Doomsday Code

Chapter 189 Sad

After Moss XIII finished reading the case file in his hand, he closed it with a snap.

At this moment, the curiosity on his face was gone, and his whole body exuded an extremely gloomy mood.

“This is outrageous. Since I, King Moss XIII, ascended the throne, I have avoided unnecessary and meaningless wars abroad and reduced the burden on the people at home.

Internally, I reformed the political system, with the Executive Yuan in charge of all government affairs and the various ministries checking and balancing each other.

At the same time, he took control of all military power in the world, and truly eliminated the cruel and bloody politics.

I think I have done a good job since I ascended the throne. I have not only used the money from foreign wars to build the people's livelihood at home, but also repaired water conservancy projects and reduced taxes. Although I am not as good as those ancient sage kings, I think I am not worse than them.

But now look at these little beasts. Not only do they not strive for progress and share my worries, but they are also willing to murder their own brothers just for the sake of this position.

Then after I die, when the history books record my achievements, they will write that Moss XIII failed to educate the prince properly, which led to the tragedy of the royal brothers killing each other. "

By the time Moss XIII finished speaking, his face had turned red with anger.

"This is really against the will of heaven. How can I meet the previous kings after I die?"

Moss XIII was so angry that he punched the stone pillar in front of him. With a crack, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the granite pillar.

At this time, Moss XIII ignored the cracked stone pier, but looked at the church in the city with angry eyes.

Then he looked at the mansion given to the eldest prince in the city, and his eyes were full of disappointment.

If the Queen's family was not so incompetent, if the Queen's family was not so entrenched, why would he delay in appointing an heir?

If Jinmu could have gotten rid of the influence of his mother and the old man Qusai when he was sixteen years old, and if he dared to obey the imperial edict and go to the fiefdom bestowed on him, then in his heart Jinmu could still be saved.

It's not that he hadn't thought about the fact that his eldest son, who had been smart since childhood, was deliberately pretending to be nice to Qu Sai and the others. However, when he didn't have the courage to obey the emperor's orders, all his pretense was seen by Moss XIII as a manifestation of his inner cowardice.

Thames XIII also pretended to be submissive, but in the end he promoted Hormuis, reformed the political system, and took back the country's military power, so that the archon power headed by Hormuis and the religious power headed by Qusser formed two mutually balanced forces.

And what Guan Jinmu did was to blindly listen to these people. Even if he secretly planted some people, it was insignificant because it was all under the supervision of Qusai and others.

Even if he was allowed to ascend the throne in the end, and he really wanted to make a stunning debut, by that time he would probably either be oppressed by powerful officials and become depressed, or there would be war in the country, and he would eventually lose his country because of his overambitiousness.

Moss XIII slowly suppressed his outburst of emotions and turned back into the somewhat cynical king.

Moss XIII wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then smiled and said:

"Aoi, I'm so sorry for letting you see my ugly appearance."

Aoi Yi still stood behind Moss XIII with that cold and silent look.

Moss XIII handed the case file in his hand to Aoi behind him and said after a moment of silence:

"Burn it, but keep the archived copy."

After saying this, Moss XIII sighed heavily.

And Aoi Yi did not hesitate at all. After receiving his order, he burned the case file in front of him.

"Hey, Aoi, please sit down. Tell me if I am a failure. My eldest sons are willing to harm their brothers just for that damn reputation."

Moss XIII sat on the stone bench and asked Aoi to sit down with him.

Kui Yi glanced at Moss XIII at this time. He knew that the king would only show such an expression in front of him, the palace priest.

After a long silence, Aoi's somewhat dry voice was heard saying:

"You haven't failed. It's just that your sons have grown up, and the temptation of the position you are sitting in is too great, so anything they do is to be expected."

Moss XIII didn't expect Aoi to give him an answer, and he let out a long sigh after hearing it.

"Yes, when there is a chance to sit in this position, who wouldn't use all the unimaginable means?"

"This time you led a team to visit Huidun. I want to hear your opinion on the territory governed by that boy."

At this time, Moss XIII started talking about Huidun.

At this time, Aoi said with a hint of shame:

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. When we arrived at the Source of Misfortune Ridge, the Black Dragon King had already destroyed his dragon nest and migrated away with his many beast kings.

Your Majesty's revenge plan has not been truly implemented."

Moss XIII waved his hand and said:

"Since the beast has left, let it go. This will also allow us to open up land transportation to the Moonlight Forest where the elves live."

"I just saw that you also went to Huidun's place, and I wanted to hear your opinion on that boy's governance of the territory."

Aoi pondered for a while, then looked at Moss XIII and said:

“I can only say that he is very capable and charismatic. He was able to unite all the forces in the city, relocate the people in the shortest possible time, and protect the most people.

As for the other governance matters, I didn’t enter the city, and the city was severely damaged by the beast tide, so I couldn’t see anything.”

Moss XIII nodded after hearing this.

"I'm just asking you out of curiosity today. After all, I've only seen the boy's territory in the written reports, and no one has personally described it to me. I'm just asking."

Then Moss XIII looked at the moon in the sky and said:

"It's getting late, I'm going back to the palace to rest."

Just as Moss XIII stood up and prepared to leave, Aoi thought about it and felt that he still had to tell Moss XIII some interesting stories.

Because judging from what he just asked Huidun, he is still sad about what happened to Prince Jinm and the others.

"Your Majesty, I just heard an interesting story in Prince Huidun's territory."

When Moss XIII heard the interesting story, he said "oh". Perhaps he was really as Kui Yi thought, and was really hurt by Jin Mu and the others, so he wanted to hear other things to divert his attention.

"What's the interesting thing? Tell me about it."

"That's right. Before I left, I heard the people who came out to rebuild Prince Huidun's territory talking about a slave. This slave was not only extremely smart, but also helped Prince Huidun come up with many ideas.

I also heard that he is a genius in magic, able to use magic beyond his level and still remain unharmed."

After hearing this, Moss XIII laughed and said:

"These people are quite talented at making up stories, but some of them are beyond common sense.

Throughout history, who has ever heard of a person using super-level magic alone and becoming immortal?

But it also shows that Huidun has done a good job in managing the local people's livelihood, and he is willing to compile such a story in his spare time."
