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

Upon seeing his colleagues kneeling and shouting "Long live the Holy Emperor!", Fu Songnian was filled with rage.

Fuck!

Those bastards are probably already waiting behind the city gate.

Only after realizing he had surrendered did he rush out!

Now he's the biggest sinner!

The officials of Qi, each with straw stuck in their hair, knelt on both sides of the road to respectfully welcome the Holy Emperor into the capital.

The officials knelt down so quickly because they had already realized that the Emperor of Qing would not stay in Qi for long.

No matter how powerful he is, he is ultimately just one person and cannot conjure up hundreds of thousands of people.

The State of Qi encompassed thirty-two states and covered an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of miles.

With the Crown Prince still alive, the armies from all over the country that came to the aid of the emperor will arrive in Ye City soon.

Once the Emperor of Qing leaves, they will still be officials of Daqi, so there's no need for them to risk their lives for nothing.

The crown prince has fled; at least they remain in the capital, ready to live and die with it.

They were doing this to protect the capital, in case the tyrant went on a killing spree within the city.

They were all doing it for the people of Qi!

The officials wiped away their tears one by one.

Just as the Holy Emperor's carriage was about to enter Ye City, a sharp shout suddenly broke out from the chaotic crowd.

"You dog emperor!"

"Prepare to die!"

Upon hearing the sound, the officials of Qi were the first to tense up.

As the sound rang out, seven or eight figures suddenly emerged from the crowd, swords in hand, and charged forward.

"You dog emperor, prepare to die!"

"Today I will tell you that the land of Qi does not welcome the people of Qing!"

They were all江湖人 (jianghu people, people of the Jianghu) from the State of Qi.

How can we allow the emperor of another country to rule our capital?

If they were to allow the monarch of another country to enter the capital today, wouldn't they become a laughing stock of the whole world? That's why they deliberately chose this moment.

Today, they will act on behalf of Heaven!

Punish the wicked and destroy the tyrant!

The cold blade instantly sliced ​​through the throats of two imperial guards, drawing a line of blood, before pointing directly at the Holy Emperor.

"Protect the Emperor!"

"Protect the Emperor immediately!"

The officials of Qi shouted anxiously.

"Release the arrows!"

"Shoot them!"

Several officials roared orders for the soldiers to fire arrows.

Damn lowlifes!

Why are you causing trouble at this time!

If they weren't ignorant of martial arts, they would have already rushed up and hacked these lowly people to death.

Faced with the incoming sword strike, the Holy Emperor extended his tangible hand.

"Ding!"

With a gentle pinch of two fingers, the blade is held between them.

Afterwards,

With a flick of the index finger, a gentle snap!

"Bang!"

The longsword shattered instantly.

The next second, Lu Shuangning felt her vision go black as a strong hand gripped her face.

"stop!"

"You tyrant, stop!"

Seeing this, his companions were extremely anxious.

The Holy Emperor held the woman's face in one hand, his tone indifferent: "Stop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards who were preparing to surround and kill him immediately retreated at top speed.

Seeing this, the group that was preparing to assassinate him regrouped.

The Holy Emperor smiled and asked, "I don't recall killing any people from Qi, have I?"

The army did not commit any offenses during its passage.

It is no exaggeration to say that among all the armies of the four kingdoms, only the Holy Emperor's personal guards possessed such quality and moral standards.

After all, the divine power of the Holy Emperor is extremely terrifying.

"tyrant……"

"You tyrant, do I need a reason to kill you?"

Lu Shuangning's face was filled with anger!

"You intruder!"

The Holy Emperor smiled broadly: "It was clearly your Qi Kingdom that insulted me first, and tried to seize my Qing Kingdom's territory."

"It's only because I won that I'm the one standing here!"

As a holy emperor, one should naturally be able to hear different voices.

Anyone who dares to offend me will have their entire family exterminated!

"snort!"

"Putting aside the facts, are you really in the right?"

Lu Shuangning struggled fiercely, coldly saying, "What's wrong with my Qi Kingdom ceding land to your Qing Kingdom? Your Qing Kingdom should give us that land!"

"If it weren't for the Qi state blocking the Xiongnu from the north, how could your Qing state have survived as a vassal!"

"I advise you to surrender as soon as possible. Once my Qi army arrives to come to the aid of the king, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."

"You incompetent tyrant, you lecherous scoundrel! We would rather die than submit to you! Forget about it!"

After a long silence, the Holy Emperor finally spoke, "I..."

never mind!

I cannot tolerate this.

The Holy Emperor originally intended to demonstrate benevolence, but now he only wants to blow her head off.

The Holy Emperor released his grip.

Lu Shuangning's expression grew increasingly smug, and she sneered, "Don't think that just because you're the emperor, everyone has to fawn over you..."

"I just..."

"Bang!"

The words came to an abrupt halt!

The Holy Emperor's golden mace had already smashed her head to pieces.

The Holy Emperor turned his gaze to the remaining few people and asked with a kind smile, "Is there anything else you would like to say?"

"I am a very willing listener!"

"Anyone who dares to criticize me to my face shall have their entire family exterminated; anyone who submits a memorial to me to remonstrate shall have their entire family executed; anyone who slanders or mocks me in the marketplace or court, and whose words reach my ears, shall be beheaded immediately!"

The group of people who were about to speak were all taken aback.

Is this fucking right?

What does it mean that anyone who dares to offend the emperor will have their entire family exterminated?

Fu Songnian, a great Confucian scholar of the Northern Qi Dynasty, immediately exclaimed: "Your Majesty's benevolence is unparalleled. Although you are in the highest position, you do not forget the common people. You are in a position of power and are willing to listen to the voices of the common people, observe their conditions, and sympathize with their hardships. Even the wise rulers of the past were no more than this."

A satisfied smile appeared on the Emperor's face.

The officials instantly realized that this was the person who was willing to listen!

Every official cursed inwardly.

As expected of a great Confucian scholar, his reaction was swift.

The Holy Emperor waved his hand, signaling his men to temporarily detain the group.

Lu Cheng had already sensed their presence from their earlier actions; these people generally possessed high levels of martial arts skill. If they could be recruited into the Embroidered Uniform Guard as spies, it would be quite effective.

The emperor's personal guards quickly took over the defense of the palace.

The imperial guards threw aside the dragon banner of the Qi emperor and replaced it with the banner of the holy emperor.

The doors to the main hall of the Qi Kingdom's royal palace were pushed open.

The Holy Emperor strode confidently toward the dragon throne.

Seated on the dragon throne, the Holy Emperor finally turned his gaze to the drooling Emperor of Northern Qi at the doorway and slowly spoke: "Little Gao, what do you think of me building a wine pool and meat forest here?"

"Little Gao, are your concubines beautiful?"

"Xiao Gao, where did you hide all the money?"

"Xiao Gao, are you listening?"

Standing at the door, Gao Zhan, looking dazed and silly, had a silly grin on his face and drool dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"Xiao Gao, if you don't speak up, I'm going to smash your head in!"

The Holy Emperor said with a smile.

Gao Zhan was jolted awake and instantly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, spare my life..."

"Your Majesty, spare me! I was confused for a moment!"

Clearly, Gao Zhan wasn't really stupid.

After all, it was too humiliating. The emperor personally led an army of fifty or sixty thousand, only to suffer a crushing defeat and be captured.

If you pretend to be a fool, you can naturally stage a "amnesia" drama.

"Your Majesty, I can offer all my concubines to you!"

"My empress can also be summoned to serve His Majesty..."

The Holy Emperor, his face dark, waved his hand and said, "Enough!"

Although the Holy Emperor didn't care much about his reputation, he wasn't a lustful fiend.
