Chapter 1: Chu Hao
In a trance, Chu Hao opened his eyes and saw that it was dark all around.
Before he could see everything around him, the voices of two women suddenly came from outside the door.
"You should be careful lately, don't miss the Fazhang's big business!"
"Don't worry, every time I finish collecting and replenishing the little emperor, after he passes out, I will also leave some essence for him, these essence elements can keep him safe and sound, and will never provoke the backlash of the national fortune!"
"That's good, after the Fazhang swallows the national fortune in Fu Tianqiu's body, the national fortune of this big Qian, except for the little emperor, will all belong to the Fazhang!"
"At that time, this little emperor will be useless!"
The voices of the two of them gradually faded into silence, and they seemed to drift apart.
Chu Hao tilted his head and looked at the room with carved beams and paintings in a daze, and his memories of the past gradually recovered.
In my impression, he ascended the throne as emperor half a month ago.
Pudu Cihang, who had been lurking for more than ten years, also occupied the entire palace at that time, and began to attack the important ministers of the court when the first emperor returned to heaven and the country's fortunes declined.
After Chu Hao noticed all this, he casually arranged some duties and ordered some ministers to leave Yingtianfu.
Chu Hao knew that as long as there was still a living person in the Manchu Dynasty, his life would not be threatened.
And Fu Tianqiu was one of the many officials who were ordered to leave Ying Tianfu.
He was an official of the Ministry of Rites and was one of the important ministers of the court.
In the secret decree, Fu Tianqiu was ordered to temporarily take charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army and go to the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division to investigate the officials' deduction of military salaries.
can listen to what those two people said, Fu Tianqiu failed to escape his fate after all, and it was still the same as the original play, which provoked the pursuit and killing of Pudu Cihang, the protector of the country.
"Fu Tianqiu, Fu Tianqiu......"
"I wish you could live a few more days and buy me some more time!"
Chu Hao took a deep breath, grabbed the edge of the bed and struggled to get up, moved his body with difficulty, and finally sat weakly against the wall.
He gasped for a moment, then summoned the personal interface.
[Name: Chu Hao]
[Lifespan: 18/28]
[Race: Terran]
[Repair: None]
[Exercise: None]
[Spell: None]
Countdown to system activation: 15:36
After Chu Hao saw the item of lifespan, his heart sank slightly.
"It's been 10 years less than the last time......"
The emotions in his heart manifested on his face, adding a bit of gloom to his already gray face.
But this is not the time to lament the decay of longevity.
In the candlelight, he frowned as he thought about the message he had received from outside the door when he first woke up.
"Right now, Fu Tianqiu is likely to have been captured by Pudu Cihang...... But it's also possible that they're still being hunted down! ”
"No matter what, when Pudu Cihang devours Fu Tianqiu's national fortune, it will be my turn next!"
Although in the original play, Pudu Cihang was jointly killed by Zhiqiu Yiye and Yan Chixia.
But Chu Hao didn't want to see this happen.
After all, the flesh and blood in the body of the Manchu Dynasty and the national fortune carried on the body have been swallowed by Pudu Cihang, and if it dies, the devoured national fortune will also be scattered without a trace.
At that time, there will be many more reckless heroes in the world to overthrow the great cadres.
Therefore, Purdue Cihang must not be killed by others!
At the very least, it can't die until he takes back the national fortune from Pudu Cihang!
Thinking of this, Chu Hao's gaze stayed on the system countdown on the interface, and his haggard face showed a look of anticipation.
Hopefully, this system, which has been with him since he was born, will surprise him.
Now that the Manchu Dynasty is dead, there are few living people inside and outside the court.
And he himself has not cultivated, and he has been picked up by demons for a long time, not to mention arresting Pudu Cihang, even if he wants to get up and go to the ground, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Except for this system, he has no other way to turn over!
It's only 15 minutes, and he can afford to wait.
Chu Hao turned off the personal interface, and opened another one with a thought.

Countdown to system activation: 15:35
After Chu Hao saw the data on this interface, he was stunned.
He stared at the data on it, and there was even some disbelief in his eyes, and his haggard and withered face gradually became gloomy.
The world is divided into nine states, and the Great Qian Dynasty monopolized the land of four states when it was founded, with a population of more than 1,600 people.
But half a month ago, when he ascended the throne as emperor, only Yangzhou was left in the original four states.
Although, there are a total of 62 prefectures in Yangzhou.
But all up, it's only one or two hundred counties.
But Chu Hao couldn't have imagined that he had been in a coma intermittently for less than half a month, and the Great Qian Dynasty had fallen into such a situation!
Where is this still a country?
In his previous life, any city had tens of millions of people, and some cities even had tens of millions of permanent residents!
In some cities, a county has a population of one million.
And now the population of the whole country is less than 4 million!
The treasury and the treasury combined, not even two thousand taels of silver!
The most important thing is that the morale of the army and the people have all fallen to the freezing point!
He gritted his teeth and stared at the data, gasping for breath a little bit, his chest rising and falling.
With the current situation, he is exhausted to death in the Fengtian Temple, and it is impossible to reverse the disadvantage in a short time.
What's more, there are countless demons and monsters that are wreaking havoc on the world.
Chu Hao never thought that the Great Qian Dynasty would one day fall into such a situation!
……
After a while, a voice like IA suddenly sounded in his head.
"The countdown is over, and the system is officially on!"
"Reward Initial Resource Chest*1!"
Chu Hao couldn't wait to call out the system interface.
I saw that after the activated system was expanded, there was an additional calendar-like icon in the upper left corner of the personal interface.
As soon as he thought about it, the icon immediately expanded, revealing the interface of a normal calendar.
At a glance, Chu Hao knew the function of this interface in his mind.
So, speak softly.
"Check in!"
The next moment, a red √ appeared on the calendar on June 13.
Immediately after, the sound of the system sounded again.
"Sign in successfully and get one of the 'Twelve Golden People'!"
As soon as the voice ended, Chu Hao saw a ripple in the room, and then saw a golden figure with a bronze body and a height of eight feet striding out of the space with his bare hands.
The bronze man took two steps, and after the ripples behind him disappeared, he immediately clasped his hands into fists and knelt down on one knee.
"Bang-"
Chu Hao glanced at it, and a translucent interface appeared in front of him.
【Name:Jinren】
[Quality: Fetish]
[Characteristics: King Kong is not bad, the size is as good as the country (increases with the national fortune), and the weight is as heavy as the mountain (increases with the national fortune)]
[Formation: Twelve Earthly Branches (Non-Activatory)]
[Cultivation: Qi training period (increases with the national fortune)]
[Scope of activity: 100 meters radius (increase with the national movement)]
[Description: Qin collects the world's soldiers, casts gold twelve people, sits three feet high, and controls the eight wildernesses and the four seas! 】
(Note: When 12 Golden Figures appear at the same time, you can get traits such as formation bonuses, damage reduction, and damage sharing)
Chu Hao turned off the interface and beckoned to it.
The eight-foot golden man who was half-kneeling two meters away from him suddenly turned into a golden light and appeared in his palm, and his body shrank to less than three inches.
Chu Hao looked down at it, subconsciously rubbing the top of its head with his thumb, and the worry in his heart suddenly eased a lot.
"With you protecting me, my heart is suddenly much more steady, and I don't have to worry about any more evil spirits coming to the dormitory to make up for me."
After the golden man who was half-kneeling in his palm heard his words, his figure bent a little more.
"However, if you are alone, if you want to capture Pudu Cihang, it is far from enough......"
After Chu Hao muttered softly, he summoned the national interface.
He didn't notice that there was some humane thinking on the golden man's drooping face, and in his brass eyes.

(Recruitment order: Available)
When he saw the national attributes again, Chu Hao no longer had the anger he had before, but his face still turned cold involuntarily.
He selectively ignored the other attributes and looked at the 'Recruitment Order: Available' line.
Then, a message immediately popped into his head.
From now on, every seven days, he can recruit for free, and in addition, he can also spend gold and silver, as well as national fortune to recruit.
However, there is a maximum of nine recruits per month.
After absorbing this information, Chu Hao said with a little expectation: "Recruit!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, three cards covered in patterns immediately appeared on the translucent interface.
