The royal capital.

All the people knelt, or rejoiced, or excited, there were those who repeatedly kowtowed, and there were those who burst into tears, their center, where their attention was, the people who led the army across the horse, the commander of the Huaxia Kingdom, Ye Gucheng!

In the main hall, Ye Gucheng sat expressionlessly.

His Royal Highness, the military generals of Wenchen solemnly reported the situation of civil strife.

Dozens of civil and military generals participated in the rebellion, more than 20 senior officials were appointed to important positions, and more than 20,000 soldiers participated in the rebellion.

This data is shocking, and it symbolizes the horror of civil strife!

"Commander-in-chief. A civil official came out and said in a deep voice: "The minister wants to impeach the commander of the army Wasp, the wasps will harass the people, kill the servants of the gods, burn down the temple without permission, and offend the power of heaven, and the minister will also impeach Xuanyuan Jing, Xuanyuan Jing falsely preached the will of my king, ordered the private destruction of temples in various places, and arrested the bishop, this is a disaster for the kingdom, the gods will definitely condemn us, the people are angry, please the commander severely punish the murderers, order the release of the bishop, reopen the temple, re-establish the temple, and restore the peace of the kingdom." ”

"Minister, seconded. ”

Several civil servants were listed.

Ye Gucheng smiled coldly and said indifferently: "Come on, push them all out, and behead them on the spot." ”

The palace guard stepped inside.

"Commander, the minister is wronged, and the minister does not know what crime he has committed. Several civil officials were shocked and struggled to cry out for grievances.

Soon, the screams resounded throughout the hall, and the atmosphere stiffened for a while.

"Who else? Who else wants to intercede for the people in the temple, so stand up. Ye Gucheng's eyes were cold, he glanced around, and roared, "Who else?"

The courtiers had different expressions, their eyes drooping, and none of them dared to say anything.

"The temple, you worship it as a god, and you flock to it, but for the kingdom, it is a cancer, Guangcheng has fallen, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and subjects have been killed and wounded, whose masterpiece do you think it is?"

"You don't know, you don't know anything, you are in the court, you are in a privileged place, can you know the pain of people being displaced?"

"Temple, use the blood and sweat of the people of my kingdom, collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, do not worship the gods, interfere in national affairs beyond their authority, infiltrate the army with their minions, reveal the kingdom's military deployment to the enemy, the battle of Guangcheng, and secretly collaborate with the enemy to assassinate many generals of our army, so that Guangcheng fell, do you know this?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

"Speaking of which, fortunately, I am blessed by the gods and blessed me with the true goddess of the kingdom!" Speaking of this, Ye Gucheng said angrily: "If it weren't for Li Yue'er deducing what the temple did, Ben Shuai would still be in the dark, this expedition, it was also Li Yue'er who accompanied him to deduce that there would be civil strife in the kingdom, and the temple sent a golden regiment with the intention of causing trouble to the kingdom, Ben Shuai then turned back to the capital, and let the wasps secretly fortify on the Tongshen Road, otherwise, I am afraid that the temple will succeed in its treacherous plan, and the kingdom will never have peace." ”

These words are mysterious and full of loopholes, but many courtiers really believe it!

"I didn't expect Li Yue'er to be the spokesperson of the gods. ”

"The temple is really hateful, and it actually used the oracle to stir up the morale of the army and destroy my kingdom. ”

"God bless, the kingdom is safe!"

The courtiers immediately talked about it.

Of course, there are also some courtiers who have strange expressions, they know the truth very well, and they know even more that Ye Gucheng's move is to whitewash Li Yue'er, and they are very familiar and remain silent.

Ye Gucheng was very satisfied with the current situation, and slowly looked to the side and said, "Zhang Yi." ”

"The minister is here!"

"Inform the whole country of the evil deeds of the pseudo-gods of the temple, of course, Li Yue'er's feat of saving the country and saving the people must also be known to the people. ”

"Yes!"

"Then inform the people that from now on, those who complain about the temple will be regarded as a rebel party, and there will be no forgiveness for killing, and the people in the temple and the rebel ministers will be sentenced to death in the royal capital in three days, and the criminals who have not had time to rush to the royal capital will be killed on the spot. Ye Gucheng's eyes were cold.

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and saw that Ye Gucheng looked unkind, so he hurriedly agreed.

"Retreat from the court!" Ye Gucheng waved his hand and directly ended the court discussion.

Side hall, the door of the hall was closed, and the palace guards retreated ten meters away, obviously, after the last incident, Ye Gucheng didn't want anyone to hear the content of the hall again.

"The temple plots treason against the country, and its heart can be punished, but how to punish the crime, there must always be a rule, not a pot without saying a word. If the subjects break the law, they still pay attention to real evidence, let alone the temple! If there is no real evidence of the crime in front of the subjects, how can they convince the people?" Zhang Yi faced Ye Gucheng alone, and did not hide the unhappiness in his heart.

"Go on, Ben Shuai knows that you have been holding back for a long time, don't vomit or be unhappy, simply, say it all. ”

"The commander doesn't like it, and Zhang Yi wants to say it. Zhang Yi was anxious when he thought of the imminent situation in the kingdom, and said in a deep voice: "The courtiers do not refute, not because they believe in the words of the commander, but because they are afraid of the commander's butcher's knife. ”

"You are fearless!" Ye Gucheng became more and more disgusted with Zhang Yi's pedantry.

But the minister is even more afraid that the kingdom will be destroyed in the near future. ”

Zhang Yi 。。。。。。 ”

"Commander-in-chief. Zhang Yi bowed his head abruptly and said sadly: "The kingdom cannot be without a temple! That is the faith of the world, the temple where the gods bless the world from disaster." The commander does not want the divine power to override the royal power, and the commander can abolish the divine power, but he must not destroy the temple, otherwise, the subjects will lose their faith, and the gods will no longer bless the world, and natural and man-made disasters will not exist, and at that time, the kingdom will no longer exist, Commander!"

"Wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows, this truth, Zhang Yi, do you understand?" Ye Gucheng couldn't have imagined that until now, his most relied on right-hand man was still interceding for the temple, and he was trembling with anger.

"The minister understands the commander's concerns, but this is also impatient, you have to take your time, now there is a group of weak bishops left in the temple, the kingdom can be easily controlled, the minister implores the commander to put the kingdom first, release the people in the temple!" Zhang Yi seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "As for the notice, the minister has thought about it, just show that the people who disturb the country are the sect leader and priests and others, and they will be pardoned for their sins when they think of other people being connected for no reason, so that the majesty of the commander will not be damaged, and he can also obtain the reputation of benevolence and love, the subjects will be convinced, and the kingdom will not have to worry about it." ”

"Then, rebuild the shrine and kill the wasps to reassure the people, yes or no?" Ye Gucheng was furious, but his expression was unusually calm.

"It is the duty of the ministers to share the worries of the Lord, this is the glory of the wasp, if necessary, the ministers can also use the head to serve the country. ”

"Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi! Ben Shuai thinks it's time for you to take a good rest!" Ye Gucheng was disappointed.

"Commander-in-chief ... Zhang Yi's heart was sour.

"Go ahead! Just in your room, take a good look at that wall, think carefully, think carefully, think clearly, come out again, don't come out if you can't think clearly! As for the affairs in your hands, I will arrange for others to take over temporarily, go!" Ye Gucheng is tired, really tired!

"Commander Xie!" Zhang Yi slammed on the ground and said with tears streaming down his face: "Take care of the commander!"

Ye Gucheng looked at the back that was slowly leaving, and his hand became tighter and tighter.

Taihe Temple.

Several servants stood with end plates in their hands, on which were placed pieces of armor and, of course, some blades.

Li Yue'er saw that Li Yueli put the last weapon on it, and couldn't help but wonder: "Sister, why don't you even want a sword? Don't you usually like this sword very much?"

Li Yueli smiled bitterly and said softly: "My sister has always thought that I like to dance with knives and guns, but in fact, no, my sister never wants to see these things again." ”

"Oh!" For some reason, Li Yue'er could feel that Li Yueli was very unhappy.

Ye Gucheng heard these words as soon as he stepped into the Taihe Palace, and the smile that he had forcibly held up gradually dissipated.

Li Yueli glanced at Ye Gucheng indifferently, and said to the slave: "Take it and bury it." ”

"Yes!" the slaves walked away.

"Yue'er, you go play by yourself first! Brother-in-law has something to tell your sister. ”

"Oh!" Li Yue'er retreated obediently.

In the room, there are only two figures left.

"I'm sorry!" Ye Gucheng didn't know what kind of mentality he was saying this, but when he looked at the isolated back in front of him, the sadness, heart, and pain emanating from his weak body were terrible.

"That day, I stood on the ** door, I saw my younger brother holding my brother's corpse and crying bitterly, I also saw my father looking for his son in the corpse, and then, holding his son's corpse and killing himself in grief! At that time, Yueli's ears echoed the most, why! Why! Then, Yueli also began to ask herself, why?" Li Yueli's eyes were extremely red.

Ye Gucheng didn't answer, perhaps, he didn't know how to answer.

"They are all soldiers of the kingdom, very ordinary soldiers, if there is no civil strife, they may be like us, happy, father and son filial piety! Yueli thought for a long time, but Yueli just couldn't understand, husband, can you tell me?" Li Yueli finally looked at Ye Gucheng.

Ye Gucheng still remained still, not even moving half a minute, but in the depths of his eyes, a trace of pain inadvertently crossed.

"Quelling the chaos, does it have to be like this? Didn't the husband already know who the culprits were, wouldn't you just drag them all to be killed? Why do you want to let them sit big? Why let the innocent soldiers die in vain? Why let their fathers and sons kill each other and brothers kill each other? Yueli doesn't blame her husband for not trusting her, but Yueli really doesn't like Hongchen having a cold-blooded and ruthless father, husband, didn't you promise me not to kill people indiscriminately?" Li Yueli's tears finally couldn't help but fall.

Ye Gucheng was silent as always, now this situation was beyond his expectations, according to his plan, Li Yueli should hide in the secret room, these bloody scenes should not be seen!

He gradually understood why he was destined to be lonely as a king throughout the ages! He didn't want to be such a person, but for the sake of his beloved woman to live safely and steadily in the future, and for his son to be able to rule the country easily, he could only become such a person!

Li Yueli was desperate, she had been waiting for Ye Gucheng's response, even if it was an excuse for her to deceive herself, but such a simple extravagant hope could not be realized. "Yueli is not feeling well, she can't sleep tonight, please forgive me. ”

Ye Gucheng looked at the woman who bowed and saluted blankly, and the hand that was subconsciously stretched out stiffened, and then, his fists were clenched, he turned around suddenly, and said calmly: "That is the case, the lady rested earlier, and she was entangled in her husband's official business, so she would deal with official business first, and then come to visit later." ”

Li Yueli slowly raised her head and looked at the distant back, her eyes were hazy with tears.
