Thanks to the advance deployment of Taipingwei, in addition to the rescue work proceeding in an orderly manner, Taiping County, a small county that has suffered many disasters, seems to have returned to its former tranquility again.

The simple and tolerant nature will not change because of the enlightenment of the people, especially after seeing the giant dragon bowing its head in the river and the Taiping Guards suffering heavy casualties around them, even if they feel regretful, the people are willing to impose this hatred on the ghost plague.

From an emotional point of view, this is nothing wrong. However, for the Jin Dynasty, which is ruled by law, this matter will be difficult to resolve if a group of people are not removed from their posts.

Da Jin, Shuntian Prefecture.

“Ding~Ding~Ding~”

The end of three whip sounds represented the beginning of the morning court session. Emperor Qi Ling had taken Emperor Taizu as his role model since he was young, and after he ascended the throne he also worked hard, getting up early and going to bed late.

Culture, military, politics... no matter from which angle, he can be called a king of revival. It must be said that it is indeed a bit tiring to serve under such an emperor, but there is no doubt that their chances of leaving their names in history in the future will be much higher than ordinary people.

All one seeks in life is fame and fortune. With this in mind, the ministers can be considered to be conscientious.

But after seeing the soldiers standing ready for battle outside the hall, the atmosphere today seemed a little different.

With light steps, people dressed in red and purple slowly stepped into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but before they could stand still, Emperor Qi Ling, wearing a crane-wing crown and bright yellow casual clothes, had already stood under the Golden Throne.

Your Majesty, have you stayed up all night again? Although Emperor Qi Ling is now in his prime and it is a good thing for him not to indulge in women, as the helmsman of the Great Jin, he should still take care of his body.

It was obvious that Emperor Qi Ling's early arrival was not the first or second time, and the ministers were used to it. Some censors had even prepared impeachment memorials on the spot, waiting only for the morning court session to trick the emperor into coming early.

However, Emperor Qi Ling was the emperor of mankind after all. Even though it was a little against etiquette at the moment, out of respect for Emperor Qi Ling, the ministers knelt down hurriedly.

"Your Highness, I wish you all the best."

His Majesty Taizu was born in humble circumstances and rose to prominence in turbulent times, so it was inevitable that he was somewhat harsh in his treatment of his civil officials.

However, the Jin Dynasty had already lasted for three centuries. After years of baptism, the original commoner had developed the nobleness of an emperor.

As a qualified leader, Emperor Qi Ling usually doesn't bother to listen to flattery, and will not do such shameful things as bullying others by taking advantage of his power.

Whether they were military generals, nobles, or Confucian scholars and officials, almost everyone knew that this kneeling was just a formality and they would be able to stand up again the next moment.

But what was surprising was that after a whole cup of tea had passed, they still didn't hear the familiar voice of "I'm fine".

Cold sweat soaked their collars, and the slightly weak civil officials even began to tremble. Due to the delay in news, no one knew what had happened to make Emperor Qi Ling so angry.

But what everyone knew was that the man in front of them definitely had the courage to kill.

His Majesty Taizu once said that the ministers' red robes were dyed red with the blood of the people.

Considering the three former teachers of the crown prince, Gao Zhan had previously thought that this statement was a bit too harsh, but when he looked at it again now, he could only admire Taizu's foresight.

After narrowing his beautiful phoenix eyes and forcibly suppressing his anger, Emperor Qi Ling spoke coldly this time.

"I'm fine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Qi Ling sat on the dragon throne in his yellow boots. Before the people who had walked in could feel relieved, a loud shout from the eunuch Lin Zhili, who held the seal, made them all hang in the balance again.

…

"Zhu Yan is blocking the Yanmen Pass, banditry breaks out in Nurgandusi, the Yangtze River turns into a dragon... Some people have been standing for too long and want to kneel down again.

That's right, you have all worked hard for so many years. Looking around, who is not a pillar of the country? Who is not a royal relative? It seems that I am ashamed of you. After all, if everyone is guilty, the fault lies with me. "

Wang Lun was a Jinshi who passed the imperial examination during the Yuanshou period. He was originally sent out to serve as a county magistrate. It was not until the second year of the Qiling period that he entered the Qingliu circle because of their fellow townsmen’s friendship.

As a qualified troll, no, imperial envoy, in order to save the emperor's face, he didn't even wait for everyone to exchange glances. After hearing what Emperor Qi Ling said, he shouted: "I dare not."

Having been in the officialdom for many years, he naturally knew some of the unspoken rules. However, after he said this, Wang Lun not only did not hear the crowd agreeing, but the leader of the Qingliu, the Minister of Personnel Li Feng, even ignored the rage of Emperor Qi Ling, and turned around and gave Wang Lun an angry look.

No matter how you look at it, what he said was definitely wrong. But before Wang Lun could react to what he had done wrong, a memorial with a red border fell directly in front of him.

Since ancient times, the changes of dynasties have followed the principle of generation and restraint. The Qin Dynasty belonged to the water virtue, so it was replaced by the Han Dynasty, which belonged to the earth virtue. Similarly, because the Yuan Dynasty belonged to the gold virtue, the Jin Dynasty that replaced it naturally regarded itself as the fire virtue.

To express joy, even the clothing culture of the Jin Dynasty is dominated by red. However, although red is a good color, there is one thing that you cannot touch under any circumstances.

Looking at the military report in front of him, without even looking at the contents, just by looking at the bright red border, Wang Lun knew that a blood debt had definitely occurred. And judging from the furious expression of Emperor Qi Ling, the number was probably not low.

"how……"

Without waiting for Wang Lun to pick it up, Emperor Qi Ling's words exploded in Wang Lun's ears like thunder, frightening him so much that he curled up like a quail.

Emperor Qi Ling did not expect that the other party would have such a big reaction. Seeing that the other party was sweating profusely and had no blood in his body, a trace of disdain flashed across Emperor Qi Ling's eyes. But then a brilliant idea emerged in his mind.

"I remember you, Wang Lun, right? If I remember correctly, Minister Li was your teacher during the imperial examination. When you entered the capital, did Minister Li tell you how your predecessor died? What , you want to cheat the court? Do you also want to leave your name in history?"

"Bang~Bang~Bang~"

As a seasoned man, Wang Lun knew very well that making excuses was the most useless means when the emperor was furious. Now he could only use the dull sound of kowtow to fight a way out for himself.

"Alright, stop knocking your head. If you really die here, my reputation of being cold and mean will be solidified.

I know that many of you are dissatisfied with my Gao family sitting on this position, but as long as I am still in this position, you will still be the subjects of the Great Jin.

Wang Lun, listen carefully. We won't make it difficult for you. From Qiongzhou Prefecture in the south to Nurgandusi in the north, you can deliver a message for us to the enthroned gods in various places.

If you don’t want to, then let’s not live together!”

Without having time to think, as soon as Emperor Qi Ling finished speaking, Wang Lun directly thanked the emperor for his grace, not caring whether there was any trap or not. He was already thankful that he could save his life under such circumstances.
