Chapter Ninety-Six: The Price of Strength Improvement
"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, we have decided to support you to become the emperor, of course you can afford our salute!"
"Generals, please hurry up, now that I am not the emperor, you don't have to be like this. ”
Zhao Huizong hurriedly helped Yue Mochen and the others up one by one, and then patted the dust on the trouser legs for the generals one by one.
Looking at Zhao Huizong's behavior at the moment, Yue Mochen couldn't help but nod secretly, and said secretly in his heart: "After having support, I can still maintain neither arrogance nor impatience, my demeanor is peaceful, and I can have such a heart, it seems that I really didn't see the wrong person." ’
·······
After a while, Zhao Huizong had already supported all the generals and patted all the dust off their bodies for them.
This also made these generals have a good impression of Zhao Huizong in their hearts.
"Your Majesty, now as long as you give an order, even if we can lead a large army to attack the imperial city, I wish you to ascend the throne!" Yue Mochen walked in front of Zhao Huizong and said in a firm tone.
"Please also ask Your Majesty to give an order!" After Yue Mochen's words sounded, the generals also immediately echoed.
"Thank you for your kindness, I understand it, but now my identity is probably still difficult to convince the public, and I am afraid that I will not be able to assume the position of the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Zhao Huizong thanked the generals and rejected everyone's proposal in a tactful tone.
Hearing Zhao Huizong's words, all the generals looked at each other, and finally turned their eyes to Yue Mochen.
Feeling the gaze of everyone looking at him, Yue Mochen sighed softly, looked around at everyone, and then looked at Zhao Huizong, and said: "Your Majesty, all the kings in the world are already eyeing the vacant throne now, and besides, the country cannot be without a king for a day, so please also ask Your Majesty to think about this people and ascend to the throne as soon as possible, otherwise there will be another great war in the land of the Great Song Dynasty·····"
Yue Mochen's words were not finished, but the consciousness he wanted to express was already understood by Zhao Huizong.
"The general has already said everything to this point, if I am prevaricating, it will be a little hypocritical, then I will dare to fight with the princes of this world!"
Between the words, Zhao Huizong changed his previous peaceful demeanor, and at this moment, his body seemed to exude a sharp edge like a sharp sword out of its sheath.
"This is the tiger talisman of the commander of the three armies, and I hope that His Majesty can personally lead the three armies to ascend to the throne!"
As he spoke, Yue Mochen took out a very finely and exquisitely crafted tiger talisman from his arms, handed it to Zhao Huizong's hand, and glanced at him meaningfully.
"Thank you, General!"
This time, Zhao Huizong didn't have any politeness, and directly accepted the tiger talisman handed over by Yue Mochen.
Seeing that Zhao Huizong was so crisp this time, Yue Mochen also nodded with satisfaction.
The reason why Yue Mochen did this was naturally to make the generals completely surrender to Zhao Huizong, if he personally led the army to help Zhao Huizong ascend to the throne, the people who surrendered to the generals were just himself, and he would not attach himself to Zhao Huizong from the bottom of his heart.
And if Zhao Huizong personally wore the army to the throne, the situation would be diametrically opposite, these generals would not only surrender to Zhao Huizong from the heart, but also would not have the intention of rebellion, which would further stabilize his position.
"Today, I, Zhao Huizong, have received your support, and I will definitely not disappoint your high hopes!" Zhao Huizong shouted loudly holding up the tiger talisman.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
At the moment when Zhao Huizong raised the tiger talisman, all the generals knelt on their knees and shouted.
········
After a month, Zhao Huizong showed great command skills in one battle after another, so that he was able to compete with the three princes who had the best chance of ascending to the throne.
In this month, the generals also had a sense of surrender to Zhao Huizong from the bottom of their hearts, and this feeling of surrender became stronger after Zhao Huizong commanded one battle after another.
The reason why Zhao Huizong was able to have such achievements was all because of Yue Mochen's secret help, and in this month, Yue Mochen also successfully faded out of the sight of the generals, so that Zhao Huizong could better get acquainted with the generals.
······
Three months later, Zhao Huizong led his troops to defeat the troops of the three princes, successfully entered the imperial city, and ascended the throne of the emperor at the same time.
In the splendid Jinluan Palace, all the civil and military officials are absent at this moment, because today is the day when Zhao Huizong is the emperor.
"I, Zhao Huizong, can be today, thanks to the great help of the soldiers, today I am the emperor and I will also start to talk about meritorious deeds!" Zhao Huizong's voice was very loud, so that everyone could hear it very clearly.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" the civil and military officials immediately knelt on the ground and shouted.
"The first order I want to give is to open the warehouse and release grain! Rescue the victims of this war!" Zhao Huizong shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" the ministers hurriedly agreed.
"The second order I want to give is to reward General Wang Yao as the prince and give him a gold medal for avoiding death!"
"Your Majesty, this is not possible! There has been no precedent for a king with a different surname since ancient times!"
"Your Majesty, if you insist on this, I'm afraid there will be an ancestral training!"
·······
After hearing the second holy decree issued by Zhao Huizong, a famous minister even retorted that his remarks were not in favor of Wang Yao's title of king.
"Ridiculous! General Wang Yao has made countless great and small feats in this war, and if you can have this feat, I can also crown you king, I have made up my mind, you don't have to say more!"
Listening to the opposing remarks of this group of ministers, Zhao Huizong waved his hand impatiently, and then continued to reward the generals who had made great and small military exploits.
·······
At this moment, in a hidden corner of this golden hall, a figure was quietly watching the scene that was happening.
This person was Yue Mochen, and at this moment, he didn't want to see this scene himself, but to show it to another person.
I saw a figure in armor shrouded in black qi beside Yue Mochen at this moment, looking at the curtain in the main hall above his mask under his mask, and suddenly showed a smile of relief.
Immediately afterwards, the figure slowly became illusory, until it completely disappeared.
Yue Mochen also felt a darkness in front of him the moment this figure in armor disappeared, and then a very familiar feeling swept through his body.
It's the feeling of being immersed in a liquid that's thicker to the touch than water, and it's still warm, making it extremely pleasant to soak in.
Feeling this long-lost feeling, Yue Mochen felt like a world away.
"Am I finally out?"
Yue Mochen opened his eyes, looked at the extremely familiar scenery around him, and muttered to himself.
"You've finally woken up, and you've been in the illusion for almost a year. ”
At this moment, a voice that was extremely familiar to Yue Mochen reached his ears.
As soon as the voice fell, a very ugly-looking demon beast appeared in front of Yue Mochen's eyes.
"Chaos long time no see!"
Yue Mochen smiled and greeted the ugly demon beast in front of him.
"Boy, you seem to have experienced a lot of vicissitudes, it seems that everything you have experienced in the illusion has made your heart mature a lot!"
Chaos looked at Yue Mochen's deeper eyes and couldn't help but sigh.
"My cultivation seems to have improved a little slowly this time!"
Yue Mochen didn't pay attention to Chaos, but began to investigate the cultivation he had improved in the nearly a year since he entered the illusion realm.
Now Yue Mochen's physical level has been raised from the peak of the Fluorite Realm to the late stage of the Flowing Gray Mirror, and the soul realm has been raised from the peak of the Spirit Pool Realm to the middle stage of the Spirit River Realm.
"Don't be dissatisfied, boy, your current ascension speed is a hundred times faster than that of people outside. Chaos said with some disdain.
"It's not that I'm not dissatisfied, it's just that the time I've experienced in the illusion is as if I've really experienced it, and now I don't have that feeling of immediate ascension when I come out. Yue Mochen said a little confused.
Every minute and every second of time in the fantasy space is like being in the real world, making Yue Mochen now like a lonely boat in the sea, extremely confused, and even a little stunned.
"Ink Boy! Looks like you're already aware!"
Just when Yue Mochen was confused, a strange and familiar voice sounded in his mind.
"Ancestor!"
Yue Mochen's voice trembled slightly, and a trace of crystal appeared in his eyes unconsciously.
"Who are you?"
Unlike Yue Mochen, Chaos looked very cautious after hearing this voice.
Because in the chaotic feeling, the strength of the person who spoke was very terrifying, and even made it tremble a little in the bottom of his heart, this feeling was not something he had never seen before, and what he saw that time was one of the few high existences in the Zhongxing Continent, the emperor of the Yanxia Empire.
"Innate Spirit, Ink Dust Boy, it seems that in the days I have been asleep, your chances are not small, and you have already signed a life and death contract with the Innate Spirit!" After feeling the existence of Chaos, Old Ancestor was obviously a little shocked.
Because he had never been recognized by the innate spirit, he had only had a few faces.
"Ancestor, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Yue Mochen didn't pay attention to Chaos' shock, but was very puzzled by the inexplicable words that the ancestor said.
"Ink Dust Boy, I've woken up, and I have to stop doing such a terrible thing. ”
Between the words, the ancestor's tone became very serious, and an old man in white appeared in front of Yue Mochen, this person was the Yue Kang ancestor who affected Yue Mochen's fate.
"Ink Dust Boy, listen up now, although absorbing the energy here can make your cultivation improve rapidly, but at the same time, your vitality will be consumed by the illusions you have to go through one by one, and then you will completely become a ruthless and desireless wood. ”
"How could this be, Chaos, why didn't you tell me!"
Hearing the ancestor's words, Yue Mochen couldn't help but cast his angry gaze on the chaos that was a little evasive at the moment.
"Kid, I told you that you have to pay a corresponding price to gain strength quickly, didn't you already agree to it at the beginning!
Looking at Yue Mochen's angry gaze, Chaos suddenly became angry, and his tone became very tough.
"But you didn't say the details at the time, so I made this choice!"
Listening to Chaos' tough tone, Yue Mochen knew that he was also at fault, and his tone weakened a little.
"Okay, you're all quiet!"
Listening to the quarrel between Yue Mochen and Chaos, Lao Zhu waved his hand impatiently.
Then he saw two invisible forces enter the bodies of the two, and for a moment Yue Mochen and Chaos were speechless.
"Ink Dust Boy, in fact, it's not like there is no way to save now, but it depends on whether you want to or not?"
"Uh-huh!"
Unable to speak, he hummed a few times and nodded in agreement.
