Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Emperor's Determination Not to Give Up an Inch of Land, and to Die in Battle

"Your Majesty, you need ministers, it is an honor for ministers, and you will never give up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"For the sake of the empire, even if there are any difficulties, the ministers will never back down!"

"But please command, Your Majesty."

……

There were many indomitable officials who were perverted and swore allegiance to the emperor, while others asked for pension because they were too old or because their bodies were too badly persecuted.

Then there's the bounty.

Xiao Xiaoyu did not directly seal people this time, but asked everyone to recommend candidates, because he didn't know who had real skills and who was more familiar with what official position.

Everyone didn't dare to cheat for personal gain, Zhao Shanhe and those anti-thief families gave them a huge warning, and the emperor was as powerful as the sea.

After everyone's recommendation, in addition to a few suitable candidates, they are:

The head of the province under the door: the nine secluded summers in the service

The head of Zhongshu Province: Zhongshu Ling Fu Jiugong

There is also the Shangshu Province that Xiao Xiaoyu sealed before: Shangshu Ling Zhang Jiuling.

……

Taishi and some other unwilling officials were also sent back to Xianggu for the elderly, but the treatment is much better than before, those dilapidated houses are all renovated, and the surrounding environment has also been transformed into beautiful, of course, this is a matter of the future, from morning to night, the court has undergone a major change, a new management team has appeared, and the palace has also undergone a big change, such as Wei Zhong and other eunuchs who were familiar with the past are gone, and a group of new palace female eunuchs have been replaced, each of them is sincerely afraid, and carefully serves the emperor.

Xiao Xiaoyu found that these eunuchs did not have the arrogance and arrogance of the past, and none of them even dared to look up at the emperor. Trepidation and awe.

On this night, the killing continued, but it was no longer a matter of concern, and with the change of management team, the whole country was running rapidly, giving a breath of life to the paralyzed mechanism.

It was close to midnight before Xiao Xiaoyu walked out of the Taihe Hall and went to sleep in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

If you have to ask me why he went to the Heart Cultivation Hall instead of the Sweet Dew Palace, I can only answer that although he is now in power, he has no plans to get close to the concubine......

Earth!

On this day, Xiao Xiaoyu had nothing to do on Earth, An Miaowu didn't call to contact him, and he didn't bother An Miaowu, and the other three brothers didn't have anything else to do except for classes, games, and meals, and mutual damage, Xiao Xiaoyu spent all day in the library and didn't see An Miaowu.

No words!

………

The next day in the Atlas!

Xiao Xiaoyu sat on the main hall, waiting for the eight directions to come, looking at the ministers and shouting long live, the eunuchs and palace maids were cautious, looking down on everything, he felt the power for the first time.

"Your Majesty, the Lord of Jiangzhou requests an audience!"

The eunuch shouted at the top of his voice.

"Your Majesty, the Lord of the Wasteland is here!"

"Your Majesty, the Lord of Jianzhou is here!"

……

"Xuan!"

Xiao Xiaoyu didn't have any extra words, nodded, and the eunuch delivered the edict outside the hall, there was no extra sound, there was just majesty, the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

He sat upright on the dragon chair, like a sun, and no one could look at him directly.

The emperor sits on a high platform, and comes from all directions!

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Those state lords in the empire came one after another, as if at the beginning of the empire, the four seas surrendered, and the image of the dynasty coming from all directions, this is the power of the human emperor, a symbol of prosperity, and many people are sighing.

These lords of a state, both rich and poor, the worst is probably the lord of the barren state, which is the state adjacent to the Southern Barbarian State, which has now been occupied by the Southern Barbarians, and has fled back alone, and is already alone.

He looked desperate and helpless, when he met the emperor, he didn't dare to look up, even if he looked at the emperor with his spare eyes, he didn't dare.

Abandoning the state and fleeing, leaving behind the people, no matter how you say it, is a big crime, the state is in the people, and the state is dead, which is also a tradition in the south.

Now that the wasteland is dead, but I am still here, it is conceivable that the emperor will not let himself go.

So he is desperate, he can escape the hands of the Southern Barbarians, and he can't fly into the palm of the emperor, but he is not afraid and will not destroy!

"The criminal minister Huangzhou Meng Haoqi pays a visit to Your Majesty."

Meng Haoqi gritted his teeth and bowed down to the emperor, it didn't matter whether he lived or died, the most important thing now was to stand up and take on everything like a man.

Meng Haoqi, who is not confused, is burly, but he doesn't have much look in his eyes, as if he has been hollowed out of his spirit and spirit.

The reason why he came back was just to end everything, and it was not his wish to abandon the state, but it was a last resort.

"Flat!"

The emperor's majestic voice came from top to bottom, as loud as a bell, and the emperor's majesty seemed to be able to suppress heaven and earth, and everything was as small as ant dust in front of the emperor.

This is the Emperor! The Emperor of Man is majestic!

Meng Haoqi thought to himself.

He hesitated for a long time, did not stand up immediately, his face was ugly, and he was puzzled, waiting for the emperor to condemn him.

But after waiting for a long time, the emperor did not continue to speak, nor did he condemn himself, only the power of the human emperor was permeating, as if the whole heaven and earth were filled with this powerful energy, this is the human emperor, this is the monarch of the southern country, with this monarch, why is the southern country not prosperous?

This is what many people think in their hearts.

The emperor is high, powerful, and has supreme momentum, the reason why Xiao Xiaoyu put on this posture is because he knows that as a monarch, he must be close to the people, and share weal and sorrow with the people, but there must be majesty and mystery, and the people can shorten the distance between themselves and the people, and maintain a sense of mystery and strength, which can make people feel that following this emperor is trustworthy and can lead everyone to a better life, because he is strong and capable, and can give people the ability to lead the empire to prosperity.

If an emperor only knows how to be close to the people, and does not maintain a mysterious and powerful feeling, and even he is just coarse food and clothes, then this emperor is very close to the people, but it is easy to lose the hearts of the people, the emperor is like this, he is loyal to the emperor, even if he works hard, there is no better life, then what am I fighting for?

Even if he became an emperor, he only ate coarse food and wore coarse clothes!

A good emperor must be close to the people, but also remain strong and mysterious.

"Could it be that Your Majesty doesn't know where the wasteland is? I don't know what happened to the wasteland at all, or maybe the emperor doesn't have the concept of the wasteland in his mind, so he didn't condemn him? Meng Haoqi thought inwardly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is guilty."

"Oh? What is the sin? "How could Xiao Xiaoyu not know about Huangzhou, how could he not know about this bare-bones commander, but he didn't want to punish Meng Haoqi, the fall of Huangzhou was not his fault, but Zhao Shanhe's policy of non-resistance, as well as those ministers who were greedy for life and afraid of death and advocated peace.

Meng Haoqi's deeds, Xiao Xiaoyu has also heard some of them, he is a hero, isolated and helpless, leading the people of Huangzhou to meet the Southern Barbarians, fighting in despair.

During the reign of Zhao Shanhe, not only did he not send troops to support, but even withdrew all the absolute retreats in Huangzhou, resulting in no one guarding Huangzhou.

It was Meng Haoqi, leading the people of Huangzhou and the monks of Huangzhou to resist the Nanban, knowing that there was no one to support, knowing that even if they won, they would not have military merits, knowing that this would be useless, and they couldn't resist the Nanban, but they were still fighting, desperate fighting, just to protect their homeland!

They resisted countless attacks by the Southern Barbarians, during which they didn't know how many singing and crying deeds happened, and they could become a history of loyal martyrs' wars, but unfortunately in the end they were outnumbered and fell, Meng Haoqi was pushed out of the Huangzhou by the people of Huangzhou, and came to the imperial capital with the fire that the people of Huangzhou hoped to recover their homeland, and asked for support.

Meng Haoqi walked resolutely to the imperial capital with tears, he knew that he would be accused of abandoning the state and fleeing, and he would be beheaded, but he was not afraid, even if he died, he would ask the emperor to send troops to support, in this way, he would die without regrets.

Xiao Xiaoyu knew this, he admired this kind of person, and he couldn't bear to punish Meng Haoqi in his heart, not to mention that Meng Haoqi was not guilty to death.

Xiao Xiaoyu is not pedantic, killing the rebellious family is to establish authority, I dare not say that the people who kill are deserved, but most of them deserve to die, if he is asked to kill a loyal minister, he will not do it.

"The guilty minister abandoned the state and fled, regardless of the safety of the people, his crime should be beheaded, the minister has nothing to say, and he does not want to defend himself, but before he died, he asked His Majesty to send troops to reinforce the wasteland and save the people of Li from fire and water."

Meng Hao threw himself on the ground, prostrate on the ground, tears welled up in his eyes, he was not afraid of death, he was just worried about the people, Nanban was cruel and unreasonable, and he was addicted to killing, and he didn't know how many people would lose their lives.

"Huangzhou is the territory of my southern country, even if you don't say it, I will send troops to fight, as for you, there is no guilt, there is also merit, I know your deeds in Huangzhou, but at that time I lost the power in my hands, so I couldn't make a move, now I have the power, I will never let an inch of land fall into the hands of others." Xiao Xiaoyu's words were plain and full of monarchical authority, but everyone could hear the resoluteness in his heart.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise, and the guilty ministers thank Your Majesty for your holy grace on behalf of the people of Huangzhou!"

Meng Haoqi originally thought that the emperor would refuse to send troops under various excuses, because the southern country at this time was really not suitable for war.

"I don't think I'm wise and martial, and I don't have the ability of my ancestors to expand my territory, but I will try my best to protect the land that my ancestors fought for, and I won't let an inch of land go, and I won't die in battle!" Xiao Xiaoyu said.

This is the true thought in his heart, even if it is a war, he does not want to give up his homeland.

"Don't give up an inch of land, you will die in battle!"

Many ministers listened to the blood boiling, and those state lords also muttered to themselves when they heard the words, their hearts were mixed, their complexions changed, and they were thoughtful!

They seemed to see pictures of the war that were bloody and singable.
