Under Wu Fen's extremely terrified eyes, Liu Xie swung his sword hard and completed his first kill since the unification of the country in the chaotic world.

One after another, the chefs and waiters at the banquet...

All those who had participated were quickly identified.

Liu Xie gave Jia Xu a look, and Jia Xu immediately turned into the darkness to deal with it.

The only ones left were the Jiangdong scholars who were now in a state of panic.

These scholars did not come from aristocratic families.

Their identities were civilians, clerks, and even merchants.

They thought that this banquet would be a chance for them to get close to the emperor and ascend to heaven in one step...

But now it seems that this is simply a huge pit!
The Emperor was assassinated...

How could they handle such a huge event? How could Jiangdong handle it?
Even if the emperor killed everyone present, he would still be right!

When they thought of the huge difference between before and after the banquet, many people burst into tears, thinking that their lives were in danger!

Hearing the sobbing, Liu Xie glanced at the crowd.

Just this one glance made many people's hearts freeze!
Zhang Xiu and other generals had already placed their hands on the hilts of their swords, ready to rush over and kill them on the spot at the emperor's command!

"I've said it before, everything is over."

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and I cannot blame the people of Jiangdong for these things... No matter what, you are all the people of the Han Dynasty. You don't have to cut off your entire palm just because you were stung by a wasp."

"From now on, calm down your mind and put your energy into your job."

"When the imperial examination comes next year, I hope that all of you Jiangdong scholars will achieve good results."

The emperor...won't blame me?

A group of Jiangdong scholars were pulled back from the underworld in an instant.

What was originally just a faint sobbing sound turned into loud crying!
"Thank you, Emperor!"

Liu Xie looked around and shook his head helplessly.

"Clean it up, it's a mess..."

"Don't waste too much time on Wu Fen's matter. The right thing to do is to sort out the land and household registration in Jiangdong as soon as possible and maintain stability in Jiangdong!"

"Here!"

Liu Xie wanted to leave, but when he saw the white dolphin, he suddenly felt a little sorry...

Sitting back down, Liu Xie took out a piece of food with his chopsticks and chewed it...

Ok……

It tastes terrible!!!
……

The emperor was assassinated!

This news instantly spread in all directions with Jinling as the center!

The court side.

Several generals who had just left were determined to leave behind the important matters in their hands and rush back to Nanjing.

Only after the emperor wrote a letter personally, asking them to just do their job, did they feel at ease.

At the same time, Jiangbei and Jingzhou...

All the officials who received the news were terrified and immediately sent letters to Nanjing.

Even Xun Yu and Niu Fu, who stayed behind in Chang'an, wrote a letter! Their words were full of urgency, asking the emperor to reply.

And all the people in Jiangdong who heard the news felt gloomy in their hearts!
Jiangdong is finished!

It must be over!

The people of Jiangdong were all dejected.

Assassinating the emperor...even a fool knows what the consequences will be!
If the emperor were to investigate, Jiangdong, which had finally shown signs of stability, would be in great danger... However, the central government soon stepped forward to dispel the rumors.

Those Jiangdong scholars who attended the banquet also tried their best to tell the people of Jiangdong the truth of that day.

The truth and lies were gradually pieced together, and finally gradually became a widely circulated version -

"That day! Although the emperor was attacked, Shangshu Zhong Yao stepped forward and blocked the sword for the emperor!"

"Then the emperor angrily killed Wu Fen! He shouted: "You can hurt me! But you can't hurt Yuan Chang!" And the Minister of the Central Secretariat Jia Xu and the State Pillar Zhang Xiu also asked the emperor to turn Jiangdong into a wasteland afterwards!"

"But the emperor said: "Just execute the main culprit! How can we implicate the people of Jiangdong?" Then he calmly sat down and continued the banquet!"

……

What is a British ruler?
What is the Holy Son of Heaven?

The people of Jiangdong all sang praises to him and were extremely friendly to the court!

Even the most annoying officials in the eyes of the people can get along harmoniously with them as long as they raise the flag of the Han Dynasty, without any resistance at all!
And the absence of resistance means high administrative efficiency!
In just one month, some major counties had completed equal distribution of land!

The people who got the land became more friendly with the imperial court... Suddenly, the foundation that Sun Quan and the Jiangdong family had built up for several years was almost shattered!
……

"Wu Hou, is there anything else to say?"

Treasure Island.

After Wei Wen learned that the emperor had been assassinated, he became extremely anxious.

He wanted to alert the emperor immediately, but soon learned the whole cause and effect of the incident.

"Now you should know how stupid your and Gu Yong's final plan was, right?"

In fact, before the news came, Wei Wen was really a little frightened.

If Sun Quan and Gu Yong really succeeded! If they really stabbed the emperor to death in Jiangdong... then Wei Wen would not know what to do!
After hearing about the assassination, Wei Wen sighed: "It was so close! It was just a little bit short!"

"Wu Hou, do you think there is something wrong with Jiangdong's Feng Shui? Why is it always just a little off?"

At this time, Sun Quan was sitting in a prison car with disheveled hair.

The severed finger had been bandaged, but blood was still oozing out.

Sun Quan stared at his palm blankly.

However, Wei Wen's words still made him shake his head.

"Once is luck, twice is luck, three or four times is not luck anymore."

"Wei Wen, I actually never believe in any prophecies."

"If destiny really exists, then the destiny of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others is much stronger than mine."

Sun Quan sighed and said, "Although I was not there at the time, I can guess a little bit about how dangerous the scene was."

"But in such a dangerous situation, there are still people like Zhong Yao who are willing to take the knife for the emperor... Ha! Even if there is no Zhong Yao, there will be people like Jia Xu and Xun You who are willing to take the knife for the emperor."

"With this layer of armor on his body, no matter how skilled the assassin is or how sharp the sword is, I'm afraid they won't be able to hurt him at all."

Wei Wen raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Marquis Wu can now understand these principles?"

"Ah."

Sun Quan laughed.

"Wei Wen, you and I are both people who came from troubled times... Even if you were born in a noble family and in the relatively stable Jiangdong, you should also understand that sometimes knowing is one thing, and whether to do it is another."

Sun Quan seemed to have realized that his death was approaching, so he was somewhat talkative and wanted to talk more with people.

"And judging from the Emperor's subsequent performance, it's clear that I didn't deserve to lose to him!"

"Even after being assassinated, he was still so generous to the people of Jiangdong and changed Moling to Jinling... Such a broad mind is rarely seen even in history books."

"What's more, he is the emperor..." (End of this chapter)
