() "Sir, Master Tong asked me to inform you that everything is ready." Around ten o'clock the next morning, a young eunuch ran into the emperor's palace and faced Ito Cheng who was wearing the emperor's uniform under the palace maid's clothes. reported.

"I understand." Ito Cheng said as he opened his arms and let the palace maid arrange her clothes. \u003c, Lakshatta, Lloyd, Cecil, Cornelia and Yuffie invited. \u003c said.

"Okay, just in time to see how the enthronement ceremony of the Chinese Federation is different from that of the Britannia Empire." Lloyd reached out and gently pushed his glasses on his face and said, "You are also very interested in this, Cecil."

"Yes." Cecil nodded.

"I forgot, Cecil, you are very knowledgeable about folklore and such things." Ito Cheng looked at Cecil through the mirror and said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't hurt to participate." Lakshatta, who was leaning on a red cushion, said nonchalantly.

"We will participate." Cornelia said on behalf of herself and Yuffie. \u003cIn addition, Ito Cheng, who all agreed to attend the ceremony, smiled slightly and once again accepted the clothes of the palace ladies with peace of mind.

"My lord, it's ready." After another minute or two, the three maids surrounding Ito Cheng stepped aside and said to Ito Cheng.

"Not bad." Ito Cheng looked at himself in the black Han Dynasty uniform in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. Then he turned and looked to the side, where the emperor Jiang Lihua and Kagura were also being served by two or three maids.

"We are also ready." Kaguraye, who held his right hand with the emperor's left hand, said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go." Ito Cheng stretched out his hands in front of him and said with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Kagura Ye and Jiang Lihua walked up to Ito Cheng, each holding one of Ito Cheng's palms, and walked slowly towards the Qianyuan Hall, surrounded by the maids in the palace and the eunuchs and guards guarding the outside.

Behind them, Cornelia, Euphemia, Lloyd, Lakshatta and Cecil also walked out of the palace. Go to Qianyuan Hall.

Just ten minutes later, Ito Cheng and his party arrived in front of the Qianyuan Hall and walked into the hall.

In the Qianyuan Hall at this time. In addition to all the third-grade and above officials in Luoyang City who were placed under house arrest by Ito Cheng for one night, there are also more than a dozen staff holding various instruments under the command of Diluchat. Record Ito Cheng's style and prepare to broadcast it to the world together with the Zen Ceremony that will be broadcast live on China Unicom.

"Welcome to His Majesty the Emperor!" The moment Ito Cheng, Jiang Lihua and Kagura entered the hall. All the Chinese Federation officials in the hall bent down to the ground and shouted respectfully.

Ito Cheng and Jiang Lihua did not speak. They just walked along the central wide path set aside by the ministers, walked step by step to the high platform, and walked up the nine-story high steps in the middle of the high platform.

It was only then that Ito Cheng turned around with Jiang Lihua and Kagura Ye and faced the ministers kneeling below. As well as standing aside, the ambassadors of various countries and Cornelia and others who were invited to Luoyang by the Minister of Rites.

Of course, the ministers and ambassadors from various countries naturally caused some commotion when they saw the appearance of Cornelia and Yuffie, but they also knew that now was not the time to make noises, so they put away the strangeness in their hearts. Quiet again and watch the abdication ceremony of the Emperor of the Chinese Federation.

"The live broadcast begins!" At the same time, Diluchat ordered in a low voice to the staff around him.

In an instant, the signals on all TV stations and radio stations in the entire Chinese Federation and Japan were cut off, and they were converted into text news and video footage about the abdication ceremony.

Similarly, after receiving calls from all parties, the television and radio stations of the Britannia Empire and EU also broadcast the news of the Chinese Federation's abdication ceremony.

"By the destiny of heaven, the emperor issued an edict, saying: I have ascended the throne since childhood..." At this time, the eunuch Tong Lun stepped forward and unfolded the imperial edict in his hand, in front of all the ministers, ambassadors and the TV audience around the world. Read it out loud.

"... I am not afraid of danger, and I specially followed the example of the three ancient emperors and abdicated the throne to Ito Cheng, in the hope that the family and country will be stable, the people will be prosperous, and the longevity of China will be extended! I admire this." After saying a lot of words eloquently, Tong Lun shouted loudly.

In fact, although the imperial edict contains a lot of content, it can be summarized in just a few sentences.

I have been emperor since I was a child, and it has been eight years now. However, during my reign, I have been unable to bring prosperity and stability to the people. I feel very ashamed in my heart. But recently I met a great sage and knew that he could lead the country to prosperity, so I decided to follow the example of the three ancient emperors and give up the throne to the other, hoping that the new emperor would stabilize the country, make the people rich, and continue Chinese civilization.

"The Emperor is a great virtue!" As soon as the imperial edict was read, the ministers knelt down and worshiped on the ground again, shouting in unison.

…

"Damn it!" Li Xingke, who was facing off against the Britannia army far away on the border of Inner Mongolia, fiercely squeezed the tea cup in his hand and cursed while looking at the picture on the TV.

Although he had long known that this day would come, when this day suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Xingke still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

"Sir, please calm down. The matter has reached this point and is irreversible. For the sake of the Emperor, we should think about how to repel the Brittanian army on the opposite side." An officer on the side sighed.

"I understand." Li Xingke let go of his hand, threw away the fragments of the teacup in his hand, and took a deep breath to calmly say.

Seeing that Li Xingke had calmed down again, the other officers looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Especially Kallen and Zhou Xianglin, who had seen Ito Cheng's magical methods and was promised by I Tocheng to recruit her into the palace to become his woman, were greatly relaxed. The two of them were really afraid that Li Xingke would ignore them just now. All the leading troops return to Luoyang!

The scene once again returns to the Qianyuan Hall in Zhu Forbidden City, Luoyang...

"Respectfully invite the new emperor!" Then, Tong Lun turned around and knelt down in front of Ito Cheng, shouting.

"Regards the new emperor." All the ministers shouted.

"I will definitely lead the Chinese Federation to stand at the top of the world for a long time!" Ito Cheng loudly promised the ministers. Then he stepped back and sat down on the jade throne that represented the supreme imperial power.

"I have met Your Majesty!" The ministers who had just straightened up prostrated themselves again.

Then, Tong Lun, who stood up again, once again pulled out a bright yellow imperial edict from the sleeves of his robe, unfolded it, and read it loudly to everyone.

The content of this imperial edict is relatively simple. It is to tell all the ministers and outsiders present that I, Ito Cheng, have ascended the throne, and the country's name is still "Zhonghua". The only change is that Ito Cheng's emperor's title is "Wuwei". . At the same time, Jiang Lihua, the former emperor of the Chinese Federation, and Emperor Kagura Ye, the only survivor of the original Japanese royal family, were appointed as their princesses, and they were married three days later.

"I declare that Japan will be officially incorporated into the Chinese Empire. From now on, we will be one country, regardless of each other!" After Tong Lun finished reading the imperial edict, Kagura Ye, who was sitting on the right hand side of Ito Cheng, stood up and walked to the edge of the high platform. , announced loudly.

At this point, the main content of the entire abdication ceremony has completely ended, and the banquet greetings have entered the process.

"Everyone, as a celebration of my ascension to the throne, I have a good show for everyone to watch." After the banquet reached a certain level, Ito Cheng raised his glass to everyone in the hall and said loudly.

After seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Ito Cheng turned his head and nodded to Diluchat who was standing not far away.

Upon seeing this, Diluchat immediately started giving instructions to the work around him.

Soon, a huge LCD screen was placed in front of the wall beside the Qianyuan Hall, driven by several imperial guards. Then the LCD screen flashed slightly, and a city scene appeared on the LCD screen.

"That's di du!?" The ambassador of the Brittanian Empire who came to watch the ceremony exclaimed with some uncertainty. Then he turned to look at Cornelia and Yuffie on the side to confirm whether his guess was correct.

"Yes, it's di du." Cornelia nodded and confirmed.

"What does this new emperor mean?" The other ambassadors and ministers who saw Cornelia's confirmation immediately started whispering in low voices.

"You must have guessed, yes, this is the capital of the Brittanian Empire, and the play I want to invite you to watch is there." Ito Cheng said to everyone who was whispering.

After saying that, he moved his palm hidden under the sleeve of his robe, and a special mobile phone appeared in his palm, and he pressed one of the buttons with his finger.

"Everyone, please take a look." Ito Cheng greeted as he pressed the button to put the receiver away again.

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Archangel suddenly appeared on the LCD screen.

"What is that!?" The ministers and ambassadors who saw the huge Archangel started making noise again. But before they could make any noise, the next change that appeared on the screen immediately choked the words in their throats completely.

On the LCD screen, the Archangel's tail missile launch port and the muzzles of the self-propelled Vulcan cannons around the ship were all opened, bombarding the capital of the Brittanian Empire.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..." In an instant, a clearly audible explosion roar came from the LCD screen. At the same time, a large amount of smoke and dust appeared on the screen, turning the originally clear picture into a gray one. .

Fortunately, this ash disappeared just as quickly as it appeared. It disappeared from the screen in a short while. However, it disappeared with the dust as well as the huge Archangel that was originally staying on the screen.

"Emperor Wuwei, you are declaring war! Declaring war!" Looking at the messy di du on the screen, Britannia's ambassador to the Chinese Federation pointed at Ito Cheng and shouted loudly. (To be continued.)
