My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

A few days later, a magnificent imperial envoy team arrived in Youzhou City.

The imperial minister was dressed in gorgeous official uniforms and looked solemn. In front of Qin Junyi and others, he unfolded Huang Juan's imperial edict and read it loudly:

"By God's blessing, the emperor has issued an edict: Qin Junyi is both wise and brave, and is powerful in the world. He is now specially enthroned as the King of Youzhou, granted military power, and leads his troops to attack the Beidi Army, protect the homeland and the country, and protect the people. I hope you will live up to your expectations and be brave. Kill the enemy and sing a victory song!”

As the imperial minister finished speaking, the entire scene became extremely quiet, as if time had stopped flowing.

At this moment, Qin Junyi broke the suffocating atmosphere and slowly said: "It is not impossible for me to send troops."

When the imperial envoy heard this, his face suddenly showed a look of ecstasy, and he said excitedly: "I have already expected that, Your Majesty, you care about the world, and you will definitely not watch the people being bullied by foreign races. Please also ask Your Majesty to send troops as soon as possible. Drive that abominable Beidi army out of our country again!”

"Then what?" Qin Junyi smiled slightly, with full mockery in his voice.

The imperial envoy looked at Qin Junyi with wide eyes and astonishment: "Huh?"

After a while, he stammered in response: "This...then...uh..."

Qin Junyi sneered and answered for him: "After I defeat Beidi, what awaits me is to be killed by the emperor again and imprisoned for the crime of frame-up.

With the previous lessons learned, I am afraid that this time it will not only be a punishment of soul-destroying nails, exile to the border, and assassination on the road, but a direct sentence of death and execution immediately. "

Speaking of this, Qin Junyi's eyes became colder and colder, making people shudder.

"This... Your Majesty's words are serious." A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on the imperial minister's forehead, and he was so nervous that he couldn't even speak clearly.

He wanted to say, "Your majesty is wise and will definitely not do such a thing."

But what happened to the Qin family was right in front of him, and he couldn't bear to talk nonsense, so he had to apologize and couldn't help but worry about the lives of the family.

When the edict was first issued, no one was willing to take the risk of coming to Youzhou to read the edict. Everyone knew in their hearts that the Qin family had already betrayed the imperial court, and this trip was really dangerous, and they might never come back.

However, in order to show the court's trust, we could not just send a small eunuch or official to announce the decree. In the end, this hard job fell to him who couldn't compete with his colleagues' family background.

At this moment, facing Qin Junyi's powerful aura and questioning, it was really hard for him to withstand it, and cold sweat continued to flow down like raindrops.

Qin Junyi didn't want to embarrass him too much. There was an irresistible majesty in his low voice: "Go back and tell your emperor that I can designate myself as the king of Youzhou without him having to do anything. If he is really sincere, he can make me the king. As the regent, he administers the affairs on behalf of the emperor."

The imperial envoy's face turned red: You are treason!

When the words came to his lips, in order to save his life, he did not dare to say them out. He only twitched his facial muscles slightly and said: "My lord, can you think more carefully. After all, the people are innocent."

Qin Junyi said in a deep voice: "Since you are so righteous, please tell the world that all the people who are suffering can come to my place to take refuge, and I will definitely arrange them properly."

Imperial envoy:"......"

In the end, the imperial team stayed overnight and returned to Beijing with the imperial edict in despair.

When the emperor heard Qin Junyi's request for the regent, he was so angry that he was shaking all over, his eyes were red, and he completely lost his mind.

Ignoring the persuasion of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he immediately ordered people to draft a sharp and majestic crusade payment document, and quickly announced it to the world.

This crusade document lists more than a dozen charges against Qin Junyi for plotting to treason and steal the country. Each of them clearly shows that Qin Junyi is a traitor and traitor who usurped the throne and seized power, and his crimes should be punished.

At the same time, the emperor also issued a reward notice to heroes from all walks of life in the world, saying that as long as anyone can successfully kill Qin Junyi, he will be granted an official title and a reward of ten thousand taels!

As the saying goes, "There must be a brave man under a heavy reward", and "People die for wealth and birds die for food." For a moment, the atmosphere around Qin Junyi became tense.

Countless people who thought they were highly skilled in martial arts, either alone or in groups, sneaked into Youzhou to assassinate Qin Junyi in exchange for fame and fortune.

However, there were troops and officers and soldiers outside checking outsiders, and there were close guards and shadow guards inside to protect him. No one could get close to Qin Junyi, and they all could not escape the result of "death before leaving the army".

As for the crusade, if it were placed in a peaceful and prosperous era, it might have the effect of uniting people's hearts.

But in the current troubled times, it is like a pebble thrown into the sea, only a little splash appears, and then disappears in the ebb and flow of the tide.

Qin Junyi held the territory of four states, but he did not proclaim himself king or emperor, nor did he expand externally and provoke war. He practiced the policy of "building walls high, accumulating grain widely, and proclaiming himself king slowly".

Some ambitious rebel generals have proclaimed themselves emperors. The emperor does not attack them, but instead targets the Qin family everywhere. It is really hard to convince people.

Moreover, Qin Junyi's reputation has reached a higher level than the "God of War" in the past.

Just because he did not completely close the city to self-government, but accepted people who fled from all directions, and used work as relief, trying his best to help the refugees who had nothing, so that they could end their bumpy life of displacement and settle down again.

After these refugees recovered, some of them enlisted in the army and climbed up the ranks by relying on military merit, some worked hard and exchanged their sweat for a bumper harvest, and some returned to their old careers, engaging in business and politics...

Through their own efforts, they live a life with more dignity and hope than before.

As long as a person has hope in his heart, his life will be on track.

The source of all this hope lies in Qin Junyi, the head of the Qin family!

When Qin Junyi saw the emperor's submission, he decided to retaliate against him in his own way, and asked Taifu Qi to also write a submission to announce to the world the crimes the emperor had committed in the past.

Among them was the crime of framing the Qin family for rebellion, forcing the Qin family to protect themselves.

He also emphasized the inhumanity of the emperor's inhumane act of creating a "pandemic city" in order to eradicate the Qin family, trapping the people of Jizhou in the city and causing innocent deaths.

In addition to these two points, there are a total of twenty-one sins of the emperor such as killing his brother and usurping the throne, acting arbitrarily, being ignorant, harming the loyal, extortionate expropriation, extravagance, etc.

For a time, the people in the Great Zhou Dynasty were furious and strongly called on the emperor to step down and replace him with Mingjun.

Rebellious forces from all sides added fuel to the flames, denounced the emperor's improper position, bad conduct, and unfitness to be the king of a country. They used this as a reason to send troops to the capital.

Faced with this situation of being besieged on all sides, the new emperor was immediately dumbfounded.
