Since Shangguan Wenji witnessed the death of Ouyang Haoxuan and his wife at the foot of Broken Soul Mountain, he seemed to have aged ten years, and he had been depressed after returning to the palace.
Jinling Kingdom has a short history in Miluo Continent, and he was also the first emperor of Jinling Kingdom.
In this world where the strong are respected, warriors cultivating immortals control most of the strength and resources, and the so-called emperor actually has no real power at all.
Especially compared to Tiangang, Cangming and other countries in Jinling, both the land and the people are so scarce, so the emperor has always been very useless.
This situation continued until Nangong Yu, a peerless genius, was born.
The Iron Qilin led by him repelled the army of monsters in one fell swoop, and stained the border of Jinling with the blood of the enemy. The twenty-year-old Nascent Soul warrior made everyone feel terrified, and no one dared to bully the youth poverty.
It was the appearance of Nangong Yu that made this country gain a firm foothold in the Miluo Continent, making people dare not covet it.
However, when Jinling was first established, it was the Ouyang family and Ouyang Zhixiong who stood behind him unswervingly, using his men to shake the mighty army, and opened up this road to imperial power for himself.
Shangguan Wenji still remembers that Ouyang Zhixiong used to have a Zhenwei army of more than 200,000 people, but in just a few years, the number of his army was only 100,000 in order to clear up internal strife for himself and fight against foreign enemies. No, the scale of the 100,000 Zhenwei army now can only be added later.
However, such a loyal subordinate to him, the founding hero of the Jinling Kingdom, ended up in such a... death without a whole body. His first wife, Mrs. Ouyang, was even more brutally defiled.
Now the only legitimate son, Ouyang Haoxuan, is even more unknown, and was hunted down.
He clearly knew that Ouyang Zhixiong could not rebel, and the Ouyang family could not rebel, but under the threat of the Feng family, he acquiesced to the crime of rebellion against the Ouyang family. They even let the members of the Feng family search for and kill General Ouyang's only son on their own land.
Hehe... It's too useless for me to live as an emperor!
As the young man named Xi Yue said, he can't even keep his loyal ministers, he can't even be the master of his own country, he can only be a puppet at the mercy of others, he...is not worthy of being a monarch at all.
This kind of guilt has been tormenting him, making him restless, so when the prince proposed to recruit a hundred thousand Zhenwei army, the depression that Shangguan Wenji had suppressed in his heart for a long time finally broke out.
He looked coldly at his son who was talking eloquently under the throne, and said coldly, "What did you say? Say it again?"
The crown prince Shangguan Qi didn't seem to feel the anger and aggrievedness of his father at all, but he still had an excited smile on his face, "Father, General Ouyang and his wife are dead now, and their only son Ouyang Haoxuan is now missing." Unknown, of course, with his identity as a traitor, even if he shows up, it is impossible for him to become an official again."
"Now that the 100,000 Zhenwei army under General Ouyang has no leader, it is the best time to recruit them. My son has already thought about it. The 100,000 Zhenwei army is too loyal to the Ouyang family. I only know General Ouyang. Not knowing the state of the emperor, this is very detrimental to the concentration of our imperial power."
"That's why I'm going to break up the hundred thousand Zhenwei army, divide them into parts and organize them into the Imperial Guard Army and the Qingyang Army, so that they can't connect with each other. After a long time, they will naturally forget General Ouyang and turn to the army. And loyal to my royal family. What does your father think?"
