Yes, after taking the land of Bashu, I did not think about eating a fat man in one go, and took down Xiao Xian directly. It was not that I could not take it down, but that there was no need for this for the time being. What I needed was control, and that the entire land of China under my control could be firmly controlled in my palms, rather than saying that after occupation, I had to put out the fire everywhere.

The task now is to vigorously develop the land of Bashu. In the next two to three years, the cement straight road between the main county seats of Bashu will be fully connected. At the same time, the road to entering Shu must be transformed, and within five years, the difficult road to Shu will become a smooth road.

With gunpowder and experience in cultivating Taoism and building tunnels, it is no longer so difficult to build a new Shu Road. What's more, so many surrendered soldiers from Bashu were captured, so naturally they could not be put back to their countryside at once, as something might happen.

Therefore, nearly 100,000 people were reorganized into engineers, which will contribute their efforts and sweat to the construction of the four modernizations of Bashu. In addition, there will be 100,000 Shu troops to be reorganized into the series of the Chinese Revival Army.

However, these 100,000 Shu troops will only stay in Chang'an for training for two to three months, and then they will go south, wait for time, and implement the strategy of my master's southward entry into Lingnan.

Of the remaining 150,000, 70% were forced to be collected. After giving some money, they were dismissed back to their hometowns. The remaining part will enter various government agencies and enterprises of the Chinese Empire and work hard for the future of Bashu.

Now, General Qu Tu has led the army back, and General Zong Luo Sui has become the commander of the Bashu Military Region. His mission is to guard Bashu after he prevents Xiao Xian from attacking. In addition, he has built a dock in Ba County and began to train the navy in secret to prepare for his future southward journey.

The three guard divisions under Bashu Commissioner Huangfu Wuyi have all been split into battalions according to the Guanzhong model and stationed in various counties in Bashu to appease the earthquake and capture the areas.

But what I didn't expect was that after Qu Tutong returned with great victory, he actually thought about retiring, and wanted to return to old age. I was dizzy and heard the news. Seeing General Qu Tu who was only in his early fifties, with a hair-bearded and creamy hair, but strong and healthy, eating a pound of meat in one meal, I was very amused and crying.

"... Please let Your Majesty know." Qu Tutong raised the corner of his eyes and glanced at me, then continued to look serious.

This young master looked dark and glanced at the civil and military ministers with strange expressions, and couldn't help but say helplessly: "I said General, I remember someone told me that in order to show that he was not convinced of his old age, General Qu Tu ate and lived with the soldiers. He could eat pounds of meat for a meal and could drive a three-stone hard bow. As a result, in a blink of an eye, he actually wanted to retire?"

Qu Tutong seemed to be touched. He turned his head and looked at these civil and military ministers. There were many young faces among them. Then he replied to me seriously: "Your Majesty, the old man is old, and now he has helped Your Majesty complete the Bashu strategy. The old man finally breathed a sigh of relief. Once this anger was released, people felt that it was impossible. I would like to ask Your Majesty to accept the old man's retirement so that those younger generations can have the opportunity to make achievements."

Looking at Qu Tutong and looking at the expressions revealed by the civil and military ministers, I sighed lightly and shook my head slightly: "General, your family, can you still regard me as the founding emperors since ancient times?"

I saw Qu Tutong open his mouth to tell, so I raised my hand to stop him, and at the same time I looked at all the civil and military officials present, including Han Shiyan and Yang Shidao, who had been with me for several years.

I stood up and walked to Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng stood up with some difficulty and waited for me.

"Wei Qing, I have a question. Please give Wei Qing advice." I smiled at him and said seriously.

Although Wei Zheng was suspicious, he still solemnly bowed to me and said, "I dare not take it, please tell me bluntly."

"How long has it been since the founding of the Chinese Empire? How long has it been since I established the land of Guanzhong?"

"Your Majesty ascended the throne and China has been established for less than half a year. Your Majesty has established himself in Guanzhong. If it is calculated based on Chang'an, it should be one year and seven months." Wei Zheng continued to answer.

"So, since you entered the officialdom, have I ever spoken of sinners and acted as a crime?" I asked again. When I heard this question, everyone couldn't help but start to be confused and moved.

"No." Wei Zheng took a deep breath, his eyes lit up and said.

I turned around and looked at Qu Tutong's face that seemed a little excited. Looking at the moving and vivid faces, I said word by word: "When I was ascending the throne, I had an oath that the Magna Carta of the Chinese Empire is the foundation of the founding of my Chinese Empire. The binding force of this Magna Carta not only restrains you pillars of the country, but also restrains my people..."

"You are my loyal ministers and the backbone of the Chinese Empire. What do I want to do? Do you want to be the so-called founding wise rulers who are free from death and have all the birds hidden?" An unknown anger arose in my heart. I was so panicked that my heart, liver, stomach and lungs seemed to explode.

I pulled out the treasure sword Hanzhang on my waist, shouted fiercely, and slashed the desk in front of my position with just one knife, and the strong dragon case was divided into two pieces and fell to the ground in an uproar.

The civil and military officials in the hall "Your Majesty" couldn't help but exclaim loudly, and even stood up one after another.

"Please quit the anger of thunder, and I would like to ask your Majesty to forgive me." At this time, Wei Zheng strode out and quickly knelt down on the ground.

I raised my head with the horizontal knife in my hand. This knife finally made my heart feel relieved and anger seem to be vented. I gradually calmed down. I became this emperor and did many things that I was not understood but had to do.

Every time, I need countless patient explanations to make them reluctantly do it, and even unable to understand my thoughts.

Do they just don’t understand what I think at all? For China, for Huanghuang, and for China thousands of years later, no one can understand it?

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger." The voices of all the ministers rang out again. I slowly and heavily turned around. The burden on my shoulders was so heavy that I could hardly breathe. This is why I would rather be at home than stay here.

Looking at the faces, I sighed, threw away the knife in my hand, opened my mouth, but didn't know what to say, so I could only smile bitterly. "I am not Goujian, nor Liu Bang. I don't know how to cook a rabbit and a dog. I don't want to do it, and I don't want to do it."

"Your Majesty..." Qu Tutong, who was crying, bowed deeply to the ground. "The old minister deserves to die for thousands of crimes, but the old minister should not have ulterior motives. He has to take His Majesty for his own selfishness. The old minister deserves to die for thousands of crimes."

Seeing Qu Tutong like this, scenes of past flashed in front of him, whether it was Qu Tutong, Han Shiyan, Yang Shidao, Li Xuanba, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui... They are all heroes and famous ministers and generals of this era. They also long to see a new future, but they have never seen the future, and they cannot escape the limitations of this era.

What are you blamed on them? They blamed on them not knowing me? Haha, sometimes, I can’t even understand myself, but now, I have reached this position. Can I still retreat? Or do I leave with a casual and relaxed position?

"Your Majesty, please calm your majesty." Wei Zheng shouted loudly again: "For the people of the world and for the welfare of our people in China, please calm your majesty's wrath of thunder."

This sentence is deafening, and yes, it has done this step. Why not continue to do it? Even if it is not understood by others, so what? People in the world will know right or wrong thousands of years later.

Since I have lived a life of rejuvenation, I can have a clear conscience. What can I do if I have a heavy burden? Yes, compared with all the people in the world, I have only carried some heavy burdens, but it can be exchanged for thousands of years without having to suffer such humiliation, so that the Chinese nation can no longer be bent, and can pick up the swords and guns in my hands, stand at the forefront of the world and roar.

"Uncle, Wuji is rude." I took a deep breath, walked forward, and bowed deeply to Qu Tutong, who was kneeling on the ground. Then I took a few steps back and bowed solemnly to everyone: "Everyone, I am rude."

"Your Majesty, don't do this. I will never forgive you for your death." Seeing me like this, Qu Tutong couldn't help but bow down again, but he just didn't want to get up.

"Where is Wei Zheng?" This young master was anxious and shouted loudly.

"I'm here" Wei Zheng was also shocked.

"Is the general guilty?" I shouted at Wei Zheng, but while asking, I blinked at this guy, naturally making a wink.

Wei Zheng really understood what I meant, and a smile appeared on his thin black face. "I heard from Your Majesty that there is no relevant law for such behavior. Therefore... the general is not guilty."

"General, if you don't get up again, I will kneel with you." I turned my head and said in a deep voice to Qu Tutong.

"Your Majesty... The old man dares not say hesitation again in this life. He is willing to be brave enough for His Majesty and have no regrets in his life." Qu Tutong smashed his forehead on the floor, raised his head and shouted loudly.

"I am willing to be brave and have no regrets for Your Majesty." A hundred civil and military officials in the hall shouted angrily.

"I'm wrong. I'm willing to be brave enough for the Chinese Empire to be brave enough for the rest of my life, and I'm willing to be brave enough for the millions of people in China to be brave enough for the rest of my life." I shook my head, and in the puzzled eyes of everyone, I raised my hand, clenched into a fist, and shouted loudly.

"I have been brave enough for the Chinese Empire to be brave enough for the rest of my life, and I have been brave enough for the millions of people in China to be brave enough for the rest of my life." Everyone stood up and raised their right hands high, as if they were standing on the clear sky, towards God, towards our ancestors, and towards the long river of history.
