Chapter 426 How a Tyrant Is Made

Those who besieged Jueying took Chanjuan as a hostage, forcing Jueying to hold back everywhere.

In a moment of desperation, he fell into the opponent's trap and was seriously injured.

If some people hadn't seen that he was still breathing weakly and rescued him back home, he would have died in the fire long ago.

When Wei Wuji found him, Jueying still couldn't get out of bed, and his body hadn't fully recovered.

Jueying was certain that it was a group of Northerners who fought against him.

Lord Ling issued an order while he was ill, ordering the whole country to arrest the barbarians in the north, regardless of men, women, old or young, and kill them on the spot.

This was an unprecedented massacre, and when the massacre was triggered, the whole world was shocked.

The ministers' reports flew to Los Angeles like snowflakes, and Prime Minister Pei Song even rushed to Los Angeles to meet the emperor in person, trying to stop this tragic massacre.

However, the emperor insisted on going his own way, and he would not change his mind no matter who persuaded him.

In less than a year, hundreds of thousands of northerners in Lingguo were slaughtered, almost exterminated.

Lord Ling was angry at Jueying for leaving Yuankong Temple without authorization, which led to Qin Luoyu's death, and insisted on killing Jueying.

Wei Wuji begged hard for mercy, and only then did he ask for Jueying's life, but from now on, he can no longer serve the king.

A year later, the recovered emperor returned to Night City. Regardless of the objections of his ministers, he overhauled the mausoleum for the empress in Jiyu Mountain, which is known as the location of the Dragon Vessel of the Mausoleum.

The world has already been owned by the Ling Kingdom, and everyone thinks that the world will be ruled soon.

However, Junling of Ranling often lives in the hermitage of Jiyu Mountain near the Queen's Mausoleum, and has no intention of managing the government.

The affairs of the court, the top and bottom, all depend on the full support of Prime Minister Pei Song.

The series of reforms and new policies promoted by Pei Song have affected the interests of wealthy and noble families. Previously, Ling Junxing had spared no effort to support them, but nothing happened.

Now that the emperor is ignoring the government, your family took the opportunity to unite and launch a counterattack against Pei Song.

Pei Song was reported for corruption, breaking the law, forming a party for personal gain, and the "evidence" was conclusive.Lord Ling is about to send him to the imperial prison, and orders you to question him strictly.

However, in view of Pei Song's past achievements, Ling Junxing did not kill Pei Song, but no longer appointed him any position.

The position of prime minister was replaced by someone else.

The newly appointed prime minister did not have the ability of Pei Song, but within a year, the Ling Kingdom gradually became chaotic.

The call for Pei Song to return to the imperial court grew louder, and Ling Junxing finally agreed to let Pei Song serve as prime minister again.

It wasn't long before Pei Song was dismissed again.

An official who went to visit Pei Song accidentally found a portrait of the empress hidden in Pei Song's house.

Officials secretly reported the trip to the mausoleum, thinking that Pei Song had a secret disobedience to the empress.

Ling Junxing was furious when he heard about it, and immediately wanted to kill Pei Song.

Wei Wuji, who made great contributions to the pacification of the Southern Chu, Western Shu and Great Qin, had been promoted to the Marshal of the Mausoleum Army again at that time.

He pleaded desperately for Pei Song, angered the emperor, and was deprived of the position of generalissimo again.

In the end, it was Zong Wanrou, the granddaughter of Grand Master Zong, who came out and said that the portrait was not of the empress, but of herself.

She and Pei Song made a marriage contract back then, and she gave Pei Song a portrait of herself. Unexpectedly, the marriage contract between the two families was terminated later, and Pei Song still kept the portrait privately until now.

As for why the portrait resembles the Empress, Zong Wanrou said that she had seen the stunning beauty of the Empress before, and she had always been yearning for it, so when she drew this self-portrait for herself, she couldn't help beautifying it a bit, and unconsciously turned towards the Empress Lean on.

Ling Junxing finally spared Pei Song's life, but dismissed Pei Song's prime minister again.

After this incident, Pei Song married Zong Wanrou, and the two became husband and wife.

In the second year of the Ling Kingdom's pacification of the world, many places in the former Great Qin were hit by drought.

The imperial court failed to provide disaster relief, and mutinies broke out in various places in Daqin. Wei Wuji led the army to quell the rebellion.

The war in Great Qin still lingered, and some people in Southern Chu also raised troops to respond, intending to re-establish the original Southern Chu royal family and restore Southern Chu.

Pei Song was reactivated at this time, but not long after he was framed and imprisoned again by the powerful, and finally survived due to insufficient evidence.

After Pei Song was released from prison, he left Night City with his wife and lived in seclusion in Jiangzhou City.

The situation in the world is not stable, every place is in chaos, and chaos is resurfacing. Wei Wuji is exhausted, and has not been able to return to the capital for nearly a year.

At this time, it was already the third year after Qin Luoyu's death.

Ling Junxing was finally willing to walk out of the hermitage in Jiyu Mountain and returned to the government.

It's just that the current emperor is no longer the wise and promising emperor who worked hard to rule three years ago.

Ling Junxing's temperament became ruthless, violent and unpredictable.

It's just because of the ditties sung in the Goulan wine shop in the night city, which is disrespectful to the late empress.

Lord Ling was so furious that he ordered the closure of all Goulan restaurants that had been in the night for more than a hundred years, and reorganized them.

Faced with the courtiers' persuasion, Ling Junxing had no patience, and killed people and wiped out his family every time he disagreed with him.

The ministers kept silent and did not dare to say more.

At this time, Chengji, the tomb of King Yuansu, who traveled all over the world, came back to pay a visit to Lord Ling.

He knelt down to reflect on the mistake of chasing and killing Qin Luoyu back then, and begged Lord Ling to allow him to return to Evernight City for the sake of his past affection.

Ling Chengji knelt outside the Qianyuan Hall for a day and a night, and Ling Junxing treated him indifferently.

That night, a sad and mournful song of departure rang outside Qianyuan Hall.

Ling Chengji blew it all night, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

The next day, Ling Junxing was finally willing to announce him into the palace, re-canonized him as King Su, and allowed him to stay in Buyedu from now on.

Soon thereafter, Lord Ling went to Great Qin and Southern Chu to quell the chaos.

He changed Wei Wuji's previous strategy of being gentle and conciliatory, and launched a ruthless killing of the rebels.

More than [-] people who participated in the rebellion, even if they surrendered, Ling Junxing would not keep a single one, and they would all be murdered.

Suspecting that the former Southern Chu royal family had colluded with the rebels, Ling Junxing ordered all the male members of the Southern Chu royal family to be tortured in public, and all the female members were demoted as slaves.

The people sympathized with what happened to the royal family of Southern Chu, and folk songs lamented the incident.

In a fit of rage, Ling Junxing ordered thousands of people who made and sang this song to be arrested and imprisoned, and all of them were executed in public as a warning to others.

People in the world are in panic, and both the government and the public are shocked.

After the rebellion was put down, Lord Ling took a detour to Xishu and stayed in Meicheng for a long time.

Yuankong Temple has long since been rebuilt as it was, but no one is allowed to enter without authorization.

Ling Junxing lived alone in the room where he and Qin Luoyu lived for more than a month.

Ling Junxing thought over and over again of the words she said to him tenderly on the night of parting.

"Your Majesty, do you want to guess how much I like you?"

"I like the emperor very much, the kind of liking that I love very much. I will never like the kind of liking of anyone other than the emperor in this life."

In the silent night, Ling Junxing stood there for a long time in a daze, his eyes wet.

She liked him so much, but at that time, he valued the world more than her.

Because of the epidemic, he easily left her, left her and the child in Yuankong Temple, and let her face the dangerous fate alone.

If time can turn back.

Ling Junxing thought, he would never abandon her for the sake of the so-called world and the people.

She is gone, what's the point of this world belonging to him?
He wants her, he wants her, he just wants her.

 The heroine has indeed gone back, but the heroine will not appear until tomorrow~
