Chapter 338: New king succeeds the throne (2/2)

No one would believe it if it was anyone else saying it, but the whole nation knew the Calm Martial Ruler’s personality.He was just like Dongfang Zhan, although he held power, he was not interested in material enjoyment. When the previous generation Southern Summer King picked between the two princes, he favoured the swift and resolute Dongfang Gan more.Who would have thought that when his royal father wanted to pass the throne to him, Dongfang Gan would lead his troops to block the War Hounds without saying a word.

Dongfang Gan’s action told the previous king that he belonged on the battlefield and not the palace, so the previous king could only helplessly pass his position to Dongfang Hao.Dongfang Hao had a great ambition while lacking the talent to be a wise king, but he was good at managing the kingdom, having the mind of a king, so the Southern Summer’s government management was considered not bad.

Now that Dongfang Hao was dead?

Dongfang Gan was still not willing to be the Southern Summer King?

The great scholar sullenly said, “The prince is talented, but he is still young.He lacks experience with the battlefield and with governing, how could he be a king?The Southern Summer Country is in a very special period, I ask the Calm Martial Ruler to not reject this!”

“We ask our king to take the throne!”

“We ask our king to take the throne!”

Everyone loudly shouted together.

Dongfang Gan said with knit brows, “If I become the king, who will lead the battle?Southern Summer does not need a king right now, but rather a general that can defeat the War Hounds!”

“The Calm Martial Ruler’s words are wrong!”Meng Qingwu spoke up, “This war determines the fate of the nation, so with the king personally leading the army, it will increase the morale of the soldiers.As long as we can get past this disaster, when can we not fight back! Prince Dongfang Haoran is not yet thirty and can break through to the peak 9th Awakened Soul Layer.How about letting him gain experience by following the Country Guarding Ruler, one day becoming a pillar of the Southern Summer Country not inferior to the Calm Martial Ruler.Otherwise, if the prince assumes the throne too early, he will lack the strength and prestige to calm the public and it will waste the prince’s greatest stage to grow. What is the Calm Martial Ruler hesitating for?If the Calm Martial Ruler ascends, it will bring benefit and if the Calm Martial Ruler rejects the throne, it will bring mistakes, so please reconsider!”

Gu Qianqiu gave Meng Qingwu his approval.

She really was the wise and beautiful vice chairman of Miracle Commerce, this logical argument was much more use than these other people.

The Calm Martial Ruler gave a sigh before finally agreeing.

Dongfang Gan was surrounded by the army as he finally underwent a simple and brief coronation, turning Central State City into Imperial City.After Dongfang Gan ascended the throne, he immediately sent out several royal proclamations.

First, he titled Dongfang Haoran as the Calm Martial Ruler, inheriting the noble title left behind by Dongfang Gan.Of course, it was only the title so far. Dongfang Haoran did not have much military experience and his strength was not good enough, so he couldn’t control the military.The control of the military still remained in Dongfang Gan’s hands.

Second, the Country Guarding Ruler Chu Tian was also titled the “Profound Marquis”, becoming a first grade military marquis of the Southern Summer Country.He had the rights to move all the forces of the six counties and govern over all six counties. All the marquises would have the Country Guarding Ruler as their head!

Third, Meng Qingwu had killed the Hell Song Tribe’s vice chief Malim, so she was being titled a marquis.She would be named the “Cloud Dream Marquis” and would be Southern State’s marquis.

Of these three royal proclamations, two of them were for Miracle Commerce.Chu Tian was both a ruler and a marquis, as well as a first grade military marquis with power, this was unprecedented in the Southern Summer Country.Other than Chu Tian, Meng Qingwu also became a marquis, gaining control of the Southern State army that once guarded the Western Marquis’ manor. This was the first female marquis in the several hundred years of Southern Summer history!

Regarding this, no one had any objections to this.

The Three Great Clans could no longer recover after Imperial City fell and the other big clans either ran, died, or turned to the War Hounds, so how could they care about this?Of the several marquises left, other than the newly titled Cloud Dream Marquis Meng Qingwu, the Green Wood Marquis, the Golden Arrow Marquis, and the Divine Wind Marquis were all on Chu Tian’s side.Even the scholars led by Gu Qianqiu were all on Chu Tian’s side.

The new Imperial City and Central State were all Chu Tian’s territory!

Because of this, from the marquises to the citizens, not a single person objected to this and rather were filled with excitement.Chu Tian being entrusted with such heavy responsibilities in the Southern Summer Country was a good thing to the Southern Summer Country!

After Dongfang Gan announced the royal proclamations, he wanted to head to the Yun Sect to look for Chu Tian.

In the end, before he could even move, news came from the Yun Sect.Chu Tian had been working hard the past few days, causing his injuries to act up and could only recuperate in bed without continuing working.This caused Miracle Commerce and the Southern Summer Country to be filled with panic.

The Calm Martial Ruler had finally taken the throne.

But now something had happened to Chu Tian.What should they do about this?

In the minds of the Central State people, Chu Tian’s position did not lose to the Calm Martial Ruler.As long as Chu Tian was present, there was nothing that was impossible. But, once Chu Tian fell, then how could the people have confidence?

What should they do?

Find the medicine, they had to find the medicine!

Meng Qingwu decided to use all of Miracle Commerce’s channels, using any price to buy a single Immortal Grade Medicine.In just a single night, the news of Miracle Commerce buying an Immortal Grade Medicine to cure Chu Tian spread across the entire kingdom.However, even with the news spread, not a single word was sent back.
