Invitation declined: Multiverse Mall is now open for business

Page 134The other soldiers under Cao Cao’s command also fought desperately to stop them, knowing that the critical moment had arrived.

After this great battle, whether they live or die, their families will surely be rewarded with wealth and honor.

”Then let’s end it!”

Ye Hao also stood up and said calmly.

Those people from Xiliang who died are gone, but it’s not worth it for the others who saved him to die.

”Yan~”

A dazzling golden light emanated from Ye Hao’s body, accompanied by the sound of a dragon’s roar.

”Ang~”

A golden dragon, several dozen feet long, appeared in the main hall. Its scales were clearly visible, and its whiskers seemed to move with the wind. It also exuded an extremely terrifying aura.

Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms!

This is a grandmaster-level martial art in the world of kung fu.

”Oh!”

Dong Zhuo, who was charging ahead, was clawed bloody by the golden dragon. Hua Xiong, the fiercest general of Xiliang, was swept in two by the dragon’s tail. Other Xiliang generals were either blown into bloody mist or smashed into pieces.

Within moments, all the Xiliang generals had been killed.

”Sigh~”

Seeing this scene, everyone, including Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and the court officials, couldn’t help but gasp and look at Ye Hao with awe.

Divine dragon protects you!

The True Dragon Emperor!

May the gods protect you!

”He appointed Cao Cao as the Colonel of the Upper Army.”

”Huang Zhong was appointed as a captain in the central army.”

”Zhao Yun was appointed as a Colonel of the Lower Army.”

”Guan Yu was appointed as the Commandant of the Army.”

”Dian Wei was appointed as the Left Colonel of the Army.”

···

”Reclaim the military power of the Eight Colonels of the Western Garden as quickly as possible. Anyone who obstructs will be killed!”

Ye Hao, however, remained calm and quickly issued a series of appointments.

”Order Cao Cao to temporarily take command of the Eight Colonels of the Western Garden, with Xun You as his military advisor. Immediately close the gates of Luoyang, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving, and suppress all rebel forces within the city.”

”He appointed Xun Yu as the Prefect of Jingzhao to pacify the officials and the people.”

”Lu Zhi was promoted to Commandant of the Guards and was immediately summoned to gather all able-bodied men in Luoyang to arrange the city’s defenses.”

······

Ye Hao’s method was simple: first stabilize Luoyang City, and as for the Xiliang rebels outside the city, there was no need to rush.

”I will obey your orders!”

No one dared to offer any opinions; everyone responded with trepidation.

”Your Majesty, Cao Cao, the Colonel of the Upper Army, has taken control of the Upper Army.”

”Your Majesty, Colonel Huang Zhong of the Central Army has taken control of the Central Army.”

”Your Majesty, Commandant Zhao Yun of the Lower Army has taken control of the Lower Army.”

······

Ye Hao waited calmly, while the officials stood there sweating profusely and anxiously.

· 0 flowers requested · ······

No one was worried about whether they could quell the rebellion in Xiliang.

After the deaths of Dong Zhuo and a group of Xiliang generals, the Xiliang rebels were doomed to defeat.

What they are worried about now is their future.

The people His Majesty appointed to quell the rebellion were all newcomers, except for a few veteran officials such as Lu Zhi and Wang Yun.

Once these new recruits have finished quelling the rebellion, they will be rewarded according to their merits.

However, there are only so many official positions available.

However, no one dared to say anything.

Even aristocratic families like Grand Tutor Yuan Wei and Grand Master of the Palace Yang Biao stood obediently.

”Let’s go take a look at the city wall.”

Ye Hao walked outside as he spoke, and the officials quickly followed.

”Immediately order the eight colonels of the Western Garden and the main army of Bingzhou to attack the rebels from both sides.”

On the city wall, Ye Hao glanced at the battle briefly and said calmly.

With no leader, the Xiliang army cowered in a group in the face of Lü Bu’s attack and was no longer a threat.

”Anyone who commits adultery or plunder shall be killed without mercy.”

Before noon, upon seeing the heads of Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, and other Xiliang soldiers, the Xiliang army, led by Lü Bu, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and others, was routed.

..... ..... ...

”Imperial summons: Governors and Inspectors of all prefectures are to come to the capital to meet the Emperor and report on their duties!”

”Summon Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Jia Xu, Fa Zheng... to the capital immediately!”

After dealing with Dong Zhuo’s rebel army, Ye Hao set his sights on the entire Han Dynasty, intending to sweep through it.

”Your Majesty is wise and powerful, possessing great talent and strategy. You have now quelled Dong Zhuo’s rebellion. To allow the whole nation to rejoice, shouldn’t Your Majesty select women from respectable families to enrich your harem...?”

Lu Zhi and Wang Yun cautiously approached Ye Hao and reported the situation.

The emperor has changed too much; his methods are too ruthless.

This made the officials very uneasy.

Those officials who chose to remain neutral during the suppression of Dong Zhuo were especially terrified.

As for the officials who sided with Dong Zhuo?

They have all been beheaded.

”Yuan Ling, granddaughter of Grand Tutor Yuan Wei.”

”Yang Jing, daughter of Yang Biao, Grand Master of the Palace.”

···

”Diao Chan, adopted daughter of Wang Yun, Grand Master of Ceremonies.”

···

”Cai Yan, daughter of the great Confucian scholar Cai Yong.”

···

”Zhen Jiang, also known as Zhen Mi, is the daughter of Zhen Yi, a wealthy man from Wuji.”

···

”A prominent family in Wancheng, the Qiao family, daughters of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.”

···

The cloth that Lu Zhi handed over contained the names of thousands of people, including daughters of officials, noble families, wealthy merchants, and some beauties with far-reaching fame.

If Ye Hao hadn’t been so powerful, it would have taken him ages to finish reading.

”Your Majesty, for the sake of the stability of the realm, we beg Your Majesty to bring these virtuous women into the harem.”

Wang Yun, who was standing to the side, kowtowed and bowed.

In the past, it’s likely that very few noble families, officials, or even wealthy merchants would be willing to send their legitimate daughters to the palace.

But things are different now.

Your Majesty is blessed by the true dragon, the Son of Heaven, and will surely revive the Han Dynasty.

Top-tier families like the Yuan and Yang families, for the sake of face, only sent one legitimate daughter.

Some middle-class families and wealthy merchants had no such concerns and usually gave two gifts, some even giving four or five.

”Your Majesty, the world is in chaos, with various forces intertwined and the people feeling uneasy.”

”If Your Majesty were to bring all these respectable women into the harem, it would reassure them and facilitate Your Majesty’s implementation of your policies.”

Lu Zhi also spoke with a sincere expression.
