Yue Sui couldn't help but asked: "Your Highness Qinshan, this Chaozhou is your fiefdom after all. What good does it do you to kill like this?"

Qin Shan smiled and said: "You don't understand this. These people will only cause trouble to me when they are alive, but if they die, they will help me."

"Qin Yun knew that the Great Xia Navy was weak, so he deliberately provoked the One-Eye Alliance, causing the One-Eye Alliance to retaliate and massacre Chaozhou City for three days!"

"Tell me, if this king sends this memorial, what will the court say?"

Yue Sui paused: "The Great Xia court may not believe it."

Qin Shan said: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. As the nominal King of Zhennan, Qin Yun has the military power to control the thirteen states in the south. As long as something like this happens, the court will definitely hold him accountable and ask him to catch the murderer within a time limit. .”

"If he can't finish it, what do you think the court will do to him? Those aristocratic families who paid more taxes because of him, and those powerful people in the court who lost their interests because of his rise. Do you think they will make matters worse?"

Yue Sui couldn't help but give a thumbs up. In terms of ruthlessness, the person in front of him was still ruthless.

But what Yue Sui didn't know was that Qin Shan had no friendship with the bullshit Da Xia. His mother's family came from the Yuan family. The Yuan family was destroyed. His little hope of fighting for the throne had long been extinguished by Qin Yun. .

He hated Qin Yun, but this was just one of them. After all, he never thought that his small body could get the throne in the cruel battle for the throne.

He just wanted to be a free and happy prince. For this reason, he even took refuge in the legendary anti-king son, but Qin Yun actually hooked up with his princess.

Without the support of the Han family, even in name only, who is he?

In addition, Tanaka Haruko promised that he could get a place from the Fuso Empire in the future. But they need to submit a petition, and the soldiers and civilians of Chaozhou City have resisted Japanese pirates over the years and killed countless Japanese.

Slaughtering Chaozhou would not only embarrass Qin Yun, flatter Fusang Kingdom, but also relieve his anger. In Qin Shan's heart, it was just a massacre!

Qiu Wanning and Yue Suigen had no psychological burden. On the contrary, they had reasons.

Qin Yun deposed Qiu Wanning's son and killed Yue Sui's biological father, leaving him with the position of King of Yue that should have been within his reach.

They gathered together today, which felt a bit like the Avengers.

The two men no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the Wu soldiers to dress up as pirates and kill them. On this day, Chaozhou City flowed with blood, and no one, including men, women, old and young, was spared.

Qin Shan stood on the city wall, hugging Tanaka Haruko and laughing.

The blood energy soaring to the sky has not dissipated after four or five days, and the news of the massacre spread out under Qin Shan's instructions.

Go to the capital and go to the main hall.

"Snapped!"

Emperor Xia slammed the memorial to the ground.

"Reverse, reverse!"

"Who can tell me that a city in a state in Daxia was massacred without any warning!"

"One hundred thousand old, young, women and children were piled into a pile of bones!"

"You guys, talk!"

"Hong Haoxuan."

Hong Haoxuan knelt on the ground: "The crime of humble duty deserves death!"

He is still investigating the assassination of Shen Wansan, and now this major event has occurred that shocked the whole country. If this is not handled well, many heads will be lost.

"Come here, catch this trash Qin Shan back to me."

At this time, a minister said: "Your Majesty, Qinshan has been captured by thieves!"

"Thief, what kind of thief?"

A minister said: "It's the notorious pirates, the One-Eyed Alliance. This group of thieves owns hundreds of ships and more than 100,000 thieves. They have been making trouble along the coast. In recent years, our Daxia merchant ships and even official ships have been attacked many times. The other party plundered.”

"The reason for this massacre is because Qin Yun killed two of their leaders in Qiongzhou, and the massacre of Chaozhou was for revenge!"

Xu Jiang, who is now the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stood up and refuted.

"It's nonsense. Qin Yun is in Qiongzhou. He killed the opponent's leader. Why didn't the opponent go to find Qin Yun and massacre Chaozhou instead? It's too far-fetched!"

The official said: "Master Xu, you have just entered the capital as an official, and you don't know the cause of the matter. Qin Yun has a big murder weapon hidden in his hands. Maybe the thieves did not dare to invade, so they massacred Chaozhou City in revenge."

"Everyone born on the coast should know that these pirates are extremely rampant. If someone kills one of them, they will massacre the other person's village."

"It's just that in the past few years, the coastal states have chosen to settle the matter and give him some money to spend. Maybe Qin Yun doesn't understand the rules, and that's why he aroused public outrage."

Liu Yulin, who was demoted to the rank of doctor in the Ministry of War, cursed loudly.

"You bastard, you compromise with a thief and you have the nerve to shamelessly say it's a rule? What kind of rule is this!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, I will fight to get rid of these insects!"

Xu Jiang has always hated evil, otherwise he would not have been ostracized by the court because of Liu Shiqi's incident.

"Your Majesty, in addition to sending troops to quell the rebellion, we also need to investigate who has colluded with the pirates in recent years. The massacre of Chaozhou happened overnight. This proves that there are traitors in Chaozhou City. Please order a thorough investigation of this matter!"

"Yes, check, we must check!"

"War, we must destroy these beasts."

Many ministers in the court were filled with indignation.

Emperor Xia calmed down and slowly sat back in his seat.

"Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Yang An stood up and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, our Great Xia Navy has never been able to fight. Moreover, now the Wu Kingdom in the East County is conquering the seven countries, and there is still a war in the Western Regions, and the Northern Qi Dynasty is even more eyeing."

"If war breaks out again along the southeastern coast, Great Xia will be surrounded by enemies on all sides. I believe that peace is worse than war. Let these bandits hand over the culprits, and the court will order them to be safe. This will give an explanation to the world."

Liu Yulin yelled: "Yang An, you old fool, do you know what you are talking about?"

He is a Confucian general and has always been gentle and gentle, but this time he couldn't stand it in front of the emperor.

"Liu Yulin, you are talking nonsense in the court, do you still have His Majesty in your eyes?"

Qian Tiesheng, the head of the Qian family and the minister of punishment, stood up and said.

"I would like to ask Liu Yulin to be punished for his crime of roaring in the court and insulting a first-class official!"

"I second the proposal!"

The entire Qian family stood beside Yang An.

In fact, both Qian Tiesheng and Yang An knew very well that Emperor Xia needed a step down.

At this time, the imperial court could not fight, and it was impossible to fight against the pirates, but as the emperor, how could he retreat?

Yang An further said: "Your Majesty, if the war continues, the people will not be able to live in peace, and the coastal states are our most important source of finance and taxation in Great Xia. If we fail to pay them, the war will continue, which may harm the country!"

Emperor Xia glanced at Xu Jiang and the Bai family. He recruited Xu Jiang back to the capital in order to use Xu Jiang to suppress the Yang family and the Qian family, who were getting closer.

This is the art of the emperor, but what Yang An said now makes the most sense.

But at this moment, an official who did not belong to either faction said: "Your Majesty, I have a plan!"

"explain."

"Ninth Prince Qin Yun, didn't he declare in a memorial a few days ago that he wanted to open the Liang Kingdom? The court can only do this. If Qin Yun can wipe out the pirates, the court will allow him to establish a palace. Otherwise, let this matter go."

"No, since this matter was caused by Qin Yun, if he can't calm down, he should be severely punished. I think that I should give Qin Yun a high-pressure attitude and order him to wipe out the pirates before the end of the year, otherwise he will be stripped of the throne and exiled to the northwest!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

Not long after, there were echoes in the court hall. Even though Xu Jiang and others screamed, it was of no avail.

Emperor Xia slowly raised his eyes: "Since all the beloved ministers believe in Qin Yun so much, then I also believe in him and send an order to Qin Yun to put down the rebellion!"

"My emperor is wise!"



After the court ended, Xu Jiang was trembling with anger, and Liu Yulin beside him was also extremely lonely.

Working as an official with a bunch of insects, how can the court continue to run in this great summer?

"Master Xu, I'm sorry for you!"

Xu Jiang said indignantly: "Had I known this, I would rather hang myself in Luochuan than set foot in the capital again. You said that His Majesty seems to have changed over the years."

Liu Yulin pulled Xu Jiang and made a silent gesture.

"This is not a place for talking. If you come to the capital and haven't visited Master Shen yet, you might as well go!"

Xu Jiang said: "Okay!"

After the two left, a young eunuch slowly walked out of the hall behind him. He turned around and wrote something down and handed it to the sergeant beside him.

Not long after, the sergeant brought the things to the imperial study room.

Emperor Xia picked it up and looked at it and smiled: "It seems that some things cannot be hidden after all. Zheng'er, what do you think?"

At this time, a young man with sword-like eyes and eyebrows was standing next to Emperor Xia. He was handsome and had a heroic and domineering look between his eyebrows. He was Qin Zheng, the young master of Tingyu Tower.

Qin Zheng cupped his hands: "Father, now that the Iron Wolf King is dead, those who opposed my father at the beginning will either be demoted or crippled. So what if they find out?"

Emperor Xia sighed: "Yes, so what if you know, but these years I can hardly tell the difference! Zheng'er, originally I didn't want you to show up so soon, but the mother and son of the Xiao family are too cruel , my body, cough cough..."

Qin Zheng: "Father, I will call the imperial doctor immediately!"

Emperor Xia waved his hand: "No need! I will announce your identity on the day of your wedding to Bai Wanqing and promote you to the throne of Crown Prince."

Qin Zheng's eyes lit up, but then he showed a nonchalant look.

"My son is used to being wild. He can't stand the rules of this palace. My father is in great power and he still wants to quarrel with these ministers. I don't understand why he doesn't just kill those disobedient people!"

Emperor Xia shook his head with a smile: "Your ninth brother once said something. He said that governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies. I think this is very reasonable. Daxia is not a small Tingyulou, let alone a pity student. Jiao, Daxia has you, my father, all the great families, and people of all sizes."

"The reason why I let you grow up outside the palace is to let you see all kinds of things in the world and know the vicissitudes of the world. Only in this way can you become the emperor of my Great Xia through the ages, and be able to sweep across the eight wastelands and the world!"

"My son, please remember your instructions!"

Emperor Xia smiled: "It's good that you know. By the way, I ask you, what do you think of Yun'er?"

Qin Zheng: "The ninth brother is smart and courageous. My father gave him the Liang Kingdom Order. Naturally, I will not take it back in the future. He will be my sharp sword in Daxia, and I will definitely give him the best treatment."

Emperor Xia shook his head: "You are wrong. I can't see through this son. He is your brother, but I don't want to see the clan fighting anymore and consuming the power of my country. I will arrange everything for you. I will bear this infamy!"

Qin Zheng paused: "Father, I am more worried about Qin Zhan than Qin Yun. After all, he is not my father's biological son!"

Emperor Xia gave a bitter smile: "Yes, if Zhan'er were not of my blood, I would have made him the prince long ago, but don't worry, he doesn't have the guts."

Qin Zheng smiled and said: "Actually, if I don't know my identity, I can just be an ordinary person all the time. But my father chose to tell me all this, so I naturally have to stand up and relieve my worries for Daxia and my father." !”

Xia Huang said: "Please step back and visit your master more often."

Qin Zheng said: "No!"
