back garden,

the inner sanctum;

All around, doors and windows were closed, and black drapes hung all over them, blocking most of the sunlight.

Inside, the furnishings are simple, and it looks very empty;

"Squeak......

The door was opened from the outside, and a palace maid walked in with a brocade box.

As soon as you come in,

The palace maid felt a biting chill;

It's not because there is no charcoal pot in this hall, but more, it comes from psychological pressure, which makes people uncontrollable in their hearts.

She walked forward,

Try not to make the slightest sound.

At this time, behind a black curtain, half a figure walked out, it was Wei Zhonghe.

Wei Zhonghe stretched out his hand,

The palace maid handed over the brocade box.

forthwith

Wei Zhonghe turned around,

The maid of the palace also turned around,

one, to the darker depths;

One, after walking outside the temple gate, it was like the rest of his life.

……

"Your Majesty."

Wei Zhonghe opened the brocade box, and inside, a silver pill was quietly placed.

Emperor Yan is not lying, nor is he dying,

He sat in a chair,

The expression is solemn;

He didn't look like an old man, but there was already a smell of lights and candles going out all around him.

Emperor Yan stretched out his hand,

The movements are very slow,

He put this silver pill in front of his eyes,

mouth

With a touch of self-deprecation.

"Wei Zhonghe."

"The minions are here."

"You say, if people outside saw this, how would they describe me?"

"Slaves don't dare to speculate."

"Hehe, they will say that the emperor of Dayan, when he was young, no matter how he governed his martial arts, at the end of the day, he was still the same as those dying emperors in the history books;

Obsessed with asking for immortals and asking for medicine,

In vain trying to use the power of the pill to continue his life,

scold

to pursue,

The ethereal,

Eternal life. ”

Wei Zhonghe didn't dare to interject.

Emperor Yan pinched the pill in his hand and looked it up and down carefully.

"I have long known that there is no immortality in this world.

Cultivators, such as alchemists, such as qi refiners, who have cultivated to a certain level, can indeed be in Shouyuan, much more than ordinary people;

But that kind of retreat at every turn, retreat in the cave at every turn, practice on the mountain,

Fifty years of practice, not eating the fireworks of the world, nothing more than 50 years longer than ordinary people;

Such an 'immortality',

You said

In the end, it's a loss,

Or earned? ”

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that it is better to live a little tighter, if it is too long, it will be too empty, too empty, too light, too light, and tasteless."

Wei Zhonghe is a qi refiner and a master, and he once came to the door alone and blocked the Baili Sword;

On the way to refining qi, he has his own opinions.

Of course

The insight of the minion,

He followed his master.

"Taking pills is the same as taking poison......... Even I didn't expect that I would have this day. ”

"Your Majesty........."

Your Majesty must be blessed with such words, Wei Zhonghe can't say it now.

The supreme in front of him, even at this time, has been relying on the pill to maintain daily clarity, even if his physical condition has deteriorated to a very outrageous situation, he still does not allow himself to rest.

He said that as a monarch, he can die, but he can't be confused, and he can't lie on the sickbed, hanging but not dying.

"I, if I live for a day, I will be an emperor for a day, but I can't, I can't go on in a mess."

Speaking of which,

Emperor Yan smiled,

"Hehe, the one in the Chu country, on the sickbed, has been lying down for several years, what is delayed, it is the hour of his son, it is the hour of his Chu country.

Ahem............ Ahem............"

Emperor Yan began to cough violently.

Wei Zhonghe immediately stretched out his hand, stroked his back, and then helped him with his breath.

It's just that the breath he put in it is nothing more than a slight mild effect, because the meridians in Emperor Yan's body have been blocked and aged to the point where they don't look good.

"Those letters, the proposed reduction of the reward or the suspension of the reward, annotation: the three sergeants, meritorious generals, rewards, not the slightest harsh."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yan Huang's breathing began to become heavy,

"Some people's eyes can only stare at their feet, they can only stare in front of them, but they really can't see far, the court, the country, it is difficult now, and next year, it will be even more difficult;

But the more this time,

Soldiers and horses from all walks of life, military towns,

The more you can't mess around.

If you win the battle, you must be rewarded;

The military towns of all walks of life are not chaotic,

In this world,

After two years,

It's messy again,

It's not going to be messy.

These words,

And he said to the prince,

To Cheng Jue, he also said. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minion has written it down."

"Tell them that where they should be saved, they can be saved, and where they shouldn't, they can save a point, it's stupid."

"Yes."

"Ahem............ Ahem............"

"Your Majesty........."

Emperor Yan was unmoved, and continued to stare at the pill he was holding in his hand.

At last

sighed,

Close your eyes,

Open your mouth,

Take it down.

The process of swallowing was very painful, and Emperor Yan sat there, his neck raised, and his muscles were exposed.

"Huh......... Sigh............"

A hoarse voice came out of his throat.

Long

Danmaru was finally taken.

Emperor Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, and on his forehead, beads of sweat already appeared.

meantime

There is also a burst of hot and dry breath;

This is when the effect of the pill begins to work.

This pill cannot continue life, and it is not the same thing as the pill that was refined for Emperor Yan when the master was there to replenish blood and qi.

This is poison,

but can force himself to lift the poison of the spirit;

Even if taking this will ruin his last bit of longevity, at least he can ensure that he will still be awake when he is alive.

Shaoqing,

Yan Huang stood up.

Wei Zhonghe stepped forward and helped take off his outer robe.

"Spread the map of the mountains and rivers of Daxia."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Under the command of Wei Zhonghe,

Seven or eight eunuchs came with a thick roll and spread it on the ground;

forthwith

More than a dozen palace maids came in and lit lamps and candles.

Emperor Yan, who was only wearing a black robe, stood there, watching the mountains and rivers of Great Xia slowly spread out under his feet.

forthwith

A group of eunuchs and palace maids withdrew.

Emperor Yan's feet stepped on the map of mountains and rivers, and the position where he stood was Yanjing City.

"Zhennan Pass has been taken, although the snow field has never been completely cleared, but without the wild man of the savage king, there is no big wave;

The regent of the Chu State does have the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, but if he wants to pick up the Chu State again, it will not be possible in three years and five years.

The Qianren relied on the three sides to prevent the iron cavalry from going south, but they failed to completely kill the Qianguo at the earliest, and now, they can continue to stay.

The world thinks that I, in the future, will immediately set my sights on the dry people and attack the dry people.

No

They were wrong,

They couldn't be more wrong.

Qianguo,

It's the meat in my Dayan's mouth, I, I can put it aside for the time being and don't eat it;

What I'm going to do,

It is to gnaw off the thorny and bone-bearing things first.

So

is the next successor,

No matter how bad the mouth is, it can be swallowed slowly. ”

Saying,

Emperor Yan set his eyes on the west,

Fell on the desert,

He walked over quickly, and his feet stepped on the west side of Beifeng County:

"The barbarian princess, married into my Ji family as a daughter-in-law, the little prince of the barbarians, respects me as an uncle;

Those people said,

Barbarians,

Don't be polite,

For the sake of profit, for the sake of the present, you can take out everything and sell it;

Fools,

Darn!

Barbarian royal court,

It's a big picture!

The more stubborn the front, the more respectful the back, that old thing, is paving the way for his son, the old thing has been preparing for most of his life, and its purpose is to reshape the glory of the barbarian royal court in the hands of his son.

Liang Ting's opinion, the same as me, the barbarian sharpened their knives, although they would not move in the past five years, but after ten years, they would inevitably march eastward and offend my Zhuxia!

I

Can't give them a chance,

As the emperor of Dayan,

Absolutely not to the barbarians,

The slightest chance!

I

It is to unify the summers,

But this premise,

It's a barbarian,

Can't get into the edge! ”

It can be said that in the thirty years that the old barbarian king has become a barbarian king, there has hardly been any large-scale war between the barbarians and the Yan Kingdom.

But Emperor Yan never underestimated his old neighbor,

even

In my heart,

For this old neighbor, I recognize it very much.

A person who is willing to "do nothing" all his life, just to pave the way for the next generation, how terrible it is, can be imagined.

Most importantly,

Barbarians,

Never in decline,

It's still so powerful,

desert

It is still the best cradle for the birth of warriors and barbarians;

The debilitation of the barbarians,

It is the weakness of the royal court;

And once the royal court rises again,

In response,

The blood feud that had fought with Dayan a hundred years ago for an unknown number of generations will awaken again.

And Wei Zhonghe was a little stunned, although he was the closest person to the emperor, but he really just found out, it seems, there is still a war?

It seems to guess what Wei Zhonghe is thinking,

It seems clear that the government and the opposition will be the same as Wei Zhonghe;

Yan Huang said in a deep voice:

"I want to set an example for future generations, for the monarch, relying on not conspiracy, not small calculations, but the general trend, the general trend!

For the Monarch,

When every step of the way,

are all stepping on the general trend,

It's not to take advantage of the situation,

It's where you go,

Potential, where it arises. ”

Saying,

Emperor Yan's gaze was fixed on Wei Zhonghe.

Wei Zhonghe immediately knelt down,

Road;

"Minions understand."

You must not say these things to a third person.

Of course, this is the most superficial;

At a deeper level, the government and the opposition must monitor public opinion well, because some people can see the clues from some personnel transfers and material transfers, that is, wait and see where the wind is going.

It's just that the relationship between Dayan and the barbarians is actually better than that of the Qianguo and the Chu State.

Because when Dayan used troops against Qian, Jin, and Chu several times, the barbarians never had a single horseman, and they could be said to be extremely sensible.

If a war suddenly starts out in a hurry,

Morally,

It's really completely untenable.

"Tick ......... Tick ........."

A few drops of red, swinging on the map of mountains and rivers.

Yan Huang stretched out his hand and wiped the tip of his nose, the red stain on his palm.

But

Emperor Yan didn't care about this.

He just stared hard at his feet, at this "desert" under his feet.

"This infamy will be borne by me."

Emperor Yan raised his head slightly,

"While I'm still alive, I'm not dead."
