Chapter 223 Ying Que Is Crowned King! The Final Decision!
Inside Tongten Pavilion, there was complete silence.
Everyone was watching the big scene on the other side of the pier quietly.
I heard a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami coming from my ears.
"What is Yingque thinking? What is he thinking?" An elder of Sky Bookstore hissed: "Everyone in the world can compromise, but he is the only one who cannot compromise? Is he going to take advantage of everything by himself?"
"We just asked him to secretly hand over the ninety-seven people on the list to us, but he can't even do this?"
Jiang Renshou also fell into silence.
Because he even told Ning Daoyi that the remaining forces of the expeditionary force in Sky Book City would never return to the Daxia Empire and stay in Kyoto of the Daxia Empire.
As a result, Yingque's reaction was so intense.
He brought hundreds of prisoners and 160,000 heads to represent his victory.
The expeditionary force with Sky Bookstore appeared in front of everyone, pledged their loyalty to the emperor, and publicly slapped Sky Bookstore in the face.
From the beginning to now, Jiang Renshou has somewhat grasped the way to win.
That is, once you are tough, he will always be tougher than you.
Moreover, he can do anything and bear any consequences.
What to do next?
At this time, there was still a vigorous arrival celebration scene at the pier.
Even this cheering and enthusiasm continued into the night.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Countless fireworks burst out over the entire Zhenhai City.
Countless people are celebrating this glorious victory.
Mi Yuyi stood outside watching the fireworks and said to Nangong Judo: "Sister-in-law, look, the Shen Gong family has ruled this land for more than ten years, and they have never received such support."
Nangong Rou did not answer because it was difficult for her to answer this question.
But in fact, this is the case. The Shen Gong family has ruled Zhenhai City for more than eighteen years. All the people have a good impression of the Shen Gong family, and they are even more in awe of Shen Gong Ao.
But if we talk about support from the heart and being completely proud of the people of the Shen Gong family, this is not the slightest bit.
In the minds of most people, Shen Gong Ao is a conqueror, at most a good conqueror, not one of their own.
And once Yingque regains his identity.
In an instant, he became one of his own.
When he won, the entire Zhenhai City celebrated.
This is powerful inertia.
The Ying family has ruled this land for too long.
Whether it's emotionally or blood, they are completely tied up.
…………………………………………
At night, when Ying Que was playing with the baby, Jiang Shouzong came to visit.
Ying Que reluctantly returned the treasure to Xie Fan.
"Yingque, what do you want to do?" Jiang Shouzong said coldly.
Ying Que said: "Jiang Shouzong, I should ask, what do you want to do? Sign the "Zhenhai Agreement" in public, but after I regained Kyoto of the Dongyi Empire, I refused to acknowledge it? Can you afford to lose so much?"
Jiang Shouzong hissed: "Did we say we don't admit it?"
Ying Que said: "But you didn't admit it either."
Jiang Shouzong said: "As long as you agree to our small request and hand over the people on the list, we are ready to admit it. But what are you doing? Not only did you not agree to our request, but you intensified it, letting Ning Daoyi take Tiankong with him. The appearance of the Book City Expeditionary Force and the empire’s public canonization of Ning Daoyi is the most serious provocation to the majesty of Sky Book City.”
Ying Que said calmly: "Jiang Shouzong, haven't you noticed the problem here yet?"
Jiang Shouzong said coldly: "What's the problem?"
Ying Que said: "Domineering and unreasonable, it has completely dominated your thinking, so that you can't find your own problems at all. I just want to ask you, isn't it natural to admit my victory in Kyoto? ? What should have been given to me as a matter of course, but there are still conditions."
"Jiang Shouzong, I deserve something. Do I have to pay extra?"
"I destroyed the expeditionary force of the Western Holy See. Although it was a bit of a slap in the face to Sky Bookstore, weren't you, Sky Bookstore, the beneficiary?"
"I delayed the full-scale invasion of the Western Holy See for at least more than a year, giving Sky Book City enough time to upgrade its army and weapons. Isn't this a huge benefit to you?"
"I am on an expedition on behalf of the empire, but it is also for Eastern civilization, and who is the leader of Eastern civilization? Isn't it Sky Bookstore?"
"I am fighting for you, right? Not only did they not give me any reward, but they did not intend to give me what I deserve. Instead, they blackmailed me first and then prepared to give it to me."
"I want to ask you, with the tone of Sky Bookstore, if I promise you and hand over the ninety-seven people on the list to you. Will Sky Bookstore stop here and admit my victory, or will you Are you trying to blackmail me further?"
"Jiang Shouzong, tell me, if I promise you, will you blackmail me further?"
Jiang Shouzong suddenly fell silent, there was no doubt that he would.
Ying Que said: "The hegemonic thinking has been deeply engraved in your brains, and there is no reason to argue with you at all."
Then, Yingque sneered and said, "Do you know what's so funny about you guys? You're not decisive at all, you're always full of random fantasies, and you always hope others will do nothing for you."
"You first asked Mi Huan to kill me, but it failed."
"I detonated the Tianzhao volcano, successfully wiped out the 200,000 troops of the Western Holy See, and regained Kyoto. As a result, you sent people to the Dongyi Empire and asked Duke Théoden and the Dongyi Empire's coalition forces to eliminate me and recapture the ruins of Kyoto, but still failed."
"From the very beginning, you have been trying your best to spread the word in the Eastern world that I have been defeated and executed by Marquis Mary. It is very humiliating."
"Then they started spreading rumors that my victory was fake and it was a completely false claim."
"In the end, I must be allowed to bring 160,000 heads, Emperor Longfeng, hundreds of prisoners, and the head of Marquis Mary to prove my victory. At this point, it is certain, and the world's public opinion is on me Here, even the countless scholars trained by you at Sky Bookstore are completely on my side."
"At this moment, you are still unwilling to admit my victory. You still want to make me compromise from a high position, forcing me to hand over huge chips, and then consider whether to admit my victory."
"Stop the loss, stop the loss! Jiang Shouzong, are you so hegemonic that you don't even know how to stop the loss?"
"I acknowledged my victory early, so why did I end up at this point today? Did I bring you, Elder Ning Daoyi, to Zhenhai City to slap you in the face? Didn't you foresee this day?"
“We are still trying desperately to fight a public opinion war that we cannot win.”
"When you find that there is no way back in Kyoto of the Dongyi Empire and you are unable to reverse the fact that I have won a great victory, you should decisively stop your losses. When the observation team leaves Kyoto, you should admit my victory. If In that case, will the situation collapse to the point where it is today? Will you be so passive?"
"Now that everything has happened, you come to blame me for trampling on the dignity of Sky Bookstore?"
"The first day you met me, Ying Que?!"
Jiang Shouzong remained silent.
After a long while, Jiang Shouzong said: "Yingque, if you do this, you are really leading both sides to war. Can you really afford such a price?"
Ying Que said: "Jiang Shouzong, I can only tell you that I can afford the price of anything I do. This is not the first day you and I have dealt with each other. Even if the sky breaks through, I have the ability to block it. I Instead, I want to ask you, can you afford the price? "
Jiang Shouzong looked at him, nodded and said, "That's it, I understand what you mean, take your leave."
………………………………
Return to Tsutenkaku.
Jiang Shouzong said slowly: "I have talked with Yingque, and we are both very straightforward."
Then, he pinched his brows and said, "Everyone, we have been dealing with Yingque for more than half a year. You should be very familiar with Yingque by now. He is a very, very difficult person and a very troublesome person."
"But once this person says something, once he makes a decision, he will complete it no matter what the cost."
"So through this conversation, I have roughly judged it. If within a certain period of time, we do not recognize Yingque's victory in Kyoto and the "Zhenhai Agreement", Yingque will fall out, and the imperial court will fall out, and then Directly use force to regain Tianshui Province."
"So everyone, you should have an idea in your mind about what to do."
Everyone present fell silent.
In the last negotiation, Sky Bookstore took the initiative to start the war.
But this time, it was Yingque and the Empire who took the initiative to start the war.
Last time, Sky Bookstore almost chose to go to war. Even at the risk of tearing apart the Eastern world, the majesty of Sky Bookstore must be fulfilled.
At that time, Sky Bookstore still had some righteousness in hand, because Ying Que was the son of Ying Zhu, the leader of the Dark Academy.
But now? !
Can Sky Bookstore afford this battle?
Ying Que's identity was completely cleared.
He has become a hero in the Eastern world, and this victory is enough to clear his identity as the son of the so-called leader of the Dark Academy more than ten times.
Now public opinion and public sentiment are overwhelmingly supporting Ying Que and the emperor.
This victory gave them hope of defeating the Western Holy See and brought them national glory.
If Sky Bookstore does not recognize this victory and does not supervise the implementation of the "Zhenhai Agreement".
The emperor and Yingque chose to go to war against the Mi family and use force to regain Tianshui Province.
Can Sky Bookstore openly send troops?
Do you still need the support of the people?
Do you still want reputation?
Everyone present had only one feeling, Ying Que was right.
When you feel that it is impossible to do, you should stop the loss immediately, and the situation will not collapse to this point.
Is it because the people in Sky Bookstore are not smart? No, it's precisely because they are so smart.
You can always only take advantage and never suffer a little loss.
……………………………………………………
Two days later!
Ying Que led an expeditionary force of more than 10,000 people and held a massive military parade and prisoner presentation ceremony in the square in front of the Marquis Palace of Zhenhai.
More than tens of thousands of scholars and tens of thousands of common people were fascinated by it.
Especially when 160,000 Western Holy See army heads were piled on carriages and passed through the avenue.
All the people, all the scholars, were completely boiling.
This is the brain of Westerners and cannot be faked at all.
Not only human heads, but also dark bat heads, human wolf heads, as few as possible.
The last thing that appeared was the head of Marquis Marie, and a fake body was made for her to parade through the streets.
At this time, everyone knew that this was one of the giants of the Western Church Expeditionary Force, ranking fourth.
Victory, a huge victory.
Suddenly, tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of scholars, and tens of thousands of troops shouted in unison.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
"Long live the empire, long live the empire!"
The voice seemed to completely overturn the entire Zhenhai City.
………………………………………………
After the military parade and the captive offering ceremony ended, countless people were still reluctant to leave.
Prince Lian stood on the high platform, unfolded an imperial edict, and shouted loudly.
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that Duke Ying has made an unprecedented contribution in his expedition to the Dongyi Empire to recover the capital, and is hereby conferred the title of the King of Zhennan in the Empire."
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that the son of the King of Zhennan, Ying Que, Ying Yu, is conferred the title of Duke Ying. This is hereby!"
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that Zhi Fan is conferred the title of the King of Zhennan's concubine. This is hereby."
When these three decrees were issued, everyone was shocked at first, and then thunderous applause broke out.
Ying Que took Zhi Fan and held the baby, who was less than four months old, to receive the decree.
Baby Ying Yu didn't understand anything, and when he saw so many people clapping, he followed suit.
Everyone's eyes fell on the face of this baby.
Oh my God!
This was really born with the golden key.
In just four months, he was conferred the title of Duke Ying.
Then, several eunuchs stepped forward and put on the royal robe for Ying Que in public.
Golden dragon with a black background!
Golden dragon with four claws.
All of a sudden, Ning Daoyi, Shen Wuzhuo, and everyone including Duke Xia Yan bowed to Ying Que.
"Greetings to the King of Zhennan!"
Ning Daoyi, Shen Wuzhuo and others even knelt down to pay homage.
"Long live the King of Ying, long live the King, long live the King!"
……………………………………………………
Ying Que was not surprised by the title of King.
Even most people were not surprised.
There was only one reason, and that was King Mi.
Mi You had been crowned a king before, and if Ying Que was just a duke, he would not be able to suppress the other party with the title.
As the biggest ally of the royal family, he must be crowned a king.
And this time, the recovery of Kyoto was too great, and the title of king was justified.
And many people also knew that now the Ying family and the Shen Gong family were one, as long as the day of defeating King Mi, the title of the Shen Gong family would be promoted again, and Shen Wuzhuo would be promoted to a duke.
This is the power of bloodline in this world.
Normally, the Shen family would never be promoted to dukes in several lifetimes, and they would face the fate of being dismantled, and the emperor would not care.
And even if they were marquises, they would be looked down upon by a large number of old nobles, who thought they were nouveau riche.
And now, Ying Que privately called Shen Wuzhuo elder brother and Mu Hongyu elder mother.
The entire world of nobles immediately recognized that the two families were one.
In the future, the Shen family will be promoted to dukes, justified.
Because there is a king, a duke, and two marquises in the Mi family.
There are three more marquises among the princes who followed the Mi family.
There are a few carrots and a few pits.
Moreover, this time the emperor's imperial edict of enthronement was more than a hundred.
All the generals of the expeditionary army were enthroned.
Even Shen Lingluo, who had just been promoted to the lieutenant general of the imperial navy not long ago, was directly promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Tianshui provincial navy this time.
It made her very stressed, and she forgot to eat and sleep, and studied and trained day and night.
She was afraid that she could not take on this position, and she was afraid that she would be embarrassed.
My hair started to fall out in bunches.
…………………………………………
Prince Lian said loudly: "Order, these 160,000 heads and hundreds of captives will start from Zhenhai City and go north all the way. Let the people of the whole empire see what the invaders of the Western Church look like. Send them all the way to the capital, so that His Majesty the Emperor can see them, and let the people of the imperial capital see them too."
"Yes!"
Then, three thousand troops escorted hundreds of carriages and transported 160,000 heads out of Zhenhai City.
To show it to the whole world.
From here to the capital, it is thousands of miles, and I don't know how many large counties I have to pass through along the way.
And the first stop is Yingzhou.
This is also a war of public opinion, a war of heart.
It is to let the people of the world witness this great victory.
No one can deny it.
Anyone who does not recognize this victory is an enemy of the entire Eastern world.
Prince Lian shouted: "Here is the head of Marquis Mary, the leader of the Western Church's invading army. Hundreds of captives are here, including two earls and six viscounts, all of whom are the backbone of the Western Church's army. 160,000 heads are here, this cannot be faked."
"Faced with such an ironclad victory, some people still refuse to admit it."
"I really want to ask this group of people, do they still have Eastern civilization in their hearts? I want to ask, can such an organization still represent Eastern civilization?"
"I want to warn some people that if you deny the victory of the King of Zhennan, you are denying the entire Eastern world. It is to be an enemy of the empire and the people of the entire Eastern world. We will not agree to it!"
Prince Lian's voice had just fallen.
Tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of scholars, and tens of thousands of soldiers on the scene raised their arms and shouted.
"No, no!"
"Recognize the victory, recognize the agreement."
The voice spread to Tongtian Tower like a tsunami.
Prince Lian said to Ying Que, "King Zhennan, let's go and deliver the ultimatum."
Ying Que said: "Okay!"
Then, Prince Lian and Ying Que walked down the high platform and walked towards Tongtian Pavilion.
The expeditionary force led by Ning Daoyi protected the two.
Tens of thousands of scholars and tens of thousands of people followed behind.
Mighty and dark, it headed towards Tongten Pavilion.
…………………………………………
We walked for half an hour.
Prince Lian and Ying Que came to Lord Tongtian
There is also a huge square here.
Tens of thousands of scholars and tens of thousands of people once again surrounded Tongten Pavilion.
Countless eyes were staring at Ying Que.
Prince Lian and Ying Que stopped at the entrance of Tongtian Pavilion.
"Where is Jiang Shouzong?" Prince Lian shouted.
After a while, the door to Tongtenkaku opened.
Jiang Shouzong walked out with a dozen people.
"Prince Lian, Duke Ying, what do you mean by bringing so many people to surround Tongtian Pavilion?" Jiang Shouzong said coldly.
Prince Lian said: "First of all, I need to correct your title. It is not Duke Yingguo, but King Zhennan."
Jiang Shouzong said: "Prince Lian, King Zhennan, what do you mean?"
Prince Lian said: "That day at the Marquis Mansion of Zhenhai, we signed the "Zhenhai Agreement", the content of which is clear. Once Yingque represents the empire on an expedition to the Dongyi Empire and conquers Kyoto, the Mi family will unconditionally hand over Yingque's skin and return it unconditionally. Tianshui Province. As a witness and supervisor, Jiang Shouzong also signed the agreement, right?"
Jiang Shouzong said: "Yes, there is nothing wrong."
Prince Lian said: "Two months have passed since the observation team investigated Kyoto. I would like to ask, why has Sky Book City not fulfilled the agreement? Why has it not recognized the victory of Kyoto? Why has it not supervised Mi You's performance of " "Zhenhai Agreement"?
Jiang Shouzong said: "Because we have not investigated the relevant matters clearly, we cannot confirm the victory of the Battle of Kyoto."
As soon as these words came out, the tens of thousands of scholars outside suddenly exploded.
"Shameless, shameless!"
“Sky Bookstore is shameless.”
"Sky Bookstore steps down."
An irritated scholar would say anything.
No one dares to scold someone who is so hot-blooded.
You know, all the scholars in the world are the foundation of Sky Bookstore.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Shouzong and other elders could not help but twitch their faces.
Prince Lian said calmly: "It doesn't matter."
"This victory cannot be written off by anyone. It doesn't matter if some people don't admit it. Scholars in the entire Eastern world recognize it, people in the entire Eastern world recognize it, and hundreds of millions of people in the world recognize it." Prince Lian's voice contained powerful internal power. , resounding throughout the square.
Suddenly, tens of thousands of scholars and tens of thousands of people raised their arms and shouted.
"We admit it, we witness it!"
"The King of Zhennan, an unparalleled achievement."
"Follow the agreement, fulfill the agreement!"
Prince Lian said: "We cannot delay this indefinitely, so this is the ultimatum given to you by the Great Xia Empire."
"On behalf of the Great Xia Empire, I officially declare that before November 19th. If Sky Bookstore does not recognize the victory of King Zhennan and does not supervise King Mi's implementation of the "Zhenhai Agreement", then the Great Xia Empire will unilaterally implement the "Zhenhai Agreement" 》.
"The empire will use any means to help King Zhennan regain Tianshui Province. Including but not limited to the use of force."
Jiang Shouzong said coldly: "Do you mean to start a war?"
Prince Lian said: "Yes, if King Mi does not hand over the Tianshui Province by then, the imperial army will not hesitate to rush into Yingzhou, into Prince Mi's Mansion, and occupy the entire Tianshui Province. Anyone who dares to block it will be shot to death!"
"This is an ultimatum written by His Majesty the Emperor himself. Please accept it."
Sky Bookstore Jiang Shouzong's face twitched, and then he accepted the ultimatum.
