Immortal emperor reborn mixed city

Chapter 2158 The man has gold under his knees!

The Eighteenth King wanted to slander Su Yan and put him to death, but he never thought that he would end up compensating his wife, defeating his troops, and killing his own son. Not only would he himself also end up being beheaded in the near future.

This is a big deal. If he does something slanderous or slanderous, even if he is the Eighteenth King or Prince Zuo, there will be no room for relaxation.

The Eighteenth King is completely dead.

At the same time, Liu Xun was also stripped of his official title and demoted to the rank of Duke, and the Xuancheng Empire no longer had kings with different surnames.

The Xuancheng Empire was founded more than a thousand years ago. It was the emperor who led the eighteen princes to conquer the world. The eighteen princes divided various regions and became famous leaders of the great religions. They did not need to be crowned kings.

This was also the emperor's strategy at the time. The eighteen princes did not need to be crowned kings, so their power would not be dispersed and their political power would be absolutely consolidated.

However, later on, the empire experienced wars every year, and more capable people and strangers emerged. In order to appease and encourage them, kings with different surnames were enfeoffed, but their power was relatively weak.

Until now, these kings with different surnames have basically been killed or demoted, and none of them has a good destiny.

Liu Xun was demoted to Duke, which was actually a very good result.

After everything was settled, many people felt relieved. This morning meeting was more exciting than before, and everyone watched a good show.

However, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew that the drama was not over yet, because the main role of the drama, Su Yan, had not yet been dealt with.

The emperor didn't seem to be in a hurry. He sat on the dragon throne and looked at the civil and military ministers calmly.

"Dear ladies, I'll ask you again if I have anything to report!"

The sound spread in all directions and lingered for a long time.

A third-grade border general stood up, knelt down and said: "To the emperor, the border areas of the city have been quite turbulent recently, and rogue bandits frequently harm the people on the border."

The emperor said angrily: "Why don't you suppress it quickly!"

The face of the border general suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said: "Emperor, when I returned, I had already ordered my subordinates to lead ten thousand cavalry to suppress it."

The emperor then calmed down. Ten thousand cavalry didn't seem to be a big deal.

You must know that the Xuancheng Empire has a vast territory, and each territory is larger than the earth.

When rogue bandits break out, it is a war involving tens of millions of people.

"Reporting to the Emperor, please let me know if you have any questions!"

A first-class official in civilian attire stood up and knelt on the ground, very respectfully.

"explain."

"Emperor, I am responsible for the imperial city's taxation. It has only been eight months, and the tax amount has already achieved the target set last year. This year is expected to achieve an 80% increase."

The emperor did not laugh, but said seriously: "How do the people react?"

"After reporting to the emperor, the people did not resist. On the contrary, many were willing to pay taxes, and merchants were also willing to pay taxes."

"It seems like the weather is going well this year, and the country and the people are in peace?!"

Many people shouted in unison: "My emperor is wise."

A faint smile appeared on the emperor's face. This was indeed something he was happy about. Isn't that his wish for the country to prosper?

The first-grade soldier also stood up, looked at the emperor and said, "I would like to inform the emperor that the sergeant's armor and equipment will be completed ahead of schedule this year."

"Not bad." The emperor was even happier.

"Emperor, I have something that I don't know whether to say or not." Hanlin University Scholar said.

"Say." The emperor was happy, and the pressure of his voice was reduced a lot.

"Emperor, in the land of the Imperial City, all indicators are rising steadily, but the tribute from the eighteen regions has shrunk by more than half compared to last year."

The emperor's face condensed and he asked: "Is it possible that the recent bad times in the Eighteen Regions have not been favorable?"

"That's not the case." Hanlin University Scholar said bravely.

"Why is that?!"

The emperor's voice became low, with an oppressive force.

"It's...it's hard for me to say this."

Prince Zuo on the side saw this, walked out, looked at the emperor and said: "Emperor, I think it's getting late today. I have to go to Huangling in the back mountain to pay tribute to my mother, so I'll retreat from the court."

The emperor was displeased and waved his hand: "Let Grand Scholar Han Lin finish."

Hanlin University Scholar was already covered in sweat and already soaked to the skin.

At this moment, he seemed to have made a firm decision and risked his life.

"Emperor, I tell you the truth."

"In the eighteen regions, except for the government region due to some reasons, the tribute of the other seventeen regions has been reduced by half. However, the seventeen regions have had good weather this year, so it stands to reason that the output value should increase."

The emperor's eyes gradually turned cold, he looked at the Hanlin University scholar and said, "Do you really mean what you said?!"

"Every word is true!" How dare Hanlin University deceive the emperor?

"That's why!"

The emperor's sense of oppression has increased sharply. The entire hall is under his oppressive power, and many people's faces are a little pale.

The Hanlin University Scholar said at this moment: "Emperor, it is clear that the Seventeen Regions do not want to pay tribute and have selfish motives!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and some were even so frightened that they almost fell to the ground.

Even the left prince and the right prince's expressions changed drastically and they stood up one after another.

"Emperor, I also think it's getting late. Let's withdraw from the court. We'll discuss it tomorrow."

The emperor ignored it at all, looked at Hanlin University Scholar, and said sternly: "Do you have any evidence for what you said?"

"The evidence is obvious. You can see it just by going to various areas."

boom!

A violent sound shook the entire hall, and a crack appeared on the ground in front of the emperor.

The Emperor was angry, really angry, because this was unforgivable.

The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were helpless. The princes on the left and right were unable to persuade him, so they were even more useless.

The emperor was furious, his eyes flashed with golden light, and he stared at the civil and military officials of the court.

"It's such a big deal, why are you telling me now?"

The emperor wanted to kill the Hanlin University Scholar, but then he thought, if it weren't for the Hanlin University Scholar, he might not even know about it now.

"Whoever dares to touch a hair of Hanlin University from now on will do it to me!"

As soon as the emperor's words came out, everyone was shocked again, and everyone looked frightened.

This is absolute domination, a stage for one person, and the emperor has the final say.

Hanlin University Scholar also regained his composure at this moment, and his heartbeat just now was at least several times higher than it is now.

"Prince Zuo, I will send you to find out the truth about this matter. You must report to me in five days!"

Prince Zuo immediately knelt down and said: "My emperor's mission must be completed!"

After this matter was resolved, no one raised any big issues.

The emperor then looked at Su Yan, who had been standing aside.

"Su Yan, do you know your guilt?"

The emperor roared angrily, and the nine dragons roared, not far away from Su Yan.

Su Yan showed no fear at all, his face was calm, and he welcomed the emperor's anger.

The group of people behind him had already retreated. They could not bear this kind of fluctuation.

Su Yan looked at the emperor, his eyes fluctuating, revealing a profound meaning.

The emperor was just interested in Su Yan's eyes, and he always felt that Su Yan was just a child's countless copies.

Facing Su Yan's gaze, the emperor didn't even blink for a moment and kept glaring at Su Yan.

"What's the crime?"

"Why are you so guilty? Don't you know it yourself?"

The emperor was furious, with murderous intent on his face.

Prince Right stood up at this moment, looked at Su Yan and said angrily: "Do you think you can be arrogant because you are the number one in martial arts?!"

"This is the Imperial Palace, and the one on the dragon chair is the Emperor. Kneel down quickly, and the Emperor will be magnanimous!"

The right prince is helping Su Yan. Although Su Yan won the battle with Qilin, Su Yan is indeed a good prospect and a rare genius, even rare to see in a thousand years.

If it is used well, it will be a blessing for the Xuancheng Empire.

Of course the emperor also knew this. Otherwise, he would have had Su Yan dragged out and beheaded long ago. How could he have wasted time like this, deliberately dragging him out and asking questions at the end?

The emperor also looked at Su Yan without saying a word. He was waiting for Su Yan's attitude.

However, the emperor was disappointed.

All civil and military officials in the dynasty couldn't understand why Su Yan didn't kneel down. Was it because the man had gold under his knees?

The right prince is at his wits end. Su Yan wants to die, but he can't bring him back.

"What a strong man!"

The emperor was extremely angry and smiled, looking at Su Yan whose murderous intention had not dissipated.

Su Yan knew very well that if this murderous intention came, he would be unable to resist it.

However, Su Yan didn't have the slightest fear and still looked at the emperor without any signs of weakness.

"I am not from the Xuancheng Empire, why should I kneel down!"

As soon as these words came out, many people were shocked, and some even stood up directly.

"Emperor, we cannot allow these evildoers to stay!"

"Such contempt for you deserves the death penalty!"

"I think it's better to go to the heavenly prison and keep company with the eighteen kings."

Many officials spoke fiercely and pointed their fingers at Su Yan.

But Su Yan remained calm, as if nothing was wrong.

The emperor looked at Su Yan, a dragon shadow emerged behind him, and murderous intent shrouded the sky above Su Yan.

"Tell me where you are from!"

Su Yan said calmly: "I am from the lower world."

As soon as these words came out, many people were shocked again and looked in disbelief.

"Nonsense!" the household official roared, thinking that Su Yan couldn't tell lies.

"How can the lower world, a land of ants, produce talented people!" The senior officer of the Ministry of War was also furious. He wanted to kill Su Yan directly.

Prince Zuo looked at Su Yan with a cold expression.

"You said you are from the lower world, who can prove it!"

"The Xuanji Sect and even those who have ascended can prove it."

Prince Right, who had been silent until now, stood up. Although he was unwilling to do so, he still said: "Emperor, Su Yan is indeed from the lower world."

After Su Yan won the first place in martial arts, Prince Right sent someone to investigate and found out that Su Yan's identity was indeed from a lower world.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the civil and military officials in the court suddenly changed, as if they had eggs stuffed into their mouths, and they were extremely surprised.

He really came from the lower world, and a monster that defies heaven appeared in the land of ants?!

Many people think so in their hearts, and their faces are a little burning.

They are a land of ants, but Su Yan, who is a land of ants, is the genius who defeated them in the eighteen regions of the Xuancheng Empire.

He also defeated Zhan Qilin, Princess Hatsune and even the Eighth Prince!

With such power and talent, who can ridicule his origins.

Coming from the lower world, to be precise, Su Yan is indeed not a subject of the Xuancheng Empire.

There was no need for him to kneel before the emperor.

In the past, envoys from various countries basically had to kneel down when they came to court, but envoys from some countries did not kneel down because, like the Xuancheng Empire, kneeling down was a sign of weakness.

But Su Yan was alone, so there was nothing wrong with asking him to kneel down and worship.

"You are from the lower world, but when you face the emperor of my upper world, you should kneel down and worship me!"

"There is gold under the man's knees. I will not kneel down in heaven or on earth, so how can I kneel down here?" Su Yan sneered, "If you, Emperor, are dissatisfied with me, I can leave now."

As soon as the words came out, the entire hall was enveloped by a formation, which was very terrifying and was obviously intended to trap Su Yan in it.

The purpose is very simple. How can the emperor let Su Yan leave?

If this went to other empires, wouldn't it be a loss to the Xuancheng Empire?

At this moment of stalemate, if Su Yan does not kneel down, then the emperor will lose face.

It seemed impossible to make Su Yan kneel down.

The scene was completely deadlocked.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs didn't dare to say a word, and no one dared to talk to each other at this moment, unless they no longer wanted to live.

Everyone wisely chose to shut up. It was best not to get involved in this matter. It was best to just be a bystander.

A solution must be found, which would not only make the emperor look good, but also keep Su Yan.

The emperor did not want to kill Su Yan unless it was absolutely necessary.

His mind was also spinning rapidly at this moment, trying to think of ways to deal with it.

He knows that geniuses are very arrogant. He was not the same back then, facing powerful people and seniors who were stronger than himself.

He also had a lot of energy back then, but he wasn't as strong as Su Yan.

When he met the Emperor, he also knelt down, although he was extremely reluctant, even though the Emperor was killed by his own hands three months later.

The right prince is also thinking at this moment, including the left prince, everyone is thinking.

Only Su Yan didn't think about it, there was no need to think about it.

It is impossible to kneel down, and it is already very good to be able to stay here.

He knew that any result would be nothing more than silence.

Su Yan took half a step into the golden elixir. When he entered the palace, he had already refined an escape talisman!

This is his back-up, the reason why he dares to be so proud, and it is also his only way to escape.

This earth-escape talisman is naturally extraordinary. Not to mention the seventh-level formation, even the eighth-level formation can't stop him!

That's why Su Yan was so calm and relaxed, so I'll just say goodbye.

The only thing that made him uneasy at the moment was that he was afraid that the Emperor was too thoughtful and cunning.

Because Xiao Meng and others did not follow him and were still waiting at the inn.

You shouldn't leave them in the inn in the morning and put them in the ghost gourd. When there are changes, you can leave directly.

Su Yan is also waiting for the emperor's decision. He also wants to see what kind of emperor this emperor is.

Is it love of talent, cruelty, or incompetence?

From the current point of view, this emperor should be fond of talents, after all, he has not touched a hair for so long.

At the same time, this emperor also gave Su Yan another feeling, violent, cold and cruel, like a smiling tiger.

He kills people without blinking an eye and doesn't give you the slightest time to react.

After a long time, the emperor finally made a decision, and his eyes became calm, which meant that the most dangerous moment was coming.

He will never lose his own face, so there is only one result. What he can’t get, others can’t even imagine!
