Chapter 252: Xinghua Village: Five Dynasties and Twenty Kingdoms Struggling for Hegemony
Xinghua Village.
More than 20 households of villagers are on their way to Zhu's house.
In the afternoon, Zhu Fantong asked their beloved son to take his wives over, but he still hadn't returned by this time, and they realized something was wrong.
Those were the daughters-in-law they had bought with huge sums of money, hoping that they would inherit the throne for their family. How dare this Zhu Fantong take them away? He must kill all nine generations of his family!
Yes, kill all nine generations of the clan, they want to become emperor!
So when Zhu Fantong and his son Zhu Guangzong were surrounded by more than 20 princes, a long voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims—"
"I, Chen Tiedan, inherit the destiny of heaven and earth and the essence of the entire village. I now officially ascend the throne - the reign is called Changde -"
Zhu Fantong and Zhu Guangzong: “?”
The husbands of the buyers of more than 20 trafficked women: “?”
What is this and why don’t they understand?
More than twenty buyers stopped playing Zhufantong and ran out to watch the fun.
Zhu Fantong was injured and could not stand up, but Zhu Guangzong was not injured and ran out after him.
Upon taking a look, oh my god, I saw Chen Tiedan, a 60-year-old villager who was 1.5 meters tall and played cards every day. He was standing under the largest crooked tree, and his wife Wang Cuifang was holding a coronation ceremony for him.
He wore a large iron basin on his head and held a cane in his hand. He raised his head solemnly and said to his wife, "Today, I confer the title of Empress Wang!"
A big red basin was solemnly placed on Wang Cuifang's head.
Wang Cuifang looked so proud that she knelt down with the basin in her hand, and kowtowed three times and nine times: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"
Everyone: “?”
Zhu Guangzong: “?”
At this time, the imperial edicts of enthronement from more than twenty other old men sounded one after another.
"I, Song Goudan, seem to have passed away as the emperor of heaven, and now I am ashamed to ascend the throne..."
"I have no guts to formally ascend the throne—"
"I, the King Hegemon, have officially ascended the throne—"
Zhu Guangzong was stunned.
"You, you guys..."
What are these people doing here? Are they sick?
At this time, the twenty or so trafficked people beside him suddenly realized something when they saw their parents ascend the throne one after another.
Because Shu Yan had changed the families before, these sons, after a brief shock, immediately felt that it was natural for their family to become emperor.
"Father! Mother!" Chen Tiedan's son, Chen Dadan, was the first to say respectfully, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father! Mother!"
"Father, Queen Mother, the country cannot be without a crown prince for a single day. I am willing to take on the important task of Your Majesty and request to be appointed Crown Prince!"
Chen Tiedan's face suddenly lit up with relief. He placed a broken iron bowl on Chen Dadan's head and said, "My son has grown up. I am extremely pleased. Then I will make you the crown prince. You must not disappoint me and the country."
"Yes, Father!"
Zhu Guangzong felt a toothache watching this.
"No, I'm saying, are you all crazy? You're playing palace fighting in a shabby one-bedroom house made of earth and bricks?"
Chen Tiedan suddenly snapped, "You daring villain! How dare you refuse to kneel before me? This is extremely disrespectful!"
Zhu Guangzong: "??? They are all country bastards, what are you so noble about..."
Bang! Chen Tiedan hit him with his cane: "You speak nonsense! Fifty strokes of the cane!"
Chen Dadan and Wang Cuifang immediately rushed over and beat Zhu Guangzong violently.
“Ah! Ah—”
Zhu Guangzong was outnumbered and was beaten so hard that he cried loudly. In the end, he could only kneel down and kowtow while crying.
"Your Highness, no, I am your humble servant. I pay my respects to… Your Majesty… Your Majesty the Empress… Your Highness the Crown Prince…"
Zhu Guangzong was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
his--
What on earth is going on?
He didn't expect that after paying homage to Chen Tiedan, Song Goudan, Mo Youzhong, Wang Ba and other 27 emperors, each of them forced him to kneel down and salute them.
After he kowtowed and paid his respects to all the villagers and returned home, his head was swollen, he was shaking with anger, and he spat out a mouthful of pig's blood.
However, things are far from over.
As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. Of course, Xinghua Village soon fell into civil war after 28 emperors ascended the throne.
Chen Tiedan had the best conditions, occupying his own three-story red brick house and a pigpen, and named his country Dachen.
The neighboring country Song Goudan had the next best condition, with a two-story brick house and a chicken coop, and the country was named Song.
Wang Ba had the worst conditions, with only a thatched hut, so he called himself Heaven, to express that although he was poor, he had the favor of God.
The remaining 25 countries include Qin, Zhao, Yan, Han, Wei, etc.
With other countries eyeing the village covetously, Xinghua Village entered an era of division and hegemony.
In the evening, Mo Youzhong's son went to the edge of a field to urinate, but unexpectedly, Chen Tiedan had already sent a pig to occupy the edge of the field. Mo Youzhong's son immediately fought with the pig of the Chen State, and the war between Chen and Mo was about to break out.
When Chen Dadan heard the news, he personally led the army to the front line. He rushed to the ridge of the field with a hoe, dug up the head of Mo Youzhong's son with the hoe, and successfully killed the enemy.
"Report!" Chen Dadan happily returned home to report to Chen Tiedan: "Father, I have successfully killed the Crown Prince of Mo State. The conquest of Mo State is just around the corner!"
Chen Tiedan sat on the broken wooden dragon chair, a look of satisfaction on his face: "My son is brave and valiant, I am so pleased! Second Prince, quickly give the new roll of toilet paper from my treasury to the Crown Prince!"
Chen Tiedan’s second son, Chen Erdan, immediately went to the toilet, grabbed a handful of toilet paper, and handed it to Chen Dadan.
However, Chen Erdan's face was full of jealousy.
Damn it, this is the latest batch of paper in the national treasury. There is only this handful in total, and my father gave it all to Chen Dadan. Why?
As the queen's son, he was also a legitimate son, the only difference being that he lacked the word "eldest".
If Chen Dadan can be the crown prince, why can’t I be one too?
Chen Erdan's eyes rolled, and he sank to his knees. "Report, Father, the treasury is empty and we're out of toilet paper. I'm willing to go on a long expedition to the grocery store and requisition toilet paper to replenish the treasury!"
Chen Tiedan's face suddenly became relieved again: "Okay, go ahead! The emperor is so thoughtful, he has granted me a bicycle carriage!"
Chen Erdan immediately glanced at Chen Dadan with pride.
My father actually gave me the only bicycle in the royal family, which shows that he values me very much.
Humph, my ambition to seize the throne is just around the corner.
Chen Erdan rode his shabby little bicycle, passing through 18 countries, and it took him ten minutes to leave the village.
Then he spent half a day to go to the next village and visit the grocery store.
There was no other way. Xinghua Village was too poor and had no shops. Only the village next door had a grocery store.
Looking at the grocery store with a wide variety of goods, ambition flashed in Chen Erdan's eyes. He took out the imperial edict given to him by his father before leaving from his sleeve and sang it out loud.
"The imperial edict has arrived—"
The people in the grocery store looked up, and a question mark appeared above their heads.
Huh? Imperial edict? What the hell?
Chen Erdan read again: "The Emperor Changde of Xinghua Village has issued an order: Now that I have ascended the throne, you foreign nations must surrender immediately and pay tribute of ten packs of toilet paper, or I will punish you, even if you are far away!"
Grocery store person: “???”
"Who are you?"
"How dare you! You don't even kneel down when you see me?" Chen Erdan shouted angrily.
Grocery store owner: “….”
"Brother, the Qing Dynasty is gone." The owner patted him earnestly.
"How dare you!" Chen Erdan shouted, "How dare you touch me without my permission? Come on, beat me!"
Everyone surrounded him as if he were mentally retarded.
Chen Erdan was even more furious. A bunch of unruly people, how dare they look directly into the eyes of the emperor? He was the son of the emperor!
He hit people with a wave of his hand.
As a result, he was pinned to the ground by everyone and beaten out.
As the sun set, Chen Erdan lay on the ground covered in wounds, furious.
"Damn you, a bunch of foreign barbarians! Just wait and see how Father will deal with you after he unifies Xinghua Village..."
