Vol 8 Chapter 400: Guilt

The Emperor Xian looked at Wei Xiaode and Liu Zhong, and then said: "Two companions, if this matter cannot be resolved, then the agricultural tax that I said before will not rise, it will become a joke. If the peasants can't even eat food, they will not be far from the chaos of the world. What can the two companions have to solve this matter?"
Liu Zhong thought for a while, and then solemnly said: "Your Majesty, there is no good way for the old slave. From the current point of view, there is only one way now, and that is to directly make an order so that the goods between the world cannot be increased at will. Anyone who dares to raise prices at will will be punished severely. Only in this way can it be ensured that farmers will not be harmed by this tax increase."
Wei Xiaode said solemnly: "But if the merchants are not allowed to raise prices, I am afraid that more merchants will go bankrupt."
The Immortal Emperor also nodded, frowned and stomped there, while Liu Zhong said at this moment: "Your Majesty, although this will bankrupt more businessmen, it will also make the alliance of those businessmen self-defeating. But we can take this opportunity to pull more businessmen. We can tell those businessmen this news in advance, so that those businessmen will have a psychological preparation, and then when your majesty has made a decision, they will have some preparations. When the time comes, they will naturally appreciate us. If we want to draw them in, it will naturally be easier. As long as we draw more businessmen than the left and right sides, or are almost the same as the left and right sides, then we still have the right and left sides. Two-phase and one-higher ability."
When the fairy emperor heard Liu Zhong say this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then there was a hint of joy on his face? He turned to look at Wei Xiaode and said, "Wei Banban? Do you think this is feasible?"
Wei Xiaode thought for a while, and then nodded, "Your Majesty? The old slave thinks this thing is feasible? And the old slave thinks, whether this thing is feasible or not? We must do it. If we don't do it? The farmer Will it be damaged? By that time, it will be too late for everything."
The emperor nodded and said: "Okay, it's so decided, you also have to order Dongwei? Look at each city? In each city, if the merchants controlled by the big family dare to raise prices at will, They must also be cleaned up, absolutely not polite? This wind must be suppressed? Otherwise, it is really too dangerous." Wei Xiaode responded.
At this time, Liu Zhong said: "Your Majesty? The old slave has one more thing to report to your Majesty."
"What's the matter?" Immortal Emperor looked at Liu Zhong, he knew what Liu Zhong was talking about? It must be trivial? If it's a trivial matter? He would deal with it himself, and won't wait until now.
Liu Zhong opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has received the news. The Shadow Clan seems to have assembled some troops at one time to attack our line of defense. This time, the place they attacked does not seem to be the territory of the Blood Killing Sect. It's our other defense zones. Among them, there are defense zones we control, and there are also two-phase control zones."
The immortal emperor snapped Liu Zhong to say so, his face changed involuntarily, he immediately looked at Liu Zhong and said, "Is the news ready?"
Liu Zhong nodded, and the immortal emperor frowned and said, "What does Liu Banban think we should do?"
Liu Zhong immediately opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave felt that we should immediately order the defense zones we control to strengthen guard. As for the defense zones controlled by the left and right phases, we will not notify them for the time being. If this attack really caused them to suffer, we could just take the opportunity to make trouble. Now the two phases of the left and right are expanding their troops in each city, which is obviously aimed at your majesty. If we can use the hands of the Shadow Clan people to suppress their arrogance. , This is a good thing."
When the fairy emperor heard Liu Zhong say this, he couldn't help but frowned. Then he thought about it, and then said: "But if we do this, then many people will die on the border defense line, even though those troops are They are controlled by the left and right sides, but the sergeants in the army are all from our fairy world."
Liu Zhong said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I know you still treat them as people in the immortal world, as your people, as your soldiers, but they are loyal to the left and right sides, and the left and right sides are destroying the foundation of the immortal world. , Your Majesty, now the two sides, and the people under his hand, can no longer be regarded as people from the immortal world, nor can they be regarded as your people, your majesty, they are all your enemies, as long as you eliminate them, you can integrate The power of the immortal realm will wipe out the shadow clan in one fell swoop, reorganize the immortal realm, and restore the glory of the immortal realm, your majesty!" At the end of the talk, Liu Zhong had already knelt down, hit the immortal emperor and bowed down, and tears from him Outflow from the eyes.
Immortal Emperor looked at Liu Zhong, who was extremely excited, and felt sad. It took him a long time to take a deep breath, and then he said: "Liu Banban is right. They are indeed my enemies now. Only if they are eliminated. I can integrate the power of the immortal world and eliminate the Shadow Clan people in one fell swoop. Okay, just follow Liu Banban and do it like this."
Liu Zhong just responded, then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and stood up. The Immortal Emperor glanced at Liu Zhong, then at Wei Xiaode, and then said in a deep voice: "Wei Banban, the next big dynasty meeting, you want Do two things. First, order that the prices of goods in various places should not be increased at will. If there are those who dare to disobey, punish the three clans, and secondly order the two sides, and allocate ordnance to the twelve and four guards. There should be no mistakes. , Liu Banban, you also have to help Wei Banban to do these two things well. As for the orders from the frontier army, you can also give them right away."
The two of them responded at the same time. Only then did the immortal wave his hand, and the two of them exited the room. The immortal waited until the two of them exited the room, and then he opened the window and muttered while looking out the window. I thought that one day I would actually treat my people as my enemies, but it's a shame."
The immortal emperor's heart is really very uncomfortable. He was able to completely control the immortal world in those years, but in those years, his training encountered a bottleneck. He was going to retreat for a period of time to improve his strength, but the immortal world again It couldn’t be left alone. It just so happened that the two sides of the immortal world were too old and couldn’t manage them anymore, so he appropriated He Tuizhi and Sima Lang, which he had been very optimistic about, and let them become Two-phase left and right.
Afterwards, the old left and right sides, one after another, sat down, and the status of He Tuizhi and Sima Lang became more stable. At that time, He Tuizhi and Sima Lang were obedient to him, so he also trusted them even more. People, because he pulled these two people up with one hand, he thought they would listen to him.
It was all he wanted, and during the period of his retreat, the two of them slowly took him off the ground, united with the ministers in the DPRK, and gave him power little by little.
Originally, he didn't care about things like this. He was very clear that although he was the emperor of the immortal world, he was still a monk, and what was the most important monk? Of course strength, of course, is the most important thing on the Longevity Avenue. Because of this, even though he found He Tuizhi and Sima Lang's actions, he didn't care.
But after the Shadow Clan got into trouble, he found out that He Tuizhi and Sima Lang had shortcomings. These two men are inside-fighting insiders and outside fighting outsiders. They are really good at fighting for power inside. Externally, especially when facing the Shadow Clan people, they really didn’t watch enough, and they had no record of success. The Immortal Realm was defeated, lost a large area of ​​land, and killed countless people. Can only hold some big cities, but the large tracts of land have been lost, how can Immortal Emperor not be angry.
But when the emperor wanted to regain his power, he found that he could no longer do it. He Tuizhi and Sima Lang, the two guys, even united all the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government. Confronting him, even if he wants to regain power, he can't do it.
And the twelve guards and four guards that were available in his hand have all been rotten by He Tuizhi and Sima Lang. Even the hussars have been rotten, and he has no fighting power. I can't count on it anymore. At that time, the immortal emperor really couldn't make a move personally, killing the left and the right.
But he found that he couldn't do it. The left and right two phases had united the families in the city, and the masters of those families were all protecting the left and right phases, which made it difficult for him to move.
In the end, the Emperor Xian had to reuse the two internal officials, Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode. They came forward to integrate the Hussars and form the Dongwei. This slowly stabilized the situation. If he doesn’t do this, I’m afraid. He Tuei and Sima Lang both have the idea to abolish him.
If it were really said, all of this was his fault. If he didn’t know people and didn’t hand over power to He Tuizhi and Sima Lang, the immortal world would not be like this, the situation in the immortal world, It won't be what it is now, so Immortal Emperor really regrets it now, and he is also very guilty.
It is precisely because of this that the Emperor Xian wanted to clean up He Tuizhi and Sima Lang, and even wanted to clean up hundreds of officials, but he was really loyal to the army that was loyal to He Tuizhi and Sima Lang, as well as the small officials below. It's hard to say hate, and there has been no way to make a ruthless hand, so he and He Tuizhi and Sima Lang have been stalemate for so long.
But Liu Zhong’s words just reminded him at once that he should not hesitate so much, nor be so benevolent. Rather than hesitating so much, it is better to cut the mess with a knife and use all the methods used to deal with the enemy. Use it on them, so the effect may be better.
As long as he can solve the two phases of the left and right and the hundred officials in the court in the shortest time, and regain the power of the fairy world, he can use the power of the fairy world to form a new army, destroy the shadow people, and restore a clear and bright world in the fairy world. Restore the immortal world, which had become completely unrecognizable because of one of his mistakes, to its original state. Only in this way can he be truly worthy of the people and the ancestors of the immortal world.
When he thought of this, the immortal emperor could not help but let out a sigh. He really figured it out this time. Liu Zhong's translation really made him figure it out completely, so he didn't have the last hesitation in his heart. Up. "He retreat, Sima Lang, come on, let me see if you are great or I am great, let me come and see whether this world will eventually fall into your hands or return to me again. Hands!"
