Volume 1, Chapter 125: Want to live forever, kill Yue Shenqiang
In the Golden Palace.
When all the civil and military officials in the court heard that the Emperor of the Great Zhou was going to remove Yang Wudi, one of the most important meritorious officials, from his post, take him to the capital, and imprison him for punishment.
Everyone couldn't help but curse in their hearts, "What a tyrant king."
But at this moment, the civil officials and military generals showed completely opposite attitudes.
General Cao Changqiu and a group of military officers immediately stepped out and said in a sad voice, "Your Majesty, General Yang Wudi has made great contributions in fighting the enemy. How can you treat such a meritorious official like this?"
"Yes! Your Majesty cannot do this! We will not accept this!"
The generals came out one after another.
What a joke! If you are going to punish Yang Wudi, how can we fight this war?
The Great Zhou Emperor looked at these generals, sneered, slammed the table and roared: "Even if Yang Wudi has made contributions, he cannot embezzle 400,000 taels of silver privately."
"It is a serious crime to embezzle the imperial treasury without authorization!"
That’s 400,000 taels of silver!
Do you know how many beauties can be selected?
A general with a violent temper in the court said angrily: "Your Majesty, what you said is very disheartening!"
"How many frontline soldiers died in the battle of Honghua City?"
"What's wrong with using the seized silver to provide relief to the people and soldiers at the front?"
"This will not only stabilize the morale of the army, but also show that our Great Zhou Dynasty cares about its people. This will bring honor to your majesty!"
"But Your Majesty has used this incident to convict Marshal Yang. If this is the case, who will dare to fight for the Great Zhou and die for the enemy in the future?"
Every general cursed the Emperor of Zhou in their hearts.
Many people even thought about resigning. If there is a big war to be fought next time, many people will not want to lead troops to fight.
I'm fighting for my life in the front line, but now I have to be suspected by you, the emperor. It's so boring to be a general!
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty's face turned red after being confronted by these people. He wanted to refute, but he had no good excuse.
He pointed at the general for a long time without saying a word.
He was so angry that he couldn't even defeat these crude warriors?
Suddenly, he felt like he was useless.
When the civil officials saw this, some of them immediately stepped forward to defend the emperor, saying, "No matter what, it is a serious crime to use the seized silver without authorization!"
"But we can first call Yang Wudi back to the capital to report on his work. As for whether to convict him or not? We can hold a grand court meeting to discuss the matter after Yang Wudi returns to the capital."
As they spoke, these civil officials gave the Emperor of the Great Zhou a look.
I thought to myself, you are so stupid, how can you say this in front of all the civil and military officials?
Aren’t you afraid that Yang Wudi will lead his troops back to deal with you?
Especially with Bai Qi in front!
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty understood immediately and broke out in a cold sweat. Yang Wudi was now the commander-in-chief at the front with 200,000 elite soldiers under his command, and he also had a killing god like Bai Qi with him.
If he aroused the anger of Yang Wuji and Bai Qi towards him, they might just lead their troops to destroy him!
When the time comes to punish, it’s still unclear who will punish whom!
The Great Zhou Emperor coughed lightly, then said slowly: "Just now, I was not thoughtful enough. Thanks to the reminder of my dear ministers, I will let Yang Wudi return to the capital to report on his work first, and we will discuss the rest of the matter between the monarch and his ministers!"
Seeing that the Emperor of the Great Zhou had surrendered, the generals felt better. Although the Emperor of the Great Zhou seemed to want to deal with Yang Wudi, at least he had given in.
The generals snorted coldly and returned to their own ranks.
It can be considered as a way to give the Emperor of Zhou a way out.
The Emperor of Great Zhou immediately issued an order, saying:
"Pass on my imperial decree, summon Yang Wudi back to the capital to report on his duties. While Yang Wudi is back in the capital, order Bai Qi to replace Yang Wudi and guard Honghua City."
He has already thought it through. When dealing with Yang Wudi, he cannot call Bai Qi back. If Bai Qi comes back, who knows what kind of trouble will happen.
By the time Yang Wudi is dealt with, the matter will be a fait accompli. Even if Bai Qi wants to make trouble, he will have no chance!
Could it be possible that Yang Wudi could come back to life?
After making up his mind, the Emperor of the Great Zhou happily prepared to leave the court.
At this moment, another sharp military report was heard outside.
"Report!"
Upon hearing the news of war, the Emperor of the Great Zhou felt a headache and immediately summoned the messenger into the palace.
The armor worn by this messenger is clearly a unique symbol of Yue Family Army.
After he came in, he immediately reported to the emperor:
"Marshal Yue has led his troops to attack the capital of Beiliang. He can destroy the country in one battle!"
"The King of Beiliang begs for surrender. Marshal Yue dares not make a decision on his own. Please ask the Emperor to make a decision!"
"Should we accept the other side's surrender, or destroy the country in one battle?"
After these words were spoken, everyone in the court was shocked again.
Is this true or false? Have you reached their lair?
Oh my god! Doesn’t this mean that Beiliang will be destroyed?
The generals rubbed their hands excitedly, wishing they were Yue Shenqiang. Why didn’t they get such a good thing?
This is the achievement of destroying a country!
His contribution is no less than Bai Qi’s.
So the generals immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we cannot accept their surrender at this time! We must fight and destroy the country! This is a great opportunity to expand our territory."
General Cao Changqiu's face also flushed, and he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this time our Great Zhou is really blessed with great fortune."
"In the northwest, we defeated the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu Khan acknowledged Your Majesty as his godfather, which is equivalent to submitting to our Great Zhou!"
"In the northeast, if Yue Shenqiang destroys Beiliang in one fell swoop, the territory of our Great Zhou will expand rapidly."
"The Great Zhou was founded 854 years ago. When it comes to military might, the present is the best!"
The more they talked, the more excited they became.
It was as if he was the one fighting this battle.
However, as he is the leader of the military generals, such achievements are more or less related to him.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou was also very happy and almost jumped up from the dragon throne.
This is really shit luck. He hardly ever attends court, but this can still destroy the country?
The generals in this term are really awesome.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou felt like he had won without any effort.
He has no choice but to become the eternal sage king.
Just when the Emperor of the Great Zhou was about to give the order to let Yue Shenqiang directly destroy Beiliang, an urgent report came from outside the palace.
"The Beiliang envoy has arrived!"
Before the Emperor of the Great Zhou gave the order for the other party to go to the palace, suddenly, a figure flashed into the hall.
It was the special envoy from Beiliang.
“Bold!”
When the guards in front of the palace saw this man being so presumptuous, they all drew their swords.
But just as they drew their swords, the Beiliang envoy waved his hand, and a gust of wind blew past, and all the steel swords in the hands of the guards in front of the palace were shattered into powder.
The Great Zhou Emperor's face suddenly changed, and he said in horror: "You are a cultivator!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the Third Priest came in: "Beiliang State Master, how dare you enter my Great Zhou Imperial City? Are you looking for death?"
With a loud bang, a giant hand came down.
The Beiliang envoy snorted coldly and stomped the ground lightly. With a loud bang, a big hole was stepped out in the Golden Throne Hall. He stretched out his hand and crushed the giant hand that came from the void.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou was so frightened that he had already crawled under the table, trembling all over.
The Third Priest wanted to continue his attack, but the Northern Liang Imperial Master said with a smile, "The Northern Liang is about to be destroyed. I am here to discuss something with the Great Zhou Emperor, and I have no intention of becoming an enemy of the Great Zhou Imperial Priest!"
"But if you continue to push me, I don't mind being destroyed along with the entire Great Zhou Imperial City!"
He stood with his hands behind his back, a look of determination in his eyes.
If Beiliang were to be destroyed, their Beiliang Imperial Master lineage would become a lost cause.
At this moment, he was ready to fight to the death.
At this moment, the three priests had already stood beside the dragon throne, staring at the Beiliang Imperial Master in front of them with deep eyes.
If we really go to war with this person here, the entire Great Zhou Imperial City will probably be destroyed.
He hesitated.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty screamed, "I want to talk! I want to talk! Don't do anything, let's talk it over."
He didn't dare let the Beiliang State Master fight with the Three Priests, because he knew very well how terrifying this top-level combat power was.
Any aftermath of a battle could shatter him into pieces.
The corner of Beiliang's State Master's mouth curled up into a smile, and then he said with satisfaction: "I have long heard that the Emperor of the Great Zhou knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm. If my Beiliang Kingdom is really destroyed, then my life will also be destroyed along with Beiliang!"
His words made the Emperor of Zhou feel even colder.
This is a fight to the death!
How could he not know how terrifying a powerful person who is almost going crazy is?
Just as he was swallowing his saliva frantically, he heard the Northern Liang State Master say in a deep voice:
"As long as the Great Zhou withdraws its troops, I, Beiliang, can agree to any conditions!"
"Including allowing the Emperor of the Great Zhou to gain immortality!"
What! ?
At this moment, the eyes of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty lit up and he crawled out from under the table. The fear he had just felt was gone and his face was full of greed.
"Immortality! Is it really possible?"
As an emperor on earth, what he desires most is immortality, so that he can enjoy wealth and glory for generations to come.
The Beiliang State Master didn't waste any words and took out a pill from his body. The rich fragrance made everyone feel refreshed.
The third priest exclaimed: "Eternal Spring Pill!"
He was very familiar with this kind of medicine, he had taken it before.
Upon hearing the name of this elixir, the eyes of the Emperor of the Great Zhou turned green. The Changchun Pill can keep one's youthful appearance forever. For those who have not cultivated well, it can increase their lifespan by 300 years.
Although it’s a little short of immortality, it can allow people to live for over 300 years, which is simply an elixir!
Moreover, he can maintain his youthful physical strength, which is simply the best medicine for an emperor.
He went to the harem again.
There will be no situation where you are powerless.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou no longer cared how terrifying the Northern Liang Imperial Master in front of him was. He rushed forward in one step, wanting to grab the pill in his hand and swallow it immediately.
The Northern Liang State Master waved his hand lightly, and the Emperor of the Great Zhou was separated by an invisible wall.
He looked at the Emperor of the Great Zhou who was so anxious, and a smile flashed in his eyes. This reaction was right!
Beiliang State Master played with the elixir in his hand and said word by word:
"It's easy for the Great Zhou Emperor to get this elixir. Just agree to my two conditions!"
"You said, let alone two conditions, even ten of us would agree!" The Emperor of the Great Zhou stared at the pills, almost drooling.
"No, Your Majesty! There is still fighting ahead. How can you make a deal with the Northern Liang Imperial Master?" General Cao Changqiu immediately dissuaded him.
"Shut up!" The Great Zhou Emperor was furious, then turned around and said to the Northern Liang State Master with a friendly expression: "Master State Master, please speak."
"you!"
General Cao Changqiu was so angry that his liver ached.
The Northern Liang State Master laughed loudly. This was exactly the effect he wanted. He immediately said:
"My conditions are very simple, and it is very easy for the Emperor of Great Zhou to do it."
"First, the Great Zhou will withdraw its troops immediately and return the land occupied by Beiliang immediately. Beiliang can sign an alliance with the Great Zhou and never attack each other again."
"Second, kill Yue Shenqiang! Sacrifice the blood of our Beiliang men!"
