"The new emperor far surpasses the First Emperor!"

"The new emperor far surpasses the First Emperor!"

At first, it was just one or two people leading the way!

But as more people shouted, gradually, the voices became unified!

Then, it reached a moment of roaring like mountains and crashing like tides, deafening to the ears!

They shouted outside the walls of Xianyang City, yet even those inside Xianyang City could hear it.

At that moment, the common people inside Xianyang City happened to see the edict just issued by the imperial court!

Li Yuanba alone killed Xiang Yu's three hundred thousand strong army; the rebellion has been quelled. Under the universal celebration, all common people are exempt from taxes for one year, nobles must pay an additional ten percent, and all nobles must make up the ten percent tax!

This scene was witnessed by all the common people of Xianyang City; in that instant, everyone became excited!

And just at this moment, they heard this sky-piercing shout; instantly, everyone lost their composure!

At that moment, inside and outside Xianyang City, almost all the common people were shouting this one phrase:

"The new emperor far surpasses the First Emperor!"

"The new emperor far surpasses the First Emperor!"

"The new emperor far surpasses the First Emperor!"

At that moment, the shouting shook the heavens!

Even Ying Zheng, drinking tea in the suburbs, was startled by this huge sound!

In that instant, his gaze turned toward Zhao Gao: "What are those people outside shouting?"

Zhao Gao immediately closed the door, then knelt and said: "Nothing!"

"Nothing!"

Bang!

Ying Zheng smashed a teacup hard onto the ground!

And outside the walls of Xianyang City!

Facing Ying Su looked at the frenzied gazes of the two hundred thousand people before him!

And listened to the words they shouted!

At this moment, there was a slight tremor!

A tremor of excitement!

At this very moment, he felt that his efforts had not been in vain!

Yes!

His efforts to fight for the interests of the common people have paid off!

Just so many people shouting loudly together, "The new emperor far surpasses the First Emperor," just this one phrase, is enough!

Facing Ying Su was excited in his heart!

However, good things come in pairs!

Just at this moment, suddenly, a system voice appeared!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have once again consolidated the people's heart for Great Qin. Although Great Qin has no substantial increase in national strength, the nation's potential value is skyrocketing, and the host's imperial throne has become even more stable. Congratulations to the host for receiving a system reward of thirty thousand points!"

"How much?"

A voice prompt left Facing Ying Su stunned!

How many points did it take to recruit just one SSS-level divine general?

And now, he directly obtained thirty thousand points?

These points came too fast!

He was excited, even more agitated!

At this moment, he walked toward the crowd, waved to everyone, interrupted their shouting, pointed at a woman, and introduced her to everyone:

"From now on, this person is the commander of all of you!"

"Everyone must act according to her orders!"

"The Jiangshan of our Great Qin, and my, Facing Ying Su's, imperial throne, I entrust to all of you to protect!"

After he finished speaking, he bowed to everyone before him!

And seeing this scene, the crowd was utterly panicked; in an instant, everyone knelt and kowtowed to Facing Ying Su!

In the crowd, someone shouted loudly:

"From now on, the new emperor's safety is our responsibility!"

"If anyone dares to harm a single hair on the new emperor's head, I, this old man, will fight him to the death!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

At that moment, everyone shouted, and all responded loudly!

Someone shouted the slogan again: "Support the new emperor!"

"Support the new emperor!"

"Support the new emperor!"

At that moment, everyone shouted loudly!

Amidst this roaring like mountains and crashing like tides, Facing Ying Su left.

Even after returning to Outside Xianyanggong, he could not calm down!

The scene that happened today was truly shocking!

Even his heart could not help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

Just like Li Er, he actually began to vow in his heart, I will be a good Emperor!

I will be a good Emperor loved by everyone!

Alas!

It is no fault of Facing Ying Su being like this.

All Emperors of old who went down among the common people were like this!

Seeing the people support and love them, every Emperor's heart has had such a thought!

Even Zhao Gou, who was spat upon by ten thousand people, was like this.

Of course, the difference lies only in this: some people have it for just a moment; one second their heart is thinking of being a good Emperor for the country and the people, and the next second they are immersed in wine and beautiful women, unable to extricate themselves!

Thoughts of being a good Emperor are all thrown to the nine heavens and beyond.

This is human nature, just like when you do your homework; clearly warning yourself in your heart that you will play games only after finishing today's homework, yet the instant you see the phone, you cannot control yourself!

Then you tell yourself, just one game, after finishing this one, then write!

The result is, game after game, forced to play until past ten at night; seeing it is time to sleep, you rush to finish the homework in the last hour or two!

Precisely because of this, good Emperors throughout history appear so rare!

Besides ability, personal willpower is also a huge factor!

Because... games are too fun, and doing homework is too painful!

Applied to an Emperor, it is the same; how can the tedious affairs of the nation and state compare to the happiness of beautiful women in the harem?

Just as now, Facing Ying Su had just returned to Outside Xianyanggong not long ago, when the graceful Princess Princess Jieyou burrowed into his arms.

And poured a cup of fine wine, feeding it to Facing Ying Su with her mouth!

Facing Ying Su drank this mouthful of fine wine and could not help but sigh in his heart!

Damn it!

Wine and women ruin me!

From now on, I will quit drinking!

I must quit drinking!

He shouted in his heart, then cuddled up with Princess Princess Jieyou again!

As for state affairs...

The noble rebellion has not even been pacified yet.

Right now, no one has been submitting a memorial to the throne.

There are no state affairs to handle!

Let's play around!

Let's play around and talk later!
