Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 769 Chu Wujiang enters the capital, the fate of the nation shifts, and a new dynasty begins with a new atmosphere.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The people of Tianjing waved colorful flags to welcome the victorious and mighty army. Many young girls who came to watch even screamed in admiration.

Since it was a military parade, the soldiers selected by all sides were naturally the bravest, most handsome, and most manly warriors of the human race.

Chu Wujiang aims to gradually change the people's perception of the army, while also cultivating a sense of honor within the army, transforming it step by step into a force that protects humanity.

Similarly, these soldiers were also Chu Wujiang's true base of support.

Although Chu Wujiang could suppress the entire human race on his own, he needed more iron discs to implement his will and go deep into the grassroots.

The army became his reliable leverage.

Therefore, the soldiers who entered the capital not only had to be strong and have made great achievements, but also had to be handsome and leave a deep impression on the people.

Huo Qiushui proclaimed to the soldiers:
"This time when we return to Beijing, we want to show the style of the heroic army and the destiny army."

"His Majesty will make a careful selection."

"The soldiers who were not selected need not be sad; their rewards will be the same."

Given the sheer size of the army, it was impossible for every single soldier to participate in the ceremony upon entering Beijing, so naturally there were no objections.

Although Chu Wujiang was enjoying the services of the witch and the saintess in the carriage, it did not mean that he was indulging in pleasure. His divine thoughts were still persistently pushing forward his work.

This preparation plan worked surprisingly well.

The soldiers and officers of the Heroic Army who responded to the people were all handsome men with outstanding looks, such as Qin Yang, Tie Zheng, Huo Wenxuan, and Hong Tao.

What's even more special is that these soldiers, having gone through countless battles, possess an awe-inspiring presence. Coupled with the reward of the banner of victory, numerous prodigies and geniuses gathered together.

Such a charming and charismatic figure drew cheers and screams from all sides!
Many of the younger female students at the martial arts school ran after them like they had seen a superstar, calling out to them excitedly.

After all, he was the most handsome soldier they had ever seen, far more attractive than the average young swordsman, scholar, or rich kid.

Field army officers are not ordinary soldiers.

The Emperor's core supporters are destined for great success.

The female and female students of various martial arts schools suddenly felt that marrying soldiers of the field army was a good choice, which broke the hearts of the martial arts students who did not join the army.

Do not!
They cried out in sorrow.

However, it cannot reverse the changes in mate selection brought about by this military parade.

The soldiers of the field army, with their extremely high income and formidable strength, were already excellent marriage partners. Now, having rendered meritorious service, they are following in the footsteps of His Majesty the Emperor.

The future is bright.

What saddened the ordinary martial arts students even more was that Chu Wujiang deliberately disguised the most outstanding man as an ordinary military officer, creating a stark contrast.

For example, Huo Wenxuan, the fourth son of the Huo family, is now the commander of ten thousand households.

He was a notorious playboy who frequented brothels for drinks and pleasure. Now, he was disguised as an ordinary centurion, blowing kisses at star-struck girls.

His cool pose caused the girls watching to scream repeatedly, and some even fainted from excitement.

Thank you, thank you everyone!
Huo Wenxuan knew how to handle fans and even showed off a few moves on the spot, making the screams even more ear-piercing.

The martial arts students from various schools were furious when they saw their junior sisters swooning over a girl!

"Junior sister, stop looking. This guy doesn't look like a good person at all."

The junior sister snorted:
"You bullshit!"

"This officer is so handsome, he must be a good person."

"We're still waiting to see His Majesty!"

When Chu Wujiang returned to the capital this time, in order to let the people witness the military's prowess more, he naturally wouldn't make them kneel and kowtow; what would be the point of seeing that?

The celebrations are so grand that even ordinary people join in the joy.

The people of Tianjing received one hundred coins from each household, sharing the joy with the people.

This drew crowds from all over the city to cheer for the army.

Before entering the capital, the soldiers were specially cleansed with vital energy, leaving no dirt behind, and put on the latest battle clothes instead of armor soaked in blood.

They maintain their perfect posture not for war, but to display their appearance.

But it's okay.

Chu Wujiang wanted to display his appearance so that ordinary people could appreciate it and cheer for him.

However, Huo Wenxuan was a bit too impulsive, and even Hong Tao, who was riding a tall horse beside him, couldn't help but remind him:
[Wenxuan, if you keep flirting like this, General Huo will be angry, and he might even whip you in your father's place.]

Huo Wenxuan's smile froze for a moment, then he mustered his courage and said:
It's alright, my sister is still in the capital.

Besides, it was all my brother-in-law's arrangement.

Huo Wenxuan accepted the girl's cheers with a smile, blowing her a kiss while using a secret technique to transmit his voice:

Unlike Brother Hong, who married and had children early on, I don't know how I'm going to explain this to my family now that I've taken a concubine from the demon clan.

Hong Tao's face immediately darkened.

Can we not talk about this?

This is all in response to His Majesty's policies.

Huo Wenxuan laughed triumphantly:
Yes, Brother Hong!

After the royal court surrendered, many soldiers began to settle down and get married.

The military is always inextricably linked to sex and violence.

After rounds of bloody battles, soldiers develop a strong urge to vent their frustrations.

Great war will turn people into beasts, allowing their animalistic nature to dominate the world.

Chu Wujiang forbids rape and plunder not because he is kind-hearted, but because it would lower the moral character of the army and severely reduce its combat capabilities.

For example, during World War II, more than 130 million U.S. soldiers were infected with sexually transmitted diseases, and a battalion was rendered combat incapacitated every day. There was even a joke that sexually transmitted diseases were the biggest enemy of the U.S. military.

Besides causing a decline in combat effectiveness, acts of rape will also incite strong resistance among the demons, which is far more serious than killing enemies on the battlefield and is detrimental to future rule.

Allowing soldiers to rape and plunder is simply the worst possible model.

Chu Wujiang issued a death order regarding this.

Rape and plunder are forbidden; all spoils must be turned over to the public.

These two lines can be considered death lines; whoever crosses them will perish.

Of course, the soldiers' normal desires should also be satisfied.

After the royal court surrendered, the army gradually took control of the tribes throughout the grasslands. Chu Wujiang then ordered his officers to organize soldiers to conduct matchmaking activities for each tribe.

That sounds strange.

You've already defeated the demon army, and now you're going on a blind date.

Huo Qiushui once asked Chu Wujiang:
"Husband, why go through all that trouble?"

"Could it be out of pity for a beautiful woman?"

Chu Wujiang laughed:
"of course not."

"If humans directly plunder women from the demon race, doing too much of it, it will trigger a backlash and incite hatred."

“We cannot do this until we are prepared to implement a policy of complete extermination.”

"Now that the army is organizing matchmaking to show respect for women, these women will become traitors in the eyes of the demons."

"Don't underestimate the psychological effect. We need to spread the word that they voluntarily became wives of humans, so that the demons will remember this humiliation."

The demon warriors have died in large numbers, the male-to-female ratio has collapsed, and the losses of different tribes vary, which will trigger serious wars of annexation.

Women in a tribe who want to protect themselves must rely on powerful figures.

The strongest violent organization on the grasslands is the human legion, which gives the demon women a great sense of security. In addition, the rewards distributed by Chu Wujiang also give the soldiers enough financial resources and confidence to participate in matchmaking activities.

Demon women only participate if they are prepared to marry human soldiers in exchange for support and benefits.

They have the right to refuse and be rematched.

Chu Wujiang didn't truly respect their rights completely. Given his advantageous position, the demon women had no problem agreeing to anything. After a little selection, they nodded in agreement.

This was Chu Wujiang's true plan.

He wanted human soldiers to marry demon women, and he also wanted to split the demon race so that the humans could gradually assimilate them.

Huo Qiushui gasped.
"My husband has a good plan. I will go and do it right away."

Chu Wujiang arranged marriages to allow soldiers to properly marry demon women, which would be a win-win situation whether they married wives or took concubines.

The demon woman avoided a tragic fate and found someone she could rely on.

Human warriors should satisfy their physiological needs, complete important life events, and avoid promiscuity that could lead to various problems.

On their return journey, Chu Wujiang's army organized matchmaking events along the way, helping many soldiers resolve their marriages and drinking a considerable amount of wedding wine.

Many soldiers got married, and outstanding officers were the most sought-after by demon women.

Before Huo Wenxuan was married, he took two concubines from the demon clan. On his way back to Tianjing, he settled them on the White Deer Grassland, planning to visit them whenever he had time.

Although Hong Tao was the leader of the Longzhou nobles, he was not immune to the common practice and was still thinking of keeping the matter a secret. Unexpectedly, Huo Wenxuan directly exposed his secret.

Hong Tao, having fallen into a disadvantageous position, quickly changed his tune:
[Wenxuan, let's not talk about your womanizing.]

[You're quick-witted; what's the deeper meaning behind His Majesty's actions?]

Huo Wenxuan said:
Brother Hong, can't you see how enthusiastically these girls are responding?

[Besides celebrating the victory, His Majesty hopes that we warriors can gain a sufficient advantage in the arena of romance and marriage, thus creating a virtuous cycle within the heroic army.]

Chu Wujiang used the Heroes Army as his ironclad foundation, and naturally favored the army in terms of interests, cultivating his own power base to facilitate his rule over the entire world.

This trip to Beijing, with even the people coming out of the city to welcome them, was all aimed at elevating the status of the military, giving them a significant advantage in the marriage market.

Hong Tao asked hesitantly:
Is there any difference?

Getting married isn't an easy thing, is it?

Those in positions of power often fail to understand the needs of those at the bottom. Huo Wenxuan now understood where Hong Tao had gone wrong, and he couldn't help but say:

As the saying goes, marriage should be between equals.

Brother Hong, you may not know this, but when it comes to marriage, you can really tell what a person is worth.

Our dynasty has enjoyed centuries of peace, and the status of the local militia and ordinary soldiers has steadily declined.

[Your Majesty will naturally try to salvage this situation.]

When is a person's sense of class most obvious?

The answer lies in the time spent on dating and marriage.

Whether it's the matchmaker, the family, or the partner, everyone uses the most utilitarian attitude to measure the value of an individual and divide them into corresponding social classes.

Rural women would rather die than marry farmhands, so farmhands could only be the last generation – it's the same principle.

This stems from the cruelest law of biological evolution.

From a biological perspective, the class division among humans is a competition among themselves to improve their ability to reproduce.

Chu Wujiang demanded absolute loyalty from the human legion, and naturally, he also wanted to enhance the army's image to cultivate a sense of honor.

Huo Wenxuan added:

So don't worry, Brother Hong, His Majesty will be giving a speech soon.

as predicted.

No sooner had Huo Wenxuan finished speaking than Chu Wujiang, riding his Ferghana horse and surrounded by his guards, arrived at the main gate of Tianjing.

When he first arrived in Tianjing, he looked up at the capital of the empire, the most prosperous place in the dynasty.

Now he led his army back and, in full view of everyone, took over the city that belonged to him.

Chu Wujiang soothed the Akhal-Teke horse and ordered it to stop at the gates of Tianjing.

The human legions halted in unison, sharing Chu Wujiang's breath and destiny.

The people who had been waving colorful flags all knelt down in front of Chu Wujiang.

Chu Wujiang immediately gave the order:

"People of humanity, there is no need to kneel. We are celebrating our victory."

His words carry the law, and his pronouncements are lawful.

The million-strong crowd from Tianjing who came out to greet them rose from their knees and shouted:
"Long live my emperor!"

Chu Wujiang was very pleased with the cheers of the people and continued:

"We have won, the greatest victory."

"For thousands of years to come, the north will no longer be a threat, and sea monsters will be unable to invade the land."

"Our children and grandchildren can enjoy lasting peace."

"Next, I will adjust the policies to reduce the burden on my people, so that every citizen can enjoy the benefits of victory."

Upon hearing this, the people excitedly shouted:

"Long live my emperor!"

Anyway, before the mobilization, the government told the people of Tianjing that if they didn't know what to say, they should shout "Long live the Emperor!"

The fact that the people could shout so uniformly was, of course, due to the command of the constables from Tianjing Prefecture.

Chu Wujiang waved his hand, signaling the people to be quiet.

In an instant, the entire city of Tianjing fell silent.

Chu Wujiang continued:

"You all say 'Long live the Emperor,' but this achievement does not only belong to me, but also to our army."

"Without their fighting and their efforts, it would have been impossible to defeat the demon alliance and achieve final victory."

"So it's not just about long live the Emperor, but also long live the human army."

Throughout the entire capital city of Tianjing, tens of millions of people cheered for the army.

Long live the army!

"Long live the human legions!" The soldiers were equally excited, shouting in unison.

"Fight for His Majesty! Fight for humanity!"

Great, now is the time.

At this moment, Chu Wujiang mobilized his army of kings.

With the silver aura bestowed upon the army, many of these soldiers, who had already acquired purple or orange auras after the previous great battle, now found it much easier with the silver aura.

Chu Wujiang illuminated the King's Army, not even for combat, but simply to boost morale; he didn't even need to use his luck.

There was a boom.

The army's morale reached its peak.

The people of Tianjing witnessed something they would never forget: an incomparably mighty army, surrounding Chu Wujiang, marched towards the center of Tianjing.

The imperial capital embraced the army without offering any resistance.

They are invincible.

The people had this thought and felt incredibly reassured.

Because the people believed that this was a different kind of army.

The military has two functions: one is to protect the country, and the other is to make the people believe that they are protected.

This can help stabilize public morale.

The editors of the Champion's Daily were already working at full speed to write the corresponding articles, and Chu Wujiang was not idle either.

Not only did the people of Tianjing see it, but Chu Wujiang also used a large number of Heavenly Demon Thoughts to make it visible to the soldiers far away on the grasslands.

They were equally excited, as if they were part of the ceremony and felt honored to be a part of it.

Meanwhile, the other legions of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty—the Heavenly Might Army, the Heavenly Martial Army, the Heavenly Kui Army, and the Heavenly Hero Army—were dumbfounded.

Why is there such a big difference between the two military units?
But this is not over yet.

Just as everyone was watching the army, a young Qilin flew out of the carriage and blessed the human army and Chu Wujiang.

At this moment, the sky was filled with radiant light, and auspicious omens abounded.

The people of Tianjing, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, shouted in unison:

"A Qilin has descended from the heavens! Heaven blesses the human race! Heaven blesses His Majesty!"

"go ahead!"

Chu Wujiang finally finished his act and ordered his army to continue advancing; they were conquering the entire dynasty.

The army advanced without encountering any resistance, heading straight for the heart of the empire's rule—the imperial palace.

The imperial palace of the Tianming Dynasty, built over six hundred years, resembles an impregnable fortress.

At this moment, the ruler of the palace, Princess Qionghua, nicknamed the Snow-Robed Princess, was dressed in a white robe and faced Chu Wujiang with a complicated expression.

She couldn't help but kneel down and bow, saying:
"Long live my emperor!"

The palace maids, eunuchs, and guards all knelt down, shouting in unison:

"Long live my emperor!"

There was no bloodshed, no struggle; this power transition was devoid of even resistance.

The King of Qin, Emperor Jiahe, the King of Han, and the King of Jin led the support.

The most powerful factions within the imperial family collectively supported Chu Wujiang's ascension to the throne. Naturally, the ministers had no intention of pledging loyalty to the emperor. Even experts like Eunuch Zuo, who had the desire to be loyal to the court, could only watch as the emperor ascended the throne.

They didn't even dare to call them traitors or rebels.

Chu Wujiang needed no conspiracy, no Xuanwu Gate Incident; with overwhelming power, amidst the cheers of the people and the support of the feudal lords, he became the Human Emperor.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"Your Highness, no need for formalities!"

Princess Qionghua then stood up and said:
"Please come with us into the palace, Your Majesty."

The officials of the dynasty, both civil and military, had been waiting quietly and had accepted the reality of the situation; some were even a little excited.

Chu Wujiang's way of ascending the throne not only maximized its legitimacy, but also established an image of a peaceful and prosperous ancient world for the Confucian school and his ministers.

Why was the Duke of Zhou considered a sage in ancient times?

The Duke of Zhou served as regent; in the first year, he quelled the rebellion; in the second year, he conquered Yin; in the third year, he subdued Yan; in the fourth year, he established the Marquisate and the State Administration Office; in the fifth year, he built Chengzhou; in the sixth year, he established rites and music; and in the seventh year, he returned power to King Cheng.

Duke Zhou was not only highly capable, but also a paragon of virtue.

His deeds have inspired countless people to try to recreate the prosperity of the Three Dynasties, because they believe that sages exist in this world.

Zhuge Liang is widely celebrated because he made scholars realize that such a sage truly exists in the world, a sage who is selfless and devoted to the public good.

With his actions and a bit of luck, Chu Wujiang has set a brilliant example for future generations. How could this not excite the Confucian disciples?

"Let's go in."

Chu Wujiang didn't say much, but helped Princess Qionghua up and smiled at her.

Princess Qionghua's cheeks quickly flushed red.

She understood what Chu Wujiang meant.

We'll discuss it later.

So the group arrived at the palace and went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Imperial Palace, Hall of Supreme Harmony
Chu Wujiang sat on the dragon throne, wearing the inherited crown, holding the Heavenly Mandate Dragon Sword in his right hand and placing his left hand on the Imperial Seal.

Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!
All civil and military officials, including the imperial ministers who had come with them, knelt down.

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"I am from a military family, and my family has enjoyed the imperial favor for generations. I have been trusted by the court and have been honored to serve in the court. I have devoted my wisdom and loyalty to repay the emperor's grace and have never dared to forget the duty between the sovereign and the subject."

"The former Dragon Vein Dynasty lost its way, and Emperor Wu wanted to kill all the heroes under heaven."

"With his extraordinary talent, Emperor Hao slew the evil dragon, executed the tyrant, turned the tide, saved the collapsing empire, and restored peace to the world. This unparalleled achievement is something that the people of the world have never forgotten."

"However, at the end of the reign of Emperor Hao, he was not incompetent, but rather his heart was set on something beyond the mundane world."

"His ambition lay in fulfilling his destiny, and he devoted himself to profound cultivation in order to seek the Great Dao."

"Therefore, he lived deep in the palace for a long time, neglecting state affairs and the nation."

Sitting on the throne, Chu Wujiang wanted to determine the merits and demerits of Emperor Hao and the history of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, and explain his reasons for conforming to the Mandate of Heaven.

Everyone's expression changed upon hearing this, and they pricked up their ears to listen.

Chu Wujiang did not deny Di Hao's achievements. Simply restoring the country, establishing the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, and preventing the chaos from further destroying the human race were all unparalleled merits.

Merits should be acknowledged, and mistakes should also be discussed.

At the same time, Chu Wujiang also admitted that he had been a subject of Emperor Hao and had received imperial favor for generations.

This is very surprising.

The history that the Manchus sought to erase during their rebellion was actually that Nurhaci had served as a subject of the Ming Dynasty.

To rebel as a subject is an original sin of Confucian morality and ethics, one that cannot be washed away.

Chu Wujiang continued:
"If the ruler abandons his people, Heaven will also abandon the world."

"Thus, the grassland demons, eyeing the land with covetous intent, awaited their chance to march south. The chosen one emerged from the wilderness, and the demon star shone brightly in the sky."

"The Demon Saint of the Southern Frontier has awakened from his slumber, roaring across mountains and rivers, and reorganizing the demon race. Furthermore, there are evil gods from beyond the realm, lurking in the shadows, eyeing the divine artifact."

"All of these problems arise because there is no one in the central leadership and orders are not carried out."

"This is truly a change in the way of Heaven, which cannot be accomplished by one person alone."

Chu Wujiang did not place all the blame on Di Hao, which relieved the members of the imperial family, at least the purge wouldn't be too harsh.

Regarding the handling of the imperial family, the King of Qin had long since ruled over the various imperial families, who could choose to rebel or surrender.

The imperial court is not afraid.

Rebellion? What a joke!

Chu Wujiang, the King of Qin, and others command the most formidable iron army in the land, far surpassing other field armies, not to mention the imperial family's private army.

We simply can't beat them.

All the kings under heaven obediently awaited reorganization, and no one dared to act rashly.

After all, even if they all joined forces, they couldn't defeat Chu Wujiang alone, so what was the point of fighting?

After recounting Di Hao's faults, Chu Wujiang began to expound on his own destiny:

"Heaven and Earth, having taken pity on all living beings, have entrusted me with the task of bringing peace to the world."

"I have raised an army to punish the guilty not for my own selfish reasons, but to carry out punishment on behalf of Heaven in order to bring peace to the people."

"I personally led the six armies in a bloody battle for several months, driving out the demon invaders in the north, annihilating the monster race in the east, expanding our territory by tens of thousands of miles, and even destroying the four extraterrestrial gods in the midst of the war!"

"What Emperor Hao sought was the mandate of heaven for himself, while what I inherited was the mandate of heaven for the nation."

"The former ruler lost his virtue, which meant he lost the Mandate of Heaven. What I have inherited now is the continuation of the Mandate of Heaven. I am not going to overthrow his ancestral temples, but to continue his virtuous rule."

"Therefore, the name of the country will remain 'Tianming' to show that my heart is set on following the will of Heaven and responding to the people."

Everyone was somewhat surprised by Chu Wujiang's words.

Unexpectedly, Chu Wujiang did not even intend to change the country's name. He thought the current name was quite good, and if the Mandate of Heaven were to come, he would let the chosen one sit in this position.

"My wish is not to be the emperor, but only for peace and stability throughout the land, for calm seas and clear rivers, so that farmers have their fields, residents have their houses, and the common people no longer suffer the pain of displacement."

"When the four borders are at peace and the people are healthy and prosperous, I will be content and have no shame before Heaven and Earth."

"Announce it to the whole world, and let all know it."

The imperial court fell silent.

They never expected Chu Wujiang to make such a statement, as Chu Wujiang defined the virtue of the world as protecting the people.

Those who are virtuous and capable should occupy the position.

Chu Wujiang's attitude was very clear, which was also because his strength was too great, so great that he could easily defeat the entire world.

Therefore, he has enough confidence.

After an initial silence, the civil and military officials collectively shouted:
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

At this moment, the dragon throne erupted with powerful dragon energy.

A hundred dragon veins trembled.

Chu Wujiang's control over the Holy Emperor's Grand Array had already reached its peak. Now that he had announced his great feat of following and inheriting the Mandate of Heaven in the imperial court, the fate of the nation was naturally shaken.

The name of the Tianming Dynasty remained unchanged, but the fate of the nation itself changed.

The core of the nation's destiny shifted to Chu Wujiang.

The Heavenly Mandate Dynasty will become Chu Wujiang's dynasty, and the national fortune originally shared by the six founding dukes will disappear.

One emperor and one courtier.

Chu Wujiang was not in a hurry. After retaining the original bureaucratic system, he began to confer titles on meritorious officials and so on.

The entire government apparatus began to operate at a rapid pace.

Chu Wujiang then issued a series of imperial edicts and bestowed corresponding titles.

In short, all those who participated in the war between humans and demons would receive corresponding rewards based on their merits, while those who did not participate in the war would have their rewards reduced and be stripped of their merits from the previous dynasty.

This is on sale.

For example, many princes of the imperial family would become commoners, retaining only a certain amount of property.

However, the King of Qin retained his position, and the Crown Prince received the title of Prince Jia. This was Chu Wujiang's general strategy.

In addition, to celebrate the victory of the human race, Chu Wujiang also announced a general exemption from taxes and corvée labor for three years.

Originally, Fang Xiang stood up to oppose it, arguing that the treasury was close to bankruptcy and taxes should not be exempted so easily.

Chu Wujiang stated that the spoils from the demon race, which came from the royal court, were enough to pay the principal and interest on the national debt, and that the people should also enjoy some of the benefits of the war.

As for the insufficient portion, it will be replaced by dragon energy.

Fang Xiang asked incredulously:
"Your Majesty, are you saying that one can exchange silver for dragon energy to advance their cultivation level?"

Chu Wujiang said with a smile:
"I don't have many children for the time being, so there's not much use in keeping this dragon energy."

"The Enlightenment Pavilion will be temporarily opened to the public to make up for the financial shortfall."

"At the same time, I will also contribute a treasure that can guide any martial arts and provide everything related to martial arts."

“Everyone can exchange it with silver.”

"Compared to the meager silver of the poor, I want to find a different way to collect money."

In the world of martial arts, martial prowess is paramount.

As long as Chu Wujiang is willing to exchange his knowledge of martial arts, he can get back any amount of silver.

Now all the ministers believed in the emperor's goodwill.

If he weren't wholeheartedly devoted to the world, why would he have taken such an action?

Throughout history, emperors have hoped to gradually weaken local authorities and local warriors in order to maintain the absolute military power of the imperial family.

As a result, Chu Wujiang did the opposite.

What a confident monarch!

This convinced his ministers that following him would truly create an unprecedented golden age.

The ministers shouted in unison:

"Your Majesty, we understand. Long live the Emperor!"

The court proceedings lasted until late into the night.

A new era has begun.
