The Future Empress Is Given Death At The Beginning, And I Become Stronger When I Am Stupid.

Great Qin.

Within Chang'an City.

These consecutive major events have left the people overwhelmed and unable to cope.

Four out of the five major events are related to Great Qin, to the point where they have been widely spread and almost everyone knows about them.

"Have you heard? Sun Scale King died in Qingmu Kingdom!"

"Is it true? Sun Scale King died in battle?"

"Not only that, but also forty-four civil and military officials in the court were executed. It is said that even a High Grade Spirit Weapon butcher knife was blunted!"

"How tragic!"

"Indeed! Look at the smell of blood, it's overwhelming!"

"I heard that Jiang Luoshen in the Northern Territory has gathered an army of five hundred thousand..."

...

The crowd is discussing fervently, and they are also shocked by the death of Sun Scale King.

After all, Sun Scale King held a high position and was a powerful vassal king. Now he has fallen into such a situation, truly showing the unpredictability of the world!

And it also involves court officials.

Although it is not explicitly stated, everyone understands it.

The death of Sun Scale King is probably not that simple.

For a while, people are filled with fear towards Qin Mu's ruthlessness and cruelty. Although they dare not say it out loud, they have already started cursing his incompetence in their hearts.

First, he killed the Northern Guardian King, then he executed the daughter of the Northern Guardian King, and then he killed important officials such as the Minister of Rites, the scholar of Literary Ocean Academy, and the envoy of Ash Moon, among others.

Now Sun Scale King has also died, along with forty-four court officials. These events have truly opened their eyes.

They can't figure out how incompetent one must be to make such foolish decisions.

What's even more intolerable to the world is that this foolish ruler not only kills people without reason, but also forcibly takes the wives and female relatives of those who were killed.

Such atrocities are simply outrageous!

But unfortunately, this foolish ruler is the backbone and symbol of the Great Qin Empire!

It truly sends a chill down one's spine!

However, even so, no one dares to stand up for Sun Scale King and seek justice.

Because anyone who dares to stand up has already died...

Without exception.

The Dark Divine Guards are like a sword hanging over everyone's head. Anyone who dares to protest will have their lives mercilessly taken by this sword.

For a while, Chang'an City is shrouded in gloom.

The streets are deserted, with hardly anyone walking around, making it feel empty and desolate.

The recent events of the past few days have been too chaotic and numerous, even surpassing the previous turmoil, leaving them exhausted.

Especially at this critical moment when rumors are flying and everyone is on edge, no one dares to show their face.

...

In the court.

Qin Mu has not yet attended the court session.

The remaining courtiers stand together in groups, whispering to each other.

"The Emperor has not attended the court session for seven days. I heard that he has been punishing the wives and female relatives of the beheaded officials in the Concubine Court Palace..."

"Poor old friend of mine, he was about to retire with honor, but his family was destroyed, and even his own wife..."

"Sigh, the most pitiful one is Sun Scale King. I saw with my own eyes that everyone in his mansion, from the queen to the maids, was taken to the imperial palace. They said it was to protect Sun Scale King's family, but I think it's to protect them in bed..."

"Let me remind you all, it seems that the Emperor has taken a liking to married women... I heard that even the four favorite concubines of Unfettered King were taken by the Emperor. During this time, it's better to keep your own wives from appearing in public..."

"It's getting more and more outrageous. Such foolish acts are a disgrace to our Great Qin!"

"Everyone should speak less. Do you also want to follow in their footsteps?"

"I'm not afraid anymore. If things continue like this, before the Ash Moon Dynasty arrives, Great Qin will have already perished. It's just a matter of time difference."

"This is the final madness, the final madness!"

"Sigh..."

All the courtiers sighed, their faces filled with despair, having no hope left for the fate of Great Qin.

So many colleagues had perished overnight, their homes destroyed and their loved ones gone. This impact was undoubtedly immense for them.

They had been grateful during this period that they had not been too involved with Sun Scale King.

But at the same time, they felt incredibly hopeless because even if they were not beheaded by the foolish ruler now, when Ash Moon Dynasty and Northern Jiang Luoshen attacked, they would not have a good outcome.

As for escaping, they had thought about it, but it was just wishful thinking.

Escaping now would only show their guilt, and they might even be labeled as traitors. What was the point?

As for betraying, that was even more unthinkable.

Unless they were tired of living.

Even the Three Green Wood Kingdoms, located on the outskirts of Great Qin's borders and possessing powerful Daoist experts, had been completely annihilated overnight.

Could they be stronger than these three kingdoms?

For now, they could at least survive and wait for a turning point in the future.

At this moment, all the ministers only hoped that when Ash Moon Dynasty occupied Chang'an City, they would show mercy and forgive them, the slaves of a fallen nation.

"Hmm, why hasn't the National Teacher come to court? He has never been late before."

At this moment, someone noticed that the National Teacher, Du Yulin, was not present in the court and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Perhaps the National Teacher is too disappointed in the Emperor, so he has decided not to attend court anymore..."

"Sigh, poor National Teacher, working so hard for Great Qin, but ending up with such an incompetent ruler. He must be feeling very uncomfortable..."

"Sun Scale King is dead, and Great Qin is already beyond saving. The National Teacher is probably disheartened."

A young official sighed.

"Everyone, let's not discuss this anymore. After all, we are in the court, and saying these things will only dampen the morale of Great Qin."

At this moment, a gentle voice came from outside the hall.

The discussions in the court immediately ceased.

The courtiers looked surprised and turned their gaze towards the entrance.

They saw a young man in white clothes, wearing a crown, holding a feather fan, and with a handsome face, walking slowly towards them.

"Unfettered King?!"

"Greetings to His Highness, Unfettered King."

"We pay our respects, Your Highness."

The courtiers straightened up and bowed in unison.

The person who arrived was none other than Unfettered King Qin Wuji.

"You don't need to be so formal, everyone." Qin Wuji said with a smile.

The courtiers stood up straight, but the surprise in their eyes had not yet dissipated.

Unfettered King never participated in politics, so why did he come to court today?

That was strange...

But strange as it was, a glimmer of hope ignited in the hearts of the courtiers because Unfettered King's reputation was no weaker than Sun Scale King's.

Since childhood, he had shown unparalleled cultivation talent and was greatly favored by an elder of the Great Qin Dynasty.

However, he disliked power and never interfered in politics, so he didn't have much presence in the court.

But he had a gentle personality, treated people kindly, and never acted like a prince. He had high prestige among the common people.

It was also said that when Unfettered King traveled in Ash Moon Dynasty a few years ago, he had a chance encounter with Ash Moon Empress.

If he could intervene, maybe he could negotiate with Ash Moon Empress.

Although they knew the hope was slim, at least there was still some hope.

Everyone looked at Qin Wuji with hopeful eyes.

And when Qin Wuji saw the change in their gazes, his heart couldn't help but tremble with excitement, his fingers trembling slightly.

He knew that after years of patience and planning, he could finally reap the rewards at this moment.
