"The Baisheng Pass depends entirely on you and your son. Don't let me down. The safety of the Central Plains now depends entirely on the survival of this pass—"
When Shi Yue heard this, he immediately raised his thick eyebrows. He glanced at Emperor Yuanchen and saw that there was no strange color on his face, then he bowed his head and said, "Of course! Father Commander, he has been in the army all year round and is a man who knows soldiers. There are many soldiers but few soldiers." , and our dynasty has now gathered millions of troops in Shengguan, and it is not difficult to hold the key point of Baisheng Pass. However, Commander-in-Chief Father, he pretended to pass the imperial edict and forcibly summoned the troops and horses from various continents, violating the national law. Afterwards, my father will understand I apologize to Your Majesty."
Emperor Yuan Chen listened quietly, looking at the young man in front of him with a half-smile.
Speaking of which, this son is also a figure of the same clan, with talents and military strategies that are unparalleled among contemporary figures.
Not only is his martial arts not inferior to Zong Shou's, his achievements in the outer realm are also almost the same.
This time, he personally rescued Yin Yu from Zong Shou. But for what purpose, I don’t know.
Are you really loyal? Or do you not want the Great Shang to fall and the Central Plains fall into the hands of the Great Qian? Or do you want to use your talent to control the princes
It’s all unknown—
And that stone thousand miles, a piece of false edict, almost all the military power in the south of the Yangtze River was mobilized.
What a courage! In the past, he would have directly chopped off Shi Qianli's head. He will even take advantage of this to seize the opportunity to confiscate all the Shi family's fiefdom and kill the entire clan.
However, at this time, not only cannot he be punished, but he must be comforted.
It was precisely because Shi Qianli blocked Baisheng Pass in time that he left some vitality and some hope for Dashang.
What's more, Shi Yue saved his life——
However, the head of the Shi family, who usually followed the rules and did not dare to go out of his way in the slightest, dared to act like this.
I'm afraid it was also expected that Dashang would be unable to punish him at this time and could only rely on him.
This person and this clan are all worthy of death!
"What's the crime? This time, it's all thanks to your father that the foundation of Dashang can be preserved. Your father's edict is on file in the Internal Affairs Bureau, but it's not a fake edict—"
Yin Yu waved his hand, as if he didn't care.
"Your father is now responsible for the security of the southeast. It is best for you to have a good name and be honest, so you can pass the edict on my behalf. Mr. Shi Qianli is loyal to the country, good at military affairs, and is worthy of a big job. He can be the general of Zhennan, and the governor of southern and western Ganxi, etc. All the military forces in the seven continents! Stationed at Baisheng Pass, envoys will hold the festival, and the official ceremony will be with the three divisions! As for Shi Qing, you will stay with me. Now I am really short of people here. On the way back to Beijing, I also need someone to accompany me and protect me - "
Shi Yue was startled again, astonished. Envoy Chijie can kill officials below the third rank without the emperor's consent.
As for the Kaifu Yitong Sansi, they can appoint bureaucrats from the Kaifu.
The combination of the two is like a small imperial court, so it will never be given lightly to foreign ministers.
I never thought that Yin Yu would be so majestic. Entrust all the military power of the seven continents.
Once you decide to win over someone, you will never be petty and entrust them with great power without hesitation. You are worthy of being a hero.
But I could also slightly feel the extremely hard-to-detect suspicion in Emperor Yuan Chen's words.
The last sentence is even more obviously tempting.
But this was helpless. He could only persuade his father to take risks in this way. Only this strategy can preserve Dashang.
At that time, there was no time to worry about how Emperor Yuan Chen would feel.
He was magnanimous in his heart. As a minister of the Great Shang Dynasty, he would do his best. Even if the emperor is suspicious of you, you only need to have a clear conscience.
But he is not a die-hard loyalist who does not know how to adapt and does not care about life and death. If he really has to go to that point, it would not be difficult for him to raise a flag to rebel.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty! With Shi Yue here, I will definitely not disturb Your Majesty for a little while. However, I would like to ask Your Majesty to urge the imperial army and the inner court guards to come as soon as possible. With Shi Yue alone, there will inevitably be some oversights."
After a salute, Shi Yue stood up. But Yin Yu seemed to be ten years older at this time. There were countless wrinkles on his face, he was very tired and tired.
Shi Yue frowned and stopped talking. I thought about it, but Dashang was not the only one who suffered heavy losses when he spoke. The losses of various aristocratic vassal towns were also not inferior to those of Dashang.
At this moment, most of these people don't want Da Shang to cause chaos at this time.
It seems like everything is in jeopardy, but if everything is handled properly, it will be a rare time for everyone in Dashang to work together as one.
However, these words were a bit too much for him to say.
Just as he was hesitating secretly, he saw Yin Yu waving his hand, looking disappointed and exhausted.
Shi Yue also knew that Yin Yu's condition at this time was indeed not good and he could only withdraw from the main hall.
In fact, he himself has countless matters to deal with. Just like Nanfeng Yunlu, the food for the 700,000 troops. There are also empty ships, troops and horses still parked outside the territory, how to arrange them.
There really isn't much time to spend on Emperor Yuan Chen.
After Shi Yue left, Yin Yu's expression was still gloomy and lifeless. A hint of relaxation flashed through the depths of his eyes.
Listening to this son's words, it seems that he really has no intention of threatening the emperor to order the princes, and he is somewhat loyal.
Although safety was guaranteed, when he thought about Dashang's 18 million heroic troops being lost in southern Xinjiang, he lost all hope.
There was only despair left in my heart, unable to ignite the slightest fighting spirit.
Looking at his side again, Yin Yu felt unusually lonely. If you have any difficult issues in the past, you can summon trusted ministers to discuss them together. However, at this time, he truly became a loner. No one can trust him, and no one can relieve his worries.
If Imperial Master Chongxuan is still there, if Gao Ruowei falls into the hands of Qianjun—
Just as he was thinking like this, he heard a familiar voice coming in from outside the door.
"Why is Your Majesty so frustrated? Your Majesty is completely demoralized. This doesn't look like His Majesty—"
This voice
Yin Yu was slightly stunned and looked out of the hall. I saw a Taoist priest standing at the door with a smile. The voice, appearance, and smile were all the same as those of the deceased Zhongxuan, but he was only twenty years old.
"National Preceptor? Are you not dead?"
After Yin Yu let out a startled exclamation, he suddenly came to his senses: "Is this really the eighty-ninth method of refining the soul and dividing the soul?"
The look in his eyes was one of surprise and uncertainty, and he knew the magical power of this Qi practitioner.
However, the souls separated by this method have no priority.
The dead Chongxuan was loyal to him, but this may not be the case for the person in front of him.
As if he had read through Yin Yu's mind, Chongxuan came in and explained calmly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Although this Chongxuan is not the other Chongxuan, he is still deeply involved in the destiny of the Great Shang Dynasty. Even if it is for himself. , Chongxuan will definitely do his best to help His Majesty!"
Yin Yu shook his head and thought about it carefully. At this time, Dashang and himself did not have anything worthy of plotting.
This mysterious statement is still somewhat believable. However -
"I still don't understand. At this time, the fortune of the country has declined. Even in my opinion, it can only last ten or twenty years at most. No matter whether you are a Taoist magician or a Qi practitioner, this You should always avoid big businessmen and stay away from them. Even if you leave me, I won't blame you, so why return?"
"The fate of the country has declined? Your Majesty is actually so desperate?"
Chongxuan gave an unpredictable smile and said disapprovingly: "But from Chongxuan's point of view, it is far from final. After the battle in the Yuan Shen Yuan, that sect sent out five major edicts to inform the world. I wonder if your majesty has ever witnessed it?"
While speaking, Chongxuan held a scroll in front of Yin Yu.
"Five edicts?"
Yin Yu's heart moved slightly. He was now alone in the Governor's Mansion in Northern Jiangsu, and the news was indeed blocked.
Shi Yue asked people to gather news from all over the place to him, but he was so despondent that he had no intention of looking at it.
He took it with his hand, unfolded it and took a closer look, and Yin Yu frowned deeply again.
"What the hell is this?"
Subsidizing farmers? Is this because the tax revenue is too much
The Great Shang Dynasty had had surpluses every year since he came to power, but they did not dare to spend them carelessly. They are all saved in the treasury to prepare for disaster years or when troops need to be mobilized.
Seeing how this sect is governing, they are afraid that the money in the treasury will not be spent.
Is this to win over the people
If a fairy cultivator in the cloud world is willing. You can also kill tens of millions of people at will within a year. How much power do those insignificant farmers and ant people have
It's the latter ones. I finally understand.
"Officials and gentry all receive food from one body? Do they share all the land in the world? This sect guard is so proud of himself!"
There was a glint in Yin Yu's eyes that no one else knew. The five great clans and families would definitely not agree.
"Recruit scholars from all over the world to comment on Confucianism. Discuss the merits of Confucianism and criticize Confucianism's faults! Examine Confucianism? Is this sect leader trying to push Zhu Xi into a desperate situation?"
These two edicts temporarily cut off Zong Shou's possibility of entering the Central Plains in a short time.
It alienated the powerful families in the Central Plains and gave up any hope of reconciliation with the Confucian scholar Zhu Zi.
His mind was slightly refreshed, and Yin Yu's energy recovered slightly, but then he shook his head again, and the fire in his eyes dissipated.
"It's useless! Although Zong Shou was young and frivolous, he was arrogant and arrogant after the victory, so he made this stupid move. But it will not be of any benefit to Dashang."
At this time, the Great Shang Dynasty was just hanging on to survive, and there was a vicious foreign enemy named Zong Shou. The major aristocratic families may even join forces to resist.
But once the major families regained their strength. Then the various vassals and towns will attack each other, and the world will be in chaos sooner or later.
At this moment, who would take the Great Shang court seriously
Na Chongxuan raised the corners of his lips again: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the matter about Emperor Qin's tomb? If you can get the bronze men of the twelve towns to suppress the national destiny. Not only can the great merchants be safe, but even counterattacking the great cadres can't be done. What a difficult thing!"
Yin Yu stood up suddenly, his face uncertain.
And Chongxuan's face was full of evil smile: "I believe that my soul has also told you, Your Majesty. To open the tomb door, it takes the blood of 10,800 children born at dawn. Or it may take the blood sacrifice of 1.2 million men to open it!"
Yin Yu looked dazed and hesitant.
"My soul is dead, and the tomb map in his hand must have fallen into the hands of the King of Daqian. Now Your Majesty, you don't have much time to hesitate—"
Chongxuan said, suddenly paused. Seeing Yin Yu's gaze, he smiled and said: "It's the Zong Shou who has led a hundred thousand cavalry to kill the Sixth Ling Mansion Demon Spirit Mountain! This holy king really doesn't want to suffer. The Demon Sect is in trouble. Got it!" RS
