Chapter 97: Spectatorship
Make the king!

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, everyone, including Ye Jiuxing, was stunned.

What did they hear?

The lingering Dayu court wants to crown Ye Jiuxing, who is at the peak of his career, as a king?

“This is a joke!”

After hearing this, Li Kui's eyes widened and he couldn't help but mutter.

Ye Jiuxing's mouth twitched, but he said nothing.

An imperial edict?

But whose edict of peace was issued after a military defeat?

It has to be said that Ye Jiuxing was confused by the court's actions. He looked through the original owner's memories and found that although the Dayu court had no capable ministers, it was not so foolish.

Wang Ya swallowed his saliva. He felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. Could it be that Ye Jiuxing and others were too shocked?
Correct!
possible!
Make the king!

In this world, how many people can resist the temptation of becoming king?
What's more, the imperial court granted Ye Jiuxing the two places of Xingzhou and Liangzhou with a wave of its hand, named him the King of the North, and also appointed him as the National Master, placing him above millions of people.

Perhaps, at this moment, Ye Jiuxing had already been overwhelmed by joy.

Wang Ya thought about it, took out a bright imperial edict, and said with a smile: "Northern King, please accept the edict!"

boom!
The voice just fell.

Wang Ya felt a huge force coming at him. He staggered a few steps and almost fell flat on his face.

"Who?"

Wang Ya stabilized himself, turned around suddenly, and roared in anger.

Li Kui retracted his right foot and said viciously: "Old man, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will chop you to death with an axe!"

Wang Ya looked at Li Kui, who had a dark face and a fierce look, and felt a chill in his heart. He did not dare to speak, and turned to look at Ye Jiuxing, and said with a bow: "Northern King, your subordinates are too vulgar and do not know etiquette!"

"Ouch!"

When Li Kui heard this, he was immediately displeased and waved his axe, saying, "Old man, you still dare to complain? I'll kick you to death!"

As he said that, he kicked again.

This kick was obviously much more powerful, directly kicking Wang Ya several feet away, and he hit the wall before he stopped with difficulty.

Li Kui was still not satisfied, so he walked forward and started kicking him again.

Seeing this, everyone did not stop it.

Complain?

You came to our territory to show off your power, so we are being kind by not chopping off your head with an axe.

Wang Ya was beaten so hard that he cried for his parents. In the end, he didn't even have the strength to scream.

"stop!"

Seeing that Wang Ya was breathing in more than out, Ye Jiuxing called Li Kui, stood up, walked forward and said, "Wang Ya, go back! Tell the empress that I will establish a country, start a national war, completely destroy the Dayu Dynasty, and kill all the royal family members to comfort the spirits of the nine Ye clans in heaven!"

His voice was cold, like a knife, piercing into Wang Ya's heart.

"you"

Wang Ya tried hard to open his red and swollen eyes, tremblingly stretched out his right hand, pointed at Ye Jiuxing and said: "Traitor! Dayu has the support of Wuchang Mansion, you can't succeed!"

Ye Jiuxing heard this and smiled slightly, "Then we'll see!"

After that, he said coldly: "Send the guest away!"

"Ye Jiuxing, if you dare to establish a country, even if it is your death, Wuchang Mansion will not let you go."

Wang Ya's eyes were red and he cursed loudly.

Li Kui frowned, knocked Wang Ya unconscious with an axe, grabbed the latter's clothes and dragged him out of the city lord's mansion, leaving a faint bloodstain on the ground.

"Seal the king!"

Ye Jiuxing sat back in his seat, pondered for a moment, and thought: "It seems that the Great Yu Court wants to delay time. I don't know what kind of cooperation has been reached between the Great Yu Court and the Wuchang Mansion!"

Lu Bing stepped forward and said, "Please rest assured, my lord. The Jinyiwei is investigating this matter and I believe there will be a result soon!"

Ye Jiuxing nodded, then looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "How are the preparations for the founding ceremony going?"

"It's basically ready!" Zhuge Liang stepped out and said, "However, the spectators have not yet been determined. Please let us know!"

Spectators!

Ye Jiuxing thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "The surrounding countries have returned to peace. It is most likely due to the pressure from the Wuchang Palace. We are enemies of the Wuchang Palace. Even if we invite the surrounding countries, I guess no one will come!"

“This part will be cancelled.”

At this point, Ye Jiuxing seemed to have thought of something, and changed his words: "We can achieve today's achievements because of our unity. We don't invite other countries to watch the ceremony, but we can invite the soldiers in the army to watch!"

"They are our most important guests!"

Ye Jiuxing's eyes lit up slightly, and he smiled and said, "We can use this incident to tell all the soldiers in the army that I care about them very much and have never forgotten my meritorious officials!"

Zhuge Liang added: "This move can also strengthen the cohesion of the army, win the hearts of the people, and make them follow the lord to the death!"

Kill two birds with one stone!
Watch the ceremony!

Inviting other nations is just a face-saving measure.

However, inviting military officers and soldiers can bring many tangible benefits.

Wouldn't it be more meaningful?

"That matter"

Ye Jiuxing smiled and said, "That's it!"

"My lord is wise!"

Cao Chun bowed and said loudly: "If this order is spread out, won't those little brats scream with displeasure?"

"Hahaha!"

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.

The day.

Ye Jiuxing’s orders were conveyed to all the major legions.

After hearing the content of this order, all the military camps were in an uproar.

"real or fake?"

"Can we also participate in the founding ceremony?"

"Really! This is what the Lord said himself. He wants to complete the founding ceremony together with the soldiers who follow him."

Many soldiers discussed this.

There was a look of longing on everyone's face. They were all low-class people who might die on the battlefield tomorrow. They wouldn't even have a decent tombstone. They were like dust in the wind, extremely small.

but.
Who doesn’t want to be valued?
That is why they felt incredible after hearing Ye Jiuxing’s order.

In their minds, those who can participate in the founding ceremony are the powerful. As the rulers of the country, they enjoy special rights, and participating in the founding ceremony means reaping the fruits of victory.

Throughout history, there has never been an ordinary soldier who participated in the founding ceremony of the country as a guest.

"General, how do we determine the number of participants in the founding ceremony?"

"Is it because of military merit? Since the Yongcheng Uprising, I have killed more than 20 enemies, so I am definitely qualified!"

"Reckless man! I am in charge of logistics, ensuring the frontline troops are well prepared and never make mistakes. Am I not qualified to participate?"

"Dear godfathers, please give the place to my child."

"Get lost! I don't have an unfilial son like you!"

After the excitement, everyone calmed down and focused their attention on the quota.

Even though they normally have such a close relationship that they can wear the same underwear, but in this matter, neither of them gave in, and they were so angry that they almost rolled up their sleeves and started a fight.

This scared the generals at all levels. If bloodshed occurred because of this incident, it would be their dereliction of duty.

So they quickly held a meeting to discuss the method of drawing lots.

Draw lots!

See who has better luck!

They are all meritorious officials and are eligible to participate in the founding ceremony, but the number of places is limited, so it depends on who has better luck.
