My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 249 Whispering in the Dark

At this point, Li Wenzhong raised his head and thought that if these corrupt officials were allowed to continue to take extortionately, the emperor would certainly be able to coerce the world and drive out the barbarians from all directions.

But if he makes one wrong move, his name as a Saint King will inevitably be lost. Even if he has the martial arts skills to expand his territory and lay the foundation for eternity, he will inevitably be reduced to the same level as the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and receive mixed reviews in the annals of history.

This is also one of the means by which people in this world restrain these earthly humans and gods who hold supreme power and power.

Yes, it is true that no one dares to do anything to you when you are alive.

You are sitting on the power of the dragon vein, feasting on the incense of the world, invincible in the world, killing and taking away the lives of all people.

But after absorbing the dragon's veins, one's lifespan will be limited after all.

At this time, you always have to consider your reputation for eternity after death, as well as the evaluation of your life's merits and demerits by your descendants!
Don’t you see, King Qin built Afang Palace in his later years to accommodate the orphans of the Six Kingdoms, to show that the world was settled, and all the hatred in the past disappeared with the return of the Six Kingdoms to Qin. I lamented that in the early years of the war against the Six Kingdoms, the killings were too heavy, so that the world has been united for more than ten years. , the great Qin Dynasty still cannot truly win over the people of the world.

This twilight ancestor dragon has already seen his own death, and he is worried about the future of the empire.

And I sincerely wish that in the future, all the heroes in the world will work together, help each other, unite as one, support each other, and resist those abominable dark things hidden in the darkness that have been expelled outside the customs by themselves and are still evil and coveting the Middle Earth.

In his later years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also wanted to blame himself. Faced with the rise and fall of peasant rebels all over the world, he deeply reflected on the excessive killings during his reign and his harsh and brutal government.

Li Wenzhong never wanted to see the emperor who had ambitions of resurgence end up like this.

The Lord humiliates the minister and dies!If one day his lifelong belief collapses, how can he have the face to continue living in this world?

Listening to Li Wenzhong's words, several people in front of him were speechless.

Wang Yan glanced at Xie Zan, who was already pale with anger, and silently stepped back.

He would never want to see things come to this point.

He really didn't expect that there would actually be such a direct minister in the Ming court today. With his pure heart and no fear of life or death, he would stand up openly as a small censor of Nanjing and challenge all the forces in the Ming court without knowing it. The delicate balance maintained under the declaration.

This guy is really not afraid of death!
Wang Yan thought in his heart.

Looking at Li Wenzhong, there was a hint of awe in his eyes.

He could already think of waiting until the news reached Jinling and Beijing.

What a huge storm will be set off in the seemingly peaceful Ming Dynasty.

The whole room looked at the officials with different expressions, but without exception, they all maintained extreme silence at this time.

Li Wenzhong knew that he had already won most of the battle.

When he held his head high and said, "You don't need to chase me away, I will return to Nanjing and write to the emperor of tomorrow to express my gratitude to all ministers."

He passed through the crowds of people who separated in front of him and stood respectfully on both sides, feeling the awe-inspiring looks of the Ming officials on both sides. Li Wenzhong was already thinking when he arrived at the Jinluan Hall.

How should I clearly express my views in front of the emperor and refute the criticism and impeachment from the important officials in the northern capital.

He had no doubt of his victory.

As long as the southeast is still a tax-rich area for the imperial court, and as long as the Ming Dynasty's current situation is still "the world depends on the southeast for what it needs," the stability of the southeast is directly related to the survival of the entire empire.

Then his words will always be words of justice for the southeastern provinces that have suffered too many grievances.

Those people with lofty ideals in the world who are not willing to sit back and watch their compatriots kill each other will definitely gather around them.

He was so sure that when he walked out of the big tent, he took a deep breath.

The sound of firecrackers next to my ears seems to indicate that a new era is coming.

Not far away from Jinling City, the overwhelming color of colorful fireworks filled the sky.

The light made his heart bright and at ease.He walked over quickly, maybe he would stay in such a good mood for a long, long time——

Until a voice floated from his ears, it seemed so strangely clear amid the continuous sound of firecrackers that Li Wenzhong couldn't help but shudder.

Different art!

Li Wenzhong suddenly thought of it.

He looked around and was suddenly shocked that the surrounding environment was so unfamiliar.

The surrounding area is neither the bustling Jinling nor the chilling military town.

It is an endless, dark and deep cloud from the north with no end in sight.

There was a faint blue light flashing in his eyes, which was the shamanism technique passed down from generation to generation in his hometown for thousands of years.

This is the oldest and most profound incantation used by Chinese wizards to worship ghosts and gods and pray for the blessings of their ancestors in the barbaric era.

Among the people, it is also called ghost play.

But even though Li Wenzhong had tried hard to search for the person, he still couldn't find anything.

The voice had a sad tone. He was hidden in the darkness, looking at the compatriot in official robes in front of him who had become increasingly alienated from them, and said,

"My brothers from the south! Are you going to abandon us?"

"Abandon us rude northern men! Is it because our hands that have been touching swords all year round are no longer worthy of touching the silk and satin on your bodies?"

Li Wenzhong was still immersed in the astonishment of the visitor's strength and did not reply for a long time.

The voice continued, his words changing from pathos to calmness, with a hint of madness in the calmness.

"But don't forget! The reason why you can hide in the south, develop steadily, and enjoy wealth and prosperity! It's because our soldiers from the nine sides of the north guard the four sides and use their flesh and blood to block you from almost all the enemies coming from outside the Yumen Pass. Endless, ocean-like intrusion of evil spirits!"

"All the prosperity you can enjoy was fought for you bit by bit by our northern warriors from the mouths of foreigners and evil spirits with our flesh and blood and swords! This is the wealth and honor that we northerners bought for you with our flesh and blood and lives!"

"Under the iron heel of the Mongols in the north! In the endless mountains in the southwest! In the evil sea in the desert outside Yumen Pass! In the dark Liaodong jungle outside Shanhaiguan!"

The last words were like a roar, and the figure in the darkness did not hide the murderous intent in his tone.

"Now you are rich! You look down on us! You want to throw us away like a burden, like garbage! Go ahead and dream!"

"If you really dare to do this! The army from Jiubian will go south again, and this time, we will show no mercy! We will loot Nanjing, loot the southeast, and kill all the two-legged sheep in the south who dare to look directly into our eyes!"

Looking at the face of Li Wenzhong, who was getting increasingly angry as he listened to his words, the madness in his voice suddenly disappeared.

This was followed by maniacal laughter.

"The South! The powerless South! You can't abandon us! Just like you have tried to do countless times in history! Every time you abandon us, you will be punished and retaliated with the most terrible punishment-"

"We are one! We are one! No one can ever leave us in the north! No one—"

In the dark night, that voice suddenly disappeared into the night sky and into Li Wenzhong's ears, as if he had seen something terrible.

Although he didn't know what happened, Li Wenzhong still breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.

He looked around, and he didn't know when he had returned to the bright and silent military camp of the Eastern Expedition Army.

In front of him, a young face that he had only briefly seen once when he was worshiping Taizu at Xiaoling Mausoleum appeared in front of him.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"
