After the first letter of persuasion was presented, the whole god was agitated.

What was originally an undercurrent hidden in the deep sea suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, setting off a huge storm.

For a time, the civil and military officials in this divine capital, the county magistrates in various places, and even many generals and generals in the Liang army, and the officials inside and outside the Liang Dynasty, who had a copy of the book, all sent the book, asking Huan Wu to ascend to the position of the Supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

It's just that Huan Wu, who was in the center of the whirlpool, never said yes.

The starry night was low, and the door of Hanzhang Hall slowly opened, and it was a rickety old man who walked in.

This once the center of the Great Zhou Empire has been completely repaired after a destruction.

Huan Wu walked in, and by his side was Zhao Ye, an old friend who had worked with him for decades.

The stars arched over the moon, and Huan Wu walked into this hall step by step, looking at the high-arched imperial seat in the main hall. Since the founding of Taizu, the divine capital has been the eastern capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and this imperial seat has stood there, experiencing 800 years of wind and rain, witnessing the rise and fall of the empire.

More than forty years ago, Huan Wu was just a military captain, and he didn't even have the qualifications to enter the Hanzhang Palace.

More than thirty years ago, Huan Wu was already the head of a county, with a rank of 2,000 stones, but he could only watch the general who once frightened him go through his last life in a remote corner.

Until the collapse of Emperor Qi, the three auxiliary ministers quarreled over the choice of the emperor. Then the princes from all over the country entered the Shendu, and Yang Zhong, one of the three auxiliary ministers, led the army to retreat to Guanzhong, and then the Weishui War, the world was in chaos, and everything in the Great Zhou fell into disorder.

At that time, Huan Wu was also a prince who entered the Shendu, although there were only thousands of soldiers and horses, but his position was much higher than before. Although he still couldn't enter the core, Huan Wu could at least watch how the top princes such as Chen Shi, Duan Hui, and the Lu clan fought each other in front of the throne.

And now, with Zhao Ye's support, Huan Wu walked forward quietly, and when he reached a distance of ten steps from the emperor's throne, he suddenly stopped.

Zhao Ye was a little surprised, but he still lowered his head after all.

Looking at this emperor who was close at hand, the emotions in Huan Wu's heart were a little complicated. It wasn't the first time he had stood in this position, but he had never been so close to it.

Only one step away!

It can be said that it is easy for today's Huan Wu to take this step and ascend to this throne.

However, at this time, Huan Wu was hesitant.

"Yang You'an was only one step away from this position at the beginning, why didn't he sit on it?"

A question rang out in this temple.

Zhao Ye raised his head and arched his hand.

"Forty years ago, people's hearts were around. Even though Yang You'an holds the world's soldiers and horses and is in charge of the world's major politics, he is in the name of the Son of Heaven after all. If he ascends to the throne, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos in an instant, and the princes from all walks of life will be king one after another, and the turmoil will be worse than the Weishui War. ”

Zhao Ye's answer was very standard, but it was not what Huan Wu wanted.

"Marquis Wenchang is a loyal minister of the Great Zhou, so naturally he will not spy on the throne."

Qingyue's voice came from the side, dressed in simple clothes, Xia Yunqi walked in from the side door with the support of a middle attendant, ascended to the throne, and stood in front of Huan Wu.

The Zhongchang attendant surnamed Fang next to Xia Yunqi is the same as Jian Changshi, and his qualifications are quite old. He followed behind Xia Yunqi and looked at Huan Wu, his face was quite guarded.

"Your Majesty!"

Huan Wu's old body repeated the movements of the past twenty years, and knelt down towards His Majesty in front of him.

Zhao Yeben was on the side, his movements were a beat slower, but he also knelt down. Although in Zhao Ye's opinion, at this time, everything Huan Wu did was no longer necessary.

"Get up!"

Xia Yunqi didn't embarrass Huan Wu, nor did he want to humiliate him, and said this softly, just like in the past twenty years.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

However, Huan Wu's body was old after all, and under Zhao Ye's support, his body trembled, and he could barely stand up.

"The old minister is useless, Your Majesty is smiling." Huan Wu said self-deprecatingly, like an old man in his twilight years, but his eyes were full of essence, "It's just that Your Majesty really thinks that Yang Ci is a loyal minister?" ”

"Zhao Zhaoqing has long been conclusive. What does Liang Hou think? ”

Xia Yunqi looked at Huan Wu condescendingly, she was over forty years old and still retained a girlish face. Just looked at Huan Wu's gaze, but it was quite calm, not at all like facing a traitor who was about to seize her throne.

"Yes! He was a loyal servant. ”

Huan Wu said weakly. As Xia Yunqi said, even Huan Wu is the most powerful overlord in the world at the moment, and he still can't change all this.

"But I'm not a traitor." Huan Wu spit out this sentence, as if he had let go of the big stone in his heart, "Whether Your Majesty believes it or not, more than 20 years ago, when I escorted Your Majesty back to the Divine Capital, I did not have the intention of usurping the throne, and I also had the idea of revitalizing Zhou. ”

"I know!"

The three short words that came out of Xia Yunqi's mouth made Huan Wu more painful than 10,000 knives piercing his heart.

Huan Wu's voice became agitated, and he raised his head and looked directly at Xia Yunqi.

"But Your Majesty still broke the minister's heart after all. Just after His Majesty entered the Shendu and sat on the throne, he couldn't wait to recruit Yang Zhong into Beijing. His Majesty is gifted and intelligent, benevolent and wise, and is a generation of heroes. If you join forces with your ministers, the world has been pacified more than ten years ago. But His Majesty chose Yang Zhong after all and betrayed the old minister. ”

In that year, Xia Yunqi ordered Yang Zhong to enter the Shendu Auxiliary Government, which was a sign of the break between the Xia clan and the Huan clan.

"There have always been only ministers in the world, how can there be kings and ministers?"

Fang Chang said on the side, there was no lack of murderous intent in his gloomy voice, but Huan Wu didn't pay attention to him.

"Let me ask, even if Yang Zhong did not die early, and really led his troops into the Divine Capital, then he can really do better than the ministers? How does Your Majesty know that the person sitting on this throne now is not surnamed Yang? Your Majesty, don't forget, in the Weishui War, Yang Zhong chose to save not Your Majesty, but Xia Yunhua, the king of Shu. ”

Huan Wu asked very nakedly, not at all like a courtier asking the king. His words were full of grievances. For so many years, Huan Wu has always wanted to ask Xia Yunqi for an answer.

And now, he has no scruples.

"I don't know if Da Sima had entered the Divine Capital back then, would he have done better than Liang Hou now? I don't know if Da Sima has mastered the government, who is sitting on this throne now? But what I know is that after Da Sima entered Shu, he swept away the evils, supported the imperial sister, supported the Xia family's Sheji, and did not have the idea of establishing a country and becoming a marquis until his death! Does Liang Hou think so? ”

Huan Wu listened to Xia Yunqi's words, and suddenly felt a little empty in his heart. He couldn't compare with Yang Zhong because Yang Zhong was already dead.

"So, because Yang Xian is the grandson of Yang Ci and the son of Yang Zhong, His Majesty trusts him?"
