Godsend Field

Chapter 369 The New King
Finally, after taking a look at this tired but peaceful and relaxed face, Tianci pushed on the gold-encrusted Tenglong coffin lid!And his heart seemed to be squeezed severely by the coffin lid.Suppressing the tears in his eyes, Tiancigui fell on the head of the coffin.

"My lord, are we... They are still waiting below!" The waiter next to him whispered.

Tianci stood up, pushed away the waiter on the left who was about to carry the coffin, and personally carried His Majesty's coffin, and walked down the back mountain sadly.

The two neat rows of white flags at the foot of the mountain, even the flag with the Aixin royal family logo, were replaced with black and white.All the attendants wore white mourning clothes with black cloth belts around their waists, bowed their heads and knelt on the ground to welcome His Majesty's coffin.

In the vibrant spring, the back mountain covered with fresh green, is full of endless sorrow at this time!
Tianci also changed into mourning, as if a piece of her heart was missing.His Majesty treated himself like a child when he was alive. Sometimes Tianci felt that His Majesty was his grandfather.Grandpa can sacrifice himself for the prosperity of Nero's official career, but His Majesty is heartbroken for accidentally hurting himself!In his last moments, His Majesty chose to let himself be by his side, and be honest with himself.Although His Majesty was once selfish and nearly died twice, Tianci couldn't hate him.

Poor His Majesty, he gave everything he had to the empire!Dedicated to the empire that belongs to him and does not belong to him!

Along the uneven path, Tianci walked out of the back mountain.On the square in front, both sides of the main road are already full of officials and officials, all of them are wearing mourning clothes!It also includes Marshal Lankers!

Walking to the edge of the square, the coffin stopped.

Dean Rafael stood in front of him, heaved a long sigh, stretched out his hand to caress the coffin, and walked slowly in front of Tianci, "He, how is he going? Did he say anything else?"

Tianci nodded, "Your Majesty walked away peacefully. He said that he fulfilled the promise he made with you back then. He is tired and wants to rest!"

"It's been so hard for him these years, it's time for him to take a good rest!" Dean Rafal said softly, walked to the right side of the coffin, and stretched out his hand to take the waiter's hand.

All the officials were shocked at the same time!In the history of the empire, only His Majesty helped the spirit of a saint, and there has never been a precedent for a saint to help his majesty!
The old Marshal Lankers ran over from the side, knelt in front of His Majesty's coffin and wept bitterly, "Lord Saint, please help His Majesty's spirit with your kindness!"

Dean Rafal nodded silently.

The old Marshal Lankers kowtowed three times, walked to the back of the coffin, and took the hand from the attendant.Duke Meister also came up and took another hand behind him.

"His Majesty!"

All the officials bowed their heads at the same time!The waiters and soldiers on the square fell to the ground at the same time!
The mourning sounded, and everyone's mood became heavy at the same time!
The four Tianci carried His Majesty's coffin and walked towards the sacrificial hall. The magnificent sacrificial hall was covered with white cloth flowers and black banners.It is telling everyone that the wisest monarch in the history of the empire will leave the empire forever!
Another coffin was parked on the platform to the left of the entrance of the sacrificial hall, and Nero was kneeling in front of the coffin in mourning clothes.

"Nile!" Tianci stopped and couldn't help calling out, and at the same time his heart twitched!
"Brother!" Nero turned around, with two tear streaks on his face, "Grandpa...Grandpa...last night...gone..."

Tianci closed her eyes and sighed, not knowing what to say!

"Grandpa said that even if you die, you have to see His Majesty before you can rest in peace! We will let him see His Majesty here according to Grandpa's wishes!" Nero said sadly.

Tianci continued to walk towards the hall.

The main hall has been properly arranged, and the four God-given people placed His Majesty's coffin in the main hall.

The officials bowed their heads again!The four Tianci walked under the coffin, Dean Rafal bent slightly, and the three Tianci knelt on the ground and kowtowed and walked out.Tianci and Nero knelt before the coffin of Duke Kate, and the old Marshal Lankers knelt on the right side of the door.

Not long after, several princesses and concubines rushed over from the palace, crying sadly and rushing into the sacrificial hall.

Jane, Anrui, and Gauss also came to Dongling. Seeing the coffin where Tianci and Nero were kneeling, Jane suddenly felt dizzy, and with Anrui's support, she lay down on the coffin.

Hundreds of officials walked into the sacrificial hall one by one to kowtow to His Majesty.

The eldest prince and the sixth prince have all been put into coffins. As princes, they have a place to bury princes!The third prince was imprisoned, unable to bear this huge blow, the third prince has become demented.

His Majesty has passed away, but there is still no crown prince!Dean Rafael can only make the final decision on the crown prince's matter now!

It was night, and Dean Rafal summoned all the officials to the side hall.Only the old marshal Lankers was not called, and he was still kneeling at the entrance of the sacrificial hall to make atonement.Although His Majesty did not kill him or convict him, he dismissed him from all positions invisibly.

"Ministers and officials, His Majesty has passed away, and everyone is very sad, including me! But now the country cannot be left alone. Since Your Majesty has not established a crown prince, then we have to elect one to inherit His Majesty's throne , become the new king of the empire! I called everyone here to discuss together, who is more suitable?"

All the Shangsi lowered their heads and said nothing, and all the officials looked at each other and discussed in a low voice.

"Lord Saint, I wonder how the third prince is doing?" an official asked in a low voice.

Dean Rafal shook his head, "The third prince is currently insane and cannot inherit the throne at all. And even if he is intact, how can we hand over the empire to him with such a vicious mind?"

Officials stand down!
"My lord, although the regent is dead, he still has a son. I don't know if the eldest grandson of the king can do it?"

"Impossible!" At this time, Shang Si, the Criminal Law Department, stood up, "The eldest prince's behavior that day was like treason. According to the national law, he should be sentenced to death, and his family members should also be executed immediately. Your Majesty is merciful. Only the eldest prince was pursued, and the others were spared. Family members, this is already a great kindness, if you want the eldest grandson of the king to inherit the throne again, this is absolutely impossible!"

The Shangsi collectively nodded, and couldn't help looking at Dean Rafal.

His Majesty only has three sons, and now two are dead and one is crazy. The eldest prince conspired against him. Although his children and relatives will not die, they cannot be members of the royal family anymore.Although the third prince has a concubine, he hasn't had any heirs for a short time, and the sixth prince doesn't even have a concubine yet!
Of the officials present, only the fourteen Shangsi and the seven governors knew the truth, and the rest of the officials did not know.In the eyes of all the officials, the blood of the royal family is gone now!
Just when everyone is frowning
Duke Meister stepped forward, "My lord, all officials, even though the eldest prince, the third prince, and the sixth prince cannot inherit the throne, it does not mean that the blood of the royal family is exhausted. Don't forget, there are still people in the sacrificial hall. There are quite a few princesses, they are also His Majesty's own bones, and their children will also have the blood of the royal family!"

"Princesses?" Baiguan was surprised.

"Duke Meister, it seems that our empire has never had a queen!"

"Hehe, what I mean is that you can choose from among the sons of the princesses, or... choose the husband of a princess, and then pass on to their heirs when they have children. In this way, the blood of the royal family can be continued. !” Mesto said.

His Majesty had five princesses during his lifetime, four of them were married, and only the youngest princess, Princess Luna, was not yet married.And Princess Luna is a bachelor of the Imperial College, and was called the five golden flowers of the Imperial College together with Qin'er Lil Mia Adela!
Dean Rafal nodded, and looked around at the Shangsi, "The Duke Meister's method can be regarded as a helpless solution! Although there is only the matrilineal royal blood, it is better than nothing!"

Only matrilineal royal blood. . .The Shang Sis nodded their heads, as if they had heard something.

"My lord, the four princesses of the empire now have husbands and sons-in-law. I wonder who is more suitable?" one of the officials asked.

"There is no need to choose!" At this moment, Nero suddenly stood up, "These four are not suitable! Only Princess Luna's husband-in-law is the most suitable!"

Princess Luna?

All the officials were shocked at the same time, Princess Luna was not married yet!

Nero stepped forward and suddenly half-kneeled in front of Dean Rafael, "My lord, now that His Majesty has passed away, the empire has no master, and all matters need to be decided by you. I am here to ask you to betroth Princess Luna to me." !"

All the officials burst into flames!Isn't this a clear attempt to grab the throne?

Tianci was also shocked, but what was in Tianci's mind at this time was not the throne, but another question, little stupid!
The Duke of Maxtor came out again, "My lord, according to my observation, the husbands-in-law of the four princesses are not the talents of the king. And Nero, the performance of the young man in the Ministry of Government Affairs is obvious to all, so the minister I thought Nero could take on this important task!"

Fourteen Shang Si and seven marquis governors stood up and knelt on the ground at the same time, "Your Majesty seconded the proposal! What Master Mesto said is true!"

All the officials were surprised to see the unanimous answer of the fourteen Shangsi and the seven marquis governors.How did they know that Niro is the only person with the blood of the Aixin royal family in the entire empire. If he is not qualified, then there is really no one else who is qualified!

My top bosses have already expressed their views, so why do I hesitate?And all the generals just made a mistake, although His Majesty said not to pursue it, but everyone's heart is hanging in the air, absolutely no mistakes can be made at this time!Just go with the flow!

At this time, all the officials also knelt down one after another, echoing with one voice.In the entire side hall, only Tianci remained without any statement.

Dean Rafal looked at the kneeling officials, "As Mesto said, the husbands-in-law of the four princesses are indeed not talented in governing the country. If they are allowed to take over the empire, His Majesty will not be able to rest easy. Although Nero is young , but he is indeed a leader in the empire, and he followed Duke Kate in and out of Antian Mansion to learn how to govern the country since he was a child. Talents are rare, and he is the one to inherit the throne...the best candidate!"

The hearts of all the officials trembled, and they bowed their heads even more!
"Princess Luna has the best talent among the five princesses. She is approachable and hard-working in the academy. She is also gentle and virtuous, and she is indeed the best choice in the world. If you can get married, you will be a talented man and a beautiful woman." , is a model for the people! And all the ministers and officials unanimously recommended, I will be kind and accept your request for Your Majesty. From today, Nero Kate will no longer be the young patriarch of the Kate family, but A new member of the Aixin family, you will inherit the glory of the Aixin royal family and the heavy responsibility of the Aixin royal family."

Dean Rafal stepped forward and stretched out his hand to press the top of Nero's head, "From now on, your name will be Nero; Aixin! You will be the Crown Prince of our Welsh Empire!"

Nero bowed his head, "I, Nero Aixin, will uphold His Majesty's last wish and work hard to make our Welsh Empire prosperous and prosperous forever!"

Dean Rafal nodded, reached out to support Nero, and pulled him to face the officials below.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Duke Meister bowed his head again and shouted loudly.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

All the officials also bowed their heads one after another, and the voice of shouting circled around the side hall.

While everyone bowed their heads in prostration, only Tianci remained motionless!
After everyone kowtowed, they stood on both sides.

"Okay, the matter of the crown prince is settled, and the empire is considered half stable! Next, let's continue to discuss matters behind His Majesty. His Majesty has worked hard for the country for 70 years, and has done his best to turn the empire from the weakest to the most powerful now. Powerful, his achievements are unmatched in the empire. His funeral should also be the most solemn! Minister of National Rituals, this matter will be entrusted to you, and you must highlight the glorious achievements of His Majesty during his lifetime!"

"Yes, I will obey your orders!" The Minister of National Rites, Shang Si, took the order.

"Secretary of Civil Affairs, I'm afraid the empire doesn't know about His Majesty's new funeral. Go and tell the world. When the amnesty arrives, it will be three days of national mourning. The people of the whole country will mourn for His Majesty, and all celebrations will be stopped!"

"Yes, I will obey your orders!" said the Commander of the Department of Civil Affairs.

Dean Rafal nodded, "Bokqi, you are in charge of the engineering department. How is the construction of His Majesty's mausoleum going?"

Bo Keqi stood up and cupped his hands, "My lord, His Majesty's mausoleum was completed ten years ago. Among them, one main hall and two supporting halls, stone statues, large stele towers, large and small stone bridges, dragon and phoenix gates, small stele pavilions, colored glaze There are a total of 490 nine buildings such as gates."

"490?" Dean Rafal frowned slightly.

"Yes! Although five is auspicious on the mainland, and the building of the founding king of the Welsh Empire is 550, the rest of the kings do not exceed 490. When it was built that day, the ministers asked to build [-] five, Your Majesty I said that I would never dare to surpass my ancestors, so our engineering department is positioned as [-]!" Bo Keqi replied.

"Lord Saint, all the officials!" Nero said at this time, "Your Majesty reformed the aristocratic system, rectified the provinces, eliminated the hidden dangers of our Welsh Empire for 5000 years, and created a precedent for the prosperity of the empire. I think His Majesty's merits and virtues can stand shoulder to shoulder with the ancestors, how about I propose to increase the number of His Majesty's mausoleum to five hundred?"

Dean Rafal nodded in acquiescence, and all the officials agreed!

"Your Majesty takes the order, let's go and perfect it!" Bo Keqi cupped his hands, "But there is one more thing, His Majesty's mausoleum has not yet been named, I don't know what to name it, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to decide?"

Dean Rafal looked at Nero, "It's up to you to decide the tomb of the former king!"

Nero thought for a while, "Holy Tomb!"

Holy mausoleum!

All the officials couldn't help but tremble!
"Obey! I'll deal with it now!" Bo Keqi saluted and exited the side hall.Your Majesty is about to enter the mausoleum, these matters must be done immediately!Fortunately, all the personnel materials were prepared early in the first place, and I just waited for the order to deal with it immediately!

"Mesto, go to Princess Luna now, talk to her in private, and ask her what she means!"

"It's Lord Saint!" Duke Meister saluted and walked out of the side hall.

"Everyone, your Majesty's new funeral, the empire may experience short-term fluctuations. Each of you must fulfill your duties and stabilize the situation of the empire!" Dean Rafal said loudly.

"Only follow the instructions of the saint!" All the officials replied in unison.

"Okay, you all go to pay homage to His Majesty!" Dean Rafal waved his hand, "Heavenly gift, you stay!"

Tianci was taken aback and stood where he was.Nero led all the officials out of the side hall and walked towards the sacrificial hall.

Only Dean Rafal and Tianci remained in the side hall.

"Tianci, you haven't spoken since just now, is there any dissatisfaction!" Dean Rafal asked.

Tianci shook his head.

Dean Rafal walked up to Tianci and put his hand on Tianci's shoulder, "My Majesty and I have been away for the past two years, thank you for your hard work! If it weren't for you, the empire would have been in a mess. You have done a good job!"

Tianci was ashamed, "Dean, in fact, I..."

"Okay, let's not talk about the past, we have to look at the future! I told you before that the saints are not allowed to interfere in politics unless it is absolutely necessary. And the reason why I want to make Nero the crown prince today is the reason. You should also know. I broke Ai Xin's bloodline 70 years ago. Although I don't regret it, I feel guilty after all. Now His Majesty's heirs are all useless, and Nero does have the bearing and means of a king. More importantly, He still has Aixin's blood flowing through him! By doing this, I will also return the throne to the Aixin royal family!"

"Dean, I know this!" Tianci said.

Dean Rafal patted Tianci's shoulder vigorously, and put his hands behind his back, "It's good that you can understand my painstaking efforts! The most remarkable achievement of His Majesty during his lifetime was to fight against criticism and reform the aristocratic system. Be extremely cautious, especially the duke. Since the pacification of the three major provinces, His Majesty has conferred the title of duke on the three people who contributed the most, Kate, Lankers, and Maxtor, and has not conferred the title of duke on anyone for more than 50 years. But I did not expect that His Majesty’s last pardon was not to establish a crown prince, but to confer you as a duke. It can be seen that in His Majesty’s mind at that time, his feelings for you had surpassed the empire. Old Max died the earliest, and Mai Stowe just inherited his father's title, Kate is dead now, and Lankers has also been deposed by His Majesty. In the current government, you are the only Duke conferred by His Majesty. This will be Your greatest reliance in the future. And the saying that it will be passed down forever is your gold medal for avoiding death."

Tianci's heart ached, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"Tianci, I know you don't like government affairs, but at the moment, your majesty is newly dead, and even if Nero succeeds, he won't be able to control the entire government affairs immediately. I hope you can use your current power to help Nero stabilize the situation. Stay in the political situation, wait for him to sit firmly, it's not too late for you to let go!"

Tianci nodded, "President, don't worry, I will!"
