Chapter 249.1
Just then, someone shouted, The auspicious hour has come. The opening ceremony officially begins!
Lin Beifan led the guests out of the hall, and then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he ascended the T step by step.
Under the presiding of Li Linfu, they offered sacrifices to the heavens!
Sacrifices to the earth!
Sacrifices to the ancestors!
It was solemn and grand!
During this process, the sky changed and turned dark as the ethereal clouds gathered and blocked out the sunlight.
Then, at that moment, a crack appeared in the clouds.
The dazzling sunlight shone through this gap, falling right onto the Altar of Heaven, casting Lin Beifan in a light as if the Emperor of Heaven had descended.
The people exclaimed in amazement.
Another auspicious sign!
This is Heavens approval of His Majesty, thus bestowing an auspicious sign!
Our Emperor is the true Son of Heaven!
In fact, this wasnt the first time they had seen such an auspicious sign.
Heaven had once bestowed an auspicious sign when the Great Xia dynasty was founded, causing a worldwide sensation.
Then, in the following year, this auspicious sign confirmed everything!
Great Xia enjoyed favorable weather for crops, peace, and security, developing at an incredible speed into an empire.
Now that an Empire has been established and auspicious signs descended from the heavens again, doesnt this indicate that
The Heaven still recognized their Emperor!
In the future, they would still be under Heavens protection!
The common people went crazy!
Long live the Emperor!
Long live Great Xia!
The guests attending the ceremony watched all these events unfold with great astonishment and curiosity.
Here it comes again could it be that Great Xia is truly blessed by the heavens?
Since ancient times, there has never been such a miraculous sight when other sovereigns established empires!
The facts have proven that Great Xia truly deserves these auspicious omens! Look at the past year, what has happened to Great Xia? They avoided the Ice Disaster, the locust plague and enjoyed favorable weather all year round, with the nation prospering and the people living in peace!
Yes, their smooth sailing of this year is enviable indeed!
Watching everyones reactions, Lin Beifan secretly smiled.
Of course, he had orchestrated all this, aiming to bewitch the people and strengthen his rule.
Time for another thrilling surprise.
Moments later, the common people screamed again.
Look, what is that?
Why are there so many black dots flying rapidly towards us?
Theyre getting closer!
Everyone noticed that the dense black dots approaching were flocks of birds.
They flew over the imperial city, then began to circle counterclockwise and form a huge ring around the Altar of Heaven.
The common people were shocked once more and went wild with excitement.
This the birds are paying homage to the phoenix!
Even the birds are moved by the heavens to come and bestow blessings!
Long live the Emperor! Long live Great Xia!
These birds flew together for the duration of a cup of tea before scattering away in different directions.
Yet, this scene would remain eternally in the hearts of the people who witness it.
At this point, all the procedures had been completed, so Lin Beifan solemnly announced to everyone: From today onwards, the Great Xia Dynasty shall be renamed the Great Xia Empire, and I shall be the first Emperor of the Great Xia Empire!
May Great Xia prosper forever, its legacy enduring through thousands of generations!
May Great Xia remain strong, its might echoing across all seas and lands!
Everyone joined in the chanting.
May Great Xia prosper forever, its legacy enduring through the ages!
May Great Xia remain strong, its might echoing across all seas and lands!
The grand ceremony to establish the Empire ended amidst a wave of astonishment.
Afterward, Lin Beifan entertained guests from all quarters within the imperial palace with fine wines and delicacies and performances by court singers, creating a lively atmosphere.
It was then that everyone realized that although Great Xia had only just established its empire, it already possessed the depth of an empire.
The food and drink they were enjoying were beyond what typical empires could offer.
Take the fruit, for example; other empires could only provide seasonal fruits, about five or six varieties, but Great Xia could offer dozens of kinds.
There were also dozens of varieties of wine, many of which couldnt be bought outside.
Rich and delicious, they were unforgettable.
As the ruler of the Great Xia Empire, Lin Beifan, who possessed all this, was truly fortunate.
Everyone, please relax and dont be shy. I toast to all of you! Lin Beifan raised his glass.
Thank you, Your Majesty! Everyone raised their glasses in response.
After finishing the drink, Lin Beifan waved his hand with a smile and said, Continue the music, continue the dance!
Then, the beautiful singers entered to perform, and everyone was engrossed in the feast of delicacies and the captivating show.
During this time, Mo Yuyan couldnt take her eyes off Lin Beifan as if trying to see through him.
Just then, Chai Yuxin, who was sitting beside him, turned and whispered to Lin Beifan, Your Majesty, look at that woman, Mo Yuyan. Shes been staring at you the whole time! I feel like shes up to no good
Dont be surprised, its quite normal! Lin Beifan said calmly.
Normal? What do you mean? Chai Yuxin was confused.
Lin Beifan said with a hint of arrogance, Under the heavens, theres no woman who doesnt fall for my peerless handsome appearance! Its normal for her to admire me, she has good taste!
Shameless! Chai Yuxin muttered under her breath before sitting back down.
Little did they know Mo Yuyan had a knack for eavesdropping and had heard their entire conversation.
She also muttered quietly, Shameless!
Then she turned her head away, no longer looking at him.
