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

The atmosphere inside the hall suddenly became heavy.

Seeing the group openly discussing strategies to destroy both countries right in front of them, Liu Nanfeng and Sima Rutang's faces darkened.

This is incredibly disrespectful to them!

Do you really think they're made of clay, resorting to such destructive strategies?

However, after careful consideration, the two realized that this plan might actually succeed.

Liu Nanfeng snorted lightly, expressing his dissatisfaction. He flicked his sleeves, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, does your country truly intend to provoke war between our two nations?"

"Both countries have enjoyed peace for a long time, and the people all yearn for peace!"

"Does Your Majesty intend to become a sinner against the world?"

Liu Nanfeng's voice suddenly rose, resounding and carrying a hint of accusation.

Now that things have come to this, Liu Nanfeng has simply adopted a "what's the use" attitude.

Sima Rutang's face was ashen. He stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty's actions are far too domineering. Using profits to lure the people and hoarding grain at high prices is tantamount to cutting off the lifeline of other countries. This will inevitably alienate all nations and may even undermine the greater good!"

The envoy from the Jin Kingdom of the grasslands was all smiles.

Let's fight!

The fiercer you fight, the more we can benefit from it!

Once you've fought to the point of mutual destruction, my Jin cavalry will march south, and the entire Central Plains will be ours.

Sartu laughed and said, "If Your Majesty is willing, my Jin Kingdom can send troops to assist you!"

Liu Nanfeng and Sima Rutang both turned to look at Sartu, letting out a soft snort of disdain.

What a short-sighted fool!

They are indeed barbarians, utterly foolish.

Do you really think the dog emperor of Qing Kingdom is some kind of benevolent person?

Qingguo's purpose was very clear; it had no intention of using any schemes against Jinguo.

They're planning to wipe you all outright!

On this point, both Liu Nanfeng and Sima Rutang shared the same view as the Holy Emperor.

"Righteousness?" The Holy Emperor chuckled lightly, looking down at the group, and said calmly, "In chaotic times of war and the survival of the fittest, what is righteousness?"

"The State of Jin has repeatedly provoked us on the border and secretly colluded with the State of Chu to plot against the territory of my Daqing. Now they are talking to me about morality. It is too ridiculous."

"What righteousness is there in the Jin state killing the emperor and seizing the throne?"

"Moreover, I believe that under my rule, the people of both countries will be able to live better lives."

What evil intentions could the Holy Emperor possibly have? He simply wants the people of both countries to experience his benevolence.

Sima Rutang was speechless and his face turned ugly after the Holy Emperor's words.

The murder of the emperor and the usurpation of the throne is an indelible stain on the Sima imperial family!

The Holy Emperor waved his hand with overwhelming force, his voice booming: "Go back and tell the emperors of your two countries!"

"Let them govern my country well!"

"I will arrive in a few days!"

The Holy Emperor issued a domineering declaration!

What's fifteen years of lifespan!

He wants to live to be a hundred, a thousand years old!

He wants to live forever!

Liu Nanfeng and Sima Rutang were stunned for a moment, then frowned as they looked at the Holy Emperor.

What is this damn emperor thinking?

They openly told them their plan, and then let them go.

After they return, will your Qing Kingdom's strategy still be able to be implemented?

Do you really think they're all useless?

As envoys, they had long been prepared to die in the Kingdom of Qing.

They're actually letting them go back now?

Now that we know the plan, how can we possibly be completely unprepared?

The students inside the hall looked anxious.

However, at this moment, they were of low status and their voices carried little weight, so they dared not express their opinions in the imperial court.

The students all looked to the court officials, hoping they could persuade the emperor.

The officials and civil and military officials all looked completely unconcerned.

Having endured the Holy Emperor's repeated beatings, they had long since come to deeply appreciate the Holy Emperor's terrifying power.

It's only a matter of time before the two countries are destroyed.

On this point, the ministers had long since reached a consensus.

Besides, if the dog emperor really loses, won't their good days be just around the corner?

The Holy Emperor turned to look at the Jin envoy, Sartu, and waved his hand: "Take him away and execute him!"

The Holy Emperor could not tolerate the Jin people who slaughtered their people and used them as food.

The Jin dynasty repeatedly invaded the borders, abducted people, and even used the people of several countries as food for its army.

Therefore, the Holy Emperor was prepared to crush them from the very beginning!

Sartu's surprise was instantly replaced by utter astonishment.

He even doubted whether he had misheard!

Why is it that the Western Jin and Southern Chu were unaffected, but when it came to him, they were going to drag him out and execute him?

"No!"

Sartu shouted, "You can't kill me!"

"I am an envoy of the Jin Dynasty. Even in times of war, envoys are not to be killed!"

Seeing the guards outside the hall enter, Sartu hurriedly shouted, "I am an envoy of the Jin Kingdom! If you kill me, you will be provoking war between our two countries!"

"When my Jin cavalry marches south one day, they will surely avenge me..."

The loyal guards immediately dragged Sartu out of the Taiji Hall.

The sound faded into the distance and then abruptly stopped.

The Holy Emperor glanced at the envoys from both countries and said with a smile, "You two need not be afraid, I will order someone to escort you away."

The two fell silent for a moment.

Dog Emperor!

It would have been better if they hadn't said anything; now that they have, they're starting to worry.

They had absolutely no idea what this damned emperor was thinking.

Liu Nanfeng cupped his hands and said, "There's no need for Your Majesty to send troops to protect us; we will leave on our own."

Sima Rutang also bowed and echoed.

The Holy Emperor suddenly revealed a wicked smile: "How about I give them to you?"

The two were taken aback.

Being escorted by the emperor of a nation is undoubtedly a great honor.

This dog emperor is actually quite good.

The two of them thought of it at the same time.

Before the two could react, the Holy Emperor had already strode down the wall and out of the palace, where he removed two huge stone pillars with his bare hands.

The enormous stone pillar, several meters long, was as light as a toy in the hands of the Holy Emperor.

Then, to the astonishment of the crowd, the Holy Emperor suddenly hurled the two stone pillars.

"Boom!"

It sounded as if a muffled thunderclap had exploded on the horizon.

A piercing roar filled the air.

"Hold on tight!"

The voice of the Holy Emperor rang in the ears of Liu Nanfeng and Sima Rutang.

"What?"

Liu Nanfeng looked puzzled.

Before they could react, the Holy Emperor hurled them, one in each hand, onto the rapidly advancing stone pillar.

According to the Holy Emperor's prediction, the two should be able to land accurately at the border.

Of course, if there are any errors, they can only blame their bad luck.

As the black dot disappeared on the horizon, the members of the two delegations looked bewildered.

It just flew away like that?

What will they do?

The Holy Emperor strode into the hall, looked at the students who were staring blankly, and laughed loudly: "I am quite satisfied with today's palace examination!"

"Qi Yue ranked first in the palace examination!"

"He has been promoted to Assistant Minister of Works, in charge of road construction!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but show envy.

Qi Yue's face was filled with surprise and joy, and he knelt down excitedly, kowtowing: "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty!"

"I will gladly give my life!"

To be personally granted an official position by the Emperor after passing the palace examination—what an honor!

Moreover, these are actually vacant positions in the Six Ministries!

The Holy Emperor looked at the group of students and smiled kindly: "You will all become the pillars of the empire!"

"You must not emulate these beasts in the court, or I will have to play games with you!"

The court officials were eager to give the dog emperor a good scolding!
