Peace Order

Chapter 1843 - 91: Emperor

The white hair at the temples hung down, and the gaze had lost its former sharpness, replaced by a sense of calm and resolute strength: "Negotiation and peace talks will never bring true peace."

"It’s a pity, hasn’t Brother Jiang Gao grown over these years?"

Jiang Cai wanted to argue.

But looking at this young king who seemed to be seasoned by the world and resembled Jiang Wanxiang back then, she was subdued, and Prince Qin said: "The long annals of history, how could there be a great kingdom that is content with mere stability?!"

"Only under the sword and blade is the true Chapter revealed."

"When two armies fight, emissaries shall not be slain. Miss Cai, please return."

Jiang Cai murmured: "When two armies fight..."

"Prince Qin, when did our two countries start fighting?"

Prince Qin responded:

"When have we ever stopped fighting?"

Prince Qin grasped his sword, and descended calmly, his steps steady and composed, his sleeves fluttering, with an imperial aura, he said lightly: "The battle for the unification of the world has long begun, and it has not yet ceased until now."

Jiang Cai’s heart pounded furiously, overwhelmed by fear and pressure.

As Prince Qin walked out, he was accompanied by civil and military ministers.

On his right side, stood Yue Pengwu, solemn and dignified.

On the left side, was Breaking Army, who had been defeated by her in his youth, but then returned with a stick to fight back.

Breaking Army also passed by her, and as he did, he slightly curled his lips:

"This time, I have won, Jiang Cai."

"Do you have such a monarch?"

Jiang Cai looked at the arrogant purple-eyed youth, his chin slightly raised, lips curled, dressed in elegant attire. She wondered if her mind was in disarray, as she felt something like a tail behind him, swiftly swinging.

It seemed as though it was about to slap her in the face.

Jiang Cai sighed and, after a long pause, said: "Prince Qin..."

She once thought Jiang Gao was already a benevolent and gentle ruler. When Prince Qin rose, he was Marquis Qin Wu; she saw the ambitious and brave Marquis Qin Wu, yet still believed Jiang Gao would surpass him.

No matter what, Marquis Qin Wu spent the first decade moving among the common people, in terms of imperial upbringing and means, in terms of legacy and strength, he was not equal to Jiang Gao.

But ten years later, upon seeing Prince Qin again.

Jiang Cai would not even compare him to Jiang Gao.

The question that arose in her heart was even between Jiang Wanxiang and Prince Qin: who was more powerful?

Jiang Cai returned to Ying Country, but this mission itself had already exposed Jiang Gao’s issues. He still clung to soft illusions of gentleness, hoping to lay down swords and reach peace another way.

He lacked the spirit of a bold hero during the chaotic times.

He did not understand that only swords grant peace.

Perhaps Jiang Gao still had the chance to grow, still had time and the future. Perhaps slowly teaching him and guiding him, Jiang Gao would reflect and awaken; people are like this, no one starts as a world-shaking hero, they must grow.

But chaotic times will not give people the chance to grow.

Jiang Su no longer had such leisure.

What he needed was not a benevolent and sagacious ruler someday in the future, but an emperor who would not interfere with his battlefield decisions now, a puppet, even if this puppet would bring grave harm to the entire Ying Country court, he no longer cared.

Jiang Su always saw things clearly.

Only by competing with Prince Qin can Ying Country have the right to speak of the future.

Clearly distinguishing which is lighter and heavier.

Grandmaster Jiang Su, with exclusive power and decisive control, took out the late Emperor Jiang Wanxiang’s mandate, abolished Crown Prince Jiang Gao, the master of the Eastern Palace, and chose Prince Jiang Yuan to ascend the throne as emperor, granting amnesty to the world, and declared the era name as—

[A Ye].

The world was astonished, and there were words that the world was divided, Ying Country proclaimed its emperor again, seemingly overshadowing Prince Qin by a measure.

Thus, when Jiang Yuan ascended the throne and broadcasted to the four corners.

Nan Hanwen presented memorials, expounding on the world’s grand affairs, the role of popular sentiment and reputation, critiqued current issues, and then respectfully stepped forward, his voice calm and laden with killing intent:

"For the sake of the world."

"To establish rightful legitimacy!"

"Please, Your Majesty, ascend the throne and proclaim yourself Emperor."
