The First Tyrant of Daxia

Seeing this, Qin Yun shook his head and sighed, what a bad fate!

“To tell you the truth, there is a huge difference.”

"If you stay in the palace or return to the Situ family, your situation will be miserable, and you may even lose your life."

"Eleventh brother, let me take you away so that you can live."

"Not long ago, a fire broke out in the palace. Eleventh Brother announced to the public that you died in the flames."

Hear the words.

Situ Jing's delicate body trembled suddenly!

Her beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Qin Yun: "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

Qin Yun said calmly: "I have said that he will give you freedom to make up for his debt."

Situ Jing asked, "I mean, why can't I stay in the palace and the Situ family to save my life?"

A hint of sadness flashed across Qin Yun's eyes.

"I want to settle accounts with the clans."

"And he and I have a political dispute, and neither of us will compromise."

"Do you understand this?"

Situ Jing's eyes were complicated: "He wants to rebel and seek death?"

Qin Yun shook his head: "I will not allow him to do that."

"He is my biological brother. Even if he makes a mistake, I, as the eldest brother, will bear the responsibility."

"Alas, maybe he just wants to protect his students and friends, and wants to do what he thinks is right."

"As for rebellion, I don't think so."

After hearing this, there was silence in the dragon carriage for a long time.

A tear silently slid down the corner of Situ Jing's beautiful eyes.

By now.

Years of resentment slowly dissipated.

Her heart was filled with only sadness.

Sad about my own experience and the injustice of fate!

When she learned about King Shunxun's state of mind and actions, she no longer hated him.

He bowed deeply and knocked his white forehead on the wooden board: "Your Majesty, I know my crime."

Qin Yun rubbed his temples and waved his hands, saying, "Forget it."

"The conflict between him and me is a dispute over political views and differences in identity and responsibilities. It was not caused by you. My eleventh brother and I are very clear about this."

"He set you free, so you should live well from now on."

"Speaking of which, it's also my fault. A wrong marriage has brought sorrow to three people."

"As compensation, I will ensure your safety for the rest of your life."

Situ Jing's beautiful eyes were complicated and she shook her head with tears in her eyes.

He choked with sobs and said, "No."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

"I just want to find a quiet place, use another name, become a nun, study Buddhist scriptures, and live out the rest of my life."

"I hope Your Majesty can help me and give me a new name so that I can be reborn."

After saying this, she bowed deeply again.

This absolutely gentle and dignified woman is now filled with melancholy and sadness, which makes people sigh!

Qin Yun couldn't bear it, frowned and sighed: "Why?"

"It's not your fault."

"I can give you a name, but you should reconsider the matter of shaving your head and becoming a nun."

"It is at this critical moment that you cannot show up casually. Otherwise, if someone finds out, both I and Prince Shunxun will be caught in a huge public opinion storm."

Situ Jing nodded slightly, very quietly, submissive and docile, which made people feel pity for her.

Qin Yun thought for a moment and said, "I'll name you Si Qing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

She bowed again, her fair forehead touching the ground, her face lacking the color that a beautiful woman should have.

Perhaps, I have really lost hope in life and just want to be locked up quietly in a corner.

Qin Yun could only sigh at this.

The dusk was falling, the sun was setting, and it felt a little heavy.

The convoy was heading towards the palace in an orderly manner.

Still on the way back.

Qin Yun issued several imperial decrees in succession.

The first step is to let the imperial guards take action to seal off the iron workshops that Tang San had reported, and confiscate all the ill-gotten gains and ironware.

The second is to immediately order the Ministry of Justice to arrest Li Mi.

The third is to announce to the world that private salt companies will be cleared out, and all important materials such as private ore and salt will be managed directly by the cabinet without the need for intermediate procedures!

The imperial edict was sent to the court overnight, then written by the cabinet, and personnel were dispatched to formally implement it.

As soon as the news came out, the Central Plains was shocked and the government and the public were in an uproar!

All three imperial edicts were aimed at the aristocratic families, and were extremely powerful!

But once Tang San's story was revealed, coupled with the prestige Qin Yun had built up on the grassland, the people supported it, and the imperial decree became the general trend.

Three days passed.

The land of Longyou, Qingliang Mountain!

Nine different valuable carriages are parked here.

While having strict defense, it also brings wealth!

If you take a closer look at the carriage, you will see that it is either inlaid with gold and jade, or it is made of Ferghana horses. Even the attendants are wearing brocade clothes and jade belts. It is luxurious to the extreme!

Any little bit of what was deducted would be enough for ordinary people to eat for a year.

From this we can see how terrible the gap between the rich and the poor in Daxia has become!

A bright hall with nine chairs is particularly eye-catching.

The old men sitting up there are the most powerful people in the whole Daxia. If they stomp their feet, Daxia will be shaken!

Who could have thought that the nine powerful families would gather here!

"Ugh!!"

"Everyone, stop drinking tea and tell us what we should do now."

The head of the Situ clan, an old man with gray hair, spoke in a low voice with a sharp gleam in his eyes.

There was an old man who frowned and spoke with great force like thunder.

"The emperor won a great victory on the grassland and recaptured Pancheng, an important town in Xiliang. What else can we use to make a fuss?"

"More than half of the iron workshops we jointly run have been closed down. Ha, the little emperor is really ruthless!"

The head of the Tang clan was dissatisfied: "What's wrong with Prince Shunxun? In my opinion, the emperor should be detained in Youzhou!"

"They are all members of the Qin royal family. I think Prince Shunxun may succeed to the throne!"

"You're right!"

"The imperial court has issued another imperial decree, targeting our family in every way."

"It seems that there is no way this can be resolved peacefully."

"..."

The leaders of the nine major clans spoke one after another with stern expressions, and some even openly discussed the throne of the emperor.

It seems that for them.

This world is a piece of cake, and they should be involved. Even the emperor should not go too far!

Sudden.

Shunxun King Qin Ci actually appeared here!

He came to Longyou and Qingliang Mountain in person from Youzhou.

"Nine old men, I advise you to restrain yourself a little!!"

The tone is cold and without warmth.

Qin Ci took off his bamboo hat, walked in with an upright figure and a heroic face, and was fearless in front of the nine powerful old men.

One of the giants narrowed his eyes and said unhappily, "King Shunxun, what do you mean by this?"

"Humph!"

Qin Ci snorted coldly, revealing his sharp edge. He was no longer the calm and considerate person he used to be.

Perhaps, this was caused by Tang San's death.

"What do you mean, how many things are you hiding from me?"

"Transport heavy crossbows to Xiliang, smuggle ironware, etc."

"Ok?"

The cold questioning made the nine clan leaders silent for a moment.

The old man from the Situ clan said after a long while: "Prince Shunxun, don't forget that we are a community of shared interests!"

"You want to reconcile with the emperor, but will he reconcile with you?"

"Tang San is dead, but the emperor still doesn't buy it!"

"I told you long ago that the emperor would not compromise unless he suffered!"

Qin Ci looked at him coldly: "It hasn't come to that yet."

"I came here for only one thing!"

"All nine of you should behave yourself!"

"If you want to stand up and hold power, you need the right time, right place and right people."

"Instead of doing something stupid!"

"Why was Li Mi, the Duke of Shen, that rubbish, arrested? It was because he harbored a grudge and privately sabotaged the imperial court's grain transport vehicles!"

The old man from the Li family was shocked: "What?!"

"This bastard!"

"Dare to act on your own!"

The other eight families were all furious.

"So what are you going to do?" someone asked King Shunxun.

King Shunxun said calmly: "As long as it does not destroy the stability of Daxia, it is fine."

After saying that, he left directly.

As quickly as it came, it went as quickly as it came.

The nine giant helmsmen who were left behind looked at each other in silence, then they whispered to each other with sharp eyes flashing.

"It seems that King Shunxun is still unwilling to take that step."

"We have to force him!"

"..."
