You must know that the emperor is not like other people. Many times, his actions cannot be based entirely on personal preferences.
With the cultivation of the strongest man in the world and as an emperor, it is actually quite easy for him to get rid of the Chu family and recover the salt and iron wealth. However, he still asked Sang Hong to take action and used various conspiracies to disintegrate the Chu family from within and unite with other people. In the final analysis, the family's decision to deal with the Chu family is to find a justifiable reason.
With this legitimate reason, even if it cannot be concealed from the people who are interested in the court, it can be convinced by everyone in the world. This is the established rule in the court.
Otherwise, everyone in the world will question the rationality of your actions, and the foundation of the entire dynasty's rule will be shaken.
Although you are strong enough to suppress everything, what about your descendants? What will happen to the country’s operations in the future?
Therefore, Sang Hong was extremely puzzled. Based on his understanding of the emperor, he would never do such an unwise thing on impulse and attract endless criticism. Otherwise, there would be no need to send himself to Mingyue City.
After much deliberation, there is only one explanation. Zu An is extremely important to the emperor. Its importance not only exceeds that of the Chu family, but even exceeds anything he can imagine, which is why the emperor is so rude.
"What did this guy give to the emperor?" At first, he sneered at the reason given by King Liang, but now he believed it.
Sang Qian on the side was dumbfounded. He finally understood why his father was so afraid of those embroidered messengers, each of whom was only fifth or sixth grade.
But he reacted immediately and said ecstatically: "Wouldn't that be beneficial to us? Now that the emperor's attention is entirely on Zu An, maybe he won't punish us so severely?"
Sang Hong smiled bitterly and said: "If only it were that simple, because the one who really wants us to die was never the emperor..."
Sang Qian was startled and hurriedly asked what was going on, but Sang Hong stopped answering him and just thought about something with a worried look on his face. Obviously he knew that telling his son was not only useless, but would make him mentally broken.
Zheng Dan, who was in another prison car, heard the conversation between the two. He tightly grasped the fence of the prison car with his delicate fingers, and his brows were filled with worry: "Azu..."
Zu An, who was hiding on the other side of the city, looked extremely pale at this time. The content of the imperial decree just now floated in the air, and everyone in the city saw it, so he was not surprised.
Thinking of the emperor's fleeting display of coercion, he felt a sense of powerlessness. With the absolute gap in strength, resourcefulness did not have much effect, and he could not see any way out.
At this time, Mi Li on the side couldn't help but sigh: "What do you want me to say? Why do you always seek death like this and provoke all kinds of powerful guys?"
Thinking about how many times you have encountered this kind of situation since you made the soul contract with him?
This guy is obviously not very strong, but every time he provokes enemies who are far beyond his cultivation level.
"Sister Queen, can you defeat this emperor?" Zu An asked with a hint of fantasy.
Mi Li rolled her eyes: "You provoked the enemy yourself, why do you ask me if you can beat me?"
Zu An said: "Aren't we two grasshoppers on the same rope now? You won't be much better off if I die."
Mi Li snorted: "If it were my heyday, I wouldn't be incapable of fighting, but now, don't think about it, there is no hope, just wait to die."
Zu An: "..."
Sister, do you want to be so direct?
Mi Li was a little curious: "Speaking of which, I didn't see you so afraid when you faced me. Is it because I'm pretty and not fierce enough?"
"Sister Queen, you have learned my shamelessness after being with me for a long time." Zu An couldn't help but complain, can this be the same? He had a rich woman's happy ball at the beginning, so he didn't have to be afraid of women no matter how high they were. But facing the Emperor of Zhou, obviously there was no way to do that.
Mi Li was obviously not interested in getting to the bottom of it: "Actually, you don't have to worry so much. At worst, you can hide in a deep mountain. The world is so big, they may not be able to find you. No matter how hard you practice your Phoenix Nirvana Sutra and Hongmeng Yuanshi Sutra, , one day, there will be no need to fear that emperor."
Zu An's eyes lit up: "How long will it take to practice to that point?"
Mi Li glanced at him: "With your current qualifications, and my training on the side, eight hundred years at a time, five hundred years at the earliest should be about the same."
Zu An: "..."
Let alone whether you can live that long, even if you can live that long and hide in the mountains and forests for hundreds of years, what's the point of living like that?
Mi Li yawned and stretched lazily: "I'm tired, so I'll go back to sleep. Take care of yourself."
After saying that, the figure disappeared.
Zu An had to admit that a beautiful person can be so beautiful and moving even if she makes any random movements. But sister, can you please stop being so irresponsible and just leave like this?
At least you can comfort my injured little heart, right?
You can't beat the emperor, why don't you just give me a hug of love and encourage me.
Complaints are complaints, you still have to think of your own solution.
Suddenly something moved in his mind. He called up the keyboard background system and found that there were still 77,589 anger points.
There is no other way but to try your luck!
Zu An hurriedly found a washbasin to wash his face and hands. He even took out incense candles and incense from the glass orbs and lit them. Then he took out a few more vessels and put on them cow heads, sheep heads, and pig heads - he always felt that his prayers were not solemn enough in the past. , so when I had the conditions, I bought a lot of things and put them away. Anyway, the inside of the glass orb is a vacuum environment.
Not afraid of damage.
After a while of busy work, a tribute table was quickly made.
Zu An prayed for a while, and then the lottery started.
Thank you for participating...Thank you for participating...Vital Fruit...Thank you for participating...Vital Fruit...
Seeing these things, Zu An secretly clenched his fists.
In fact, for him now, there is not much difference between a vitality fruit and a thank you for participating. Anyway, it is a drop in the bucket for the astronomical amount he needs to upgrade.
Suddenly his eyes lit up, because the lottery cursor kept rotating, and finally landed on the "M" key.
Notice that the virtual screen of the keyboard displays only a hat. This hat is actually very ordinary in shape and is no different from what you see in daily life, but the biggest difference is its color.
All green!
It was also green and bright, as if someone was looking at it. The green light flowed on the surface of the hat, and finally gathered at a point like a shining star.
Zu An was confused, what is this? Why does it feel so similar to the one I gave to Sang Qian before?
However, the system is definitely not that simple.
He hurriedly read the instructions below.
Congratulations on winning the "Forgiveness Hat"!
Introduction to Forgiveness Hat: "Spring is here, everything revives, and everything that should be green is green. If you want to live a decent life, you must have a little green on your head. What should you do if one day you know the cruel truth? Of course. Forgive her/him!"
Instructions for use: "Disposable item, put this on the target, and the target will forgive you, no matter what mistakes you make."
Zu An: "..."
He almost squirted, what such a nonsensical thing? He had some doubts about how evil the creator of this system was.
He felt a little headache. He put hats on others and never had to worry about whether he would forgive me or not. The function of this thing was a bit useless.
Wait, what if I...
While he was deep in thought, a faint voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "So this is your trump card."
Zu An was startled and looked back quickly, only to find Mi Li sitting on the tribute table nearby. Her fingers were gently stroking the incense candles and other things on the table, and her long legs were swaying casually in the air.
"Sister Queen, aren't you asleep?" Zu An's head jumped and he asked hurriedly.
A mysterious smile appeared on Mi Li's face: "Don't trust women easily, especially a beautiful woman like me."
