"Report!"

"Your Majesty, there is a secret message from the Southern Family."

Not long after Yu Kezhi went down, Song Zhong, another deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, quickly walked into Lu Zihong's study with a secret letter.

"A secret letter from the Southern Family?"

Lu Zihong was stunned, he didn't expect that these families would take the initiative to write to him.

"Could it be that they have chosen to take sides and support themselves to regain the throne?"

Lu Zihong's heart moved, and his face was a little more happy.

After all, if it weren't for the support of him, there would be no need for the Southern Family to write to him specifically.

He immediately took the secret letter over and opened it to look at it, but when he saw the contents, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he roared angrily: "Southern family, dare to deceive me like this!" ”

When the sound fell, the aura of the peak of the innate Vajra Realm in his body suddenly burst out, and everything in the study was pressed under this momentum, and it was about to shatter when he looked at it.

The deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, who came to pay respects, made Song Zhong tremble even more under this momentum.

He never thought that Lu Zihong's strength would be so strong, just the momentum made it difficult for him, a martial artist in the early stage of the Innate Vajra Realm, to bear it.

"Whew!"

After a while, Lu Zihong forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and ordered in a cold voice: "Order, Jia Xu immediately leads the remaining iron horses of Yaochuan City back to Qiannan City, and there must be no delay." ”

"Order, Chu Heihu immediately led three thousand Danyang soldiers to march to Yaochuan City and be responsible for the defense of Yaochuan City."

"Order, order Ji Jia to immediately end the task of escorting the prisoners, go to Yaochuan City first, and summon the nearby Jinyi guards to be responsible for the defense of Yaochuan City before Chu Heihu arrives, and after Chu Heihu arrives, he will hand over the authority of the chief general to assist Chu Heihu in defending Yaochuan City."

"The order is that Huo Zhongshi will speed up the escort of the prisoners, and he must return to Qiannan City within two days."

"Violators will be dealt with by military law!"

"Yes!"

The deputy commander immediately gave the order.

After he left, Lu Zihong looked down at the secret letter from the Southern Realm Family in his hand, his face was full of cold killing intent, and said, "Southern Realm Family, you are forcing me to slaughter your clan!" ”

The conditions proposed by the Southern Realm Family, whether it was the feudal marquis or the salt and iron ore they proposed, were all shaking the foundation of the Northern Qin Kingdom in the southern realm!

Fenghou, according to the imperial law of the Northern Qin Kingdom, everything in the Hou Ye's fief belongs to the Hou Ye, and all are exempt from taxes, unless the Hou Ye participates in events such as rebellion, otherwise it is a permanent hereditary system, which is equivalent to becoming a country within a country!

Therefore, for so many years, even those generals who followed the founding emperor to fight the world back then were at most a county marquis and a thousand households.

In the following hundreds of years, no military general was named a real marquis, at most it was a false wait.

The difference between the two is that the real marquis has a food estate, and the virtual waiting only has the title honor and the year, and there is no food estate, so naturally there will be no honorable privileges, such as tax exemption and the like, and the virtual waiting is not a hereditary system, but three generations, and the title will automatically disappear after three generations.

The only exception is Lu Yanwu, the king of Anbei!

Because Lu Yanwu showed a strong martial arts talent and military general talent in the early years, the emperor at that time, that is, Lu Zihong's grandfather, gave him the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, and it was 100,000 households in Shiyi, as a reward for him.

Originally, the emperor planned to appoint Lu Yanwu as the crown prince, but due to the ancestral system of establishing the elder but not the young, he finally failed.

But it was this reward that caused Lu Yanwu to have strong military strength and become the first military general of the Northern Qin Kingdom, so that by the time Lu Zihong's father ascended the throne as emperor, he could no longer suppress Lu Yanwu, and finally had to choose to give him the title of king, and take most of the northern territory as his fief, so as to stabilize Lu Yanwu.

The final result is obvious, the measures of the former emperor are not only useless, but also breed Lu Yanwu's forces, so that there is the current rebellion of King Anbei!

And now, the family in the south keeps saying that they want to help him restore the country, but the request is to seal ten thousand households and eat 100,000 households, what do they want to do? Want to follow Lu Yanwu's old path again? Wait until decades later to rebel?

Not to mention that the Southern Family also demanded that all the salt and iron mines in the world be handed over to them to operate, and the Southern Family only needed to pay taxes to the kingdom every year!

You must know that the biggest income of the treasury of the Northern Qin Kingdom is salt and iron ore, once Lu Zihong agrees to this condition of the Southern Family, it is equivalent to handing over the treasury of the Northern Qin Kingdom to the Southern Family, so what will he do in the future, he needs to use the treasury money, doesn't it depend on the face of his Southern Family?

If it was Huaxia in his previous life, Lu Zihong might have agreed.

First use the power of your family to help you restore the country, and when you take control of the military power and regain the throne, you can only watch if you destroy the nine clans with your backhand!

Although it is immoral to cross the river and tear down the bridge, who is the emperor to teach you morality?

In his previous life, Zhao Kuangyin released military power with a cup of wine, wasn't this how he played?

But the point is, this is not Huaxia!

This is the Martial Spirit Continent!

In this world, the emperor's holy decree is for thousands of generations, and it cannot be changed!

Unless it was the Southern Realm family who openly rebelled, the emperor must not violate the content of the holy decree.

Once violated, there will be a heavenly punishment to descend on the world.

At first, such a statement was scoffed at by the emperors of various countries, but in ancient times, there was a huge dynasty that did not believe in evil, and the emperor decreed that several sects should be canonized, so that they could fight for themselves, and after the matter was completed, they would be crowned kings and marquis.

As a result, after the emperor repented, openly violated the holy decree, and sent the royal masters to kill the strong men of the sect, and finally three days after the strong men of these sects were killed, the heavenly punishment came to the world, and countless thunderbolts bombarded the palace, completely killing the members of the royal family, including the strong people of the land fairy realm of the royal family, none of them escaped, and a huge dynasty fell apart.

Since then, no emperor has dared to disobey his holy decree.

It was also since then that the Emperor's Decree was supreme and the Warrior's Oath was supreme, thus laying down the principle that the Martial Spirit Continent must abide by.

It's not that everyone has morality, but they are afraid of heavenly punishment!

In this world, an untrustworthy person like Sima Yi in the previous life who violated Luoshui's oath would not survive for three days at all!

Lu Zihong knew this, so he didn't dare to really implement the idea of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible to agree to such an unreasonable and hateful request of the Southern Family!

"Ding, host hatred detected, trigger mission: Slaughter!"

"Mission Description: The Southern Realm family carries the soldiers of the Southern Realm with the family, intending to shake the foundation of the kingdom, and the host, as the emperor of the Northern Qin Kingdom, should slaughter unscrupulous ministers and unscrupulous forces, and demonstrate the emperor's might!"

"The purpose of the mission: to slaughter two-thirds of the families in the south."

"Quest rewards: two normal summoning chances, two mysterious treasure chests, and thirty years of pure cultivation."

The system prompt sounded at the right time.

"Hehe, you know me."

Lu Zihong sneered and muttered, "Southern Family, now I have one more reason to slaughter your entire clan!" ”

However, no matter how angry he was in his heart, he didn't act rashly, he wanted to wait for Jia Xu to come back.

With this poisoner by his side, he naturally wanted to discuss it with him and determine the plan to slaughter the Southern Family!
