Chapter 328 King Conferred Ceremony
After the war in the Northern Barbarians ended and the royal court was destroyed, Shen Du led many members of the Six Sects back to the capital quietly.

There are some things he doesn't understand.

Now that he has done enough, the military will take care of the rest.

It's just that the Northern Barbarians are different from the Western Chu of the Qian Kingdom. They are foreigners after all, and they are located in the grasslands, so it is destined that the Yan army can only plunder and return.

As for the future governance of the grassland, that is a matter for the civil and military officials of the imperial court to be concerned about.

In fact, keeping the Northern Barbarians is not necessarily a bad thing.

Without external enemies, this seemingly prosperous empire might decay again within a few decades.

The reunited world will once again fall into civil strife.

When Shen Du was not far from Yanjing City, a secret letter suddenly came from the capital.

After reading the secret message in his hand, a trace of surprise flashed in Shen Du's eyes.

Seeing Shen Du holding the secret letter without saying anything for a long time, Liang Ying on the side asked curiously: "Sir, what's the big deal?"

The Yan people have a feud with the Northern Barbarians, which is almost engraved in their bones.

The lifelong dream of any Yan person is to break through the Northern Barbarian Royal Court and pay with blood.

But he felt quite unhappy.

Obviously all this was done by the Marquis. Without the Marquis, the border would have been breached long ago.

Now that the royal court has been breached, those people want to share the credit, and they are not prohibited from returning to the capital.

Shen Duxian glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "Why, are you going to give me a show in a yellow robe as well?"

Liang Ying's expression suddenly changed, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Marquis, please forgive me!"

"Your officer...don't dare."

After hesitating for a moment, Liang Ying's words changed to "don't dare".

It's "dare not", not "don't want to".

"Ah!"

Shen Du chuckled and said calmly: "Get up!"

He knew that Liang Ying was not the only one who had this idea.

Emperor Yan has been in seclusion for more than 20 years and has not appeared for a long time. It is naturally unrealistic to expect the officials below to be loyal to him.

What's more, many people have never even seen Emperor Yan's face, so how can they be loyal.

Everyone has their own selfish motives.

If he succeeds in ascending to the throne, then one of these people will achieve enlightenment, and chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven.

Not only them, but also their relatives and friends will benefit from this.

Dayan's rights will definitely be redistributed.

"Don't you want to know the news from Beijing?"

Shen Du glanced at the secret letter in his hand and smiled: "The letter asks us to go to the East Palace after entering the capital..."

"Participate in the King Ceremony!"

"What?!" Liang Ying suddenly raised his head, looking shocked.

King?

to whom?

Almost instantly, an answer popped into Liang Ying's mind.

Now in the entire Great Yan, who is qualified to be crowned king?

Everyone around was also shocked, and then there was a burst of ecstasy.

Seal the king!

Since the founding of Dayan, few people outside the royal family have been granted the throne.

Even the governor-general Xiang Nantian, who once had the closest relationship with His Majesty, was only granted a title.

It's just that Xiang Nantian rarely talks about this matter, so many people don't know about it.

What's more, this is also the king's ceremony, which means that it will be revealed to the world, which is of great significance.

To put it bluntly, once you are crowned king, it will be easier to rebel one day.

"Let's go!"

Shen Du was actually extremely surprised.

Such a decision must be the order of Emperor Yan.

Is Emperor Yan really not afraid of having his own thoughts?
Based on his own merits, it would be normal for him to be granted the title of Duke, but this throne has few precedents in the Yan Kingdom.

Even if the throne is not assigned, people in the world will not say much, because everyone knows that the highest lord of Dayan is the Duke of the country.

Shen Du shook his head, not too lazy to think about it.

But if he really wins this throne, his luck will definitely increase greatly.

Now that the Yan Kingdom has almost unified the world, its luck is so huge. A king with a different surname will naturally carry great luck.

He has now felt the benefits of great luck.

……

Yanjing City,
Today is particularly lively, and the streets and alleys are crowded with people.

Although the matter of the title of king was not deliberately leaked, it was not kept secret either, so some people had already gotten the news.

The news spread from ten to ten, and soon spread throughout the capital.

They came here today just to witness the King Ceremony!
Everywhere in the restaurant was filled with people from all walks of life.

Listening to the discussions of everyone around, everyone had envy in their eyes.

"Oh, it's only been a few years, but I didn't expect that he would have reached such a stage."

"Who said no!"

"But I think there will definitely be a battle between the royal family of the Yan Kingdom and the Marquis of Pingnan in the future."

Everyone was discussing in low voices.

In response to these words, no one around them said anything to refute.

Obviously, they also think so. Are such things rare since ancient times?
Isn’t that what Qi was like back then?
The original monarch of Qi State was not of the same lineage as it is now. Instead, the throne was usurped, and the real royal lineage was almost wiped out.

Shen Du's achievements were so stable for a while, how could he be stable for the rest of his life?

How can a person like a prince feed him?

"Humph!"

"The people of Yan have brought it upon themselves!"

Someone yelled angrily.

There are not only Yan people here, but also Qian people and people from Western Chu.

Now that their country has been destroyed, they have become a people who have subjugated their country and can only wander around.

In their view, even if the Yan Kingdom unified the world in the future, they would not admit that they were Yan people.

There are many people who have similar thoughts.

There are still many people who cling to their identity and even harbor thoughts of rejuvenating their country.

They all look forward to the opening of the Heavenly Gate and the weakening of the Yan Kingdom, so that they can regain their lands.

Everyone around them tacitly ignored this group of people and pretended not to be able to see them.

There is a way to kill!

At this point, if you still don't know your status clearly, you will suffer a big loss in the future.

Do you really think those Nighthawk spies from Six Doors don’t exist?
Maybe those Nighthawk spies were among them shouting slogans of national restoration.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "Here we come!"

Outside the city gate, a column of cavalry opened the way.

After this line of cavalry, there are six gates of arrests.

The people around him separated in an orderly manner and tried their best to look out, trying to find Shen Du's figure among the crowd.

He broke through the royal court of the Northern Barbarians and beheaded the new Khan of the Northern Barbarians. His fame spread throughout the Yan Dynasty, and even the traffickers and lackeys knew about it.

In the hearts of Lao Yan people, this is the highest honor, and no achievement can compare with this.

After Shen Du rode into the city, the atmosphere around him reached a peak in an instant.

Shen Du glanced around, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said secretly: "This Emperor Yan is not simple."

Such a reward not only showed his magnanimity and won over himself, but also gave an explanation to the people all over the world.

In full view of the public, being awarded the throne is the ultimate honor. If he really pulls the banner and wears a yellow robe, he may lose the support of the people.

Without the support of the people, this destiny will naturally weaken a lot.

At least that part of Yan's destiny will no longer belong to him.

woo... woo...

A desolate horn sounded.

Immediately, drums were beaten on the city wall, and the sound was like thunder.

Breathing into the sky!

Under the beating of the drums, many old Yan people stood aside one after another, their expressions unprecedentedly solemn.

Most young people do not understand this drum sound, but the old Yan people living in Yanjing City are deeply impressed by it.This is the drumbeat of recruitment.

When the war horn sounds and the heavenly drum beats, all Yan people will take up arms and fight regardless of region, gender, or age.

In fact, when Dayan was founded, it was at a disadvantage in the war with the Northern Barbarians.

The Northern Barbarians were expelled due to various factors. After recuperating in the grasslands, the Northern Barbarians became stronger than the soldiers and horses, and then began to move south.

Generations of ancestors of the Yan people used their flesh and blood to keep the Northern Barbarians out of the border.

That's why many old Yan people looked solemn when they heard the horn sound.

In front of the East Palace Gate,

A group of officials, led by Yan Ziqing, the chief minister of the cabinet, stood respectfully in front of the door.

Yan Ziqing's expression was slightly complicated.

This was the content of the imperial edict he received that day.

Seal the king!

He didn't understand what His Majesty was thinking.

More than 20 years have passed, but his memory of His Majesty still seems to be stuck in the past.

Everything is very strange!
It's just a matter of being crowned king, it's still in front of the former prince's east palace gate.

Although this East Palace is taken care of every day, it still lacks a bit of popularity.

"Ugh!"

Yan Ziqing sighed softly, listening to the sound of the horn in his ears, but looked towards the street.

At this time, three people were sitting in a private room by the window of a restaurant near the East Palace.

The three of them were all dressed as ordinary businessmen. One old man was sitting alone, while the other two were standing by the window, overlooking the distant scene.

On the table, there were several plates of ordinary side dishes, but a pot of wine was particularly mellow and fragrant.

There were countless people in the restaurant suppressing the alcohol bug in their stomachs.

If it weren't for the fact that none of those three people were easy to mess with, they would have already come forward to ask for it.

The three of them were from Haitian Pavilion overseas and had traveled a long distance from Nanqian.

The old man looked at the scene below and said calmly: "This Yan country is indeed somewhat extraordinary."

"If given time, we might really be able to dominate the world."

The two people standing behind them looked indifferent. Bai Chengming said coldly: "This person is quite a grand person!"

"Feng Wang?"

"He deserves it!"

The words were filled with dissatisfaction.

It's not jealousy, but pure dissatisfaction, as if this title of king is a great insult to him.

The old man shook his head slightly, turned his head and looked down, and said calmly: "I am somewhat interested in this person."

The conversation between the three people was not known to anyone outside the seating area.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people walked slowly outside the street where the East Palace was located.

The first two people held high the black dragon flag, followed by everyone from the six doors.

After everyone at the six gates separated on both sides, Shen Ducai came slowly on horseback, his expression was dull, and he did not feel the joy of being crowned king.

At this moment, the officials had complicated expressions.

It would be false to say that they didn't have any ideas in mind, but Shen Du's prestige was very high now. If they dared to say even a few bad words, the entrance to the mansion would probably be filled with garbage the next day.

There is a possibility of being secretly attacked while walking on the road. The old Yan people living in Yanjing City are capable of such a thing.

After all, no one in the emperor's family has a few powerful relatives, and if they go to the Ministry of Punishment, it's just a stick for each one.

With Shen Du's arrival, many officials immediately felt a tremendous pressure.

It's not the pressure of the powerful martial saint, it's just the momentum.

A trend developed through long-term killings at the border.

It belongs to the power of the superior!
The officials looked at each other and knelt down reluctantly.

Yan Ziqing held high the imperial decree and read out the decree.

This imperial edict was read out by Yan Ziqing, the chief minister of the cabinet, which shows its weight even more.

After a long speech and a brief account of Shen Du's achievements, the canonization of the throne was announced.

As expected, Shen Du's title was changed from Pingxihou to Pingnan King.

"My lord is a thousand years old!"

The people around him took the lead in shouting.

The momentum is shocking and huge!
Like a wave, it keeps rising, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami...

Even those who had never spoken before could not help but shout loudly under the influence of this emotion.

The civil and military officials kneeling on the ground were slightly startled.

They haven't shouted yet, and the king-conferment ceremony has not ended yet.

Logically speaking, Shen Du is not the real King of Pingnan now.

A king with a different surname was a top priority in Yan State.

Not far away, the two eunuchs holding royal robes and seals were quite at a loss.

Yan Ziqing was also helpless.

The process is completely messed up!
This is probably the largest and most confusing king-conferring ceremony held in the history of Dayan.

At this moment, he felt most intuitively the prestige of Shen Du in the hearts of the people.

Listening to the whistling sound in his ears, Shen Du narrowed his eyes slightly, and a rare smile appeared on his cold face.

This feeling seems... pretty good.

No wonder so many people pursue rights.

"Sure enough, power can corrupt people."

Shen Du sighed with emotion and glanced at the many civil and military officials who were kneeling on the ground, somewhat at a loss. He suddenly thought, if someone said at this moment, "Would you rather be a prince or a general? The throne belongs to the one who is capable!" I don’t know what the scene should be like?

But he actually didn't have much interest in the throne.

If he really sat in that position, he should be worried.

The affairs of a country are too complicated, and he does not want to spend too much energy on these matters.

Above the restaurant, Bai Chengming looked playful and teased: "It seems he is very proud."

Suddenly, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "But what I like most is to make people fall from the sky to the bottom."

If they want to take action, they have too many opportunities.

But he didn't want to, he wanted to defeat him when he was most proud.

Bai Chengming cupped his hands and said, "Elder, I'm going!"

The old man nodded slightly and said nothing. He just picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass of wine.

The best wine in the world is only a hundred years old, but the pot in his hand has been sealed for thousands of years.

Bai Chengming took a step forward, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. He did not see how he left the inn. When he reappeared, he was already on the street.

The tyrannical momentum came out fiercely!

Everyone around was shocked instantly.

Countless soldiers in armor drew their swords out of their scabbards and looked at the visitor with cold eyes, murderous intent emerging in their eyes.

Making trouble during the king-conferring ceremony was not only a challenge to King Pingnan, but also a provocation to the Yan Kingdom!
Bai Chengming glanced at the soldiers, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He didn't take any action, he just walked slowly and pushed away the people around him.

Shen Du frowned slightly.

His gaze fell on the person coming, with a cold look in his eyes.

However, he did not feel the aura of Tianmen in this person.

Not a heavenly being?

And this aura is a bit weird.

Bai Chengming chuckled lightly and said calmly: "Marquis Pingnan?"

"Or King Pingnan?"

"Everyone in the world knows that your talent is unparalleled. Don't you know that there is something beyond the universe?"

“When one glimpses the heaven and earth in the well, one thinks he has seen the heaven and the earth.”

"It's just ignorance!"

Bai Chengming looked at Shen Du and smiled, his smile faded, and he said coldly: "Shen Du, right?"

"Come back with me!"

"Leave unnecessary struggles."

Shen Du raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Bai Chengming with a half-smile.

No one dared to talk to him like this for a long time.
