Chapter 216 Your Majesty, Your Loyal Bianjing Awaits Your Command
Chapter 216 Your Majesty, Your Loyal Bianjing Awaits Your Command
Murong Fu looked at Tong Guan, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, from afar.
The latter's mind went blank for a moment.
"He killed the ancestor?"
"Murong Fu killed the patriarch?"
"He looked at me... Am I going to die?"
Then Tong Guan's knees buckled, and he knelt down, shouting loudly:
"We respectfully welcome Your Majesty's victorious return, having slain the old eunuch Sunflower, and ascended the throne as the people have long awaited. We, your subjects, are overjoyed and weep with gratitude."
Long live the Emperor!
The quick-witted guard leader behind him immediately knelt down and gestured for the officers and soldiers behind him to kneel down as well, swearing their loyalty.
All the soldiers present witnessed Murong Fu's extraordinary power. Now that Tong Guan and the leading captain had knelt down, these Imperial Guards, who had little ambition to begin with, naturally followed suit and knelt down, shouting slogans of loyalty.
Murong Fu naturally noticed the commotion and, gliding through the air, stepped in front of Tong Guan.
Tong Guan was kowtowing, but sensing that Murong Fu was about to arrive, he was filled with fear and unease, wondering how the other party would deal with him.
According to the available information, Murong Fu was not a bloodthirsty person. The number of people he killed over the years was less than the number he killed in a single month.
Moreover, the spies had recorded and investigated Murong Fu's behavior when he went out over the past few years. Tong Guan felt that as long as he offered his loyalty and cleared his name, he might be able to escape this calamity.
As he pondered, he saw a pair of blood-stained, dark blue boots on the ground in front of him.
"Stand up and speak."
Upon hearing Murong Fu's calm and ruthless voice, Tong Guan rose tremblingly and said:
"Whatever Your Majesty commands, I will serve you with utmost loyalty."
Murong Fu looked at the famous eunuch before him. He had thick black hair, dignified features, and although his face held a fawning expression, it wasn't unpleasant.
It was actually quite comfortable.
He nodded inwardly, thinking to himself, "This famous eunuch is indeed different." He then said, "His mind works very quickly."
But aren't you eunuchs supposed to be loyal to the royal family? How could you betray us so easily?
Tong Guan said with great righteousness, "From ancient times to the present, the throne has always been held by the virtuous."
The founding emperor of this dynasty swept across the Central Plains, restoring order to a previously chaotic situation; this was undoubtedly a great act of virtue.
In this dynasty, the emperor was incompetent and recklessly waged war. Corrupt officials held sway, wicked people ran rampant, and the people suffered terribly...
Naturally, he was extremely immoral, so Heaven punished him by causing him to fall seriously ill and die suddenly.
On his deathbed, he entrusted the country and its people to the most virtuous young master Murong.
Your Majesty, you are chosen by Heaven and are the people's hope.
As he spoke, Tong Guan waved his hands behind his back.
The generals behind immediately understood and shouted, "It is the mandate of heaven! It is the will of the people!"
The soldiers behind them were also stirred up, and after a brief commotion, they immediately shouted in unison:
"It is the mandate of heaven! It is the will of the people!"
The core technology of this group of imperial guards belongs to...
Upon seeing this, Murong Fu smiled faintly. No wonder emperors liked eunuchs and treacherous officials; Tong Guan, one of the "Six Traitors," was also good at flattery.
He came here because he knew Zhao Xu was targeting him, so he had to resolve the matter.
But now that he has killed thousands of imperial guards, Zhao Xu, and the Sunflower Ancestor, Murong Fu heard the titles of Tong Guan and others and began to ponder his future plans.
Although the Liao Kingdom is now under his control, and Aguda is his brother, he is fighting against the Mongols.
Neither the Liao nor the Jin will advance south, but now that Zhao Xu is dead, who will succeed him?
Zhao Gu, Zhao Gou?
Do not make jokes.
Murong Fu remembered that in his previous life he had read many novels in which the protagonists, after gaining control of the country, did not become emperors, but instead became retired emperors behind the scenes.
Murong Fu could understand to some extent. After all, once you become emperor, the responsibility falls on your shoulders. Many people only want power and don't want to take responsibility, so they choose to be the retired emperor behind the scenes.
However... Murong Fu felt that with his current strength, and that the burden didn't seem so heavy.
When he first arrived in this world, Murong Fu was freed from the 996, 007 lifestyle and just wanted to lie down.
But he later realized that his first- or second-rate skills were not enough to support him lying down comfortably.
So he also set aside several hours each day to practice martial arts.
Later, when the system arrived, Murong Fu discovered that it was still his beloved "Many Children, Many Blessings" system. So he brought his cousin, A'Zhu, and others along to improve together, and their lives were filled with joy.
It wasn't until they arrived in the world of Condor Heroes that they witnessed the desolation of nine out of ten houses being empty, and people being treated worse than dogs, and they saw the cruelty of the invaders.
Murong Fu could no longer be as carefree as before; he could hear the cries from afar...
So he led Guo Jing to repel the Tartar invaders, and later even led Qiao Feng, Aguda and others to deal with Ma Naizhen.
On their way to kill Zhao Xu, they also witnessed the corruption of the Imperial Guards and how they oppressed the people.
A fire rose in my heart.
If I were emperor, I would kill all these corrupt officials!
Murong Fu thought about it more and more and realized that if he became emperor, it would probably be good for everyone.
First of all, I am the emperor, so no one can falsely accuse me of rebellion!
Secondly, I am capable of fighting an entire nation by myself, so there is no need for so many messy guards. No one can assassinate me.
Then, I don't need to maintain any balance. I can use what works and kill what doesn't. I never have to worry about anyone plotting a rebellion or about corrupt officials. My soul-capturing technique can get me to reveal everything in the first interrogation. The money I embezzled is directly confiscated and used for disaster relief and improving people's well-being.
Finally...: I don't need to appoint any crown prince at all; I am the sun that never sets.
In a feudal dynasty, one might have had many things to consider, but now that one is a martial arts master, the road ahead is long, and one is determined to reach even higher realms.
Having broken through to the Grandmaster level, Murong Fu felt an increasingly profound sense of being "inhuman."
He did not aspire to be the ruler of a feudal dynasty, but rather to be a true sage king and a divine kingdom.
Murong Fu thought about it more and more, and it made more sense. He was the de facto ruler of the Liao Dynasty, the son-in-law of the Dali Emperor, and the son-in-law of the Western Xia...
Murong Fu said to Tong Guan, "Come with me."
He then walked towards the study where Zhao Xu had died.
Tong Guan naturally dared not delay and quietly followed behind Murong Fu.
During this time, Tong Guan kept trying to figure out what Murong Fu was thinking, but he didn't say a word. Tong Guan didn't dare to guess or speak casually.
Soon, we arrived at the study.
The place was ruined during the great battle between Murong Fu and the Sunflower Patriarch, and Zhao Xu's corpse was crushed into a two-dimensional shape by a fallen beam.
Murong Fu gently raised his hand, and his true energy moved the pillar aside, revealing the white brain matter beneath it.
Seeing Murong Fu's masterful skills, Tong Guan felt immense envy and kept showering him with compliments.
Murong Fu then seemed to remember something and pulled Cai Jing's head from the side to Zhao Xu's side.
Murong Fu knew that among the Song Dynasty emperors, Zhao Xu was actually considered quite good.
Without his own abilities, he might have even been able to subdue the Western Xia. He was far superior to Zhao Gu and Wanyan Gou.
But after all, he had murderous intent towards him, and even sent Cai Jing to attack his door with his troops. How could he possibly tolerate that?
Besides, Western Xia also belongs to Murong Fu; killing Zhao Xu directly would save them trouble later.
Murong Fu then said, "Let's cremate Cai Jing, that traitor, and then find a mountain to settle his affairs on."
Zhao Xu...let's handle it according to the normal procedures. I have a personal grudge against him, but he's upright in principle.
It's fortunate that it was Zhao Xu; if it had been someone from later on, he might have already started whipping the corpse.
Afterwards, Murong Fu sat down in the emperor's private seat in the study.
He glanced at his shoulders; though he didn't have a yellow robe, he couldn't help but say:
"You have all brought me great suffering!"
Tong Guan turned his head and found that he was the only one there, but his keen mind immediately told him that this was a story about the founding emperor of the dynasty.
He immediately kowtowed and shouted, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Murong Fu waved his hand and said, "You should manage things well in the palace recently. There must be no chaos in the palace. The same goes for outside the palace. When I came here, I saw the Imperial Guards oppressing the people. That person has already been nailed to a pillar."
I do not wish to see this happen again.
"I will return to Jiangnan for a while and come back in a few days."
Then, Murong Fu remembered something and said, "By the way, that Sunflower Ancestor has lived for so long, he must have a lot of treasures and secret manuals, right? Take me to see them."
Tong Guan naturally accepted the order and led Murong Fu to the place where the patriarch usually lived.
The three eunuchs there were so frightened by the man who had killed their ancestor that they immediately knelt down in submission.
Led by the young eunuch, Murong Fu arrived at the Sunflower Patriarch's treasure room.
The interior was luxurious and extravagant, leaving one in awe.
Murong Fu looked at a copy of the Sunflower Manual and saw the famous line on the first page: "To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself." He then turned to the next page and found that it did not say "If one does not castrate oneself, one can still succeed." He smiled slightly and stored all the treasures in the room into his personal space.
He then said to Tong Guan, "You go ahead and do your work."
Tong Guan naturally agreed, and Murong Fu waved him away.
Led by the young eunuch, Murong Fu quickly found the Imperial Garden, placed the beehives in a spot, and instructed the eunuch that no one was allowed to touch the beehives and that he would be in charge of guarding them until he returned.
He then summoned the little bees, and tens of thousands of jade bees, chirping, immediately hid in the entire garden under Murong Fu's command, while continuing to fly outwards and spread throughout the palace.
Seeing the scene before him, the third eunuch became even more convinced that this person possessed supernatural powers, and dared not act rashly. He had previously served as a eunuch to the Sunflower Patriarch, and now he was serving as a eunuch to Murong Fu, who was even stronger than the Sunflower Patriarch. He was not at a loss.
Murong Fu murmured:
"These jade bees are my eyes and ears, my special envoys."
Nothing in the capital can be kept from me. If it's a matter of following the rules of Tong Guan, it's not unacceptable, but if someone is restless...
Murong Fu would not have to exert much effort to kill Tong Guan.
strength!
Fist is power!
After his battle with the Sunflower Ancestor, Murong Fu deeply realized the importance of strength.
His martial arts skills and Dao heart have also made a qualitative leap.
