As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 171 Should I call you Big Brother? Or Your Majesty?
Hearing Ye Wuzui's question, Mingchen smiled and pointed to the palace rising from the earth in front of him. He said, "Brother Ye, please inform your Emperor Qi. Does he still remember that scoundrel Qingchi from Qingzhou?"

Ye Wuzui was immediately shocked and his eyes widened: "What?!"

He actually came to see their leader? !
Liu Wang? Wang Liu! That's a sick ghost!

If he knew Wang Liu, then he would know Wang Huai.

"who are you?!"

This younger brother, whom I thought I was somewhat familiar with after spending a few days with him, seemed to have become a little unfamiliar.

He subconsciously asked Mingchen urgently.

Mingchen bowed to him and said, "My name is Mingchen. I don't give my real name when I go out. I hope Brother Ye will forgive me."

"Mingchen..."

Mingchen?

Ye Wuzui frowned, feeling that the name sounded very familiar.

The next moment his eyes narrowed: "Are you Mingchen?!"

Ordinary people may not know this name, but Ye Wuzui, as a superior, still knows it.

"There are many Mingchen in the world, but the one Brother Ye knows... is probably me."

Ye Wuzui looked at him deeply.

They had been calling each other brothers for the past two days, but now, under the impact, they felt a little estranged.

"it is good!"

……

"Big brother!"

Ye Wuzui walked quickly into the conference room.

Sure enough, a middle-aged man dressed in blood-red brocade, with a strong body and a full forehead was sitting there. He was not handling government affairs, but reading a book.

People's vision is limited. What he should do now is not to deal with political affairs, but to study!

"kindness?"

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted, Wang Huai's eyes flashed and he looked outside the door.

His eyes were long and narrow, and his gaze was sharp. Just one look from him made one feel uncomfortable all over.

Even Ye Wuzui, who broke in, couldn't help but pause.

"Kaifeng, I've told you so many times, please curb your chivalrous attitude."

"No rules no standards!"

Mingchen was not wrong.

This 'Brother Ye' is none other than the drunkard Ye Kaifeng, one of the Nine Ghosts, also known as Ye Wuzui, who is in charge of supervision.

It was called supervision, but in reality the new dynasty was just established and the system was not perfect, so there was nothing to supervise.

Ye Kaifeng is very idle and doesn't want to stay in Xiaoyao City. He usually likes to travel around and be a ranger, using the name Ye Wuzui.

Wang Huai's face was calm. He had already proclaimed himself emperor, and dressed in a blood-stained dragon robe, he exuded a majestic aura as he stood there: "We have established a country, so there must be rules."

Rebels are rebels, and the country is the country.

These are two completely different concepts.

Since the founding of the country, various problems and affairs have followed one after another.

Wang Huai was also somewhat incapable of doing so.

He himself couldn't handle the transition from rebel leader to emperor.

"Forehead……"

Ye Kaifeng was a brother who joined Wang Huai in the uprising very early on, so his loyalty can be guaranteed.

He paused, then bowed to Wang Huai and said, "I am rude, Your Majesty. I hope you will forgive me."

There was something awkward between the two of them.

Wang Huai opened his mouth and finally sighed, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, there is a scholar named Mingchen who wishes to see you."

"He asked me to tell you if you still remember the Qingzhou Qingchi..."

"What?!!"

Before Ye Kaifeng could finish his words, Wang Huai's eyes widened. He took a few steps forward and grabbed Ye Kaifeng's shoulders. "Kaifeng, tell me, who is it?!"

He has been learning the art of being an emperor for some time, at least to remain calm at all times and not let others guess his thoughts.

But at this moment, he broke the attack and looked at Ye Kaifeng with excitement, as if he had seen a god.

Did Mingchen... really know Your Majesty?

There aren't many people in the world who can make Big Brother look like this.

"Mingchen."

"Quick! Let him in, now!"

At this time, Wang Huai's face flushed red, and he smiled unconsciously despite his excitement. He spoke to Ye Kaifeng in a hurry.

The second brother sent a message saying that Chen's attitude was ambiguous and he had no intention of joining the Bloody Gang.

Did he change his mind because of the civil unrest in Qianyuan?

"Um...As you wish."

Rumor has it that Mingchen caused the two emperors to fight each other, and now his elder brother is included in the list.

That’s three.

Is this Mingchen really so magical?

Thinking of this young brother whom he had spent two days with, Ye Kaifeng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Why do monarchs flock to it?

If you get this person, can you get the world?

……

Mingchen didn't have to wait long before Ye Kaifeng, in place of the messenger, personally led him into the palace.

Compared with the dynasties of Qianyuan and Beilie that have accumulated a lot of history, Wang Huai’s palace... is more like a modified governor’s mansion, which looks a bit simple.

The area was not very large, and it didn't take long before we arrived at where Wang Huai was.

"Hey, long time no see!"

Judging from facial features alone, Wang Huai actually looks more oppressive than Xiao Yu.

He has a majestic temperament and a tall stature. He is an emperor who rose from the grassroots and fought his way to become one.

But what can I do... Mingchen knew him seven years ago, when he was still a poor beggar.

So when they met, Mingchen didn't feel nervous at all.

It's even worse than meeting people like Xiao Yu and Xiao Zhengyang.

As he stepped through the door, he immediately saw the king in blood-stained clothes. Compared to their first encounter, this man had changed a lot. He smiled at Wang Huai and said, "Brother Wang, should I call you Brother? Or should I call you Your Majesty?"

"Big brother! I'd rather be the big brother. Big brother is better and closer!"

Seven years passed in a flash, and the smart and insightful child at that time has grown into a handsome young man.

Only the iconic white bird has not changed, still standing on his shoulder.

Wang Huai stared at Mingchen blankly, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Ye Kaifeng: ...

This gap is somewhat heartbreaking.

"Kaifeng, tell everyone on guard outside to leave!"

"Bring some wine and fruit."

Wang Huai waved towards Ye Kaifeng, then pulled Mingchen towards the table: "Come, brother, sit with me and talk!"

Although he became the emperor, Wang Huai did not forget his gratitude and did not put on airs towards Mingchen.

There is a twenty-year age difference between them, but they treat each other as peers.

In this world, only Mingchen is worthy of Wang Huai's sincerity.

No one knew that the Blood-Clothed Army had launched a massive uprising, and the reason for all this was something a child had casually sketched out after dinner seven years ago.

He pulled Mingchen to sit down and asked, "Brother, how are you these days?"

"I heard that you had betrayed Yueyang, and I was a little worried about your safety. Now that I see that you are safe, I can rest assured."

The Nine Blood-Clothed Ghosts are the core leadership team of the Blood-Clothed Army and are like brothers.

That's why Ye Kaifeng calls Wang Huai "Big Brother".

But in Wang Huai's heart, his younger brother Wang Liu and Ming Chen, the "arrogant ghost" who has not yet been promoted, should be kept apart from others.

After all, it was this younger brother who, when he was a beggar with nothing, used a branch to draw on the ground, marking the beginning of his future ambitions.

The Blood-Clothed Army grew in strength step by step, all in accordance with his plan and layout.

In a sense, Mingchen is his white moonlight.

Otherwise he would not have been able to say that the two kings jointly rule the world.

Without Mingchen's help, he would have starved to death on the street long ago, let alone become the current powerful Emperor Qi.

"Thank you for your concern, brother. Chen has been doing well."

The two met again after a long separation. They did not talk about state affairs or the purpose of their visit, but first asked about each other's recent situation, which was quite sincere.

After being treated with false courtesy for so long, I am no longer sure about true feelings.

Mingchen didn't know how much his brother had changed in the seven years he hadn't seen him.

Anyway, this dress is luxurious and makes the person look more majestic.

【Blood Demons Ruin the Country】

[Rise up in rebellion, destroy the dynasty, occupy Kyoto]

However, nothing about him changed.

In a sense, this is also one of the reasons why Mingchen wants to take Xiao Xinyue away from Beijing.

"That's good, that's good... No matter what, life is the most important thing."

"How are you these days, brother?"

"To split the land and be crowned a king is a glorious achievement!"

Mingchen raised his eyebrows and said to Wang Huai.

"Forehead……"

This younger brother has always been sharp-tongued.

The child grew into a young man, but he remained unchanged when facing this hero in troubled times.

I don’t know if it was Wang Huai’s illusion, but I always felt that there was a hint of sarcasm in what this person said.

Wang Huai shook his head: "What you call a glorious life is nothing more than shouldering responsibilities and being praised by others."

Mingchen smiled and said, "Brother is a hero, there is no doubt about that."

Wang Huai's starting point was too low, and the route planned by Mingchen was just an imaginary route.

It is extremely difficult to implement, several times more difficult than Xiao Xinyue's.

But he really succeeded.

Without passion, desperate courage, and a crucial opportunity, it would be impossible to do it.

No matter how uncertain the future is, his name will be remembered in this era.

The merits and demerits of the blood-stained leader who launched the revolutionary movement will be left to future generations to judge.

"I am a hero?"

"Hahahaha~"

Mingchen's words were considered as recognition. Wang Huai was quite happy. He couldn't help but laugh heartily and asked Mingchen, "What is brother?"

"I?"

Mingchen thought for a moment and said, "I'm a speculator!"

"Speculation?"

Taking shortcuts?

Wang Huai thought about it and realized that this was indeed the man's character.

He always chooses the easy way to solve a problem, no matter what the method.

"So Mingchen is here for speculation?"

He has no objection to cutting corners.

In a sense, he even expected Mingchen to come for speculation.

That also proves in reverse that he is the one with the opportunity, right?

He looked at Mingchen with burning eyes and asked, "Brother Liu has already told you my sincerity, right?"

"Brother, are you coming to me?"

The plan Mingchen gave him seven years ago actually only ended here, until the Blood-Clothed Army occupied the five southern states.

Dividing the land and becoming a king were not part of Mingchen's plan.

So the Blood-Cloth Army's progress to this point has exceeded Mingchen's expectations, and he is a little confused.

Now that he has become the emperor, affairs are even more complicated and problems continue to arise.

He also particularly missed Mingchen, his younger brother who guided him to success.

He believed that with Mingchen's help, he would be able to sort out all the chaos, get back on track, and dominate the world.
