"—This thing... It's hard to say, simple, not easy... But if it's mass-produced, I dare to say that under the compulsion of death, it's only a matter of time before others want to imitate it."
The officials didn't respond to her words, but the faces of the common people turned even paler. They couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if something like this fell on them, in the fields and in the academy!
Gong Yimo looked straight ahead and sighed, "But this thing is also very good, I use it to dig a canal, and the time in six or seven years can be shortened by more than half! So, I am standing here by boat now... Not only that, It can build roads, open mountains, and mine... There are countless uses, but it can kill people even more.”
She smiled bitterly and looked at Gong Sheng, who had been silent for a long time, "So, Your Majesty, you can be jealous, angry, or whatever! I won't hand over this thing when the moral standards of the world are not up to standard. , don't you think about how many children and how many concubines you have? You may be able to hold back when you are here, but what about when you are not? Will their ambitions be smaller than yours? A single evil thought is enough to tear this fertile land apart... "
After speaking, she bowed deeply in the direction of the common people.
"Before, I lied to everyone that it was my own ability to break mountains and rivers, and in order to continue digging, I lied to everyone that it was a canal repaired by the sky! I admit it, now that Lou Ye is here to commit the crime, and the war is imminent, I do not want to hand over this. It's all right for everyone to blame me, but my Gong Yimo swears here! What we don't have, and no other country will have... This oath can be learned from heaven and earth! If you violate it, you will not die. abandoned!"
Speaking of which, she knelt down with her clothes turned up, lowered her head, and said deeply in remorse.
"Please forgive me, my Gong Yimo is guilty, but I don't want to contribute to the war. My Gong Yimo is guilty, and I have caused the prince to fall into such a situation, and his life and death are unknown! My Gong Yimo is guilty, and the younger brother of Jiuhuang cannot be affected because of me. Rescue!"
She spoke louder and louder, as if she was reading a book of sins to the sky! It seems to be dissatisfied and resisting! Every word, every word, weeping blood! But her face was stern, as if between the lines, that deep ridicule did not exist.
Finally she smiled palely and looked at the emperor.
"And Your Majesty, my Gong Yimo is guilty, but I am willing to accept all punishments, and I am ready to face all this!
And you, are you sure you can hold it
You want my stuff, have you thought about the consequences? The ambition to unify the Central Plains and the struggle for imperial power are likely to sink countless people into fire and water because of your single thought! These consequences, at the moment when your ambition is inflated, have you really considered it? Are your actions really worthy of the people of Dawn? "
Gong Sheng's face was pale, and he couldn't get off the stage. He looked at the people below. At this time, they all forgot their fear and looked straight at him, as if their own will would decide their life and death.
But he can't! If he has never seen the power of gunpowder, he can comfort himself that others are exaggerating, but if he really sees it, it doesn't matter if he can't get it, but what if it is obtained by people from other countries? !
He had to think about it!
What oath, what commitment, he can't do it, but Gong Yimo can do it by a woman
Unless she's almost dead!
Gong Yimo stood up slowly and looked at Gong Sheng's eyes that contained murderous intent. She felt a pain in her heart, and tears could not help falling from her eyes...
"Father... Do you still remember that I am your daughter?!"
"I used to be your favorite daughter! To make you smile... How many things have I done? All kinds of things in the past, you... remember!"
Her father's voice was obviously not loud, but it was heartbreaking and moved many people. She was like an ordinary girl seeking father's love. Tears!
They don't understand why the princess is so good, why the princess is dedicated to the people, and her starting point is also good, but at this time, she stands on the opposite side of the emperor and bears the persecution of the entire imperial power alone
This is not right, the princess is not wrong!
Gong Sheng felt a pain in his heart, but he turned his eyes away, not daring to look at her.
This is not his biological daughter, but Gong Sheng can't deny that the friendship he has bet on this daughter is much more than all his biological daughters combined!
But... why didn't she believe him
When it comes to the word "trust", Gong Sheng smiled bitterly, yes, he couldn't believe that Gong Yimo would keep this weapon for the rest of his life and use it for him all the time. Isn't that the case with Gong Yimo? She couldn't trust herself either, for fear of causing chaos in the world.
Both of them are out of consideration for the world, but they can only oppose each other.
She and he both knew this cognition, this is an unsolvable dead end!
Gong Yimo finally wiped away her tears. At this time, her sad and gloomy appearance made many neutral ministers feel unbearable. They couldn't help but think that there are so many husbands in the world, but they are comparable to this child and her. few
Gong Sheng spoke slowly after a while.
"Your three complaints, I... have received them."
Gong Yimo showed grief on his face, bowed down and bowed to the end.
"But I still have three wishes, and I want His Majesty's permission."
Gong Sheng choked slightly.
"… you say."
"The first wish, these ordinary people in the city are all blinded by me and escorted me here. They are innocent. I hope Your Majesty will not hold them accountable and allow them to enter the city."
When many scholars heard Gong Yimo, the first thing that came to their mind was them, but someone burst into tears, and I don't know who shouted.
"Princess benevolence! We are willing to follow!"
"Swear to follow!"
Gong Yimo smiled in relief, but did not look at them, Gong Sheng nodded and agreed.
With this nod, even though some ministers were afraid that Gong Yimo would come in, the gates of the city were opened, and the people who were tired from the journey could finally enter the city to rest, but they were all silent, no one expressed happiness, and no one was here. It's time to rebel against Gong Yimo's intentions.
Seeing that the common people were able to enter the city, Gong Yimo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly.
"Second wish... I don't know if the prince is alive or dead now. I hope the father and emperor can let the queen take care of him, and recognize the credit of the prince and give him the honor he deserves."
Thinking of the child he used to threaten Gong Yimo before, Gong Cheng felt ashamed. As a father, he was so ruthless, but as a younger sister, Gong Yimo was able to do this for him... Gong Che may be unfortunate, but Because of Gong Yimo, how lucky is he
So he nodded and agreed to the second thing.
Gong Yimo smiled, her pale little face was bloodless, she only spat out the blood in her heart a few days ago, but now she is still holding on for the safety of others.
"The third thing... Gong Jue is innocent... He has been lonely since he was a child. I am the only one who takes care of him. In the future, I hope that the royal father can take over this responsibility, and don't let him be alone again."
Gong Sheng nodded solemnly, but after he nodded, he immediately felt something was wrong!
