Chapter 44: The Emperor and His Ministers Have Met with the Time (44)

After getting the "support" of Luo Xiuyuan and others, Shen Minghuan killed people wantonly in the court.

He was very reasonable. Every time before killing someone, he would present the evidence of the other party's crime with reason and evidence. After all, his goal was to make the whole world weep for the death of a hero, and naturally he would not accuse himself of an unwashable sin.

These charges ranged from corruption to oppression of the people. In short, it made people feel that they deserved to die. But they obviously did not think they deserved to die, but only felt that Shen Minghuan, who killed so many people, was extremely terrible.

Now no one called Shen Minghuan a "traitor", everyone called him "King of Hell".

Shen Minghuan was very satisfied after hearing this title. No wonder he was able to survive at the beginning, and even the King of Hell could not take his life. It turned out that he was the King of Hell.

Luo Xiuyuan offered to help him share some of the burden, but Shen Minghuan immediately refused.

"You will be the most wise monarch in the vast history. You cannot have any criticism or stain."

"Let the ministers do these things. Even if you don't like someone in the future, remember to write to the ministers you trust first."

Luo Xiuyuan guessed that maybe Shen Minghuan felt that his identity had been exposed, so he was less and less pretentious recently.

The relationship between the two of them returned to the time when he was still the prince. Shen Minghuan expressed his expectations for him very frankly, and he wanted to promote him to the status of the greatest emperor in history more and more blatantly.

Luo Xiuyuan had no words to say.

Shen Minghuan chose to leave the day before New Year's Eve. He said that the soldiers far away in the north could not go home for the New Year. If he stayed, he would be more uneasy. It would be better to leave early.

Before leaving, Shen Minghuan specially gathered Luo Xiuyuan, Qu Zhengcheng and others together to hand over the power and work in his hands.

"I will leave Chen Xiaoyu and 5,000 soldiers to help Lord Lu divide the land." Shen Minghuan said.

Chen Xiaoyu had not known about this before, and was shocked when he heard it, "No, no, lord, I am a military general, I want to go to the battlefield."

Shen Minghuan patiently explained: "There are many obstacles to dividing the land. You will not lack battles even if you don't go to the border, and this matter requires military support, and the court needs you even more."

"Isn't there still the Xianzhen Camp?" Chen Xiaoyu wanted to hug Shen Minghuan's thigh and beg him, "Lord, if I stay, what will you do?"

"General Zhuo is here, and the 100,000 Zhenbei Army is here, I will always have someone to use. The land division is to be implemented throughout the court, and the Xianzhen Camp is to protect the imperial capital. In fact, I think 5,000 people are not enough." Shen Minghuan said, "With you here, they can play their role to the greatest extent."

"But on the way..." No one will take care of you on the road, lord, you will starve yourself to death, right? Chen Xiaoyu felt that he would be beaten if he said this, and hurriedly swallowed the rest of the words back.

"What happened on the way?" Shen Minghuan asked curiously, "Are you still worried that I will be ambushed? You should know my skills. Even if I can't beat them, running away is not a problem."

He thought for a while and added, "It's impossible to beat them. I'm invincible."

Chen Xiaoyu hesitated.

Luo Xiuyuan and others also disagreed, "No, no, leave at most 5,000 soldiers behind. General Chen, you must take them with you."

Shen Minghuan had no one to take care of him, and they all doubted whether he could make it to the North.

Gu Chenglin didn't know why everyone was so worried, but he decided to follow the crowd, "How about I go to the North with you? General He in the Xianzhen Camp is enough."

After saying that, he felt that his idea was really brilliant. He hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time, and his bones were loose.

Shen Minghuan looked around, Luo Xiuyuan shook his head, Qu Zhengcheng frowned, Lu Suiping and others sighed, Chen Xiaoyu was about to cry, and Gu Chenglin was full of expectations...

He felt that he couldn't leave alone.

Shen Minghuan thought for a moment: "I'll take General He with me, is that okay?"

He Zhang looked at him in surprise.

"This..." The others looked at each other, wanting to object but not daring to. After all, Shen Minghuan had already taken a step back, and it would be a bit bad if they pushed further.

He Zhang silently retracted his gaze, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded to express his agreement.

These days, even though he knew that his prejudice against Shen Minghuan was a misunderstanding, he saw with his own eyes that this person killed the late emperor.

He could no longer target Shen Minghuan, but he could not make friends with Shen Minghuan, because this was against his persistence in his heart.

However, he did not kill this person, which violated his promise to the late emperor, which made him very uncomfortable, and he did not know what attitude to face Shen Minghuan, so he could only avoid this person.

He Zhang did not expect Shen Minghuan to refuse Chen Xiaoyu and Gu Chenglin's choice of him, but conquering the Kou Kingdom was also his dream, and He Zhang could not give up.

*

When the officials on leave heard that Shen Minghuan was leaving Yanling, they excitedly asked their servants to take out all the firecrackers and fireworks prepared for New Year's Eve and light them.

Finally, he left. They didn't expect that they could spend the New Year peacefully this year. Thank God, this New Year gift was really generous.

Luo Xiuyuan and others were worried but also a little happy. Since Shen Minghuan was not in Yanling, they could boldly implement the plan of sending this man to the throne.

Otherwise, if this man knew about this, he would definitely say "the world is the most important" and would definitely not agree.

Now, while Shen Minghuan was far away from the emperor, they turned the public opinion in Yanling around and rushed out to put the dragon robe on him when Shen Minghuan returned to the city.

Execute first and report later, cooperate with the excitement of the people when they won a great victory, and implement this matter. Even if Shen Minghuan opposed it later, there would be nothing he could do.

Wow, they are really a group of clever ghosts.

Luo Xiuyuan is serious about rebellion.

Although Shen Minghuan was not in the capital, the policies he left behind did not stop. Qu Zhengcheng, Lu Zhi, Lin Zhihang, those unwavering royalists, chased people like mad dogs, and strictly implemented all the orders of Shen Minghuan, which made people wonder if they took the wrong medicine or suddenly became mentally retarded.

Shen Minghuan actually kept Chen Xiaoyu, the black and white impermanence beside the King of Hell, and the key point was that he listened to Qu Zhengcheng and others, arresting whoever he was told to arrest and chopping whoever he was told to chop.

Everyone wanted to grab his collar and ask loudly, Shen Minghuan just left, you are too fast to abandon the dark and join the light! Is it appropriate? Ah, is it appropriate!

At first, some people speculated that the emperor had an accident, or was controlled by Shen Minghuan, and Qu Zhengcheng and others were threatened and had no choice but to do it.

As a result, when Luo Xiuyuan went to court for the first time after the New Year, he sat at the top and even began to rule the country, as if he had taken back all the power.

Not only that, he also praised Shen Minghuan, and mentioned him every time he went to court. The easy-to-understand translation is:

"Today is also a day to miss Minghuan."

"How long has Minghuan been away? Ah, ten days? Will he be back soon?"

"It would be great if Minghuan was here, he could solve this problem in a moment."

"Why don't you say anything? Don't you think Minghuan is amazing?"

That is to say, Shen Minghuan is already the regent, and there is no reward or title to be given, otherwise Luo Xiuyuan would not just praise him.

Everyone watched and listened, and was very worried that one day their majesty would give away his throne.

Now even fools know that Luo Xiuyuan and Shen Minghuan are in the same group. The corrupt officials are frowning, the noble families are depressed, and the officials who have just been promoted are at a loss.

After scolding Shen Minghuan for so long, this person actually turned into their accomplice? Has the undercover become the biggest villain? Is his acting a little too good?

Outside the court, Lu Suiping was also serious about the land distribution.

During the rest time, he would take off his robe, change into coarse cloth, and run to various villages.

He never concealed his identity, but perhaps because his attitude was too friendly and casual, after a few words, the people would put aside their concerns and chat with him enthusiastically.

Lord Lu is a good official.

Every time a citizen said this, Lu Suiping would explain tirelessly: "I also act according to the regulations. These regulations, as well as the policy of land distribution, were formulated by a man named Shen Minghuan. You should thank him if you want to thank him."

"Yes, the official who beat someone to death before was also ordered to be executed by Lord Shen. Not only that, Lord Shen severely punished anyone who oppressed the people."

People who had the honor of seeing Shen Minghuan outside the Xue Mansion immediately explained to the people around them with a proud look, as if they were praising his son instead of Shen Minghuan.

Whether it is officials who do practical things for the people or relatives and neighbors who swear solemnly, their words are obviously very convincing.

It is not yet the season for sowing, and it is the most suitable first month for visiting relatives and friends, and when visiting relatives and friends, they always have to talk about gossip.

Shen Minghuan's experience is full of twists and turns, which is very exciting. The people can talk about it all day without getting tired.

Not to mention the Shen family.

After the guards of the Shen family were removed, the servants who could move freely argued for their own sons. When asked, they said that the sons were good, wonderful, and gentle, which you can't imagine.

Such unified praise without a single derogatory word, either Shen Minghuan had cast a spell on them, or this person was a good person who was hard to find in the world.

Shen Changqing and Shen Duo were also not stingy in praising Shen Minghuan.

Literati are inherently reserved in their speech, especially when talking about their own children, they only say three out of eight good things. In such a trend, Shen Minghuan is particularly eye-catching.

Moreover, the Shen family has some extraordinary friends, disciples, and students, who are influential.

So before they knew it, the whole city was singing about Shen Minghuan.

Lu Suiping was just one person, and he couldn't take care of the equal-field system for the whole world.

He summarized his experience in dividing the land and taught it to the people he specially selected to be responsible for this matter, and he himself, as an imperial envoy, would come to a certain town for a surprise inspection from time to time.

Every time the equal-field system spread outward, the people who were "specially guided" by Lord Lu would talk about Shen Minghuan's achievements.

In this era of closed information, some people don't even know how many emperors have changed, but they can talk about Shen Minghuan.

This reputation reached its peak after the news of the great victory on the front line came.

For a moment, it seemed as if the whole world was a believer of Shen Minghuan.
