Chapter 285: Fate of the Crane in the Clouds! (Important)
"Crane in the clouds, do you want to be the emperor?" the Great Win Emperor asked, "You don't have to be mentally pressured, tell me generously." â
Yun Zhonghe thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't want to." â
Emperor Da Ying said: "Who is the most important person in this world to you?"
The crane in the cloud said: "My wife, my children, my parents, etc. â
Emperor Da Ying nodded and said, "Your words are sincere, but this world is often very ridiculous, and people who want to be emperors can't do it." People who don't want to do it can often do it. â
Yun Zhonghe said: "Probably, it's not like that. â
Emperor Da Ying said: "Crane in the clouds, you went undercover in Split Wind City, and as a result, you helped us win and take the entire borderland. You went undercover for the Great Zhou Empire, and as a result, you helped us take down the entire Great Zhou Empire. Do you want to continue to go undercover? To be an undercover to the extreme, to go undercover for the empire, to become an emperor?"
As soon as these words came out, the crane in the cloud shrank his eyes.
"You are the grandson of the Great Xia Emperor, and you still have the purest blood of the Great Yan Imperial Family. Emperor Da Ying said: "If I send you to the Great Xia Empire to go undercover and compete for the position of crown prince and emperor, what do you think?"
The crane in the clouds has a tingling scalp, this is probably the most ridiculous plan in the world.
The most awesome undercover agent on the planet is just the deputy minister of defense of the enemy country. I have become the Duke of Ao Guo of the Great Zhou Empire, and I have reached the pinnacle.
Now, you've asked me to go undercover and become the emperor of an enemy country?
In Infernal Affairs, Liang Yongren only almost became the boss of Tsim Sha Tsui.
The crane in the cloud said hoarsely: "For ...... What?"
The Great Win Emperor said: "The first reason is that it takes time for my Great Win Empire, a long time, because we have just annexed the entire Great Zhou, and it will take several years to digest. The second reason is that although the Great Xia Empire has suffered a great loss of vitality, it is still the number one power in the world. My big win has just annexed the Great Zhou, and it will definitely cause the jealousy of the Great Xia and the Great West Empire, so the next two empires will definitely join forces to deal with me Big Win, have you ever seen a python swallowing sheep?"
The crane in the clouds nodded.
Emperor Da Ying said: "Our Da Ying Empire, whether it is land, population, or national strength, is comparable to the Great Zhou Empire, and now the annexation of the entire Great Zhou is like a python devouring a goat, and its belly is very big, almost cracked." Often at this time, the python can only stand still, so this is also the most dangerous moment for my big win empire. â
The emperor had a very good point.
Emperor Da Ying said: "The center of gravity of the Great Western Empire is in the west, not in the east, so if a war against me is set off, it must be dominated by the Great Xia Empire." If you can go undercover in the Great Xia Empire and compete to become the crown prince, then you can influence the national policy of the Great Xia Empire and prevent this war. â
The crane in the cloud said: "Then what?"
Any undercover agent, as long as he becomes the emperor, will not be able to maintain his position.
Emperor Da Ying said: "In the future, I will talk about it in the future, our Da Ying Empire will fully support you and become the crown prince of the Great Xia Empire." â
Yun Zhonghe instinctively thought of the rebellion of the crown prince of the Great Xia Empire thirty years ago, and it was this rebellion that greatly damaged the vitality of the Great Xia Empire and lost the crushing power of the Great Zhou and the Great Win Empire.
So behind this prince's rebellion, is it the black hand that won the empire?
Even, did the Great Win Empire once support the wise and martial prince of Great Xia?
Emperor Da Ying said: "After becoming the crown prince of the Great Xia Empire, especially after ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, it is difficult to say what position you hold." The future is war or peace, and the future will be talked about. â
The crane in the cloud still felt a sense of absurdity.
Emperor Da Ying said: "Are you thinking, I obviously know that you are the blood of the Great Yan Imperial Family, but you still let the tiger return to the mountain and the dragon enters the sea, right? In the future, if you become the emperor of the Great Xia Empire, you may have to destroy my Da Ying and truly dominate the world." â
The emperor gently patted the stone wall and said, "Then I'll say it, and I'll talk about the future in the future." And I think that as long as the world is unified, it will be a great good thing after all, right? The worst unity is better than the best of being divided. â
This sentence is true, even when the Manchu Qing was at its weakest, its national strength was much stronger than in the warlord melee years of the twentieth century.
When the Manchu Qing Dynasty was at its weakest, it could directly take out tens of millions of taels of silver to buy a powerful fleet. And in the twenties, when the warlords were fighting, millions of silver oceans could buy a warlord to sign an extremely humiliating treaty.
Emperor Da Ying continued: "I gave you the surname of Win, just to let you remember this little affection, just to let you have a little sense of belonging, thinking that the Da Ying Empire is your other home. Then in the future, after you become the emperor of the Great Xia Empire, you will be able to remember a little bit of old feelings. â
Yun Zhonghe said: "Your Majesty, I am the heir of the Great Yan Imperial Family, and I am the grandson of the Great Xia Emperor, this is just what you are saying, the Great Xia Empire may not recognize it, why should people recognize my status as a prince?"
Emperor Da Ying said: "Then we need to work together, the truth is useless many times, but the truth is also the most powerful weapon, because the truth can't be faked." â
The crane in the clouds was silent.
Emperor Da Ying said: "This undercover mission, there is only one, to prevent the Great Xia Empire from starting a war against us, so that we have enough time to annex the Great Zhou." â
The crane in the cloud said: "Your Majesty, is this an order?"
The Great Win Emperor said, "Are you willing?"
The crane in the cloud said: "I don't want to. â
The Great Win Emperor said, "Why?"
Yun Zhonghe said: "I'm tired, I don't want to be an undercover agent anymore." â
The Great Win Emperor said, "Then what do you want to do?"
The crane in the clouds said: "Wandering." â
Emperor Da Ying said slowly: "Crane in the clouds, Ao Ming said, I want to cut you to the roots, only by killing you can we completely cut off future troubles." But do you think I'm such a narrow-minded and incompetent person? I was so frightened by a legend that I remembered a story. â
The crane in the cloud said: "The minister listens. â
Emperor Da Ying said: "There is an old man who gave birth to a precious son, and a fortune teller came and said that in twenty years, this son of yours will kill you." So the old man was ruthless and threw away the newborn baby, and as a result, the baby was picked up and raised by a robber, and when he grew up, he also became a robber. Twenty years later, the boy became the new leader of the bandits, leading many robbers to storm the old man's house and loot it, and kill the old man. â
This story is really a tragedy.
Emperor Da Ying said: "Then do you think that this fortune teller is right, or is it not right?"
If it weren't for his fortune-telling, the old man would not have thrown away his son, and the tragedy might not have happened twenty years later.
Emperor Da Ying said: "And now Ao Ming, or Emperor Tianzuo is the fortune teller, they say that you will definitely become a scourge in the future and will destroy our Da Ying Empire, because you have the golden blood of the Great Yan Imperial Family." So in order to avoid future troubles, I will kill you, so what's the difference between me and that old man?"
Emperor Da Ying sighed softly and said, "Little Crane, the cycle of cause and effect in this world is a very mysterious and mysterious thing. Cause determines effect, but sometimes cause and effect can be converted into each other. You don't want to be an emperor, you have no ambitions, and you cherish your family, you value your feelings. If I don't hurt your feelings, I don't believe it, and one day you will hurt me, and I don't believe it to death. â
"But if I really hurt you today, and I really want to kill you, but I don't succeed, then there may really be a tragedy in the future, and you will really be the one who destroyed my empire. â
"Fate......" Emperor Daying said: "The so-called fate is composed of countless causes and effects, and if I don't plant evil causes today, I don't believe that evil consequences will be borne in the future." I won't kill you because of the crane in the clouds, I will definitely not kill you because you are the heir of the Great Yan Dynasty, I will definitely not kill you because there is a legend that you will bury the Great Win Empire in the future, if this is the case, I am not worthy of becoming a generation of heroes. â
Then, the Great Win Emperor stretched out his hand towards the crane in the clouds.
The crane in the cloud stretched out his hand and shook the big win emperor.
Emperor Da Ying said: "Gongsun Yang has always asked me to kill you, you have to forgive him, because he is completely loyal to me, loyal to the Da Ying Empire, his thinking mode is to nip any risk in the bud, I can't say whether his thinking is right or wrong, but I just want to say that if you think like this, then this world will become a desert, and no grass will grow." â
The crane in the cloud said in a hoarse voice: "The minister doesn't dare." â
Emperor Da Ying said: "Regarding the matter of undercover Great Xia Empire and competing for the throne of Great Xia, I will not force you, completely relying on your will, you have a lot of time to think about it." â
The crane in the cloud bowed down and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen." â
Then, the crane in the clouds said, "Your Majesty, what about my family?"
Emperor Da Ying said: "Ao Xin's family, I have taken over, I have built a big manor for you in the capital of Da Ying, and there is also a huge mansion in the city, Xu Anfei and the child have already lived in it." Ling Zun Aoxin's family may go home earlier than you. But...... Princess Xiangxiang, as you should know, shielded herself and didn't want to see anyone. â
"And Jing Zhongyue and her two children, you know, we can't control this woman, and we can't call her back. Emperor Da Ying said: "I have sent several groups of people to take them to the capital of Da Ying, but she refused, she wants to continue to wander." â
"Well, today we have made our words clear. Emperor Da Ying said: "I have said everything that should be said and what should not be said, and then I will go home first." I still say the same thing, I hope that the big win capital can give you a sense of belonging. â
That night, the crane in the clouds accompanied the Great Win Emperor to live in Splitting Wind City.
Every day, he accompanied the emperor to play chess and talk, and sometimes accompanied the emperor to hunt.
The good news from Da Zhou's side came one after another.
The so-called Emperor Zhou Ling of the Western Zhou Dynasty has been completely defeated and fled to the Great Western Empire, and the army of Ying Yu has all recovered the western border.
Next, the Southern Courtyard will gather 400,000 troops to attack the southern border.
As long as you take the southern border, the entire Great Zhou will be completely eaten.
It's not about eating, it's more about digestion.
During this time, the crane in the clouds accompanied the Great Win Emperor in Split Wind City, and saw waves of troops moving south.
Groups of officials headed south.
Yun Zhonghe said: "Your Majesty, so many troops are sent to Da Zhou?"
Emperor Da Ying said: "Yes, originally 400,000, an additional 300,000 will be sent, and at least 700,000 troops will be in the territory of the Great Zhou." â
Yun Zhonghe said: "But now it seems that the Great Zhou Empire's will to resist is not fierce at all, and it doesn't even mean to resist. â
Emperor Da Ying said: "That's now, once the Great Xia Empire and the Great Western Empire send troops to attack my Great Win, then these armies surrendered by the Great Zhou Empire, the officials may repeat at any time, and at that time, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty is full of smoke, everyone is the king and hegemon, even if we have three heads and six arms, it will be difficult to parry." â
..........................................
Suddenly, one day, the emperor said, "Crane in the clouds, come, come, come, let's go together to meet a distinguished guest." â
The crane in the cloud hurriedly finished dressing and followed the emperor to greet this distinguished guest.
This is an old man, with all white hair, fairy wind and bones, a slightly obese old man, chic and uninhibited, and his robe is relatively sloppy.
"Taiweng!" the Emperor personally descended the steps to greet him.
The crane in the clouds knows who this person is, Li Tai'a, the great master of the world's articles, and the Taishan Beidou of the literary world in the Eastern world.
He also has an identity, once the crown prince of the Great Xia Empire, the prince's teacher.
After the defeat of the Great Xia Prince's rebellion, most of the other henchmen were killed, but this Li Tai'a, because his reputation was too great, the Great Xia Emperor did not dare to kill him, and exiled him to the extreme west.
After ten years in the bitter cold land of the extreme west, the Great Xia Emperor pardoned Li Tai'a, and from then on he began to travel the world, writing many immortal chapters.
His fame is growing and no one can match him.
So no matter where he went, he became a guest, whether it was the Great Zhou Emperor or the Great Win Emperor, they all respected him very much, and even the Great West Emperor kept calling himself a student in front of Li Tai'a.
Li Tai'a only arched his hand to the Great Win Emperor, and then looked at the crane in the clouds and said, "Is this Mr. Yunzhonghe, who is unparalleled in poetry?
The crane in the clouds said: "The great master is casual, casual. â
The emperor smiled: "I have invited Mr. Li Tai'a to give lectures in my Daying Empire many times, I may have wanted to listen to Mr. Tai'a's teachings many times, but each time I was refused, this time I still stained the light of your crane in the clouds, otherwise I would not have seen Mr. Tai'a's fairy face." â
Next, the emperor held a banquet to entertain Mr. Li Tai'a.
"What about the end of 'The Stone'?" asked Mr. Li Tai'a as soon as he sat down.
The crane in the cloud said: "It hasn't been written yet." â
Mrs. Li said: "Why don't you write it?"
Yun Zhonghe said: "Because the goal has been achieved, I don't bother to write down." â
These words made Li Tai'a angry, and he directly reprimanded: "You are a good literary genius, why don't you write books well, and do you want to get involved in any political affairs? And go to be a secret agent, isn't this a tyrannical thing? â
The Great Win Emperor laughed with him on the side.
This great master is eighty years old this year, and his anger comes and goes quickly.
Next, he talked about poetry with the crane in the clouds with great interest.
talked about "The Story of the Stone" and "The Story of the East Chamber", Emperor Daying almost couldn't insert a sentence at all, but he didn't care, he just poured wine.
"For example, today's two strange books, "The Story of the Stone" and "The Story of the East Chamber", were written by you. Li Tai'a said: "In terms of fame, "The Story of the East Chamber" is even bigger, and the world is regarded as the first strange book in the world. â
"The Story of the East Chamber" was written by the crane in the clouds for Hei Ao Ming and Duan Yingying, it is a dark version of "The Legend of the West Chamber", which is the first step in this world to be terrifying, thrilling, and suspenseful, and it is full of amazing reversals.
Many people are fans of him, including Wan Yunhuang Dì Dū, who is full of praise.
Mrs. Li said: "However, the people who will make this kind of comment are all unlearned and unskilled. Although "The Story of the East Chamber" is good, it only stimulates people's spiritual emotions, and in terms of artistic achievements, it is far inferior to "The Story of the Stone". â
In the next few days, Grand Master Li Tai'a stayed in this Splitting Wind City, talking with the crane in the clouds and His Majesty the Emperor all the time, talking about the past and the present, and talking like a river.
Most of the time, the emperor was an observer, and basically there was no room to speak.
Li Tai'a's literary attainments are indeed amazing, and he has reached the point of being a top genius, Lord Zhu Lantian is already awesome, but compared to Li Tai'a, it is completely different.
He blurted out the classic verses completely, and no one was allowed to write them.
Yun Zhonghe has memorized countless poems in his head, and because of the knowledge of later generations, he also knows a lot about astronomy and geography, so he can talk freely with Li Tai'a.
Two people, if they don't agree with each other, they will write poetry.
Classic sentences, completely gushing.
often talking and talking, Mrs. Li will come up with a question and let people compose poems.
There are many poems in the crane in the clouds, and it is easy to make good sentences.
But he found that the poems he copied from the ancient Chinese were sometimes not as good as Li Tai'a's originals, which were really awesome.
And most of the time, the emperor waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, it's better to hide the ugliness than to hide it, I'll help you record it, so that when your poems are beautiful for centuries, you can also make my reputation as an emperor by the way, after all, these poems were copied by the emperor." â
When he said this, Emperor Da Ying was full of self-deprecation.
And this Mr. Li Tai'a and Yun Zhonghe are really like confidants, talking endlessly every day, talking together during the day, and even sleeping in the same room at night, chatting and falling asleep.
It's really 24 hours a day.
And the better the crane's poetry and writing, the more Mr. Li Tai'a will scold, saying that he doesn't do serious things, and he is obviously a literary genius, but he is fooling around in the political field every day, don't you know that politics is the dirtiest?
And he is telling the crane in the clouds every day, don't be an official, just follow him to the end of the world.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if two people could work together and build a cottage and be widely apprenticed and taught poetry.
"If you feel bored, just bring one or two women, isn't that Ning Qing your concubine? You just take it with you, while helping you warm your bed, while waiting for you to live, and can also help you write on your ghost, isn't it as happy as a fairy?" Grandmaster Li Tai'a had bad ideas one after another, and he was not pedantic at all, and he was very uninhibited when he spoke.
On this day, the emperor, Li Tai'a, and Yunzhonghe went out hunting and picnic again.
Mr. Lee made a pheasant called a flower chicken, wrapped a pheasant in clay, roasted it over a fire, and then went to a pond to wash his hands.
Looking at the reflection in the water, his white hair was like snow, and he suddenly sighed: "Thirty years have been in the past, and now the temples are all gone." Singing all day long like madness, decay and illness like a thin fairy. Eight precepts hold the incense seal at night, and the three-yuan dynasty is a bead. The rest was cleaned up by the spring, and they slept drunk without leisure. (Bai Juyi wrote, borrowed it)
"Good poetry!" exclaimed the crane in the clouds.
"Good poetry!" the emperor clapped his hands.
Mrs. Li said: "Come, come, come, make a poem with white hair today, all come, all come, you do it first." â
Yun Zhonghe thought for a while, and said without slander: "The white hair is three thousand zhang, and the fate is like a long one." I don't know where to get the autumn frost in the mirror?"
Li Bai's poems, if you don't copy them, you don't copy them, you absolutely don't copy them.
As soon as this poem came out, Li Tai'a and Huang Dì Dū were stunned.
This poem is also too awesome, a real genius.
"I am ...... day" Grandmaster Li Tai'a said: "Crane in the clouds, it is a shameful waste for people like you to mix politics, from now on, get serious, write poems and articles, what kind of bullshit official?"
Then, Li Tai'a said to Emperor Daying: "Your Majesty, it's your turn. â
Emperor Da Ying said helplessly: "I really prepared a poem, which was barely above the level, but now as soon as the poem of the crane in the clouds comes out, I won't read it, it's too embarrassing to read it." â
Mrs. Li said: "Understand, understand, as soon as his poem came out, the old man couldn't write poetry for at least half a day." â
And at this moment, a eunuch rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, there is a secret music, eight hundred miles urgent." â
Without saying a word, the Emperor immediately turned on his horse and wanted to return to Windbreaker City.
The crane in the clouds will also follow him on his horse and leave with him.
Mrs. Li said: "This is called the flower chicken is not yet cooked, I finally made it, and I will leave without eating." â
The emperor said: "I am a layman, and I have unfinished political affairs, so I don't have this oral administration." Crane in the clouds, you accompany the great grandmaster to finish eating this called flower chicken. â
"Yes!" said the crane in the clouds.
The emperor rode away.
"Protect the Grand Master and Lord Yunzhonghe, but don't get too close and don't disturb the interest of the two. The emperor ordered.
"Yes. â
Then, the Emperor rode back to Windbreaker City.
Yun Zhonghe and Mr. Li Tai Ah are on the edge of the pond and continue to barbecue. There were hundreds of masters around, all of whom were hundreds of meters away to protect the safety of the two.
And at this time, thunder began to thunder in the sky, and raindrops fell.
Mr. Li Tai'a hurriedly took out the chicken called flower buried in the fire and said, "Quick, go to the cave to hide from the rain." â
Then, the two of them hid in a small cave, lit a bonfire inside, and continued to barbecue and call Hua Chicken.
Suddenly, the hairs behind the crane stood on end.
Because, there are people in this cave, and there is more than one person.
The crane in the clouds looked at Mr. Li Tai'a like lightning.
And at this time, Mr. Li Tai'a put away all the laughter and scolding, put away all the absurdity, meticulously combed his hair, and then in this cave, knelt down to the crane in the clouds.
It is not a simple prostration, but three prostrations and nine prostrations.
"Minister Li Tai'a, meet Your Highness, Chitose Chitose Chitose. â
At the same time, more than a dozen black shadows all appeared, bowing down around the crane in the clouds, crying and trembling: "The ministers meet His Highness, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
Then, Mrs. Li's forehead was attached to the upper of the crane in the clouds, and she cried depressedly: "Your Highness, master, the minister has been looking for you for 20 years, the minister has traveled all over the world, overseas, to the Tianshan Mountains, to the extreme north, to the extreme west, and has walked hundreds of thousands of miles, just to find you, and now I finally see Your Highness, and the old minister is blind to death." â
Then, Mrs. Li lay on the ground crying and trembling so violently that she couldn't even stand up all of a sudden.
And the dozens of black-clothed people around him also cried suppressedly.
After a long while, Mrs. Li said: "Your Highness, these dozen people brought by the old minister are your father's most loyal guards, and their martial arts are amazing, so we will take you out with you." â
The crane in the cloud said: "Escape, where to escape?"
Li Tai'a said: "Of course, you are returning to Great Xia and inheriting the throne, you are the most descendant of the Great Xia Empire." Now that the Emperor of Great Xia is seriously ill and may die at any time, Your Highness, you must return to Great Xia to succeed to the throne as soon as possible, and it will be too late to do so. â
The crane in the cloud trembled and said, "The Great Xia Emperor is seriously ill?"
Mrs. Li said: "He is terminally ill, I am afraid that time is running out, just when he is unconscious, he keeps reciting your father's name, although he doesn't say it, but he regrets it in his heart, he knows that he is wrong, it is impossible for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to rebel back then, he fell into the treacherous scheme of the big win empire." The old emperor also knew that the crown prince had two children, and he didn't know how many times he dreamed of the two highnesses, and after waking up, he often burst into tears. â
Mrs. Li wept bitterly and said: "The old emperor often writes to me, admits his mistakes to me, and asks me if I have the whereabouts of my two children, he is your own grandfather, and now he misses you very much and needs you very much." Your Highness, let's go back to Great Xia immediately, and pass on the throne to you while the old emperor is still sane. There are hundreds of masters who have won the emperor outside, but these iron guards are one against ten, and they are desperate to kill with His Highness. â
Then, Li Tai'a ordered: "Tie Guard, protect Your Highness, fight your way out of the siege, and return to Great Xia." â
"Yes!" a dozen guards bowed in unison.
....................................
At the same time, a few kilometers away on the top of the mountain.
Standing among the trees, Emperor Da Ying took out a telescope, and the target he looked at was the cave where Yun Zhonghe and Li Tai'a were.
Gongsun Yang next to him said: "Your Majesty, Li Tai'a and Emperor Xia Tiewei are in this cave, and they can be used at any time to kill them all." â
Emperor Da Ying said lightly: "Don't worry, don't worry." Now is the moment when Li Tai'a and the Lord of the Crane in the Clouds meet, don't disturb them, this scene must be very moving. It took him decades to finally find him, the monarch. â
Gongsun Yang said: "Your Majesty, this cave has been buried with a large amount of gunpowder, and it is highly poisonous, so you can easily kill them all." The thousands of Black Dragon Terrace masters around us have already surrounded them, and as long as they give an order, they can be slaughtered. â
Emperor Da Ying said: "Don't worry, see what the crane in the clouds does?"
Then, he waved his hand, and Gongsun Yang and the others left.
Emperor Da Ying continued to look at the cave more than 2,000 meters away with his binoculars.
He said, "Mr. Li Tai'a, the crane in the clouds, is it true that you use white hair to make poems? â
Then, the Great Win Emperor slowly read out the poem:
Sleep in the cold lamp.
Leakage sound break, moon oblique window paper.
Since the emperor is in thousands of miles.
Who knows, although the temples are crippled, the heart is not dead.
At the same time, there was a terrifying sound of thunder outside, and the earth-shattering lightning, like a swimming dragon, crisscrossed hundreds of miles, and slashed down.
In an instant, it was as if the sky was falling apart.
Who knows, although the temples are crippled, the heart is not dead.
This is the poem that the Great Win Emperor is doing now.
And the wreck cave of Emperor Nu, the place where it was scraped off, the words written: Who knows, the temples are not broken, and the heart is dead.
He was the mysterious man, the mysterious man who had obtained the other half of the Fury Emperor's treasure.
He's ...... In addition to the White Cloud City Lord, the Great Salty Demon Kingdom is another true Dark Monarch!
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
Dark clouds overheaded, lightning flashed and thundered, and the sky and the earth cracked.
No wonder the Tianzuo God Emperor said that last words to the crane in the clouds before he died, the end of this world has come.
..........................................
Note: It's finally finished, and the recent plots are very critical.
Ladies and gentlemen, the monthly pass is so desolate, take a handful of pastries, okay?!
