Chapter 549 Second Abdication

The top management of Wancheng Kingdom is divided into two factions.

One faction advocates launching a war to nip the threat in its infancy before it grows.

One faction advocates not launching a war and using other methods of containment.

Or agree to Jiang Ruyue's initiative to show affection, and the two sides sign the "Long-Term Friendship Treaty".

But there was immediate opposition from hardliners.

"No! Only war can contain Dongyuanzhou, only war can weaken this threat!"

"Yes! If we don't use force, our Wancheng Kingdom's good days will come to an end!" said another hardliner.

"However, we can't find any excuse to start a war. In recent years, Dongyuanzhou has repeatedly shown goodwill, and the bilateral trade volume is very high. Dongyuanzhou's export of soul stones to our country has increased to 500 tons, and other precious resources have also been released. Exit, launching a war under such circumstances is really a senseless war." A senior executive frowned.

"Even if it is unrighteous, it is better than a powerful opponent appearing in the future and destroying us in turn!"

"Why don't you find an excuse and let the media help to hype it up. Didn't dozens of tourists in our country die in an attack in Dongyuanzhou last year?"

"No, this matter has been properly handled by Dongyuanzhou, and each family member has paid 1 million yuan. There is no need to blame too much, and it is useless to bring it out."

Yun Xiao shook his head and said: "With the strength of Dongyuanzhou, it is impossible to take them down without more than 1500 five-type Lingyuan warships. We only have 1000 ships at present, and the population of monks in Dongyuanzhou , has more than 800 million people, which is only slightly less than our country. If the whole people of such a huge continent revolts, our country will inevitably suffer heavy losses and may not stand still."

"Let's agree with Jiang Ruyue's proposal. The two sides should sign a Treaty of Friendship. This world is so huge that it can accommodate two big countries."

The world is so big that it can accommodate two big countries.

This sentence was actually said by Jiang Ruyue in a diplomatic letter. She said that the territory of the world is vast and there are countless Yuanzhou, so why bother to stare at Dongyuanzhou?If the Wancheng Kingdom develops to the west, and the Dongyuan Kingdom develops to the east, and each expands its power, it will be possible to meet after many years. Why both sides will be hurt at the original point, and each other will be mortal enemies?
Although Fu Yunxiao knew that it was Jiang Ruyue's trick to induce him, he had to admit that there was some truth in these words.

"Where can there be two big countries in this world, not to mention the two countries are close at hand? The head of the country, start a war, you can't do it!" A hardliner in the military is still unwilling.

"That's because you can't stand it personally! If you want to fight you alone, you must win the support of all soldiers and most of the people. Without these, you must never start a war!"

Fu Yunxiao patted the table and said.

Two days later, a lot of hype about the "Dongyuanzhou Threat Theory" appeared on thousands of domestic media in Wancheng. The headlines were very scary and the content was also worrying.

According to a number of media surveys, the proportion of people who support the use of force once reached 70%.

However, many articles refuting the "Dongyuanzhou Threat Theory" appeared together, and the calculation of the loss of personnel paid by the Wancheng Kingdom may exceed 20 years. After the war of expansion, public opinion in support of the use of force has dropped to 40%.

Many peaceful people have also voiced the need for unjust wars through various channels.

The hardliners were furious, but there was nothing they could do.

In addition, in the National Defense Forces, although the soldiers obeyed the orders of their superiors very much, 50% of the soldiers still privately stated that they did not want to fight Dongyuanzhou.

Neither the military nor the civilians fully supported it, so the war plan naturally ran aground.

Dongyuanzhou escaped a catastrophe.

The Eastern Yuan Kingdom was formally established.

Because it is an imperial system, it is also declared as the "Eastern Yuan Empire".

After the grand coronation ceremony, Jiang Ruyue changed from His Majesty the Palace Master to Her Majesty the Empress. From then on, the Emperor came to the world and became the emperor of the first national government within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles and hundreds of millions of years.

It set a precedent in history.

People are expecting that a big country will achieve glory under the leadership of this emperor.

However, only two years after being crowned emperor, when the various undertakings of the Eastern Yuan Empire were developing rapidly, another huge disturbance occurred within the empire.

It is known as the "second abdication storm" in history.

Jiang Ruyue abdicated again.

And the duration is quite long, 128 days.

Why did she abdicate this time?
her mother.

She wanted to release her mother, the female devil who had been imprisoned in the Demon Town Tower for more than 60 years.

This is also another wish of hers, besides unifying Dongyuanzhou, another wish that she wants to realize in her life.

It even ranks above the establishment of the Eastern Yuan Empire, and has always been ranked first.

Now in her heart, only this wish has not come true.

So after the empire is basically stable in all aspects, she wants to realize this wish.

But the opposition, the overwhelming opposition.

There is hardly a single support.

"Your Majesty can't!"

"The female devil is extremely harmful, and must not be released!"

"Only the Zhang Shengren of the past can suppress this female devil. If she is released, it will only cause a catastrophe!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"When the female devil comes out, my Dongyuan Kingdom will be devastated and turned into nothingness."

"Your Majesty, the female devil is not an ordinary person. She has no possibility of repenting and doing good. She must be suppressed forever."

Even though Jiang Ruyue repeatedly promised and swore that her mother had repented and would live a peaceful life after she came out, no one would believe her, and they all believed that it was a trick of the female devil to deceive her. After she was released, It is impossible for her not to hurt people.

After all, in the past few decades, in the various folklore of Dongyuan Kingdom, with all kinds of embellishments, the female devil in the Demon Suppressing Tower has become the most evil person in the world, and she represents evil. It represents the fear in people's hearts, and represents the symbol of evil that is the most impossible to change.

Now let the devil head out.

It is to release the fear in people's hearts and release the biggest devil in the world.

How can people not worry?How is it possible not to object?
Even if she is the biological mother of Her Majesty the Queen, people will not choose to accept it.

Abdication.

Jiang Ruyue could only think of a way to abdicate, and when she announced her abdication, she broke down in tears in front of millions of people, hoping that the people would fulfill her wish, a daughter's wish to be filial to her mother.

People received this earth-shattering sincerity and filial piety, understood it very much, and were even moved to tears.

But to release the devil head, I don't support it, I definitely don't support it.

I dare not support it either.

Because the shadow that the female devil once cast on this land is too big, it can't go away, and people are afraid of repeating the same mistakes.

Jiang Ruyue could only announce her abdication, lay down her power, and no longer deal with any government affairs.

Only 10 days after his abdication, Dongyuan Kingdom fell into obvious chaos.

On the 30th day, work in many departments was paralyzed.

On the 50th day, the abdication has had a significant impact on the normal life of ordinary people.

On the 100th day, tens of millions of officials and people gathered under the Demon Suppressing Pagoda on the back mountain of Xiaoyao Palace, kneeling on the ground, imploring Her Majesty the Queen to come back and manage the country.

On the 120th day, the entire Dongyuan Kingdom was filled with people's hearts and minds, order collapsed, and chaos fell into chaos.

On the 121st day, some officers and soldiers of the Guards Corps staged a mutiny, dispersed the tower guard monks stationed under the Demon Town Tower, forcibly opened the Town Demon Tower, and asked Her Majesty the Queen to come out of the Tower entered the Demon Town Tower), continue to lead the country.

As for Her Majesty's mother...Your Majesty can also bring out, if there is any problem, they will solve it.

That's right, these soldiers of the Guards, whose loyalty to Her Majesty has reached a fanatical level, are not afraid of any female devils. They are worried that if the country continues like this, the country will fail, and sooner or later it will be torn apart. They launched a mutiny to end it. this situation.

What if the female devil comes out and harms the world?
They are fighters, let them die in the hands of the female devil first.

It was with this awareness that the mutiny soldiers were completely willing to fight.

So, under the horrified eyes of millions of officials and common people, Jiang Ruyue walked out of the Demon Suppressing Tower, pulling her mother with long hair dragging the floor and an unusually white face.

But after coming out, the female devil only stayed outside for seven days.

Seven days later, while Her Majesty was kneeling and howling, the devil head walked into the Demon Town Tower by herself.

Yes.

There is no room for Jiang Ruonan in this world.

On the first day the female devil came out of the tower, nearly 80% of the officials submitted their resignations to Jiang Ruyue.

The next day, 88 cities declared their secession from the empire.

On the third day, the number of cities that broke away from the empire increased to 321.

On the fourth day, the remaining three major sects began to recruit troops and conspired to rebel.

On the fifth day, nearly half of the members of the political party she formed announced their withdrawal from the party.

On the sixth day, except for some guards, Jiang Ruyue found that no one had carried out and obeyed her orders.

Then there was the scene that happened on the seventh day. The female devil took Jiang Ruyue's hand and said kindly:

"Son, I've been very happy these days, really happy, but I should go back, I should go back to my home, in this world, only there is my destination."

"Mother!"

"Mother!!"

Jiang Ruyue dragged her hand and wept bitterly. In the end, she was still helpless. She watched the door slowly close and knelt down on the ground, feeling like a knife was twisting her heart.

The female devil head returned to the Zhenmo Tower, and Dongyuan Kingdom quickly recovered its calm.
