Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 572: Furious

Traveling through time and space: The legendary road of the emperor Chu Tian felt dizzy and his head was hit hard by a heavy hammer, which made him hiss in pain. When he finally recovered, he found himself in a magnificent palace. Everything around him was simple and luxurious, with carved beams and painted buildings, silk and satin, and a group of people in ancient costumes kneeling respectfully on the ground. "Where is this? Why am I here?" Chu Tian's mind was in a mess, and he tried hard to recall what happened before. He only remembered that he was hunting in the mountains and forests, and suddenly encountered a rare storm. A strange lightning struck him, and then he lost consciousness. I didn't expect to wake up again and find myself in such a strange scene. Before he could figure out the situation, an old minister spoke cautiously: "Your Majesty, you are finally awake, is your dragon body uncomfortable?" Chu Tian was shocked to realize that he had traveled through time and space and became an ancient emperor! This cognition shocked him and made him a little overwhelmed, but soon, his inner excitement and fighting spirit were ignited. Since fate has brought him here, he must do something big. Chu Tian has loved history since he was a child. He has studied the ways of governing the country and the tactics of power of ancient emperors. Now that he is in the position of emperor, he is determined to apply what he has learned to governing the country. At the beginning of his accession to the throne, he keenly noticed that corruption was prevalent in the court. Officials formed cliques for personal gain and plundered the people's wealth, making the people miserable. Chu Tian knew that if the administration of officials was not rectified, the country would inevitably fall into crisis. So he quietly launched an investigation, using his modern thinking and wisdom to cleverly arrange spies and collect evidence. Soon, he had evidence of a number of corrupt officials. At an early morning court session, Chu Tian suddenly launched an attack and exposed the crimes of those corrupt officials one by one, causing an uproar in the court. "My dear ministers, do you know how the people have lived over the years? As court officials, you should have worked for the welfare of the people, but you have been corrupt and perverted the law, which is really unforgivable!" Chu Tian looked at everyone with a stern look. The corrupt officials were frightened and knelt down to beg for mercy, but Chu Tian was unmoved. He ordered all the corrupt officials to be dismissed and investigated, and all their property was confiscated, and part of the property was used to help the people. This move was very pleasing to the people. The people praised the newly enthroned emperor, and other officials in the court also restrained themselves a lot, and the official atmosphere was greatly improved. However, just as the court was gradually stabilizing, news of the Xiongnu invasion came from the northern border. The Xiongnu cavalry burned, killed and looted on the border, the people were displaced, and the border guards were defeated. When Chu Tian learned about this, he was furious. He decided to lead the army in person to fight against the Xiongnu. "As the ruler of a country, how can I sit back and watch the people suffer? This time, I will let the Xiongnu know that our dynasty cannot be bullied!" Chu Tian said with great passion. So, Chu Tian personally selected a group of elite troops, trained day and night, and formulated a battle plan. On the day of the expedition, he wore gorgeous armor, rode a tall horse, and stood majestically at the forefront of the army. Seeing the emperor so brave, the soldiers were greatly encouraged and shouted slogans that shook the sky. After arriving at the border, Chu Tian did not rush to attack, but first carefully observed the Xiongnu's troop deployment and terrain. He found that the Xiongnu cavalry was highly mobile, but lacked an effective defensive formation. So he formulated a set of tactics to lure the enemy deep into the country. He first sent a small group of troops to pretend to retreat, leading the Xiongnu cavalry to pursue, and then set up an ambush in the valley to annihilate them in one fell swoop. After the battle started, everything went according to Chu Tian's plan. The Xiongnu cavalry was indeed tricked and led into the valley. At Chu Tian's command, ambushes rose up and thousands of arrows were fired, and the Xiongnu cavalry fell into chaos. Chu Tian personally waved his sword and charged forward to inspire the morale of the soldiers. Under his leadership, the soldiers fought bravely and, after a fierce battle, finally defeated the Xiongnu and made them flee in embarrassment. The victory of this battle brought Chu Tian's prestige in the country to its peak. The people were grateful to him and the soldiers were loyal to him. After Chu Tian returned to the capital, he was welcomed by the people, and the whole capital was immersed in a joyful atmosphere. After dealing with the government and the war, Chu Tian's harem life was also rich and colorful. There were many beautiful concubines in his harem, each with their own characteristics, some gentle and graceful, some lively and cheerful, and some outstanding talents. Among them, the most favored by Chu Tian was a concubine named Wan'er. Wan'er was not only beautiful, but also knowledgeable and sensible. She and Chu Tian had similar interests, and they often talked about poetry and songs and discussed the way to govern the country. In addition to his busy political affairs, Chu Tian's favorite thing was to spend time with Wan'er. In her company, Chu Tian felt unprecedented warmth and relaxation. However, the harem was not always calm. As Wan'er became favored, other concubines inevitably felt jealous and dissatisfied. Some concubines began to speak ill of Wan'er behind her back and even tried to frame her. Although Chu Tian loved Wan'er, he was also well aware of the complexity of the harem struggle. He did not easily believe those rumors, but secretly investigated the truth. Once, a concubine deliberately placed some prohibited items in Wan'er's palace, and then reported to Chu Tian that Wan'er intended to rebel. When Chu Tian learned about this, he did not get angry immediately, but sent someone to investigate carefully. After an in-depth investigation, the truth finally came to light. It turned out that the concubine was jealous of Wan'er's favor and deliberately set a trap. Chu Tian was extremely disgusted with this kind of harem fighting. He severely punished the concubine who framed Wan'er, and also warned other concubines that if they dared to stir up trouble again, they would not be forgiven easily. From then on, the fighting in the harem subsided temporarily, and everyone got along carefully and dared not make mistakes easily. As time went on, Chu Tian's rule on the throne became more and more stable. He continued to implement a series of reform measures to develop agricultural production, strengthen commercial trade, and promote cultural exchanges. Under his governance, the country became increasingly prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace, and the border remained peaceful and stable. Chu Tian's story was widely circulated among the people and became a legend. He used his wisdom, courage and benevolence to win the love and respect of the people, and also let the country glow with new vitality under his rule. And he will continue to write his own glorious chapter on this imperial throne and create a better future for the country and the people.
