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

Am I being too obvious?

Li Tian reflected on himself.

“The issue of river transport will be left to the cabinet.”

Li Tian's calmness in the face of adversity made little Weizi admire him to the core.

Immediately afterwards, Li Tian received news that food prices in Kyoto had risen sharply.

This also reminded Li Tian of the last time he cracked down on river transport, which ended in failure.

Now Li Tian is even happier!

This matter is also a good excuse to make Tang Xiaoren a scapegoat and kick him out of the cabinet!

That way the Cabinet will be safe!

No one will cause trouble to him and improve the country's fortunes anymore!

Father-in-law, it's time for you to retire!

Tang Xiaoren was dismissed from his post because of this incident, and the queen had nothing to say.

But before Li Tian could be happy for long, he received news that grain prices in Kyoto had returned to normal.

“How did the Cabinet do it?”

Li Tian grabbed Xiao Weizi and asked.

Xiao Weizi looked at Li Tian in confusion. Isn't this His Majesty's deployment?

Your Majesty is testing the intelligence work of the Western Factory!

That must be the case, Your Majesty wants to test us!

Little Weizi immediately said: "Your Majesty, this all started with changing the river into the sea."

"Your Majesty is wise. He asked Lord Zhang Yuchai of the Jiabu Division to supervise the construction of the railway to connect Kyoto and the port."

"Then the grain from Yuhang will be sent to the port by sea."

"The food was then transported to Kyoto via horse-drawn railroad cars."

“Converting rivers into seas has greatly increased transportation capacity.”

“The loss of sea transportation is also much smaller than that of river transportation.”

"Your Majesty's clever trick also deceived the grain merchants in Kyoto."

"They colluded with the river transport to drive up grain prices in Kyoto."

“But they never expected the great transformation of His Majesty to turn the river into the sea!”

"The large amount of food shipped by the cabinet from the port quickly stabilized the food prices in Kyoto."

"Those unscrupulous grain merchants were also arrested by the Ministry of Justice."

Li Tian almost fainted when he heard this.

How did good news suddenly turn into bad news?

What changes the river into the sea?

When did I ever let you turn rivers into seas!

And this guy Zhang Xiuchai actually stabbed me in the back again!

This guy built the railway tracks while I wasn't paying attention!

If Li Tian had not cultivated "The Illustrated Book of Destruction" to the second level and broken through to the Grandmaster level.

He was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage at this moment!

This group of court ministers actually stabbed me in the back again!

Li Tian's good mood disappeared in an instant.

At this moment, a eunuch suddenly reported that there was a mutiny in Huaihe River!

Li Tian's mood now seemed like a roller coaster.

OK!

The Huai River has changed for the better!

As long as the Huaihe River is in chaos, the task of clearing up river transportation will be ruined!

At that time, I will go with the flow and stop turning the river into the sea.

Then the plan to clean up the river transportation would be ruined!

I am so smart!

Li Tian was overjoyed, finally he received good news!

Moreover, the Huaihe River mutiny will definitely bring bad luck to the country!

Wait, why didn’t the system remind me?

Li Tian had another ominous premonition.

Wait, why is this feeling so similar to before?

Li Tian pondered over where this feeling came from.

He pulled Xiao Weizi and asked, "Where is Rand?"

It was the first time that Little Weizi saw His Majesty lose his composure like this, so he quickly said, "Lord Land, the Grand Transport Commander, has already gone south to quell the rebellion!"

Li Tian seemed to have suffered a critical hit!

My intuition turned out to be correct!

My brother-in-law stabbed me in the back again!

Li Tian immediately said to Xiao Weizi: "Let him come back!"

"Convey my order! Let Rand return to Binhai to protect me!"

"Leave the rebellion to General Yuhang. Why would he, as the General of the Canal Transport, want to join in the fun?"

"Nonsense, come back quickly!"

So this is why His Majesty is angry.

Yes, your majesty's safety is much more important than a small river transport mutiny.

Xiao Weizi immediately said, "As you command, Your Majesty!"

However, before the eunuch who was ordered to convey the imperial edict could catch up with Rand's troops, Huaihe City had already been breached.

The river transport governor Pan Dazhuang and the leaders who participated in the mutiny were all arrested.

And all the cases of corruption and bribery in the river transport department over the years have been investigated.

The evidence was conclusive and Pan Dazhuang committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment.

The entire Huaihe River finally returned to calm.

By the time the eunuch delivering the imperial edict arrived in Huaihe City, Rand had already planned to lead his troops back to Binhai.

The river transport rebellion was quelled!

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

When Xiao Weizi announced the good news loudly, Li Tian's temples throbbed.

Finished!

This is the same feeling as the last time I was backstabbed by Rand!

No!

I just want to be a tyrant, is that so difficult?

Li Tian felt like crying but had no tears.

Little Weizi shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, General Lan has put down the Huaihe Rebellion!"

What, settled?

Li Tian wanted to rush over and kill his brother-in-law himself!

Rand, you backstabbed me again!

Do not!

Not just Rand!

This time, all the ministers in the court have conspired to stab me in the back!

Tang Xiaoren, Zhang Chunchai, and Rand were originally on Li Tian’s blacklist.

I was so careful, yet they still stabbed me in the back!

Why can't these guys let me be a happy tyrant?

Especially Rand!

Are you the reincarnation of the God of War?

Didn’t he say a few days ago that he only had two thousand personal soldiers? Isn’t Huaihe City very strong?

How could it be conquered so easily?

Could it be a false report of the victory results?

It is possible!

Huaihe City is a well-known strong city.

The founding emperor besieged Huaihe City for three months before he captured it.

It only took a few days to capture Rand?

It must be a false report of the victory results!

Li Tian ignited the last glimmer of hope!

Brother-in-law, you must give your support!

It’s okay to lie about the results of a battle!

I will definitely not pursue the matter and will reward you handsomely!

So Li Tian said to Xiao Weizi: "Check! How could Rand pacify Huaihe so quickly!"

After Li Tian's reminder, Xiao Weizi also felt that things seemed to be going a little too smoothly.

Your Majesty is really thoughtful!

Your Majesty remains so calm in the face of such great news!

He is worthy of being the greatest emperor of all time!

Your Majesty is indeed not an ordinary person!

Xiao Weizi became more and more respectful. He quickly sent out soldiers from the Western Factory to inquire about the news of the river transport battle.

When the news came, Xiao Weizi rubbed his eyes.

I thought this battle was Rand's credit.

I didn’t expect it was His Majesty’s work!

Xiao Weizi once again had a profound understanding of the emperor's far-reaching layout.

With all the evidence, Xiao Weizi asked for a meeting again.

"Come in, did Rand really pacify the Huai River?"

Li Tian asked with his last hope.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Thanks to your majesty's planning, General Rand was able to pacify the Huai River so easily!"

What does it have to do with me?

I didn't let that guy Rand pacify the Huai River!

That guy acted on his own. Is it my fault?

Li Tian couldn't help but feel angry.

Seeing that Li Tian looked unhappy, Xiao Weizi said hurriedly:

"General Rand's battle report is true. The imperial army has now taken control of Huaihe City."

"The former river transport governor Pan Dazhuang committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment, and all officials involved have pleaded guilty."

"It took General Rand less than a day to capture Huaihe City!"
