Longevity: Beginning from Becoming a Clan Leader

A muscular old man with thick bones walked in.

He bowed to the county guard and said, "Zhen Hong Sect, Zhen Lian, I have met the county guard."

"I apologize for disturbing you."

This man looks rough, but his words and deeds are polite and polite, which is quite a contrast.

"Please get up quickly. I don't know why Elder Zhen is here, but he even went there in person."

"Hey, Lord Sheriff..."

The two exchanged pleasantries.

"... Recently I heard that the father-in-law is going to make trouble again over the mining tax. I have a headache."

"We are just from a martial arts sect, just trying to make ends meet. We will give what is due, but this father-in-law is too greedy. The county governor is highly virtuous and respected, so I still hope..."

"Haha, Elder Zhen, who else is this...?"

Zhen Lian smiled slightly on his old face and stretched out a fist.

The Sheriff's brows jumped.

"How are you doing?"

"I hope you, sir, can take care of this person a little bit. In this way, I'll be fine with you, and everyone will be fine."

The county guard squinted his eyes and looked at Zhen Lian, "Haha, that's right. I will definitely tell you."

Zhen Lian was overjoyed, "Then I'll be waiting for your good news!"

"It's a small thank you, but it's not a sign of respect. I hope you'll accept it."

A small wooden box quietly appeared in front of his desk.

After Zhen Lian left, the smile on the Sheriff's face disappeared.

Looking at the wooden box, there was a stack of banknotes from Dade Bank, estimated to be tens of thousands taels.

"Haha, you are a traitor and a traitor."

The county guard took a sip of the banknote and stared intently.

The mining tax eunuch has indeed gone too far lately. Although he is collecting money for His Majesty, if he continues this nonsense, I am afraid that he will force those guys to jump over the wall, and then...

…

The capital city of Ouyue.

Imperial City Hall.

The young Emperor Tai'an sat upright.

Wave.

A young eunuch trotted out, holding the imperial edict in his hand.

Below, the officials looked at him in confusion, but Emperor Tai'an showed no intention of explaining or foreshadowing.

An unknown feeling arose spontaneously.

The little eunuch held the imperial edict in his hands and began to read it loudly.

"..."

"Today, rebellions are everywhere and the people are living in dire straits. This is all caused by land annexation, people's greed, and the rise of evil cults. To ensure stability, we have decided to order the local virtuous people to form their own troops to investigate the rebels and evil cults in various places to ensure peace."

"In this way, the place will be safe, the people will be happy, all the officials will be well-served, and the country will be settled."

The little eunuch's shrill voice echoed in the empty hall, bringing with it a long-lasting reverberation.

But no one broke the silence at this moment.

The whole hall was eerily quiet.

It was not until the young eunuch put away the imperial edict that a Confucian scholar with white hair and beard rushed out of the queue, crying blood.

"Your Majesty, no!"

"This is an order to bring chaos to the world!"

"Only names and weapons cannot be left to others. Your Majesty delegates power to names. If there is no one to restrict or suppress the local area, the powerful families will inevitably grow bigger. They will be a greater disaster. At that time, the princes will be divided and the heroes will compete for the throne. Our country is in danger. !”

"Your Majesty, please take back the order!"

"Your Majesty, please take back the order!"

A group of old men stood up and knelt on the ground.

But if you look carefully, you will see that only a dozen or so people are standing out in this vast hall. The other civil and military officials and clan nobles are all filled with uncontrollable joy.

Some people even changed their expressions when they saw the old man standing up.

"Bold! Your Majesty's eloquent words are just to suppress Bai Ling and stabilize the country. How dare you, such a noble man, talk nonsense?!"

"If the elders have a solution, they can tell it. If not, it's better not to obstruct the New Deal with empty words."

"Fork them out!"

"..."

For a time, there was a surge of emotion.

More than a dozen people's faces turned red.

They really have no good solution. Sometimes, things cannot be improved with just one or several good solutions...

They could only watch the wrong government order being issued, but all of them had no choice. At this moment, they could only kowtow non-stop.

There was blood everywhere.

I hope the emperor can take back his life.

In the Golden Palace, on the dragon chair, Emperor Tai'an looked at these dozen people, and then at the other officials who were either anxious or seemingly calm, with a cold expression.

"I have made up my mind, no need to say anything more."

After saying that, Emperor Tai'an stood up and walked back.

The little eunuch came over quickly and said, "Retreat"

Not finished yet.

At first, the old man stood up with sad eyes, "Your Majesty!"

"The dynasty has been raising scholars for two hundred years. I cannot watch your majesty go astray. However, the monarch and his ministers have their own principles. I must not disobey the will. I can only watch the country perish. This is my sin. Now, I can only die to repay your kindness! "

"I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

Then, he looked at the civil and military officials, his eyes fierce like wild beasts, "Waiting!"

"They are all traitors and traitors, and they will not die a good death!!"

Finished.

boom!

Crash towards Chengde Pillar.

"The only choice is to die! To repay your kindness!"

A dozen people shouted in unison and rushed towards the pillar.

Emperor Tai'an's pupils shrank and his fingers moved slightly, but he still restrained himself.

He watched helplessly as more than a dozen people crashed to death in the main hall.

Blood spilled on the gold.

The hall was silent for a few seconds.

The smell of blood gradually spread, giving this magnificent place a touch of foreboding.

"Censor Liu Rende has no regard for the emperor, and forced the palace with blood. I ask that his whole family be imprisoned as a crime!"

"..."

Groups of people stood up.

Emperor Tai'an looked at him coldly, without saying anything, but walked back to the harem from the back.

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.

No matter what.

This self-an order was successfully issued.

…

Local self-government, no limit on personnel.

The government will not punish.

When the self-an order spread throughout the world.

Everything changed.

Countless people celebrated, they were the oppressed rentiers in the past.

Countless people cried sadly, they were loyal ministers of Yue.

Countless people were indifferent, they were ordinary people in Yue.

And when this order was spread to An County.

Chen Nuo's mood was extremely complicated.

"Abolish the historian and establish the governor, and you can get stability." (Han)

"Local armed militia." (Qing)

"Hold the troops and respect the governor." (Tang)

"This world is completely over." Chen Nuo murmured to himself.

He didn't understand very well, didn't Emperor Tai'an behave very wisely not long ago?

Could it be that he couldn't see the consequences of this policy?

Chen Nuo didn't believe it.

There are many smart people in this world. If he can see it, others can see it too.

So, maybe there are other reasons behind it?

But no matter what, this order has been issued, and the chaos in the world in the near future is inevitable.

What should my Chen family do?

Fight for the dragon?

Chen Nuo doesn't want to do this at the moment. The family has only so many people. Fighting for the dragon is probably going to end in the middle of the road.

Since you don't want to fight for the dragon, think about how to protect yourself.

Just when Chen Nuo thought so, he didn't know.

This order from Emperor Tai'an also untied the restrictions of another group.

The world will go in another direction for a short time in the future.
