Tianyu Continent, Gregorian calendar year 19969, October 1st.
On this day, the Chu Yan Dynasty officially changed its name to the "Hualong Dynasty".
The day when he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor was set five days later in early summer.
According to the custom of the emperor's enthronement in the past, all friendly neighboring countries will be invited to witness and hold celebration banquets to enhance relations between the two parties.
However, this time, the neighboring countries who received the invitation were indifferent.
He even took this opportunity to make a big fuss and abolished all previous agreements with the Chu Yan Dynasty.
According to their words, now that the Chu Yan Dynasty has been destroyed, the terms of the agreement must also be invalidated.
This wave of operations seemed reasonable, but it directly caused the Hualong Dynasty's economic system to lose nearly half.
In this regard, Ye Yang remained silent throughout the whole process, until the day he ascended the throne, the first imperial order he issued was to send out troops to conquer.
If you can truly do it without moving, your movement will shock the world!
With the modern armed forces of the Special Forces, facing the enemy with cold weapons, they are undoubtedly as powerful as a cannon and marching straight in.
In this battle, the three neighboring countries that broke the treaty were defeated one after another. Not only did they regain their lost territories, they also surrendered and became vassals of the Hualong Dynasty.
In terms of record, it far surpasses the previous Chu Yan Dynasty!
Such powerful and fierce defense of sovereignty earned the people in the dynasty great respect.
However, what really made them recognize Ye Yang as the new emperor was not the war, but the changes in policies and systems.
Ye Yang not only abolished slavery, but also copied the governance methods of the area where Meteor Island was located and issued ID cards for every dynasty citizen.
Each household was even given a few acres of land to work on, so that everyone could have food to eat.
This kind of policy is completely an epoch-making reform.
For a time, Ye Yang's reputation among the lower-class people of the Hualong Dynasty suddenly reached an unparalleled height.
However, these political reforms were not beneficial to all aspects, but instead affected the aristocratic class.
In the conflict of interests, although they complained, they did not dare to make mistakes.
After all, with how highly the people now respect Ye Yang, if the aristocracy really wants to make any rebellion, even if Ye Yang doesn't take action, those people will work independently to safeguard the Ye family's imperial power.
At that time, once a war breaks out between the people at the bottom and the aristocratic class, I am afraid it will no longer be a feudal society, but will directly enter the level of a democratic society.
However, any change in the institutional system needs to be gradual.
If you enter a democratic society too quickly, you will end up destroying the seeds and encouraging chaos, which will inevitably lead to chaos.
Therefore, in this regard, Ye Yang chose to use powerful means to suppress the aristocratic class that was ready to move and avoid causing civil strife.
At this point, all the forces in the Hualong Dynasty were completely calmed down.
During this period, more than three months have passed.
"Being an emperor is really not that easy."
In the hall, looking at a table of thick memorials, Ye Yang sighed secretly in his heart, and suddenly felt that one was as big as two.
It feels like I was as carefree and happy as before when I was a lord, leaving all affairs to Tang Jinyao and going wherever I wanted.
Even after more than two years of experience, Meteor Island can still operate as usual.
However, affairs in the entire dynasty are complicated now, and almost every major matter needs his seal and decision as the emperor, leaving very little free time for cultivation.
"It seems that a centralized body must be established to decide matters through a voting system."
Suddenly, Ye Yang had the idea of becoming a hands-off emperor.
As soon as the idea came up, it was immediately implemented.
A group of cronies were summoned that day.
These people are none other than Tang Jinyao, Ye Wencheng, Lu Hong, Ye Yunpeng, Qin Nong and others.
However, just when the meeting was halfway through, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in the Palace Square.
This person is currently suspended in the sky above the square.
She has long black hair, fluttering in the wind, and a look of arrogance on her young face.
There is a mole on the left side of his face, which doesn't look very handsome.
"This is an important part of the palace. No one else is allowed to approach. If you don't want to be punished, leave quickly!"
The imperial guards on the imperial wall shouted a warning.
A group of archers also loaded their bows and aimed at the arrogant young man.
But soon, the imperial guards recognized each other's clothes.
On that green robe, there was a crimson sun totem embroidered, which was obviously a sect costume.
Qingyang Sect!
Upon seeing this, the captain of the Imperial Guard, who was leading the group, was slightly startled.
When Chu Haoyan ascended the throne, people from the Qingyang Sect came over.
That outfit was exactly the same as the person in front of me.
Qingyang Sect is an independent sect.
In the world of sect martial arts, he belongs to a third-grade sect.
Unlike Lingxuanwu Sect, it has the protection and resource provision of Qixuan Holy Land.
Therefore, part of Qingyang Sect's resources come from dynasties in the secular world.
There are nine dynasties under its jurisdiction.
In the past hundreds of years, the Chu Yan Dynasty was one of them.
But now, the Chu Yan Dynasty has changed its name to the 'Hualong Dynasty', and the envoy sent by the Qingyang Sect obviously wants to reset the corresponding offerings.
"A bunch of humble ants, finally recognized my identity."
The arrogant young man narrowed his eyes slightly and stared down at the imperial guards with disdain in his eyes.
Unless he was performing sect missions, he really didn't want to deal with this group of low-level warriors.
Above the square, Zhang Jin looked sternly and said loudly and energetically: "I am the envoy of the Qingyang Sect, 'Zhang Jin', and I will call your new emperor to come out to greet him immediately."
It is indeed Qingyang Sect!
When they heard the other party reveal his identity, the guards all felt their hearts sinking, and their expressions instantly became serious.
"Put down your bow and arrow quickly!"
The leader of the Imperial Guards, the captain, hurriedly ordered the archers to remove their guard, for fear of offending the Qingyang Sect envoy.
Immediately afterwards, one of the imperial guards immediately ran into the depths of the palace to report.
"Yes, I have a sense of awe and know that our Qingyang Sect is not an existence that can be offended."
Looking at the nervous expressions of the imperial guards, Zhang Jin sneered, with a look of superiority on his face.
"I heard that the person who seized the imperial power of the Chu Yan Dynasty this time is a direct descendant of the Ye family."
"This time I met him, I just wanted to know if he is really as powerful as the rumors outside."
Zhang Jin had a playful smile on his lips, folded his hands in front of his chest, and waited patiently for Ye Yang to come and greet him in person.
