Chapter 110: The Three Great Institutions of the Imperial Court
The battle between Zhang Yuwen and the saint hunter was very short. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info, but the impact is really incalculable. This battle is a decisive battle representing the imperial court and the nine major forces, at the peak of the top combat power.
What the imperial court lost was not only a peerless master, but also the victory or defeat of the war. Although it was not possible to gamble on the fortune of the country in World War I, the power of the imperial court shrank more and more, and its strength weakened more and more. In contrast, the momentum of the nine major forces is even more arrogant.
The most obvious change is the rumors of other provinces and the compromise of the imperial court's policies. We have drastically changed our past attitudes, no longer stubbornly maintaining absolute rule, and have rallied the weak and small forces to clamp down on the nine major forces.
But the battle between Zhang Yuwen and the Saint Catcher will not represent the end of the war. Although the outcome is decided, it does not mean that it will end there. There are three paths that the imperial court can choose. According to the development of the situation, the nine major forces suffered heavy losses and won the victory. Or peace talks, conserving as much strength as possible and waiting for the next encounter. Or they will continue to draw troops from various provinces and continue to fight to the death, pushing the war back into an unpredictable future.
At this time, a dialogue that would determine the future of the war was taking place in Kyoto.
The emperor sitting on the dragon chair was in the shadows, so that people could not see his expression. There are only five people standing in the huge treasure hall, one is dressed as a guard, one has a mirror pinned to his waist, a mighty general who is not angry and arrogant, and a peerless national warrior and His Royal Highness the Prince.
The empty hall closed its doors and windows, and only a few people stood in the huge space, adding a touch of gloomy and murderous aura.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the first to speak and break the silence: "Father, the top priority is to eradicate Zhang Yuwen! Since the matter of Jiangnan Dao has reached this point, only a strong man has broken his wrist to drag down the people of the nine major forces. ”
The man with a mirror pinned to his waist then said, refuting the prince's proposal: "It's the eight major forces. Fengyun Pavilion has surrendered to the imperial court. This can be used as a breakthrough point to divide the remaining eight. I propose peace in order to paralyze the eight major forces. ”
"Bullshit!" the mighty general angrily rebuked, "Go to the peace talks! To get rid of these tumors, the only way is to kill! There is only war! I implore the Holy Majesty to decree that the ministers please lead the troops to quell the rebellion!"
"General Tian, no. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, "All the troops that the imperial court can call on have already been sent to Jiangnan Province. The remaining forces are already at a minimum and must not be moved. Otherwise, it will really lead to the whole body, not only losing Jiangnan Province, but also the entire country is in danger. ”
Guoshi took a step forward, shook his head and said, "Even if we don't draw troops anymore, once Jiangnan Road is lost, the country will also be in danger." ”
The person pinned to the mirror said: "Does Fang Guoshi also agree to send troops again to quell the rebellion in Jiangnan Province?"
Fang Guoshi shook his head, "Although the situation is out of control now, it has not yet reached the point of collapse, if we draw troops and send a large army, it will really put Datang on the gambling table." But the mirror master's theory of harmony is also not advisable. Blindly backing down will only make those people gain an inch. ”
The mirror master said, "Fang Guoshi agrees with what the prince said?"
Fang Guoshi still shook his head, "If you don't interfere and only kill Zhang Yuwen, the variables are too big." Zhang Yuwen is the number one master in the world, and he is by no means easy to get rid of. Ignoring the soldiers who are still fighting bloodily, it will be chilling and cause a bigger blow to my Datang. ”
General Tian said impatiently: "Old house, don't be empty. Is there any way to say quickly, what a bend. ”
Fang Guoshi shook his head and said, "The minister has stated the relationship and asked Your Majesty to decide." ”
The crowd didn't say much, but stood quietly and waited for the emperor to decide. The space fell into silence for a moment, with a heavy pressure.
"Prince, Du Daowei. "With the momentum of a superior person, there is an unquestionable majesty.
The crown prince, and the people dressed as guards knelt on one knee and saluted, "The minister is here!"
"With the prince as the positive, Du Daowei as the auxiliary. When you two go to Jiangnan Province, you must get rid of Zhang Yuwen! Except for the sword guard in charge of Du, and the secret agent in charge of the prince. You can then select personnel from the Dragon Guardian Clan and Ouchi Secret Agents. There is no time limit, but if you don't get rid of Zhang Yuwen, you are not allowed to return to Kyoto! You can requisition any local resources, you can add reinforcements, and you can pay any price!"
There are no pauses, and the speed of speech is extremely fast. Three times to get rid of Zhang Yuwen, three in a row. There is no one that does not represent the determination of the emperor, the determination to eradicate the first in the world.
"Obey!" the prince and Du Daowei spoke resolutely, vowing not to give up until they reached their goal.
"General Tian!
The mighty general and the peerless warrior knelt on the ground and saluted solemnly. "The minister is here!"
"You two judge for yourself how many troops you need to conscript, and go all out to suppress Jiangnan Province!"
Although brief, no one doubts the emperor's determination. No emperor would tolerate a challenge to his authority, a threat to the throne.
"Mirror Master!"
The man with a mirror pinned to his waist was half-kneeling. "The minister is here!"
The emperor said in a deep voice: "The Hanging Mirror Division is in charge of the fault of the personnel of the court and the central government. But today, I would like to issue a new responsibility for the Hanging Mirror Division. ”
"From today onwards, the Hanging Mirror Division will have new responsibilities to judge the culpability of the rivers and lakes!"
The mirror lord was stunned, and did not respond immediately, and replied, "Holy Lord, the Hanging Mirror Division supervises the officials of the DPRK and China, and puts an end to the spies of the nine major forces." If it is a new responsibility, I am afraid that there will be insufficient personnel and cannot take care of it. Besides..."
The emperor said, "The supervision of the Hanging Mirror Division will be handed over to the Ouchi secret agent, and the trial officer will be handed over to the Dali Temple." The Hanging Mirror Division will be fully involved in the martial arts from today, starting with the weak forces. Those who obey the court will be rewarded, and those who maintain the nine forces will be destroyed!"
"Obey the order!" Lord Mirror commanded. It represents that the Hanging Mirror Division has changed from concurrently leading to full power, becoming one of the three major institutions of the imperial court to supervise the rivers and lakes, and from dealing with a small number of martial arts people involved in the imperial court to directly attacking the forces of the rivers and lakes that disobey the imperial court!
The self-arresting saint is in charge of the six gates, and has been transformed into a person who specializes in managing martial arts. to the reform of the sword guard, from the elite emperor's guards to the recruitment of righteous people from all over the world to target martial arts people. And now the Hanging Mirror Division has finally been completely transformed into a department for Jianghu martial arts.
With strict training and strict discipline represent the six doors. The six gates are not geniuses, and they are not as talented as the top forces who are strictly selected. Playing against the geniuses of the top forces, one-on-one will be miserable, ten against ten can barely be supported, but a hundred against hundred, it will be these people with mediocre qualifications who will win.
Different from the martial arts sect that cultivates the strong, the six doors are trained at the beginning to be the unity and mutual assistance that ordinary Jianghu people rarely have. Do not rely on qualifications, do not rely on personal courage, advocate teamwork, make up for each other's shortcomings. The six doors do not cultivate the strong, but the army.
The sword guard was originally the emperor's elite guard. After recruiting righteous people from all over the world, anyone who has a heart for the court can join the sword guard. It is the largest army of the imperial court today, more than the army. The sword guards were recruited by the government at all levels to solve the problem of food and salary. There are no direct superiors and subordinates, and they are nominally commanded by the highest and strongest sword guard team. Those who perform well can be recommended to join the core sword guards for training.
Plus the transformation of the Hanging Mirror Division. The imperial court did not compromise after the heavy blow and chose a tough counterattack. did not choose to become the Zhou Li who divided the world, but chose Qin Quan to unify the world.
