Chapter 447 Rumors
When Qin Wu and his wife finally ended their unimaginably long, multi-million-year-long seclusion and cultivation, the entire world seemed to have undergone countless transformations. However, for Qin Wu, the most important thing at this moment was to understand the various changes that the Qin Dynasty had experienced over those millions of years.
Therefore, Qin Wu summoned his trusted guards immediately after leaving the pass, but did not reveal a word to others. When the guards rushed over, they saw Qin Wu sitting upright on the magnificent dragon throne, calmly watching the people who had come to pay their respects below.
"What has been the situation outside during my seclusion?" Qin Wu's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority that made people dare not be negligent in the slightest.
The commander of the imperial guards quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty, since you went into seclusion, the overall situation of the Great Qin Dynasty has been relatively stable. However..." At this point, the commander of the imperial guards hesitated slightly, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.
Qin Wu frowned slightly upon seeing this, and said in a deep voice, "Speak freely!"
Having received the emperor's permission, the commander of the imperial guards took a deep breath and continued, "In recent years, some ministers in the court have secretly formed cliques and sought to expand their own power; rebellions have also occurred frequently in the provinces, though they have all been swiftly suppressed, they are still a cause for concern. Furthermore, the surrounding powers are also eyeing our Great Qin Dynasty covetously, constantly making small moves..."
As the commander of the personal guards reported in detail to Qin Wu about the situation outside over the years, Qin Wu's expression grew increasingly grim. He hadn't expected that just a few thousand years of seclusion would lead to so many problems.
At the same time, the commander of the personal guards took out various documents he had prepared beforehand and respectfully presented them to Qin Wu. These documents detailed every major event that had occurred in recent years, as well as the background and movements of the relevant figures.
After receiving the documents, Qin Wu listened attentively to the report from the commander of his personal guards while carefully reviewing the files in his hand. A cold glint occasionally flashed in his deep, abyss-like eyes as he pondered to himself who had given those people such audacity to plot against him while he was in seclusion.
"Their audacity is truly astounding! I just wonder if their strength matches their wolfish ambitions," Qin Wu said with a cold smile and disdain.
In his eyes, these people were nothing more than a bunch of clowns jumping around.
As for the surrounding factions, they are not worth worrying about; such minor skirmishes are impossible to eliminate.
As long as they don't start a large-scale war, Qin Wu won't bother with them.
Next, the commander of the personal guards gave Qin Wu a detailed report on how the 56th Army had been wreaking havoc on the lower regions like hungry tigers over the years.
Furthermore, he entrusted Qin Wu with the research results of the past years, which he treasured.
After Qin Wu carefully reviewed the research findings, he couldn't help but smile broadly.
The research findings were like a guiding light, giving Qin Wu a lot of inspiration, although he also took many detours along the way.
In fact, it was only when the Great Dao Merit descended like sweet rain that Qin Wu fully understood, as if enlightened, why he was able to successfully merge the fortune of the Qin Dynasty with the Qin Imperial Domain.
It turned out that it was the help of the Great Dao's merits that enabled him to accomplish all of this so easily.
If he hadn't comprehended the Emperor's Law back then, he probably wouldn't have been able to complete the fusion of the Qin Dynasty's fortune and the Qin Emperor's Domain.
"I am already aware of this matter. Immediately summon Liufeng to come before me." Qin Wu spoke slowly, his face ashen, his voice carrying an undeniable authority. Then, as if remembering something important, he added, "Oh, right! Remember, you must not leak even a trace of news of my departure from the pass." Though his voice was not loud, it carried an undeniable air of authority.
Qin Wu secretly pondered that this was an excellent opportunity to investigate just how many demons and monsters were lurking within the Qin Dynasty. He decided to seize this chance to thoroughly eliminate these hidden dangers within the Qin Dynasty and restore order to the court.
The commander of the personal guards standing below respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will obey Your Majesty's orders and will act with utmost care, ensuring that no word is leaked." After saying this, he bowed and withdrew.
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Liu Feng, who was far away, finally received an urgent message from the capital. Upon learning that His Majesty the Emperor had summoned him, he dared not delay and traveled day and night, rushing back to the capital without stopping.
Upon entering the palace hall, Liu Feng immediately spotted Qin Wu sitting on the dragon throne. He quickly stepped forward, knelt down, and kowtowed, saying, "Your humble servant Liu Feng greets Your Majesty. Congratulations on your successful seclusion and cultivation, which has reached a new level."
Qin Wu slightly raised his hand to gesture for him to rise, a barely perceptible smile appearing on his face, and said slowly, "No need for formalities, Liufeng. I have urgently summoned you back to the capital because I have an important matter to entrust to you. I need you to personally take charge of the capital and secretly investigate those treacherous individuals within my Great Qin Dynasty. You must find out their backgrounds and conspiracies."
After a pause, Qin Wu's eyes sharpened as he stared intently at Liu Feng and continued, "Not only that, you must also find a way to lure these lurking demons out of their holes, so that they can be wiped out in one fell swoop, leaving no one alive." When he said the last few words, Qin Wu's tone became noticeably heavier, revealing a chilling killing intent.
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng's expression hardened, and he clasped his hands in a fist salute, replying, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, this humble subject will do his utmost to complete the mission and live up to Your Majesty's trust." Afterwards, the two discussed the specific action plan and details in hushed tones…
After the initial shock subsided, the news of Emperor Shenwu and Empress Shenwu's deaths during their seclusion spread like wildfire, becoming increasingly outrageous and uncontrollable.
Some people were already on tenterhooks, unable to suppress their inner turmoil any longer, and even began to secretly collude in an attempt to seize power.
For a time, the Qin Dynasty was like a lake whose waters had been stirred up, and chaos ensued.
However, they were like frightened birds, eager to make a move but also wary, and dared not be too reckless.
After all, whether the emperor and empress truly perished remains shrouded in mystery.
Before the mystery is solved, they dare not easily cross the dynasty's bottom line, as if walking on a tightrope, where a slight misstep would plunge them into an abyss.
Furthermore, the 56 ethnic groups remain at their zenith, their overwhelming power like a mountain pressing down on them, making them far beyond what they can easily challenge.
