The burly man.
Three years later.
The Imperial Capital, Luoyang City.
Weiyang Palace.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for fusing with the Great Han Nation's Fate and successfully activating the system.”
The progress bar reached 100%, and the game returned to normal.
Liu Hong wiped the sweat off his forehead and heaved a sigh of relief.
After hiding for nearly a month, he had not only activated the system but also received a flood of memories.
The world had changed, and he understood his new identity. He was the twenty-third emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, the twelfth emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Jianning, known as Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
The emperor who was awake and in control of the world, drunk on the knees of a beauty.
It was the eighteenth year of the Jianning Emperor's reign.
As a result, the Emperor of Jianning made a big move and built the Palace of Naked Travel. As the name suggested, it was a place where the Emperor and many palace maids rowed without wearing clothes.
As the saying goes, if one often floated on water, how could one not capsize? On a certain wanton night, the Emperor of Jianning fell into the water.
Liu Hong, who had transmigrated from the New Era, naturally inherited all the inheritance of his predecessor.
If not for the system, Liu Hong would have slit his throat on the spot.
The Great Han Empire's national strength had declined to the extreme. The Imperial Court was dark, eunuchs ran amok, and the commoners were in dire straits.
In history, the notorious act of selling official posts and titles had become a ladder for countless wealthy and powerful people to rise up.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and other ancestors left behind the Imperial Guards, the Three Rivers and Five Schools, and other imperial guards that were invincible in Asia and Europe. Due to the emptiness of the national treasury, they were facing disbandment.
……
Ding! The Newbie Gift Pack has been successfully opened.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the following items.
National Blessing. [Note: Passive skill. As long as the empire is not destroyed, the Great Han will not be destroyed. The host will not die or age.]
Blessed by the fate of the country. [Note: Passive skill. Within the empire, anyone who is hostile to the host will have their luck reduced by 50%.]
The fate of the country was watching. [Note: Passive skill. The Host's gaze can see the loyalty of the Empire's subjects.]
Punishment of national fate. Note: Active skill. The host can turn the power of the country's fate into heavenly punishment and control lightning to punish the enemy. [Note: The range of the Divine Punishment is limited by the strength of the country's fate. The current punishment range is within a hundred meters of the host.]
"It's becoming more and more like a game."
"Heavenly Punishment?"
Liu Hong looked at his palm. A purple lightning was twisting and changing. This thing could kill.
The three passive skills ensured that Liu Hong could continue to be the emperor.
Heavenly Punishment was the key to maintaining the emperor's dignity.
When the emperor was angry, millions of people died.
It was never just talk.
……
"Dong dong dong!"
"Your Majesty, the Western Expedition Army has returned to the capital. I have ordered people to prepare wine and food to reward the army.”
"Sikong Zhang Wen and General Dong Zhuo wish to see Your Majesty, but I have followed Your Majesty's orders and rejected them one by one.”
The head of the Ten Attendants, Zhang Rang, knocked lightly on the palace gate and reported on the government affairs of the court.
"Come in!"
A voice rang out.
Zhang Rang, who wanted to get up and leave, was stunned.
Although he was close to the Emperor, he had not heard the Emperor's voice since the day he fell into the water, let alone the Emperor's summoning.
He pushed the door open and entered.
Zhang Rang arched his body and raised his head slightly. When he saw the Emperor in high spirits, especially when the Emperor had put on his dragon robe, he was shocked.
Although he was shocked, his movements were not slow.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Ever since that day when Your Majesty fell into the water and was frightened, I wished I could replace him with my body. I burned incense and prayed day and night, praying that the gods and Buddhas in the sky would protect Your Majesty. Today, I can see that Your Majesty is in good health.”
Zhang Rang fell to his knees with a thud. His words were filled with pain and regret, and he even squeezed out a few drops of tears.
"Get up!"
The corner of Liu Hong's mouth twitched, and he said seriously,""Zhen asked you some questions, you have to answer truthfully.”
"This subject's life is Your Majesty's, and Your Majesty can take it away at any time. How would I dare to hide anything? I will definitely tell you everything I know.”
"Will the Western Expedition Army win or lose?"
"Your Majesty, it was a victory. Sikong Zhang was in Liangzhou, and his plan to attack the Qiang and Xiongnu was seen through. Five of the six armies failed, and only Dong Zhuo's army killed thousands of enemies and drove them away.”
Zhang Rang cupped his hands and smiled.
Say something.
It was not nice to hear words that were too true.
If it was too fake, it would be easily exposed.
After entering the palace for decades, he naturally knew how to speak to the Emperor.
Nine true and one false.
It was true that he had killed thousands of enemies.
It was true that the enemy had retreated. As for whether Dong Zhuo had driven them away, was it important?
Zhang Rang touched the gold ingot in his sleeve without batting an eyelid. The smile on his face grew brighter. This was the most important thing.
"If it's really as you said, killing the enemy and driving them away is not too much of a reward.”
Liu Hong glanced at him with a half-smile and continued,""After the foreign enemies finished speaking, they said that there was internal strife. It's been three years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, right?”
"Your Majesty, it has been three years!"
"Back then, it was the old generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Xi who killed the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang, as well as the main force of the Yellow Turban bandits.”
"As Your Majesty said, the main villain has been killed, the main force has been eliminated, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban army are no match for them. The government troops of the prefectures and counties have been organized and scattered in a wave of charge.”
"Is that true?"
A cold light flashed in Liu Hong's eyes.
In his previous life, he was a top student in the History Department. He clearly remembered that the Yellow Turban Rebellion had subsided, but it had been divided into countless remnants of evil, big and small, and had wreaked havoc on the Central Plains for decades.
For example, Zhang Yan's " Black Mountain Army " had once grown to millions of people. Returning to their hometown was called a mopping up, not farming.
From this point alone, Zhang Rang was not telling the truth.
"If my words are even the slightest bit false, I am willing to die by a thousand cuts!”
Zhang Rang knelt on the ground again, his face full of grievance. This face-changing skill was unmatched.
"Go to the Xuan Dynasty!"
Liu Hong was expressionless as he waved his hand and said,""Call Zhang Wen and Dong Zhuo. Zhen wants to hear some things about the road to the west.”
"This subject obeys the decree!"
Zhang Rang bowed and left.
A smile appeared on his face as he walked out of the palace gate. He weighed the gold ingot in his sleeve. General Dong Zhuo, your path has widened.
……
Deyang Palace Hall!
The civil and military officials entered the court in turn.
The low voices of conversation were endless. The Emperor was suddenly in court, and he was still a little unused to it.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Zhang Rang stood on the imperial steps and lightly flicked his horsetail whisk.
"My Emperor, Your Majesty!"
The civil and military officials bowed their heads in unison, and the huge palace felt like a tsunami.
"Everyone, rise!"
Liu Hong sat on the dragon throne and looked down at the officials. The beauty of power arose from the bottom of his heart.
