The Bad Guys: Playing the Fake Li Xingyun at the Beginning

A four-inch seal with a five-dragon knot and one corner inlaid with gold. Isn't this the imperial seal that has been passed down for thousands of years?

No wonder it is said that the Longquan treasure contains treasures that are rich enough to rival a country. It turns out that the imperial seal is hidden here.

"Now that the Longquan treasure has been unearthed, the mandate of heaven has returned to the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial seal has been recovered. You can all rest assured." Su Ming glanced at everyone and held up the imperial seal.

In the crowd, Yelu Zhiwu was confused. She was a Khitan and did not understand the significance of the imperial seal to the emperor. However, the others present knew it very well.

Although the imperial seal cannot bring soldiers, money and food, in the eyes of people with lofty ideals all over the world, it has a reasonable and legitimate sacredness.

When the people of the three kingdoms of Wu, Shu and Chu saw this scene, their hearts trembled and they lost their last bit of hope.

At this time, although Li Siyuan did not look up, he knew what Su Ming had obtained, and immediately shouted loudly, "Long live the emperor!"

The deep voice echoed in the small space, and the others glanced at him and echoed it.

Hearing this, Su Ming did not feel too happy. Without the pressure of life and death crisis, he no longer had the sense of urgency he had before, and his tense spirit also relaxed.

He raised his hand, "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone present stood up, except Li Siyuan, who was still kneeling on the ground, motionless.

Su Ming glanced at him calmly, "Li Siyuan, you should get up too."

Li Siyuan was overjoyed, his narrow eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said flatteringly, "I thank your majesty."

Afterwards, a group of people came out of the Longquan treasure.

Looking at the devastation of the war before their eyes, everyone couldn't help but have a thought in their mind: It's finally over.

After several decades, the Longquan treasure game has finally come to an end. The world situation will usher in a new round of reshuffle and changes. Everyone must make plans for their future.

After coming out of the salt marsh, Su Ming handed over the finishing touches to Yuan Tiangang, "Yuan Tiangang, I'll leave the follow-up of the Longquan treasure to you, the Bad People. Don't let me down."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I'm watching over it. Nothing inside will be lost." Yuan Tiangang understood the importance of the matter and replied immediately.

Su Ming put his finger to his lips and whistled cheerfully. A warhorse heard the whistle, raised its hoof, and ran to his side quickly. "Let's go. The matter is over. I should go back to Luoyang. Everyone, the mountains and rivers remain unchanged. We will meet again if we are destined to meet again!"

After saying this, he jumped on his horse, shook the reins, and swept his eyes over the 2,500 cavalrymen of the Shen Ce Army, "Let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of horse hooves rang out, followed by the charge of thousands of troops. The black torrent went away like a long dragon and disappeared into the horizon.

After Su Ming left with the empress and others, Li Siyuan also left, leaving only Yuan Tiangang and a group of bad guys behind.

Mirror Heart Demon, Meng Po and the elite members of the Bad People said nothing and looked at Yuan Tiangang silently. An unspeakable atmosphere spread.

Whether it was Yuan Tiangang’s previous rebellious behavior or Jing Xin Mo secretly tipping off Su Ming, both caused a considerable rift in this organization that had been passed down for three hundred years.

"As for what happened before, the emperor was broad-minded and will let bygones be bygones. From now on, you, as his fellow ministers, should share his majesty's worries. Do you understand?" Yuan Tiangang had lived for more than three hundred years, so naturally he would not take this matter to heart, let alone care about the actions of Jing Xinmo and Meng Po.

For a moment, many people breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Marshal was defeated, his prestige was still there. Who wouldn't be afraid of him settling the score later?

"I understand, your subordinates." Meng Po and Jing Xin Mo looked at each other and said in unison.

"Pass on my order to take all the treasures from Longquan and transport them to Luoyang. No mistakes can be made!"

……

The news of the discovery of the Longquan treasure spread very quickly. Within just half a month, many people from south to north were talking about it. The treasure, which was worth more than half a year, had finally been settled.

Things turned out just as everyone expected. The emperor obtained the Longquan treasure and the court became rich.

However, no news about the real or fake Li Xingyun was leaked, and only the people present and a few others knew about the epic battle between Su Ming and Yuan Tiangang.

Everyone who knew the news kept silent about it.

When the news reached Luoyang, the whole city was in an uproar. The people ran around telling each other the news, overjoyed. They were unaware of the overall situation, they only knew that the emperor had obtained the Longquan treasure and the court had become more powerful.

People are all made of flesh and blood. Everyone has seen the changes in Luoyang over the past year or so. The common people at the bottom are easily satisfied. They just need to have food to eat and clothes to wear.

They don't understand the big principles, they only know that it is the current emperor who has given them their current life. Compared with their previous life of living from hand to mouth and not having enough food to eat, this is exactly the life they have dreamed of.

This is true for the common people at the bottom of society, but not necessarily for those at the top.

In the Prince of Jin's mansion, Li Cunzhi sat on a chair, holding the handle, with a worried look on his face, "What's going on? Didn't Big Brother say that the Bad Commander was going to help Li Xingyun take the throne? It's been half a month, why is there no news at all?"

At this moment, a spy from the Tongwen Pavilion walked in and said, "Master, the prince has sent a letter."

Li Cunzhi quickly stood up and took the letter. He opened it and instantly felt weak all over. He slumped down on the chair, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. "How could this happen? The bad commander surrendered to the emperor?"

In the letter, Li Siyuan did not reveal too much information, but only asked Li Cunzhi to give up resistance, submit to the emperor and not oppose him. He also mentioned that the Buliangshuai had already surrendered to the emperor.

This sudden news caught Li Cunzhi off guard. He originally thought that with Li Xingyun in power, they could protect themselves, but he didn't expect that this would be the outcome.

Little did people know that after resting in Hedong for two days, Li Siyuan headed for Luoyang without stopping.

Your life is more important, you don’t have to care about so many things!

Chapter 251 Sixth brother, you have to help your big brother!

After a day's journey, Su Ming and the Shen Ce Army found a place surrounded by mountains and water to set up camp.

At night, with a cool breeze, Su Ming changed into a white robe and was having a meal in the tent. Besides him, there were Yelu Zhiwu and the empress in the tent.

Yelu Zhiwu was a simple-minded person and didn't think too much. He ate heartily at the table and enjoyed himself to the fullest.

In comparison, the empress seemed to be in a heavy mood. She said nothing and put down her chopsticks after eating a few bites.

"Today's food doesn't suit your taste?"

The empress shook her head and looked up at him with some inexplicable emotions in her eyes.

"Just tell me what you want to ask. There is nothing that cannot be discussed between you and me." Su Ming said gently.

"Are you okay? What happened that day when you had a decisive battle with Yuan Tiangang?" The empress hesitated for a moment and finally asked the question in her mind.

This question was not only hers, but everyone's question. After all, Su Ming defeated Yuan Tiangang, who had lived for three hundred years, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Su Ming had already thought about what they would ask, so he naturally had the answers ready.

The system is his biggest secret, which he certainly cannot tell, but he can make excuses for it.

Su Ming recalled the scene at that time and said in a solemn tone, "Logically speaking, I couldn't beat Yuan Tiangang, and I couldn't find a chance to kill Li Xingyun. You couldn't kill him either. At that juncture, if I didn't fight, I might have died."

"Some time ago, after you left Luoyang, by chance, I saw a secret room in the palace, from which I obtained an elixir of immortality."

"I didn't believe in this thing at first, but in the end I took a gamble and I didn't expect it would actually work."

What he said was not really talking, after all, the effect of Dragon Essence was similar to that of the elixir of immortality.

The elixir?

The empress' pupils shrank and she was extremely shocked. She had thought of many reasons, but she never expected that Su Ming actually got the legendary elixir of immortality?

She suppressed her excitement and asked with concern, "Are you telling the truth? Besides Yuan Tiangang, is there anyone else who can make the medicine? Will there be any problems?"

For a moment, Su Ming was silent.

The empress stared at him with her beautiful eyes, her expression tense. Just when she was about to lose her temper, Su Ming spoke up, "This immortality medicine does have some problems, but it's not a big problem. Don't worry."

That's what she said, but the empress didn't seem to believe it at all.

His power increased dramatically and he defeated Yuan Tiangang. Even if he had taken the elixir of immortality, he would not have been unscathed. In this world, everything has a price.

Even Yuan Tiangang, who lived for three hundred years, ended up with his body rotting after taking the elixir of immortality, and had to resort to the art of replenishing his yang with yin.

The empress was a smart person. Since Su Ming didn't say anything, she didn't continue to ask, but just kept the matter in her heart.

After that, Su Ming instructed again, "You just need to know about this matter. Don't tell others. An emperor who took the immortality elixir is not a good thing for some people."

An emperor who lives for a long time may maintain a stable political situation for the country, but this stability will not last long because the longer a person lives, the more paranoid he becomes, which is not a good thing.

Besides, if there was a prince, it would be even worse.

Is there any prince in this world who only lasts for sixty years?

The empress understood the seriousness of the matter, nodded and said nothing.

……

A month later, the Shence Army entered the Heluo area. After more than three months of traveling back and forth, this cavalry completed a gorgeous transformation, from a team of recruits to an army capable of fighting, with a brand new spirit and spirit.

Before entering Luoyang, Su Ming rested in the inn for a few days, washing, bathing, changing clothes, and after a series of procedures, he became the young emperor in the court again.

When leaving Luoyang, he did so with great fanfare, and when returning he did so with even greater fanfare to demonstrate the majesty of the court. There were many procedures when the emperor went on a tour.

However, there was no one in the court who opposed Su Ming. In just a few days, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works and the Luoyang government cooperated and finally put on a show.

Ten miles outside Luoyang City, hundreds of officials stood by the official road to welcome them.

In the distance, I saw a mighty cavalry, the sound of horse hooves was like thunder. After a moment, the black cavalry came into view. The iron-blooded and fierce aura frightened many court officials.

As the emperor arrived, all the officials bowed and saluted, "Long live the emperor!"

"My dear ministers, please stand up!" Su Ming's calm and gentle voice came from the car, echoing in the ears of every official.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Let's go into town."

As the words fell, the carriage moved forward again. The pedestrians, merchants and hawkers on both sides of the official road were stunned. They had never seen such a grand scene before.

If this gets out, they’ll be able to brag about it to people around them for the rest of their lives.

The journey from the city to the palace took the entire convoy a full hour before entering the imperial city, and the people of Luoyang had a great time.

Not long after Su Ming entered the city, a fast horse also followed him into the city.

Li Siyuan rode a fast horse, covered in dust and dirt, back to the Prince of Jin's Mansion. Li Cunzhi got the news and hurried back, only to see Li Siyuan riding away again.

He was left standing there in a daze, looking stunned.

In Prince Xue's Mansion, Li Cunli had just returned from outside the city. He changed out of his court robes and was sitting in the back garden drinking tea. Today was a court holiday, so he did not have to work in the Secretariat.

He had been feeling comfortable these days, no one in the court was angry with him, and he had gotten his fill of governing. And a month ago, His Majesty got the Longquan treasure.

The situation in the court changed again. It seemed that all the people under Li Siyuan's command had defected overnight and no longer secretly hindered him.

I went all in and invested in Your Majesty, and I made a fortune.

Every time he thought of this, Li Cunli couldn't help but smile. This was the wisest choice he had ever made in his life.

However, compared to him, Li Siyuan was in a dilemma.

At this time, the housekeeper suddenly reported, "Your Highness, His Royal Highness Prince Jin wants to see you. It seems that there is something important."

"Li Siyuan? What is he doing in my house?" Li Cunli's comfortable look disappeared, replaced by a puzzled expression. Since breaking up with Li Siyuan a year ago, he has not met Li Siyuan privately for a long time.

After thinking about it, he decided to meet him. Even though Li Siyuan's martial arts skills were better than his and he was definitely wary of him, he was no longer afraid of him.
