General Hu led the greetings, and those below followed suit. The military and civilian officials beneath all paid their respects.
“Counsellor.”
“Counsellor.”
Yin Nanyu did not pretend, but simply nodded to accept their respect. “Your Highness, the meeting can begin now.”
Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Song Heqing caressed his beard and reminded with a smile.
Zhao Huai was taken aback for a moment and only after seeing the hopeful eyes looking at him from below, waiting for him to speak, did he realize.
He noticed that his current position was different from the past, and that his every word and action were being watched.
But he had a lot to say and didn’t know where to start.
Being a leader for the first time, he wasn’t quite used to it.
Zhao Huai pondered for a moment and slowly said, “With all of you here, Yan Country is bound to thrive. The restoration of the country is only a matter of time. From now on, I will have to rely a lot on you all.”
After he finished speaking, Zhao Huai stopped and rubbed his head awkwardly.
The atmosphere was so awkwvard that it was extremely cringeworthy.
However, the people under him looked very excited, obviously having taken in what he said.
“In other words, Yan Country now has the ability to rebel. The restoration of the country is just around the corner. Xia Country is nothing but a sick tiger, destined to perish sooner or later.” Yin Nanyu explained.
The military and civilian officials below all nodded in agreement. Even Hu Yunjiao and Song Heqing exchanged glances full of approval. “Exactly, that’s right. The counsellor is correct. ”
Zhao Huai signaled Yin Nanyu with encouraging eyes to continue.
With the unanimous approval of everyone, a faint smile crossed Yin Nanyu’s lips.
She was adept at boosting morale.
Her expression becoming solemn, she said, “Right now, Xia Country is being invaded by the Northern Alien Races and has lost the initiative. As long as we launch an expedition, we can take advantage of this situation and occupy the entire south. At that time, Xia Country will want to deal with us, but it will be too weak to do so.”
“In other words, now is the best time for a rebellion. Once the Royal Crown Prince releases the news of the restoration of Yan Country, many aristocratic families will surely come to join us.”
“However, we need a reason for our expedition, and the first step is for Your Highness to establish your banner and accept the coronation ceremony, indicating where the legitimate authority of Yan lies.”
“Today is a good time, and could be the day of the coronation.”
“After the restoration of Yan Country, you generals will undoubtedly retain your positions as marquis, and you scholars will surely be recorded in history.” Everyone listened to her each and every word extremely attentively.
Especially the last sentence about retaining the marquis positions and being recorded in history.
This energized everyone greatly, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
They were originally soldiers of Yan Country.
But once the country fell, they were left homeless and wandering. After three years, they had almost lost hope.
But to their surprise, not only was the Crown Prince not dead, but he also had come back with extraordinary ambitions.
The Crown Prince was going to lead them to restore the former glory of Yan Country!
Zhao Huai was also amazed at Yin Nanyu’s eloquence. She saved him a lot of trouble.
And achieved much better results.
After listening to Yin Nanyu’s words, Hu Yunjiao nodded his head in satisfaction.
“Miss Yin is right. The coronation day should be today.”
Song Heqing thought about it and felt that Yin Nanyu’s idea was good.
There really should be a coronation ceremony.
Even if it’s simple, it’s essential.
This is Xia Country’s first step in showing itself to the world.
Hu Yunjiao and Song Heqing exchanged glances.
Hu Yunjiao picked up his tea cup and said loudly, “The sooner we choose a day for the coronation, the better. Today is very suitable. What do you think, Your
Highness?”
Zhao Huai looked at everyone present and thought silently.
Could he really refuse?
“Alright then, given the special circumstances, let’s keep it simple.”
“Understood.”
Hu Yunjiao bowed his head in response, then poured tea into his cup and said to Zhao Huai:
“A toast to the Crown Prince!”
The soldiers and scholars below followed suit, toasting and shouting:
“A toast to the Crown Prince! ”
“A toast to the Crown Prince!”
Song Heqing, however, changed his words to: “May the Royal Crown Prince live for a thousand years!”
“May the Royal Crown Prince live for a thousand years!” “May the Royal Crown Prince live for a thousand years!”
Everyone then drank the tea in their cups.
Zhao Huai was moved as he watched this grand scene, and the blood in his body seemed to be mysteriously stirred.
He was moved by the people below.
Therefore, he kept a straight face, looked serious, and voiced in a solemn manner, “Long live Yan Country.” “Long live Yan Country!”
“Long live Yan Country!”
Everyone below joined in.
At this moment, Zhao Huai distinctly saw a hint of golden mist rising from everyone’s faces.
This war was bound to be victorious.
He took a deep breath and slowly said, “General Hu, you’ll have a lot of hard work to do in the future. Mobilize the troops now.”
Finally, with a sharp look in his eyes, Hu Yunjiao stood up and took the lead.
“Deliver my military order, mobilize the troops now!”
