Chapter Forty-Eight: The End of the World
At noon, near the grave.
The dazzling sunlight shone on every inch of the grave, including Hu Hanyan's corpse.
Shangguan Jingde, a hunter in the mountains, went up to the mountains to hunt, and came across the corpse of Hu Han Yan. He checked the pulse of Hu Han Yan and found that he was still breathing, so he carried him home and healed.
"Am I dead?" asked Hu Hanyan, who was in the Nether Ghost Realm.
"Dead you're big, your heart is on the right side, you're not dead. Even if you really die, I'm afraid that our small Netherworld Ghost Realm will not be able to accommodate you, the Sword Emperor. Let's go back!" the Nether Ghost King said with a wave of his sleeve.
"What is the sword, what is the sword?" asked Hu Han Yan when he woke up from his dream.
"Lie down, don't move! The wound on your chest is easy to open. Shangguan Jingde, the mountain hunter, said comfortingly.
"Ahh
"Little brother, don't get excited, lie down quickly! I am Shangguan Jingde, a mountain hunter near this tomb, you were injured by the Mingyuan Sword of the Great Sword Master Xuanyuan Langgang, but fortunately it was not fatal. As for what you say, what kind of old man with a red beard, I have never seen it. But if you don't drink this bowl of healing medicine, I can assure you that you will definitely become a dead man under the sword. Shangguan Jingde, a mountain hunter, explained.
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Shangguan!" Hu Han Yan took the potion and drank it down.
"Hey, that's right, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you. After listening to the old man's words, he was as happy as a fairy. Shangguan Jingde said with a smile.
"Uncle Shangguan, I was still in the Sword Spring just now, why am I in the tomb now?" asked Hu Han Yan in surprise.
"The distance between the sword spring and my tomb is quite close, don't be surprised. Judging from what happened to you, don't you know why they abandoned you here?" said Shangguan Jingde, a hunter in the mountains.
"Clear! Clear!" Hu Han Yan said as he touched the sword wound on his chest and recalled the misfortune of Jian Quan.
After recuperating for half a day, Hu Han thanked him and said goodbye, and Shangguan Jingde, a hunter in the mountains and wilderness. There was only half a day left before the agreed deadline for sending the letter to Shangguan, and he no longer rested, and walked forward with his wounds.
In the afternoon, near the yamen of the prefect of Shangguan.
"Shangseki"
Hu Hanyan saw that there was a sign hanging on the city wall, which read. When it finally arrived, he was exhausted, but his heart was full of joy.
The hard work paid off, and at the last moment, Hu Han Yan hurried to hand over ten letters full of family thoughts to the hands of Shangguan Guanyi.
Hu Han Yan can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and now he doesn't have to die. He lay on the roof of the Yamen of the Shangguan Prefect's Mansion and looked at the dazzling sun in the sky. He closed his eyes and imagined how happy he was when he read the letters of his family members in Hujia Village. Suddenly, he felt that today's sun was extraordinarily warm, making him feel warm from the inside out.
Because it was too comfortable, Hu Han Yan stretched his waist. Stretch on the roof, and the consequences can be imagined. His sudden commotion really broke his little waist.
Hu Han Yan fell from the roof and fell impartially on the feet of Meng Yingqiang, the unruly princess of the Dream Dynasty.
"Ahh
After Hu Han fell to the ground, he fell unconscious. Since he was facing the ground, he naturally never met the unruly princess Meng Yingqiang.
Hu Hanyan, who woke up, went back to Hujia Village in a hurry.
Because it was too comfortable, Hu Han Yan stretched his waist. Stretch on the roof, and the consequences can be imagined. His sudden commotion really broke his little waist.
Void cracks, the roof of the Yamen of the Shangguan Prefect's Mansion.
"No, it's wrong, you didn't stretch and fall off the roof. The Wise Master said.
"Then how did I fall off the roof?" asked Hu Hanyan.
"Hu Hanyan can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and now he doesn't have to die. He lay on the roof of the Yamen of the Shangguan Prefect's Mansion and looked at the dazzling sun in the sky. He closed his eyes and imagined how happy the promising young people in Hujia Village were when they read the letters of their families. Suddenly, he felt that today's sun was exceptionally warm, making him feel that the whole sun seemed to be pressed on his face. After a while, he noticed that the sun on his face emitted a foul smell. He opened his eyes and found on his face what was the warm sun, but the droppings of birds. After wiping it off with his hands, he looked at his dirty hands and vomited. He threw the dirt off his hand with all his might, and suddenly his feet became unsteady and he fell off the roof. The Wise Master said.
"Well, I'll admit, it does. Dare to ask who you are?" asked Hu Hanyan.
"Like you, I'm a time traveler. The Wise Master said.
"What are you doing here?" asked Hu Hanyan.
"Sword Emperor, I'll take this Soul Pearl!" said the Wise Master.
"The thief is gone!" said Hu Hanyan.
In the evening, in the back hall of the Yamen of the Shangguan Prefect's Mansion.
"I don't know that Princess Yingqiang is here, and the officials are guilty of crimes!" said Ye Luming, the prefect of Shangguan.
"My father said that you are the most trusted person in him, and this princess has reached the age of marriage, and he said that you can choose the most suitable concubine for me in this Kyushu. However, Princess Ben didn't believe it. This princess has decided to go to the other eight imperial uncles' territories to see which cousin is the princess's future concubine. What should you do with your old man, go back to your father, and don't need this princess to teach you?" Meng Yingqiang, the unruly princess, scratched with her feathers, and the prefect of Shangguan, who was over eighty years old, Ye Luming's feet asked.
"Xiaguan knows, I know, please let Xiaguan go! Xiaguan will return to the emperor, it is that day when the stone is dark and unknown, Princess Yi visited Kyushu all over the world, looking for the future concubine. Ye Luming, the prefect of Shangguan who couldn't cry or laugh, begged for mercy.
"Okay, that princess, thank you here, Grandpa Ming!" Meng Yingqiang finally scratched her feather twice, and the prefect of Shangguan Ye Luming said on the palm of her foot.
Today, the land of Kyushu is ruled by the Dream Dynasty, and the country is called Xiang. When the emperor dreamed of the year, he had no children under his knees, and his only daughter was the barbarian princess Meng Yingqiang.
Yin Ran City, the imperial city of the Dream Dynasty, is located in the center of Kyushu, with a large population and prosperous commerce. The northeast corner is the territory of the prince of the lord for many years, the song is everywhere, there are many entertainment places, ranking first in Kyushu. The southwest corner is the entropy of the prince who dreams of forgetting the year, and there are many literati who are good at criticizing state affairs. The south is the territorial city where the widow prince dreams of returning to the New Year, advocating force and countless generals. To the north is the Hongda City, the territory of the prince Mengwennian, bordering Persia and having a large foreign population. In the west, the city of Oden, the territory of the king of the buttercup dream, is prosperous and rich in real estate. The east is the Jieda City, the territory of the prince of Natong Mengwu year, with many dwarves, weapon manufacturing, and ingenuity. The southeast is the Neer City, the territory of the dream of the prince of Naer, there are many elves and beasts, the forbidden land of the human race, and the exception of the royal family. In the northwest is the Evil City of the Evil Qi of the Dream of the Prince, with giants and fierce spirits, guarding the Great Wall in the north.
So, the barbarian princess Meng Yingqiang instructed the palace maid to take out a map of Kyushu and hang it on the wall. She blindfolded herself with a black cloth and threw darts, where to throw, where to play.
In this way, this move can really be said to be the future, the future is in hand!
"Princess Qiyu, it's the city of evil spirits, the land of the far north, it's extremely cold, it seems that we need to bring more warm winter clothes for this trip. The personal palace maid Liuli said.
In the afternoon, the teenager's home.
"Stinky boy, it's a big life! Hu Yanting, the adoptive father of Hu Han Yan, looked up and down at Hu Han Yan who was unscathed and said.
"I shouldn't have died, I didn't expect it!" Hu Han Yan grimaced.
"Stinky boy, did Lao Tzu let you sit down? Listen to Lao Tzu! You won't be so lucky this time, Evil Qi City, have you heard of it?" Hu Yanting, the official post adoptive father, kicked over Hu Han Yan, and shouted on the broken wooden bench that wanted to sit down.
"The Great Wall of the North, won't it be the Dream Dynasty that recruits troops to repair the Great Wall, do you want me to join the army for you?"
Actually, I don't want you to go, but the Xifeng girl in Qifeng Pavilion can't do without me, so I have to wronged you. Then I wish you another chance to survive death!" said Hu Yanting, the adoptive father of the official post, and laughed.
At this time, Hu Hanyan was lying on the mat woven for him by his adoptive father Hu Yanting under the cool bed quilt that Mr. Wen Yu bought for him.
Hu Hanyan burst into laughter from time to time in his sleep, and he thought that he was the happiest person in the world at this moment.
Suddenly, the Wise Master appeared in front of Hu Han's bed, quietly looking at the sixteen-year-old boy.
After a while, the wise master got tired of seeing the young man, and through his dream, he knew that his next stop would be to walk the rivers and lakes in Filthy Hengcheng. The wise master, who knew that the gamble had been lost, walked slowly to the door and looked in the direction of Zhan Heng City.
"Sword Emperor, what if you win this gamble? The final winner will only be my Wise Master. The Wise Master said.
The political and economic reforms implemented by the Entropy Prince in the city were not all smooth sailing.
He also had a debate on whether to divide the various places in the city of Zhuzi as officials at the beginning of the current emperor's dream of dividing the territories.
A group of leftist civil officials, led by Li Xun, asked the prince of Entropy to divide his sons into officials in the hometowns of the major old kingdoms that had not been occupied for a long time, believing that this would help consolidate the prince's rule over the city of Lanxi.
However, another group of right-wing civil officials, headed by She Hao, insisted on opposing it. They believe that the reason for the wars and strife in the old country is entirely due to the evil consequences of the chaos of the old country. They believed that only by abolishing the feudal system could they avoid the scourge.
The entropy prince adopted She Yan's opinion, believing that to divide the sons into officials in various parts of the city was to make them enemies with each other.
So he established the county system in the city of Ranjin, and implemented it throughout the city.
Eight years later, at the palace banquet held by the entropy prince in the city of Lanxi, there was another debate between the ancient and the modern.
At the banquet, the leftist civil official Qing Falcon flattered the entropy prince to his face, touting that all the princes of his old country together were not comparable to the prestige and virtue of the entropy prince.
Yu Ming, a rightist civil official, put forward the idea of restoring the feudal system in response to Qing Falcon's flattery.
"Xia Guan heard that among the ancestors of the old dynasty, some people lived for more than a thousand years. He divided his brothers and children, as well as civil and military warriors, into all parts of the city, and he was the right to assist and manage the small matters of the city-state. Now the entropy prince has a territory as large as the city of Lanqing, and his sons and brothers are just some powerful men, and they have no official position. If there is a rebellion among the prince's soldiers defending the city, how can the prince save himself without their rescue? Now some officials are flattering to the prince and belittleing the old country's experience in governing the city, which is aggravating the prince's fault! The lower officials believe that he is not a loyal minister. Yu Ming, a right-wing civil official, explained himself and advocated the restoration of the feudal system.
After hearing this, the entropy prince remained silent and handed over Yu Ming's suggestion to the civil officials for discussion.
She Hate, a leftist civil official, made it clear that he disagreed with Yu Ming's views.
"The experience of the old country's failed city management is not worth learning. Confucian students do not learn from the successful experience of our Dream Dynasty, but should learn from the experience of the failure of the old country, discuss the experience of the old country's failed governance, and use it to poison the current Dream Dynasty. If it is not forbidden, it is possible that the officials below can command the higher officials, and the current Dream Dynasty will go back to the path of destruction of the old country, and the unity of the Dream Dynasty may be destroyed. She Hate, a leftist civil official, refuted the views of Yu Ming, a rightist civil official, and said.
In order to distinguish all the authorities of the old country and establish the absolute authority of the entropy prince in the city of Lang, She Hate proposed several suggestions to the entropy prince to burn the books of the old country.
All the books of the old kingdom that were not conducive to the Meng Dynasty's governance of the city-state were burned, and the entropy prince approved of She's suggestion.
The day after the banquet, Prince Entropy lit the fire of book burning in various parts of the city.
This is known as the "book burning".
In less than a month, the classical documents before the Dream Dynasty were all reduced to ashes. All that remained was a set of books in the Royal Library of the Old Kingdom, and the burning of books was unstoppable.
In the second year of the book burning, there was another incident.
The pit of Confucianism is not a direct continuation of book burning, but is caused by some right-wing civil officials and Confucian students slandering the entropy prince.
After seizing great power and enjoying the glory and wealth, the entropy prince was very afraid of death.
After obtaining the territory of the city of Ranjin in the year of the Dream Stream, he whimsically sought the elixir of immortality.
In order to cater to his needs, alchemists from all over the country promised to find this medicine for the entropy prince.
But according to the law of the Dream Dynasty, those who fail to fulfill their lies, or whose medicine is ineffective, must be punished by death.
The alchemists everywhere knew that they couldn't get the elixir of immortality, so they not only fled, but also slandered and slandered the entropy prince for his own use, and served as a full-time prison official. They also accused the entropy prince of being too greedy for power, no matter how big or small the affairs of the city were decided by him.
After hearing this, the entropy prince was furious, and ordered an investigation on the charge of bewitching the public, and personally arrested five or six hundred alchemists and Confucian students from all over the country and buried them alive in the city.
This is the so-called "Confucian" incident.
After the burning of books and the pit of Confucianism, the economic level of the city soared.
With this solid economic foundation, the superstructure of the eldest son of the entropy prince Mengliannian should be worry-free, right?
