The old emperor only desires immortality; you must not rebel.

The King of Liang is about to flee!

As a veteran general with rich experience, he knew that if he was going to flee, he absolutely could not still be wearing this armor.

So the King of Liang quickly took off his armor.

Just as the King of Liang took off his armor and was about to exchange armor with his personal guards, a muffled thunderous sound suddenly came from above everyone's heads.

The sound came from afar and grew closer, then exploded overhead!

The King of Liang looked up in astonishment, gazing at the Holy Emperor who had sped across the sky and was now rapidly falling in front of him.

boom!

Smoke and dust scattered everywhere!

The Holy Emperor has flown over!

When the Holy Emperor throws out the halberd, and then catches it, one can briefly fly by riding the halberd.

The Holy Emperor's cloak fluttered in the wind!

Its towering figure resembles a jade pillar reaching to the sky.

The moment the Holy Emperor stood there, the Liang King's personal guards and soldiers immediately knelt down and began to kowtow repeatedly.

They had the courage to run away before the Holy Emperor appeared, but when the Holy Emperor arrived, their instincts told them that they should immediately kneel down and surrender.

The King of Liang, wearing shorts, stood in the cold wind, staring at the figure in front of him with a livid face.

"Royal Uncle."

Where are you planning to go?

Lu Cheng smiled broadly, a hint of mockery in his eyes, and lightly swung his halberd, flicking the severed head on it.

The King of Liang was stiff all over.

Lu Cheng shook his head and sighed, "Uncle, you're breaking the rules!"

"I have five thousand men against your seventy thousand, and you actually want to run away now."

The Holy Emperor was in a bad mood.

I haven't had my fill of killing yet!

"Bang!"

The King of Liang promptly knelt down.

"Your Majesty...nephew, if I told you I came to rescue you, would you believe me?"

The Holy Emperor looked down at him without saying a word, creating an eerie atmosphere.

"Your Majesty, I was foolish."

The King of Liang was filled with remorse, tears streaming down his face: "It was all those aristocratic families' fault, they deceived me!"

"They were the ones who encouraged me; I was just confused for a moment."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life for the sake of our relationship as uncle and nephew..."

Bang!

The Holy Emperor's golden mace struck the Liang King's head once more.

I won't listen!

I won't listen!

The Holy Emperor originally intended to reward the loser with the art of relocating his ancestral graves, but then he thought that if he moved his own ancestral graves, the trolls in the city would probably start cursing him for being unfilial.

With the Liang King's head exploding, everything came to an end.

The Liang King's army was completely defeated; some surrendered, some fled, and no one dared to oppose the Holy Emperor anymore.

The entire battlefield was a scene of utter devastation, with pieces of flesh and limbs scattered everywhere, resembling a true hellish inferno.

A scorching warm current flowed through my limbs and bones.

The Holy Emperor's power was constantly rising, and his entire body seemed to be filled with an explosive force.

At this moment, the emperor's white hair gradually turned black, and his aged face looked unusually youthful.

With the death of the King of Liang, the Holy Emperor also received his reward.

"Hahaha!"

The Holy Emperor's lips parted in a wide grin, revealing an excited smile.

His lifespan has been extended!

Although it has only been five years, he is already very satisfied.

The emperor's gaze fell upon all the surrendered soldiers, and his voice boomed.

"I, the Emperor, pardon your sins!"

"From this day forward, you will be the swords in my hand!"

"Pick up your knives and fight like men!"

"Whatever you want, I will give you!"

"I will lead you to restore the glory of Daqing!"

The Holy Emperor's talent began to be activated at this moment, unleashing a terrifying dragon's might.

Under the influence of this talent, all those who are subdued by the Holy Emperor will unconsciously submit to him.

The Liang King's army, kneeling on the ground, raised their heads and looked up at the figure riding a horse and standing on the mountain peak.

As rebels, they should have been executed along with their entire families, but the emperor has pardoned them.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

The victorious imperial guards began to shout and gallop across the battlefield on their warhorses.

The soldiers who once belonged to the King of Liang looked up at the Holy Emperor and began to shout.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live!"

……

The body of the King of Liang was hung on a flagpole.

News of the Emperor's great victory spread throughout the capital.

The displaced people on the streets cheered, while the aristocratic officials in the inner city wailed and wept bitterly.

Many officials were still dressed in white, preparing to wear mourning clothes for the emperor and put on a show of loyalty and filial piety.

The moment the Holy Emperor returned to the palace, all civil and military officials received news of the grand court assembly.

The Holy Emperor is about to instruct his officials on their work again.

Outside the palace gates, officials lined up and walked into the palace in turn.

At the very front stood the new prime minister of the Daqing Dynasty, striding confidently forward.

Behind him stood the six ministers.

Then came the civil and military officials, who filed in one after another according to their rank, each with a heart full of trepidation.

The tyrannical emperor is not dead, and at this time he suddenly convenes a court meeting. No one can guess what this tyrannical emperor is thinking.

Those who had private connections with the Prince of Liang were especially pale-faced at this moment.

The officials walked through the corridor and arrived at the gate of the Taiji Hall.

As the eunuch cracked his long whip three times, the officials began to enter.

The newly appointed prime minister strode confidently into the Taiji Hall, his head held high.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your great victory over the King of Liang!"

"Your Majesty's blessings are boundless, and your divine might shines upon all! This great victory over the rebel army is truly a cause for great celebration for us."

The ministers, listening to the prime minister's flattering words, inwardly cursed him.

Traitor!

"Traitor!"

"It is precisely because of these treacherous officials that my Great Qing has become like this!"

An official dressed in a bright red robe loudly denounced the situation.

The ministers all turned their gazes toward it.

Ma Guocheng, the current Censor of the Imperial Censorate and a fourth-rank Censor-in-Chief, is also the number one troll in Daqing today.

Previously, even when the Holy Emperor placed buckets of excrement at the palace gate, he was not allowed to back down an inch.

The imperial censors cast encouraging glances at him.

"Xiao Chengzi, it's all up to you!"

"Cheer up, don't embarrass yourself!"

"snort!"

Ma Guocheng snorted coldly, then raised his head and strode into the hall.

Just as Ma Guocheng stepped into the hall, the Holy Emperor's voice drifted out from inside the Taiji Hall.

"Wait!"

"Lord Ma, which foot did you step in with first?"

Ma Guocheng paused for a moment, glanced down at his feet, and replied, "Your Majesty, it's the left foot."

"oh!"

"Last night, I received a dream from a celestial being who told me that whoever steps with their left foot today will bring ruin to my great celebration!"

The ministers' expressions changed instantly!

"Issue an imperial edict!"

"Censor Ma Guocheng is to be executed, his entire clan is to be confiscated and exiled!"

The assembled officials were instantly drenched in sweat.

Those who had stepped out with their left foot earlier immediately pulled it back.

"A tyrannical ruler!"

"You tyrant!"

Lord Ma was instantly enraged and angrily shouted, "With your actions, the day of national ruin is not far off!"

"Ancestors of Daqing, open your eyes and see!"
