From the pure blood dragon clan, I started to become a human being

Tai'an Capital, Imperial Palace, Grand Court Meeting.

The emperor revealed a barely perceptible hint of relief.

"Second Prince, be crowned the King of Dongwu, and Wuzhou will be established as a vassal."

"The third prince will be named the King of Northern Han and Xiongzhou will be his vassal."

"The fifth prince will be named the King of Xiliang and will be enfeoffed in Qingzhou."

"Crown Prince Zhao Kai will inherit the throne tomorrow."

Immediately after the imperial edict was issued, an old minister from the Ministry of Personnel stood up, knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and then began to almost wail.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! The prince Zhao Kai has neither military merit nor civil governance. How can he win the support of the people and get the officials to serve him?"

As a participant who has already placed his bet, the old minister would never allow the throne to be decided in such a ridiculous way.

"Beating to death." The emperor said calmly.

Two Praefectus Urbi immediately stepped forward and dragged the old minister away.

"Your Majesty, the minister is speaking from the bottom of his heart. He is wholeheartedly working for the country, so we should not criticize him too harshly."

The head of the Lu family was forced to step out. He was the Minister of Rites, and every action of the emperor today was a slap in his face.

"Let them be beaten to death together," the emperor continued.

Patriarch Lu: “…”

Crazy, really crazy!
The two were dragged out of the hall one after another, and all the officials were silent.

The emperor's current state is obviously abnormal. Rather than being a wise and arbitrary act, it is better to see it as a last-ditch effort to vent his anger.

"The country is in ruins, and I must do my best to turn the tide. The millions of troops from Beimang are marching southwards, and if we are not careful, China will sink. I have decided to die before the soldiers at the border. My dear Jiang, you are the best man in the world. Can you send me to the Beiliang border before sunset?" asked the emperor.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Zhang Julu's hands and feet turned cold. Everything is excessive or insufficient. The emperor died facing north. It sounds tragic, but if the degree cannot be controlled, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing.

"His Majesty……"

"Prime Minister, I died on the border of Beiliang. How dare that guy rebel? No need to say more."

The emperor picked up an imperial edict from the side of the dragon throne. It was one of the twelve edicts issued three days ago. He intercepted it later and made some slight changes.

"Lord Jiang, how about I trade you a King of Ji for a fight? I heard that you are fond of martial arts books. You can use the martial arts in the Nine Tripod Tower of the Imperial Palace as you wish."

Hundreds of Praefects of the Guards stepped forward, not to intimidate the number one man in the world, but to restrain the civil and military officials to prevent these guys from stopping them.

"Your Majesty, please think carefully. Too much is as bad as too little." Jiang Yuan said calmly.

"My mind is made up." The emperor said resolutely. Even if he died, he would not only protect the foundation laid by his ancestors, but also leave his name in history.

Jiang Yuan nodded and drew his sword from his waist.

All the Praefectus Guards became nervous, and the three Praefectus Guards in the lead were even more nervous as they were facing a powerful enemy. Only a person of the First Level could discover that the moment the sword was unsheathed, the sword energy filled the entire hall.

The ceremonial sword came before the emperor like a living thing.

"Your Majesty, just stand on it. Even though the capital is thousands of miles away from the frontier, this sword can still take you there before dark." Jiang Yuan said. His sword-wielding skills were mediocre and not particularly advanced. The real point was the majestic aura that was enough to sustain the consumption of a sword strike thousands of miles away.

"My dear, you are truly a god."

The emperor stepped onto the ceremonial sword, invisible sword energy steadied his body, and then a stream of light flew towards the sky.

All the officials seemed to be still in a dream. Everything that happened today was extraordinary.

"Your Majesty, please ascend the throne." The Minister of War was the first to react and spoke quickly, trying to make a good impression on the new emperor.

Zhao Kai, who had suddenly become the crown prince, was also a little confused. The other three brothers looked at him with hatred, but they also knew that there was no chance of success in the coup. Han Shengxuan, Liu Haoshi and others only obeyed the emperor's orders, including the Praetorian Guards, who were not people who could be bribed. What's more, the attitude of the number one man in the world had not yet been clarified.

……

In the evening, Beiliang, Hutou City.

As the most powerful city in the northwest, it is guarded by Liu Jinu, the most powerful general among the Northern Liang generals.

With 20,000 elite infantry, 20,000 auxiliary troops, 3,000 heavy cavalry, and 10,000 main cavalry coming to support, all the defensive lines are impregnable, and they have the ability to fight back at any time. In the future of the original world line, this city has wiped out nearly 100,000 troops of Beimang.

Outside the city, about five thousand cavalrymen were fighting. The Beimang emperor's tent moved south, and a million troops marched south. It was expected that the national war would break out completely within the next three months. During this period, important links such as troop deployment, weapons reserves, and granary construction must all race against time. The current small-scale confrontation was a tacit test and training between the two sides, just like two wild beasts patiently sharpening their claws and fangs before fighting each other to life and death.

Liu Jinu stood on the top of the city wall and observed the cavalry fighting below. Hutou City was the gateway to Liangzhou and the focus of the border defense line. He was ready to defend his city until his death.

In the afterglow of setting sun, a streak of light flew in from the horizon.

All the soldiers in the city were attracted by the sharp sound of breaking through the air.

The man came wearing a dragon robe and a crown, with twelve pendants hanging from them with colorful pearls.

Even without these iconic things, Liu Jinu recognized the other person's appearance. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the other person was still a prince. He once reviewed the three armies on behalf of the previous emperor. The old soldiers in the past were all deeply impressed by him.

"I have seen your majesty. I wish your majesty a long life, long, long live."

Liu Jinu knelt down and saluted, with cold sweat dripping down his cheek. He really didn't know why the emperor came to this border.

"Liu Huer?" The emperor recalled for a moment and spoke.

"Your Majesty once patted me on the shoulder." Liu Jinu replied. As for the "bad name" Hu'er that he had when he was a child, he no longer used it after he became a general.

Seeing their commander kneeling down and hearing the shout of "Long live the emperor", the soldiers on the city walls knelt down one by one and the salute eventually spread to the entire city. The emperor's presence was an unimaginable encouragement to the soldiers on the front line.

"I will die after sunset. It was the King of Ji who handed me a sword to send me here during the day. I have only one wish in my life, which is to chop off the heads of the Northern Mang soldiers. Not many, one is enough for me to laugh at the late emperor and ancestors after I die. But I don't know how to fight, so General Liu, can you accompany me to be a little unrestrained for once?" The emperor said, "If the war is tight, then forget it, I will listen to you."

Liu Jinu felt an inexplicable heat in his hands and feet. He knew that he was absolutely loyal to the prince, and that fighting outside the city was not in line with the strategic significance of Hutou City. However, the emperor personally asked for it, and was so tactful that he simply could not refuse.

"Your Majesty, there are 3,000 Northern Wilderness cavalry outside the city. If we can eat them all, it will be a great achievement."

"Please, General, hold my horse for me."

"promise."

A quarter of an hour later, ten thousand cavalry and ten thousand infantry came out of the city. The former charged forward madly with high morale, while the latter formed a battle formation and were responsible for supporting the emperor to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

The man in dragon robe holds a saber, and on both sides are fierce and wolf-like soldiers with red eyes.

"Press it up, press it up for me!"

The three thousand Beimang cavalry seemed to have anticipated the attack. Faced with the army's advance, they charged forward head-on, intending to fight to the end.

After the two sides fought for a round, the sound of horse hooves like thunder suddenly rang out on the ground.

As the sun was setting, a black wave was approaching rapidly. Thirty thousand cavalrymen under Helian Jiang joined the battlefield. Each of them had dry and chapped lips, and it was obvious that they had rushed all the way here.

Liu Jinu on horseback had a dazed look on his face. Helian Town was two hundred miles away from here, so how could he possibly catch up by chance? But if he had set out early, who had leaked the news of the emperor's arrival? In the entire Beiliang, probably only the masters in the palace might have noticed it.

"Your Majesty has misled Beiliang so much!"
