Chapter 3: The Truth About Daxu

Once upon a time, Daxu's Splendid Street was a paradise for nobles, wealthy merchants, and important ministers.

Those high-ranking officials and powerful gentry like to come here to buy things or have fun.

Daxu's splendid street has kept the city shining for nearly 300 years.

In the past 20 years, everything has changed, and everything that was once vast and quiet in Daxu has become a mess.

The shops on both sides of the street have long been closed, and there are few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally a few dogs can be heard barking.

Li Yuan sat on horseback, looking at the familiar but unfamiliar bustling street in front of him, and only felt a sigh.

How lively Daxu was back then, it can be described as busy and bustling! No one could have imagined that the originally peaceful and peaceful Daxu had become so bleak in this short period of time.

Human nature is also exposed at this time, and greed, ambition, and lust make everyone crazy.

Due to the lack of revenue from the treasury, the heroes occupied the military power, so that the Beijing division was besieged.

The world is in turmoil, the people are struggling and miserable. Li Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger churning in his chest, and rode his horse into the streets, he had to figure out the current situation as soon as possible before he knew how to deal with the next situation.

。。。。

。。。。

The extreme poverty and suffering in the township made the people sigh at the declining glory, reminisce about the past, and sigh.

Heroes and heroes once fought bloody battles to save their home and country from extinction.

They failed, because the emperor was mediocre, and they had to give up hope and turn their allegiance to the new king.

But for a while, it still can't turn things around, change the fate of rise and fall, and let the people return to a stable life.

At this time, someone came up with an idea: rebellion.

It was a ridiculous plan, but it worked, and most of the gentry were slaughtered, leaving only a small remnant to survive.

This is Daxu. The truth of Daxu is far more complicated than what Li Yuan sees...

Walking on Splendid Street, the street shops are sometimes bustling and sometimes quiet.

There is the most elegant inn there, the elegant appearance is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the soft lights are scattered high and low, like shining stars, which makes people enjoy a peaceful and comfortable mood, which is pleasing to the eye.

However, it doesn't seem to be so rosy.

"Little boy? To eat dumplings or not? ”

"Freshly baked flatbread, selling bread, selling bread!"

Inside an inn.

"Alright, alright! Please, sir, there are young and old people in the villain's family, and they all rely on this guy to live! ”

The man's name was stated to be thirty years old. His face turned pale, and it seemed that this job was his only livelihood.

"Let's go, let's go! Xiao Chen, I understand your family's distress, but today's world is too complicated, and no matter what, you can't avoid some difficulties. “

"But sometimes, in the face of difficulties, we can only work hard, hoping to get enough help to meet the challenges through our own efforts!"

"Therefore, when encountering a choice, we must face up to our responsibilities, be brave and persistent, have the courage to take responsibility, and use perseverance to make up for the lack of strength."

The innkeeper's bitter argument reluctantly accepted the statement.

The innkeeper's name is Wang Fugui, who is studious and his father is a wealthy businessman who died in exile during the mutiny.

Wang Fugui looked at the inn he had worked so hard to build, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and disbanded the guys, ready to sell the inn cheaply.

That Yang Hui really deceived people too much, relying on Yang Jiang's son, who was rampant and robbed.

It's hateful, but what can it be? Do you want to sue the officer?

In the first year of Dajia, in the splendid streets and rural farms, the green lights were not dim, and the drums shook the mountains and rivers.

"Knock" "Knock" "Knock"

Those familiar and unfamiliar drums made people's blood boil, and they couldn't wait to pick up their weapons and rush forward, shouting and roaring with them.

"Boom." "Boom." "Boom!"

The beat of the drum is like the heartbeat of a warrior, striking at people's deepest emotions and desires.

"Boom." "Boom."

Everything looks so good. However, this appearance is just an illusion.

In the evening, a grand ceremony was held in the palace.

The new emperor sits on a high platform overlooking the entire imperial city. Standing around him stood several civil and military officials and vassal kings from all over the country, who congratulated Emperor Pingyuan and praised the new emperor's benevolence and wisdom......

Even the one standing at the back was Wenchen.

These people were undoubtedly the most loyal subordinates of the new emperor, and they obeyed the emperor's words and did not dare to resist in the slightest.

"I have ascended the throne, but I have not yet swept away the traitors and governed the country. I feel extremely guilty, and tonight I specially invite you to discuss the best ways to govern the country. ”

Emperor Pingyuan's loud voice resounded in the sky, and everyone listened quietly.

They were all extremely intelligent people, and they knew the meaning of the new emperor's words.

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and there must be a perfect strategy."

"Long live Your Majesty, long live without borders......"

Everyone echoed and knelt at the feet of Emperor Pingyuan, saying "Long live!"

。。。

。。

After Yang Jiang received the award, he was arrogant, happy, and full of self-confidence. He became more and more arrogant, completely ignorant of modesty, and did not care about the eyes of others.

He often thought he was respected, and he was incomparable.

"Father, why are you so happy? It's been a long time since I've seen you so happy. ”

Yang Jiang stroked his beard, the servant next to him was taking off his official hat and court clothes, and Yang Hui had already pocketed the Huawei Inn and was about to ask for credit.

And Yang Hui grew up under the glory of his father since he was a child, and he wanted to do something when he was a child.

"Yang Hui." Yang Jiang looked at Yang Hui affectionately and said.

"My son is here." Yang Hui mistakenly thought that his father already knew that he had won the Huawei Inn, so he showed such excitement, so he was about to tell the matter in detail, but seeing that his father was expressionless, he didn't seem to hear it at all.

"As a father, I hope that one day, you can also grow into a tree by yourself, have some achievements, and no longer have the random temperament of childhood. I'm afraid that the troubled times in the world are approaching. ”

Yang Hui didn't say anything more, they looked at each other and smiled, and their satisfaction was infinite.

After Li Yuan received the system task, he wanted to contact Yang Jiang, but he didn't know where to start.

In court? Retreat? Private correspondence?

Apparently all denied.

So, Li Yuan remembered Gonggong Zhu, this is an absolute henchman!

Loyalty Level is maxed out!

"Your Highness, wherever there is an old slave to serve, there is no need. Even if His Highness asked the old slave to die, the old slave had no complaints. ”

Zhu's father-in-law, mother-in-law and mother said a lot of things, and in the past, this must have been impossible.

Zhu Gonggong has always liked to show loyalty with actions.

"Could it be? Is this the effect of being too faithful? ”

Li Yuan looked at Gonggong Zhu, and always felt that his relationship with him had changed from a friend to a master and a slave.

"In this way, Gonggong Zhu, you are very good, I already know."

Li Yuan had no choice but to say patiently.

"Get out of the palace, help me check Yang Jiang's details, and try to find out his weakness, beauty, money, or handle."

Li Yuan naturally couldn't get out of the other palace, and the bright and dark sides outside the palace were watching Li Yuan's trouble.

If Li Yuan runs away, it will be difficult to stop with Emperor Pingyuan's temperament if he doesn't wash the entire palace in blood!

"System? Are there any other tasks? ”

Li Yuan tried to understand the mechanism of the system, to tell the truth, how many of the abolished emperors of all dynasties died?

So? This shattered empire is in its twilight years.

Could it be that when King Song ascended the throne, he would be able to turn the tide?

Li Yuan thought that he would not succeed, so he had the problem just now.

"Host, there is!"

"What?" Li Yuan was excited.

"Complete the tasks released by the system and you can get rewards."

"This ......" Li Yuan frowned, of course he wanted to finish it, but how to do it?

"After the task is released, it must be completed within three days, otherwise it will be obliterated."

[Congratulations to the host, special quest drawn.] 】

[The system needs ten beautiful women, and 18 years old is preferred. 】

[Mission Failed: Obliteration]

Li Yuan was stunned, this task sounds like a game, but it will really kill people. And this kind of operation? This comes with the system?

[If the mission fails, the host will disappear forever.] Choose carefully. 】

"Bah, system? Are you serious? ”

System: Guess?

Li Yuan: "Get out!"

The system is offline. 】

"Hey, come back, you!"

"System? You give me back! ”

“……”

“……”

Li Yuan scolded for a long time, but the system did not react.

In the end, Li Yuan sighed, since it is a task that comes with the system, it must be executed.

Li Yuan was confused.

This task is simple and straightforward, there are no requirements at all, as long as you can recruit beautiful women, it's OK.

However, how is he going to recruit beautiful women?

Li Yuan suddenly realized that in order for him to welcome the system, where did he care if the system asked him to find ten beauties or ten samurai?

A few days later, he didn't expect that this task would make him think so hard, so he searched everywhere and spent a lot of time and energy.

He even asked the eunuchs for this reason, are there more beauties to recruit? It's a pity that every time the result is empty.

In the end, Li Yuan did not give up, he finally found ten beauties, and the task was successfully completed.

The system was silent for a moment, and said slowly: Congratulations on the approval of this system.

"What about the reward?"

"Nope."

Li Yuan almost vomited blood, he worked hard to complete the task, and the system actually told him that there was no reward? It's a joke for him!

"You lied to me!" Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said.

System: What do you say?

Li Yuan: ...... Well, fraud indeed!

System:......

"Someone." Li Yuan was angry, and for the first time he felt ridiculed.

The door creaked open.

"Lord Wang." A little eunuch stood in the doorway, his eyebrows lowered.

"This king remembers, how many beauties are there in the harem?" Li Yuan's indifferent face looked at the little eunuch at the door.

"Lord Qiqi, in addition to the queen's mother, there are still eight concubines left."

"It's okay, let's get out."

Li Yuan had no choice but to sit on the seat, thinking and contemplating and looking ahead......

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: all this is fleeting, and no one can grasp it......

Just like in this world, how many people are worried about the emperor of Daxu. Longing to occupy the throne of the emperor of Daxu?

Is it a hero, or is it reckless, in troubled times, what should Li Yuan do?
