Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1199 1200 A new king

It was not a good day for Zhao Yu, the new emperor of the Dahua Empire.Because the Zhao Jie rebellion in the south has not been quelled due to Qin's secret interference, and the conditions he promised to Tang will be implemented on this day.

Although many ministers are strongly opposed, even though they are unwilling to admit this fact, Zhao Yu knows that he has no capital to refuse.

He had to fulfill his promise, otherwise the Great Tang Empire might let him see what is called an overwhelming offensive.

War... Especially the war against the Tang Empire, Zhao Yu never had the guts to try it.Everything he has is given by the Tang Empire, and even the command of many of his troops is in the hands of the Tang Empire's advisory group.

"Your Majesty! This is absolutely impossible!" an old official who had experienced the rebellion in the imperial capital begged Zhao Yu bitterly.He saw with his own eyes the wars in the imperial capital that hadn't happened in hundreds of years. When Zhao Yu ascended the throne, he had retired long ago and was re-appointed to replace Zhou Qiang as Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

This old man is now almost 85 years old. Although he is not seriously ill, he looks like he may fall at any time, very much like the empire he serves.

The young nobleman beside him was pale, but he was very handsome.He and Zhao Yu have similar tastes, are greedy for money and lust, and can play various tricks. Relying on the support and trust of His Majesty the Emperor, he became the new prime minister of the empire.

It's just that this young prime minister who can only cater to His Majesty the Emperor has no great skills, and most of the decisions are nodded in agreement, and then supervised according to the opinions of the Tang Empire's advisory group.

"The cession of so many territories before has already aroused public anger! If you abdicate again and claim to be the king, the Dahua Empire will lose all face!" Seeing Zhao Yu sitting on the throne and not speaking, the old Minister of the Ministry of Officials once again spoke excitedly to persuade road.

"Master Shangshu! Do you know that if we don't fulfill our promise, the Tang Empire will stop supporting us, and may even declare war on us?" The young prime minister was not very skilled, so he directly moved out of the Tang Empire to increase his persuasiveness.

His idea is simple: If you have the ability, you can deal with the Tang Empire!What's the use of telling us this here?

His words made several other ministers whisper to each other and shake their heads frequently. They are all former court officials who were arrested by Zhao Yu or the few remaining nobles who did not run away. These people are not willing to bear the political consequences of "abdicating the throne".

As a minister of an empire, if he lost his qualifications as an empire and was downgraded to a kingdom when he was in the court, he would be recorded in history no matter what, and it would become a shame for himself and even the entire family.

The thinking of these people is actually very simple. They don't have the guts to disobey the Tang Empire. They just hope that Zhao Yu will give them a little time before he abdicates, so that they can quickly abdicate and get away from this kind of trash. .

It's a pity that Zhao Yu recruited these people to take the blame. How could he let these people go and make his decision look like "one person lost all the ancestral property"?
"The war in the south is still undecided. We should ask the Tang Empire for some time." A minister put forward his own opinion, which was nothing more than delaying for a few days, and came up with a plan to delay the troops.

But the Minister of the Ministry of Rites next to him knew that the Tang Empire had officially issued an ultimatum to the Dahua Empire.If Zhao Yu continues to stay in the inn, that may lead to border conflicts.

Even Zhao Jie had never fought against the Dahua Empire troops. If they were in a state of being confronted by the enemy and fighting on two fronts, while still fighting against the most powerful Tang Empire in the world today, the outcome would be known without even thinking about it.

Many people think that there is nothing wrong with being annexed into the Tang Empire after the defeat, and it is better to lose the country than to abdicate.

But anyone with a little strategic vision can see that things are actually not as simple as imagined.

Once the Great Tang Empire declared war on the Dahua Empire, how could it be possible for the Qin State not to fall into trouble and take a share of the pie?How could Zhao Jie, who was lingering in the south, let go of this opportunity?
At that time, the army will be in chaos and war will be fought on three sides. Whether everyone has a chance to become Tang people will still be a question mark.

Besides, others can choose to surrender and just be a rich man in the Tang Dynasty. Zhao Yu can't do it...

From Zhao Yu's point of view, abdicating himself is already the king of the Dahua Kingdom, the king supported by the Tang Empire, power and wealth are in his own hands - at least it seems to be in his own hands inside.

But if the country is destroyed, everything about him will be gone!Unlike those ministers who hoped to subjugate the country, he would rather be a king himself than the king who subjugated the country.

So he coughed and calmed down several ministers, and then said slowly: "I have been protected by the Tang emperor since I started my army... Now that I don't believe my words, how can I stand?"

"In addition... the Tang Dynasty is powerful, with strong soldiers and strong horses. My Dahua has been in war for a long time. How can I fight against it?" He asked the second question, and the ministers below bowed their heads and remained silent.

They all subconsciously opposed Zhao Yu's abdication, but they were also subconsciously unwilling to face the war with the Tang Empire.They avoid the question because the outcome of the question has nothing to do with them.

"If the Tang Empire cuts off its support, how will the southern front be maintained?" Zhao Yu asked the third question, followed by the fourth question: "If the Southern War is defeated, are you going to do it?" Is Zhao Jie's minister?"

"Your Majesty!" Several old men who claimed to be loyal ministers hurriedly spoke, ready to express their loyalty to Zhao Yu.It's a pity that in this current situation, loyalty is not enough, you need ability!
If you can't do your best to turn the tide and help the building to collapse, at least you have to be an empire papermaker, so that the Dahua Empire, which has internal and external troubles, can survive, right?

"That's enough! I've signed the edict, and you can wait until it's promulgated." Zhao Yu stood up. There are so many people here, he feels that no one can really feel his mood at this moment.

At least he is also an emperor!Who would know what it's like to be a king soon?If he had a choice, he didn't want to lose that title of emperor either!But does he have a choice?
In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Zhao Yu of Dahua announced that "the title of the Emperor of the Dahua Empire will be changed to the King of the Dahua Kingdom". The Dahua Empire has also become history on this day. exist……

Upon hearing the news, Zhao Jie immediately publicly criticized Zhao Yu for betraying his country and seeking glory. This statement was supported by many people.Zhao Yujun was more passive in the southern war situation, and the Dahua civil war became the focus of attention of all forces for a while.

Let's watch the second one tomorrow morning.
