The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 160
that night.

All the people in Nan County have fallen asleep. Except for the shouting of the watchman, it is already peaceful. A small number of buildings are lit with kerosene lamps. You can see through the shadows that the scholars are reading at night.

Yan Mansion.

Yan Yang was already ready, opened the yard, and saw that there were hundreds of soldiers in the yard, and Guo Bai and others were also ready.

"How is it?"

"Dazai, there are a total of 500 armored soldiers, all ready."

Yan Yang frowned and said, "Have you contacted the city gatekeeper?"

Guo Bai shook his head: "The guard at the palace gate is the new Wei Wei, and even your majesty's father-in-law. How can we let him open the city gate? We have to use tricks to open the city gate, and then behead him."

"What if you can't cheat?"

"If you can't be fooled, then go in. We are ready to hit the wood, kill the guards, break open the city gate, and then enter the palace!"

Zhang Guangzhi next to him took a deep breath: "Can you hit it?"

"Yes, the palace has not been repaired, and the palace gate has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is not durable enough."

Du Hong was still a little scared: "Should we not wait a few more days?"

"What are you waiting for? Hesitating will only delay the good opportunity. Since we have already decided to go against it, if it continues to be delayed and the secret is leaked, can we still survive? Today is the day."

Guo Bai said in a deep voice.

Du Hong asked worriedly: "500 people, is it enough?"

"It's enough, as long as you control His Majesty, it's useless to have a large number of Imperial Guards."

"In that case, let's go."

In the dark night, hundreds of soldiers in armor walked towards the gate of the imperial city.

After a while, they stopped in the darkness and saw soldiers standing guard in front of them. Besides, there was a man in armor above the city gate, Ban Kuang.

Ban Kuang is also a D-level general, and even his attributes are quite good in D-level. Now guarding the gate of the palace is considered overkill.

In the patrol room, Ban Kuang's eyes narrowed and he saw a figure hurriedly running in front of him.

"Stop! This place is forbidden by the imperial palace, if you go any further, die!"

Ban Kuang shouted sharply.

"No, it's me, it's the old man, Dazai."

Yan Yang seemed to be out of breath, and when he got close, Ban Kuang recognized that this person was a courtier in the main hall at that time.

"Why are you here late at night?"

Ban Kuang asked coldly.

"I have to go to the palace to meet His Majesty. It's a very urgent matter."

"No matter how anxious you are, I will come back tomorrow. Your Majesty has already fallen asleep, so let's go back."

"The military situation is urgent. To tell you the truth, the old man received an urgent letter. It stated that tonight there must be a joint army of the four countries planning to invade our new country. This matter must be reported. Let me meet with His Majesty. When the time comes, I will kill you. All listen to the Holy Majesty's ruling."

Ban Kuang frowned slightly: "I haven't heard of any military information."

"Hmph, is this old man still lying to you? Here is the letter!"

Yan Yang actually took out a letter from his pocket.

Ban Kuang pondered for a moment: "In that case, please give me the letter and I will deliver it to His Majesty."

"No, the military situation is urgent. I must personally meet His Majesty on this matter."

Ban Kuang's face darkened: "It's Haishi now, His Majesty has fallen asleep, why do you have to go to the palace to meet the saint? Why not let me present the letter?"

Yan Yang also sneered: "I am the founder of the country, how can I trust you, this letter must be handed over to the emperor!"

"No, you can't enter the palace!"

"Could it be that you, a mere guard, want to stop me? You can at least take the crime of delaying the military situation?"

Ban Kuang's face was indifferent: "It's not up to you to worry about."

In the distance, Guo Bai and others frowned slightly when they saw that Yan Yang did not trick him into opening the city gate.

"It seems impossible, what should I do?"

"If it drags on, the soldiers patrolling the city will come."

Guo Bai gritted his teeth: "Get ready to take action."

Ban Kuang was about to scold Dazai to retreat, but at the next moment, arrows were shot out from the darkness, and the soldier standing next to him was directly hit by the arrows.

In the darkness, soldiers with weapons rushed towards this side quickly!
Ok?
Ban Kuang's eyes were cold, and he shouted in a cold voice: "How dare you rebel, come and inform the imperial guards!"

The soldiers next to him hurried away from the side of the city wall, while the rest of the soldiers bent their bows and set arrows on the city wall one after another.

The soldiers guarding the city gate below had already fought with the group of soldiers, fighting in a scuffle, but the opponent was outnumbered, but within a moment, they fell down.

"quick!"

Guo Bai yelled, those soldiers behind him, more than [-] people were holding a huge bumper, with a pointed head in front of it, they came to the city gate and slammed it down with all their strength!

Bang!
There was a muffled sound at the city gate.

"Fire arrows!"

Ban Kuang shouted loudly above the city wall.

Countless arrows fell, and the soldiers below were hit by arrows and fell down.

"Fire arrows!"

Guo Bai also shouted loudly, the soldiers in the rear all shot arrows, and the soldiers above were also shot to death.

At the same time, in the camp of the imperial guards in the distance, the imperial guards who received the signal have already rushed towards this side quickly.

Guo Bai knew that every second counts, and he shouted: "Break open the city gate! Reward a hundred gold!"

Bang!
Once again, the tightly closed city gate suddenly opened a little, and again, the city gate opened a crack, but there was a wooden railing stuck behind it.

"continue!"

Guo Bai yelled.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
There was a sound of impact, and the ram was really good, the city gate was about to be slammed open, and the crossbar behind it was stuck, and it seemed to be about to collapse.

Ban Kuang's face darkened. The city gate could not hold on for long. He immediately led the soldiers above to the front, preparing to stand ready.

Bang!
Another blow, the door was knocked open, Guo Bai was ecstatic: "Come on!"

Ban Kuang in front held his long sword tightly in his hand: "Kill!"

The soldiers around him immediately killed him!
At the gate of the palace, there was a scuffle. Guo Bai was in a hurry and took the lead. He wanted to rush away from the crowd, but was blocked by the squad.

The long knife in his hand missed Ban Kuang, but was blocked by Ban Kuang, and struck at the same time with a sword.

clang!
Guo Bai was so shocked that he retreated endlessly. He still wanted to resist, but at this moment, the imperial guards behind him had already killed him.

Ban Kuang's eyes were sharp: "Take them all!"

……

Another morning.

When there is no war, the player's task is still very easy. The main thing is to sit in the court, handle some government affairs and make decisions. The rest of the time is basically to experience the life of the emperor.

Ren Tian's strategy at this stage is indeed not to start a war, but to work hard to farm the fields first, and to push the scale of the new country to a small principality first.

Because the two boundaries between the principality and the marquis are a watershed. When it comes to the principality, it is a qualitative leap.

The number of legions can be increased by three at a time, and the number of legions can be increased again. In other words, the army of the new country will have at least [-] soldiers by then!
With enough troops to defend the city, the remaining troops can easily go out to fight.

Well, let's talk about farming first.

The time when Ren Tian went online was exactly when he opened his eyes from the bed.

The surrounding maids came to help with dressing, and Ren Tian also took the opportunity to look at Nan County's attribute panel.

In just one day, the prosperity increased by 3 points, agriculture increased to 64 points, commerce increased to 62 points, and law and order rose directly to 65 points.

It can be seen from this that when the city's infrastructure is good enough, even the city's attributes that will fall back after just upgrading will quickly increase.

Ren Tiansatisfied nodded, the city will be able to meet the conditions for upgrading to a large county, what is missing is the money for the upgrade.

He looked at the other conditions for upgrading the country's size. In addition to the previous restrictions on city size and comprehensive national strength, there were several more necessary conditions.

Repair the mausoleum, build the Taimiao, and hold a sacrifice;

have an additional concubine;

……

These conditions are not difficult. For Nintendo, there are two difficult factors. One is money, which costs money to upgrade the city. The second is cultural points. How to vigorously develop culture is still a problem.

Thinking in his heart, Ren Tian got on the Dragon Boat Festival and headed towards the main hall.

When they arrived at the main hall, the necessary procedures were completed, and Ren Tian was about to speak, but in the queue, there were ministers coming out to report.

"Initiate Your Majesty."

Ren Tian looked at Ban Kuang who stood up, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

"Play."

"Your Majesty, at Haishi yesterday, the former Dazai Sima and others attempted to rebel and invade the palace, but were taken down by the last general."

Whoa!
Just a simple sentence, the entire court was shocked.

Ren Tian was also shocked.

"Someone wants to rebel?"

Ban Kuang bowed his head: "Exactly."

Fuck, I work hard and strive to be an emperor who seeks happiness for the new country and the interests of the people, but there are still people who want to rebel against me?
Who can bear this?

Ren Tian was furious at once.

"People are dead or not, bring them up to me!"

The courtiers in the court also talked a lot, but they really didn't expect that these courtiers would actually rebel.

After a while, they saw Yan Yang and others who were handcuffed by wooden shackles, and they rushed up one after another.

Ren Tian looked at the embarrassed Dazai and the others, his face was already expressionless: "Dazai, you can do it, want to rebel against me?"

Dazai and the others didn't speak.

"My loves, please tell me, how should I deal with Dazai and others?"

Xie Dang stood up immediately: "Your Majesty Qizuo, anyone who betrays the superior, who is disloyal or filial, shall be executed according to the law!"

What he said was righteous and upright, and when he looked at Dazai and the others, their eyes were filled with fire, and his hatred of evil was evident.

Song Zhun, who had just appeared in the court and was in charge of the internal history of millet, also came out, and his voice sounded a little juvenile.

"Your Majesty, I echo what the Prime Minister said, even if your Majesty rules the world with benevolence and righteousness, the crime of treason is treason and should be executed."

Tingwei Su Ding also came out: "Your Majesty, Dazai Sima and several others must be beheaded."

Tian Dan said: "Behead him."

Almost every courtier opened his mouth and should be beheaded.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the crime of rebellion has been a capital crime, and this is no exception in the game.

Ren Tian looked at Qu Man: "Doctor Yushi, tell me."

Qu Man was a Si Kou before, and he was with Dazai and others at the beginning, but once he took the initiative to speak out and undertook the problem of improving the new country's laws and regulations. Ren Tian rewarded him and found that his loyalty had improved. differentiate him.

Of course, this question is also a bit embarrassing, after all, Dazai and others are Qu Man's friends.

"Your Majesty, I believe that you should be executed. According to the laws of our new country, even in the period of Gaozu, anyone who seeks rebellion shall be executed!"

Ren Tian looked at the Dazai and the others: "Yan Yang, Du Hong, you heard me clearly, if that's the case, let's kill them."

To these few people, Ren Tian will not show any mercy, let alone want to rebel?

This is no joke, do you want to sit in my seat?

Isn’t that going to turn the world upside down?

Du Hong, who was below, fainted immediately, Zhang Guangzhi cried and cried, but Ren Tian had already begun to formulate the imperial edict. However, when formulating the edict, he found that there were several additional options.

"One, ransacking the house and asking for execution;
[-]. Exile to other countries;
[-]. Implicate nine ethnic groups. "

There are a total of three options, Ren Tian looked at them carefully, opened the system panel out of curiosity and consulted, only to find that the results of each option are different.

If you can raid a house, you can get a lot of wealth from the courtier's family. If the person sent to raid the house has the highest looting skills, the more wealth you can get when you raid the house.

Exile to other countries can increase the benevolence of the emperor, increase the hearts of the people, and attract people who practice benevolent government to join them. Of course, it may also induce a reduction in public security points. Death is not a crime, is it?

To implicate the nine clans, deter all the people of Xinguo, and increase the security points.

The three choices are still very interesting, so Nintendo chose the first one without hesitation.

Rich!
Although the Zhulian Nine Clans also have some money, but not so much, and now they are really short of money everywhere.

"The four Dazai, Sikong, Situ and Sima are treasonous and immoral, and they are trying to rebel. They are now sentenced to be executed at Caishikou, and they will be declared to the world. I admire this."

The imperial edict was drafted, but there was still a lack of someone to carry out the house raids. It seemed that few of the ministers had the skills to plunder.

Finally, Ren Tian's eyes fell on Lang Zhongling.

"Meng Ben."

Meng Ben had his eyes closed at the moment, but when he heard Ren Tian calling him, he opened his eyes.

"I'm here."

"I leave the task of ransacking the house to you. Dazai Sikong and Situ Sima confiscated their house for me. All property will be confiscated."

"As ordered."

Meng Ben went down immediately. Dazai and the others were still being detained. When the morning court was over, they would be sent to the Nanxian Yamen immediately, and then pushed to Caishikou to be beheaded.

Many courtiers were a little envious. They could actually get some extra income from confiscating their homes.

Ren Tian was not in a hurry, he sat leisurely, and he could go through such things as ransacking the house, it was still very pleasant, but it was still early morning, and he didn't bother to wait for the next court, so he directly asked Meng Ben to search the house.

"My dear friends, please wait a moment and see how much money Dazai's four loyal ministers who 'serve the country and the people' can extract."

The corners of Zhang Guangzhi's mouth twitched, and his face was pale at the moment.

He didn't wait long, only about half an hour, and Meng Ben came back.

"Your Majesty, I have led people to search the house. Here are the properties that were searched."

A memorial was handed in, Ren Tian took it over and looked at it, he was shocked immediately, looked at the four Dazai, and said in a cold voice: "The four lovers really are dedicated to the country, I didn't expect that they were really four moths, come here People, press down and ask to be beheaded! All relatives of the four people will be beheaded together!"

　In the evening, there are three thousand words in one update, let’s go to dinner first
