Sheng Fu

Chapter 1093 Killing is the most appropriate course of action

Several days later, in the capital.

A light drizzle fell, and the capital city was shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

Although the view is clear, many subtle details are difficult to discern at a glance, much like the Emperor's current state of mind.

On the Flying Dragon Platform, the Emperor leaned lazily against his throne, and Xu Canghai brought him a cup of ginseng tea and presented it with both hands.

The Emperor glanced at the steaming ginseng tea in the teacup. Given his current injuries, drinking this ginseng tea wouldn't be very effective, but since it had been served, he would drink it.

He drank it down in one gulp without hesitation.

After indirectly advancing further in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, the Human Emperor's state of mind became increasingly magnificent and unrestrained. Although he was still no match for the God Emperor in a one-on-one fight, it would not be easy for the God Emperor to kill him.

Unbeknownst to many, it had become a formidable opponent among several monarchs.

But the thought that once the Demon Lord emerged from seclusion, he, the tough guy, would become a spineless coward again filled the Human Emperor with a sense of helplessness.

Among the monarchs, only the God Emperor and the Demon Lord have accumulated the most substantial wealth.

The Demon Lord, in particular, is the strongest monarch in terms of cultivation talent alone.

After Wan Xin of the Purple Gold Alliance was killed, it can be said that the Emperor has gotten rid of a major threat. However, how should we deal with the remaining forces of the Purple Gold Alliance?

"Now only Ji Zhongtian, Yang He, and Shen Jun remain as core members. Without a leader, if I were to personally lead the expedition, I could easily defeat them. But what should I do after that?" the Emperor asked Xu Canghai softly.

With Li Hongshan absent, Xu Canghai naturally became His Majesty's advisor.

His Majesty the Emperor was deeply conflicted.

Firstly, the Ji family in the north is deeply rooted and powerful. All the family members who enter officialdom are truly talented and learned. If the entire family is forcibly executed, it will inevitably cause internal instability and turmoil.

Over the years, the Ji family has indeed not done anything excessive.

Ji Zhongtian has been dead for many years in people's minds.

Although the Ji family was involved in the rebellion, Wan Xin has already been destroyed, and even if the Emperor makes the facts public, the other powerful families and clans probably won't believe it.

What the facts are doesn't matter at all; what matters is what people believe.

Sometimes, the methods used to silence public opinion are similar to the methods men use to deceive women.

Secondly, the remaining forces of the Purple Gold Alliance cannot be ignored. It would be a pity to kill them, but it would be better if they could be used for one's own purposes.

The essence of war is to expand resources, not to deplete them.

But the Emperor also felt that the remaining forces of the Purple Gold Alliance might not necessarily bow down to him.

There are only two reasons why people form alliances: first, they share common interests; second, they share common beliefs.

Killing between individuals can solve problems at their root, but killing between groups will only create more trouble.

Even if one massacres a city and destroys a country, one can only enjoy temporary glory, after which one will face a long period of recuperation.

Thirdly, most of the members of the Purple Gold Alliance are also human subjects. As the Emperor of Humanity, he should also maintain the demeanor of the Emperor of Humanity. This balance is something the Emperor of Humanity is really hard to grasp in a short time.

After pondering for a long time, Xu Canghai said, "That depends on how much value the Purple Gold Alliance has. If it has little value, then kill it; if it has great value, then we should try to win it over."

The Emperor asked, "If we are to kill, how should we do it?"

Xu Canghai's gaze was obscure. He lowered his head slightly and whispered, "Let Yuwen Jun do the killing. Just throw a few buckets of dirty water on him, and kill him forcibly, regardless of whether there is any evidence."

"In terms of winning people's hearts, no one in the human race can compare to Yuwen Jun." "Using him appropriately a couple of times won't cause any major harm."

"No matter what Yuwen Jun says, the common people will believe it. The sound of reading at Hengchang Academy is growing louder and louder. Under the new policy, even poor families have the opportunity to rise above others."

Therefore, we can only let Yuwen Jun handle this matter.

The emperor rubbed his nose, his smile somewhat eerie, his eyes flickering, and continued to ask, "What if we offer amnesty?"

Xu Canghai straightened his chest slightly and said with a firm gaze, "Even if they have great value, they must be killed."

"What if we suffer setbacks in future battles and find ourselves on the defensive, and the remnants of the Purple Gold Alliance rise from the ashes and once again rival His Majesty? Wouldn't that be a huge problem?"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor finally made up his mind.

"Kill!" The Emperor frowned slightly, his words leaving no room for doubt.

Xu Canghai then said, "Why don't we let Yuwen Jun make the final decision on this matter? If any complications arise or if public opinion becomes heated, Yuwen Jun can take full responsibility."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor looked up at the sky and said with a half-smile, "Yuwen Jun shouldn't be that stupid."

"If Yuwen Jun and I try to shift the blame for this matter, what will we do?"

Xu Canghai bowed slightly and said, "Wanxin's battle sword is comparable to the Emperor's sword. You can bestow Wanxin's Ziwei Blade upon Yuwen Jun. Coincidentally, that Empress's successor is also cultivating the Ziwei True Essence and is still lacking a divine weapon that resonates with the Ziwei True Essence. I think Yuwen Jun will not refuse this matter."

The newly crafted Purple Star Blade is truly a divine weapon of our time.

The emperor felt a little reluctant to part with it.

The Emperor originally planned to fuse the Purple Star Blade with the Emperor Sword after his injuries healed, and then reforge an even more invincible Emperor Sword.

Upon hearing Xu Canghai's words, the Emperor hesitated.

“Yuwen Jun still has great value, not only in the new policies, but also in the future, if a war breaks out, the Dragon Clan will be a force that cannot be ignored,” Xu Canghai said.

After pondering for a long time, the Emperor sat up and said with a strange smile, "As you say."

……

Hengchang Sect.

Upon his return, Yuwen Jun diligently handled daily government affairs, and suddenly became exceptionally virtuous, displaying the demeanor of a civil official.

The Demon Queen, after leaving the Chaos Space, immediately returned to Mount Minghun to recover from her injuries, and then returned to the Demon Realm to continue feigning illness. As for when she would recover, it depended on the needs of the situation.

Of course, this time Guangli continued to feign illness, and the Emperor in the far north no longer believed that Guangli was really sick.

But when it's time to put on an act, you have to.

These past few days have been peaceful, with nothing particularly significant happening.

Since the matter involved the remnants of the Purple Gold Alliance, Yuwen Jun was unable to express his own opinion; how to handle it was entirely up to His Majesty the Emperor.

After all, His Majesty has his own plans, and Yuwen Jun has his own plans, but sovereignty has always been in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, especially now, and he must not overstep his bounds.

Suddenly, a portal appeared in the Hengchang Palace of Yuwen Jun.

Within the portal, the true essence of Ziwei surged and raged.

Yuwen Jun snorted coldly and said, "It seems that His Majesty still has many things he is hesitant to do."

Regarding the Purple Gold Alliance, Yuwen Jun no longer wanted to get involved. The Emperor could handle it however he wanted. Yuwen Jun deliberately hid in Hengchang Sect and didn't go out, but the Emperor still specially opened a void passage for Yuwen Jun.
