If Xiao Wuji was that youth, he would have done the same thing, and he would have done it more ruthlessly.
If anyone dared to harm Xiao Wuji's family, not only would Xiao Wuji kill the culprit, but he would also exterminate his entire family!
Moreover, that youth had killed Jia Renyi and diverted the Jia family's attention, which was also beneficial to Xiao Wuji.
This time, it wasn't that Xiao Wuji wanted to kill Jia Renyi, but that he was fated to not be able to escape this death tribulation.
"Alright, this has nothing to do with us. It's time to carry out the mission.”
Xiao Wuji looked at Xue Hua and Song Limin and said,""Go gather people and go out of the city to receive the diplomatic mission of the Eternal Sea Kingdom.”
The youth killing Jia Renyi was just an interlude. Xiao Wuji had forgotten about it after hearing about it.
"Yes, this subordinate will obey!"
Xue Hua and Song Limin cupped their fists in response and immediately went down to gather the troops.
By the time Xiao Wuji walked out of the gate, Xue Hua and Song Limin were already waiting at the door with their men.
"Let's go."
Xiao Wuji got on his horse and rode out of Jinling City.
The people behind him followed closely, and no one fell behind.
Xue Hua sat on the horse's back and suddenly smiled.""I heard that the Eternal Sea Kingdom is going to marry a princess over this time. Isn't the princess very beautiful?”
Song Limin nodded in agreement." Of course. How can a princess of a country be ugly?"”
"If she was ugly, why would she be chosen for the marriage?”
"His Majesty's requirements are very high. His Majesty won't even look at a woman with average looks.”
At this point, Song Limin and Xue Hua both revealed envious expressions.
It was good to be an emperor. He was destined to have no lack of women.
Some small countries were even fighting to send their princesses over for marriage.
A peerless beauty that was one in a thousand could only be considered ordinary in the eyes of the Emperor.
Xiao Wuji had heard that the palace maids who refined pills for the Emperor were all rare beauties.
If it was outside, the people who came to plead for mercy would break the threshold.
And at the old emperor's place, these palace maids were usually only helping the emperor refine pills. It was not their turn to serve him in bed.
Xiao Wuji also felt that the Emperor was too wasteful. If he didn't want those women, he could let them out of the palace.
It was true that a full man did not know how hungry a hungry man was.
Didn't he know that there were still many men outside the palace who couldn't find a wife?
However, Xiao Wuji did not know what to say about the Emperor's obsession with alchemy.
The current Emperor Jingtai of the Great Zhou Dynasty was really a weirdo.
It had been twenty-two years since he ascended the throne.
In the first ten years, Emperor Jingtai was diligent in government affairs and made great efforts to govern the country, managing the world in an orderly manner.
Not only did the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, but the combat strength of the army was also at the forefront of the countries in the world. The national strength could not be said to be weak.
As a result, the Great Zhou Dynasty flourished for a while. Emperor Jingtai's prestige was comparable to Emperor Taizu and Emperor Xuan, and he was regarded as a wise ruler by the people of the world.
However, in the next twelve years, Emperor Jingtai seemed to have changed into a different person.
On a certain day twelve years ago, Emperor Jingtai's temperament suddenly changed. He began to indulge in alchemy and pursue longevity.
From then on, he neglected government affairs and ignored court affairs. He did not go to court for a full twelve years, resulting in party disputes in the court and the decline of government affairs.
Li Wenbo, the chief assistant, obtained the favor of Emperor Jingtai by flattering him and used his power to collude with one.| A large number of civil and military officials gathered together in the Imperial Court, forming the largest party.
He had formed a party and attacked those who were different, filling his own pockets. For his own interests, he had framed countless officials.
Fortunately, the Qingliu faction and the Shoufu faction were at loggerheads, barely maintaining the balance in the court.
However, in these twelve years, the Great Zhou Dynasty's national strength had declined by quite a bit.
It was not that there were no emperors in history who pursued immortality. Emperor Jingtai was not the first.
But this was where he was weird.
If an ordinary emperor did not go to court for twelve years, the court would definitely be controlled by the powerful officials. The military power in their hands would also be taken over, and the emperor would definitely become a puppet.
However, Emperor Jingtai was different.
Although he had not attended court for twelve years, the military power was still firmly in his hands.
Although he had not left the palace for twelve years, nothing in the world could hide from his eyes.
Let's talk about the chief assistant, Li Wenbo.
On the surface, the prime minister seemed to have great power, and he was below one person and above ten thousand people.
Who knew how many loyal officials and good generals were killed by the same party?
The people called Li Wenbo a treacherous official who would bring disaster to the country and the people. They also said that Li Wenbo would definitely raise an army to rebel in the future.
The ministers of the court had also accused Li Wenbo of being disloyal countless times.
However, Emperor Jingtai ignored all of this.
Did he not know?
No, he knew.
But he didn't care.
Because as long as he wanted to, he could exterminate Li Wenbo's entire family with just one word!
This was Emperor Jingtai, an emperor who knew the mind of an emperor and played the methods of an emperor to the extreme.
In his eyes, regardless of whether they were loyal or treacherous, they were all chess pieces in his hands.
A loyal minister had to stay because he could help him govern the country.
Even treacherous officials had to stay, because they could work for him and bear the infamy for him.
From a certain point of view, the emperor could be considered unprecedented!
.........
Xiao Wuji led his troops to the outskirts of Jin Ling City. They had only taken a few steps when they heard the neighing of horses.
They saw a horse galloping over, kicking up a cloud of dust. There was a soldier sitting on the horse's back.
Seeing the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the soldiers immediately rode their horses over.
"Dare I ask if you are Centurion Xiao of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, who is in charge of receiving the Hanhai Kingdom's diplomatic mission?”
The soldier asked with cupped fists.
"It's me." Xiao Wuji replied.
The soldier showed the Imperial Army's token arrow and said urgently,""I am General Cao Peng's personal guard, Li Jun.”
"The Hanhai Kingdom's diplomatic mission was ambushed at the guest sending pavilion outside the city. There are thieves robbing the princess of the Hanhai Kingdom.”
