In the gorgeous and prestigious Tianchan Temple, a sacred place for warrior monks, the dawn sun has not yet risen, and a piece of fish-belly white light vaguely appears on the horizon, but the diligent ministers have already put on their court clothes and are standing outside their emperor's Zen room.

.

This is the tradition of the Pandaren Dynasty.

More than two thousand years have passed since the "Fist of Dawn" Master Kang led the Pandaren slaves to break away from the brutal rule of the Mogu warlords. However, this dynasty is still leading the people of this rich land like the rising sun.

The tribes move forward.

Although the Pandaren retained the ruling system left by the Mogu people and even used the Mogu characters as their own to record history, they had obviously learned lessons from the cruelty of the Mogu people as slaves, and successive emperors had

It is a dynasty that rules its own country based on kindness.

This made all races, including pandaren, jinyu, buffalo and even the stubborn hozen, willing to accept the leadership of the benevolent and wise emperor.

Of course, this is also because the pandas have excellent farming skills, allowing them to produce enough food to feed themselves and other allies.

Without the crisis of starvation, even the hozens can live in peace with the rabbit monsters.

What is surprising is that the emperors of the Pandaren dynasty rarely have bad emperors. Of course, this has nothing to do with blood, but it does not stem from a simple coincidence.

In addition to the fact that princes have to undergo complicated schoolwork from an early age to learn principles and ruling skills, and seek martial arts skills from monk masters to strengthen their bodies, they also have to go through a very special experience before they are officially crowned emperors.

ceremony.

It was a ceremony presided over by the mysterious Jinyu prophets who could predict the future. Emperors could see their own lives from that secret ceremony.

They can see the great things they have done and the terrible mistakes they have made, and they can learn from that prophecy so that they do not make the same mistakes again.

Such rituals are obviously great for rulers.

Although occasionally the revelation of fate led to the tragedy of rulers trying to change one mistake and triggering another mistake, in general, this mysterious ritual always prevented the Pandaren dynasty from entering a period of irreversible decline.

This is actually a kind of "cheating".

But the supreme gods on Pandaria have never expressed their opinions on this behavior of using prophecies to maintain their rule. The four noble gods obviously also hope to see long-term peace and stability on this land, so the pragmatic pandas put this

The tradition has been passed down.

today!

Today is the day when the new emperor receives the baptism of prophecy. For the Pandaren dynasty that values ​​tradition, this is an absolutely big event!

The wisest courtier who was a scholar raised his head to look at the first ray of sunshine in the east rising over the mountains of the beautiful emerald forest. He solemnly arranged his complicated and solemn ceremonial clothes and put on his crown.

He was holding a peach wood staff that symbolized auspiciousness, twirling his beard and shouting to the meditation room in front of him with a smile:

"Your Majesty, the water whisperer elders have made preparations. Before the sun rises, it is time for you to set off for the Jinyu people's holy land."

"Well, you should correct your title, my wise prime minister."

The person in the Zen room had actually woken up a long time ago. He was just waiting for the right time to arrive to start the ceremony. Following the call of Mr. Prime Minister, the door of the Zen room was pushed open by two powerfully dressed monk guards.

The tall panda, wearing a white emperor's robe, embellished with a black jade belt and golden bracelets, and carrying a unique-looking prayer flag walking stick, strode out of the room.

This is a very young panda.

It can be seen from his sharp eyes and strong body that he is an outstanding product of the unique and excellent imperial education of the Pandaren Dynasty.

But he did not let those cumbersome rules weigh him down. On the contrary, he faced the world and his own future with an optimistic attitude.

In the rising sun, the emperor opened his arms to his courtiers and said with a smile:

"I will not become emperor until tomorrow, my subjects.

You should call me Your Highness now, lest my father be unhappy and send you all to farm in the mountains, or to guard the mantid on the Dragon's Spine."

"Wouldn't that be better? My lord."

The old prime minister shrugged, and the wise old panda said with a smile:

"The heavy government affairs all year round have almost crushed my old bones. It would be a good thing to leave my post and go to become a farmer in the mountains. However, just because you can be kind today does not mean that you can ignore the rules in the ceremony tomorrow.

My majesty.

Tomorrow you must curb all your optimism. You must let your subjects feel the majesty of the emperor. This is not to make them fear, but to maintain dignity.

Well, maybe you should read more about the book I gave you, the rule book written by our distant friend, the Queen of the Elves.

She said that as an emperor, he must make his subjects feel awe. If you cannot have both, then 'fear' should come before 'respect'."

"You know I don't like that."

The young emperor shook his head.

He stood on the high hillside and looked at the joyful palace below. The monks from Tianchanyuan were preparing for the celebration for the coronation of the new emperor. There were red festoons everywhere, and it was a harmonious and lively scene.

The beautiful scene brought about by this peace made the emperor overjoyed.

He supported his old prime minister and said seriously:

"I prefer to protect my people rather than rule them. My ancestors did this. It turns out that everyone prefers a generous leader to a majestic and cold emperor."

"Well, that's true."

The old prime minister nodded seriously and said:

"But perhaps today's divination and prophecy can change your overly optimistic mentality. You know, after reading the prophecy, your father did not leave his palace for a whole week.

He was frightened.

I guess you are the same, I hope my Majesty can perform better in today's ceremony."

"You old thing!"

The young emperor laughed and cursed:

"Don't think that because you are my teacher, you can make fun of me like this. I will definitely prove my courage to you. I will not be frightened by a mere prophecy."

"Oh, don't be so confident, my lord.

Every emperor makes bold words before setting off, and every emperor will be frightened by his own life. I don't think you will be an exception, my dear Majesty Shaohao."

The old prime minister said with a smile:

"In addition, I am not only your teacher, I am also your father's teacher.

According to the fine traditions of our panda people, even if I pull your beard now, you can't punish me, but you have to politely thank me for my teachings.

Alas, I can't climb the mountain with my old bones, so I won't accompany you to attend the ceremony today, but I have specially arranged for a traveler's historian to record it.

So if you're not good enough, I'll know about it."

"Hmph, I will not appoint you to continue to be my prime minister."

The young emperor feigned anger and said to his teacher:

"In addition, I want to personally visit the kingdom of the elves after taking the throne. This is my father's wish. Unfortunately, he was already old when our two countries established diplomatic relations.

I hope to fulfill my father’s wish.”

"Of course, I will arrange it for you right now."

When it came to business, the old prime minister immediately became serious. He asked the officials next to him to record the incident, and then whispered to his emperor:

"I heard from the young traveler that the queen of the elves is a lady of outstanding grace. I hope my young majesty will not be blinded by Azshara's charm.

You know that as the emperor, you must choose your wife from among your own clan."

"Irregular old man!"

The young emperor was teased twice by his teacher, but he was not angry because of it. Panda people always regard tolerance and tolerance as virtues. As an emperor, he also has a real big heart.

Because of this, all the ministers believed that Emperor Shaohao would become one of the best rulers in the history of the Pandaren Dynasty, and they were very confident in their excellent civilization.

They do not consider themselves weaker than the realms of elves or trolls.

A quarter of an hour later, as the emperor's royal chariot departed from Tianchanyuan, the entire capital of the Pandaren Kingdom, known as the Jade Forest, became lively.

The children cheered and held up the portrait of Emperor Shaohao and ran along with the royal chariot pulled by eight white sacred cows. Some palace attendants grabbed candies and scattered them along the way, so that the children could also enjoy the joy of the new emperor's coming to the throne.

They call this "having fun with the people."

The roadside leading to the Holy Land of the Jinyu People was filled with people who came to admire the emperor's appearance. Whenever the gauze of Emperor Shaohao sitting on the royal chariot was blown away, revealing the emperor's majestic and handsome posture, there would always be Pandaren.

The girl screamed in admiration.

But no one tried to drive away these enthusiastic people. Even the young emperor himself felt satisfied and honored because of the cheers of the people.

In the sky, there are majestic flying dragons like giant snakes with colorful ribbons on their bodies and they follow the chariot forward. There are saddles on the backs of these flying dragons, riding the most heroic heroes in the Pandaren Kingdom.

They are the Cloud Serpent Knights.

The most outstanding female general in the history of the Pandaren, the heroic division formed by the Flying Girl Jiang in the Troll War a thousand years ago. She is the sword of the emperor and the shield of the empire.

They are the powerful representatives of the Pandaren Dynasty and the emperor's support when traveling.

On the way to the Holy Land of the Jinyu people, Emperor Shaohao, who was sitting on the royal chariot, was thinking in his mind that after he completed his visit to the Elf Empire, it would be time to unite the elves to launch a crusade against the trolls.

Those savage creatures have been infesting Pandaria's borders and have spoken harshly to the pandaren envoys.

This is a bad sign.

I heard that the elves and the trolls have always had a deep hatred. Perhaps the two empires can join forces to curb the ambitious troll empire that wants to rise again on this continent called Kalimdor.
