Suddenly, Yuan Chengzong called for a group of generals to come over to discuss an important matter. Everyone gathered in the main hall of Hangzhou, and at that moment, they saw Yuan Chengzong slowly walk out from the back hall with a crown on his head and wearing a dragon robe. He saw that the front of the robe was embroidered with the name of Ascending and Descent Dragons, while the side was embroidered with the name of Fleeting Dragons, Cloud Dragons, Regiment Dragons, and so on.

Yuan Chengzong walked out from the back hall and sat in the middle while looking at the people on the ground without saying anything. When everyone saw Yuan Chengzong dressed like this, they were all stunned for a moment. When everyone saw Murong Guiyu kowtowing and calling out "Long live", they immediately followed him on his knees to pay their respects to Yuan Chenyuan as well. At this time, a smile appeared on Yuan Chenyuan's face as he smiled and said, "Everyone, please rise!"

Everyone said in unison, "Thank you, Wan'er!" After that, they all stood up and heard Yuan Chengzong say, "Everyone, today everyone must know the meaning of this old man's attire. This old man had risen the army and even though there are 150,000 soldiers in Zhejiang, this old man has always been a traitor. To be on equal footing with Da Ming! "

As Yuan Chengzong finished his words, Murong Chengyu immediately said, "Master." He immediately changed his words, "Your Majesty, this subject believes that Zhu Yuanzhang already knows that we have started fighting in Zhejiang, and now that the people of Zhejiang Province are unstable, coupled with the pressure from Zhu Yuanzhang's army, if Your Majesty calls us Emperor in a hurry, it will be easy for us to intensify our relationship with the people of Zhejiang Province who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty. This humble subject suggests that we immediately send out troops to fight against Zhu Yunwen, An Yue, and the others who have come to exterminate us, and after that the people will see our strength and not hesitate, Zhu Yuanzhang will not dare to act rashly."

After Murong Chengyu finished speaking, he heard Yuan Chenyuan say lightly, "What do you guys think?"

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the rest of the group say in a loud voice, "This subject has the same intention as you, Your Majesty. Please reconsider."

After the crowd had finished talking, Yuan Chengzong lightly said, "Most of my troops are downtrodden, and my morale is unstable. If this old man does not claim the throne, then he, Zhu Yuan Zhang, will be the one to exterminate the traitors. If this old man claims the throne, then when the time comes, it will be a confrontation between nations."

Once Yuan Chengzong said this, he shouted, "Then it's decided. Tomorrow morning, I will pay my respects to the heaven and earth in Hangzhou and ascend to the throne. If anyone disagrees, we will kill them!"

Everyone heard Yuan Chenghong say this and didn't dare to say anything else. They could only lower their heads together and say, "This subject shall obey the decree." After he said this, Yuan Chenghong left the main hall, and everyone else retreated after seeing Murong Chengyu. On the way, everyone's mood was heavy, not to mention the people like Murong Chengyu and Xue Hongye who originally didn't want to rebel, and the ones who were forced to surrender like Liao Dezhong also had the feeling of not being able to leave until the end.

As for Murong Chengyu and the others, they were thinking that since they were here in the martial arts world, they could call the shots. Now that Yuan Chengzong was the emperor, they were on the Great Ming Dynasty's blacklist. It would be difficult for them to return to the martial arts world, so they all returned to their own camps in different moods.

The next morning, Yuan Chengzong had already arranged everything. Everyone went to the top of Hangzhou's Mansion and stood on both sides. A servant dressed in eunuch's clothes ran out from the inner hall and shouted loudly, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Having said so, they saw Yuan Chengzong slowly walk out from the back and sit in the center. Everyone quickly kneeled down and said in unison, "Long live our Emperor!"

Yuan Chengzong said with a smile, "Everyone, please rise!"

Everyone said in unison, "Thank you, General!" With that, everyone stood up, and the young eunuch took an imperial edict from a person at his side, beating it to the brim and saying, "With the blessing of the Heavens, the imperial edict! "Now that the world is at odds with each other, there are many heroes in the world, and I have the ambition to unite this divided world and return it to the common people in Antai. Today, I will follow the will of the heavens and call myself Emperor in Hangzhou, with the title of Wu, with an annual title of Unification. I will establish Hangzhou as my capital, and we will act accordingly!"

However, the crowd also thought, if he wants to say what he wants to say, he can say it, but as long as he wins the final battle then he can say it. After everyone heard this, they all kneeled down and said, "Congratulations, my Emperor, we wish to unite the lands for thousands of years."

Yuan Chengzong laughed out loud and said, "Good, I will be honored with a great honor today and will be bestowing a great title to all the ministers. I, Murong Chengyu, will immediately order one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers to defeat that Zhu Yunwen for me!"

He really didn't know how many days this country could last. However, he still said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. This humble subject will not disappoint Your Majesty!"

Yuan Chengzong laughed out loud and said, "Good, Tu Xian, Xue Hongye, I hereby appoint the two of you as the Great General of the Left and Right Protectors to accompany Murong Chengyu to rob the bandits!"

Tu Xian and Xue Hongye said together, "This subject thanks Your Majesty for his grace. This subject will not let Your Majesty down!"

Following that, Yuan Chenzong handed Jiang Zhen, Ouyang Chang, Liao Dazhong, Yang Zongwan, Liu Yingying and the others their official positions. Other than Jiang Zhen who stayed behind to guard Hangzhou, everyone else went to Yu Guang De's battle against Zhu Yunwen.

In less than half a day, the news of Yuan Chengzong claiming the title of Emperor had reached the ears of Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was so infuriated that he continuously scolded Yuan Chengzong for being too audacious, even daring to open breakfast. He then immediately asked Zhu Yunwen and An Jieyu's army where they had arrived, and Zhu Yunwen's army had already arrived in Suzhou.

On the way home, An Jiayi also received the news from Yuan Chengzong that he was the emperor. He laughed out loud and said, "Yuan Chengzong is afraid, we will definitely win this battle!"

"Why do you say that, General?"

In less than three days, he had already sent all of the troops to Zhejiang Province. Clearly, the civilians and soldiers of Zhejiang Province did not know how his actual strength was caught by surprise, and this army of one hundred and fifty thousand was just a motley crew. At that time, as long as we use a little bit of distance planning, he will be able to destroy himself.

After Top Scorer Xie Jin heard this, he smiled and said, "General, you've made a wise decision. With the general here, this battle will be easy."

An Jiajia smiled and said, "Lord Supervisor is too kind."
