Chapter 358: Branches
For two days in a row, Yan Liqiang's mood was not very good, and the news he knew from the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm, especially the words that Liu Guiyuan said to him, pressed on Yan Liqiang's heart like a stone.
Four years later, the Great Han Empire was full of smoke, and the jackals and beasts surrounding this huge empire all chose to pounce on this empire when it was at its most chaotic and weak, and opened their bloody mouths one by one, wanting to bite and devour this huge empire.
In the past history, there have been many races and empires annihilated in the long stream and smoke of history, Yan Liqiang does not feel strange about this, and what really worries Yan Liqiang is that from all kinds of signs, Lin Qingtian may have known about the occurrence of the catastrophe, and many of the things he did were without a trace in preparation for taking over the Han Empire after the catastrophe.
The Fengyun Army is the strongest legion of the Han Empire, and Lin Qingtian used the power of the Heavenly Tribulation and the Brake Man to completely crush and defeat the most powerful legion of the Han Empire.
After the catastrophe, the Han Empire was leaderless, and there was chaos everywhere, and Lin Qingtian was in the midst of such chaos, and in the blink of an eye, he pulled out a terrifying and terrifying army, ready to take over the entire empire.
Yan Liqiang checked the newspapers and various news of the Han Empire in the past few years in the Sword God Sect, and found that the naval turmoil on the southeast coast of the Han Empire had always existed before, but it was not serious, those pirates had been robbing a little ship or something, and they were often chased by the sailors of the Han Empire like lost dogs, and it was in the last three or four years that those pirates suddenly began to be unscrupulous as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the momentum became louder and louder。
When those pirates were unscrupulous, what about the sailors of the Han Empire who chased those pirates to the point of scattering?
In February of the 14th year of Yuanping of the Han Empire, that is, in February of the real world next year, Zheng Huai'an, the commander of the southeast naval division who was sitting on the southeast coast of the Han Empire, was involved in the so-called "empty salary case".
In this prison, Zheng Huai'an, the commander of the southeast naval division of the Han Empire, and more than 30 generals of the naval division were put into prison, and the high-level of the southeast naval division of the entire Han Empire were almost cleaned, and then Lin Qingtian appointed a new commander of the southeast naval division, and the new naval commander was in place, so he made a huge adjustment to the entire naval division, and also made a big fanfare to investigate Zheng Huai'an's remaining party.
Then only two months after Zheng Huaian and others were imprisoned, those pirates and bandits who were originally scattered suddenly condensed into several groups of people and began to make a fuss, so Lin Qingtian proposed to open militia groups in various counties in the southeast to prevent pirates and levy groups......
And Shi Tao, the Anbei general who almost personally cut off the Fengyun Army, is also Lin Qingtian's person.
Lin Qingtian summoned the backbone of Long Feicheng and the Fengyun Army to the imperial capital, and these people died in the tribulation at once, and Lin Qingtian himself, the person who should have died in the heavenly tribulation, suddenly left the imperial capital to inspect the water conservancy of the Huai River before the catastrophe happened, and escaped the catastrophe at once......
All of this is as if there is an invisible hand at its disposal.
Liu Guiyuan suspected that those pirates on the southeast coast suddenly made a fuss, and there must be someone behind them who instigated and connived.
And the pirate uproar created the conditions for Lin Qingtian's solution of running militia groups in various parts of the southeastern coastal states.
Those militia groups that had consumed a large amount of people's fat and ointment in the Han Empire and had been trained for two or three years, at this time, they became regular soldiers when they changed their clothes, and suddenly became a trump card in Lin Qingtian's hands that could sweep the world.
And the reason why Shi Tao, the general of Anbei, became a traitor and took refuge in the Shaman people, there is another possibility, that is, because Shi Tao knew that after he did those things and cut off the back road of the Fengyun Army, in the Han Empire, he had only a dead end, and he would become a scapegoat, and only by taking refuge in the Shaman people could he live, save his life and glory and wealth, and the reason why Shi Tao knew that the things he did could make him irreversible but still did it, there was only one explanation, if he didn't do those things, he would soon be unable to save his life......
These things that will happen in the future, once interpreted and observed from another angle, can instantly make people shudder.
One thing may be a coincidence, but so many things are happening according to the same logic, it can never be a coincidence, but a premeditation.
A few months ago, when he knew that the catastrophe was going to happen, Yan Liqiang was thinking about how to keep himself alive, save more people after four years, and avoid the disaster, but at this moment, Yan Liqiang suddenly found that behind the catastrophe, there are so many complicated things and backgrounds, and he may have to face a character who is not at all what he can fight against at this moment, and that character, like him, may have known about the occurrence of the catastrophe in advance, and he will also use the catastrophe to step on the bones of hundreds of millions of people and sit on the throne of this huge empire。
All of a sudden, Yan Liqiang's head was several times bigger.
The worries and depression in his heart, unable to tell anyone, Yan Liqiang could only devote all his energy to cultivation, so that he could forget these things for a while.
But a lot of times, if you don't look for things, many things will come to you.
A week after His Majesty the Emperor left Luyuan, that is, on the evening of July 25th, Yan Liqiang, who had just finished cultivating, was blocked by Xiao Lizi halfway, saying that Gonggong Liu had something important to look for him.
"I don't know what my father-in-law is looking for me, so anxious?" Yan Liqiang, who saw Father-in-law Liu, found that Father-in-law Liu frowned, and there was a faint look of anger on his face, so he took the initiative to speak.
"Liqiang, do you remember that a few days ago, His Majesty the Emperor asked you to do the matter of the Eastern Palace Prince's Bow Dao Teaching?" Liu Gonggong took a deep breath and asked.
"Remember, didn't my father-in-law say last time that I would be able to go to the palace to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince until August 1, and then I could officially perform my duties?"
"Something has changed now!"
"What's going on?"
"In the past few days, countless ministers in the court have been writing, saying that the choice of the prince's archery teaching is not only a family affair of His Majesty, but also a state affair......
Nima's, Yan Liqiang scolded in his heart, but he still asked patiently, "Then what does Your Majesty mean?"
"Of course, Your Majesty is very angry and disagrees, and now this matter is in a stalemate, and just today, Prime Minister Lin Qingtian made a suggestion, saying that you should have a competition with the people recommended by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the winner will be able to do the bow practice of the prince of the East Palace, Your Majesty did not agree, saying that you should consider it, Your Majesty wants to ask you what you think now, do you dare to have a competition with those people recommended by the ministers of the DPRK and China?"
Yan Liqiang's eyes narrowed suddenly, "What is the competition?
