The ceremony is over.
But things will not end so abruptly, and the ministers of various departments will not completely accept the fact that the new emperor has ascended the throne just because of temporary pressure.
The fact is that in order to pursue time and efficiency, Xu Tianran simplified many procedures when he ascended the throne, and cut the Gordian knot by getting things done beforehand.
Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin had already received the meeting, and the prime minister, the minister of science and technology, the minister of finance, the minister of mining and other core department ministers had also been informed. These few important ministers were the calmest group in the hall square before, and it was because of their silence that everything was temporarily calm.
There were still a large number of important officials who did not know in advance that His Majesty was going to abdicate the throne to the eldest son who had not even inherited the position of crown prince.
For example, there are three beast king-level soul guide leaders in the National Guard, a large number of local provincial governors, etc.
After the ceremony, Xu Tianran wanted to minimize the impact of the turmoil on the country, so he had to stabilize them one by one, promoting those who should be promoted and demoting those who should be demoted.
First of all, there are the leaders of the four beast king-level soul guide groups.
…
The four beast king soul mentors are Emperor Dragon Xu Tianyuan, Fire Phoenix Luanfeng, Evil King Wang Yiheng, and Terror Claw Liao Mengkai.
These four people are not only top-level ninth-level soul masters, but also military generals. Their soul power has almost reached the maximum level of soul masters, level ninety-four, and they have a huge influence in the empire.
The leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group, Xu Tianyuan, is the strongest and is born into a royal family, a prince of the royal clan; the leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group, Luanfeng, has the highest seniority and the longest experience, and has a deep connection with Ye Yulin; Liao Mengkai is a centrist, who is well-behaved but always cautious.
Only Wang Yiheng was Kong Deming's student, so he was considered half his senior.
Xu Tianran first stabilized the four people by promising them unchanged status, preferential treatment, and priority supply of resources.
As he controls the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Mining, he also controls the allocation of resources across the country, especially the Soul Guide Corps that relies on logistical supplies and personnel replenishment. These words slightly calmed the four people's restless hearts.
Xu Tianran met with Xu Tianyuan alone and said with a smile, "Brother Wang, you and I both have the surname Xu. No matter how many times the throne changes hands, our bloodline remains unchanged. I only want the throne and will not deprive any royal family member of their property who has not attacked me. The Sun Moon Empire and the other three kingdoms cannot remain peaceful forever. When the time comes, who else can I rely on except my own family?"
"Among the heirs of the royal family, only you and I possess the Purple Brilliant Heavenly Dragon Slayer Martial Spirit. Based on this alone, I will never waste your talent. From this day forward, your title will be elevated to that of a prince."
A strange light flashed in Xu Tianyuan's eyes, and he silently lowered his head to express his gratitude.
The Sun and Moon Royal Family has two inherited martial spirits, both of which are extremely powerful, one is the Sun, and the other is the Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon.
The probability of these two kinds of martial spirits appearing is extremely rare, one in a hundred or a thousand. Most of the royal family members do not have these two kinds of martial spirits.
After all, an advanced country like the Sun Moon Imperial Palace would not violate human ethics and marry within the country. Once they marry outsiders, their martial souls will mutate or go wrong.
The more powerful the martial spirit, the rarer it is. This is a theorem. Even direct descendants find it difficult to fully inherit their father's martial spirit.
This has led to the fact that over the years, if either of these two martial spirits appears, the position of royal heir is almost certain; unless the inheritance is too far away, the person can still be reused.
Xu Tianran has this advantage.
Xu Tianyuan has the Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon spirit, but he is no longer a close royal family member. However, because of this spirit, he was still crowned king by the retired emperor and given the rank of 'Heaven'.
Therefore, Xu Tianyuan had a very good impression of the retired emperor. After the retired emperor suddenly announced his abdication, he was very shocked for a while.
However, Xu Tianran was the eldest son of the emperor after all, and had the same martial soul as him, so his bloodline was purer and there was no problem legally. Xu Tianran did not treat the emperor harshly, so he did not lead the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group to rebel in the end.
Xu Tianran saw through what he was thinking at a glance, took a step forward, suddenly grabbed his hands, and helped the burly man up.
"My brother, are you abandoning me and our land? The Emperor has retired to Daming Palace, but the land remains! Without you, how can the royal family stand firm and face the turbulent storms of the future?"
"The Empire has two pillars of strength: the Imperial Soul Instructor Corps and the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps. Without you, I wouldn't even have the confidence to speak!"
Xu Tianyuan suddenly looked up, shock flashing in his eyes.
His shoulders trembled as he felt a heavy responsibility suddenly fall on him.
But he is not at all opposed.
He never expected that such great praise and trust would come from the mouth of this cousin who was originally cold-hearted.
It seems that he has changed after the palace coup.
He is the victim.
The final struggle faded, and Xu Tianyuan bowed deeply, kowtowed, and said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, your words are so heavy! I cannot accept them... From now on, I only wish to lead the horse by Your Majesty's side and protect our country forever."
Xu Tianran had a sincere and happy smile on his face, and immediately helped this much older cousin up.
Get one.
…
Apart from the Royal Soul Instructor Corps, the most powerful Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps can be dealt with, and the rest will not be difficult.
Xu Tianran, the leader of the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Group, bound Wang Yiheng to the friendship of a fellow apprentice, praised him generously, secretly promised him the position of Grand Duke in the future, and rewarded him with a waist badge that would allow him to enter the palace and speak directly at any time, which deeply moved this upright brother.
Luanfeng, the leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group, is an old woman. She is about the same age as Ye Yulin, who is among the top three ninth-level Soul Instructors, and is over a hundred years old. Xu Tianran knows very well that the methods he used to deal with Xu Tianyuan and Wang Yiheng seemed too immature to her. If he performed too much, the old woman would think he was too fake.
So let's just talk about reality.
All members of the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Corps are women. Xu Tianran promised that in the next ten years, he would promote at least three members of the corps to important positions in the court to improve the disadvantages of female soul mentors in the court. He also allowed her to select suitable female soul mentors from across the country to join the Soul Mentor Corps, with the highest priority, higher than Mingde Hall and the Imperial Academy of Sciences.
There aren't many female soul guides anyway, so you just have to agree to everything first.
Luanfeng was very happy and was very satisfied with her impression of the new emperor Xu Tianran.
He smiled and left the side hall of Taiji Palace.
The last person was Liao Mengkai, the leader of the Terrorclaw Soul Mentor Group. Xu Tianran adopted a proper attitude to appease him, neither being overly enthusiastic nor too cold.
Liao Mengkai is a shrewd centrist. No matter how many things are promised, it is difficult to get a glimpse of his true thoughts. The other four Beast King Soul Instructor Groups have been won over, and the funds and mining resources are also in his control. All he needs to do is to place a deputy leader in the Terror Claw Soul Instructor Group in the future, and all the problems will be solved.
…
After dealing with the central departments and other military generals, Xu Tianran was not in a hurry to meet with the governors of various regions.
Compared with the central minister of the imperial court, the governor at the local level is easier to control.
He first cooled down his restless desire to make progress.
I met some old acquaintances first.
The foreign delegation, Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Xingluo Empire, Princess Vina of the Tianhun, as well as Qian Duoduo, the deputy dean of Shrek's Soul Guidance Academy, and another person who seemed to be the leader of Shrek's inner courtyard, Zhang Lexuan.
