Happy Emperor

"Of course, this is just my guess."

Seeing that everyone began to believe what he said, Lin Tian said in a deep voice: "We can't just sit there and wait for death."

"Royal brother, I will send someone to find out more information."

Lin Tianyang bowed.

"No need. How could a secret message like this be discovered by spies?"

Lin Tian waved his hand.

"Then...then what should we do?"

Lin Tianyang stared at Emperor Li and asked.

"High Pressure" Lin Tian's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said in a cold voice: "Whether it is the Prince of Pingdong who eliminates the internal rebels, or Lin Zhen successfully seizes power, it is the same to me."

"An Bilie and Huang Tianba, you two must each lead 30,000 troops and advance the front line 50 kilometers. Seventh brother, you must immediately rush to Jifeng Province and order them to do the same."

"Your Majesty, if we advance fifty kilometers, won't we be entering the territory of King Pingdong?" An Bilie asked with some concern.

"Yes, I want to rob. Of course I have to push it in. Such opportunities don't come often."

"Besides, only in this way can we avoid being passive. But remember, you cannot initiate the battle. However, if someone from the Pingdong King's side takes action, you must immediately attack with all your strength."

"According to the order!"

Everyone knelt down and shouted in unison.

........

Twenty days later.

Lin Tian moved the command center to a city on the border of Liaoan Province and Jifeng Province.

There has been a lot of news coming from the front these days.

When King Pingdong saw Emperor Li advancing again, he actually chose to withdraw his troops fifty kilometers again.

The two armies were once again a hundred kilometers apart.

This time, Lin Tian did not order the army to advance further.

He was now certain that it was King Pingdong who was launching another clearing operation.

If it were Lin Zhen, he would definitely not choose to retreat again.

If we keep postponing the war without any war, it will not only affect the morale of the army, but it will also be difficult to regain these territories.

How could a man who only wanted to be emperor allow the territory he controlled to be gradually swallowed up by others?

"Report!"

Suddenly, a loud cry came from outside the military tent where Lin Tian was.

"General Huang Tianba has returned to the main camp and requested an audience with the Emperor."

"Bring it in!"

Lin Tian was slightly stunned. Huang Tianba actually came back on his own without him summoning him. There must be something important happening ahead.

And this matter requires him to come back in person and pass it on to himself.

After a while.

Huang Tianba, wearing armor, walked quickly into the military tent and immediately knelt down when he saw Emperor Li.

"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"

"Excuse me, what happened earlier?"

Lin Tian asked repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, your guess is correct. King Pingdong has indeed eliminated the internal rebellion." Huang Tianba replied panting.

"How did you know?"

"The King of Pingdong sent someone here, hoping to see Your Majesty."

"He wants to see me?"

Lin Tian was slightly stunned, but then he looked at Huang Tianba and asked, "Time and place."

"Three days later, the location will be chosen by Your Majesty."

"I can choose at will? It's fine if you let King Pingdong come here!"

"Uh...it should be fine, but it might be a little late."

Huang Tianba grinned and replied in a deep voice.

"He, the King of Pingdong, is not afraid to see me anywhere, so why should I be afraid to see him anywhere?"

Lin Tian looked at the map of Daxia hanging on the wall and pointed at a city.

"That's it, Maoyi City! The center of the intersection between the two armies."

.......

Three days later, in Maoyi City, Gibraltar Province.

Huang Tianba and An Bilie led more than a thousand musketeers to escort Emperor Li to the prefectural government of this city.

The other side also came here with a thousand people according to the same agreement.

However, it was obvious that Prince Pingdong had arrived earlier, and all the soldiers were stationed at the side of the prefectural governor's mansion. When they saw Emperor Li coming, no one saluted.

At the door, the governor of Maoyi City was standing outside. When he saw Emperor Li dismount and come over, he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, Wang Mang, pays homage to His Highness the Sixth Prince."

Lin Tian didn't even look at the man and walked straight into the mansion.

An Bilie and Huang Tianba followed in at the same time.

There was no one in the entire mansion, only two generals standing upright at the door of the main house.

Upon seeing Emperor Li, he bowed slightly and said, "I pay my respects to the Sixth Prince. The King of Pingdong has been waiting for you for a long time."

Then the two of them pushed the door open.

"You two wait for me again."

Lin Tian turned around and gave instructions to An Bilie and Huang Tianba in a deep voice.

"According to the order!"

The two were not worried about the danger inside. The King of Pingdong had lived an upright life and would certainly not dare to do anything despicable.

Moreover, Emperor Li's skills are extraordinary, and even if there is an ambush, it is impossible to subdue him silently.

There are still a thousand musketeers outside. If a fight really breaks out, it is estimated that King Pingdong will suffer in the end.

After Lin Tian walked into the room.

I saw an old man with slightly gray hair sitting in front of the coffee table.

He was wearing armor, but he didn't carry any sword.

When he saw someone coming in, the old man raised his head and shot his eyes at Lin Tian like a sharp sword.

Lin Tian also looked at the old man. The two of them, one standing and one sitting, looked at each other without anyone speaking.

"I was wrong back then!"

After a while, the old man sighed softly.

"Greetings, Uncle Emperor!" Lin Tian replied in a deep voice.

But he didn't lower his head or bend down, and he didn't even raise his hands.

"sit down!"

King Pingdong pointed to the seat beside him and said.

Then he picked up the teapot and filled two cups.

I muttered to myself, "I never drank tea before!"

Lin Tian didn't say anything, but sat down delicately, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Aren't you afraid that I will poison you?" King Pingdong asked, staring into Lin Tian's eyes.

"Hahaha." Lin Tian chuckled twice: "Uncle Emperor won't do that!"

"How can you be so sure?"

"A hero wouldn't do such a mean thing! Besides, when you were pouring the tea just now, I saw that there was more tea in your cup, which means you had already drunk it."

"Smart! Honest! And good at talking."

Prince Pingdong commented, then took a sip of tea as well.

"Tea really doesn't suit me!" King Pingdong said coldly, holding the edge of the teacup with two fingers.

Then apply a little force.

"Crack!"

He actually crushed the teacup with two hands.

It's shattering, not cracking.

See how terrifying his finger strength is.

"Since the Emperor's uncle doesn't want to drink tea, then he can just not drink it."

Lin Tian sneered and tapped the teapot on the table with his fingers as he spoke.

Suddenly, with a sudden force, the teapot gradually cracked from the middle under the impact, and finally the tea spilled onto the table.

Although it was not as exaggerated as King Pingdong crushing the teacup, Lin Tian only used a single finger.

The control of force involved here is more difficult than crushing a teacup.

"Nice force!"

King Pingdong spoke again.

"Uncle Emperor, thank you for your praise!"

"I heard that you are very close to the three kings of different surnames, Li Ren and Zhao Wuji? Moreover, their constant harassment of Gannan and Xiangzhong provinces is also arranged by you, right?"

"Yes!"

Lin Tian nodded slightly.

"To order a king of a different surname to attack a vassal king of the same surname, even the late emperor wouldn't have dared to give such an order."

"The late emperor ruled the country with benevolence, so of course he wouldn't do this."

Lin Tian replied in a cold voice: "It is the kindness of the late emperor that has brought Daxia to where it is today."

"Do you think the late emperor did something wrong?" King Pingdong asked coldly, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

"Isn't that right?"

Lin Tian asked back.

"Now Great Xia is in ruins, torn apart. The Seven Nations Alliance is even more eager to seize control of Great Xia. Isn't this the result of a lack of righteousness and benevolence?"

Hearing this, King Pingdong withdrew his gaze.

"You know the Ouyang family of Ningfeng Province, right? They were one of the four kings of different surnames appointed by Emperor Gaozu. You know what they did."

"Of course, and I have completely wiped out the Ouyang family!"

King Pingdong was stunned when he heard this and looked at Lin Tian seriously.

"There's no need to consider old friendships with a disloyal minister. Leaving them here will only bring disaster sooner or later!"

Lin Tian replied coldly.

"Did you know that during the reign of Emperor Gaozu, the ancestors of the three kings of different surnames, Zhao, Li, and Wang, also harbored rebellious ambitions? If Emperor Gaozu hadn't cut off his arm to save himself, Daxia today would probably no longer be Daxia!"

"I know!" Lin Tian knew what the knot in King Pingdong's heart was. In fact, this was the main reason why he had always opposed these three kings of different surnames.

"But the emperor uncle didn't understand what I meant."

"Well? Keep talking!"

"The Ouyang family's disloyalty is now their disloyalty to our Lin family, and the disloyalty of the three kings of different surnames is what their fathers did, not their current disloyalty to the royal family!"

"Are you sure they will remain loyal to the royal family in the future?"

King Pingdong asked.

"Can we, the Lin clan princes, guarantee our loyalty to the royal family in the future?"

After these words were spoken, King Pingdong fell silent again.

"Things are constantly changing, and the situation is constantly shifting. Back then, their fathers were determined to betray the royal family because they felt they had the ability to establish an independent nation. But now, whether it's Zhao Wuji, Li Ren, or Wang Qian, none of them can rival our royal family, not to mention Prince Sheng is eyeing their three territories."

"If the Emperor's uncle continues to look at the three people today with the same eyes as before, he will only push them into a desperate situation, and they may eventually surrender to King Sheng. Wouldn't that be a loss for our Great Xia?"

King Pingdong remained silent, but his eyes no longer had the determination he had at the beginning.

"And I believe that the emperor's uncle also knows that the time has come for our Great Xia to unify. Otherwise..."

"As expected, what father said back then was right. Our Lin family will have descendants who can solve the problems of Daxia."

King Pingdong muttered to himself.

"Where is Lin Zhen? How did you deal with him?" This time it was Lin Tian's turn to ask.

"How do you think I should deal with him?"

"Those who are disloyal will be beheaded!" Lin Tian said without any hesitation.

After hearing this, King Pingdong's eyes suddenly narrowed.

He knew that Lin Tian was right, but...

"Are you going to kill my two children with your own hands?"

After a while, King Pingdong asked in a cold voice.

"Huang Tianba!"

Lin Tian shouted to the door.

"Bring the person here to me."

"According to the order!"

Although King Pingdong didn't know who Lin Tian was going to bring, he didn't stop him.

After a while, the door was pushed open.

Another girl walked in quickly with red eyes.

"Xue'er, Xue'er, you didn't..."

"Father!" Lin Ruxue threw herself directly into the arms of King Pingdong.

"What's going on? Your maid said that you have already..." King Pingdong asked Lin Ruxue in his arms with tenderness.

"Brother Lin Tian never wanted to kill me. We are..."

Lin Ruxue recounted everything that had happened in Shengjing during those days.

Lin Tian didn't say anything to disturb the two of them.

When Lin Ruxue said that it was Lin Zhen who did it, King Pingdong frowned and his eyes flashed coldly.

Obviously, Lin Zhen did not tell King Pingdong everything.

After a while, King Pingdong looked at Lin Tian again.

He sighed deeply and said, "I'll leave Lin Zhen to you!"

He always believed that Lin Zhen just wanted to force him to abdicate and wanted to become the emperor of Da Xia.

But he didn't expect that this beast would not only harm his own sister in order to achieve his goal, but also secretly collude with the State of Zhao and sell out the country's territory.

Of course, King Pingdong would not keep such a person.

"Uncle, do you want to go to Shengjing to spend your later years?"

Lin Tian had expected Lin Zhen to be executed. With King Pingdong's personality, he would certainly not keep such a person alive.

"I promise that if the uncle is willing to go to Shengjing, the people of Daxia will not know about Lin Zhen's affairs."

Lin Tian's words were full of threats.

Moreover, he is now somewhat confident that King Pingdong will agree.

Firstly, the issue of the king of a different surname was resolved; secondly, without a son to inherit the land, it was meaningless for him to stay here.

"Who are you going to let take over my three provinces?"

King Pingdong asked with concern.

"If you are willing to give up your position as a vassal king, I will gradually remove all vassal kings from Daxia and use governors to govern the provinces."

"As for the three provinces of Jilu, Anping, and Yulin, I will hand over the military power to Huang Tianba, An Bilie, and Lin Tianyang. As for the governor, I will find one in the future. However, the military power will be under the unified jurisdiction of Shengjing."

"Not only these three provinces, but the entire nation's military power will be like this."

"You alone manage the military power of the entire country?"

King Pingdong asked.

"It's not just me. It's Shengjing. I will set up an agency in Shengjing to be responsible for the management of Daxia's military power, and this agency will be composed of veterans like you, my uncle. As for Huang Tianba and the others, they are all executors and only have partial power to manage military power. ..."

Lin Tian roughly explained his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, King Pingdong nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, I agree to go to Shengjing."

........

one year later.

Daxia was unified, and the feudal lords across the country were steadily reduced in power.

A central military agency was established in Shengjing, initially with eighteen members, including Prince Pingdong, Zhao Wuji, Li Ren, Wang Qian and others.

During this period, Lin Tian married Qi Mengchan! Including Ji Lan, An Caier, and Batu Jin.

There were four imperial concubines in total, and all of them gave birth to princes for him.

Two years later.

Daxia resumed the major examinations, but the examination content was no longer the traditional eight-part essay. Instead, there were some books compiled by Lin Tian himself, named Chinese, mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, etc.

All the talented people in Daxia were astonished by the knowledge of Emperor Li of Daxia. Moreover, through the study of these students, the knowledge system of various subjects gradually began to be enriched. Of course, this is all a story for later.

Five years later.

All the assets of the Seven Nations Alliance were destroyed by the Emperor Li. Initially, the Seven Nations Alliance wanted to send troops to attack Daxia, but before they could enter Daxia's territory, they were all strangled by a mysterious army.

It was said that this army consisted of only a thousand men, but each man had a submachine gun! And what about those things called cannons? Those things could only blast a large area, and they couldn't penetrate even an inch of Daxia.

Moreover, Daxia had an army of over 100,000 men, and they only obeyed the orders of Daxia's Emperor Li.

The leaders are Huang Tianba and An Bilie.

Twenty years later.

Emperor Li of Great Xia announced that the country had officially entered the semi-industrial era.

Iron ore, oil and all kinds of things they had never heard of suddenly appeared on this magical land of Daxia.

The other countries of the Seven-Nation Alliance finally discussed and decided that instead of Emperor Li attacking, it would be better to surrender and unify voluntarily.

Daxia became the Chinese civilization.

But what everyone in Greater China doesn't understand is.

Emperor Li actually sent tens of thousands of people on a giant ship to Japan five years before the unification of Chinese civilization.

The soldiers who returned said that Emperor Li's order was to kill them all, leaving no one alive.

Sixty years later.

Lin Tian announced his abdication and handed over the throne to the eldest prince, Lin Aotian!

Lin Tian is known as the eternal emperor of China. Respected by thousands of people!!!
