After his death, Yun Zhonghe once again conferred Ji Sheng as the prince of the Empire in the name of the dictatorship of the Empire.

And named the third battleship of the empire the Holy King.

This decision was opposed by many people. Many people think that Ji Sheng was just the former ruling prince, and the prince who was posthumously conferred no comparison with Yan Xinzong and Yun Zhonghe.

But Yun Zhonghe was still very determined and directly wrote the inscription and named it.

There was no need to pay attention to it. At that time, there was a battleship in Germany named the Pesme, although it was already the second period of World War II, and there was no emperor.

……………………………………

Three months later!

This 39-kilometer-long canal was finally successfully dug.

As the dictator of the empire, Yun Zhonghe officially announced that the canal project was completed.

The third battleship of the empire, the Holy King, became the first ship to cross the canal, and then Yun Zhonghe personally scattered Prince Ji Sheng's ashes in the canal.

In addition, this canal was named the Holy King Canal, and the city beside the canal was also renamed the Holy King City.

The entire project lasted for five and a half years.

A total of three million people were mobilized, and there were already three urban agglomerations on both sides of the canal.

This place has become a province of the empire, with more than a few million people coming here to settle, and the second naval commander of the empire was also built here.

Not only that, the three universities are about to be completed.

During the eight years that Yun Zhonghe served as the dictator, the territory of the empire has expanded by more than six times.

………………………………

After the Holy King Canal was opened, the passage from the new Great Yan Empire to the Great Xian Demon Kingdom was officially opened.

The Eastern Expedition can begin!

At this moment, the giants of the Imperial Cabinet and the Privy Council began a brand new discussion.

Because there are a lot of calls in the empire.

I want Yun Zhonghe to be the emperor.

Because there have always been emperors in the imperial system, that is, Yan Xinzong, but the throne is vacant for more than a thousand years. In everyone's opinion, the achievements of the dictator king are no less than that of Yan Xinzong, and they are even more awesome. Therefore, it is completely natural for him to be emperor.

Moreover, the eastward expedition is about to begin war with the Great Xian Demon Kingdom.

If the enemy has an emperor, but the Great Yan Empire does not have an emperor, wouldn’t it be inferior?

The words of the dictator king are considered human, but the words of the emperor have the meaning of divine authority.

If the emperor is the supreme leader of the empire, then in the future war, perhaps God will also have an army to protect the empire.

This sounds a bit superstitious, and the new Great Yan Empire has always denied superstitiousness as the backward and decadent thoughts of the East. However, what we have to face next is a world-class war, a war involving life and death, and no one is not superstitious.

This trend of becoming emperor is getting bigger and bigger, and in the end the cabinet and the Privy Council cannot resist it.

Finally, at a meeting one day, the officials from the Cabinet and the Privy Council suddenly knelt down and persuaded Yun Zhonghe to become emperor.

No matter what they think, they cannot stop Yun Zhonghe's trend of becoming emperor, and they also love and admire Yun Zhonghe in their hearts. The reason why they are nervous is that they are afraid that once they become emperor, what should the future descendants of the emperor be unworthy? Wouldn't it be dangerous to lose their country?

Yun Zhonghe was silent for a moment.

Then he said: "In the Eastern world, it is a sacred thing to be called emperor, and it requires three persuasions and three remarks. But we are all old friends, so I will go straight and stop playing with it."

"First of all, once you become emperor, it will inevitably be hereditary system. I did it myself, but I do not guarantee that my descendants will be wise, and a foolish emperor will have a great lethality."

"Secondly, whether I want to be emperor cannot depend on my personal will, but on the interests of the empire. If the empire needs me to be emperor, then I will be emperor. But now it seems that the empire has little demand for me to be emperor."

"Finally, even if you want to be emperor in the future, you will still become a Void King. The emperor is the supreme leader of the empire, but he is more of a spiritual leader, and he cannot truly be arbitrary and have the power alone."

"That's all I say, let's continue to discuss the matter."

The ministers still couldn't get up.

Yun Zhonghe said bluntly: "I will never be called emperor now. Whether I want to be called emperor in the future depends on the needs of the empire, but it is definitely not now."

At this moment, the ministers stood up and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yun Zhonghe said: "The biggest thing now is to set the day of the Eastern Expedition. The old saying goes, everything is ready, only the east wind is not needed. Now that the Holy King Canal has been opened, our fleet has been upgraded and transformed, the empire's legions have been upgraded, and the Black Flame Empire is unlikely to have rebellion, and various colonies have become the land of the empire. Everything is ready, we can go east and destroy the Great Xian Demon Kingdom. Although I am eager to return, I still have to set a date."

Next, the Cabinet and the Privy Council began to discuss the date of the expedition.

One hour later!

The date of departure has been set.

On the ninth day of the ninth month, the imperial army set out to fight.

This day has finally arrived!
