The fifth day of April.

A new king ascends the throne to rule the world.

Hundreds of officials entered the palace and faced Tianyan.

Before dawn, the palace was already crowded with people. The eunuchs were busy doing things, and the imperial guards all wore uniforms and were on guard with high spirits and joy.

On the palace gate.

The flag with the character "Han" is flying in the wind.

Soon after, civil and military officials gathered in front of the palace gate in sedans, carriages, or horses. They were fully dressed in court uniforms, official hats, and full of manners.

The grass-roots team cannot do this.

A country must pay attention to details.

The imperial guard responsible for opening the palace door waited nervously. When the time came, the palace door opened. The officials, led by the cabinet ministers, entered the palace and headed towards Deyang Palace.

Deokyangjeon is the place where the King of Goguryeo ascended the throne.

On both sides of the road stood the imperial guards and well-dressed Goguryeo eunuchs holding Buddha dust. After entering Deyang Palace, all civil and military officials were arranged neatly according to their shifts.

Soon after, Wu Nian, wearing a black royal robe with wide sleeves and a crown, surrounded by eunuchs, came to the throne and sat down.

Under Liu Zhixing's formulation, Wu Nian would wear various robes and crowns under various circumstances.

When the new king ascends the throne, he wears this outfit.

As Wu Nian sat down, the eunuch "sung" and all the civil and military officials knelt down to worship the king. After the ceremony, Wu Nian led all the civil and military officials and the prince Wu Yu to the outside of the city to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.

He officially succeeded to the throne as king, and his country was named Han.

Changed to Yuan Jianwu.

This year is the first year of Jianwu.

This ritual was very complicated, and it made the Wu family and his son feel like they were in a state of ecstasy. After they came back, Wu Nian was already exhausted and was much more tired than fighting.

After taking a cold bath, Wu Nian hugged Liu Xiang's fragrant body and fell asleep together on the dragon bed.

Three days after the new king ascended the throne.

Wu Nian then took the prince Wu Yu, the minister of rites Cui Wushuang and a few other officials from Jiangcheng to Beishan Fort.

This morning.

Wu Nian arrived at Beishan Castle. At the city gate, Wu Nian took Wu Yu out of the carriage and looked up at the castle.

The castle is still the same castle, but a flag with the Chinese character [Chinese] has been erected on the gate. There are many people greeting me in front of the gate.

Wu Nian turned to look at his son and said, "Son, ahead is Beishan Castle. This is where my father started his business."

"There are still many old memories of my father in the city."

"You grew up in fine clothing and good food. Being a father does not require you to endure hardships and stand hard work. But I do require you to remember the sufferings of your father's generation and don't forget them."

"The future of Han is yours. You have to learn how to steer the ship well."

"Yes." Wu Yu bowed his hands like a young adult.

There is nothing to say about your manners.

Wu Nian smiled and touched the back of his son's head, then took his son's hand and walked up.

"Meet the King."

Among the people who greeted him, Li Changyong, the leader of the Beishan Fort, led everyone to kneel down and salute Wu Nian.

Wu Nian quickly helped him up and said, "We are all fellow villagers from our hometown. There is no need to kneel down. Kill me."

As he spoke, Wu Nian raised his head and looked at everyone's faces. There were familiar faces and new faces.

After so many years, some people have died of old age and some have grown up.

But most of the people I know well can’t even name Wu Nian.

Only two people were recognized.

One is Zhang Chaoyong and the other is Wang Youjun.

The last time Wu Nian went home to worship his ancestors, he had a great chat with them.

"Old sir, are you eighty years old? It's great to see that you are still strong." Wu Nian came up and looked at the old and shabby Wang Youjun and said.

Wang Youjun needed his son's support to stand firm, but his ears were still sensitive. He nodded and said, "Eighty-two." Then he said happily: "Longevity is also a good thing."

"I can actually see the day when the king ascends the throne and becomes king. The ancestors of the Wu family will be very happy if they know this."

Wu Nian was not interested in ghosts and gods, but he was respectful to his ancestors. He smiled and echoed a few words, then spoke to Zhang Chaoyong and asked the names of everyone present.

No one was left out. Every old friend and fellow villager who spoke to Wu Nian had their faces glowing with pride and honor.

After chatting with his fellow villagers and old friends, Wu Nian first entered the palace in the city, which was the original residence of General Fu Han, and stayed there, and entertained his old friends with a banquet.

Those who met him at the city gate ate with him.

All other adult men in Beishan Fort can eat.

Wu Nian stayed at Beishan Fort for three days and ate for three days. He took Wu Yu with him, either climbing high to see distant places or revisiting old places.

He also went to the place where he killed the tiger. Wu Nian told his son about the past, how he raised the army, and his hatred with Ban Bian Zhang.

He also said that the Liaodong generals would destroy the country and the family, and the people would not be able to survive.

Wu Yu is currently studying, but there are many things that are not told to readers in books. Only by relying on one's own experience, the deeds of predecessors, and wisdom can one understand.

Wu Yu is very quiet and looks like a boudoir lady. But she is actually very wise and gained a lot from listening to her father's words.

This morning.

Under the auspices of Cui Wushuang, Wu Nian and his son took the old Beishan Fort and fellow villagers to climb the mountain to worship their ancestors. There used to be an ancestral hall on the mountain, but now the mountain was excavated and an underground palace was built inside.

Wu Nian's father and ancestors were reburied.

The tomb is very high, which is consistent with the current status of the Wu family.

It stands to reason.

The king can set up seven memorial tablets of his ancestors in the ancestral temple for worship and posthumously be named the King of Han. But Wu Nian only remembered the names of his father and grandfather.

Liu Zhixing suggested that Wu Nian could reconstruct the family tree and trace the Wu family back to the State of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Just like Zhuge Village in Goguryeo.

But Wu Nian refused.

Therefore, although there are seven tablets enshrined in the temple, only Wu Nian's father and ancestor have names and posthumous titles.

The process of sacrifice was as complicated as the enthronement. Wu Nian and his son were very tired. After the ceremony was over, Wu Nian and his son returned to Beishan Castle and had a banquet with their old friends and fellow villagers.

He stayed for another three days.

Returning home in splendor and fine clothes.

So much so that people from nearby castles or villages who had received the news, and people who had or had nothing to do with the Wu family, came to join in the fun one by one.

For these people, Wu Nian also entertained them as a landlord.

No one was left out.

Later, Wu Nian selected two people from the descendants of Zhang Chaoyong and Wang Youjun as sacrificial officials to offer sacrifices to the late king at all times.

He also exempted Beishanbao from taxes for ten years and provided compensation to the villagers.

My fellow villagers were naturally very happy after having feasted for so many days and being exempted from taxes for ten years. When Wu Nian left, everyone was reluctant to leave.

But there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever.

In the morning of this day, Wu Nian and his son got on the carriage and slowly left Beishan Fort with the officials and surrounded by guards.

A large number of villagers came to see the king off.

So far.
Chapter completed!
