Following their discussion inside the Heavenly King's Mansion about how to deal with Princess Anren, Gongyang Yi, Xu Xing, and Heavenly Kun King Chang Kun began persuading Xu Xing to declare himself Emperor and establish a new dynasty.
Once the leading civil and military officials expressed their willingness, the remaining middle and lower-ranking generals also began persuading him to accept.
"Heavenly King..."
"Emperor Chongming is dead..."
"The world is now without a leader..."
"If the Heavenly King does not proclaim himself as the Emperor, are we not betraying the people's expectations?"
Each Righteous Army General made their case.
As long as Xu Xing took one step further to become the Emperor, they, his confidants and Trusted Aides, would ascend to prominence. Each of them would be awarded noble titles and official positions, and they would reap the benefits of being part of the dragon's entourage.
