"My ancestor did intend to do this, but as soon as the operation began, the Yunyi Empire once again used the same strange way to cause our country to lose another 100,000 people, and immediately proposed a truce. He also offered to pay us seven cities and to sign a three-hundred-year armistice of non-aggression. For such a result, both countries are unwilling to accept it, after all, how can the Yunyi Empire, which is considered a bag in the bag, give up like this. However, he was afraid of the mysterious and strange power of the Yunyi Empire, and after weighing the pros and cons, he could only agree to a truce. The Chiyan Empire was grateful to us and ceded the city coefficient of the Yunyi Empire to our country, and since then, our Huaye Empire has risen to the first empire of the moon mark, and the Chiyan Empire has also formed a permanent alliance with our country, and has been friendly and married for generations. ”

"But now that the three-hundred-year covenant between the Yunyi Empire and the Iceberg Empire has passed, the Yunyi Empire has a coup d'état not long ago, the second prince usurped the throne, and the White Tiger Wu family is named Auxiliary Assistant, but in fact controls the Yunyi Empire with military power, and now the Yunyi Empire has recruited and trained millions of soldiers, and its purpose is clear at a glance. Moreover, the peace treaties signed with Yunyi and Iceberg were all three hundred years old, and now that I think about it, this is definitely not a coincidence. ”

"The situation on the mainland is turbulent, and the Yunyi Empire must have been prepared for a long time, although the actions of the Yunyi Empire are not worrying on the surface, but the understanding of the Yunyi Empire since ancient times, once the war starts, the Yunyi Empire will inevitably be like a thunderbolt. Therefore, we must be fully prepared, even if the war is not provoked by us, we must not lose the first opportunity. ”

"This is also the reason why I let Zizheng take the position of the old duke, once this war starts, it will inevitably affect the entire moon scar. This level of war is not enough for the Duke of Qinglong alone, so I decided to break through the traditional rules and set up a duke to share the heavy responsibility of the Duke of Qinglong, and the best candidate for this second duke is undoubtedly Zizheng, with the talent that Zizheng is showing now, his future achievements will not be inferior to his father Zhang Lingyun. Saying that, Shangguan Enze took Zhang Yi's hand and pulled Zhang Yi in front of him to face everyone.

Zhang Yi was a little confused when he heard it. "To be a duke! Just like my father? This is not true, is it! Isn't it necessary to join the army to obtain the title of earl before you can be promoted to duke? What is the situation?"

"Your Majesty's foresight is really admired by the old ministers, but Zhang Gongzi is still young, even if he is amazingly talented, it is not enough to confer the title of duke, if His Majesty wants to stimulate Zhang Gongzi's sense of responsibility, he can be named a baron or a viscount, but His Majesty wants to confer the title of Duke Zhang Gongzi The old ministers agree, I am afraid that the ministers will also have objections, and please think twice. Kong Chenyou praised Shangguan's Enze resolution, but at the same time, he raised everyone's opinion to deny him, which can be seen from the old treacherous slip.

Shangguan Enze smiled meaningfully. "What the Confucius family said is right, the talent and the Qinglong lineage are not enough for Zizheng to become a duke without any merits, but I think the Confucian family has also heard the prophecy that has been circulating in the Moon Scar Continent for thousands of years. ”

"The minister has indeed heard of it. Kong Chenyou replied.

"Then please tell the Confucian family to tell Zhong Aiqing, I think there are still people who don't know very well. Shangguan Enze commanded.

"Yes!"

Kong Chenyou cleared his throat and said loudly: "The thousand-year-old moon mark is four points in the world. The blood moon reflects the traces, and the life is out of the dust. Fighting spirit, there is no distinction between gods and demons. The troubled times are rising, and the stars are stained with blood. The magic sword is the guide, and the demons are assisted. Devouring the Demon and Slaying God, ruling Kunlun. After a long time, the world will be reconciled. ”

After Kong Chenyou finished the prophecy word for word, he bowed to Shangguan Enze and said no more.

Shangguan Enze continued: "The prophecy that the Confucian family just said came from the mouth of the ancestor of Dou Qi, Dou Tian Qiong, and the names of Dou Xiu and Dou Qi were all derived from the surname of Dou Tian Qiong. The prophecy of this legendary figure, who is rumored to have turned into a god, has now partially come true. ”

"In the year 2561, the war subsided, and there were four empires standing on the Moonmark Continent, Huaye, Yunyi, Chiyan, and Iceberg. This fulfills the prophecy that the world is divided into four parts. And the blood moon in the blood moon reflected in the prophecy 15 years ago also appeared, which also indicates that the prophesied child of destiny has also appeared on the mainland. In the later prophecy, the continent will come again, and the world will be in harmony, and in the end, who can become the first emperor of the unified continent, the son of destiny is the key. Empires have also sought children born in the Blood Moon, and our country has sought many of them, some of whom are indeed gifted and intelligent, but I have not felt the feeling of a child of destiny in any of them. But since the moment I saw Zizheng with my own eyes, I knew that even if Zizheng was not a child of destiny, he was the most likely child of destiny among the countless children I had seen. ”

"So I decided to let Zizheng share the heavy responsibility of Duke Qinglong, even if I can't now, I believe that in five years, Zizheng will definitely have the strength to be competent for the position of duke when the four kingdoms and four clans rank war. Of course, I also considered the words of the Confucian family, so on top of today's night banquet, I arranged a game, in addition to the palace guards I selected to participate, all young talents under the age of 20 present can participate, the only purpose is to defeat Zizheng, if Zizheng fails, I will retract my previous decision, if Zizheng wins, I will canonize Zizheng as a duke on the spot, enjoy the treatment of a duke, and stay until the Four Kingdoms War to take charge of the military power. One thing to add, in order to ensure a certain fairness, only the best five people are selected to fight. What do you think?"

Although Shangguan Enze was asking everyone, his eyes were only looking at Kong Chenyou.

Kong Chenyou knew that Shangguan Enze was no longer soliciting opinions, and if he dared to raise objections, he was afraid that his head would have to change places to settle down, so Kong Chenyou took the lead in getting up, "Your Majesty Shengming!"

Then the hundred officials also said in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Okay, then, let's take a look at the strength of the new generation of the Empire. Said that he wanted Shangguan Enze to look at Zhang Yi with an eye that was both expectant and encouraging.

Zhang Yi has now recovered from the shock, and Zhang Yi knows that this match must be won no matter what. Losing is to make the emperor lose face and humiliate the Zhang family, and I don't know how the consequences of losing are, but I don't want to know.

Zhang Yi clenched his fists slightly, took a deep breath, and then achieved the middle of the banquet hall in Shangguan Enze's concerned eyes. The body stood straight, and the calm and relaxed attitude made everyone who was not optimistic about Zhang Yi also have some expectations for this game.

Shangguan Enze looked at Zhang Yi in the field with a smile, from the beginning of proposing to let Zhang Yi be the duke, Kong Chenyou raised an objection, until now everything that happened was expected by Shangguan Enze, and now the only uncertain and important factor is whether Zhang Yi's strength can meet the requirements, so that Shangguan Enze's arrangement can be completely successful.
