Chapter 1370: Establishing a Nation (2)
Chapter 1370: Establishing a Nation (2)
January 17th, 2018
With Lu Hai Kong's current strength, he was undoubtedly the supreme ruler in the Three Kingdoms. Dealing with anyone was a simple task for him, and both Liu Cheng and Meng Hu were well aware of this fact.
Whether it was Meng Hu or Liu Cheng, Lu Hai Kong didn't need to take action unless he wanted to, and when he did, he would effortlessly crush them.
However, Lu Hai Kong didn't kill either of them. Despite their attempts to escape, he didn't pursue Meng Hu, and Liu Cheng, who was chased by Yue Ying to the ship, was spared by her as well. She only scared him and eventually let him go.
No one knew why Lu Hai Kong spared them, but no one really cared. After all, in the eyes of Lu Hai Kong's subordinates and the entire world, these two were insignificant. With Lu Hai Kong's current strength, killing them would be effortless. As long as they stayed far away from the Great Han Empire, no one cared whether they lived or died.
Furthermore, they had more important matters to focus on, and that was the establishment of a nation!
With the temporary elimination of the foreign threat and the eradication of internal dangers within the Great Han Empire, it was time for Lu Hai Kong to reveal his plan to establish his rule and become the emperor.
The current situation was clear to everyone; Lu Hai Kong was the uncrowned king, and no one in the world could rival his power. To secure a promising future, countless aristocratic families and renowned scholars flocked to Luoyang City.
Upon arriving in Luoyang, these individuals immediately set their sights on Lu Hai Kong's ascension to the throne, seeing it as an opportunity. They continuously urged Lu Hai Kong to declare himself emperor.
Lu Hai Kong, of course, was willing to become the emperor.
However, Lu Hai Kong, with his slight obsession for perfection, didn't want to rush the process. After all, the imperial position wasn't going anywhere. If he was going to do it, he wanted to do it right and establish a perfect foundation for his nation.
As a result, these individuals' enthusiasm met with a cold response. Lu Hai Kong ignored all suggestions from his subordinates regarding his ascension, continually delaying the matter.
Only Lu Hai Kong's closest confidants knew that he was delaying his ascension for the sake of the task. Others assumed that he was merely maintaining a certain stance.
As Lu Hai Kong continued to delay, his subordinates became increasingly eager to offer their advice.
In Luoyang, numerous aristocratic families and renowned scholars emerged, persistently urging Lu Hai Kong to take the throne. Outside Luoyang, in the thirteen provinces of the Great Han Empire, starting from Lu Hai Kong's birthplace of Bingzhou, almost every village began writing petitions, pleading with Lu Hai Kong to establish his nation.
In just a few months, Luoyang City received hundreds of carts filled with petitions.
Nevertheless, Lu Hai Kong continued to delay, but he wasn't just idly waiting. He devoted more effort to the task at hand.
Finally, in August 195, a year after Lu Hai Kong repelled the foreign invasion, he and his forces successfully gained complete control over the territory of the Great Han Empire, achieving a true one hundred percent dominance on the map!
After accomplishing this feat, Lu Hai Kong finally put the long-delayed matter of establishing his nation and declaring himself emperor on the agenda. When word of this spread, it caused a stir throughout the entire world.
It had been nearly a year since Lu Hai Kong kept this matter under wraps, and everyone in the country, from the common folk to his trusted subordinates, was brimming with enthusiasm for the idea of establishing an empire and becoming an emperor.
As soon as Lu Hai Kong gave the green light, various parties began to urge him to take the throne, and this time, he didn't delay.
However, becoming an emperor was no small matter. If he were to follow ancient traditions, Lu Hai Kong would indeed have a busy time ahead of him.
Of course, with Lu Hai Kong's current influence, he didn't need to worry about such matters. There were people to handle everything for him.
His subordinates began preparing for the coronation.
Everyone was incredibly enthusiastic about this task, and the aristocratic families were especially concerned about any potential mishaps. They did their best to simplify the coronation process.
While simplifying the process, they also ensured that they didn't take the matter lightly, making the event as grand as possible. It was truly a challenge for them to find a balance between these conflicting requirements.
Half a month later, on the 15th of August in the year 195, Lu Hai Kong officially became the emperor in Luoyang City.
In fact, not many people knew that on that day, Lu Hai Kong was also prepared for battle at any moment.
Given the system's nature, it was highly likely that it would create some trouble during the coronation, and Lu Hai Kong had made all the necessary preparations.
However, to Lu Hai Kong's surprise, the nation-building task turned out to be a complete bonus. There were no other challenges during the establishment of the empire.
The anticipated monster siege that Lu Hai Kong had expected never materialized, making the entire coronation process incredibly smooth!
Even as Lu Hai Kong announced his ascension and changed the country's name to Jin, the system's rewards immediately took effect.
[Ding! Congratulations on your successful coronation. Your nation-building task is perfectly completed!]
Please... Your... Collection_6_9_Book_Bar (Six//Nine//Book//Bar)
[You have successfully completed the nation-building task and obtained a [Heavenly Treasure Chest]!]
[You have successfully completed the nation-building task and are rewarded with a guardian divine beast!]
[Ding! Detected that you already have a guardian divine beast, a [Dragon]. The reward has been changed!]
[The seal on your guardian divine beast, [Niu Niu], has been lifted, and its strength has been enhanced!]
Several system prompts sounded as Lu Hai Kong became the emperor, and at that moment, Niu Niu, who had been standing beside Lu Hai Kong, secretly took a sip of wine and froze.
A terrifying power surged from her heart, and a golden light burst forth from Niu Niu's body. She then began to levitate in mid-air.
As the golden light flickered, the exquisite Niu Niu instantly stole the spotlight from the newly crowned Lu Hai Kong, causing many of his subordinates to frown.
Some of them began cursing Lu Hai Kong in their hearts, criticizing him for not understanding etiquette and allowing a young girl to cause a disturbance on such an important day.
But to their surprise, they were all left dumbfounded.
Within the golden light, Niu Niu transformed. In the blink of an eye, she changed from a delicate young girl into a majestic dragon several dozen meters long!
As the excited dragon soared through the skies above Luoyang, the city's residents, both scholars and commoners, reacted with awe.
The divine dragon's protection of the nation proved that Lu Hai Kong was indeed the chosen one with the Heavenly Destiny!
