Chapter 758: They Have All Gone Mad
The entire Longyan Dynasty was in an uproar.
The Imperial Jade Seal?
The Tuolei Tomb Cluster?
Some time ago, during Xie Tianyao's birthday, the Tiemu City from the Grassland presented a treasure map that shocked the entire Longyan Dynasty, because this treasure map contained clues to the Imperial Jade Seal!
This time, Liu Zheng went to Liaodong not only to develop Liaodong but also carrying the mission from Xie Tianyao to search for the Imperial Jade Seal.
Xie Fang, Xie Ming, why have they been hounding Liu Zheng relentlessly?
It is also for the sake of the Imperial Jade Seal!
The Imperial Jade Seal has always represented Heaven-Given Imperial Power; whoever can obtain this Imperial Jade Seal has the qualifications to be Emperor!
Once this thing appeared, who wouldn't have ideas?
Who wouldn't be green with envy?
It's just that no one expected everything to come so quickly. This Vice Minister Liu hadn't even arrived in Liaodong yet, and he had already found this tomb?
Right in Wangchuan?
Jinghua.
The Imperial Palace.
The civil and military officials were gathered for a rare grand court assembly.
Xie Tianyao, wearing his dragon robe, watched this group of people quietly.
In reality, his heart was incredibly excited.
The Imperial Jade Seal!
When Tiemu City gave him this clue, he actually hadn't held much hope; after all, this item had been lost for hundreds of years... He didn't know how many generations of imperial courts and how many generations of emperors had exhausted how much manpower and material resources, yet none had found it.
But today...
The letter flown back by Liu Zheng recorded the discovery in detail.
It is highly likely!
It is highly likely that the Imperial Jade Seal is in this tomb of Tuolei!
"Congratulations to the Emperor, felicitations to the Emperor! Heaven blesses Longyan, Heaven blesses Longyan!"
The first white-haired old official to stand up was already streaming with tears.
The entire court followed by kneeling and shouting "Long live."
If the Imperial Jade Seal could return to the Longyan Dynasty, it would definitely be a great help to the Xie Family's rule over the world!
Legitimacy!
This proves that the current branch of the Xie Family is the true legitimacy to which the world should pledge its heart!
Xie Tianyao chuckled, stood up, and signaled for them to rise.
Legitimacy!
This branch of the Xie Family had indeed pursued legitimacy for too many years. Why did every change of imperial power in the Longyan Dynasty signify the beginning of a bloodbath? In fact, the biggest reason was the lack of this Imperial Jade Seal; since they were not the legitimate line, every Feudatory King had the possibility of ascending the throne.
But if they had the Imperial Jade Seal, it would be different.
Whoever holds the Imperial Jade Seal is the legitimate ruler, and whoever holds it is the Emperor.
Xie Tianyao knew even more clearly that the current Longyan Dynasty could no longer withstand such turmoil.
Even if he could live for another year, it would be very difficult to change the predicament of Longyan.
The Crown Prince Xie Fang could not support the overall situation.
Xie Ming was still young and could not stand alone.
Added to that was the ambition of Vice Minister Liu's side in Liangzhou.
The Old Aristocrats, the Scholar-officials, and the newly emerged New Aristocracy—the current situation in Longyan was too complex.
If he were to die, relying on these few princes of his, without iron-fisted methods, it would be completely impossible to continue controlling the imperial power. He had thought about placing a few capable ministers of governance by Xie Fang's side to provide Assistance, but unfortunately, the current officialdom and talent of Longyan were all controlled by the Scholar-officials. Furthermore, this Xie Fang was truly not living up to expectations...
The Imperial Jade Seal.
At this time, the appearance of the Imperial Jade Seal would surely solve any difficulty.
He looked around calmly: "My dear ministers, this matter is of great importance. Vice Minister Liu has requested the imperial court to send another 150,000 troops to reinforce Liaodong. What do you all think?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in dismay.
Send troops?
It was just digging a grave, why send troops?
No!
Suddenly, people realized.
This Imperial Jade Seal was lost back then by the remnants of the Great Tang!
This time, the whole world knew that the Imperial Jade Seal had appeared again!
Then, would these remnants of the Great Tang...
Very likely!
Highly likely!
This matter was too complex. If the remnants of the Great Tang were also involved, wouldn't that mean the current Liaodong Regional Commander, Qiao Yuan...
"Emperor, this matter must be done!"
"Emperor, the Imperial Jade Seal is no small matter! 150,000 troops might not be enough; it should be 200,000!"
"Emperor..."
But regardless, everyone supported sending the troops.
The remnants of the Great Tang...
A look of gratification still flashed through the eyes of Xie Tianyao.
Because even those scholar-officials like Zhu Zhen, people who might secretly have economic dealings with the remnants of the Great Tang, had expressed their loyalty to him at the very first opportunity.
What did this signify?
Over these years, the Xie Family's governance of the Longyan Dynasty had indeed won the hearts of the people.
"Proclamation!"
Xie Tianyao said coldly.
The entire court knelt and bowed once more.
"Order the Prince of Jin to dispatch one hundred thousand troops, the Wu King to dispatch one hundred thousand troops, and the Prince of Wei to dispatch one hundred thousand troops to reinforce Liaodong. Let the Prince of Wei preside over the overall situation. You must bring this Imperial Jade Seal back to Us!"
"The Emperor is wise!"
Three hundred thousand troops!
This time, the imperial court was sparing no expense.
……
"What are you saying? The Imperial Jade Seal?"
And at this moment.
Qiao Yuan, who was enjoying himself in his "Efang Palace," jumped to his feet upon hearing these words.
"Is this true? Is this really true?"
Qiao Yuan felt like he was about to vomit blood.
He had been operating in Liaodong for so long, yet he had never discovered that this entire Wangchuan was the tomb of Tuolei, and that this Imperial Jade Seal was very likely hidden within this tomb?
Mad!
He felt like he wanted to die!
And such a good opportunity had been snatched by that Vice Minister Liu?
If he had discovered this tomb earlier, if he could have obtained this Imperial Jade Seal...
As Qiao Yuan thought about it, his ambition began to rise.
In the land of Liaodong, he was a local emperor in every sense of the word.
To say he was below one person and above ten thousand was no longer enough; it was simply his own world! Whatever he said went, and he held the power of life and death over everyone in Liaodong!
He had wanted to be titled a king for a long time...
But who could have imagined that he had actually missed the chance to possess the Imperial Jade Seal! In other words, he had missed a chance to become the emperor!
Infuriating!
"Great King, this..."
"Great King..."
His subordinates, both civil and military, looked at each other in dismay.
The Imperial Jade Seal!
That was the Imperial Jade Seal!
A thing that could make people lose their heads, or even go mad!
If Qiao Yuan possessed this Imperial Jade Seal, and with the help of the remnants of the Great Tang, could he not rally everyone to his cause and fight his way back to Longyan?
My heavens...
Everyone thought of this, and they were instantly breathless.
Emperor!
Founding heroes!
If Qiao Yuan could obtain this Imperial Jade Seal, then it was very likely that they would all be founding heroes!
"Go, prepare the troops and horses for Mandarin!"
Qiao Yuan could no longer restrain himself and waved his hand.
"Yes! Great King!"
"Go and seize it!"
"Seize it!"
Mad.
Xie Tianyao was mad.
Qiao Yuan was also going mad.
In fact, it was not just these two people who were crazy at this moment.
The Feudatory Kings within the country, although they still maintained their awe of Xie Tianyao.
But this matter concerned the Bitter Remonstrance of the imperial succession...
How could they not have their own ideas?
