Chapter 377: Becoming the Emperor In December 3046, news of the orc's surrender and official entry into the human kingdom began to spread throughout the human world, and at this time, the Supreme Council, which had not been willing to disclose the details, officially issued a statement to the world regarding the acceptance of orcs into the kingdom.
As soon as this news came out, the whole country immediately rejoiced, although there are still many humans who have a grudge against the orcs for the fact that the Supreme Council let the orcs go so easily, but in this current environment, no one dares to openly question the decision made by His Majesty Edward, the supreme one.
As a result, humans and orcs have become an alliance since then, and what everyone did not expect at this time was that a series of chain reactions were gathering momentum.
The day after the Supreme Council announced the news that the orcs would join the kingdom, the king shaman of the dwarf kingdom also announced that he would join the human kingdom as a member country, and the dwarf kingdom would give up its military power and most of its political rights to obtain the necessary human kingdom, although the dwarven king would still maintain the tradition of silver blood as a royal family, but Samon said that he would further integrate with the human race, and eventually make the human and the dwarf become eternal allies.
The human reaction to this news was not too great, after all, the dwarves have been communicating with humans since the founding of the human nation thousands of years ago, even the most remote country people who live have seen dwarves in the city's blacksmith shop, no one will be surprised by these humanoids who seem to have spent their lives in blacksmiths and taverns, but on the third day after the dwarf kingdom announced its merger into the human kingdom, the truly surprising news came.
On December 7, 3046, the orthodox Elven queen Deloris visited the human capital, and the day after meeting with Edward and the High Council, the Elven Queen officially announced that the elves would also join the human kingdom.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the entire human world, you must know that although the news of the human race defeating the dark elves and the moon elves had leaked before, no one dared to expect such a thing as the most orthodox forest elves of the elf clan being incorporated into the kingdom.
As the direct successor of the High Elves, the forest elves have always been beyond the reach of human beings in terms of civilization or history, and if anything in the human world is named an elf, then this thing will immediately be worth a hundred times, even if human beings have undergone earth-shaking changes in recent years, no one would have thought that the elves would join the human kingdom, although they are nominally equal member countries, but everyone knows that this is only in name.
His Majesty's prestige continued to rise with the subjugation of the three most important races of the world to humanity, and in the middle of December, no one would raise objections to a resolution issued by the Supreme Council.
Emperor, the highest title of ruler in this world has always been only king or king, and the newly coined term emperor means the great achievement of unifying the world and the supreme power to dominate the world.
At first, no one realized the meaning of this unique term, but by the time they read it, an inexplicable throbbing had crept up in their hearts.
Edward will be officially proclaimed emperor on January 1 next year, and from then on the emperor will become a greater being than the king, and at the same time, the human kingdom will be renamed the dragon sleep empire, and the political system within the human empire will undergo a series of complex adjustments from then on.
The news of Edward's claim to be emperor quickly spread in the Longmian Continent, for ordinary people, it is reasonable for such a great king to change his name, a monarch who rules a continent is called His Majesty the same as a racial monarch with a population of only a few million or even tens of thousands, how can this show the greatness and dignity of his monarch.
The appearance of the title of emperor, which is different from the king, is a matter of course, and it has no impact on the lives of ordinary people, and everyone naturally raises their hands in agreement.
For the aristocracy, the future change of the empire is what they are most concerned about, but for this, they are no longer enough to have any influence on the decisions of the upper echelons without force at the moment.
The advent of nationalized enterprises and the spread of paper money have made them lose the power to control the lives of the people in this world, and at such times, the nobles can only silently pray that His Majesty will not forget the merits of their ancestors.
In this way, in a somewhat panicked atmosphere, half a month passed quickly, and finally this world is about to enter the new year, and the magic calendar originally used by humans in this world is about to complete his mission.
On January 1, 3047 in the magic calendar, Edward, the king of the human kingdom, was officially called emperor, and from then on, the people must call Edward emperor or emperor, and it is forbidden to call him by his first name, and at the same time, the emperor announced the establishment of the Dragon Sleep Empire, and at the same time changed the calendar to the holy calendar, and the year 3047 of the magic calendar is the first year of the holy calendar.
After Edward's proclamation, the whole country celebrated for seven days, and a series of reform decrees regarding the future imperial form of government were officially announced.
From now on, the empire will establish the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Supervision, four departments to manage all internal affairs of the kingdom, and the personnel appointments of the four departments will no longer use the aristocratic system to select personnel, but adopt the evaluation system and merit accumulation promotion, the real power of the original aristocracy will be further reduced, and the social treatment held by the nobility as compensation will be increased accordingly.
From now on, nobles who want to become government officials must also study and evaluate like ordinary people, and their aristocratic status is not immutable and can be enjoyed forever by future generations, and the inheritance of each generation of aristocratic status will reduce the merit value accumulated by predecessors in proportion, if the descendants of a nobleman for several generations are incompetent and mediocre, then his noble title may even be canceled.
In addition to the reform of the aristocracy, a series of personnel appointments and dismissals and new policies were naturally indispensable.
As the planner of the integration plan, Zhao Yannian bore the brunt of the formal entry into the Supreme Council and became the vice speaker of the parliament.
At the same time, Edward will no longer participate in the voting activities of the Supreme Council in the future, and the Supreme Council has once again added two seats for the Dwarves and the Forest Elves, and the original thirteen seats in the Supreme Council will be expanded to fifteen seats this time.
Under the Supreme Council, the original honorary members and a large number of nobles and scholars from all over the world will form the House of Commons, whose main responsibility is to legislate on the internal affairs of the country.
The division of powers between these powers will ensure the long-term health and stability of the political system, and the establishment of such a perfect system will greatly reduce the burden on the Supreme Council.
The establishment of the new imperial system has greatly increased the number of power positions within the kingdom, and the differentiation of rights has completely changed the situation that the original city of millions of people has only a few supervisors, and the original self-sustaining social system has been rapidly reformed, from the emperor down to the lowest level of the people, an invisible rope connects everyone together, and among the previously worried aristocracy, most of the small nobles have been recruited by the state, and after entering new jobs, Their work has greatly improved the efficiency of urban policy implementation.
The implementation of a large number of new policies under the control of the Supreme Council, which has been prepared for a long time, is as fast as a predetermined plan for people to feel the new atmosphere around them, and at the same time, the number of times the name of the emperor is praised is also increasing rapidly, but at this moment, few people in the Longmian Empire know what is happening somewhere in this world when they call the name of the emperor, but even if they know, I am afraid it will not change this already predestined fact.
The imperial capital, the former human royal capital, although Edward is the emperor, but there are no new changes in the center of this world, except for the increase in officials, the people of the imperial capital are still living their own peaceful life as before.
But there is a difference, I don't know where it arose, people began to learn to pray to the emperor, although most people did not think that praying to a living emperor would be of little use, but the vast majority of fools and fools began to believe in what they had and followed the trend.
"Great Emperor, please bless my business and collect less taxes," said a small merchant, who seemed to be quite religious, praying in the direction of the palace.
The small merchant's shop was on a remote street, and his shop was filled with nothing more than the most ordinary everyday items.
It didn't take long for the merchant to start praying to the emperor, if it weren't for the nagging of his mother-in-law in his ear all day long, this shrewd little merchant would not have believed that praying to His Majesty the Emperor could do any good, the little merchant stood in his shop and closed his eyes and prayed for a while, he was going to finish the prayer and go to open the shop, but when he finished reciting the last prayer, a message suddenly came into his mind.
"It's going to snow heavily!?
Then mine with more charcoal!
The little merchant suddenly muttered to himself, and then, without opening a shop, hurried to the place where the charcoal was sold and bought a large cart of charcoal.
When the backyard of the small merchant's shop was filled with charcoal, the little merchant suddenly wondered why he knew it was going to snow, and then the little merchant suddenly became agitated, knelt down and prayed in the direction of the palace.
