Liu Hong, who had no idea that he was carrying a huge pot on his back, placed all his attention on the Heaven Dao Stone Stele.
As the names of the top ten on the Rich List were announced one by one.
Liu Hong became more and more nervous. He gripped the railing tightly, and the strength in his hand increased, causing the railing of the front hall made of hundred-year-old heavy wood to creak.
He saw Liu Yu, the Prince of Guangyang, and his two sons ascend to the sixth place.
A hint of surprise flashed in the depths of Liu Yu's eyes.
Recently, this nameless Prince Yu had frequently appeared in his ears.
With the number of generals under his command and his unparalleled martial strength, he was famous in the world.
He suppressed many dukes and became one of the most powerful dukes in Great Han.
Today, he had even destroyed a country to open the Heavenly Dao Wealth Rankings.
The three thousand profound armors swept across the two provinces, causing the officials to panic.
He was also extremely afraid of it in the depths of his heart.
Whether it was the court officials or the local dukes.
Liu Hong thought that he had done a good job of balancing the forces.
Neither side could dominate and break the balance.
Even He Jin, who had power in the court, had no choice but to live by his eyes.
The only exception was Prince Yu.
If not for the Heavenly Dao Rankings being exposed, Liu Yu, whose martial strength was enough to crush Si Li, would have hidden for who knows how long.
Liu Hong, who had never considered him as the Chief, naturally felt fear towards his two sons.
Since the beginning of history.
The inheritance of the throne was not lacking in swords and sabers.
As for the courtiers thinking that King Guangyang was his backup plan to revive the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong was also happy to see it.
On the one hand, the ministers feared him, so they could better plunder the power in the hands of the nobles.
On the other hand, King Guangyang was in Youzhou, thousands of miles away from the royal court. He could balance with his ministers and maintain the situation that was beneficial to him.
Moreover…
Liu Hong touched the inscription on his sword.
It was the word Zhongxing written in small seal script.
This sword, along with the other three Zhongxing Swords.
It was forged in the third year of Jianning.
At that time, he had ascended the throne at a young age and swept away the dissidents in the court in one fell swoop.
It was also the same size as Lord Guangyang.
When he was young, Liu Hong also wanted to be a wise ruler or a holy lord.
The Han Dynasty was revived, and its achievements surpassed Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, becoming another Guangwu.
However, as he grew older, Liu Hong also understood that the burly man had long been deeply blinded and riddled with holes.
Although Emperor Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty and rebuilt the world, he left behind the despotic gentry.
A hundred-plus years, the burly man in his hands.
The despotic controlled the local area, and the aristocratic families were in charge of the court.
Liu Hong, who had failed time and time again to gain power, had lost the ambition of his youth. He had completely given up. All kinds of stupid tricks in the eyes of the aristocratic families were used to suppress the aristocratic families and support the eunuchs.
Now that Lord Guangyang had the demeanor of his great ancestor Guangwu, he was happy that the Han Dynasty had produced a young hero. In the future, he could revive the Han Dynasty and fulfill his unfulfilled dream.
"Yu 'er is ranked sixth. Since he came out of Luoyang, he can be said to have amazed the world with a single brilliant feat. In these few years, the fief has also flourished day by day.”
"Zhang Rang."
Zhang Rang bowed and stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Liu Hong took off his sword and threw it to Zhang Rang.
"King Guangyang has made great contributions in destroying the Wuhuan. This Zhongxing Sword is given to Prince Yu as a reward.”
Zhang Rang's eyes narrowed slightly. Holding the Zhongxing Sword, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"I accept your decree."
Upon hearing Liu Hong's words, the Luoyang officials were all shocked.
Ever since the Heavenly Dao Rankings were released, King Guangyang's name had spread all over the world.
This was the first time Tian Zi had said the name of King Guangyang in public.
This action was a reward.
The meaning it represented was extraordinary.
The word 'Zhongxing' had a deep meaning.
The four Zhongxing Swords, which were forged in the third year of Jianning and often hung in the court by the young Liu Hong, were still fresh in the minds of many old officials.
By bestowing the Zhongxing Sword to King Guangyang, was he really entrusting the task of reviving the Han Dynasty to Prince Yu?!
Was Lord Guangyang really the emperor's backup plan?
Or was this Tian Zi's usual balancing tactic?
For a moment, everyone was shocked and suspicious.
After the Roman Emperor and the Han Emperor entered the rankings, their doubts quickly shifted to the rankings.
Not only the officials of Luoyang, but even the aristocratic families of the Great Han Dynasty who were paying attention to the Wealth Rankings were instantly in an uproar.
"The Roman Emperor is only ranked fifth, and the Son of Heaven is only ranked fourth. As the ruler of a country that is thousands of miles away and the leader of one of the best empires, who in the world is richer than them?!”
"Impossible. If someone really had more wealth than the emperor, they would have given themselves away early on and let other powerful people spy on them.”
"If there were really a merchant who was as rich as a country, he would have been forced to spit it out by the Ten Generals a few years ago.”
"The rewards for this ranking are too generous. The power of gods and the fate of fire virtue. With these rewards, the Roman emperor and the Son of Heaven have already reached the realm of cultivation. Even King Guangyang, who is the strongest in the world, might not be their match.”
"In the past, Emperor Guangwu rose from Nanyang and inherited the fate of fire. He was able to destroy Wang Mang in Kunyang and rebuild the Great Han.”
"The fourth and fifth place are already so generous. I want to know what the rewards for the top three are.”
When Liu Hong saw his name appear in the top three, a hint of anger appeared on his face.
He really didn't expect that he had spent ten years and almost snatched from the powerful families, but he still couldn't enter the top three.
No matter how good the fate of fire was, it would benefit the Han Dynasty more than Liu Hong.
What he wanted more was the divine stone fragment that could be used to refine the elixir of immortality.
A ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in Liu Hong's mind.
Could he order King Guangyang to hand over his top prize?
Sensing the Emperor's anger, the officials immediately fell silent and did not dare to provoke him.
The Heaven's Path Stele seemed to have noticed the awkward situation the officials were in and immediately updated the third and second.
It attracted Liu Hong's attention.
