I live in Dayu Changsheng

Chapter 187, Empress

The red sun was rising, the morning light was slightly cool, and strings of light red sunlight fell on the towering roof ridges in Jianye City, and fell on the blood-stained dilapidated city walls on all sides.

The morning of this day seems to be no different from the past, but it is quite different.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, but there wasn't a single corpse, because they were all dragged into the ground and turned into fertilizer for 'earth thorns'.

at this time.

The blood-colored thorny vines swaggered and stretched in the sun. After being nourished by a large amount of flesh and blood, they became more plump and bright, like a demon.

But the Nanyu soldiers were not afraid. Last night, they fought side by side with these 'earth thorns'. They already knew that they would not harm their own people. I don't know how many people were saved by them in the battle.

Even at this moment, these 'good helpers' are still working hard, turning into cages, trapping the disarmed prisoners of the Dayu Imperial Army.

On the other hand, the prisoners of the Dayu Forbidden Army avoided these 'ground thorns' as much as possible, and even dared not look at them, fearing them like tigers.

No wonder they reacted like this. They witnessed the people around them being penetrated by these demon plants, sucking their blood and marrow. I am afraid they will never get rid of such psychological shadows for the rest of their lives.

"Go! Go! Be honest!"

Nanyu soldiers escorted the dejected Dayu captives. Along the way, when they saw their own wounded and retreated robes, everyone's faces were tired, but more excited.

They often greet each other and ask each other a question.

"Man, how much did you harvest last night?"

"Individual decapitation merits, about [-] to [-] mu of land, the collective land is not easy to calculate, but it can add up to [-] mu!"

"I have a little more, probably fifty or sixty acres. I heard that General Lu's personal guards have at least one hundred acres!"

"But following General Lu, there were many casualties, and they were all fought with their lives."

"Hey, we big soldiers, where are we not risking our lives? Fighting for meritorious service, if you can exchange land, you should be content! Especially the downwind battle like last night, it is like picking up land for nothing..."

"Yeah, I have a lame leg. After this battle, I will retire. I have been through life and death for so long, so I should marry a wife and have children. Enjoy it!"

……

In the battle last night, I don't know how many people buried their bones in a foreign land, and how many people changed their fate.

And at this time-

The news of last night's big victory spread into the city, spread and set off a storm.

"Have you heard? Last night, the Yu army outside the city was defeated. Two days ago, our Nanyu seemed to be doomed, but the situation changed again overnight." Someone sighed.

"My son is a soldier. He came back in the morning. It is said that it was our Nanyu Emperor Master who performed the Dafa and turned the city full of spiritual plants and thorns..." This is a well-informed person.

"It's still the master emperor who has the ability. If you want me to say, what kind of empress? It's better to let our master emperor be the emperor!"

"Hey, it's not a good thing to say that, this kind of thing is decided by big shots."

"What, we Nan Yu won? Good, good, the land that my son sacrificed his life for is saved!" Someone heard the news and wept with joy.

"My third son is also in the army. I won a big victory last night. I don't know how much land I can get?" The woman pointed her fingers, her face full of longing.

"No one in my family joins the army. However, it's good that the fighting stops, and we can have a peaceful life again."

"Damn it! The demon way is indeed very harmful. Order me down, our people will go into hiding!" This is the spy of Dayu who sneaked into the city.

……

Different people in the city have different positions and react differently to the news of the victory.

……

A very ordinary courtyard in the city.

Just because Fang Rui is here, it becomes extraordinary.

At this time, Nanyu's civil and military officials gathered here, and it seemed to be the center of Nanyu.

The military generals fought all night, and all of them were full of evil spirits, because they all practiced martial arts, but they were all in high spirits; the civil servants all had dark circles under their eyes, but their spirits were also very good.

The victory last night made their hearts surge. This victory was not only a victory in a battle, but also meant that Nanyu had the foundation to separate the world from the north and the south of Dayu.

Furthermore, it has laid a solid foundation for the prosperity and wealth of everyone present.

"My lord, in the battle last night, 20 enemies were killed, and 50 were captured...the Dayu barracks outside the city was broken, and horses were captured...food and grass...our army casualties were extremely small..."

"very good!"

Fang Rui's expression was indifferent. After listening to the report, he put down the things he was weaving with grass stems in his hands, and stood up: "The victory last night is all thanks to you all. The ministers worked hard and the soldiers worked hard. How can we not win?"

He was not surprised by the follow-up results of last night's battle. When Ying Wuji led Emperor Yongding to look north in a hurry, the victory was a foregone conclusion.

"I'll wait for the lord to congratulate you!"

Civil and military officials bowed down together.

Last night's victory made Nanyu rejoice, the low morale of the soldiers was recovered, and the civil servants regained confidence in Nanyu. At this time, their attitude towards Fang Rui was fanatical and worshiped like a god.

"All right."

Fang Rui lowered his hands and signaled for everyone to be quiet: "This battle is won, but there are still things that need to be dealt with. The first thing is to stabilize people's hearts, and the reward of land must be implemented. As always, anyone who messes with this point will be killed without mercy. Xun Shou Help you keep an eye on this."

It is impossible to require his subordinates to be absolutely honest, and he is not a harsh person, but what can be taken and what cannot be taken, this has to set a red line.

"Promise!" Xun Bai, the first assistant of the cabinet minister, bowed down.

"Also, the city is full of 'ground thorns', I will restrain and order it later, so that it will not hurt people, so that the people can feel at ease..."

These 'earth thorns' are difficult to move for a long distance, and are far inferior to Jieyao's mobility, but using the remaining value to defend and defend the city, it can be used as hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers to ensure that the capital city is solid.

"General Guan, you don't need me to teach you about things on the battlefield to recover lost ground and expand the results of the battle. You can decide for yourself... just remember one thing, keep the word stable and do what you can."

"Yes!" Guan Zhi stepped out and clasped his fists.

All kinds of things, ordered one by one.

"If nothing happens, get out!"

Fang Rui waved his hand.

Civil and military officials are about to leave.

At this time, the cabinet minister Xu Ning came forward: "I also invite the lord to ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor."

Li Yu defected to Dayu because he was a sinful minister... No, the sinful emperor, Nanyu Wenwu helped his daughter Li Fan to be the emperor, it was just because Li Yu had no children, and there was no more suitable candidate for him at the moment, so he had to do it as a last resort The next policy.

In this world, there can never be a woman who is an emperor.

And the person who is most qualified and capable of replacing Li Jian as emperor is naturally Fang Rui.

At this time, Xu Ning first proposed that he wanted to seize the merit of support.

"There is nothing greater than following the dragon and supporting him. If the lord ascends the throne, I may take Xun Bai to replace him as the chief assistant of the cabinet!" '

Xu Ning thought to himself, and glanced at Xun Bai.

'Xu Ning is a man who is greedy for money and flatters, and he is also a villain! '

Xun Bai was ashamed in his heart, but his movements were not slow: "Please ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, my lord."

"My lord, please ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor."

The rest of the civil and martial arts had different expressions. They were regretful that Xu Ning took the first step in persuading them, or they were happy that Fang Rui was finally going to the stage, or they were thinking about the aftermath of this matter, and they followed suit.

"Ascension to the throne and proclaiming the emperor?!"

Fang Rui looked down at the civil and military officials, and he could see all the intrigues of these people.

Although these people are all devoted to him, and use all sorts of soft and hard methods to ensure their loyalty, but they are also divided into factions due to factors such as ideas, backgrounds, and interests, and they are by no means harmonious.

But, he doesn't care.

With Fang Rui's ability, he was confident that as long as he was around, these people would not dare to attack and could only obediently contribute their own strength.

In other words: let other powerful ministers treacherous ministers, arrogant soldiers and mighty generals, I will control them all by myself!
"As for enthronement, as long as I learn from someone like Zhao and pretend to give way, I can easily add a dragon robe and get the throne at my fingertips. '

'It's just that I didn't want the throne before, so why would I want it now? '

As Fang Rui waved his hands, the golden light lingered to help the civil and military officials, and said in a calm voice, "It's not my intention to be called the emperor, but I hope the world will be at peace. There is no need to mention the matter of being the emperor, the throne belongs to me, let me see!"

He said that if you don't leave the field, you will never leave the field. Only when you are off the field can you maintain aloofness and see clearly.

Furthermore, being lazy by nature is not a person who works hard at all.

"This……"

The civil and military officials saw that Fang Rui's words were sonorous and definitely not hypocritical, so they didn't dare to speak anymore.

While some people felt regretful, they also had a hint of joy. If Fang Rui did not ascend the throne, others would not have his prestige as the emperor, and the monarchy would naturally decline, which meant that the power of their subordinates would increase.

After these people leave.

Fang Rui sat down and continued to play with the grass stems in his hand, gradually weaving them into the shape of a straw man: "Well, that Empress Li Fan also needs to go and have a look. Last time she was punched by Li Yu. Never pay again.”

……

Jianye City, Nanyu Palace.

Emperor Nanyu, who is now the world-famous empress Li Fan, sat quietly with a book in his hand. He had a charming and charming face, but he had a heroic aura on his body.

Contradictory yet unified.

"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner."

The Imperial Catering Eunuch greeted the maids to bring up plates of food, and addressed him as 'Your Majesty', but his attitude was extremely cold, and there was no respect in his actions.

Who doesn't know that the empress is just a puppet without any power, and because the former emperor Li Yu who defected to Dayu, as his daughter, naturally bears the guilt.

Now, with Nanyu's great victory, many people are guessing when Li Ji will be deposed by the emperor and will be liquidated.

Under such circumstances, how could the eunuchs and maids in the palace show respect to Li Fan?
Li Fan ate cold food in silence, not arguing, let alone getting angry about it.

Her name, Li Ji, Ji Zhe, Shengtao also, implies "hanging herself", which is the name of the former Queen of Zhou.

The vicious thoughts hidden in it are self-evident.

In the past, in such a dangerous environment, Li Fan was as transparent as a little transparent, without any sense of existence, and survived.

Now, what is this cold reception?How can you be irritated?
'If I'm right, my chance to really change my destiny will come soon. '

After Li Jian finished his meal, his phoenix eyes flickered slightly, and he sat in the cold and deep palace and waited.

a moment.

Swish!
A figure in blue shirt appeared quietly, if it wasn't Fang Rui, who was it?
"Congratulations, my lord! Last night's victory over the Yu army, the world will be divided into north and south." Li Fan got up, and Fang Rui saluted deeply.

"Oh, you know I'm coming?"

"Yes."

"A wise man."

Fang Rui took a deep look at the woman: "Then you should also know why I am here and what does it mean to you?"

"Yes."

"Very well, I have three questions."

Fang Rui stood with his hands behind his back, looking straight into Li Jian's eyes, as if he wanted to peer into the girl's heart: "What do you think of your father Li Yu?"

"Be more resourceful than decisive, have no ambitions, and be naive."

This is an evaluation of Li Yu's personality.

Afterwards, Li Ji paused for a moment, and said again: "If you abandon your country and your wife, you will die with guilt."

The viciousness of this remark indicates a complete severance with Li Yu.

It's not that she is ruthless, but: her mother fell into the water strangely, the case was abruptly suppressed by Li Yu, and it ended without a problem. Behind it, there is no need to say much about the hatred for Li Yu and Queen Zhou.

To this answer, Fang Rui was noncommittal, and continued to ask: "If you get the power of government, what should you do?"

"Separate the south, recuperate, lighten the labor, attack the aristocratic family, and open up the wisdom of the people."

"Oh?"

Fang Rui's eyes lit up.

This woman's answer can be said to have exceeded his expectations.

First of all, there is no word of lying down.

In the past, when Li Yu was in power, he only knew how to lie flat, giving all the power to the cabinet, and rarely intervening, most of which was Fang Rui's fear.

But in reality, how could Fang Rui be afraid of him?The better Li Yu does, the happier he is, as long as the general direction is obedient.

Li Yu didn't see this point, but Li Fan grasped it.

Secondly, the thinking is accurate and hits the nail on the head.

"Recuperate and live, light corvee and light labor" is the most suitable policy for Nanyu. Now, several states are exhausted, and the separatist rule of the south is enough to support Nanyu, and there is no strength to fight it; It was more in line with Fang Rui's idea of ​​saving the world, and gave him a feeling that he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.

"What do you think of me?" Fang Rui asked the third question.

"I would like to surrender my body and mind to my lord."

Li Jian didn't say any words of praise or flattery, but went straight to the core.

"Okay, you relax and don't resist."

Fang Rui pointed out.

Swish!
Li Fan only felt that a saber light shone into the depths of his mind and disappeared.

This is a new application developed by the supernatural power 'Slaying Gods and Broken Spirits'. It is lower than one's own realm. As long as you don't resist, you can directly plant the sword light of the supernatural power 'Slashing Gods and Broken Spirits' into the sea of ​​consciousness in advance, without having to reach the killing line , Fang Rui's one thought can make the opponent's soul fly away, and the true spirit will be annihilated.

"If you betray, you will never be reborn forever."

Fang Rui's voice was flat, but it had a convincing force: "In exchange, you will become Nanyu's real emperor, a generation of empress."

"Thank you sir."

With this promise, Li Fan could no longer rely on himself, and a ray of ambition that had been hidden in his heart for a long time flashed through his phoenix eyes.

"It's a good thing that you are ambitious. However, the empress is not easy to do. People in the world will criticize you. Are you ready?"

"nature."

In front of Fang Rui, Li Fan did not hide his ambition: "Who in the world stipulates that a woman cannot be an emperor? As a female emperor, I want to make some achievements and shame thousands of men. As for what? Barking wildly, why worry? My merits and demerits will be judged by future generations."

"Of course, even though I am above tens of thousands of people, I am still below one adult."

As the empress spoke, her phoenix-like head lowered to show her obedience, her slender knees bent even more, and she knelt down right in front of Fang Rui.

She seems to understand the man's mind very well, and she treats him differently and contrasts in her words, inexplicably, giving people a taboo-like stimulation.

Swish!
The dragon robe came off, revealing the snow-white and delicate skin like glazed porcelain.
