There is no way to bow down, and all parties are guilty, and the sin is in me.

This sentence comes from the "Analects of Yao", and it also became the beginning of Emperor Wanyun's guilty edict.

He was the first to blame himself for all the mistakes, because he was the emperor, so the mistakes of the whole empire were his personal mistakes.

This edict was written by Emperor Wanyun himself, and even when it was read out in the court, it shocked the ministers.

Because it is extremely well written, if it is placed in the imperial examination, such articles can be ranked in the top few.

It can be seen that Emperor Wanyun's knowledge is very, very high, and he reads books very well.

In the edict of guilt, he listed several major sins for himself.

But when the ministers heard this, their scalps were numb, because these things were their sins after all.

Everyone says that I, the emperor, are anxious for quick success, but I don't look at it, the Great Zhou Empire, which has not fought for more than ten years, has not practiced diligently, and its armament is lax.

Only by flowing water can it not be corrupted, and then look at the middle and high-level of the army, which is controlled by a large number of incompetent nobles, brave and resourceful generals cannot be promoted, and they have the ambition to serve the country, but they can only be happy.

In the edict of the guilty self, he also said that he was not strict in his education, and instructed the empire to become a common practice, and people were superficial.

He said that his majesty was insufficient, and he instructed the party struggle within the DPRK to become more and more intense.

sprinkled thousands of words, made the ills of the entire Great Zhou Empire clear, and then attributed it all to the sins of him, the emperor.

It can be seen from this edict that Emperor Wanyun's eyes are still very sharp, and he can see everything clearly.

After all, the Great Zhou Empire is an old empire, and although it has experienced the prosperity of Tianyan, many ills have accumulated and it is difficult to return.

The nobles controlled the middle and high ranks of the army, and the civilian elite could not come out.

Literati groups like the Yuedan Review Organization control public opinion, the party fights against differences, and colludes with the civilian clique to monopolize the right to speak.

It is said that running water is not rotten, but the entire imperial officialdom is already like rotten and old soup. It's not like the big win empire has just risen, it's like the rising sun.

Before the Great Zhou Zhongxing, to put it bluntly, because of the annexation of the Southern Barbarian Realm, he got the huge dividends brought by this 1.35 million square kilometers of land.

However, the fundamental drawbacks of the Great Zhou court have not changed, and the entire Southern Zhou Empire is like a running giant, which must always run and cannot stop.

As soon as it stops, the giant's body will start to get sick, and the inward party struggle will begin, and the infighting will begin.

Moreover, the Great Zhou Empire has given birth to a huge interest group, and their needs are getting bigger and bigger.

Only by constantly devouring and satisfying the appetites of this interest group will they continue to run. If they can't be fed, they will start to pour inward, and they will find a way to devour the other factions within the empire.

Ao Xin finally managed the Southern Barbarian Realm to achieve results, and the imperial court transferred him back to the capital, so that the court, nobles, and big families of the Great Zhou Empire could share the dividends of the Southern Realm.

But now that the cake of the Southern Barbarian Realm has been divided, what should I do?

The footsteps of the Southern Zhou Empire can't be stopped, there needs to be new dividends, and a bigger goal is needed.

The emperor wanted to find something to do for the Great Zhou court, so he naturally set his sights on the Borderland, and then the Northern Expedition won the empire.

The emperor has to find food for the empire, otherwise the interests of the empire will eat themselves.

So, am I, the Emperor, anxious to start the Borderlands War?

If it is a nascent empire, it can be taken slowly, because the entire ruling class of the empire is still very new and full of vitality.

But if you wait any longer, an old empire will not be able to accumulate national power as fast as the ruling class is corrupt and degenerate.

Emperor Wanyun's edict is really deafening. Even the prime minister, the second minister, sweated profusely.

Hu Yong's death admonition tore the emperor's face before, and this guilty edict, the emperor tore the face of his ministers.

Emperor Wanyun looked at the ministers of civil and military affairs who were kneeling on the ground, and said slowly: "Hearing the second and third holy decrees issued by me, some of you may feel in your hearts that I have gone crazy. ”

Suddenly, the civil and military officials tried their best to kowtow again.

"Don't worry, I'm not crazy!"

"Isn't it a rebellion in the south, isn't it that the Great Win Empire in the north is going to take advantage of the fire to rob? Even the Great Liang Kingdom in the west will come to join in the fun, and my Great Zhou Empire looks like it is in ambush on all sides, and it looks as if it is in danger of destroying the country?"

"I think it's good, it's good!"

"Isn't my Great Zhou Empire a military commander who is lazy and a civilian official who is corrupt? Under this danger of destroying the country, I want to see if you can cheer up?"

"Born in sorrow and dying in peace! The greater the crisis, the greater the motivation. ”

"I have decided, if there is a rebellion in the south, then suppress it to the end. The Great Win Empire in the north is about to invade, and I, the emperor, will personally go to guard the country. The Great Liang Kingdom in the west is coming to attack, and we will fight to the end and not let Huma cross the Great Wall in the west. ”

"Didn't some people keep saying that they were still in power with the Emperor Taishang? Then just let the Emperor Taishang and his old man guard the capital!"

"I don't care what you ministers do, anyway, I'd rather be crushed than surrender or compromise. I'd rather be the king of a fallen country than a king of compromise. ”

"My Great Zhou Empire will either be reborn from the ashes or shattered!"

Emperor Wanyun's voice resounded throughout the hall, shocking everyone's ears.

Only then did everyone understand that His Majesty the Emperor's martial arts were so high.

"Ladies and gentlemen, is there anyone else who wants to admonish me?" said Emperor Wanyun in a cold voice.

As he said this, his eyes turned to the Big Six of the Cabinet and the Privy Council.

The Big Six immediately knelt down and pressed their foreheads to the ground.

"Your Ministers obey!"

"Your Ministers obey!"

The emperor said: "Since there is no one to admonish you, then it is decided!" Fu Yantu, the 150,000 forbidden army has been assembled, and there are still troops from various provinces, which have also been assembled and headed south, waiting for you to receive them. Three days later, he swore to go south. ”

"The minister obeys the order!" Fu Yantu, the Marquis of Yongcheng, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to kill the Ao Xin family to sacrifice the flag?"

The emperor said lightly: "Sacrifice the flag?"

Fu Yantu was overjoyed, despite the twists and turns in the matter, he still became the governor of Zhengnan, and still mastered the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops, and he was still able to kill Ao Xin's entire family and avenge the whipping more than ten years ago.

The emperor said again: "Zhou Lian." ”

Zhou Lian, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." ”

The emperor said: "It took me thirty-five years to build the Great Wall of the West to resist the Great Liang Kingdom, and there are still more than 100,000 troops in the Zhenxi Governor's Mansion, can you go to the West to be the Governor of Zhenxi, can you defend the Great Wall of the West and resist the possible sneak attack of Da Liang?"

Zhou Lian kowtowed and said: "The minister is willing to make a military order, if the western border loses a state and a county, the minister will be killed." ”

The emperor said: "Okay, the proposed decree: canonize Zhou Lian, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, as the governor of the western part of the town and the protector of the western border." ”

Duke Zhou Lian kowtowed and said, "The minister obeys the order, thank you Lord Longen!"

"The northern army of the empire has assembled in advance on the Jinzhou defense line, waiting for me to hunt north in person. As long as the Emperor ** team dares to invade the south, I will fight him to the death. ”

The emperor's voice resounded throughout the hall, echoing and sonorous.

Simply from these wills of Emperor Wanyun, you can see how rich the family background of the old empire of Great Zhou is!

Last year, the First World War lost 300,000 or 400,000 troops, but they still did not break their bones.

With the emperor's will, he was able to gather more troops from the tens of millions of imperial populations.

Grain storage, national treasury silver, these are all family funds. It can only be said that the annexation of Nanban a few decades ago, and the dividends brought by the development of Nanban Realm are too huge.

Let the emperor have the confidence to roar.

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

The emperor's edict will spread all over the world in the shortest possible time.

At least in one day, it spread throughout the capital, and at the same time, two other decrees of the emperor also spread throughout the capital.

The army marched south to quell the rebellion, and never compromised with the traitors in the south, and suppressed it to the end.

In the face of the war blackmail of the Great Winning Empire, he was absolutely uncompromising, and fought to the end, and the emperor personally went north to guard the Jinzhou defense line.

I'd rather be crushed than compromised, surrendered.

The emperor guards the country.

These bold words also spread to everyone's ears in a short period of time.

Suddenly, countless people were moved by the emperor.

Many young and strong men went to join the army.

Many young civil and military officials were also very excited and impassioned.

In any case, these statements and bold words of Emperor Wanyun can indeed give strong encouragement to all the people in the world.

All the people must be the emperor who likes iron-blooded and tough, and the emperor who hates cowardice the most.

In an instant, the morale of the entire capital, and even the entire empire, will be high.

Then a sensible nobleman in the capital immediately played, for the great cause of the empire, in order to quell the rebellion in the south, the minister was willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver.

The other nobles in the capital were slightly stunned, and then scolded in their hearts.

My uncle, Wang Youliang!

What kind of show do you have? What kind of loyalty do you show? You are just an earl, and you take the lead in donating 10,000 taels of silver, but what about the marquis? What about the duke? You donated 10,000 taels, didn't you set all our other nobles on fire? You are just a second- or third-rate noble, what are you doing?

If this is the end of the empire, these nobles will not donate money, just like in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen personally turned his fate and took over those Ming nobles one by one like iron roosters, and only donated a few hundred taels of silver. Later, when Li Zicheng entered the capital, these nobles took out tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy their lives.

But today's Southern Zhou Empire is far from the end of the world, although it is full of dangers, but the national strength is still strong.

After a brief period of consternation, the nobles of the capital donated one after another.

10,000 taels for the earl, 20,000 taels for the marquis, and 30,000 taels for the duke.

Not only the nobles, but also the wealthy businessmen, and even the ordinary people have donated generously, and in a short period of time, the military expenses donated amounted to several million taels of silver.

Suddenly, the morale of millions of people in the capital of the Great Zhou Empire was skyrocketing.

Shout, fight, kill!

Emperor Wanyun's impassioned performance not only infected all the people in the world, but also directly resolved the previous crisis of public opinion.

The turmoil in Jiangzhou, the negative effect of Hu Yong's death was completely shattered by the emperor's performance in an instant.

It boosted the morale of the world.

It shocked the ministers, shocked the public opinion of the scholars, and inspired the middle and low-level military and civilians and officials.

He also took out millions of taels of military expenses from the pockets of the noble and wealthy families.

The soldiers and civilians of the Great Zhou Dynasty even showed their unity.

Today, Emperor Wan Yun's performance is perfect!

A tough and iron-blooded emperor is cast in the hearts of all the people in the world.

Even when the emperor retired from the dynasty, he directly ripped off the dragon robe on his body, revealing the armor inside, and when he wanted to put on the sword, it was not splendid, but a sharp sword.

Heroic and murderous.

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

However, after the armored, heroic emperor returned to the harem, he immediately restrained all the murderous aura on his face, all the impassionedness.

Then he sat there silently, motionless.

Immediately after, everyone came in.

This man is very strange, wearing monk's robes, but he has hair and no ring scars.

He is the emperor's first confidant, the master of the heartless.

A monk full of bizarre, even legendary monks, he has been friends with Emperor Wanyun for more than forty years, and to some extent, he is still the senior brother of Emperor Wanyun.

Most of the time, he stayed inside the temple and didn't see anyone. When Wan Yun didn't ascend the throne before, the two of them often played chess, but now this heartless master rarely comes to see the emperor.

"Did Your Majesty come to play chess with me?" said the monk Wuxin.

"yes. Emperor Wan Yun said.

Then, the two of them began to play chess.

About an hour later, the first game was over and the emperor lost.

"Aren't you going to say anything to me?" asked Emperor Wanyun.

"Your Majesty has already made up your mind for a long time, so there is no need to say it. The Wuxin monk said: "Is this second game of chess still played?"

Emperor Wan Yun said: "Down, why don't you go down?"

The Wuxin monk said: "Time is running out, and you can't finish a game of chess, isn't it uncomfortable to get stuck there?"

Emperor Wan Yun said, "How do you know that time is running out?"

The heartless monk said: "Your Majesty is waiting for the Emperor Taishang's response, right?"

"Hmm!" said Emperor Wan Yun.

The heartless monk said, "Your Majesty, do you have to get this response from him?"

"Yes!" said Emperor Wan Yun.

The heartless monk said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang can be called the wisest monarch in a hundred years, it is not easy to tempt, let alone force him to express his position, and the people's hearts are the most untestable." ”

Emperor Wanyun said: "If you don't even dare to tempt, then how can you do this emperor?"

The Wuxin monk said: "What if the Emperor Taishang doesn't respond?

Emperor Wanyun didn't speak, and said lightly: "I really don't like this Ao Xin, you don't know, his arrogance, that attitude, it's really ......."

For a long time, Ao Xin could be regarded as the first powerful minister of the Great Zhou Empire.

So Emperor Wanyun, who was the crown prince at that time, also wanted to win over several times, and Corporal Lixian's gesture didn't know how many times he did it, and he didn't know how many gifts he had given.

But the response was all cold.

When Ao Xin conquered the Southern Barbarians, he was in charge of the power, when Emperor Wanyun was still the crown prince, and Wu Zhen was still the deputy minister of the cabinet at that time, and the relationship with Emperor Wanyun was also quite close.

Wu Zhen had a son, Wu Qi, who served as a Wupin general in the Governor's Mansion of the Southern Metropolis, violated military discipline and should be beheaded according to the law.

Of course, the second prime minister Wu Zhen was reluctant to let his son die, so he asked the prince to come forward and plead with Ao Xin.

The prince came forward in person, and he didn't let Ao Xin let Wu Qi go, just to avoid the death penalty.

As a result, the prince sent an envoy to intercede on the first day, and Ao Xin beheaded Wu Qi the next day.

This is equivalent to a slap in the face of the prince, and he has lost face. Replaced by ordinary people, after Emperor Wanyun ascended the throne, he would have killed all the people a long time ago.

Therefore, Emperor Wanyun really didn't like Ao Xin, and after ascending the throne, he transferred Ao Xin back to the capital and made him a hussar general, which was already considered magnanimous.

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

Princess Xiangxiang only showed her face when she went out of the gate of the Qing Palace.

That's really...... A glimpse.

Then, at once, she entered the palanquin, hid her peerless face, and in an instant the area seemed to lose all color.

But the fragrance still lingers.

It makes people intoxicated, it sinks, and it makes people feel refreshed.

Princess Xiangxiang, not only because of his peerless appearance, but also because of her fragrance.

Wherever her palanquin goes, the aroma goes.

Countless people flocked to the window to see Princess Xiangxiang's palanquin. I can't see my face, but I smell the charming fragrance, and I can imagine what a stunning beauty the people in the sedan chair are.

According to the previous route, Princess Xiangxiang returned to the palace from Shangqing Palace to pass through the Black Ice Terrace.

Yun Zhonghe had calculated that the straight-line distance between him and Princess Xiangxiang in the cell was about fifty-three meters, and there were three thick walls in between.

So it is completely impossible to say hello.

And no one is willing to pass on the word for him, so how to contact this Xiangxiang princess?

Actually, X Psychiatric Hospital has already given the answer.

He finally won the psychiatric patient he had dreamed of, Beethoven, the number eight psychiatric patient who was always locked up in the dungeon.

Beethoven, the six-fingered violin.

He used an important piece of information to exchange a zither for a zither from the Black Ice Table.

Anyway, in this prison, there is only one prisoner, Ao Yu, and the one who usually comes to bring him food is a mute and deaf person.

Not only that, but the walls of this prison are so thick that the sound of the piano cannot be heard at all.

So there is nothing to give Ao Yu a zither, just to pass the time, he is already dying.

After getting the guzheng, the crane in the cloud kept playing.

Of course, there was no one to listen to but himself.

While playing, the crane in the cloud calculates the time in his head, and it must be accurate to the extreme.

Because the time for Princess Xiangxiang to leave the Shangqing Palace and return to the palace every time is fixed, almost accurate to the minute.

And the pace of the person carrying the sedan chair is also the same.

Of course, this would also give the Assassins the opportunity to ambush Princess Xiangxiang at a fixed time and route.

But who would assassinate her, and with thousands of warriors around her at all times, who could assassinate her?

The crane in the clouds drew a detailed topographic map in his mind, and it was three-dimensional.

Because then, he needs to get Beethoven on his body, and then penetrate several walls and drill into Princess Xiangxiang's ears, and only into her ears.

Princess Xiangxiang is a piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which are fine.

I like to read, I like to write, I like to draw, I like to play the piano.

Every level is the best, especially the piano art is at its peak, but he is still extremely obsessed with the piano music, and can even be called a piano idiot.

The Emperor Taishang and the Emperor both liked her to play the piano very much.

The emperor even said that after listening to the sound of the fragrant piano, people almost forgot the worries of the world.

But Princess Xiangxiang has a wide range of piano music, and can accept many genres, and the more novel the genre, the more she likes it.

Switching to someone else's piano would certainly not penetrate a few walls, but for Beethoven, it was a complete breeze.

In his thirteenth basement cell, he could kill people with death songs, and finally had to tie him up and prevent him from playing music.

His music can not only penetrate wall barriers, but also penetrate mental barriers, directly causing brain wave resonance to kill.

This is actually somewhat similar to the ultrasonic killing weapons studied on Earth.

The last time the crane in the cloud wanted to duel with Mo Qiu, he originally planned to dispatch the six-fingered qin demon Beethoven, but he didn't expect to be drawn, so he couldn't put this big move.

And now, it was a complete breeze to let the sound of the piano penetrate several walls and burrow into the ears of Princess Xiangxiang alone.

Not only in the ears, but also in the heart.

Needless to say, Beethoven's piano skills are needless to say, this madman is almost superpowered, the first person in hundreds of years of musical attainment.

The next thing is to choose a tune that can instantly impress Princess Xiangxiang.

The crane in the clouds originally planned to choose ancient famous songs such as "Guangling San" and "High Mountains and Flowing Water".

But...... Later, he found out that he really didn't like it.

He really didn't think it sounded.

Then he asked Beethoven to go up and feel it, and Beethoven replied that it was not good to hear from a purely auditory point of view.

So, the crane in the clouds planned to change the tune.

He gave a lot of tunes and then ...... Beethoven chose a song "Cloud Palace Xunyin", which is "Journey to the West Overture".

This is the work of composer Xu Jingqing in 1986, unlike "Mountains and Flowing Water" and "Flat Sand and Falling Geese", which has a history of hundreds of years or thousands of years.

But it's really, really amazing.

Playing it with a guzheng is really like fairy music. (If you don't believe it, it's absolutely amazing)

This is not an exaggeration, this is the most Xianle song that the crane in the clouds has ever heard. Because of this song, it was originally written in Asgard.

As long as an ordinary guzheng master plays it, it is already amazing.

And let Beethoven play it, that...... It's absolutely stunning.

Explosion-level effect.

The cranes in the clouds were shocked to the point that their scalps were numb and their bodies were terrified.

At this time, Beethoven was on his body, and the crane in the cloud was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a zither in front of him.

The calculations begin in the mind.

Princess Xiangxiang's sedan chair should have entered Tianhua Street.

Next, there is no need for Yun Zhonghe to predict and calculate in his mind, because he has already smelled it.

It's really shocking, dozens of meters away, across several thick walls, you can still smell the fragrance of Princess Xiangxiang?

This fragrance is really refreshing, close your eyes, as if you have encountered a hundred flowers in full bloom, full of flowers.

And this fragrance is changing, the last second is like a hundred flowers blooming, and the next second, it is like a hollow valley orchid.

It's amazing.

The crane held his breath and placed his hand on the strings.

When the time is up, the orientation is also aligned, and it is ready to be launched.

Beethoven put on his body and plucked the strings violently.

In an instant, "Cloud Palace Xunyin" was like fairy music, like a magic sound, violently penetrating the thick wall, flying a distance of dozens of meters, and directly into Princess Xiangxiang's sedan chair.

This piece is already very amazing, and with Beethoven playing it, and using his strange superpowers, how amazing is this performance?

Princess Xiangxiang in the sedan chair trembled slightly.

The little crystal clear ears immediately erected.

At this moment, she really seemed to have captured the fairy sound, and it seemed to be a magic sound.

It's just that at the beginning, this fairy sound was still ethereal, as if floating from outside the clouds of the Nine Heavens.

As the sedan chair moved forward, the fairy sound was in the ears, more and more clear, more and more clear.

She condensed all her spiritual power, as if she wanted to use all her strength to capture it.

"Onward!"

"To the left!"

"Further on, to the left!"

Princess Xiangxiang followed the sound of the fairy sound guzheng and came to the outside of the black ice platform.

"Stop!"

The man carrying the sedan chair immediately stood still, motionless.

Princess Xiangxiang sat in the sedan chair, closed her eyes, and listened to the wonderful sound of the piano.

It's amazing.

It's wonderful.

It has been many years since I was baptized by such a stunning music.

The whole thing is from the inside out, from top to bottom, as if it has been washed.

Her snow jade skin even had goosebumps one after another.

Who is this? What kind of tune is this?

How touching it is?

At this time, after the people of the Black Ice Platform saw Princess Xiangxiang's sedan chair, they immediately ran out.

The Metropolitan Governor Nangong was not there, and the Right Governor led hundreds of people to the palanquin of Princess Xiangxiang, and he had to kneel down neatly.

And they were terrified, because Princess Xiangxiang was the only person who could enter and leave the Qing Palace of the Emperor Taishang, and they thought that Princess Xiangxiang came with the will of the Emperor.

After the right governor of the Black Ice Platform knelt down, he had to salute loudly.

But Princess Xiangxiang's guard commander shook his hand desperately to keep the other party silent.

As a result, the right governor of the Black Ice Platform knelt on the ground with hundreds of people and did not move, not daring to disturb Princess Xiangxiang's intoxication.

Although, at this time, no one knew what Princess Xiangxiang was intoxicated with.

At this time, the crane in the cloud in the cell was playing and reveling in it.

Because, at this time, the straight-line distance between him and Princess Xiangxiang was already very close. And Beethoven's upper body, his perception ability is unprecedented.

So the fragrance of Princess Xiangxiang is already extremely clear.

He was even able to lock the position of Princess Xiangxiang according to this scent, and even the posture.

So, two people separated the wall.

One listens, the other smells, and communicates like never before.

Although they couldn't see each other, they were all amazed by each other.

What is this?

A meeting of golden wind and jade dew?

Got a good idea?

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

Half an hour later!

The performance of the crane in the clouds is over.

Princess Xiangxiang still closed her eyes and reminisced, intoxicated, and it took a while before she opened her beautiful eyes.

At this time, the right governor of the black ice platform outside kowtowed and said, "Welcome to Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Princess Xiangxiang didn't show up, but asked, "Who is locked up here? Who is playing the piano?"

The right governor of the Black Ice Platform frowned and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess, it's Ao Yu." ”

Next, the right governor's heartstrings tightened, lest Princess Xiangxiang say that she wanted to see this Ao Yu.

In that case, it would be difficult for him to do so, because he could not agree and would not dare to refuse.

The status of this Princess Xiangxiang is very transcendent, and after she left the Shangqing Palace, she almost represented the emperor.

However, Princess Xiangxiang just said softly: "I know, let's go, go to the palace to see my father." ”
