More children, more blessings, starting from marrying a wife to fight for world hegemony

After Lu Chen became emperor, he immediately caused panic among the people. The people in the capital knew what Lu Chen did in the North Kingdom.

In order not to cause panic among the people, Lu Chen immediately promulgated some tax reduction policies, which temporarily stabilized the people, and Lu Chen did not immediately have the land measured.

The most important thing now is not the land policy, but the complete quelling of the civil strife in Daxia.

Nowadays, there are two main "rebel" forces in Daxia, one is King Zhao, and the other is the eldest prince.

To be honest, Lu Chen didn't want to see Daxia soldiers killing each other and consuming Daxia's strength, so he decided to solve the problem from the top.

After directly dealing with King Zhao and the eldest prince, the soldiers around them naturally surrendered.

Before taking action against the eldest prince and King Zhao, Lu Chen decided to give them a chance, so he immediately issued an announcement, publicizing all the bad things the Demon Cult had done, and blaming the Demon Cult for Emperor Xia's death. .

In the announcement, Lu Chen called on all forces in Daxia to see clearly the evil nature of the Demonic Cult and not to cooperate with the Demonic Cult. If they continue to cooperate with the Demonic Cult in an attempt to split Daxia, he will send troops to put down the rebellion.

Because of the existence of newspapers, Lu Chen's announcement quickly spread throughout Daxia in a short period of time. King Zhao and the eldest prince naturally also saw Lu Chen's announcement.

In a certain city.

King Zhao was in the courtyard, picking up the newspaper and reading the announcement issued by Lu Chen repeatedly. At this time, his subordinates were standing in front of him, looking at him anxiously.

The fact that Lu Chen had four heavenly beings beside him had long been spread throughout Daxia. After all, when Lu Chen attacked the capital, so many people were watching.

As soon as this news came out, it shocked all the forces in Daxia that were ready to move. In the past, Daxia didn't even have a single celestial being. As a result, four celestial beings suddenly appeared next to King Bei. If they still go against Bei King, I'm afraid All that greeted them was destruction.

Recently, some aristocratic families that originally supported King Zhao have begun to distance themselves from King Zhao. Although the Northern King is not kind to the aristocratic families, the Northern King will not go on a killing spree against the aristocratic families. At most, he will take back the land ownership.

If those aristocratic families still follow the rebels, then those aristocratic families may not only lose their land, but also their heads.

Because of this, King Zhao's power suddenly became much weaker, and he lost a lot of supporters.

Seeing King Zhao looking at the newspaper in his hand repeatedly, one of his subordinates couldn't help but asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

"King Bei not only has such a powerful weapon in his hands, he even has four heavenly beings standing on his side."

As soon as this subordinate finished speaking, another subordinate followed him and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, this announcement issued by the Northern King is obviously for us and the eldest prince. If we do not surrender to the court, I am afraid the Northern King will regard us as They were eliminated together with the forces colluding with the Demonic Cult."

King Zhao's subordinates were not fools either. They could also see that King Zhao was clearly in doom.

The strength of the Northern King is too strong. No, he can no longer be called the Northern King, but the new emperor.

The new emperor has the support of four heavenly beings. Based on this alone, it is impossible for their rebellion to succeed.

Although they have never seen a real heavenly being take action, in their opinion, one heavenly being can destroy an entire army of theirs in an instant.

As long as the gods are around, they have no chance of winning.

Although none of King Zhao's subordinates said so directly, King Zhao could tell from their tone that his subordinates had already thought of surrendering.

If they continue to fight, they will definitely die.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran into the courtyard in a panic and said: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Mu Changtian has led an army of 200,000 people to the outside of the city!"

Hearing this, King Zhao was startled.

It came so fast!

Only a few days after this announcement was issued, Mu Changtian began to mobilize troops.

At this moment, another soldier ran in from outside the courtyard, "Your Majesty, the King of the North has sent someone to deliver a message!"

After the words fell, the soldier handed the letter in his hand to King Zhao.

King Zhao frowned, took the letter from the soldier's hand, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, and read it carefully.

Lu Chen's meaning was very simple. King Zhao was his uncle, so he would not embarrass him. As long as he was willing to lead the soldiers to surrender, he would not hold him responsible for anything, but he would not be allowed to enter politics in the future.

Lu Chen has no intention of purging all the members of the Lu family royal family. The clan still has some effect on him. If all the clan members are gone, it is very likely that he will not be able to suppress the outsiders in the future.

Moreover, after Lu Chen turned over the scroll in the secret room, he discovered that King Zhao had indeed always been a member of Emperor Xia. King Zhao seemed to have rebelled, but he took the lead in killing other vassal kings, leaving no vassal in the south. king.

Originally, according to Emperor Xia's original plan, after Lu Chen was destroyed, King Zhao would take the initiative to hand over his military power and give up his fiefdom, and then Daxia would no longer have a vassal king.

It's a pity that Emperor Xia met Lu Chen, and his plan failed. Emperor Xia failed, and King Zhao's position became more embarrassing.

Emperor Xia and King Zhao only kept in touch secretly. Without Emperor Xia, King Zhao would be a real traitor.

So Lu Chen decided to give King Zhao a chance to see how he would choose. If King Zhao wanted to avenge Emperor Xia, then he would send King Zhao to accompany his father.

If King Zhao chooses to surrender, then King Zhao will be placed under house arrest in a place and his fiefdom will be recovered, so that he will no longer be allowed to interfere in politics in the future.

King Zhao looked at the letter in his hand and fell into deep thought. After a long time, King Zhao sighed.

It seemed that Lu Chen had to help him realize his brother's unfulfilled dream, but he didn't know if Lu Chen was a pawn of a certain force.

But now he couldn't help but think too much. No matter what Lu Chen said in the letter was true or false, the only way he could go now was to surrender.

Thinking of this, King Zhao looked up at his subordinates and said: "The new emperor has sent a letter. He said that as long as I take the initiative to hand over military power and fiefdom, he can forget the past and you will still be Daxia's soldiers from now on."

Hearing this, everyone in the courtyard fell into silence. They also realized that the letter sent by the new emperor must be to recruit them.

But it's hard to say whether the new emperor's promise in the letter will be fulfilled. As an emperor who has just ascended the throne, he will never allow anyone who threatens him to exist.

In other words, once King Zhao surrenders, King Zhao is likely to be liquidated in the future.

When King Zhao saw that his subordinates fell silent, he continued: "You have been with me for decades, and you know that I am not the kind of selfish person who insists on dragging you to death together."

"Now that the situation is over and I have decided to surrender, if the new emperor wants to kill me, then let him kill me."

"You are soldiers of Daxia. I believe that the new emperor will not liquidate you. The new emperor has great ambitions and will dominate the world in the future. You will still have a chance to obtain military honors by then."

After hearing what King Zhao said, one of his subordinates stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

"Once you really surrender, the new emperor will inevitably go back on his promise. You are now the most threatening to the existence of his throne. How can he let you go!" King Zhao said: "You don't need to say anything, I have made up my mind."

"Let's do this. If you want to surrender with me, then stay. If you don't want to surrender, go south and join the eldest prince."

"Since the eldest prince chose to go south from the beginning, it proves that he is not willing to give in and still has ideas about that position. Now is the time for him to hire people. If you follow him south, he will definitely re-use you."

This……

Everyone in the courtyard looked at each other, but in the end no one stood up and said they wanted to follow the eldest prince south.

They knew very well that with the support of four heavenly beings, Lu Chen's throne was secure. Even if they went south to follow the eldest prince, they would not end well in the end.

It is better to surrender with King Zhao now. As King Zhao said, the new emperor has the ambition to unify the world. He needs them to attack other dynasties for him in the future. They also have a role in the new emperor, so the new emperor Most likely they will not be liquidated.

Seeing that no one came forward, King Zhao continued: "Since you have all decided, then go to the city gate with me."

Then King Zhao stood up directly and led his men to the tower.

At this time, Mu Changtian was already waiting outside the city. He did not let the soldiers attack. He believed that King Zhao was not a fool. He didn't know what to choose at this time.

After seeing King Zhao appear in the tower through the telescope, Mu Changtian immediately shouted: "King Zhao, how are you thinking?"

"The new emperor has ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world. Don't miss this opportunity."

"If there is no reply today, I will attack the city tomorrow."

King Zhao glanced at the Northern Army, and then said to the soldiers behind him: "Raise the white flag!"

The soldiers were stunned when they heard this, but they quickly reacted and hung up the white flag with their hands and feet.

For the soldiers of the Zhao army who had seen the weapons of the North, they had no fighting spirit at all. When they heard that King Zhao had chosen to surrender, they were extremely excited, so that they would not have to face the mysterious weapons of the North.

Oh no, there is no longer the Northern Kingdom, the Northern King is the new emperor, and now they are facing the imperial court

Seeing the white flag hanging on the city tower, Mu Changtian smiled faintly, but he did not let the soldiers come forward immediately. It was not until the city gate opened and King Zhao came out of the city that Mu Changtian truly believed that King Zhao had surrendered.

Mu Changtian immediately led his army to the city gate. After Mu Changtian got off his horse, he looked at King Zhao opposite and said, "King Zhao, you made the right choice."

King Zhao laughed, and then said: "I'm not sure whether this is correct. Maybe after I return to the capital, the new emperor will reward me with a glass of poisonous wine."

Mu Changtian said: "I don't know if there is poisoned wine, but as far as I know, the new emperor is not a murderous person. Even Prince Qi's family is living well now."

"Not only King Qi, but also the princes in the capital are all alive. Even the maids and concubines in the palace, the new emperor has all been released from the palace, and he has also directly abolished human sacrifice."

Hearing Mu Changtian's words, King Zhao still didn't take it seriously, "The new emperor has just ascended the throne. Isn't it natural that he will show mercy?"

"After some time, maybe within half a year, the princes in the capital will die one by one due to various reasons."

Mu Changtian did not continue to defend himself, but said: "I believe you will make your own conclusion after you meet him whether His Majesty is such a person."

King Zhao said at this time: "It's better not to talk about me. I am very curious about you now. How did you survive in the first place?"

Mu Changtian said calmly: "All this is thanks to Your Majesty. Your Majesty anticipated that the Mu family was in danger, so he sent people to save the Mu family. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I would have died at the hands of the late emperor's shadow guards. "

Hearing Mu Changtian's answer, King Zhao said with emotion: "It seems that everyone missed it at the beginning!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I will follow you to the capital."

King Zhao had made up his mind to kill Lu Chen if he wanted to. When he was heading to the city tower just now, he had already sent his cronies to escape from the east gate and asked his cronies to inform his family about his surrender.

If I haven't written to them, it means that something happened to me in the capital. When the time comes, their family will immediately find a way to remain anonymous or find a place to hide.

Seeing that King Zhao was so direct, Mu Changtian no longer hesitated. After receiving King Zhao's hundreds of thousands of troops, he sent someone to escort King Zhao to the capital.

at the same time.

A certain city in the south.

The eldest prince Lu Yi also held a newspaper in his hand and browsed the announcement sent by Lu Chen.

Lu Yi's face was extremely gloomy after seeing the content posted by Lu Chen. Although he had expected that Lu Chen would ascend to that position, he did not expect that Lu Chen would actually get the support of four heavenly beings.

That is a heavenly being!

Among the forces that follow him, there is not a single heavenly being.

What to do now?

Although they have made weapons similar to those used by soldiers from the Northern Kingdom, they are obviously much less powerful. The most important thing is that they do not have enough raw materials to make such weapons now, and Lu Chen has already issued a notice.

If he didn't surrender, then Lu Chen would definitely say that he was colluding with the Demon Cult, and then send an army to encircle and suppress him.

and many more……

Demonic Cult?

Lu Yi suddenly thought of something. He once heard someone from the Taiyin Sect say that the leader of their Taiyin Sect was a being whose strength exceeded that of heavenly beings. However, due to some reasons, his strength had not yet recovered.

Lu Yi thought in his heart that if he could establish a relationship with the Taiyin Sect again, maybe he would not have no chance.

But the key question now is how to establish a relationship with Taiyin God Cult?

In the past, he had contacted the Taiyin Sect through the Xue family and Xue Linglong.

But now the woman Xue Linglong has disappeared. Some time ago, news broke out in the Northern Kingdom that when Xue Linglong came to find him, she encountered bandits, and then all of them were killed.

Lu Yi naturally didn't believe that Xue Linglong was dead. After all, Xue Linglong was from the Taiyin Sect. Although he didn't know what status Xue Linglong had in the Taiyin Sect, the Taiyin Sect sent an elder beside her to prove that Xue Linglong is still of some use to the Taiyin Sect.

He did not believe that the Taiyin God Church killed Xue Linglong, or saw anything happen to Xue Linglong.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi immediately said to the people around him: "Immediately send someone to search for the Crown Princess. No matter what method is used, we must find her."

"You want to see people when you're alone, you want to see your corpse when you're dead!" (End of this chapter)
