The battle of the Rolling Stone Barracks had been over for several days, but the majestic walls were full of traces of war, huge bricks were incomplete, and in the wasteland outside the city, the mountains were full of ruined fortifications and broken armor, and in one place, there was a raging fire, which should be burning corpses, and the air was filled with a scorching and disgusting smell.

Zhao Yuan just glanced at it, and he could guess how tragic the battle situation of the Rolling Stone Barracks was at the beginning.

Five hundred heavily armored soldiers.

Forty super warriors.

50,000 near-naked infantry.

Such a force, without the aid of any heavy equipment, to conquer a majestic and impregnable wall, one can imagine how heavy the price to pay is.

It's just a little more than a year, Guo Axe's originally honest and simple face has a little more stability and maturity, and the strong body in armor makes people feel an inexplicable trust.

Obviously, Guo Axe has not had a good time in the past year or so.

Under the reverent gaze of thousands of people in the Rolling Stone Barracks, Zhao Yuan was welcomed into the city gate.

The soldiers of the Rolling Stone Barracks all know that Zhao Yuan and Guo Axe, although they are not brothers, they have the general affection of brothers, just as the so-called love house and Wu, the Rolling Stone Barracks regard Zhao Yuan as their own people, not to mention, Zhao Yuan's momentum in the Great Qin Empire is like the sky, and he is the idol of all soldiers.

Without politeness, Guo Axe took Zhao Yuan to the secret room, including Yang Cheng, Lu Feng, Xiao Mazi and others.

Looking at the tacit understanding between Guo Axe and Yang Cheng, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but nod secretly, he didn't expect that Guo Axe would be so close to them.

In fact, Zhao Yuan didn't know that the military of the Great Qin Empire, except for General Changkong, had been divided into many factions, and he represented a new force with no background.

With Zhao Yuan as the representative of the faction, it is mainly a group of generals who were promoted during the battle with the Assassins, these people all regard Zhao Yuan as a spiritual leader, and they usually take care of each other and get very close, intentionally or unintentionally.

Only after the defeat of the Great Qin Empire to Blackwater City, Zhao Yuan's faction has already had a pivotal position in the military, among them, in addition to Guo Axe, Yang Cheng, Lu Feng, Xiao Mazi and Crazy Daoist and others, have all become independent generals, even the Sledgehammer Heavenly God, they have to give enough face.

Guo Axe's influence can be seen in the fact that he was able to lead 50,000 cavalry to attack the Rolling Stone Barracks without any authorization......

......

Inside the secret room, the lights are bright.

The people sat down in turn.

"Zhao Yuan, my soldiers and horses in the Rolling Stone Barracks have been replenished to more than 50,000, and the soldiers and horses that you brothers can mobilize in Blackwater City are about 30,000, plus 150,000 stabbing slave cavalry, as long as you uncover the rod, you will immediately gather from the followers......" Guo Axe's leopard eyes shot a fanatical gaze.

"Do you want to be the emperor?" Zhao Yuan looked at Guo Axe lightly.

"Ah...... No, no...... It's not me......" Guo Axe's face suddenly turned blood red, and he shook his head again and again: "I mean you ......"

"How do you know that I want to be the emperor?" Zhao Yuan was unfazed.

“......”

Guo Axe opened his mouth wide, looking at Zhao Yuan with a stunned expression, Zhao Yuan's words and calm expression seemed to be a basin of cold water poured head-on.

"General, now is the right time and place, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity......" Yang Cheng tried to convince Zhao Yuan.

"Yes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Zhao Yuan nodded.

"Yes, yes, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

When everyone saw Zhao Yuan nodding, they were overjoyed.

"The question is, what's so good about being an emperor?" Zhao Yuan sighed.

"Ah......h

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer this question.

“...... When you become the emperor, the whole world is your ......" Guo Axe racked his brains and thought for a long time, expecting Ai Ai Dao.

"It's true that the whole world is yours, but governing the country is not such a fun thing. You have to cling to power, learn to conspire at all times, and be careful that if you lose, you will die. There are few people in court politics who are normal, eunuchs, queen mothers, queens, and princes revolve around you all the time, but if you are the kind of person who is more likely to mix up, some of the surrounding nomads are always thinking about attacking, and you have to bear the responsibility of the leader. ”

Zhao Yuan took a sip of tea and paused.

"If you can do whatever you want to be an emperor, eat, drink, have fun, engage in women, spend money, kill whoever you want, you are indeed happy in life, but after death, the infamy is rolling, unless you don't care, this is actually not much different from being a rich man, being a rich man does not have to worry about what coup results in his own life, it is safer to enjoy himself, and his happiness may be higher. ”

"If you want to be a wise man, then you can't do what you want, you have to restrain yourself, and sometimes you have to be aggrieved in order to achieve great achievements, but what about great achievements? Dead is not a handful of loess? Won't great achievements also have to disappear? The only thing you can expect is that your achievements will be praised for thousands of years, but the way of praise for thousands of years is not only one way for the emperor, and the moral character is noble, writing books and sayings, and cultivating the truth, all of which can be praised for thousands of years, isn't it the same way? So what is so special about being an emperor?"

“......”

Everyone looked at each other and fell silent for a while.

"If you look up to me Zhao Yuan, and want to live a happy life with me Zhao Yuan, I Zhao Yuan can realize your dreams at any time. If you want to go down in history with my original name Zhao, it is better, now the war is in chaos, as long as you fight bravely to kill the enemy, sacrifice your life for righteousness, in the history books, you will record your great achievements, and it is not a problem for the descendants of Fuyin to be born from generation to generation. ”

"If you think it's not enough to be rich and famous in history, okay, follow me Zhao Yuan Xiuzhen, I'll take you to see the magic of the Xiuzhen world, as long as you work hard to cultivate, even if you can't become an immortal, it won't be a problem to live for hundreds of years......"

"But ......"

"Hehe, I know that you are soldiers, soldiers, you are going to die in battle, this is no problem, then what kind of bullshit since the crusaders of the Heavenly Kingdom have bullied the territory of our Great Qin Empire, then, I will fight back, annex them, and let them bow down to their subordinates......"

......

There was silence.

Of course, Zhao Yuan didn't convince them, but they didn't know how to refute it.

"Zhao Yuan, I'm just unwilling!"

Guo Axe looked aggrieved.

Zhao Yuan did not know the grievances suffered by Guo Axe in the past year, because, from beginning to end, Guo Axe was the main battle faction, when he was in the imperial capital, Guo Axe was squeezed out and suppressed by hundreds of civil and military officials, and even was deprived of military power for a time.

In the past year or so, Guo Axe endured humiliation and suffered a lot of white eyes, which made him completely see through the decay of the Great Qin Empire, and it was precisely for this reason that the loyal and honest Guo Axe who was silent and silent rose up with a heart of betrayal.

Of course, Guo Axe was not the first person to rise up the heart of betrayal, it was Yang Cheng's group of people who wanted to rebel, because, at the beginning, Yang Cheng's group of people were all transferred to the imperial capital, at the beginning, they were also reused, and later, they were gradually squeezed out by some children of the family, and they were arranged to be idle one after another, so that a group of hot-blooded men wanted to die.

The experience of the imperial capital made everyone understand that no matter how immortal feats they made, among those royal relatives and nobles, they were all unpopular characters, and sometimes, they would be allowed to perform the art of riding and archery in front of hundreds of young masters, and their status was no different from that of clowns.

In the Great Qin Empire, the real rulers were some eunuchs, especially when the emperor did not die, the chaos of the court and government, even the powerful Changkong generals were often impeached by some treacherous people, and the suppression of some loyal and good generals can be seen.

This crusade invasion completely exposed the corruption of the Great Qin Empire, which also completely disappointed many conscientious military generals, especially a group of new generation generals who sacrificed their lives for righteousness, began to have the heart of rebellion......

......

"Unwilling to ......" Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment and said: "Axe, although I don't know what grievances you have suffered, but, above the court, that's it, this is also the reason why I have never wanted to be an official." ”

"Zhao Yuan, you can change it. ”

"Well, I believe I can change, but what about my descendants? Do you want my descendants to be overthrown? A dynasty cannot exist forever, and in the Zhanyun Continent, the Great Qin Empire is not the first country, nor the last country...... Unless ......"

Zhao Yuan stopped abruptly and stood up.

"Unless what?"

Looking at the excitement on Zhao Yuan's face, Guo Axe and the generals showed a trace of incomprehension.

"I have a solution!" Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"What's the solution?" asked Guo Axe curiously.

"We can raise the emperor!" Zhao Yuan clenched his fists, the long hair on his head was windless, and his eyes were extremely deep, like the vast starry sky.

At this time, Zhao Yuan couldn't wait to look up to the sky and let out his inner happiness, because he just remembered the British political system on the earth, if the British system was cloned into the Great Qin Empire, then there would be no need to worry about the safety of the little emperor, and all social contradictions would be solved.

"Raise the emperor? Aren't we raising the emperor now?"

"No, it's different, what I'm talking about is to treat the emperor as a symbolic existence, he can represent the dignity of a country, but he doesn't need to run the country, it is called a constitutional monarchy......"

"The emperor doesn't care about the country, who cares?"

Naturally, everyone does not understand the set of political concepts on the earth, and they are confused one by one.

"Hehe, it's hard to explain this for a while, anyway, we have time, and we'll figure it out slowly later. ”

"Oh......"

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do, but everyone had realized that Zhao Yuan had already made a decision, and it was useless to say more.
