Feng Aotian is the protagonist? Take it!

The emperor sat on his throne, extremely angry.

Because of that bunch of useless clerks, the empire fell into an unprecedented crisis.

It all started because the emperor executed all nine clans of Duke Longtao without any explanation.

Because he had a high reputation in the country and was deeply loved by the people, his death planted the seeds of resentment in the hearts of the people.

Seeing the situation gradually escalate, the emperor once again realized the devil's cunning.

If he is not killed, he will use his perfect personality to continue to erode the empire.

If we kill him, the people will be deceived by his perfect personality and start a civil unrest.

If we were to spend energy dealing with him and slowly exposing him, the emperor who is busy governing would naturally be overwhelmed.

No matter what you do, you are the one who suffers.

Faced with the gathering of a hundred thousand troops and the gradual fermentation of public opinion, the emperor was already overwhelmed.

Now there is a price collapse.

This is obviously not an accidental incident. There must be someone behind it, no, there must be a huge organization behind it.

"Tsk."

The emperor sat on the throne. This was the angriest, helpless and at his wits' end since he ascended the throne.

With the empire's military strength, no matter how many people rebel, he has the military power to suppress them.

But...the emperor clenched his fists unwillingly.

If I really massacre innocent people, then what is the point of being the emperor!

After listening to Bai Huo's advice, the emperor still hoped that Zhang Liang could find a way to deal with the 100,000-strong army.

For this purpose, he also sent a special delegation to invite him here and give him enough face.

As a result, he didn't know how to appreciate the favor.

Troubles come one after another, and nothing goes smoothly.

Sweat beads appeared on the emperor's cheeks, his lips turned white, and his stomach ached as if it was being cut by a knife.

The emperor was already extremely angry about the incompetence of the civil servants.

At this time, Zhang Liang was still getting angry in front of the emperor, which made him even more furious.

First it was this unknown organization, and then it was that arrogant boy Zhang Liang.

He suddenly felt that anyone could step on his head and show off his power.

The pain in his stomach, coupled with the pressure from the situation, directly caused the emperor to collapse mentally.

He even wanted to ignore his image and start scratching his scalp.

"Anbu!"

The emperor roared, and several Anbu immediately half-knelt in front of the emperor, waiting for instructions.

"Forcefully recall all the ten heroes! And have Hu Tianming come to the capital!"

Upon hearing the emperor's order, the Anbu, civil servants, and envoys all showed shocked expressions.

You know, most of the Ten Heroes have missions to accomplish. Forced recall means that their missions will fail and the empire will suffer huge losses.

The emperor now has no way out.

Neither the civil servants nor Zhang Liang can be relied upon, so we can only settle for the next best option.

All ten heroes must be mobilized to quickly find that organization and wipe them all out.

As for Hu Tianming, the emperor planned to let her lead the troops in drills to publicly intimidate the 100,000-strong army and warn the other side not to act rashly.

As for those common people, they didn't know how powerful the Ten Heroes were, they had only heard of their deeds.

As long as they are encouraged, they will think that the Imperial Domain is not that strong and the military exploits of the Ten Heroes are all fake, so they come running to give it up with full confidence.

When facing them, we can only use human wave tactics and military exercises that they can understand to deter them.

The secret service, civil servants, and diplomatic envoys thought that the emperor wanted to use this kind of combat power to attack Zhang Liang.

For a moment, they felt that they had eaten a big melon.

They began to wonder how powerful Zhang Liang was that the emperor had to mobilize such a large force.

You know, this kind of combat power is enough to suppress a kingdom.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will become a topic of conversation among them after dinner.

"The ANBU with the highest rank will stay here, the rest of you move!"

"As ordered!"

After finishing the explanation, the Anbu flashed out and disappeared in front of everyone.

Then the emperor leaned back on his throne, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

The envoys could see that the emperor was in trouble.

It just so happened that there was something that might help the emperor, and he wanted to take this opportunity to use it to seek credit.

Just when the emperor had adjusted his mood, the envoys reported another matter to him.

"The International Government seems to be very sincere. They said that as long as the Empire agrees to join the International Government, they will do a favor for the Empire."

The envoys thought that they could use the favors of international governments to solve the emperor's problem.

Hearing this, the emperor looked at the envoys with shock.

The emperor's arrogance had just subsided, but it was ignited again by the envoys.

"Are you guys stupid?!"

Seeing the emperor suddenly furious, the envoys trembled and immediately knelt on the ground, with a lot of questions in their heads.

After hearing the report from the envoys, the emperor completely understood.

To make this request at this time is to incriminate oneself, isn't it?

The empire is so strong that it does not need to join any international government. If they want the empire to join, they have to create trouble and sell it as a favor to the empire.

The Emperor remembered that the Son of White Huo was investigating the international government, and the Emperor had no intention of joining until he returned.

Now I encounter this kind of thing.

Even if they came back and praised the international government to the skies, the emperor had no intention of joining it.

Screw the international government! How dare you play such a dirty trick on me!

They saw that they were not good at business, so they wanted to use this to bring down the empire.

He is really cunning.

In order to do this, the invasion of the empire began several years ago.

Perhaps, they have downstream organizations within the empire.

They dared to confess without being asked, which obviously showed that they were very confident in their plan.

However, they missed one thing.

Ah.

If you can't do something yourself, leave it to professionals.

It just so happened that the elites of Changbai arrived here, and the emperor didn't believe that a mere government that had not yet been fully established could do anything to him.

Under the emperor's order, Wang Nai and others came to the meeting room.

After the emperor's explanation, Wang Nai and others understood the current situation and began to communicate with the civil officials.

The emperor sat on the throne and was very envious of the professionalism of Wang Nai and others.

Compared with them, the empire's civil servants are good-for-nothings who know nothing.

The members of the diplomatic corps are a bunch of idiots. They thought they had gotten an advantage when the international government set up such an obvious trap.

The emperor sighed, held his forehead, and felt very tired.

I lament why all the people under my command are useless.

Half an hour later.

Wang Nai and his team compiled a report. She came before the emperor with a serious look on her face.

Seeing her expression, the emperor frowned and roughly guessed the result.

"But it doesn't matter."

“The current situation is irreversible.”

Hearing this answer, the emperor clenched his fists, and the civil servants were so scared that they quickly lowered their heads, fearing that they would meet the emperor's eyes.

Afterwards, Wang Nai explained it in detail to the emperor.

The monopoly of the country is an organized, premeditated group with a huge financial chain.

Judging from the current situation, those businessmen and vendors have been won over by this group and united together.

They adopted the form of low input and high output, forming a highly profitable industrial chain.

In other words, a few years ago, farmers came to Wangdu to sell vegetables themselves, and the prices were cheap and simple.

Today, merchants come to farmers’ doorsteps to buy the produce at low prices, and farmers are happy to cooperate with them because they believe in small profits but quick turnover.

In this way, they have become a good community of interests.

At the same time, due to the manipulation of merchants, there was an information gap between farmers and Wangdu, and farmers did not know the real price of vegetables in Wangdu.

The method used was to use rumors of robbers, thieves, and murderers to let farmers know that it was very risky to sell vegetables.

In this way, those businessmen and vendors, driven by huge profits, monopolized the entire people's livelihood industry.

Not only crops, but also daily necessities, bricks and tiles, mineral materials, mud, sand, metals and a series of other products are under their control.

Hearing this, the emperor's face looked quite ugly.

Although he was not familiar with business, he knew how difficult the current problem was.

The emperor clenched his fists and felt extremely angry.

Those businessmen made their money by relying on the empire. Now that they have grown powerful, they even dare to act recklessly over me.

Thinking of this, the emperor wanted to clap his hands and kill all nine generations of their clan.

but···

He held back this time.

The trouble this time is already big enough. If those merchants are killed, the empire's economy will be paralyzed and the people will also fall into panic.

At that time, the militia will rebel and cause even greater cholera.

The emperor clenched his teeth and his fists creaked.

Since he ascended the throne, he has never felt so aggrieved.

"Is there really no other way? What if I spend money?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Wang Nai shook his head and said:

"This is not a long-term solution. Even if the empire provides subsidies, those merchants will only make a lot of money, and the empire's treasury will gradually become empty."

The emperor never expected that even Changbai's elites would feel helpless.

Is it really true that we have no choice but to compromise with international governments?

Just as the emperor was thinking this, Wang Nai suddenly interrupted:

"Your Majesty, if it's Zhang Liang, he might have a solution."

Hearing Wang Nai's words, the emperor widened his eyes in surprise and asked back:

"Is he really as powerful as you say?"

"I can't be compared with him." Wang Nai said firmly.

The emperor glanced at the Changbai elites in disbelief, trying to get some negative information from their faces.
