Chapter 292: The Year of the Earth Emperor, the Road to the Demon Emperor
In the early April of the 32nd year of Yanyuan, the emperor conferred titles on twelve princes, including the long-missing seventh prince Jiang Ye, who was named King of Jin.
Twelve more vassal kings were born in the world, and all of them settled in Fengtian. Fengtian was special. Although it was a vassal state, it was too big and had to be divided. Li Ya could accept this. He was also uneasy in controlling a vassal state as big as Dajing, for fear that the emperor's sword would fall on him one day.
This day.
It was rare for Jiang Liu to convene a morning court, and all the ministers gathered. The grand hall was extremely lively, and all the civil and military officials were very happy.
The hall finally became quiet when Jiang Liu came over holding the Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad.
The Treasure Toad of Heaven and Earth was still in the small tripod. With the help of the eunuch, Jiang Liu walked to the dragon throne and sat down. Over the years, he had aged very quickly, making many officials who had not seen him for a long time feel as if they were in another world.
Jiang Liu slowly said, "Today, I have called you all here for two important matters."
His eyes swept across the hall, and Crown Prince Jiang Han was also in the hall.
"First, I plan to abdicate the throne next year, and Crown Prince Jiang Han will ascend the throne."
When these words were spoken, the whole court was in an uproar, but no one shouted at His Majesty that it was not possible. Jiang Han showed a happy expression, which made Jiang Liu feel very uncomfortable.
Damn it!
I'm not dead yet!
Jiang Liu cursed inwardly, taking note of those guys with happy expressions on their faces, and he would get rid of them all this year!
Immediately, he coughed fakely, interrupting the discussion in the court, and said, "The second thing is that the human race is about to be struck by a disaster. A race called the Qiangliang tribe is about to attack. In ancient times, it was the Qiangliang tribe that drove the human race out of Taihuang. I will order the White Guards to pass on the information about the Qiangliang tribe. I don't know when the Qiangliang tribe will attack. You must assist the next emperor in fighting against the Qiangliang tribe."
Hearing this, the hall shook again, and Jiang Han's smile suddenly froze and became extremely gloomy.
How powerful must the race be to expel the human race?
Jiang Han almost went berserk. It turned out that the old man abdicated because he was afraid that the country would be destroyed in his hands!
But when it comes to the throne of the emperor, how could he refuse?
If he refuses, the prince will take his place. This is not something he can choose.
Jiang Liu stood up and said, "Okay, from now on, the prime ministers will assist the prince in presiding over the government, starting from today!"
He left with a hunched back, leaving all the civil and military officials in the court in shock.
So casual?
Chen Li shook his head. He was already used to the emperor's absurdity.
But he felt it was okay. Although Jiang Liu was absurd, he did not anger God or people, and he had made achievements. The establishment of Huangzhou did help the human race to better explore Taihuang.
Next, let’s look at the next emperor!
Chen Li looked at Jiang Han, and Jiang Han just turned his head to look at him, and their eyes met.
…
This year, the emperor abolished many officials, bringing unrest to Dajing that had not been seen in a century. However, this turmoil only originated from the court. His final madness made the officials even more looking forward to the crown prince's ascension to the throne.
Jiang Han ascended the throne smoothly and prepared for the coronation ceremony at the end of the year.
Starting from the new year, the reign title was changed to Dihuang.
In the first year of the Dihuang reign, Jiang Han ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty, mainly for those officials who had been dismissed by the previous emperor. This matter caused a lot of discussion among the people. The dispute between father and son in the royal family was really interesting.
In the courtyard.
Jiang Liu was lying on the couch, listening to the old eunuch's report. He said happily, "This kid really knows how to step on me to get to the top. Let him do what he wants."
The old eunuch hesitated to speak and finally chose to leave.
Jiang Liu was the only one left in the courtyard. He looked at the Tiandi Baochan in his hand and asked, "After I die, how will the history books describe me?"
"The merit of expanding the territory, the king of chaos and lawlessness."
Jiang Liu's eyes widened and he almost dropped the Tiandi Baochan in his hand.
He then sighed and said faintly, "At least it's fair."
He looked up at the sky, and said in a tone that only he could understand: "Is there an immortal dynasty in the world? Ancestor, if Dajing perished, would you stand idly by? What on earth are you seeking..."
…
When the new emperor ascended the throne, his rivalry with Emperor Yanyuan became a topic of conversation for people all over the world; even Long Qishan was talking about it.
Bai Qi laughed and said, "Hahaha, won't Jiang Liu be so angry that he will die?"
Ye Xundi laughed and said, "If it were me, I would be so angry that I would die."
Everyone had no good feelings towards Jiang Liu, and some even despised him. If Daozu had not stopped the King of Northern Frontier, the world would have had a new emperor long ago. However, this emperor has not yet visited Jiang Changsheng.
Bai Zun stroked his beard and said, "I think this is the wisdom of the previous emperor. If he was really cruel, why did he imprison those officials instead of beheading them?"
These words made everyone fall into deep thought.
Does that absurd emperor really have such wisdom?
"I'm curious whether the emperor of this dynasty can face the invasion of the Qiangliang tribe. He uses the reign title of Dihuang, which shows his ambition." Ji Wujun said, with anticipation in his tone.
Jiang Tianming snorted and said, "It doesn't matter. I will take action. When I grow up, I will suppress all the strong and good tribes and the weak and good tribes who don't obey me!"
This boy looks young, but he already has a domineering aura.
His appearance caused everyone to laugh at him.
Mu Lingluo turned his head to look at Jiang Changsheng and asked curiously: "Will you take action then?"
Jiang Changsheng didn't open his eyes and said, "Da Jing should experience some training."
If an enemy with combat power far exceeding Dajing's maximum strength appears, he will naturally take action to stop him. As for the enemies below, Dajing will have to face them on his own.
There may be huge casualties temporarily, but in the long run, this is a good thing. Dajing has not experienced war for too long. How to face more races in the future?
Ji Wujun said with a smile: "We will take action, why should we trouble Daozu?"
Others followed suit, most of them looking forward to it.
The Bai Ling Tian Hou said that the Qiangliang tribe was very strong, but did not specify their specific realm, so they had no specific feeling about the strength of the Qiangliang tribe.
But Jiang Changsheng knew that in terms of the overall incense value, the gap between the two tribes was extremely huge, so huge that there was no chance of winning. However, the Qiangliang tribe would not invade with their entire tribe, after all, they still had their own tribe land to protect.
While they were discussing the Qiangliang tribe, Emperor Jiang Han was also discussing with the prime minister and generals.
In the second half of the year, the emperor recruited soldiers. Those who reached the divine mind state could be combat soldiers, while those at lower states could only be logistics soldiers. Information about the Qiangliang tribe quickly spread throughout the world, and notices were posted in every state, county, and city. There was only Dajing in Taihuang, and the vassal states were all affiliated dynasties of Dajing, equivalent to states. Facing the Qiang tribe, they could not seek refuge in other dynasties and could only grit their teeth and face it. Therefore, the emperor was not afraid of people's unrest, but wanted the whole nation to be tense.
The emperor directly called for the restoration of the bravery of Taizong and Tianzong and the washing away of the shame of the human race being driven out of Taihuang. His speech made the blood boil among martial artists all over the world.
Even though this emperor hasn't accomplished anything great, the people of the world are already full of expectations for him.
Faced with the Qiangliang tribe, warriors all over the world were not afraid, but rather looked forward to it.
After a long period of peace, most people begin to look forward to war, especially those who practice martial arts, who have begun to fantasize about achieving great things and becoming famous throughout the world.
…
Under the blue sky, vast mountains stand above the earth. The flowers and plants are very short, like a plain. There are very few plants on the mountains, mostly rocks of various sizes. The tops are covered with white snow, which has not completely melted yet.
On the top of the mountain, two cat demons were lying together.
Heitian yawned and said, "Brother, when will you start recruiting soldiers?"
Huang Tian was lying on the ground, like a lion, strong and sturdy. He closed his eyes and said, "Wait a little longer. Once I have mastered that guy's abilities, we will start collecting the demon soldiers."
After so many years, they have also begun to transform. Relying on the Tianyan martial arts, they have all reached the first cave heaven realm and are currently striving for the second cave heaven. They are also qualified to travel the world in Taihuang.
Hei Tian said darkly: "When can I become the Demon King?"
Huang Tian said nothing.
At this moment, the top of the mountain began to tremble, one wave after another, becoming more and more violent.
Huang Tian opened his eyes and looked around the world vigilantly. Hei Tian was even more nervous. In Taihuang, they often encountered terrifying beasts that were bigger than mountains. Generally speaking, the bigger the beast, the stronger it was. The size of some beasts was enough to scare them away.
The two cats were soon attracted to the direction of the end of the northern land. They saw a dust storm rolling in, swallowing up the mountains along the way, and in the dust storm there were terrifying giant figures moving forward. Their bodies were like humans, but their heads were not humans. The limbs of all the figures appeared slender, and under the cover of wind and sand, they all exuded a terrifying aura. There was no end in sight at both ends of the dust storm, as if the god of the earth who was cleaning up the world was attacking.
"Should we run?"
Heitian asked nervously.
Huang Tian glanced over and said in a deep voice: "How can we run? Looking at the situation, we can only escape if we are faster than them. It is impossible to get around them. We might as well hide in the mountains."
It jumped down immediately, followed closely by Heitian. The two cats went into a cave and then blocked the entrance with mud.
Soon, endless sand and dust swept in, and the majestic mountains were buried like small mounds between heaven and earth.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
When the world was calm, Huang Tian carefully pushed aside the soil and looked out, only to see that the monster's body was stiff.
I saw skeletons hanging on the nearby mountains . Some of the bones had pierced through the mountains directly, towering into the clouds. It was extremely shocking. Looking up, the entire earth was covered with bones, like a field of bones abandoned by the gods.
Huang Tian looked towards the end of the world where the dust storm was leaving, and murmured: "That direction is..."
…
In the third year of Dihuang, Emperor Yanyuan Jiang Liu died. He reigned for thirty-two years and was posthumously named Anzong.
After a long discussion between the emperor and the prime minister, they finally decided to send Jiang Liu to the Taimiao. This would also prove the current emperor's filial piety and dispel the conspiracy theories among the people. In fact, during Jiang Liu's reign, the territory of Dajing doubled. This achievement was enough for him to enter the Taimiao, but his lifestyle was not good and easily caused controversy.
In the same year, the Wu army founded by Jiang Han had reached tens of millions of people. Various states were also recruiting soldiers, but the threshold was lower than that of the Wu army. Dajing's current total military strength has exceeded one billion, with more than 200 million combat troops, and the number is still growing.
A large number of military camps have been established near Huangzhou, covering an area of 100,000 miles and are still expanding. The purpose is to guard against the attack of the Qiangliang tribe. Jiang Han is ready to fight against the Qiangliang tribe in Huangzhou without waiting for the Qiangliang tribe to reach Tianjing land.
