Collapse, surrender to me!

Traitor.

That’s right, no one wants to live in fear of being labeled a traitor.

There was no way to do it before, but now that they don’t have to be thieves, naturally they all have ideas.

……

"My Lord, I failed."

That day, Zhang Jiao seemed to have suddenly let go.

"I have failed to live up to your expectations."

"Why do you say that?" Grayshu shook her head and consoled him, "Failure is a problem of the times, not yours."

"Don't worry about me. As long as you have a clear conscience, there will be no problem."

Grayshu didn't know what would happen in the future if Zhang Jue had not been eliminated in history.

But I don't think it will be better.

This is the limitation of peasant uprisings, especially those in ancient times.

Moreover, Zhang Jue was not a political genius, he was just an ordinary person with ideals.

"If it weren't for the Immortal, Zhang Jiao, a mere mortal, probably wouldn't have come this far. But in the end, I still hope that the Immortal can give me a final hand."

……

The Great Sage accepted the offer.

While many people were shocked, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

An ordinary person who never forgets his original intention leads a group of short-sighted and illiterate mobs.

He was able to distribute all the land of a state to the people to such an extent.

Even those who dislike Zhang Jiao have to express their admiration for him.

Luoyang imperial capital.

In the court, the dragon throne hung high, and Emperor Ling of Han sat on it, looking majestic.

The court officials lined up neatly in the hall, looking at the emperor respectfully.

Suddenly, Zhang Jue walked in slowly, with his hair hanging down his shoulders, a solemn expression, and an aura as strong as a mountain.

He walked in the center of the court, all eyes were focused on him, and for a moment, there was solemnity and silence.

Emperor Ling of Han stood up with a smile, holding the jade book in his hand.

He announced loudly: "I now appoint Zhang Jue as governor of Jizhou, in recognition of his ability and his service to the country."

After saying this, the eunuch beside him took the seal of Jizhou Mu and handed it to Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue took the seal and slowly raised his head, but there was no excitement in his eyes.

He looked directly at Emperor Ling of Han and sighed.

"The people are starving and exchanging their children for food. Your Majesty, do you know?"

All the officials were shocked.

What is Zhang Jue doing!

"How dare you! We, the Han people, live and work in peace and contentment. How can there be such absurd things as you say?"

"The world is suffering from severe drought and poor harvests. Occasional famine is normal. Don't exaggerate."

"The imperial court has been providing disaster relief, and the Ministry of Revenue is out of money!"

There are also those who directly turn the tables.

"If the Great Sage Master hadn't started the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the food and fodder that the court used to send troops could have been used for disaster relief. How could this happen?!"

……

Zhang Jue finally saw this.

The officials in the court can turn black into white and dead into alive.

Didn't he rebel because the people couldn't survive?

At this point, it turned out that because of his uprising, the court's grain and grass had to be used to fight against him, which led to famine.

It's normal to have a poor harvest when there's a severe drought.

Why did the taxes increase instead of decrease when they knew the people's harvest was poor?

"I really don't know what Jizhou Mu said." Liu Hong's face looked a little ugly.

If it weren't for the rumor that Zhang Jue knew magic, he would have already arranged for five hundred swordsmen to chop Zhang Jue to death.

"The Ten Eunuchs abused their power, levied heavy taxes on the people, and extorted their wealth. Did Emperor Ling know about this?"

"I don't know."

Liu Hong's tone was stiff and he was obviously angry.

The Ten Eunuchs were making money for him, how could he not know that?

But this statement cannot be accepted at all.

"Does Emperor Ling know how many people in the world are cursing you?"

"Zhang Jiao!!!"

This time, Liu Hong was not called the Governor of Jizhou.

Zhang Jue also threw the seal of Jizhou Mu in front of the palace.

"Emperor Ling of Han, you are ignorant of the sufferings of the people, you favor flatterers and distance yourself from the wise, you are licentious and immoral, I, Zhang Jue, am not worthy of receiving your reward today."

After saying that, Zhang Jue said fiercely.

"I came here today not for the reward, but to send Emperor Ling off on his journey."

"Come here, escort me!"

Emperor Ling's expression changed immediately.

Yet no one moved.

Because in an instant, the weather suddenly changed, and lightning and thunder appeared in the sky.

The ministers were panicked and retreated one after another.

Zhang Jue raised his right hand high and let out a long shout.

"Lei-kun, help me!!!"

Suddenly, a dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening thunder.

The candlelight in the palace was immediately covered by the sudden light, and the entire hall was as bright as day. Liu Hong suddenly raised his head and stared at the suddenly cracked roof, his eyes filled with fear and despair.

With a loud bang, thunder struck down and hit the center of the hall.

The roof was shattered in an instant, tiles and wooden beams flew everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of burning. The lightning seemed to carry the power of heaven's punishment, and it struck the Han Ling Emperor on the dragon throne mercilessly.

Liu Hong was swallowed up by the blazing electric light before he could shout.

His body twitched violently in pain, his skin instantly charred, and the last glimmer of life in his eyes dissipated in the light of lightning.

The dragon throne was also reduced to dust by the powerful lightning strike. The entire palace was silent, with only the echo of thunder reverberating between the palace walls.

The ministers were terrified and prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to look up.

The palace maids and eunuchs fled in all directions, and the screams and cries mixed together.

The punishment from heaven had arrived, and Emperor Ling of Han's rule turned to dust with this thunderbolt and scattered in the wind of Luoyang.

Even the most staunch old ministers dare not say a word now.

Even after death, a loyal minister can leave his name in history.

But if the gods take action now, if they are reborn as animals after they die, that would be a huge loss.

Then he won't be a hero again after eighteen years.

Might turn out to be a good pig.

Zhang Jue walked up to Liu Hong's charred body and took the imperial seal from the table.

"If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live a long and prosperous life."

Zhang Jue read the words on the jade seal.

"Now that Emperor Ling has committed atrocities, he has sinned against the heavens and deserves this retribution."

"What does the Great and Good Teacher want to do?!"

Someone brave enough asked.

"The position of the Son of Heaven is given by Heaven."

Zhang Jue threw the imperial seal into the sky.

It was caught by the suddenly appearing Grace.

"The new emperor will naturally be decided by the Immortal."

"If anyone can gain the recognition of the fairy, he can be granted the imperial seal and ascend the throne as the new emperor."

"..."

Naturally, the court officials had nothing to say.

What can I say? Grayshu is still floating in the air.

Besides, the Han Dynasty has always had the king's power granted by God, but it was just a formality in the past and there was no real god.

But there is another problem.

"But the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. What should we do before a new emperor is chosen?"

Without a monarch, different factions in the court would quarrel and argue endlessly, and there would always be a need for someone to make decisions.

"Until a new emperor emerges, I will serve as regent."

Gray Xiu said quietly.

This was something she and Zhang Jue had discussed.

She was unwilling at first, but Zhang Jue didn't want to do it either. After killing Emperor Ling Liu Hong, Zhang Jue began to respect the fate of others.

Everything that can be arranged has been arranged, and the rest can be left to chance.

He has tried his best.

Zhang Jue felt relieved that Grey Xiu was the regent.

He just asked Gray to stabilize the situation, and then he could slip away after the new emperor was chosen.

The girl could see through people's hearts, and Zhang Jue felt that she would be able to choose a qualified emperor.

At least better than myself.

……

The gods choose the emperor.

Anyone with the surname other than Liu is also acceptable; only ability and character count, not background.

But no matter what his surname is, a Han Chinese is still a Han Chinese.

It just changed from Liu to one of the Hundred Family Surnames.

This kind of plot, which only appears in vernacular novels, appeared in the Han Dynasty and was confirmed, causing a sensation throughout the world.

Just like that, people who had no ideas now have ideas.

After all, if you don't take the position, someone else will be chosen, and they may not be as capable as you.

For example, if Yuan Shu was chosen by the immortal to become emperor, Yuan Shao would have to get up in the middle of the night and slap himself twice, asking himself why he didn't want to be emperor.
