164: Righteousness

The three swords of the people are stopped, mainly by Guo Zhengfang, the chief soldier "Chongyang Ba Sword", supplemented by Gu Han and Huo Ao, the deputy chief soldier "Tomb Sword" and "Thunder Fire Sword". When encountering a big enemy, of course, Guo Zhengfang came out first. He clenched the swarthy, heavy sword in his palm with both hands, and asked in a deep voice.

"City Lord Zhou, for hundreds of years, Wuyang City and our people have always been on the outside and helping each other. Today, the City Lord of Zhou suddenly turned against him, I don't know what the truth is?"

Zhou Xueyu mastered a three-foot ice front, and said lightly: "It's for the righteousness of the world." The three generals are the people, and Zhou has always admired them. But at the moment of righteousness, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die. As a last resort, Zhou had no choice but to offend. ”

Guo Zhengfang was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "What righteousness?"

Zhou Xueyu said lightly: "The blessing and misfortune of hundreds of millions of people in the Central Plains is righteousness. ”

Guo Zhengfang didn't know why, frowned and said: "If you have anything to say, you can understand it, you don't have to go around in circles like this." ”

Zhou Xueyu said slowly: "The weight of the military town in the world is not more important than people. For hundreds of years, those barbarians on the desert tried to plunder southward, and ninety-nine times out of a hundred, they all ran into their heads and bled before they stopped. The three generals have been guarding the people for decades, and they have made great achievements.

However, in recent years, there has been an endless stream of impeachment proceedings against the three generals in the imperial court, and the ordnance, food, and grass supplied to the people, as well as the salaries that should be paid by the soldiers, have also been repeatedly in arrears. There is such a thing, right?"

The three swords glanced at each other, each with a wry smile in their eyes. Guo Zhengfang immediately said in a condensed voice: "What if there is?"

Zhou Xueyu said in a condensed voice: "That's because in recent years, some Confucian civil officials in the imperial court have been advocating the peace of the Great Wei Dynasty in order to compete for power and profit, and the people of the Great Wei Dynasty have been peaceful, and there is no need for so many troops, and the army should not occupy so many imperial court taxes, and should be reduced."

Some people even believe that military generals control the army and have the potential to rebel at any time. There should be checks and balances between the civilian and civil authorities. It is better for the imperial court to formulate policies that stipulate that the nobles and the military are lowly. When a civil official sees a military general, he should be a third-level official out of thin air, so as to demonstrate the court's cultural and educational achievements. ”

The more Huo Ao listened, the more angry he became, and shouted angrily: "Nonsense! What is the rise of the four seas? Why don't you need so many troops?

For so many years, when did the beggars on the grassland desert ever die to our Huahua world in the Central Plains? In which year did they not want to break through the Renzhi Pass and break into the Central Plains to wantonly plunder? In what year, did they lack blood to paint the wall? The reason why the Great Wei Dynasty was able to bring peace and security to the country and the people was all because we, Qiu Ba, were desperately defending. Those civil officials who only know how to talk about their hearts and minds and do not understand anything are qualified to talk like this?

Zhou Xueyu said lightly: "Those civil officials are high-sounding, in the final analysis, they just look down on military generals in their bones, so they instinctively exclude dissidents, plus fight for power and profit." But the emperor just liked this set the most. Especially those emperors who don't immediately fight the world, they like it even more.

So although it was not explicitly stated, the imperial court did indeed begin to suppress the generals. The state of man's cessation is proof of this. In fact, not only people stop the customs, but all the military towns in the world have suffered the same in the past few years. In the long run, can the three generals imagine what will happen?"

Gu Ao let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice: "In the long run, the army of the imperial court will be completely abolished and will no longer be able to be used. Although in this way, the possibility of rebellion by the generals will indeed be reduced to a minimum, but once the foreign enemy invades, the consequences will be ...... It will be unimaginable. ”

Guo Fangzheng's tone was miserable, and he said slowly: "The affairs in the court are not something we can get involved in. As military ministers, the only thing we should do is to be faithful. No matter how the court treats us, we just need to guard this person's pass. The Son of Heaven is Shengming, and he is assisted by virtuous ministers like Zhuge Taifu. I believe that in the near future, the Son of Heaven will always wake up and start anew. ”

Zhou Xueyu said coldly: "General Guo's words are just deceiving himself. The little emperor who is currently in power has never stepped out of Bai Yujing. And from childhood to adulthood, the people who surrounded the little emperor were all Confucian scholars. Hearing and seeing, it's all Wenchen's set. The vigilance and fear of the generals may have penetrated into his bone marrow.

Therefore, the older the little emperor gets, the more strictly he will implement the Wenchen system. Unless he suddenly turns sexual. Otherwise, it would be unrealistic to expect this little emperor to change his course. But while our Great Wei Dynasty is destroying the Great Wall like this, what are the beggars on the northern grassland desert doing?"

Huo Ao was silent for a long time, and then said in a condensed voice: "The beggars on the grassland desert were originally a plate of scattered sand, divided into hundreds of tribes, large and small, fighting each other endlessly. But ten years ago, there was a heroic wizard among the beggars, who called himself 'Blue Wolf'. He fought in the east and west, was invincible, and almost unified the entire grassland desert. Now the blue wolf is mobilizing his troops and horses, and he is reorganizing his arms and fighting on a large scale, and he may also go south at any time. When the time comes...... I'm afraid ......"

"Thunder Fire Sword" did not continue. But what he said, in fact, everyone present knew it, but all along, no one would easily say such words. It is like a person who is sick and refuses to go to the doctor. It's as if if you don't see a doctor, you're not sick. Cover your ears and steal the bell, complete ostrich mentality.

Zhou Xueyu said in a deep voice: "Not bad. Under the leadership of the blue wolf, the desire of the beggar people to fight is unprecedentedly high, and the war between the Central Plains and the desert is about to break out at any time.

But the little emperor in the court actually listened to the instigation of those Confucian scholars and ministers, and came to suppress the generals at this time, and the big vortex was coming, only in front of him. When the time comes, the people will stop and break through, and the beggars will drive their horses straight into Gyeonggi, wantonly burning, killing and looting, how many Chinese people will be scattered and their families will be ruined? Needless to say, the three generals should also understand, right? If you want to avoid this catastrophe, unless you ...... it?"

The three swords could hear it, and they all asked in unison, "Unless what?"

Zhou Xueyu said slowly: "Unless there is a different emperor." An emperor who really knows how to govern the world. ”

Guo Zhengfang was taken aback, and blurted out: "Nonsense! The position of the Son of Heaven is also something that you can discuss? Zhou Xueyu, you want to rebel!"

Zhou Xueyu said coldly: "The emperor will take turns to do it, and he will come to my house next year." Let's ask the princes and generals, what kind of thing is that our Zhou family in Beicheng has existed for more than 300 years. But three hundred years ago, what was the Baili family? General Guo, you don't still believe in myths like the True Dragon Mandate and the Crape Myrtle Star?"

Guo Zhengfang snorted heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Although the doctrine of destiny is ethereal, the turmoil of the country is not the blessing of the common people. Now that the war in Northern Xinjiang is imminent, the Great Wei Dynasty cannot be in chaos first. ”

Zhou Xueyu said lightly: "Three generals, don't misunderstand. I, Zhou Xueyu, still have some self-knowledge, compete for martial arts, and maybe I can compete with the heroes of the world for a short time. But to govern the world, it is by no means this material. So I just wanted to change the dynasty, but I never thought about changing the dynasty. ”

Guo Zhengfang was stunned and asked, "What does this mean?"

Zhou Xueyu said in a deep voice: "What I mean is that the current little emperor is not qualified to be an emperor at all. Don't say that he, even his Lao Tzu, that is, the deceased Emperor Taizong, is not qualified. ”

Huo Ao couldn't help but ask, "So, who is qualified?"

Zhou Xueyu's expression was serious, and he said word by word: "Emperor Taizu's eldest son, the king of extermination!"

In an instant, Guo Zhengfang, Gu Han, Huo Ao, and the other three chief military officers were taken aback at the same time, and exclaimed: "Extermination King, he is still alive, how is it possible?!"

Zhou Xueyu looked serious and said slowly: "Not bad." The King of Extermination is still alive. General Guo, the demeanor of the King of Extermination, you saw it with your own eyes back then. You say, on Tao and on martial arts, is the little emperor today comparable to one-tenth of the king of extermination?"

Guo Zhengfang was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Yes, the extermination of Wang Wencai's martial arts is unparalleled in the world." But being an emperor is not something that can be done with high talent. The King of Extermination has an impulsive personality and is brutal and easy to kill. When he followed Emperor Taizu to fight the world, he often slaughtered the city. Such a person being the emperor is by no means the blessing of the Great Wei. ”

Zhou Xueyu shook his head and said: "The blue wolf on the grassland desert is not only an invincible commander who wins a hundred battles, but also the number one master in the desert world. To deal with this kind of enemy, no one other than the King of Extermination has the ability to do so.

For the blessing and misfortune of hundreds of millions of people in the Central Plains, only when the King of Extermination ascends the throne as emperor can this catastrophe be avoided. And it is precisely for this reason that I led Wuyang City to take refuge under the command of the King of Extermination and serve the King of Extermination. Because this is the righteousness of the world. Three generals, if you also have a righteous heart, then you should be like me, and immediately change your court and worship the king of extermination. ”

"I'm sorry. This is the only thing that cannot be done in any way. ”

Without thinking about it at all, Guo Zhengfang immediately refused. He clenched his "Chongyang Overlord Sword" with both hands, and said sharply: "The country changes hands, how can it be child's play? Not to mention that loyal ministers don't care about the two masters." We will only be loyal to the present day, and will never serve a tyrant who is brutal and bloodthirsty, and kills wantonly. City Lord Zhou, for the sake of the Zhou family in Beicheng who has been loyal to the country for generations, you immediately leave with these people. Otherwise, don't blame the old man for not remembering the love of the past 30 years. ”

Gu Han and Huo Ao didn't speak, but in an instant, they also made a posture of concentrating and preparing for war like Guo Zhengfang.

Zhou Xueyu's eyebrows showed disappointment. shook his head and said: "Three generals, you are for the country and the people, and you do not hesitate to shed blood and sweat. But in the end, what you get is suspicion, jealousy, and suppression. Are you just willing to do this? Even so, are you still willing to continue to work for the little emperor who doesn't know what to do?

Guo Zhengfang's eyes widened, and he shouted: "There is no need to say more! Zhou Xueyu, if you take refuge in the King of Extermination, that is the rebellion of the imperial court and is heinous." According to the law, he should be punished with a thousand knives and put to death. For the sake of friendship with your Beicheng, the old man made an exception for favoritism, so that you can have a good time. See!"

"Choking~"

Before the cheers fell, a surging energy suddenly burst into flames. Guo Zhengfang urged the valley to the top, and urged the true qi of the inner family who had cultivated all his life to the peak of the extreme realm!

The extremely powerful and domineering internal force was all poured into the extremely heavy and huge "Chongyang Overlord Sword", which was seven feet long and weighed fifty catties. On the blade of the sword, it was as if it was coated with a layer of dazzling, unforgivable blazing golden light.

Immediately afterwards, Guo Zhengfang was like a tiger out of the gate, soaring into the air and rushing to kill. The fierce sword is like a storm in all directions, but it is not moving, and there is a thunder and fierce force when it moves, and it is unstoppable. It can be seen that although Guo Zhengfang is old, the sword in his hand is definitely not old!
