much!"

Walking from a small border town to the center of the continent, Han Yang felt very emotional and grateful.

“Thanks is not just words, it’s actions.”

"Keep your original intention and govern well in the future. I will see your gratitude."

Yun Ming replied seriously.

"Yes, I will obey your Majesty's teachings!"

"Go to bed early! Tomorrow will be busy."

"Subordinates resign"

This time he really backed out.

Yun Ming's mood did not change much for Han Yang's sudden thanks, he was very calm. This was just a small matter for him. Even without Han Yang, there would be Zhang Yang and Wang Yang. At that time, he just needed a guide. It was the same for him. But Han Yang's reaction also reminded him how important the position he was about to ascend was, and how many people's fate would be reversed in the future because of his random words and deeds.

"Be careful."

With a final murmur, Yun Ming closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation.

the next day, early morning

At that glorious moment when the dawn was breaking and golden light spread all over the earth, the founding ceremony of the first unified dynasty in the Blood Spirit Continent slowly began. The world seemed to be immersed in an unprecedented solemnity and joy.

In the capital city, the streets were deserted, men, women, young and old were dressed in festive attire, their faces filled with unprecedented happiness and pride.

On both sides of the street, colorful flags fluttered, drums and music played, and laughter intertwined into a soul-stirring symphony. People, holding flowers in their hands or carrying ribbons on their shoulders, flocked to the vast square in front of the palace, where they were about to witness a historic moment.

The square was already crowded with people, but the order was in good order. In the center was a majestic altar, on which a dragon throne shone brightly, symbolizing the supremacy of imperial power.

All around, officials were arranged in layers according to their ranks, wearing gorgeous official uniforms, wearing high crowns, holding tablets, and looking solemn and dignified. Among them were civil and military officials who had experienced wars and remained committed, erudite and talented counselors who assisted the new emperor, and even those who had made great contributions to the establishment of the new dynasty, uh... Here I mean the kind of people who knew what was good and didn't let Yun Ming take action.

Han Yang, Qing Shu, Old Man Holy Spirit and the others, who came to Yun Ming's side either passively or actively, were filled with emotion when they truly saw the current unified world.

Their eyes show both regret for the difficult times in the past and longing for a peaceful and prosperous future.

With a long bell ringing, the ceremony officially began.

Yun Ming, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, walked slowly to the altar surrounded by ministers. His steps were steady and majestic, and every step seemed to touch the hearts of thousands of people.

Han Yang stepped forward to preside over the ceremony. "The founding ceremony of the empire begins now!!!"

"The first ceremony of the grand ceremony is to offer sacrifice to heaven and earth"

Afterwards, Yun Ming cooperated and completed a series of routine procedures, including offering sacrifices to the heaven and earth, accepting the congratulations of all officials, and the process reached the key point today. Yun Ming announced to the world and changed the era name to amnesty.

Han Yang: "Your Majesty, please announce to the world and change the era name and grant amnesty!!"

That is, to deliver an inaugural speech, set a new era name for the empire, and grant amnesty to the people, marking the beginning of the new rule. This step not only heralded the new emperor's rule, but also stabilized the people's hearts and social order through amnesty.

After ascending the throne, Yun Ming faced the ministers and the people, and looked at the huge crowds of people below. He felt a rare excitement in his heart. It was his first time to be an emperor. But after the excitement, when he saw the pairs of happy eyes below, he thought of Han Yang, and the heavy pressure came with it. From today on, he really had to bear the fate of a country.

Yun Ming paused for a moment and said solemnly.

"I live in a prosperous era and am entrusted with the mandate of Heaven to govern the people. Today, I am holding a founding ceremony here to announce the birth of our dynasty. This is truly a grand event for Heaven and Earth to celebrate and for all the people to rejoice.

In the past, within the world, the kings were fighting, and across the eight wildernesses, wars were raging. The people were displaced and in mourning, and the world had longed for unification.

Since I started the war, I have upheld justice, based on benevolence, opened up the way for talents, and accepted advice. After a hard battle, I finally conquered the four seas, unified the world, and established this great cause for thousands of years, a unified dynasty.

I know very well that the country is not built by one person. It is because of the civil and military officials who have devoted themselves to the cause and died for it; the soldiers who fought bravely and shed blood, that we have today's peaceful and prosperous times.

I am very pleased, but also feel a great sense of responsibility. At this time, I wish to join the people of the world in this great cause and enjoy peace together.

I swear to uphold benevolent government and govern the country with virtue. I will reduce taxes and levies, give the people a rest; build water conservancy projects, develop agriculture; open schools and train talents. Let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and let the culture flourish. I will also strengthen border defense, resist foreign aggression, safeguard the integrity of our territory, and consolidate our foundation forever.

Today's founding ceremony is not only a celebration of our dynasty, but also a celebration of all people in the world.

Finally, the new dynasty is named ‘Douling’, and its capital is ‘Douling City’ (also known as Xueling City). May our dynasty live as long as the heaven and earth, and shine as brightly as the sun and the moon; may the people of our dynasty prosper from generation to generation, and enjoy eternal peace!

When Yun Ming finished his speech with "prosperity from generation to generation, and eternal peace", the sky seemed to be moved, showing unprecedented magnificence and peace.

As dawn breaks in the east, rays of light penetrate the clouds, as if the hand of a god gently lifts the curtain of night, heralding the dawn of a new era. In the sky, auspicious clouds linger, colorful, and they dance slowly, interweaving into auspicious patterns, as if they are the most exquisite tapestry between heaven and earth, woven specifically for this solemn moment.

Purple air came from the east, surrounding the magnificent palace, adding a bit of holiness and solemnity to this sacred place. Hundreds of birds sang together, their voices were crisp and pleasant, like the sound of nature, as if they were offering the most sincere blessings for Yun Ming's enthronement.

There is also a bright moon hanging high in the sky, bright and flawless, its light gently falls on the earth, nourishing and protecting all things. It really reflects Yun Ming's words, the sun and the moon shine together.

In this magnificent picture with heaven and earth as the background, Yun Ming is so dazzling.

He was as tall and straight as a pine or cypress, with a detached temperament between his eyebrows, as if he was a star that had fallen from heaven and landed on earth. His eyes were deep, shining with wisdom and compassion, as if he could see through the essence of all things in the world, and as if he could gently soothe every wounded heart. His nose was high and his lips were painted red. With a smile, everything was bright and beautiful.

His clothes further demonstrate the emperor's dignity and divine brilliance. He is wearing a dragon robe, with gold and red interwoven, like the morning glow shining on the sea of clouds, majestic and gorgeous. On the dragon robe, there is a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon embroidered, riding the clouds and mist, majestic and imposing, as if it will break through the clothes at any time and soar into the sky. The hem of the robe sways gently in the wind, and every step he takes seems to be stepping on auspicious clouds and lotus flowers.

Wearing a crown, twelve strings of jade beads swayed gently, making clear and pleasant sounds, which were the sounds of nature, washing away the dust in people's hearts. Under the crown, he had a calm and wise face, as if he could see into the future and lead the country to prosperity.

He not only has the flesh and blood of a mortal, but also seems to contain divine power. His every word and action is full of love for the common people and responsibility for the world. With his wisdom and courage, he created a new era, which won the admiration of all people and will be praised by future generations.

Just like a god from ancient legend, he illuminated the sky of blood spirit with his beauty, wisdom and kindness, and became an eternal legend.

This scene is truly a celebration for all beings, and all things celebrate together. Officials and civilians who see such an auspicious scene can be sure that this will be a scene they will never forget in their lifetime.

Was this auspicious sign from heaven an indication that Yun Ming was the true emperor of the Blood Spirit Continent, and that under Yun Ming's wise leadership, the continent would usher in unprecedented peace and prosperity?! After a moment of silence, this scene disappeared, and turned into a frenzy of cheers.

"Long live His Majesty! Long live the Douling Empire!!"

"."

At this time, all the ministers knelt down and saluted, and the sound of "Long live the emperor" resounded through the sky. They held up the tablets with both hands and pressed their foreheads to the ground to express their loyalty and admiration for the new emperor. This action was not only a respect and obedience to the imperial power, but also a firm belief and common pursuit of a better future for the Douling Empire.

Under the altar, the people cheered with tears in their eyes. They waved flowers and ribbons in their hands and cheered loudly, as if they wanted to turn all their joy and excitement into this deafening cheer. Children shuttled and played in the crowd, and the elderly held hands and smiled at each other. Everyone's face was filled with expectations and yearnings for a new life.

At this moment, the entire capital seemed to be condensed by an invisible force, becoming an indestructible whole. The founding ceremony of the Douling Empire was not only the birth of a dynasty, but also a milestone of far-reaching significance in the history of the Blood Spirit Continent. It marked the end of the long-term division and war, and the advent of a new and hopeful era.

At this moment, only Yun Ming had some other thoughts in his mind. He knew clearly who the true destiny of this era was, so this scene could be a possibility. Someone in the God Realm took action. But who was it?
Without any clues, Yun Ming had to put it aside temporarily and continue with the following process. After reading out the order of general amnesty, the entire Douling City entered into a wild feast of founding a country.

Three days after the Empire's celebration, everything returned to normal. The Blood Spirit Continent had just ended years of war and chaos, and it was a time of reconstruction. The government affairs that needed to be dealt with by the new empire were piled up, and there was really no more time for them to indulge themselves.

First of all, in terms of power structure, the strategy that Yun Ming adopted in the Douling Empire is very similar to the current structure of the Wuhun Empire.

He formally gathered the world's strongest men to establish the Douling Hall! He held the highest power in the world, including the change of the throne, the command of the army, and at the same time took into account the functions of soul master management. Except for religious beliefs, it was basically equivalent to the current Wuhun Hall, and Yun Ming served as the first hall master.

In terms of the court structure, he handed over the six-department system to Han Yang and others. After selecting heavyweight officials such as department heads, he let them solve the rest on their own. There were many people in the court who knew more about this than he did, so they could do it themselves. Yun Ming only needed to keep his ears and eyes open and not let his subordinates mess things up.

Once the central government has made the decision, the local governments will also be able to make the decision. The government departments can be established based on the original government offices and modeled after the central government. It is only necessary to take away some powers that are not suitable for the local governments, such as military power and the right to mint coins.

After solving the structural problems, Yun Ming's job became much simpler. He just assigned tasks to his subordinates! The empire's personnel statistics, the awakening of martial spirits in various places, the update of laws, etc. And he also made some major decisions.

But even if Yun Ming only had to do these, he was still very busy every day. A country had just been established, and there were too many important affairs to deal with. He was busy for more than a month before he had time to rest.

That evening, Yun Ming finished his government affairs and returned to his bedroom to practice. But suddenly, he felt a trance, and the world in front of him changed drastically. This was no longer Yun Ming's martial spirit space.
