proclaim oneself emperor.
When Lin Han asked this question, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
It is a very taboo question, but also a very realistic question.
If the Han loses its power, the whole world will be conquered.
"It is not a bad idea for my lord to become emperor." Bai Qi spoke expressionlessly, but his tone was very firm.
"That's right." Li Jing said.
The other generals nodded one after another. As generals, they knew very well that the territory they had today was won by fighting through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
This process is a life-or-death experience.
Countless soldiers fell under his feet before stability was established in Yangzhou.
"If the lord proclaims himself emperor, that would be enough, but we must consider the public opinion," Tian Feng said.
"What are you worried about? Without you, Yangzhou would be like other prefectures and counties, and there would be no peace and stability. If you become emperor, the people of Yangzhou will surely support you."
As a once rebellious dandy, Gan Ning wholeheartedly supported his lord's claim to the throne. In his eyes, the Han Dynasty had long been rotten and needed a new leader.
The generals knew the hardships of war and conquest, and since they had conquered the current territory, they naturally firmly believed that Lin Han was qualified to be emperor.
Among his advisers, Jia Xu's position was unquestionable. Even the Han Emperor died at his hands. Lin Han didn't even need to ask for his opinion because he knew his position.
This secret letter informing him to come back is the greatest gesture.
Xun Yu was the most conflicted person because he was taught since childhood to be loyal to the Han Dynasty and that the world belonged to the Liu family.
The current emperor died suddenly, leaving the Han territory without a master and the world open to dispute.
When he was struggling, his reason seemed to overcome his emotion, and he finally said: "With the imperial seal in hand and your prestige, there is nothing wrong with becoming emperor, but now is not the right time to do so."
"Why?" Yue Fei asked without Lin Han having to speak.
"With our strength, we can conquer the world, but the price is too high. If you declare yourself emperor now, you will be the target of public criticism, and the road to unification will be even more costly. You can declare yourself emperor, but you can hold off on that for now."
Everyone looked at Xun Yu, anticipating his next thoughts. Seeing this, Xun Yu didn't act pretentiously. Having accepted this fact, he no longer hesitated.
"Nowadays, the princes are vying for supremacy, each believing they can conquer the land. They attack each other, weakening each other. Your lord is the strongest. If you declare yourself emperor, it will inevitably trigger a joint attack from the other princes. The road to unification will become even more difficult, and the casualties among your soldiers will be even greater.
Why not wait for the princes to attack each other while we gather our strength, seize a city today, a county tomorrow, and by the time the princes wake up, we will have already conquered the world with our overwhelming force."
Everyone turned their eyes to Lin Han.
"Fengxiao, what do you think?" Lin Han looked at Guo Jia.
"This..." Guo Jia didn't expect Lin Han to ask him this. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with my lord becoming emperor. But Wen Ruo is right. Since it can reduce the casualties of soldiers, why not do it?"
Lin Han nodded, his expression still calm, and he did not show any specific emotions towards their opinions.
"Zhicai, what do you think?"
Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "When the world is unified, even if you don't want to be emperor, the people will not agree. Benevolent governance is a blessing for the people, so why refuse it?"
Everyone at the table deeply agreed with Xi Zhicai's words.
Lin Han thought for a moment before saying, "We can discuss the matter of becoming emperor later. As Wen Ruo said, if it can reduce the casualties of soldiers, why not do it? Don't spread the news about the jade seal. We just need to see the overall situation of the world."
"yes."
Everyone agreed.
The generals withdrew, but Jia Xu stayed and went to the imperial study with Lin Han.
"My lord, it may not be impossible to become emperor now," said Jia Xu.
"What do you mean?" Lin Han asked.
"Daxia."
Jia Xu pointed to the map in the study where Daxia was located.
"Now Daxia only claims the title of king, not emperor. If the princes of the Central Plains claimed the title of emperor, they would be attacked by other princes. However, Daxia does not belong to the Central Plains and its status is equal to that of the Han Dynasty."
Lin Han nodded slightly. He had thought about this but had never done it.
The sooner you become emperor, the sooner you can gather the luck of heaven and earth, which will be of great benefit to your territory.
"It's impossible for this jade seal to reach Daxia, right?" Lin Han said, taking out the imperial seal.
"My Lord, you are being unreasonable. Who said that becoming an emperor requires the imperial seal?"
Jia Xu spoke eloquently.
"Before the First Emperor, was there a seal passed down from generation to generation? As the princes fought for supremacy, the destiny of heaven and earth was scattered, and the whereabouts of the Human Emperor's Seal were unknown. The First Emperor carved a seal from the Heshi Bi, imitating the Human Emperor's Seal, to gather the destiny of the world. It was merely a symbolic object. When he ascended the throne, he could take another seal to suppress the destiny of the nation."
Lin Han was stunned and smiled with relief.
I used to think that becoming an emperor required the Imperial Seal. The Imperial Seal was only recognized by Heaven and added a bit of luck from Heaven and Earth. The system had reminded me that as long as the princes possessed Dragon Qi, they would be eligible to become emperors.
After Jia Xu left, Lin Han entered the secret room.
In the center of the secret room, there is a seal floating in it. On it, there are nine intertwined dragons and engraved with the four emperors. It is extremely powerful and it is the Kongtong Seal.
The Kongtong Seal was constantly absorbing the good fortune of humanity. Compared to the beginning, its color was much brighter now. The nine-colored jade stones, where nine dragons intertwined, began to glow, a breathtaking sight.
The Kongtong Seal guards the destiny of the human race and is the most precious treasure of the human race. Whenever you get close to it, the aura it exudes can make people feel relaxed and happy.
Suddenly, Lin Han sensed something and took out the imperial seal.
Something strange happened suddenly.
The imperial seal in Lin Han's hand was attracted by the Kongtong Seal and floated up in Lin Han's hand.
A transparent air bridge is formed between the two seals.
The luck of the imperial seal is being continuously plundered by the Kongtong Seal.
Yes, it is plunder.
