Chapter 1 The first meal is a severed head
Great Xia Kingdom, Heavenly Prison, Night.
"Lord Zheng, this is dinner today."
After the jailer in the prison finished speaking, he put a chicken leg rice in front of Zheng Xiu.
Zheng Xiu opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was an iron door made of stainless steel.
Wait, I'm here, crossed?
Zheng Xiu touched the big iron door with some incredulity, and the cold touch made him believe that none of this was a dream.
Countless memories came back in an instant, as if they were about to tear his brain to shreds.
In the year 172 of the Great Xia calendar, this stormy empire had come to an end.
Even if the empress who has just ascended the throne has some skills and courage, she still can't convince the public.
Except for a few officials who had just been promoted by the empress, there were almost no other people available.
Although this Great Xia has a territory more than ten times larger than that of the previous life, has more abundant materials than the previous life, and has extraordinary power that did not exist in the previous life.
But it is far less stable than in the previous life.
There are foreign relatives interfering in politics, eunuchs are dictatorial, and there are many parties in the court, and they are tilting against each other.
There are natural and man-made disasters outside, rebellions and uprisings, powerful countries are around, and the immortal family sect is around.
Even if Zheng Xiu doesn't sort out the memories he gets.
can also know in an instant that this seemingly powerful empire is about to end.
Just when Zheng Xiu was about to accept the memory little by little, the prisoner who was squatting in the prison next to him opened his mouth to speak.
"Brother, eat, don't be afraid, it's better to be a full ghost than a starving ghost!"
Wait, a full ghost is better than a hungry ghost?
"If you say it clearly, why are you going to cut off your head!"
Zheng Xiu looked at the old man in the cell opposite.
I want the truth from his eyes.
After all, he had just crossed over, so why was he going to die?
He hasn't even turned on the system yet!
"It's not simple, think about the brown rice and vegetable leaves we usually eat, compared with your polished rice and chicken legs, how many miles away?"
The old man snorted twice as he spoke.
"Look at that bowl of soup that is not green and yellow, it is wine, I haven't drunk wine for twenty years."
"I didn't expect you to be able to eat chicken and drink wine in less than three days after you came in, brother, your sin is big enough!"
Guillotine rice! It's really a decapitator!
Little by little, the memories came back, and soon the things that had been deliberately ignored before also reappeared in his mind.
Natural disasters have been going on for many years, and the people have been unable to eat, but the state has been raising taxes.
During this period, of course, there were empresses who were mediocre, officials who were incompetent, and demons who caused chaos in the court.
But the most important thing is that the so-called immortal sects are constantly putting pressure on the imperial court.
has been asking for a large number of precious cultivation resources from the imperial court, and under the increasing pressure of the layers, the tax can only rise again and again.
Zheng Xiu, who ranked first in the first list of Great Xia in 168, is the owner of this body, the champion appointed by the first emperor.
directly recited the "Ten Sins" written by himself all night in the court three days ago, first scolding the empress for being mediocre, then scolding the incompetence of hundreds of officials, and then scolding the moths in Xianmen.
The whole is a lifeless angry young man.
Even if he had already cultivated to the level of the Sixth Rank of Wendao.
After reading three articles, he was directly taken into custody and sent to prison.
After layers of hints from various departments, all the way from the prison of the criminal department to the prison of Dongchang, and then to the prison.
The original censorship and torture were also saved.
It took three days to be on the road.
Thinking of this, Zheng Xiu also gasped.
Although this kid has a big heart, but this is too two, right?
What's going on? Is this life so worthless?
I don't think about my own mom and dad.
Wait, the original parents died because of a confused account at this time? That's fine, it makes sense.
"Ding, the justice system detects the current state and starts binding."
"As long as the host dies because of justice, the 1,296 million calamities can be skipped."
"Not only can you directly become the Emperor of Merit, but you can also become the co-master of the three thousand six hundred worlds."
"When the host does something else, it will also be rewarded a little."
"Justice or not depends on the identity and status of the host, please consider it carefully."
Wuhu! Takeoff!
What kind of system is the most intimate? Of course, the system that can directly skip the 1.296 billion catastrophes is the most intimate!
I have eaten a severed head dinner tonight, and I guess I will be beheaded tomorrow.
Becoming a meritorious emperor who has mastered the 3,600 worlds, isn't that just around the corner?
Thinking of this, Zheng Xiu directly handed the wine over there to the old man.
"Uncle, you've been here for so long, I'm afraid you don't know the taste of wine for a long time, so I'll give you this bowl of wine to drink."
Look, how kind I am, do you understand respecting the old and loving the young, and do you understand the Emperor of Merit.
The old man first looked at Zheng Xiu carefully.
Then he said with a look of a fool: "The facial features are so good, why are you stupid?" ”
Although the old man's words were hard to hear, it didn't matter.
Zheng Xiu won't bother with him, he won't mind.
After all, not everyone can become a meritorious emperor.
At the same time, in the Heart Nourishing Palace, the empress looked at the Dongchang banner kneeling below, and directly threw the piece down.
"After checking for so long, you haven't found anything, is he really so honest?"
"Or are you all rice buckets, all wine bags and rice bags, and you can't even do such a small thing?"
The Great Xia Kingdom is now known as the most mediocre empress Ji Qing, sitting behind the table with a sinking face at the moment.
It was the champion hand-picked by her father, what her father himself called "usable talent".
Whether it is corruption or bribery, or doing evil, she can accept it.
After all, this Great Xia Kingdom was already full of moths, and she didn't care if there were more of them.
Up and down the court, large and small officials, none of them can be used by her with confidence.
Zheng Xiu, she remembers, not because this person is handsome.
Rather, it was because of the fact that this man wrote a speech during the temple examination, which was earnest and to the point.
Her father said that if the country was governed according to those policies, it would not be a problem for the state of Great Xia to continue for another thirty years.
However, if she really did this directly, whether it was the new champion, the people of Li Min, or her, the soon-to-be-enthroned empress, they would all suffer a strong blow from the outside world.
After all, those immortal sects and the external troubles of the empire don't need a powerful Xia Kingdom, what they need is a Great Xia who is willing to take it.
But it was at this time when the Great Xia Kingdom was in turmoil.
This usable minister, a talent who can be created, was in a hurry to come out and die not long after the death of the first emperor.
What's the matter, do you look down on her empress so much?
The eunuch next to him has been with the empress for twenty years, so he naturally knows what the empress is thinking.
As soon as I rolled my eyes, I had an idea.
"Master, I don't think he necessarily looks down on you."
This Li Yuan Li Gonggong first picked up the fold on the ground, and then said.
"Master, look, a few months ago, the parents of Zheng Xiu's hometown were forced to death by the descendants of the Shoufu family because of a confused account."
A red fold was presented to Ji Qing's table by Gonggong Li.
"Xu made this Lord Zheng confused because of this incident, and wrote such a copy of "Ten Sins" overnight."
Gonggong Li said and took out a wind assessment of Zheng Xiu.
"This is the wind evaluation test of Lord Li, everyone said that the previous Lord Zheng was a responsible person, he must have been really stimulated, and he wanted to leave a clear name before he died."
When the empress heard Gonggong Li say this, she re-read the red note.
"This Shoufu is really excessive, the first emperor is dead, but I haven't died yet, if I don't still need him, he won't be enough to die ten thousand times."
"Also, don't I give subsidies to those people from within, what else does he Zheng Xiu want, do you want me to kill Shoufu and apologize to him."
Ji Qing was a little angry, in the end, she had just taken the throne.
She also wants to govern the country well, and she also wants to take care of what her father left behind.
But there is too much resistance and too much, even if she has actually achieved the second grade...... It's just a 20-year-old girl.
