Chapter 96: Conferring the title of Northern King
Time flies.

Another five days passed.

With Yan Chen's support, Dayu's deteriorating situation was eased.

All the surrounding countries that were ready to make moves have stopped their military operations, including the Great Yan Dynasty which had just occupied Changzhou. They have now stationed troops on the border and stopped advancing southward.

During this period, the empress was not idle. She convened parliament many times, deployed troops, balanced the forces of various parties, put down domestic rebellions, suppressed various forces, and retreated to her old nest.

The entire dynasty temporarily returned to stability.

But
Everyone knows that beneath this calm surface, undercurrents have long been surging.

As long as Ye Jiuxing is not eliminated, the Dayu Dynasty will never be truly peaceful, and there will be another catastrophe.

There is only one choice before the empress, that is
Cooperate with Yan Chen to set up the formation!

Before the formation was set up, Ye Jiuxing was delayed to prevent him from marching south.

what can we do about it?

The empress pondered for several days but could not come up with a good idea.

It happened that at this time, Wang Ya returned from Changzhou. When the empress learned about it, she immediately summoned Wang Ya to discuss important matters.

"His Majesty!"

In the imperial study, Wang Ya bowed respectfully.

"Please get up!"

The empress waved her hand, her expression solemn and majestic, "My dear minister, do you have a good plan to delay Ye Jiuxing for a month?"

"A month?"

Wang Ya was a little confused.

Why delay it for a month?
The empress patiently explained: "This is what happened. Five days ago, Yan Chen came to me and used the name of Wuchang Mansion to suppress the surrounding countries."

She told him the details of the whole incident.

After hearing this, Wang Ya frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "May I ask your Majesty, why did Yan Chen help the Great Yu Dynasty?"

"This"

The empress was startled, thinking of Yan Chen's extraordinary behavior that day, her cheeks flushed, and she shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but it is undoubtedly a good thing that Yan Chen is willing to help the Dayu Dynasty!"

Wang Ya noticed the change in the empress's expression and became puzzled. Could it be that Yan Chen likes Her Majesty?

It's possible!

Your Majesty's appearance is so stunning that no one can compare to it. Perhaps it can really charm Yan Chen.

The hero has a hard time being a beauty!
No?
Wang Ya thought about this and stopped thinking about it.

Just as the empress said, it is a good thing that Yan Chen is willing to help the Dayu Dynasty. They should grab this life-saving straw and pass on the Dayu Dynasty.

If the empress and Yan Chen really had a relationship, Dayu might not be without the possibility of further development.

One month!

Arrange a formation to defend against warriors at the ninth level of the Saint Realm!

Wang Ya's eyes flickered and he fell into deep thought. What method could he use to delay Ye Jiuxing for a month?

Send troops to intercept?

No!

Once a military conflict occurs, the situation of the Dayu Dynasty will become even more difficult!
Looking at Dayu, only the imperial city still has a small number of troops.

In addition, the battle of Wangxing City killed many powerful people of the Dayu Dynasty, including the ancestors of the royal family, and there were no other strong people who could be mobilized.

If you have no soldiers and no generals, how can you fight the enemy?

"We can only be gentle!"

After a moment, Wang Ya exhaled and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the most urgent thing is that we must appease Ye Jiuxing!"

The Empress asked, "How to appease her?"

"Seal the king!"

Wang Ya cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you can write an imperial edict to enthrone Ye Jiuxing as the King of the North, add the title of Imperial Master, and let him rule over Xingzhou and Liangzhou. Grant him the supreme status of a king or prince, eliminate hostility, and thus achieve the effect of withdrawing the troops!"

Hearing this, the empress's face turned ugly. Crowned as a king?

She wished she could pull out Ye Jiuxing's tendons and skin him alive, to torture him to death, to vent her hatred. Now, when she heard that she had to please Ye Jiuxing and give him a promotion, she was naturally unhappy.

The empress frowned and asked in a cold voice: "Is there any other way?"

"I am incompetent!"

Wang Ya smiled bitterly and knelt on the ground to apologize.

If you can’t win, just give in!
This is the best way. Moreover, to make Ye Jiuxing a king, it only takes an imperial edict and does not require much cost. The only thing that needs to be sacrificed is the dignity of the royal family.

But dignity must be based on strength.

Dignity without strength is a joke and no one cares.

Does the Dayu royal family have the power?
there is none left!
How is it possible to protect your dignity and maintain a superior attitude when you have no strength?
The empress remained silent. She also understood this truth, but she had been taught since childhood that she must defend the dignity of the royal family no matter when and where.

The Dayu royal family is the most supreme existence in this land.

The empress never thought that one day she would give in.

Or he gave in to the ministers who once looked down upon him.

At this moment, she felt like she had eaten a fly and was extremely disgusted.

Wang Ya knelt on the ground and waited for a while. When the empress did not speak, he said, "Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to protect the country's foundation!"

If the country is gone, is there still a royal family with the surname Zhao?

"Kunimoto!"

The empress was awakened, her expression changed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "As you say, go and convey the imperial decree! Northern King, one day, I will take back the honorific title!"

"As ordered!"

Wang Ya got up from the ground and instinctively ignored the second half of the empress's words.

Ye Jiuxing has become a great man.

It would be difficult to defeat Ye Jiuxing and take back the title of King of the North by relying solely on the power of the Dayu Dynasty, unless one could get the full support of the Wuchang Palace.

Thinking of the relationship between the empress and Yan Chen, Wang Ya felt a glimmer of hope.

What if it happens?
The day.

Wang Ya led the team again and headed to Wangxing City.

He did not dare to delay and traveled day and night. It took him only two days to arrive outside Wangxing City. He found that Wangxing City had been repaired and there was no trace of it.

In addition, Wang Ya also found that the city was carefully decorated, as if some grand ceremony was going to be held.

"Who?"

As soon as Wang Ya and his group approached, they were locked by a terrifying aura.

Immediately afterwards, a general wearing armor and with a sturdy build walked out. His facial features were dark and he looked a little fierce. He held an axe in both hands, giving people a huge pressure.

"Meet the general!"

Wang Ya looked solemn, and quickly explained: "I am the Prime Minister of the Great Yu Dynasty. This time I brought an important decree and wanted to meet Lord Ye Jiuxing!"

"People from Dayu?"

Li Kui narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold murderous look flashed across them, but after thinking about it, he withdrew his killing intent. After all, he was an envoy of a country, and if he killed him rashly, he would definitely be scolded.

He glanced at everyone coldly and said in a deep voice: "Wait a moment, I will go and report!"

After a while, Ye Jiuxing learned that Wang Ya was coming to visit and looked surprised.

Wang Ya!

The original owner's political enemy caused trouble for him many times.

Are you sending your head here from a thousand miles away?
Ye Jiuxing didn't think too much and said to Li Kui: "Bring the person in!"

Li Kui nodded, and soon he took Wang Ya into the hall.

When Wang Ya saw Ye Jiuxing, he immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations, King of the North. His Majesty has issued an order to appoint you as King of the North, the Grand Master of Dayu, and to rule over Xingzhou and Liangzhou!"

"From now on, you are the most noble person in the Dayu Dynasty!"
