I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

Entering the city through Donghua Gate, the people of the entire capital heard the news.

Great victory in Luzhou?

When will there be another great victory in Luzhou?

The people of the capital are the most powerful people in the world.

It can be said that he knows astronomy, geography, and the secrets of the court!

The people in Beijing all know what the situation is in Luzhou.

Great victory in Luzhou?

Which guy is so ignorant of the consequences that he dares to lie about his military achievements?

If the imperial court investigates this, all nine generations of your clan will be exterminated!

The messenger who brought the victory message shouted all the way until his throat was almost smoking.

But he still held high the documents in his hand and ran all the way to the Ministry of War.

He is not the superior of the state commanders.

The Minister of War was handling official business at the time when he suddenly heard a report from his subordinates.

Great victory in Luzhou?

The Minister of War frowned.

Didn’t the Lone Wolf Tribe request to surrender?

How come we suddenly won a great victory?

The Minister of War quickly asked his men to let the messenger in.

The messenger immediately knelt down and said to the Minister of War:

"Sir Shangshu, great victory in Luzhou!"

"This is a document written by the envoy himself!"

Upon hearing that the document was written by Jia Renyi himself, the Minister of War quickly stood up from his seat.

Jia Renyi was given the title of Grand Secretary and was in charge of all affairs in Luzhou.

As long as this task is completed successfully, the envoy will return to the capital and enter the cabinet and become a cabinet minister!

Although Tang Xiaoren's position as the chief minister was unshakable, he was the second chief minister of the cabinet, one level higher than the six ministers.

Moreover, the Minister of War has the least power among the six ministries.

The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for examining and promoting officials and is in charge of everyone’s official hats, so of course it comes first.

The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of money and grain, and is the God of Wealth, so of course it comes second.

The third one is the Ministry of Rites, which is responsible for the imperial examinations and sacrificial ceremonies.

Or is it the Ministry of Works that is responsible for engineering construction throughout the country? This point remains to be debated.

The Ministry of Justice is the second to last, there is no doubt about that.

Then the most unlucky one was the Ministry of War.

All the six ministers were civil officials.

Although the Great Zhou had a tradition of civil officials in charge of the military, these officials were usually appointed as inspectors or frontline envoys like Jia Renyi.

The ones who truly command the troops are the military generals.

The position of Minister of War is so embarrassing.

He is responsible for logistics and armaments, but is unable to manage the generals who command the troops.

He was also often caught in the middle between civil officials and military generals.

The Ministry of War is the last of the six ministries, and this has been undisputed since the founding of the Great Zhou.

The Minister of War carefully read Jia Renyi's victory report.

Jia Renyi recorded in detail the time since Fan Jian's mission to the Lone Wolf Tribe, when he exposed the Lone Wolf Tribe's conspiracy to falsely surrender.

Then he fled Lone Wolf City overnight and found Rand who had left the Luzhou Mountains.

He reported in detail how Rand divided his troops, how he launched surprise attacks, and how he achieved great victory.

The Minister of War was shocked after reading it!

Of course he understood that the envoy was also the prime minister.

No prime minister dared to lie about the results.

Moreover, all these battle records and prisoners are written down in black and white, and the imperial court will check them all.

No matter what Jia Renyi does, he will never falsify these results!

Jia Renyi was a civil official, so he was not entitled to these military achievements.

Moreover, he has already been a prime minister. The one before him was Tang Xiaoren, and there is no one who can advance further.

Jia Renyi had no reason to lie.

Since it is not a lie, it must be true!

What a great victory!

Moreover, it is an unprecedented record since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

The minister pulled up the messenger and asked, "Can you still ride a horse?"

The messenger rode on horseback all the way from Luzhou to the capital, and his legs were worn out.

But he still nodded heavily: "Yes!"

The Minister of War patted his shoulder and said, "Good boy! Come, help him change into the auspicious clothes, and let the Minister of War accompany him to the palace through Zhengyang Gate to report the victory!"

Zhengyangmen is the main gate of the imperial palace!

Behind the door is the cabinet's office.

Further back is the imperial study where palace meetings are held.

Entering the palace from Zhengyang Gate to report the victory would be the biggest scene!

The messenger immediately perked up, saluted to the Minister of War and said, "I will mount my horse right away!"

"Go!"

The messenger was wearing red auspicious clothes and riding the best horse of the Ministry of War.

They shouted "Great Victory in Luzhou" all the way and ran towards the palace.

The messenger's voice echoed in the palace.

From the six ministries to the Censorate, and then to the Hanlin Academy, even the clerks in the cabinet heard it.

Fang Ze, the head of the Zhongshufang, immediately rushed to the cabinet warm room.

"Sir! The victory report from Luzhou has arrived!"

Tang Xiaoren didn't seem surprised.

"The victory in Luzhou was planned by Your Majesty a long time ago. There is nothing to be surprised about."

The victory in Luzhou was actually something Your Majesty had been planning for a long time?

Is there such a secret?

Tang Ze was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

A clerk hurriedly handed the document from the Ministry of War to Tang Xiaoren.

This is a separate copy of the document sent by the Ministry of War.

After seeing the victory report, Tang Xiaoren also lost his composure.

He expected a victory in Luzhou, but he didn't expect it to be so successful!

Directly wiped out one of the eight tribes of Northern Mang!

In other words, there is no more threat to the Luzhou border!

The imperial court can build a city on the border of Luzhou!

In that case, the offensive and defensive situations between Da Zhou and Bei Mang will be reversed!

If the hinterland of Beimang can be attacked from the border of Luzhou, the pressure on Dongliao will be greatly reduced.

The Great Zhou could also influence the small tribes in the northern grasslands, thereby containing the Northern Mang.

This was something that every emperor had dreamed of! He actually accomplished it during his tenure!

Tang Xiaoren immediately suppressed his excitement.

This battle was planned by Li Tian himself, and it is the credit of His Majesty!

All of this is due to the wisdom of His Majesty!

Li Tian, who was drinking tea in Concubine Lan's Palace, vaguely heard the shouting.

How dare someone shout in the palace?

Little Weizi stumbled in.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Wait, why does this scene seem familiar?

Wait, this was the same atmosphere when my father-in-law stabbed me in the back!

isn't it?

Li Tian had an ominous premonition.

Li Tian quickly asked, "What are you congratulating me for?"

Little Weizi immediately said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the great victory in Luzhou!"

Hearing the words "Luzhou great victory", Concubine Lan was also stunned.

Luzhou, isn’t that where my brother is working?

Great victory in Luzhou?

Concubine Lan couldn't help but ask, "How is General Lan, the commander of Luzhou?"

Little Weizi immediately said, "Congratulations, Madam! General Lan has killed 8,000 enemies and made a great contribution to the world!"

Kill eight thousand enemies?

How can it be?

My brother-in-law, don't you think that killing the elderly, the weak, women and children is a way of gaining military merit?

It's impossible. With such a big scene, he wouldn't dare to impersonate him even if he had a hundred guts!

How did Luzhou win a great victory?

Didn’t the Lone Wolf Tribe request to surrender? How come they suddenly won a great victory?

Li Tianyi had a question mark in his head.

Finally, the messenger reporting the victory entered the palace.

When the victory report was placed on Li Tian's desk, Li Tian finally understood the whole story.

The system prompts:

[Great victory in Luzhou, Great Zhou’s national fortune: +10000 points! ]

[Tip: National fortune this month +5000 points! ]

[Tip: If the national fortune continues to rise, the Destruction Atlas will not be able to be upgraded this month! ]

Brother-in-law, you, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dare to stab me in the back!
