Chapter 1395: Becoming the Emperor (1)

“Thank you, sir. We haven’t seen each other for a while,”

Yang Chuannan held his knife in his right hand, straightened his back, and stood outside the fence. His voice was deep and rich.

this winter has been particularly difficult to endure. I thought Lord Xie would die in prison, but I didn’t expect you to survive.

Xie Lu moved his head and looked through his unkempt hair at yang Chuannan, who was outside the fence. His voice was hoarse.

“What are you doing here? are you trying to persuade me to join the rebel?”

Yang Chuannan nodded. this is your only way out. Don’t expect the Imperial court to save you. The chief administrator has been imprisoned for half a year without anyone asking about him. Lord Xie is a smart man, you should know what this means.”

Xie Lu slowly said,

Yunzhou is already out of the control of the Imperial court. If I’m not wrong, before I took office, Yunzhou’s officialdom was already under your control.

Yang Chuannan laughed, ”

“It’s not within my control, but within the city Lord’s control. Ever since I became the chief administrator of Yunzhou, I have been secretly training my henchmen and supporting my trusted aides. It was not until a year ago when the witchcraft cult, led by song Changfu, was removed that I completely controlled the officialdom of Yunzhou.

“The entire cloud plane is now under our control, including your life.”

The Squires of the cloud region, the local prominent families, and the scholarly class had all submitted to the hidden Dragon City.

Some of them were willing to submit and did not have a choice, while some of them were secretly supported by the hidden Dragon City.

The entire Yunzhou stretched for thousands of miles. To be able to break away from the control of the great Feng imperial court in such a short period of time, this was a Testament to the hidden Dragon city’s hundreds of years of Foundation.

“Lord Xie is a double-entry scholar, and you have a high official status. The hidden Dragon City needs a talent like you. Lord Xie, a fine bird chooses a tree to rest in, a fine official chooses his son.”

“The hidden Dragon City is the place for you to show off your skills,” yang Chuannan persuaded him with all his heart.

“What a pity,” Xie Lu laughed.

“A pity?”

“It’s a pity that this seven-foot body has a stomach full of books of saints and sages. It can only hold a brush and can’t kill. It’s said that scholars are useless, but they don’t want to admit it. But now, it is true.” Xie Lu said with regret.

Yang Chuannan’s expression turned cold.

it’s not easy to stay in the school for ten years. Mr. Xie, are you really willing to waste half of your life’s effort to get to where you are today? ”

“I can’t bear to,” Xie Lu leaned against the cold wall and looked up at the sunlight coming in through the air holes.

“But I’m more afraid of being spurned by future generations thousands of years later. Surnamed yang, do you know who I admire the most?”

Yang Chuannan looked at him coldly.

“It’s Zheng xinghuai, the chief governor of Chu Zhou. He let all the scholars in the world understand what it means to” sacrifice their lives for righteousness.””

Xie Lu sneered. forget it. What’s there to say to people like you? ”

Yang Chuannan nodded, ”

“Since that’s the case, then there’s no need to waste any more words. Minister Xie has asked for benevolence and received benevolence.”

He pulled out his long sword and cut the chain.

Buzzzzzz!

The cell door was kicked open. Yang Chuannan stepped forward and thrust his iron sword forward. The tip of the sword pierced Xie Lu’s chest and nailed him to the wall behind him.

Xie Lu held the blade with both hands and struggled in pain.

His hand was stained with warm blood, and his life was quickly lost with the blood.

Yang Chuannan laughed, ”

“I forgot to give Lord Xie time to write his will. If there’s anything you want to say before you die, just say it. Otherwise, you’ll never have the chance again.”

Xie Lu didn’t have much to say, he just thought of his younger days when he studied hard.

At that time, the Battle of Shanhai Pass had not started yet, and the previous emperor had not cultivated Tao.

However, after the Battle of Shanhai Pass, everything changed. Da Feng’s power became weaker and there were disasters every year.

Xie Lu was a man who had experienced peace and prosperity. He had seen with his own eyes that this country was weakening step by step and becoming old.

Like many scholars, he worked hard in the hope of saving the country and bringing it back to its peak.

But he failed, because he was about to die.

At the end of his life, Xie Lu said sternly, ”

“Someone will take revenge for me. You rebels and traitors will die without a burial place.”

He glared at yang Chuannan and started to mock him.

The laughter stopped when it was at its highest.

Cloud Prefecture city, commander’s Manor.

Yang Chuannan returned to the mansion and strode towards the study room. He pushed open the door and saw Ji Xuan flipping through the memorials.

“Young master! The coronation ceremony is about to begin, why are you still here?”

Yang Chuannan frowned.

the number of refugees gathered is less than 10000. The number is far from our expectations. Ji Xuan put down the memorial and asked,

“What’s going on?”

“Yang Gong has sealed off the border of Qingzhou,” yang Chuannan said with a wry smile,”so the refugees can’t come here. They can only reach Yunzhou if they cross the mountains or go around the neighboring provinces.” This yang Gong will not be easy to deal with.”

Ji Xuan nodded his head.

“In an hour’s time, it will be His Majesty’s coronation. As the Crown Prince, you can not be absent,” yang Chuannan urged.

“I won’t be attending the coronation ceremony. I have my own place to go,” Ji Xuan shook his head.

The hidden Dragon City was the “hiding place” during the dormant period. Now that his father was going to ascend the throne, it was natural that he would make it public. The coronation ceremony would be held in the central area of the cloud state city-the White Emperor temple.

“Is that Xie Lu willing to submit?” asked Ji Xuan.

“I’ve already killed him,” yang Chuannan shook his head.

“It’s good to kill him.”

With a casual tone, Ji Xuan said indifferently,”Scholars are most afraid of losing their integrity in their later years, but it’s also a kind of blessing.”

White Emperor temple.

Today, all the officials of the cloud state city had gathered at the White Emperor temple, including the officials of the hidden Dragon City. The Black Mass of people stood in the square, with the Civil officials on the left and the officials on the right. They were arranged in an orderly manner.
