Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 608 14 years later (second update)

Time flies by like water, and in a hurry, 14 years have passed, and the time has come to the spring of the 13th year of Daxi Xianwu.

On this day, the spring rain was continuous, the sky was thundering, and the dazzling silver light pierced the sky. Under the silver light, the majestic Luoyang, the capital of the gods, appeared before the eyes.

Under the night sky and in the drizzle, the layout and architecture of the capital of God have changed a lot from the Luoyang where a grand military parade was held 13 years ago, and the most dazzling one is a huge statue that is at least twenty feet high , standing not far from the palace, is a sculpture of an emperor with a long sword in his hand. It looks majestic and extremely noble. Under the sculpture, there is a huge square. The palace group emerged.

I saw that even though it was raining, there were still many soldiers guarding the square with umbrellas.

At the entrance of the main hall, a majestic minister suddenly came out with two subordinates. After looking at the statue, the minister said solemnly: "Go and ask Si Tianjian, when will the rain stop, in a few days." It is His Majesty's 44th birthday, and every time this time comes, His Majesty will come to Zhonglie Pavilion to pay respects."

"promise!"

"Also, as soon as the rain stops, order the artisans to check the statue of the emperor immediately, and there will be no problems at all," the minister ordered again.

"promise!"

"Boom"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of thunder. The minister's heart trembled, and he frowned and said: "This terrible weather has made people panic. It seems that something is going to happen."

At this moment, in the magnificent and magnificent Daming Palace, which has commanded Daxi for fourteen years.

"Decree Jin Wang Yuanxuan, beheaded, beheaded to make a decision"

After an extremely angry voice sounded, inside and outside the Huagai Palace, countless servants and maids knelt down in panic.

"promise!"

. . . . .

In a luxurious mansion in Shendu, the lights were brightly lit. In the main hall at this time, a man in his fifties with a long beard was anxiously walking around.

Following the sound of hurried footsteps, a butler rushed in with a pale face.

"King Jing, what do you say?" The bearded man asked anxiously after seeing the person coming.

"Master, Jing, King Jing, said that His Majesty already knew about it, and just scolded him angrily this morning. Not only can he not control this matter, even his eldest brother, King Yan, dare not control it. Let you ask for blessings." The butler shuddered.

"What?" The bearded man's eyes froze, and his whole body wobbled.

"Master," the housekeeper hurriedly supported him.

"I'm sorry! I really shouldn't accept the temptation of his Guishuang envoy!" the man with long beard said regretfully.

At this time, the door was suddenly knocked open, and a large number of mighty soldiers poured into the mansion. Following the sound of light footsteps, a man who looked like Yuan Xi when he was young, tall and straight, with a heroic appearance A paper umbrella slowly walked in. The dragon-patterned royal robe on the man's body was extremely eye-catching.

When the long-bearded man took a closer look and saw that frosty face, his legs became weak immediately, and he tremblingly said: "Jin, King Jin"

After Yuan Xuan came to the main hall step by step, he handed the umbrella to the side.

"Governor Wang, did you see that this king doesn't even show courtesy?" Yuan Xuan asked lightly.

"I dare not, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness King Jin," the bearded man immediately knelt down and said.

Yuan Xuan didn't let him get up, and after coming to the main seat to sit down, he asked without a trace of emotion: "Governor Wang is Xianwu's four-year proctor!"

Wang Li, after the imperial examination system, was a flower in Xianwu for four years. Since he became an official, he has been promoted step by step because he is smart, capable, honest and self-confident. In the tenth year of Xianwu, he was promoted to governor and took over Liu Fang's class. Commander Xuzhou Mansion.

"Really, everything is due to your majesty's kindness, long live your majesty, long live your majesty," Wang Li said with sweat on his face.

"Since you know that everything is the grace of the father, you should serve the country faithfully, and you dare to secretly buy the first product of the imperial pigeon to the Guishuang envoy. You should know that the imperial pigeon is my Daxi's sharp weapon. According to father's order, whoever moves will die," Yuan Xuan suddenly said coldly.

Wang Li was startled, and immediately kowtowed: "Prince Jin, I don't have any, I don't have any!"

"No, Jin Yiwei has already checked clearly. You sold two imperial pigeons to Guishuang for 30 gold. Do you think you can hide it?" Yuan Xuan knocked on the table and stood up.

Wang Li's pupils shrank, and his face turned pale.

"Pull it out and cut it," Yuan Xuan ordered.

"promise!"

After the two Shenwei rushed in, they immediately arrested Wang Li, and Wang Li immediately shouted in fear: "Prince Jin, I am wronged, I am wronged!"

Soon, as a cavity of blood was sprinkled on the open space, everything gradually calmed down.

Not long after, a young literati came to Yuan Xuan and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, why did you kill so quickly? Wang Li belongs to King Jing, and His Majesty was very impressed by the national Cuju competition held by King Jing the year before last." If you are satisfied, you will not only be happy with your full name, but you will also get a generous income, which will increase the income of the Ministry of Internal Affairs again, why not?"

Yuan Xuan's eyes widened, and the literati jumped in shock.

"How many times has this king said that the worst thing my father sees is that the sons are fighting each other, especially in this matter, once this king gets involved with the fifth younger brother, I guess the father will not only not be happy, but will hurt this king. Scold me," Yuan Xuan said seriously.

"The villain has lost his word"

After Yuan Xuan's attitude eased a little, he said with reverence on his face: "Since father pacified the world, he not only equalizes the land and protects the armor, but also vigorously encourages commerce, controls the Western Regions outside, reopens the Silk Road, and goes directly to the Guishuang Empire. In just 13 years, my Daxi has blossomed, all walks of life have flourished, the area of ​​cultivated land has exceeded 1000 million, the total number of households has reached 8000 million, the reserve army has reached 200 million, and the treasury has tens of millions of baht. This country is completely controlled by me, Daxi, and Qin Han, which Daxi has completely surpassed, and all of this is due to the credit of my father."

"Your Majesty is one person through the ages, and no one can compare with him," the literati immediately said loudly.

"Yes, so it's okay to fight in private, but if you want to use this to play tricks in front of the father and establish a big position, that's a joke. Didn't you realize that the big brother's layout has already advanced towards the Western Regions? His next The target is probably the ambitious Guishuang Empire, which controls more than a dozen countries in the Western Regions and has tens of millions of people," Yuan Xuan said in a condensed voice.

"It's strange to say that, King Yan doesn't seem to pay much attention to Daxi's internal affairs, so he's not afraid," the literati said.

"Because the elder brother is smart, he is probably the first prince to see the father. The father is not only the emperor through the ages, but also the number one master in the past and present. He has a long life. Instead of wasting time waiting for that goal, it is better to go first." Work hard," Yuan Xuan sneered.

"Then, my lord, shall we also march into the Western Regions?" the literati tentatively asked.

"No! At present, this king is not qualified to compete with the eldest brother. He has Zhou Buyi in Wen, and Wang Meng in Wu. Moreover, the Guishuang Empire already has millions of soldiers because of me, Daxi. It is indeed very strong, and the power of this king is not enough. , but the Western Regions are not good, the king will go overseas. The governor of Jinglu Mansion, Han Zheng, has been in poor health for the past few years, and has already submitted his resignation. Take down the place of pleasure for the rich first," Yuan Xuan said firmly.

"Jinglu is indeed a good place. If you control it, you can even have a relationship with Gan Shuai, but I heard that Han Wang also likes it. He is Han Zheng's son-in-law," the literati worried.

The corner of Yuan Xuan's mouth twitched, and he said, "Then each depends on his ability."
