Chapter 165 Li Min'an's Worry
No matter what Li Min'an was thinking at this moment, it didn't matter. What mattered was that all the people saw that Li Min'an knocked down General Shao Rongwei with one blow, and made the 50,000 elite soldiers sent by the court to attack him surrender!
Isn’t this the Emperor of Heaven? Isn’t this the almighty Emperor that people imagine?
So people were partying and rejoicing, and in such a passionate atmosphere, Zhuge Tianzong waved the fan in his hand and had already guessed the direction and ending of the story.
After the army surrendered, even though the gates of Yong'an County where Li Min'an was located were wide open, the soldiers from the capital only retreated one kilometer and set up camp. Shao Rongwei, on the other hand, entered Yong'an County with his confidants and formally had his first conversation with his future lord.
"General Shao is truly extraordinary."
Li Min'an sighed, thinking of the half-smile on the face of Princess Liu Wen of King Ying at that time, he knew that in her previous life, Liu Wen must have known that General Shao had surrendered directly before the battle, so she looked like that.
Thinking of the sudden appearance of the enemy's family members, Li Min'an was speechless. He thought it was surprising that they had to go through this even after surrendering.
"My lord, you are so kind! After this battle, you have become a king known to all the world! I, Shao Rongwei, was merely a defeated disciple of yours."
I have to say Shao Rongwei is smart. He not only surrendered, but also directly submitted a letter of surrender, handing himself and his trusted family members to Li Min'an. He almost said, "I am surrendering sincerely. My family members are in your hands. You should be relieved, right?"
Not only that, Shao Rongwei also wants to trample on his own reputation and give Li Min'an a name that is resounding throughout the world. After all, how great Shao Rongwei's reputation was in the past, how great Li Min'an's reputation will be in the future after he has defeated him.
This is a very good thing for Li Min'an.
"..." Li Min'an was helpless, but Zhuge Tianzong on the side spoke with a smile.
"My lord, you have always admired General Shao. I heard that General Shao could go in and out of the Xiongnu grasslands seven times, defeating the Xiongnu people. Later, he had no choice but to stay in Kyoto to protect the emperor. This time, General Shao is fighting for the people of the world."
If a battle could end without bloodshed and sacrifice, and a dynasty could be replaced without being stained with blood, wouldn’t that be the best ending?
In fact, if there were no gods, the world would have been in chaos long ago.
However, it was precisely because of the advent of the gods that the princes of other places did not dare to act rashly.
King Gao Xu of Liang died for disrespecting the gods, King Gao Zhan of Qi died from the dragon god's thunderbolt, King Gao Kun of Yin died from the fox king's corpse, and even the imperial palace in Kyoto is still burning after being struck by fire from the sky, so everyone is actually scared.
Now, apart from the several princes who had died, the only one left in Kyoto was Emperor Gao Xi. He was timid to begin with and didn't dare to fight against the gods. He just wanted to take advantage of Li Min'an, who was a weakling.
But now four of the Eight Kings are dead, the Dongyin area has been occupied by Li Min'an, and King Jin Gaoyi died at the hands of Li Min'an. Who of the remaining four kings dares to act recklessly?
King Gao Hong of Ying was stationed at the frontier, with his fief in Yunhe. Outside, there were countless Huns to defeat. Even with 300,000 soldiers under his command, it was useless as he could not spare any troops to deal with any of them.
King Gao Qian of Zhou, whose fief was Changshui, was closest to Anjiang of King Gao Hu of Chu. Both of them must have recruited troops early on, but unfortunately, neither of them dared to act rashly, for fear of accidentally provoking the gods.
The remaining one is Gao Miao, the King of An in Jianan. Jianan is sandwiched between Huai'an and Beiyang, so it will be easy to take over if nothing unexpected happens.
It can be said that the current safety of Beiyang, Huai'an and Lingzhou proves one thing, that is, with the title of God, even if the royal family of Daxia dies, the people in various places are still safe and sound, and the officials in various places dare not act rashly, and they may even be waiting for Li Min'an to become king.
The Hundred-Change Star Lord descended to earth to endure trials and tribulations in order to support the mortal emperor. Who wouldn't be eager for this new emperor to love his people like his own children? The decadent Great Xia is coming to an end. Perhaps it will take countless lives to end this, but with the intervention of the gods, perhaps the transfer of imperial power will be more peaceful.
The people are not fools. If they can't live a good life with Daxia, why should they still want to serve Daxia? Therefore, compared with many former officials and noble families of Daxia, the ones who want Li Min'an to overthrow Daxia the most are none other than all the former people of Daxia.
Zhuge Tianzong knew all this, and so did Shao Rongwei. It was true that the world was above imperial power, but the people could overthrow the imperial power under oppression, and they could also bring up a new emperor. It was obvious that Li Min'an, who came from the people and even returned the land to the people, was the new king of the world.
Li Min'an will become the first emperor in history who is supported by the people and hated by the aristocratic families.
Along the way, Shao Rongwei knew that Li Min'an not only took over Dongyin, but also killed many powerful families and liberated many slaves. It can be said that he truly stood against the aristocratic families. If this were the case, one could find the ending of such a person by flipping through history books.
If an ordinary person did this, he would have been killed by those people from the aristocratic families long ago.
But with gods in the world, and Li Min'an even blessed by them, who would dare to act rashly? Do you want to go against the gods and not live anymore?
"Mortals like us only do what we can to live with a clear conscience. When I, Shao Rongwei, conquered the Xiongnu, I thought I would spend my life on the battlefield. However, things turned out to be unpredictable, and I ended up becoming a general guarding the capital. Now, I have received news from the Hundred Changes Star Lord, saying that you, my lord, are the future Human Emperor. If I insist on going to war, even if it causes great suffering to all people, how can I bear such a crime?"
That’s right, Shao Rongwei wanted to surrender, but he didn’t expect to receive news from the Lord of Change on the way. The news was delivered by a bird. The bird could speak human language and convey the Lord of Change’s orders.
The Star Lord of Changes is now in Huai'an, where the Phoenix King lives. Therefore, when Shao Rongwei encountered a bird that could speak human language, he realized that this matter could not be fake. Li Min'an was the common ruler of the world whom the Star Lord of Changes came down to earth to support.
Shao Rongwei couldn't bear to see such things happening, as the world was suffering.
His soldiers could die at the hands of the Huns or on the grasslands, but they could not die at the hands of their own people.
When Li Min'an heard Shao Rongwei's words, even though he had already known from Liu Wen that he had ascended the throne in his previous life, and was even now regarded as the Lord of Destiny by the Hundred Changes Star Lord, he still felt an inexplicable uneasiness.
He was not ready yet, he was not ready to be emperor, but everyone seemed to be urging him to move forward in a hurry, to take over Dongyin, Ling Zhou sent by Princess Ying, and the 50,000 troops brought by Shao Rongwei.
They came for his title as the Emperor of Heaven, but could he really control them? Could he really destroy Daxia, establish his own court, and let the people of the world live a good life?
It all happened so fast that before Li Min'an was even ready to become the king, everyone was already expecting him to become a king whose reputation would last forever.
"It's not just me. I'm afraid many generals in Daxia have more or less received the news from the Hundred Changes Star Lord. Daxia is about to fall and a new emperor is born. If possible, as generals, they all don't want to see the battlefield stained with blood."
This was the reminder Qin Lang gave. Daxia was already nearing its end. Without Li Min'an, the Human Emperor, the people and soldiers would die in the process of the Eight Kings' struggle for hegemony. Daxia would be invaded by the Huns, and the people would still be living in dire straits.
But now everyone knows that the Daxia ship is about to sink, and the gods are showing you the way, saying that there is a new big ship ahead. As long as you are willing, you can board this new big ship. Who would not want to board this ship?
Only those officials and noble families who are truly cruel and have done evil things do not want to board this new ship. They want to build a new ship with themselves at the helm. Unfortunately, as long as there are gods in the world, this new ship is destined to not be built.
Li Min'an felt even more uneasy when he heard what Shao Rongwei said. After sending Shao Rongwei and his men away, Li Min'an stayed alone in the study for a long time.
He didn't know whether he could really take responsibility for the entire world, nor did he know how to manage this huge world.
It happened too fast, so fast that before he was ready, the gods had already planned to hand the whole world over to him.
Is this great gift from God a gift or a punishment?
In the end, Li Min'an did not sleep all night. On the next day, he saw Zhuge Tianzong who had stayed with him outside the study all night.
"gentlemen……"
Li Min'an wanted to say something but stopped himself, but Zhuge Tianzong had already seen through the person's thoughts.
"Go and ask, my lord, go and ask the gods what you should do."
Zhuge Tianzong admitted that his lord was a very charismatic, capable, and quick learner, but now everything was developing too fast. Less than two months after the uprising, his lord not only captured Dongyin, but also took over Lingzhou.
Not only that, there are also 50,000 troops sent by General Shao Rongwei. These good lucks seem to have fallen from the sky and hit the lord, but will they bring good or bad?
Indeed, everyone believed that Li Min'an had such ability, the ability to build a new dynasty, and the ability to control hundreds of officials and even tens of thousands of soldiers.
But everyone has forgotten that just two months ago, Li Min'an was just a simple poor citizen. Even though he was full of hatred and gathered some people, he was just an ordinary person.
Such a person suddenly bears the responsibility of the whole world, and even everyone has to tell him that he is a good emperor and the king destined by heaven. Wouldn’t Li Min’an be panicked?
He had not yet been baptized by the flames of war, nor had he become a true emperor through repeated wars, but he already had the support of the people of the entire Daxia. People did not give him any chance to grow, and made him a true natural emperor.
Is this possible?
Zhuge Tianzong watched Li Min'an walk along the way and naturally understood his thoughts, so he said these words.
Since the gods put Li Min'an on the fire, they must have a way to solve the current dilemma.
Li Min'an nodded and looked at Zhuge Tianzong.
"I'll leave the matter of Dongyin to you, sir. I want to go to Huai'an to meet the Lord of Changes and seek the answer in my heart."
This time, Li Min'an put aside his previous resentment and no longer wanted to ask the gods for his deceased parents. Instead, he truly worked for the people of the world.
He went there to ask, how can he become a true emperor?
It was not Li Shenxian who was pushed forward by everyone, nor was he the one who was fanned by the flames.
How did Li Min'an become a true emperor?
