Since Chen Yunxuan received the appointment letter from the county magistrate, Lin Tongxi has completed the task again.
Now, he has accumulated enough system power to upgrade the version.
Without thinking too much, Lin Tongxi closed his eyes again and emptied his mind.
"Upgraded version!" This thought suddenly emerged in Lin Tongxi's mind, and countless rays of light converged in the middle of his mind.
Countless rays of light condensed, leaving only an extremely flickering singularity.
Finally, the singularity was like the Big Bang of the universe, and the light continued to expand in all directions.
[Version upgrade successful! System version 3.0 to version 4.0]
【Unlock the power function! 】
Power? Lin Tongxi opened his eyes and opened this section.
Suddenly, a large map of China appeared before my eyes! The map was marked with different colors, and these colors corresponded to different forces.
Xiangzhou is marked in sky blue, corresponding to Ding Nanjing's forces.
Ding Nanjing of Sichuan Province in the southwest corresponds to cyan, Yuchi Feng of Longzhou in the northwest corresponds to khaki, and Xingtian County located between the two is the warlord Lu Heming, corresponding to purple.
Sandwiched between Xiangzhou and Chuanzhou is Yu Xianluo of Bai'an County, who is iron gray.
In addition, there are six major forces from north to south: Ding Yuanhan, the King of Weibei who guards the northern border, Murong Ji, a former subordinate of Murong Ming in the northeast, Xiahou Jing whose territory spans eight states including Yan, Guan, Chang, Hai, Xin, An, Ying and Huai, Ding Yunyi who guards Yuwan County alone, Xie Wenzhou who controls Linzhou in the southeast, and Zhang Guangxin who controls Lingzhou in the southernmost part. They correspond to ice blue, white, dark blue, red, green and dark brown respectively.
There are also two crown and tassel symbols on the map, marked in Fengdu and Yingdu respectively.
The so-called crown and tassels are the headdress worn by the emperor. The crown and tassels on the west represent the Emperor Chihuai who was supported by Yuchi Feng, and the crown and tassels on the east represent the Emperor Chihui who was supported by Yuchi Feng.
As usual, there should be another crown symbol, which is the Emperor Chimu supported by Lu Ganyue.
But now, the north occupied by Lu Ganyue has been administered by Xiahou Jing, and the Chimu Emperor, who symbolizes the third emperor, has disappeared.
Lin Tongxi couldn't help but wonder what exactly happened in the north?
He looked at the left arrow above, then switched the influence map back to the previous year.
It turned out that Lu Ganyue's power, which spanned the four states of Yan, Guan, Chang and Hai, suddenly split into four small forces, and was later annexed by Xiahou Jing.
Because there was Xiahou Jing between the north and the south, information from the north could not be transmitted quickly to Ding Nanjing.
Therefore, many people know very little about this dramatic change in the north.
Fortunately, the [Power] section also has a review of major events. Lin Tongxi looked at the [Review] and then learned the reason for the split: Lu Ganyue was killed!
…
In the north, in Xiangdu, Emperor Chimu was in trouble.
"Your Majesty, Lord Chang Lu Ganyue unified the north and made outstanding contributions. I, your humble servant, dares to ask Your Majesty once again to make Lord Chang a king!" Lu Ganyue's subordinate Zheng Shennan took the lead in attacking.
"Your Majesty, please confer the title of king on Lord Chang!" Many ministers made this petition, and only a few ministers remained silent.
Lu Ganyue was powerful, and the ministers who supported the Chi Dynasty did not dare to confront him.
Previously, when Emperor Chimu allowed Lu Ganyue to enjoy the emperor's system and granted him the privilege of "paying homage without being named and entering the palace with sword and shoes", it had already aroused opposition from a number of ministers.
But these objections did not work, but instead brought him bloody disaster.
Secretly, these people were either dead or injured. The better ones were transferred to other idle positions, and the worse ones were forced to retire.
Now, the court is basically filled with Lu Ganyue's confidants. Even if Emperor Chimu wants to oppose, he cannot stop these ministers from repeatedly making suggestions one after another.
In order to preserve his power, Emperor Chimu had to compromise again: "You are absolutely right, then..."
Emperor Chimu hesitated again. If he agreed at this moment, Lu Ganyue would be only one step away from becoming emperor!
But he had already become a puppet. If he did not agree to this... then several of his confidants would disappear inexplicably and be replaced by spies planted by Lu Gan.
"Appoint Duke Chang Lu Ganyue as King Chang, grant him the Nine Gifts, and allow him to go out on patrol and enter the imperial carriage!" Emperor Chimu forced himself to squeeze out these words.
Previously, the ministers had submitted petitions to Emperor Chimu many times, requesting that Lu Ganyue be made king. Now he was embarrassing himself in the court.
If he continues to refuse, the only remaining royal privileges that Emperor Chimu has might be taken away by Lu Ganyue!
"Your Majesty, everything I do is for the country and the people of the Red Dynasty. I am only trying to share your worries. How can I deserve such an honor?" Lu Ganyue said a lot in a grand manner as he resigned.
Emperor Chimu knew that the other party was acting, so he had to persuade him again, but Lu Ganyue still refused.
Of course, all this is just a show.
Helplessly, Emperor Chimu had to issue an edict. After three refusals, Lu Ganyue finally accepted the reward.
Everyone saw Lu Ganyue's ambition. After Lu Ganyue was conferred the title of king, he brought news that the Lu family would replace the Ding family in inheriting the Mandate of Heaven.
Advisor Gong Jize took advantage of the situation and suggested, "My lord, the Ding family is now in decline, and the Chi Dynasty is weak."
"My lord is wise and powerful. He has unified the north and defended the northern wilderness from outsiders. He is deeply loved by the people."
"The current emperor has expressed his intention to abdicate, and countless officials and common people hope that you can inherit the Mandate of Heaven!"
"I, your subordinate, dare to ask you to accept the abdication!"
Lu Ganyue really wanted to become emperor, but he hesitated several times.
The consequences of Lu Ganhai's previous declaration of emperorship are still fresh in our minds. Will he follow in the footsteps of his cousin?
At this moment, a minister stood up and expressed his clear opposition: "My lord, are you planning to become a traitor to the Red Dynasty?"
