A lot has happened in this past period!

And the most shocking thing is the revenge of the Fang system, the revenge of the emperor.

For more than a month, the decisive battle between the emperor and Fang Zhuo and Du Hui was completely victorious, and countless ministers defected one after another, the first assistant Fang Zhuo, the cabinet minister Du Hui, and all the troops of the Fang Department withdrew from the capital.

At that time, the entire imperial magnates were completely shocked, and they didn't understand why the Fang family did this, the Fang family was so powerful, why would they give in to the emperor?

But in this way, the giants of the empire no longer dared to face the emperor's edge, and the Marquis of Xuancheng also obediently led his army south, preparing to attack Li Ruhai and respond to the change.

In an instant, it was as if the imperial power had risen.

These ministers in the capital shouted long live.

Only the emperor did not dare to have the slightest optimism, but ordered the capital to enter a state of war readiness, and used cold and iron-blooded means to forcibly buy all the grain in the hands of the grain merchants with evaluation.

Not only that, but the emperor also ordered Princess Ning Xue to lead the army out to collect grain.

The Emperor was sensible, even wise, because he saw the means of revenge that the Fang family was about to take revenge.

Really......

Just a few days!

Shipping is cut off!

Fang's retaliatory method is to cut off food from the capital and completely blockade it!

The capital of the Daning Empire had a population of one million, and the daily consumption of grain was astronomical, and almost all the grain was not self-produced, and all of it was transported from outside.

Cao Yun and sea transportation are the main sources of grain in the capital.

At this time, Liaodong had not yet been greatly developed, and several provinces such as Hebei, Shandong, and Henan had suffered huge droughts and locust plagues in the past two years.

The main grain-producing area of the Daning Empire was in the south of the Yangtze River, and the north was up to Hubei, and further north were grain-deficient areas.

In particular, the grain in the capital is completely dependent on the supply of Jiangnan. Su Hu is ripe, the world is not a slogan, but a real existence.

Fang's retaliatory methods are vicious and effective.

His Royal Highness the Young Monarch was unwilling to rebel directly, and he was reluctant to smash the precious shell of the Daning Empire, so he came up with this desperate plan.

They used the millions of people in the capital as hostages to persecute the emperor. It was a different means of fighting, but it was more vicious.

That's why this young monarch ordered Fang Zhuo to complain of illness, Du Hui resigned as cabinet minister as governor of Zhejiang, and completely withdrew his army from the capital.

In short, Fang has one goal, to force the emperor to abdicate!

Change to an emperor who is easier to control, and then go through the process of doves occupying the magpie's nest and replacing it.

Fortunately, the emperor had already made preparations, and when the Fang system had not completely blockaded the capital, he used the army to directly buy all the grain merchants of the grain merchants, not only the grain merchants of the capital, but also the grain merchants of all the surrounding states and counties, all of which were forcibly bought.

In those days, all the grain merchants cursed the emperor every day.

Not only that, Princess Ning Xue also led the army to forcibly buy most of the grain stored in the landlord's house.

After the grain is thoroughly concentrated, it is distributed in absolute equality.

No matter how old you are, adult men have half a catty of food per day, and women and children have three taels of food per day. The army had eight taels of grain per person per day.

The emperor has four taels a day, the queen has three taels a day, and the prince has five taels of grain a day.

With such an equal distribution, the grain stock in the capital can last for more than half a year.

Therefore, although Fang's strategy is vicious, so far, there has been no chaos in the capital, and no one has starved to death.

For more than a month.

The emperor insisted on eating four taels of grain every day, and half a tael was not much, so he drank porridge at night.

The prince was also drinking porridge and said, "Father, our food can last for half a year, what will we do then?"

The emperor said: "This situation should have been predicted for a long time, I have never been optimistic, our struggle with the Fang family is a long-term process. As long as the army can eat enough and the people can barely feed themselves, the capital will not be in chaos. As for when the capital will be able to lift the blockade and turn the crisis into safety, it depends on Du Chang, when he will be able to exterminate Li Ruhai, and the blockade of the capital will be naturally resolved. ”

The prince said: "What if Du Bian loses?"

The emperor paused for a moment and said: "If Du Bian loses, then everything will return to its original position, the southwest of the empire will fall, and I, the emperor, will issue an edict and abdicate!"

At this time, the emperor's tone was already very flat.

Then the emperor said: "Pay attention to the cause and effect, the reason why we build momentum and create the appearance of the rise of imperial power is to deter those military leaders, and to make the two armies of Xuancheng Marquis and Jiange Marquis fight like a sea, and respond to changes." Now the effect is still okay, the Marquis of Xuancheng has already moved south and is about to enter the territory of Guangxi, and the army of the Marquis of Sword Pavilion has also moved, and there has even been a small-scale battle conflict with Li Ruhai. ”

And yet at this very moment!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the west side of the palace, followed by a fierce burst of flames, followed by a terrible shout of killing.

Just a moment later.

There was also a loud bang on the north side of your palace, and then flames rose into the sky.

Then there's the south side......

Suddenly, the emperor's body trembled violently, and his face turned pale.

The prince rushed out.

The entire capital was trembling, and the shouts of killing became stronger and louder.

Something happened in the granary, and there was an accident in the three major granaries!

At this time, there were more than 60,000 soldiers and horses loyal to the emperor in the capital, and more than 30,000 soldiers protecting these granaries.

However, something went wrong!

The emperor stood at the top of the palace and watched as the flames of the three granaries burned higher and higher.

Only half an hour later, the fighting ended.

Countless people are fighting the fire, not only the army, but also many civilians rushing out to pour water on the fire.

......

A few hours later.

Princess Ning Xue knelt in front of the emperor, her eyes were red, and her clothes were full of scorched marks.

"The enemy has infiltrated 3,000 people, perhaps originally lurking in the capital, a whole 3,000 death squads. Using a weapon completely unknown to us, he breached the high walls of the warehouse almost instantly, and then desperately fought against fire. ”

Speaking of this, Princess Ning Xue said in a hoarse voice: "I don't know why, those fires can't be extinguished at all, and it's useless to splash water, so they can only be buried with soil, and some flames are even useless to bury in the soil, everyone is desperately trying to put out the fire." All the armies, countless civilians are fighting the fire. ”

Of course, Princess Ning Xue didn't know that the flames that could not be extinguished were the fire of white phosphorus, as well as countless fire oils.

Speaking of which, Princess Ning Xue could hardly speak.

He took a deep breath and said, "All the enemy's three thousand death squads have been killed. Because of the firefighting, our army suffered thousands of casualties, and nearly 10,000 innocent people were killed or wounded!"

The emperor's body shook violently and said, "Grain...... How many are left?"

Princess Ning Xue said in a trembling voice: "Less than twenty percent!"

In other words, the grain that could have lasted for five months can now only last for a month.

At this time, Li Lianting stepped forward and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, more and more people in the capital have come to the palace, and they didn't speak, they just looked at the palace gate. ”

The prince said: "Father, you must not tell the people the truth, otherwise there will be riots." Erchen has a plan, transport the empty car out every day, then pile it up with sediment, and then bring it in during the day, and then load a bag that is accidentally broken, and spill yellow, orange and orange grain from it, so that all the people in the capital think that the grain is being transported every day, and there will be no food shortage crisis, and the capital will not be chaotic. ”

The Emperor smiled at the crown prince.

Taking a deep breath, the emperor walked towards the outside of the palace gate.

......

At this time, outside the palace gate, tens of thousands of people in the capital stood densely, and after seeing the emperor, they were stunned for a while, and then they all knelt down.

"Knock on Your Majesty!"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live......"

Then, all the people knelt on the ground, looking up at Emperor Tianyun, and not even a single one asked about the grain.

But all the people came here to wonder if they would survive and if they would have anything to eat.

"I know your intentions, I just want to know if the grain has burned out, if you still have food to eat, if you can still live, do you want to escape the famine?" said the emperor gently.

As soon as these words came out, the prince's face changed slightly, how could his father tell the people the truth?

As soon as these words came out, hundreds of people below began to cry.

"Don't go and run away from the famine, the whole north is not in a good situation, and they are all suffering from famine. If you run away, you'll die on the road. The emperor said: "There is grain in the south of the Yangtze River, but the transportation has been cut off, and the shipping has also been cut off, and the most greedy grain merchants dare not transport grain into the capital." You must all want to ask, how much food do we have left?"

Suddenly, everyone looked at the emperor, they just wanted to know the answer.

"A month. The emperor said: "We still have more than a month of grain, and if we do not resume transportation and sea transportation in a month, the capital will run out of food, and people will starve to death." ”

There was already a cry down there.

The emperor bowed down to countless people and said, "It is my incompetence that causes the people of the capital to suffer with me." But here I have two promises to tell you. ”

The Emperor continued: "In the past month, I have been cursed by countless grain merchants and landlords because I have bought their grain at a low price, and some of them have not even had money to give. But I am also proud that no one has starved to death in the capital in the past month. ”

Suddenly, hundreds of people below shouted long live, interrupting the emperor's words.

For a long time, the people in the capital were not impressed by the emperor, but within this month, countless people were grateful to the emperor.

Because the emperor distributed all the grain equally, even the poorest people in the capital did not starve to death.

The Emperor said, "So my first promise is that in the next month, all the grain will still be distributed equally. As long as I and the queen have food, the people of the capital will have food, and I promise not to eat one more grain than you. ”

Suddenly, countless people bowed down again and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”

The emperor said: "After that month, the grain is gone, but there is still no food in the capital, and it is still blocked, so what should I do?"

Countless people looked up at the emperor.

Then the emperor uttered a sentence that did not look like the emperor.

"Then I promise to die before you, and as soon as I die, food will come in. The Emperor said slowly.

Countless people cried in an instant, tears gushing out, and they tried their best to kowtow.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty's Holy Monarch, Your Majesty's Holy Monarch!"

At least at this moment, all the people in the capital will never forget Emperor Tianyun again.

When the emperor entered the palace, hundreds of people still knelt outside the palace gate and were unwilling to leave, crying desperately.

That night, more than a few thousand elderly people committed suicide!

There is only one reason, they feel that they are old, there is no need to waste food, and if they can save a little more food, they can renew a little more life for His Majesty the Emperor.

When the emperor heard the news, he wept silently for a long time.

......

Inside the Royal Palace.

The crown prince knelt in front of the emperor and wept, and kowtowed desperately: "Why is it here, why is it here?"

The emperor said: "They can not care about the lives of countless people in the capital, but I can't not care. When the day comes, I will follow their wishes, and I will cut myself off. And I also fought with them, and I won a fight, and I didn't die under the persecution of this ** minister. It is still glorious to die for the sake of countless people in the capital. ”

Then, the emperor slapped the table and said: "Moreover, I may not die! The Marquis of Jiange has already sent troops, and the Marquis of Xuancheng has also sent troops, doesn't the intelligence say that Du Chang's army has expanded very quickly, although it sounds very ridiculous to exterminate Li Ruhai in more than a month, but this miracle may not be able to be reversed." Once Li Ruhai is exterminated, the blockade of the capital will be self-defeating. ”

A month to exterminate as much as the sea?

How is it possible? Li Ruhai has an army of four or five hundred thousand, while Du Bian has only a few tens of thousands of troops.

Although the Marquis of Jiange and the Marquis of Xuancheng sent troops, it is very likely that they will not be able to contribute.

It is impossible to exterminate the sea in a month, and the sun will rise in the west.

The emperor said: "Li Lianting, have the entire Xuancheng Marquis clan been arrested?"

Li Lianting said: "It's caught." ”

The emperor said: "If the Marquis of Xuancheng dares to stop, if he dares to work and not contribute, his entire clan will be annihilated." ”

Li Lianting kowtowed: "Obey!"

At this time, Li Lianting's heart was extremely bitter, and he didn't even dare to tell the emperor that Du Bian had been missing for more than a month.

The emperor looked up at the sky outside and said to himself, "Is it really impossible to completely wipe out the Li Clan's Great Yan Kingdom in more than a month?"

......

Why does Du Bian only need to exterminate the Li clan, and the blockade of the capital will be self-defeating?

The ostensible reason is that once Li Ruhai is destroyed, Du Bian will dominate the entire southwest of the empire, if the Fang system does not untie the blockade of the capital, Du Bian will directly lead the army into the big granary of Hubei, and then forcibly use the army to open up the grain route to the capital.

But that will take a long time, it will be too late.

The real practical reason is that once Du Bian destroys the Li Clan, Du Bian will get the entire southwest land, and he will become strong and strong. At that time, even if the emperor died, the crown prince would have a huge power to rely on when he ascended the throne.

And the worst situation is that after the crown prince ascends the throne, he will hunt directly south to the southwest of the empire and enter Du Bian's territory, and it is very likely that Du Bian will coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, which will be greatly cheaper Du Bian.

Therefore, once Du Bian exterminates Li Ruhai in the southwest and becomes completely bigger, the biggest interest of the emperor's death will become Du Bian, and the Fang family will not do such a stupid thing.

Therefore, as long as Du Chang exterminates the sea, the blockade of the capital will be naturally resolved.

......

In the southwest of the empire, in a secret branch of the Holy Fire Cult.

Li Wanwan's beautiful eyes were cold and said: "Du Bian, you go to die, the ashes are gone, and the soul is scattered!"

Then Du Chang's body was violently thrown into the pale and terrifying hellfire.

In an instant, Du Chang's body was completely engulfed by the terrifying pale hellfire and disappeared.

It's exactly the same as before.

Du Chang seemed to disappear directly.

Li Wanwan pointed at the hellfire and shouted loudly at the thousands of Holy Fire Sect soldiers, "Did you see it?

"Du Yan was burned to ashes by the Hellfire, he is a false god. ”

"His so-called immortal body is a complete lie. ”

Suddenly, the expressions in the eyes of countless Holy Fire Sect soldiers gradually changed.

Du Yan really didn't lean over the god of fire, he was really burned to death by hell life.

Everything on the battlefield before that, was he really acting?

Suddenly, the impression of the countless Holy Fire Sect troops becoming holy and powerful shattered one after another.

Li Wanwan was overjoyed to see it, and then he only needed to perform one more trick, the trick of going deep into the white fire and immortality, she would be able to regain the faith and worship of all the Holy Fire Cult Troops, and she would become the supreme Fire Demon Saintess again.

Li Wanwan looked at the hellfire, and said secretly in her heart: "Du Bian should have broken your body into thousands of pieces, and let you be burned directly to ashes by the hellfire like this, it is really too cheap for you." ”

Immediately afterwards, she raised her right hand high and said: "Du Bian is dead, Du Bian is dead, Du Bian is dead......

The Holy Flame guards under her command also shouted, "Du Chang is dead, the false god is dead!"

At first, dozens of people were shouting, and then hundreds of people, thousands of people were shouting: "Du Bian is dead, the false god is dead!"

However......

That's at this time!

Within the flames of hell, a figure has appeared!

Golden figure!

The exact same scene as before appeared.

The Nine Yang True Scripture within the Du Chang Dantian began to spin wildly, becoming a vortex of energy, constantly devouring the Hellfire energy.

Immediately afterward, the golden figure began to gradually turn into darkness, the dark light and shadow of a human silhouette.

Suddenly, everyone was stunned.

Including Li Wanwan, she was completely and completely shocked, and she couldn't believe her eyes at all.

She knew deep in her heart that the so-called Vulcan Messenger was fake, and the so-called resurrection from the dead was also fake.

Hellfire burns everything and destroys everything.

What's going on with this scene in front of you?

Immediately afterward, something even more terrifying, even more terrifying happened.

The huge hellfire is fading away!

It seems that little by little it has been devoured by Du Chang and entered the body.

Li Wanwan felt her scalp tingle for a while, she really didn't want to believe the scene in front of her.

It's simply subverted the three views.

Is there really a god in this world?

Is there really a Vulcan messenger?

Li Wanwan felt incredulous, but the thousands of Holy Fire Sect troops present were extremely fanatical and excited.

Being burned by the Hellfire and not dying, and even conquering the Hellfire, this is the messenger of the god of fire.

What a miracle they truly witnessed!

No words could describe the excitement in the hearts of the thousands of Flame Cult troops.

Their faith was echoed, and their faith was worth it.

All the hellfires were gone, completely consumed by Dubian.

And this time, Du Bian didn't need to fall into fainting again, because his dantian and tendons had been completely transformed.

After devouring all the hellish flames, Du Yan, who was covered in his body, slowly walked out.

Hands raised high.

Suddenly, one after another Holy Fire Sect soldiers knelt down and kowtowed, "Meet the Vulcan Emissary, meet the Vulcan Emissary!"

"Meet the master!"

"Meet the master!

The unprecedented fanaticism shown by these thousands of Holy Fire Sect troops even far exceeded the previous fanaticism for Li Wanwan, the Fire Demon Holy Maiden.

After all, they hadn't seen the resurrection of the Fire Demon Saintess before, they had only heard the legend.

And this miracle before them was what they saw with their own eyes.

The object of their kneeling, what they call the master, of course, is not Li Wanwan, but Du Bian!

Suddenly, Li Wanwan's mouthful of blood almost spurted out. No words can describe the unwillingness and anger in her heart at this time. This is her carefully built army, this is her most elite Holy Fire Cult army.

At this time, he actually knelt in front of Du Yan and shouted master?

She's going completely insane!

Looking at Du Bian's back, her beautiful eyes were full of bitter hatred.

......

"Meet the master!"

"Meet the master!"

Thousands of Holy Fire Sect troops, like a tide, bowed down and kowtowed one after another.

Du Bian raised his hands high, enjoying their worship.

He got another army, an incomparably fanatical, incomparably powerful army.

Moreover, the loyalty of this army will be eternal, and at this moment, as long as Du Bian gives an order, this army can attack the powerful Great Yan Kingdom without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, Du Chang's eyes were cold and said: "The demon girl is very powerful, offending the god of fire, the crime cannot be redeemed, kill it!"

As soon as these words came out, all the Holy Fire Sect soldiers were slightly stunned, after all, Li Wanwan was once their Fire Demon Holy Maiden.

Du Bian said: "This demon girl's name is Li Wanwan, her resurrection from the dead is fake, she and Li Qianqian are just twin brothers and sisters, Li Qianqian was killed by me, and then she appeared in front of the world as Li Qianqian, and staged a trick of resurrection." This is a fake Fire Demon Holy Maiden, she deceived and offended the Fire God, and according to the will of the Fire God, kill her!"

"Vulcan's will, kill the demon girl!"

"Vulcan's will, kill the demon girl!"

Suddenly, thousands of Holy Fire Sect soldiers drew their swords one after another and rushed towards Li Wanwan.

They are really the most loyal and fanatical group of people, and they really obeyed Du Bian's order to kill their former master.

Li Wanwan's eyes were cracking, looking at Du Bian's back, and roared: "Du Bian, you go to die, go to die......"

Then, with all her cultivation, she spread her claws and pounced towards Du Chang.

No matter how high her martial arts are, she can't defeat thousands of people.

But her martial arts are extremely high, and if she wants to run, these thousands of Holy Fire Sect troops can't stop her.

It's just that, of course, she is not willing to leave like this, and let Du Bian be arrogant here. Let Du Yan get the army that belongs to her.

She used all means to kill Du Bian.

"Du Change, Die, Die......"

The demon girl's sharp claws grabbed Du Bian's neck fiercely, and grabbed Du Bian's right arm with the other hand, using all the power of Xuan Qi to tear Du Bian apart.

Her martial arts are superb, and she will really tear Du Chang apart.

However, at this time, Du Bian sneered.

"Enchantress, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, so let's let you enjoy the taste of hellfire. ”

Suddenly, a white infernal flame erupted from Du Chang's palm.

"Ah......h
