After Jiang Yuan left seclusion.
Empress Qionghua summoned him into the palace again.
The empress's palace is filled with incense, and there is no chill in the conservatory. It makes people feel happy and relaxed.
"Has your... grown?"
Empress Qionghua looked at Jiang Yuan with a shy face, and spoke hesitantly.
"Yeah."
Jiang Yuan felt a little funny when he heard this, but he still nodded.
"I have been on the throne for five years, and I am thirty-five years old this year. Women from ordinary families get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and thirty-five should be the age to become a grandmother."
"Although I am a first-class warrior with a long life span, and I am still in my prime at the age of thirty-five, women are most afraid of aging."
"I once made a bold statement when I was young. If someone wants to marry me, they need to surpass me in both civil and martial arts. Looking at the world, today only There is King Wu who can surpass me in martial arts and martial arts. "
"The country cannot be without a prince for a day, and I am not willing to adopt a descendant of the clan as a son, so... I also ask King Wu to help me!"
At the end of the sentence, Empress Qionghua's eyes became twinkling, and the blush on her face became more intense.
Jiang Yuan responded directly with action. He picked up Empress Qionghua and strode towards the depths of the empress's palace.
It is night.
King Wu stayed on the dragon bed at night and fought with the Empress for three hundred rounds, killing the Empress until she lost her armor.
The second night.
King Wu once again stayed on the dragon bed and fought with the Empress for 500 rounds, killing the Empress again until she lost her armor.
The third night.
…
Finally, King Wu moved into the imperial court and stayed in the Empress's palace every night.
Three months later.
King Wu and the Empress fought for thousands of rounds. Both sides met their opponents and encountered talents. No matter the outcome, the Empress made obvious progress, and King Wu began to become a little unable to resist.
After a heavy rain hits the banana trees, it is the time when the showers first stop.
Jiang Yuan held the empress in his arms and couldn't help but sigh:
"When I was just an eunuch in the cold palace, I always thought about practicing kung fu hard. When I become a first-class master, I will go out to shake things up. I will take charge of the power of the world with my incomplete body and become the number one person under the emperor. Everyone will call me nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old!" It's really unpredictable."
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old?"
"The emperor calls you long live, but you are one year younger than the emperor. You are such a courageous little eunuch!"
"But I am nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old. In my opinion, I might as well call you the emperor's husband. How about nine thousand years old?"
Empress Qionghua stretched out her slender jade-like fingers, drew circles on Jiang Yuan's chest, and said with a chuckle.
/>
"And what I am actually determined to pursue is the pinnacle of martial arts, and to become immortal through martial arts. I really don't care that much about power and status."
Jiang Yuan declined politely.
Three days later.
An imperial edict spread throughout the world.
"It's up to the heaven to carry the destiny, the empress decreed:"
"Today there is Cao De, the King of Wu, who is heroic in martial arts, literary and military, and is unparalleled in the world. Since my rebellion, he has followed me in the south and north, recovered his homeland, and unified the mountains and rivers. His achievements are majestic, and the sun and the moon can be seen."
Since the unification of the world, King Wu has joined hands with me to establish sea bans, develop commerce, collect fields, develop education, organize government affairs, and reform the military. The achievements are now and will benefit the future. "
"I know each other and cherish each other. Comrades of the same mind and virtue, we wish to have a lasting friendship. Now I confer King Wu the title of Emperor Wu for nine thousand years, and give him the title of Imperial Husband. "
"The sky has the sun and the moon, and the earth has two saints. From now on, Emperor Wu and I will join hands to rule the world. Enjoy the ceremony of sacrifice in the ancestral temple, receive the congratulations from hundreds of officials, create a prosperous era together, and create a peaceful scene together."
All civil and military officials had already known that Jiang Yuan had made up for himself and stayed in the empress's palace every night. They also heard that the empress was pregnant today. Although they thought this was a bit ridiculous, it was a historical precedent.
But in order for the empress to give birth to a heir apparent and for the great dynasty to have a successor, they could only hold their noses and admit it.
The sixth year of Tianqi.
The empress gave birth to a son, named Yang Qian, and was granted the title of King Xiaoyao.
The seventh year of the Apocalypse.
The empress gave birth to a daughter, named Yang Meng, who was granted the title of eldest princess.
The eighth year of the Apocalypse.
The empress gave birth to a son, named Yang Teng, and was granted the title of King of Changle.
The ninth year of Tianqi.
The empress gave birth to a daughter, named Yang Qian, and was given the title of Princess Taiping.
The tenth year of the Apocalypse.
The empress gave birth to twins, a dragon and a phoenix, who were named Yang An and Yang Jin and were given the titles of King An Yi and Princess Anping.
In five years, Empress Qionghua gave birth to three sons and three daughters to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan felt that this was enough. Even if the empress was a first-grade warrior, her vitality would be severely damaged every time she gave birth to a child. If she gave birth too many times, her vitality would be lost too much, which may affect her longevity.
Jiang Yuan's three sons and three daughters are all healthy. Jiang Yuan fetched spiritual spring water for them from Demon Island to baptize them, which made all their diseases disappear. He also used his own strength to smoothen their muscles and meridians, laying a good foundation for their future martial arts practice.
No matter who among them inherits the throne and becomes the new emperor of the great cause in the future, he will not be a weak and short-lived emperor.
Under the joint governance of Jiang Yuan and the empress, the national power of the Daye Dynasty was growing day by day, but at the same time, the forces surrounding Daye also continued to grow stronger.
An innate warrior, the Sirius Emperor, appeared in the Northern Plains. He unified the grassland tribes in just three years, and then lay dormant for seven years, which allowed the grassland people to grow in strength. Now that the time was ripe, the Sirius Emperor began to lead the grassland cavalry south frequently.
A Barbarian King, an innate warrior, appeared in the southern Xinjiang region. He unified the Barbarians, Wu Clan, Gu Clan and other tribes, and began to continuously encroach on the territory of the Daye Dynasty.
An innate warrior, Emperor Ying, appeared in the East China Sea Islands. He unified many islands in the East China Sea, established the Ying Kingdom, and repeatedly plundered the merchant ships of the Daye Dynasty.
A new innate warrior also appeared in the Liao Kingdom in the Western Regions named Yelu Rumeng. She was the princess of the Liao Kingdom in the Western Regions and a direct disciple of the Liao State Master.
After hearing about the deeds of Empress Qionghua who ascended the throne as emperor, she decided to follow her example. With the help of her master Yeluhao, the national counselor of the Liao Kingdom, she first became the lord of the Liao Kingdom, and then annexed the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, established the Liao Dynasty, and was respected as the Queen of the Western Regions.
After the establishment of the Daliao Dynasty, it began to have friction with the Daye Dynasty, and the war between them began to escalate.
The eleventh year of the Apocalypse.
The four forces, the Sirius Emperor of the Northern Plains, the Ying Kingdom of the East China Sea, the Liao Kingdom of the Western Regions, and the Barbarian Kings of the Southern Border, all started a war at the border of Daye at the same time, as if they had already discussed it. The Daye Dynasty, which had been peaceful for more than ten years, was at war again!
「It’s the Red Lotus Sect!」
"The Red Lotus Sect brought together the forces of the four parties, allowing them to jointly attack the Daye Dynasty."
"This also included the influence of the remaining Confucian and Taoist families and the martial arts forces of the Daye Dynasty."
"The reforms we have promoted in all parties over the years have not only touched their interests, but also dug up their foundations. If this continues, within twenty years, the imperial power of the Daye Dynasty will be permanent. There will be no civil and military families in the dynasty, no land annexation, and no party formation for personal gain."
"They must take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fight hard. If the Daye Dynasty falls, then they are very likely to make a comeback."
Jiang Yuan's Jin Yiwei compiled the recently collected intelligence and reported it to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh after reading:
"Everyone in the world is an enemy!"
"I now know the reason why monarchs of all dynasties knew the country's shortcomings but were unwilling to promote reforms, because reforms may make the country perish faster."
"But this time, I will never compromise!"
"It's time for me to break through and become an innate warrior!"
