I Have A Qi Fortune Altar

Chapter 1831: Chapter 868: The Emperor Leads the Expedition Personally! (Part 3)

"You no longer think of him, but now that Wang Ping has resigned from his title and returned to Ping’an County, wouldn’t you occasionally think of this person?"

"You, ah, are thinking too much. I know Wang Ping’s nature best; it wasn’t a deliberate refusal but a genuine desire to return to Ping’an County to live out the rest of his life."

"I don’t mean it that way. My meaning is that Wang Ping may be closer to the former Government Official Chen Yuan in Ping’an County rather than the current Holy Martial Emperor Chen Yuan.

When you think of him, he becomes Government Official Chen Yuan."

"Alright, enough. Why have you come over?" Chen Yuan shook his head; any more and it would become sentimental, especially with a man, which he was really not accustomed to.

"Your Majesty, why not take a guess?"

Su Ziyue blinked and spoke softly.

"Has there been trouble in the harem?"

"None of the sisters are the type to make a fuss; what trouble could arise? You, ah, perhaps read too many novels and think there’s truly palace intrigue under my rule?"

Su Ziyue gave Chen Yuan a sideways glance.

With her means, the other sisters together couldn’t match her, at most only Pingyang could rival her, but Pingyang is by no means foolish.

To rise from a newcomer to the unique Imperial Concubine, the key is that the other sisters have no objections, proving she possesses some skill as well.

"Then just say it; don’t keep us in suspense."

"Well, since we’ve founded the nation... several sisters suggested that tonight... everyone might together challenge you, Holy Martial Emperor." Su Ziyue giggled.

"All of them?"

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrow.

He has indeed never experienced the chaos.

Why not....

A reckless time?

"What, is the Holy Martial Emperor afraid?"

"Afraid? I don’t even know how to write the word afraid!"

"So...."

"Well then, return to the palace!"

...

The specifics can’t be elaborated, but Chen Yuan alone suppressed Su Ziyue and all the women, making them kneel at his feet, begging the Holy Martial Emperor for mercy.

....

In the first year of Great Yan’s Holy Martial Emperor, July 21st.

It’s been exactly five days since the founding ceremony, enough time for the world to absorb the news, and Chen Yuan indulged himself quite well for several days.

Meanwhile, the new court rapidly unified within these days.

After all, everyone had already prepared for this; now it’s just a matter of adapting, and everyone feels excited facing the rising dynasty.

This is a flourishing era, and they are participants.

Chen Yuan divided and stationed four different surname princes in various areas, established a mighty fort in Lanzhou called Xihai Pass, commanded by Prince Pingxi Chen Huaiyi with thirty thousand elite troops stationed there.

The mission is to teach the thirty-six nations well, to changing their mindset; the era when Spirit Mountain was the Western Regions’ sky is gone forever.

Nowadays, the sky is Great Yan.

As for the military power within the Central Plains, Chen Yuan divided it into several parts, under his command, he remains the actual commander of the three armies, but some affairs are handed over to others.

Aside from the military, there’s the Jinyi Guard, absorbing the former Jin Heavenly Patrol Bureau, its power is even more formidable, surveilling the entire Human World.

Jinyi Guard’s Great Governor Jiang He is among the few authoritative figures in the court, capable of deciding life and death for thousands, trusted and relied upon by Chen Yuan.

Apart from these two parts, the remainder is the civil official system.

He still implements the separation of powers, although the civil officials are too weak due to their lack of strength, Chen Yuan thus orders the establishment of a national academy, allowing scholars to cultivate as well.

As for when they can prosper, that depends entirely on themselves.

After all, they have been given the chance.

As for Chen Yuan’s uncle Wu Daozi, he also refused Chen Yuan’s reward like Wang Ping, quietly returning to Shu’s Chen Family Village, continuing his cultivation and self-nurturing.

Chen Yuan didn’t stop him, nor could he.

When everything fell into place, that was also the moment of Great Yan Dynasty’s first court assembly.

In the Golden Throne Hall.

Chen Yuan entered from the side door, step by step under the gaze of civil and military officials, walked to the dragon throne, waved his dragon robe, and slowly sat down. He... completed the goal he set initially.

Step by step, step by step, reaching the pinnacle; now, he is supreme.

"Long live the Emperor!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

Led by civil and military officials, all officials bowed together in salute.

"Rise, ministers."

The mighty thunderous sound reverberates through the heavens, echoing in the Golden Throne Hall, as if an invisible force elevated everyone, allowing them to stand, and continue in unison:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"What petitions do the ministers have?"

Chen Yuan looked down upon the hundreds of officials below.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have a petition!" Jinyi Guard’s Great Governor Jiang He stepped forward and bowed.

"Speak."

"Prince Zhen Nan relayed the petition to the minister, stating the Southern Border demon tribe frequently harasses the frontier, viewing our Central Plains citizens as blood food; I boldly request Your Majesty to dispatch troops, head south to conquer the demons, for the eternal peace of the Central Plains Human Race!"

Though the demon tribe has fled, it doesn’t affect recounting their past crimes.

"I second this; the demon tribe should be eradicated, and the Human Race should rise!"

"I second this; for thousands of years, the demon tribe has been a grave danger to our Human Race. Now that the strength of Great Yan sweeps through the Human World, it’s time to seize the opportunity to completely eliminate this threat."

"I second this; Your Majesty is a ruler for the ages, must obliterate the demon tribe for full achievement."

"I second this...."

One by one, civil officials and military generals continuously second the proposal to head south to conquer the demons, for this is the established national policy, now merely going through the motions.

No one would be foolish enough to voice opposition.

Because the court lacks neither powerful figures nor foundation; the task of easily exterminating the demon tribe, whoever dares to hinder, shall be swept away by the overwhelming tide!

Chen Yuan stood up, waved his dragon robe, gazing at the united civil officials in court, spoke solemnly:

"The thousand-year blood feud, it’s time to end it. I decide to personally lead the campaign, march south, and wipe out the Southern Border demon tribe, granting eternal peace for the Central Plains Human Race!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty....."
