Chapter 417: Emperor Wu!
That child was not born in the form of an egg. He was conceived and delivered normally like a human being.
His skin was yellow, his eyes were golden dragon pupils, and he had the blood of an ancient dragon flowing in his body.
Both the white dragon Kan Gong and the black dragon Li En believed that he was their offspring, because the child had the same blood as them.
Neither dragon could convince the other, so they made an agreement.
That was to let the child identify his father with his own fingers.
On the day when the child was one month old, the two dragons appeared in front of him at the same time, and the child's actions once again surprised everyone.
The child actually stretched out both hands and pointed at the two dragons at the same time.
This result was unexpected by everyone.
After several years, when the child could speak, the child directly said that both dragons were his fathers.
The Black and White Sect died out, and the Shuanglong Sect came to the end and became the core of this country.
The Shuanglong Sect began to gradually promote the so-called true dragon bloodline.
They said that only those with true dragon bloodline could be kings.
And the true dragon bloodline means having the bloodline of two dragons!
Both dragons come from the Dragon God, and each inherits half of the power of the Dragon God. If the blood of the two merges, wouldn't it be a true dragon?
This condition can be said to be very harsh, and it is precisely because of this that the blood of this child has become the only true dragon blood.
In other words, he will become the next king.
And the next king can only be his offspring!
Because only he has the blood of a true dragon!
This directly changed the original system of abdication of the throne of the Dragon Kingdom into a hereditary system!
In a sense, this view may not be wrong.
Because the idea of true dragon blood is exactly what the Twin Dragon Sect advocates, and it is the best way to resolve the twin dragon dispute!
Both dragons are dragons, and two dragons together are true dragons.
The throne is inherited by the offspring of the two dragons, and the status of the two dragons is equal.
And even if the two fathers are not in harmony, they can't betray the child, right?
The child is the king, and they will spare no effort to make this country better.
Moreover, dragon blood is very powerful. The dragon son who is half dragon and half human has the powerful power of ancient dragons. The strong can be called king, and the son of a true dragon is legitimate. Who would not agree?
And the child born by the son of a true dragon also has the powerful power of a true dragon. Why can't he be the king of the next generation?
The statement of the Shuanglong Sect was recognized by most people.
The king also took off the crown very consciously and abdicated the throne to the dragon son when he was ten years old.
But until today, the name of this dragon son is still not determined.
Because the Dragon Kingdom has the tradition of the son inheriting the father's surname, and both dragons are his fathers, then no matter whose surname this dragon son takes, the other party will definitely not be satisfied.
Later, someone thought of a way. He said, wouldn't it be better to take the surnames of the two dragons at the same time, one before and one after as the name?
But the problem came again, whose surname should be in front and whose surname should be in the back?
This matter was argued for several months again. In the end, the two dragons went directly to Ye Long and asked him to make a decision.
Ye Long was annoyed by the quarrels between the two, so he directly suggested that he take the character "Long" as his surname.
So Longzi's name was decided, and he was called Long Chen.
It was not until the 37th year of the Dragon Calendar, when Long Chen was 22 years old, that he gave up his title of king and changed his name to emperor, and named himself Longwu.
Since then, the Dragon Kingdom was officially renamed the Longwu Empire.
And over the years, the Dragon Kingdom has been harassed by foreign enemies, who are a group of uncivilized savages.
Or to be more precise, they are a group of orcs.
The gods they believe in are the gods of nature. They migrated from the south of the Longwu Empire on a large scale.
Those orcs and wild beasts are companions. Although they have been beaten back by the two dragons for many years, they are like flies. They can't be killed at all. One batch is killed, and another batch is left.
So the first thing Long Chen has to do is to eliminate foreign enemies.
If he can't even deal with the bandits at his doorstep, how can he pacify the world?
Long Chen is brave and brave, and he led the army in person. In his early years, he was honored as the Martial Emperor.
He was loved by civilians and soldiers. He had the kindness of Lord Kan and the toughness of Li En. He was both strong and soft, and had good governance.
But the more this happened, the more afraid people were.
They were afraid that Emperor Wu would leave them. A wise and enlightened monarch was rare. If Emperor Wu led the army and died on the battlefield, it would be a regret for all ages.
Emperor Wu's fathers were promiscuous and had weak moral concepts. They also gave birth to many descendants over the years.
But Emperor Wu never married and had no descendants.
In other words, if Emperor Wu died, the bloodline of the true dragon would be cut off, and the surname Long would end there.
So the ministers proposed many times that Emperor Wu should marry.
However, Emperor Wu only said eight words, "If the barbarians are not destroyed, how can we have a family?"
The ministers could not convince Emperor Wu, so the war lasted for four years.
Emperor Wu Long Chen led his troops to fight against the foreign races for more than a hundred times, and finally slaughtered all the foreign races. Only a few of them fled all the way to the wild land in the south.
Year 41 of the Dragon Calendar.
Emperor Wu pacified the barbarians in the south, and the crisis was over. The Dragon and Wu era was prosperous, and the whole country celebrated.
Emperor Wu celebrated with the people. In the same year, he politely rejected the women selected by the ministers for him, and later married an ordinary woman from the people and made her the queen.
From then on, he never took a concubine again.
Ye Long, who witnessed all this, has completely retreated behind the scenes.
Emperor Wu built a temple for him and let Ye Long live in it. If he encountered something he couldn't solve, he would come to the temple to ask Ye Long's opinion.
Emperor Wu currently adheres to the concept of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones. Until the 45th year of the Dragon Calendar, a group of human merchants discovered them.
They established trade with them and made the known world map public.
The territory of the Dragon Wu Empire is distributed in the east, not to the extreme east.
And from the border of the Dragon Wu Empire to the west of 7,000 miles, you can reach the border of the Desert Empire.
From the map, the territory of the Desert Empire is several times larger than that of the Dragon Wu Empire, occupying the most central area of the continent.
It can be said to be the core of the continent.
That was originally the territory of the Star Empire, but it was swallowed up by the Desert Empire. Now the Desert Empire has transformed into a superpower.
Listening to the introduction of those merchants, Emperor Wu Long Chen tilted his head and looked at the map in his hand.
"The vast land, the central country, is so vast that it is really enviable."
The leading merchant bowed and saluted in the etiquette of this country, with a flattering smile on his face, "Emperor Wu is joking, your majesty is the true dragon emperor, and this place is protected by the dragon god."
"There is no worry about foreign enemies, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. If you want to envy, it should be us."
Long Chen handed the map to the minister beside him.
"We have such a saying here, what is that saying, General Xu?"
A middle-aged man in armor came forward after hearing this, "Your Majesty, all the lands where the sun and the moon shine are dragon lands!"
The merchant's pupils shrank after hearing this, "This..."
Long Chen smiled lightly, "It's just a joke circulating in the streets, no one takes it seriously, the envoys should not keep it in mind."
"Come on, prepare fine wine and delicious food to entertain the delegation."
