Chapter 1, Let's Change the Emperor (Part 2).

You, come here. I have something to ask you.

"Your Majesty, I have greatly disturbed you and deserve ten thousand deaths. Please grant me death." The guard with a sword immediately prostrated himself on the ground.

Actually, I don't need to explain it so cautiously. Sometimes, the emperor can execute someone without any reason.

Well, you all make valid points. I yawned repeatedly and waved my hand, saying, "However, I am really too tired today. I need to get a good sleep first. Let's discuss this matter after I wake up." With a weary look on my face, I disappeared in an instant.

Once back at the palace, I immediately sent Zhang Huang to find a highly skilled monk to help me shave off all the burnt hair.

As soon as I heard this, I snorted coldly in my heart. This Grand Tutor's influence is indeed not small. My expression immediately darkened: "Is he the emperor, or am I the emperor?"

Report to the Emperor, I, the humble Zhang Huang, am a third-rank imperial bodyguard. Zhang Huang replied steadily, with a calm and powerful tone, yet also conveying sincere respect. For these people, the Emperor is their heaven. If he wants them to live, they live. If he wants them to die, they die.

As soon as I thought of this, my face couldn't help but darken, and I coldly shouted, "Why haven't you put on your clothes yet? Do you want me to freeze to death?"

Suddenly, I noticed two palace maids kneeling in front of the dragon throne, not daring to look up at me.

I asked Zhang Huang to arrange the duty guards and also let him take a rest. Before leaving, I patted his shoulder and earnestly told him not to overwork himself and to take care of his rest. This simple care almost brought tears to his eyes.

I am really tired too. After experiencing so many things today, I haven't had a good rest yet. So I walked towards the dragon bed. Although this is not a real palace, the living facilities are complete.

What is your rank and sword status now? I asked the guard.

Arise, I pardon you of your crimes.I waved my hand.

Zhang Huang repeatedly apologized and finally followed my orders to secretly bring the old monk to the bedroom. Finally, the burnt scab on his head was successfully shaved off. As for whether those old men will commit suicide because of this, it remains to be seen. If they really do, it's also good, as it will save me a lot of trouble.

Who knows, the words have come to this point. There are still a few old ministers, tearfully telling me about the principles of filial piety, such as "the body is nurtured by one's parents".

So, those stubborn ministers dare not say much either. If the emperor falls ill from exhaustion, no one can bear the responsibility.

Then, an old minister with a white beard immediately wiped away his tears and put on a serious expression, saying, "Your Majesty, I would like to inquire about the details of the assassination attempt on Your Majesty, so that I can immediately order the Ministry of Justice to investigate this matter upon returning to the capital."

What are they doing here? I wondered for a moment. But then another thought came to mind, could it be? Haha, I could hardly contain the excitement in my heart.

What kind of world is this? I couldn't help but sigh. A single word determines life and death. The one who achieves merit is instead sentenced to death.

The eunuch immediately got up with agility, even I, a young man, felt ashamed. However, it makes sense for him to say "return to the palace" because the Temple of Earth is originally a palace.

Kill him. I pointed to the eunuch and said in a deep voice, "Immediately."

That Zhang Huang, then followed the dragon sedan chair guards on both sides. Obviously, because of my just conferred title, he has the qualification to guard by the side.

Although I see him kneeling down in worship, his whole body remains as steady as Mount Tai. Coupled with his previous swift movements, he is likely a master. I have always been a fan of martial arts novels and don't have much knowledge about this world. It would be a pity if I mistakenly killed a martial arts expert, wouldn't it?

Rise, all of you. I pardon you. I waved my hand and said, "Return to the Dai Temple." The mention of this Dai Temple was carefully considered before I spoke. This is the peak of Mount Tai, and I am well aware of it. No dynasty or country has ever been established near Mount Tai. The emperor's visit to Mount Tai is obviously for the purpose of performing the Fengshan ritual. And I happen to be from Tai'an, so I naturally know that ancient kings used to sleep in the Dai Temple. No dynasty or country has ever been established near Mount Tai.

And I happen to be from Tai'an, so I naturally know that ancient kings used to sleep in the Dai Temple.

Zhang Huang's expression of joy flashed and disappeared. After responding with even more respect, he immediately went to handle this matter eagerly. It seems that guy didn't expect that I would give him such an important task and authority right from the start.

In my heart, I was taken aback. This inconspicuous old man spoke with such authority, saying something about managing the Ministry of Justice. This indicates that his position is higher than that of the Ministry of Justice. Could he be a prime minister?

Who knew, those ministers who rushed here upon hearing the news immediately burst into tears and pleaded, saying not to do anything rash, like becoming a monk?

The Grand Tutor's words are reasonable. Another old man with a flowery beard bowed and said, "The Emperor was attacked, fortunately, he was blessed by the grace of heaven and escaped unharmed. However, this is a major event in the world and should be thoroughly investigated and dealt with."

All of a sudden, I thought of something again. It is often depicted on TV that the chances of an emperor being assassinated during an outing are quite high. It is chilling to think about, the emperor hasn't even had his fill of enjoyment yet, and he is already assassinated.

In the original world, I have never experienced the benefits of power. But I always mock many people and pursue power at all costs. Alas, power is indeed attractive.

I watched his shoulders twitching incessantly and thought to myself, "Is it really necessary?" In my era, which leader didn't know how to do this?

In the eyes of the armed guard, a sharp light flashed immediately, and I couldn't see how the knife in his hand was used. All I could see was the eunuch's head flying up without even a scream, rolling to the side with a horrified look remaining on his face.

I'll let it go. As a newcomer, it's not good to risk losing the lives of several old ministers. As long as we can smooth things over with a laugh and prepare to shave off a troublemaker's head when they're not around.

Hmph, daring to mock me. You must be tired of living. I muttered to myself with a hint of bitterness in my heart. Ah, for the sake of my own life, I have suddenly become so cruel.

The guard with a sword immediately approached respectfully and knelt down, saying, "Please give your orders, Your Majesty."

Even the eunuch trembled as he helped me put on the dragon robe, and I could even hear the sound of his teeth chattering.

Birthmark, I shuddered. I remembered that guy's chest, which was clean and without any birthmarks. This little eunuch must have been serving that guy to change clothes, so he naturally knew that his master's chest had no birthmarks.

Perhaps, this Haung is also wondering how he got so lucky today. He helped the emperor kill a eunuch and was promoted two levels and even became one of the emperor's confidants.

Speaking of which, he even put on a ghostly appearance as if he would immediately crash into a pillar and die if I didn't listen to his advice. It was so annoying that I couldn't help but start to understand those guys who didn't want to be emperors. I guess he just couldn't stand being tormented by these guys.

Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor for ten thousand years. Even Zhang Huang, known for his composure, couldn't hide his joy when he heard this news. The title of a first-rank guard with a sword may not mean much, but the fact that he is always by the Emperor's side indicates that the Emperor intends to cultivate him as a trusted confidant.

I'm sorry, little eunuch. I sighed inwardly, but in order to save my own life, I have to sacrifice you.

More and more people gathered around, and soon, a dragon sedan chair arrived in front of me. For a modern person, riding in a sedan chair is always something new and exciting. Of course, I was curious as well.

Thinking of this, he called Zhang Huang to his side and whispered, "I'm worried that there are still assassins around. You go and bring more guards with knives to the side of the dragon sedan. I entrust everything to you. Don't let me down."

Oh, have I ever said I want to become a monk? I put on an arrogant air and scolded them fiercely, just to show that I only wanted to shave off the burnt hair.

Zhang Huang was taken aback and looked troubled, "Your Majesty, Lord Grand Tutor..."

Zhang Huang? Very well, I now grant you the position of a first-rank sword-bearing imperial guard. I chuckled lightly, "Always by my side."

Immediately everyone fell silent, and no one dared to make the slightest sound.

Finally got rid of those old men, and forcibly brought Zhang Huang into the palace. Then he went to call the old monk back.

As soon as I saw hundreds of armed guards standing by the sedan chair, my heart couldn't help but feel relieved. However, when I thought about myself becoming a scapegoat, a bitter smile crossed my mind.

It turns out he is the Grand Tutor! I glanced at that old man again, feeling a wave of sorrow for the emperor in my heart. This old man, who was just now seeking death and seeking life, is the most enthusiastic. With him as the emperor's teacher, it is truly lamentable.

Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life.

"Raise your head and let me have a look." Now that I am an emperor, I cannot appear too eager. I remind myself of this constantly to maintain my dignity.

As I watched those people who were so intimidated by me that they didn't dare to move, I felt inexplicably elated. With just a word from me, their lives would be ruined. Their fate is completely under my control. This feeling is truly exhilarating. Could this be the feeling of power?
