The First Step to Destroying the Nation's Fate!

In the throne room, Chen Xuan's expression was gloomy.

"Humph! This was simply nonsense! I know the reason why the Zhou Dynasty was destroyed. It was clearly because the ministers of the Zhou Dynasty did not do their jobs well and their government affairs were not good enough, causing the world to be in chaos! Now, you are pushing the responsibility to the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty!"

"Speak! Are you secretly shooting at me? What, do you think that the Qing Kingdom is going to perish?"

Chen Xuan said coldly.

His words could be said to be very serious, instantly causing Luo Yu to reveal a terrified expression.

"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare!"

Luo Yu knelt on the ground and shouted.

Seeing Chen Xuan's anger, many of the old officials in the court revealed some surprise in their eyes.

In the impression of many people, Chen Xuan was not like this when he was the crown prince.

At that time, he was exceptionally good at accepting advice. Why was Luo Yu so angry today just because he said that he was late?

At this moment.

After scolding Luo Yu, Chen Xuan could not help but feel relieved.

Was this the feeling of being an emperor?

He was clearly in the wrong, but he could be unreasonable.

This feeling was so good…

Chen Xuan naturally knew that as an emperor, if he was unreasonable, then the officials would not be able to do their best for him, and problems would arise in the country.

But did he care about that now?

The country had a problem, causing the country's fate to decline. He couldn't be happier!

"Humph! You still dare not? This is my first day in court, and you dare to say something bad about me? What else do you not dare to do?"

Chen Xuan continued.

"This…this minister deserves to die ten thousand times. Please forgive me, emperor! Please forgive me!"

Luo Yu was a little scared now. He repeatedly kowtowed, and his forehead and the ground made a banging sound. Clearly, he used some strength.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan could not bear it and secretly regretted it. He seemed to have gone a little too far.

"Forget it. Today is the first day of this one's grand wedding. I'll spare you. You may leave."

Chen Xuan waved his hand and said.

" Thank you, Your Majesty!" Luo Yu's nervous expression relaxed upon hearing this. He hurriedly bowed and said," Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Are there any other memorials?"

After Luo Yu returned to the formation, Chen Xuan looked at everyone and slowly spoke.

Hearing this, the other ministers all glanced at each other and did not dare to submit any more memorials.

They did not think that Chen Xuan was a person who did not know right from wrong. They only thought that Chen Xuan had scolded Luo Yu without asking whether he was right or wrong just now to establish his prestige in the imperial court.

Therefore, they did not dare to stand up now, afraid that Chen Xuan would kill them like chickens.

Seeing that these officials did not speak, Chen Xuan curled his lips slightly.

As expected, they were all smart people. When they saw that something was wrong, they all acted like cowards. How boring.

[Beep! Detected that the host is in the middle of a court meeting. The first settlement cycle has begun.]

[Host, please issue a decree.]

At this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded in Chen Xuan's ears. A screen that only he could see appeared in front of him.

Was it about to start?

Chen Xuan was stunned and caught off guard.

To be honest, he hadn't thought of how to ruin the country's fortune yet.

However, Chen Xuan was not in a hurry.

After all, destroying the country's fate was equivalent to letting the Qing Kingdom perish.

There were so many countries that had perished in the history of China. As long as he borrowed a little of their methods of destruction, wouldn't he be able to easily destroy the Qing Kingdom?

Therefore, even though the decree was about to be issued, Chen Xuan expressed that he was not in a hurry.

He began to think about what kind of decree he should issue.

Gradually, Chen Xuan frowned slightly.

Because things weren't that simple.

First, the decree had to be reasonable, and it had to be in line with Qing Kingdom's interests.

Only in this way could he satisfy the system's requirements.

Second, the decree must be able to destroy the Qing Kingdom.

Only in this way could he satisfy his own needs.

Therefore, the decree he issued must appear to be good for the Qing Kingdom, but in fact, it would cause the Qing Kingdom to perish!

To be honest, such a decree was a little overboard for Chen Xuan, who had never studied history!

"F * ck, why is it a little different from what I thought? It's so difficult to squander?"

Chen Xuan frowned.

When the ministers saw him frown, they were a little confused. They felt that Chen Xuan's thoughts today were a little difficult to guess.

The Crown Prince wasn't like this in the past. Why was he so moody now that he was the Emperor?

The ministers suddenly had an indescribable feeling…

However, at this moment, Chen Xuan's brows suddenly relaxed.

Because he had an idea!

The source of inspiration for this idea was the State of Qin!

First of all, the Qin Country was destroyed quickly!

Err…although it was a little disrespectful to Qin, when it came to the rapid destruction of a powerful empire, who could compare to Qin!

In just ten years, the Great Qin Empire, which had unified the world and swept across the world, would be gone.

Although Chen Xuan's history was not very good, what he knew was only the knowledge that he had seen from the online media.

But since he dared to brag, there should be something in it, right?

As far as he knew, the death of Qin Dynasty II was mainly due to the harsh laws that the people of the other seven countries could not stand. In addition, the nobility declined due to military merit, so when the people rose up one after another, once the Qin country weakened, they died instantly.

There weren't many people who were loyal to him.

The current Qing Kingdom was actually a little similar to the Qin Kingdom. The laws of the Qing Kingdom were quite loose.

Moreover, there were a large number of dignitaries in the country.

He only needed to imitate the Qin Dynasty and set up strict laws. First, he would use the name of righteousness to deprive the noble families of their inheritance rights, and then use strict laws to force the common people to revolt.

If he went easy on them, then wouldn't the fate of the Qing Kingdom decline?

At that time, the commoners would rebel, and the nobles would be alienated. The fall of the Qing Kingdom was just around the corner!

And he would also successfully obtain enough points from the system's settlement to exchange for the Zenith Heaven Dao Fruit!

It's settled!

"Where's the Minister of Justice?" Chen Xuan, who had an idea in his mind, immediately asked loudly.

After a long silence, the Emperor suddenly called out his name. All the ministers looked sympathetically at an official in purple robes who was about forty years old.

"Your subject is here!"

The minister of the Ministry of Justice was surnamed Zhang Yu. He stepped out nervously and complained in his heart. He did not know why the Emperor had called him out.

"The late emperor carried the Three-Foot Sword and bathed in blood for decades before he founded the Qing Kingdom. Now, as a descendant of the previous emperor, since I have inherited the throne, I should make the Qing Kingdom flourish."

"I heard the Sage say that the world will never change. Now that the Qing Kingdom has been established for more than 30 years and has been peaceful for a long time, the old rules are not suitable for today."

"Therefore, I want to reform."

Hearing this, all the officials in the hall could not help but hold their breaths.

What was going on? His Majesty had just ascended the throne and he was going to do such a big thing?

Reformation?

This was a matter that involved the foundation of a country!

No matter what, he had to inform all parties in the country beforehand!

Why did he say it so directly in the imperial court?

The Crown Prince wasn't like this in the past.

Why was he so unreliable the moment he ascended the throne?

Could the Qing Kingdom have encountered a fatuous ruler?

Why didn't I see that the Crown Prince was so impulsive before?

The ministers couldn't help but exchange glances, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

Although Chen Xuan saw this, he did not care.

That's right, that's right. I'm just so unruly and reckless. I'm a fatuous ruler. The Qing Kingdom is about to perish. Hurry up and find me to resign!

In that case, I can promote some people who look capable but are actually very incompetent!

Chen Xuan smiled in his heart.
