Official Zhao paused for a moment and then spoke again.

"The new king's ascension to the throne is a top priority. You must be responsible for the defense and make sure there is no room for failure."

He knew that he lacked military experience, so the importance of employing people became prominent. Vice Commander Lu was promoted by the empress, so he was trustworthy.

Empress Dowager Dayu issued a martial law order that made the capital city almost breathless. There was complete silence and everything was calm.

The day of the coronation ceremony was a peaceful and sunny day.

"The Bauhinia star has indeed dimmed..."

Zhao Cuo sat on his horse and looked up at the sky.

The Sheji artifact that could be seen clearly day and night in the past has disappeared.

In the past few days, he had learned that the Bauhinia Star would "make way" when the new emperor ascended the throne.

"The Little Imperial Master and the Royal Heavenly Supervisor's Great Sacrifice Wine suppressed the Demon Locking City and they cannot move around. The power of the Bauhinia Star cannot be used. If there is a big turmoil, can the empress and I settle things down?"

Zhao Cuo closed his eyes and pondered for a long time. After calculating the time, he turned to look at Lu Jianming behind him and said calmly.

"Come with me and lead the troops into the palace to escort the new monarch to the ancestral hall to ascend the throne."

"As you command!"

Commander Zhao led two thousand imperial troops toward the palace in a mighty manner.

He had already deployed 3,000 soldiers to defend the ancestral hall.

In addition, more than 15,000 officers and soldiers are guarding and controlling the capital.

"Please invite the new king to ascend to the throne!"

When Zhao Cuo arrived outside the imperial city with his troops, all the civil and military officials were already in place. They were divided into two teams and stood outside the palace gate.

The officials in the capital who were grounded due to the ban were only allowed to go out to attend the coronation ceremony.

All kinds of eyes glanced at the powerful champion.

"Every official welcomes His Majesty the Emperor!"

The eunuch's sharp and loud voice came from the east door that gradually opened.

Zhao Cuo finally saw Prince Ning and his concubine, who could already be called the emperor, after a long absence.

Wearing a majestic five-clawed golden dragon crown, he sat on the royal sedan with an expressionless face, his eyes silent.

"I respectfully wish to greet you, Your Majesty."

The officials bowed their heads and bowed for the first time.

Young Master Zhao turned over and dismounted after they bent down.

His eyes met with Prince Ning, who was about to ascend to the throne of emperor.

"Zhao Cuo meets with His Majesty."

Zhao Cuo looked at the new emperor calmly.

His rudeness at this time can be classified as disrespectful.

But Prince Ning, who was already nominally supreme, avoided his sight.

"Your Majesty, please excuse me."

He said in a low voice.

The puppet emperor who was forced to take the throne seems to have accepted the reality.

In any case, he is just a puppet on strings without personal freedom, and his situation is stronger than that of a human being.

"All the officers and soldiers escorted His Majesty to the ancestral hall to inherit the throne."

Zhao mistakenly focused on the phoenix sedan behind the new emperor.

Princess Ning, who will soon be canonized as Queen, is on top.
