How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 381
[381.Chapter 381: Seeing the dagger in the picture]
His Majesty’s Oral Order?
Everyone present was shocked.
Did Lu Gan come here with an imperial edict?
“Calling people out quickly.”
Lu Qian walked slowly to the longevity peach in the hall and reached out to touch it a few times.
It’s actually a real peach!
“Yes!”
Cai An was surprised and backed away.
After a while, Cai Zhenqing hurriedly walked out of the inner hall and summoned the members of the Cai clan, as well as the heads of the other three major noble clans, powerful figures, juniors, etc.
Lu Gan turned around and looked at the large crowd of people in the palace. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Twenty-four prefectures, guards, guards, and the chief of the Zhenfu Division came out.”
Everyone in the palace looked at each other secretly, Go to the front.
Fortunately, apart from Wu Lun, there were only three arrestees from the Zhenfu Division who came to celebrate his birthday.
Lu Gan’s eyes swept over these people, and his expression suddenly became solemn: “Your Majesty has decreed that there is a severe drought in the northwest. The Guiluo Kingdom has gathered troops to display at the border and is ready to move. The northwest army is in urgent need of food and grass. All counties in Youzhou are required to prepare enough within ten days. Fifty million kilograms of grain and grass, and two hundred thousand kilograms of commonly used medicinal materials and elixirs will be sent to the Prince of Youzhou, and then transported to the northwest border via the Zhenhai Navy. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed! “
The word ‘kill’ is like thunder falling to the ground. , the explosion shocked everyone in the hall.
After everyone heard this, their expressions changed, and whispers immediately started.
Cai Zhenqing looked at each other and the old guys from the three major noble clans, their brows wrinkled slightly, as if they felt something was wrong.
“I dare to ask Shen Yong Wang, the Ghost Immortal Master of Guiluo Kingdom has been beheaded by His Majesty, and now Guiluo Kingdom is in the midst of civil strife and power struggle. Why are they gathering troops on the border to prepare to invade our Daxuan?”
A man wearing a white crane brocade robe A mighty middle-aged man stood up and asked, his voice unusually rich and powerful.
“You are…”
Lu Gan glanced at him sideways.
“I hold the humble position of Sheriff of Blackwater County, Li Jianming.” The mighty middle-aged man replied.
Oh, it turned out to be the suspect who set fire to the vault.
A sharp light flashed in Lu Gan’s eyes, and he hummed and asked, “Do you know why the Queen of the Universiade Dynasty suddenly screamed in the middle of the night?”
“Uh…”
Li Jianming couldn’t keep up with Lu Gan’s thinking, hesitated, frowned and shook his head. He shook his head and said, “I don’t know what my position is.”
“I don’t know, you still ask?”
Lu Gan’s face suddenly turned cold, and he sternly scolded: “I am not a real god. You can figure out what Guiluo Kingdom is thinking with just a few fingers!” If you don’t even have this bit of brain, how on earth did you become this county governor? Who was the idiot Shangguan who promoted you? You’d better go back and find a killer to kill him later, and then find a killer to kill yourself! It’s only because of a useless governor like you that the king’s treasury is on fire!”
This scolding shocked the entire audience.
Li Jianming had been so humiliated, his face was red, and he seemed to want to say something.
But Cai Zhenqing directly sent a message to him to step back. He took a step forward and said with cupped hands: “I dare to ask the brave king, this mobilization of food and grass is a very important matter. Is there an imperial decree?”
“Your Majesty speaks eloquently, and the oral decree is the imperial decree!”
Lu Qian looked cold. , with a cold light in his eyes: “Why, Cai Zhenqing, do you want to resist the decree?”
“I don’t dare!”
Cai Zhenqing quickly raised his hands and said: “It’s just that the 1.2 billion people in Youzhou consume a huge amount of food every day, and these five people are temporarily transferred Tens of millions of kilograms
of
food will probably cause panic and unrest among the people. If there is an imperial edict, the people will naturally feel at ease!
Are you using the people’s hearts and minds as a threat?
Lu Gan snorted coldly and retorted on the spot: “Without food and grass, the people of Youzhou will only be hungry for a few days. Pipazhou in Qingzhou can immediately relieve their urgent needs! But the 800,000 soldiers of the Northwest Army have no food and grass, so the thirteen northwest states will be in danger! Which one is less important? What’s more important, Cai Zhenqing, you can’t tell the difference? Could it be that you’ve eaten too many peaches and your brain has deteriorated to the level of a monkey? “
This guy has such a vicious mouth! “
For a moment, the Cai clan members in the palace glared at Lu Gan, their hostility obvious.
The other three major noble clans were also secretly frightened and did not dare to open their mouths to get into trouble.
No matter how well-mannered Cai Zhenqing was, he was insulted in front of so many juniors and guests. Anger appeared on his face. He gritted his teeth and said: “King of Brave Warriors, I am several generations older than you, so please be merciful!”
“Huh !”
!”
Lu Gan snorted, stopped looking at him, and said with squinted eyes: “This time we must mobilize food and grass without delay! The food, grass, and elixirs allocated by various counties will be sent to the Heishui County Prince’s Palace as soon as possible, but the Prince’s Palace is extremely short of manpower, so I Prepare to recruit a thousand people and let them transport military supplies with the Zhenhai Navy! The list has been made, U Lun, come and read it out!”
“Yes!”
U Lun accepted the order, and opened his mouth to spit out a personal name. : “Cai Yujun, Cai Jin, Cai Yuxuan, Cai Linghui… Ye Jianjia… Li Zihua… Yue Qingfeng, a thousand people in total!”
When the last name fell, the calm crowd immediately exploded.
“No!”
“This is absolutely impossible!”
“They are all elites of our Cai family, how can they go directly to the battlefield?”
“I object!”
…
The expressions of the four major noble families present were extremely excited, and the hall became filled with excitement. Unusually noisy.
Cai Zhenqing and the others looked at each other with ugly expressions on their faces.
This Lu Gan is going to take these people as hostages! I’m afraid there are even more terrifying and insidious tricks!
Thinking of this, Cai Zhenqing raised his hand, and the noisy sound in the palace immediately disappeared.
His eyes sparkled, and he cupped his hands and said: “The Brave King! Yujun and the others are all young people who are just starting out. They have never been on the battlefield. If they are allowed to transport military rations, I am afraid they will delay the war! I think it is better to choose another candidate for the Brave King. “
Okay!”
“What do you think? When will it be my turn?”
Lu Gan stared coldly and scolded him mercilessly: “Why don’t I choose your mother?” It’s not like they’re going to the battlefield. Why are you in such a hurry? Also, as people of Daxuan, they actually ran away from the battlefield in the face of this important matter of national survival. But it’s no wonder that they are a bunch of old bastards who are greedy for life and afraid of death. , naturally taught a bunch of shrunken little bastards. “
That’s too much!
Lu Qian’s words of ridicule directly scolded the entire four major noble families in the hall.
Many people had anger in their eyes and gnashed their teeth, as if they wanted to rush up and beat Lu Gan half to death.
Cai Zhenqing’s face was ashen. Even if he was a bastard who had cultivated for thousands of years, he couldn’t bear to be scolded like this.
I saw his eyes shining with cold light, and a frightening majesty burst out from his whole body: “King of Bravery! I now suspect that you are falsely passing on His Majesty’s oral instructions! Mobilizing food and grass to nourish the body is a big deal, let alone mobilizing 80 million kilograms in ten days. This will almost take away 90% of Youzhou’s food reserves. There is no imperial edict and just your empty words. I and the twenty-four governors of the county will not obey it, and the descendants of these thousand clans will not let you go!”
“Old Master Cai is right! Your Majesty is so powerful that the Northwest Army has millions of troops. Even the Guiluo Kingdom dare not act rashly! I feel that it is better to ask Your Majesty about mobilizing food and grass first, and then make a plan! This is too late!”
Li Jianming, the governor of Heishui County, echoed eloquently.
“What Governor Li said makes sense.”
Cai An, the governor of Jianye County, nodded and said: “As the saying goes, the three armies will go ahead before the food and grass are used. This food and grass is related to the victory or defeat of the war, but there must be no mistakes.”
“Yes! Please report to your majesty first.
Let’s talk
about it again!”
“Ask the brave king to bring you the imperial edict. I will definitely obey it
!
”
Come to the same front and fight against Lu Gan together.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Gan seemed to be under siege, being denounced and ostracized by everyone.
Lu Qian looked at the people in front of him who were talking righteously, their eyes narrowed, their lower abdomen contracted, and their chests bulged slightly.
“!”
When Xing Laodao saw it, he quickly summoned his strength and covered his ears.
The same is true for Li Zhangwu, Zhao Huolong and others.
Cai Zhenqing glanced out of the corner of his eye, his face changed slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
But the next moment, he seemed to have guessed something. His pupils shrank, and a blue water light spurted out from behind him, turning into an egg-shaped light shield, covering everyone in the hall.
Roar!
Almost at the same time, Lu Gan opened his mouth suddenly and let out an explosion like a tiger roaring in the forest. The sound waves visible to the naked eye were like violently oscillating water waves, impacting out in a fan shape.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
The entire birthday celebration hall seemed to be exploded by hundreds of thunderbolts and fireballs, and the glazed windows exploded into extremely fine glass fragments in an instant.
The surrounding hard stone walls also exploded, exploding into clouds of stone powder.
At the same time, the bricks on the roof cracked and collapsed, being hit by the rolling sound waves and directly shattered into powder.
Behind Lu Gan, the longevity peach as big as a water tank looked like cow dung exploded by firecrackers. It exploded instantly and sprayed juices everywhere.
The cups, plates, wine cups, soup bowls and porcelain basins at the banquet in the distance also smashed into pieces in the loud roar, and the wine and soup flew several meters high.
All the guests covered their ears, looked in pain, and ran away.
Immediately afterwards, a strong wind blew up, blowing away all the stone powder, glass slag, tiles, lanterns, and red paper…
When the voice slowly fell, the entire Cai family mansion felt like a hurricane passing through.
The flowers and grass were bare, the trees were bent down, the fish in the fish pond were overturned, and pieces of land were overturned, making it a mess.
Most of the more than 6,000 banquet tables were blown directly to the corner and piled together like garbage.
Others were blown outside the courtyard wall and flew hundreds of meters away.
In the main hall, the sun shines through the broken roof and shines on everyone.
“Hmph, are you competing with me?”
Lu Gan snorted coldly, flicked the corners of his clothes, and said something disdainfully.
Cai Zhenqing took back the Dharma image, and the anger in his heart was about to erupt like a volcano.
But at this moment, his face changed slightly and became extremely ugly.
Woo!
Woohoo!
Ohh Ohh ohh!
Outside Jianye County, the sound of the trumpet was loud and powerful, piercing the clouds and cracking the rocks.
Thanks to ‘Captain Cute’ and ‘Gentle as I am’ for the rewards. ^_^
