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

Compared to being flown like a kite, leaving the State of Qi might be a better choice.

Although everyone had stood together in good faith before, when the emperor's sword was finally wielded, this vice minister of the Ministry of Works still decided to betray his colleagues.

As members of the surrender faction who had already surrendered, their only motivation was to save their lives.

If you lose your life, then surrendering is meaningless.

The only thing the ministers of Qi hadn't anticipated was that the Holy Emperor had never treated them as human beings.

The Holy Emperor didn't care about them either.

Politics is about compromise; this is the tacit understanding between the emperor and his ministers in the imperial court.

In their minds, they surrendered and welcomed the Holy Emperor to the capital, taking responsibility for maintaining the rule of Ye City—this was the tacit understanding among them.

Even though they knew they might anger the Holy Emperor, they could only band together and try to put pressure on him in this way because of their own interests.

This tactic proved infallible in every confrontation with the emperor!

On some occasions, they would even let the emperor fall into the back garden and drown, or be burned to death by a sudden fire, thus physically eliminating the emperor's power.

The Vice Minister of Works knelt down, but the Emperor's game was clearly not over yet.

The Holy Emperor looked at the kneeling Vice Minister of Works and laughed loudly, "Since that's the case, then please find someone to fly a kite with me."

After a moment of silence, the Vice Minister of Works pointed to one person.

"Duan Baiqing, I'll fuck your mother!"

Among the crowd, an official pointed out by Duan Baiqing, the Vice Minister of Works, had a furious look on his face, wishing he could rush up and bite Duan Baiqing to death right then and there.

The already fragile alliance has suddenly crumbled.

When Duan Baiqing pointed at his political enemies, the others realized that others would make the same choice next.

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to go!"

The Imperial Censor immediately kowtowed and bowed.

"tyrant!"

Suddenly, a resounding voice rang out from the crowd.

The ministers' expressions changed, and they all turned their heads angrily to look.

Which bastard is it that has to drag everyone down at this time?

As everyone turned their gaze, a figure dressed in a blue official robe appeared in an inconspicuous spot at the back of the main hall.

In the State of Qi, a blue official robe was at most associated with a seventh-rank official.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Sun Yi straightened his body, strode out, neither humble nor arrogant.

Sun Yi bowed respectfully: "Sun Yi, the Imperial Academy Examiner of Qi, greets His Majesty the Emperor of Daqing!"

"Your Majesty, I was born a subject of Qi, and I will die a subject of Qi!"

"If His Majesty is truly the Meiji Emperor, he should not have done this."

Sun Yi remained calm and spoke with unwavering conviction: "If Your Majesty wishes to kill me, I am willing to commit suicide here, so as not to soil Your Majesty's hands."

Sun Yi drew the sword from the guard beside him, presented it respectfully, and his expression was resolute.

The courtiers glared angrily!

The Holy Emperor waved his hand, signaling the guards who were about to brutally beat Sun Yi to leave.

"Xiao Gao!"

"What did you call me?"

The Holy Emperor seemed to be asking a trivial question casually.

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhan immediately exclaimed, "Father!"

Upon hearing this, the courtiers looked shocked and stared at Gao Zhan in disbelief.

Father...Father Emperor?

Even they never imagined that their emperor would call the emperor of another country "father emperor".

Shameless!

Utterly shameless!

How could the emperor, a man of such high status, call someone else "father"?

The courtiers once again used their double standards of morality to severely criticize their emperor.

The Holy Emperor smiled and looked at Sun Yi, asking, "Now, do you belong to the Qi faction or the Qing faction?"

Sun Yi was momentarily confused.

His straight body unconsciously hunched over.

If even the emperor has recognized a thief as his father, what is he then?

The Holy Emperor spread his arms as if embracing the whole world, and uttered a grand voice: "What are the four kingdoms? One day, I will conquer a vast territory."

The holy emperor desires immortality, but the prerequisite for immortality is clean governance and a peaceful and prosperous life for the people!

"If only I could have ten thousand mansions, to shelter all the poor and needy, and make them all smile with joy!"

The Holy Emperor's voice was like ocean waves, echoing throughout the entire imperial palace of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Unfortunately, there are always people who want to rebel against the Holy Emperor and want him dead!

The Holy Emperor turned to look at Sun Yi, his voice calm: "I will not kill you."

"Since you consider yourself a subject of Qi, then act as a subject of Qi should!"

The succubus-like holy emperor smiled and said, "From this day forward, you are the Prime Minister of Qi!"

"I look forward to your performance!"

The Holy Emperor raised his hand and gently patted Sun Yi's shoulder.

Sun Yi froze on the spot.

"Prime Minister...?"

Sun Yi's eyes were filled with confusion.

Is he capable of doing a good job?

The dog emperor shouldn't have executed his entire clan, then skinned him alive, burned him alive, and torn apart by five horses...

Sun Yi had already devised various cruel tortures, which is why he begged the Holy Emperor to kill him immediately.

Hey?

Why do I call him "Holy Emperor"?

In the eyes of the Holy Emperor, Sun Yi was radiating a dazzling golden light at this moment.

That's the brilliance of talent!

Before this, the luster on his body was restrained and dull.

Upon hearing that Sun Yi had been appointed as prime minister, the ministers' eyes revealed a look of jealousy.

Second only to one person, his name will be remembered in history!

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of officials of the seventh rank throughout the world, but prime ministers are few and far between, and they are people who can have their own page in the family genealogy.

The Holy Emperor gently stretched his arms and waved his hand, saying, "Go, all of you!"

"I'm tired!"

Just as the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, the Emperor's words suddenly came through.

"Let's fly kites again tomorrow!"

"Hahaha!"

The Holy Emperor burst into laughter.

The courtiers cursed inwardly.

Dog Emperor!

Even though they knew the emperor was deliberately trying to scare them, the officials were still filled with unease.

……

After seeing off the beasts of Qi, the Holy Emperor ordered his men to bring in the men he had previously attempted to assassinate.

The five men were forced to kneel in the main hall, their expressions respectful. The injuries on their bodies indicated that they had been severely tortured by their father, a member of the Imperial Guard.

Qin Xiong respectfully said, "Your Majesty, the interrogation is complete."

"They are from the Qi Kingdom's Four Seas Alliance, a Jianghu (江湖, a term referring to the martial arts world) organization that claims all within the four seas are brothers!"

"Anyone who is willing to utter these words can join the Four Seas Alliance."

"According to their confessions, they were previously acting on orders from the higher-ups of the Four Seas Alliance."

"The Four Seas Alliance must have been in contact with the Crown Prince of Qi long ago, and this time it was likely instructed by him!"

Even he could figure out what the intention behind this move was.

"The traitor!"

Gao Zhan was the first to erupt in fury!

Rebel!

They'd love to see him dead!

Whether this matter succeeds or fails, it's like putting him on the hot seat.

The Holy Emperor looked down at the group, his eyes flashing coldly: "I can release you."

"But I want you to go to the Kingdom of Qing!"

"Go to the Qing Kingdom and contact people to rebel against me!"

The five of them looked up at the Holy Emperor in disbelief, wondering if they had misheard.

The Holy Emperor reached out and stroked one of the children's round heads, resisting the urge to crush it, and nodded, saying, "That's right!"

"This is tantamount to rebelling against me!"

With just the phrase "All men are brothers under heaven," the Holy Emperor knew that this organization was full of talented people.
