On this day, the sky was clear and the blue clouds were picturesque.
The warm light shines on the earth, covering the famous ancient city of Yangzhou with a bright coat. Countless glazed tiles reflect the colorful light, making it beautiful.
Today, Yangzhou City is destined to become a place that attracts worldwide attention.
As the sun rises, Yangzhou City is already noisy and full of people. The flow of people in the streets and alleys is like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea, converging towards the large square in the middle of Yangzhou City, with a huge momentum.
At this time, 50,000 troops were already stationed in the square surrounded by the standard stone walls of a mid-city city. They were mainly deployed around the central ring, along the main roads and on the stone walls.
Fifty thousand troops, more or less, is enough to make countless rebels hesitate, but it is not enough to make people afraid to enter.
Around the square and outside the ring, there are seats arranged in a stepped manner, which is somewhat similar to the stadium seats in Wu Xin's previous life. This is also Wu Xin's suggestion. Based on the size of the seats, it can accommodate about 100,000 to 150,000 people, so naturally it is not afraid of a mere 50,000 troops.
Those who can be present are basically monks, either martial arts or literature cultivators. Without an army of ten times more, they won't pose much of a threat at all.
Not only the venue of the conference, but now the army in Yangzhou City is about 500,000, and the number of heroes, anti-traitors and martyrs from all sides who have arrived in Yangzhou is at least 200,000. If the Sui army wants to encircle and suppress it, it will be asking for death.
This is also one of the main reasons why more and more people believe in the imperial court.
Three poles in the sun...
The vast square is already crowded with people, the oval seats are almost full, and there are many people gathered outside the wall. All kinds of discussions are rolling like waves.
If you want to enter the venue, the requirements are very low. The only requirement is that you must be at the third level of physical training and above. Everyone, regardless of gender, old or young, can do it.
Sitting north and facing south, the seats in the north are naturally where the representatives of the imperial court sit.
The patron king Yang Lin was in Tianyao Yuwen Chengdu, supported by four generals including the Four Treasures General Shang Shi and his apprentice, the Eighth Horse General Xin Wenli, and the Golden Sword General Zuo Tiancheng, plus four great monks and more than a dozen civil servants and generals.
Under the crowd, a high platform protruding more than ten meters to the north was built.
The blood demon Luo Shixin, the ancient barbarian emperor lion, the silver demon Pei Yuanqing, Wen Zhongzi Wang Tong, and the general Wen Lie who were seconded by Yang Lin were also present, but they were around the high platform. They naturally represented the imperial camp, but they also represented
Their respective background forces, such as King Xiewu, Pei family, Li family, Wang family, etc., are forces loyal to the court.
As for other people, the conference can't control that much. This "King Conferment Conference" only looks at strength and not the other cases.
No matter you are a rebel, a wanted criminal, a barbarian, etc., you can participate, and there will be no prosecution for any case during the period.
"The Great Sui Dynasty, the mighty world. In this prosperous age when all the heroes came together and the heroes were all-powerful, the Holy One showed the heart of heaven and made plans for the common people. He specially organized the 'King Conferment Conference'..."
As soon as Yang Lin and others took the stage, the tidal atmosphere was basically calm. After all, most of the participants did not come here intentionally to provoke the court. This is also a grand event for the world, and troublemakers may cause public outrage.
Of course, the army covered with stone walls and the imperial Qi refiners and great monks standing everywhere are not just decorations. If you dare to cause trouble, they will step in to quell the chaos.
At the beginning of the conference, people sang praises as usual. Anyway, Yang Lin said it, everyone listens, it’s up to you to believe it or not.
"At this conference, a king, four princes, and eight princes will be determined. They will be officially canonized by the court and enjoy corresponding levels of treatment and salary..."
"The winner of the first prize will be specially awarded the title of 'King Wu', or he will be given the title of king of his own design. He will enjoy the benefits of the title of a county king, a salary, and a piece of purple jade royal order. He will be awarded the first honor and title in the world, and will be rewarded with tens of millions of gold and thousands of pieces of brocade.
, a hundred beauties, a top-grade heavenly skill, a top-grade divine weapon, a set of low-grade armor, and a hundred miles of fiefdom..."
"It is hereby explained that if the winner is willing to be loyal to the imperial court and be conferred the title of 'Great General King' by the Holy Order, he can build his own army and dominate the country."
All kinds of praises and virtues were ignored by people in boredom, but the mention of formal rewards immediately caused huge waves in the whole audience.
"King Wu? Isn't King Wu the title of King Xie Wu? The imperial court actually used it as a reward and didn't care what King Xie Wu thought?!"
"You have already said that he is the Evil King of Martial Arts. The Evil Martial King is the Evil Martial King and the Wu King is the Martial King. How can it be the same? The best in the world. If not the Martial King, what would you call him? Could it be called the Martial God? The imperial court is not qualified to confer a god..."
"That's not the case! The patron king said that you can decide the title of the king yourself. If you use the title of 'King of Martial', you are enmity with the evil King of Martial for no reason..."
"What a generous reward! Is the imperial court crazy? It is willing to give out one king, four princes, eight princes, and so many titles..."
"The Sui Empire...has really fallen! Various titles can be obtained so easily, just based on strength!"
"You don't understand this. In times of trouble, the imperial court is obviously trying to win people's hearts. Don't you hear? Those who are loyal to the imperial court will be named generals and kings, build their own army, and dominate the country..."
"What a generous reward! This is a soaring rhythm..."
…
All kinds of comments came and went, like the buzzing of a huge swarm of bees. However, the shock given to countless people was the same.
"quiet!"
Yang Lin, the patron king, waited solemnly for a moment to let everyone digest the shocking information before shouting.
The sound was not loud, but it spread clearly throughout the entire audience, showing Yang Lin's terrifying strength.
"Below the king, there are the four princes, who are the second to fifth in this conference..."
"The Four Dukes, the imperial court specially granted the title of Duke to the East, South, West, and North. They can also designate their own titles and enjoy the treatment and salary of the Duke. For this Duke, a gold medal will be rewarded with millions of gold, thousands of brocades, and beautiful women.
Ten people, a middle-grade heaven-level skill, a middle-grade divine weapon at the heaven-level, a set of high-grade earth-level armor, and a ten-mile fiefdom..."
"I hereby explain that if the four princes are willing to be loyal to the imperial court and be conferred the title of 'Great General' by the Holy Order, they can command an army alone and be majestic in the world!"
The secondary reward has obviously dropped to a lower level, which is too different. The excitement caused is no less than that of the king.
Looking at the world, there are only a handful of people who are confident of winning the championship. It is estimated that except for the recognized number one person in the world, the monkey demon Li Yuanba, no one has confidence or even an idea. They just want to look familiar and gain some prestige.
Now, the imperial court has actually given out titles and rewards to the Four Dukes and Eight Marquises. This is the greatest good news. This is the real goal that countless heroes are fighting for.
For example, Luo Cheng, the Jade Face Silver Spear, if he wins, he only needs to be one of the Four Dukes. His title will be directly higher than that of his father Luo Yi, and his position will even be much higher. Luo Cheng is fully confident that he will win one of the Four Dukes.
.
For example, Master Shang, Xin Wenli and others believed that they were no match for the invincible general Yuwen Chengdu, but they were confident of fighting against one of the Four Dukes. Even though they were all called generals, it was just a title and was not officially recognized by the court.
, there is an excellent opportunity right in front of you.
For example, Dong Gong Zhai Rang, Daliang King Li Gui (little ghost emperor Li Chuze), White Horse General Liu Heitai, Fengming King Li Zitong, etc., they are famous anti-kings. However, they are looking forward to whether the imperial court will officially canonize them, regardless of the imperial court
Admit it or not, the benefits are bound to be endless if you gain a reputation.
It is worth mentioning that Li Zitong, who calls himself King Fengming, has just been chased away by King Xiewu like a dog, and defeated by Du Fuwei, but he came to participate in the conference without hesitation, and even brought the Wu brothers with him! (
