Chapter 366 Encouragement
On this day, the Imperial Palace.
The Yan King was wearing a royal suit and a crown on his head, and naturally sat on the dragon throne.
In the Imperial Hall, there were a large number of Yan State ministers standing.
These people were not here before, but were only rushed from Yandu today.
"The ministers are not staying in the capital, and they run to the imperial capital. What does this mean?" King Yan asked.
Hearing this, a minister immediately bowed down and said, "Report to my king! I heard that the king owns the imperial capital and has also received the imperial seal. This is really the will of God!"
"What...what do you mean?" King Yan's heart moved.
The minister said, "Since it is God's will, the king should follow the laws of heaven and be respected by the nine five!"
"What!?" King Yan suddenly widened his eyes when he heard this. Similarly, his heart also felt surging.
During this period, he lived in the palace every day, exercising royal etiquette and holding the imperial seal in his hand. It is conceivable how could he have never thought of becoming an emperor?
But this matter was too serious and he didn't dare to mention it easily. However, now that it was brought up by the minister, it would naturally be different.
He was about to say something, but at this time, all the ministers in the hall knelt down and even said in unison:
"Please follow the way of heaven, and give the honor to the nine fives, and be the emperor's throne-"
All the ministers knelt on the ground in unison.
Looking at the scene in front of him, King Yan was stunned for a moment and was stunned for a long time without reacting.
What followed was undoubtedly excited.
He swallowed hard first, and then pretended to say, "This, this... I am a king's title, how can I dare to take the throne of the emperor."
"Oh, King!" A minister said anxiously: "You are very talented and wise, and there are more than tens of millions of people in the country. Now, God has also given the jade seal. Who else is qualified to be emperor in this world except you..."
"Yes, the world has been destroyed for a long time, and the Shang family has been dead in name only. The king deserves to be emperor..."
"King! I think that the imperial palace and the imperial seal are all in the hands of the king. What does this symbolize? It symbolizes the king of the world. If the king refuses to go further, it will go against the will of heaven..."
"Yes, King, please accept Lord Liu's words and Kaiyuan proclaims emperor..."
People shouted again and all tried to persuade King Yan, why did this be so? It was just that they wanted to go further. How could the ministers of the vassal states compare with the ministers of the imperial states?
Once King Yan proclaims himself emperor, these people are likely to be founding meritorious deeds and will be awarded titles, which is also a common human nature.
Seeing this, King Yan couldn't help but murmur: "The king of the world... the king of the world..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but open the brocade box on the imperial desk, took out the jade seal, couldn't let go, and looked back and forth.
Seeing this, the ministers looked at each other, and then another minister took the lead and said again:
"If the king refuses to respond, I will kneel down and die here..."
"Oh! Everyone is up quickly, all of you will get up quickly, why is this? Why is this..."
King Yan said repeatedly, pretending to behave: "But this is not a trivial matter after all, I have to consider it..."
No matter what the Yan King is facing today’s discussion, he was undoubtedly excited, and the words of the ministers all came to his heart.
A few days later, Jie Liang, the adviser of Yan State who heard about this, rushed here urgently, and immediately asked to meet Yan King in the study of the palace.
At this time, in the study, King Yan was still playing with the jade seal, holding it in both hands, and flipping it.
After Jie Liang knelt down and saluted, he also glanced at him and said casually: "Aiqing Jie, do you know the origin of this jade seal?"
"I have heard of it a little."
Jie Liang said: "At the time when the founding emperor led his troops to kill the violence, he passed through Zanglong Mountain and saw a divine bird living in bluestone. He felt something was wrong, so he made a blow to open it. After obtaining this divine jade, he was carved by a magic craftsman and thought it was the imperial jade seal.
Kame: Become the command from heaven.”
"It seems that Xie Aiqing understands this jade." King Yan sighed: "Accompanies the order from heaven, and is ordered from heaven, okay, good..."
He kept nodding, looking intoxicated. Seeing this, Jie Liang frowned and bowed his hands and said, "My king, I have something to report, but I am afraid that my loyal words will be unpleasant."
"Oh? Xie Aiqing is not here to persuade me to ascend the throne, right?" King Yan finally took back his mind from the jade seal and put it on the table at the same time.
I thought that Jie Lianghui was like those ministers, but the latter said directly: "No! The king cannot be called emperor!"
"What did you say!" Hearing this, King Yan was unhappy and his brows frowned.
Jie Liang said: "Although the imperial power is weak now, the emperor is still there, and the people of the world follow the Shang family. If the king proclaims himself emperor, it is tantamount to usurping the rebellion. The world's finger will point here! Yan Kingdom will also be in danger.
It's the ground!"
"Nonsense!" The Yan King was not willing to listen. Now that the jade seal is in his hand, he has been blinded by the mind:
"Our Yan Kingdom has a vast territory. I have 600,000 powerful soldiers under my command! Who dares to compete for the country in the world? Compared with this, what's the point of Shang family? If I don't call myself emperor, who is worthy of being called Emperor!"
He was arrogant. When Jie Liang heard this, he said anxiously: "King, if you become emperor, the kings in the world will definitely not accept it!"
"Who!? Who is not convinced?" King Yan asked with a glaring look.
"For example, King Qin, he will definitely send troops to attack our Yan Kingdom on this ground!" Jie Liang said.
"King of Qin?" King Yan sneered and said disdainfully: "What is his Qin army? Do you really think I am the King of Jin? Let's talk about the King of Qin, a civilian and a small infantryman, how can he be compared with the king and prince!"
"But he is indeed the king."
"So what!" said Yan King: "I only need to win over the Ling Kingdom and make the Ling King stand on my side. Even if the sky attacks the Yan Ling Kingdom, I will not be afraid!"
Hearing this, Jie Liang shook his head slowly.
Then, he knelt on the ground and advised seriously: "I beg the king to give up the idea of becoming emperor, otherwise the disaster will not be far away!"
"You!" Yan King was so angry that he couldn't help but point his finger at him.
Jie Liang continued to kneel on the ground and said sadly: "Please listen to me--"
All the ministers advised him to advance, but he was the only one who opposed him. It can be imagined that with the current nature of Yan King, he was undoubtedly angry and even slapped the table.
"It's outrageous!"
He shouted sternly.
Jie Liang knelt on the ground, his body tightened, but he still said, "Your Majesty, I heard that good medicine is good for the disease, and honest words are good for the action--"
"Bold! You are the only one who is a loyal minister! All the civil and military officials in the court are all treacherous!?Yeah!?"
"Master--"
Jie Liang was advised to death, and King Yan was confused by the palace jade seal. In the end, he even left in a furious manner, leaving Jie Liang alone.
Chapter completed!
