Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife-Chapter 603.1: Mother, The Demon King Has Returned, Save Me!

Mother, The Demon King Has Returned, Save Me! (1)

The little crown prince tilted his head. Truthfully speaking, the people by his side have told him quite a few things about his imperial father, and the reports of victory passed back from Southern Qi, he’d also frequently heard. Reasonably speaking, having such an imperial father, he should feel proud. Even if never having met before, he should still be able to produce childlike admiration. However, his thoughts inside were the exact opposite. He felt that his imperial father was practically just his greatest enemy, “Now that he’s done with Southern Qi, he can directly go fight Former Wei. Wasn’t it said that there’s currently a deadlock on Former Wei’s side? Isn’t imperial father considered a god of war? With him present, Former Wei will certainly get beaten into a wilted flower.”

Jing Wan was both happy and amused, patting the little crown prince’s butt, “What nonsense are you saying. If your imperial father were to know, once he comes back, he’ll definitely spank you.”

Jing Wan actually long discovered, her son was actually a precocious child, shockingly intelligent. Moreover, some things and some words, he simply didn’t know what it meant, but it didn’t get in the way of him using it. Just like for example, ‘in a deadlock’ and ‘beaten into a wilted flower’, if you really were to ask him in detail, he also won’t be able to explain clearly, but he can go in endless circles with you. Additionally, don’t know whether or not it was because when he was just born, his old man just left behind some psychological shadows on him, and right now, although he didn’t remember anything, he still had a natural born fear towards his old man, just like as if that was his natural born enemy. No matter how much they say, he was still unable to admire.

Jing Wan, because of knowing her husband’s dislike towards their son, compared to the others, actually told her son some truths. The people by her side all quite disapproved, but Jing Wan felt that facts were just facts. If they were to let her son hold too high of an expectation towards his imperial father, yet after coming back, discover that it wasn’t as he’d expected, then he would just be even more heartbroken and sad. Only by not holding expectations, when obtaining, would he cherish even more, and even if not obtaining, he also won’t feel anything.

Jing Wan actually didn’t say too much, just mentioning a few words every time. It also wasn’t that direct either, but the little guy seemingly understood it all, even deeply believing. That’s why, Jing Wan felt that even if she didn’t say, her son probably won’t be able to produce good feelings towards his old man either.

The little crown prince pitifully gazed up at Jing Wan, “These words, I’m just saying to imperial mother. Imperial mother won’t let imperial father know, right?”

Jing Wan patted his little butt again. This little bastard, just know how to act cute and spoiled in front of her. Once he leaves her line of sight, he was practically just a devil incarnate. The people in the palace that got messed with by him weren’t few. Furthermore, because he also had a pile of playmates, he was just a child king, leading the others in causing trouble, having the other families’ well-behaved children all led astray. And those naughty children really were like birds of a feather with him, becoming increasingly lawless and out of control.

However, who let him be the crown prince. In the palace, aside from the empress, he was just the biggest. Even if getting messed with by him, the palace servants also didn’t dare to say anything, even needing to have it treated as an honor, so they naturally didn’t dare to say anything in front of Jing Wan. Moreover, this sly little guy also won’t go provoke people such as Gong mama who would directly report to Jing Wan. Thus, in the beginning, Jing Wan was completely kept in the dark. Afterwards, it was still Gong mama that told her. In the end, it was still worrying that the little crown prince really will become lawless and out of control. Gong mama often assisted Jing Wan in handling the inner palace affairs. Even if the little crown prince didn’t mess with her, it was still impossible for her to not know.

Jing Wan had the little crown prince ruthlessly sorted out for once. This little bastard was actually obedient for a period of time. Just, in his heart, he was still thinking about the person that ratted on him, secretly wanting to have the person sought out. It goes without saying, he would catch the wrong person every time. Then again, no matter how intelligent and precocious, he was still just a child. How could he wrestle with Gong mama who came from the shadow guards?

In the end, he could only leave the matter unsettled. Just, he still felt indignant inside.

Upon seeing, Gong mama would occasionally laugh in spite of herself.

Southern Qi’s capital city got breached. The imperial family, aside from the portion that escaped, the rest all got killed. As for Southern Qi’s emperor, he sat upon the dragon throne, and the moment he saw Li Hong Yuan, he also died of poisoning. Speaking of which, it was probably for the sake of meeting Li Hong Yuan, see exactly what kind of person was this Yuan Qi Emperor, to actually just use three years to seize control of the entire Southern Qi. Just, in this last moment, exactly what he was thinking, probably only he himself knew. However, the final thoughts of a fallen country’s ruler, who would care.

Shortly after, Li Hong Yuan gave the order to pursue the escaped members of Southern Qi’s imperial clan. Don’t need to have them all killed, but the great majority can’t be kept.

It goes without saying, Southern Qi at this time has thoroughly perished, and Qi Yuan’s territory has expanded almost double in size.

And during this time, the most troublesome was still those scholars. These people can’t be rashly killed, else the troubles brought about will perhaps be endless.

However, what kind of temper did Li Hong Yuan have? It was obvious, he simply didn’t plan on paying these people attention. If they really were to annoy him, he can easily give the order to kill.

Li Hong Yuan gave the order to have those great scholars gathered together. Originally, these people still held up a lofty and unyielding stance, a look of ‘rather die than submit’. And after seeing Li Hong Yuan prepare fine wine and a feast, it was further lifting their chins into the air, using their nostrils to look at others.

TN: All

The people following by Li Hong Yuan’s side remained silent without a word. These people must be thinking that his Majesty is giving in to them, preparing to use the appeasement strategy. Heheh, really thought quite beautifully.

Just as expected, Li Hong Yuan was completely indifferent, pouring and enjoying the wine on his own, “Were you all thinking that this emperor really won’t dare to kill you all?”

“The winner crowned as king, the loser reduced to thieves, whether it’s killing or torturing, all according to your esteemed mouth.” Someone very unyieldingly said.

“Quite the backbone. However, what kind of temperament this emperor has, you all probably have some misunderstandings. After all, after attacking Southern Qi, this emperor didn’t carry out a massacre, so probably believed that this emperor perhaps liked battling, but still considered a benevolent ruler, right?”

Actually, this really was true.

“In Qi Yuan, prior to ascending the throne, this emperor was actually given quite an interesting nickname, known as the living Enma.” Li Hong Yuan faintly glanced at them, nonchalantly caressing the wine cup in hand. Seeing these people’s expression somewhat change, “Southern Qi has quite a few scholars, but compared to the entire population, it’s also merely an insignificant fraction. Spending some time to completely wipe out isn’t anything difficult either. Afterwards, have all the books searched out to burn, then carry out barbarian administration on this vast piece of land, and so long as someone is seen learning to read, or teaching others, immediately killed, in how many years do you all think the former people of Southern Qi will all be reduced to barbarians?”

The great scholars present, not a single one wasn’t shaking, the crowd completely furious, tremblingly pointing at Li Hong Yuan, “You, you, how can you, how can you dare to……..”

They perhaps didn’t care about their own life or death, even not caring about their clan getting exterminated, but Li Hong Yuan’s words truly were too horrifying, making them produce fear from the depths of their soul. As a scholar, their soul was forged by the many books. The higher the learning, the deeper the influence. Li Hong Yuan was breaking their root, extinguishing their soul.

Li Hong Yuan smiled, “What can’t this emperor do, what is there to not dare to do?”

“Such ridiculous, absurd, preposterous, going against human principles, down in the later generations, are you not afraid of getting cursed and criticized for all of eternity?”

“Tsk, this emperor has never thought of being a wise ruler. The people of the later generations, they can curse however they want, what does it have to do with this emperor? Even if getting one’s grave dug, one’s corpse getting thrown into the wilderness, plagued with karmic hinderances, so what?” Li Hong Yuan was quite composed.

These people perhaps never met someone like him before, and facing someone like him, it just meant that no matter how eloquent you were, it was all useless. “Right now, all citizens of Qi Yuan, you doing this…….”

“What citizens of Qi Yuan, didn’t you all refuse to acknowledge? Furthermore, even if citizens of Qi Yuan, to be thinking about causing trouble for this emperor all day, doesn’t this emperor further have the right to deal with as one pleases? This emperor’s patience is limited, so don’t waste your breath on these useless matters with this emperor.”

“Must you do this?”

“This emperor isn’t completely unreasonable either. See, the choice is in your hands, no?” Li Hong Yuan expressed that he was still very democratic.

After a long silence, finally, the first person bent their back, “Willing to offer one’s services to your Majesty.”

Shortly after, one after another started lowering their heads, “Willing to offer one’s scervices to your Majesty.”

Li Hong Yuan smiled, declining to comment, “Fine, take your seats. This emperor has specially arranged this banquet for everyone.”

“Many thanks your Majesty.” After ‘thinking things through’, they actually adapted quite quickly.

Just, the formerly delicious delicacies, eating in the mouth right now was just like chewing wax.
