Chapter 276 National Destiny, Heavenly Palace
Time flies.
Ten years have passed.
As the great generals of the Heavenly Kingdom led their armies on expeditions, one after another, the thirteen provinces of the former Han Dynasty were brought under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Kingdom.
Zhang Jiao felt that the nation's fortune was growing stronger day by day, and that the nation's destiny was converging, with golden light enveloping the palace.
The newly added divine generals are Ma Chao of Xiliang, Pang De, Zhou Yu, Gan Ning of Jinfan, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin.
Other notable figures include Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Hua Xiong, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, Wen Pin, Wei Yan, Zhang He, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Zhang Xiu, and Sun Ce.
With the addition of these new generals, along with a continuous stream of new talents, the situation has improved.
The Kingdom of Heaven is now teeming with talented individuals and is constantly expanding its territory.
As for those who refuse to submit, then wipe them out one by one.
With a brilliant general and two strategists, what place can't be conquered?
Look at the strength of these generals; they can conquer a city single-handedly.
In the third year of the expedition, the Western Qiang were destroyed, and their territory was taken over.
Following the destruction of the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Sudian, Taishi Ci led a large army to cooperate with Zhou Yu and Gan Ning's navy to destroy Goguryeo.
Finally, ordered to attack the small island in Japan, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu offered a series of brilliant plans.
They wiped out all the Japanese devils above.
In Goguryeo and on the small islands of Japan, all the women were given to the soldiers as welfare rewards.
In the same year, Lü Bu led a large army to conquer the Xiongnu. The three armies marched straight into the Xiongnu royal court, capturing the Xiongnu royal family and the leaders of various tribes.
The Xiongnu were completely wiped out and incorporated into the territory of the Heavenly Kingdom.
Immediately afterwards, good news arrived.
Zhao Yun and Ma Chao's allied forces conquered the Western Regions, recaptured the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and led their troops into the Yuezhi Kingdom.
The Yuezhi queen was captured and, along with a group of beautiful women from the Western Regions and other exotic tribes, was sent back to Luoyang, the capital, to be presented to His Majesty the Heavenly God.
As one territory after another came under the control of the Heavenly Kingdom.
Zhang Jiao clearly sensed the gathering of the heavenly realm's fortunes and the prosperity of the nation.
Boom~~
On this day, a large beam of golden light suddenly fell from the sky.
Merit descends from heaven, and auspicious omens abound.
Countless flowers rained down, and golden light enveloped the entire palace.
For a time, countless people were shocked to see the palace rise from the ground.
"what?"
Inside the palace, Zhang Jiao watched in astonishment as vast amounts of merit and fortune rained down from the sky.
The entire palace was raised from the ground, transforming into a cluster of celestial palaces floating in mid-air.
He was bathed in a great deal of merit and good fortune, with golden light shining behind his head, and rings of merit surrounding him, forming golden halos.
A large purple sun in the center radiates a noble light.
His aura was changing, his strength was constantly being refined and improved, and his primordial spirit and body were greatly enhanced.
Not only him, but countless people under the rule of the Kingdom of Heaven were bathed in golden light, free from illness and disaster, and all their ailments disappeared.
All the civil and military officials were bathed in a golden light, and the celestial maidens and beauties of the harem were all enhanced by the golden light.
The entire imperial city was shrouded in auspiciousness.
Soon after, as the golden light dissipated, a celestial palace took shape.
This was given to him by the Heavenly Dao, who directly created a cluster of celestial palaces for him.
It floated above Luoyang City, supported by auspicious clouds below. Below the palace, a cloud ladder slowly extended to the original palace.
A whopping 999 steps on the cloud ladder are truly awe-inspiring.
The palace halls became even more spacious and magnificent.
From now on, officials will have to climb up the cloud ladder step by step to attend court.
"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, pay our respects!"
"Long live your majesty!"
In the main hall, Zhang Jiao's figure slowly descended and sat on the supreme throne.
At a glance, civil and military officials were lined up on both sides below.
On the heavenly palace, groups of heavenly soldiers are patrolling and guarding.
A heavenly gate stood in front of the Heavenly Palace's cloud ladder.
Only by entering the Heavenly Gate can one enter the Heavenly Palace.
This place is like a magnificent palace in the heavens.
Zhang Jiao understood what was going on in an instant.
It was because the territory of Heaven was constantly expanding that the various gods and celestial officials worked hard to build a powerful earthly Heaven.
After its power expanded, the people of the world lived in peace and prosperity, which greatly enhanced the Heavenly Way.
Therefore, Heaven bestows merit and good fortune as a reward.
"My lords, ten years of hard work have been rewarded by Heaven. I hope you will continue your efforts and create even greater glories."
Zhang Jiao smiled and explained the reason for this change.
It's about telling them that if they do well, Heaven will reward them.
"We, your subjects, will give our lives, even unto death!"
All the civil and military officials knelt down in high spirits.
This is the most obvious benefit: you get a reward if you do well.
If you don't perform well, you'll be punished, or even removed from office and replaced by someone more capable.
Therefore, over the past ten years, all the civil and military officials in the court have been working tirelessly and relentlessly.
If you can't kill them, then roll them as hard as you can.
So as not to be eliminated.
Who would want to go down here, where they could live forever?
"Prime Minister, your cabinet should do a good job in logistics. The success or failure of the Heavenly Kingdom's wars and expansions will depend on your efforts."
Zhang Jiao conveyed the next objective.
It expanded outwards, eventually bringing the entire world under its control.
"My lord, I obey your order!"
Everyone saluted excitedly, eager to get started on their business.
Following His Majesty the God of Heaven not only grants you a government job and the privilege of longevity and eternal youth, but also allows you to gradually gain the approval of Heaven.
Such a good thing should not be given to others.
We have to roll it as hard as we can!
The Kingdom of Heaven is in turmoil from within.
This is the result Zhang Jiao wanted: the benefits have been given, and how much you can get depends on your own efforts.
It must be said, the way of Heaven in this world is truly wonderful.
He didn't even need to reward his ministers; he simply skipped the whole process.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully completing your cameo role. Would you like to return?]
Just then, the system indicated that the task was completed.
Zhang Jiao rejected it outright.
I won't go back for now; there are still many things to do.
And the second round of draft picks has only just ended.
Buzz~!
In the backyard of the Heavenly Palace, beams of light flickered.
One after another, beautiful women appeared in the Heavenly Palace.
The second round of draft picks has ended.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
In front of him were Zhen Mi, Bu Lianshi, Sun Shangxiang, Zhu Rongshi, the fire god of the Southern Barbarians, and two beautiful young women he had never seen before.
Just as he was speaking, countless golden rays suddenly shone forth.
"Cry~~"
The phoenix sings in the heavens, and auspicious omens descend from the sky.
Everyone stared in astonishment at the sky, where phoenixes circled and danced.
"Has someone obtained the position of Empress?"
He stared in astonishment at the golden light enveloping the sky.
There was a hazy, beautiful figure bathed in golden light, surrounded by two phoenixes.
This signifies that she has become a superstar.
The challenges he set for the Queen of Heaven are not easy.
For ten years, no one has been able to ascend to the position of Queen of Heaven.
It's clearly about letting them learn and grow on their own, and then gradually climb to this position through their own efforts.
Surprisingly, someone actually succeeded.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible; the difficulty he set is almost impossible for anyone to complete.
It was just meant to be a thought-provoking idea; I never intended for her to be made empress.
But to my utter surprise, someone actually managed to complete something this difficult.
"who is it?"
Diao Chan, Bian Shi, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, and other imperial concubines all looked incredulous.
They tried again and again, but all their efforts failed.
But now someone has actually succeeded.
"Is it Zhao Ji?"
With a gasp, Diao Chan was both surprised and delighted.
Somewhat surprisingly, Cai Yan succeeded.
"Cai Yan?"
To be honest, he was somewhat surprised.
Cai Yan actually managed to break through the encirclement, overcome countless difficulties, and actually ascended to the prestigious position of Empress.
Over the past ten years, besides being there for him, she has been learning and growing every moment, getting back up after each failure.
Then we continued the challenge, and today, ten years of hard work have finally paid off.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects."
Cai Yan, adorned in a noble phoenix robe and wearing a phoenix crown and embroidered shawl, exuded an aura of unparalleled nobility, befitting an empress.
"No need for formalities. Congratulations on becoming my Empress of Heaven."
Su Ming smiled slightly and embraced Cai Yan, offering a silent expression of admiration.
It's unclear how much this talented woman sacrificed to achieve her success.
Because no one should have succeeded, but she did.
"Congratulations on the return of the Queen!"
Below, Diao Chan, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Zhen Ji, and other celestial concubines and maidens knelt down to offer their congratulations.
When the diva appeared, they naturally had to pay their respects.
"Sisters, please rise, no need for formalities."
Cai Yan smiled gently and raised her hand in greeting, her every move exuding the air of an empress.
"I am overjoyed that the Empress has returned to her throne."
"A general amnesty is granted, and all taxes on the people are abolished."
"Also, there will be no court this month."
With a wave of his hand, he directly conveyed the instruction.
He did not attend court for a month.
What a terrible tyrant!
