Chapter 678 (1/2)
January 3, 292 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire.
Britannia Empire, pandragon, Baiyang palace, the emperor ascended the throne.
These three days, Su Cheng deeply experienced what is ”unexpected”.
Since gozewen announced to everyone that Ilsa would be replaced as the new crown prince, abdicated on January 3 and held a grand ceremony for the new emperor to ascend the throne, allowing Ilsa to ascend the throne and succeed to the 13th generation of britannian emperor.
From the meeting two days ago to now, Su Cheng feels that his consciousness is in a trance.
I've been wondering if I'm dreaming.
Su Cheng is sure that there are not a few people who have the same feelings as him these two days.
It all happened so suddenly.
Everything happened so fast.
Gail was removed from his throne without warning.
In 292, Ilsa, who was only 9 years old, was appointed as the new crown prince without warning.
At the end of the ceremony to ascend the throne, Ilsa will become the 13th emperor and the new queen of the British Empire.
At the meeting two days ago, gozewen explained to everyone why he wanted to remove Gail's crown prince.
However, he did not say it in detail, but vaguely said that he felt Gail was not suitable to be the head of a country, so he replaced the crown prince with Ilsa.
Gail and Ilsa, who were also present at time, did not overreact.
Gail was expressionless from beginning to end.
Ilsa kept her head down from beginning to end, making her expression invisible.
Presumably - both of them should have known about it before and acquiesced to it.
Su Cheng, who came to the emperor's accession ceremony early and waited for the ceremony to begin, raised his head and looked at the throne on the level 9 imperial steps in front of him. He whispered at a volume that only he could hear clearly:
”Ilsa... Are you going to succeed as Emperor... 9-year-old young emperor...”
Until now, the ceremony is about to begin. Su Cheng still can't accept this fact.
Su Cheng took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.
It's 14:32 p.m. on January 3, 292.
There are still 28 minutes before the beginning of the ceremony of accession to the throne.
Because it happened to be the year-end dinner in 291 three days ago, there are still many nobles and dignitaries who are located in and near the imperial capital.
At this time, the nobles and important officials who were qualified to participate in the grand ceremony of the emperor's accession to the throne near the imperial capital had almost arrived.
The grand ceremony of the emperor's accession to the throne was held in a hall in the Baiyang palace.
The vast and towering hall is mainly white and gold, solemn and solemn.
The long Danlong at the foot extends to the front. On the left side of Danlong are the important officials of the Empire and on the right side are the nobles of the Empire.
Above the nine imperial steps in the middle of the hall, only the emperor is qualified to sit on the throne.
After a while, Ilsa will sit on the throne, put on the supreme crown, take the imperial sword symbolizing the national military power, be crowned emperor, and become the new queen of the British Empire.
Just as Su Cheng was silently waiting for the beginning of the ceremony, a waiter suddenly sneaked up to his side and whispered to him:
”Mr. Cheng, I'm Mr. Jacob's man. Mr. Jacob wants to see you.”
”Mr. Jacob?” Su Cheng raised his eyebrows. ”OK, take me there.”
Although it was not clear what Jacob wanted to do with him at the critical moment when the accession ceremony was about to begin, Su Cheng still followed the waiter closely and followed the waiter to find Jacob.
