Red Heart Survey

The emperor on the throne remained silent.

The civil and military officials in the hall were all watching their hearts and minds, and everyone was looking at their toes.

There was no other sound in the huge Sanqing Xuandu Emperor's Palace.

Luqiu Wenyue's hands, which had placed their sons in the world, slowly sank. She seemed to be unable to bear the weight of the list, and was bent down by it: "I was selected by the emperor and trusted by the world. I was proud of my talent and wanted to fill the sea. I used the power of the central government, but I couldn't do my best. I exhausted the treasury of the country, but I couldn't manage the overall situation. As a result, elite soldiers and famous generals were lost in one night. A hundred years of accumulation was swallowed up by the raging waves. It's my fault!"

Today was a very rare grand court meeting with the presence of the four great heavenly masters.

Song Huai, the Eastern Heavenly Master, Ying Jianghong, the Southern Heavenly Master, Yu Xi, the Western Heavenly Master, and Wu Daoyou, the Northern Heavenly Master, they had other seats besides the officials, each sitting on the golden bridge of the Milky Way on both sides of the hall. To show that they supervised the affairs of the court, but were detached from the outside.

The Heavenly Master is the one who teaches the emperor and guards the gate of heaven for the world!

Since the existence of Taoism, it has been responsible for the existence of the present world and the nobles.

Although it is not as good as before, there are other countries outside the Dao Kingdom, and there are other sects outside the Dao Gate. But the status of the Heavenly Master is still unquestionable within the Dao Kingdom.

It should be noted that even Jin Wang Ji Xuanzhen can only stand in the royal family line in the Sanqing Xuandu Emperor's Palace.

He is the first person in the royal family today, and a legitimate prince.

Prime Minister Dajing confessed his crimes, and none of the officials said a word, and none of the royal family nobles said a word.

At this time, Yu Xi, the Western Heavenly Master, who was wearing a gorgeous Taoist robe with gold and jade colors, stood up and left the table, walked down the golden bridge, and walked into the hall.

Among the four contemporary Heavenly Masters, he looks the youngest, with handsome features, a very good complexion, and a noble posture when he moves.

He just crossed the ranks of officials and walked in front of Luqiu Wenyue under the eyes of the emperor.

Prime Minister Luqiu Wenyue bowed but did not stand up.

Celestial Master Yu Xi stood in front of her, facing the officials with his back to the emperor.

He said, "If the names of the soldiers are the charges, then there are more than these."

As he spoke, he held a book in his hand and threw it on the list held by Luqiu Wenyue.

This is also a list, but also a blood account!

There was only a slight sound when the lists collided. But in this silent hall, it was too loud.

The cover reads -

"List of Soldiers Lost in the Mystery World"

This is the list of Dou'e Army soldiers who were lost in the Mystery World in this Jinghai War, with a total of 32,721 people.

Even with Jiang Wang erecting the Star Tower to show the way, Diaohai Tower to support, Qi State letting them go, and Jing State Tianjiao to support them, so many Dou'e Army soldiers scattered in the maze still died in battle - in fact, only a strong army like Dou'e, the elite among the elite, could not be completely destroyed when the commander died, the organization was broken up, and fell into the maze. Instead, they broke up into pieces and returned one team at a time. Crossing nests and seas, crossing life and death, people kept dying along the way, and people kept moving forward, and finally crossed many obstacles and returned home.

This reflects the quality of the soldiers of each soldier. It is the military soul of the Dou'e Army formed by all the strong wills.

In the past, the famous general of Dajing was in the Que, commanding the strongest army in the world, leading 100,000 people, climbing the ancient sky road, and suppressing the sea. How majestic it was!

The number of 100,000 is the full staffing of the Dou'e Army, and the actual number of people going on the expedition is about 110,000.

After the overturning of the sea and the killing in the world of confusion, only 16,366 people returned from the world of confusion.

Until yesterday, the last Dou'e Army soldier trapped in the world of confusion was brought back to Tianjing City by Xu San from Daluo Mountain - Jingguo did not give up any Jingguo people.

But the Tianjiao who carried wine in the green gourd also had broken hands and feet, 71 wounds all over his body, and is now unconscious in the medical pavilion.

Yesterday, all the soldiers returned, so there was a grand court meeting today.

It's time to make a summary of everything!

But...

Where to start?

Should we talk about the political stability and harmony of Jingguo in recent years, the empire that many people call "old" is pruning itself, the expansion of the demon world, the great victory of the Central Empire in the grassland, and the political achievements of Luqiu Wenyue, who was named "the first female prime minister among the countries"?

Or will a big defeat overturn everything?

The civil and military officials in the hall are all speechless.

Today, Yu Xi added more charges to Luqiu Wenyue's guilt, and he was not only asking about Luqiu Wenyue!

The king and the prime minister are one in promoting politics.

Asking the prime minister openly, and the emperor secretly.

The prime minister is already of low talent, is the emperor of low virtue?

At the beginning, Emperor Jingwen was able to take back the power of various prefectures and centralize power in the central government, making the 49 prefectures of Jingguo, Shangfu, Daofu, Yuanfu, and Lingfu, all twisted into one. Can the current Emperor Jing let go?

Nothing is impossible.

Just like when Emperor Jing Taizu used Tianjing City to sit in the Gate of Ten Thousand Monsters, fought against the monster clan, and cut the monster veins alone; Emperor Jingwen held alliances with various parties, held a knife to divide the cake, and slaughtered the interests of the monster world; when it came to Emperor Jingqin, he had to open a secondary gate for the five countries, so that the Gate of Ten Thousand Monsters was actually shared by the world.

Times have always changed, and the past and the present are similar!

When the Western Heavenly Master started to question, there were not many people in the entire Sanqing Xuandu Emperor Palace who could talk to him.

Naturally, someone would speak for the prime minister.

But Luqiu Wenyue did not wait for others to speak.

"Yes, it is not just these, nor are it just the names added by the Heavenly Master, nor are it just the warriors who died in the vast sea, the world of confusion, and the sea."

She did not blame anyone, but accepted it fully: "In today's world, countries are fighting against each other, and all heroes are fighting together. If we don't advance, we will retreat. Our failure this time has broken our muscles and bones. What you can see is a living name, but what you can't see is Countless resources, so much manpower and material resources have been used in the central empire, and the planning for many years has come to nothing. Is it not the fault of the planner? As the Prime Minister of Da Jing, I am responsible for the world, and I can neither help the world and the people, nor defeat the enemy outside? , the blame does not end with this? "

Heavy rosters upon heavy rosters.

Some dead, raised others dead.

This heavy weight made Lu Qiu Wenyue's hands sink down again.

But at this moment, she raised her head, bowed, looked up at the distinguished Master Xitian, and asked: "Master Xitian, I am going to perform a great ceremony. Do you want to accept my bow?"

Yu Yi was slightly startled, then stepped sideways and moved away from the position in front of Lu Qiu Wenyue, so that there was no longer an obstacle to the line of sight between the emperor and Lu Qiu Wenyue.

Lu Qiu Wenyue bent down and placed the two rosters on the ground in a regular manner, as if he had set up tombs for those soldiers who could not return home.

Then she took a step back and bowed to the end: "After thirty years of studying hard in the cold window, I know that the skills are outside the book; for fifty years of officialdom, I didn't realize that there are mountains outside the mountains. Looking back on the past, I said to the king, I want to To be a king, to realize the plan of Liuhe. Looking back on the past, we have a big dream. Our hearts are as high as the sky, our lives are thinner than the paper, and our chess is more than one move away. The Jinghai plan started from Lu Qiu Wenyue, and it also started from Lu. Qiu Wen is over!"

She fell directly to the ground and prostrated herself: "My lord! Beg to die!"

This is the highest etiquette.

Completely give up your life, dignity, and everything accumulated in this life's struggle, and become a fish on the chopping block and a death row prisoner on the rack.

Yu Yi really couldn't bear this kind of etiquette, even if he was the Master of the West, even if he represented Yujing Mountain today.

Only the emperor can accept this worship from the prime minister.

Yu Yu's concession showed the supreme imperial power.

The prime minister of Jingguo must bear the responsibility with his life and atone for his sins with his death!

This is equivalent to taking all the responsibility for the failure of the entire Jinghai plan on himself.

The palace is full of civil and military officials, and everyone is moved.

At this time, a tall figure took a step forward and walked out of the queue: "I have an appointment with you, I have a performance!"

Taiyuan Zhenren Lou Yue is a famous hero in the world, but in today's Sanqing Xuandu Palace, his status and strength are not enough, so he cannot speak freely like Yu Yu. If you have something to say in your heart, you must "invite and then play it out."

There was no sound from Danbi. The emperor acquiesced to his speech.

Lou Yue then turned around, faced Lu Qiu Wenyue's figure lying on the ground, and bowed deeply: "I ask you, Prime Minister, to get up! You shoulder the responsibility of the world, bear the hope of all people, and lead hundreds of officials with virtue. How can you talk about life and death lightly? Abandoning the common people?"

Lu Qiu Wenyue fell to the ground silently, and Yu Yu raised his eyelids.

And Lou Yue said: "Although the layout of the East China Sea has failed, who can deny the grandeur of the Jinghai Plan? We summoned the power of the Dragon Emperor's nine sons from afar and skipped a hundred years of Qi people's management. The construction of the ancient heavenly road crossed the barriers of the mysterious world and went straight to the core of the sea. . The powerful army of the Sea Clan is in vain, and all the emperors are dumbfounded! Carving eternal monuments, casting Penglai photos, and pacifying the sea has become a reality. The Dragon King of the East China Sea destroyed his home and fled - this kind of layout, this Waiting for preparations, looking at the world, how many games can we achieve?"

"Since ancient times, people have planned things, and success has depended on God. Even if the fortunes are not good, how can we criticize the Prime Minister's plan? Although this game failed, it was not lost to anyone. The Qi State was picked up at an advantage, and the Hai people were Swallowed the last straw. We lost on the board!"

"Detachment is never in the game, so who can predict the one who is detached?"

"Ao Shuyi has been in Changhe for hundreds of thousands of years. Everyone thought that he had surrendered to the human race. Who could have known that he had hidden evil intentions? He has revealed his evil intentions today. He has ruined my plans. He has revealed his intentions in the sky. I dare not even think about it! Now Yi Jing The loss of the sea and the removal of old sores on the long river will be a loss to the country of Jing but a benefit to the human race. How will this account be settled?"

"Before Jingping in the sea, who knew Ao Shuyi's heart? Before Jinghai, who could plan this situation and never suffer the danger of transcendence?"

After bowing, he straightened up and said loudly: "Those who failed to participate in the war did not know the hardships and twists and turns. Victory was already within grasp, but they were buried by those who transcended. Even though you cannot understand the depth of this heartache, I! He went to the sea with the determination to die. He didn't know that there was Penglai or the Eternal Sky Monument. The Prime Minister's secret plan was so secret. How could he be accused so lightly? Team up and return across the sea - everyone! Did we really fail to do our best in this Jinghai plan? Let me ask you, who can do it better? "

He looked around and stared at everyone: "No matter before, after, or after the incident, who can do things better than the handsome? Who can do things better than the prime minister? The whole country is working hard for one thing, and they will be exhausted as one, and After being defeated, you can only watch the fire from the other side, marveling at it and making comments!"

Whether Ao Shuyi is really hiding evil intentions and pretending to be a convert is not that important. Jingguo must be so determined.

Lou Yue stood up today, especially stood up in front of Yu Yu, defending Lu Qiu Wenyue with every word, and defending the emperor with every word. This is a clear statement of his attitude. He is indeed the most loyal imperial party.

You must know that his title of "Taiyuan Zhenren" is exactly on the Yuanshi Jade Book.

He was practicing in Yujing Mountain, and Yu Yu also gave him guidance on his practice.

If it were another situation, he would definitely be respectful to Yu Yu. But today we can only face each other head-on, speaking with the edge of a knife.

Political stance is above all other stances.

The history of Jingguo can be summed up in one sentence: the struggle between Dao power and imperial power.

Yu Xi looked at Lou Yue deeply: "Master Taiyuan, are you saying that I am reckless?"

Lou Yue stepped back and bowed again: "I dare not give instructions to the Heavenly Master rashly!"

"But you are already reckless!" Yu Xi's face turned cold, and his voice gradually became louder: "I did not participate in the battle of Canghai, but I also sat outside the sky, so that you can look east to Canghai without worrying about the back. Can't I judge your victory or defeat without participating in the battle? Can I escape responsibility if I lose the Heavenly Gate, and ask in front of all the civil and military officials in the court whether you can be better than me, do you have the ability to come?!"

At this time, Lou Yue stopped retreating, but spread his sleeves: "Master Heavenly Master! What I said is not the same as what the Heavenly Master said. At the end of a game of chess, the winner and loser are clear, and right and wrong are determined by people. Those who know chess and those who don't know chess can speak freely, and it is common for idle people to discuss national players. But this game of chess was not lost to the opponent, but the chessboard was overturned by the outsider. May I ask what is the crime of the chess player? Can you say she didn't try her best? "

"Ask the Heavenly Master again, what does this word 'crime' mean?"

He said loudly: "Mistakes are crimes, and breaking the law is a crime. I don't know what law the Prime Minister has violated, and where is his fault? The transcendent cannot be counted, discussed, or imagined. Apart from the transcendent who is not discussed, where did the Prime Minister make a poor move in this game? ! "

He added: "I want to know who can do better, and I want to know if there is a better way, a better choice? If it can benefit the country and the world, who would be willing to be poor? I blocked Cao Jie's way in the offshore islands and saw the style of the Eastern Heavenly Master in person, and was very impressed. The Eastern Heavenly Master consolidated his victory in the victory, so that the people of Qi dared not look east, and stabilized the situation in the defeat, so that the soldiers could return home-I dare to ask the Western Heavenly Master, if you were the one who went to the offshore islands at that time, could you do better, and could you save the defeat? "

Song Huai sat there, expressionless.

Of course, Yu Xi would not really compare himself with Song Huai at this time. This level of language trap is too shallow to bury a shoe sole.

He just looked at Lou Yue: "This word "guilt" is not said by me, but by Prime Minister Luqiu. Master Taiyuan, although Prime Minister Luqiu failed today, she has made great contributions. Do you want to deny her even on this point?"

"The Heavenly Master also knows that the Prime Minister has made great contributions! In the past, Taizu established a system that those who speak are not guilty, and those who do things are not guilty, so civil and military officials dare to make suggestions, and all officials dare to take on tasks." Lou Yue raised his voice: "Since Prime Minister Luqiu has never violated the law and has no faults, he failed outside the game rather than in the game, and failed because of God's will rather than human affairs, so what crime is there?"

As Lou Yue said, he actually walked forward: "The Prime Minister said it was her responsibility. If others say it was a crime, I want to ask... what is their intention!?"
