Looking at Huang Zongsheng's indifferent appearance, Lin Shangzhi's face darkened, and his expression became icy cold.

"Since you don't want to be the emperor, then I will!"

In the capital of Da Wei, Jiang Chen closely monitored the situation in the south every day.

After reading the urgent report sent by Yao Shouxin, he couldn't help but laugh.

Feng Jin, who was serving beside him, had never seen Jiang Chen laugh so happily since the drought, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, is there any good news? Has Lord Yao already quelled the rebellion?"

"Not so fast."

Jiang Chen smiled and handed the report to Feng Jin, "Read it yourself."

Feng Jin curiously took the report, and after reading it, couldn't help but laugh.

"Your Majesty, are they playing house? Isn't this too ridiculous?"

Jiang Chen laughed heartily, "You're right, it's too ridiculous."

Jiang Chen laughed for a while before restraining his laughter.

The Great Victory was only established for half a month before the Great Victory Prime Minister Lin Shangzhi killed Huang Zongsheng, the first emperor of the Great Victory.

However, before Lin Shangzhi could prepare for the enthronement ceremony, Huang Zongsheng's younger brother, Huang Zongming, led Huang Zongsheng's confidants and killed Lin Shangzhi, and then Huang Zongming ascended the throne.

In just twenty days, the Great Victory changed three emperors.

This was an incredible thing in any dynasty.

Especially since this Great Victory had only been established for twenty days.

Jiang Chen originally thought that the Great Victory was a formidable enemy, at least the other party would be well prepared to establish themselves as kings.

Now it seems that the other party just wanted to enjoy themselves!

With Yao Shouxin personally leading the army, he believed that this farce would end in a month at most.

The subsequent development was basically the same as Jiang Chen expected.

Huang Zongsheng relied on his prestige to become the emperor of the Great Victory, while Lin Shangzhi was just a strategist with no foundation in the southern military camp, so it was natural for him to be killed.

Although Huang Zongming was Huang Zongsheng's younger brother, he had no prestige in the southern military camp.

But Huang Zongming felt that he had inherited everything from Huang Zongsheng, and was bossy towards Huang Zongsheng's confidants.

As a result, those generals who were already dissatisfied with Huang Zongming gradually became uncooperative.

Some generals even held their own troops in various parts of the Great Victory, refusing to be dispatched.

Yao Shouxin originally thought he would be facing the 120,000-strong army of the southern military camp, but when the scouts gathered information, Yao Shouxin was surprised.

"What did you say? They only have 20,000 troops?"

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Yao Shouxin couldn't believe it, fearing that it was the enemy's trick to lure him in.

He sent a small team to test the waters, and the conclusion was that there were indeed only 20,000 people.

Yao Shouxin did not hesitate and immediately sent out a large army to annihilate the 20,000 people and occupy a city.

After that, Yao Shouxin advanced step by step, launching attacks on one city after another.

The Great Victory was already fighting on its own, how could it resist the 150,000 troops brought by Yao Shouxin.

Twenty days later, the entire Great Victory was only barely supported by the capital, Duanzhou.

This was still the result of Yao Shouxin's conservative attack because the 150,000 troops were unaccustomed to the climate!

When 80,000 troops approached Duanzhou City, Huang Zongming was filled with despair.

He couldn't understand why the Great Victory, which he had worked so hard to establish, had completely disintegrated in less than two months.

After being besieged by 80,000 troops for five days, Huang Zongming opened the city gate and chose to surrender.

When the news of the southern army's great victory spread throughout Da Wei, everyone cheered.

The ministers were naturally happy that a rebellion had been quelled.

In addition to this, the people were also happy because Jiang Chen had fulfilled his promise and restored the reduced disaster relief grain the day after the victory report arrived.

The people were grateful for this.

In the Qin Zheng Hall, Jiang Chen looked at the various petitions sent, and smiled.

He had received more petitions during this period than all the emperors of previous dynasties combined.

The people of Da Wei now regarded Jiang Chen as the number one wise ruler of all time.

This result was something that none of the ministers had expected.

After asking Feng Jin to put away the petitions, Jiang Chen opened the memorial sent by Yao Shouxin.

When he saw that Yao Shouxin had found countless grains in the granaries of the Great Victory, Jiang Chen stood up abruptly.

"Heaven bless my Da Wei! Heaven bless my Da Wei!"

Jiang Chen laughed loudly.

With these grains, Da Wei could completely survive this drought!

This news also inspired all the ministers.

They thought that Huang Zongsheng's self-establishment as king would add fuel to the fire of the drought, but they did not expect that he would provide help in the nick of time.

Therefore, when Huang Zongming was brought into the hall, the ministers did not glare at Huang Zongming, but instead had smiles on their faces.

If rebellions could be quelled so easily and bring such great benefits, they could do it again!

Jiang Chen looked at the rather disheveled Huang Zongming, his expression blank.

Huang Zongming looked at Jiang Chen with a rather complicated expression.

Last time, he spent 1.2 million taels of silver in front of Jiang Chen to buy Jiang Chen's eight characters, making a big splash.

But he didn't expect that in less than two months, he would become a prisoner.

"Huang Zongming, what do you want to say?" Jiang Chen said.

Huang Zongming's face turned pale. Jiang Chen didn't ask anything, but directly asked him what he wanted to say. This was a sign that he was going to kill him!

Huang Zongming broke out in cold sweat and suddenly said, "You can't kill me!"

"Why?" Jiang Chen looked at Huang Zongming.

Huang Zongming said, "I still have those eight characters with me!"

As he said that, he took out a painting, which was the eight characters that Jiang Chen had written at the charity auction.

Accumulating good deeds will bring blessings to the family.

The ministers' expressions froze.

Although these eight characters did not explicitly state immunity from death, their meaning was similar.

Moreover, the other party did spend 1.2 million taels of silver.

In fact, it did save some people.

It was difficult!

The ministers were silent.

Wu Zuo, who had been promoted to Minister of Justice, stood up at this time and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I believe that what Huang Zongming and others have committed is a crime punishable by the nine generations of relatives, and must not be tolerated!"

Wu Zuo had already recognized the situation. He was now Jiang Chen's knife.

He could say some things that Jiang Chen didn't want to say.

He could kill some people that Jiang Chen didn't want to kill.

Just like last time, he understood Jiang Chen's intention to collect money from those corrupt officials and put it into the public treasury, and smoothly took over the long-vacant position of Minister of Justice.

This time, he understood Jiang Chen's intention again.

Huang Zongming's face turned pale, but he still said, "That's right, rebellion is indeed a crime punishable by the nine generations of relatives! But I have these eight characters, which can save me from death!"

Huang Zongming also saw the situation clearly.

It was absolutely impossible to spare everyone.

Then he just needed to save his own life!

His ruthlessness made the ministers present secretly click their tongues.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly at this time, "When Huang Zongsheng was the general, what was his salary?"
