Chapter 711: Loyal and Brave Uncle
Although Huang Ju was dead, the emperor was still pinching his neck, and the dragon was looking at him with deep resentment.
Yingyuan conquered the south and the north, destroyed the eighteen countries, swallowed the world, and bravely conquered the world, for him, the countless scenes of destroying the country on the battlefield were the happiest time in his life.
A huge empire, built in his hands, he used to have a strong self-confidence, in his opinion, there is nothing that can be done in the world, at the beginning of the emperor, he was ambitious, he wanted to turn his empire into the most powerful and prosperous empire ever, and he was full of passion for the ambition to build a prosperous and powerful empire.
If it weren't for that accident, maybe the Great Qin Empire could really embark on the road of prosperity and strength.
History is often changed by small and inadvertent events.
The same was true of the Great Qin Empire.
It is undeniable that the emperor is a strong-willed person, even a little stubborn, when he identifies a goal, he will do whatever it takes to achieve it, for him, to achieve his set goals, is the value of his life.
Extinguishing the Eighteen Kingdoms, setting the world, and achieving his goal, his new goal was to be able to establish an unprecedentedly powerful and prosperous original empire, for which he also poured all his enthusiasm, appointed officials and virtuous ministers, and managed every opportunity, watching the nascent empire gradually embark on a prosperous era in his hands, for the emperor, greatly satisfied his vanity.
A horse accident seemed to be just an accident, but it caused the collapse of the prosperous era of the Great Qin Empire.
The Emperor, who had survived death, suddenly realized that he was old, and that although the mighty empire he had defeated was thriving, he might have gone to the grave before he could realize his grand ambitions.
In a ruined original land, to build an unprecedentedly powerful empire, not a generation of emperors can be completed, that requires several generations of Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers to go forward and accumulate one after another, and the emperor finally understood that although he has the heart, but powerless, he certainly has the ideal of building a strong empire, but time is not waiting, although everyone calls him long live, but how can a person really live to long live?
When he thought it was a negative answer, the appearance of the Xuanzhen Dao Sect allowed him to find new hope.
The Dao of Immortality is based on the alchemy of immortality, and the Xuanzhen Dao Sect is a childish face, a fairy-like figure, when the Xuanzhen Dao Sect brings the hope of immortality, His Majesty the Emperor finally found a new value in life.
Yes, he needs immortality.
In order to realize his dream of building a strong and prosperous empire, he must have enough time to work hard, and he can give up all his immediate achievements to achieve a new goal.
The Emperor is a self-confident man, very confident, and if he is given enough time, he has complete confidence that he can rebuild an empire, and the sacrifices of the present are all for the prosperity of the future.
The emperor felt that his painstaking efforts might only be understood by the Xuanzhen Dao Sect, and no one in the world would understand his painstaking efforts.
Officials are corrupt, the people are not happy, the northwest is in turmoil, the southeast is in turmoil, everything is not important, as long as he has an immortal body, he will have enough time to punish those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the people can die, the world will not be extinct because some people die, human beings will still give birth from generation to generation, the northwest turmoil, the southeast war is not to worry, as long as he cultivates longevity, he has the means to calm everything down.
As the founding monarch who has destroyed countless countries and led the empire to prosperity, his past experience made him know that he has the ability to govern the country and level the world.
It's all about immortality.
He hated the look in the eyes of others with the expression of looking at the old man, and in his opinion, anyone who prevented him from cultivating immortality had other intentions, and they didn't want him to live forever.
If others don't want him to live forever, he won't let people live.
Huang Ju's words pierced his body like a needle, making him feel very stinging in his body, he hated Huang Ju's nonsense, it was a curse, cursed that the emperor could not gain immortality, for such a chaotic minister and thief, the emperor would never be soft.
The emperor looked at Huang Ju's pale face and no longer breathing, and finally shook his hand, threw Huang Ju's body away, and landed on a chair, with a "pop" sound, the chair turned over, and Huang Ju's body also fell to the ground.
As soon as he remembered the movement in the room, Yue Lengqiu had already flashed into the room like a ghost, and when he saw Huang Ju lying on the ground with the emperor safe and sound, he immediately bowed down and asked, "Holy Lord, ...... you!" ”
"Take his body down." The emperor's voice was cold, "Rebels and thieves, throw them down and feed the dogs." ”
Yue Lengqiu immediately asked people to come in and drag Huang Ju's body down, and the emperor seemed to be angry, and asked, "How is the situation outside?" ”
"Back to the Holy Lord, the Guards have taken Huangtiandu, and Wu Jingwei has all abandoned their weapons and surrendered." Yue Lengqiu said cautiously: "Now that the ministers have reassembled under the altar, they are just in shock, maybe only when the Holy Lord goes out to see them can they calm their hearts." ”
The Emperor nodded and said, "I'll go see them now." ”
When the emperor appeared on the platform with great majesty, the ministers had already knelt on the ground, trembling, the air in the Tongtian Hall was filled with the smell of blood, although the corpses on the square had been cleaned up, but the blood stains on the ground still existed, and the two man-made rivers, the originally clear river water had been dyed with blood.
The emperor looked at the trembling ministers under the ceremonial platform, and a sneer crossed the corner of his mouth, and it was fleeting.
He knew that those courtiers who knelt at their feet must be very scared in their hearts now, the rebellion of Huang Ju was calmed down by his own understatement, not only cleared a piece of his heart, but also gave the ministers a great deterrent, although since the establishment of the empire, there have been rebellions in the local vultures from time to time, but the rebellion of the ministers of the court is the first time.
The weight of the rebellious characters is not insignificant.
One is the prince of the country who leans towards the government and the opposition, the other is the king of Han who is very promising to inherit the throne, and there is even a general of the right guard, this is a very powerful rebel combination, but under the hands of His Majesty the emperor, it was actually wiped out lightly, and the emperor's thunderous means will of course make the courtiers feel awe.
Xu Congyang has stabilized his mind, and immediately stepped forward to ask the emperor to severely punish the rebellious ministers, this time there are not a few courtiers who rebelled with Huang Ju, as soon as Xu Congyang finished speaking, many courtiers echoed and asked the emperor to punish him severely.
The ministers were actually a little nervous.
This time, when they encountered An Guogong's rebellion, there were only a handful of people who really stood up to protect the emperor, Xu Congyang and a few other people were certainly competing with An Guogong, but there were only two people who really stood up in danger, one was the head of the military department, and the other was Chu Huan, and most of the courtiers remained silent, as if they were watching a big drama that had nothing to do with themselves.
The Son of Heaven was frightened, the ministers watched the play, at this time the emperor turned defeat into victory, everyone thought of the emperor's moody temperament, and they were all panicked, who knows if the emperor would do something cruel when he was angry.
The emperor stood on the edge of the jade platform with his hands behind his back, but the queen did not come out, there were only Xuanzhen Daozong, Chu Huan and Xue Huai'an beside him, and Shenyiwei would not easily appear at this time.
There was silence in all directions, and after a long time, I finally heard the emperor say: "I have always been lenient, and those who are guilty will be punished, and if there is no crime, I will not let him be implicated." This time Huang Ju rebelled, and the main culprit will not be forgiven. After a pause, the conversation changed and said: "You Aiqing are in danger, but they have not succumbed, they have performed well, those who have merit, I will reward them, and those who have no merit have hard work, and they really will not be punished." ”
The ministers were worried, but they couldn't figure out how the emperor would fall, and when they heard the emperor's words, they were all relieved.
At that moment, someone stepped forward and immediately counted the sins of the Huang Ju family, and the ministers said a word to me, and soon said that the Huang family father and son were the number one villains in the world, and their crimes were unmatched since the beginning of the three emperors and five emperors.
The emperor quietly listened to the ministers denounce the Huang family father and son, but although the king of Han also followed the rebellion, none of the ministers dared to mention the rebellion of the king of Han at such a time.
Wait until the ministers calm down, the emperor then issued an order, will participate in the rebellion of all the officials to the criminal department and Dali Temple interrogation, and then issued an order in public, posthumously honored the loyal military department of the head of the party as the viscount, the title is inherited by his son, hereditary replacement, the ministers are a little surprised, but relieved, since the founding of the country, do not say a main matter, that is, there are very few people who are knighted by the Lang Shangshu, the emperor's will, obviously to commend loyalty.
When the emperor turned his head to look at Chu Huan, the ministers suddenly raised their spirits, this time Chu Huan can be said to be a big face, although he did not succeed in the sneak attack, but in that case, he also dared to shoot at An Guogong, in the eyes of the ministers, it is enough to show Chu Huan's loyalty to the emperor, the two shots, Fang is dead, Chu Huan is still alive, although the deceased is the biggest, the emperor gave Fang the title of viscount, but all the ministers know that Chu Huan's reward this time will never be light.
Sure enough, the emperor put his hands behind his back, looked at Chu Huan with a smile and asked, "Chu Huan, you are loyal to me, what do you want me to reward you this time?" As long as you open your mouth, I will not allow it! ”
Chu Huan knelt on the ground and arched his hand: "Loyalty to the Holy Lord is the duty of the minister, and the minister does not dare to be rewarded." ”
The emperor shook his head and said, "I have said that the guilty will be punished, and the meritorious will be rewarded, if even you and I will not reward you, then who else can I reward?" Wei Yi groaned, and finally said: "The previous envoy to Xiliang, you have made great contributions, I made you a household servant, I have thought about waiting for you to come back, and then give you a reward, this time you have made meritorious contributions, you are already a viscount, I will make you an earl today, crowned with the word loyalty, from now on, you are my loyal and brave uncle!" ”
Chu Huan was stunned, and the ministers were also slightly surprised, with the position of a squire, he was awarded the title of earl, which was really rare.
"Don't thank you yet!" Next to him, Xue Huaian hurriedly said.
Since the emperor has already spoken in front of the ministers, Chu Huan knows that he must not refuse, if he provokes the emperor, a good thing will become a bad thing, but Chu Huan feels that this may not be a good thing, this time he has no choice but to be in the limelight, in the eyes of the emperor, he is loyal and commendable, but I don't know if in the eyes of the ministers, he is too sharp, causing the jealousy of others.
Chu Huan thanked him for receiving the order, and as soon as he got up, the emperor had already said, "Where is Xuanyuan Shao?" ”
