551 Future
"Extra! Extra! My emperor has issued the "Edict of Guilt"! A newsboy shook the newspaper in his hand desperately, shouting shocking news.
A few hours earlier, His Majesty the Emperor had read to the nation on the radio one of the most humiliating events since his accession to the throne – the Edict of Guilt.
In the past, there were a lot of things in the past when His Majesty the Emperor issued the "Edict of Sin", but after the Emperor of the Apocalypse created a new Ming Dynasty, there were few "Edicts of Sin" with no content in the past two hundred years.
For example, the previous emperors and their wives, perhaps natural disasters and locusts or floods in the Yellow River, or even some rebellion, had to issue a "Guilty Edict" to announce that the world was considered to be dealing with errands.
At that time, natural disasters were regarded as a manifestation of the punishment of the Son of Heaven. The emperor, who claims to be the Son of Heaven, must review and pray that his father will end the punishment as soon as possible and restore peace to the world.
The so-called "Edict of Guilt", that is, the confession of these dynasties who could not save themselves and did a face-saving project to ask for peace from nature, is just like the review book written by students to teachers, and everyone knows that it has no practical significance.
But as the Ming Empire entered a semi-industrial and semi-agricultural feudal capitalist society, natural disasters could not be blamed on the emperor, so the "Guilty Edict" had substance.
For example, the emperor who lost Ceylon and Japan before, his nickname was so bad that people wanted to cry without saying it, and he also issued two "Guilty Edicts", which can be regarded as the most cowardly emperor of the Ming Empire after the Apocalypse.
And Zhu Changle, who lost Fengtian, died before he could write his letter of repentance. As a result, after his death, he was called filial piety, which made Zhu Mu entangled for more than a year.
It was not until Zhu Mu ordered Wang Jue to counterattack, recapture Fengtian, and quell the rebellion in Liaodong in one go, that there was a follow-up to the later change of filial piety to mourn the emperor.
Although Zhu Changle later changed the nickname to Daocheng, the nickname of filial piety has actually been announced, and it cannot be truly modified and erased.
Now, His Majesty the Emperor, who has regained thousands of miles from Liaodong and regained his former territory, the Korean Peninsula, has actually issued an "edict of guilt" for the sake of a peace treaty? Are you kidding?
"Get me a newspaper!" A man in a decent shirt handed the newsboy two coppers, took a newspaper and read it.
Before he had finished reading the full text of the "Edict of Guilty" published in the newspaper, he heard a student walking by beside him loudly commenting on the emperor's back to the black pot this time: "How do these people do courtiers? ”
"Not really! The first time I heard that the emperor was responsible for such a loss of power and humiliation of the country! The ministers don't even have a person who worries about the king, and the world is getting worse and the people are not ancient! Another student shook his head and commented.
Looking at the two people who were far away, the man holding the newspaper sneered - His Majesty's love for his courtiers, how could these children who had not yet been exposed to political affairs be able to understand?
Also, what is Your Majesty going to do? In the man's mind, such an idea swirled. Could it be ...... Before this war is completely over, is the young emperor sitting in the Forbidden City already pregnant with the next war?
Looking at the clouds in the distance, the man walked forward step by step with his hands behind his back and holding the newspaper. He walked towards the city within the city in the distance, the place that symbolized the supreme power of the Ming Empire.
When he walked to the gate of the Forbidden City, he saw a young man standing there waiting for him. He knew the young man who was waiting for him, and the young man knew him who was holding the newspaper.
"Finally figured it out? Want to get out and do something? The young man waiting at the door asked, his tone seemed to be a little humble.
The man smiled slightly, but instead of answering the question, he asked: "Don't talk about me, a down-and-out person, let's talk about you, tell me about your affairs in North Korea, and then talk about your affairs on the Southeast Peninsula." ”
The young man was naturally Wang Jue, who had just returned to Beijing from the Southeast Peninsula, and he looked at the man in front of him, answering the man's questions one after another.
This man can be said to be his teacher, or he can be said to be the teacher of Zhu Mu and the two of them. In other words, this man is almost the real mastermind of this change in front of him.
"It's time for you to rest." Glancing at Wang Jue, who had traveled a long distance and his face was a little pale, the man said kindly: "I didn't come to see Zhu Mu this time, but to see you." ”
As he spoke, he took out two crumpled pieces of paper full of words from his pocket, handed them to Wang Jue and said, "Give this to Zhu Mu, just say that I begged him to let you take two years off." ”
"Teacher......" Wang Jue was stunned at first when he heard the man say this, and suddenly felt a little aggrieved: "Zhu Mu is not that kind of person, if you go in, I will ask my father to give up his position, and you will be the first assistant and the prime minister of the Ming Empire!" ”
"Isn't that the kind of person? I don't know if I'm right or wrong...... It's just that what the teacher can hand over to you has already been handed over to you, and the rest of the road, the road of the Ming Empire, can only go on your own. The man smiled and reached out to press Wang Jue's shoulder.
"Go ahead!" After pressing this, the man pinched the newspaper and turned back to the distance. He walked slowly, but with an unmistakable smell.
"Commander, keep up with it, keep an eye on ......" An officer walked out of the gate of the Forbidden City, looked at the back of the man in the distance, and halfway through his speech, he saw Wang Jue's eyes that seemed to be about to kill.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach. Only then did Wang Jue retract his sharp eyes, and opened his mouth to order: "Forget about this man, don't try to do anything, otherwise I will be the first to kill your entire family of 32!" ”
After finishing speaking, Wang Jue walked towards the Forbidden City with two pieces of old paper, and glanced at what was written on them as he walked.
The text above is not about one thing, and it is written in fragments. Wang Jue only watched part of it, and some of the things he was very interested in.
"The warship that takes off the aircraft at sea is named an aircraft carrier, and the tonnage of more than 30,000 is the best, and it will be changed in the future when it is done in one step...... I forgot to talk about the submarine last time I left...... With a diesel engine, the principle is probably like this...... Limit the expansion of capital, control it instead of being manipulated by it......" After seeing these words, Wang Jue's footsteps stopped, and then turned to look in the direction of the Forbidden City gate.
On this day ten years ago, that man came into their lives. No one knew the name of this man, only that he seemed to be very similar to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, both had the same dreams and saw the same future......
And Wang Jue knows that that future is the future of the Ming Empire, and it is a bright future.
------------
This book has come to an end.
Although this ending is too hasty, it is not the ending that Long Ling planned at the beginning.
The grades are too poor, and Long Ling can only compromise for life...... Long Ling has never liked such an ending, and resisted to this day, so he can only accept it helplessly.
I look forward to the fact that one day there will be a sequel to this book, and the world war between Wang Jue and Zhu Mu and others can kick off again.
If there is time, the dragon spirit will come back and write a good closing statement, leaving what he wants to say, so be it......
