Chapter 349 Jing Hongchen: I’ve been wronged again
Empire of the Sun and Moon.
"Just one night caused so much damage! What on earth do you do for food!?"
Above the court, Xu Tianran was furious!
At this moment, he was no longer hiding his cultivation, and his aura as a titled Douluo was clearly revealed. The overflowing aura of destruction made many civil servants tremble with fear and did not dare to speak at all. Because most of the civil servants didn't know what happened. They only knew that as soon as they woke up, the whole Ming Dynasty changed!
The old emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne; most of the Sun and Moon Palace was destroyed; the underground warehouse, arsenal, and Mingde Hall of the palace were stolen; the legions stationed in the southeast, northwest, and northwest were attacked, and even the legion commander, a ninth-level soul engineer, was Death... In the end, only the suspension of the Soul Fighting Competition is the smallest thing.
Anyway, now, the ministers involved in all the bad things happened are all keeping silent, for fear that the new emperor will catch them and take the blame.
Of course, some people who knew part of the inside story were gradually dissatisfied with Xu Tianran, the newly ascended emperor. If it weren't for your cunning operations, the empire's current situation would be like this.
On the dragon chair, Xu Tianran could see the expressions of the ministers at a glance.
But every step in the court is dangerous, and every minister is walking on thin ice. Therefore, even if some ministers or princes are dissatisfied, they will not show their expressions, otherwise it will be a recipe for death.
Xu Tianran stared at him without saying a word.
The ministers also bowed their heads and did not dare to look at him.
In this way, Xu Tianran's eyes became more and more dangerous. Until Kong Deming's return, the dull atmosphere in the court was broken.
"Your Majesty."
"Mr. Kong, how is the situation?" The fierce glare in Xu Tianran's eyes disappeared, and there was a hint of expectation in his tone.
Joy and anger are invisible,
It doesn't exist for him now.
However, Kong Deming shook his head and made Xu Tianran's heart sink to the bottom, and it was the kind that could not be salvaged no matter what.
"Although we intercepted them at the time, someone summoned thunder at the last moment, causing our ambush to fall short."
"In other words, all the soul guidance devices and fixed soul guidance shells of our Sun and Moon Empire were brought back safely by them?"
Kong Deming nodded and then fell silent.
At this time, Xu Tianran's heart was completely dead.
This means that they will never be able to start a war for at least ten years. And within fifty years, if a war breaks out, the Sun-Moon Empire and the three major empires will form a battle that will hurt both sides.
In other words,
It will take a hundred years to return to the previous favorable situation.
But a hundred years!
If Xu Tianran could really live for such a long time, I am afraid that half of his body would have been buried in the ground! And Mr. Kong, the Sun-Moon Empire's Dinghai Shenzhen who is closest to the tenth-level soul master, has also expired. Who in the next generation of the empire can inherit his mantle? There is no one left!
But what about the three great empires?
With their "gifts" from the sun and the moon, they began to pay attention to soul guides and made rapid progress. Plus those souls...
In the competition, Xu Tianran saw it clearly.
If it is allowed to continue to develop and form a huge scale, coupled with the cooperation with the soul guide, it will be enough to completely surpass them!
The most important thing is the next generation of the three empires.
Nine Treasure Glazed Sect, Shrek Academy, Noumenon Sect!
How many Extreme Douluo can be produced that use soul guides?
How many super Douluo can be produced that use soul guides?
After a simple thought, Xu Tianran didn't dare to think about it any more.
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly became sharp!
No matter what, the war must begin!
In addition to not being able to see the future of the Sun and Moon Empire, he also did not want to leave the achievements of unifying the continent to future generations!
If you really can't do it...
Then you don’t just want to be famous for eternity, but you also want to be infamous for eternity!
Therefore, "According to my decree, from now on, all chambers of commerce in this empire can vigorously develop military industry, but all manufactured soul guidance devices and fixed soul guidance shells must be sold to the empire."
"Your Majesty, no! If the Chamber of Commerce is allowed to develop arms, although the losses can be replenished as soon as possible, the empire's lack of control will inevitably lead to..."
As soon as Xu Tianran finished speaking the first item, a minister had already rushed out to oppose the decree that was about to be issued.
But Xu Tianran didn't even finish listening and just waved his hand.
"Drag it out and kill it!"
Suddenly, the entire court was shocked!
Although the ministers knew that this was the new emperor's attempt to scare the monkeys,...
Just when he objected, he was executed without even being charged! ?
Your Majesty, are you going too far to be the emperor? ?
However, Xu Tianran just glanced at it lightly, "This person is alarmist and wants to curse the empire into chaos. I must kill him!"
Intention, what a good intention.
The ministers bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.
"Secondly..."
Xu Tianran paused for a moment before speaking as usual.
"I have made peace with the three empires, and promised in my name that the Sun and Moon Empire will not wage war for a thousand years and coexist peacefully with all countries. As for the empire's development of arms, it is only to protect national defense. At the same time, The caravans are also communicating with each other again, but this independence must be maintained for thirty years!
Thirty years?
It’s difficult!
There was a sudden bitterness in the hearts of all the ministers.
The caravans are interconnected, but you are not allowed to rely on external resources. This will undoubtedly prevent many merchants in the empire from making big money.
Everyone is profit-seeking, and people's hearts are unpredictable.
If you don't make any money, you're losing money.
In this case, who is willing?
But now that His Majesty is like this, it is not difficult to do but can only be done!
After the decree was issued, Xu Tianran also began to investigate the incident. The first thing he did was to hold Xu Guozhong accountable. He couldn't be blamed for the theft of the arsenal!
So in addition to his title, he was directly beaten to the end.
In the end, I can only be an idle prince at home. The same is true for other royal relatives. After all, such a big thing happened in the empire, and every royal relative with responsibilities can be held accountable to some extent, so Xu Tianran was not polite at all, and dismissed them all. go home.
Everyone knows this behavior.
Xu Tianran was just worried that these powerful royal relatives would have other thoughts about this matter and then take action against the throne.
Therefore, let all the royal relatives idle at home.
In addition, Xu Tianran also punished other relevant ministers and promoted some ministers so that there would be no shortage of positions. After doing all this, he announced his resignation.
However, he left Xue Chen alone with Jing Hongchen.
"Your Majesty."
Jing Hongchen walked into Xu Tianran's study, feeling anxious.
He is worried about one thing right now.
I just hope that Xu Tianran will never mention it now.
But unfortunately, this is not what he wants.
"Lord of Hongchen Hall..."
Xu Tianran suddenly sighed, and then changed the subject.
"Do you still remember the promise you made to me?"
Coming!
Hearing this, Jing Hongchen secretly complained in his heart.
But on the surface, he pretended to be calm, "Remember."
"Well, just remember."
Xu Tianran nodded and seemed to be joking.
"I thought you wouldn't admit it."
"Your Majesty is joking."
Xu Tianran did not reply, but asked again.
"What about the person you promised to me?"
"People...this..."
Jing Hongchen opened his mouth to speak, but stopped abruptly after spitting out a few words. The bitterness in his heart was like eating three or four galls.
Where did he have the time not to arrest people? ?
Moreover, Xu Tianran personally gave his order to the army that rushed to the east of Mingdu. By the time the rescue was over, Shrek's men had already disappeared. What could he do?
He wanted to say these things but couldn't.
Because does Xu Tianran know?
Of course he knows!
But in the end, he still brought it up.
"You didn't catch it, right?"
Jing Hongchen had no choice but to admit his mistake.
"I am incompetent."
Xu Tianran turned around and looked at Jing Hongchen calmly, "In this case, you should also fulfill your promise."
"Your Majesty..."
Xu Tianran said: "The Master of Hongchen Hall, the then Crown Prince and the then Regent are also the current kings, and the king is no joke."
With just one sentence, Jing Hongchen swallowed it back.
Of course, Xu Tianran may make a promise.
If Meng Hongchen could give birth to a boy in his first child, he would promote Meng Hongchen to the rank of queen, and the Hongchen family would become relatives of the emperor, and they would also be allowed to live with the country.
Jing Hongchen left, taking heavy steps.
He knew very well why Xu Tianran changed his mind and made such a promise. It's just that the current political situation may not be favorable to him, and he needs strong supporters.
If Kong Deming fails, the Hongchen family becomes the first choice.
Not counting the Holy Spirit Cult, he ranks among the top three in strength in the Sun and Moon Empire, and his grandchildren are also the geniuses of the Sun and Moon Empire. Even if he grows old, there will still be successors in the Hongchen family.
It's a pity that his granddaughter has become a political resource.
"Alas - Meng, grandpa can't help you."
"Your Majesty."
After Jing Hongchen left, a figure appeared next to Xu Tianran in the study, it was Shadow Douluo Xuechen.
Xu Tianran's eyes were cold, "How did it go?"
"It's been arranged."
"Very good." His killing intent seemed to surge out of his body, "No matter what, I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!"
"Yes!"
Now that this is the situation, there must be spies among the ministers.
Therefore, Xu Tianran ordered Xue Chen to form a team with strong cultivation, equipped with the most advanced concealed soul guides, to monitor all the officials. No matter how big or small, there are no exceptions.
Behead first and report later, royal authority has granted!
Of course, he would not even let the royal family go.
Just not because they would be spies.
