The First Tyrant of Daxia

The last day of the Gengzi year of Daxia, New Year’s Eve.

The red lanterns hung in the streets and alleys contrast with the ten miles of silvery snow scene, looking extremely dazzling and festive.

Children from every household took to the streets, making the scene very lively.

Qin Yun announced to the world early that morning that all taxes would be exempted by half in the new year, and some areas affected by natural disasters would be exempted completely!

Just for recuperation, the people can live.

In addition, some political proposals of Gu Chuntang and others were also passed and conveyed.

One is to increase the people's food supply, and the other is to increase the court's finances. Both are win-win strategies.

According to the plan, initial results will be seen in about half a year.

Tai Chi Hall.

All officials come to pay their respects!

There were more than twenty frontier ministers, who also came with gifts to report on their work.

"We wish your Majesty a long life!"

"The great fortune of the Great Xia nation will last for thousands of years!"

“The new year begins, and the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous!”

Qin Yun sat on the golden and majestic dragon throne, overlooking the most powerful people in the world.

A glance at them, and no one dares to disobey!

He saw Sima Tu for the first time.

This man is also a character. He is tall and strong, wearing armor, with weather-beaten eyes and extraordinary scheming.

But he was rebellious, and Qin Yun was unhappy with him at first sight.

"Everyone, get up."

"My dear ministers, why don't you see General Sima? Is it because my orders are ineffective and he didn't come to report on his work?" Qin Yun snorted deliberately.

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. Is this the beginning of the settlement?

Sima Tu was dusty and looked like he had just arrived in the imperial capital. He stepped out, forced a smile, and said, "Your Majesty, I am here."

"How dare I disobey the order of the emperor?"

Qin Yun glanced at him and pretended to be surprised: "Hey, the Grand Commander really arrived."

"I thought you no longer cared about me. It is such an honor to have you come to our New Year's Eve banquet!"

The sound came down lightly, but it was as powerful as thunder, and the start was a royal bomb.

All the ministers who commanded heavy troops felt their skin tingling and sweat breaking out on their heads!

hiss……!

Your Majesty, what you said is truly heartbreaking!

What does it mean to have a great visit? What does it mean to bring honor to my humble home? This flattering person probably doesn't want to live anymore!

boom!

Sima Tu knelt down with a thud, his face trembling with anxiety, and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, I dare not!"

"You are the Son of Heaven. I always obey your orders as if they were God!"

"Since I received the order, I have immediately arranged for the handover of military affairs and prepared to go to the imperial capital to report on my work. I have not delayed at all. Your Majesty, please do not believe other people's nonsense!"

Qin Yun stood up, his dragon robe billowing, and looked down and said, "Then tell me, whose words are false?"

"Is it General Xiao Jian, Prime Minister Gu, or one of them here?"

Sima Tu's face was still terrified. He raised his head and blurted out, "Your Majesty, it's the Ninth Prince Qin Yuan!"

The Taiji Hall once again fell into deathly silence. Just say whatever is so sensitive.

Qin Yun raised the corner of his mouth and asked with interest: "What do you mean? What does it have to do with Lao Jiu?"

Sima Tu's eyes flashed and he spoke.

"Your Majesty, I originally intended to marry my daughter to the Ninth Prince, but unfortunately, news of the Ninth Prince's rebellion spread in the imperial capital. I was terrified and no longer dared to mention the matter."

"In fact, the Ninth Prince once secretly sent someone to find me, asking me to speak for him, and even to raise an army to threaten your majesty!"

"Your Majesty is now dissatisfied with me, and I feel wronged. There must be a misunderstanding. The only one who can slander me is the Ninth Prince!"

"I am loyal to the emperor. If I don't help him, he will bear a grudge and smear me!"

The ministers changed color.

Wei Zheng was dissatisfied: "Humph, this Ninth Prince actually dared to contact the governor during his confinement, what does this mean?!"

"That's right, he has no rules at all. No wonder he could do something like hiding the dragon robe!"

"Your Majesty, this must be dealt with seriously!"

Everyone was talking about it and was filled with indignation.

Qin Yun was very calm. Even if what Sima Tu said was true, it could not change the truth of his two faces.

This person is useless!

He waved his hand, and the Tai Chi Hall fell silent.

"Sima, my dear, there is no need to panic. I am just asking casually. Since you have no second thoughts, I will naturally believe you."

"Today is New Year's Eve, a good day. Please tell me something nice."

Qi Keng, King of Zhenbei, was the first to step forward and begin reporting on his work.

Sima Tu still knelt there, not daring to get up.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Majesty is criticizing and punishing us.

A hint of suspicion and caution flashed across his experienced eyes. Why, even though he said this, the Emperor didn't get angry and didn't punish Old Nine?

Is it really just because today is New Year’s Eve?

He doesn't believe it!

……

According to the procedure, after reporting to the morning court, all ministers must stay in the palace and wait to be summoned.

Qin Yun asked Eunuch Xi to lead many ministers to visit the imperial garden on his behalf.

He sat in the imperial study and made many decisions.

Although everything is under control tonight, after all, this is such a big matter and even the slightest mistake will lead to serious consequences.

"Your Majesty, the Royal Guards have reported that everything is normal with Sima Tu, and the hundreds of people accompanying him are doing their job and there is no unusual movement."

"Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince and the Eighth Prince have already begun mobilizing the ruffians they have recruited."

"Report, unknown people frequently enter and leave the Three Provinces."

Qin Yun listened to the report from below and said calmly: "Very good, wait until they take action before closing the net."

"Yes!"

At this time, Elder Feng came in and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, the Concubine Dowager wants to see you, otherwise she will not attend today's New Year's Eve banquet."

Qin Yun frowned. This woman really didn't know what was good for her!

"Let's go."

He stood up, thought about it and decided to go.

Today's occasion is very grand! If Dou Ji doesn't show up, or if she causes any trouble, the ministers will complain.

Qianfu Palace.

Qin Yun stepped in, and all the palace maids and eunuchs stepped back.

A beautiful figure came over, it was Dou Ji.

Her face was still a little pale, and she begged, "Your Majesty, please let me see Lao Jiu again!"

"I have told you everything I know. I am no longer a threat to you. What are you afraid of?"

Qin Yun was a little angry.

He grabbed her with one hand and shouted, "Why should I be afraid?!"

"I don't let you see Lao Jiu because he is a madman now. Do you know that he has arranged an assassin to kill you tonight?"

As the voice fell, the air suddenly froze.

Dou Ji's still charming face froze, and she shook her head suddenly: "No, it's impossible!"

"This kid won't do that. I've been helping him all along, and I've even given him more than the fifth and eighth brothers. He won't do that!"

Qin Yun said seriously, "No? My Jinyiwei found something wrong last night."

"He secretly mobilized the forces of Jianghu to assassinate you!"

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see at the banquet tonight."

boom!

Dou Ji slumped on the ground, tears streaming down her face. Her frail body looked even more helpless.

He actually burst into tears and held his head.
