Chapter 216 Chapter Two Enthronement

The five countries around Datang began to pay attention to Datang after Datang completely unified Wuchao Galaxy, and when Datang annexed Yinying and Wanluo, they even regarded Datang as their main enemy. Knowing the power of Datang, they immediately abandoned their past enmity and married each other to form a stable alliance. Although the five countries formed a group, and it can be said that they surrounded Datang, they did not dare to take the initiative to attack, because no one knew whether the alliance of five countries could defeat Datang. If not, it would give Datang an excuse to attack him, so he just deployed heavy troops on the border to monitor Datang.

However, after the news of Tang Long's imminent ascension to the throne came out from the Tang Dynasty, the frontier guards of the five countries were a little lax, because usually such a big event would not easily go to war.After all, the emperor asked for auspiciousness when he ascended the throne, so how could he see blood at this time! As the day of Tang Long's enthronement drew closer, the armies of the five countries became more and more relaxed, and they began to prepare to send missions to observe the ceremony.Even if he regards Datang as his mortal enemy, he still has to show the courtesy of being a neighbor before tearing up his face.

However, just one week before the enthronement ceremony of Tang Long, and when the five-nation viewing group was preparing to leave, news broke out that the Wen Chinese invaded the surrounding countries suddenly. This news can scare the Five Kingdoms enough. You must know that China is one of the top 100 countries in the universe, and it is the most powerful country in this star field. If your Five Nations Alliance is against him, it is like a mouse against a cat. points. Originally, these five countries wanted to surrender to Wen China on the condition of becoming a vassal state, but before this idea could be implemented, news came that Wen China annexed the vassal state and designated the territory of the vassal state as its own.

Hearing this news, the leaders of the five countries immediately gave up their plans to surrender. Now that they have reached the point of death, what else should they consider? But even if there was no hope of victory, the Five Kingdoms were unwilling to be captured without a fight, so they transferred most of the troops suppressed in Datang back to the other side of the border; In addition to congratulatory gifts, these viewing groups also brought the credentials of the alliance. In the face of powerful enemies, for this alliance, the five countries have spent all their money. The heads of each country are willing to marry their little princesses to Tang Long as their concubines, and they are even more willing to regard Tang Long as the leader of the alliance. The Tang army can be stationed in Within the Five Kingdoms, it can be said that the Five Kingdoms have secretly allowed themselves to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity that these envoys have just arrived in Datang, and the Datang army has already rushed into the border of the five countries. If the envoys arrive in Datang ahead of time, Tang Long, who knows that the five countries are willing to become a subsidiary state of Datang, will definitely not send troops, because Tang Long There are many ways to turn a subject country into your own, why bother if you can get it easily? It was because the envoys were a step behind, and the defense targets of the five countries had shifted, and more importantly, no one thought that Datang would actually start a war when preparing for the enthronement ceremony of its own monarch.

Because of all these reasons, the Five Kingdoms didn't have time to react much, and the Datang army was already approaching the city. Bewildered by the Ministry of Intelligence, they were delayed for a long time. In the end, it was too late to retreat. The leaders of the five countries who were surrounded by the Tang army group and surrounded the capital star obediently raised their hands and surrendered under the guarantee of their family's personal and property safety from the Tang Dynasty. In other words, before Tang Long ascended the throne, Datang annexed five more countries, more than doubling its territory, and becoming a medium-sized country.

Originally, the doubling of the territory of a country like Datang in an instant was enough to attract the attention of all forces in the universe, but at this moment, no one cared about Datang, a remote country.It will be like this, one is that there is a top 100 civilization in the universe in front of it, which is aggressively attacking nearby countries, and the other is that this universe has started a real struggle for hegemony among major powers. We must know that although the universe was full of wars in the past, these wars affected only small and medium-sized countries, and the big countries did not burn the fire to themselves except to stabilize their own territory.

This time is different. The top 100 countries in the universe, including Wulai Kingdom, which is the first in the universe, and the Dark Night Empire, which is the second in the universe, have started a war of aggression with the goal of devouring the territory of all surrounding countries. It wasn't until this time that the All-Cosmic War really broke out. Therefore, except for the countries near Datang, who would stand up and condemn Datang's immoral behavior of fighting without declaration, no one was interested in paying attention to the situation of Datang. And the envoys from various countries who were going to Datang to participate in the enthronement ceremony immediately turned around and returned home on their own initiative after hearing the news that Datang launched a war to annex the five countries regardless of morality and reason.

Of course, not all of them are like that. For example, the missions of various countries in the country controlled by the five major gangsters continued to move towards Datang. You must know that when they went abroad, the head of the country said: "Unless the missions are completely dead, they must personally express their country to Tang Long. Congratulations." Such a strict order. With this order, the envoys don't care about Tang Long's morality or immorality! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Datang, who had already found an excuse and was ready to explain to other countries, was surprised to find that except for the surrounding countries, no other countries came to condemn Datang's actions, and could not help reporting this problem to Tang Long immediately.

After receiving the report, Tang Long immediately ordered the two major intelligence agencies to inquire about the news. The little black cat saw that Tang Long was nervous about the news regardless of the imminent enthronement ceremony, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Brother, you will be enthroned in a few days, why do you care about the reason? Didn't others come to condemn you?" Us, do you feel uncomfortable?" "Oh, how could I be so self-abuse?" Tang Long smiled wryly and shook his head and said, "I'm just wondering about the reactions of the countries in the universe. Think about it, if it were us, we would see a country annexing its surrounding countries for no reason. What will be the reaction?

"Even if you can't send troops to stop this behavior that obviously disturbs the stability and order of the universe, you will still condemn it? How can there be no response?" "It's not that there is no response! Didn't the countries close to us condemn us? And they have deployed all their troops on the border, ready to attack us at any time!" "Hehe, it would be strange if those countries that stayed near us didn't react violently! You must know that it is very dangerous to be our aggressive neighbor." Tang Long laughed. The little black cat muttered in dissatisfaction: "Aggression? Did you say that about yourself?" But Tang Long glared at him, and the little black cat immediately pretended to be treacherous and said, "Hey, big brother, when will we get rid of you?" They?" Tang Long knocked the little black cat on the head and said with a smile, "It won't be long." The day of Tang Long's ascension to the throne finally arrived. On this day, the capital of Tang Dynasty became a world where laser images were scattered all over the sky and flowers spread all over the planet. Members of the Royal Guard of Honor specially selected from the entire Datang local army, wearing straight new military uniforms with a white background and gold borders, carrying laser spears, lined up proudly and solemnly on a main road on Capital Star. No matter what the name of this main road was before, it will be called the Royal Road in the future, a royal road that only members of the royal family can use. The starting point of this royal road is the villa where Tang Long used to live, which is now known as the "Qiandi", and the end point is the Tang Palace, which has just completed the acceptance inspection and occupies a vast and magnificent area. The people living near this royal road had crowded around the royal road with flowers early on, quietly waiting for their monarch to appear, but they could only enter this royal road on major festivals. The people in other places can only see the appearance of the monarch and the grand occasion of the ceremony through the three-dimensional TV. Of course, among these crowds and on the entire capital planet, there are indispensable spies and agents hiding in the dark and watching all around vigilantly. As for the indispensable supporting roles in the ceremony—civil and military officials, they had gathered in the square of the palace for a long time to wait.Ordinary people are not allowed to appear in the square, and those who can stand in the square, the lowest is the third-class earl for civil servants, the lowest for military officers is a major, and other personnel can only stay in the office or the barracks to watch. Of course, the square where all the middle and upper-level officials of the Tang Dynasty gathered was heavily guarded, otherwise, if they were kicked by a bunch of people, then the Tang Dynasty would be over immediately. The Royal Mecha Legion, which is fully armed and wraps itself like a heavy-duty robot, surrounds the entire palace tightly. With them, even a mosquito cannot enter the boundary of the palace. And the Royal Fleet suspended in the atmosphere surrounded the capital star cluster, even a meteor the size of a fist could not escape their surveillance. Within a few light-years centered on the capital star, there are countless mobile armed satellites and patrol warships. Any suspicious targets will be subject to the strictest inspection. You must know that the Datang military absolutely does not allow any accidents to disturb the enthronement of its supreme commander. ceremony. During a golden hour by any measure, the music blared. Tang Long, wearing a red cloak and a decent black imperial costume, was surrounded by a group of royal guards wearing black military uniforms, and brought some big Tang soldiers such as Little Black Cat, Xing Ling, Tang Xing, Yuna, etc. The highest level, and a group of subordinates who followed him first, boarded the car specially prepared for the emperor, and under the guidance of the imperial guards, they drove slowly towards the palace. According to the usual practice, he was the only one in Tang Long's car, but Tang Long refused to stay in the car alone!After a group of veterans tried to dissuade him, Tang Long's three closest friends, Little Black Cat, Tang Xing, and Xing Ling, were added to Tang Long's car. As for the others, those veterans from the family system and the imperial system would never let them go up there. Like the god-sister who wanted to get close to Tang Long, she could only stay in other cars and sulk. "Brother, why are you so unhappy? Today is a happy day!" Seeing Tang Long's sullen face, the little black cat couldn't help asking. "Hey, I received the news from the Ministry of Intelligence, and I couldn't be happier. You guys should take a look too!" Tang Long took out a magnetic card, and the little black cat grabbed it and pressed it, and a virtual screen appeared on the screen. In front of everyone, only after reading the first few paragraphs, Tang Xing and Xingling's smiley Mimi faces became solemn. According to the data, the big countries ranked in the hundreds of universes have begun to frantically annex the countries around them. Among them, the most annexed ones are the Wulai Kingdom, the largest country in the universe, and the Dark Night Empire, the second largest country. They almost annexed all the countries they could touch. The speed of annexation is faster than that of the Great Tang's annexation of the five countries. Although it is starting to slow down the speed of foreign annexation, it is obviously in the digesting period. When they finish digesting, the speed of annexation will definitely be faster. Behind them are the Moon Curtain Empire, the Blue Ice Empire, and the Wind Ribbon Empire, which have become the third, fourth, and fifth largest nations. The speed of annexation of these three empires is not inferior to the previous two countries, and they also annexed neighboring countries very quickly. Although from the point of view of intelligence, these five countries are in the north and south, and there is no connection at all, but judging from the direction of their expansion, if the five countries are moving in the same direction, according to the speed of their annexation, it will not take long. The borders will come into contact, and I'm afraid there will be a fight between dragons and tigers. Seeing this, the little black cat couldn't help laughing: "Brother, what is there to worry about? These five countries are all controlled by Tang Jin and the others. Didn't they just follow your order and wait until the borders are connected before announcing Union?" Tang Long shook his head: "I'm not worried about them. Take a look at the following information. Is there any sign of fighting in the countries near Weishen Kingdom?" The little black cat was stunned for a moment, quickly glanced at the information, and said a little puzzled: "Yes, the whole universe is clanging, and the country where the Shenwei country is located, including the countries around him, is actually calm. Even if there is, it is the most neighboring country prevent other countries from invading. "Huh? These countries will not become the borders of Weishen Kingdom, right? Let me see which countries nearby have waged wars to prevent foreign enemies from invading." After pondering for a while, the little black cat immediately virtualized a map of galaxies and said: "According to the analysis of the collected information, the countries from here to here have resisted the invasion of neighboring countries, and Weishen Kingdom is in the center. If there is no Unexpectedly, these places are all under the control of Weiguo." Seeing the map of the galaxy, Tang Long, Xing Ling, and Tang Xing were all taken aback, and Tang Xing even exclaimed: "My God! If these countries are all controlled by the Wayshen Empire, then the territory of the Wayshen Empire will be destroyed." It has surpassed the Wulai Kingdom after annexing so many countries, and it can be said to be the real largest country in the universe!" "Huh, this Mighty Kingdom is very mysterious! It has become so strong without anyone knowing about it." Tang Long sighed. "By the way, isn't your classmate going to Weishen Kingdom? Will she be in danger?" Xing Ling suddenly changed the subject and asked. "There shouldn't be any danger! After all, she's just doing academic research, but will her robot identity cause her any trouble?" Tang Long said worriedly. Tang Xing glanced at Tang Long and said, "Don't worry, when she left, I sent someone to replace her with a biochemical body, and now she is just like a human being." "Oh, that's great..." As soon as Tang Long smiled, Xing Ling came forward and asked, "Are you happy now?" Tang Long subconsciously nodded: "Yes! I..." Seeing that Xing Ling and Tang Xing were both sullen, he couldn't help shaking his head: "No, I..." Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Tang Xing: "What? Are you unhappy with us?" Hearing this, Tang Long of course immediately defended: "No, I..." Seeing Tang Long muttering and not knowing what to say, the little black cat couldn't help but shook his head, curled his lips and said, "You flirt!" After saying that, he curled up in a place to rest. After a long and tedious enthronement ceremony, Tang Long finally put on the emperor's symbolic crown.It's just that the crown was thrown aside after Tang Long received the cheers from his subjects and entered the palace. Tang Long, who rarely wears a military cap, is unwilling to wear a metal ring on his head!It's no wonder if you don't throw it away. The military and political ministers of the Tang Dynasty quietly followed His Majesty the Emperor, entered the palace, and arrived at the Hall of Deliberations, which represented the highest ruling body of the Tang Dynasty. Arranging the two sides according to civil and military, facing Tang Long sitting on the throne, the military and government ministers were very excited, because the next thing is to confer officials and knights. However, although they were excited, they also realized that not everyone would be promoted, because Datang's meritorious service system was too strict, and without corresponding meritorious service, they would not be able to improve their status at all. Tang Long inspected the merit system, and found that his subordinates could not be promoted at all.Tang Long, who didn't want to go against the merit system to promote his subordinates indiscriminately, and didn't want to be left alone the first time he sat on the throne, suddenly thought of a good way. He issued the first order after becoming the emperor: "Appoint Tang Xing as the Chief of Foreign Affairs to take charge of all external affairs; appoint Xing Ling as the Chief of Internal Affairs to take charge of some internal affairs." All the ministers were immediately taken aback, because the two chiefs were extremely powerful, and the combined power of the two chiefs was completely equal to that of Tang Long!However, although the officials were surprised, they did not object, because Tang Xing and Xing Ling were the closest people to His Majesty the Emperor, and it was impossible for them to betray His Majesty the Emperor. When Tang Xing and Xingling heard that Tang Long had entrusted them with such an important position, they all stared at Tang Long with watery eyes after being stunned for a moment. They don't have the status they deserve. Now that Tang Long is doing this, it can be said that they are given a status below one person and above ten thousand people. But they didn't care much about this position. What they cared about was that Tang Long had given him a definite position in the Datang Group. "Our current priority is to determine the currency of Datang itself." Tang Long said, all the ministers nodded their heads. They used to use Wulai coins. Although Wulai coins are the most circulated, they still need their own currency. "My lord, in accordance with your wishes, our Ministry of Finance and the Universal Bank have made a plan after discussions and calculations. There are two options for the exchange of the new Datang currency: one is to exchange one yuan of Datang currency for one hundred yuan of Wulai The other is the opposite of the first one, that is, one hundred yuan of Tang coins is exchanged for one yuan of Wulai coins. "However, the Universe Bank suggested that we choose the first option, because our country has a large stock of Wulai coins, plus our country is rich in materials, economically developed, and..." Yuna hesitated for a moment before continuing: "And our country is small and exquisite. So Datang coins can have a high value." Tang Long frowned, and the ministers below all frowned. What is the universe bank doing, that there is such an unbelievable ratio of 1:100 and 100:1? This is not a question of the value of Datang coins. If Datang coins are issued according to these two ratios, it will be unlucky for Datang without thinking about it. If it's one to one hundred, people don't want to suffer this loss to trade with Datang!Datang's coins are useless. And if it is one hundred to one, it means that Datang's materials and labor can be easily plundered by others, and idiots will issue according to this ratio. "Universal Bank thinks we are easy to bully, doesn't it?" Tang Long asked with a frown. "Yes, the Universe Bank looks down on our Datang very much." Yuna said honestly. "Damn, didn't you say that the customer is God? How dare this cosmic bank be so shameless? Humph! Don't worry about his cosmic bank, we will implement according to our own rules, Datang currency is equal to Wulai currency!" Tang Long snorted coldly . "Yes, my lord." Yuna hurriedly transmitted the order, the mint had printed the coins a long time ago, and they were just waiting for circulation! "Then let's start to confirm the goal now. Everyone knows that our goal is to unify the entire universe, and the current goal is the powerful country in this star field—Wen China. We must kill it as soon as possible and unify this star field." Domain!" Tang Long stood up and said boldly. "My lord, please give me instructions!" All the ministers said in unison. In places that Tang Long didn't know, the ministers called Tang Long differently according to their status and close relationship with Tang Long. , it calls Tang Long the eldest brother, both of which are unique. Then there are the super important ministers of the Tang Empire. They call Tang Long the Lord. These are the high-level figures of the Tang Dynasty and Tang Long's retainers when he started. Then came the ones who called Tang Long the chief, they were the few former soldiers of the Wanluo Federation who followed Tang Long the first time; as for the last ones, they were the ordinary officials and people of the Tang Dynasty who called Tang Long His Majesty. When Tang Long and his subordinates were conducting military and political affairs, the Emperor Anye, who had the identity of Tang Mu, summoned his prime minister in the distant palace of the Anye Empire. "Prime Minister Zhong, how is the plan going?" Emperor An Ye asked while tasting the wine with a relaxed expression. Prime Minister Zhong bowed and got up and stood with his head bowed, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the plan is going smoothly, and those swordsmen who persuaded the four major allies have done a good job." "Well, do you think our four major allies will find something weird?" the Dark Night Emperor asked. Prime Minister Zhong hurriedly said: "No, I didn't directly win over those swordsmen, but let the swordsmen's cronies and family members preach the role of power to the swordsmen, so the swordsmen's persuasion to their allies is all these swordsmen. of their own will. "If they don't know that we exist, anyone who sees the performance of these swordsmen will think that they want their superiors to go further, and they will go further and will not doubt others." "Among these swordsmen, will there be careerists who take the position of the boss instead?" "There will definitely be, but our four major allies are not easy to get along with. Those careerists will be exposed soon. After all, there is a big difference between careerists who pursue the highest position and courtiers who pursue power." Prime Minister Zhong defended himself a bit carefully, because there have been many rumors about him being unwilling to be a minister in the imperial capital recently, and he believed that Emperor Anye could understand his excuse. The Emperor An Ye, who was holding a wine glass, glanced at Prime Minister Zhong, and said in a flat tone: "Well, as long as you are loyal to me and work diligently, you will be indispensable to prosperity and wealth." When Prime Minister Zhong heard this, he immediately kowtowed and thanked him with tears of gratitude. He was finally at ease after receiving the assurance from the Emperor An Ye. You must know that these days, especially when he was called into the palace, he was terrified! "Where are the swordsmen in our country? Why didn't I see it?" The Emperor Dark Night said: "If allies have swordsmen to persuade them to come in, but we don't have them here, maybe the allies will be suspicious!" "Yes, this is Wei Chen's negligence, and Wei Chen will handle this matter well." Prime Minister Zhong appeared to be sincere and fearful, but felt bitter in his heart. Come on, those four allies are not emperors, but only serve as president, prime minister, prime minister, and general. Of course, they need to be persuaded to become emperors. But you are the emperor yourself, how can you persuade me to come in?Do I advise you to go one step further and become a god emperor?That's not a curse!It's okay, if something happens, I don't have enough heads to cut off! Perhaps the Emperor of the Dark Night was also aware of this, so he immediately changed the subject without warning: "How long will it take for the border between us and our allies to be connected?" After thinking for a while, Prime Minister Zhong said: "According to our current speed, and there are no accidents, I believe that in two months, the borders of our five major countries will be connected together, and the alliance can be announced to the outside world at that time." "Hey, the covenant, we have gained a lot of benefits by relying on this covenant!" the Emperor Dark Night laughed. "Yes, if we rely solely on our Dark Night Empire, I'm afraid we won't be able to annex so many territories so easily." Prime Minister Zhong catered carefully, if Emperor Dark Night hadn't spoken first, he wouldn't have said it. Who knows if this emperor will become angry because his country cannot annex neighboring countries alone! "Well, immediately after the announcement of the covenant, the division plan will be implemented. As long as one of our five countries has evil intentions, the other four will enter a wait-and-see state. If there are a few more unsuccessful assassinations, mutual suspicion will be a foregone conclusion. It's time for us to fish in troubled waters." The Emperor Dark Night smiled. Prime Minister Zhong hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's just that there is Tang Long above them, as long as Tang Long steps forward, the four of them will definitely abandon their previous suspicions." The Emperor Anye smiled triumphantly: "Hehe, how can Tang Long be so proud? At that time, there will be some signs that Tang Long launched an assassination attempt on them, and at the same time, there will be some signs that they sent someone to assassinate Tang Long, so that both of them will be on guard against each other. It's okay if you don't come once? "I don't believe that they have been instilled with a sense of self-reliance for so long. After being abandoned by their master, they will still go around the master. They are definitely looking after themselves!" "Yes, Your Majesty is wise." Although Prime Minister Zhong didn't take it seriously, he wouldn't say anything frustrating because of the emperor's enthusiasm. He could only pay attention to the details when he was preparing to carry out the task in his heart, so as not to cause problems on some minor issues. The Emperor Anye suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, what's happening in Weishen Kingdom?" "There is no movement, and the star field where Weishen Kingdom is located is calm." Prime Minister Zhong said. "Calm? Impossible, Weishen Kingdom is not an ordinary country. According to their habits, the nearby countries may have been annexed by Weishen Kingdom long ago. "You need to strengthen monitoring, I think this mighty kingdom is a strong enemy of our country! You must not relax!" the Emperor Dark Night said seriously. Hearing that Emperor Anye even called "I", Prime Minister Zhong hurriedly expressed that he would strengthen his efforts. After the two monarchs and ministers discussed some important issues, Prime Minister Zhong left the palace. When Prime Minister Zhong left the palace, seeing the jealous eyes of those ministers, he couldn't help sneering in his heart: "Hmph, I just went to perform the task for a little longer, so you think I'm out of favor? I'm still the emperor's family! Want to fight for my father's favor?" Seat? Leave it to dry!"
