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

[The national affairs system is starting! 】

[How to deal with rebellious canal workers? ]

[Option 30: Execute them all! Reputation -5000, Great Zhou National Fortune - points! Unlock title - Tyrant!]

[Warm Tips: Option 1 will have a chain reaction. Due to the execution of a large number of people, the economy of the Huaihe River region will increase rapidly, and the national fortune will increase every month for a year! ]

[Option 10: Pick one person out of a hundred and execute him! Reputation +2000, Great Zhou's national fortune - points!]

[Option 3: Release all and exile them to the frontier! Reputation remains unchanged, national destiny remains unchanged! Unlock the title - Benevolent King! ]

Of course it's option one!

Kill them all!

Wait, why would killing them all continue to improve the country's fortune?

Li Tian quickly asked the system.

I only heard the system reply:

[The Huaihe River region has a large population and fierce competition. Killing a large number of people will help ease population pressure.]

[The redistribution of land among the rebels can increase the loyalty of the people of Huaihe River. ]

【Therefore, this option will have a chain reaction. 】

Go to hell!

Fortunately, it was not confirmed directly!

Wait, what is an unlocked title?

Is this a new feature of the system?

really!

[Title system: can increase the results of ruining the country's destiny! ]

[Tyrant: After making a brutal decision, you can ruin the country twice as much! ]

[Categories of cruel decisions: employing cruel officials, burying surrendered soldiers alive, severely punishing ministers, etc.]

[Benevolent ruler: After making a benevolent decision, you can ruin the country's destiny twice as much! ]

[Categories of benevolent and righteous decision-making: favoring relatives of the emperor, indulging relatives of the emperor, and being kind to women, etc.]

So that’s it!

The title of tyrant is not a good one, and Li Tian still feels a little resistant to such indiscriminate killing.

And there aren’t many places where this title can be used!

Then choose Renjun!

Although it is impossible to reduce the country's fortune this time, it will be easier to ruin it in the future after you have the title of a benevolent monarch.

Li Tian immediately chose the third option.

"Xiao Weizi, tell Rand that the canal workers who participated in the mutiny were also bewitched by Pan Dazhuang and others."

"These people are also the people of the Great Zhou. I have a kind heart and do not want to kill them indiscriminately!"

"Send them to the frontier!"

Little Weizi immediately kowtowed and shouted: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted!"

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the title - Renjun! ]

Well, it’s not like I return empty-handed.

Li Tian could only comfort himself in this way.

Now, even the interest in going to Yuhang has decreased a lot.

In the following days, Li Tian strolled around Binhai and then ordered to return to Kyoto.

The original intention was to go out and have some fun, but with Rand and the ministers' help, I gained several thousand national fortune points in vain!

This month's work has been in vain!

There are only a few days left in this month, and Li Tian has to think of a way to quickly ruin the country's fortune!

There is another important thing. Those traitors in the court must be "dealt with" as soon as possible!

First of all, there’s that guy Zhang Yingchai!

Whenever he thought of this guy, Li Tian gritted his teeth in anger.

Why would you be such a loser instead of inventing something?

Where did the Queen Mother get such relatives?

He supervised the construction of railroad tracks in the position of the Driving Department. If he were to continue, wouldn't he have to build a steam engine?

No, this is too dangerous!

If he had really invented the train, the country's fortunes would have soared to the sky!

He must be transferred out of this position!

But where to transfer?

Li Tian began to worry.

Zhang Chai made many contributions and was also a relative of the Empress Dowager.

There is no reason to transfer him to a remote location.

We must find a "safe" official position so that he can't be allowed to invent anything again!

It's too dangerous for such a great inventor to stay in an important position!

Speaking of Zhang Yingchai, there is also his brother-in-law Tang Yan!

It is said that this guy is Zhang Xingchai's apprentice.

Neither this master nor the apprentice can stay in the Ministry of Works!

Then where should we transfer to?

Hube?

Officials?

Ministry of Justice?

Ministry of War?

Li Tian shook his head.

These departments either do not have a suitable location.

Or it's too important.

If this master and disciple team up to do something weird again, my heart won’t be able to bear it!

and many more!

Ministry of Rites!

Just send them to the Ministry of Rites!

The Ministry of Rites does not have much practical work to do.

If they were sent to the Ministry of Rites, they would study Confucianism all day long.

Those Confucian scholars in the Ministry of Rites can also educate them!

Reform your thinking!

Don’t think about creating anything new or inventing something!

That leaves Rand.

No matter how great his achievements were, the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Canal Transport Service was obviously no longer suitable for him.

He must be kept in Kyoto and watched over!

Li Tian also understood that a famous general like Rand would shine no matter where he was sent.

I can only stay in Kyoto and watch it under my own eyes.

This way he won't continue to expand his territory!

Must keep an eye on it!

Then I'll be transferred back to Kyoto and serve as the commander-in-chief of the Right Guard.

The chief commander of the Right Guard was Qin Tianyang, Marquis of Wu'an.

The old marquis had great skills and experience, so he made Rand his deputy.

Staying in Kyoto, nothing will happen!

Li Tian gritted his teeth!

These days, he finally came up with a big idea!

Since the ministers are unjust, don't blame him for being unkind!

I must succeed in destroying the country's fortune this month!

Li Tian came up with a big plan to ruin the country's destiny!

He hurried back to Kyoto just to implement this plan!

Late December.

Li Tian finally returned to his beloved Kyoto at the end of the month.

All the civil and military officials in the court were waiting outside the city.

This time, even the people of Kyoto gathered at the city gate.

Everyone shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor!"

Look at Li Tian with admiration.

After the river was turned into a sea, the price of grain in Kyoto dropped by one third.

The people of Kyoto are truly grateful to the emperor.

When Li Tian saw this scene, his mood finally improved a little.

Who doesn’t like being loved?

Speaking of love, the Sixth Prince has not had a good time lately.

After the famine crisis in Kyoto, the Six Wise Kings were in a state of panic.

I really let myself slip this time. If I’m caught by the imperial court, I’ll be doomed!

Sure enough, Jia Renyi quickly arrested those merchants who hoarded grain.

Then they found the steward of the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the devoted old butler committed suicide.

Next, we received news that Rand had quickly put down the Huaihe Rebellion.

The Sixth Prince became increasingly frightened.

My only son is in the Huai River!

Moreover, Pan Dazhuang is deeply involved with himself.

Later, his son Li Guangmao ran back home and told the Sixth Prince that Pan Dazhuang had committed suicide after the city was captured. Only then did the Sixth Prince feel slightly relieved.

But he was still very frightened.

If the emperor really wanted to find fault, then he would definitely not be able to escape since his loophole was so big this time.

What's worse is that news about the Sixth Prince hoarding grain began to spread in the market.

Some even said that the chaos in the river transport was caused by the Sixth Prince.

The Sixth Prince was almost frightened to death.

The reputation that he had painstakingly built up over the years collapsed.

Soon after, he learned that the emperor had stopped in Yuhang and was about to return to Beijing.

The Sixth Prince felt that this person must have come back to settle accounts with him.

He was even frightened to the point of falling ill.
