"Is this true?"
In the southern Hengtian Mountains of the Heavenly Demon Desolate Domain, Hu Lifu, looking at the kneeling soldiers below, his enormous eyes darted back and forth.
"Third Elder, I truly heard this from Xue Yuan of the Blood Python clan. Xue Yuan and I are friends. The day before yesterday, I traveled to the Blood Python clan to catch up with him. Unexpectedly, Xue Yuan's face was pale, his eyes were vacant, and he was already out of his senses!"
"I patrolled the Blood Python clan's ancestral hall and found that the life tablets of Blood Ming and many other Tongtian realm experts had all shattered. The entire Blood Python clan was filled with grief!"
"Bang!"
Hu Lifu stood up abruptly, his tall and imposing figure making the hall tremble.
"Good!"
"Hahaha!"
"Very, very good!"
"I never thought the Blood Python clan would have such a day, ah!"
"Hmph, hmph, hmph!"
"Hahaha!"
"In the past, the Flame Python and Scorpion Great Snake clans bullied my Primordial Python lineage too much. Now, the Blood Python, which the two clans worked hard to support, has also been completely defeated in human territory. Good, good, very good!"
"Third Elder!"
The soldier slightly raised his head: "I discovered that this matter was not good and immediately sent people to seal off the Blood Python clan..."
"Mm!"
"Hahaha!"
"You did well, you did very well!"
"Seal it off. This matter will not reach the Scorpion Great Snake clan for a while. This is a good opportunity!"
"Hahaha!"
"Heaven does not fail my Primordial Python lineage!"
"Such an opportunity cannot be missed!"
"Go, send Lian Jin to human territory, and destroy that so-called dynasty. Hahaha, with such merit, my Primordial Python lineage will surely suppress the Flame Python and Scorpion Great Snake clans!"
"Yes!"
As Hu Lifu watched the retreating figure of the soldier, his expression gradually became ferocious. "The Desolate Lord has been stuck at Seven Revolutions for a long time. If I can sweep across the human territory of the Southwest Domain and turn that dynasty upside down, I don't believe I won't find that Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body!"
“Your Majesty,” the minister and his colleagues have discussed for several days, and the Prime Minister and the ministers’ intention is to set the date for our dynasty’s promotion to Imperial Dynasty as the first day of the first month of the third year of the Great Han!”
In the Xuanzheng Hall of Chang'an City, Great Han, Yang Hao looked at the memorial in his hand. It was densely written with the reasons for setting the Imperial Dynasty on the first day of the first month of the third year of the Great Han, as well as a series of detailed step-by-step plans.
Yang Hao looked at the memorial. The Great Han had been established for almost three years. Since the Great Han started from the old territory of the Wu Kingdom, it swept through all the kingdoms and unified Tianyue Island, ascending to the rank of a Dynasty!
Now, after experiencing the war for the Imperial Dynasty and the invasion of the Ancient Desolation, and enduring hardships and storms, it has finally reached the time of the Imperial Dynasty.
The Great Han has unified the human territory of the Southwest Domain, and its foundation is already established!
“Since this is the case, then let the auspicious day for the promotion to Imperial Dynasty be set for the first day of the first month of the third year of the Great Han!”
Yang Hao took a brush and made a note on the memorial, then closed it!
“Your subject congratulates Your Majesty, congratulates the Great Han!”
Bao Zheng, with a joyous expression, quickly knelt down and congratulated Yang Hao.
“Bao Zheng!”
“Your subject is here!”
“Draft the royal decree!”
Yang Hao stood up. Bao Zheng quickly walked to the desk on the right, picked up a brush, and looked at Yang Hao.
“Since the Great Han entered the Southwest Domain, there has been endless conflict in human territory. Externally, ancient desolate beasts have ravaged the roots of humanity. Internally, the Ten Elders usurped power and suppressed many Imperial Dynasties, causing the human territory to lose its vitality.”
“Since the seal was broken, the four ancient desolate beasts have plundered our human territory. First, Tianyue turned into Jiuyou, and then Dayan was refined into scorched earth!”
“Therefore, the Great Han has schemed for the hundreds of millions of humans in the Southwest Domain. Our army marched out of the country, annihilating the Lieyan Rhinoceros and Blood Python clans in Cangmu in one battle. The Great Han’s military might was sharp, sweeping through all the invading ancient desolate armies. In the end, the ancient desolates retreated, and the world was at peace!”
“The Great Han possesses a territory of hundreds of millions of miles, and with the loyal support of hundreds of millions of subjects, the Southwest Domain is now unified. I, according to the wishes of my subjects, have chosen the first day of the first month of the third year of the Great Han to be promoted to Imperial Dynasty!”
“Bao Zheng!”
“You polish this according to my wishes and announce it to the world immediately!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
“You may withdraw!”
Yang Hao said lightly.
“Your subject bids farewell!”
“Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li Si requests an audience outside the hall!”
At this moment, Wei Zhongxian walked into the hall and bowed slightly to Yang Hao.
“Let him in!”
Yang Hao walked back to the throne and looked outside the hall.
“Announce Prime Minister Li Si’s audience!”
Outside the hall, Li Si looked at the joyful Bao Zheng and knew that the matter of promoting to Imperial Dynasty had been put on the agenda.
The first day of the first month of the third year of the Great Han!
Calculating it, it was only a few days away!
“Announce Prime Minister Li Si’s audience!”
Wei Zhongxian looked at Li Si, who was waiting for the summons below the steps outside the hall, and shouted loudly.
Li Si heard this, tidied his official robes, his expression became solemn, and he walked towards the Xuanzheng Hall.
“Your subject, Li Si, pays his respects to Your Majesty!”
“May Your Majesty live for ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand thousand years!”
Li Si walked into the hall and saluted solemnly.
“Get up!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty, Empress Weiyang, Fan Lingyue, has already arrived in Chang'an. I have temporarily arranged for her to stay at the Prime Minister’s residence.”
“Mm!”
Yang Hao looked at Li Si. The Weiyang lineage had entered the Great Han’s territory. In terms of influence, this was also Empress Weiyang following the general trend.
“Is she willing to serve in the Great Han?”
Although the Great Han had unified the human territory of the Southwest Domain, Empress Weiyang of Weiyang held a very important position in the hearts of the people of the Southwest Domain. For the Great Han to win the hearts of the people, Empress Weiyang of Weiyang must be properly settled.
“Your Majesty, Empress Weiyang has great popular support, especially in Weiyang Prefecture. As long as she calls out, the hundreds of millions of people in Weiyang Prefecture will surely follow her to the death!”
“The Weiyang lineage has been deeply rooted for tens of thousands of years, and the people’s support is firm and unshakable. I suggest that if you want to win the hearts of the hundreds of millions of common people in the Southwest Domain, you can take Empress Weiyang of Weiyang as your consort!”
“Hmm?”
Yang Hao was also taken aback and subconsciously let out a sound of doubt. But in Li Si’s eyes, this seemed like an expression of rage.
He immediately knelt down in a panic: “Your Majesty, your subject is guilty!”
“Your subject is guilty!”
Yang Hao came back to his senses, looked at the constantly kneeling Li Si, and then gave a bitter smile: “Prime Minister, I have no intention of blaming you. Get up!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Li Si quickly got up, cold sweat already dripping from his forehead.
“Prime Minister, the Great Han wishes to win the hearts of the people of the Southwest Domain. Taking Fan Lingyue as consort is indeed a good suggestion!”
“However?”
“What do you think of Empress Weiyang, Fan Lingyue?”
Yang Hao smiled and looked at Li Si. Some things could not be said by him. The Great Han army had marched out of the various Imperial Dynasties mainly to repel the ancient desolate beasts, and it was only to unify the Southwest Domain!
Empress Weiyang had great popular support. If this matter were to be pushed forward, it must be done in accordance with the general trend!
“Your Majesty!”
Li Si’s expression was solemn, and his tone was quite steady: “Fan Lingyue inherited the will of the successive Human Emperors of Weiyang and shouldered the banner of humanity. Even though the national strength of a country declined again and again, she still resisted the Ancient Desolation!”
