The white moonlight of the paranoid tyrant was stolen

Chapter 2 She deserves to die
Qingxuan treasury has long been empty, and corrupt officials are like cockroaches that keep breeding in the open. It is impossible to treat them slowly from the outside to the inside.

Because the national treasury is empty, Qingxuan's soldiers, let alone armor, may be hungry and full even when they eat.

This is true for soldiers, let alone common people.

So when the Qingxuan Kingdom was destroyed, she did not have any hatred for the Heavenly Qin Emperor.

After walking for a while, Gu Ruzhen felt strange.

This Emperor Tianqin seemed to be walking extremely slowly. She followed behind without falling behind, and even the two of them walked together evenly.

Realizing this, she slowed down her pace and retreated behind him.

However, at the next moment, the man suddenly took a few steps forward, and within a few seconds, Gu Ruzhen was left far behind.

The scholar behind touched his chin with a mysterious expression, and pretended to fan the feather fan in his hand.

The man in armor next to him patted the scholar on the shoulder, "Wei Shengsi, what are you laughing at?"

Wei Shengsi frowned and slapped his hand away heavily with the handle of the feather fan, "Cui Shao, my body is made of flesh, not iron, take it easy."

Cui Shao curled his lips, thinking that Wei Shengsi was too hypocritical for a man to be so afraid of pain.

"By the way, do you think our Majesty is interested in Empress Qingxuan?"

The movements of Wei Shengsi's hands stopped for an instant, and he looked sideways, with undisguised surprise in his eyes.

"Even you can find it. It seems that His Majesty's thoughts are indeed very simple."

"Hey! What do you mean by that? I can find out what it means? You make it clear, or don't blame me for being rude."

Wei Sheng covered his face with a feather fan, then silently rolled his eyes, "If you speak louder, His Majesty will hear you, and then we two will be beaten together."

Cui Shao was silent for a while, and lowered his voice, "Do you think His Majesty will take Queen Qingxuan back?"

Wei Shengsi: "...Don't drag me if you want to die, your majesty's private affairs, you dare not talk about me, I'm very timid."

……

After a while, Qinzheng Hall arrived.

Gu Ruzhen looked up at the golden plaque, the words on it were written by the founding emperor Qingxuan.

However, Qingxuan's brilliance was only in those short decades.

By the time of Chu Lichen's generation, Qingxuan was already hovering on the brink of death.

Chu Lichen is her nominal husband now. It has been a year since they got married.

The plaques of Qinzheng Hall are meticulously taken care of every day, so even after hundreds of years of wind, rain and sun, the plaques have not faded.

After stepping in, Gu Ruzhen took a look, and met the eyes of several veteran officials.

Being able to appear here is because he doesn't want to surrender, or he wants to seek something for Qingxuan here, or he wants to save Chu Lichen's life.

In the eyes of several people who dared not speak out, Emperor Tianqin sat on the dragon chair.

"Come here." The man stretched out his hand towards Gu Ruzhen with a tough gesture.

Before Gu Ruzhen spoke or moved, a white-haired veteran couldn't help stretching out his hand and scolded, "As Queen Qingxuan, how can you flatter others? Qingxuan's country is destroyed, and you should die for your country."

It was probably this person who made the start, and the others puffed up their chests to agree.

"The queen is Qingxuan girl, and she should die for her country to set an example for Qingxuan girl."

"If the queen is not dead, I will not surrender."

……

The man frowned, and the mask covered his face so that he couldn't see his expression clearly, but his eyes showed a very cold light.

He bowed his head and looked at the woman with a straight back not far away, "Did you hear that? They want you to die for the country to fulfill Chu Lichen or..."

Emperor Tianqin pointed at these old ministers, with a mocking arc on his lips, "Fulfill their reputation."

Gu Ruzhen did not show anger or fear, but quietly looked at these veterans, and then at Emperor Tianqin.

Instead, he asked lightly, "What can I get in exchange for my death?"

In the other hand, Emperor Tianqin was still holding the two pieces of broken jade just now.

There was only a "click", and the broken jade turned into powder, scattered from the fingers on the ground.

"Excellent, excellent." The corners of his lips were pressed down, and he looked coldly at the veterans, "Miss Gu really has the heritage of the Gu family's ancestors. I really admire her righteousness."

"However..." He changed his voice and snorted lightly, "I just don't like threats."

"Which one just said that Miss Gu will not surrender unless she dies?" Emperor Tianqin picked up the long sword, which was still stained with blood.

He pointed the tip of the sword at the man, exerted a little force on his wrist, and the sword pierced through the air, passed through the man's throat, and finally nailed it to the pillar behind him.

Even in the process, there was no time to let out a scream.

Blood sprayed out and splashed on the faces of several other people. The veteran ministers who were planning to discuss terms with Emperor Tianqin to protect Emperor Qingxuan suddenly stiffened and did not dare to breathe too much.

Emperor Tian Qin fought in all directions, and such scenes have happened many times in the past few years. Even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, several veteran officials have heard of his brutal reputation.

But because Emperor Tianqin's methods were not as tough as before, and he hadn't been too ruthless until now, so several people inevitably had other plans in their hearts.

It is believed that Emperor Tianqin probably did not want to lose a reputation for being cruel, so he took gentle measures to appease the hearts of the people.

If the king is cruel, the people will not obey him.

In particular, Qingxuan was the last country unified by the Tianqin Emperor, and if he implemented brutal methods here, it might ruin the peace of the surrounding subordinate countries for several years.

The surrounding vassal states refer to the cities that used to be similar to Qingxuan but were attacked by Emperor Tianqin.

Several old ministers discussed overnight before the Tianqin army was about to enter the city, and felt that for the sake of the stability of the country, Emperor Tianqin should treat Qingxuan a little better.

However, Emperor Qin killed one of them with a sword when he disagreed with each other, which made the others lose confidence in the previous discussion.

Emperor Tianqin didn't care whether the outside world's reputation for him was good or bad, and even because of their words, it was very likely that Qingxuan would fall into a place of eternal doom.

Gu Ruzhen clenched her palms tightly, frowning as she watched what happened before her eyes.

The corners of Weisheng's lips curled up, and his long and narrow fox eyes also curled up. He walked up to the corpse, pulled out the sword with great effort, and then turned to look at these veterans.

"Who gave you the courage to challenge His Majesty?"

Wei Sheng found it strange, after all the years of fighting, perhaps at the beginning there were such veterans who pointed at the pillars and threatened that if the king’s life was not spared, he would hit the pillars and die, leaving His Majesty with a bad reputation for thousands of years. Pierced through the chest by a sword.

After this incident, the people His Majesty meets again will appear much more obedient.
