The next day, since most of the ministers of Yan Kingdom came here, King Yan naturally started to hold a banquet to entertain everyone.
Originally, he was not prepared to ask Jie Liang because it went against his wishes.
But the latter had provided many suggestions to him in the past and made great contributions to the prosperity of the Yan Kingdom. For this reason, King Yan finally called him over.
At the banquet, everyone exchanged glasses, the atmosphere was lively, and King Yan also drank with his face flushed.
While everyone was smiling and toasting to King Yan, Xie Liang suddenly sneered.
Given his status, he sat very far forward.
Therefore, King Yan heard this and couldn't help but glance at him. Seeing that he was sitting upright at the desk and did not touch the food or wine at all, he couldn't help but secretly frowned: "Why is Lord Jie sneering?"
Hearing this, Xie Liang quickly stretched out his arms, cupped his hands and said, "Go back to your Majesty! I have a question, and I dare you to ask your Majesty to clarify my doubts."
King Yan looked at him displeased.
Xie Liang ignored it and immediately asked: "I really don't know, why are your Majesty and the ministers happy about what they are drinking and having fun here?"
"I am celebrating that my king has obtained the imperial seal." Before King Yan could speak, a minister already answered.
"Humph!" Xie Liang began to sneer again, looking around at the same time, and said in a contemptuous tone:
"All the civil and military officials in the dynasty used flattering words to confuse the king, not knowing that disaster was coming! It's really ridiculous!"
"Be bold!"
"Xie Liang! You are so presumptuous!"
"How dare you be so rude in front of your Majesty!"
"All the ministers of the court are sitting here! How dare you speak nonsense!"
His words offended everyone present. It is conceivable that people would not be angry, and they would point fingers one after another.
King Yan's face had also darkened a long time ago, and he stared at Jie Liang.
The latter was not afraid at all and said sadly: "My king, you are celebrating the subjugation of your country!"
"What did you say!?" King Yan was furious.
Xie Liang continued: "The Yan Kingdom is already strong and prosperous, and it is enough to occupy the imperial capital. Why do you want to proclaim yourself emperor now and bring about your own destruction?"
"The jade seal given by heaven, there is no reason to accept it! It's not that I want to be emperor, it's God's will!"
"Your Majesty! Countries are vying for hegemony. The throne cannot be coveted now. Why should your Majesty be obsessed with a stone?"
"shut up!"
Hearing this, King Yan could no longer bear it.
After shouting fiercely, he also took a deep breath, then looked at Xie Liang, and said quietly: "We, the Yan Kingdom, have won the imperial capital and accepted the jade seal. I have specially hosted a banquet to entertain all the ministers. If Xie Aiqing is not happy, I will allow you to leave early. I will I don’t want to spoil the mood.”
"Your Majesty—" Xie Liang stood up and wanted to persuade him.
But King Yan was obviously determined, and his voice became a bit colder: "I said, I allow you to leave early."
This is already a pretty straightforward eviction order.
After Xie Liang was stunned, he had nothing to say and walked away directly in front of King Yan.
After he left, some ministers immediately began to say: "Your Majesty, this Xie Liang is so arrogant based on his past achievements. It is really hateful!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this person is aloof and arrogant! He dares to walk away in front of Your Majesty. He deserves to die!"
"Okay, okay!" King Yan interrupted everyone, "Continue drinking and ignore him."
It was almost a foregone conclusion that King Yan would proclaim himself emperor. Under the constant persuasion of a group of ministers, he became more and more powerful. He really felt that he was the real Dragon Emperor.
After finalizing the matter, the Yan Kingdom also sent envoys to the Ling Kingdom to build relationships and at the same time secretly test the Ling King's intentions.
The two kingdoms of Yan and Ling have been friendly for several generations. After King Ling heard about this, his first reaction was shock. He never expected that King Yan would set his sights on the throne!
After being shocked, King Ling had many thoughts, and immediately in front of the envoy Yan, he spoke loudly of the friendship between the two countries and fully supported King Yan in proclaiming himself emperor.
After getting his answer, Yanzhi was satisfied and began to return to his country to resume his life.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Guo began to prepare for proclaiming himself emperor.
Time flies by.
In early March, King Yan proclaimed himself emperor in the imperial capital!
"I see you, Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live long live—"
In the palace hall, all the ministers knelt down and worshiped.
King Yan was dressed in golden clothes and had a crown on his head. He couldn't help but look up and smile:
"All the ministers are equal, all are equal——"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Today, I will issue the emperor's first edict to tell the world that the dynasty will be changed!"
King Yan was in high spirits, and from this moment on, the real chaos in the world officially began.
The news spread and all countries were shocked!
Liang country.
At the moment, there is a golden silk letter on King Liang's royal desk, which was sent to him immediately after King Yan became emperor.
After a brief glance, King Liang sneered, crumpled the silk book into a ball, and threw it to the ground:
"The King of Yan is so audacious! He dares to usurp the throne! He even shamelessly sent me an emperor's edict, saying what it is, and asking me, the Kingdom of Liang, to express my congratulations. It's really ridiculous!"
"Then... I wonder what your Majesty wants?" A minister couldn't help but ask.
"Nonsense! Who cares about him! What kind of bullshit emperor! Can anyone be the emperor! Then I will call myself emperor!?" King Liang said angrily: "If it is listed on the list, wouldn't it mean that Liang Kingdom will recognize King Yan? Fake emperor!"
Huan Guo.
After King Huan read the edict, he couldn't help but shook his head, tutted and said:
"Your courage is commendable, your courage is commendable. To be honest, I really admire King Yan."
Similarly, some ministers asked King Huan what he wanted.
"Ignore him and let him make trouble on his own." King Huan said, throwing the yellow silk book aside casually.
Everyone is a prince. In the past, there were weak royal families and they all silently recognized it. No one broke this balance. Now, King Yan has gone to proclaim himself emperor. It is conceivable how the kings can recognize him as the emperor.
If you admit it, then you can't bow down and surrender?
Xuanguo.
King Xuan smiled.
She smiled, her eyebrows were curved, and her long eyelashes were thick and thick, which was really beautiful.
"There's something good to watch."
She said with a smile, and then looked at Yao Tingyu: "Go and ask Yan Qi to come over."
Yan Qi, that is the commander-in-chief of the Xuan Kingdom. Yao Tingyu couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, and immediately responded: "Yes!"
Wu State.
"It's ridiculous!" King Wu only said this, and then threw away the edict of King Yan.
It’s similar over there in Chu State.
Qin State.
Prince Qin's Mansion.
The ministers lined up on both sides.
Xiao Yuan took Yan Wang's golden silk book, held it in his hand, raised it slightly and said:
"Did you see it? Did you all see it? Someone actually proclaimed himself emperor!"
"Your Majesty, King Yan has proclaimed himself emperor, but Wei Chen seems to be very happy to see your Majesty?" A minister couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I am happy!"
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but looked up and smiled and said:
"It's good to proclaim yourself emperor, but if you don't proclaim yourself emperor, the Yan Kingdom will be hard to destroy. There are really all kinds of fools in this world!"
