Chapter 229: A Wise Leader
The wealthy and powerful people who were preparing to leave Baiyujing were stunned and didn't know what to do next.
The reason they wanted to flee Baiyujing was because there were demons and monsters causing trouble here, but when they were about to leave the city, they were shocked to find that these demons and monsters were also fleeing outside the city.
There are so many monsters and demons outside the city now, so should we escape outside the city or go back into the city?
"Kill, kill, kill. Don't let any monster go."
"His Majesty said, kill them all, leave no one alive."
"Haha, these idiots are still trying to flee Baiyujing. It's much more dangerous outside the city than inside. They are really a bunch of idiots."
"Even His Majesty didn't believe it. You deserve to have been on the run for so long. Baiyujing is now safer than ever before."
……
Soon a large number of imperial warriors and demon-suppressing men chased out. Looking at the imperial warriors and demon-suppressing men madly killing demons and monsters, the fleeing powerful and wealthy people were speechless for a long time.
Although they were ridiculed, they also confirmed one thing, that is, the imperial court had wiped out all the demons and monsters in the city, and even killed them so that they fled everywhere.
This means that the city is safe and they can go back.
But what is going on? Isn't it said that the imperial court is no match for so many monsters and demons? Why are these monsters and demons killed by the imperial court and forced to escape from Baiyujing?
After finding out what had happened, these people suddenly realized that the Emperor had been prepared and had quietly eliminated those high-level monsters, leaving only some low-level monsters.
A large number of warriors were arranged to deal with these demons and monsters. As soon as they started to cause chaos, they were surrounded and could not escape at all, let alone kill or burn people. In the end, they were killed to pieces and had to fight desperately to find a way to survive and escape outside of Baiyujing.
Even so, facing the court warriors and masters of the Demon Suppression Bureau who were chasing them, not many of the hundreds of thousands of demons and monsters could escape. Most of them were killed, and only a small number escaped.
After a night of shouting and killing, more than 90% of the hundreds of thousands of demons and monsters died. The entire Baiyu Kyoto became quiet, and there was no trace of any demons or monsters.
After all these years since Daning was established, this is the first time that Baiyujing has been so clean. It is so clean that even the civil and military officials in the court are not used to it.
"I bow to my emperor. Long live the emperor!"
At the morning court session the next day, hundreds of civil and military officials knelt down together. Even the most important ministers, which was extremely rare, bowed down to Lu Changjing and saluted respectfully.
Lu Changjing raised his right hand: "Everyone, please stand up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the civil and military officials in the court stood up and looked at Lu Changjing without the helplessness they had before.
I used to think that His Majesty the Emperor was going from one extreme to another and acting too radically, but now I realize that His Majesty had always been confident.
What they did before was rather like those of a clown. Fortunately, His Majesty did not listen to them, otherwise there would not have been yesterday's great victory.
After listening to the proposal, Lu Changjing issued another order: "From today on, vigorously promote the demon-killing order and kill all the demons and monsters in the territory of Daning. All the areas occupied by demons and monsters must be reclaimed."
"If there are places that cannot be recovered, you can report them to me and I will send people to deal with them. If there are still officials who dare to compromise and make deals with demons and monsters, they will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as these words were spoken, no court official objected, and all the civil and military officials in the court bowed down in unison: "We will follow your Majesty's orders." Compared with the past, these court officials seemed to have gone from one extreme to another.
After Lu Changjing left, many court officials were amazed.
"Your Majesty is truly amazing. He has eliminated so many high-level demons and monsters without making any noise. Hundreds of thousands of demons and monsters have all been killed. Looking back at the past few dynasties, no emperor has been able to achieve such a feat as Your Majesty."
"We have killed many level 20 demon lords before, and this time we killed so many more. Almost two-thirds of the demons and monsters above level 10 in Daning have been killed, and the remaining ones can no longer cause any trouble."
"If I had known that His Majesty was so confident, I would not have repeatedly advised him. I didn't expect that we were the clowns and His Majesty had arranged everything properly."
……
Lu Changjing's prestige both inside and outside the court has further increased dramatically, and some people have even shouted the slogan of making him the greatest emperor of all time.
Fighting the Blood Barbarians, the Sakura Tribe, the Universe, the Great Jin and the Great Song… In just a few years, the Daning Dynasty was invincible, and defeated the forces that had always bullied them before, and some were even on the verge of being exterminated.
Now even the demons and monsters in the territory have been mostly cleared out, making the entire Daning much cleaner. Countless common people have escaped the threat of demons and monsters and can live in peace.
He even reduced a lot of taxes so that the people could live and work in peace.
The originally shaky Da Ning Dynasty became stable in just a few years, and even made the surrounding countries dare not act rashly. This had never happened in thousands of years.
Daning has been bullied too many times over the years and has endured it too many times. Many court officials have been enduring it since their ancestors and have continued to endure it until now, their grandchildren. Finally, they don’t have to endure it anymore.
Sweep away the chronic illness and be wise and brave!
Not only did the whole court of civil and military officials, and people at home and abroad, were shocked by this, but the concubines in the harem were also overwhelmed. As soon as she returned to the imperial study, she saw the Imperial Noble Consort Rong Xiyao coming in: "Your Majesty is wise and unparalleled, and I admire you very much."
Today, the Imperial Concubine is wearing a light blue palace dress, which is exquisitely embroidered with a light pink flower that gives a cool and refreshing feeling and is placed under the left corner of her waist.
The seams of the clothes are tightly gathered, outlining a winding curve like flowing water. The neck is slightly open, tending to climb up and roll with the wind, which is very comfortable.
Her long, soft black hair was casually tied up, intertwining and flowing layer by layer. Her beautiful little face was tilted upwards, and her clear black eyes were full of admiration.
It was rare to see the Imperial Concubine showing such an expression. Lu Changjing felt his heart beating fast. He smiled and moved closer, holding the cherry pink in his mouth.
Rong Xiyao couldn't help but actively cater to him, more actively than before...
Half an hour later, Rong Xiyao left the imperial study. She felt a little dazed, her delicate face full of joy, and her love for Lu Changjing rose to a higher level.
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful. Now the people of the world are all grateful to Your Majesty. Even my father thinks that Your Majesty is the most capable emperor in the past dynasties. It won't be long before Your Majesty can become the greatest emperor of Daning in history."
Not long after Rong Xiyao left, Imperial Concubine Tang Qingyi also arrived, and she took the initiative to throw herself into Lu Changjing's arms, which was rare.
How could Lu Changjing not eat the beauty that was delivered to his mouth? So he immediately started a verbal battle and looked for grapes...
