Chapter 556: Lu State Surrenders

On June 6, Huacheng seemed more lively than before. In the past few days, more and more people applied to settle in Huacheng. Some of them were because the noble families of Yan State chose to move to Huacheng, and some of them felt that Huacheng was safer.

Because the place where the strongest man in the world lives, even if it does not have as strong spiritual energy as the East District, is much better than other cities. The education, medical care, and quality of life here are much higher than those in Xiacheng.

When Hua Zichen heard the guards in the mansion report that Prince Lu was visiting, he asked someone to notify Princess Ji Le and the two children and went to greet them in person.

Prince Lu was brought into the mansion by Hua Zichen, and the two came to the living room of the main courtyard together. At this time, Princess Ji Le came with her two children.

"Hello, father. Why didn't you notify me in advance of your visit today so that your daughter could make arrangements early? Sons, call grandpa!"

Princess Ji Le was also very happy to see Prince Lu coming. Although she is now in the innate realm, she also puts her mind on family management and children's education. Hua Zichen now has more than 20 concubines. He has not seen any changes in his belly since he gave birth to these two sons. As a royal family, managing the Gao family is also a very important matter.

"Two good grandsons, let grandpa see, you have grown so tall! Have you gone to school?" King Lu couldn't let the two children speak, and he liked the two children very much because he knew that the two children had high qualifications. King Lu liked those highly qualified talents the most, and what Lu lacked was this kind of saint-level talent.

"Meet grandpa, we are already in school, and now we are in the first grade of the Family Academy." The two children said politely to King Lu, and King Lu looked at their unrestrained appearance with even more love in his eyes.

"Last year, the two of them entered the Family Academy to study, and were assigned to the A-class, and their grades have always been in the top three. The king checked their qualifications, and they both have the possibility of becoming saints in the future." Hua Zichen looked at his two sons and said with love.

When Hua Zichen's two sons were just 12 years old, he sent them to the Family Academy. All the direct descendants of the three-rank and above families in Huaxia would send their children to the Family Academy, and the royal family was even more so.

"Oh! That's great! You should be close to the Golden Core Realm now. If your two children advance to the Golden Core Realm in the future, it will be great if your family has three Golden Cores!" King Lu looked at Hua Zichen and his two children, and he couldn't help but envy him. He hadn't found a person who had the potential to become a saint in Lu until now, which made him feel a little jealous of the Hua family.

"My father-in-law must have something to do in Huacheng today! How about we talk while eating? I have asked someone to get the dragon meat and the sky blue whale meat back. This year, the Hua family has brewed spiritual wine again, adding a lot of spiritual medicines. The taste is very good. You must try it more!" Hua Zichen said.

The two came to the restaurant together. All the food was ready. After sitting down, King Lu and Hua Zichen drank three cups of spiritual wine, and couldn't help asking about the battle between Hua Kai and Qin Zheng in Jicheng.

"I didn't see the details of the battle that day. King Qin was originally going to die. Kai'er was careless and let King Qin be saved by the [Blood Dragon Pool]. But Qin Zheng was indeed on the verge of death at that time!" Hua Zichen said.

"That's such a pity. If Qin Zheng dies, it will be very easy for Huaxia to unify the Central Plains. As long as Qin Zheng is alive, everything will be possible.

I heard that Qin Zheng's [Daxia Dragon Bird] was seized by the King of Huaxia. I wonder if this is true?" King Lu looked at Hua Zichen and asked.

"This is true. Kai'er gave me the [Daxia Dragon Bird] half a month ago and helped me eliminate Qin Zheng's mental power in the [Daxia Dragon Bird]. Now the [Daxia Dragon Bird] is my weapon."

Hua Zichen took out the [Daxia Dragon Bird] and King Lu knew that this magic weapon would not be fake after just one look. Qin Zheng could lose his magic weapon and his mental imprint was eliminated. This was really a complete defeat.

"Don't you Hua family practice spears? Why do you use a knife too?" King Lu stared at the [Daxia Dragon Bird] without blinking and said to Hua Zichen.

"Why should I use a gun instead of a knife? I've been learning knife skills recently to see if I can find an opportunity to condense the golden elixir. If you want spiritual treasures in Lu, you can ask Kai'er. Maybe he can exchange a few with you because of the friendship between our two countries." Hua Zichen took back the [Daxia Dragon Bird] and said so.

"Haha! I heard that Huaxia found ancient ruins on the overseas fairy island. It seems that the news is correct. Many families in Huaxia have exchanged for spiritual treasures, but how can ordinary spiritual treasures compare with [Daxia Dragon Bird], which was once the national treasure of the Zhou Dynasty.

[Chuanguo Xi] is also in the hands of Huaxia. Now with [Daxia Dragon Bird], the national destiny of Qin should be almost completely taken away by Huaxia. Now there is no need for the King of Huaxia to take action. It only takes three to five years for Huaxia to become an existence that surpasses Qin and Chu. At that time, it will become natural for Huaxia to unify the world." King Lu looked at Hua Zichen and said.

"So, my father-in-law came to Huacheng today to find out the situation of Qin Zheng and make plans for the future of Lu?" Hua Zichen asked directly.

"Zi Chen, given our relationship, I have nothing to hide from you.

Yan has surrendered to Huaxia, and Lu has now become the weakest of the four sovereign states in the Central Plains, and is also the most central of the other three countries.

I have the intention to surrender to Huaxia, but I also need to know the attitude of the King of Huaxia on this matter." King Lu looked at Hua Zichen and drank a glass of spirit wine and said.

"Father-in-law, the relationship between Huaxia and Lu is not comparable to any other country. Huaxia can't be today without the help of Lu, and Lu's prosperity today is also the result of cooperation and mutual assistance with Huaxia.

No need to ask Kai'er, if you study more about the system of Huaxia, you will know what Lu should do in the future. As for what Huaxia can give to Lu, what it can give to the royal family, noble families and people of Lu, there are results here." Hua Zichen said to King Lu.

The two did not shy away from Princess Ji Le and the two children, because if Lu surrendered to Huaxia, it would definitely belong to Hua Zichen's lineage, and they would be a lineup in the future. Ji Le's reputation and influence in the entire Hua family are not small, and the two children are the holy sons.

The King of Lu returned from Huaxia in three days. After returning, he held a pile of books and studied them carefully in the palace of the King of Lu. He often invited several important officials of Lu to his study to discuss together, and the discussion lasted for a whole night.

On June 16, Lu had another morning court. This time, almost all the noble families above the sixth rank in Lu were summoned. Everyone was smiling. Qin Zheng was seriously injured and the situation in the world changed drastically. The external threat to Lu was reduced by more than half at once. They were the closest allies with Huaxia, and Lu would definitely get better and better in the future.

The morning court was the same as before. They talked about several major aspects such as clearing wild beasts, repairing cities, training militias, and trade with Huaxia. The King of Lu just listened carefully to the reports of the officials. When the morning court was about to end, he waved to the eunuchs around him, and several eunuchs came over carrying a pile of books.

The King of Lu picked up a copy of "The General Code of Huaxia" and walked down from the throne.

"In recent days, the king has carefully read the General Code of Huaxia and other codes, and has benefited a lot!

The strength of Huaxia is not only in the Hua family, but also in the aristocratic families, scholars, craftsmen, and even civilians of Huaxia. The king of Huaxia has pointed out the direction for everyone through these laws and regulations, thus uniting the entire Huaxia.

Today I have another thing, which is about the recent rumor in Qufu City that Lu must submit to Huaxia. What do you think?" King Lu said to the officials below the stage.

Everyone below the stage was silent. They didn't know whether King Lu really thought so. If you didn't dare to say that you would submit to Huaxia, wouldn't that be courting death?

"Everyone can speak freely. We all know the situation of Lu. It is not easy to be able to persist between Huaxia, Qin, and Chu until now. If we are allowed to unify the world, it is nothing but a fool's dream.

My Lu family is not reluctant to give up this royal status. You all know the relationship between me and the King of Huaxia. Today, we call everyone here to say whatever we want." King Lu said.

When everyone heard what King Lu said, they all knew that he was sincerely looking for a way out for Lu. Without the Jindan realm, Lu could not compete with any of Huaxia, Qin, and Chu. If things continued like this, their lives would be very difficult. Many people had already started to discuss quietly.

King Lu saw that there was no organization here, so he asked everyone to discuss it first. After waiting for half an hour, the discussion became louder and louder. King Lu coughed, and everyone suddenly quieted down.

"Today, we will learn from the Chinese National Council and have a vote. As long as half of the three-rank and above families are willing to join Huaxia now, we will hold a vote for all the families in Lu. Only when more than half of the families agree and the number of opponents is less than 30%, can we pass the decision.

Today, we will first vote for the three-rank and above families. Now everyone can start making decisions. Let's start with me!"

King Lu said as a eunuch brought a large cardboard box. King Lu took the paper and pen given by the eunuch and threw it into the cardboard box after writing, and then stood aside waiting for others to vote.

When the King of Lu voted, he did not use his mental power to protect the contents of the note, so I, who was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, knew the King of Lu's choice. After seeing the King of Lu make his choice, they all went on stage and cast their votes.

"The votes have been counted. There are 17 families of the third rank or above in Lu. Among them, 17 votes were cast, and 17 people agreed that Lu would submit to Huaxia. No one abstained or opposed. Three days later, all the families of Lu will go to the Palace of the King of Lu to decide whether to submit to Huaxia in the end."

After the King of Lu finished speaking, all the officials left one by one. As a result, all the families of the third rank or above submitted to Huaxia. So what did they have to choose? If they all submitted, what was the use of these small families opposing?

However, many small families in Lu just went home to check all the laws of Huaxia, and basically understood why the King of Lu did this, because in this way, after they became part of Huaxia in the future, they could fight for more rights and interests for themselves.
