Chapter 289: The Struggle for Domination (3)
Ye Xuan turned around and left with Hongrui, looking at the sky covered with black clouds, as well as the pouring rain, the thunder, like the power of the sky, the place where the thunder roared, under the eyes of the law, you can see the intertwining of Dao lines, and the energy is extremely powerful. How small are people in the face of heaven and earth. Like a grain in the sea.
The two looked at the sky above the palace, because it was a thunderstorm, the dragoons in the sky had set up camp and returned to the village, but this was normal, a group of armored dragoons, the spears in their hands, were like lightning rods. It's easy to be hacked.
Ye Xuan and Hongrui did not rush into the air, after all, the legendary thunder tribulation still exists, and being split is equivalent to bearing a blow from the power of the entire heaven and earth, although it is not excluded that there are powerful masters who can enter the thunder tribulation as if they were in a no-man's land, but after all, it is not a good thing, and it is not a stunned youth, so they have to joke with their lives. Ye Xuan didn't need to be like some fellow practitioners, making enemies everywhere and encountering dogs when he went out, he didn't need to torture himself to cultivate so desperately, it was a big deal that the cultivation progress was a little slower. There is no danger to his life, in Ye Xuan's opinion, his first task is to live as long as possible, as for what the next step in life is, he has not yet figured it out, as if life is like duckweed, allowing time and wind to bring people to different stages. Probably the only thing that can be done is to be calm.
The two of them walked indifferently in this deep palace, as if walking in their own back garden.
The sound of rain in "salsa sha" continues.
Ye Xuan's head was constantly analyzing what he had seen and heard when he came. He keenly felt that a suppressed aura was about to sweep over the entire Nanzhan Continent from this imperial city, "I want to go to Jian'an to have a look." ”
Hongrui's face was calm, and her slender hand fell on Ye Xuan's shoulder, "It's okay to go there, but the trip to leave here has to be delayed again." ”
Ye Xuan nodded. "Perhaps. But that Jian'an is the residence of the Holy Sect, and maybe there are some secrets hidden. Since I've been here in Nanzhan Chau, I haven't really come into contact with the ruling center here. Now that I have come to the Great Zhou Palace, I have also seen the magnificence here, and I am even more curious about what the Holy Sect, which has been above the imperial power for 800 years, has any background. Although he didn't even know the background of the Great Zhou Empire. ”
Although he only saw this side with the Demon Emperor, Ye Xuan was also shocked by the kind of courage that reigned over the world. The momentum cultivated by the emperor's family, if you don't look at it face to face, you can't imagine it just by imagination. Especially those eyes that are in the world. It's as if you can see through people's hearts at a glance.
In the Tianji Pavilion, the Demon Emperor was reading the papers in a distraught manner. Shen Lang was also waiting beside him. There were still several powerful auras in the deep palace. As a guard, he didn't dare to leave. At this moment, the Demon Emperor can't have an accident, otherwise the world will be in chaos. Relying on the system alone may not be possible. Just because the situation has been laid out, and the arrows have been opened. I will not be able to return. The world is like a mirror, which has long been cracked, and now there is a deep one, if you don't change it, it will be broken with the old mirror.
Shen Lang said in a deep voice: "To save, or not to save?"
The Demon Emperor quietly looked at the scroll in his hand, "We need a wise man to shelter us from the wind and rain." ”
Shen Lang's heart trembled, "You mean, just with the scrolls on this table, just with these fledgling scholars? Are you gambling! Eight hundred years of national fortune, just rely on this bet?"
The Demon Emperor nodded, and then a relaxed smile appeared on his face, "My luck has always been very good, and the foundation of eight hundred years has not survived this catastrophe, and the operation of the country has never relied on the will of the emperor to operate, relying on the hundred officials, as well as the people in the world." Every day when I am alone in this palace, all I can do is what the officials and sentient beings want me to do. Everything will be done properly, and all I have to do is choose. I have made several wrong choices, some of which have been discovered by the officials and admonished to death, and some of which have been tacitly approved. As long as it does not violate their interests, they will acquiesce, but the people of the world have to suffer, but as long as it is in their interests, they will turn a blind eye and close one eye, but after a long time, there will definitely be a group of people who will come to me to explain the suffering of the people. And as long as I am in the court, then as soon as I say it, I will be able to restore the way I was before the wrong decision, and gain a good reputation!"
Speaking of this, the Demon Emperor's smile grew colder. "These hundred officials, they are the smartest group in the whole world, and their wisdom and wisdom can maintain a stable balance of the country, especially the long-term institutions of the past 800 years. Their roots are deep enough. Even if there is a change of dynasty, as long as they put out another emperor, they will continue to be in power. Even if the dynasty changes for 10,000 years, they are still the ones who control it for 10,000 years. It is undeniable that this is the greatest art. ”
Shen Lang was silent. "Marionette?"
The Demon Emperor's face smiled again. "I am conscious, not a marionette, and I used to wonder what I should pursue for my supreme status? I thought about it for a long time, and one day I was in the attic watching the sun rise in the sky. I found out that the emperor also had pursuits. I want my name to be resounding for ten thousand years, and I want to use this group of smart people to achieve my goal, I am the pastor of Kyushu, and the whole world is mine, although all officials are smart. But they used their cleverness to forge the so-called supreme existence of the "Emperor", so I can use the rules they have built to control them, win over one faction, and fight another, which is a very fun game. Of course, now I have a fictitious enemy, that is the Holy Sect, this sect, has always suppressed the imperial power, for eight hundred years, the successive demon emperors have tried to overthrow it, but without exception have failed. Most of the reasons are very simple, the strength is not enough, and when it comes to me, I think the strength is about the same. Therefore, we must overthrow it, and then take everything from the Holy Sect, so that all the officials will be fed! Let the role of Emperor Mingjun of my martial arts resounded through the ages!"
Speaking of this, Shen Lang looked at the Demon Emperor and shook his head. "What's the point, the demon heart is greedy, and the taxes of the common people may not be less. ”
The Demon Emperor regained his composure, as confident as ever. "There will be less, I will announce the world when I raise things, water can carry boats, can also overturn boats, painted cakes, promised things, if you don't promise, sentient beings will make these hundred officials uncomfortable. I allow greed, and there are seeds of greed in the consciousness of all living beings, and they even allow greed, but greed has to have a limit, and if it collapses, no one will be happy. I think the hundred officials who read the book of the sages may not understand this truth. ”
"The elite in the desert, save or not. ”
There was silence in the Tianji Pavilion, and the Demon Emperor continued to look at the file in his hand. After a long time, the tired voice of the demon emperor came from the hall. "Save, but we have to wait for the east wind to rise. ”
