Chapter 169: Second Abdication
The top of the Wancheng Kingdom was divided into two factions.
One faction advocates waging war, strangling the threat in its cradle before it grows.
One faction advocates not waging war and using other means of containment.
Or promised that Jiang Ruyue took the initiative to show goodwill, and the two sides signed a "Long-term Friendship Treaty".
But it was immediately opposed by hardliners.
"No! Only by waging war can Dongyuan Continent be contained, and only by war can this threat be weakened!"
"Yes, without the use of force, the good days of our country will come to an end!" said another hardliner.
"However, we can't find any excuse to start a war, Dong Yuan Zhou has repeatedly shown favor over the years, the bilateral trade volume is very high, Dong Yuan Zhou's export of soul stones to our country has increased to 500 tons, and other precious resources have also been exported, in this case, it is a righteous war to start a war. A high-level said with a frown.
"Even if it is unjust, it is better than having a strong opponent in the future and destroying us in turn!"
"Why don't you find an excuse and let the media help hype it up, didn't dozens of tourists in my country be attacked and killed in Dongyuanzhou last year?"
"No, this matter has been properly disposed of, and each family member has paid 100 million, without too much accusation, it is useless to take it out and fry cold rice. ”
The country's chief payment Yunxiao shook his head and said: "With the strength of Dongyuan Continent, if you want to take them, there are no more than 1,500 Type 5 Lingyuan warships, it is simply impossible, we only have 1,000 at present, and the population of the monk class in Dongyuan Continent has exceeded 8 million people, which is only slightly less than that of our country. ”
"It's better to agree to Jiang Ruyue's proposal, and the two sides sign a "Friendship Treaty", this world is so huge that it can accommodate two big countries. ”
The world is so big that it can accommodate two big countries.
This sentence was actually said by Jiang Ruyue in a diplomatic letter, she said that the world has a vast territory and countless Yuanzhou, so why should she focus on the Eastern Yuanzhou? If the Wancheng Kingdom develops to the west and the Eastern Yuan Kingdom develops to the east, and each expands its power, I don't know how many years before it is possible to meet, why bother to defeat each other at the origin and become mortal enemies of each other?
Although Fu Yunxiao knew that it was Jiang Ruyue's inducement plan, he had to admit that there was some truth.
"There is room for two big countries in this world, not to mention that the two countries are close at hand? Head of state, start a war, you can't fight it!" A hardliner in the military was still unwilling.
"You can't tolerate it personally! If you want to fight alone, you will either win the support of all the soldiers and the majority of the people, and without these, you must not start a war!"
Fu Yunxiao patted the table and said.
Two days later, a large amount of hype appeared in thousands of media in China about the "Dongyuanzhou threat theory", with a very terrifying headline and worrying content.
According to a number of media surveys, the proportion of people who support the use of force once reached 70%.
However, a number of articles refuting the "Dongyuan Continent threat theory" appeared together, and calculated that the human losses paid by the Wancheng Kingdom may exceed 20 years of expansion war, and the public opinion in favor of the use of force has fallen to 40%.
Many peaceful people have also voiced through various channels not to fight an unjust war.
The hardliners are furious, but they are helpless.
In addition, although the generals and soldiers of the Wehrmacht are very obedient to the orders of the upper echelons, 50% of the soldiers still privately say that they do not want to fight Dongyuanzhou.
The military and the people did not fully support it, and the war plan was naturally put on hold.
Dong Yuanzhou can be regarded as having escaped a catastrophe.
The Eastern Yuan Kingdom was officially established.
Because it is an imperial system, it is also declared to the outside world as the "Eastern Yuan Empire".
After the grand coronation ceremony, Jiang Ruyue changed from Her Royal Highness the palace lord to Her Majesty the Empress, and since then the emperor has been in the world, becoming the emperor of the first national polity within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles.
It is a historical precedent.
People are expecting that a great country will go to glory under the leadership of this emperor.
However, when it was only two years after he was crowned emperor, and all the undertakings of the Eastern Yuan Empire were developing day by day, there was another huge turmoil within the empire.
It is known as the "Second Abdication Turmoil".
Jiang Ruyue abdicated again.
And it lasted quite a long time, a full 128 days.
Why did she abdicate this time?
Her mother.
She wanted to release her mother, the female demon who had been locked up in the Demon Suppression Tower for more than 60 years.
This is also another wish of hers, in addition to unifying Dongyuan Continent, another lifelong wish to be fulfilled.
It has even been ranked first above the establishment of the Eastern Yuan Empire.
Now in her heart, only this wish has not been fulfilled.
So after making sure that all aspects of the empire were basically stable, she wanted to fulfill this wish.
But the opposition, the overwhelming opposition.
There is hardly any support.
"Your Majesty, no!"
"The female devil is extremely harmful, and she must not be released!"
"This female devil can only be suppressed by Zhang Sheng, if it is released, it will only cause a monstrous disaster!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"When the female devil comes out, my Dongyuan Kingdom will be ruined and turned into nothingness. ”
"Your Majesty, the female devil is not an ordinary person, there is absolutely no possibility of repentance and goodness, and she must be suppressed forever. ”
Even though Jiang Ruyue repeatedly promised and swore that her mother had repented, and after she came out, she would live in peace and would not do anything that hurt heaven and reason, but no one believed it, and they all believed that it was the female devil's trick to confuse her, and after being released, it was impossible for her not to harm people.
After all, in the past few decades, in all kinds of folklore of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, under all kinds of oil and vinegar, the female demon in the Demon Suppression Tower has become the most evil person in the world, she represents evil, represents the fear in people's hearts, and represents the symbol of evil that is most impossible to change.
Now it's time to release the female devil.
It is to release the fear in people's hearts and release the greatest devil in the world.
How can people not be worried? How can they not object?
Even if she is the biological mother of Her Majesty the Empress, people will not choose to accept it.
Abdication.
Jiang Ruyue could only come up with the trick of abdication, crying silently in front of millions of people, hoping that they would fulfill her wish, a daughter who wanted to be filial to her mother's wish.
This touching filial piety was accepted by people, and they all understood it very much, and even moved to tears.
But release the female devil, don't support it, never support it.
Don't dare to support it.
Because the shadow cast by the female devil on this land is so big and too big that it has lingered, and people are afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past.
Jiang Ruyue could only announce her abdication, lay down her power, and no longer deal with any government affairs.
Only 10 days after the abdication, the Eastern Yuan Kingdom fell into obvious chaos.
On the 30th day, many parts of the work were paralyzed.
On the 50th day, the abdication has had a significant impact on the normal life of ordinary people.
On the 100th day, under the Demon Suppression Tower on the mountain behind the Xiaoyao Palace, tens of millions of officials and people had gathered, kneeling on the ground, and implored Her Majesty the Empress to come back to manage the country.
On the 120th day, the entire Eastern Yuan Kingdom was in turmoil, the order collapsed, and it fell into chaos.
On the 121st day, some officers and soldiers of the Guards Corps staged a mutiny, dispersed the tower guarding monks stationed under the Demon Suppression Tower, forcibly opened the Demon Suppression Tower, and asked Her Majesty the Empress to leave the tower (in the past hundred days, in order to avoid the advice of the ministers, Jiang Ruyue also entered the Demon Suppression Tower) and continue to lead the country.
As for Her Majesty's mother...... Your Majesty can also bring out, if something goes wrong, they will solve it.
Yes, these officers and soldiers of the Guards Legion, whose loyalty to Her Majesty the Empress has reached a feverish level, are not afraid of any female devil, they are afraid that if the country continues like this, the country will not be a country, and sooner or later it will be torn apart, and they will mutiny to put an end to this situation.
What if the female devil comes out to plague the world?
They are warriors, so let them die at the hands of the female demon first.
It was with this consciousness that the mutinous soldiers were completely open-minded.
So, in the frightened eyes of millions of officials and ordinary people, Jiang Ruyue pulled her mother, who had long hair and mopped the floor and had an abnormally white face, and walked out of the Demon Suppression Tower.
But after coming out, the female devil only stayed outside for seven days.
Seven days later, while Her Majesty was kneeling and crying, the female demon walked into the Demon Suppression Tower by herself.
Yes.
In this world, Jiang Ruonan cannot be tolerated.
On the first day that the female devil head came out of the tower, nearly 80% of the officials submitted their resignations to Jiang Ruyue.
The next day, 88 cities declared their secession from the Empire.
On the third day, the number of cities that broke away from the empire increased to 321.
On the fourth day, the remaining three major sects began to recruit troops and plot a rebellion.
On the fifth day, nearly half of the members of the party she formed announced their resignation.
On the sixth day, except for some of the Guards Legion, Jiang Ruyue found that there was no one to carry out and obey the orders she issued.
So there was a scene that happened on the seventh day, the female devil took Jiang Ruyue's hand and said with a kind face:
"Child, I've had a great time these days, I'm really happy, but it's time for me to go back, it's time for me to go back to my home, in this world, only there, is my home. ”
"Mother!"
"Mother!!"
Jiang Ruyue dragged her hand and cried bitterly, and finally helplessly, watching the door slowly close, kneeling on the ground, her heart like a knife.
The female demon head returned to the Demon Suppression Tower, and the Eastern Yuan Kingdom quickly regained its calm.
