"Your Majesty, why do you want to do it at this time?" Prince Lian suddenly said: "You have only been on the throne for four years, and you have only been in power for less than two years, why did you choose this fledgling time?" ”

Lord Liyang said: "Da Zongzheng, do you think that Your Majesty should endure for a few years, and wait until he gradually grasps the power of the imperial court before doing other things, right?" ”

Prince Lian said: "This is obviously a more mature and prudent approach. ”

In fact, even from Chinese history, we can see many examples, the most typical is lying on the salary and tasting courage.

Including Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when he was young, he had to endure dormancy first, and only after the death of the Empress Dowager Dou that he completely grasped the power, did he begin to do what he wanted to do with great fanfare.

But Prince Lian, this is obviously a kind of carving a boat to ask for a sword.

What is suppressed on the emperor's head now is not the queen mother at all, nor is it a minister, but the Sky Book City.

If left unchecked, the deterioration of the situation is likely to be irreversible.

Lord Liyang said, "I'll tell you what will happen next." ”

"If King Mi destroys the Shen Gong family and destroys Shen Wujian, what will happen after that?"

Prince Lian said: "He will expand further." ”

Lord Liyang said: "No, it's not like that at all. ”

"Once King Mi destroyed Shen Gongao, he had no opponent in the entire south. Next, when the Western Holy See invades the Eastern World, King Mi will become the front line against the Western Holy See, and under this general righteousness, he can do everything, including but not limited to unifying the entire three southern provinces, because at that time, everything will have to make way for a big war. ”

"Today's King Mi, at all costs, wants to convert the Dali Kingdom to the Sky Book City, and even uses the Sky Book City to desperately arm the Dali Kingdom, because ...... King Mi and King Dali are, in a sense, one. ”

Prince Lian was stunned and said, "This, this can't be, right?" King Dali is a Southern Barbarian, and King Mi is a thousand-year-old Chinese clan of the Great Xia Empire, how can these two become one? ”

The county lord of Liyang did not explain, but said: "What I am talking to you is not a judgment, but an explanation. The two may have rivalry, but in the end they are one. ”

Prince Lian felt a chill behind his back at this time.

Fortunately, Shen Wuji's plan in the Dali Kingdom succeeded, creating civil strife in the Dali Kingdom, so that the Dali Kingdom could not send troops to the north, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

The county lord of Liyang said: "The king of the Nanban Continent was the Dazhan Kingdom before, why did the country die so quickly?" Because he is an internal and external trouble! Shen Gongao in the north continued to march south, and how many armies did he destroy the Dazhan Kingdom? How much land was captured? There is a great departure from the king to rebel and seize the throne. ”

"And when the kingdom of Dazhan fell and the king of Dali ascended the throne, the Mi clan and Shen Gongao turned their faces! Shen Gongao has eaten everything he has eaten over the years, and he has to spit it out. ”

"Once Shen Gongao is destroyed, the Mi clan and the Dali Kingdom will unite as one, how big is this territory? What is the population? ”

"This time, fortunately, it was Shen Wujian who created the civil strife in the Dali Kingdom, so that the Dali King could not send troops north, if everything went well, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Dali Kingdom went north, was it just Shen Gongao who was fighting? He will fight Nanhai County, Tiannan Province, and will recover all the lost land before. ”

"Of course, if it had been put before, our Great Xia Empire could still gather a large army, conquer the Great Li Kingdom in the south, and retake these lands. But now, with the imminent invasion of the Western Holy See, the whole logic has completely changed. Once the Western Holy See is fully invaded, then under the suppression of Sky Book City, all civil wars in the Eastern world must be stopped and unified with the outside world. ”

"At that time, can the territory that the Great Li Kingdom took from our Great Xia Empire be able to get it back?"

There is no doubt that it will definitely not be able to get it back.

"Therefore, this time the Mi clan attacked Shen Gongao and eliminated Shen Wujian, and the target was not Shen Gongao's family territory at all. It is for the purpose of dismembering my Great Xia Empire, and it is dismembered with the tacit support of Sky Book City. ”

Prince Lian closed his eyes in pain.

With a full-scale invasion of the Western Curia imminent, shouldn't the Eastern world unite as one?

The Great Xia Empire, as the largest empire in the Eastern world, should be the mainstay of resistance to the Western Holy See, shouldn't it be strengthened? Why dismemberment?

The county lord of Liyang said: "Because there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters for the people." Sky Book City does not want to be the master of detachment anymore, but wants to become the only supreme of the two worlds of detachment and secular worlds. Sky Book City wants to take advantage of the invasion of the Western Holy See to completely unify the entire Eastern World, establish a complete empire, and become the emperor of all emperors. ”

"In our eyes, this is the dismemberment of the Great Xia Empire. But in the eyes of Sky Book City, this is the unification of the eastern world. ”

"For hundreds of thousands of years, the Holy Lord of Sky Book City and the Emperor of the Great Xia Empire have almost equalized their status. But since the first emperor died violently, the crown prince died violently, and His Majesty succeeded to the throne, it seems that he is half a level lower than the Holy Lord of Sky Book City. ”

"But it's just a feeling, it's just a power contrast. But nominally, His Majesty the Emperor is still on par with the Holy Lord. ”

"Then what if the Holy Lord wants to be above His Majesty the Emperor and wants to completely unify the entire Eastern World?"

"Of course, it is to continue to suppress the position of the emperor of our Great Xia Empire, dismember the Great Xia Empire, support King Mi, and support King Dali."

"One day in the future, King Mi and King Dali will win a decent victory against the Western Holy See. What would be the result? ”

"King Mi originally only had two provinces, but it will become five provinces. Once merged with the Great Separation Kingdom, it will have thirteen provinces, and the territory will reach two-thirds of our Great Xia Empire. ”

"At that time, the Emperor of the Great Xia Empire will not be unique!"

"When the Holy Lord of Sky Book City can be canonized as the emperor, and finally the emperor, then will he become the supreme king of the Eastern World? Has the emperor of our Great Xia Empire changed from a king to a de facto vassal king? ”

"If it is not stopped, the situation will definitely develop like this."

"If His Majesty the Emperor does not resist, the thousand-year-old imperial rule of the Great Xia Empire will be severed."

"In the eyes of the people of the world, His Majesty the Emperor has just been in power for a short time, and whether it is prestige or power, it is far from enough." Lord Liyang said: "But don't look at Your Majesty as a person, but stand in the position of the emperor of the Great Xia Empire, now is the time when this emperor has the highest reputation, and it is the moment when the sacredness of this emperor's position is the highest." Because Sky Book City will always suppress the sacredness and nobility of the emperor of the Great Xia Empire, if it is not contained, the sacredness of this throne will depreciate every day! ”

Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor should accumulate strength, prestige, and courage, which is a simple and repeated understanding of history, and this is a kind of carving a boat for a sword. Because this moment is the moment when His Majesty the Emperor has the greatest strength. This is not the personal reason of His Majesty the Emperor, but the inertia of the thousand-year-old imperial system of the empire. ”

"On the surface, His Majesty the Emperor risked the division of the empire, the risk of being deposed, for the sake of a mere Shen Wu, which seems very irrational and ridiculous."

"But this is the most critical moment, and almost the last moment. Once this moment is missed, the imperial power of the empire will go to a real, unstoppable decline, and will completely fall into the abyss until the demise of the imperial system. ”

"Because, Sky Book City will definitely support King Mi to fully resist the invasion of the Western Holy See, and he will definitely become a hero of Eastern civilization."

"At this time, His Majesty the Emperor still has the great righteousness in his hands and the greatest sacredness, if he doesn't make a move at this time, it will be too late."

After all that!

Prince Dazong Zhenglian fell into a long silence.

After a long while, he bowed down to the county lord of Liyang and said: "The county lord's words are deafening, and the old man is ashamed, not as far away as the county lord!" ”

The county lord of Liyang said slowly: "I didn't say these words. ”

Prince Lian said, "That's?" ”

Lord Liyang said: "It was Shen Wuqian who said it, and it was said last year, not only in person, but he also gave His Majesty several letters of ten thousand words, and began to predict what was about to happen last year." Until now, his prediction had been correct. ”

"At the time, I thought it was alarmist, but now, everything is going according to his prediction."

"As a top strategist, you don't want to see today, nor do you want to see tomorrow, but you want to see a few years from now, more than ten years from now."

"Shen Wujian said that he is willing to use all his strength to maintain the thousand-year-old imperial system of the Great Xia Empire."

Prince Lian said, "But...... However, his identity will bring a fatal crisis to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

The county lord of Liyang still wanted to speak again.

But the emperor put a stop.

Prince Lian is loyal, but ...... He hasn't really held the power of the core for decades.

There are many secrets that he does not know, and it is a burden to tell him.

For example, Shen Wuqian wrote in a secret letter that he was willing to continue to do what his father, Duke Yingzhu, had not finished.

For example, the reason why Duke Yingzhu was completely defeated was because the first emperor was afraid of compromise at the last moment, so that Duke Yingzhu was completely defeated under the attack of King Qi and Sky Book City.

Prince Lian's mouth was dry, and he couldn't help but take a sip of tea, and said, "Although these words sound very reasonable, they ...... But if the situation continues to develop like this, the Sky Book City behind King Mi will be played, if Your Majesty continues to choose to support Shen Wujian and continue to fight to the end. Either it means a complete tear of the Eastern world, or you ...... You will be dethroned and your life will be in danger. ”

The county lord of Liyang sneered: "The first emperor has just died for four years, and the first prince has just died for four years, is there another emperor who wants to die?" Death of two emperors in four years? Are people blind in the world? Fools? Deaf? ”

As soon as these words came out, Prince Lian shuddered even more, and said tremblingly: "You can't talk nonsense." ”

The county lord of Liyang said slowly: "Prince Lian, have you ever played the staring game?" ”

Of course, Prince Lian didn't play it, but he also knew.

The county lord of Liyang said: "It's just two people who open their eyes and intimidate each other, whoever blinks first will lose." Whoever is the first to be frightened loses. ”

"Once the struggle begins, there is no turning back. No matter how big the cost, you must fight it, otherwise you will lose all your efforts. ”

"Looking at the struggle between the Mi clan and Shen Gongao, isn't it clear? Once you compromise and take a step back, once you show a little timidity, it is doomed. If it weren't for the appearance of Shen Wuji, the Shen Gong family would have been wiped out long ago, and all the territories would have been annexed long ago. ”

"Is it useful for His Majesty the Emperor to want to compromise now? The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. ”

"His Majesty the Emperor has blocked the path of a certain supreme in the world."

Prince Lian's whole body couldn't help but become rickety.

In the past few decades, he has a noble status, but he really hasn't experienced any fierce struggles, and he can even be regarded as indisputable.

It wasn't until His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne that he became a great sect, and that was entirely because he was old enough, his seniority was big enough, and his foundation was innocent enough.

But such a terrifying struggle made him creepy.

It's not that he's afraid that he's going to die, he's almost eighty, and if he dies, he's dead.

What he was afraid of was that the Xia clan would lose its thousand-year-old imperial lineage.

He was afraid that the royal family would be devastated.

After a long while, Prince Lian bowed down and said: "The minister is old and his brain is not clear, but the minister will always be loyal to His Majesty, and he is willing to use this old bone to go to the soup for His Majesty." ”

Then, Prince Lian said, "Your Majesty, King Mi is still waiting for your reply." Within twenty-four hours, if he did not reply, his army of 100,000 would go south and wipe out the Shen family. ”

The emperor said slowly: "The Great Sect is waiting for a while, and I will also think about it." ”

Prince Lian said: "The minister will go to take a nap, and after His Majesty the Emperor has prepared his will, the old minister will go again." ”

Then Prince Lian went back to his room.

The footsteps are very old.

He's really old.

……………………………………………………

In the study room of the entire palace, there were only two left, the emperor and the county lord of Liyang.

The emperor smiled: "Li Yang, we didn't scare King Mi, we made a move, and he kicked back directly." ”

The county lord of Liyang lazily lay on the chair and said, "So, I said it a long time ago, it's too late for you to sacrifice me now." If you say that I forged a holy decree to deprive me of my position as lord of the county, and imprison me for life, then you can temporarily retire with your whole body. ”

"Actually, what I just said is just the words of Shen Wuji's family! From everyone's point of view, it is not worth taking such a big risk for the sake of just one thing. ”

The emperor said: "What you said just now, it's not just Prince Lian who wants to convince, it's me who you really want to convince." ”

The county lord of Liyang was silent for a while and said, "Your Majesty, because I don't know if it's right or wrong to do this. ”

"I'm not very afraid of death, but I'm afraid that Your Majesty's position will be subverted, and I'm afraid that the Dao system of the Great Xia royal family will be subverted."

"I just repeated Shen Wuji's Book of Ten Thousand Words, not only to convince you, but also to convince myself."

"If it is really because of our adventurism, because of my naivety and naivety, that we really ruined the throne of His Majesty the Emperor and the thousand-year-old Dao system of the Xia clan, then even if I am broken, I will not be able to make up for it."

The emperor said: "Before the result appears, probably no one knows whether it is right or wrong." Shen Wuqian is gambling, why aren't we gambling? If he loses the bet, if he overestimates my determination, then the Shen family will be wiped out directly, and he will be crushed. And if I lose the bet, I will lose the throne and even lose the thousand-year-old imperial system. ”

The county lord of Liyang said: "Half a step forward, you may be crushed." Half a step back, what will happen? ”

The emperor said: "Let's steal peace." ”

The county lord of Liyang said: "Back then, did the first emperor also struggle for a long time? In the end, do you choose to compromise? Led to the demise of Duke Yingzhu? ”

The emperor said: "The situation of the first emperor back then, after all, was more calm than me. ”

The county lord of Liyang said: "What would happen if the first emperor chose to fight to the end? ”

The emperor was silent for a while and said, "Probably the ending is even worse, because there was no invasion of the Western Holy See back then. ”

Lord Liyang said: "The invasion of the Western Holy See is the only favorable situation we have at present. Of course, this overall situation may be beneficial to the enemy, and it may also be beneficial to us. ”

"But it is precisely because of the compromise of the first emperor back then that your current foothold is so narrow, Your Majesty."

Fight to the end! It's easy to say that.

But it's so hard to do it.

Especially now, no matter from any point of view, His Majesty the Emperor is far from the moment when the bayonet is red, let alone the moment when the Emperor and the Sky Book City are completely torn.

It seems that there is still a long, far way from that safety line.

But...... This is the scariest thing in the world, and that's it.

You feel that you are far away from the safety line, so you are careless, and when you can still fight back, you don't dare to fight back because you are afraid that the consequences will be too serious.

Suddenly, overnight, the security line is in front of you.

At this time, it is too late to fight back.

The most terrifying part of the struggle is, of course, adventurism.

But what is even more terrifying about the struggle is the illusion of the enemy, of the predicament.

Now for the emperor, it is really a choice of life and death.

Do you want to believe in Shen Wuji's book of ten thousand words?

Do you want to trust his judgment about the future?

Is the situation as bad as he says?

Is the Great Separation King and the King of Mi really one?

Shen Wujian certainly gambled on the fate of the Shen family, his own fate.

And the emperor can be regarded as gambling on his throne.

Now, no matter in anyone's eyes, it is not so urgent for the emperor to gamble on the throne.

No matter how it looks, His Majesty the Emperor is still a long way from that safety line.

After a long while, the emperor suddenly said: "Li Yang, if the crown prince's brother succeeds to the throne, what do you think he will do?" ”

The county lord of Liyang said: "He won't gamble, he won't bet on the throne for Shen Wuqian." Because he is very wise and rational, no matter which way you look at it, this gamble is too ridiculous, for a mere Shen Wufeng, gambling on the throne? Ridiculously naïve. ”

The emperor said, "Then what if what Shen Wujian said is right?" ”

Lord Liyang said: "Then this time is your only chance to fight back, and it is also the Xia clan's last chance to keep the thousand-year-old imperial system." ”

The emperor said: "I lost the throne, but there is nothing. But if the Xia royal family loses the thousand-year-old imperial throne because of me, then there is no way to die. ”

Lord Liyang said: "You are shaken, aren't you?" You don't dare to bet, do you? ”

The emperor said, "Then what if you are asked to make this decision?" ”

Lord Liyang said: "I don't know, fortunately it wasn't me who made this decision." ”

The emperor sighed: "Eighteen years ago, the first emperor chose to compromise and retreat, and the first emperor was timid. So Duke Yingzhu died, the Ying family perished, and my Xia royal family lost its most loyal ally. ”

"Now, it's my turn to make this choice!"

"My father chose to compromise and retreat, and if the first prince succeeded to the throne, he would probably choose to compromise and retreat, because they were wise and rational enough."

Lord Liyang said: "Men are responsible for reason. ”

Then, she looked at the clock and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to make a decision, you need to make it as soon as possible, time is running out." ”

"And in the last decree, you can still say that I forged the decree and put everything on my head. But once this decision is made, there is really no turning back, and there is only one way to the end. ”

The Emperor felt his headache splitting and slowly sat down in his chair, leaning his head against the wall.

Reason told him not to be so crazy.

The judgment of the future is only one side of the story.

will not bet on the throne, and will not bet on the thousand-year-old Taoist system of the Xia clan.

But......

It's like following the impulse of your heart.

That's ...... Utter madness!

The Emperor closed his eyes and fell into the last struggle, the last thought.

A full quarter of an hour!

The Emperor stood up sharply.

Fuck the reason!

Fuck it!

There is one saying that is true.

Once the struggle has begun, there is no turning back.

Staring game, whoever blinks, whoever has a weak heart, who loses!

Then, the emperor said slowly: "Draft! ”

"King Mi immediately stops all military operations against the Shen Gong family, and immediately retreats all the troops, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion and rebellion, and I will send troops to suppress it, Qin this!"

Then!

The emperor took out the tiger talisman and shouted: "Come on, gather the army, go to Tianshui Province, and prepare to quell the rebellion!" ”

Stop!

The county lord of Liyang was extremely excited.

She stretched out her hand and wrote a decree for the emperor.

Then, the emperor stamped the big seal, as if gambling to leave.

On the contrary, the emperor relaxed and said to the county lord of Liyang: "I can be regarded as staking the throne up." ”

The county lord of Liyang said: "Even if you lose, it's a big deal that I will die with you!" And him, the three of us will die together! ”

The emperor smiled: "When I studied and played games with him, where did you think that there would be today?" ”

……………………………………………………

Next!

Prince Dazong Zhenglian went to the palace of King Mi with the emperor's most severe holy decree.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict that Mi You immediately stop all military operations against the Shen Gong family and immediately return all the troops, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion and rebellion, and I will send troops to suppress it, don't say it is unpredictable, Qin this!"

Meanwhile!

The Emperor's other decrees spread to several large camps in the Empire!

An army of more than 300,000 troops was ordered to begin to assemble.

Prepare to go to Tianshui Province to suppress the rebellion!

All of a sudden!

The sky is falling apart!
