The general meaning of the edict issued by Ye Chen is that if these fourteen city lords are willing to surrender, they will not blame them.

Keep their city lord status, and everything will be the same!

When receiving this edict, the fourteen city lords were shocked.

What I originally wanted to escape became hesitant in an instant.

In addition, Ye Chen set a time limit for them in the edict. If they voluntarily surrender, everything will remain unchanged as stated in the edict.

Of course, if this time period is exceeded, then what awaits them will be destruction.

The fourteen city lords couldn't make up their minds, so they sent invitations to each other and gathered together.

At this time, in a hall, fourteen city lords were sitting around a large round table.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere was depressing.

"What do you think Ye Chen means? He used this method to persuade us to surrender. Should we believe what he said?"

Finally, a city lord broke his silence and expressed his doubts.

"Your question is profound. If we know the answer, there is no need to get together to discuss it!"

"Look at us now, there are three ways in front of us, either take all our property and run away, but in this way, we will never have a place to settle down from now on! First of all, other dynasties will definitely not dare to take us in. People like us who have a criminal record of traitors will not dare to ask us! Or we will accept Ye Chen's persuasion to surrender and surrender to him, and maybe we can continue to be the city lord! The third way is to fight to the death. When we form an alliance, we are also a big force! And we don't know much about Ye Chen's character. Does this guy's words count? Don't let us surrender, and he will kill the donkey again, so we will not even have life!"

"But the edict issued by Ye Chen was issued to all cities in the entire Liuhe Dynasty. It can be said that it is an advertisement for the world! Now everyone in the world knows the content of the edict, he cannot regret it, right? After all, he is now the monarch of a dynasty. As the saying goes, the king has no jokes, he can't break his promise and become fat in front of the people of the world, right?"

"Although that's right, after we surrendered, he might be polite to us on the surface and even let us be the city lord! But behind his back, he has too many ways to deal with us! As the saying goes, it is easy to hide from open guns, but it is hard to defend against hidden arrows!"

Everyone expressed their opinions and discussed for two days and two nights, but they did not discuss a result that everyone recognized.

In the end, everyone felt that it would be meaningless to continue discussing like this.

So they parted and returned to the city.

After this discussion, the question of whether these fourteen city lords should surrender is divided into two factions.

The faction is determined not to surrender and insists on running away. Even if you hide everywhere in the future, it is better than losing your life.

Another faction is to try surrendering, and they pin their hopes on Ye Chen's character and integrity.

So before the seven-day time limit given to them by Ye Chen was about to arrive, eight city lords took the initiative to reply to Ye Chen, expressing their willingness to surrender.

The other six, with their families, rolled up fine treasures, and they ran out of the city without knowing it.

Ye Chen first ordered people to accept all the eight city lords' cities.

And according to the original agreement, they continued to be the city lords.

However, several officials were sent to each city to hold important positions.

The eight city lords were understandable about Ye Chen's move.

As an emperor, Ye Chen would never believe in vernacular words. Send people to decentralize power and monitor. This is the correct operation.

Because they would have done this themselves.

As long as you keep your glory, wealth and status, these are all trivial matters.

As for the six escaped city lords, Ye Chen also sent the new city lords as soon as possible to rectify everything and take over the city.

From now on, the thirty-three cities of the Liuhe Dynasty and the Smoky City of the Tianyun Dynasty, totaling thirty-four cities were all ruled by Ye Chen.

After conquering all the cities, Ye Chen officially announced the world and ascended the throne and became emperor.

His capital was still set in Xuanticheng, and changed its name to Xuanjing, and changed its name to Shengxu.

From then on, the Liuhe Dynasty was completely wiped out in the dust of history, and the Holy Ruins Dynasty began to rise.

After Ye Chen took office, he quickly rectified the dynasty, promoted the imperial examinations, built border defenses, and worked hard to develop everything in the Holy Ruins Dynasty.

Three years later, the Holy Ruins Dynasty was completely stable!

On this day, in the Xuanjing Shengxu Palace.

Ye Chen was wearing a moon white nine-dragon robe, a flat crown on his head, and sat upright on the throne.

The civil and military officials below are arranged on both sides, and the atmosphere is solemn.

Ye Chen slowly spoke, "My Holy Ruins Dynasty has made great contributions to the establishment of the country and the land of my deity! A few years ago, I have been in trouble and have no free time to fight against foreign countries and stabilize the country. Today, I can finally achieve peace and peace! At this time of peace, I will reward you all!"

The civil and military officials below showed a look of joy on their faces and immediately bowed and shouted.

"Long live my emperor!"

Then Ye Chen looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "In this chaotic world, the army is the foundation of a country! Therefore, I want to set up multiple marshals, and each marshal is responsible for commanding all marshals! Hong Yuan stepped forward and listened to the ban!"

Hong Yuan immediately stepped out of the line and respectfully said, "The last one is here!"

"I have named you the first marshal of the Holy Ruins Dynasty!"

"Thank you, the emperor! Long live my emperor!"

"Evil Yuan, I have appointed you as the second marshal of the Holy Ruins Dynasty!"

"Thank you, the emperor! Long live my emperor!"

"Xuanyuan, I named you the third marshal of the Holy Ruins Dynasty, responsible for training beast cavalry! I will give you an empty military camp, you are responsible for recruiting soldiers and monsters, and you are responsible for full training!"

"I received the order! Long live my emperor!"

"Lingyuan, I named you the fourth marshal of the Holy Ruins Dynasty! This world is full of ancient battlefields, with countless unjust souls! I ordered you to refine ghost soldiers and form your own Yin corps, as the mysterious soldiers of my Holy Ruins Dynasty!"

"I received the order! Long live my emperor!"

At present, the Chinese civil service system of the Shengxu Dynasty has become more perfect. Ye Chen doesn’t know whether it’s a bit of memorial or what’s going on, but he just can’t recruit talented generals.

He was full of reckless men, and there were very few generals who could lead the troops.

Only four of his apprentices can be used.

Therefore, he could only distribute the military power to his four disciples.

After the issue of distribution of military power was resolved, Ye Chen looked at the Tiger King standing below.
