C360 The Origin of Chi Sheng's Civil War
"Before Xiahou Wu climbed up to the center of power, he was undoubtedly a very simple man.
In his mind, there was only the northern border of Zhulu, which would allow those from the foreign countries who had invaded the Chisheng Kingdom to return to their hometown.
Unfortunately, as his position increased step by step.
Questions, disdain, suppression from all directions... surged towards him like a tide.
That's right.
At that time, the Chisheng Imperial Court had been under the surveillance of the officials for a long time.
They looked down on all the vulgar warriors.
They felt that these martial artists were not qualified to stand on equal footing with them in the Imperial Court.
In their eyes, martial artists should be the dogs they raised. They would bite whoever they wanted to!
They should not be like them, holding a portion of the authority in the court!
Even generals from ordinary noble families would be looked down upon by the civil officials at that time.
Not to mention Xiahou Wu, who came from a grassroots family.
Due to Xiahou Wu's outstanding military achievements, he became the Northern General of the four town generals at a young age.
This made many of the civil servants' faces turn green with envy.
They were like mad dogs, lunging at Xiahou Wu one after another, trying to pull this lowly one, who came from a grassroots background but held a high position in the military, off his horse.
Xiahou Wu, who had experienced the first court battle, was completely dumbfounded.
He could only watch the officials discredit him and attack him without restraint.
Thus, without any suspense, he was demoted from his post and expelled from the capital, returning to the border.
Unfortunately, Xiahou Wu was truly powerful.
Not long after, he once again leaped into the line of sight of the major figures of the court, relying on his great contributions.
This time, even the civil officials who hated him to the extreme were unable to make an article on rewards and punishments.
Because, the credit Xiahou Wu made was that he went deep into the north alone and captured the foreign chief in the royal court, forcing the millions of foreign bowmen to completely collapse.
That foreign country was even torn apart from then on, turning into countless small tribes, no longer able to threaten the Chisheng Kingdom!
At this point, the disaster that had invaded the northern border of the Chisheng Kingdom for nearly a thousand years had completely subsided.
With such a huge contribution, if it was during the Dongzi period, not to mention becoming a Marquis, even becoming a King would not be a problem.
Therefore, the civil officials could only pinch their noses and decide on a reward for Xiahou Wu once again.
But the civil officials would definitely not give up.
How could they watch an extremely hateful person appear in front of them again and flaunt his power?
In terms of individual strength, the officials were naturally not Xiahou Wu's match.
However, in terms of the evil water in their stomachs, a thousand Xiahou Wu plus one could not compare to these civil servants.
Soon, a rather gossipy rumor began to spread across the streets and alleys of the capital.
The rumor vividly described how Xiahou Wu had heroically swept through the royal court of a foreign country. After capturing the foreign chief, not only did the concubines of the foreign chief not hate Xiahou Wu, they were even attracted by his heroism.
Thus, the hot-blooded Xiahou Wu and the beautiful concubines began a world-shaking, soul-stirring love story.
Both sides started a war in the royal court, from early to late, and from late to early in the morning.
This battle lasted for seven days and seven nights.
It was said that even someone as strong as Xiahou Wu had lost a lot of weight.
As for the concubines, the sweat that flowed through their bodies during the battle had almost drowned Wang Ting.
Although this rumor was extremely absurd and gossipy.
But the people of the capital did not know of the sinister intentions behind this. They rejoiced at Xiahou Wu's' glory for the country 'and began to spread word of it with all their might!
When this rumor spread throughout the capital...
The civil officials of the court had finally used their trump card!
They had all jumped out and madly impeached Xiahou Wu for violating the rules, causing chaos in the foreign harem. If they had lost their benevolence, they would be severely punished!
At that time, the one in charge was Yonggu Emperor, Ji Erteng.
That's right, it was the Yonggu Emperor who liked the child molester and was eventually bitten to death by the child molester.
Don't look at how absurd his actions were, there was also a problem with his orientation.
But it was precisely because of this that he was extremely sensitive to words like messy harem.
Thinking about it, he left the concubines in his harem like flowers and jade, not picking them, but pampering the child molester instead.
How could those concubines not be lonely?
And once Xiahou Wu entered the Imperial Court, there would be a large number of opportunities to enter the palace and meet the emperor.
What if this fellow and the lonely concubines created some sparks and the heavenly thunder attracted the earth fire?
Wouldn't that mean that he was crowning Ji Erteng the Emerald Crown?
Although Yonggu Emperor had a very unique orientation, he was still a man.
How could he accept the fact that he had been crowned the Emerald Crown?
Therefore, just in case, Yonggu Emperor would naturally do as the civil officials wished.
He used this to reduce a portion of Xiahou Wu's rewards.
He was only appointed as the Northern General, stationed in the north forever, and was not allowed to enter the capital.
Under the encouragement of the officials, Yonggu Emperor even greatly reduced the number of troops in the north.
From the one million bowmen in the golden age of the northern border, it was forcefully reduced to fifty thousand old, weak, and disabled people.
Of course, there was a reason why the officials made such a suggestion.
The foreign countries in the north had been torn apart and no longer posed any threat.
With fifty thousand people stationed there, it was more than enough.
The other border armies should be moved to the east and west.
After all, the east side of Chi Sheng was adjacent to the Heavenly Flame Kingdom, while the west side was scattered with a few small countries.
These principality, although in name all followed Chi Sheng's lead.
However, in the dark, they were constantly making small movements!
Both parties were not completely on the same side.
Therefore, the elites of the north could move to the east and west sides and take the opportunity to strike at the surrounding countries!
Yonggu Emperor deeply agreed with this.
Therefore, Xiahou Wu, who had made a great contribution, only received the title of the Northern General.
Apart from that, he didn't get any benefits at all.
On the contrary, his military power was constantly reduced, and he became the laughingstock of all the countries.
At this point, Xiahou Wu finally saw through it.
He and those civil officials were born incompatible.
However, since things had come to this point, no matter how strong Xiahou Wu was, he could not turn the situation around.
Unless... he rebelled!
However, Xiahou Wu might have various shortcomings.
Untamed, arrogant, and bloodthirsty.
However, in terms of loyalty, he had never changed.
Even when he had military power, he had never thought of rebelling, let alone now.
Fortunately, the situation quickly changed.
When Yonggu Emperor was pampering a beautiful child molester who had just entered the palace, he was bitten to death by that child molester.
The sudden death of the king, coupled with the fact that he did not have any children.
This caused the originally hopeless younger brother of Yonggu Emperor, Ji Bai, to ascend to the position of king.
After Ji Baizhi succeeded the throne, his name changed to Baode.
It was Baode Emperor.
Different from Yonggu Emperor, Baode Emperor liked to dance with knives and guns.
Furthermore, he had a hobby - violence!
Therefore, Xiahou Wu, who was also bloodthirsty and brutal, immediately entered his eyes.
He ignored the objections of the civil officials and sent Xiahou Wu to the capital with an Imperial Decree.
After a detailed discussion with the Monarch, the two of them had a feeling that they hated each other for being late.
Due to the power of the civil officials in the court, even though Baode Emperor had supported the castrated child molesters left behind by the late king out of the Office of Rites.1
However, the Office of Rites did not have a good background and could not fight against the civil officials.
In order to regain the power of the Imperial Court, Baode Emperor secretly asked Xiahou Wu to form a force to fight against the civil officials.
Xiahou Wu, who had been disgusted by the civil officials, agreed without thinking.
He directly used the methods in the army on the court.
This fellow used the excuse of sending troops to Sky Flame Nation to start reorganizing the Imperial Court!
Those who refuse to submit, kill!
Those who disobey will be killed!
Those who delay the frontline aircraft will be killed!
In an instant, the entire Imperial Court was filled with blood!
The mighty Civil Official Faction was directly struck with a devastating blow!
