Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-Fourth Thinking Fear... Is this just a coincidence?
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 is 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 more than two thousand years old, but she still looks like a young and beautiful woman. 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 fiancé."
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 did not regard herself as an outsider. 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 demeanor 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 has reached the level of Martial Immortal, and she has also made rapid progress over the years.
Jiang Yao stood up and paced back and forth, still hesitant in her heart.
Now it is indeed possible to claim the title of emperor, and becoming emperor can collect dynasty luck faster, activate the magical power of Jiuding, and accumulate will 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 fate 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 ascension to 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 Jiang Yao of the Ming Dynasty 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 wore a twelve-pin crown and a crown with patterns of the sun, moon, stars, and Taoism. He rode in 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's enthronement 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 Demon Races all 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!
Traveling to the Ming Dynasty is a sin of enlightenment!
Doing business with the Ming Dynasty is a crime of being transparent!
Cave houses and inns take in people from the Ming Dynasty, which is a crime of Ming Dynasty!
Marrying a woman from the Ming Dynasty is a sin of being transparent!
Marrying someone from the Ming Dynasty is a sin of being an Ming Dynasty!
Once accused, he will be executed immediately!
As for supporting the Ming Dynasty in any way, that is the most sinful crime, and the whole family will be in misfortune.
The crime of transparency was not formulated by the monarchs of various countries, but more often by the nobles of various countries themselves, targeting the poor monks in their fiefdoms.
For example, Zhou and Sui, Yu Kuan and Yang Jian did not enact the crime of transparency. However, the nobles and lords of the two countries formulated the "crime of transparency" one after another.
In their territory, the court and the emperor had no say, only the lords had the final say.
In the Zhou Kingdom, only a very small number of nobles such as Duke Mu (original Mu Clan) did not enact the crime of transparency.
And on the day Jiang Yao accepted the persuasion and issued the imperial edict to ascend the throne, his wishes increased by more than ten million!
My personal willingness value has reached 30 million!
The royal destiny in Jiuding has also changed from light green to dark green!
The ancient Taoist inscriptions on the Tower of Six Paths of Reincarnation also have a hint of the Taoist atmosphere.
The Tang Emperor's Seal was also re-engraved and refined into the "Ming Emperor's Seal", which bound the Jiuding Ban.
This means that Jiang Yao can use the emperor's seal to distribute the royal destiny, so that all officials and government offices can truly be tied to the royal destiny of the Ming Dynasty.
Then, as long as you are a great Ming official, you can share the blessings of the king's luck, make your cultivation easier, and your strength becomes stronger.
Officials blessed by royal luck will be more powerful than monks of the same level without official positions.
The higher the official position, the stronger the royal luck that can be blessed, and the greater the gap with monks of the same level.
This is the royal destiny system that created the prosperous immortal dynasty in ancient times!
With a "buzz-" sound, just after Jiang Yao ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, a dark blue halo lit up on the bodies of all Ming Dynasty civil and military officials and members of the royal family.
The higher the official position and the higher the title, the thicker the dark cyan halo will be.
Although this dark blue halo was fleeting, many people saw it.
And the official himself also sensed an additional magical power!
Suddenly, all the officials became excited.
“Your Majesty’s road reaches the sky!”
“Your Majesty’s road reaches the sky!”
"The Ming Dynasty will last for tens of thousands of years!"
Whether they are courtiers, officials from various places, or military attachés, they all feel the blessing of royal luck!
The prestige of Emperor Ming's ginger medicine has risen to a new level.
The title of Holy Lord became popular overnight.
How could such a big thing be hidden from spies from all over the world?
The changes that occurred among the officials of the Ming Dynasty when Jiang Yao ascended the throne were quickly reported to the desks of the monarchs of various countries.
The courts of various countries were suddenly in an uproar.
When Jiang Yao ascended the throne, all the officials of the Ming Dynasty, big and small, appeared green?
How is this going?
Why did this same phenomenon appear only in officials of the Ming Dynasty at the same time?
This seems to be unique to Ming officials?
Why?!
And those who know the reason are all awe-inspiring.
This is the royal destiny blessing all officials!
As soon as Jiang Yao became emperor, he brought royal luck to the officials of the Ming Dynasty!
Is this okay?
What does this mean?
It means that Jiuding artifact and other important treasures are in Jiang Yao's hands!
That’s why he made such a big fuss as soon as he became emperor!
There is another reason, that is, the Ming Dynasty is a country of reform, so it can collect enough royal luck as soon as possible.
In other words, even if other people get the Jiuding Artifact, it will be difficult to activate the Jiuding Artifact so quickly.
In the Qing palace, after receiving the news, Jiang Zhengyi kicked away the concubine who was having an inextricable love affair with him.
The concubine screamed in surprise, naked and covered in white, she rolled down the huge bed, covered her chest and her face changed miserably.
The emperor rarely gets angry and is always as gentle as water. But today, his sudden anger was so terrifying.
She was immediately trembling with fear.
This unlucky concubine was none other than Pan Kang's biological sister, Princess Pan Yudie of Chu Xiyao.
Jiang Zhengyi kicked Pan Yudie over and said to himself with a gloomy face:
"My good father, it turns out that you left the Jiuding artifact to your second son. Haha, you are so kind to me."
"Father, do you still dare to say that your palms and backs are all flesh? Hehe..."
Jiang Zhengyi's face, like a peerless beauty, was now as cold as ice, and her peach blossom eyes were like a cold pool.
He was in the Forbidden Desert before and was forced by Jiang Yao to the point where he almost died in the monster's belly. Fortunately, he was very lucky. Not only was he safe in the end, but he also got a great opportunity by accident.
With this great opportunity, even if the Southern Territory was defeated, his mood was not bad, and he even felt more confident after the ceremony of enthroning the queen.
But after receiving this news from Ming Dynasty today, he could no longer suppress his rage.
It must be the old man who deliberately left the Jiuding artifact to Jiang Yao!
The old man must have also left Shen Nong’s Fortune Cauldron to Jiang Yao!
This is a betrayal of his own mother and son!
Jiang Zhengyi has always been deep-minded, intangible with emotion and anger, and rarely loses his temper. He always looks like he has the pearls of wisdom in hand and is calm and composed.
It seems like the sky is falling without any hesitation.
But now, his jade face was ashen, his silver teeth were clenched, his two slender white hands were clenched into pink fists, and his body was trembling slightly.
Shivering!
"You call this the palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh? You call this a bowl of water that's flat?"
"This is partiality!!!"
"Haha, I am the eldest son, old man..."
Jiang Zhengyi gritted his teeth and sneered, his defense seemed to be broken at this moment.
Pan Yudie looked at Jiang Zhengchen's ferocious expression and felt strange as never before.
Emperor Pankang of Chu, who was far away in Chu State, locked himself in a secret room with a gloomy face after learning the news from Ming State, and did not come out for a long time.
No one dared to touch Pankang's bad luck, everyone knew that the Lord was in a bad mood.
In the past, it was always Jiang Zhengyi who made the owner feel bad, but this time it was Jiang Zhengyi who changed the mood.
Alas, why don’t these Jiang brothers die?
Also, after Jiang Yao became emperor, why did all the officials of the Ming Dynasty have a cyan halo on their bodies? What sign does this represent?
Only a few people know about Chu State.
It would be great if Fairy Luo'er was here, she could enlighten His Majesty. Unfortunately, Fairy Luo'er went out for training and will not come back until a few years later.
In the more distant demon realm Qi Kingdom Dragon City, Qi Zhuhai Coral also received the news and looked at the image bead with great interest.
Seeing the cyan halo that appeared on the officials of the Ming Dynasty after Jiang Yao ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Haihualu remained silent for a long time and muttered to himself:
"Longcheng, your luck is so strong, is it really possible to dominate the world?"
"If you can really do that, I can only help you."
In the Sui Palace in the same distant demon realm, Demon Emperor Yang Jian was "shocked" after receiving the news, and said to the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty:
"In the Ming Dynasty, the king's destiny is blessing all officials. Could it be that the way of heaven really chooses the Ming Dynasty?"
"If Heaven really chooses the Ming Dynasty, where should we go in the Sui Dynasty?"
Queen Mother Yang Qinglian, Queen Luo Wuxie, and the ministers all looked at each other in confusion.
What did your Majesty say?
Is it that serious?
Your Majesty is now so powerful that he has won successive battles recently and defeated the main force of the Liang Kingdom several times. Now the Liang Kingdom has lost most of its territory and is barely surviving.
The Great Sui Dynasty had occupied nearly 60% of the territory of the Demon Realm, and the trend of unifying the Demon Realm was unstoppable.
But the Sui Dynasty was so strong now, why was His Majesty so pessimistic when he heard the news from the Ming Dynasty?
Your Majesty, are you being serious?
When Yu Kuan from the Central Region of Shenzhou learned this news, he sighed in front of all the ministers: "Unexpectedly, due to the fate of the Ming Dynasty, a powerful force has reached this point."
"When the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty calms down a little, I will personally lead the army to conquer the Ming Dynasty!"
But when he retired from the court, Yu Kuan returned to the secret practice room, couldn't help laughing again, and said to himself:
"Yao'er, Yao'er, I didn't expect that by becoming emperor, you could actually use the Jiuding King Qi. Haha, you are indeed the person I like, I was shocked."
"However, don't be complacent. These royal auras are just prototypes and can still be captured. When I destroy the Ming Dynasty, these will be the royal auras of Great Zhou."
"However, I will not allow others to take away your Ming Dynasty's royal aura."
Overall, Yu Kuan was still happy for Jiang Yao.
But at the same time, she was also worried about Jiang Yao. She knew exactly what this meant.
Jiang Yao's proclaimed emperor had a huge impact on the poor families in the entire Zhen Realm.
After proclaiming himself emperor, with the Jiuding artifact in his hands, he could rely on the hope of a poor family in the world to gather his royal destiny faster.
From the perspective of various countries, this is undoubtedly a waste of money.
Yu Yan thought for a while and then issued an order.
Soon, three women with Mahayana cultivation appeared in front of Yu Kuan.
These three women are Yu Yan's most trusted team members.
Sun shadow, moon shadow, star shadow!
The three of them are all core disciples of the Dong Yu Sect, with astonishing qualifications, but they were still powerful saints of the Void Sea a few years ago. It was with Yu Kan's careful help that the three of them became Mahayana masters so quickly.
With the help of Cui Wei, Yu Kuan has integrated the forces of the entire Void Sea. Now there are dozens of Mahayana masters taking orders from her. Their high-end combat power is the highest among all countries!
However, there are only a handful of Mahayana masters that Yu Kuan trusts most, and Sun Ying, Yue Ying, and Xing Ying, who have followed her for many years, are three of them.
"My lord." When the three girls saw Yu Kuan, they saluted together.
Yu Kuan waved his hand and said: "There are no outsiders, so you should still call me junior sister. Three senior sisters, you go to the Ming Dynasty and help Jiang Yao."
"You mainly act as his followers to protect the safety of Ming Palace. He has an immortal-level servant, but unfortunately he is a medicine puppet. He only takes action after receiving orders. It is too rigid."
"Although his palace is heavily guarded and the battle area is tight, it is difficult to prevent immortal-level powerhouses from sneaking in. There are not many powerful Mahayana men in the Ming Dynasty, so you should worry too much."
"Yes." The three of them accepted the order without any hesitation.
Yu Yan continued: "The second task is to pay careful attention to his details and be careful that he is dropped by a counterfeit."
"The conspiracy that happened to me cannot happen to him again. If you find any slight abnormalities, you must report them in time..."
"I won't let you be guards all the time. I will make good arrangements for you in the future..."
Yu Kuan gave some instructions, and Sun Ying, Yue Ying, and Xing Ying bid farewell to Yu Kuan directly and went to serve in the Ming Dynasty.
Yu Kuan sent three of his confidants with Mahayana cultivation to the Ming Dynasty, not for the Ming Dynasty, but for Jiang Yao personally.
"... Yao'er, I sent three Mahayana masters to help you. You know these three people, they are all acquaintances... You can just arrange it directly..."
"However, they can only serve as bodyguards and cannot serve as officials or generals in the DPRK. They only work for you personally, not for the Ming Dynasty..."
Jiang Yao was not surprised when he received the news from Yu Kuan.
He knew Yu Kuan's character very well. Yu Kuan had a lot of top-notch combat power, and she would definitely send a few trustworthy and strong people to her side.
Otherwise, she won't feel at ease. This is a way for her to show her care.
"Then thank you Master Kan..." Jiang Yao did not refuse, but accepted happily.
But when he ended the communication with Yu Yan, he felt something was wrong.
Strange, what's wrong?
Jiang Yao frowned and thought, and finally remembered what was wrong.
Well, the names of the three of them are Sun Shadow, Yueying and Star Shadow.
The combination of this happens to be... the sun, moon and stars?
It’s scary to think about it…
Is it just a coincidence?
PS: Guess, is this a coincidence? Good night, Crab!
