It was dark in the imperial prison!
He entered the Great Zhou's imperial prison.
This also meant that the day of meeting the King of Hell was not far away.
Ever since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the prisoners who were sent to the imperial prison and could still come out alive were very rare.
It was extremely rare.
"Congratulations, Cao Zhengchun."
"I have to congratulate you too, Wei Zhongxian.”
"Haha, I didn't expect that the two of us would fight for half our lives and waste our martial arts. Before dying, he actually reached the Transcendent State at the same time. If the two of us meet that traitor Zhang Wuji again, we will definitely make him unable to return.”
"It's useless to say so much. The two of us will soon die together. I heard that the Commander and Deputy Commanders of the Brocade Guards have all been beheaded.”
"What, do you want to escape from here? If you really think that way, I, Cao Zhengchun, will be the first to disagree!”
"Haha, Cao Zhengchun, you think too much. Even if we can escape from here, the entire world is under the great heavenly cycle. Where can we escape to? "Moreover, because of our negligence, we almost caused a disaster. I, Wei Zhongxian, don't have the face to continue living.”
"Wei Zhongxian, I was right about you. Eighteen years later, we will serve His Majesty!”
"Someone is coming towards us. I'm afraid they're here to send us on our way.”
"You're afraid of me, Lord Cao!"
"I'm not afraid, but could it be that Lord Wei is afraid?”
"Haha, I'm not afraid that you'll laugh at me. I'm indeed afraid. However, Lord Cao is right. In our next life, we will still be loyal to His Majesty!”
There was no light in the prison.
A few people held torches and walked in front of Cao Zhengchun and Wei Zhongxian.
When Cao Zhengchun saw who it was, he laughed bitterly."Wang Zhen, I didn't expect it to be you. On account of the two of us taking care of you for so many years, give us a quick death. Eighteen years later, it won't be too late for Eunuch Wei and I to serve the Emperor again.”
"Milords, I have the Emperor's orders." Wang Zhen's face was solemn. Milords, kneel down and accept the decree!"
"Criminal Cao Zhengchun!"
"Wei Zhongxian!"
"Listen to the decree!"
Cao Zhengchun and Wei Zhongxian were excited. They didn't expect to hear the Emperor's orders before they died. They were both flattered.
Wang Zhen repeated the Emperor's words word for word,"Cao Zhengchun and Wei Zhongxian are in charge of the East and West Chambers. They failed to supervise and allowed the assassins to enter the palace. Although the escort had merit, his merit could not offset his fault, so he was demoted by one level and fined half a year's salary.”
Boom!
"I thank the emperor for not killing me! Long live our emperor!"
After Cao Zhengchun and Wei Zhongxian heard the imperial edict, their hearts churned and they were extremely excited. They were so grateful that they shed tears!
"Milords, return home first to wash away the bad luck on your body before returning to the palace to meet the Saint.”
"Thank you, Lord Wang. The bad luck in this prison is indeed heavy and should be washed away. We must not offend the emperor.”
Wang Zhen came from a poor family and had castrated himself into the palace. It was not easy for him to be a pen wielding eunuch. He quickly returned the greeting and said,"Lord Cao, Lord Wei, you two are too polite.”
Cao Zhengchun and Wei Zhongxian had escaped from the gates of hell. They had benefited from the disaster and their martial arts had reached the peak.
Their loyalty to the Emperor grew.
If it wasn't for the Emperor's leniency, the two of them would have already met the King of Hell.
Of course, at this moment, Ji Hao was still in the middle of treating Wu Mei Niang.
Although Shangguan Wan 'er had great wisdom and the ability to govern the country, she was still very talented.
However, Tian Tian was by his side.
He was also a little tired of it.
This Wu Meiniang, who knows where she learned this method from. For a few nights, she kept playing tricks.
The emperor was very happy.
Even Ji Hao, who had mastered the Yellow Emperor's cultivation base.
He also sighed at why there were emperors who loved beauties and not the country in history!
femme fatale!
Facing a peerless beauty whose smile could topple cities and countries, even a peerless hero would inevitably fall into her sweet moans.
Inside Yangxin Hall.
Ji Hao calmed himself down and started reading the memorials.
All the officials in the court seemed to be intimidated by him, but the imperial power was not as simple as they imagined.
For the sake of the Great Zhou Empire's eternal stability, for the sake of the throne, for the sake of ruling the world!
He had to do this!
Shangguan Wan 'er grinded the top-grade pine ink while looking at Ji Hao's face and said in a low voice,""Emperor, Minister Li is outside the palace asking for an audience. He seems to be in a hurry and has something urgent to attend to.”
"Announce!"
"This old official Li Si pays his respects to the Emperor. Our spies have intercepted many secret letters, which are irrefutable evidence of the secret collusion between the King of Xixia and the eldest son of the Turkic Khagan! The eldest son of this Turkic Khan is said to be very resourceful. Under the assault of the Great Zhou army, he has already unified more than half of the Turkic tribes and become the new Turkic Khan. I don't know what benefits this Xixia King has obtained from the Turks, but he has already gathered two hundred thousand soldiers to invade our Great Zhou!”
"This Xixia is a vassal state of my Great Zhou. This Xixia King is respectful to me on the surface. Perhaps the Turks had already given Xixia King enough benefits to move him, causing him to be so rebellious. Since this Xixia King had disloyal intentions, then there was no need to keep him.”
"I order Lu Bu to be the Commander-in-chief, Li Yuanba to be the Deputy Commander-in-chief, and the Assistant Ministers of the Ministry of War, Zhang Liang and Xiao He, to be the Military Counselors.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Si said with respect.”
"You can go."
After Li Si left.
Ji Hao narrowed his eyes.
Xixia, Goguryeo, Dongying, Jianzhou Jurchen, Annam…these vassal states of the Great Zhou.
Pay tribute year after year.
To submit to the Great Zhou Emperor!
However, these vassal states had a high degree of autonomy. Once they had the intention to disobey, they could not be controlled at all. They could only be conquered by the army!
He had to find a foolproof plan!
To solve this problem.
He already had a plan in mind.
The easiest way to control these vassal states was to strictly control the economy and the military!
The Great Zhou could gather troops and station them in these vassal states!
Be it within or outside the borders of the vassal states, they had to be strictly controlled by the Great Zhou!
Most importantly, the troops of the vassal states were controlled by the generals stationed in the vassal states!
And these generals had to be trustworthy.
One imperial edict after another was passed out.
The Great Zhou was recruiting troops in the nineteen provinces of the world…
In the bedroom of the Xixia King.
At this moment, a man in his forties was playing with several Turkic beauties.
This person was the Xixia King. He was beaming with joy as he thought,"This new Turkic Khan is truly generous. Not only did you give this king sixty thousand Turkic warhorses, but you also gave me one hundred and eight Turkic beauties and two million taels of silver. You even helped this king break away from the Great Zhou and establish a dynasty.…And the condition is that I have to invade the Great Zhou.”
At this moment, a eunuch came in from outside.”
Xixia Wang frowned and said coldly,""Didn't this king order him and the historian to write the history of the West Mansion? Why is he here? This king doesn't want to see him.”
