Chapter 569

Prince Lian really fell into absolute amazement.

"Is there any error in the statistics?" Prince Lian asked.

"We also thought it was incredible, so we counted it again, and there was no mistake." The Great Yan Empire official said: "And it is impossible to make mistakes, black represents Yingguang, and gold represents Shen Lang. It's millions."

Prince Lian said, "How many people voted in total?"

"Fifteen million." The Great Yan Empire official said.

There are about 60 million people in the Xingan Kingdom, and about a quarter of them voted. This is normal. Although this work lasted for eight months, and the relevant team exceeded 10,000 or 20,000 people, the deepest part is to go to the city. At this level, there is no access to the countryside at all. Those rural peasants who want to vote must rush to the city, which is impossible for most peasants.

"Fifteen million people, 9.15 million people support Jiang's Shen Lang, and 6.85 million people support Yingguang." The Dayan Empire official said.

Prince Lian watched it over and over again and sighed, "I really didn't expect such an outcome. I thought the whole Xingan Kingdom would support Yingguang. It seems that people's hearts can really be inspired."

The official of the Great Yan Empire said: "But there are very few people who came to listen to Shen Lang's speech. They were all afraid of being beaten by Guangqiu, so they didn't dare to come and listen. , In the end, it only exceeded 10,000, and all of them came with their faces covered. We counted, and the number of people who actually heard Shen Lang's speech would not exceed 350,000."

Prince Lian said: "Yes, only 350,000 people really came to listen to Shen Lang's speech, but after these people went back, it spread, and every article of his was spread, so people who really felt Shen Lang's emotions. More than 20 million, or even more, because it lasted for more than half a year."

The official of the Dayan Empire said: "It seems that the Jiang family has a very deep foundation in the people of Qianguo. It won the majority of people's minds, and it was a mess."

Prince Lian said sadly: "No, Lord Xu, we screwed up."

The Great Yan Empire official said: "His Royal Highness, what... what does this mean?"

Prince Lian said: "You may not understand it now, but you will understand it soon."

The Great Yan Empire official said tremblingly: "His Royal Highness, no matter what you mean, you...you won't let me take the blame, right?"

Prince Lian glanced at this official, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites of the Dayan Empire, an absolute high-ranking member of the court, and in other kingdoms, he could directly enter the cabinet as prime minister.

"You're taking the blame? The weight is too light." Prince Lian sighed, "Either way, it's okay, I've been really haggard these past few years."

After hearing this, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites felt inexplicable fear in his heart. What does Prince Lian mean by this?

Prince Lian was really tired, and there was no problem in letting him run for the interests of the empire, or even letting him do dirty work. But the key is that he can't understand the emperor's heart, and he can't understand the prince's heart. He really doesn't know what these two supreme beings want to do.

"Let's go, let's announce the results." Prince Lian said, "I ordered the warriors of Yanjing, the warriors of Zhutian Pavilion, to completely block this house, and don't let anyone out, especially those from Yingguang."

"Yes!" said the official of the Great Yan Empire.

Prince Lian said, "Go ahead and stun everyone who Yingguang has left to supervise."

The Great Yan Empire official trembled: "Yes, is this necessary?"

Prince Lian said: "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

"Yes!" said the official of the Great Yan Empire.

"Unparalleled..." Prince Lian said.

Immediately, Ji Wushuang, Princess Zhutian Pavilion, who was hidden in the mission, appeared.

"Do it." Prince Lian said, "Make sure not to let any news leak out."

"Yes!" Ji Wushuang said, and then the figure disappeared instantly.

There was no sound of fighting inside, and it was completely resolved in just a few moments.

This kind of counting votes needs to be fair and open, but the Great Yan Empire has never experienced such a thing, so it is completely implemented in accordance with the system of imperial examinations.

The grading after the scientific examination is completely closed, so the count of votes is also completely closed.

No one knows the results of the imperial examinations before the opening of the rankings, and the same is true for this general vote.

Even the whole process is carried out in the temple of Qianjing, on behalf of this ancient sage supervising all this.

………………

A quarter of an hour later, the door of the holy temple opened.

Ying Guang was a usurper, so he had to be more orthodox, so the holy temple was built beside the palace, and he went to worship when he had something to do.

Ning Yuanxian was not like this. He hated the holy temple, so he built him far away and visited at most once a year.

The announcement of this result is far from attracting a lot of attention, because the civil and military ministers who have won the empire also feel that there will be no surprises in this general vote, and there is no doubt that the victory will be won, because it has been very obvious.

However, as soon as Prince Lian walked out of the holy temple, there was a circle of people outside.

Headed by Zhao Lin, the Prime Minister of Shangshutai of the Great Winning Country, Lan Shi, the Privy Councillor, and the Third Prince Winning Impermanence.

Prime Minister Zhao Lin said, "Prince Lian, has the result of the general vote come out?"

Prince Lian said, "It's out."

Zhao Lin said: "The Great Yan Empire has to be counted."

According to the results of the previous deliberations, the Great Yan Empire will recognize this general vote. Once the people of Ganguo support Yingguang, then this 1.5 million square kilometers of land will justifiably belong to the Ying family, and all countries in the world will recognize it. With the existence of the Great Win Kingdom, the land of Xingan Kingdom has nothing to do with Shen Lang at all.

Prince Lian said: "Let's go to the main hall to announce the result. Is Prince Yingguang here? Has your Majesty Shen Lang come down?"

Zhao Lin said: "There is still half an hour before the grand meeting, and the same is true for your announcement now."

Prince Lian said: "Zhao Lin, you are only the prime minister of Shangshutai of Xingan Kingdom. Did you really hear about this result earlier than Prince Yingguang?"

Prime Minister Zhao Lin's face trembled, and Ying Wuchang waved: "Protect Prince Lian."

Immediately, thousands of warriors rushed in, surrounded Prince Lian and others, and walked towards the main hall of the Dagan Palace.

………………

When the morning sun rises, the dynasty will begin to win the empire.

This is another special court meeting, because not only Yingguang's officials, but also the embassies of the Shen Lang Dagan Empire, as well as the Dayan Empire and all countries in the world participated.

Ying Guang is wearing the dragon robe of the Great Ying Empire and sits on the high throne. The mirror below is wearing the royal robe and sitting on another golden throne. On the left is the Prince Lian of the Great Yan Empire.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The roar of the troops outside stepping on the ground, and the sound of the armor hitting the ears is endless.

Yingguang's army was used like a tide, and the entire hall was surrounded by water.

Ying Guang said: "Prince Lian, after almost 200 days of tossing, let's announce it."

Prince Lian stood up and said: "Before announcing the results, I solemnly state that the results of this vote are real and effective, and will completely determine the ownership of the country of 1.5 million square kilometers. Witnessed by all the countries in the world, representatives of the six detached forces witness."

The audience was silent, waiting eagerly.

Prince Lian opened the box, took out a piece of red paper, and slowly unfolded: "The result of the vote of the entire Xingan Kingdom, the Jiang family has won. A total of 15 million people voted, and 9.15 million people supported Jiang Lang. , 6.85 million people support Yingguang. That is to say, from this moment on, the 1.5 million square kilometers of the Xingan Kingdom belongs to His Majesty Shen Lang, and Prince Yingguang needs to withdraw from the Dagan Palace and Qianjing immediately."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the audience were completely surprised.

How could this be? How is this possible?

How could Shen Lang win? Everyone clearly expressed their support for His Majesty Ying Guang, and even Qianjing Wanmin expelled Shen Lang and regarded him as a disaster star.

When Ying Guang heard the news, his body shuddered violently, and there was even 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 supervise the Holy Temple came to report to him, which was obviously an accident.

But after the result was really determined, he was completely dealt a huge blow.

This, what does this mean? Are the people of Qianguo acting with him? Obviously everyone stood up and expressed their support for him, why did they support Shen Lang when they voted secretly?

Is it really useful for Shen Lang to condescend and act like a clown? Can it really change people's hearts?

The whole place was dead silent.

Yingguang's ministers almost couldn't believe the result, and the embassies of all countries in the world were completely silent.

Prince Lian said: "From the beginning to the end of this plenary vote, the embassies of all countries in the world and the six major detached forces have representatives to supervise to ensure absolute justice, no favoritism, absolute justice and authority. Your Majesty Yingguang, according to the edict, You Yingguang leave Dagan Palace and withdraw from Ganjing, the 1.5 million square kilometers of Xingan Kingdom belongs to His Majesty Shen Lang."

The mirror got up and said: "Prince Yingguang, your throne belongs to me, and your Daying Empire can be established in the Buddha Mountain. Please bring your subjects and troops out of my country completely. Next, my troops and officials will come. Take over the entire Shinkan Kingdom land."

Prince Lian said slowly: "Prince Yingguang, please express your position."

"Hahahaha..." Ying Guang suddenly burst out laughing, then stared at Prince Lian like a hawk and said: "Prince Lian, you are wrong, you are wrong! The people who support me are 9.15 million, and the people who support Shen Lang are 6.85 million, you are blind and misunderstood."

As soon as these words came out, Ying's courtiers were stunned for a while, and then they all said loudly: "Yes, yes, Prince Lian's old eyes are dim and wrong."

"Your Majesty Yingguang won, and Shen Lang lost."

"Shen Lang is like a clown, how could he possibly win?"

"Qianjing Wanmin's attitude is clear and completely on the side of His Majesty Yingguang."

Ying Guang stepped down from the throne, came behind Prince Lian, put his big hand on his neck, and said slowly, "Prince Lian, did you read it wrong?"

At the same time, the tens of thousands of warriors outside slammed their swords, causing the envoys of the Great Yan Empire and the envoys of all countries in the world to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, thousands of snow-carved warriors descended from the sky, enclosing the great hall in the air.

Immediately afterwards, Sect Master Ren of Futu Mountain walked in slowly, and said with a smile, "Am I late? Prince Lian, have the results of all votes come out?"

Prince Lian said, "It's out."

Sect Master Ren smiled and said, "What about the result?"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Princess Ji Wushuang of Zhutian Pavilion.

Ying Guang said: "Prince Lian, all the envoys of the Great Yan Empire, and the right servant of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Yan Empire, the result of the vote has come out. I won, right? Sixty percent of the people support me, and 40 percent of the people support me. Shen Lang. Although the process of this big vote is very difficult, the result is still authoritative. This is really a great attempt, right?"

It was at this time that Prince Lian felt a sharp pain in his neck, as if something had penetrated into his cervical spine.

"Prince Lian, you announce the result." Ying Guang said.

Prince Lian trembled and said: "I... I officially announce that this whole vote of Qianguo, a total of 15 million people participated, 9.15 million people supported His Majesty Yingguang, 6.85 million people supported His Majesty Shen Lang, His Majesty Yingguang Victory, the 1.5 million square kilometers of the Xingan Kingdom belongs to His Majesty Yingguang."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was dead silent.

Many elderly ministers sneered in their hearts, while many young ministers, whether they were members of the diplomatic missions of various countries, or even young ministers under Yingguang's command, felt cold all over.

They also felt that this general vote was absurd and too childish, but when they participated in it, they had an inexplicable sense of sacred seriousness.

Because many people present witnessed it in person, every process was fair, just and serious.

However, this result was so absurd that it was easily overturned, and it was openly referring to deer as horse.

More than 20,000 to 30,000 people, the hard work of more than half a year, and the emotions of more than 15 million people were easily trampled on.

During the whole process, the mirror playing Shen Lang was silent.

Qiu Yao'er was silent, and Su Nan was also silent.

Ying Guang said: "Prince Lian, please go outside now and announce the result in front of Qianjing Wanmin. By the way, His Majesty Shen Lang, let's go together, three people walking together."

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

The door of the main hall opened, and there were tens of thousands of warriors outside. As long as Yingguang gave an order, he could kill all the people in the diplomatic missions of the world.

As Ying Guang came out, the tens of thousands of warriors directly opened a passage and saluted Ying Guang's attention.

Ying Guang wore a black embroidered gold dragon robe, and he was mighty and domineering.

"Does Prince Lian feel that his back is a little cold? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, this kind of Gu worm is extremely special, but it still has an antidote." Ying Guang whispered: "I don't even worry that the mirror next to me will hear it."

Prince Lian trembled slightly, but did not speak.

"Do you think that I, Ying Guang, are too arrogant, and dare to attack you, the prince of the Great Yan Empire, and dare to attack the missions of all countries in the world?" Ying Guang sneered: "You may want to return to Yanjing, Report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and give me a devastating blow to the Great Victory Empire? Impossible, this scene is what the two Supremes of Yanjing want to see the most."

Ying Guang took the two of them out of the palace and came to the tower.

There are still more than 200,000 people standing in the square below, densely packed and dark, looking up at the tower.

Ying Guang said: "Prince Lian, you are the imperial commissioner of the Dayan Empire, officially announce it."

More than half of the people in the entire Xingan Kingdom supported Shen Lang, but it was useless. They couldn't come to Ganjing, and they couldn't stand in front of the palace.

Prince Lian closed his eyes in pain. To be honest, he was afraid of death, but there was something more important to him than death, and that was his dignity. After all, he came from a royal family, and he was in charge of the diplomacy of the Dayan Empire. It's been ten years.

This scene in front of me is really a great shame.

"Everything is for the benefit of the empire." Prince Lian said slowly in his heart.

Ying Guang said: "Prince Lian, announce it."

Prince Lian of the Dayan Empire awkwardly took over the Nightmare Stone sonic amplifying device and said loudly: "I announce that the vote of all the citizens of the Xingan Kingdom has officially ended. Clan, from now on this land has nothing to do with Jiang Clan."

As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent for a few seconds, and then someone knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live, long live, Your Majesty Yingguang."

"Long live the big win empire, long live, long live!"

There were only a few thousand people at the beginning, and then tens of thousands of people shouted.

And these 200,000 people just knelt down, didn't cheer, just quietly accepted the result they wanted.

………………

"This is really an ugly scene." Su Nan, deputy envoy of the Privy Council of the Dagan Empire, said slowly, "But I'm not surprised at all."

The mirror said: "I'm not surprised, Your Majesty Ying Guang, no matter whether the result is ugly or not, it is a result after all, and now I'm leaving."

"Go?" Ying Guang sneered: "Where to go, where to go?"

Su Nan said coldly, "Your Majesty Yingguang, what do you mean? Could it be that you still want to imprison my Majesty?"

Then, Su Nan looked towards Prince Lian and said, "The Great Yan Empire and the six detached forces have been guaranteed to protect the safety of my majesty."

Ying Guangdao: "I didn't say that I wanted to kill His Majesty Shen Lang, or even torturing him, just let him stay. Your Majesty Shen Lang, don't you like me very much in this great palace? Then stay for the rest of your life. Don't go."

Ying Wuchang smiled and said, "If you can't be a great emperor, it's not bad to be a prisoner."

Ying Guang said to Prince Lian: "Minister of imperial envoy, you have been away from Yanjing for so long, it's time to go back to do business."

Prince Lian was silent for a long time, and said to Ying Guang, "Prince Ying Guang, I want to talk to His Majesty Shen Lang alone."

Ying Guang and others withdrew, leaving only Prince Lian and Mirror in the room.

Prince Lian looked at the mirror quietly and did not move. In the past six months or so, Ying Guang and the mirror have not met many times, but Prince Lian almost gets along with him day and night.

He didn't see the flaw, nor did he see that it was a stand-in, he just felt strange.

"Your Majesty Shen Lang, as a chess piece, you can't help yourself." Prince Lian sighed: "I used to think I was a chess player, but in the end I was still a sad chess piece. Of course I thought I was a chess player, but it turned out to be a chess piece. I'm not alone, and I hope you're not that person."

The mirror just laughed and didn't say anything.

"Farewell, take care!" Prince Lian said.

The next day, Prince Lian of the Great Yan Empire left Qianjing with the mission and returned to Yanjing, completely abandoning the Shen Lang mission.

Yingguang officially announced to the world that he won a great victory by all votes. From now on, the 1.5 million square kilometers of the Xingan Kingdom will officially belong to the Ying family.

Then, Ying Guang formally imprisoned Shen Lang and several hundred people from the envoy of Raging Tide City.

Then, the entire Xingan Kingdom officially changed its flag, and all counties and provinces were replaced with the black king flag of the British Empire.

The governors of the provinces, the governors of the prefectures, and the city lords all changed their official robes and hats, and transformed themselves into officials of the Great Win Empire.

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

The edict was posted in every village announcing the result of the general vote.

In order to celebrate this great victory, Yingguang ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain, amnesty for the world, and the examination of Enke, and the whole world celebrated.

All provincial, county, and city officials must organize celebrations, bring clothes for the elderly, and snacks for children, so that all people in the world can enjoy the kindness of His Majesty Yingguang.

………………

Inside the Yanjing Palace.

Prince Lian kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, Yingguang's move confuses black and white, and calls a deer a horse. This minister suggests that the Great Yan Empire impose sanctions and, if necessary, carry out strategic strikes."

The Prince of Great Yan Empire did not answer.

Prince Lian said: "His Royal Highness, how tarnished the majesty of my Great Yan Empire by Ying Guang's actions? If I don't punish me, how will the world view my Yanjing?"

The Prince of the Great Yan Empire said slowly: "Prince Lian, you...you are too deep into the play."

Prince Lian trembled and said, "Your Highness, is this the case?"

The Prince of Dayan Empire said, "Prince Lian everyone else is acting, why do you take it seriously?"

Prince Lian said excitedly: "At that time, the scene of Yingguang referring to a deer as a horse was clearly seen by the envoys of all countries in the world. What a blow to the majesty of our Great Yan Empire? How would people in the world see my Great Yan Empire?"

The imperial prince waved his hand and said, "Prince Lian, you are already tired, go back and have a good rest."

"Your Highness..." Prince Lian shouted.

The imperial prince picked up a memorial and looked at it, but did not speak again.

Prince Lian kowtowed, trembling and backed out.

Then the prince of the Great Yan Empire said: "I have an decree to reprimand Ganjing Yingguang and ask him to send someone to Yanjing to plead guilty."

"According to the order!"

………………

A few days later, Ying Guang sent a huge mission to Yanjing to plead guilty.

The Great Yan Empire issued three decrees in a row and sternly reprimanded them, each decree being stricter than the other.

Yingguang once again pleaded guilty and downgraded himself, downgrading the Great Win Empire to the Great Win Kingdom, and expressed his absolute support for the rule of the Great Yan Empire, and His Majesty the Emperor is the only leader in the Eastern world.

Yanjing was silent, and did not immediately announce the recognition of the existence of the Great Win Kingdom, but acquiesced to the fact that the 1.5 million square kilometers of the original Xingan Kingdom belonged to the Ying clan.

Then, the Prime Minister of the Shangshutai of the Dagan Empire and the King of Danan, Sha Jin, the King of Wu, the King of Chu, and the King of Yue jointly issued an edict, scolding Ying Guang for confounding right and wrong in the general voting of the Qian Kingdom, calling deer a horse, and expressing that he would never recognize the result. , the 1.5 million square kilometers of the Xingan Kingdom still belongs to the Dagan Empire.

Next, the embassies of all countries in the world gradually revealed the rumors, exposing Ying Guang's crime of calling a deer a horse.

After all, there is no airtight wall in the world. At least hundreds of envoys from all over the world heard the result of that vote, and saw with their own eyes Ying Guang’s actions.

The storm spread more and more widely, and finally swept the entire eastern world like a storm.

Then all eyes were focused on Prince Lian of the Great Yan Empire. After all, he was the ultimate responsible person for this matter. He also announced the result of the vote and presided over the whole process.

At this time, if he exposes that Prince Lian refers to a deer as a horse and confuses black and white, then the majesty of the Great Yan Empire will be hit.

But if he publicly declares that Ying Guang did not take the blame, that would be another endorsement of Ying Guang's crimes.

Prince Lian entered the palace several times, kowtowed and bleeding, and asked the Prince of Dayan Empire to sanction Yingguang.

But the prince of the Great Yan Empire did not respond.

Countless eyes and countless voices forced Prince Lian to tell him the truth.

In the end, the Prince of Dayan Empire sent a note to Prince Lian with a few words on it: The real Shen Lang is in Raging Tide City, and the decisive battle between him and Ying Guang is about to begin.

Suddenly, Prince Lian was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. He deeply felt the words of the prince of the Great Yan Empire. Everyone else is acting, but you are too deeply involved in the drama.

This, is this all playing me as a monkey?

Ying Guang played me like a monkey, you Shen Lang played me like a monkey, Your Royal Highness also played me like a monkey?

Everything I do is for the benefit of the Great Yan Empire, why are you forcing me like this?

next day!

The family found Prince Lian's body in the study.

This prince, who was on the diplomatic field of the Great Yan Empire, bid farewell to the world in this way.

………………

The war of words over the popular vote in the dry country has intensified.

Raging Tide City, Wu, Chu and Yue three kingdoms, every day, they are scolding and exposing Yingguang's crimes to the world. Please Yingguang unconditionally hand over the 1.5 million square kilometers of Xingan Kingdom. Please Yingguang unconditionally release His Majesty Shen Lang and the members of the mission.

So far the world is in an uproar!

Ying Guang is so arrogant that he has detained all the Emperor and the embassy?

The emperor and the emperor of Dagan have been arrested, and the country of Dagan is still playing a fart.

What a shame.

And Yan Jing remained silent, as if he had no intention of coming out to preside over justice.

In the end, the Minister of the Daqian Empire and the Privy Council issued the most severe credentials to Ying Guang, asking Ying Guang to unconditionally release His Majesty Shen Lang, Marshal Qiu Yao'er, Su Nan, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and all the members of the mission within ten days. , If you don't agree, the Dagan Empire will officially declare war on Yingguang.

Ying Guang burned this national certificate in front of the court officials, with an extremely arrogant and contemptuous attitude.

The Shangshutai of the Daqian Empire and the Privy Council couldn't bear it any longer. The King of Wu, the King of Chu, and the King of Yue entered the Furious Tide City, after a whole day and night of deliberation.

The Dagan Empire officially declared war on Yingguang's so-called Daying Kingdom.

The whole world was in an uproar, your emperor Shen Lang was arrested, and the dragons had no leader, so you had to rely on your ministers to declare war?

What hope do you have in this battle?

On the 19th day of November, 50,000 troops from Raging Tide City landed on the Yue Kingdom.

The 50,000-strong army officially marched on the northern expedition, and the attack won Guangguang.

………………

Note: The first one is sent, please ask for the monthly ticket, ask for support, thank you all benefactors.
