Chapter 18: Ascension

  Online Game: Three Kingdoms Era

  As soon as I entered the game and just lifted the commission from Lü Bu, I was transported to the imperial palace.

  Many officials had already prepared, just waiting for me to ascend the throne. Several small eunuchs helped me put on the yellow robe and wear the golden crown. Following the guidance of the official in charge of etiquette, I stepped up step by step from the platform in front of me.

  On the way, there were silent ministers standing on both sides, and people kneeling in the distance. I felt as if a wind was rising. Looking up at the sky again, clouds were indeed surging. The yellow robe fluttered in the wind, and I stepped step by step towards the top.

  At last, I arrived at the high platform, turned around, and looked at the countless living beings. The voices of "Long live my emperor, long live for ten thousand years" came from near and far.

  System prompt, player Zhang Haogu officially ascended to the throne and became the Emperor of the Great Han Empire. Then I was also rewarded with two 10+ skills "Shaking the Four Directions" and "The World Returns to Heart". These two skills are exclusive to the Emperor.

  Intimidating Presence: NPC armies dare not invade their own nation. Level 10+.

  People's hearts return: People within the borders live and work in peace and contentment, with a rising satisfaction rate.

  At this time, Huangmen asked me to determine the candidate for the prime minister, and I chose Zhuge Liang without hesitation.

  The Huangmen officer asked me again to confirm the candidate for the position of Grand Marshal, and I chose Sima Hui without hesitation.

  Huang Meng again asked me to confirm the candidate for the great general, and I chose Zhuge Dan without hesitation.

  As for the other officials, I chose to let the prime minister arrange them.

  The Huangmen officer again had me confirm the governors of each province.

  My hometown Qingzhou, of course, has been taken care of by my good brother Zhuge Zhan.

  My former territory of Xuzhou has been assigned to Sun Shangxiang, who is diligent and hardworking.

  My former territory of Yan Province was given to my replacement Cao Cao.

  My former territory of Yu Province was given to my substitute Liu Bei.

  Of course, both states had also been controlled by Cao Cao and Liu Bei in history.

  The plains of Ji Province I have assigned to the former Governor of Pingyuan, Liu Bei, as territory of Yu Province.

  Nanpi of Hebei Province, I drew it for the original Nanpi Governor Cao Cao, as the territory of Yanzhou.

  Then Yuan Shao was appointed as the Governor of Ji Province for delivering the letter at the risk of his life.

  Gongsun Zan was appointed as the Governor of Youzhou.

  Ding Yuan was appointed as the Governor of Ping Province.

  Ma Teng was appointed as the Governor of Liangzhou.

  Zhang Lu was enfeoffed by me as "Wudou Tian Shi" and possessed the land of Hanzhong in Yi Province.

  Yongzhou temporarily cannot find a person to seal, so I will take charge of it like Sili.

  The Huangmen officer again asked me to confirm the candidates for the Xunhai Envoy and the Xunyi Envoy, and like in Yongzhou, I chose to leave them vacant.

  The Huangmen officer asked me if I wanted to arrange other official positions, and I chose not to arrange them.

  The eunuch asked if there was anything else, and I originally thought of choosing none. Suddenly, a thought occurred to me, and I decided to marry Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang.

  "System Announcement: Emperor Zhang Hao of the Great Han has bestowed marriage upon Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang. The Imperial Marriage System has been activated."

  "System Announcement: Liu Bei has accepted the imperial marriage bestowed by the Emperor of Great Han and his level has risen by 10 levels."

  "System Announcement: Sun Shangxiang has accepted the imperial marriage bestowed by the Emperor of Great Han and her level has risen by 10 levels."

  "System Announcement: As the Great Han Emperor possesses 80% Double Reward function, all NPCs within the Great Han territory now possess 80% Double Reward."

  "System Announcement: Liu Bei receives double rewards, level increased by 10 levels."

  "System Announcement: Sun Shangxiang is receiving double rewards, level increased by 10 levels."

  I disregarded the grand ceremony and burst out laughing. The officials at the gate and all the ministers looked at each other in dismay.

  Actually, Liu Bei is secondary, Sun Shangxiang leveled up 20 levels, now she has level 245. My private army will be much more powerful from now on."

  The Huangmen officer asked me again if I had anything else, and I said no.

  The official asked me, "Should we change the national title?" I thought for a moment and decided to change it after all. The great Han emperor shouldn't have the surname Liu; if word gets out, people will laugh at us. But what should we change the national title to? Since the Tang Dynasty was the most prosperous in later generations, let's change the national title to "Tang".

  The official announced that Zhang Haoke, the Emperor of Great Han, changed the national title to "Tang", and from then on, Zhang Haoke became the Emperor of Great Tang.

  The official asked me to change the era name again, I think it's better to just use my own name.

  Thus 180 AD became the first year of the Gōnguī era.

  The official asked me if I wanted to move the capital. I think moving the capital will break the pot, besides, everything in Luoyang is already ready, and I'm too lazy to move. At this time, I suddenly heard my sister say: "After moving the capital, we can develop the new city, and the original capital will still be the scale of the capital."

  As soon as I heard about this advantage, of course, I wanted to move the capital, so I decided to move the capital to Chang'an.

  Just as the master of ceremonies was about to announce the end of the ceremony, I waved my hand and interrupted him: "From now on, allocate money from the national treasury, and when players enter the game, directly issue equipment and put it on them without having to pick it up."

  "System Announcement: By order of the Tang Emperor Zhang Haogu, new players will be directly given equipment and have it equipped on their person. No need to go collect it anymore."

  The master of ceremonies finally announced the end of the ceremony. I went straight to the imperial palace in Chang'an. Because the capital had just been moved, the scale of the imperial palace here was still very small.

  As expected, just like what was said on the forum, I can only move around within the palace now. If I want to go out, I won't be able to use teleportation and will have to rely on being carried by a royal sedan chair instead. Can't help but feel a wry smile in my heart: with gain comes loss indeed.

  I originally wanted to entrust this identity to the system to play Gu Hao Zhang, but suddenly remembered that I can find NPCs to do tasks. Anyway, there's nothing else to do, so let's go and do some tasks first.

  At this time, I was ordered by Huangmen Guan to transmit the imperial edict. Chancellor Zhuge Liang met with the Emperor.

  Before long, Zhuge Liang appeared in the imperial palace. After entering, he kept reporting many things to me. Fortunately, I had just ascended to the throne and still hoped to manage it well, and Zhuge Liang spoke with reason, so I didn't get bored listening to him.

  For this professional who serves as the prime minister, I trust him to the bone, so in the end all the ideas are his. Then I start to receive tasks from him.

  Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang said to me: "Your Majesty, all tasks have been completed by me."

  Then came the annoying male voice with a string of reward sounds.

  I am thoroughly desperate and have no choice but to seek help from Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, after I ascended the throne, I was locked in here and couldn't get out. Even the transmission of messages is not possible. Is there any good solution?"

  "Minister Zhuge said with a sigh: 'I actually have a good plan, but I'm afraid Your Majesty won't trust me.'"

  "Don't worry, don't worry, ten thousand don't worries." I said hastily.

  "In her heart, she thought: 'I've gone to great lengths to find you, if I don't trust you, why would I summon you out?'"

  Zhuge Liang said: "Then I will teach Your Majesty the art of dividing one's body. Your Majesty can leave a divided self here to entrust to the system, and your true body can go out."

  I've learned "Body Double" according to the system prompt.

  I was overjoyed and repeatedly thanked Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang hastily said "Your servant does not dare".

  Then I also disregarded Zhuge Liang who was still here, immediately created a clone, entrusted the clone to the system, and my true body directly teleported to Qingzhou.
