Chapter 436

"It is truly an eye-opener! Who would have thought that His Majesty's methods would be so heaven-defying!"

The five who had returned to the post station were now gathered together, recalling everything that had happened today.

At this time, Han Fu, who was playing with the identity jade token in his hand, couldn't help but sigh.

Subsequently, he said with a playful expression:

"Fortunately, we made the right choice. I really want to see the expressions of the other five in the future!"

Hearing this, the other four also nodded playfully, unable to help but reveal a look of anticipation.

"The Literary Dao cultivation method, the Martial Dao cultivation method—I never thought that in this world, there would truly be such fantasy-like things!"

At this time, Tao Qian, who was beside him, couldn't help but say after playing with the identity jade token in his hand for a while.

"Yes, it really is an eye-opener!"

After hearing Tao Qian's words, the other four also couldn't help but nod and echo.

"According to what the ministers said, if one cultivates to a profound level, one can even achieve immortality. I wonder if it's true?"

At this time, Liu Yu, who was thinking of the Martial Dao information introduced to them by Xun Yu and the others in the court, couldn't help but say to the four.

"This matter should be true. We have all seen His Majesty's methods. Do you think these methods are something that ordinary mortals can master?"

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Tao Qian couldn't help but analyze for them.

"Lord Tao is right. Just the methods His Majesty has shown so far are enough to shock us. Presumably, there are others we don't know about; after all, we have just joined."

As Tao Qian's voice fell, Kong Zhou also couldn't help but sigh.

Soon, the day of Liu Bian's grand wedding arrived. Early in the morning, the entire Luoyang City was already bustling.

Throughout Luoyang City, everywhere was full of celebration, and the common people all expressed their blessings for Liu Bian.

Soon it was time to hold the ceremony. At this time, in the Taihe Palace, Liu Bian sat high on the dragon throne.

Sitting on his left behind him was the Empress Diao Chan, wearing a red nine-phoenix robe.

On the right was Cai Yan, also wearing a red phoenix robe, but her phoenix robe was far less magnificent than Diao Chan's, and there were only five phoenixes.

The two women were dressed up today...

And in the position to the right in front of Liu Bian was Liu Bian's biological mother, Empress Dowager He Lian of the Han Empire.

At this time, the officials of the Han Empire were already waiting outside the Taihe Palace for Liu Bian's summons.

"His Majesty has a decree, proclaim the officials to see the Emperor!"

At this time, the gates of the Taihe Palace slowly opened, and Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng arrived outside and shouted to the officials.

As Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng's voice fell, the civil and military officials divided into two rows and walked into the Taihe Palace in an orderly fashion.

After everyone arrived at the hall and stood still, they knelt before Liu Bian on the high platform and shouted in unison:

"We, your subjects, pay our respects to Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Imperial Consort!"

"My dear ministers, rise!"

"My dear ministers, today is my grand wedding, you don't need to be overly formal, just take your seats."

Liu Bian said to the officials with a majestic voice.

"We, your subjects, thank Your Majesty!"

After the officials thanked him, they sat down at their respective seats.

After everyone sat down, the palace maids brought various exquisite dishes to the officials.

Moreover, many of them were things that everyone had never seen before.

These exquisite dishes were all kinds of delicacies Liu Bian had exchanged from the system mall, specifically asking the imperial chefs in the palace to learn them.

Moreover, the wine they drank was also Maotai that Liu Bian had exchanged from the system mall.

"It seems we are blessed today. It is truly worthy of His Majesty; we can drink such fine wine again!"

The moment he saw the Maotai, Guo Jia's eyes lit up.

Ever since he drank it at Cai Yong's manor last time, during this period, he had been unable to drink any other wine.

The wine of this period was not distilled, the wine looked a bit turbid, and the taste was relatively poor.

"Fengxiao, you drunkard, you are truly blessed today!"

At this time, Xun Yu, who was sitting above Guo Jia, couldn't help but tease after hearing his words.

Guo Jia's love for wine was something all the ministers of the imperial court knew.

Just as the two were teasing, Liu Bian, who was sitting above, spoke in a majestic voice.

"Li Liangcheng, read the imperial decree I prepared to the ministers!"

"This servant obeys the decree!"

Hearing this, Li Liangcheng immediately took out Liu Bian's imperial decree and read it to the officials.

"The Emperor summons: From this day forward, confer upon Diao Chan the title of Empress of my Han Empire, in charge of the imperial harem."

"Cai Yan, daughter of Cai Yong, has outstanding literary talent and has deeply won my heart; confer upon Cai Yan the title of Consort Yan!"

After hearing this, Diao Chan and Cai Yan immediately stood up and bowed gracefully to Liu Bian:

"This subject thanks Your Majesty!"

"Empress, Consort Yan, no need for formalities, rise!"

"We, your subjects, pay our respects to the Empress and Consort Yan!"

At this time, the officials who heard Liu Bian's decree also bowed and cupped their fists to Empress Diao Chan and Consort Yan Cai Yan.

Cai Yan, seeing such a scene, was still a little flustered, while Diao Chan was not shy at all and said to the officials with authority:

"My dear ministers, rise!"

"Thank you, Empress, Consort Yan!"

After seeing Diao Chan's performance, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction; she was worthy of being the Empress he had chosen.

"This old minister Yang Biao wishes Your Majesty, the Empress, and Consort Yan eternal life and boundless longevity!"

After the conferment ceremony was completed, Yang Biao immediately stood up and blessed Liu Bian.

Because Liu Bian had said in advance that there was no need to prepare gifts, the officials had not prepared any for this wedding.

They also knew that at present, they didn't have anything worth presenting.

They had agreed to Liu Bian's request, but the most basic blessings were still necessary.

After Yang Biao started, the officials also stood up one after another to offer sincere blessings.

However, two people brought gifts. When it was Xun Yu's turn, he slowly took out a piece of cloth from his bosom and opened it; it was full of names and red handprints.

"Your Majesty, this is the Ten Thousand People's Petition spontaneously organized and written by the common people of Sili after hearing about Your Majesty's grand wedding today, to congratulate Your Majesty on your grand wedding!"

Seeing Xun Yu take out the Ten Thousand People's Petition, he shouted excitedly.

Hearing this, the officials' expressions also became excited, and they looked at Liu Bian excitedly.

"Hahaha, good, good, good. This is the best gift I have received."

Hearing this, Liu Bian was also a little excited and immediately laughed and said.

Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng walked quickly to Xun Yu, took the Ten Thousand People's Petition from his hand, and respectfully presented it to Liu Bian.

After seeing the Ten Thousand People's Petition taken out by Xun Yu, Tian Feng, the Inspector of Liangzhou, also stood up and took out a piece of cloth similar to Xun Yu's from his bosom.

"Your Majesty, the common people of Liangzhou, hearing of Your Majesty's grand wedding, also wrote a Ten Thousand People's Petition to express their blessings to Your Majesty!"

Tian Feng, who opened the Ten Thousand People's Petition, also said excitedly to Liu Bian.
