Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Unlucky Wu Qu Xing

From the 100th year of Shenwu to the 120th year of Shenwu, for the Shenwu Empire, this period of time is definitely a period of many disasters and difficulties, first of all, Prime Minister Zhuge Yuen Long plotted to rebel, and the number of people involved in the rebellion was a little staggering, and there were 18 of the 72 prefectures in Shenzhou that directly participated in the rebellion.

What Huo De Tianjun said when he left back then did have a lot of impact on Zhuo Ao.

For many people, the emperor's reign is too long, which is not a good thing, take Zhuge Yuen Long as an example, his grandfather Zhuge Wolong has followed Zhuo Ao to fight the world, and now, as the fourth generation of Zhuge Wolong's grandson, he is already sixty years old, and Zhuo Ao is still in his prime.

At the beginning, Zhuge Wolong was indeed a great help to Zhuo Ao, when Zhuo Ao was dying, he promised Zhuge Wolong three generations of wealth, in fact, Zhuo Ao also did it, starting from Zhuge Wolong's son, to Zhuge Yuanlang, three generations of grandchildren, all ranked in the position of prime minister, controlling power.

For the Zhuge family, Zhuo Ao can be said to be extremely favorable, but no one thought that the first to jump out and oppose Zhuo Ao's rebellion would be the descendants of the Zhuge family.

Sometimes, people are too smart, they will slowly empty their eyes, especially in the area of Zhuge Yuen Long, known as a prodigy since childhood, Zhuo Ao also takes special care of him, and even sometimes, some small mistakes, Zhuo Ao will turn a blind eye, but Zhuge Yuanlong, who has been accustomed to being tolerated by others, has always been self-centered, Zhuo Ao's kindness to him, he took it for granted, and even privately said that Shenwu can have today's prosperity, it is his great-ancestor, the founding wisdom of the Shenwu Empire. Tongtian Bo Bachelor Zhuge Wolong brought.

A great minister, but he was not satisfied. I always felt that he should go further, and I always felt that if there was no great-grandfather. It is impossible to have today's Shenwu, he should be the real son of heaven, his family has been the prime minister for four generations, and it is time to go further, and it is at this time that someone said that the emperor is only a hundred years old.

It doesn't really matter who that person is, the important thing is that this sentence is enough to make a lot of articles, and he has been called a prodigy since he was a child. Naturally, he is not too stupid, Zhuo Ao has deliberately turned a blind eye over the years, and also gave him the opportunity to secretly cultivate his own power in the court, but he never thought that all of this was allowed by Zhuo Ao to do so, in fact, everything he did was in Zhuo Ao's sight.

In Zhuo Ao's eyes, Zhuge Yuen Long is a spoiled child. Plus he is indeed smart enough, but unfortunately, he took the wrong path and took a path that is impossible to turn back. Nor can it be forgiven on the road.

In any dynasty, it is impossible to be forgiven for gathering a crowd to rebel. Even if Zhuge Wolong really made such a great contribution back then, he was proud in this world. In fact, Zhuge Wolong did not really make feats comparable to the two generalissimos. This world, it was Zhuo Ao who single-handedly beat it, when Zhuge Yuen Long was sent to the guillotine, he was still clamoring for these things, which made Zhuo Ao a little funny, he was almost eighty years old at the time, but he never saw the world clearly, always thought that others should revolve around him, and when he woke up from a dream, he couldn't face reality.

However, the blessing of dragging him, Zhuo Ao this time, in one fell swoop, served those who were dissatisfied with the empire, and then Jinyiwei was taken this opportunity to push to the forefront, this timing is very good, no one can say that Zhuo Ao is wrong, and no one dares to object, not to mention that the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei is still Yang Shilang, who has outstanding achievements.

The Zhuge family completely disappeared in the Shenwu Empire, no matter how great the exploits Zhuge Wolong had back then, it was not enough to erase the crime of treason, and once the seeds of hatred took root, it could only end with the complete destruction of one party, so as the loser's side, the Zhuge family was completely wiped out, even if Zhuo Ao missed the old feelings, but the law was not merciful, the first to jump out, if it could not be cleaned up by thunderous means, if it could not be ruthless, only punished the evil, it would only become an example for future generations, and the price of rebellion was not high, But the harvest of success is the whole world, and this kind of trading will make many gamblers take risks.

Therefore, Zhuge Yuen Long is very smart, but he is by no means a smart person, a smart person will not leave a way back for himself, and a smart person will never send his whole family to the guillotine.

However, Zhuge Yuenlong's death was only the beginning, it seemed that God felt that the Zhuge family was too pitiful, so soon after Zhuge Yuenlong's death, various natural and man-made disasters began to spread.

First the great flood in the south, and then the great drought in the north, there has been no exile in the Shenwu Empire for a long time, suddenly, hundreds of people were displaced, and the whole world of the Shenwu Empire seemed to fall into turmoil all of a sudden, and the rumors that gradually dissipated with the death of the Zhuge family suddenly resurfaced, many people think that this is God's punishment for the Shenwu Empire's good killing of loyal ministers, regardless of whether the real reason is this or not, but many people believe in this set.

Zhuo Ao didn't have much reaction to this, just let Jinyiwei go out to maintain the opening of warehouses and release grain in various places, Heavenly Court can't directly meddle in the affairs of the emperors in the world, and the only way that can be used is natural disasters or man-made disasters, so Zhuo Ao began to prepare for these disasters very early, and the grain stored by the treasury and various state capitals and counties is enough for the whole world to use for thirty years.

And Zhuoao vigorously develops agriculture and industry, but also makes the people's farming level, in this hundred years, has risen five or six steps, even in the case of such natural disasters and man-made disasters, if placed in the previous dynasties, it is definitely a year of no harvest, but at this time, although the production is seriously reduced, but it is far from the situation of starvation for thousands of miles, coupled with the timely response of the imperial court, although there is inevitable turmoil, but because of the relief of the treasury grain, it did not cause the people to unrest.

On the contrary, in the process of this disaster relief, hundreds of officials who tried to take the opportunity to make a fortune in the country were found out by Jinyiwei, and the charges were made public, and Jinyiwei's reputation among the people increased greatly, while on the contrary, in the officialdom, everyone was afraid and hated, but no one dared to object, because the royal gold medal that I came to was definitely a lifeline for corrupt officials and corrupt officials, even if they wanted to resist, they couldn't do itZhuo Ao implements the governance method of separating the military and the government, and the local government has no ability to mobilize the army at all.

And among this group of officials who were confiscated, there was a very ordinary and special figure - Yangzhou Assassin History, Wu Tai.

Wu Quxing was unlucky, at least he felt so.

When Zhuge Yuen Long plotted to rebel, he had not yet unlocked the seal, and when he unlocked the seal, Zhuge Yuen Long had already gone to a strange place.

Next, the disaster star came to the world, and Wu Quxing, who thought that the time had arrived, began to actively prepare for the rebellion, but if you want to rebel, you have to recruit troops, and if you want to recruit troops and buy horses, you must have enough money and food, otherwise no one will want to do this kind of headless thing with you.

Although the Wu family is rich, it is definitely not a rich country, in order to prepare the money and food for the rebellion, the reincarnation of Wu Quxing, that is, Wu Zhuo successfully persuaded his cheap father to make a fuss about relief food.

Dignified martial arts stars, doing this kind of thing for the sake of mortal money is actually a very shameful thing, but there is no way, in order to overthrow this rotten empire, in order to show off his might in front of the Fire De Heavenly Monarch, and in order to realize the bold words of subverting the Shenwu Empire within ten years at that time, even this kind of shameful thing must be done.

It's a pity, maybe it's because of the wrong time, when Jinyiwei really exerted his power, although Wu Quxing did it very cleanly, but there are some things that can't be covered up, the people get the food in their hands and the asymmetry announced by the imperial court, naturally there is dissatisfaction, and unfortunately, in Yangzhou, as the hardest hit area, Yang Shilang personally came here to sit in town and was arrested.

Embezzlement of disaster relief food and salaries is equivalent to treason, this is an order issued by Zhuo Ao not long ago, and dozens of corrupt officials have been arrested at that time, and the miserable end made many people tremble, and at this time it is obviously not a smart decision to commit a crime against the wind, so as the mastermind on the bright side, Wu Tai was pressed to the guillotine in the scolding of the people of Yangzhou after all the evidence was conclusively made public, and with him, as well as his son Wu Zhuo, and the whole family.

As the reincarnation of Wuqu Xing, and he awakened his memory, Wu Qu Xing naturally couldn't just be obedient, but unfortunately, he who had only been awakened for four years, let alone recovered, not even one percent of one percent, and Yang Shilang After a hundred years of cultivation, his cultivation was naturally more refined than a hundred years ago, even Xue Feiyu back then may not be able to beat Yang Shilang today, not to mention that the awakening time of Wuqu Xing at this moment is too short, and it is not as good as Xue Feiyu back then, even if he adds twelve martial god generals.

The twelve martial god generals were killed on the spot by Yang Shilang, leaving only the Yuan Shen to flee back to Heaven, and Wu Quxing, but after a day of fierce fighting with Yang Shilang, he was finally defeated, exhausted his mana and was captured alive by Yang Shilang, and enjoyed the farewell of the people with all kinds of rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in the prison car in humiliation.

In order to destroy the Shenwu Empire, Heavenly Court has also been preparing for twenty years, as long as Wuqu Xing can rise smoothly, it will naturally be smooth all the way, and all kinds of heaven and earth will help, but unfortunately, Wu Quxing couldn't wait for that day, because of his eagerness for quick success, he sent himself to the guillotine, and it also made Heavenly Court's twenty years of preparation come to naught.

Yang Shilang naturally knew the identity of Wu Quxing, but when these were sent to Zhuo Aolong's case, even Zhuo Ao was stunned for a long time, in order to deal with the difficulties of Heavenly Court, he also prepared for twenty years, and that feeling was basically similar to Heavenly Court.
