History's Strongest Son-In-Law Living With The In-Laws

Chapter 569

569 The death of the Lian Prince! Shen Lang’s Northern Expedition!

The Lian Prince was truly in a state of absolute shock.

“Are there any errors in the statistics?” Prince Lian said.

we also thought it was unbelievable, so we counted it again. There are no mistakes. The official replied, ” and it’s impossible to be wrong. Black represents Ying Guang, and gold represents Shen lang. Both parties are not checking in the thousands, but in the millions.

“How many people are there in total?” Prince Lian asked.

“15 million.” The official from the Empire of Great Yan said.

There were about 60 million people in the newly established Kingdom, and about a quarter of them had voted. This was very normal. Even though this work had lasted for eight months and the related teams had more than 10000 to 20000 people, the deepest level they had reached was the city level. They had not entered The Villages at all. If the peasants wanted to participate in the voting, they had to rush to the city, which was impossible for the vast majority of the peasants.

15 million people, 9.15 million people support Jiang corporation’s Shen lang, 6.85 million people support Ying Guang. The official from the Empire of Great Yan said.

The Lian Prince read it over and over again and sighed. I really didn’t expect this to happen. I thought that all the people in the newly established Kingdom would support Ying Guang. It seems like the human heart can really be incited.

The official said, ” but there are very few people who came to listen to Shen Lang’s speech. They’re all afraid of being punished by Ying guangqiu. That’s why they don’t dare to come. There were only over 1000 people in the last 100 speeches. The last one only had over 10000 people, and all of them came with their faces covered. We did a count and the number of people who actually heard Shen Lang’s speech was less than 350000.”

Prince Lian said, ” that’s right. Only 350000 people came to listen to Shen Lang’s speech. However, these people spread the news after they went back. Furthermore, every single article of his was also spread. Therefore, the number of people who could truly feel Shen Lang’s emotions exceeded 20 million. There might even be more. This was because it lasted for more than half a year.

“It seems like the Jiang family’s Foundation in the Qian country is really deep. I’ve won the big picture, but I’ve screwed up,” the official of the great Yan Empire said.

“No, Lord Xu, we screwed up,” the Lian Prince said sorrowfully.

“Your Royal Highness, what does this Lao Ai mean?” the official asked.

“You may not understand now, but you will soon,” Prince Lian replied.

“Your Highness, no matter what it means, you can’t possibly be making me the scapegoat, can you?” the Imperial official asked with a trembling voice.

Prince Lian glanced at this official. He was the right Assistant Minister of the great Yan Empire’s Ministry of Rites. He was definitely a high-ranking official in the Imperial court. In other kingdoms, he could directly enter the cabinet and become the Prime Minister.

“You’re taking the blame? It’s a little too light.” “That’s good, that’s good. I’ve been worn out for the past few years. Perhaps I can finally be free.” The Lian Prince sighed.

After the right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites heard this, he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart. What did the Lian Prince mean?

The Lian Prince was really tired. It was not a problem for him to run around for the interests of the Empire. It was not even a problem for him to take the blame and do the dirty work. However, the key was that he could not understand the emperor’s heart, nor could he understand the crown prince’s heart. He really did not know what these two Supreme martial artists wanted to do.

“Let’s go and announce the results.” Prince Lian said, ” order the Warriors of Yan capital and mang Tian Pavilion to completely lock down this room. Don’t let anyone out. Especially Ying Guang’s men.

“Yes!” The official from the Empire of Great Yan said.

“Do it directly and knock out all the people that Ying Guang left behind to supervise,” Prince Lian said.

“IS-IS there a need to do this?” the Imperial official asked with a trembling voice.

“I’m not even afraid, so what are you afraid of?” Prince Lian asked.

“Yes!” The official from the Empire of Great Yan said.

“Unparalleled Kasaya,” Prince Lian said.

Suddenly, Ji Wushuang, the princess of the netherworld Pavilion, who had been hiding in the diplomatic mission, appeared.

“Do it.” “Make sure that no information is leaked,” Prince Lian said.

“Yes!” Ji Wushuang said, and then his figure disappeared instantly.

There was no sound of fighting from inside, and it was completely settled in a short moment.

The vote count had to be made public, but the Empire of Great Yan had never experienced such a thing before. Therefore, it was carried out in accordance with the system of the imperial examination.

The marking of the papers after the examination was completely closed, so the vote count was also completely closed.

No one knew the results of the imperial examination before the results were released, and this was the same for the vote.

In fact, the entire process was carried out in the Saint temple of Qianjing, which represented the supervision of the ancient Saint.

..................

Fifteen minutes later, the door of the Holy Temple opened.

Ying Guang was considered a usurper, so he had to appear more Orthodox. Thus, he had built the Holy Temple on the edge of the palace and would go to pay his respects whenever he had something to do.

Ning yuanxian was different. He hated the Holy Temple, so he built it far away and only visited it once a year.

This result wasn’t the focus of everyone’s attention, because the civil and military officials of the great Ying Empire (newly established Kingdom) also felt that there wouldn’t be any surprises in this unanimous vote. Ying Guang’s victory was without a doubt, because this had already been made very obvious.

However, as soon as the Lian Prince walked out of the Holy Temple, he was surrounded by a group of people.

Leading them were the great Ying nation’s Minister, Prime Minister Zhao Lin, envoy Lan Shi, and the third Prince, Ying Wuchang.

“Lian Prince Consort, is the vote over?” Prime Minister Zhao Lin asked.

“He’s out,” Prince Lian said.

“The Empire of Yan must keep their word,” Zhao Lin said.

According to the results of the previous discussion, the great Yan Empire would have to acknowledge this unanimous vote. Once the people of the Qian country supported Ying Guang, the 1.5 million square kilometers of land would rightfully belong to the Ying family. All the countries in the world would have to acknowledge the existence of the great Ying Kingdom, and the land of the newly established Kingdom would have nothing to do with Shen lang.

“Let’s go to the main hall and announce the results,” Prince Lian said.”Is Prince Ying Guang here?” Has Emperor Shen lang come?”

“There’s still an hour before the court conference,” Zhao Lin said.”It’s the same if you announce it now.”

“Zhao Lin, you’re only the Prime Minister of the new nation. Do you really want to hear this result before Prince Ying Guang?” Prince Lian asked.

Prime Minister Zhao Lin’s face trembled. Ying Wuchang waved his hand and said, ” “Protect the Lian Prince.”

Immediately, thousands of Warriors swarmed in, surrounding the Lian Prince and the others as they walked towards the main hall of the DA Qian Imperial Palace.

..................

The morning assembly of the great Ying Empire began when the sun rose.

This was another special court conference as not only Ying Guang’s officials would be participating, but there would also be Shen Lang’s, great Qian Empire’s, Great Yan Empire’s, and other countries ‘diplomatic corps.

Ying Guang was wearing the Dragon robe of the great Ying Empire and sitting on a high throne. Below him was Jing who was wearing the Royal robe and sitting on another golden throne. On the left was Prince Lian of the great Yan Empire.

“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!”

The sound of the troops stomping on the ground and the sound of their armor clashing against each other rang out continuously. Ying Guang’s Army came in like a tide, surrounding the entire Hall so tightly that not even water could escape.

“Lian Prince Consort, we’ve been busy for almost 200 days. Announce it,” Ying Guang said.

“Before I announce the result, I would like to make a solemn declaration that the result of this vote is true and valid. It will completely determine the ownership of the 1.5 million square kilometers of Qian country. All the countries under the heavens and the representatives of the six transcendent powers bear witness.”

Everyone was silent as they waited.

The Lian Prince opened the box and took out a piece of red paper. He slowly opened it and said,”The vote of the entire new Qian Kingdom has ended. The great Qian of the Jiang family has won. A total of 15 million people have voted, 9.15 million people support Jiang lang, and 6.85 million people support Ying Guang. In other words, from this moment on, the 1.5 million square kilometers of the new Qian Kingdom belongs to His Majesty Shen lang. Prince Ying Guang must leave the great Qian Imperial Palace and Qianjing immediately.”

As soon as he said this, all the ministers present were completely shocked.

How did this happen? How was this possible?

How could Shen lang win? Everyone had clearly expressed their support for Emperor Ying Guang. The people of Qian Jing even expelled Shen lang and treated him as a jinx.

When Ying Guang heard this news, his body trembled, and he even felt a sharp pain in his brain.

Of course, he was prepared for this bad news in advance, because none of the Warriors he sent to the Holy Temple to supervise came to report to him. Something had obviously happened.

However, after confirming this result, he still suffered a huge blow.

W-what did this mean? Were the people of Qian country putting on an act with him? Everyone clearly stood out to support him, so why did they support Shen lang when they were voting in secret?

Was it really useful for Shen lang to lower himself and act like a clown? Could it really change the hearts of the people?

The entire place was dead silent.

Almost none of Ying Guang’s ministers dared to believe this result, while the diplomatic corps of the various countries were completely speechless.

Prince Lian said, ” from the beginning to the end of this unanimous vote, the diplomatic corps from the various countries and the six transcendent powers have representatives supervising it. They ensure that it’s absolutely fair. There are no favoritism or fraud. It has absolute authority. Emperor Ying Guang, according to the decree, you should leave the great Qian Palace and Qian capital. The 1.5 million square kilometers of Xinqian Kingdom belongs to Emperor Shen lang. ”

Mirror stood up and said,”Prince Ying Guang, that throne of yours belongs to me. Your great Ying Empire can be established on stupa mountain.” Please withdraw from my territory with your courtiers and Army. My Army and officials will take over the entire New Kingdom.”

“Prince Ying Guang, please state your position,” Prince Lian said slowly.

“Hahahaha!” Ying Guang suddenly laughed out loud. Then, he stared at Prince Lian like a hawk and said, ” “Lian Prince Consort, you’ve got it wrong! There are 9.15 million people who support me, and 6.85 million people who support Shen lang. You’re old and blind.”

The moment these words were spoken, the Ying clan’s officials were all stunned. After that, they all shouted out, ” “Yes, yes, Prince Lian’s eyes are blurry from old age.”

it’s Emperor Ying Guang who won. Shen lang lost.

Shen lang is like a clown. How can he win? ”

“The attitude of all the people of Qianjing is clear. They are completely on the side of Emperor Ying Guang.”

Ying Guang walked down from the throne and came behind the Lian Prince. He placed his hand on the Prince’s neck and said slowly,”Lian Prince Consort, are you mistaken?”

At the same time, tens of thousands of Warriors outside drew their swords, causing the diplomatic corps from the great Yan Empire and the other countries to shiver in fear.

Immediately after, thousands of snow Eagle Warriors descended from the sky and surrounded the hall.

Following that, stupa mountain’s sect master Ren walked in slowly and said with a smile, ” “Am I late? Lian Prince Consort, has the unanimous vote come to an end?”

“He’s out,” Prince Lian said.

“What’s the result?” sect master Ren laughed.

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Princess Ji Wushuang of the heaven-destroying Pavilion.

Ying Guang said,”Prince Lian, all the envoys of the Empire of Great Yan, the right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, the result of the vote is out. I won, right?” 60% of the people supported me while 40% supported Shen lang. Although the process of this vote is very difficult, the result is still authoritative. This is a great attempt, right?”

It was at this moment that the Lian Prince felt a sharp pain in his neck. It was as if something had burrowed into his neck.

“Lian Qinwang, you can announce the results.” Ying Guang said.

The Lian Prince’s body trembled as he said, ” I, Xuanji, officially announce that there are 15 million people participating in this vote. 9.15 million people support his Majesty Ying Guang, and 6.85 million people support his Majesty Shen lang. His Majesty Ying Guang is the winner. The 1.5 million square kilometers of the new Qian Kingdom belongs to His Majesty Ying Guang.

As soon as these words came out, the entire place fell into a dead silence.

Many old ministers sneered in their hearts. Many young ministers, regardless of whether they were members of the diplomatic corps or young ministers under Ying Guang’s command, felt cold all over.

They also felt that this unanimous vote was ridiculous and too childish, but there was an inexplicable sense of sacredness and solemnity when they participated in it.

Because many people had witnessed it, every process was fair, just, and serious.

However, this result was so absurd that it was easily overturned.

More than twenty to thirty thousand people, the fruits of more than half a year’s hard work, and the feelings of more than fifteen million people were so easily trampled on and turned into water.

Throughout the entire process, the mirror that played Shen lang was silent.

Chou Yao ‘er was silent. Su Nan was also silent.

Ying Guang said, ” Lian Prince Consort, please go outside and announce the results in front of the people of Qian capital. Oh right, Emperor Shen lang, let’s go together. The three of us will go together.

Then, Ying Guang held the mirror in his left hand and the Lian Prince in his right hand and walked out of the palace.

The door of the main hall opened, and there were tens of thousands of Warriors outside. As long as Ying Guang gave the order, they would be able to kill all the people in the diplomatic corps of the various countries.

As Ying Guang walked out, over 10000 Warriors directly opened up a path and paid their respects to Ying Guang.

Ying Guang was wearing a Black Dragon robe embroidered with gold. He looked mighty and domineering. He walked with a Dragon and a Tiger, making the Lian Prince and the mirror beside him look like little chicks.

“Does the Lian Prince feel cold on his back? Don’t worry, don’t worry, this type of Gu worm is extremely special, but there’s still an antidote.” “I’m not even worried that the mirror on the side will hear me,” Ying Guang said in a low voice.

The Lian Prince’s body trembled slightly, but he did not speak.

“Do you think that I, Ying Guang, am too arrogant? how dare I lay my hands on you, a Prince of the great Yan Empire? how dare I lay my hands on the diplomatic corps of the various countries?” Hmph! Ying Guang sneered. perhaps you want to return to the Yan capital and complain to His Highness the Crown Prince about me, giving the great Ying Empire a destructive blow? It’s impossible. This is what the two Supreme martial artists of your Yan capital want to see the most.”

Ying Guang brought the two of them out of the palace and came to the city gate tower.

There were still more than 200000 people standing in the square below. They were densely packed and looked up at the City Tower.

“Prince Lian, you’re the Imperial envoy of the great Yan Empire. You can make the official announcement,” Ying Guang said.

Over 200,000 eyes were fixed on the Lian Prince. He felt even more ridiculous. More than half of the people in the entire Xin Qian Kingdom supported Shen lang. However, it was useless as they could not come to Qianjing and could not stand in front of the palace.

The Lian Prince closed his eyes in pain. To be honest, he was afraid of death, but to him, there was something more important than death, and that was his dignity. After all, he was from the imperial family and had been in charge of the great Yan Empire’s Foreign Affairs for almost ten years.

The scene in front of him was a great humiliation.

“Everything is for the Empire’s benefit.” Prince Lian slowly said in his heart.

“Lian Prince Consort, make the announcement,” Ying Guang said.

Prince Lian of the Empire of Great Yan received the nightmare stone Soundwave amplifier in a daze and said in a clear voice,”I hereby announce that the vote of all citizens of the new Qian Kingdom has officially ended. His Majesty Ying Guang is the victor. The 1.5 million square kilometers of the new Qian Kingdom belongs to the Ying clan. From now on, this piece of land has nothing to do with the Jiang clan.”

As soon as he said this, the scene fell silent for a few seconds. Then someone knelt down and kowtowed.”Long live Emperor Ying Guang, long live His Majesty.”

“Long live the great Ying Empire! Long live! Long live the great Ying Empire!”

At first, there were only a few thousand people, but later on, there were tens of thousands of people shouting.

These 200,000 people only knelt down without any cheers. They just quietly accepted the result they wanted.

........................

“What an ugly scene.” The Deputy of the Bureau of Military Affairs of the great Qian Empire, su Nan, said slowly,”But I’m not surprised at all.”

The mirror said, ” I’m not surprised either. Emperor Ying Guang, regardless of whether the result is ugly or not, it’s still the result. I’m leaving now.

“Leave?” “Where are you going? where are you going?” Ying Guang sneered.

“Your Majesty Ying Guang, what do you mean?” su Nan said coldly. Do you still want to imprison His Majesty?”

Following that, su Nan looked towards Prince Lian and said,”The Empire of Yan and the six Supreme powers have promised to protect His Majesty.”

Ying Guang said, ” I didn’t say that I wanted to kill His Majesty Shen lang. I didn’t even say that I wanted to torture him. I only wanted him to stay. Emperor Shen lang, don’t you like my Palace? Then stay here forever and don’t leave.”

“If I can’t be the monarch of great Qian, being a prisoner isn’t that bad either,” Ying Wuchang laughed.

Imperial envoy, ” Ying Guang said to Prince Lian, ” you’ve been away from the Yan capital for so long. It’s time to go back and report.

The Lian Prince was silent for a long time before he said to Ying Guang, Prince Ying Guang, I would like to speak with Emperor Shen lang alone.

Ying Guang and everyone else left, leaving only the Lian Prince and mirror in the room.

Prince Lian looked at the mirror quietly and didn’t move. In the past half a year, Ying Guang hadn’t seen the mirror many times, but Prince Lian had been with him almost all the time.

He didn’t see any flaws, nor did he see that this was a substitute. He just felt that it was strange.

Emperor Shen lang, as a chess piece, I have no choice. “I used to think that I was a chess player, but in the end, I’m still a pathetic chess piece. Of course, I think I’m a chess player, but I’m not the only one who is a chess piece in the end. I hope you’re not that person.”

The mirror only smiled and didn’t say anything.

“Goodbye, take care!” Prince Lian said.

The next day, Prince Lian of the great Yan Empire left Qian capital with his diplomatic mission and returned to the Yan capital, completely abandoning Shen Lang’s diplomatic mission.

Ying Guang officially announced to the world that he had won a complete victory. From now on, the 1.5 million square kilometers of the New Kingdom would officially belong to the Ying clan. There would be no more new kingdoms, only the great Ying Empire.

Then, Ying Guang officially imprisoned Shen lang (mirror) and the hundreds of people from the envoy Group of raging tide city.

After that, the entire New Kingdom officially changed its flag. All the counties and provinces changed to the black Royal flag of the British Empire.

All the governors, mayors, and city Lords changed into official robes and titles, becoming officials of the great Ying Empire.

From Qianjing to the province, and even to the villages below, all the official seals were changed.

The edict was posted to every village, announcing the result of the unanimous vote.

In order to celebrate this great victory, Ying Guang ordered the barn to be opened and the world to be pardoned. He also attended the Enke examination and celebrated.

All the officials of the provinces, counties, and cities had to organize a celebration and send clothes to the elderly and desserts to the children so that all the people in the world could enjoy Emperor Ying Guang’s kindness.

..................

In the Yan capital Palace.

Prince Lian kowtowed and said, ” Your Highness, Ying Guang’s actions have distorted the truth. He has referred to a deer as a horse. I suggest that the Empire of Great Yan should impose sanctions on it. If necessary, we should launch a strategic strike.

The Crown Prince did not reply.

Prince Lian said,”Your Highness, how much of a taint does Ying Guang’s actions have on the dignity of the great Yan Empire?” If we don’t punish them, how will the world view our Yan capital?”

“Prince Lian, you’re too engrossed in the act,” the Crown Prince of the Empire of Great Yan said slowly.

“Your Highness, are we just going to let this matter go?” the Lian Prince asked with a trembling voice.

“Why did you take it so seriously when the others were just putting on an act, Prince Lian?” the Crown Prince asked.

“The scene of Ying Guang referring a deer as a horse was clearly seen by all the envoys of the various countries. How much of a blow was this to the dignity of the great Yan Empire?” How would the world view the great Yan Empire?”

“Prince Lian, you must be tired. Go back and have a good rest,” the Crown Prince said.

Your Highness! Prince Lian shouted.

The Crown Prince picked up a Memorial and read it, not saying anything else.

The Lian Prince kowtowed and retreated while trembling.

“Issue an imperial decree to reprimand Qian capital’s Ying Guang. Tell him to send someone to Yan capital to ask for forgiveness,” the Crown Prince said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

..................

A few days later, Ying Guang sent a large group of envoys to the Yan capital to ask for forgiveness.

The Empire of Great Yan issued three edicts in a row, each one more severe than the last.

Ying Guang once again apologized and requested to be downgraded from the great Ying Empire to the great Ying Kingdom. He also expressed his absolute support for the rule of the great Yan Empire, and the Emperor would be the only leader of the eastern world.

The Yan capital remained silent. They didn’t immediately declare their acknowledgment of the great Ying Kingdom’s existence. However, they tacitly agreed that the 1.5 million square kilometers of land belonging to the new nation would belong to the Ying clan.

After that, the Prime Minister of the great Qian Empire and the king of the Great South, Sha Zhao, the King of Wu, the King of Chu, and the king of Yue jointly issued an edict, reprimanding Ying Guang for turning black into white in the vote of the entire Qian country. They also expressed that they would never admit this result and that the 1.5 million square kilometers of Xinqian Kingdom would still belong to the great Qian Empire.

Following that, the diplomatic corps from the various countries also gradually revealed the news, exposing Ying Guang’s crime of pointing out a deer as a horse.

After all, there was no such thing as an impervious wall in the world. The result of that vote had been personally heard by at least a few hundred envoys from the various countries. They had seen with their own eyes Ying Guang’s act of pointing out a deer as a horse.

The disturbance spread further and further until it finally swept through the entire Eastern world.

Then, everyone’s eyes were focused on Prince Lian of the great Yan Empire. After all, he was the one who was ultimately responsible for this matter. He was also the one who announced the result of the unanimous vote and presided over the entire process.

At this point, if Prince Lian exposed Ying Guang’s lie, the dignity of the Empire of Great Yan would suffer a huge blow.

However, if he publicly announced that Ying Guang had not pointed out a deer as a horse, he would be once again endorsing Ying Guang’s crime.

Prince Lian entered the palace several times and kowtowed to the Crown Prince of the Empire of Great Yan to punish Ying Guang.

However, the Crown Prince of the Empire of Great Yan did not respond.

Countless gazes and voices were forcing the Lian Prince to tell the truth.

Finally, the Crown Prince of the great Yan Empire delivered a note to Prince Lian. On it were a few words: The real Shen lang was in raging tide city, and his battle with Ying Guang was about to begin.

Instantly, Prince Lian felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He deeply felt the words of the great Yan Empire’s Crown Prince,”everyone else is acting, but you’re the only one who’s too immersed in it.”

This, are they toying with me like a monkey?

Ying Guang played me like a monkey, and you, Shen lang, also played me like a monkey. Your Highness, you also played me like a monkey?

Everything I’ve done is for the benefit of the Empire of Great Yan. Why must you force me like this?

The next day!

His family found Prince Lian’s body in the study.

This Prince, who had dominated the great Yan Empire’s diplomatic field, bid farewell to the world in this manner.

..................

The war of words about the vote by the people of Qian country became more and more intense.

In raging tide city, the Wu, Chu, and Yue kingdoms were condemning Ying Guang every day, exposing his crimes to the world. They requested Ying Guang to hand over 1.5 million square kilometers of land of the new Qian Kingdom and to release Emperor Shen lang and the members of the diplomatic mission.

The world was in an uproar!

Ying Guang was so awesome that he had actually detained the great gan’s Sovereign Lord and the diplomatic mission?

If the great Qian Empire’s Sovereign Lord was captured, then what was the point of the great Qian Empire playing?

It was a great humiliation.

The Yan capital remained silent, as if they had no intention of coming out to seek justice.

In the end, the cabinet of the great Qian Empire and the Bureau of Military Affairs in raging tide city sent the most severe letter of credence to Ying Guang, requesting him to unconditionally release His Majesty, Shen lang, Marshal Qiu Yao ‘er, the Deputy of the Bureau of Military Affairs, su Nan, and all the members of the diplomatic mission within ten days. If he did not agree, the great Qian Empire would officially declare war on Ying Guang.

Ying Guang burned the letter of credence in front of all the officials, his attitude extremely arrogant and contemptuous.

The Minister of State and the Bureau of Military Affairs couldn’t take it anymore. King Wu, King Chu, and King Yue entered the Furious tide city and discussed for a whole day and night.

The great Qian Empire had officially declared war on the so-called great Ying Kingdom.

The entire world was in an uproar. Your Sovereign Lord, Shen lang, has been captured and is a group of Dragons without a leader. You want to rely on your subjects to declare war?

What hope do you have in this battle?

11th month, 19th day, 50000 troops of raging tide city landed in Yue country.

The 50,000 great gan soldiers officially went north and won.
