"Your Majesty, you must not surrender. Once you surrender to the Star Kingdom, your status as the ruler of the country will be erased." However, there are still ministers who are unwilling to surrender to the Star Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, if the Great Ancient Yuan Kingdom sends troops to attack us, how can we stop them?" There was more than one person who had objections, and soon another person mentioned the situation over there in the Great Ancient Yuan Kingdom.
"If the Great Kingdom of Ancient Yuan wants to send troops to attack you, it must first pass the Star Kingdom. Moreover, the Great Kingdom of Ancient Yuan is several countries away from our Feng Kingdom. How can it send troops to attack you at will?"
"Prime Minister, there is no need to say more. The Star Army has entered the city. Our situation is in danger. If your Majesty is unwilling to surrender, we might as well stay and fight to the death with the Star Army."
"It must not happen. If this happens, all our relatives will die."
…
Because of the controversy just now, many ministers in the court expressed their opinions and made suggestions to Long Qian. They all held their own opinions and argued constantly, but Long Qian did not want to hear those opinions.
"Ministers, there is no need to say more!" There was a lot of noise downstairs in the court, and no one could give him any suggestions that he liked. Long Qian was very angry about this.
"In the opinion of the Prime Minister, what should I do?" After an angry roar, the lower part of the court became quiet. Then, Long Qian looked at the Prime Minister of Feng Kingdom.
"If your Majesty wants to restore the country, you can first go to a neighboring country to take refuge for a while. If you don't want to ask for help from a neighboring country, you should surrender to the Star Kingdom now. The royal family has a great cause. When the time comes, the Star Kingdom will take your honor into consideration and provide you with It’s not a problem to get a royal title,” the one who replied was the Prime Minister of Xingguo.
"I can understand what the Prime Minister means, but how likely does the Prime Minister think it is that I will return to the country?"
"Judging from the current situation, unless the great power of the ancient Yuan Dynasty sends troops to help, with the remaining forces of the country, even if the king agrees to their benefits, it will be impossible to restore the country."
"What do you mean, Prime Minister, no matter what choice you make, it's all a gamble?"
"Judging from the current situation, it is indeed the case," nodded, and finally Prime Minister Feng Guo replied with a calm expression.
"It seems that I don't have many choices," Long Qian sighed. He was already very clear about his situation.
The Feng Army was almost completely lost. Their Feng Kingdom actually existed in name only. Without an army, all their ideas were empty talk. According to the news coming back from various places in recent days, no one in the cities that had been ruled by the Star Kingdom would ever think of doing anything for them anymore. Feng Guo serves, otherwise someone would have come to Po Feng City to assist them.
Since ancient times, the rule of every country has been like this. When the imperial power is there, the ministers of all parties must obey the will of the emperor. When the imperial power disappears, the ministers of all parties will find another master. The survival of the country depends on the forces of various places. In the end, it doesn't matter much unless it threatens the survival of those forces.
The current situation in their Feng Kingdom is like this. Before Po Feng City was destroyed, the city lords of many cities were still willing to obey the royal family's call. Once Po Feng City was destroyed, those people became mere weeds and only thought about what they should do next. No matter which country you attach yourself to, you won't think about helping it recover.
"Feng Guo surrender!" After thinking for a long time, Long Qian slowly stood up and directly announced his final decision to the ministers because he understood those truths. In an instant, he who was originally in his prime seemed to have aged ten years. A feeling of aging.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
"Absolutely not."
…
Those ministers who wanted to restore the country spoke out to dissuade him, but in Long Qian's view, their dissuasion was just a few nonsense words and had no effect.
"Ministers, the emperor has made up his mind. If you don't want to stay, you can leave the imperial city immediately." Regarding the issue of whether those ministers should stay or go, Long Qian didn't want to decide for them. As long as those ministers don't defect and join the Star Army to deal with them. They can be royal.
"Prime Minister, you will be the envoy responsible for the surrender of Feng Kingdom," the voice was low. After deciding to surrender to Feng Kingdom, Long Qian no longer had the power he once had.
"I obey," bowed, and Prime Minister Feng received the last imperial order.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this." Seeing that Long Qian had confirmed his intention to surrender, those ministers who were still unwilling to surrender immediately cried out in pain. Those people were basically relatives of the emperor, and they were worried about what would happen if the Star Army entered the city. Not good for them.
However, more ministers in the court remained silent. They were not afraid of the Star Army at all, and it was not easy to escape to a foreign country. Surrendering to the Star Kingdom was now their best choice.
On the other side, Long Qian immediately turned around and left after issuing his will to surrender, a tall figure showing his loneliness.
As soon as he left, there were still some ministers in the court kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to the empty dragon chair, repeatedly saying that they could not surrender. There were also some people who gathered in groups to discuss the surrender of Feng Kingdom. Good or bad, and how the situation will change in the future, only Prime Minister Feng Guo left with a few ministers.
Not long after, tens of thousands of star troops arrived in front of the palace gate. When the chariot carrying Lan Wu stopped, all the Feng Kingdom flags planted above the palace gate had been pulled out. The Prime Minister of Feng Kingdom held the jade seal in both hands and did the same thing. The minister knelt at the entrance of the palace and waited for the arrival of Lan Wu and others.
When the chariot stopped, Lan Wu stood up and looked at the Feng Kingdom ministers in front, and he could see the decision of the Feng Kingdom ministers at a glance.
"The Prime Minister of the Feng Kingdom, Zhou Qiran, has sent the imperial seal here to await the arrival of the Marshal on the order of my emperor. My emperor is willing to surrender the whole country to the Star Kingdom, and is willing to be the lord of the fiefdom, and serve the Star Kingdom from now on." Facing him, he walked towards After Lan Wu and others came, Prime Minister Feng directly carried out the final imperial order.
"Accurate," Lan Wu didn't respond in the next moment, but the right minister of the Star Kingdom next to him responded in time.
Not long ago, they had considered the possibility of Feng Kingdom's surrender, and now it was up to the right prime minister of Star Kingdom to convey the decree on behalf of the monarch of Star Kingdom.
At the moment when the Prime Minister of Feng Kingdom expressed his surrender, Emperor Feng knelt alone in front of the ancestral hall of the Feng Kingdom royal family, and died with a sword across his neck. As soon as he died, the name of Feng Kingdom was completely abolished, and all the territory of Feng Kingdom was completely abolished. All will be included in the territory of Star Kingdom, and the territory of Star Kingdom will be doubled as a result.
After the death of Emperor Feng, everything went as planned. No matter how angry many people in the Feng Kingdom were about the country's subjugation, they could only hold back one breath.
In less than half a day, the flags of the Star Kingdom were planted all over the imperial city, and the news of the surrender of the entire country spread to all directions. After the Star Army occupied Po Feng City, Lan Wu was responsible for maintaining order in Po Feng City, and the Right Prime Minister was responsible for Accept all rights matters.
In front of Lan Wu and the right minister of Xingguo, no matter how high the status of the ministers of Fengguo was, now all their rights have been removed. Only some of them still retain certain rights to do things for Xingguo. Others can do nothing to them. I am extremely grateful to have survived.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Three days later, all order in Pofeng City returned to normal. Now the person in charge in the city is the Right Prime Minister of the Star Kingdom.
After discussion, Lan Wu asked those prisoners who were willing to join the army to stay, and those who were unwilling to join the army to leave on their own. In the end, half of them left and half stayed.
After the news of the Phoenix Emperor's surrender spread, the Right Prime Minister issued a decree on behalf of the Star Emperor. From now on, all people of the Phoenix Kingdom will become citizens of the Star Kingdom. Everyone is protected by the rules and regulations of the Star Kingdom. The Star Army cannot attack them. If you do anything illegal, you will be punished in accordance with the law.
On the other hand, the original Feng Kingdom personnel must abide by the rules and regulations of the Star Kingdom. If there are any illegal activities, they will also be dealt with according to the law. Currently, the right minister has written a notice and posted it in every corner of Pofeng City. It will also be posted in the Feng Kingdom in the future. Every corner.
Putting aside these things, the martial arts competition that the Gao Li brothers and Lu Yunyou had talked about before the war became a reality. On the third day after the capture of Po Feng City, the general above officially announced the matter.
In addition, there is no difference from Gao Li's original inference. Before holding a real martial arts competition, each battalion needs to select personnel who are qualified to participate. As long as the realm reaches the fourth level of the martial arts realm, they can participate.
For the soldiers of each battalion, the preliminary competition is an opportunity for them to become famous in one fell swoop, and those who get the ranking will also receive certain rewards. Therefore, the soldiers of each battalion are now very enthusiastic about the next preliminary competition. Those who are preparing to participate Everyone wants to show off their talents during the preliminary round.
After the registration started, accompanied by the Gao Li brothers, Lu Yunyou barely qualified for the competition with a cultivation level close to the fourth level of the martial arts realm. Among the officers who came to register for the preliminary round, he was the only one who was a third-level martial arts practitioner, and most of the others were fifth-level martial arts practitioners. Martial arts cultivators, because there were sixth-level martial arts cultivators participating in the later martial arts competitions, and now there are very few even fourth-level martial arts cultivators. Fortunately, Lu Yunyou successfully participated in the competition due to his reputation in the military, and was not ridiculed by too many people.
After successfully registering, before the preliminary competition started, the Gaoli brothers had been discussing what kind of results Lu Yunyou could achieve in the next preliminary competition. In the eyes of the two brothers, no matter whether Lu Yunyou could defeat those fifth-level martial arts participating, at least To defeat all the participating fourth-level martial arts cultivators.
According to the information they gathered, there were only a few dozen fourth-level martial arts cultivators participating in the preliminary round, but all of them were extremely close to the fifth-level martial artists. Those people would be Lu Yunyou's formidable enemies. In the eyes of the two brothers, if It was an honor for Lu Yunyou to defeat those people.
