"You may think this sounds incredible, but it is not a lie, because I have experienced it myself -" Gong Shufeng took a deep breath and slowly told the experience, "The order of Yongding City has not been replicated in other places. , these privy councils that temporarily took over the power of governance were no better than the government offices of the past, and were even more chaotic and cruel. Because for those people, Qiguo was a completely foreign country and was used to satisfy their own desires. A great opportunity without having to worry about any regulation or impeachment.”
Chu Pu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat.
Loot and sell refugees as commodities
Hunting down ordinary people in the countryside who don't want to be slaves
How could the alchemist of the Privy Council do such a thing
No... She does know that there is an atmosphere in the Privy Council House where only those who sense Qi can be called the same kind. If you trace it back, you can trace it all the way back to the Yong Dynasty period. Although the Seven Stars have made efforts in the past dynasties to try to eliminate this sense of separation, even within the Seven Stars, they have not been able to achieve complete unity.
After all, after awakening the ability to sense qi, it is equivalent to possessing power that ordinary people cannot imagine. How can there be true equality between alchemists and ordinary people
This also made Chu Pu unable to say anything to refute.
Because she had never thought about this issue before, alchemy was everything and nothing else mattered. . But now that I think about it, without the constraints of the Yongding Privy Council, it may not be a surprise what these alchemists will do.
"Then all the people here...are Liuzhou rebels?"
"grown ups!"
"They just-"
Chu Pu raised his hand to signal the guard to be quiet and looked directly at him.
Gongshufeng knelt down and smoothed the snow under the stone monument, "No, they come from all over the world. And the one who inherited Miss Gongsun's will and led them to stand up and resist the oppression is my brother Gongshujin."
In the end, this force in Liuzhou did not escape the encirclement and suppression by the Privy Council.
He still clearly remembers the scene when Gongshu Jin, who was covered in wounds, brought the lifeless leader of the rebel army to Shenzhou. This "army" with only a few hundred people left soon appeared on the front page of Shenjin Weekly, and caused an earthquake-like response in Jinxia.
It can be said that this incident reversed high-level decision-making.
It was from this moment that Jinxia City began to shift from defense to attack, not only providing food and weapons to the rebels, but also sending forward troops to assist them in their operations.
Gongshu Jin accepted His Majesty's commendation, but declined to become the general of the Jinxia Army. In his words, he had no talent for commanding battles. Apart from practicing a little bit of mechanical skills, he was more suitable to stay in the countryside and serve those who suffered. Justice for those who commit violence.
Before His Majesty unified Qiguo, Gongshu Jin had been active in various states, but after Qiguo was unified, he went directly to other kingdoms.
It can be said that he became the guide for His Majesty's march plan.
"You said before that you didn't understand why Master Gong Shuwang did what he did. I think I might know the answer." Gong Shufeng stared at the stone tablet and said.
"What is it?" Chu Pu couldn't help asking.
"I once received a cane, which was something she never left her body. I didn't know at the time why Lord Wang sent the cane to me all the way without any letter. Now I understand... She wants to place her family’s hopes on me and Gong Shujin.”
"The public loser will choose a betrayer as his successor?" the guard questioned.
"Don't you understand yet?" Gong Shufeng turned his head, "In grandma's eyes, the Privy Council's Office was already failing a few years ago, and it is impossible to win against Jinxia City in the war!"
"You guy-"
He stood up, his voice getting louder and louder, "Isn't it? Facts have proved that grandma's vision is correct. Mr. Chu, you also have such a hunch, right? The Seven Star Privy Council keeps talking about unifying the six countries and creating a new world led by the alchemists. era, but in the end, today's six countries are still six countries. Apart from the barely unified allocation of resources, where is the shadow of a kingdom? Will you really treat the people of Qi State as people of Xu State, and will you treat the alchemists of Qi State as if they are people of Xu State? Do you treat me as a person born in Yongding Mansion?"
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
"You may argue that integration takes time, but in Jinxia City, they have included the demon capital, let alone those who fled from non-Shenzhou. Even in terms of the tolerance of integration, His Majesty and Mr. Xia are both If it is far stronger than Seven Stars, how can Seven Stars defeat the Apocalypse Army?"
Gong Shufeng paused, "So no matter how many times you ask me, my answer is that I don't regret this choice. In other words, I am glad that I did not become an accomplice of the Privy Council!"
There was a harsher thing he didn't say.
Gong Shuwang probably realized this and decided to commit suicide to protect his family. This move is not only to give an explanation to Qixing Mansion, but also to find a way out for other public losers. In her opinion, even if the family is divided and unable to recover, it is better than continuing to build war machines for the Privy Council and being completely liquidated in the end.
At this point, it is obviously impossible to win over.
Chu Pu felt her lips were cold, as if snowflakes had frozen her words. After a moment of silence, she turned and walked outside the cemetery.
…
The next day, Yuheng envoy approached Yanyue.
However, the latter was much harder to see than Gong Shufeng. The people under his command had to hand over letters from the envoys and talk all kinds of good things in private before they made an appointment for a meeting at two-quarters of an hour in the afternoon.
This gave Chu Pu a bad feeling.
Sure enough, as soon as he walked into the living room, Yanyue said bluntly, "If you have anything to do, tell me quickly. I have to rush to Liuzhou later and can't stay in Shangyuan City for a long time."
These words were quite rude and even a little rude.
Besides, we have to travel far away from the city during the season of heavy snow and road closures, so this excuse is really perfunctory.
The guards were full of anger, but Chu Pu knew that now was not the time to attack. She briefly stated her intention, and also talked about the long-standing relationship between the Yan family and the Privy Council.
But unexpectedly, Yanyue knocked on the table and said with a sarcastic face, "This relationship is to use the Yan family to threaten me and let me deal with Xia Fan secretly? It's because I was naive at that time and thought that Master Seven Stars was trying to avoid Evil spirits bring harm to the world, so I deliberately got close to Jinxia."
Speaking of this, Yan Yue became furious.
At that time, she really thought that Xia Fan was an unscrupulous person who would definitely cause disaster in the world if he got involved with the princess. Therefore, she took the opportunity of Ning Qianshi's invitation to come to Jinxia and inquire about information for the Qixing Privy Council. Lift. Unexpectedly, as she gradually understood the truth of the matter, when she raised questions to the superiors, the superiors began to use the Yan family to threaten her, asking her to provide inside information about the Mechanism Bureau, and to use her best medical skills to secretly poison Jinxia's senior officials.
This shook Yanyue's cognition to pieces!
After all, in her more than 20 years of knowledge, the Privy Council is actually a more advanced and enlightened political system, much better than the court.
As soon as this secret letter was delivered, Yanyue felt that his world was turned upside down.
... .
