The First Tyrant of Daxia

Time flies, and more than two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Only three days left until New Year’s Eve!

Some provincial governors have already started their journey back to the imperial capital to report on their work.

There had never been such a night banquet in the past, but this time it was unusual. Everyone who was interested knew that the protagonist was the "Xiliang side."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Dou Ji has fallen ill. I asked the imperial physician, and he said that she is exhausted and has lost a lot of weight."

Qin Yun frowned.

He has been busy dealing with finances and the recruitment of the Hero Pavilion for more than two months and has not seen her for a long time.

After thinking about it, he decided to go to Qianfu Palace.

Pushing open the vermilion palace gate, the place was covered in snow, and it was much quieter than usual.

Concubine Dou Ji was wearing a plain palace dress and chanting sutras to pray. Her beautiful face was very pale. The most sigh-worthy thing was that her black hair was actually covered with white hair!

Qin Yun felt compassion.

He said softly, "Toffee, why torture yourself?"

Dou Ji turned around abruptly, but gradually calmed down, and a bitter smile appeared on her red lips: "Your Majesty is finally willing to come and see me."

"My coming to see you doesn't mean I will compromise on anything, and you can't make me compromise." Qin Yun said.

"Of course." Dou Ji seemed extremely calm, not crying or making a fuss. She gently slid her jade fingers through her hair and said sadly, "Your Majesty is so cruel, how could he care about a woman like me?"

"The New Year's Eve banquet is coming soon. Can I see Lao Jiu for the last time?"

A hint of pleading appeared in her mature and experienced eyes again.

"You want to die?" Qin Yun frowned.

Dou Ji shook her head and said, "Your Majesty won't allow me to die, how dare I? I have been in the palace for many years, and I naturally know that Lao Jiu will not survive this harsh winter. I am afraid that after the New Year's Eve banquet, his body will be torn apart."

"Your Majesty, don't you even allow this small request?"

Qin Yun shook his head.

"You've done so much for Lao Jiu, but Lao Jiu may not appreciate it."

"He has been restless during his time in the Three Provinces Pavilion!"

The last four words were very telling.

Dou Ji shuddered, her body trembled, and a tear quietly slid down her cheek.

My mistake was that I shouldn't have supported him in taking this path!

Qin Yun looked down at him and continued, "Just the day before yesterday, Old Five and Old Eight also started to get involved in Old Nine's conspiracy. They thought they were flawless, but I already knew the whole situation."

Upon hearing this, Dou Ji was completely panicked.

The charming face turned pale, and she knelt down and hugged Qin Yun's legs: "Your Majesty, what do you mean? The fifth and eighth are innocent!"

"They have no great talents and pose no threat to you. Do you have to bite and kill them all?"

Qin Yun snorted: "Of course it's Lao Jiu's fault. If he doesn't have a good life, then it will make life difficult for others too!"

"You are deceiving the people and trying to overthrow me!"

"Although Lao Wu and Lao Ba are not the masterminds, these two idiots actually dared to participate!"

boom!

Dou Ji’s whole body was cold, and she collapsed to the ground, with a hint of despair in her beautiful eyes.

Any man would feel distressed to see her like this.

Qin Yun frowned and said, "You still have two days, think about it carefully. The New Year's Eve banquet will not be peaceful, and Lao Jiu will make one last effort."

"If you are willing to tell me in advance about his former power and hidden army, then I will promise you that the fifth and eighth brothers can be idle princes."

"As for you, I can also let bygones be bygones."

A trace of struggle emerged in the depths of Dou Ji's beautiful eyes. No matter what choice she made, it would be cutting into her heart!

A trace of sadness appeared on her beautiful face.

At this moment, she truly understood that even if she tried her best to please him, she could not save Lao Jiu's life.

She looked at Qin Yun with a complicated look in her eyes: "You are becoming more and more like an emperor, unfathomable, with an iron fist, and no conspiracy can defeat you."

Qin Yun smiled lightly: "I was forced to do this. I should thank Lao Jiu for this."

Dou Ji's face turned pale, her jade fingers clenched, and she looked up and asked, "If I tell you, will you really let Old Five and Old Eight go? And treat them well for the rest of your life?"

Qin Yun nodded: "My words are as good as gold. They have done nothing wrong, so you can spare their lives."

"..."

At that time, the three ministries and cabinets were also making intensive preparations.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, mysterious eunuchs in disguise would come in and out.

Qin Yuan looked much more haggard than he did two months ago, with stubble all over his face and his eyes having lost their former color.

"Your Highness, the troops and money in Xingyang have been instigated by Wang Min and will no longer obey your command."

A eunuch knelt on the ground and said with a grim expression.

This is the fourth bad news in a few consecutive days.

These forces were greatly taken advantage of by Wang Min outside the palace.

Qin Yuan smiled sarcastically, "One wrong step, all wrong. I shouldn't have allowed Wang Min to be a scourge in the first place. In the end, I ended up shooting myself in the foot."

"But it doesn't matter. New Year's Eve banquet, the last battle!"

"Okay, then everyone must die, Sima Tu, Wang Min, no one can escape!"

"If we lose, we will die, and we won't be able to take the money and food with us!"

After he finished speaking, a hint of fanaticism appeared in his eyes, almost like a madman!

He lost his former rationality, mobilized all available resources, planned a mutiny, and even used his own brothers to participate.

Little did he know that the methods he was proud of were all under Qin Yun's surveillance.

"Your Highness, there are still other opportunities. If you can fight your way out of the imperial capital, wouldn't that be the best strategy?" the eunuch suggested.

Qin Yuan, however, gave him a fierce look and roared, "You little slave, do you also think that I am not as good as that useless emperor?!"

"How is he better than me? Why can't I defeat him?"

"I am the son of destiny, why should I run away? Why should I leave the imperial capital and become a stray dog?"

The eunuch was terrified, his face pale, and he trembled as he said, "Your Highness, if you keep the green mountains, you will not be afraid of firewood. Wang Min went to Xiliang and took advantage of the situation to take revenge on Your Highness."

"Why don't we use it as well?"

"The imperial capital still has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, enough to break through!"

"Get lost!" Qin Yuan was extremely conceited, crazy conceited, and roared, "I want to fight the dog emperor to the death!"

"Even if I die, those bitches who betrayed me will have to pay the price!"

The eunuch shut up and dared not say another word.

His Highness has changed a lot in the past two months. He no longer has the wisdom he used to have, but has become stubborn and self-willed.

In fact, it was the general trend and Qin Yuan was forced to do so.

He was not only facing Qin Yun, but also Wang Min's revenge. He was in prison and could not resist at all. To this day, he had no better solution.

Qin Yun's original attempt to alienate the people was quite successful.

After a long time.

Qin Yun left Qianfu Palace and secretly summoned Gu Chuntang, Xiao Jian and other trusted ministers to discuss matters.

In the imperial study, it was extremely dark.

The topic of the conversation was top secret and they didn't disperse until late at night.

"Your Majesty, Miss Murong is back!"

Qin Yun's eyes lit up!

"Over there?"

"Bring it in to me now!"

"I haven't seen her for such a long time, I really miss her. She came back on her own initiative, I'm afraid the Jinyiwei has been reborn!"

Old Feng bowed and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please move a little, you will be surprised!"

"Oh?" Qin Yun smiled and walked out of the imperial study excitedly, full of anticipation.

Is it finally time for acceptance?
