C186

"Under the orders of the Emperor: Thirty-six dukes, Hong Yu, has been keeping a low profile since childhood, keeping a clear mind and protecting your health. This shows your wisdom, and recently you have been diligently working as a servant, repeatedly contributing meritorious services. "With the rewards of the meritorious service and punishment, I will not hesitate to reward you with wealth, nor will I bury any of your meritorious service. I will work diligently for you in the future, work for the common people, and handle matters for the imperial government."

The eunuch recited the imperial edict, and Hong Yu immediately knew that this was also the New Deal. From top to bottom, the imperial edict was written in plain and simple vernacular.

"Congratulations, Master Thirty-Six, to be greatly praised by the Heavenly Emperor. Although the title of Master Thirty-Six is already a duke and could never be promoted, the Heavenly Emperor does not care much about the rewards and rewards. There are still five hundred God Arms Crossbows, ten thousand Evil Breaking Talisman arrows, a thousand Thousand Refined Blood Iron Sabres, and the land deed of a manor in the capital city. All these have been allocated for Master Thirty-Six to receive them."

"Men, reward the public." Hong Yu had known about this for a long time, so he wasn't surprised. He only waved his hand, and a warrior naturally took out a stack of banknotes and handed it over.

"Thank you, Master Thirty-Six." The eunuch wasn't polite and didn't hesitate to accept it in front of so many people.

It was a common practice for eunuchs to leave the palace to attend to errands, especially in places like this. It would take a lot of time and effort to travel back and forth between the palace and the capital. However, all of this had to be recorded in the records, reported to the imperial government's supervisory authority, and a certain amount of tax had to be paid before it could be used.

Your Highness, that thirty-six seems to have a lot of money. He has a lot of capital, and he can even admire a eunuch for over a hundred thousand yuan. It's a lot of money." "He seems to have made a windfall. The reason why I went to the Explosive Center in Long County was because I wanted to seize the treasure of his Demonic Sect's godly temple, but in the end, it was all for naught. The treasury was empty, and now I think it was all because of him. With such a treasure trove in your majesty's hands, our strength will definitely rise another notch.

"Humph?!" Your sword family is also trash, and actually allowed the thirty-sixth elder to snatch away my treasury. " The thirty-fifth prince, Hong YuanTu, immediately thought of a lot of information. The murderous intent in his heart gradually intensified.

According to his intelligence, there were tens of millions of treasures in the treasury of the Demonic Sect's temple.

This was absolutely a huge amount of wealth. Right now, he was only a prince, and he did not even have the title of duke. The monthly allowance was only a few thousand yuan, and it was not even worth it.

If he wanted to shake off the control of the sword family and the imperial concubine, he would have to cultivate his trusted subordinates, form a clique in private, make friends with ministers in the imperial court, and weave experts in the people.

Originally, after coming to the border, he and Imperial Concubine Jian reached an agreement, and the treasures in the godly treasury were collected by the sword master, who then gave them all to him without taking a single cent. But now that Sir Jian mentioned it, all of the treasures here had fallen into the hands of Hong Yu, causing him to be infuriated, he rushed forward a few times, captured Hong Yu, and then interrogated him about the whereabouts of the treasures, and all of them were taken into his own name.

With tens of millions in his hands, he could create many great powers in one fell swoop. Experts came to invest in him, and ministers came to support him. He could accomplish many great things.

"Old Thirty-Six, you and I are irreconcilable." He could almost hear the blood dripping from his heart. After which, he shifted his gaze to the Second Prince, Hong Futian, and asked the sword teacher: "Sir, when will the second brother's promised Tai Ah Sword be delivered to us? Is he trying to stall for time and not keep his promise? "

"Your Highness, you are right. I have already come into contact with him several times over the past few days. However, based on his tone, I do not wish to fulfill his promise and hand over the Tai Ah Sword." Teacher Jian said, "This person is capricious and sinister. He definitely knows that this sword has an extraordinary meaning to Your Highness. How can he do something like that? "As far as I know, the ugly things he did in Liangzhou and the evil things he did were in the end impossible to deal with. Some of the officials of the imperial court knew a little about it and impeached him to the emperor. I'm afraid the emperor has even issued a decree reprimanding this person."

"Second brother, damn it!" Blood dripped from Hong YuanTu's heart as he stared at his second brother, Hong Futian. His entire body was emitting a terrifying killing intent.

"Your Highness, His Highness has his eyes on you. I'm afraid that he will be dissatisfied or even hostile towards you for going back on your word." Behind the second brother, Hong Fu Tian, the trusted general Fu Cheng walked up. With a sneer on his face, he said, "Holding Tai'a in your hands, giving it to others? The ancients know the meaning of these words, how can we not know? How could he really give this sword to this person to help him achieve his climate and complete his divine technique? Your Highness, you've done well. "

"Well, that's not the point. Even if it is thirty five or thirty-six years old, they are still too young for me to pose much of a threat. What I am afraid of is royal father and the imperial court. " He felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, and an ominous feeling rose in his heart, "Until now, the eunuch who gave out the decree still did not let us get up. I'm afraid that there might be a decree from him, and it might even have something to do with me. "After all, I've really gone too far with raising bandits in Liangzhou. I'm afraid it'll be hard for me to hide from my father's eyes and ears …"

Even the only person who knew about it, the alien Marshal Moka, was silenced by the sword family's expert. Even if there was any gossip, it would not be able to pose a threat to his majesty. Without evidence, even if it was the Emperor, what can he do about it? Fu Cheng was very confident and showed that he was capable of dominating the Mo family. He was very generous and said, "As long as this marriage between Mo Ning Xiang and His Highness is completed, the entire Mo family will be able to be under your command. What kind of achievement is this? It's enough to cover up all of His Highness' past faults. "

"But I'm still a bit worried …" Hong Futian pretended to inadvertently raise his head to observe his surroundings, just in time to meet Li Muyue's gaze. He saw her sneering at him and immediately had a bad premonition.

"The decree is to support the Heavenly King in receiving the decree."

"The imperial edict has arrived. Duke Yu has received it."

As expected, just as Hong Yu received the imperial edict and many other reward list books, another two voices rang out.

Moreover, it was two voices.

Three royal decrees were consecutively sent out in a single day!

"Another decree? The second brother, Hong Fu Tian, had his own way of doing things? " Hong Yu was startled and quickly kneeled on the ground again. At this moment, Eunuch Bo appeared in the distance and divided into two sides, one way going in front of him and the other way, he arrived in front of the second prince, Hong Futian.

"The Heavenly Emperor ordered: Second Prince Hong Futian, under my orders to govern Liangzhou several years ago, I had high hopes for you. However, you are really out of date, every day the situation in Liangzhou falls, a few months there will be chaos in the Demonic Sect, and the alien race is rampant in Liangzhou." The Heavenly Emperor ordered: Second Prince Hong Futian, under my orders to govern Liangzhou, a few years ago, under my orders, I had high hopes for you. I have told you all that the imperial court would reward you well and would not bury your achievements, nor let your faults be forgiven. "

The eunuch, who was walking towards Second Prince Hong Futian, read the decree first. Then, he looked at the paralyzed Hong Futian, revealing a cold smile: "Supporting the Sky King, are you still not going to accept the decree to thank me? Oh, by the way, you are no longer a duke. The emperor had entrusted me with taking off your prince's hat, removing your right to perform recitals, as well as paying a fine of fifty million as a reward for the disaster in Liangzhou. "Thunder rain and dew, both are a sign of grace. Your majesty, you wouldn't reject it, right?"

"Oh my god! The title of Sky King had been taken away? Didn't this mean that he had lost his power? Aren't there only two left in the three heavenly layers in the future? "

"Fifty million! Fine! My god, what kind of astronomical amount is this?!" It's almost equivalent to the tax revenue of the whole of Liang Prefecture for five years.

As soon as the old eunuch spoke, a huge uproar was set off. Mad discussions broke out in the crowd, and even Hong Yu was startled.

He knew that the old eunuch was not lying. The punishment shown in his words had the style of a Hongwu Emperor, was just and decisive, had merits that could only be rewarded, had the necessary punishment, and dared to betray the imperial court. Even if there was no substantial evidence, he would still write down his decree, take off your hat, and copy all of the cream you had collected, leaving you with nothing to say.

"Damn it!" It was indeed that slut Li Muyue. She was the one who snitched on the Emperor, and only if she was heavily doted on by others, would the Emperor believe her words without a doubt. If you take off my title as a duke, it would already be a great shame and humiliation. You even want me to pay a fine of 50 million yuan to help those lowly commoners … Fifty million yuan. All of the wealth that I collected in Liangzhou in the past few years added up together is not that much. This is trying to take my life! "

"Your Highness, you can't act rashly. This is the will of the Emperor, and you can't disobey his orders. If you can't suppress your killing intent, no one can save you from this place, not even your mother."

Only then did the Second Prince, Hong Futian, calm down. He stood up to receive the decree with a gloomy face, "Your son has received the decree."

At this time, there were naturally people who came to demand his Royal Medallion, Imperial Medallion, Imperial Clothing, and many other printed letters. They also ordered him to set a fine of fifty million banknotes with a deadline of three months.

All of this was accomplished through humiliation. Even the soldiers beside him could clearly feel the bone-chilling coldness emanating from him. It was extremely terrifying, as if it could freeze their hearts.

Just at this moment, another group of eunuchs walked up to Hong Yu, took out an imperial decree, and read out the decree:

"The Heavenly Emperor ordered me to kill all of them. Old Thirty-Six, I have already seen the memorial you sent me the day before yesterday. I have long since fulfilled my goal of destroying a hundred families and reigning in their martial arts, and I also do not wish to kill all of them. When the war is over, you can go to the floating city of the Mo family and accept the surrender of the Mo family. If it is successful, it will be another great achievement. "

This time, it was truly like a thunderclap that had been stirred up. The sound of frantic discussion that practically exploded throughout the entire arena caused Hong Yu's heart to be greatly shocked.

Almost everyone had seen the intention of Emperor Hong Wu. While suppressing Hong Futian, he did not hesitate to praise Hong Yu and even entrusted a heavy responsibility to him.

Two decrees, one after the other, and the relationship is worth pondering.

"Could it be that the Sky King has lost his power and the thirty-sixth prince is about to rise?" This thought appeared in everyone's mind. Their eyes were burning with passion as they looked at Hong Yu.

Hong Yu was also deep in thought and felt the meaning within it.

He also didn't expect that the paper money given out three days ago would fall into the hands of the Hongwu Emperor. Even more so, he didn't expect that the Hongwu Emperor would pass on the imperial edict and the punishment decree to him one after the other.

It's not surprising that the message is swift." The imperial government's important intelligence reports all had a secret channel or a water route. One day, thousands of miles away, there would be a 'mail boat' of the Flood Dragon Armor Breaking Boat, or a land route that had gained intelligence, training, a hawk comparable to a monster, and even a faster 'Thousand Li Sound Transmission Talisman'. This was the latest technology of the imperial government's Divine Arts Academy.

These things were not considered shocking, but what truly shocked people was the contents of the decree!

The imperial government actually wanted him to handle the matter of Cheng'an accepting the Mo family.

The Mo family was a family with a thousand years of history. Above the treasured floating city, there were millions of citizens. In fact, it was comparable to a country. The relationship must be complicated and difficult to sort out. Putting aside the fact that the First Prince was present among the citizens, he was determined to obtain this city. To do this was like stealing food from the mouth of a tiger, and he would definitely try his best to obstruct them. And in the Mo family, they were definitely not as rigid as one another. This could be seen just from the fact that someone was matchmaking the marriage between Old Second Brother Hong Fu Tian and Mo Ning Xiang.

Almost everyone in the Mo family was a skilled craftsman. The puppets produced by the Mo family could attract countless forces from both the sea and the sea to pursue them. In these years, the Mo family had also gained a lot of benefits from this.

The Second Prince, Hong Futian, was being punished by Emperor Hong Wu for the disaster with 50 million yuan in banknotes, and it could be said that this amount of money would have to be provided by the Mo family. If Hong Yu were to interfere in the matter, the marriage between Hong Fantian and Mo Ningxiang would be ruined, and this was something he could not tolerate.

Not only that, many powers in the imperial court wanted to share a piece of the Mo family's spoils. These were all great resistance.

Of course, Hong Yu also sensed the great benefits from this. If he could complete this task, not only would he be able to obtain the support of the Mo family, he would also be able to further consolidate his position and continue to strengthen his power.

He had killed many demons in the Liang Prefecture, even the Ape Clan's godly envoy and his old mother. However, in the eyes of many powerful figures in the Imperial Court, this was nothing but a small matter.

Even the thousands of elite forces that he had nurtured were nothing compared to those rich and powerful princes and princes who had many years of experience. They were like ants at the foot of a giant elephant.

However, Hongwu Emperor said, "we can go to the floating city of the Mo family, accept the Mo family's surrender, and then form the Divine Arts Academy." This was his great opportunity.

What kind of organization was the Divine Arts Academy? If he could really complete the matter of recruiting the Mo family, relying on the mechanical puppet techniques that the Mo family had mastered since ancient times, he could establish his own organization. Like the Divine Arts Academy, he could immediately enter the imperial court and stand up to many powerful figures.

The message from the imperial edict was extremely tempting. However, Hong Yu also knew that along with the temptation was great danger. Although the decree didn't end there, everyone knew that if this matter was not completed, the punishment would definitely not be small.

This was a further test of his ability.

Hong Yu couldn't refuse it, and he didn't want to refuse it either. Although this matter was difficult, the benefits were great as well. With this decree in hand, at least the other princes wouldn't dare to act against the Mo family, and 80% of the Mo family wouldn't dare to lay down their olive branches to the other princes.

"Dammit, royal father is forcing me to death! Old Thirty-Six was also a petty person who was overbearing and dared to meddle in the matter between me and the Mo family. I will bear the loss of my title as the Prince, but how can I complete the fifty million fine without the financial support of the Mo family? "

When he heard this imperial edict, the Second Prince, Hong Futian, exploded into a rage as his entire body erupted with an endless amount of precious glazed light. He was about to make a move and completely kill Hong Yu, Li Muyue, and the others who were present.
