"Senior, will you go back during the founding ceremony of the country?" In Zhennan Pass, Chu Changfeng faced Moro, with some searching and asking for advice in his eyes.
The news that Jin Emperor Sima Ke resigned from office, and regent Chen Yuan took over the throne after three resignations and established the country as Yan, even without relying on the Book of Heaven, spread to southern Xinjiang in a very short period of time.
And this is due to the terrifying intelligence capabilities of the current imperial court.
After Chen Yuan entered the capital, he integrated the power of the imperial court and the power of the world. Now the people behind the Dengxian Tower are controlled by the imperial court, because Ye Xiangnan is also a member of the imperial court.
With preparation, it can spread all over the world in just a few days.
This is not only the case in the Central Plains, but also in Japan, the Western Regions, and the Northern Barbarians. The time set is July 16, the second year of Jianye, and there is still a full month left.
During this period, preparations were made for ascending the throne.
After all, the founding ceremony itself was a grand occasion, no less important than the ceremony of honoring the emperor. As an emperor who would pacify the world and open up new territories, what Chen Yuan wanted was an unprecedented and huge event.
"Chen Yuan sent a message asking you and me to go back and witness this moment." Moro looked calmly at the distant southern border and said softly.
"Then... what should we do about Zhennanguan? If the demon clan attacks at this time, wouldn't we fall into emptiness?" Chu Changfeng frowned slightly. Although he also wanted to go back, he was still worried about this.
If the demon clan breaks through Zhennang Pass on the occasion of the founding ceremony of the country, it will undoubtedly be a great shame.
"They... don't dare to come."
Moro shook his head. Now that the offensive and defensive forces are different, the strength of the Central Plains has far surpassed that of Southern Xinjiang. They have received reliable news that hundreds of tribes in Southern Xinjiang are migrating farther south.
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens..."
"Haha, if they really dare to come, then...it would be a good thing." Moro smiled calmly, as if he was confident.
"Could it be..." Chu Changfeng's eyes lit up.
"Yes, the poor monk here has set up a void movement formation in advance. Even if he is hundreds of thousands of miles away, through this formation, the regent can arrive in an instant."
The teleportation formation is a secret.
Only a few people, including Chen Yuan, Moro and Su Ziyue, knew that when Chen Yuan went to Japan, he had given instructions to Moro to preside over this grand formation.
After searching the treasure house of Lingshan, the treasure house of the Northern Barbarians, and the huge resources of the Central Plains, we have found enough void stones to support a teleportation array spanning hundreds of thousands of miles.
If those demon gods dare to take this opportunity to attack, it will be the best time to catch them all. Chen Yuan and Moro even wish they would come earlier.
in this way....
It can save a lot of time, so as not to have to look for traces of those monsters in the future.
"That's good."
Seeing that Moro was confident, Chu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief. After all, as a member of the Taoist masters of the Taoist Palace, he had been guarding this place for nearly two years.
I really want to meet the other Taoist masters, and I don't want to miss the scene when Chen Yuan proclaims himself emperor.
This is definitely the biggest scene in the past thousand years.
If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
"Haha... Go and get ready. In a few days, you and I should leave." Moro nodded slightly, his eyes a little blurry. Today, he has completed his goal.
Destroyed Lingshan, rebuilt Lingshan, re-established Buddhism, turned demons into Buddhas, and broke through the realm of earthly immortals that had troubled him for a long time.
And Chen Yuan will also achieve his goal and become emperor!
Compared with other Taoist masters in the Taoist Palace, Moro has undoubtedly been getting along with Chen Yuan for a very long time, and has been by his side to protect him since he was in the Dan realm.
It didn't stop until it broke through Yangshen.
And he can also sense Chen Yuan's ambition. He longs for immortality and power. He is an extremely strong character. Now... he is almost there!
...
The conversation between Moro and Chu Changfeng was not the only one. When Chen Yuan wanted to proclaim himself emperor and establish the country as Yan, he responded to the entire Central Plains and even the entire world.
Ordinary people naturally do not have the ability to go to the capital to watch the ceremony, but local officials, after receiving instructions from above, will celebrate together seven days before the founding ceremony.
There is something for everyone.
This is even more true for those immortal sects and Jianghu forces. The newcomers who are just starting out in the Jianghu regard Chen Yuan as a legend, and naturally want to go to the capital to participate in this grand event.
If you look down from a high altitude, you can see that many figures are gathering towards Zhongzhou from all directions.
】
Top forces, Jianghu aristocratic families, and several immortal sects will also prepare gifts for the new emperor.
After all, this is not an ordinary succession of a new emperor, but the founding of the country of Yan. From then on, the Jin Dynasty will become the past, and Dayan will be the future.
Hundreds of monks from Lingshan Mountain in the Western Regions traveled across mountains and rivers, and the old and new royal families of the thirty-six countries would also go to pay tribute.
The grassland barbarians who were divided into several parts, and the Japanese envoys gathered under the strict orders of the Demon Palace, were also on their way to Zhongzhou.
Everywhere you can see people and warriors talking about this matter.
Everywhere you can hear the legend of Chen Yuan that has long been a myth in the mouths of storytellers.
At this time, deep in southern Xinjiang.
The demon clan... also learned the news.
Although frightened by the power of Chen Yuan and the Central Plains, the demon army began to retreat and migrate deeper to the south, there were not no sources of information in the Central Plains.
Inside the Demon Temple.
Demon Emperor Mo Ying, Demon God Bai Shan, Demon God Chengtian, Demon God Qing Ming, and the top beings of the entire Southern Xinjiang Demon Clan gathered here to discuss Chen Yuan's ascension to the throne.
The Baishan Demon God holding a folding fan saw all the demon gods gathered together and said in a deep voice:
"I think you all have received the news. Yes, the regent Chen Yuan who almost forced us into despair will be preparing to found the country and ascend the throne in a while.
What should we do now? "
"What we can do, of course, is to take advantage of this moment to take action and destroy Zhennanguan. This will dispel the hatred in our hearts. By the way, we can give the regent a founding gift."
Chengtian Demon God laughed muffledly, his huge body was like a mountain of flesh, and his voice was like thunder.
"Hmph, it's Chen Yuan who caused our demon tribe to fall into this situation. If it weren't for him, how would we have fled deeper into the southern border to give him some color?
It saves him from thinking that our demon clan is vulnerable. "
The old man Qingming Demon God sneered.
The demon clan moves southward....
This is the first time in a thousand years.
Last time, it was Chu Taizu who conquered the world and defeated the demon clan. The last time, it was recorded thousands of years ago that they were driven out of the Central Plains China.
This is the third time....
But it had to be like this. At the beginning, they did want to take action, even destroy the Central Plains court and turn the human race into slaves, but only after understanding everything.
Only then did they realize that they were not the simple ones.
Even if Chen Yuan is not in Zhennanguan, there are still human earth immortals and human immortal strongmen, and among them, the only strong person in the demon emperor realm is Mo Ying.
If Chen Yuan arrives, they will not be able to resist him.
Therefore, no matter how reluctant they were, after careful consideration, they had no choice but to disband the demon clan alliance and retreat deeper into the southern border for peace, but in the hearts of all of them.
They were all filled with anger.
After finally recovering to the strength he had five hundred years ago, he could only run away.
What were their previous efforts?
This is true for everyone from demon gods to ordinary demon clans.
Baishan Demon God listened to the answers from Chengtian and Qingming. He frowned and put away his folding fan. He didn't agree with their idea. It was too dangerous to go to cause trouble.
"What do you think of the Demon Emperor?"
His eyes turned to Mo Ying, who was at the top of the list.
"What do you think?"
Mo Ying did not answer, but looked at Bai Shan. As the think tank of the demon clan, Bai Shan's consideration of some things was indeed stronger than that of the two demon gods Qing Ming and Cheng Tian.
"I think this is inappropriate."
Bai Shan shook his head.
"Why, could it be that I missed this good opportunity in vain?"
"Huh, Bai Shan, you have been preaching the power of the Central Plains from the beginning. Now, you don't even dare to take revenge, and let us keep evacuating towards the south.
Why, could it be that you have secretly taken refuge with Chen Yuan? "
Demon God Chengtian and Demon God Qingming both snorted coldly.
Of course, they also know how powerful Chen Yuan is at present, but he will definitely not be able to make a move during the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China. If he does it now, it will definitely be an excellent opportunity.
Bai Shan sneered:
"Okay, just go ahead, those two, I won't stop you!"
"you..."
"Okay, let's hear what Bai Shan has to say first." Mo Ying said solemnly.
"snort."
Bai Shan glanced at Chengtian and the others and said in a deep voice:
"On the surface, this founding ceremony can bring together most of the powerful people in the Central Plains. It is indeed a very good opportunity to take revenge at this time.
But this... is only on the surface.
Now that the Central Plains has pacified the northern grasslands, the Japanese slaves in the east, and the Buddhist sects in the west, as far as the eye can see, there is only one enemy: our demon tribe. Let me ask you, Chen Yuan, a person in such a hurry.
How could it be that we, the demon clan, are not likely to attack?
Could it be that he was not defensive at all? From my perspective, perhaps Chen Yuan set up an ambush just for us to take the lead and catch them all, so he won't persuade you to take action.
Chen Yuan's strength has far surpassed ours, and it is very likely that he has almost reached the level of human immortals. It is a good thing that he does not take action, if he does it desperately.
Let me ask, who can stop you or me?
That's all, not counting those immortals from the human race. Please wake up, our demon race no longer has the strength to fight against the human race. If we fight... we will lose! "
"Then I'll just wait and die, why run away?" Chengtian Demon God said in a muffled voice.
"Although the human race is powerful, our demon race is not without opportunities."
Bai Shan continued.
"What opportunity?" Mo Ying's eyes lit up.
"Tolerate!"
"Tolerate?"
"Yes, our demon clan has a history of thousands of years in the past, and even more. Over the years, whether it is the first emperor of the human race, Emperor Wu, or the second emperor of the human race, Taizu Chu.
They have the power to overwhelm everything, but they have not exterminated the demon clan. This is because the yin and yang of heaven and earth are in order. If there are demons, there will naturally be people, and they are indispensable.
Chen Yuan may not be able to kill all the monsters when he attacks them. Besides... I have another very important reason why I let the monster clan move south. "
"What?"
"It is very likely that our demon tribe still has powerful people in the deeper parts of southern Xinjiang. This can be seen from the previous battle in the Central Plains, which lasted ten days.
This definitely did not appear out of thin air. It must be the action of a strong member of the Golden Crow clan of our demon clan, who can fight to the death with Chen Yuan. Maybe... our demon clan also has the existence of the demon emperor realm.
And they are most likely hiding deep in southern Xinjiang..."
"Is it possible to put the hopes of my demon clan on a baseless speculation?" Qingming Demon God asked in a deep voice.
"Other than that, is there any other way?" Baishan asked.
Compared to several other demon gods, Bai Shan, who is able to recognize himself, is actually very desperate and believes that with the current strength of the demon clan, there is no way to stop the human race.
That's all you can do.
"That's enough, stop arguing. How can there be internal strife when the threat from the human race is ahead?" Mo Ying listened to the arguments of several demon gods with gloomy eyes. He had some trump cards, but...
Those beings can't help them now.
The reason why he agreed with Baishan's forbearance method was because he was waiting for the arrival of the saints from outside the territory.
"Let's put aside the matter of breaking Zhennan Pass for the time being. You don't need to take action. You can continue to let our demon clan move south. I will go and take a look personally at that time. If there is a chance, I will start to massacre some humans.
To avenge my demon clan, if there is no chance... that's all..."
"Goodbye Demon Emperor!"
Bai Shan nodded, agreeing very much with this point of view.
Demon God Chengtian and Demon God Qingming were a little reluctant, but the Demon Emperor had already spoken, so they could only nod their heads and agree with this decision.
...
...
Zhongzhou, Shenjing City.
After Chen Yuan decided to ascend the throne, the entire Shenjing City was plunged into jubilation. Compared with other state capitals, the people of the capital received the greatest benefits.
Because news has spread that when the new emperor ascends the throne, not only will there be a large amount of resources as a reward, but he will also be tax-free for several years.
And this is the benefit of fighting abroad.
The Northern Barbarian Grasslands, Western Regions, and Japan are used as blood supply areas to continuously supply the Central Plains.
For other places, this is an invasion, but for the people of the Central Plains, this is not an invasion. This is the expansion of territory that will last forever!
"The people's support can be used."
In the busy city, Princess Su Ziyue, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, looked at the bustling capital and smiled softly to Chen Yuan beside her.
"The thinking of the people is actually very simple. Let them live, live better, and reproduce, and they will not have the idea of rebellion. They will do their best to protect the court.
Strive to make this prosperous age last longer. After all, how many people in this world are looking forward to chaos? Even if there were, it would not be these common people. "
Chen Yuan smiled faintly.
Sometimes, only by taking power can we see through it all.
He is also gradually exploring.
"Since those in power know this, why are they still trying so hard to oppress the people?" Shen Yanshu took over and asked curiously.
Because isn't this obviously stupid?
As long as they are not forced to death, those people will not have the idea of rebellion. Why do they still do this?
"Since ancient times, how can ordinary people successfully rebel? Those who have the strength to rebel are all beings with some strength. Otherwise, where would they have the strength to recruit troops?"
Princess Pingyang shook her head and added.
In an era when personal power can dominate the world, ordinary people... are the most vulnerable beings.
"Yes, then why did Jingtai not deal with those Jianghu forces and thousand-year-old clans, but instead just squeezed the people?" Shen Yanshu continued.
"I'm telling you, it's because... they are easy to bully." Chen Yuan smiled faintly.
This sentence made Shen Yanshu and others stunned for a moment, but then they came to their senses.
Yes, it's very simple, just because they are easy to bully!
"Jingtai sacrificed his blood to the people, but he didn't dare to take action against those Jianghu forces. The world was in turmoil, and he didn't even dare to attack the Xianmen. It was because they really dared to rebel when they were pressed.
And the people...have no power to tie a chicken, how can they get the strength? "Su Ziyue responded.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We didn't come out to talk about these things." Chen Yuan interrupted their remarks. I don't know what will happen if they continue to talk.
"Your Majesty, are you ready for your enthronement?" Mrs. Xu asked softly.
Her presence around Chen Yuan used to be high, but with Su Ziyue and Ping Yang ascending to the throne, many of her roles have been weakened, and now she only spends time with a few sisters every day.
"That's almost it. I have eliminated all threats before I ascended the throne. I just need to follow the steps."
The government is focused on the upward, and the people are focused on stability. Except for the southern border, which has not yet been pacified, there are no enemies in the world.
"Then I'm just waiting to be the queen." Su Ziyue chuckled.
"What do I think?"
"I...."
The chirping and chirping voices kept echoing around Chen Yuan, making the people around him envious for a while, but they didn't have the courage to step forward and take action.
Not to mention the rules of the court, no fighting is allowed in the capital, and violators will be severely punished. Just because the young master has a few beautiful girls around him, everyone knows that this person is not simple.
Either his father is not simple.
There really aren't that many idiots who can't figure it out.
...
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a month passed. Within this month, Chen Yuan's ascension to the throne was basically ready.
Missions from various places, high-ranking officials and generals from various places, and the Immortal Sect's headmasters have all gathered in the capital.
Looking forward to the day of the ceremony.
On this day, the sky was clear, gongs and drums were singing, the whole capital was noisy, lanterns were decorated, and countless people poured out of the imperial city and headed outside the city. Troops of troops are maintaining order.
The place where the founding ceremony was held was located east of the capital, on the Purple Mountain where Jingtai once worshiped the sky. The mountains and rivers that had been fought in the original war were reversed, but in front of the imperial court.
It was nothing at all. After all, a lot of preparations had been made before, plus a buffer period of more than a month, which was enough to arrange everything.
Between heaven and earth, dragons and phoenixes dance.
Various mythical beasts roam the world, creating a scene where heaven and earth celebrate together.
There were roughly a million people participating in the ceremony, and the darkness was like a torrent.
On the Star Observation Tower, Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back.
Su Ziyue put on the black dragon robe for Chen Yuan and said softly:
"Your Majesty, the time has come!"
