Chapter 201 You still have to thank me (please give me a monthly ticket! Please subscribe!)
As the sun sets, the sky gradually darkens. A crescent moon has appeared between the clouds, but it exudes a gloomy and desolate feeling, without any vitality.

Emperor Chu Jiang Ren walked out of the council hall and rubbed his temples.

Although he had handed over most of the government affairs to the cabinet ministers, some important matters still required him, the emperor, to make the final decision, and his ministers were not allowed to interfere.

Especially in this special period, because all the bloodlines of the Zhao family have died out, the Liyang Dynasty is now in name only. As a result, the many cities and lands previously conquered by Xu Xiao have become ownerless. If we don't strike while the iron is hot and send a large army to occupy them, sooner or later they will benefit the remnants of the five extinct countries.

The opportunity must not be missed and a decision must be made early. Otherwise, even if the State of Chu can eventually become the master of the Central Plains, the price and time to be paid will be immeasurable.

"Ugh……"

Thinking of the endless chatter of those ministers before, Jiang Ren felt his head was still buzzing. He was really overwhelmed. But he knew in his heart that every word those ministers said made sense, so he had to listen patiently.

In fact, in his opinion, these ministers were really thinking too much. Being the lord of the Central Plains was good, but the prerequisite was that one had to be alive to do it. And if the matter of the mad martial demon was not resolved, even if Western Chu could conquer the Northern Mang grassland, it would all be in vain. Why bother with so much seriousness?
Instead of racking your brains for fame and fortune, it is better to enjoy life in time and live in the present, so that your life will not be in vain.

As the saying goes, once you have the thought of giving up, you will suddenly feel that the world is wide open.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ren's mood immediately improved a lot. At the same time, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind, and he conceived a wonderful chess game. He decided to call Cao Aiqing to play chess with him tomorrow. He would definitely amaze him and feel that he was not as good as him.

Just at this moment, a cold wind blew towards him, and Jiang Ren couldn't help but lower his head and sneeze.

Seeing this, the old eunuch who was serving him closely came forward and put a fox fur cloak on Jiang Ren. He asked softly, "Your Majesty, are you going to rest with Concubine Jing tonight?"

Concubine Jing is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites. She just entered the palace last year. Although her appearance and figure are far inferior to those of the Queen, she is also a beauty picked out of thousands. She is especially good at calligraphy and painting. Her painting skills have the style of a master and she is deeply loved by Jiang Ren.

Jiang Ren thought about it and was about to answer, but the peerless beauty of Jun Pianxian emerged in his mind. His heart was slightly moved, so he changed his words and said, "Go to Weiyang Palace."

The old eunuch was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and called for a sedan chair. Jiang Ren sat on it naturally, and then, surrounded by a group of eunuchs, palace maids, and master guards, he headed towards the Weiyang Palace.

At the front of the team, four tall and thin eunuchs, all of whom had reached the level of second-grade junior grandmaster, were carrying lanterns to illuminate the road.

Unlike the splendor during the day, as the sky gradually darkened, the atmosphere in this deep palace became increasingly quiet. However, the distances between palaces were extremely large, and it often took half an hour to go back and forth. If one walked alone, one would inexplicably feel a chill in the heart.

Jiang Ren had long been accustomed to this feeling, so he didn't care too much and closed his eyes to take a nap while sitting in the sedan chair.

But suddenly, he felt the sedan chair under him suddenly stop, and he almost fell out. He finally managed to steady himself and was about to scold.

But the next second, the pupils of his open eyes suddenly shrank and he looked somewhere in front of him.

On the familiar palace road, a blurry figure was walking towards him from afar. When he saw the emperor's sedan chair, he showed no intention of hiding. It was obvious that he was not a person from the palace.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on the other person, illuminating a pale color like snow, while the dark shadow under his feet stretched infinitely, like a huge mountain pressing straight towards Jiang Ren.

assassin?

Jiang Ren's heart skipped a beat, as if he had thought of a possibility. A sense of foreboding suddenly surged over him like a tide. "Help! Help! Help!"

Regardless of the emperor's majesty, Jiang Ren began to shout loudly, trying to attract the imperial guards distributed around the imperial city. However, after a long time, he did not receive any response, which made him feel half heartbroken.

And a few seconds later, the remaining half also died.

It was because Jiang Ren finally discovered that the eunuchs who were responsible for carrying his sedan chair, as well as the palace maids and guards around him, seemed to have all turned into clay puppets, standing there motionless. No matter how Jiang Ren ordered or scolded them, they did not move at all, as if they were asleep.

"Shut up, it's so noisy."

An indifferent voice sounded, and then an invisible energy descended from the sky and locked onto Jiang Ren.

The terrifying feeling of oppression made him unable to move or make any sound. He could only look forward with trembling eyes and a look of horror.

At this time, the figure in the darkness had come closer, revealing a young and handsome face. Who else could it be but Wu Xian?

In fact, after arriving in the imperial city at noon, he had been staying in the Weiyang Palace, which was the bedroom of the Queen of Western Chu. What he did specifically cannot be elaborated, but in short, it is certain that he could not pass the trial.

Not long ago, he noticed someone approaching the Weiyang Palace, and he finally remembered the real purpose of his trip. He said to himself, "Wine and sex have misled me, I will quit drinking from now on," and then he made room to come here, and the current scene happened.

Wu Xian stopped in front of the sedan chair, looked up at the Western Chu Emperor, and his expression gradually became strange, as if Huangmao saw the victim in person and was somewhat embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I don't intend to hurt you. I just want you to be more obedient."

"Also, your queen is very good, but you two are not suitable, so I took her away. In exchange, I will give you the title of the greatest emperor of all time. You won't be at a disadvantage, and you may even thank me in the future."

Wu Xian spoke softly, raised his palm and covered Jiang Ren's head, and a blue light quietly bloomed.

……

The next day, Jiang Ren, who had been hiding in the harem for more than half a month, attended the morning court for a rare occasion. He summoned all the ministers to discuss matters and conferred the title of "King of Langya" on General Ye Baikui on the spot. He ordered him to lead an army of 200,000 Western Chu troops to recover the lost territories of Chu and take over the undefended Liyang territory, so as to complete the great cause of unifying the Central Plains as soon as possible.

At the same time, Jiang Ren ignored the opposition and promoted Cao Changqing, the chess attendant, to the sixth rank, entered the cabinet, and became the Minister of Revenue. He was given full authority to allocate all the food, fodder, and weapons needed for the war, and was given the title of Prince's Tutor. He was extremely honored and favored, and was in the limelight for a time.

The last and most outrageous decree was that Jiang Ren wanted to confer the title of National Master of Chu on the number one person in the world and offer him the honorific title of "Yuanshi Daluotian".

When this letter was issued, the ministers of Chu State either remained silent or strongly opposed it and argued endlessly.

However, when he went to court again the next day, all the voices of opposition disappeared, and all the ministers praised and kowtowed to the imperial teacher.

Since then, the name of Wu Xian, "Yuanshi Daluotian", has spread throughout the world.
