Chapter 81: That Faith
"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to protect the peace of my imperial capital with one death. The minister knew that all this was not enough to make up for the mistakes made by the minister, but he still wanted to ask His Majesty to give the minister a chance. The ministers will always remember His Majesty's great kindness. ”
Lord Yun's eyes flashed with tears, at this moment he began to hate his incompetence, if it weren't for his weakness, he couldn't protect his courtiers, he couldn't protect his people, how could things have become like today, out of control.
"It's me, it's me who is sorry for you. I'm too cowardly, if it weren't for me at the beginning, Yunguo wouldn't have come to this point and fallen into such a predicament. "Faded from the aura of the emperor on weekdays, he is just a person who wants to protect his hometown.
"Prime Minister Wen, you and I have been friends for decades, and we have fought in the court for decades, but this time, I really admire you. I'm proud of you from the bottom of my heart. After General Duan finished speaking, he bowed deeply in the direction of Prime Minister Wen and towards him.
It was a heartfelt respect, turning the page of the history book, all the grievances dissipated, and Prime Minister Wen turned away with a fearless conviction.
Without further ado, he turned away resolutely. The rings of the years carved more or less traces on his body, and the staggering pace slowly moved away from the palace where he had stayed for decades, and his back was depressed.
Although the cloud lord is reluctant, but the enemy is now, there is no time for him to think about how to do it is better.
"Your Majesty, the minister should also go and prepare. It can't be made that Prime Minister Wen's sacrifice is meaningless. After General Duan finished speaking, he also bowed and retreated.
Defend the country and swear allegiance to the death. How many people walked to the cold Huangquan Road because of this sentence.
Whether it is life or death, it is all in a thought.
The cloud lord got up and opened a faint mechanism next to the table.
Instantly, a wide area shaped like a corridor appeared behind the table. The cloud lord took a look and walked down the stairs. The little eunuch behind him hurriedly took a candle and hurriedly followed.
"Your Majesty, slow down." The corridor was very long, and the voice of the little eunuch seemed particularly hollow here.
At the end of the promenade, there are two stone chambers, already covered with a layer of ash that looks like they have been around for a long time.
I don't know what mechanism the cloud lord touched, the door of a stone room opened automatically, and you could see the layout inside at a glance. In fact, it is very simple, there are only a few monotonous portraits on the cold stone walls.
It is the portrait of the emperors of the Yun Kingdom, and they are displayed here one by one.
The cloud lord stood in front of the portrait, did not speak for a long time, and after a while, he picked up his clothes and knelt down, "I don't want to be a descendant, I have come to think about it." ”
Raising his hand and waving away the little eunuch, Lord Yun looked at the portrait in front of him alone.
It's been thirty years, and the cloud country has been in his hands for thirty years. He didn't govern the Cloud Kingdom into a prosperous and prosperous world, and in the end, he didn't have any face to stand here and worship his ancestors.
But now, he wanted to take another look at this place and leave one last thought. These two stone chambers were built by our ancestors more than 100 years ago. In order to prevent the immeasurable situation from happening one day.
His father, the emperor, once told him that it was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. If there is an irreversible change one day, follow this secret passage to escape.
In a stone room is the portrait of the emperors of the past dynasties, afraid that one day when the city is broken, it will be destroyed.
The other stone room is a secret passage to the outside of the imperial capital, and no one else knows this secret except the emperor's house.
He came here today, not to abandon everything and run for his life, but to take one last look. If one day this becomes someone else's place, then everything here will become a memory.
Mourning his ancestors is the only thing he can do now. Forgive him for his cowardice in this life, and brought the cloud country to the land of no return, for the sake of today, he can only wait, wait for an opportunity, maybe things can take a turn for the better.
