The Great Zhou Emperor looked at Ning’an, with a smile on his face and full of encouragement in his eyes.
Things had come to this point, and Ning’an no longer acted pretentiously.
She walked up to the Emperor of the Great Zhou, knelt down on both knees, and respectfully received the imperial seal.
The moment Ning’an received the imperial seal, her identity underwent earth-shattering changes. The originally gentle and dignified princess now became the new emperor of the Great Zhou, shouldering the destiny of the entire country.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou looked at his beloved daughter in front of him, his eyes full of expectations, and said softly： “Ning’an, you must remember that although the imperial throne is heavy, what is more important is the well-being of the common people. You should govern the country with a benevolent heart and make the Great Zhou more prosperous and strong in your hands.」
Ning’an nodded solemnly. Although her voice was soft, it was full of determination： “Please rest assured, Father Emperor. Your daughter will definitely live up to Father Emperor’s expectations and will surely govern the Great Zhou to be peaceful and prosperous.」
”I’m looking forward to it！” The Emperor of the Great Zhou had a gratified smile on his face.
On the ground, the gazes of the soldiers were all focused on this new emperor at this moment.
Ning’an was wearing a dragon robe and a imperial crown, looking solemn and majestic.
Although her face was pure and innocent, at this moment, there was an added calmness and determination, as if she was already prepared to welcome this challenging new identity.
Ning’an slowly stood up, her gaze sweeping over every soldier on the ground, and her eyes shone with bright and firm light.
She took a deep breath and said in a clear and powerful voice： “Thanks to the trust of my father and the support of all of you. From today on, I, Ning’an, will no longer be a princess, but the new emperor of the Great Zhou. I will govern the country with a benevolent heart and make the Great Zhou more prosperous and strong in my hands.」
Ning’an’s voice echoed between heaven and earth, shocking the hearts of everyone present.
The Great Zhou Emperor shouted, “Why don’t you quickly pay homage to the new emperor?”
Hearing this, the soldiers kneeling on the ground: “Long live our emperor, long live, long live!”
The voice resounded through the sky and shook the earth.
Seeing this scene, everyone had a smile on their faces.
Especially Ye Qiu and Kong Tianxia.
Ye Qiu witnessed Ning’an change from a woman to a woman, and now he witnessed her change from a princess to the emperor of the Great Zhou. In just a short time, her growth was astonishing.
Moreover, soon her identity will change again and become the real master of Zhongzhou！
Seeing his confidante sitting above thousands of people, he was really proud.
As for Kong Tianxia, he had a look of joy on his face. Seeing his little junior sister become the emperor of the Great Zhou, as a senior brother, he was sincerely happy for Ning’an.
Ning’an looked into the distance, with a firm gaze.
She knew that all of this was the arrangement of her father and Ye Qiu.
From now on, she must use her wisdom and courage to lead the Great Zhou to a brighter future.
「All of you, rise！」 Ning’an said to the soldiers, and then asked the Great Zhou Emperor： 「Father Emperor, what should we do next？」
The Great Zhou Emperor smiled and said： 「Now that you are the emperor of the Great Zhou, you can decide what to do. There is no need to ask me.」
「It is the same now and will be the same in the future.」
「As the monarch of a country, you must have your own opinions. Especially for some major matters, you must make a decision without hesitation.」
「Of course, if you encounter some difficult things in the future, you can come to me or your great-grandfather to discuss. We will help you come up with ideas together.」
「As for the final decision, it still has to be made by you.」
When the Great Zhou Emperor said this, his voice became earnest and he encouraged： 「Ning’an, if you want to do something, do it with confidence and boldness. Don’t have any concerns. Behind you, there is me, there is Changsheng, there is your master and senior brother, and there is also your great-grandfather and a group of friends. We will always support you.」
「I understand.」 Ning’an took a deep breath and stood at the front of the bronze warship.
Looking in all directions.
Ning’an slowly said： 「Fellow soldiers, today we have jointly won this arduous and extraordinary battle. I am deeply gratified.」
「Your bravery, fearlessness, and unity are the keys to this victory.」
「Each and every one of you is the pride of the Great Zhou and a hero in my heart.」
「I deeply understand that war is both an honor and a huge sacrifice for you. You have left your hometowns, braved the danger of losing your lives, and charged forward bravely for the interests of the country and the nation. Every drop of your sweat, every effort you make, every drop of your blood, and every scar on your body are engraved on this land and also in my heart.」
「However, victory is only temporary. The road ahead is still full of challenges and difficulties. We cannot be complacent because of a momentary victory, let alone stop moving forward.」
「For tens of thousands of years, the three kingdoms in Zhongzhou have been constantly at war, resulting in a large number of common people being displaced and countless homes becoming ruins. Therefore, taking advantage of the momentum of the great victory at Hulaoguan, I want to conquer the world and unify Zhongzhou.」
「And you, the warriors of the Great Zhou, are the vanguard of my unification of Zhongzhou！」
「I believe that you have the ability and confidence to complete this mission.」
「You are the sharp swords of the Great Zhou and my arms. In the days to come, I will advance hand in hand with you and create eternal glory.」
After Ning’an finished speaking, the soldiers roared in unison.
「Long live！」
「Long live！」
「Long live！」
「……」
The sound shook the sky.
They were all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Ye Qiu and the emperor of the Great Zhou looked at each other and smiled.
Ning’an raised his hand and made a gesture for silence. In an instant, the soldiers stopped shouting, and the sound of a needle dropping could be heard throughout the field.
You are all the warriors of the Great Zhou. Youdaoplaceholder0 in the battle of Hulaoguan you were not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, which moved me ten thousand.
「I hereby announce that after the city wall of Hulaoguan is rebuilt, two monuments to merit and virtue will be erected outside the city wall.」
「One monument will record the names of all the soldiers who participated in the battle of Hulaoguan; the other monument will record the names of all the soldiers who sacrificed in this battle.」
「I want future generations to remember your names and take you as examples！」
As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers excitedly shouted in unison again.
「Long live！」
「Long live！」
「Long live！」
「……」
As soldiers, isn’t the greatest honor to defeat the enemy, defend the country, and then become an example？
Ning’an added： 「The merits of all of you in this great battle will be recorded in the merit book. After unifying Zhongzhou, I will reward you according to your merits.」
「Those who deserve to be promoted will be promoted, those who deserve to be ennobled will be ennobled, those who deserve to be made marquises will be made marquises…」
「In short, I will not forget the merit of each and every one of you！」
「At this time, we should have pursued the victory, but after thinking about it, I feel that we should stay in Hulaoguan for one night to see off those soldiers who sacrificed in the battle of Hulaoguan.」
「Tomorrow morning, the army will be divided into two routes, one to flatten the Great Wei, and the other to flatten the Great Qian.」
「Unify Zhongzhou！」
