Start with a blood-drinking sword and destroy the world of immortal cultivation

Ye Buwen took off his imperial robe and left.

He didn't give anyone time to react.

Upon hearing the news, Ouyang Zhan's grandson couldn't wait to take the throne and arranged for everyone to hold a grand coronation ceremony.

Ten days later, when the new emperor paraded through the streets, there was no one on the street except the soldiers.

The grand coronation ceremony that Ouyang Zhan's grandson spent a lot of effort and money to organize was not followed or watched by any people.

Such a cold audience made his coronation ceremony directly become the poorest ceremony in history and a laughing stock of everyone.

All the ministers knew that the reputation of the Wu family royal family had been beaten to nothing by Ye Buwen.

If the new emperor could not show the means close to the previous emperor Ye Buwen, the rule of the Wu family could only be said to be in name only.

"Mother, Grandpa, what can I do to win back the hearts of the people?" Wu Sheng, the new emperor, said to his two closest people with a sad face.

"Be a good emperor and the people will naturally have the hearts of the people." Ouyang Ting reminded.

"Mother, now the people and ministers are pretending to obey my orders but secretly disobeying them."

"After Ye Buwen left, all the capable ministers in the court applied for retirement. First, they don't listen to the order, and second, there are no talents. How can I be a good emperor?" Wu Sheng couldn't help complaining.

"Sheng'er, I know you are in a bad situation now, but you are the emperor, you are already the highest-ranking person in Wu. If you can't solve it, who can solve it for you?"

It's true, but he didn't come to listen to the truth, but to ask for solutions.

He needs a specific and executable plan, not vague guidance.

"Grandpa, do you have any good ideas?"

Wu Sheng looked at Ouyang Zhan, who was silent and taciturn.

"Sheng'er, your grandpa is just a warrior. I'm good at fighting, but I'm not good at helping you govern the country."

"The only thing I can do for you is to help you practice martial arts and become a congenital."

Wu Sheng felt a little resentful.

Weren't you very active when Ye Buwen was the emperor? He proposed many strategies to stabilize the morale of the army, and he personally went down to pay the soldiers and supervise the food supply.

How come you followed other ministers and lay still as soon as I took office.

"Grandpa, the morale of your army is not quite the same as mine. Do you want to change a group of sergeants to reorganize the team?"

Wu Sheng seemed to be asking, but in fact it was a request.

Requesting Ouyang Zhan to replace the people who believed in Ye Buwen in the army in a short period of time with those who supported him.

Ouyang Zhan sighed: "This kind of thing can't be rushed. You have just taken office and you want to drive out the people who have made contributions before. Who in the army believes in you? Ye Buwen didn't even do this kind of thing."

"Ye Buwen, Ye Buwen. He doesn't have much ability. Didn't he just solve some problems of lack of pay and corruption? Why are you all so supportive of him? I can do this kind of thing, why don't you support me?"

Wu Sheng was furious. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He even thought that it would be better if this dog emperor didn't become emperor.

Ouyang Ting looked at her son's emotional appearance and sighed in her heart.

You can't compete, you can't compete. She had to admit this.

Let alone ability, the character is far behind.

My son is still like a child, habitually looking for support and doing some unreasonable and willful nonsense.

"Sheng'er, mother has some unpleasant words to say, are you willing to listen?"

"Mother, please feel free to say it."

"Then mother will just say it."

Ouyang Ting looked serious and looked at Wu Sheng: "You are not as good as Ye Buwen, not only in martial arts, but also in character, overall view, personality charm, and courage."

"He was able to rule all the ministers in more than a month and had the problems left by your father caught and cleaned up, but you can't do this."

"The decrees he left behind benefited the people. But you insist on competing with him, changing his decrees and eliminating his influence."

"This is impossible. The decrees made by the ministers and him together are the best for Wu. If you don't do that, you will be a tyrant."

Wu Sheng retorted angrily: "But I used his order to heal the country. The credit belongs to him, not me. What's the use of it?"

"This is the difference between you and him. He doesn't care about the throne at all and makes great efforts to benefit the people. But you are still thinking about the throne under your butt, the rule of the Wu family, and the name of the emperor that will be passed down through history."

"Look at what you have done. Which one is good? You spent tens of thousands of taels of silver for face when you ascended the throne. You dismissed Li Minyun as soon as you came to power, and you hurriedly took back power and restored the special treatment of the various royal families of the Wu family."

"You think the tax is too low and increase it. You took back the Royal Chamber of Commerce that was originally allocated to the national treasury and turned it into the royal treasury."

Wu Sheng was even more dissatisfied when he heard this.

"Mother, what did I do wrong? Ye Buwen gave orders blindly. Look at his orders, which one can last long? Those who did this in history books all had turmoil in the dynasty and constant party struggles in the court."

"He was happy to be the emperor for a month, but I almost spent all the three million taels of silver. If I don't increase taxes and collect some things, how can the palace survive? These palace maids and eunuchs can't even afford to eat."

Ouyang Ting touched her head with a headache. How could her son inherit his father's stubborn and childish characteristics after becoming the emperor?

Wasn't he very sensible and obedient when he was the prince?

"Forget it, if you don't help me, I'll go to my father."

"Go, go. If your father comes up with good ideas, just do it."

Ouyang Ting broke the jar and didn't want to pay attention to this annoying matter.

However, just when Wu Sheng was in dire straits, his power was taken back, and the titular Li Minyun did a big thing.

He rebelled.

Not only did he rebel, but he also led his troops to conquer hundreds of miles of Linguo and the rest of the country, and ascended the throne as emperor.

Neither Wu Guo nor Yu Guo expected that Li Minyun was so strong and moved so fast.

None of them reacted.

Wu Sheng was shocked and angry and shouted in confusion at the court: "Li Minyun, where did he get the soldiers and where did he get the money?"

"Your Majesty, according to intelligence, Li Minyun received the help of a folk sect, the Rakshasa Sect, and the rebellion of the soldier commander who was dissatisfied with Your Majesty in the army, so that he was able to quickly take over part of the rest of the country."

Wu Sheng was furious. It was a great shame and shame for the soldiers to rebel.

"How many traitorous soldiers are there in the army?"

"Thirty thousand, plus the 5,000 soldiers raised by Li Minyun's family, a total of 35,000 soldiers."

"Thirty-five thousand can defeat the rest of the country like this, how is it possible?"

"Your Majesty, these are elite soldiers who have robbed the equipment warehouse and are fully armed. In addition, the incident happened suddenly and the situation was overwhelming. The rest of the country did not have time to react."

Wu Sheng slammed the table angrily.

"What does the Ministry of War do for food? Such an important place as the equipment warehouse can be robbed."

"Your Majesty, the Minister of War also rebelled. It was he who led the people to open the weapons warehouse."

"Then where do they get their food and grass from?"

"Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance who retired from old age and returned to his hometown also rebelled."

Wu Sheng's eyes widened in disbelief.

First there is the Prime Minister, then there is the Minister of War, and then there is the Minister of Household Affairs. These are all ministers of the court.

"Tell me, who else in the court has rebelled?" Wu Sheng was angry.

"Report to Your Majesty that all the powerful officials you planned to secretly seize power have rebelled."

When Wu Sheng heard this, he sat on his chair dumbfounded.

"How did they know? Who leaked the secret?"

"Your Majesty, I forgot to tell you that I also rebelled."

Wu Sheng and the ministers looked at the eunuch beside Wu Sheng blankly.

You damn eunuch, do you know what you're talking about?

Wu Sheng was frightened and shouted: "Guards, protect me, protect me!"

The eunuch laughed heartily. He was as light as a swallow. He avoided the guards in a few jumps and fled out of the hall.

Wu Sheng was extremely frightened.

The minister below looked at him like a monkey, which made him feel ashamed.

There were ministers and soldiers guarding him, but he felt that none of them could be trusted.

Any one of them could be a traitor.

Wu Sheng ran out of the palace and hurriedly searched for his mother and his grandfather Ouyang Zhan.

It was not surprising that Ouyang Zhan got the news about Li Minyun's rebellion.

And told Wu Sheng something even worse.

The major Xiantian families in Wu Kingdom had already stationed troops before Ye Buwen came to power, including the princes and nobles whom he trusted.

It's just that Ye Buwen was too strong and suppressed them from breaking out. Now that he is in power, the ambitions of many families can't help but be exposed.

If this matter is not resolved, more people will rebel.

"Grandpa, what should I do?" Wu Sheng said anxiously, "The Wu family's fortune will not be cut off here."

"It can't be stopped. That kid is gone, and I am the number one innate. With the skills left by your ancestors, no one dares to act rashly. Those who rebel are at best like Li Minyun, who rebelled against other countries."

Wu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when he thought that his grandfather was still with him.

wrong.

Wu Sheng came back to his senses and thought: "I already have such a strong grandfather, why don't I go back and eliminate all the Xiantian families. Even eat the remaining land that was conquered by Li Minyun."

He told Ouyang Zhan his idea.

Ouyang Zhan shook his head: "You can't fight, you can't rush, you still have to get their support."

"Why?"

"Because you have no money, no reputation, and no popular support. How can you rule the people if you lose people like the noble family?"

Wu Sheng had to compromise after hearing this.

Just when Wu Sheng was anxious to talk about marriage and cooperation with major aristocratic families.

Li Minyun released news that the country was named "Zhou" and Emperor Tianwu Ye Buwen was named the first emperor.

The Zhou Kingdom will adopt the decrees of Emperor Tianwu's period and put all people first.

We are now specifically recruiting all the major businessmen and farmers and craftsmen from the Kingdom of Wu to settle down in the Kingdom of Zhou. The tax policy is preferential and you can get naturalized citizenship.

Upon hearing this, Wu Sheng cursed Li Minyun for being a bitch and shameless.

Use the reputation of others to attract people to yourself.

But it has to be said that Li Minyun's move was indeed effective, and the people closer to Zhou State turned traitor.

Not only that, many skilled people went to Zhou State, especially those who were rewarded by Ye Buwen and moved their families.

In order to retain people, Wu Sheng also had to announce and make an announcement.

Emperor Tianwu was the emperor of Wu State, not the emperor of Zhou State. Wu State was the orthodox one.

Li Minyun immediately counterattacked, saying that the Zhou Kingdom was the orthodox state. There was a Rakshasa sect that believed in Emperor Tianwu and obeyed Emperor Tianwu's decrees. He was also the father-in-law of Emperor Tianwu.

Li Minyun and Wu Sheng were bickering in the air, while the instigator sat on the flying boat and let the two female cultivators take him to the world of immortality and to the realm of Xuansha Sect.
