Jiangjing in the Ming Dynasty was already one of the largest cities in Shenzhou.

Jiang Jing is particularly lively today.

I don't know how many monks from other places came to Jiangjing and begged His Highness King Ming to take another step forward and ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

After the revival of culture and education, the scholars, Taoists, and monks of the Ming Dynasty also signed a petition to ask the Ming King to accept his advice.

The whole Jiangjing was very lively.

Even the envoys from the four kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Sui and Buddha's Mother Kingdom in Jiangjing all pretended that Jiang Yao's merits could make him an emperor.

After the Ming Kingdom occupied the Southern Territory, although it was still considered a small country among the Four Domains and Eight Kingdoms, the Ming Kingdom was typically small but powerful, and should never be underestimated.

Jiang Yao is qualified to be called emperor.

As for Zhou, Qing and Liang, they had always been enemies of the Ming and had no embassy in Jiangjing.

In the magnificent Daming Palace, Jiang Yao's family sat around Mu Cangyue's Cining Palace and were discussing the matter.

Queen Mother Mu Cangyue is sitting in the first place, Jiang Yao is on the left, Jiang Nan is on the right, and below are Jiang Cai, Jiang Xiucheng, and Jiang Lingyun.

In a family of six, there is only one man named Jiang Yao, so it can be said that the yin is strong and the yang is weak.

Mu Cangyue is already over two thousand years old, but she still looks like a young woman with extraordinary grace. She has a thoughtful look on her face, as if she is thinking about something.

After a while, Mu Cangyue slowly said: "Longcheng, I think we must proclaim ourselves emperor now. As Qin Yu and others said, if we don't proclaim ourselves emperor, then our Ming Dynasty will be inferior to others."

"My Ming Dynasty is the only country among the Eight Kingdoms that is reforming the poor family. You represent not only the Jiang family, but also the hope of the poor family in the whole world. If you don't proclaim the emperor, it will lower the morale of the poor family."

"Yes. The Queen Mother is right." Jiang Cai also expressed her opinion, "Yao'er, as early as last year, there were many people talking about why the king did not proclaim himself emperor."

"Some people are even worried that the reason why the king does not proclaim himself emperor is because he is worried about the dissatisfaction of Zhou Lord Yu Kuan. Because everyone knows that you are Yu Kuan's fiancée."

Although Jiang Cai is not Jiang Yao's biological sister, Jiang Yao has always treated her like her biological sister. Over the years, she has been pampered and pampered, with no shortage of top-notch resources, and her cultivation has reached the level of the God of Martial Arts.

She didn't regard herself as an outsider either. Even the Queen Mother Mu Cangyue cared very much for this unrelated daughter.

"I also think that I should proclaim myself emperor." Jiang Nan also agreed. "Otherwise, I would really be a head lower than the Seven Kingdoms. Even the Youyu tribe under my command would find it boring."

Jiang Nan is already a quasi-sage cultivator, and a strong soul cultivator. Although she is the daughter of Xian Qingying, she has the air of a big sister.

A few years ago, she was still wavering between her eldest brother and her second brother, and they originally didn't help each other. But ever since she found out that her mother's death was related to Concubine Can Yao, she firmly stood on the side of her second brother Jiang Yao.

Jiang Xiucheng also said: "Brother, don't hesitate. If you refuse again this time, everyone will be disappointed."

Her cultivation level has reached the level of Martial Immortal, and she has also made rapid progress in these years.

Jiang Yao stood up and paced back and forth, still hesitant in his heart.

Now it is indeed possible to claim the title of emperor, and becoming emperor can collect dynasty luck more quickly, activate Jiuding's magical power, and accumulate aspiration power more easily.

But the problem is, he is worried about Luo Hong and Li Shizhen's group!

That group of people probably knew that the Jiuding was in their hands, and they certainly knew that the Six Paths Wheel Soul Tower was in their hands.

You should also know that Shennong’s fortune cauldron, Shennong’s whip, Shennong’s Taoist fire, the demon seal, and the Tang emperor’s seal are all in your hands!

These treasures are all treasures related to the destiny of the dynasty.

If he proclaims himself emperor, with the blessing of the throne, the speed at which the fortune of the Ming Dynasty will be condensed will be greatly increased.

So, even if the Ming Kingdom is a small country among the eight countries, Luo Hong and others may take action against themselves.

Is it possible that a fake ginger medicine will pop up one day and replace me?

Also, why did Li Shizhen stop Zhou Guozhengming and why did he help himself?

Is it possible that he deliberately made himself stronger, and then faked the real thing and sent a fake ginger medicine to defraud Ming Dynasty?

Jiang Yao is not too worried about Jiang Zhengyi now, because history has begun to be changed by him.

He is not worried about Concubine Silkworm Yao, because Concubine Silkworm Yao was taken to the Black Abyss by the old man and will definitely not be able to come back within a few years.

What he was most worried about was Luo Hong and Li Shizhen.

There are only three or four people in this group at most, but they are the most terrifying people.

For some unknown reason, Jiang Yao dreamed several times during these days, dreaming about the vision he saw in the desert: a great battle in ancient times, a duel between fourteen 'gods'.

Every time I wake up from a dream, I will think of Luo Hong and Li Shizhen.

Of course he wants to proclaim himself emperor, but he is sure that after proclaiming himself emperor, the group of people will pay more attention to him.

"Longcheng, what are you worried about?" Mu Cangyue'e asked with a slight frown. She knew that her son had something on his mind, and it was of great importance.

Jiang Yao sat down and said, "Mom also knows that Yu Kuan was counterfeited last year. This is what I'm worried about."

Mu Cangyue's expression changed slightly, "Are you worried that one day you will be replaced by a counterfeit?"

Jiang Yao nodded, "It's not impossible. In fact, not only Yu Yan, but also me, Pan Kang, Hai Huan, and even Jiang Zhengyi and Yang Jian may be replaced."

"That group of people has vast magical powers and shocking methods. They have this ability."

"After I became emperor, the luck of the Ming Dynasty became stronger, and the attention of that group of people to me must have increased."

He decided to find an opportunity to ask ghost master Jin Hui.

Ghost Master Jinhui was once a member of that group, so he must know something.

He didn't want to be like Tang Wangshu, the second generation of Concubine Canyao, who was beheaded and soul-extracted by the gang after he proclaimed himself emperor. He failed to save the world but ended up dying and the country was destroyed.

When Mu Cangyue and others heard this, they all became worried and helpless.

Jiang Lingyun's face turned pale when she thought that her dear father might be replaced one day and she didn't know it.

"Then take a moment?" the Empress Dowager of Ming Dynasty asked.

Jiang Yao shook his head, "There is no delay. The entire Ming Dynasty's subjects and soldiers are eagerly looking forward to my ascending the throne. It will not work if I refuse to persuade me to join again."

"Mom, if one day I am replaced, you may not be able to tell. This is what worries me the most."

Mu Cangyue's face turned pale, "You can disguise it so well? Even I can't tell the difference?"

Jiang Yao sighed, "It must be a little different, but if that day comes, I won't have any evidence to prove it's a fake. The fake even has my main memory."

"Mom, by then, if you really doubt my authenticity, go to Yu Yan. She can help you distinguish between authenticity and lies."

Mu Cangyue nodded and smiled bitterly, "I hope your worries are unnecessary."

There was one thing she didn't say. She thought that Jiang Bieli's cultivation was unfathomable and he must have a way to distinguish between true and false.

It's just that she doesn't want to see Jiang Bielie again. But if that day comes, she can only beg Jiang Bielie.

Jiang Yao smiled and said: "Don't worry about this now. We can only take one step at a time. I decided to accept the advice and become emperor!"

………

On the second day of February, King Ming Jiang Yao finally lived up to expectations and accepted the third persuasion from ministers, soldiers and civilians to advance, and agreed to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

The whole Ming Dynasty was full of joy.

On the ninth day of the second lunar month in the seventh year of Hongwu, King Ming ascended the throne of Jin in Jiangjing.

Jiang Yao, wearing a twelve-pin crown and a crown with patterns of the sun, moon, stars, and Taoism, rode on a cloud chariot and succeeded to the throne at the imperial gate of the Daming Palace under the guard of thousands of warrior gods.

Thousands of Ming officials and tens of thousands of monks, including envoys from several countries, attended the enthronement ceremony of King Ming.

The succession edict said: "...the country is named Ming Dynasty, and the reign name is still Hongwu... The Ming Dynasty is a country with universal light, equal treatment, and a country for all living beings..."

The envoys from several countries looked a little ugly when they heard these words.

In the edict of succession, the Ming Dynasty became the Ming Dynasty. In the past, the so-called Ming Dynasty was just a verbal name, but now it is the official name of the country.

Afterwards, Jiang Yao honored the Queen Mother Mu Cangyue as the Empress Dowager, and respected his father Jiang Biere as the Supreme Emperor.

Respect Jiang Jiuxu as Emperor Gaozu.

Jiang Nan was granted the title of Princess Mingshan, Jiang Cai was granted the title of Princess Xunshui, Jiang Xiucheng was granted the title of Princess Jiangshui, and Jiang Lingyun was granted the title of Princess Yangshan.

Confessed Mu Wuji's concubine and cousin Xing Qingchen as Princess Xingyang.

The surviving clan members of Jiang Zong, like Jiang Wei and others, were granted the titles of prince, princess, and marquis.

The title of Baiguan has not been increased, but the salary has been increased.

The image of King Ming ascending the throne as emperor was spread throughout the country through large formations. The Ming Dynasty was certainly full of joy, but even the poor Zhou Dynasty was also greatly encouraged!

Soon, even the low-level monks from the Witch Realm, Demon Realm, and Monster Realm were talking about it. Many low-level monks from the Demon and Monster Clan explained that the country is a country of light, and Jiang Yao is a saint of light.

Courageous people even called for political reform and the Ming Dynasty to unify the world.

The impact of Jiang Yao's grand proclaiming as emperor was much greater than the impact of Jiang Yao's simple proclaiming of king!

The nobles of various countries were shocked and angry when they learned about the attitude of the lower class of their country towards Jiang Yao's proclaiming emperor.

Also scared.

Soon, a crime was formulated in a timely manner: crime of transparency!

In unison, nobles from various countries quickly established the crime of "crime of transparency". The conditions for the crime were similar.

One of the most sinister ones is to be punished for words. As long as you speak well of the country, say good things about ginger medicine, and talk about reforms, it is a crime of transparency.

Associating with people from the Ming Dynasty is a crime of transparency!
