Your Majesty! I am guilty of death!

"What? Xu Yanmiao was kidnapped?!"

The old emperor sat up in shock from his dying illness and cursed: "Who did this little beast come from? How dare he set his sights on Xu Yanmiao! I will skin him alive and hang his skin at the city gate for three days and three nights!"

The Jinyi Guards hesitated and said, "The Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Revenue were also kidnapped..."

Before the report was finished, the old emperor shouted in a loud voice, "These are not important!"

Other officials who entered the thieves' den together: ?

So you only care about Bai Ze, right?

"Don't I understand them? A bunch of old green hands, a fox leader, how could they be fooled? They must have some plan in mind. Xu Yanmiao, like a clean big steamed bun, has no brains at all, and probably followed them stupidly."

After the unilateral personal attack, the old emperor made arrangements in an orderly manner: "Don't make a fuss, infiltrate the Jinyiwei first, and then..."

The old emperor paused for a word and said: "Improve your identity, and dispatch soldiers to besiege!"

As for the incognito visit? How could it be more important than Xu Yanmiao!

*

In the middle of the anti-thief lecture, a group of people with white suns embroidered on their clothes rushed in, panicking.

"Master! It's bad!!!"

Master Bai Yang wondered: "What's wrong? Why are you so anxious?"

It can't be that the soldiers suddenly came to the door? No way? Didn't they hide well? He had been preaching for more than half a year, and the government didn't find out.

The anti-thief minion rushed in as anxious as a spinning top, but when he suddenly

stopped in the middle of the venue, he was at a loss, as if he didn't know what to do. Xu Yanmiao kindly reminded: "You should tell me what happened outside, why did you suddenly rush in and say it's bad?"

The anti-thief minion's eyes lit up immediately, like a lost lamb finally found the right direction.

He knew what to say!

"Master! The emperor is here!!!"

Master Bai Yang was almost choked to death by this sentence.

You might as well not know what to say!

Seeing that the people below the stage were already rioting, the White Sun Cult leader quickly spoke up: "Don't be afraid! The emperor may just be passing by here, not necessarily..."

However, someone below the stage had already started shouting.

"Let me go! I'm just here to get the eggs! Who wants to rebel?"

"Yes! I still have land at home!"

"Emperor, please don't arrest us! Let me go!"

Even several believers were anxious to leave.

The White Sun Cult leader was stunned: "You are well versed in the teachings of my White Sun Cult, why are you still thinking about that summer day! The old emperor is cruel and inhumane, and cannot distinguish right from wrong. He imposes all kinds of taxes, and even makes us pay for the incense money for praying to Buddha before sailing. Don't you think it's unbearable? Don't you want to replace this sun?"

This is what the Xiangyang Uprising manual he picked up taught!

These real common people were very confused: "When His Majesty killed corrupt officials before, he announced to the world that those corrupt officials acted on their own initiative. He made the decision for us and killed them all! Whoever dares to take so much money in the future, we will kill him too!"

Bai Yang Cult Leader was stunned. He took out the Xiangyang Uprising Handbook from his pocket, flipped through it again and again, his face turned pale with fright: "That's not right, it doesn't say that the government will kill corrupt officials. It only says that corrupt officials will exploit and the government will let it go, which will inevitably make people live in misery and the people will be full of dissatisfaction, and this will lead to an uprising!"

The Minister of Personnel saw him like this and kindly reminded him: "Do you have the date written on this booklet?"

Bai Yang Cult Leader took a look: "No."

The Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Revenue came over to take a look.

"Oh, this!"

"This booklet...isn't it the one that Your Majesty wrote back then..."

When Your Majesty was fighting the Xiangyang bandits, in order to incite the people under the rule of the Xiangyang bandits to rebel, Your Majesty gathered his advisers and wrote this booklet together? It's the original version, and there are several updated versions later.

The expressions on the two people's faces suddenly became awkward.

The people below tried to look up.

So curious, what did they see?

Bai Yang Cult leader was unable to react for a moment: "What, Your Majesty?"

"Well, I mean, this is..."

In the confused eyes of Bai Yang Cult leader, the Minister of Personnel "kindly" reminded: "When we fought the Xiangyang bandits back then, there was a booklet that was circulated. You know, the Xiangyang bandits were very extravagant. The padding under the saddle was all meat! All this meat was obtained by exploiting the common people."

So the booklet was not wrong, it just had a time limit.

"?!"

The White Sun Cult leader flipped through the book in a hurry. After flipping through it for a while, he threw the book aside and looked at the people: "Then you come to listen every day..."

The people didn't understand why he asked this. They were confused and said with a righteous attitude: "You are giving me eggs!"

The White Sun Cult leader was anxious: "Then you also helped me recruit people..."

The people were even more righteous: "Give me money!"

"I called all my aunts and uncles over!"

"I called our entire village!"

"Hehe, I didn't ask for it, I did it myself and got paid myself!"

Bai Yang Cult Leader finally started shaking his legs, and the frequency of shaking became louder and louder - he finally realized that these people would not support him, and finally realized how ridiculous it was to find someone else's bookstore to print rebellious books instead of building a factory to print them himself.

He didn't even know why he could persist for half a year without being caught!

Xu Yanmiao thought for a long time, why could someone even rebel so ridiculously, and then suddenly realized -

[There are also people who rebelled and ascended the throne, established the desolate mountain village as the imperial capital, and promised to give five eggs to each villager who joined his country! ]

Then Bai Yang Cult Leader's...isn't it similar?

No! We think it's ridiculous!

A subtle desire to complain... "What kind of world am I living in? Are there really so many weirdos in the world?" enveloped the officials present, making them feel powerless all over -

what village emperor? Where did he come from? Why haven't they heard anyone report him?

＊

Another person ran in in a hurry. When he saw Bai Yang Cult Leader, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Cult Leader! Outside, outside..."

Bai Yang Cult Leader was not interested: "I know, the old emperor has come to Zhengzhou."

The man looked unbelievable and immediately boasted: "Cult Leader actually knew? Cult Leader is really powerful and has boundless magic power. I haven't reported it yet, but Cult Leader knows that the outside is surrounded by soldiers!"

Bai Yang Cult Leader nodded subconsciously: "I know..."

No! I don't know!

"What did you say?! We are surrounded by soldiers outside?!"

The person who came to report looked at the leader's panic-stricken appearance and suddenly felt as if his way forward was lost. He said in a daze: "Yes, from what we heard, the emperor is the one leading the troops."

"What?!"

"What?!"

After the Bai Yang leader was shocked, he turned his head to look at the group of people who came to listen to the scriptures and get eggs, and was very puzzled: "What's the matter with you?"

Shouldn't you be excited when you heard that soldiers were coming to rescue people?

The officials who shouted out were strangely silent for a while, looking at each other, and several generals stood up. The general rolled up his sleeves, revealing the bulging muscles on his arms: "I am the general of the court! You surrender quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Bai Yang Sect Leader was shocked: "People from the court?!"

How did people from the court sneak in? !

He didn't look carefully when he was standing on the stage before, but now after careful observation, his expression almost collapsed: "Who brought them in! Look at them, they are all strong and rosy, as if they can't afford to eat and plan to rebel!"

The traitor who brought people in silently shrank behind the crowd.

He noticed it, but as long as he could pull people in and get money, why bother so much? Many people standing below the stage had rosy faces.

In this day and age, who would really join the uprising if

they could have enough food to eat? It was all for the money. The general called out, "Think carefully, this is your chance to redeem yourself!"

The people in the church looked at each other, and those who were quick quickly pressed down those who were slow, "Surrender! We surrender!" They also covered the mouths of the people under them to prevent them from shouting the words of surrender.

The White Sun Cult leader had no chance to shout surrender, because as soon as the general finished shouting, several people pressed him down, intending to use him to surrender.

Things have developed to this point. Bai Yang Cult Master couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Who are you? Can you tell me? At least let me know."

"I am the Minister of Personnel of the imperial court."

Bai Yang Cult Master comforted himself: Fortunately, there won't be too many such high-ranking officials.

"I am the Minister of Revenue of the imperial court."

Bai Yang Cult Master's expression was a little stiff, but he still didn't give up, struggling to look at the third person.

The other party smiled slightly: "I am the Minister of the Imperial Court."

Bai Yang Cult Master was surprised: "I haven't heard of this!"

Minister of the Imperial Court:: )

Hehe.

Yongchang Marquis: "...Puff."

Bai Yang Cult Master looked at him. Yongchang Marquis proudly: "I am Yongchang Marquis, have you heard of it?"

Bai Yang Cult Master: ...

Great joy and great sorrow, almost choking.

The military achievements of Marquis Yongchang... in Daxia, even a three-year-old child knows about it. How could this small place like his have the honor to recruit Marquis Yongchang!

When listening to other people's reports, his mind was already in a trance -

"I am a doctor in the Ministry of Justice."

"Inspector Yushi."

"Well... not a big official, just a clerk in the Ministry of War."

"I am a clerk in the Ministry of Personnel!"

Bai Yang Sect Leader: "..."

So it's not the government who entered the thieves' nest, but we, the thieves, who entered the government's nest?

Bai Yang Sect Leader raised his hands and slapped himself on the face with a "snap".

It hurts.

It's not a dream.

Who on earth recruited this person? Why are he a thief with this ability? Go to the casino!

The rebel who brought the people in continued to retreat, retreat, and retreat...

＊

The old emperor was not surprised to hear that the White Sun Cult surrendered voluntarily - if he didn't know what kind of people this gang was, he wouldn't have felt at ease to earn the printing fee. Seeing

the officials return, he personally stepped forward and asked: "How are you, my dear ministers?" He

said "my dear ministers", but in fact, he glanced at Xu Yanmiao out of the corner of his eye.

Others: "..."

You'll get used to it.

The Minister of Finance stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask you."

The old emperor said casually, "What is it? My dear minister, tell me."

"Your Majesty, I heard that these anti-pirate scriptures were printed by the Hanjing Factory? Even the paper printed with the anti-pirate declaration was produced by the Hanjing Factory?"

The old emperor's eyelids jumped, and facing the Minister of Finance who was staring at him, he coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment: "This... uh, I just... just..."

The prefect of Zhengzhou who rushed over tried to reduce his presence.

He advised His Majesty, but His Majesty refused to listen, thinking that they had to find someone to print it anyway, so it would be better for me to do it than to give it to others.

The old emperor thought of something and suddenly became tough: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have let the Hanjing Factory print books against piracy! But your Ministry of Revenue is right! Look at how a great emperor can do what I did. If he wants to spend money, he has to find a way himself! Look at the person in the previous dynasty, who said to build a palace, build a palace, and to build a palace for cultivation!"

Xu Yanmiao whispered in his heart: [That's why he lost his country. If he didn't build a palace, you would still be at home farming. ]

The old emperor choked.

The old emperor glared at the Minister of Revenue: "So! What's wrong with me!"

The Minister of Revenue immediately admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty! All the mistakes are my fault! I am an honored official, but I can't share your worries!"

The Minister of Revenue knelt down with a bang: "Your Majesty! I am guilty of death!"

The old emperor paused, and his words softened: "That's not necessary... You should get up first, it's not your fault."

The Minister of Revenue stood up with tears of gratitude: "Thank you ,

Your Majesty!" The old emperor: "Then the reward I will give to you in the future..."

The Minister of Revenue knelt down with a bang: "Your Majesty! I am guilty of death!"

The old emperor: "..."
