In Handan City, Lin Zhongyun looked at the virtual panel in front of him and chose not to complete it without hesitation.
Are you kidding me?
How could he waste the opportunity to obtain a higher-level treasure chest now?
Low-level treasure chests were no longer of much help to him.
Even if some skills are really unlocked, there won’t be much improvement, so it’s better to keep them.
As the system's virtual interface slowly disappeared.
The familiar warm current once again rose from his body. As the warm current gradually dissipated, he immediately picked up the Qingyang Sword in front of him.
The next moment, he suddenly felt that familiar feeling coming up from his arm.
The Qingyang Sword in his hand seemed to have been integrated into his body.
This is absolute control!
This was far more than Lin Zhongyun’s previous two and a half months of hard training!
"This"
Even though he had seen many rewards, Lin Zhongyun still couldn't help but feel excited.
This sense of proficiency has been a huge boost to his performance.
With the sharpness of the Qingyang Sword, my current combat power is probably far beyond that of ordinary people!
Lin Zhongyun did not hesitate and quickly stood up and tried to perform a set of self-created sword techniques as he did in the past.
Stab, chop, pick
A set of standard movements was completed almost instantly.
"The speed is almost doubled. Almost all the unnecessary movements in the sword moves have been discarded!"
Looking at the Qingyang Sword in his hand, Lin Zhongyun was secretly shocked.
Then, he immediately called out his personal attribute panel.
[Host name: Lin Zhongyun]
[Identity: Leader of the Rebel Army]
[Reputation value: 1748215]
【Force: 40.7 +】
[Physical Strength: 37+]
[Skills: Primary hunger resistance, knife skills, tiger and wolf power, potential burst, high morale, heroic temperament +, primary detection skills +, basic swordsmanship. ]
[Unused items: Territory Harvest Amplification Coupon, Wind and Rain Calling Coupon,]
That’s right, after this period of daily exercise, Lin Zhongyun’s martial arts and physical strength attributes have increased again.
Lin Zhongyun's current body is only that of a 16-year-old.
According to scientific judgment in the previous life, Lin Zhongyun is still in the developmental stage.
Before, it was just because its predecessor had been hungry for too long and had been malnourished, so it looked very weak.
After such a long period of cultivation, coupled with Lin Zhongyun's daily exercise, it is inevitable that his martial arts and physical strength will slowly increase.
It is precisely because of this.
Lin Zhongyun has now given up the idea of using reputation to improve attributes.
Before, it was because he had to go into battle himself, but his attributes were too low and he was at risk of death at any time.
But now it’s different. With his current attributes and this skill, Lin Zhongyun is still very confident.
So——he still plans to upgrade his skills!
Looking at the virtual panel in front of him, Lin Zhongyun hesitated for a moment and chose to upgrade the primary detection technique.
As my power grows stronger now.
The usefulness of this elementary detection technique to him has become increasingly obvious.
The ability to detect malicious intent is extremely useful in this situation.
Lin Zhongyun was also a decisive person. After thinking for a moment, he no longer hesitated and immediately chose to upgrade.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have successfully upgraded your skill (Basic Detection).]
[Reputation consumed: 1000000]
[(Primary Detection Technique) has been upgraded to (Intermediate Detection Technique)]
[Intermediate Detection Skill Effect: Greatly improves the host's five senses. The host can sense the emotional changes of people around him and can sense the malice from the surroundings.]
"Emotional changes?" Looking at the virtual panel flashing before his eyes, Lin Zhongyun couldn't help but frowned.
What does it mean?
Lin Zhongyun did not hesitate and hurried out to test it out, looking at the rebels guarding the door.
The moment Lin Zhongyun appeared in front of them.
Lin Zhongyun could strongly feel their sudden excitement.
They seemed excited to see me!
In an instant, Lin Zhongyun immediately understood the use of this skill, and his heart was shocked at this moment!
"This is a divine skill!!"
Lin Zhongyun immediately thought of the use of this skill!
By feeling the changes in emotions, you can actually tell the loyalty from the treachery!
Although I cannot directly see the loyalty of everyone, but in certain scenes, as long as I can sense the abnormality of emotions, I can already see a lot of details!
How could this not be considered a divine skill?
At this moment, Lin Zhongyun was greatly shocked, and then he asked someone to call all his officials over.
He planned to try out whether the effect of this skill was as he had guessed.
We should also pay attention to the details of Cangzhou.
Cangzhou is his current foundation. He can delegate some details, but he must also show concern!
Soon, a group of officials came in together.
Sitting on the governor's main seat, Lin Zhongyun glanced at the group of civil officials, carefully sensing their subtle feelings.
Sure enough, as Lin Zhongyun's gaze moved.
Waves of emotions immediately spread from these officials.
Their emotions are very complicated.
There is tension, admiration, fear, and a little bit of resentment.
"As expected, I can analyze their attitude towards me through their emotions!"
Lin Zhongyun was greatly shocked, but his expression was still very calm. He started to discuss with everyone and listened to the officials introducing the current situation in various places in Cangzhou.
Except for the three counties that were recovered last.
Nowadays, the area with the best reclaimed land is Shuntian County, which was first occupied by Lin Zhongyun.
The next ones are Handan and several nearby cities.
The big families in the city took action, apparently because of Shang Chuqing's withdrawal. They seemed to have fully understood their current situation.
This time, he took the initiative to help Lin Zhongyun lead a group of refugees to reclaim land. Of course, Lin Zhongyun would not refuse such a gesture of goodwill.
But he would also not give these big families the opportunity to annex their land. If they wanted to show goodwill, let them do so. Lin Zhongyun would not touch them now.
Unless——they are dishonest! .
at the same time.
Beilin City, inside the Qianqing Palace.
All the ministers gathered.
A group of censors were kneeling in the hall, looking at the young emperor sitting on the dragon throne.
And - the woman behind the curtain behind him.
"Your Majesty!!! The late emperor had already ordered that Shang Chuqing could not serve as an official. Although Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, he is also the son of the late emperor. How can you go against the late emperor's will?"
"Your Majesty!! The people of the world are all accusing you of being unfilial. As the ruler of a country, you should be a role model for the people of the world. How could you do such a thing?"
"Your Majesty!! Our Daqian has always been governed by filial piety. Your Majesty's actions will not leave a bad legacy for future generations. I beg Your Majesty to dismiss Shang Chuqing immediately!"
"Your Majesty!!! I, an old minister, risk my life to advise you. Whether it is to prove your majesty's filial piety to the people of the world, or to prevent Shang Chuqing from raising a traitor and becoming powerful, please dismiss Shang Chuqing immediately!"
"I beg Your Majesty to issue an edict immediately to dismiss Shang Chuqing and calm the people's hearts!!"
"If Your Majesty does not agree to my request today, I will kneel and die in this Qianqing Palace!"
"Your Majesty, is this action worthy of the late emperor? If the spirit of the late emperor knew what your Majesty did, how could he rest in peace?"
"."
The censors of various ages kept roaring with stubborn expressions, one after another, and each of them had an exceptionally firm expression.
He had no regard for the dignity of the Qianqing Palace at all and roared as if it were a vegetable market.
On both sides of them, Lan Shuyan was leading the cabinet officials to watch all this silently, and no one said a word.
Sitting on the dragon throne, the young Liu Wulie looked at the scene in panic, without any dignity of an emperor at all.
Although he had vowed to support Daqian when he ascended the throne, and was named the crown prince since childhood and trained for many years.
But he is still young after all!
How could he not panic when he first saw such a large-scale fight, as he had never seen such a large-scale fight before?
The censors seemed to have noticed this, and when they saw that the Empress Dowager and Lan Shuyan, Bian Ning and the others had not spoken, their speeches became more aggressive.
The Censor was a special official position in the Daqian court.
It was established by Emperor Wuzong of later generations in his later years. Emperor Wuzong once regretted his lifelong wars which had caused hardships to the people, so he specially established the post of Censor.
The specific duty is to discover the emperor's mistakes in time and advise him.
Actually, this position was good at the beginning.
But it’s still because of Yingzong!
Because of his favoritism towards eunuchs, the censors at that time advised Emperor Yingzong not to be so favoritism towards eunuchs. However, one by one they were held accountable and died at the hands of the eunuchs.
But it is also because of this that those censors all left their names in history and were praised to the sky by people in later generations.
Things like daring to give advice and not disappointing Emperor Wuzong were all used to describe those people.
The eunuch was naturally criticized by everyone, and even Emperor Yingzong was affected.
Later on, this censor changed his character.
Although they still dared to speak, everyone had only one goal, and that was fame!
For the good reputation that will go down in history!
Advising the emperor is something that can almost always be recorded in the history books.
Looking around the world now, there are more and more rumors about Shang Chuqing. How could they miss such an opportunity to become famous?
I saw that the censors in the palace were becoming more and more violent.
Finally, the woman behind the curtain spoke up and interrupted everyone.
"Captain Lan, why don't you speak?"
The sound in the entire hall suddenly stopped.
Lan Shuyan, who had been standing in front of the ministers without speaking, also slowly walked out at this time and knelt down in front of the ministers: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed to let you bear this bad reputation."
"Please punish me, Queen Mother."
His eyes were so terrifyingly deep that it was hard to fathom his thoughts.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the ministers in the hall couldn't help but change, but no one spoke.
"Empress Dowager." Standing next to Liu Wulie, Bian Ning saw this scene and couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "Captain Lan is also for my Daqian country."
"Although it may attract criticism from the world, if you can really quell the rebellion, I think the people of the world will certainly praise your majesty for your wisdom."
He just finished speaking.
Lan Shuyan's voice rang out again: "Queen Dowager, Your Majesty!"
"The governor of Yuzhou sent an urgent message eight hundred miles away. Shang Chuqing signed a military order, saying that he could suppress the rebels in Yuzhou within two months."
"In my humble opinion, we should give Shang Chuqing another two months."
"If he can really suppress the rebels, the criticism will be resolved. If he cannot, he can be executed to appease the people of the world."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the officials in the hall couldn't help but change slightly at this moment.
But Lan Shuyan's expression remained calm the whole time.
This was his whole plan.
Recall Shang Chuqing. If he can make achievements, all the credit will be his. In the future, we can also use strategies to demote him to a commoner.
If he fails to accomplish anything, take this opportunity to kill him!
He is already old, and although Shang Chuqing has also reached the age of knowing the destiny, he is still nearly ten years younger than him.
Throughout his life as an official, Shang Chuqing was his biggest enemy. He had to eliminate all threats for the sake of his offspring.
The entire hall was unusually quiet.
The Queen Mother did not directly answer Lan Shuyan's question.
Instead, the young and naive emperor nodded immediately and said, "Mother, let's follow the advice of the governor Lan."
"Since I am the emperor, I can bear the infamy for the country, but if I cannot suppress the rebels, I, as the emperor, cannot continue to be criticized by the people of the world."
As soon as the voice fell, Bian Neng, who was standing beside him, suddenly smiled and immediately agreed, "Queen Mother, I think so too."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother finally nodded: "Yes!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother! Thank you, Your Majesty!!"
Lan Shuyan bowed slightly again, then slowly stood up and turned to look at the censors: "My Lords, there is no need to remonstrate with us again."
"If we fail to suppress the bandits in two months, I will give you all an explanation."
The censors stared at Lan Shuyan closely and did not continue to speak. Instead, they looked at each other, then slowly stood up and retreated together.
They have done enough.
Just give advice, no matter what the result is.
Regardless of the outcome of this matter, everything they did today has been recorded. Whether they can leave their names in history depends on their luck in the future.
With any luck, their names will be remembered no matter what the outcome.
If the imperial court suppressed the rebels, they could leave their names as censors to advise the emperor, and the emperor would repent and then pacify the rebels in the world.
What if the rebels broke through Kyoto?
They can also leave their names, but the emperor is unjust and does not listen to their words, which leads to the destruction of the five hundred years of Daqian.
Therefore, they don't care about the outcome, as long as the goal is achieved.
When the young emperor on the dragon throne saw this scene, his expression relaxed.
