A lot has happened in the past three years.

First of all, the Emperor Taishang announced that Prince Zhou Li needed long-term treatment in the Rosemary Valley, and Ao Guogong and Prince Zhou Li were like brothers, so they also stayed in the Rosemary Valley to accompany them.

As soon as this news came out, there were more and more people in the Great Zhou court who asked the emperor to be reinstated, more and more.

In the end, the civil and military chiefs of the Manchu Dynasty could not afford to kneel, and thousands of people entered Beijing and knelt outside the palace.

There shall not be a day in heaven without the sun, and not a day without an owner.

The Emperor Taishang repeatedly said that he would never be reinstated, and he must wait until the crown prince Zhou Li woke up and let him succeed to the throne.

In the end, thousands of people and hundreds of old ministers went on a hunger strike outside the palace.

Even at this time, the Emperor Taishang did not give in.

The people and the old ministers went on a hunger strike, and he also followed the hunger strike, but he was unwilling to be reinstated as the emperor.

This hunger strike lasted for nine days.

Dozens of people starved to death, and the Emperor Taishang was dying of hunger, but he still did not return to the throne.

Until a piece of news came.

Fu Yantu in the south, the natives in the south, and the three forces of the Shi family united to rebel and establish the Great Southern Empire.

In an instant, the entire Great Zhou Empire collapsed.

The five provinces in the south, plus the territory of the Shi family, a total of six provinces, 1.6 million square kilometers of land split from the Great Zhou Empire.

Combined, the total strength of the three forces exceeds 500,000, which is claimed to be one million.

Millions of rebels marched north to conquer the city. The Great Zhou Empire had reached its most dangerous moment.

Everyone felt that the Great Zhou Empire was in danger and falling apart, just around the corner.

Moreover, the Great Winning Empire in the north also seems to be about to move, and the entire Great Zhou Empire seems to be in danger of extinction.

In just over a month, the rebels in the south swept north, and all more than a dozen counties in the Great Zhou Dynasty fell.

And it was in this difficult autumn that the Emperor Taishang was forced to choose to restore the throne as the emperor, and the year name Tianzuo.

At this time, nine months have passed since the death of Emperor Wanyun.

The Great Zhou Empire was without an emperor for nine months.

Although the year name is Tianzuo, after all, Emperor Taishang has been an emperor for fifty years before, and everyone calls him Emperor Tianyan, so he is still used to calling it Tianyan.

On the day when Emperor Tianyan was restored to the throne, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty wept bitterly and were excited.

We finally have an emperor in the Great Zhou? It's been almost a year.

The Emperor Taishang finally agreed to restore the throne and ascend the throne, our Great Zhou finally has the backbone, and all the people also have spiritual pillars, which is really much expected.

After being restored to the throne, Emperor Tianyan led an army of 100,000 to march south to quell the rebellion.

On that day, millions of people in the capital sent each other off.

Emperor Tianyan went south to quell the rebellion at the age of eighty, how sad is it?

This battle!

An unprecedented miracle has been created.

At the age of eighty, Emperor Tianyan personally entered the battle array and charged forward.

In just a few months, all the rebellions in the south were quelled.

Fu Yantu knelt down, the southern rebels knelt down, and the Shi family knelt down.

And from now on, the territory of the Shi family is no longer a vassal, and it permanently belongs to a province of the imperial court.

The southern border is truly long-term peace and stability.

When the good news spread all over the world, hundreds of millions of people were shocked and ecstatic.

Emperor Tianyan led an army of 100,000 and an expedition of thousands of miles, and won a complete victory.

At the time of triumph, the whole country rejoiced.

At this time, Emperor Tianyan's prestige reached its peak.

Taking advantage of this great victory, Emperor Tianyan made several amazing big moves one after another.

The great reconstruction of Langzhou is vigorous.

The great trade at sea is vigorous.

The expansion of the Great Zhou Water Division was also vigorous.

However, this is not the most amazing, what shocked the entire empire even more was the Tianzuo New Deal.

Emperor Tianyan carried out a major blood change in the army with the momentum of thunder.

A large number of nobles and high-ranking generals who were vegetarian were replaced one after another, and a large number of martial arts warriors and martial artists with superb military skills and civilian backgrounds entered the army, and a large number of elite generals who had made meritorious contributions were promoted to the top of the army.

Moreover, from the court to the localities, a vigorous anti-corruption war was launched.

During the suppression of the rebellion in the south, all the fields that had been annexed by Xungui in large quantities were reshuffled in the name of counterinsurgency and classified as military fields.

After the complete surrender of the Shi family, the entire maritime trade fell into the hands of the imperial court, and production and construction resumed in the southern border.

In just three years, the deficit in the treasury ceased to exist.

The wind and rain in the Great Zhou are smooth, and the grains are abundant.

Sweeping away the shortcomings of Emperor Wanyun, the entire Great Zhou Empire once again became strong and wealthy. The treasury of silver is piled up.

The reconstruction of Langzhou has also been completed, and a brand new city, standing by the sea, is more prosperous than before.

Before Tianyan Zhongxing, Tianzuo Zhongxing was staged again.

All the people in the world call Emperor Tianzuo the first emperor of the ages.

Not only that, in the eyes of the world's officials and all the people, Emperor Tianzuo is a thunderbolt and a bodhisattva.

When Emperor Wanyun was in power, he didn't know how many people he killed and how many people he punished.

But after Emperor Tianyan was restored to the throne, he rarely killed people.

Shi Bian rebelled, and the Shi family rebelled, but they were not killed, but they were demoted to the title and raised in Beijing.

Fu Yantu rebelled, but he was also not killed, but he was demoted to his official position and placed under house arrest in Beijing.

The natives in the south rebelled, but they still did not kill them all, but after quelling the rebellion, they divided the land and gave the Chinese surname.

Even every year, if a prisoner on death row can not be killed, try not to kill, and every list of executions must be considered and weighed again.

Therefore, in the eyes of the people of the world, the benevolence of Emperor Tianzuo (Tianyan) is simply rare through the ages.

As for the officials who had been loyal to Emperor Wanyun before, they were not liquidated, let alone killed, and most of them were not even dismissed, and they were still in power.

The anxious Prime Minister Lin Gong, the second minister of the cabinet, is still in charge.

Nangong Cuo still served as the governor of Heibingtai, and Yan Qiqi became the deputy governor.

And Ao Ming, who had made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion in the south, was canonized as the Taishou of Jiangzhou.

In just three years, the entire Great Zhou Empire was like Emperor Tianyan himself, from dying of old age to rejuvenating and strong, full of vitality and unprecedented strength.

....................................

What about the facts? Is Emperor Tianyan really so powerful?

Yes and no.

Did he really lead an army of 100,000 at that time and put down a rebellion of 500,000 troops in the south?

No, not 100,000, but 70,000, not even 70,000.

He did one thing, one thing that was almost exactly the same as Emperor Wan Yun.

Led a strong samurai into the Great Zhou army.

In the year after the death of Emperor Wanyun, he opened Enke and admitted a large number of Wuju people, Wujinshi.

And with this group of Wuju people and Wujinshi as the backbone, a new army was established.

This new army has unparalleled combat effectiveness. And this new army is from Baiyun City.

Next year!

The Queen Mother, no, to be precise, has become the queen again, that is, the mother of Emperor Wanyun, collapsed.

Emperor Tianyan married a new empress, and a year later, he gave birth to a prince, and the whole country celebrated.

And this new queen, who is a commoner, is a scholarly family, representing the determination of the emperor.

It is necessary to give happiness to countless civilians in Dazhou, to fill them with a channel to rise, and to make Dazhou glow with new vitality.

So who is this new queen?

Princess of White Cloud City, Bai Xue.

What Emperor Wanyun wanted to do, but didn't do, Emperor Tianyan did.

With the formal marriage between the Great Zhou Empire and Baiyun City, Baiyun City's advanced weapons, advanced forging technology, and a large number of Baiyun City warriors continued to enter the Great Zhou Empire, making the combat effectiveness of the Great Zhou army unprecedentedly improved.

..............................

Tianzuo three years, inside the palace.

Emperor and Empress Tianzuo, standing side by side under the eaves.

Although the former Emperor Taishang was eighty-two years old, he looked like he was fifty-two years old at most, even younger than three years ago.

The hair that used to be white has turned black now, and the eyes are even more radiant.

The queen is absolutely beautiful, and the two are extremely affectionate, looking at a child in the courtyard.

This child is the new prince Zhou Lin, who is only two years old now, and the wooden knife is wielded vigorously, nearly a head taller than ordinary children.

Emperor Tianzuo said: "Empress, your family's bloodline is really amazing. ”

Your family?!

Is the bloodline of the descendants of the Nu Emperor really strong.

The queen said softly: "Your Majesty, this is also because your bloodline is strong, which is why Lin'er is so good. ”

Emperor Tianzuo said: "Speaking of which, I also have to be grateful to your family, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to rejuvenate and prolong my life." ”

The queen said: "It is a real honor to be loyal to Your Majesty. ”

........................

The autumn of the third year of Tianzuo.

The Great Zhou Empire and the Great Win Empire had a violent border conflict that intensified and eventually turned into a large-scale battle.

Then, the two empires began to increase their troops.

The situation escalated step by step, and then rose to the real mobilization of the two empires.

The Great Win Empire has added 700,000 troops to the Borderlands.

The Great Zhou Empire deployed 600,000 troops on the Jinzhou defensive line.

The two empires even began to deploy a second line of defense, a third line of defense.

Immediately afterward, the two empires entered a state of war. All commercial trade, all food production, all in preparation for the next Armageddon.

The two empires, from the people to the court, from the south to the north, both began to publicize the war.

The war machines of the two empires are in motion.

From the palace examination, to the general examination, the township examination, and the hospital examination, all the examination questions are related to the war.

The two empires, from scholars to commoners, were ready for war under the powerful storm of public opinion.

The public opinion of this battle lasted for more than half a year.

It's like two giants, constantly accumulating, accumulating,

Countless troops, countless supplies, are still being transported to the border.

Every province, every county, is constantly recruiting troops, raising food, grass, supplies, and supplying the battlefield.

May of the fourth year of Tianzuo!

The great war between the two empires finally broke out.

This time, it's a battle for the nation.

At this time, it has been a full eight years since the last big war.

Eight years ago, in the great battle of Zhou Li as the commander, the Great Zhou Empire was defeated.

And this time, the scale of the war is far greater than that of eight years ago, and the two sides have really invested millions of troops, and the battle line stretches for thousands of miles.

Not only that, but the reserve legions of the two empires are still far away.

This war will decide the fate of the two empires.

It is definitely not as simple as fighting for one or two provinces, a dozen counties, there must be an empire that completely falls.

The winner of this all-in-one war will become the sole hegemon in the southern part of the Eastern Continent.

In fact, people all over the world are puzzled.

Why didn't the Great Win Empire start a war when there was a great rebellion in the south? Why didn't the Great Win Empire start a war when the Great Zhou was weak?

Is it just because of the containment and threat of the Great Western Empire and the Great Xia Empire?

Or is it because the Great Win Empire is not ready? Because in the last Borderlands War, although the Great Zhou Empire won, it lost 400,000 troops.

Or is there a deeper reason?

..............................

The battle between the two empires is in full swing.

There are astronomical casualties every day, and a staggering amount of supplies is consumed every day, and the battle is scorching.

In the palace, Emperor Tianzuo (Tianyan) didn't seem to be affected in any way, still holding the three-year-old prince and writing, licking the calf, beyond words.

Although the prince Zhou Lin is only three years old, he has already shown amazing talent, not only wisdom, but also physique, martial arts, and even appearance.

So in the hearts of the Manchu Dynasty, this little prince is already the emperor of the future Great Zhou Empire.

As for the crown prince Zhou Li, he is still in the Rosemary Valley, he has been in a coma for four or five years, and he has long been forgotten.

Although the prince Zhou Lin is only three years old, his words are already presentable, and his sharpness is exposed.

It's really not like a three-year-old, it's outstanding.

Emperor Tianzuo couldn't help but look at Zhou Lin's pupils closely, they were indeed different from ordinary people, full of a strange light, and even the shape was slightly different, was this the special bloodline of Emperor Fu?

Then Emperor Tianzuo couldn't help but open his eyes and look at himself in the mirror.

"Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and drink into three people. Emperor Tianzuo looked at the words on the paper and said.

The prince Zhou Lin also followed along.

Emperor Tianzuo said: "These two poems are written very well, and the person who wrote the poems can be called the first genius in the world." ”

The prince Zhou Lin said: "Father, who is this person?"

Emperor Tianzuo said: "The crane in the clouds can also be called the first undercover agent in the world." ”

The prince Zhou Lin said: "Is it a bad person, is it an enemy?"

Emperor Tianzuo said: "Yes, it's a bad guy, an enemy!"

Zhou Lin said: "Then kill him." ”

..............................

Yan Yan, the deputy governor of the Black Ice Terrace, knelt on the ground.

"What's the battle ahead?" asked Emperor Tianzuo.

Yan stumbled and said: "Back to Your Majesty, we are still scorched, but our ace army has not yet been dispatched." ”

The ace army of the Great Zhou Empire is all equipped with the weapons of Baiyun City, and half of them are the secret warrior regiments of Baiyun City.

"Your Majesty, do you want to let Jing Wushuang's army attack from the west?" Yan asked.

Emperor Tianzuo said: "Don't worry, don't worry, that moment has not yet come, and when that moment comes, I will drive the expedition in person." ”

........................

A secret area of the Great Zhou Empire.

Bai Feifei, the princess of Baiyun City, Emperor Tianzuo, is testing the secret weapon.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, do you remember the moonfire?" Bai Feifei asked, "When you were still the emperor, this moonfire had already come out, and it was a gift from the crane in the clouds to the moon in the well. ”

Emperor Tianzuo said: "Of course I remember, the city was blown up by the moonfire. However, I heard that there is a kind of raw material that is particularly difficult to make in large quantities. ”

Bai Feifei said: "This raw material is nitrate, which can only be scraped from the latrine and the corner of the wall before. But we have already found an island overseas, and the nitrate ore on it is inexhaustible, so please wait and see what happens to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Ready!"

With the order of the princess of Baiyun City, dozens of trebuchets were all prepared, and on the throwing plate, all of them were gunpowder packs.

"Put!"

Dozens of trebuchets were all launched, and dozens of gunpowder bags of hundreds of pounds flew out hundreds of meters away and fell into an abandoned castle.

"Boom, boom, boom......" Amazing explosion, this abandoned castle was blown to pieces.

It's incredibly powerful.

Bai Feifei said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, for this war, we can prepare hundreds of thousands of catties, millions of catties of moonfire for you. But there's more to it than that, there's more to it than that. ”

"Ready!"

Dozens of samurai, wrapped in white cloth and covered with their mouths and noses, rolled out another trebuchet.

Then, several samurai carefully lifted out a chest, and a sphere burst out of it.

"Put!"

The trebuchet slammed the orb out.

Emperor Tianzuo saw it, and the target was a group of people, dozens or hundreds of people, all trembling civilians.

The orb arced through the air for several hundred meters and fell into the crowd.

"Bang!" After the explosion, there was no amazing explosion, just yellow smoke coming out.

"Ah...... Yes...... Yes...... Ah......h

Then, the crowd over there let out an extremely terrible scream, as if they had been horribly tortured.

And the person who projected this sphere was even more far away, and did not dare to approach it at all.

After a long while, the yellow smoke dissipated, and Emperor Tianzuo could see clearly that the dozens of ordinary people were already lying on the ground, completely dead, in a very miserable state, foaming at the mouth, and ulcerating all over.

This is a gas bomb fired by a trebuchet?

The lethality is much more amazing than a gunpowder pack, it's a hell weapon.

Emperor Tianzuo said: "How many weapons are there?"

"Not many, just a few hundred. Princess Bai Feifei said: "But at the critical moment, the most elite troops of the Great Win Empire can be slaughtered. It would be even better if the emperor won the expedition himself. ”

Emperor Tianzuo's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he wanted to see clearly the tragic situation of the ordinary people who died under the poisonous gas.

Princess Bai Feifei said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, you can go on a personal expedition at any time, with the support of our Baiyun City, you will definitely win this battle of the country." ”

..............................

Inside the palace!

Emperor Tianzuo is practicing martial arts, and his martial arts are amazingly high, don't be Ao Xin at this time, even Yuan Tianxie is no longer the opponent of His Majesty the Emperor.

"Bang ......"

The emperor's long-handled war knife was cut down, and the boulders exploded directly.

Suddenly, he stumbled on his feet, and the familiar feeling returned.

Cold, paralyzing. At the same time, there was a burning flame in his chest, a burning feeling of emptiness that occurred every other year, even when he was paralyzed before.

It seems to be a side effect of taking the Rejuvenating Pill.

He put away his long knife and walked slowly inside, picking up the mirror once more and looking at his pupils.

"Someone!"

With Emperor Tianzuo's order, a ghostly figure floated in.

"Go get it. ”

"Yes!"

The ghostly figure flew out and headed for a corner of the palace.

It is full of flowers and plants, all kinds of herbs, and the fragrance is overwhelming.

This can't help but remind people of the Shangqing Palace, there is also an area dedicated to planting herbs and flowers, and Princess Xiangxiang lives in it.

At this time, in the corner of the palace full of flowers and plants, Princess Xiangxiang still lives in it.

A puff of smoke drifted by.

Princess Xiangxiang inside immediately fell asleep and was completely unconscious.

Then a ghostly figure floated in, and she took out a needle, pierced it into Princess Xiangxiang's vein, and began to draw blood.

I pumped about 100 milliliters.

Princess Xiangxiang was almost visible to the naked eye, and her face turned pale.

Then, the ghostly figure floated away, unaware of it.

She took the blood to the palace of Emperor Tianzuo, and then put the blood in a jade bowl and offered it to the emperor.

The emperor picked up the bowl of blood and drank it in one gulp.

Suddenly, the flame near the heart was extinguished in an instant, and it regained its coolness, and its heartbeat returned to normal.

He couldn't help but let out a long breath.

This is the real reason why the Emperor once favored Princess Xiangxiang, because her blood is very special and needs to be drunk once a year.

It's just that it wasn't taken with a needle at the beginning, and it wasn't so advanced.

But every time the blood was taken, Princess Xiangxiang was in a coma, she didn't know what was going on, but she was extremely smart, and she knew that the Queen Mother's love for him was not real.

She also vaguely knew that the emperor's love for her was not real.

After Emperor Tianzuo drank the blood, his lips were particularly bright red, and he looked particularly terrifying.

"Fortunately, if you drink it only once a year, you can suppress it, otherwise she wouldn't be able to supply it. Emperor Tianzuo said, "By the way, do you regret leaving Rosemary Valley?"

The ghostly figure said, "No regrets, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Tianzuo said: "That divine pill in Rosemary Valley, have you studied it?"

The ghostly figure said, "It's coming, Your Majesty the Emperor." They failed for decades until the crane in the clouds went. So the key ingredient is the blood of the crane in the clouds. The people of Rosemary Valley are also hypocritical, claiming that the blood of the crane in the clouds can solve any mystery, which is simply ridiculous, and it is just used for medicine. ”

Emperor Tianzuo said: "Why can the descendants of Emperor Nu stay young and be determined by martial arts?

The ghost figure said: "Your Majesty, even if you are a descendant of the Nu Emperor, you must take the medicine of the Nu Emperor every ten years, otherwise you will die tragically." After all, you only have a quarter of the bloodline of the descendants of the Nu Emperor, so you can't be exactly like them. But don't worry, it won't take me a few years to crack the mystery inside, and then you will be able to completely get rid of the containment of White Cloud City. ”

Emperor Tianzuo said: "I will soon drive the imperial expedition and destroy the main army of the Great Win Empire, and I must maintain the most powerful state." ”

The ghost figure said: "If you can't get the elixir of Rosemary Valley, it can only be the same as before, and you can only use the blood of the crane in the cloud instead." ”

..............................

In the familiar underground cell, the door opened, and Yan walked in.

The crane in the cloud was lying motionless on a jade bed, breathing and heartbeat, but he was unconscious.

Yan Qiqi took out a needle, pierced it into the blood vessels of the crane in the clouds, and drew out a tube of blood.

Then, he looked silently at the crane in the clouds.

What a great sorrow it is that the most brilliant man, the most powerful undercover agent, is now lying motionless in a coma for more than four years.

The only reason he was able to live was because his blood worked wonders.

At that time, Rosemary Valley had obtained the blood of the crane in the clouds, so their research made a breakthrough.

The former Emperor Taishang, and now the Tianzuo Emperor, need the blood of the crane in the clouds, also once a year.

....................................

Inside the palace!

The traitor from Rosemary Valley got the blood of the crane in the clouds and fed a baby mouse for experiments.

A full hour later, the little mouse was still alive and kicking.

At this time, Emperor Wanyun was sitting on a chair, and the paralysis of his legs was already very obvious.

Once, his neck was completely paralyzed, but after taking the pill of Rosemary, it began to have miraculous effects, the paralysis and paralysis were eliminated, the whole body was restored, and he began to truly rejuvenate and prolong his life, becoming strong and healthy.

But this elixir seems to be time-sensitive, and after about thirteen months, that paralyzing feeling will hit again little by little.

But it's also very simple to crack it, just drink the blood of the crane in the clouds, as if his blood is some kind of antidote.

Emperor Tianzuo picked up the bowl of blood of the crane in the clouds and drank it all.

Sure enough, it had a miraculous effect, and almost in an instant, the whole body was warm and hot, and the cold and paralyzing feeling in the legs disappeared without a trace.

His Majesty the Emperor has regained his strong force, and it can last for thirteen months.

..........................................

The crane in the clouds in the depths of the dungeon was still unconscious and motionless.

It's been more than four years!

He's always been like that, completely motionless, just alive, breathing and heartbeating.

And this symptom looks exactly the same as Zhou Li?

When will he wake up?

I don't know!

There is only one circumstance in which he can wake up, and that is when Emperor Tianzuo awakens him.

Otherwise, he would be like Zhou Li, and he might never wake up.

So when he is unconscious, can he kill someone?

What is the most terrible weapon in this world?

It is to use one's own body, one's own life as a weapon, a lethal weapon.

Emperor Tianzuo stood in front of the mirror, looking at his strong and sturdy body, and was amazed.

His face is fifty years old, but his body seems to be at the peak of his thirties and forties.

This is the power of rejuvenation and longevity, and this is also the credit of the blood of the crane in the clouds.

His sturdy young body, Queen Bai Xue is also infatuated.

But...... No one can see it, at this time, Emperor Tianzuo's body, blood vessels, and heart are densely packed with many insects.

The terrible parasite, and it was crawling along the veins, towards his brain.

This is the crane in the clouds!

Vicious and resolute, in order to kill people, unscrupulous means, even if they put parasite eggs in their own blood.

For more than four years.

The parasites in Emperor Tianzuo's body have all hatched, and they have all grown up.

Then, there may only be one last step left to kill this demon.

....................................

Note: Finally finished writing, the idea was all night, and I wrote for hours, and I was really tired and collapsed, and it was too difficult to write.

Ladies and gentlemen, remember to give me the monthly pass, the pastry completely relies on this to support the will, thank you.
