As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 132: Splitting the Land and Becoming King
"What... Your Majesty, is he dead?"

"This... why is it so sudden? There's never been any news that His Majesty is unwell!"

"Yes, it's true! The notice has been posted. The prince will ascend the throne tomorrow!"

"Prince... Hello, Prince! The Prince is a good man~"

"You think His Majesty passed away so suddenly? Could it be..."

"Eh~I can't say it, I can't say it~"

"I heard there's going to be another war. It seems the rebels in the south have taken over another state."

……

Xiao Zhengyang suppressed the court and then quickly spread the news, at least to let the people in the capital know his legitimacy as quickly as possible.

It's a done deal, no doubt about it.

The world changed and a new emperor ascended the throne.

This news was too sudden and too explosive.

Soon the news spread all over Yueyang and became the hottest topic among the people.

Moreover, it will spread across the country at an even faster rate.

The emperor above them had been replaced, but the people were less shocked than the officials and ministers who had their own thoughts.

There was shock, but no pressure. After all, those high-ranking people were still very far away from ordinary people like them.

On the contrary, some people are quite happy.

Xiao Yu was not a good emperor. He was obsessed with immortality and ignored state affairs. Corrupt officials were in power, making the country a mess and even raising an uprising.

Although no one dared to discuss it publicly, everyone knew the situation.

Xiao Zhengyang is different. The prince's reputation for virtue is well-known.

Many people might be begging Xiao Yu to die quickly so that Xiao Zhengyang can take the throne.

The common people at the bottom of society do not pay attention to the game between the upper class people. They just hope that the newly appointed emperor can give them a better life.

……

It’s just after the New Year and the weather is still a bit cold.

But today the sun is shining, the sky is clear and cloudless, it is a good day.

After complicated etiquette, Xiao Zhengyang, surrounded by officials, slowly climbed onto the high platform that was only opened during major sacrificial ceremonies in Yueyang City.

Time is urgent, so keep everything simple. This is already the simplest process.

Yingri Terrace is where you can greet the sun during the day and see the stars in the sky at night.

From this highest platform, you can overlook the entire city and be looked up to by the people of Yueyang.

Xiao Zhengyang was wearing an imperial robe and a crown, his pale face full of solemnity.

His health was getting worse and worse, but even so, he did not ask anyone to support him, but walked up to the platform step by step by himself.

Today he will announce to heaven and earth that he will inherit the throne, be crowned, and make it known to the world.

This road is heavy and makes me dizzy.

When he reached the top, he let out a sigh of relief.

There is a tripod on the Yingri Terrace, with incense burning in the tripod.

Xiao Zhengyang took the golden bowl handed to him by the servant behind him, which was filled with clear wine.

He lowered his eyes and looked into the distance. As far as his sight could see was the winding mountains and rivers.

This was his country, the land for which he had dedicated his life.

Having come to this point, he has lost a lot of his things and done some things he doesn't want to do, but he has no regrets and a clear conscience.

He held the golden bowl high in his hand, looked up at the clear blue sky, and said loudly: "In the 521st year of the Qianyuan era, Xiao Zhengyang, the 23rd generation descendant of the Xiao family, hereby bows to the heavens and the earth, the mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon... the spirits of our ancestors. Zhengyang responds to the will of heaven and the will of the people. He establishes the Yingtian Terrace, announces to heaven and earth, and inherits the great throne..."

Under the bright sunlight, his voice was clear and powerful.

The ministers below the stage all had solemn and respectful expressions, waiting for the coronation ceremony to proceed smoothly.

Become!

From now on, Xiao Zhengyang will be the new generation king of Qianyuan.

He actually did not love this lonely position, but he loved this vast land, he loved the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, and he loved every person on this land.

Xiao Zhengyang knew that he would not be able to stay in this position for long.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the audience.

There, he placed his hopes for the future.

Sir... This is all Zhengyang can do. I hope you won't let me down.

Among the officials, Mingchen was also watching with great interest.

The prince seemed to have aged ten years in the past few days. I don’t know how much longer he can last.

After all, it would be a bit unreasonable to ask for leave in such an occasion.

Besides, such scenes are rare! It can be regarded as a life experience.

Unfortunately, Xiao Zhengyang's coronation ceremony went smoothly without any unusual changes, but there were no auspicious signs either.

Just go through the process calmly.

Mingchen was a little curious. If he put Xiao Xinyue on it now, would anything special happen?

But at this moment, he seemed to notice something, frowned slightly, and glanced to the side.

Under the sunlight, all the evil spirits disappeared, and a shadow flashed by and disappeared.

"Sir... there's something dirty."

The sound of birds rang in my ears.

The dragon of disaster died, the country's fortune restarted, the palace was no longer protected, and some strange things... seemed to begin to emerge.

……

At the same time, in Wuzhou Xiaoyao City,
"Everyone, the heavens are cruel and the emperor is incompetent!" "Now that Qian Yuan's fate has come, the world will belong to our Blood Robe Holy Sect!"

"Wang Huai respects not the gods of heaven and earth, but the common people. I hereby declare to the world that from today on, I will be the king and establish the Great Qi!"

The ceramic wine bowl was smashed to pieces, and the blood-stained wine spilled all over the floor.

Wang Huai stood at the highest point in the dilapidated city, waving the blackened vampire flag in his hand and shouting loudly.

He occupied the seven southern continents and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, which made him qualified to rule the world.

From today on, I will be crowned emperor and establish a country!
Xiaoyao City is dilapidated and impoverished, with mottled marks all over the city walls and uneven stone bricks underfoot. Compared with the prosperous and majestic Yueyang City, it is the other extreme.

However, here are the most devout and fanatical people.

When Wang Huai finished speaking...

The whole city was eerily quiet. All the people looked up and stared at the man holding the flag, standing at the highest point, with an imposing manner.

They were dressed in tattered clothes and had pale faces and thin bodies, but the light in their eyes could not be concealed. They were pious and persistent, even... a little fanatical.

"Long live!!!!"

I don't know who spoke first.

The next moment, it was as if a switch was turned on.

"Long live the leader!!!"

"Long live the leader!!!"

"Long live your Majesty!!!"

"Long live the Blood-Robed Holy Church!!!"

"We have established a nation! March north, kill Emperor Qian, and we will live forever!"

"Qian Yuan's fate has come!"

"I forge my armor with my blood, and sacrifice my heroic soul for peace!"

The quiet people suddenly became crazy. They clenched their fists, raised them high, and roared loudly.

The sound is like waves, surging one after another.

Crazy people cut their arms with sharp weapons, letting the blood spray and soak into each other's clothes.

The bloody smell filled the crowd, their eyes were red, and they even seemed to have fallen into madness.

at last!

Their beliefs were supported, they established a country, and the person they believed in became emperor.

In the future, the unstoppable Blood-Clothed Army will march north to occupy the remaining thirty-two states of Qianyuan, break through the gate of Yueyang City, tear the foolish old emperor into pieces, and slaughter all the fat bugs in the city.

Along with people's shouts and roars, gusts of bloody wind suddenly blew in the sky, and the originally clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds.

"Boom boom boom!"

It didn't rain, but suddenly there were bursts of thunder.

The roaring lightning illuminated the majestic figure of the person standing at the highest point, making him look like a god.

The sky was dark, filled with a bloody wind, and a ghostly shadow was faintly visible in it.

……

"Brother Chen, I'm leaving tomorrow."

In the pavilion, Ling Yu looked at the empty wine bowl in his hand, a little dazed.

Xiao Zhengyang's coronation ceremony went smoothly. The court had a new king and everything was new.

All officials were worried, not knowing what the future would hold.

But for Ling Yu, it didn't seem to have much of an impact. After all, she wasn't one of those good-for-nothings in the court; she was a star general highly regarded by Xiao Zhengyang. Xiao Zhengyang had protected her even before he ascended to power, and now that he was, it was a net worth for her.

only……

She still had to work. The rebels in the south were surging, and she should have left Beijing to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion. However, she was delayed for a few days because of the coronation ceremony.

It's time to set off now.

Before leaving, she wanted to meet Mingchen.

"so fast……"

Mingchen seemed to restrain his usual frivolous smile, and looked straight into her eyes without dodging or avoiding.

He will not go with Ling Yu this time.

When the old emperor was alive, he was in a hurry to urge him to leave because he wanted to refine the elixir of immortality. Now that the old emperor is dead and Xiao Zhengyang has succeeded to the throne, Xiao Zhengyang can't keep him and it is impossible for him to let him go so soon.

Xiao Zhengyang still had many things and details that he wanted to continue discussing with Mingchen.

Xiao Xinyue couldn't leave right away, as she still needed to study. During this period, Xiao Zhengyang would do his best to gain all kinds of power for Xiao Xinyue.

"Will my sister miss me?"

Mingchen's question was quite direct, his eyes burning, and he showed no sign of holding back his emotions. This made Ling Yu's eyes wander, and a blush spread from her ears to the side of her face.

Mingchen had previously told Lingyu that he liked her, and he also knew that this awkward and shy sister liked him too.

How lovable is Dai Jiejie, with her beautiful face, cute and pure, loyal and decisive, brave and strong... She is so beautiful. Her slow emotional lines and the fact that she is a woman dressed as a man also create some unique contrasts that make her cute.

Men like women and women like men.

The union of yin and yang is the great way of heaven and earth. What is there to be shy about?
Mingchen does not hide his feelings.

As he gradually entered into Dai's heart and stole her affection, Dai's sincerity, courage, and trust...also repeatedly entered his heart, making his heart beat fast.

The beauty's fingers unconsciously rubbed the rim of the wine bowl, feeling that this wild and bold man...

What he said seemed to tickle her heart bit by bit.

"meeting!"

She raised her head and looked straight into Mingchen's eyes, her face flushed: "I will miss you!"
