At this time, Lian Ji and Princess Hua Shao walked out. Lian Ji approached Lin Fan and quietly said, "Lin Fan, a group of dragons cannot be without a leader, a country cannot be without a monarch. You should announce to the world that you should ascend the throne and become the Emperor!"
"No, I can't be the Emperor. Firstly, I don't have the right to be the Emperor. Secondly, I'm too lazy to worry about state affairs."
Lin Fan's words caused Lian Ji to be startled, "If you don't sit, who will?"
"Let Long Yin sit. He is a prince, so he is justified." Lin Fan said.
"Long Yin, that useless and cowardly trash, how can he be the Emperor?
Not to mention that the previous Emperor is no longer here, even if he was, he would definitely not pass the position to him.
"No, absolutely not." Lian Ji shook her head.
"Don't give him real power and treat him as a decoration." Lin Fan smiled.
"You want him to be a puppet Emperor?"
"That's right."
"Then who will preside over state affairs?"
"You, the mother of the world, can listen to the government from behind the curtain."
"What about you?"
"As I said, I don't have time to worry about state affairs. I will continue to be the Grand Marshal of the army and maintain the safety of the country's territory."
"You are pushing the heavy responsibility to me!" Lian Ji glared at Lin Fan.
"If you don't want to, you can let Hua Shao come. If you really can't, then let Hua Shao become the Emperor and become the Empress!" Lin Fan said as he thought of Wu Meiniang on Earth.
Princess Hua Shao rolled her eyes at Lin Fan, "Nonsense, how can a woman be the Emperor?!
This is not in line with the rules of the Empire. "
Lin Fan laughed, "Rules are not set by people. Besides, the rules can be changed."
Lian Ji said, "Hua Shao is still too young to worry about state affairs. If you really don't want to worry about it, then let me do it."
Seeing that Lian Ji agreed, Lin Fan smiled and said, "That's right."
At this moment.
Lian Ji then used her status as the Empress Dowager.
After sealing Long Yin as the Emperor, he ascended the throne after the funeral of the previous Emperor.
At first, Long Yin thought that Lin Fan was just coaxing him, but he didn't expect that he could really become the emperor.
He was so happy that he almost went crazy, but he didn't expect it.
What he wanted to do was to be a puppet emperor.
On this day.
It was the day of Long Yin's ascension.
In the Yellow Dragon Palace.
Long Yin sat on the Dragon Throne with a face full of pride.
On one side of the dragon throne, behind the beaded curtain, sat Lotus Ji and Princess Hua Shao.
The civil and military officials filed into the main hall, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Long Yin.
He was the last one to enter.
It was Lin Fan. Lin Fan was wearing a military officer's uniform and walked in with large strides.
As soon as Lin Fan walked in, the officials on both sides of the hall involuntarily knelt down. This way, the scene was a little awkward.
Long Yin said with a strange expression, "Dear ministers, Lin Fan is only your colleague. You don't have to kneel to him.
In the future, you only need to kneel before me. "
Hearing this, none of the officials dared to stand up. They all cast a disdainful glance at Long Yin.
He muttered in his heart, "Trash, you really think that you're the Emperor?
You're only a puppet emperor, to put it bluntly.
You're just a dog beside Lin Fan, but you don't see the big picture. If this goes on, you'll definitely be finished … "
Lin Fan raised his hand, "Get up. His Majesty is right. In the future, when you see me, there's no need to kneel …"
Only then did the officials get up, but they ignored Long Yin.
Their gazes timidly looked towards Lin Fan.
Lin Fan walked with majestic steps to the head of the military officials.
Turning around to face the officials, he also ignored Long Yin.
"In the future, whether I'm here or not, you must attend the morning court every day. The morning court is related to the lifeline of the country, the people's livelihood. You can't be careless for a single day …"
"Yes!" The officials all cupped their hands in acknowledgement.
Lin Fan continued, "Although Long Yin has ascended the throne, he's too young. His character is indecisive and timid, and he's afraid of messing up the court. In the future, Empress Dowager Lian will hold court. If you have any problems, just submit them …"
Hearing this, Long Yin's face was full of shame and anger. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He wanted to immediately get up and leave, but he didn't dare.
It was really torturous.
Now, he completely understood that he was just a puppet emperor.
The officials cupped their hands in acknowledgement again.
Lin Fan continued, "Today, I have something to announce. From today onwards, I'll announce to the world that the barrier between orthodox cultivators and rogue cultivators will be broken. I'll eliminate the contradictions between the two, and I'll separate them as one. Both sides can no longer kill each other. Otherwise, it'll be a violation of the law. Otherwise, you'll be sentenced to death …"
Lin Fan hadn't finished speaking when the officials began to discuss spiritedly. There was a lot of controversy.
Qiu Ji wanted to express his opinion, but he didn't dare.
He looked like he wanted to say something but stopped.
Lin Fan said, "Qiu Ji, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it. I won't blame you."
Hearing this, Qiu Ji's panic disappeared. He cupped his hands and said, "Grand Marshal, completing the great unification is a good thing for the people and to consolidate the political power. But this requires the agreement of both sides. If everyone is in a rush, I'm afraid this will be difficult …"
"How can it be a one-sided affair? I've already talked to the itinerant cultivators. There shouldn't be any problems. Even if they change their minds, I'll lead the troops to fight them until they agree …" Lin Fan said heroically.
"Grand Marshal is mighty!" The officials cupped their hands in praise.
"Well, this matter is settled." Lin Fan said, "From now on, Empress Dowager Lian will be in charge of the court."
Lin Fan said and walked out of the Yellow Dragon Hall.
When the officials saw that Lin Fan had become a hands-off boss, they couldn't help but smile bitterly. However, no one dared to stop him. Those who had memorials could only submit them to Empress Dowager Lian.
Lin Fan walked out of the Yellow Dragon Hall and flew straight up. He flew to the eaves of the Yellow Dragon Hall and stood beside the Yellow Dragon statue.
When the Yellow Dragon sensed someone approaching, it turned from a sculpture to a living creature and roared angrily at Lin Fan.
In the past, Lin Fan would have been afraid of this divine beast. But now, Lin Fan had the ability to fight against this divine beast. He was not afraid and released the Valiance Divine Way in his body.
The "Valiance" character floated out of his body and floated above the Yellow Dragon. Golden light shone down and enveloped the Yellow Dragon.
The Yellow Dragon roared angrily. It was half afraid and half in awe of the Valiance Divine Way and didn't attack Lin Fan.
Lin Fan asked, "Yellow Dragon, why didn't you save Huang Ce when he was going through his tribulation?"
The Yellow Dragon opened its mouth and actually spoke in human language. It sounded like a ten-thousand-year-old old man speaking. "Cultivation is going against the heavens. Tribulation is unavoidable. Tribulation is the law of heaven and earth. If you can survive it, it's your fortune. If you can't, it's your fate. I can't do anything about it …"
"When I was going through my tribulation, why could others help me?"
"Hmph, it's your fortune to have someone risk their life to save you. However, the person who saved you definitely isn't doing well. She'll be punished by the heavens." The Yellow Dragon snorted.
"What nonsense are you talking about?
My friend is doing well … "Before Lin Fan could finish his sentence, the Yellow Dragon interrupted him." Don't lie to yourself. Helping someone through their tribulation is going against the will of the heavens. You'll definitely be punished by the heavens. Otherwise, as the guardian of the Yellow Dragon Empire, why wouldn't I save Huang Ce … "
Lin Fan's heart sank when he heard that. He thought of the Heavenly Enchantress. Although he had no news of her, he knew that she wasn't doing well when he thought of what the Yellow Dragon said.
After a moment of silence, Lin Fan said again, "Since you're the guardian of the Yellow Dragon Empire, why didn't you do anything when the nine princes were fighting for the throne in the Yellow Dragon Palace and humiliating the Empress …"
"Internal strife has nothing to do with me. I only protect the palace from invaders," the Yellow Dragon said impatiently.
Lin Fan saw that he couldn't get anything out of the Yellow Dragon, so he laughed coldly. "Alright, you can continue sleeping then."
"Conquering the country without any effort, holding the Emperor in his hand and ordering his vassals around. Lin Fan, you're powerful, you're smart. Also, your cultivation is too heaven-defying. This isn't a good thing. It'll attract the attention of the Upper Realm …" After the Yellow Dragon finished speaking, he raised his dragon claws like a human and stretched lazily. He then lay down on the eaves of the palace and became a relief sculpture.
Lin Fan recalled the Yellow Dragon's words and was stunned for a moment. Then, he put away the Bravery Divine Way and leaped down from the Yellow Dragon Palace.
Huang Ce passed away, killed by the Heavenly Tribulation.
The Dragon Seal succeeded the throne, perfectly justified.
Although Lin Fan controlled the Yellow Dragon Empire, he was still the Grand Marshal in name, so outsiders had nothing to say.
Although the Dukes and Kings knew that Lin Fan controlled the world by holding the Emperor in his hand, they had no reason to criticize him. Moreover, they didn't dare to.
They could only secretly sigh at Lin Fan's ruthlessness!
After Lin Fan took control of the Yellow Dragon Empire, he immediately announced it to the world and implemented specific regulations. He broke the barrier and feud between the orthodox cultivators and the rogue cultivators, separating the two into one. The rogue cultivators originally wanted to submit to him. Seeing that Lin Fan controlled the real power of the empire, they naturally didn't have anything to say and submitted to him.
Thus, the orthodox cultivators and the rogue cultivators completed the great unification.
Lin Fan had turned the impossible into a possibility.
This was another great achievement!
The people praised him!
The Puppet Emperor was just a puppet, and the Dragon Seal was completely a decoration. Now, all the affairs of the imperial court were handled by Lian Ji.
Lian Ji was extremely intelligent and had followed Huang Ce for many years. She was influenced by him and knew the affairs of the country in detail. In the past, when Huang Ce had problems, she would help him come up with solutions.
Under Lian Ji's rule, all the affairs of the country were handled in an orderly manner, and the country was prosperous and the people were at peace.
While Lian Ji was in charge, she didn't forget to take care of her daughter and let Princess Hua Shao participate in the imperial court.
She could see that Lin Fan wasn't a person to manage the affairs of the country. In the future, there would definitely be someone to worry about him, so it was necessary to nurture Hua Shao.
If Princess Hua Shao could rule like her one day, then her position in Lin Fan's heart would be strengthened.
In this world.
Any man with power wouldn't have three wives and four concubines, especially kings and emperors.
When Huang Ce was alive, he had three palaces and six courtyards with 72 concubines!
Although Lin Fan wasn't an Emperor on the surface, he was actually the ruler of a country.
Would there be a lack of women in the future?
However, although there were many Emperors, there was only one confidante.
Lian Ji hoped that Hua Shao could become Lin Fan's confidante. She hoped that the two of them would be intimate for life and grow old together.
Just as Lian Ji was making long-term plans for Princess Hua Shao, Lin Fan was thinking about how to deal with this peerless and enchanting mother-in-law of his.
Lin Fan reminisced about their unintentional intimate contact for a long time. How could this woman have such great charm that the princes risked their lives to peek at her bathing?
How could she make Lin Fan fall head over heels for her?
Princess Hua Shao looked very similar to Lian Ji. In fact, she was a copy of Lian Ji when she was young. However, the woman's appearance, temperament, and personality were completely different. Even mother and daughter were different.
Princess Hua Shao was still too young. Lin Fan thought that in a few years, after she gave birth to a child, she might have some of Lian Ji's charm.
…
On this day, Lin Fan came to the rogue cultivator's territory and conferred Assassin King as the lord of the rogue cultivator's territory.
The rogue cultivator's territory was very large, far larger than the territory of an ordinary lord.
Assassin King became the largest lord in the Yellow Dragon Empire.
In his happiness, he immediately offered 100,000 elite soldiers to Lin Fan to show his loyalty.
The so-called elite soldiers were naturally fifth stage true element realm and above.
Lin Fan accepted with a smile.
Then, Lin Fan used the reason of showing his loyalty to ask for 10,000 elite soldiers from more than 120 lords.
Since it was a show of loyalty, if they didn't give it, it would be disloyal to the empire.
It was dissatisfaction with Lin Fan's rule. That was treason and heresy.
It was a heinous crime, so none of the lords dared to disobey.
10,000 elite soldiers for a lord wasn't much.
This wasn't much. They all responded one after another, offering ten thousand elite soldiers each.
In this way, Lin Fan had a total of 1.3 million elite soldiers. These 1.3 million elite soldiers were given to Cheng Jin to set up, forming 120 ten thousand position ring spirit formations and 100 thousand position ring spirit formations.
Now, Lin Fan had 160 ten thousand position five spirit formations and 110 thousand position ring spirit formations under his command.
One hundred and sixty Ten Thousand Position Ring Spirit Arrays could produce one hundred and sixty Immortal Emperors. One hundred and ten Thousand Position Ring Spirit Arrays could produce one hundred and ten Immortal Kings.
The lineup and power were unprecedentedly strong.
Lin Fan met with the Jin father and daughter again. They were both happy because Lin Fan had experimented with unification. Now, there was no longer a barrier between him and Jin Qiaoqiao …
When they met, Jin Futu said happily, "Haha … Now, there are finally no orthodox cultivators or rogue cultivators. Everyone is a cultivator. Qiaoqiao, you're not young anymore. You can't always follow your father. It's time to get married."
Jin Futu gave his daughter a look. Jin Qiaoqiao blushed, "Father … I'm only 21. I'm still young …"
"Ha, you want to get married when you're 31?
Nobody wants such an old lady … "Jin Futu said with a smile.
"Father, I'm not getting married. If I get married, who will take care of you?
… "
"Ha, I can take care of myself." Jin Futu said, "You can get married to Lin Fan.
I hope to see you two get married. "
A few years ago, Lin Fan and the Jin father and daughter met in the Mystic Yin Mountain Range as enemies. A few years later, Jin Futu personally said that he wanted to marry his daughter to Lin Fan. It was like a dream.
Towards this marriage, Lin Fan naturally agreed to it.
Jin Qiaoqiao was his first love in this world. He naturally hoped that this relationship would blossom and bear fruit. Jin Qiaoqiao looked bashful on the surface, but she was happy and sweet in her heart.
And so, a wedding was held in Wind Cloud City.
On this day, the weather was clear and the wind was gentle.
This day was also Lin Fan and Jin Qiaoqiao's big day.
Beggar Doctor Jin Futu's daughter was getting married. Wind Cloud City was in an uproar. The original wandering cultivators' territories were decorated with lanterns and colored banners.
Of course, some people were happy while others were sad.
Jin Qiaoqiao was cute and beautiful. In the past, she was the number one beauty in the wandering cultivators' world. Who knew how many young masters and second generations of ambitious and ruthless people were infatuated with her.
Now that she was getting married, the men who had fantasized about her were all sad.
Seeing that the beautiful Jin Qiaoqiao was about to get married and become Lin Fan's woman, those men who were infatuated with her directly committed suicide. In any case, it caused quite a stir and caused quite a stir.
However, in the mainland, it was normal for a few people to die. So, this matter didn't cause too much of a stir and no one cared.
On this day, the entire Wind Cloud City was filled with a festive atmosphere. Inside and outside Wind Cloud City, colorful ribbons were hung high and fireworks were lit. Every household was setting off firecrackers. Wind Cloud Manor was plastered with the word "happy".
Early in the morning, Lin Fan changed into his bridegroom's attire. He rode on a tall dragon horse and pulled a large immortal carriage.
The dragon horse was an existence even stronger than spirit beasts. It was very powerful and was a beast used by the royal family. It had a gentle temperament and was specially used to pull carriages.
This large immortal carriage was specially used by the royal family when they were getting married.
It was decorated with a large "happy" word made of red jade talismans. It was very beautiful and festive. It also had a very strong defense. With an immortal carriage with strong defense, it wasn't afraid of assassins.
Although Lin Fan wasn't the Emperor on the surface, he was actually enjoying the power and treatment of an Emperor. Not to mention one dragon horse, he could even summon ten dragon horses. Not to mention one immortal carriage, he could even use ten immortal carriages. However, Lin Fan didn't want to be high-profile. Otherwise, he could directly marry Jin Qiaoqiao and bring her to the palace.
