The water is silent, so I can relax, looking at each other calmly, unmoved by the eight winds.
Yu Qiankun took a quick breath and said in a deep voice, "Did Uncle Jiu only ask this question?"
Shui Wuyin said: "Yes. Master Yun Zun only asked this question. There are too few things in this world that can haunt Master Yun Zun. This question is already too many."
Yu Qiankun closed his eyes and said for a long time: "This world was almost brought down by Uncle Jiu with his own strength. Didn't he, the old man, even ask a single question about this world?"
Shui Wuyin said coldly: "Your Majesty said it well, Jade Tang brought peace to the world with the support of Yun Zun and Jiu Zun. However, how many people in the world still remember Yun Zun and Jiu Zun? The heartless people of the world still have In this world, what’s the use of remembering it, will it only make you sad?!”
"Now in the whole world, is there anyone who is grateful to Yun Zun?"
Jade Qiankun was silent for a moment and said, "This is my fault."
Shui Wuyin seemed to have lost his voice and remained silent for a long time.
Jade Qiankun said sadly: "Wuyin, one person's misfortunes and blessings, compared with all the people in the world, which one is lighter or more serious?"
Shui Wuyin said calmly: "How can ordinary people comment on such great principles? The ordinary people are here just to fulfill a request. After returning, they will also burn incense to Lord Yun to report the well-being of King Xiaoyao."
Yu Qiankun was silent for a moment and said: "I have always hoped that Uncle Ninth can come to Tianxuan again... to help me... What I don't understand is that after becoming a god... can I really be too forgetful of love?"
Shui Wuyin refused to give in and said: "Master Yun Zun has never been too forgetful of love. He has people and things that he always cares about, such as his father, Lord Xiaoyao King."
Jade Qiankun said: "Wuyin, you are forcing me!"
Shui Wuyin said: "Why did your majesty say this? Cao Min has repeatedly explained that this trip was just entrusted by Lord Yun Zun to ask your majesty a few words. Why did you force him to say it? I dare to ask your majesty, what happened to King Xiaoyao? ?”
Jade Qiankun said with difficulty: "King Xiaoyao... Now, his whereabouts are unknown..."
"Why is his whereabouts unknown?" Shui Wuyin asked.
"..." Yu Qiankun's eyes showed a trace of anger and said; "The country is in crisis, and the mountains and rivers are in turmoil. I have no choice but to use various means to lure Uncle Jiu down to earth... but all to no avail. In desperation... King Xiaoyao... wants to use blood. The method of policemanship inspired Uncle Jiu’s soul to come back to this world..."
Shui Wuyin nodded and said, "In other words, Lord Xiaoyao King is dead?"
Yu Qiankun said angrily: "Lord Xiaoyao King, for the sake of the hundreds of millions of people in the world, for the great cause of the dynasty, and for the sake of the eternal country, he died for the righteousness. Wuyin, you don't have to say it so harshly, I know that you are feeling uncomfortable, and I am not feeling well, but...the welfare of the people in this world is more important than the gain or loss of one person's life or death. This is something that anyone can tell clearly!"
Shui Wuyin said respectfully: "Yes, your majesty is right; he is clear-cut and conclusive, and the common people understand it completely. However, your majesty made a mistake. The life of Lord Xiaoyao King depends on him." People’s lives. And the world your Majesty talks about is only your Majesty’s own world, not the world of everyone in the world.”
Jade Qiankun's face darkened slightly.
Shui Wuyin's words were hard to hear, but he was not going to have an attack yet. He even had a thought of recognition in his heart: Of course this world is my world. Do I need to say this
"The common people will naturally convey your majesty's reply to Mr. Yunzun, but... Mr. Yun Zun asked if King Xiaoyao is okay. I believe the answer he wants to get is only about King Xiaoyao's well-being; the grass people If you want to answer Mr. Yun Zun, you will only answer whether King Xiaoyao is well or not, but will not answer other questions...for example, the reason for his death."
Shui Wuyin said: "Your Majesty may not know that the number of words in the communication between Cao Min and Master Yun Zun is limited. You can only send up to six words at a time. As your Majesty said, six words, Obviously it can’t be finished.”
"Six words?" Yu Qiankun frowned immediately after hearing this answer.
From this point of view, could it be that Uncle Ninth really didn’t come down
"If so, how does Wuyin plan to report it?"
"Of course I am reporting the truth, King Xiaoyao is deceased!"
"inappropriate."
Yu Qiankun said: "Since Uncle Jiu wants to know the news, why not tell the truth?"
Shui Wuyin said: "The truth? Your Majesty, please explain clearly what you are saying."
Yu Qiankun said: "How about these six words 'suddenly plotted to die'?"
Shui Wuyin was stunned and speechless.
I said six words, and you really gave me six words.
These six words make it clear what I want to say, and almost everything.
However, King Xiaoyao's cultivation was so advanced that he had reached an unrivaled peak in this world. He also had a respected status and a high position of power. However, he was suddenly assassinated and died... Doesn't this mean that a huge disaster has happened to the Yutang Empire?
This is obviously to lure Yun Yang to come to Tianxuan again!
"Why does Your Majesty insist that Mr. Yun Zun return to this world?" Just these six words. There is no need to say it anyway; Mr. Yun Zun is in front of you. Not only these six words, but also everything in this exchange. He heard all the words clearly and missed every word.
"An unprecedented crisis is shrouding this land." Jade Qiankun sighed sadly: "The late emperor was plotted, and he was poisoned by a strange poison. He stayed on the bed for several years, and it was said that he was in the bliss of Bintian. Now, I am also under threat. , lives can only be overturned in an instant; the country is in turmoil, watching the mountains and rivers shattered, and the situation is precarious... Yutang tried his best to save himself, but he was no match for the power of gods and ghosts... If Uncle Jiu doesn't come, this world... "
"King Xiaoyao died for his country for the sake of righteousness and for the future of the world..."
Jade Qiankun let out a long sigh.
Shui Wuyin said: "Common people understand, if your Majesty has no other instructions, I will leave now."
Jade Qiankun said: "Wuyin, if Uncle Jiu asks, you must explain my difficulties. The safety of one person is compared with that of the whole country..."
Shui Wuyin couldn't bear it any longer and sneered: "Even if Your Majesty doesn't say it, ordinary people understand the key and have already figured it out a long time ago. There is only one thing that needs to be made clear to Your Majesty. The so-called one person Your Majesty has made it clear several times that safety and danger are more important than the billions of people in the country. Everyone knows it. So ordinary people dare to ask: Your Majesty is the son of the Earth Lord and the Water Lord. Naturally, he calls these two seniors dad. Damn it; but I wonder if there are hundreds of millions of people in this world, does your majesty also want to be able to call you daddy?"
"presumptuous!"
A thunderous shout suddenly sounded, and Yu Qiankun's face suddenly turned gloomy, almost dripping with water.
Shui Wuyin was happy and undaunted, and said: "How can it be rude for common people to express their feelings without asking questions? At least that's how it is for Lord Xiaoyao Wang to Lord Yun Zun."
He gently bent down and saluted, and said: "The common people have resigned."
Yu Qiankun looked at Shui Wuyin with a gloomy face as he walked out. Seeing that Shui Wuyin was about to reach the door, he suddenly spoke again: "Wuyin, I am kind and sincere, you... really don't think about it, Do you want to stay and help me?"
He said sincerely: "The prosperous age is approaching, and I need a controller of the rivers and lakes, a law enforcer of the night. Wuyin, if you nod your head, you will be the king of the night!"
Shui Wuyin had to admire the king's magnanimity. She had offended him to this extent, but he still wanted to recruit her.
Moreover, such conditions can be promised.
"Your Majesty is not angry at the common people for offending you?"
"My anger cannot extinguish your talents." Yu Qiankun took two steps forward with his hands behind his back: "Wuyin, my actions may be ruthless, but... I have no regrets. The world's hegemony is in my hands. I need it." Absolute control. I know that I lack virtue, but for the sake of world hegemony, I have to do this."
"I have done this before, and I will do it again in the future. All I want is a meritorious service that lasts for eternity, and an imperial glory that no one can match. And on this basis, I will be able to give you as much scope as you have in terms of your ability. As long as there is no rebellion, I will use everyone's talents to the fullest! Even if this person scolds me bloody behind his back, I will use his talents instead of angering his mouth. "
"I am ruthless, but it is precisely because of my ruthlessness that I treat every courtier impartially. Wuyin, stay!"
Shui Wuyin's body stopped at the door of the hall, he was silent for a long time, and said lightly: "Your Majesty may not know that the grassroots were loyal to Master Feng Zun back then; with Master Feng Zun, they had a friendship of eight worshippers, and they were just brothers in life and death." The other nine people, including Mr. Yun Zun, were not recognized by the common people. After Mr. Feng Zun left, he was praised by Mr. Yun Zun and invited him again and again. It happened that the two of us had a common wish, which was to serve Feng Zun. Your Majesty takes revenge, so we can go the same way and have no regrets on the same journey."
"To put it bluntly, Mr. Yun Zun is worthy of my brother, and it goes without saying that he is entrusted with life and death. Among the nine deities, the common people only recognize these two brothers, and the rest are really insignificant."
There was a hint of pride in his voice: "I don't know whether your majesty believes it or not. If I, Shui Wuyin, wanted to be rich and powerful in the officialdom, I would have been able to achieve my dream more than ten years ago; even if I could not have all the power, It is not difficult to find a high position in the world."
"I, Shui Wuyin, regard myself as a grass-folk, with a white body; but... please don't forget, Your Majesty; the grass-folks are the brothers of Feng Zun and Yun Zun, and can also be regarded as the brothers of Tu Zun and Water Zun; if the grass people can still be in the future, It's my honor to meet your Majesty again, but for the sake of human ethics, I hope your Majesty will call you uncle."
After saying that, he strode away boldly.
Shui Wuyin couldn't control his temper anymore and spoke this last part angrily.
From the beginning to the end, Yu Qiankun never called Yun Xiaoyao "uncle"; even when it came to being plotted and killed, he only called him King Xiaoyao!
He is King Xiaoyao and you are the emperor. In other words, you are still the boss
Tell me about righteousness and sacrifice, then I will talk to you about human relations and seniority!
I admire your ability and your mind, but I look down on your character! You are an emperor, but you are only an emperor, you are no longer a human being.
But I'm still human!
The water passed away without a sound, and there was even more evaluation in my heart.
Jade Qiankun is a generation of emperors, which is enough. On the surface, he is magnanimous, approachable, courteous and virtuous, all of which are there, but in fact, he is cold-hearted and hypocritical.
As he himself said: "A heartless person."
Generally speaking, an emperor can give everything and sacrifice everything for his country; but he will still want to have other things, such as loyalty, family affection, love, and all beautiful things.
What they lost can be called sacrifice and dedication.
This kind of sacrifice and dedication is great and necessary.
For example, Yu Peize, the previous monarch of the Yutang Empire and the grandfather of Yu Qiankun, endured the humiliation and worked hard for the sake of the Yutang world, even risking his own life, so that he could save the wealth and lives of all the old officials. This is sacrifice, this is the embodiment of friendship! .
But Jade Universe is different.
In his eyes, he only has his country and his imperial power. Apart from these, everything can be given up, including family ties, love, everything, everything is like this!
Yes, just give up!
In the eyes of an emperor like Yu Qiankun, as long as the throne is still there and the country is still there, no matter what you give up, it doesn't matter!
I won’t feel uneasy, I won’t feel distressed, and I won’t be reluctant to leave!
In Yu Peize's eyes, a minister needs to have ability, character, and loyalty. Once the minister makes a big mistake, even if it is a capital crime, he will find a way to spare him and let him live.
After all, this minister has made contributions to the Yutang world for a considerable part of his life. Those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who are guilty will be punished, but there is still room for mercy!
In the eyes of Yu Qiankun, a minister only needs to be capable. It doesn't matter what his character is, whether he is good or bad. And once a minister makes a mistake, he will be executed without hesitation!
There will never be any hesitation just because this minister has made great contributions to the empire!
If you have made great contributions, I will reward you greatly. If you make a big mistake, I will punish you severely!
There is no such thing as atonement for one’s sins.
In short, he has no pity factor!
This is a fundamental difference, an essential difference.
Shui Wuyin saw this, and Yun Yang naturally saw it too.
Shui Wuyin came back without any tracking. It seems that this selfish emperor did not give up his intention to recruit Shui Wuyin; he knew very well that even if he got the list, when it came to seriously controlling and commanding these people, But it's still impossible.
Unless he kills all these people.
But it is obviously impossible to kill them all. As long as one of these people dies, the others will disappear in an instant like water evaporating in this world!
This is the power of the Nine Heavens Order.
It is for this reason that he urgently needs Shui Wuyin to continue to control the power of the Nine Subordinates. Until one day, he cultivates another person who can replace Shui Wuyin, and he will deal with Shui Wuyin. , dealt with without mercy.
But before that, Shui Wuyin would stay no matter what his attitude was, and he would always show a high profile, be approachable at all times, and be harmless to humans and animals.
Jade Qiankun in the palace is also reflecting.
"I'm very surprised. When Shui Wuyin first came in, during the initial communication, I clearly felt that he admired me very much. But which sentence made him suddenly turn this appreciation into Another emotion? Resentment, even anger!"
Yu Qiankun carefully considered every word he said.
Gray mist emerged and said: "It is true that something went wrong with what His Majesty said later, but which sentence it was, I didn't expect it either."
"Until the words 'Wuyin, I believe in you, stay and help me!', Shui Wuyin's feeling of appreciation still remained. But starting from this sentence, Shui Wuyin changed the topic, and his attitude was The whole journey took a turn for the worse and was out of control.”
Yu Qiankun recalled: "Is there anything wrong with this sentence?"
Gray fog is also puzzled by this.
Logically speaking, if an emperor says these words to his subjects, what he deserves most is the total allegiance and wholehearted support.
But what happened to Shui Wuyin
Just because he feels that he is the brother of Fengyun Erzun and should have the honor of being the elder of the emperor? !
"I think I know..." A cold light flashed in Yu Qiankun's eyes.
"What?" Hui Wu was still confused.
But Yu Qiankun stopped explaining and changed the subject: "Mr. Qiao, what do you think Shui Wuyin came to do today? Has my Ninth Uncle returned?"
Regarding this issue, Hui Wu was also hesitant and found it difficult to do so.
At this point, before Shui Wuyin arrived, he was almost certain that Yun Zun would come to Tianxuan again.
But now, after Shui Wuyin arrived, the situation that should have been clear has become abnormally confusing again.
Especially the six-word agreement.
Too harsh.
"If Uncle Ninth really comes again, what are you going to do? Do you have a plan to deal with it?" Yu Qiankun frowned.
Hui Wu smiled faintly: "His Majesty has promoted us, or maybe you underestimated your Ninth Uncle. When Yun Zun was in the mainland, he was indeed powerful and uprooted our Tiandao Sheji Sect, but he was not very powerful. It is unshakable. With my strength of more than ten thousand years of cultivation, who will win is still undecided."
"But now, even though my strength far exceeds the so-called peak in this world, and my soul body is almost immune to all harm... But after all, your Ninth Uncle has already become an immortal and ascended... If Lord Yunzun really comes down, the most I can do is There is less than half a chance of killing him, and the remaining 95% means that I will be killed by him, without hurting both sides or worrying about each other."
Gray fog sighed.
He had already thought about this sentence and this matter countless times, so he didn't lie. This was what he thought. Although his confidence was pitiful, he still had some confidence.
Yu Qiankun frowned: "King Xiaoyao is really dead?"
"It's absolutely true." Hui Wu said: "And Lin Yunlong and those people have also been dealt with."
Jade Qiankun breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes complex.
Hui Wu said: "Your Majesty, do you have any regrets?"
Jade Qiankun was silent for a long time and said: "It's just a bird hiding behind its bow. For the sake of world hegemony, nothing can't be sacrificed. A little human affection is just the source of disturbing the mood. What I'm looking forward to now is just a battle between you and Uncle Jiu."
Hui Wu solemnly said: "I will go all out in this battle!"
Yu Qiankun exhaled a long breath and said: "What will happen to you if you win?"
"No matter what, if Yun Zun is annihilated, the world will surely fall into trouble again, and I will continue to stand on your majesty's side and help you to bring peace to the world again. My ability is far greater than the original nine... This is what your majesty should do. You won’t doubt it.”
Jade Qiankun nodded slowly.
"What if you fail?"
"If I fail, of course I will be annihilated by Master Yun Zun." Hui Wu laughed bitterly: "How can I still want to do something?"
"I don't believe what you said. With Mr. Qin's sophistication, how could he not leave a backup plan?"
"So, I will look forward to your return." Yu Qiankun smiled lightly: "I just don't know whether my ninth uncle will really come down and return to the mortal world, and what level his strength will be. number."
"Actually, it's easy to test whether Yun Zun has come down." Hui Wu said: "You only need to drag Mei Wenjian to the execution ground and behead him, and you will know whether Yun Zun has come."
"Yes, that's a good idea."
Jade Qiankun is thoughtful.
After Yun Xiaoyao left the palace, Lao Mei was restrained by Yun Xiaoyao and temporarily unable to move. However, during this gap, she was taken to the palace by Yu Qiankun and imprisoned. From being temporarily unable to use force, she became completely unable to use force.
For Yu Qiankun, sacrificing Lao Mei... well, a mere palace steward is really not a big deal.
If Yun Zun comes back, he will naturally be rescued. But if Yun Zun doesn't come back, then Lao Mei will die.
Hui Wu felt a little sad for Jade Universe.
"Your Majesty... you are really decisive. I have lived in this world for more than ten thousand years and experienced so many dynasties. There are only a few people who can be like your Majesty. If your ninth uncle really comes back, what will happen to you is really unimaginable! "
Yu Qiankun said thoughtfully: "The ultimate is to give me a beating... or there may be other punishments; but Uncle Jiu will not kill me no matter what. I am sure of this."
Hui Wu sneered: "That's not necessarily the case."
Yu Qiankun said lightly: "I may be a little cruel, but since I took charge, the wealth of the world has quadrupled in the past few years, and the people of the world have also recovered from the war. The population is even higher than before the war. There has been an increase. Now in the whole world, everyone has food to eat and clothing to wear; everyone with a better family situation will have a scholar; they will not be unable to read a basket of Chinese characters."
"And these are things that no previous emperors have ever done."
Jade Qiankun said: "I know that I may have failed as a human being, but I think I am still qualified to be an emperor. Now that the prosperous age is approaching, I am only a teenager, and I have a lot of time to push this country to prosperity. At the pinnacle, I can achieve unprecedented achievements in this country; I can establish a great dynasty that is unprecedented and unprecedented!"
"For all of this, even if I abandon something, sacrifice something, or use some means, it is all worth it."
"I just need the right to speak."
"Uncle Jiu, you will understand me! You will also support me!"
Yu Qiankun's voice is enthusiastic, but his eyes are calm; he understands all his plans; and his life is already running on the route of this plan.
Impossible to stop!
Gray fog was speechless.
Looking at Jade Qiankun who is full of confidence, even Hui Wu, a ten thousand year old ghost, has to admit that this is indeed a peerless emperor's talent.
The achievements he just mentioned are not false. And it's just the beginning of his reign. If this continues, the world will definitely become a better place. This is something that no one in Gray Mist can deny.
However, the price for obtaining all this is the absolute ruthlessness of an emperor.
As he said himself, all he wants is merit.
"Your Majesty, maybe... you don't regret it now, but when you are old... you will definitely have regrets."
Yu Qiankun closed his eyes and said calmly: "Who can live without regrets in this life?!"
…
