Chapter 1619: Do They Know?!

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The more he understood the person he was loyal to, the more he felt that he would be a wise ruler. The people would have a good life because of him.

As long as the person he pledged loyalty to was a wise ruler, the people could live a good life, and the loyalty he had could become strong. He could secretly solve all the dirty, smelly, and bad things for the person he pledged loyalty to.

As for his own life and death, he did not care.

Life and death didn’t matter, let alone reputation!

Everyone said that he had climbed up by killing and fawning over the Emperor, but only he and his good friends knew that he was only sticking to his original intention, which was to help him reach his ambition.

Although there were still pests like Qiu Pusheng, and it felt like there was no end to the pests, he had to admit that Da Chen was getting better. More people were living and working in peace and contentment.

It could be foreseen that as long as the monarch and his subjects were united, the future of Da Chen was bright.

Sooner or later, the great love will be unprecedentedly prosperous.

“Hahahaha…” Qiu Pusheng suddenly stopped shouting and laughed like a maniac, as if watching a comedy skit.

Shi Yuan and Dou Chen looked at him.

Qiu Pusheng cackled.

Dou Chen’s expression was calm. He cupped his hands and bowed respectfully to Shi Yuan. “Your Majesty, leave this to me. I will see the end of it.”

Shi Yuan understood his good friend’s meaning. His good friend had always been decisive in handling matters. Since he no longer wished to die and had received the imperial edict, he would help him in the future to atone for his sins, so that Da Chen and the people would get to live a better life. Therefore, the matter of his good friend killing the former Emperor could not be spread.

He didn’t want this matter to spread as well.

At that time, many people hated the former Emperor and wanted to kill him. His good friend was not the only one.

However, his good friend did it for him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Then why should he cause any more controversy for such a ruler?

It wasn’t worth it.

Moreover, Qiu Pusheng had done so much worse. He had made all the officials in Lizhou rotten from top to bottom. He had also found excuses for the officials in Lizhou who had refused to submit. They were either stripped of their titles or killed. He had harmed many loyal officials. Moreover, the people in Lizhou had suffered so much in the past two years. Countless people had starved to death. He had also raised soldiers in secret. Those private soldiers were captured civilians. Those who did not listen were beaten to death… Every crime Qiu Pusheng did was unforgivable.

Therefore, Shi Yuan only nodded. Then, he turned around and walked out.

Qiu Pusheng’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He stopped laughing and started cursing like a madman. “Everyone says you’re a wise ruler. Shi Yuan, you’re a bad ruler!” A fatuous ruler!”

Seeing that Shi Yuan had left, Qiu Pusheng scolded Dou Chen. “You killed the previous Emperor, so you will suffer retribution sooner or later! Don’t think that just because I died, no one will know about this! You will go to Hell, Dou Chen! You and Shi Yuan will both go to Hell!”

“You know that the Heavens are watching. Think about what you’ve done.” Dou Chen said indifferently. “Me? Treasonous? Didn’t you have plans to kill His Majesty? That’s treason. If you had the means, you would have done it. The previous Emperor wanted to pass the throne to someone else, but he never thought of passing it to you. He didn’t even let you acknowledge your ancestors and let you be crowned a prince. He never cared about you. As for me, I am not afraid of Hell. However, the Emperor will not go to hell. Everything is your fault. You deserve more than a thousand cuts.”
