Ten days later, Dajin Kingdom! Above the court!
The atmosphere in the court was very oppressive, and all the officials looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair together without saying a word.
In the center of the two rows of courtiers, an official in yellow robes reported with an ugly face.
"Your Majesty, the Great Chen Kingdom has completely pledged its allegiance to the Ancient Mansion, and the whole country paid homage to the Mansion. Now Gao Xianzhi is leading the army of the Chen State. No, he should call the army of the Ancient Mansion to enter the border of our Jin Kingdom. , There has been a brief battle on the front line, and the report of defeat came!" The yellow-robed official said with an ugly face.
"Great Chen Kingdom? Chen Liangyi surrendered to Gu Hai just like that? Didn't he resist?" King Jin said with an ugly expression.
"No, I don't know how Gu Hai promised him. Chen Liangyi fully cooperated. Gu Hai seems to have been preparing for a long time. Officials alternate very frequently. Many officials of the Chen state are arranged by Gu Hai a long time ago!" Complicated way.
"There is no resistance?"
"Yes, there were a few city lords who were unwilling to submit to the ancient mansion and rose up, but they were quickly suppressed. Immortals participated in it, bloody cleansing, and there were still many voices of dissatisfaction within the Chen Kingdom, but they were digesting quickly. The direction has been reversed, Chen Guo no longer exists, and will return to the ancient mansion from now on!" The yellow-robed official said respectfully.
"The people didn't rebound?"
"Few, very few, very few. The ancient mansion is the richest man in the six countries, but it has accumulated a lot of good reputation in the past few decades, and its reputation among the people is very good. A year ago, Chen Guogang experienced great turmoil, and the hearts of the people were fluctuating. The approval of the people is greater than that of the royal family of the Chen Kingdom, so the handover is very smooth among the people!" the yellow-robed official said bitterly.
"Gu Hai, what a big ambition. With the power of one government, you want to unify the five kingdoms?" King Jin's face was gloomy.
"Your Majesty, although the ancient mansion is only one mansion, its influence does not extend to a country. Take our country as an example. In the business world, the ancient family industry has always been the leader in the business world! It is a commercial kingdom, hidden in the sixth country among the five countries. , it’s just been known as the mansion!” the yellow-robed official smiled wryly.
"The most important thing is that Gu Hai has now stepped into the realm of cultivation. He has three thousand immortals under his command. I'm afraid our mortal army...!" The yellow-robed official said with an ugly expression.
"Gu Hai is doing the opposite, and it won't be long before he jumps around. Hmph, he has three thousand immortals. Behind my Dajin Kingdom there is the Immortal Dinglong Sect, and behind the other countries there are Song Jiazong and Qinghe Sect. Gu Hai is angering all the immortal sects. Soon he will be doomed!" Jin Wang said coldly.
"Report! The third prince begs to see you!" An anxious voice came from outside the hall.
"Oh? The third prince? The third prince who worshiped Ding Longzong to cultivate immortality is back?" The officials burst into joy.
"Xuan!" King Jin shouted.
Soon, a group of guards carried a stretcher. On the stretcher lay a rather embarrassed man in red. There were bloodstains on his legs, scars all over his body, and his hair was loose.
"Third prince?" Everyone looked at the prince in red in surprise. How was it carried back
"Emperor, what's wrong with you?" Jin Wang stood up from the dragon chair with a changed expression.
Although the third prince is not a prince, in the eyes of King Jin, he is more important than the prince, because he will develop higher than himself in the future, and he can cultivate into a fairy. Although he is an emperor, his lifespan is limited. How can a piece of loess compare to a fairy
"Father, my son heard about the battle report from the front line as soon as he came back, so he didn't dare to stay, so he came right away!" The third prince said with a wry smile.
"What's going on? Who hurt you like this? Aren't you in Ding Longzong?" Jin Wang was surprised.
"Ding Longzong? Oh, it's gone!" the third prince said bitterly.
"No more? What do you mean? You Ding Longzong has several thousand disciples, why are you gone?" Jin Wang was surprised.
"Gu Hai went to the Ding Longzong. The Ding Longzong, including the suzerain, was almost dead. There were only a few dozen survivors at most. The child escaped back by luck!" the third prince said bitterly.
"What?" The officials suddenly exclaimed.
"Gu Hai? How is it possible? Didn't he just cultivate immortality? How could he be an enemy of your Ding Longzong?" Jin Wang was surprised.
"What is it to be an enemy of my Ding Longzong? Father doesn't know yet. Gu Hai returned this time and first destroyed the Dafeng Gang, then the Qinghe Sect, then the Song Jiazong, and not long ago, my Ding Longzong!" Third Prince said bitterly.
The ministers: "...!"
King Jin: "...!"
Destroyed the four great immortal gates one after another? There was a dead silence in the hall.
"Impossible, is Gu Hai that powerful? Didn't he just come to Xiantian Realm? Just now?" Jin Wang looked in disbelief.
"I heard that the disciples of Jiazong of Song died the worst. Gu Hai slaughtered more than 5,000 disciples of Jiazong of Song!" the third prince said bitterly.
King Jin: "...!"
The ministers: "...!"
The hall fell into a dead silence again.
"Report!" A messenger rushed into the hall.
"My Majesty, there is news from Bianjin City that Bianjin City has fallen, and it has been broken by Gao Xianzhi's army!" The messenger knelt down and reported.
The ministers: "... ......!"
Jin Wang: "... ......!"
Dafeng Gang? Qinghe sect? Song Jiazong? Ding Longzong? Four immortal gates
The ancient seas were slaughtered one by one? No wonder you want to dominate the world? No wonder he dared to dominate the world? The backer behind the Dajin Kingdom was also destroyed
"Gu Hai, Gu Hai!" Jin Wang clenched his fists with a gloomy expression. For a moment, there seemed to be a feeling of being powerless to resist.
"Boom boom boom boom!" There was a burst of drumming outside the hall.
"What's going on?" Jin Wang looked outside the hall.
Soon a guard rushed into the main hall: "Report to the emperor, Tang Chu, the chief treasurer of the Gufu Chamber of Commerce, begged to see the emperor, but was stopped, so he beat the 'shocking drum', begging to see the emperor!"
"Zhentian Drum? Only those who have great grievances among the people will beat the "Zhentian Drum" of Shangdatian Ting. No matter what the grievances are, those who beat the Zhentian Drum must stick eighty to correct the dragon's prestige. To accept the people's grievances as appropriate, the shopkeeper of the ancient mansion actually went to beat the drum?" The third prince was surprised.
At this time, no one will ask whether or not Zhang Bashi.
"Biography!" Jin Wang said in a deep voice.
"No, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, you go to meet the pass!" Jin Wang said immediately.
"Yes!" An official immediately exited the hall.
In the hall, the atmosphere was oppressive for a while.
The third prince was carried to the side, and his expression was extremely complicated at the moment.
Not long after, the servant of the Ministry of Rites attracted an old man with white hair. Although the old man had white hair, he was very energetic and had extremely sharp eyes. Behind him were two men in black robes, who seemed to be protecting him at any time.
"Shopkeeper Tang, please!" The Minister of Rites said very politely.
Shopkeeper Tang smiled slightly, and there was a feeling of elation in his eyes. He used to preside over the business of the ancient mansion in the Dajin Kingdom, and he saw how many people looked at him coldly. In the past, all the officials here looked down on him. above the top.
Now, the general of the country is changing, and his identity is about to change suddenly. How can shopkeeper Tang be in a bad mood at this moment
After entering the main hall, shopkeeper Tang did not meet the King Jin first, but looked at the two black-robed guards behind him.
"Thank you both for protecting each other all the way!" Shopkeeper Tang said with a slight salute.
"Treasurer Tang, we are also here at the order of the minister, you don't have to worry about us, you can do your own thing!" one of the black-robed men said in a deep voice.
Shopkeeper Tang nodded.
It was only at this moment that the ministers noticed the two guards of shopkeeper Tang. Are these two people the second of Gu Hai's three thousand immortals
Use immortals to protect mortals? The officials didn't understand for a while, and then they were horrified, because from this scene, they could see Gu Hai's determination.
"The treasurer of the ancient mansion stationed in the Kingdom of Jin, Tang Chu, has met the Emperor of Jin!" Tang Chu saluted slightly.
Shopkeeper Tang used 'meet' instead of 'meet', obviously he has put his identity on the status of an envoy of a country, not a humble citizen of Jin country.
"Treasurer Tang? Are you here on behalf of Gu Hai?" Jin Wang said in a deep voice.
"Yes, it's my master!" Shopkeeper Tang said with a smile.
"Your ancient mansion invaded my border, but you still have the guts to break into my court?" King Jin said coldly.
Tang Chu was not afraid of King Jin's imperial prestige, but smiled slightly.
Tang Chu is the big treasurer in charge of Jin Guo's business, and he has countless employees, and has his own majesty. Besides, once he takes over Jin Guo, he is likely to be the chief executive here. His status may soon replace the emperor in front of him, what else do he have to be afraid of
"King Jin, I didn't come here this time to argue with you, and I have nothing to argue with. The third prince is here, so I must have said what I should say, and the third prince has said everything!" Shopkeeper Tang said with a smile.
Jin Wang looked at Shopkeeper Tang coldly.
"King Jin, ministers, you don't have to look at me like that, my ancient mansion doesn't owe you anything, on the contrary you owe my ancient mansion countless!
Here, up to King Jin, down to the ministers, have you never taken money from my ancient mansion? Shopkeeper Tang sneered.
"Huh?" The ministers frowned and looked at shopkeeper Tang.
"Don't think that your regime in the Kingdom of Jin is so stable. In the past few decades, there have been five floods and six severe droughts in the Kingdom of Jin, each of which was accompanied by a major plague. The treasury is empty. Who helped the victims and did not cause turmoil? It is my ancient mansion. Without my ancient mansion, your Kingdom of Jin would have been in chaos long ago, did it all depend on the immortals of Ding Longzong? Did they control you?" Shopkeeper Tang laughed.
"This year, there is a severe drought in the Kingdom of Jin, thousands of miles of fertile fields, and no crops. If my ancient mansion no longer provides relief, how much food can your treasury provide? The people have nothing to eat, and it is the general trend to rise up and overthrow your regime!" Shopkeeper Tang said in a deep voice. .
"Shopkeeper Tang, what do you want to say?" Jin Wang said coldly.
"This time, on behalf of my master, I am presenting a letter of surrender to the royal family of the Kingdom of Dajin. I hope you can think about it and cherish this opportunity, so as not to lose your life!" Shopkeeper Tang handed out a silk cloth.
"Surrender letter?" King Jin stared.
The ministers were in an uproar, and immediately rebuked each other with angry eyes. I wish I could swallow Tang Chu alive.
"The letter of surrender is here for you. Whether you surrender or not is up to you. It's just a matter of time. Whether the people suffer or not, your fate will be different! By the way, the neighboring country 'Cai Guo' has already accepted the surrender!" Tang Chu handed out the surrender letter and took a step back.
"Emperor Dajin, my lords, I will take my leave first. You should discuss it yourself. After you think it over, let me know. I will live in the Gufu restaurant outside the palace!" Tang Chu said with a slight smile.
After finishing speaking, Tang Chu turned around and walked towards the outside of the main hall, followed by two black-robed guards.
The Great Jin Emperor's chest heaved and he suppressed his anger. The officials scolded angrily, but some of the officials who scolded angrily were thoughtful, and a strange look flashed in their eyes.
