He Huaiyuan was so angry that he was shaking all over. At this moment, he really missed Sheng Jinghai, who not only used his own money to support the army but was also very good at fighting.

Messenger: "That's what the person who handed it over said. I dare not hide it."

He Huaiyuan took the secret letter from his hand, opened it, and became even more furious when he saw the rebellious tone inside.

"Tell the Ministry of War to give him some more food and fodder, but he must promise to recapture the three lost cities within half a month!"

Fortunately, the Sheng family was sensible enough to move away the private property of the royal family, but did not touch the national treasury that depended on the livelihood of the people. He could come up with the money.

But he was robbed one after another, and now the food and drink expenses in his house are less than one tenth of what they used to be. He Huaiyuan felt a pain in his heart, liver, lungs and kidneys when he suddenly took out so much money.

He was able to keep his composure and quickly suppressed his anger. He asked his staff:

"What's going on in the Council Hall? Those old guys are still kneeling in the square in front of you?"

"Yes. Grand Tutor Zhu and a group of old ministers knelt in the council hall, claiming that they would not get up until they saw His Majesty. Several of them have fainted, but the rest have not moved at all."

When old ministers of the previous dynasty, such as Grand Tutor Zhu, saw that the young emperor had been bedridden for many days without seeing anyone, they began to speculate that He Huaiyuan had poisoned the young emperor and used his poison as an excuse to take control of the government.

They had been plotting for a long time, and now decided that today they must force He Huaiyuan to give an explanation.

"Oh! These old bones are really tough! It's just right to deal with them all today! How are the things I asked you to prepare?"

"My Lord, everything is ready."

He Huaiyuan glanced at the clepsydra, and seeing that the time was almost up, he strode towards the house. As expected, the sun was shining brightly, and the clouds in the sky were overlapping, shining brilliantly under the sunlight.

Isn't it just as Qin Tianjian calculated, the auspicious sign of colorful clouds really appeared!

"Hahaha! The colorful clouds in the sky are proof that the benevolent policies I have issued in the past few days have moved the heavens! I wonder what those old guys will say this time!"

A quarter of an hour later, Manchu general Wu Quan was urgently summoned by He Huaiyuan to the meeting hall to listen to the imperial edict.

The general idea was that the young emperor had contracted an infectious disease and could not see anyone. He Huaiyuan's benevolent policies in the past few days made him admire them very much. Today's auspicious omen proved that it was an extremely correct decision to temporarily hand over the affairs of the Southern Qi to He Huaiyuan.

He was specially rewarded for entering the court without delay, wearing a sword and shoes to the palace, and was given nine gifts and the title of King of Wei.

Officials from the prime minister's faction knelt down one after another to receive the order, but the faces of the old ministers looked uglier than if they were constipated.

Regardless of whether this imperial edict was written by the little emperor, a hundred years ago, there was a powerful official who used the emperor to command the princes. Before he usurped the throne, he was rewarded with the privilege of entering the court, wearing a sword and shoes, and being awarded the nine silvers. After that, this set of procedures became a necessary step for powerful officials to usurp the throne.

Now He Huaiyuan has used the name of the young emperor to issue such an order. Isn't it clear that he wants to usurp the throne?!

"What? You guys keep saying you are loyal to the emperor and love your country, but you don't even accept His Majesty's order?" Seeing that these old ministers still didn't buy his words, He Huaiyuan immediately yelled with anger.

"Open your eyes and take a good look. The one who delivered the decree was Eunuch Xu who was beside His Majesty. Do you think he would follow me and deceive you?!"

"I dare not. I am not afraid of being infected. I would like to see the emperor before deciding."

Although Master Zhu was over sixty years old, his voice was as loud as a bell. Even though he was beaten with dozens of boards for pleading for the eldest wife of the Sheng family, he recovered after a few days.

"You're not afraid of being infected, I'm afraid you'll anger His Majesty and make his condition worse! Can't you just be more relaxed and let His Majesty recover?!"

"I ask you, have the benevolent policies I have issued in the past few days benefited the people of the world? Is this strange phenomenon from heaven real? Your Majesty is weak, so why can't I take care of the government for him temporarily?!"

"I, your humble servant, beg to see the Emperor. Even if it's just to take a look from a distance, so as not to disturb his rest, that's fine."

He Huaiyuan's words could not fool Master Zhu. No matter what he said, he had to say one thing to 뀘늀: I want to see Your Majesty.

The decrees issued by He Huaiyuan in the past few days are indeed useful, but since he took control of the government, officials in Southern Qi have protected each other and caused countless harm to the people. What is the use of issuing some benevolent policies in the past few days? !

In the past, when He Huaiyuan was less powerful, the young emperors, although naughty, rarely interfered in government affairs. At least they could do some good things for the people. Comparing the two, the people lived better when the young emperors were in power.

"Master Zhu, you... you are so brave! Do you believe that I will ask His Majesty to dismiss you from your post and investigate you?!"

He Huaiyuan knew that this man was tough, but he didn't expect him to be so tough. He was so angry that he threw the tablet on the ground with a bang.

"I respectfully request to see the Emperor." Grand Tutor Zhu repeated it without fear.

Several old officials behind him also shouted in unison, all of them looking determined to achieve their goal. The sky was full of colorful lights, which seemed to give them a halo, making He Huaiyuan look like a clown.

"Okay, okay! Since you old bastards won't even obey the emperor's orders, don't blame me for being merciless!"

"Those who disobey the order shall be beheaded according to the law. Come! Drag Grand Tutor Zhu Chong away and behead him, and exile all his family members to the northern border! The rest of you shall be ordered to go home and reflect on your mistakes, and come out only when you have thought it through!"

Since these people turned a blind eye to the benevolent policies he had previously announced, there was no need to pretend. Aren't they disobedient? Just kill a few more of them!

Anyway, his arrangements in Jinyang County were flawless, and Huai'en would definitely be able to find the huge fortune taken away by Sheng Yichen.

By then, they will have money in their hands and can raise as many soldiers as they want. The right to speak will really be in his hands!

Who knew that as soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell silent. Even the guards beside him did not dare to step forward to arrest Master Zhu.

"Prime Minister...Prime Minister, you can't do that. Grand Tutor Zhu has a very high prestige. How can you just ignore him?"

Now even the officials of the Prime Minister's faction began to speak out to stop it. After all, Master Zhu's disciples were all over the world and were highly sought after by people all over the world.

If he really killed him, He Huaiyuan estimated that he would be drowned in the spit of people all over the world.

But he wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkey, so that everyone can see who is the real destiny.

Seeing that the guards did not move, he immediately shouted angrily: "Didn't you hear me?! Do you want to be dragged away and beheaded like him?!"

The guards were so frightened that they turned pale and hurried to drag the man away.

At this moment, the fog that had previously obscured the sun slowly moved away, and the golden light shone brightly, making the colorful clouds in the sky even more dazzling.

He Huaiyuan could no longer hold back his laughter:

"Hahaha! A good omen! It really is a good omen! I am indeed the one destined by heaven, the only one who can help Nanqi to rise!"

But at this moment, suddenly, waves of communication were heard coming from the palace.

"Oh no! Oh no! Urgent news from Jinyang City, Longlonglong's veins have collapsed!!"

"Four days ago, the Bixiao Mountains collapsed, and Prince Yongping's entourage and guards are nowhere to be found!"

"Yongping Army Commander Zhou Dingbang led 10,000 men to station in Liuxi Village. For unknown reasons, they clashed with the passing Shenyin Guards. 10,000 Yongping Army soldiers and 6,000 Shenyin Guards were killed in a fierce battle, and the entire army was wiped out!"

“…”

"What? The dragon vein, the dragon vein collapsed?!"

All the court officials were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Compared with the auspicious clouds falling from the sky, the collapse of the dragon veins could better explain the current situation of the Southern Qi Kingdom.

When He Huaiyuan heard that not only did Sheng Yichen not get caught up in all the arrangements he had made, but even his most trusted He Huai'en and the Yongping Army were nowhere to be found, his mind went blank and he sat down on the bed.

But suddenly, waves of terrified screams were heard all around.

"Oh no! There's a fire in Changchun Palace!"

"Hurry up and put out the fire! The Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, and Imperial Garden are all flooded!"

"The Shenwu Gate is also on fire! All the palaces in the north are on fire! Hurry up and rescue the masters of each palace and the emperor!"

Suddenly, the smoke rolled in, covering the clear sky. The entire palace was shrouded in red smoke, as if the end of the world had suddenly arrived.

The ministers were in panic, but Zhu Yun stood up slowly and couldn't help laughing:

"Hahaha! Okay, okay! He Huaiyuan, don't you want us to see the strange phenomenon falling from the sky?!"

"Now that I've watched it carefully, this scene of the destruction of a country is truly spectacular!"
