Chapter 27: A Tyrant from the Start of the Dynasty, A List of Tyrants: Emperor Gaozong of Song, Zhao

"?"

Zhao Kuangyin slowly typed out a question mark.

Why are you still cursing!

Did this hit a nerve?

"You shouldn't have asked that question. Anyone who has experienced the Battle of Suishui would not want to face an enemy like Xiang Yu again."

Li Shimin spoke a fair word.

Why rub salt into someone's wounds for no reason?

Are you bored?

"So in this challenge, all of you who just commented have overlooked one thing, and that is the fear in people's hearts."

"With 200,000 troops wiped out, for a long time to come, no one will dare to face Bai Qi directly!"

It seemed to confirm Li Shimin's words.

The image in the sky instantly split into several pieces.

Each piece shows a tribe's reaction to the battle.

They all reacted in the same way, without any prior agreement.

Withdraw from the Central Plains!

Two hundred thousand soldiers, and not a single one survived!

They dared not imagine what kind of enemy they were about to face!

No survivors means no useful intelligence.

The unknown enemy is always the most terrifying!

It wasn't just the tribes on the grasslands that were intimidated; even the Central Plains forces that had split off from the Western Jin Dynasty were frightened.

Ironically, before Ying Zheng even had a chance to conquer cities and seize territory, he had already received numerous letters of surrender.

Still in the village, Ying Zheng looked at the three or four letters of surrender in front of him, all inviting him to take control of the Central Plains.

When did the throne become so hasty?

Anyone at random.

Is it true that as long as one is strong enough, one can conquer the Central Plains?

These people were even high-ranking officials in the Western Jin Dynasty, and they were all responsible for guarding a region.

Did they have absolutely no sense of belonging to the Western Jin Dynasty?

"Bai Qi, do you think that if my Qin Dynasty were to fall apart, you would surrender to others so quickly?"

After opening and reading each letter of surrender, Ying Zheng turned his head and asked.

Bai Qi's answer was without hesitation.

"This humble general will fight to the death; as long as we survive, the Qin Dynasty will not be destroyed!"

There is absolutely no possibility of surrender!

"The Sima clan's killing of the emperor in the street also brought them backlash. In everyone's mind, the emperor no longer held a high and mighty position, and they believed more in power."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

This situation will continue until Yang Jian establishes the Sui Dynasty!

It can be said that the Sima family's act of killing the emperor in the street ushered in a true era of chaos!

A chaotic world is one where there is no faith, no respect for superiors, and only a worship of power!

"Kill the emperor in the street? Who gave them the audacity?!"

"Which emperor was killed?"

Liu Bang couldn't help but ask.

He was very curious about which dynasty's emperor could be so tragic as to be attacked and killed in the street!

"Cao Mao, the emperor of Cao Wei."

Cao Cao: "?"

Upon hearing Li Shimin's words, Cao Cao could no longer remain seated.

The one who was killed was the emperor of Cao Wei.

Was it the Sima family that committed the murders?

Sima Yi!?

That old geezer was definitely no good!

"Men, seize Sima Yi for me!"

So you think you can usurp my Great Wei Dynasty just by living a long life?

"Prime Minister, I've been wronged!"

Sima Yi's move was a complete disaster.

If it were merely a matter of the Sima family usurping the throne, Cao Cao might not have spared the lives of his entire clan.

Just for the fact that the emperor was assassinated in the street, not a single member of the Sima family, from top to bottom, or even any family that had any connection with them, would survive!

"Injustice?"

Old Cao approached step by step.

"I have not wronged you!"

"Although the world calls me a traitor, I am still a Han official and would never do anything to truly harm the emperor. But what about your Sima clan?"

"Killing the emperor in the street is something I wouldn't even dare to dream of, yet your Sima clan has done it. And you still dare to complain in front of me?"

"Drag him away and execute him by slow slicing, along with his entire family!"

"From this day forward, the Sima clan will cease to exist!"

Even after the guards dragged Sima Yi away, Cao Cao was still furious and looked at the surrounding generals.

Seeing him like this, everyone held their breath.

Only Xu Chu scratched his head.

"Prime Minister, if you're still not satisfied, I'll go and arrest all of Sima Yi's family members, and chop them down one by one in front of you to vent your anger, how about that?"

Seeing his simple and honest appearance, Lao Cao couldn't help but chuckle.

"You idiot, I'm angry at more than just Sima Yi."

And Cao Pi!

Cao Cao was aware of Cao Pi's ambitions.

But he is also somewhat complicated.

On the one hand, they knew that the Han Dynasty was at its end and had no hope left.

On the other hand, he always remembered his childhood ideal: to restore the Han Dynasty!

It was precisely because he cherished this ideal that he never strayed from it.

Even though he knew that no one would dare to object to him becoming emperor, he still never had such a thought.

"So be it. Future generations will decide for themselves. I don't care what happens after I die."

After a long silence, Cao Cao looked up at the sky again.

The reason why no one in the Western Jin Dynasty was loyal to the emperor has been revealed: for Ying Zheng, having won the battle against the Five Barbarian Allied Forces, this challenge was like a free gift.

The vast majority of forces readily surrendered, while the few who resisted either opened the city gates to surrender or suffered the loss of their cities and lives when Bai Qi's army pressed in.

The Western Jin Dynasty was already quite weak, and it further split into more than a dozen large and small forces, none of which could withstand a single blow from the Qin army.

This challenge was so easy that even Ying Zheng was somewhat surprised.

No wonder, in the challenge issued by the immortal, if you bring troops in, the reward is only one-tenth.

This challenge, starting from scratch, is no less difficult than climbing to the heavens, but as long as one has enough power to drive out the Five Barbarians, it will almost be a free reward!

With the black dragon flag of the Qin Dynasty flying again in Guanzhong, this challenge came to an end.

[Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, successfully completed the challenge.]

Reward: Fifty years of lifespan, and twenty years of favorable weather for the dynasty to which you belong.

Because Ying Zheng brought 100,000 veteran Qin soldiers to participate in the challenge, the reward was reduced to one-tenth.

Bai Qi's reward for assisting him: Two and a half years of lifespan!

This challenge was unbelievably simple, yet what happened within it was still deeply moving.

The chaos and devastation caused by the Five Barbarian Invasions cast a shadow over the hearts of countless emperors.

"A mere one-tenth of the reward is not worth having!"

"In my opinion, the First Emperor was clearly not confident in completing this challenge, which is why he simply led his troops to crush everything in his path."

"The result would be the same no matter who it is, even if it were me!"

Zhao Gou seems to have forgotten his earlier prediction that Ying Zheng's mission would fail.

His outbursts have indeed angered many people.

"I haven't yet had the chance to ask who you are, or what remarkable achievements you've made that allow you to spout such nonsense here?"

Li Shimin, unable to bear it any longer, questioned him.

"I have single-handedly secured decades of peace for the entire Song Dynasty. No one in your ranks could have done it!"

Zhao Gou's face was full of pride.

However, the words that appeared on the sky the next moment made his face slap in the face.

[Top Ten Worst Rulers in History]

Seventh: The tenth emperor of the Song Dynasty, the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.
