The gods descend into reality

The official surnamed Zhang said with a bitter face.

"The Heart of the King".

Then Chongzhen looked at the eunuch beside him, his voice gradually turning cold.

"Your Majesty, this old servant doesn't have much money. At most, I can only donate... I can donate a thousand taels."

Wang Zhixin felt a dull ache in her heart.

As a senior eunuch, he did have a lot of savings, but it was all hard-earned money over the years. Losing even a penny of it would hurt him.

"Whoosh~"

The longsword was drawn.

The officials present stared wide-eyed at the scene, completely dumbfounded.

died?

Did His Majesty the Emperor really kill Wang Zhixin?

The next moment, something horrifying happened to all the officials.

The emperor, who had been standing there, slowly floated up, and a purple mist rose around him.

and so--

Meow meow meow?

Where are we? And what's happening here?

"I am ordained by Heaven and protected by gods and men. You must know that this world belongs to me. I am asking you to donate, not to deceive me!"

The greatsword in his hand emitted dazzling light, and insects resembling tentacles wriggled back and forth on it. Streams of power surged from the sword into his body as if they were inexhaustible.

The Demon Sword—Apophis!

If it were my former self, I probably would have been completely devoured by the evil spirit within the sword the moment I grasped it.

Fortunately, I had taken an enhancement potion before I came into contact with the sword, so at least I can control it now!

The origin of this sword is rather complicated.

It is said that an official of the Qin Dynasty tried writing online novels, and then one day the Qin Dynasty decided to go to the game world to get some game equipment for research.

Then the official originally intended to stop updating.

As it turned out, a handsome young man who wished to remain anonymous happened to be a fan of that official's books.

Um--

Then, now countless divine weapons lie in the research room of the Qin Research Institute.

Hey ~

Look at other people's readers.

Ahem, but none of that matters. Back then, I could have chosen a more suitable artifact, but—

But this sword is so cool!

Strength is temporary, but handsomeness lasts a lifetime.

"Your Majesty is truly awe-inspiring!"

The next moment, the officials in the room knelt down one by one, filled with fear and trepidation.

The voice was filled with fear and horror.

As ordinary people, how could we have ever seen such miraculous abilities?

Is His Majesty truly the chosen one by Heaven?

"King Zhang?"

Chongzhen looked at his father-in-law, Zhou Kui.

A few days ago, I told my father-in-law that if we were to donate money today, he should at least give me face and set a good example.

"Your Majesty, this old minister sold his belongings and raised a total of thirteen thousand taels of silver, which I wish to use to relieve Your Majesty's worries."

Zhou Kui said with a pained expression.

As the emperor's father-in-law, Zhou Kui was not worried at all about whether Chongzhen would take action against him, even though Chongzhen now possessed godlike powers.

What's there to be afraid of? Do you think you can—

"Boom!"

The next moment, Zhou Kui turned into a blood mist, his blood and organs splattering all over the faces of the ministers.

Dead...dead!

"You damn bastard wanted to donate 10,000 taels of silver, and the Empress gave you 5,000 taels to donate to me, yet you still took a kickback! You deserve to die!"

Emperor Chongzhen felt that his last bit of patience had finally crumbled.

This is outrageous!

The Empress has no salary, yet she still donated five thousand taels to get Zhou Kui, that old bastard, to give her some face. And that old bastard even took a kickback.

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

Damn, can anything get any more outrageous?!

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty has gone mad!"

Someone shouted something and then ran towards the door.

"Hissing sound~ What the hell are you doing~"

A massive halberd slammed down, instantly cleaving the fleeing man in two.

"Demon...demon..."

The official closest to the main hall entrance pointed at the beast at the door, his voice trembling, feeling that his worldview had been severely shattered.

"You damn devil! I am Red Hare!"

The general held the five divine weapons in his hands, and Red Hare shook its head, causing the phoenix-winged purple-gold crown on its head to sway, making it look extremely majestic.

Well, that is, if the other person doesn't have a long face, then they might look more energetic.

"Donations are being accepted now; 30,000 taels is enough to survive."

Emperor Chongzhen looked coldly at the officials present.

"Your Majesty, how could you—"

"biu~"

Gunshots rang out, and Chongzhen blew on the pistol in his hand.

"continue."

Minister...

Continue my ass! You're clearly not going to reason with us!

He wanted to run away, but then he looked at the tall and imposing Red Hare at the door.

Stop running!

But this beast is shameless; his manhood is just exposed like that. It looks like he really wants to castrate the other person!

Some officials felt their thoughts suddenly wander.

Therefore, castration means removing that thing, and "power" equals that thing. Hence, phrases like "irreconcilable," "unstoppable," "powerful and heavy," "numerous and powerful," "immense momentum," "unstoppable," "aggressive," "a pincer movement," and "a dog relying on its master's power" are all related to this.

Damn it, what kind of nonsense is this "dog relying on its master's power"? It's disgusting!

"By the way, where is Qian Qianyi? Come out, I have something to discuss with you, my dear minister."

Chapter 681 Qian Qianyi, jump!

Qian Qianyi, who was signing the donation document, paused slightly.

Not only Qian Qianyi, but everyone else in the court also looked at Qian Qianyi with flickering eyes, and began to sort out information about him in their minds.

This man was a Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination) during the Wanli era and entered officialdom during the Tianqi era. He is now over sixty years old.

A few days ago, a joke was made. When Qian Qianyi, who was 59 years old at the time, married the famous courtesan Liu Rushi, many people in the court laughed and said that the old tree was sprouting new buds. Some people even quoted Su Shi's poem: "An eighteen-year-old bride and an eighty-year-old groom, white hair against red makeup, a pair of lovers in the quilt at night, a pear tree pressing down on a crabapple."

Of course, these words weren't really malicious; they were just jokes at most.

A scholar of refined tastes, though this scholar is a bit old, he is still a scholar.

However, the matter soon faded into obscurity.

After all, the essence of interesting anecdotes, essays, and news reports lies in novelty.

Time will smooth over these new messages.

Most importantly, Qian Qianyi had a smooth career and held a very high official position in his early years.

But after being falsely accused, he was relegated to a sinecure.

Its presence is almost nonexistent.

Some people might wonder why someone who has been falsely accused would be sent to a sinecure.

Isn't that obvious?

Don't they know who the current emperor is? He's the most petty of all.

Even if others are making false accusations against you, there's no smoke without fire.

If you have no faults at all, then why would someone sue you, and not your neighbor Zhang San, or your neighbor Wang Shouyi?

Therefore, you can kill three thousand innocent people but not let one guilty person go free; demoting you first is always the right thing to do.

But speaking of which, why did Your Majesty suddenly mention this old fellow?

Could it be that they want to promote this old guy again?

Some of the ministers standing at the front immediately tensed up.

Among them, Grand Secretaries of the Dongge Pavilion, such as Wei Zaode and Li Jiantai, were the most anxious.
