Chapter 540 Emperor Ying's Operation (asking for monthly ticket)

Jiang Su is not here today.

Qin Yulong is not here.

Jiang Yuan suddenly felt happy and refreshed physically and mentally——

As for Yuwen Lie, although he was in the imperial court, he claimed to be ill and refused to go on the expedition. Even though Jiang Yuan knew that he was really arrogant and rude, he also understood that Yuwen Lie would not appear outside during this period of time.

Apart from Wei Yiwen, there was really no one with any power that could stop him. At the beginning, Jiang Yuan could still pretend to be a sage and deal with the ministers and officials.

Suddenly one day I got up late, and I was frightened and my steps hurried.

I was just thinking about it in my heart.

Today the Grand Tutor will definitely blame me!
Passing by the palace gardens, he saw the autumn scenery and the sunshine, and suddenly realized something. He paused and said to himself, "Now that Jiang Su is not here and Yuwen Lie stays indoors, only Wei Yiwen, the old man, will say a few words to me."

"I am the Son of Heaven. How can I, like the Son of Heaven, condescend to be humble and work hard every day?"

"That's absolutely not true!"

So he walked into the courtyard, laughing and playing with his beauties and concubines, and spent the whole day without realizing it. Wei Yiwen was actually worried - the Qin Emperor was really difficult to deal with, with the courage and means of a founding emperor, and could be regarded as the number one figure in the world.

Such a person came to the border and took the initiative.

The strategy used was exactly the one used against the King of Qin back then. It was an open conspiracy. Even a figure as strong as the military god Jiang Su, who was invincible on the battlefield, would still suffer losses when facing such a conspiracy.

Without him——

If we don't stop the King of Qin, he will march straight in.

By then the land will be occupied.

Stopping the King of Qin was equivalent to exchanging Jiang Su, the military god who had the strongest martial arts and the most prestigious reputation in the court, for help in another sense. If any problems arose in the court, Jiang Su would be powerless to stop them even if he was at the front line.

When the tactics that were prepared against the Qilin Army, a force with only one core, fell on him, he finally knew what pain was.

Today, there are layers of battle reports coming from the front line, as well as things that need to be dealt with.

Wei Yiwen and the other officials waited outside for several hours, but the emperor still did not arrive. The great scholar and prime minister became angry and stopped a eunuch and asked, "Where is the emperor?"

The eunuch replied: "I don't know..."

Wei Yiwen was finally furious. He shook the eunuch off and strode out of the palace. Using the Confucian art of divination, he saw the emperor enjoying himself with beauties in pavilions and waterside terraces. The overlord who occupied half of the world covered his eyes with the veil around the woman's waist and just opened his arms to hug her.

Even though Wei Yiwen had experienced many ups and downs in officialdom, his face turned cold at this moment.

"Hahahaha, where are you going, where are you going!"

"What a beautiful lady, she is so well behaved, she knows to be here, waiting for me!"

Jiang Yuan laughed loudly, opened his arms, and hugged the person in front of him. He raised his hand and grabbed the veil in front of him, laughing arrogantly: "Hahaha, beauty, beautiful beauty, why don't you say anything...you..."

His smile froze.

Seeing the solemn and dignified old man in front of him, he felt a little scared for a moment. He took a few steps back and said, "... It turns out to be the Prime Minister."

Wei Yiwen's eyes swept around, and the women who were playing and laughing with the emperor all looked frightened and bowed and retreated. Jiang Yuan felt a little bored, and Wei Yiwen's face turned cold. He said, "Why doesn't your majesty speak?!"

The old minister was heartbroken and said, "Your Majesty, the safety of the world can change suddenly in an instant. You don't use your mind to focus on national affairs, but on the body of a woman. How can you abandon the country for a woman?!"

Jiang Yuan looked respectful on the surface, but he was still unhappy in his heart.

Therefore, he secretly hated Wei Yiwen.

Then he said to the Guanglu Doctor Guo Yanjun: "I am the Son of Heaven, I rule the world, how can I be humiliated by this old man!"

Guo Yanjun said yes, and then said that all the officials in the court were loyal ministers and generals, and they should all be loyal to the country and share the worries of Your Majesty. So he advised the emperor to hold court once every five days, and only need to go to court once every five days to deal with miscellaneous matters, saying:
"It is useless to the previous emperor, and my hard work is in vain."

Jiang Yuan seemed amused and threw a fruit over casually.

Guo Yanjun knelt on the ground, holding the fruit, and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the holy fruit!"

Jiang Yuan said: "Why is it a holy fruit?"

Guo Yanjun said: "Your Majesty is a saint, the Son of Heaven. Wherever you go, the gods protect you and all evil cannot invade you. You are a saint. Everything you touch has the aura of the saint and the Son of Heaven. For a prisoner like Wei Chen, it is a holy fruit."

Jiang Yuan was smart enough to know that Guo Yanjun was just flattering him.

But he was arrogant by nature. Now that he was the ruler of a country and controlled half of the world, he felt that everything in the world was under his control. He just laughed and scolded the minister for being a flatterer and didn't care.

In the beginning, Jiang Yuan pretended to be virtuous and was quite strict with himself, but now that he holds the throne, Qin Emperor Li Guanyi is stopped by Grand Tutor Jiang Su. Although he is worried, Jiang Su is old after all and may not be a match for Qin Emperor.

So at the beginning, I made up my mind not to slack off.

To build achievements just like our ancestors.

Go down in history.

However, because no one was looking after him, and the threat from the King of Qin was fading away, and because of Guo Yanjun's persuasion that "just take a rest today, there is no need to work hard and waste your years", his defenses were gradually lowered.

Of course there was no five-day schedule at the beginning.

However, he found that the files he dealt with every day in court were extremely boring, and although Li Guanyi's military was extremely strong, he could not break through Jiang Su's defense line no matter what. The world is so big, and it is said that there are 200,000 troops, but in fact every battle involves thousands or tens of thousands of people.

For a mighty country like Daying, there is no pressure at all to support the logistical supply of such an intense battlefield.

Leave all matters on the front line to Jiang Su and you can rest assured.

So gradually, he attended court once every three days, once every five days, and even once every seven or eight days. Wei Yiwen was so angry that his face turned pale, but he could still barely endure it. At first, Jiang Yuan only played with women in the court.

But he soon got tired of all these things.

Before this, he was a prince of a country, and he was used to enjoying all kinds of delicacies, beauties from all directions. If he became an emperor and still enjoyed these things, then wouldn't he have ascended the throne in vain? !
That year was September of the second year of Daye.

Qin Emperor Li Guanyi and Daying State Grand Tutor Jiang Su fought fiercely at the border.

The two fought but there was no winner.

Li Guanyi retreated without fighting and frequently moved his position. At the same time, he took the Qilin Army scout general, Nangong Wumeng, to travel around and dig out the buried treasures in the territory of Ying State.

Nangong Wumeng laughed: "Are you crazy about money?"

"How can it be……"

Nangong Wumeng went out for a walk at the end of September and accidentally entered a canyon. He saw a lot of minerals and the Qilin Army stationed there. They started mining right under Jiang Su's nose. They dug up the mines from Ying State, transported them back, cast them into arrows, and then fought against the people of Ying State.

Even with Jiang Su's state of mind, there was still a hint of anger.

The King of Qin fought fiercely and was never defeated.

In response to Emperor Jiang Yuan's request, Yang Da, the Minister of State, and Wen Kai, the Chief Architect, were summoned to build the palace. Two million men were sent every month to build it, from Zaojian in the south to Luobin in the north. Rare materials and stones were brought from the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Five Ridges to build the palace. Fine trees and rare grasses, rare birds and beasts were also sought throughout the country to fill the gardens.

Jiang Yuan still maintained his accustomed way of slowly expanding outwards.

Naturally, he also wanted to go out and show off his power.

But his mind was still clear, and he knew that he should not do such a thing, so he just mobilized the civilians and the logistics manpower that was still spare at the moment to go and excavate the palace, intending to gather all the wonders of the world in the imperial palace.

When Wei Yiwen reprimanded him, Jiang Yuan just said:
"I only built a temporary palace, and I didn't waste any money. Is there any king in the world who has never built a palace?!"

"Even the late emperor had built many palaces, and he even built the Zhaixing Tower for my mother. If the late emperor could do it, why can't I?! Now that I have become the emperor of the Great Ying Kingdom, the emperor of the people, can't I enjoy myself?"

"Does it mean that I, the emperor, have to obey your orders?"

"Otherwise, Prime Minister Wei, you will take the throne!?"

"What do you mean by self-denial? Is there any king in the world who doesn't build palaces and wonders to show the majesty of the emperor and the dignity of the country?!"

Wei Yiwen was so angry that his hands were shaking.

The old minister blurted out: "Emperor Qin!"

As soon as the words came out, Wei Yiwen realized that something was wrong - to His Majesty Jiang Yuan in front of him, the two words "Emperor Qin" were like a taboo. Just mentioning them would cause Jiang Yuan's mood to fluctuate violently.

Contrary to Wei Yiwen's expectations, Jiang Yuan's expression calmed down.

Those eyes looked at Wei Yiwen and said:
"Prime Minister Wei seems to think highly of that evil emperor."

"In that case, why don't you go to Jiangnan and join the army of that evil emperor!"

Wei Yiwen's back was wet. He remained silent for a long time and just said:

"The old minister dare not."

But he knew that if he said this, he would no longer be able to persuade the emperor from the position of an old minister. He sighed and said, "But the palace and garden built by Your Majesty are too large and too luxurious."

"It uses too much manpower and is a waste of money and effort."

Jiang Yuan was surprised: "A waste of time and money?!"

He smiled, and the seemingly beautiful emperor swept his sleeves and said lightly:

"Prime Minister, don't you know? The busy autumn farming season is over."

"Spring ploughing hasn't even started yet, so how can these few months be considered a labor of labor?"

"Idleness is also idleness."

These six words were like a sharp sword that made Wei Yiwen stop. He seemed to have caught a glimpse of the true inner qualities of the new emperor who was known for his virtue from these six words.

Wei Yiwen began to feel a little uneasy.

After Wei Yiwen left, the Minister of Internal Affairs Yu Shiji said:

"Back then, Prime Minister Wei valued Mr. Pojun very much. Now we know that Mr. Pojun is the [strategist] whom the King of Qin regarded as his best friend when he was young!"

This casual remark made Jiang Yuan even more displeased with Wei Yiwen.

He began building the palace in September.

It gradually grew bigger and bigger, and ordinary wonders could no longer satisfy him.

In the third year of Daye.

It was also the beginning of the third year of the Qin Emperor's reign. The Qin Emperor seemed to be at a stalemate with Jiang Su. Even during the New Year's Day, the Horse Emperor refused to go back. In the heavy snow in the dead of winter, he wore an ink-colored cloak and pointed at Jiang Su and cursed him.

When I got home tired, I opened my mouth and took a bite, which was a slightly blackened toasted bun.

The corners of Li Guanyi's mouth twitched.

The silver-haired girl looked at him quietly, pointed at the buns, and said without showing any emotion, "There is honey."

Li Guanyi grinned and saw the little Qilin lying there with his hands on his belly and his limbs spread out. It was obvious that he had been through something.

Li Guan ate Yaoguang's homemade steamed buns without changing his expression.

"good to eat!"

The silver-haired girl's eyes curved slightly.

Then he brought down a huge package and opened it. The buns inside were piled up like a small mountain. The silver-haired girl stood there with no expression on her face, her body swaying slightly. Li Guanyi had been with her for ten years.

I know this means Yaoguang is in a good mood.

But looking at so many baked buns, Qin Huang and Qilin's hearts sank a little.

The silver-haired girl raised her hand and rolled up the sleeve of her left arm.

Then roll up your right sleeve.

But during this movement, the left sleeve slipped down.

This happened three times. Li Guan gave Qilin a look, and the little Qilin got up. Li Guan said, "Let me help you get up."

The silver-haired girl blinked and held out her arm.

Li Guanyi was much taller than her. He bent down slightly, rolled up the girl's sleeves a few times, stabilized them, and then folded the sleeves on this side. At the gate of the camp, the corners of the mouth of a certain purple-eyed strategist twitched and drooped.

Yaoguang, white hair!
You are so despicable!
The silver-haired girl thought about it, reached out and held Li Guanyi's arm.

A pair of clear and quiet eyes looked at Pojun calmly.

I thought about it.

He raised his chin according to the records in the Jianghu storybook.

Mr. Pojun: “…………”

There were bursts of fragrance in the air. It was Qilin who took the opportunity and used the Qilin Fire to bake all the buns. The skin was slightly yellow with cracks, and the taste was crisp, but the inside was soft. One baked bun had three tastes.

Yaoguang successfully forced Qilin to develop extremely specialized cooking skills.

Qilin's potential is huge.

For example, if the little Qilin knew that he wanted to eat all the baked buns baked by Yaoguang himself, he could prepare three dishes and a soup overnight.

No two are the same!

It was already winter, before the New Year. Li Guanyi asked Feiying to bring meat supplies from the rear. Everyone went out to look for stones and then built camp stoves in the open space in the middle of each camp, set up a big pot, broke the ice on the surface of the river, and took out water.

Chop up large pieces of meat and cook them with various root vegetables.

A big pot of steaming hot and fragrant aroma.

The Qin Emperor ate and drank with his soldiers and officers. Then he held his spear and sang loudly. The officers and soldiers of the three armies clapped their hands and shouted in unison. Finally, the sound of the three armies singing together resounded through the winter sky. Everyone laughed and was extremely enthusiastic.

Although these soldiers felt a little regretful that they could not go back home during the New Year.

But His Majesty the Emperor Qin was right here, right in front, eating meat with them and staying here with them, so no one was dissatisfied.

The Emperor Qin is still here, what complaints do they have? !
Lead by example, that's all.

Simultaneously.

Emperor Ying built the Western Garden, with a circumference of 200 li; inside it was the sea, with a circumference of more than ten li; there were mountains such as Fangzhang, Penglai, and Yingzhou, which were more than a hundred feet above the water. There were terraces and palaces on the mountains, which looked like gods.

To the north there is the Longlin Canal, which winds its way into the sea.

Along this waterway, there were sixteen courtyards, all with gates facing the canal. Each courtyard was headed by a lady of the fourth rank, and the halls, pavilions, and pavilions were extremely gorgeous. Because it was winter, the leaves of the trees had fallen, so they cut colorful silk into leaves and decorated the branches. Once they faded, they were immediately replaced with new ones, making it always feel like spring.

All the beauties in the sixteen courtyards stripped off their clothes, hoping to win the favor of His Majesty.

What a luxurious and licentious thing.

But soon, Jiang Yuan got bored of this kind of game. When he saw that one of his uncles' wife was beautiful, he found an excuse to demote that uncle to a commoner.

He also asked the eunuch to bring a golden box, sign the seal himself, and give it to his wife.

When the lady saw it, she was terrified, thinking it was highly poisonous and dared not open it.

The eunuch urged them several times before they opened the box. They saw several love knots in the box. This kind of thing was quite popular in the palace. They all knew what it meant. The palace maids breathed a sigh of relief and said happily:

"You're saved from death!"

The lady opened her mouth and sat down, refusing to thank His Majesty or accept his majesty's orders.

The palace ladies pressed on together, forcing the lady to kowtow and express her gratitude.

That night, Your Majesty went to bed.

The next day, the lady jumped into a well and committed suicide.

Jiang Yuan didn't care. He just wore a gorgeous dress, rode a fine horse, and walked through the luxurious garden he had opened. He felt relaxed all over and said to Guo Yanjun beside him, "Now I understand the courage and pleasure of being a king!"

"No one in this world dares to disobey me, and no one dares to say no to me."

"This is the greatest pleasure that surpasses all other extravagant enjoyments!"

In fact, he didn't have much attachment to that lady.

Jiang Yuan was simply obsessed with the feeling of crushing secular rules with a violent and powerful attitude, allowing his power and violence to override others and trample on the dignity of others.

Is this the feeling of an emperor?
Li Guanyi, are you addicted to this feeling?

The Imperial Censor Guo Yanjun suddenly said something as if nothing had happened, "I heard that General Qin Yulong's wife, Xue, is the second daughter of Xue Daoyong, and Xue Daoyong's granddaughter Xue Shuangtao and that thief emperor were childhood sweethearts."

"It also has great prestige in the military."

"Famous generals like Yue Pengwu and Yue Qianfeng are all very impressed by her. They think that even if Li Guanyi is a little famous and has stolen the throne, then Xue Shuangtao will be the empress of the thief emperor."

Jiang Yuan said nonchalantly: "So what."

"Hey, think about it."

Guo Yanjun came forward and smiled ambiguously: "If the Emperor Qin marries Xue Shuangtao, then the Emperor Qin Li Guanyi will have to call Madam Xue aunt. Hey, Qin Yulong is not here at the moment..."

Jiang Yuan realized something.

My heart suddenly felt hot.

He liked the pleasure of exercising power arbitrarily and trampling on order to fulfill his own value, but he still had some brains and knew what not to do. Now that the general was guarding the border, it would be wrong for him to do such a thing.

So he said, "Don't say anything more!"

"General Qin Yulong is guarding the country, how can you do such a self-destructive thing!"

So Guo Yanjun knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is a wise and virtuous emperor! Compared with Your Majesty, I am almost like a mean little man who looks up at the sun and only sees the light in his eyes."

"Your Majesty, you are a saint!"

Jiang Yuan was a little angry before, but now he could only smile helplessly and said, "You can talk!"

One day, Guo Yanjun had an idea. Knowing that the emperor had some feelings for Madam Xue, he gathered a group of people and planned to bring Madam Xue into the palace to meet the emperor.

At that time, Your Majesty will have an idea and will be able to express his happiness.

If His Majesty is happy, he will have power and wealth.

As for Qin Yulong’s anger?
He shrugged it off.

Ha, he is just a divine general of the Eighth Heaven. What's the use of the title of divine general? The world is so big, and without the army and the support of national strength, the general of the Eighth Heaven is just a warrior of the Eighth Heaven.

Guo Yanjun led a group of people to the Qin Mansion and brought a group of imperial guards to General Qin's mansion. He looked panic-stricken and said that the emperor had ordered that he heard that General Qin Yulong had encountered a disaster on the front line and asked Madam Xue to go there quickly.

Xue Peijun's face suddenly changed, but she was Xue Daoyong's daughter after all, so she said:

"Do you have any military intelligence? Please show it to me."

Guo Yanjun was stunned.

Unexpectedly, this woman could remain calm after hearing such news. However, she immediately started to lie, saying, "The information is in the palace. General Qin Yulong and I are officials in the same court. How could I lie to you?!"

"Madam, please come!"

Xue Peijun's mind raced, and he knew something was wrong. When the man came to grab him, he pulled out his dagger and cut Guo Yanjun's sleeve and arm in one stroke. Blood flowed everywhere. Xue Peijun stepped back and said, "Traitor!"

"My husband has fought so hard for the country, what do you want to do?!"

"Do you want to alienate the emperor and his generals?!"

However, there is no world in Guo Yanjun's eyes.

He said with a smile: "The world? Courage? I really don't care about these things. I have heard too much about them. I was able to get promoted and become rich so quickly because I only know one thing, that is, the world belongs to your majesty."

"If His Majesty is happy, I will be promoted and get rich. If His Majesty is unhappy, I will not get any benefit."

"I don't care what kind of famous general you are. I just want His Majesty to be happy. Madam, please!"

"Please dress your majesty well. It would be better if you can use the southern slang and the Jiangnan tone..." He stretched out his hand to grab Xue Peijun's arm, but the next moment, he was startled and felt his right arm numb and cold.

There was a bloody explosion in the sight.

Then I saw my arms flying up and falling down.

The little finger is still twitching.

Guo Yanjun was unable to react and just stared at that place blankly. Then he realized what had happened. His face was distorted and he covered his broken arm, screaming and howling in agony.

The rest of the royal guards also fell in a pool of blood.

Xue Peijun held the dagger in his hand, staring at the scene in a daze.

The air is low and windy.

The solemn and murderous intent enveloped all around, breaking the solemnity of the scene.

The sound of steel is solemn and murderous.

With his spear against the ground, the cold and aloof general in casual clothes walked slowly in from the gate of the Qin Mansion. His pair of ink-colored boots stepped on the pool of blood as he walked along the white road in front of him. When he passed by Guo Yanjun, a close minister of the emperor, he did not even glance sideways.

Guo Yanjun's eyes turned red and he said, "You, what are you doing?!"

"You dare to hurt me, you dare..."

The sound of the heavy spear breaking through the air was sharp, and the long spear directly pierced Guo Yanjun's neck.

A flick of the wrist.

The neck was torn apart and blood splattered on the ground without reaching the sleeves of the robe.

There was the deep roar of a white tiger.

The general's expression was cold and indifferent, and he didn't even look at him.

Yuwen Lie.
