Volume 1 Taking the Sword Chapter 68 The Sword of the Son of Heaven
"Hehe, the first emperor is really clever, all of this is running according to the first emperor's strategy, only by messing up the court situation first, can he kill people with a knife and weaken the power of Dong Zhuo's old thief. ”
"In order to achieve this step, the old slave first planned the matter of the Son of Heaven Sword, nominally ordered by the emperor, and secretly led by Dong Zhuo, taking the opportunity to provoke the contradictions between the various families of the Five Elements Sword, so that you can kill each other, no matter who finally gets the Son of Heaven Sword, you will become the public enemy of the world. ”
The words of the ghost shadow, everyone who listened to it felt cold in their hearts, the first emperor's situation was yin and poisonous, Dong Zhuo and Zhang Jiao and others thought they were clever and could dominate everything, but they were just other people's chess pieces.
And Cao Cao and others almost all entered the game passively, and they were even more chess pieces among the chess pieces!
They are also enthusiastic, dedicated to eliminating harm for the country and revitalizing the Han family, thinking that as long as they take out the sword of the Son of Heaven and the golden sword, call on the heroes of the world, and eradicate Dong Zhuo and Zhang Jiao, the two big Han thieves, they can make the world peaceful, but they never imagined that the current situation of the Han Dynasty was planned by the first emperor.
The new emperor is weak, and it is inevitable that he will become a puppet in the hands of Dong Zhuo, and in time, when the time is ripe, Dong Zhuo will definitely usurp the throne and become the emperor. Therefore, it is better to give it a go, maybe there is still a chance, but the first emperor chose the path of 'winning in chaos', can he really turn things around?
Today's Han Empire is really 'chaotic', all over the country, everywhere is a mess, the common people have no way to live, in order to eat their stomachs, in order to survive, they have taken risks, the Yellow Turban Army is the best example.
This kind of situation is really what the first emperor wants to see? Even if Dong Zhuo is finally overthrown, will the new emperor still have the ability to control the chaos in the world?
Cao Cao, Zhang Liao, Sun Ce, Liu Bei and others were silent. There was silence for a while, thinking about how to display their enthusiasm, and where to show it?
"It's all unfounded, hehe, it's all unfounded. The first emperor said that as long as he got the Sword of the Son of Heaven and the Golden Slip of Gaozu, he would definitely be able to turn the tide and reshape the glory of the Han Dynasty!"
He looked at the Heavenly Sword and the Golden Scroll lying on the platform in front of him, as if they were beckoning to him.
Everything is under control, the ghost shadow is triumphant, the sword of the Son of Heaven and the golden slip are at your fingertips, as long as you take it back to the hands of the new emperor, and then raise your arms and shout, the loyal ministers and people with lofty ideals in the world will flock to sweep away the dirt of the court and revive the Han Empire.
A former emperor who has died, a new emperor who looks weak, and a ghost shadow who fanned the flames everywhere, actually played with the subjects of the world.
The ghost shadow stretched out his hand to take the sword of the Son of Heaven, and no one dared to step forward, and everyone had seen the power of gunpowder outside.
They all widened their eyes, wanting to see what this legendary Son of Heaven Sword looked like.
It was a big surprise that the Son of Heaven Sword couldn't be picked up. It's not because the Son of Heaven Sword is too heavy, or it's fixed, but because when the ghost shadow picked it up, he found that the Son of Heaven Sword had been broken into three sections.
The ghost shadow only picked up the hilt, and it was rusty, full of red rust, and he picked up the other two pieces, both of which were also corroded, and even with a strong pinch, he could break off a piece from it.
It's ridiculous, these pieces of tattered scrap iron are really the Sword of the Son of Heaven?
Can these things change the fortunes of the Han Dynasty?
Everyone is in a circle!
The Five Elements Swords that have been passed down from generation to generation by the five major families, 'Qinghong', 'Seven Stars', 'Overlord', 'Double Strand', and 'Purple Lightning' are still extremely sharp after four hundred years, and they can be called peerless swords. The Five Elements Sword is known as the Gongwei Tianzi Sword, and four hundred years later, in order to open the Calvary Platform, they were sent into the stone cow's mouth one by one, and the end of the sword was broken, in exchange for these rusty scrap iron?
The five elements of the sword are together, and the sword of the Son of Heaven is out. Emperor Gaozu, you really can!
What is the use of such a sword of the Son of Heaven?
Slowly, the world is peaceful, and the ancestors are golden. Isn't there still this second half of the sentence?
The ghost shadow looked at the golden slip, and hope came again.
The ghost shadow hurriedly picked up the golden slip lying on the platform, this one was not broken, let alone rusty, it was still golden after four hundred years.
The ghost shadow wiped the golden slip on his clothes, and finally read the words on it.
This is the text engraved by Emperor Gaozu himself, these words once brought hope to the kings of the Han Dynasty, because they knew that once the Han Dynasty was in trouble, they could rely on Gaozu Jin Mu to tide over the difficulties and even turn things around.
This piece of gold is not only the hope of the ghost shadow, but also the hope of the first emperor, and the life-saving straw of the new emperor. Because he did not hesitate to cause chaos in the world, he knew that once he got the Gaozu Golden Slip, he would be able to cure the disease and revive the Han Dynasty.
And for the new emperor, it is not so much that he sits on the dragon chair every day, but rather sits on the stove. Nominally an emperor, but in fact he is like a prisoner, not to mention rights or anything, even his life is not guaranteed. The Han Empire is already in danger and difficult to return, and it is only by relying on the legendary Gaozu Jin Mu to change the fortunes of the country.
This is the lifesaver of the Han Empire!
The ghost shadow's eyes widened, and he finally read the words on it.
But he was disappointed again, because there were only seven words on it: He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world......" The ghost shadow began to become a little confused, repeating these words incessantly.
Everyone present finally knew what was written on the golden slip.
This sentence comes from the mouth of the sage Mencius, and his proposition, Cao Cao and others are very clear, that is, 'the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light.' 'Only by being kind to the people and your subjects can the country be stable and the emperor's throne be firm.
Cao Cao couldn't help but secretly admire this Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, he was able to achieve the great cause of the emperor with a cloth cloth, and naturally understood the gains and losses of the people's hearts, which was also a summary of his imperial essence. It's a pity that the descendants of later generations don't all understand this truth, the people's will is vested, and the Han Dynasty will naturally prosper;
Cao Cao finally figured it out. Emperor Gaozu did not deceive anyone, he sealed the truest side in this secret room. Back then, the snake slashing uprising, the famous 'Heavenly Sword' was just an ordinary sword, because it would also rot and shatter. It's just because it was used by Emperor Gaozu that it's called the 'Sword of the Son of Heaven'.
In this way, what this Emperor Gaozu left to his descendants is not a mountain of gold, but a finger that can turn stones into gold.
It's a pity that some people will never be able to understand, such as the ghost in front of you.
The ghost shadow laughed and nagged those seven words for a while, and then cried and shouted for the first emperor, he threw the three broken swords to the ground, and he slammed the Gaozu Golden Slip against the wall.
He looked at the people in the secret room, laughed, bent down with laughter, and laughed tears and snot all over his face.
Suddenly he began to cry again, crying heartbreakingly, crying heartbreakingly, and blood flowed from his eyes and mouth.
The ghost gritted his teeth, looked at the crowd, and lit the powder pack.
There was a loud bang, and the whole secret room shook and smoked thickly.
The ghost shadow hopes are shattered, psychologically broken, and in disappointment, he commits suicide.
And all the people present will be buried together!
The people who stayed above were quietly waiting for news from below, and they were all worried about their relatives and friends below, hoping that they would come up soon to reunite.
No one expected that what they were waiting for was a loud bang.
Everyone was anxiously looking down, expecting their relatives and friends to come out of the secret room. But half a pillar of incense had passed, and there was still no figure in sight.
Someone was already ready to jump in and dig up the collapsed chamber.
At this moment, I finally saw someone start to come out.
The first one to come out was Zhuge Xiling. She was holding a man in her arms, it was Lu Bu. When she came to it, she asked softly, "Are you going with me to Jingzhou to find the second brother, or are you going back to Dong Zhuo?"
Lu Bu was covered in blood, and his right hand struggled to hold the piece of Gaozu Golden Scroll, and said word by word: "With this piece of Golden Scroll, you can return to Dong Xiangguo." I can have today's achievements, it is not easy to come by, and I must not lose it! You have to believe that when I sit in that position, I will definitely marry you. ”
Zhuge Xiling had heard these words countless times, but she had no other way out than to deceive herself into believing in this man.
Zhuge Xiling had two lines of tears in his eyes, looked at Lu Bu with love and hatred, and walked away with him.
The second to come out was Sun Ce, his left leg was injured and his right sternum was broken, but his body was still straight.
In his hand, he was holding a fragment of the Son of Heaven Sword, and he held it tightly in his hand, for fear that others would snatch his 'treasure'.
When Huang Gai saw the young master, he burst into tears, hugged Sun Ce, and whimpered like a child. Sun Ce smiled and said, "I'm fine, Second Uncle Huang, let's go." ”
The third one to come out was Liu Bei, whose wounds were on his face and bleeding constantly.
He also held a broken Son of Heaven Sword in his hand, the smallest of which was more precious than any gold jewel.
Seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei cried first, and the three of them hugged warmly, unwilling to separate for a long time.
Liu Bei wiped away his tears and saw Mi Yue and Zhang Mei standing together, looking down anxiously, and couldn't help but say with a calm face: "Yue'er, I'm here." ”
Holding the fragments in one hand, he pulled Mi Yue in the other, and left without looking back.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei trotted and followed closely behind Liu Bei.
After a while, no one came out, and the people above were almost desperate.
At this moment, I heard someone below laughing: "Finally found, finally found." It was Cao Cao, who was carrying the largest piece of the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand, and talked to Zhang Liao beside him while laughing.
This is the largest of the three shattered pieces of the Son of Heaven Sword!
Thankfully, Zhang Meiwang was eager to see her beloved lover.
Coming to the top, Cao Cao handed the fragment into Zhang Liao's hands, opened his arms, and greeted Zhang Mei. Zhang Mei threw herself into his arms and happily pressed her face to his heart.
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Zhang Jin, and Zhang Qian saw that their eldest brother was safe and sound, and they all stepped forward to celebrate.
Xiahou Yuan asked, "Where is my eldest brother?"
Only then did everyone see that Xiahoudun did not come up.
"It's okay, Brother Xiahou, he will definitely come up. Cao Cao was very sure.
Sure enough, the last one to come up was Xiahoudun, his left leg was also injured, the whole thigh was blurred with flesh and blood, and he could barely walk, and the most regrettable thing was that his left eye had been permanently lost.
Xiahou Yuan cried: "Big brother, I'm scared to death... ”
Xiahoudun patted his brother on the shoulder with a smile and said, "The eldest husband doesn't flick when he has tears, have you forgotten that our brother is from the gold faction, and he hasn't seen any strong winds and waves?"
After another half a day, no one came out.
Zhang Liao looked at the fragments of the Son of Heaven Sword and asked, "Brother, what are your plans for the next step?"
Cao Cao looked at Zhang Mei's pretty face and said: "I am going back to my hometown in Qingzhou, first, to bury the bones of my parents, and secondly, to recruit the villagers, and use this 'Sword of Heaven' to eradicate all the ghosts and ghosts that harm the people." ”
After a pause, he asked again: "I'm afraid that the future will still be a day of wandering around, is Mei'er willing to go along?"
"You are my home, and where you are, my home will be there. Zhang Mei put her face on Cao Cao's chest, smiled and smiled, delicate and infinite.
