Chapter 36 The Great Zhou Emperor's Touch
Great Zhou Empire.
In the palace.
Emperor Ji Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty looked at the memorials in front of him with a serious look on his face.
Many beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The recent events in the Great Zhou Dynasty made him feel overwhelmed.
After he ordered the whole city to be rebuilt, not only did he not have any people's hearts to him, but on the contrary, it made the people even more resentful of him.
According to his understanding, after embezzling money, some corrupt officials forced the people to pay for their own money to renovate their own houses in order to give him an explanation.
If not renovated, it will be considered a rebellion...
Under such circumstances, the people were almost forced into a dead end.
It just so happened that people rebelled in a city outside the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The emergence of the rebels attracted countless people to join, and the rebels' offensive was fierce, causing several cities to fall.
Even the capital almost fell in the last battle because the people of the capital all worked together to open the city gate and let the rebels in...
If a legion guarding the north had not returned to the army to protect his troops in time, he might have lost his head now.
Later, the Northern Legion pacified the rebels.
Although the anti-army was pacified, the national strength of the Great Zhou also began to decline wildly...
What made Ji Wu the most headache was that the Northern Legion came down to rush to help, which led to other countries invading the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Now that wars are happening, all kinds of resources are beginning to show a trend of inadequate supply, and he cannot help but feel overwhelmed.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we have sent the envoys to the Tang Dynasty back."
An eunuch walked into the palace and whispered.
"Come back? Let him in."
The Emperor of Great Zhou wiped away the sweat from his forehead, put down the memorial, and said breathlessly.
He could only hope that Datang would not take action at this time.
If that genius and extremely vicious Emperor of the Tang Dynasty took action...
He was really not sure that he could defend the Great Zhou.
"Yes, your Majesty."
The eunuch left the hall.
After a while, the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty was taken into the palace.
The envoy of the Great Zhou knelt in panic and said in panic as soon as he saw Emperor Ji Wu: "See Your Majesty!"
He couldn't help but be afraid.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually rewarded their Majesty.
Moreover, the imperial edict was still in his hands, and he was afraid that he would be stabbed to death by the emperor with a sword...
"What happened this time when I went to Datang? Let's talk about it in detail."
Ji Wu exhaled and waved his hand and said.
The envoy of the Great Zhou hesitated for a moment and told the emperor everything that happened in the Tang Dynasty.
This included the Tang emperor humiliating Ji Wu in public.
Originally, the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty thought that the emperor would feel angry after hearing this.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Ji Wu looked calm and did not look angry at all.
Indeed, the same is true...
Not only did Ji Wu not have any anger, but he was still grateful.
Is the Emperor of Tang angry?
Because he saw through the layout of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty became angry and humiliated him in public.
“That’s all?”
Ji Wu said with a smile.
The envoy of the Great Zhou was stunned when he saw the emperor's smile, and then said, "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also sent an imperial edict, and the princess also sent a letter back."
Imperial decree? Faith?
Ji Wu raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his hand and said, "Take me the princess' letter first?"
He was still very concerned about this princess.
Because this princess is so smart...
It’s a good thing that’s the daughter.
If it is a man, is this throne his own or is it a different story?
The envoy of the Great Zhou took out a letter from his waist.
Ji Wu opened the letter and started to take a closer look.
After he finished reading it, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
really.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty really wanted to invade the Great Zhou, but his army came out of Wuming.
Fortunately, he noticed it, otherwise the Great Zhou would have really come to an end.
If he only felt that the 99% possibility was true after reading this letter, he was 100% sure!
I think that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would not have any evil intentions towards the Great Zhou in the short term, right?
Ji Wu's hanging heart finally relaxed. He waved his hand and said, "You can read the imperial edict given to me by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to me."
Reading the Imperial Order?
The expression on the face of the Great Zhou messenger suddenly became wonderful, and he had the desire to die. If he read it, would he still have a life?
"Your Majesty... the content of this imperial edict is not very good, otherwise you don't have to read it?"
He said in a trembling voice.
The content is not very good?
Could it be that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty humiliated him?
Ji Wu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, no matter what content, I will forgive you for not guilty."
He didn't have any anger.
On the contrary, there is a faint sense of comfort.
Being insulted by such a talented and stubborn emperor is also a testament to his strength.
When the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty heard this, he could only grit his teeth and take out the imperial edict. Looking at the contents on it, he said in a trembling voice: "The emperor's edict said..."
He had just finished reading this sentence and seemed to be exhausted and could not read it no matter what.
Seeing this, Ji Wu frowned slightly and scolded: "Baozi, take the imperial edict. I want to see what it is written, so you are so afraid of reading it."
The envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty was about to be pardoned and quickly handed the imperial edict to the emperor.
Ji Wu opened the imperial edict and watched it.
After watching it, he couldn't help but tremble.
The contents of the imperial edict were translated into the Dazhou text, and the meaning was almost all about his cowardice. This was not the key, and what shocked him was.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually sent 10 million taels of silver, armor, war horses, food and grass, etc. in the name of "reward"...
Did the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty notice the situation of his Great Zhou, and used the name of reward to suppress all officials and force the assistance of the Great Zhou?
"The Emperor of Tang Dynasty, I took great pains to do it..."
Ji Wu's eyes were red, and a warm current flowed through his heart.
The most ruthless imperial family.
He was in the position of the emperor and was destined to be ruthless for his whole life.
For example, in his current situation, who would like to help those ministers on weekdays? They all lowered their heads and didn't even have any ideas.
In this case, the Emperor of Tang actually gave him assistance.
Perhaps the emperor understands the emperor best...
"Your Majesty, this was given to you by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and sent someone to tell me that I can only show you."
The envoy of the Great Zhou gritted his teeth and took out another letter.
Ji Wu opened the letter to watch.
Inside the letter is a map, which depicts military deployments from all over the Tang Dynasty.
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty... I am worried that I will not be able to defeat it. At that time, I can rely on this map to escape into the Tang Dynasty, avoid major military deployment sites, and live a good life? The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it is really..."
Thoughts flashed through Ji Wu's heart. He didn't expect that this talented and wise Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would care so much about him.
Could it be that he saw through the layout of the Emperor's brother of the Tang Dynasty?
