Chapter 1262 1 King 1 Lords
Xu Yubei smiled and said, "You have never worn women's clothes. The person who made the dress may not know that you are a woman and just think you are a boy. Aren't there many people outside who call you the fourth son of the Xu family?"
Xu Sibei also said: "This is great, very handsome. What about the crown? Put it on. The ceremony is about to begin. We have to stand in front of the civil and military officials. We can't make a fool of ourselves."
Zhou Guo was not very willing to wear it, "This thing is so heavy, can't it be made of cloth?"
Xu Sibei laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't want to talk about whether this cloth can be made. Even if it can be made, can it be seen?"
The crown was finally put on. Zhou Guo looked at the beads in front of him and shook them. There was a crackling sound, which was quite pleasant to hear.
The auspicious time arrived, and they went out, following Xu Xiushan, who was in charge of the imperial robes and gowns, and walked towards the platform step by step.
Behind them were the founding generals, and behind the founding generals were the civil officials, with the Yulin Guards, who were composed of Xu's army, guarding both sides.
Zhou Guo looked at the tall figure in front of her, and her eyes drifted to the Xu brothers around her. She was puzzled for a moment. When did she stand so tall?
It seems that she is standing taller than her uncle.
But Zhou Dacang fought his way to the top with every move, what about her?
This ceremony was so boring. They were kneeling on the ground and the only voice in the entire venue was the MC's voice. At the beginning, she could still hear a few words, but she ran away after not paying much attention.
The kneeling posture needs to be upright and you cannot move at all during the entire process, which also takes a long time. It would be really hard to endure without some careful thinking.
It was unknown how long it had passed. As the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth came to an end, Xu Xiushan stood up, holding the imperial seal, and faced the courtiers. The civil and military officials cheered, "Long live our emperor! Long live our emperor! Long live our emperor..."
Zhou Guo shouted loudly, it really feels like a dream!
……
From then on, Xu Xiushan officially proclaimed himself emperor, named the country Dasheng, and the reign title Yongchang.
General amnesty, and special punishment!
The imperial edict was announced to the whole world.
The first thing Xu Xiushan did after becoming emperor was to reward his meritorious ministers.
Xu Xiushan had only one wife, and the old lady who gave birth to three legitimate sons was naturally named queen.
The eldest son Xu Xiaobei was made crown prince and moved into the Eastern Palace.
The second son, Xu Yubei, was named Prince Jing.
The third son, Xu Sibei, was named King of Chu.
Zhou Guo was extremely envious when she heard that both of her brothers were given the title of prince. Being a prince sounded so powerful and majestic, but unfortunately, she could only be a princess.
Why is it that she is not a man?
Even if she is the eldest princess, the only one, it sounds like she doesn't have as much freedom as a prince.
She sighed inwardly.
"Xu Anbei, daughter of the Xu family, titled, first-class prince, Prince of Yan."
Zhou Guo was stunned and looked up at Xu Xiushan!
Xu Xiushan's eyes were full of smiles and he nodded slightly at her. How could he not know what this child likes? Since she likes it, then give it to her, just a prince.
Xu Sibei's face was full of smiles. He also contributed to this matter.
Xu Xiaobei and Xu Yubei had no objection. According to Zhou Guo's contributions, she deserved the title of prince!
Zhou Dacang was almost as shocked as Zhou Guo. He never thought that Zhou Guo would be named a prince in the end!!!
But thinking about it, it seemed to make sense. She was already listed in the Xu family's genealogy, and she had always been walking around as a man, so it seemed more appropriate for her to be crowned a prince than a princess.
All the civil and military officials in the hall were in an uproar. How could a woman be conferred the title of prince? Where did this come from?
There has never been such a rule throughout history!
Someone boldly said, "Your Majesty, this cannot be done. Throughout history, there has never been a rule for a woman to be made a prince. This is not decent. If this gets out, people all over the world will laugh at it!"
Xu Xiushan smiled, "There has never been such a person before, but there will be one in the future. She sat on this position by virtue of her own ability. If you can find one among you whose achievements can compare with hers, I will also make him a prince. Is there anyone like him?"
The smile didn't reach his eyes.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to stand up and speak, really no one.
Xu Xiushan said calmly: "I founded the Great Sheng, and from now on the rules I set will be the rules of the Great Sheng!"
The meaning is self-evident.
None of the ministers dared to speak. This was the founding emperor, and he had conquered the world bit by bit.
Zhou Guo stepped forward, threw up his robe, knelt straight, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I obey your order. Thank you very much, Father!"
He kowtowed hard.
Xu Xiushan smiled and said, "No hurry."
Signal the person next to you to continue reading.
"The daughter of the Zhou family, Zhou Guo, is outstanding in ability, wise and brave. She has made indelible contributions to the founding of our country, Dasheng. I am hereby granted the title of Marquis of Beiping!"
Zhou Guo: “…”
There is also a Marquis here!
Oh, then doesn’t she have two identities?
All together, it's bigger than my brother's, haha...
Even Xu Sibei and the others had not expected this. They stared at Xu Xiushan blankly, not understanding why he would do that.
Zhou Dacang couldn't suppress the smile on his face. Guoguo was still so young, maybe she could move up in career. By then, with this status, she might even become a big shot, and their Zhou family would be rich.
The ministers were extremely shocked, but no one dared to say anything. He had already been conferred the title of prince, so what was a marquis? It was his own thing anyway.
Zhou Guo's eyes lit up, he kowtowed three times, and said loudly: "Your Highness Zhou Guo obeys your order, long live the emperor!"
Xu Xiushan said to her: "Father gave you this title because you deserve it. Work hard."
“Yes!!” Zhou Guo stood up and retreated to Xu Sibei’s side, beaming with joy. She was the Prince of Yan and the Marquis of Beiping, hahahaha…
Xu Sibei found her expression very funny and whispered, "Are you so happy?"
Zhou Guo whispered, "I thought I would be named a princess, but I didn't expect to be a prince like you. Hehe, prince sounds better."
Not only that, Zhou Guo was also granted the title of marquis. If she worked hard in the future, she would be more than a marquis. This was what she heard from Xu Xiushan's words just now.
Xu Sibei chuckled and said, "We don't have any actual fiefdoms, only fiefdoms."
Zhou Guo said: "That's better."
"Ahem!" Xu Yubei next to them reminded the two that this was not the right occasion and they should shut up.
The two stopped talking.
The rewards are still continuing.
……
"Zhou Dacang, for his outstanding contributions and remarkable military achievements, is specially conferred the title of Duke of England!"
The Zhou family had one duke and one marquis, and became the family that gained the most in the court.
But not many people talked about it.
This time, all those who followed Xu Xiushan out of the north were rewarded, big or small. Although not as much as the Zhou family, they were already very satisfied.
After all, they cannot compare with others in terms of achievements. They are already very satisfied with their current status. After all, maybe they can be promoted in the future?
The imperial edict announced to the world that the Zhou family had become the top noble family in the capital!
People who wanted to propose marriage to Zhou Dacang lined up from one end of the capital to the other.
Zhou Guo was annoyed in Zhou Da Cang's mansion and ran back to his Marquis' Mansion in a hurry. However, he found that it was no use going back to the Marquis' Mansion because there were so many people outside, much more than in Zhou Da Cang's Duke's Mansion.
He had no choice but to return to his own Prince Yan's Mansion.
The Prince of Yan’s Mansion is well guarded outside and there is no one around.
No one dared to surround Prince Yan's palace.
