Tang long made a bit of a calm move, and then continued: "I have received information that Wen China, which ranks 56th in the universe on our side, is preparing for an expansion war."

"according to intelligence, the situation in our region will change in a week's time, and we will take advantage of China's war and other countries have no time to take care of the opportunity to annex the five-nation alliance in one breath.

"although we don't care about the views of other countries, we still need an excuse, but it's up to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs to worry about how to make excuses afterwards."

"Yes!" The officers immediately stood up with excitement on their faces and shouted, and although the civil servant still wanted to say something, seeing the tone in which Tang long had made a decision, he had to sigh and put his mind on how to prepare for the war.

The five countries around Datang began to pay attention to Datang after Datang was completely unified without chaos, and when Datang annexed Silver Eagle and Wanluo, they regarded Datang as the main enemy and knew very well that Datang was powerful. They immediately abandoned their previous enemies and married each other to form a solid alliance.

Although the five countries came together and surrounded Datang, they dared not take the initiative to attack, because no one knew whether the five-nation alliance would be able to destroy Datang.

If not, it will give Datang an excuse to attack himself, so he just laid heavy troops at the border to spy on Datang.

However, after the news that Tang long was about to ascend the throne in Datang, the border guards of the five countries slackened a little bit, because in general, such a major event would not easily cause a big fight. After all, the emperor ascended the throne but asked for good luck, how could he see blood at this time?

As the days of Tang long's accession to the throne drew nearer and nearer, the armed forces of the five countries became more and more relaxed and began to prepare to send ceremonial missions. Even if you regard Datang as a mortal enemy, you should show the courtesy of being a neighbor before you tear your face apart.

However, just a week before Tang long's accession to the throne, when the five-nation delegation was ready to leave, news broke out around the neighborhood that China had invaded the surrounding countries on a large scale.

The news can scare the five countries. Wen China is one of the top 100 countries in the universe and the most powerful country in this region. Its own five-nation alliance is equal to a mouse versus a cat, only waiting to die.

Originally, these five countries wanted to surrender to Wen China on the condition of becoming a dependent country, but before this idea could be put into practice, the news came that Wen China had annexed the dependent country and designated the territory of the dependent country as its own country.

When they heard the news, the heads of state of the five countries immediately gave up their plans to surrender. Since they had reached the point where the fish's net was broken, what else should they consider?

However, even if there was no hope of victory, the five countries did not want to be captured like this, so they transferred most of the troops suppressed in Datang back to the other side of the border, and the delegation to Datang set out immediately. These delegations not only brought gifts of congratulations, but also brought the credentials of the alliance.

In the face of powerful enemies, the five countries spent a lot of money for this alliance. Each head of state was willing to marry his little princess to Tang long as his concubine, and he was even more willing to regard Tang long as the leader of the alliance. Datang's army could be stationed in the five countries. it can be said that the five countries have secretly acquiesced in that they have become an appendage of Datang.

Unfortunately, as soon as these envoys arrived in Datang, Datang's army had already pounced on the border of the five countries. If the envoys arrived in Datang ahead of time, Tang long, who learned that the five countries were willing to become dependent countries of Datang, would not send troops. Because Tang long has many ways to turn the vassal country into his own homeland, if it can be easily obtained, then why fight hard?

It was because the envoys were one step behind, and the defense goals of the five countries had shifted, and more importantly, no one thought that Datang would wage war when he was preparing for the throne ceremony for his monarch.

Because of all these reasons, there was no time for the five countries to make much reaction, and the army of the Tang Dynasty was already under the siege of the city.

Deluded and delayed by the Ministry of Intelligence for a long time, it was too late to retreat. The heads of the five countries surrounded by Datang Legion surround the capital star. Under Datang's guarantee of their family's personal and property safety, they obediently raised their hands and surrendered.

In other words, before Tang long ascended the throne, Datang annexed five countries, more than doubled its territory and became a medium-sized country.

Originally, the doubling of the territory of a country like Datang was enough to attract the attention of all forces in the universe, but now no one cares about Datang, a remote country. It will be like this, first, there is a top 100 article in the universe, China is wantonly attacking nearby countries, and second, the universe has begun a real struggle for great power hegemony.

We should know that in the past, although there were wars everywhere in the universe, these wars affected small and medium-sized countries, and the big countries did not burn themselves except to stabilize their own territory.

This time, however, the top 100 countries in the universe, including the first Wulai in the universe and the second dark empire in the universe, began a war of aggression aimed at engulfing the territories of all the countries around them.

It was not until this time that the universal war really broke out.

Therefore, apart from the countries near Datang who will come forward to condemn Datang's undeclared war, no one is interested in paying attention to Datang's situation at all.

On the other hand, after hearing the news that Datang had launched a war to annex the five Kingdoms without reason, the envoys of various countries who were on their way to the throne ceremony in Datang immediately made a U-turn and returned home on their own.

Of course, this is not always the case.

For example, the envoys of various countries controlled by the five major gangs still continue to march towards Datang. You know, when they went abroad, the head of state said: "unless the envoys are dead, otherwise, we must personally express our congratulations to Tang long." Such a strict order.

With this order, the envoy does not care whether Tang Longdao is righteous or not.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Datang, which had already found an excuse and was ready to explain to various countries, was surprised to find that apart from neighboring countries, no other country had come to condemn Datang's actions, so he could not help reporting this problem to Tang long immediately.

Tang long, who received the report, immediately ordered the two major intelligence agencies to inquire about the news.

When the little black cat saw that Tang long was nervous about the news regardless of the coming ceremony, she couldn't help asking, "Brother, you are going to ascend the throne in a few days, so why should you care about the reason?" Do you feel uncomfortable that others have not come to condemn us? "

"Oh, how could I be so abusive?" Tang long smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "I just wonder at the reaction of the countries in the universe. If you think about it, how would we react if we saw a country annexing the countries around it for no reason?"

"even if we cannot send troops to stop this act that obviously disturbs the stability of the universe, will we still condemn it? How could there be no response? "

"it's not unresponsive! Didn't the countries close to us condemn us? Moreover, they have all their troops at the border, and they are on standby to attack us at any time! "

"Oh, it's strange that those countries that stay near us don't react violently! You know, it's very dangerous to be an aggressive neighbor. " Tang long said with a smile.

The little black cat muttered disgruntled, "invading into a surname?" Do you say that about yourself? " But as soon as Tang long stared, the little black cat immediately pretended to be deceitful and said, "Hey, hey, big brother, when are we going to kill them?"

Tang long knocked the little black cat on the head and said with a smile, "it won't be long."

The day of Tang long's accession to the throne finally came, when Datang Capital Star became a world where laser images were scattered all over the sky and flowers spread all over the planet.

The members of the royal honor guard specially selected from the entire Datang local army, dressed in new military uniforms with a straight white background and gold on the edge, and carrying laser guns, looked proudly and solemnly arranged on a main road on the star of the capital.

No matter what its name was, the main road will be called the Imperial Road, which can only be used by members of the royal family.

The starting point of this imperial way is the villa where Tang long used to live, which is now known as the "hidden residence", while the end point is the Datang Palace, which has just completed acceptance and covers an extremely beautiful area.

The people who live near this imperial road have long been crowded near the imperial road with flowers, quietly waiting for their monarch to appear, but they can only enter the imperial road on a major festival.

On the other hand, people in other places can only see the appearance of the monarch and the grandeur of the ceremony through three-dimensional television.

Of course, these people, as well as the entire Capital Star, are bound to hide in the dark and watch out for spies and agents staring around.

As for the indispensable supporting role in the ceremony, the civil and military officials had been waiting in the square of the palace for a long time. Ordinary people can not appear in the square, can stand in the square, the lowest civil servant is a third-class Earl, the lowest military attache is a major, and other personnel can only stay in the office or barracks to watch.

The square where all the middle and upper-level officials of Datang gathered was, of course, heavily guarded, otherwise they would have been kicked, and Datang would have been finished immediately.

Heavily armed and wrapped like a heavier robot, the Royal Mecha Legion surrounded the entire palace so tightly that even a mosquito could not enter the palace boundary with their presence.

And the royal fleet suspended in the atmosphere surrounded the capital with stars, and even a meteor with a fist could not escape their surveillance.

Within a few light years with the Capital Star as the center, there are countless mobile armed satellites and patrol warships, and any suspicious targets will be subject to the strictest inspection, knowing that the Datang military will never allow any accidents to disturb their supreme commander's accession to the throne.

In a prime time when it is the best no matter how it is calculated, the music starts.

Tang long, dressed in a red cloak and a decent black imperial costume, was surrounded by a group of royal guards dressed in black military uniforms, with black cats, Xing Zero, Tang Xing, Una and some of the highest levels of Datang, as well as a group of the first to follow their subordinates, boarded a car specially prepared for the emperor and drove slowly towards the palace under the guidance of the guard car.

According to the usual practice, he was the only one in Tang long's car, but Tang long refused to stay in the car alone. After a group of old courtiers failed to dissuade him, there were three closest people in Tang long's car, namely, little black cat, Tang Xing and Xing Zero.

As for others, those old courtiers of family and imperial origins would never let them go up there, such as the godsister who wanted to be close to Tang long, so she had to stay in other cars and sulk.

"Brother, why are you so depressed? Today is a festive day! " When the little black cat saw Tang long's straight face, she couldn't help asking.

"well, when I received the news from the intelligence department, I couldn't be happy. Take a look at it, too!" Tang long said to take out a magnetic card, the little black cat grabbed a click, a virtual screen appeared in front of everyone, but after reading the first few paragraphs, Tang Xing, Xing Zero originally smiled Mimi's face also became solemn.

According to the data, the hundreds of great powers in the universe have all begun to gobble up the surrounding countries frantically.

Among them, the most severe annexation is the Wulai State, the first power in the universe, and the Dark Night Empire, the second power in the universe. They have almost swallowed up all the countries they can come into contact with.

The rate of annexation is faster than that of Datang's annexation of the five kingdoms. Although it is beginning to slow down the rate of external annexation, it is obviously in the stage of digestion, and when they are digested, the rate of annexation will certainly be faster.

Right behind them are the Moon Empire, the Blue Ice Empire and the Wind Empire, which have become the third, fourth and fifth powers.

The rate of annexation of these three empires was no less than that of the previous two countries, and they also annexed the neighboring countries very quickly.

Although from the intelligence point of view, these five countries are located in the south and north, there is no connection at all, but from the direction of their expansion, if the five countries do not move in the same direction, it will not take long at the speed of their annexation. I am afraid there will be a dragon-tiger struggle at the border of the five countries.

Seeing this, the little black cat could not help laughing and said, "Brother, what is there to worry about?" These five countries are all under the control of Tang Jin. Didn't they announce the alliance only after the borders were linked together, as you told them to do? "

Tang long shook his head: "I am not worried about them. If you look at the information behind, do you mention that there are signs of fighting in countries near the Kingdom of Wei?"

The little black cat was stupefied for a moment, took a quick glance at the data, and said with a little doubt, "Yes, the whole universe is jingling, and the country where Shenwei is located, including the country near him, is calm, even if there is. It is also the neighboring countries that block the invasion of other countries.

"Hmm? These countries have not become the borders of the divine kingdom, have they? Let me see which countries near there have waged a war to stop the invasion of foreign enemies. "

After pondering for a moment, the little black cat immediately created a map of the galaxy and said, "according to the intelligence collected, the countries from here to here have resisted the invasion of neighboring countries, while the Kingdom of Wei is in the central position, if there is no accident." these places are all under the control of Wei. "

Seeing the galaxy map, Tang long and Xing Zero and Tang Xing were surprised, and Tang Xing exclaimed, "Oh, my God!" If these countries are controlled by the Empire, the territory of the Empire will already exceed that of Wulai after the annexation of so many countries, and it can be said to be the truly largest country in the universe! "

"Oh, this divine kingdom is very mysterious! I can't believe you've become so strong without anyone knowing. " Tang long sighed.

"by the way, didn't your classmates go to the Kingdom of Wei Sheng? Is she in danger? " Star Zero suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"there should be no danger! After all, she's just going to do academic research, but will her robot status cause her trouble? " Tang long said a little worried.

Tang Xing glanced at Tang long and said, "Don't worry, when she left, I sent someone to replace a biochemical body for her, and now she is just like a human being."

"Oh, that's great." As soon as Tang long smiled, Xing Zero leaned forward and asked, "are you very happy now?"

Tang long nodded unconsciously: "Yes!" I. " Seeing Xing Zero and Tang Xing grimacing, they couldn't help shaking their heads: "No, I."

Before he had finished, he was blocked by Tang Xing: "what?" You're not happy with us, are you? " Hearing this, Tang long, of course, immediately defended: "No, I …". "

When the little black cat saw Tang long muttering that she didn't know what to say, she shook her head, curled her mouth and said, "flirt!" With that, he found a place to curl up and rest.

After a long time in the tedious and solemn ceremony of ascending the throne, Tang long finally put on the crown symbolized by the emperor. It's just that the crown was thrown aside after Tang long accepted the cheers of his subjects and entered the palace.

Tang long, who doesn't even wear an army cap, doesn't want to have a metal ring on his head! No wonder you don't throw it.

The military and political ministers of Datang quietly followed his Majesty, entered the palace and came to the discussion hall, which represented the supreme ruling institution of Datang.

According to the civil and military arrangement on both sides, in the face of Tang long, who sat on the throne, the military and political ministers were excited, because the next thing was to seal the official and knighthood.

But although they were excited, they also realized that not everyone would be promoted, because Datang's merit system was so strict that they could not improve their status without corresponding exploits.

Tang long took a look at the meritorious service system, and his subordinates could not be promoted at all. Tang long, who did not want to arbitrarily promote his subordinates in violation of the meritorious service system, and did not want to sit in silence the first time he sat on the throne, suddenly came up with a good idea.

He issued the first order after becoming emperor: "appoint Tang Xing as director of foreign affairs and take charge of all external affairs; appoint Xing Zero as director of internal affairs and lead some internal affairs."

The courtiers were immediately surprised, because the two chiefs were extremely powerful, knowing that the combined power of the two chiefs was completely equal to that of Tang long. However, although the courtiers were surprised, they did not object, because Tang Xing and Xing Zero were the closest people to his Majesty and it was impossible to betray his Majesty.

When Tang Xing and Xing Zero heard that Tang long had handed him such an important position, after being stupefied for a moment, they all stared at Tang long with watery eyes. Although they had been helping him and could get in touch with any affairs, they had no due status all the time. Now Tang long does so, it can be said to give them a status below one person and above ten thousand people.

However, they do not care much about this status. what they care about is that Tang long has given himself an exact position in the Datang Group.

"our top priority now is to determine Datang's own currency."

Tang long said that the ministers nodded unceasingly, used to use Wulai coins, although Wulai coins are the most circulating, but in any case, there is still a need for the emergence of domestic currency.

"Lord, in accordance with your wishes, the Ministry of Finance and the Universe Bank have made a plan after discussion and calculation. There are two options for the exchange of the new Datang coin: one big Tang coin is exchanged for one hundred yuan Wulai coins; the other is contrary to the first one, that is, one hundred yuan Tang coins are exchanged for one yuan Wulai coins.

"however, the Universe Bank suggests that we choose the first one, because our country has a large stock of Wulai coins, and our country is rich in materials, economically developed, and …." Una hesitated for a moment, then added: "and our territory is small, so the big Tang coin can have a very high value."

Tang long frowned, and the following ministers frowned incessantly. What was the Universe Bank doing? even the ratio of one to one and one to one was so great that there was such an incredible disparity.

This is not a question of whether the value of Datang currency is worthless. If Datang coins are issued according to these two proportions, you do not have to think about it and understand that it will be bad luck in Datang.

At a ratio of one to a hundred, people would not want to trade with Datang at such a loss. Datang's coins are useless.

On the other hand, if it is 100 to 1, the goods and labor of Datang can be easily plundered, and only idiots will be issued in this proportion.

"the Universe Bank thinks we are easy to bully, isn't it?" Tang long frowned and asked.

"Yes, the Universe Bank looks down on us, Datang." Una said honestly.

"Damn it, didn't you say that the customer is God? How dare this cosmic bank be so arrogant? Huh! No matter what cosmic bank it is, let's do it according to our own rules. Datang coins are equal to Wulai coins! " Tang long hummed coldly.

"Yes, my lord."

Una hurriedly sent the order out, and the Mint had printed the coins a long time ago, waiting for circulation!

"well, now we are beginning to confirm our goal. Everyone knows that our goal is to unify the whole universe, and the current goal is to make China, a powerful country with wind and rain, in this region. We must kill it as soon as possible and unify this region!" Tang long stood up and said bravely.

"I beg your Majesty's command!" All the courtiers said in unison.

In places unknown to Tang long, the courtiers have different names for Tang long according to their status and their close relationship with Tang long, the most powerful of which are the two chief officers who directly call Tang long by his first name, and then there is the little black cat, who calls Tang long the eldest brother, both of which are unique.

Then came the super courtiers of the Datang Empire, who called Tang long the master. These were the senior figures of the Tang Dynasty and the retainers of the Tang Longqi family.

Then there was the person who called Tang long an officer, which was one of the few former Wanluo Union soldiers who first followed Tang long; and finally, Tang long was called his Majesty's ordinary officials and people of the Tang Dynasty.

While Tang long and his subordinates were engaged in military and political affairs, the distant Night Imperial Palace, the Night Emperor with the identity of Tang Mu, summoned his prime minister.

"Prime Minister, how is the plan going?" The night emperor tasted the wine with ease and asked.

The Prime Minister, who stood up and bowed his head, said respectfully, "your Majesty, the plan is going well, and the swordsmen who persuaded the four allies have done their job."

"well, do you think our four allies will find something strange?" Asked the Emperor of the Night.

The Prime Minister hurriedly said, "No, the micro minister did not directly win over the swordsmen, but only let the swordsmen's cronies and family members preach the role of power to the swordsmen, so the swordsmen persuaded their allies by their own will."

"if you don't know that we exist, anyone who sees the performance of these swordsmen will think that they want their boss to go further, and that they can go further and will not doubt anything else."

"among these swordsmen, will there be careerists who take the position of their superiors and replace them?"

"there will certainly be, but our four major allies are not compatible with each other, and those careerists will soon be exposed. after all, there is a big difference between careerists who pursue the highest position and subjects who pursue power."

The prime minister was a little careful to defend himself, because recently there were a lot of rumors about his unwillingness to be his courtiers in Yanjing, and he believed that the Emperor of the Night could understand his excuse.

The night emperor, holding a wine cup, glanced at the prime minister and said in a flat tone, "well, as long as you are loyal and diligent to me, you will be rich and prosperous."

On hearing this, the Prime Minister kowtowed and knelt with gratitude, and he was finally reassured by the assurance of the Night Emperor, knowing that he was frightened these days, especially when he was summoned to the palace.

"where are our domestic swordsmen? Why didn't I see it? " The Emperor of the Night said, "if all the allies have swordsmen to persuade us to advance, and we don't have it here, maybe the allies will suspect it!"

"Yes, this is Wei Chen's dereliction of duty. Wei Chen will take care of it."

The prime minister was scared on the surface, but he felt bitter in his heart. Please, those four allies are not emperors, but only serve as presidents, prime ministers, prime ministers, generals and other positions. Of course, they need to be persuaded to become emperors.

But you are the emperor, how can you persuade him to enter? Is it advising you to go further to become a divine emperor? That's not taboo! It's all right. I don't have enough heads to cut off.

Maybe the Emperor of the Night realized this, too, so he immediately changed the subject without advice: "how long will it take us to connect with our allies?"

After thinking about it, the Prime Minister said: "at our current speed, and there are no surprises, I believe that in two months, the borders of our five powers will be connected, and then the covenant can be announced to the public."

"Hey, hey, covenant, we've got a lot of benefits from this covenant!" The Emperor of the Dark Night smiled.

"Yes, I'm afraid we in the Night Empire alone would not have been able to annex so many territories so easily." The Prime Minister of China was careful to cater. If the Emperor of the Night had not spoken first, he would not have said it.

Who knows if the emperor will be exasperated because his country cannot gobble up the neighboring countries alone.

"well, the plan of division will be implemented immediately after the announcement of the covenant. as long as one of our five countries has evil intentions, the other four will enter a wait-and-see state. if there are a few more unsuccessful assassinations, then mutual suspicion will be a foregone conclusion, and then it will be time for us to fish in troubled waters." The Emperor of the Dark Night smiled.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Cheng said, "it's just that there is a Tang long on top of them. as long as Tang long comes forward, the four will certainly let bygones be bygones."

The Emperor of the Dark Night said proudly, "Oh, where can Tang long be so proud? at that time, there will be some signs that Tang long launched the assassination of them, and at the same time, there are some signs that they sent someone to assassinate Tang long and let them guard against each other." that's all right?

"I don't believe that they have been instilled with a sense of self-reliance for so long. After being abandoned by their masters, they will still revolve around their masters. They will definitely take care of themselves!"

"Yes, your Majesty is wise."

Although Zhong Cheng did not approve of it, he would not say anything discouraging in the interest of the emperor, but only focus on the details when he was ready to carry out the task in mind, so as to avoid problems on some minor problems.

The night emperor suddenly remembered something and said, "by the way, what's going on in the kingdom of Wei Sheng?"

"there was no movement, and the region where the kingdom of Wei was located was calm." The prime minister said.

"is it calm? Impossible, the State of Wei Sheng is no ordinary country. According to their habits, the nearby countries may have been annexed by the Kingdom of Wei Shen long ago.

"you should strengthen monitoring. I think this divine kingdom is a strong enemy of our country! You must not relax! " The night emperor said solemnly.

Hearing that the Night Emperor even said the title "I", the Prime Minister hurriedly said that he would strengthen his efforts. After the two ministers discussed some important issues, the Prime Minister left the palace.

When the prime minister left the palace, when he saw the jealous eyes of the ministers, he couldn't help sneering: "well, I just went on a mission for a long time, so you think I'm out of favor?" Laozi's family is still there! Want to fight for my seat? Leave it to dry! "

Tang long's accession to the throne ceremony came to an end with the cheers of all the people, but except for the excitement of the people of Datang and the fear of neighboring countries, people of other countries did not care about this founding king in his twenties at all. In their view, what's the big deal if a small punk in a remote area is dominating? It's not worth paying attention to.

(to be continued)
