Quick time travel villain

Chapter 93 [The Demonic Monk]

However, no one dared to respond to the emperor's edict.

Not to mention how difficult it is to build a [-]-foot-high sacrificial pagoda with today's construction methods.Even with the current domestic manpower and material resources, it is impossible to build such a magnificent and costly sacrificial pagoda.

Now that the strong labor force in the country has gone to the border to fight, the only ones left are women, old and young. Should they be allowed to build a sacrificial tower hundreds of feet high?

In the court, as soon as the emperor's edict was promulgated, everyone considered these obvious consequences, and none of the ministers dared to respond, but no one dared to refuse.

When the emperor was so powerful, the court and even the whole country had been his voice for a long time. The opinions submitted by the ministers could only be implemented after they were adopted by him, and there was no room for turning around other plans that he vetoed.

The emperor has such a strong desire to control. In the past, he was a wise monarch to the world. All decisions were made to strengthen the country, so there was nothing wrong with it.

But now the emperor is bewitched by boudoir grievances, and all the measures promulgated are basically destroying the country he worked so hard to stabilize. No one dared to stand up and expose it.

Accumulated prestige is here, but it has become a disaster.

In the end, although no one responded to the decree promulgated by the emperor, since no one dared to stand up to oppose it, the emperor became acquiesced by all the ministers.

This decree began to be implemented throughout the country. Women, old and young were selected and brought to the outskirts of Chang'an City, where they began to build a sacrificial pagoda nearly [-] feet high.

If it is said that sending the whole country's strong labor force into the army to attack the border has not made the general public feel the crisis, then the current decree, which requires the forced recruitment of domestic women, old and young, to build sacrificial towers, casts a shadow over the hearts of all the people in the country .

Husbands, brothers, and fathers in the family are still in exile, and there is no hope of return. The remaining women, old and young, who are already alone and helpless, have to be squeezed out of their last remaining value.

One year has passed, and most of the sacrificial pagoda has been built, but at this time, people in the world are full of dissatisfaction.

The 500 million troops sent by the emperor to fight on the border at the beginning have not disappeared at all. No matter whether they have won or lost the battle, there is not even a little news, and not a single man who joined the army has returned home.

The women, young and old, who were waiting hard at home hoped and hoped, but the more they hoped, the more hopeless they became. A sense of despair rose in everyone's hearts.

After despair, there is a resistance driven to a desperate situation.

Insurgent armies from all over the country poured out one after another, some were organized by the common people themselves, some were formed by rich local businessmen leading their servants and gathering friends and friends to form a powerful team, and some were directly dissatisfied with the ruling government by local officials. The ruler of the country rose up with his father and fellow countrymen
Everywhere in the country was caught in a wave of uprisings.

As for Chang'an City, the emperor of Chang'an City is still intoxicated in his own spring and autumn dream.

The emperor has been bewitched by boudoir grievances, and she will report the progress of the border war to the emperor every month.

In the first month, ten cities were captured.

In the second month, a small neighboring country was conquered.

In the third month, several neighboring small countries were conquered.

In the fourth month, a medium-sized country was captured.

In the fifth month, not only did the army of a big country retreat steadily, but many small neighboring countries came to surrender.

Listening to these military reports brought by Boudoir, every month they are victorious, the domestic army is invincible, and the victories are stronger and more dazzling each time... This makes the emperor can't help but have some good feelings Looking forward, his dominance of the country seems to be just around the corner.

However, the emperor didn't know that what Guiyuan told him were all the illusions that the monk went to the border to weave.

The army in the fantasy realm thought that they were fighting with live ammunition, bleeding and wounding, tragic and pathetic, all were staged in reality.

However, in fact, for a year, they just danced around with weapons, without any bloodshed, and without any casualties.

The emperor outside the illusion also thought that his territory was expanding rapidly, but in fact, the 500 million soldiers who fought for him still stayed at the original border.

Guiyuan told a big lie to the world, wanting to make Emperor Dog's country completely turbulent.

However, not only that, there is also an illusion of the same nature in the outskirts of Chang'an City.

Although the scale is much smaller than that of the border, its influence in the minds of ordinary people is not bad at all.

Outside the illusion, what everyone sees is women, young and old being forced to build a sacrificial pagoda that is as difficult as heaven. However, he was forced to risk his life to complete it.

People kept falling on the road of lifting stones and logs, and people kept fainting or even suffocating under the scorching sun.

Everyone in the world saw this, but only the emperor couldn't see it.

When the emperor thought that his throne was secure and that his great achievements were about to be immortalized forever, the people all over the world scolded them. The emperor treated their mothers, wives, and children like animals.

Could it be that the life of ordinary people is not life, and can be easily given up by the court, or just because the emperor has an unreliable idea, they will be whipped to do something that is impossible to accomplish?

Since this is the case, what do people in the world want this unrighteous emperor to do?
It is better to rise up, abolish the emperor, and establish a new dynasty.

The abolished emperor has now become the only wish of the people all over the world, and the driving force for unification.

But the emperor was completely kept in the dark, he was still staying in his Chang'an city, thinking that a lot of land had been added to his country thousands of miles away, wondering if the whole world could be a king's land, and he would soon become the eternal emperor who ruled the world... …

And these are undoubtedly fantasies.

For a whole year, when the emperor Xuan Guoshi entered the palace again and wanted to inquire about the progress of the border war, his throne was about to come to an end.

At this time, the emperor was still sitting on the high throne in the main hall, the national teacher had already arrived in front of him, his eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, as if he was completely surrendered, everything seemed to be as usual, he was still thinking, it has been a year, According to the progress reported by the national teacher, his hegemony of conquering the world is about to be completed...

However, when the emperor was immersed in this beautiful fantasy, everything changed rapidly, and the national teacher who was standing in front of him with lowered eyebrows just now suddenly bullied him, his eyes were sharp, and he didn't look like he was submitting.

The emperor was shocked, he slapped the throne down, and shouted: "Master, what are you doing?"

He fancied that he still had the majesty he once had.
