Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 1222 - 485: Brutally Slaughtered

How could the decisiveness of this monarch’s rulership possibly be grasped by them?

"To be king is not easy, and the hardships thereof you have all experienced."

Zhang Beixing paced with hands behind his back, a gentle smile on his face.

"But I assign you these heavy responsibilities not to crush you."

"Rather, it is to temper you, so that you may become ministers capable of bearing great responsibilities!"

This statement left the two people feeling deeply inspired, their fighting spirits instantly ignited.

"I accept the command and shall exert my utmost to fulfill the mission!"

"I, too, shall act with thunderous determination to assist my lord in building a peaceful nation!"

Zhang Beixing nodded with satisfaction, glancing slightly to the side.

He saw behind him the Persuasion System watching the scene, wearing a faint smile.

"Senior’s wisdom is indeed beyond measure, do you have additional insights?"

Zhang Beixing inquired respectfully, his demeanor reverent and sincere.

The Persuasion System spoke slowly, shaking its head with a smile:

"My disciple possesses remarkable intelligence, truly worthy of being called my excellent pupil."

"The world is vast, and you have seen it; refining yourself is not without abundant merit."

This praise caused Zhang Beixing to be momentarily stunned.

He had never expected to hear such commendation from his senior.

His heart was filled with mixed emotions, a hundred thoughts crossing his mind.

"Though I am slow-witted, I humbly ask for your guidance if I have erred!"

Zhang Beixing humbly bowed his head, yet his resolve was unyieldingly firm.

He was determined to preside over the world and become a wise and virtuous ruler!

He then rose, surveying the civil and military officials in the hall, assuming the posture of a monarch:

"Having now assumed this position, I have matters of state to attend to."

"You court officials, all trusted and capable, must once again strive diligently!"

"However, since I have received the mandate of Heaven, I must appoint the competent based solely on merit!"

These words were delivered with immense strength, resonating to the heavens.

All who heard were filled with solemn respect, sincerely convinced.

Only the former emperor wore a face full of anger, secretly grinding his teeth in fury.

Once, he was the lord of this palace, his word law.

But now, he was being taken over by this greenhorn of a boy!

It’s such a damn disgrace of epic proportions!

However, Zhang Beixing evidently saw through the former emperor’s unwillingness and resentment.

He let out a cold snort, his eyes flashing brilliantly:

"In deposing the Son of Heaven, I must weigh matters cautiously."

"Though the former emperor has transgressed, his errors are not beyond pardon."

"Return to him the life of leisure, to nurture his longevity for many years!"

Upon hearing this, the former emperor was overjoyed beyond measure.

Involuntarily, he knelt and kowtowed, tears of gratitude streaming down:

"Your Majesty’s benevolence is unparalleled, I... I am endlessly grateful!"

Zhang Beixing gave a faint smile, seemingly unperturbed by this feigned flattery.

"Court is dismissed, I have matters to attend to."

As he finished speaking, the former emperor was nearly beside himself with excitement.

Dragging his legs, he embarrassingly exited through the palace gates.

This emperor, once unrivaled beneath the heavens, eventually ended with his dignity intact.

Watching the former emperor’s departing figure, Kyiv suddenly felt something within.

For some reason, he felt a vague sense of foreboding about the fate of this former emperor.

As if the former emperor, disregarding everything, stood little chance of avoiding a bleak end.

"Your Majesty, how exactly should the former emperor be dealt with?"

Richard saw Zhang Beixing’s somber expression and cautiously asked.

Zhang Beixing slowly turned around, his eyes shooting sharp, divine rays:

"The decree has been issued, I shall not retract my decision."

"But if he dares to act presumptuously in the future, see if I don’t eradicate him at the root!"

Hearing this, everyone was struck with a wave of solemnity.

Indeed, the newly ascending monarch was imposing and formidable.

The Persuasion System, witnessing this, couldn’t help but give a couple of light coughs:

"Having settled the affairs of court, it’s essential to firmly establish the foundations of the nation."

"Zhang’er, when I return to you a broad vista, even with the weight of responsibility, it will be worth it!"

Zhang Beixing, upon hearing these words, bowed and clasped his hands in salute:

"Disciple awaits the elder’s guidance!"

The Persuasion System raised its head in a long cry, suppressing the roaring of the entire hall:

"A nation is founded upon its people, and the people are paramount!"

"At the start of my reign, I must begin from the hearts of the people."

"In dealing with the barbarians on all sides, I must first stabilize the people’s sentiments."

"The borders are not yet fully connected, they too must be reorganized! For a strong nation is based on the people."

The Persuasion System spoke slowly, its words ringing with authority.

"Frontier passes, must not be neglected."

"Yet, my focus is on greater, broader plans, to reform outdated customs, establish and nurture the people!"

These words left the entire assembly of civil and military officials utterly astonished.

To reform old customs, to develop national education?

Such an unprecedented bold move, would it not shake the very foundations?

Even Richard and Alina exchanged bewildered glances in surprise.

Zhang Beixing, however, appeared composed, undisturbed by the reactions of those present.

On the contrary, he slowly scanned the room, his voice echoing in the great hall:

"Dear ministers, do not doubt, for I have an even more grand vision!"

"Since ancient times, the prosperity of a nation has relied solely on the diligent efforts of its subjects as its foundation."

"Thus, with the Capital City immersed in indulgent pleasures, how can it possibly achieve loyalty to the state?"

With these words, countless civil and military officials were deeply shaken.

They all realized that this new emperor was not one to conform to common customs.

Truly, he had ascended to the throne with a commanding view of all under heaven!

"Master... do you mean to promote education and uplift the impoverished commoners?"

A cautious minister finally summoned the courage to inquire.

"Indeed!" Zhang Beixing’s tone shifted, his eyes unwavering.

"Upon assuming the throne, I shall eliminate longstanding abuses, and renew customs!"

"Only then can we revitalize the nation, bringing prosperity and enduring peace!"

At this point, Zhang Beixing cast his gaze across all directions, his tone growing increasingly resolute:

"Dear ministers, remember, this is a matter of national importance."

"Should there be any oversight, I shall bear the responsibility without excuse!"

"As you command, we shall follow the lord’s illustrious mandate!"

Upon hearing this, all present felt their blood boiling with fervor.

Once upon a time, were they not those who only knew greed and indulgence?

Now, however, they were stirred by the daring spirit of the new emperor, their fighting spirit renewed.
