IPPWR Chapter 26. Tyrant (26) I heard I killed my father to usurp the throne 

The first year of Jinghe, August 17.

The emperor of Beili set up an altar to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. Opening the dragon vein and determining the fate of the country for ten thousand years.

This day is therefore regarded by later generations as the “beginning of the prosperous era”.

——The prosperous era of humanity has begun since then.

Standing at the top and under the altar, was a figure followed by countless eyes. As the emperor’s sword fell slowly from top to bottom, there seemed to be a sudden thunder falling between heaven and earth.

Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers trembled together, as if thousands of miles of mountains and rivers were enlightened at this moment. Turning into a circling stretched body of a dragon, coming to ‘life’ from the stimulation.

Since then, the dragon vein of the nation’s fate, which only exists in people’s concept, has become a real existence.

Yuan Buwei seemed to be integrated with the illusory dragon vein. At this moment, he soared into the infinite sky and looked down at the earth from the clouds.

He saw countless golden light spots rising from the ground, just like the boundless stars in the sky. That’s the luck of all living beings.

In most of the light spots, there is a little fluorescence, which converges towards the dragon vein of Beili and is put into the nation’s luck and fate together – which signifies the aspiration of all the people.

There are also a few light spots gathered together, which are obviously small groups that are not part of the nation’s fate. If you look carefully, you will find that the light spot groups are particularly obvious in the sky above the south, while the north is already a brilliant golden starry sky.

The dragon vein of the nation’s fate has the trend of uniting the will of the masses. The central plains have been in turmoil for several years and the luck of the north has been stagnant. When the original body reclaimed the north the luck there began to rejuvenate. After Yuan Buwei accesended to the throne and forcibly promoted a series of new policies, the people were excited.

At this time of opening the dragon vein of the nation’s fate by Yuan Buwei’s initiative, it was like the rising sun breaking through the clouds. With an eruption,  the whole world was shocked in an instant.

Although ordinary people can’t see the amazing sight, they also became enlightened. They felt that there seemed to be something wrapping around them, like an invisible connection with the land under their feet.

This is an extremely subtle feeling.

The invisible wind and thunder shook heaven and earth. The young emperor holding his sword slowly turned around. Behind him, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers were subdued at his feet.

With the combination of the nation’s fate and humanity’s favour, Yuan Buwei has the feeling that he can overlook the entirety of Beili with a single thought.

What he did was nothing more than a groundbreaking move in this small world. In the past, no one could imagine opening up the dragon vein of the nation’s fate. Something that only exists in fantasies.

As the pioneer, Yuan Buwei got the greatest benefit. The air of luck around him was extremely strong for a while and his every move contained a terrifying majesty.

As if he truly contained the mandate of heaven.

The ministers under the altar almost dared not breathe.

Intuition tells them that if they dared to have the slightest misguided thoughts about his Majesty in their hearts at this time, it may lead to unimaginable consequences.

“Is this the power of the gathered imperial court and human dao?”

Yuan Buwei was secretly pondering the new special power in his body. Although it did not improve his strength in the slightest, it made him feel like he suddenly became the protagonist of the world.

“Even so, this power should not be abused. If the people’s hearts are with me, the general trend is with me and all evils will be warded off. If the people’s hearts leave me for a moment, the future will become perilous…”

For example, the person in charge of the attempted to assassination not long ago…

The cold wind was rustling on the top of the mountain, Yuan Buwei looked to the south curiously.

In his sight, the endless golden aura is like a torrent waterfall, or a golden angry dragon that has broken free from its chains and is rushing away with amazing power.

Those scattered golden light spots collapsed under the erosion of the torrent waterfall, dimmed one by one, and then disappeared.

Soon after, the patriarchs of the three great families in the south, died of a serious illness together. The succeeding patriarchs also died in an accident within three days, followed by the next one, then the next one, then the next one…

In a short period of half a month, the bloodline of the three great families died one after another, either due to disease, accidental or purposely. Except for one of them who had a baby who had just been born, the bloodlines of the other two families were completely cut off.

No matter how others investigate, they have not found any human involvement. It seemed more like an appalling curse.

There are all kinds of rumours spread among the people, among which the most widely spread one is that the three great families lost all their conscience, bullied the people, colluded with hostile countries and attempted to assassinate the emperor… This all leads to heaven’s anger and divine punishment.

This statement is widely spread among the people, but other aristocratic families don’t believe it much. They prefer to believe that the emperor was behind it.

After all, on the same day that the patriarchs of the three great families died, the emperor offered sacrifices to heaven and earth on the mountain and opened up the dragon vein!

With the development of the dragon vein, the theory of luck has spread. It is said that the emperor is blessed with the nation’s luck. So the assassin did not die and was captured alive; the three great families failed and they also died miserably.

For a time, the rest of the nobles were as quiet as a chicken.

Even if the dominating mountain army had been withdrawing one after another, these people did not dare to make any small moves. Instead, they began to take the initiative to cooperate with the decree issued by the imperial court.

After all, no matter how important the family foundation is, it’s better to preserve the lives of the family. The foundation industry can be created again. Once you follow the footsteps of those companions, everything will become ashes in the wind!

Not only those aristocratic families who choose to be soft think so, but also the civil and military officials of the court suspect that the emperor secretly moved a black hand, which can’t help but secretly shudder!

Yuan Buwei knew what these people thought.

But he didn’t plan to explain.

Reputation and other external things are unimportant. On the contrary… It would be very interesting to see some people who are particularly concerned about reputation, lose their reputation.

If he is willing to slow down, pretend a little bit and deal with them slowly, maybe five or ten years later, he can indeed remove all the cancer without bloodshed. However Yuan Buwei is impatient to spend time on unimportant people.

Awe is also an emotion that can be used. As long as these tool people can fulfil their duties obediently and don’t affect his plans, it’s enough.

However, such a strong backlash of luck is a special occurrence. These noble families just happened to catch up with the “special period” – when the dragon veins were first opened up, the backlash of luck was like a flash flood that exploded out.

After the explosion, the mountain torrent turned into a gentle trickle. Even if the assassination of the emperor happened again in the future, there would not be such a terrible counterattack.

Those people don’t know this, and he won’t volunteer the information. He calmly accepted their submission.

Now that the dragon vein has been opened up and the nation’s fate has taken shape, the next thing to do is naturally to continue to gather the momentum of the world, collect the wishes of all the people and let the nation’s fate in Beili develop and grow.

There are three bloody noble families as examples in front of them. At this time, there is an unprecedented “unity” in Beili.

The ministers took the initiative and offered suggestions. In the five great edicts put forward before, they continuously refined and improved many small details.

——Facts have proved that there were never any stupid and incompetent ministers, only ministers that lacked drive. Obviously, the deterrence Yuan Buwei brought to them is sufficient.

Just as there is no useless tool man in the world, only a lack of people can wield tools.

He is undoubtedly an expert in this field and knows well #108 ways to use tool people manual#.

If the late emperor was reborn and saw these ministers who were always unable to come to an agreement now being exploited by Yuan Buwei. Each one more eager and active to take the initiative to do overtime, working from 9am to 9pm. Each displaying self taught rainbow fart skills and one speaking better than the next, perhaps the former emperor will only have one thought in his mind.

——These fools before, weren’t playing me?

Yuan Buwei was very satisfied with this.

Humble false tyrant: Wake up when the rooster crows, sleep when the dog barks. A large amount of government affairs bad for the health. It seems that the power is centralised on one person, but in fact he is relaxed all year round and is reviled by people all over the world. At any time, can someone try to assassinate the king and become famous all over the world!

Humble false tyrant: do whatever you want, do whatever you want. There are countless tool people sharing government affairs and the rainbow fart essence are on stand by at all times. Countless people curse in their hearts, but they dare not take action. They can only watch the tyrant do whatever he wants. On the surface, they are also willing to flatter and be driven by him!

… Perfect :).

The author has something to say: explain, it’s still an ordinary world, no magic. Gaining luck is similar to gaining a buff.
