Chapter 109: National Disaster
From the present days to go up a few hundred years, probably the father of the emperor of the father of the emperor's generation, at that time the territory of Da Yin was far larger than now, the northwest border line was far wider than now, that place was rich in all kinds of ore and coal mines, but it was a pity that the king of Yin at that time did not act, weak and easy to compromise, the ethnic minorities in the northwest and southwest were brave and good at fighting, and they had some new things that could make people addicted to sinking, at that time, those ethnic minorities with these things that did not enter the stream, opened the door of Da Yin, relaxed Da Yin's vigilance, coupled with the fact that King Yin was a big country with no ability, and finally ended up ceding land to survive.
The best resources were divided, the borders shrank and shrunk, and it was the day of mid-July that King Yin signed the most humiliating and last treaty with the leaders of the ethnic minorities to cede land.
Later generations also designated this day as the national memorial day.
But fortunately, King Yin of that generation was still a person who could see the situation clearly, knowing that Da Yin was ruined in his own hands, and when he was decided, he abdicated and gave up his throne to the prince.
The prince is a ruthless man, he can't stand this nest of anger, and in the end, although he recovered some land, the most precious piece could not be recovered in any case, that is, the most mineral resource in the northwest.
This is a piece of heart that the prince who was ordered to be in danger did not solve until his death.
And that day is set as the national memorial day, and every year by King Yin to sacrifice to the sky, is to let future generations not forget the national shame and take history as a mirror.
But obviously, Baili Jin Yang has repeated the mistakes of that year, and the situation seems to be even more tragic than then.
At that time, there was only external trouble, and the whole of Dayin was united and united with the outside world, from the puppet to the king, all of them were twisted into a rope. But now it is an internal worry, and there is always the possibility of developing external troubles, the king does not act, and the people are not happy.
Mu Shuning turned around and looked at Yan Qingshi: "This time, if everything goes well, I will go back to Jingqiong Mountain." ”
Yan Qingshi was stunned for a moment, and then his smile bloomed little by little, from small to big: "Okay." ”
-
In the scorching heat of July, the Son of Heaven had to wear complicated dresses and step by step up the hundred steps of the altar.
Mu Shuning, Luo Zhu and Yan Qingshi stood in the distance, all looking at Baili Jin Yang silently.
Wu Moyu was too hot and panicked, so he stayed in the inn and didn't come out. Luo Zhu wished that he wouldn't come over and make trouble, and when he followed Mu Shuning and Yan Qing, his face was relaxed.
When the scorching sun was in the sky, a black figure stood in the center of the crowd, it was Baili Jin Yang. Others are middle-aged, but they are like twilight years, and the whole person is full of death from beginning to end.
Mu Shuning was a little annoyed, he used to watch this scene, and he had been watching it for more than 30 years, from Baili Bi, to Baili Jinyang, from giving him his life, to the person who took his life.
The last thirty years of his long life were all given to this father and son.
It can be regarded as repaying the life-saving grace of the year.
Bai Li Cong is not sensible, although he is not young, but I don't know if it is influenced by his father, he can't write, Wu is barely okay. At this moment, he cowered behind the eunuch who was in charge of guarding him, looking timidly and cowardly at the people around him.
Mu Shuning sighed, it can't be the climate.
Da Yin respects black, and the three layers of Baili Jin Yangli are wearing the worship clothes of the Son of Heaven on the outside three layers, and the golden dragon is entrenched in the middle of his chest, and his eyes are majestic.
In this hot and dry weather, Yang Khan almost wet his dress, but he could only endure it, step by step on the hundred steps, and finally stand in the center of the altar to worship the sky.
He repeated this for more than ten years, but when the mood was so bleak, it was only this time.
He knew that Da Yin was no longer his Da Yin, and since Mu Shuning's death, he seemed to have lost control of the court. The royal power deviated little by little, and his throne was also like sitting on pins and needles.
When Baili Jin Yang reached the forty-second step, he suddenly felt dizzy in his mind, he stopped and stood on the steps for a while.
In just that moment, a lot passed through his mind.
He misses the national teacher a little bit.
The national teacher is a rare genius in Da Yin in the past few decades, and with the national teacher here, he feels that he is quite easy no matter what he does.
Moreover, the national teacher is still the father-in-law he once relied on and trusted the most. At that time, he was most attached to the fact that after he finished class, he ran all the way, and then plunged his head into his father-in-law's arms, listened to his father's gentle laughter, and soft voice, and kindly asked him what he had learned.
It was the most anticipated time of the day.
It's just that why did the stepfather suddenly change later?
Become mercenary, become ......
Baili Jin Yang suddenly flashed a person in his mind, Chu Yuqing, it seems that there is such a person? Back then, Chu Xianshi came from Jingqiong, and kindly calculated a hexagram for him, and calculated it to Mu Shuning, which was a great omen, which was almost completely consistent with his conjecture in recent years, and finally he listened to Chu Xianshi's words, and did not leave any affection, and directly killed Mu Shuning.
To be honest, he kind of regretted it.
Leaving Mu Shuning, he felt as if everything was out of his control.
He really regretted it.
Baili Jin Yang felt that his situation was a little better, he settled down and took another step forward.
But when he stopped just now, he couldn't help but start thinking crankily in his mind.
He has always known that he is not the material to be the king of Yin, maybe his royal brother is really capable, so why is he so obsessed with the throne for so many years?
He thought he could give his people a stable home, but he couldn't, and he made a mess and ruined the family inheritance handed down from his ancestors.
Baili Jin Yang stepped on the last step, he braved the scorching sun and looked down.
Around the altar were neatly kneeling, for this terrible royal power, for this ridiculous true dragon emperor, for this national sacrifice.
Baili Jin Yang took a deep breath, there was no one around the altar, he stood tallest, and suddenly felt that he could see everything clearly.
In the distance, Luo Zhu kept staring at Baili Jinyang's movements, and he was a little anxious: "Shu Ning, didn't you say that His Highness will definitely make a move today?" ”
Mu Shuning stared at a hidden corner in the distance, then looked away and said, "Don't worry. ”
Luo Zhu was patient and continued to watch Baili Jinyang's movements.
But Baili Jin Yang was just about to sing a congratulatory speech, and suddenly shot a cold arrow from a distance, Baili Jin Yang sensed the danger, his face changed greatly, and he wanted to dodge sideways, but this dress was too much of a hindrance, he was not quick to move, and he was shot by that arrow all of a sudden, and his sleeve was penetrated and nailed to the ground.
Baili Jin Yang was shocked and angry, and tore his sleeves in a panic, he was full of embarrassment, and was just about to stand up, when another feather arrow was shot, and in an instant Baili Jin Yang's arm was cut through a layer of skin, he was furious, and wanted to call someone to escort him, but he sadly found that the altar was so high, and when the escort came up, he was already about to be shot into a sieve.
But luckily and luckily, after the ambusher shot the first arrow, he couldn't shoot any more arrows because he had already exposed his position. But this man shot the second arrow, and the fast-moving guards below had already found a target to deal with the ambushers.
It's sad that Baili Jin Yang was a live target on such a high altar.
On National Day no one is allowed to bring weapons except for the imperial guards.
But as soon as the second arrow came out, the outermost layer of people kneeling neatly suddenly all peeled off their coats, revealing the fine iron armor inside, and they shouted slogans in unison, and took out the folded spear close to their bodies - this is a weapon that Baili Jiyue has painstakingly studied for months, rebuilding and improving the prototype of the spear, and the military department has even begun to build it on the day the drawings came out.
This spear is made of harder, sharper and more unstoppable materials, and is more convenient to carry and more discreet.
The elite soldiers roared and shrunk the circle, and there was a mess under the altar.
Baili Jin Yang's eyes were cracking.
He was prostrate on the ground in embarrassment, and he had no majesty as a king.
Although the people on the bystanders were frightened, they also knew that His Royal Highness King An had finally made a move, and they all had a sense of relief.
There is hope for the country, and it is best to oust Baili Jinyang, a faint monarch.
But a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, even if he is mediocre in Baili Jinyang, there are people who follow him.
His two cronies rushed to the altar as fast as they could, protected Baili Jin Yang, and hugged him down.
The group of people who were barely respectful to Baili Jinyang at the beginning saw that the situation had changed sharply at this moment, and they didn't know who shouted: "King Dog Yin is running away!" ”
On weekdays, the people were forced by Baili Jin Yang, and at this moment the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, they didn't know where they got the courage, and they all ran over to the altar, trying to give that Baili Jin Yang a dismount.
But the Son of Heaven is also the Son of Heaven in the end, how can they be allowed to infringe.
The guards made efforts one after another, showing the long knives in their hands, where had the ordinary people seen this kind of scene, they retreated one after another, and the guards also played a little deterrent effect.
In the end, Baili Jin Yang finally got off the altar safely under the protection of two cronies.
Seeing Baili Jin Yang coming, all those soldiers stopped, and at this moment, one person calmly walked out of the crowd.
The man bowed, "Your Majesty." ”
Baili Jin Yang's face was covered by the crown, and he only looked at the man gloomily, without saying a word, his lips pursed, as if he had endured it to the extreme.
This man is the general of the country, Wei Kang.
But now it is obvious that he is leading this group of people and surrounding King Yin.
Wei Kang is undoubtedly already a person from Baili Jiyue, which proves even more that Baili Jinyang has long been a puppet that has been hollowed out, with nothing, just a name to hold on.
Suddenly, Baili Jin Yang sneered, raised his hand and motioned for the two cronies beside him to retreat first.
Although the two looked a little hesitant, they also quietly retreated, and finally completely drowned in the crowd.
Mu Shuning had been staring carefully at the chaotic but strange and orderly scene under the altar, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
And Luo Zhu looked at the confrontation scene below, a little impatient. His eyes have been looking hard in the field, looking for Baili Jiyue, but unfortunately Baili Jiyue did not give Luo Zhu this face, and he never showed up.
Mu Shuning's back suddenly straightened, and there was a bit of eagerness in his voice: "No, this is not Baili Jinyang now!" ”
Luo Zhu was stunned: "What did you say?" ”
