Supreme King

Chapter 429 Expanding the power
"We will work hard, concentrate on cultivation, and swear allegiance to the military division and the prime minister to the death!" All the soldiers knelt down on one knee and said in unison.

However, this made Ye Chen a little embarrassed. After all, he was only here to help Yu Jingming, but from now on, his prestige in the uprising army seemed to be higher than that of Yu Jingming.

But it’s no wonder that Ye Chen’s strategy was brilliant, and his use of troops was like a god’s help. Not only did he conquer half of the Gu Yue Kingdom, but he also minimized the number of soldiers lost in the uprising army. If this is the case, Ye Chen’s prestige in the army may be It's not as good as Yu Jingming, who commanded the three armies, but Yu Jingming respected Ye Chen very much all the way, and every time he saw Ye Chen, he would salute him, and Ye Chen showed his hand today, these soldiers would naturally be more convinced of Ye Chen .

"Continue to practice." However, Ye Chen didn't say anything, he just waved his hands to let the soldiers continue to practice, and he left with Shanzhu in his arms.

In the days that followed, Ye Chen did not launch an offensive against Nine Dragon Mountain, but asked Yu Jingming to raise troops, interrogated Hu Lian'er, trying to get the deployment of troops on Nine Dragon Mountain from her, and at the same time let Go Back Inn to publicize it in Gu Yue Kingdom. Some scandals about Hu Hong.

The predecessor of Tianji Palace, whether it is the Guihui Pavilion, or the current Tianji Palace, are all engaged in intelligence work. The Guihui Inn is almost all over the entire Huanlong Continent to collect information. Of course, Guyue City, the capital of the Ancient Moon Kingdom, also has one. Going back to the inn, and Hu Hong’s every move, even what color bottoms he wears every day, he is very clear when he goes back to the inn. Naturally, he has some unsightly secrets under his control, so Hu Hong must be ruined It was not difficult for Ye Chen.

And Yu Jingming is also very good at government affairs. He used the momentum of returning to the inn to portray Hu Hong as a hypocrite, and widely implemented benevolent policies. Under Ye Chen's suggestion, he issued a series of policies to benefit the people. For a month, almost all the hearts of the people of Gu Yue Kingdom were on Yu Jingming.

The so-called those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. As time goes by, the strength of the uprising army has risen to a higher level. Many warriors from Gu Yue Kingdom joined the army one after another, making the number of the army increase to more than 30 within a month. public!

Ye Chen then spent another two months, combined with the art of war he had learned, and taught Liu Xun and others how to train soldiers, turning a group of mobs into an elite army.In this way, the general trend of the Ancient Moon Kingdom has basically been set in half. It is only a matter of time to destroy the Ancient Moon Dynasty and take over the world of the Ancient Moon Kingdom.

Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, Ye Chen knew the time was right, so he called Yu Jingming's family together with some generals and ministers, and suggested that Yu Jingming take advantage of the situation to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

After Yu Jingming listened to Ye Chen's suggestion, he became silent and didn't say a word.Ye Chen didn't bother him, just sat there holding Shanzhu and muttering, occasionally feeding Shanzhu a piece of dried fruit from the fruit plate placed on the table next to him, or pinching Shanzhu's meat. small face.

"Father, what else are you thinking about! Half of the world is now in the hands of our Yu family. If we don't become emperor now, what are we waiting for?" After a long time, Yu Xiangming lost his composure. stood up and said.

"That's right, brother, we worked so hard to take down half of the Gu Yue Kingdom. If we don't become emperor, can we still return it to Gu Yue Kingdom, or give it away?" Yu Zhengyuan on the side also nodded, expressing his agreement with Yu Xiangming. if.

Yu Xiangming just frowned and waved his hands, without any expression on his face, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

Only Ye Chen knows what Yu Jingming is thinking in his heart. After conquering the **** country, the power of the Yu family is almost comparable to that of a top second-rate power like the Hu family and the Han family. They have been attached to the **** country for generations, and the only one with the highest cultivation level in the family is Yu Jingming, but he is only at the first level of the True Sacred Realm.

Occupying the **** country in this way, Yu Jingming is no different from a child holding gold in the busy market. It is bound to attract the coveted eyes of those empires in neighboring countries with family backing. destruction!
Ye Chen also told Jingming before that after conquering the Gu Yue Kingdom, the Yu family had only two paths to take. First, hand over the military power in their hands and conquer the country. Xiaoyao, the forces that have won the ** Kingdom will definitely be grateful to Jingming, and they may take care of him in the future.But without the military power of the **** country, the strength of the Yu family will also drop a lot.

Second, submit to the more powerful one of the neighboring countries, or become a vassal, or simply do your old job and enter the court as an official.This looks majestic, but the neighboring countries don't know the reason for Yu Jingming's rebellion, and they will definitely think "he can rebel against Hu Hong, and he will definitely rebel against me in the future", and they will definitely suppress Jingming. After entering the neighboring country, how much control of the government can be left?It must not even compare to when he was in Gu Yue Kingdom!
In fact, in other words, Ye Chen suggested that Yu Jingming proclaim himself emperor, rather he was asking Yu Jingming what he thought about joining Yulongzong, which he mentioned before.For now, if Yu Jingming doesn't want to end up in the above two situations, surrendering to Yulongzong is undoubtedly the best choice.

First of all, Yulongzong is backed by five Huanlongjiuzong, at least in the eyes of outsiders, if they surrender to Ye Chen, those second-rate forces will definitely not dare to touch Jingming's family.Secondly, after getting along for such a long time, Ye Chen and Yu Jingming knew each other well. Ye Chen knew the reason for Yu Jingming's rebellion, and Yu Jingming also knew that Ye Chenzhai had a kind heart, was cruel to the enemy, and kind to his own people, so Yu Jingming doesn't have to worry that Ye Chen will be afraid of Yu Jingming.

However, what Ye Chen wants now is not the king of a country, what he wants is to strengthen Yulongzong and increase the top masters of Yulongzong, so the only choice for Yu Jingming is to lead the Yu family to join Yulongzong!

Yu Jingming is not a fool, he knows all these things, so after a long silence, Yu Jingming seemed to have made a lot of determination, got up and stepped down from the main seat, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Disciple Yu Jingming, pay homage to the suzerain! Disciple is willing to lead Yu Jingming Let me join Yulongzong and swear allegiance to the suzerain to the death!"

Seeing Yu Jingming's actions, he didn't understand how shocked he was, and his face showed doubts. He didn't understand why he was talking about making Yu Jingming enthroned, but why he was suddenly involved in joining Yulongzong.Watch the nose with the clear eyes, watch the heart with the nose, and keep silent.

Seeing that Yu Jingming agreed to join Yulongzong, Ye Chen was overjoyed immediately, hurriedly put down the candle and got up, went up to help Yu Jingming himself and said, "Prime Minister Yu is willing to bring Yu's family to join Yulongzong, it is really a great joy for Yulongzong!"

After Yu Jingming got up, he didn't sit back on the main seat, but asked Ye Chen to sit on it, and he sat down behind the two elders of Star Academy on the lower right.

"Prime Minister Yu has joined my Dragon Sect, but the world cannot do without it. General Yu said it just now. Can the half of the country that the soldiers have worked so hard to conquer be handed over to others?" After sitting down, Ye Chen looked around. After a round of ministers, he said slowly, "I don't know if there is a suitable candidate in the minds of the generals and the adults?"

"Sovereign, my disciples think that the suzerain is the one who makes the strategy and plans along the way. Now that our Yu family has joined the sect, the world and the throne naturally belong to the suzerain." Yu Xiangming is a person who understands. After Chen said that, he stood up and said to Ye Chen.

"I don't want to be emperor." Ye Chen waved his hands and said, "The Yulongzong alone is enough to annoy me. If I want to deal with the affairs of a country, I'm afraid I won't be able to do what I want."

All the ministers in the hall looked at each other after hearing the words, Ye Chen was undoubtedly the one with the highest status in the uprising army, and the soldiers were all convinced, but Yu Jingming always knew that he could not be the emperor, so he also vaguely agreed to join Yulongzong Therefore, in the past, government affairs were generally issued in the name of Ye Chen, and the hearts of the people were naturally on Ye Chen.

Apart from Ye Chen, there is only Yu Jingming, but it is impossible for Ye Chen to stay in Jingming and become the emperor in Gu Yue Kingdom. After finally getting a strong man in the real holy realm, Ye Chen must bring it back to Yulongzong to be the emperor. Cultivation, but at the same time relying on Yu Jingming and Mr. Hai to sit in the Yulongzong together.

Ye Chen was inappropriate, and Yu Jingming was also inappropriate. For a while, everyone was really uncertain who should give the emperor's seat.

"Sovereign, why don't you let Xiang Ming become emperor." After a while, Yu Zhengyuan stood up and said cautiously.

This is definitely a no-brainer. No matter how you look at it, Yu Xiangming doesn't seem to be suitable for being an emperor.

Everyone understood this, and they couldn't help puffing out their chests, looking at Ye Chen with hope, especially the second-generation disciples of the Yu family who were more cultivated.Everyone in the hall understood that the position of emperor today must be determined by Ye Chen, and Ye Chen must choose from among them if he wants to support the emperor, especially those who have made military exploits and have prestige among the three armies. .

Ye Chen pondered for a while, then waved his hands and said, "Xiang Ming's cultivation level is too low now, it's okay to sit in the middle of the country and be a heir, but it's hard to convince the public when he's an emperor."

Hearing what Ye Chen said, everyone was discouraged again.Ye Chen's words seemed to only veto Yu Xiangming's proposal to become emperor, but in fact, the phrase "be the crown prince in the country" has already shown that the emperor will only be born in Yu's family, and the first choice will be Yu Jingming in Yu's family. One pulse.

Yu Jingming was very satisfied with Ye Chen's actions, thinking that Yulongzong would really treat him badly.

"Sovereign, I think it's better to let Jinghong be the emperor." After thinking about it, Yu Jingming finally recommended his younger brother Yu Jinghong.

Yu Jinghong is Yu Jingming's third younger brother, he is not very old, but he had an adventure in his early years, and he has the cultivation level of the Ninth Level of the God Transformation Realm, which is the highest in the Yu family besides Yu Jingming, and his literary and military skills are also very good. When he was in Gu Yue Kingdom, he was an official residence tutor, and he assisted Hu Hong together with Yu Jingming. Yu's family was highly valued by Yu Jingming, so he was a good candidate for emperor.

It's just that Ye Chen planned to choose someone from Yu Jingming's lineage to be the emperor in order to win over Yu Jingming, a master of the true holy realm, but Yu Jinghong obviously saw Ye Chen's thoughts, so he kept silent all the time.Now that Yu Jingming himself proposed to let Yu Jinghong be the emperor, it seems that he can trust his third brother, Ye Chen nodded and said: "That's good, Yu Taifu's literary talent and military strategy are not inferior to the prime minister, indeed. He is a suitable candidate. I just don't know what to do with Taifu's wishes?"

"The disciple will abide by the suzerain's decree, and the disciple will definitely do his best to take care of the empire for the suzerain and his brother!" Yu Jinghong didn't expect that this great luck would fall on his head, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

Although the empire will inevitably obey the orders of the Yulongzong in the future, and the king of this country will only be equivalent to an elder of the Yulongzong at most, but after all, he is the king of a country, with great power in his hands, glory and wealth, and Yu Jinghong is dreaming. Unexpectedly.

"Okay, let's set an auspicious day for Yu Taifu to become the emperor!" Ye Chen nodded and said, "As for the officials of the court, you can decide for yourself. General Yu and Xiang Ming can stay to assist Taifu Fu."
