Chapter 468 Hello, hey, hey! I'm the Queen Mother. Who are you?
The sixth day of March is the day when the new emperor takes power and the whole country celebrates.
Zhou Chenghao was going to ascend the Xiantai, surrounded by civil and military officials, to offer sacrifices to heaven and thank the gods, and inform his ancestors about his personal rule.
Of course, Queen Mother Shi Li cannot avoid such a big thing.
You have to get up early and dress up, and put on the most heaviest and gorgeous clothes and jewelry.
This is also something that cannot be done.
Shi Li sat in front of the bronze mirror and sighed. She had not slept well the night before and her face looked a little haggard.
Xin Tang knew the reason and could not comfort her, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
The weather was fine. When Zhou Chenghao was offering sacrifices to heaven, Shi Li and Zhou Youning stood very close to him.
Not far below were Qi Changchuan and Su Taifu.
Taifu Su was very pleased to see Zhou Chenghao take power with his own eyes, and his face even had a faint blush.
If you don’t know, you might think he is the one who will take power.
After Zhou Chenghao completed a series of procedures step by step, the emperor and his ministers were finally able to return to the palace.
All the court officials bowed before Zhou Chenghao.
Zhou Chenghao sat high up on the throne, his eyes slowly swept across Shi Li and Zhou Youning on one side, and then looked at Qi Changchuan who stood at the head of all officials.
"In recent years, the barbarians in the southern region have not dared to invade, thanks to General Qi's defense."
As soon as the new emperor opened his mouth, the court officials were immediately filled with shock.
People were speculating whether the new emperor was finally going to start the reckoning.
After all, Qi Changchuan had 300,000 troops under his command and his achievements were greater than those of his master.
A while ago, he led a group of his subordinates to fly kites outside the palace. It was normal that he behaved eccentrically and was feared by the new emperor.
Even Shi Li silently clenched her fingers hidden under her wide sleeves.
Before she had time to get nervous, Zhou Youning reached out a hand and gently tugged at her sleeve, suggesting that she should be at ease.
Looking at Zhou Youning's calm expression, Shi Li felt a little relieved.
"It is my duty, and I am not worthy of your majesty's praise."
Qi Changchuan had an indifferent expression, unperturbed by praise or criticism, as if he had no idea that Zhou Chenghao was going to attack him.
On the contrary, Master Su, who was standing next to him, showed a barely visible glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes.
I thought that no matter how great Qi Changchuan's achievements were, he still couldn't win the hearts of the people.
No emperor could tolerate a person like him, who was sitting in the imperial capital with a large army and watching closely.
Afterwards, Zhou Chenghao stood up and walked in front of Qi Changchuan.
He was half a head shorter than Qi Changchuan, and his aura was not as strong as Qi Changchuan's, but he gradually revealed a different kind of open-mindedness.
"General Qi, I leave the future of the Southern Territory in your hands."
Zhou Chenghao said these shocking words in the calmest voice, and took out the tiger talisman with his hands behind his back.
That is... a token of control over 300,000 troops.
There were originally two, one in Qi Changchuan's hand and the other in the palace.
But now, he wants to give both tiger talismans to Qi Changchuan?
Everyone present was stunned.
Especially Master Su, looking at the scene in front of him, he could hardly breathe, his eyes were as big as copper bells.
Qi Changchuan was the only person present who remained calm and unperturbed.
Looking at Zhou Chenghao's serious expression, he bent his knees slightly and took the tiger talisman handed to him by the emperor himself.
The sound is as steady as a rock that has not moved for thousands of years.
"I will not let your majesty down, nor will I let Daxian down."
The tiger talisman completely fell into Qi Changchuan's hands.
There was complete silence in the palace.
The ministers watched this scene unfold with their own eyes, and their understanding of Zhou Chenghao deepened.
Although the new emperor was young, his trust in his important ministers really moved the upright people.
A gentleman will die for his friend, and many court officials felt infinite lofty ambitions in their hearts at this moment.
The only one who looked unhappy was Master Su.
Zhou Chenghao suddenly did this, obviously he had been prepared for it, and Qi Changchuan was not at all surprised.
The two had been acting in front of him before.
He was actually deceived by two brats! ?
"Also, there is one more thing."
Zhou Chenghao didn't even look at Master Su, but turned directly to Shi Li and walked towards her and Zhou Youning step by step.
