Novel Bin Chapter 183: Unify.
Southern Ming Imperial Palace.
Many guards with sharp eyes were going back and forth in patrolling the area.
“The person who went in to meet His Majesty just now, should be the envoy of the Tang Empire, right?” A guard (Guard A) lowered his voice and asked cautiously.
“Apart from the Tang Empire’s envoy, who else can see His Majesty at this time?” The other guard at the side, (Guard B) first looked around before replying.
“So that’s how it is.”
Guard A nodded. He then suddenly thought of something, and worriedly said: “The Tang Empire’s Envoy’s aura was hidden, he was obviously a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster and we let him go in to see His Majesty? What if the other party has malicious intentions and wants to assassinate His Majesty?”
“Assassinate?”
Guard B’s mouth smiled and said: “You really don’t know His Majesty’s methods. Currently, there are many powerhouses beside His Majesty, and there is more than one Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmaster. A trifling Grade 1 wanting to assassinate His Majesty is tantamount to a dream!”
Guard B said with absolute certainty.
“The Tang Empire may have a Legend, but he is not here and it is simply impossible to threaten His Majesty from several tens of thousands of li away.”
“The Southern Ming Empire dominates the Southeast and supports several millions. How can the Tang Empire easily bully us?”
Guard B proudly said every word.
Guard A was shocked, and felt that this was indeed the case.
However, just then, a terrifying pressure suddenly came from the Great Hall. It then enveloped the entire Imperial Palace.
Under this pressure, all of the guards, Eunuchs and maids, fell to the ground, as if they were facing heavenly might.
“This is?”
The two guards who were talking just now were frightened to disgrace. They looked at the Great Hall, where the Ming Emperor was staring in disbelief.
…
In the Great Hall.
In the eyes of the Ming Emperor, Eunuch Liu was no different to a corpse. But at this moment, his expression changed to that of seeing a ghost.
The Officials also saw a scene that they would never forget.
The token that’s held high by Eunuch Liu, emitted a bright light. Amidst the endless light, a figure sitting cross-legged was looking towards this side.
[Bang~]!!!
A torrent of monstrous pressure descended.
From the Ming Emperor, down to the hundreds of Officials, all of them knelt down; as if they could not even bear the line of sight of this figure.
“You are?”
The Ming Emperor was dumbstruck.
He didn’t expect, even in his wildest dreams, that the token in Eunuch Liu’s hand would bring forth such a phenomenon.
“Is that the Legend of the Tang Empire?”
In a flash, the Ming Emperor quickly realized something, and his heart trembled.
“Is this a Legend?”
The several Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmasters standing beside the Ming Emperor knelt down and dared not even raise their heads.
Originally, with the help of the recovering vitality, they became Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmasters. They thought that they were standing on top of the world. Even though they were still far from Legend Realm, they could at least hold their heads up a little.
But now?
Not to mention the actual Legend in the Tang Empire, they can’t even bear his shadow, despite them being separated by several tens of thousands of li.
The gap between them was too big!
It was so big, that it’s like an ant wanting to look up at the vast sky!
Compared with the shock and fear of other people in the Great Hall, Eunuch Liu was somewhat confused.
“It’s the Third Uncle.”
But then Eunuch Liu was overjoyed. He immediately bowed to the shadow, appearing in the endless rays of light emerging from the token.
At this moment, the token did not need Eunuch Liu to hold it anymore, as it floated in the air by itself.
“So you dare to refuse?”
Su Qin slowly walked out of endless rays of light.
This was just a strand of his Divine Sense placed in the token. Although its power was far less, there would be no problem in suppressing the Southern Ming Empire.
“Since you refuse, then you can go die.”
Su Qin looked at the Ming Emperor and slowly raised his right hand.
At this moment, the Ming Emperor felt his whole body trembling to the extreme. The endless rays of light in front of him gave him an unprecedented amount of pressure.
This was not the oppression of the power level, but the oppression of the Life Essence itself.
The Ming Emperor knew that if he continued to remain silent at this time, he would never be able to speak again.
“My Lord.”
“I have something to say.”
The Ming Emperor took a deep breath and shouted loudly: “Since My Lord took action, I am very willing to see the Tang Empire dominate the world.”
“But the world is vast. Even if there is a Legend like My Lord, it will take at least decades for the Tang Empire to do so.”
Su Qin stopped pressing his right hand and looked at the Ming Emperor with interest.
When the Ming Emperor saw this, he was slightly happy, and immediately continued: “But if I am alive, I can help the Tang Empire. At least, if the Tang Empire wants to unify the Southern Ming Empire, it will not take long.”
The Ming Emperor’s tone was cautious, he was afraid that Su Qin would strike.
The Southern Ming Empire dominated in the Southeast, and the situation in the territory was complicated. If it weren’t for the suppression of the Ming Emperor, it would have been a mess.
Therefore, if the Ming Emperor was willing to take the initiative to sort out the various forces for the Tang Empire, it would definitely have a huge effect on the Tang Empire’s conquest.
It was because of this fact that the Ming Emperor was confident and dared to put forward the conditions, despite knowing that the Tang Empire had a Legend like Su Qin.
The Ming Emperor knew his ‘value’.
“Really?” Su Qin indifferently said: “Unfortunately, you look at yourself too highly.”
Su Qin’s words barely sounded when the Ming Emperor’s body shook. He then turned into powder and disappeared from the world.
“Surrender or die, you decide your fate.”
After Su Qin killed the Ming Emperor, he looked at the other people in the Great Hall. After saying this, his figure disappeared, and the endless rays of light immediately converged within the token.
“I am willing to surrender.”
“I will surrender.”
“My Lord, please don’t kill me.”
Many Officials were so scared that they all knelt on the ground because of weak knees. They cried out to Eunuch Liu. Well to be precise, it was to the token in Eunuch Liu’s hand.
After witnessing the Ming Emperor turning into nothingness, how could they still think of rebelling?
There may be some loyal Officials, but now the Emperor was gone. If one dared to continue to resist, they would only suffer the same fate as the Ming Emperor and disappear.
After one day, the Southern Ming Empire appointed a new Emperor and ascended the throne. Immediately after, they sent a letter of surrender to the Tang Empire.
At the same time, in the other six countries, such as the Northern Song Empire and Tubo Empire, they also submitted their own letters of surrender almost at the same time. They did not dare to mention any conditions.
Under the suppression of absolute power, no matter if it was the Ming Emperor or the rest of the countries, they did not dare to resist. As for the confidence that they possessed ‘value,’ it was shown that was not worth mentioning.
If one doesn’t surrender, then choose someone who was willing to surrender to be the Emperor. The Imperial Family of the six countries had many heirs and there would always be someone with no backbone.
