Chapter 2370: Forty-two years, nothing happened

Song Huai is too silent today!

It completely ignored the tacit understanding of the three meridians in the past, and was naturally completely different from the previous communication. He really just watched from the sidelines, and the power of Penglai Island was not reflected at all in today's court meeting——

In the context of post-war accountability, silence is support for the imperial party!

So much so that the forces of Daluo Mountain and Yujing Mountain are somewhat... unable to make a sound even if they are alone?

Yu Yi never thought that the phrase "it's hard to sing when a single palm is alone" would be related to the Yujing Mountain with a long history and intricate roots, and would happen within the Dao Kingdom!

At this moment, I don’t know whether I feel lucky or scared——

Today, none of the Eighth Commanders, except Xian Nankui, are in Beijing.

Zhang Fu was fighting in the demon world, and the other commanders of the Eight Armors had other important matters and were unable to participate in the dynasty.

Perhaps just to avoid this situation, all parties made a tacit agreement to allow Commander-in-Chief Bajia to avoid today's court dispute.

After all, the power of the Eight-Army Army is the final bottom line for all parties!

The Taoist Lord of the Three Meridians has never set foot in Tianjing City, but if Bajia's military power is shaken, this potential example may also be broken down.

The long journey of conquering soldiers gave Canghai's defeat enough time to ferment.

Yujingshan wants to take the opportunity to gain more power over the Taoist state. On this front, the interests of the three branches of the Taoist sect should be consistent... Beitian Master Wu Daoyou behaved very toughly.

But Yu Yu suddenly discovered today——

When Yujingshan wanted to gain more power from the Tao Kingdom, Yujingshan had already lost too much power from the Tao Kingdom!

Today, many of those kneeling in the central hall are people from Yujing Mountain who have sworn their vows.

Ji Fengzhou's understatement of inquiry was the result of an unknown amount of time of encroachment behind the scenes.

Within the entire Taoist national system, the three branches of the Taoist sect are of course still deeply rooted. But this Tianjing City is indeed firmly controlled by the royal family surnamed Ji.

Today, the emperor has clearly demonstrated his control over the country, from government to military, from the central to the local government... The most important thing is that the middle and lower-level military and political officials, almost all of whom are emperors, declare their loyalty to him.

Although the military and political power in all aspects of this huge central empire is not as controlled as Jiang Shu of Qi State, it is not the uncontrollable state dominated by Taoism that many people imagined.

Compared with the Taoist forces, the Imperial Party has already occupied a crushing advantage in the court situation!

In fact, despite the opposition of Wu Daoyou, the Daluoshan Celestial Master, the Jinghai Plan could be promoted so resolutely, and the Medieval Celestial Road could be rolled out so smoothly, which in itself demonstrates the advantages of imperial power within the empire.

It's just that it was not as profound as it is today. At that time, Yu Yu felt that he was not "working hard enough". When it came time to see the outcome, everything could be discussed.

Why did I find that it wasn’t working so well today after I tried so hard?

Jiang Shu, the emperor of Qi, lived for sixty-five years.

Jingtianzi Ji Fengzhou, who ascended the throne forty-two years, sat on the dragon throne in the year 3887 of the Dao calendar. Of course, he is older than Jiang Shu and has been the crown prince for a longer time. He often calls himself brother in his credential with Qi.

During the forty-two years that he held power in the world, nothing particularly notable seemed to have happened. It seemed that everything had been quiet and calm. Because he was too calm, many people believed that he had not really experienced the storm and faced the challenges.

I really want to talk about a major event.

The Canghai collapse that occurred this year is one of them.

The Jingmu War, which took place in October 3920 and ended in January 3921, was certainly one of them.

If you count further back... the "Battle of Jingguo Defeating the Guards" that took place in the 3898th year of the Dao calendar can probably be counted.

That battle directly defeated the Mu Kingdom's strategy of spreading divine grace southward, and turned Qinku Academy and Renxin Hall into sects that practiced honestly. They did not support any country clearly for many years after that, and it also once again established Jingguo's support for China. The undoubted dominance of the domain.

Weiguo, which once had strong soldiers and horses, many talented people, and great ambitions, has now been relegated to the likes of Zhongshan, Yi, and Luo. It is almost no longer mentioned, and has no sense of existence in the entire world. Just like the waves erased by Sedum, they have also become part of the still water.

There is another thing that may not be too big for Jing Guo, but it is also quite crucial——

In the 3888th year of the Dao calendar, which was the second year after Emperor Jingtian sat on the dragon throne, when his buttocks were not even hot from sitting on the throne, the first Qi-Xia War broke out.

At that time, Emperor Xia Xiang and Emperor Qi Jiang Shu wanted to take advantage of the political transition of Jing State and the instability of power to decide the ownership of hegemony in one fell swoop.

The final result is known to everyone. Jiang Shu won the hegemony with his unparalleled courage.

And many people didn’t pay much attention to it, or even if they did, they only attributed it to Jing Guo’s strength——

Ji Fengzhou used the Yitian Temple that descended from the sky to prevent the Qi State from swallowing Xia in the First World War under the city of Guiyi, which greatly delayed the expansion process of the Qi State. After that, he accepted the Xia State and continued it until the 392nd year of the Dao calendar. Zero year of worship.

Thirty-two years!

Historical records record - "Xia's wealth was often carried in cars, and the situation was endless."

Xia's "Shenwu Revival" greatly boosted Jing's treasury.

Yitian Temple cannot be built in a day. Ji Fengzhou may have paid attention to and even alerted Jiang Shu of Dongguo earlier than everyone in Jingguo.

Is that probably the first test the emperor has faced since he ascended the throne?

But it passed so quietly, as if it was not a big deal at all.

To be honest, once the Jinghai plan is successful and Jingguo surrounds the offshore area with the sea, how will Jiang Shu of the Dongguo break out of the encirclement?

Yu Yi couldn't think of it.

He has self-confidence in his spiritual practice, but he also understands that in terms of political, military and even world vision, there is no way he can compare with an immortal hero like Jiang Shu. But why would you ignore Ji Fengzhou, who has been trying to put shackles on Jiang Shu?

For so many years, Ji Fengzhou has been moving around under the attention of the entire world and under huge constraints, both at home and abroad.

He has long existed as the "Emperor of Jingguo" rather than Ji Fengzhou.

Yu Yu really didn't understand why he always subconsciously ignored this king. I always think that everything is ancestral shade. I always feel subconsciously, but that’s it.

Is it really nothing more than that?

Today may be a wake-up call!

It's just that this sound may be too heavy.

Will the emperor who sat calmly on the dragon throne and remained calm for forty-two years finally reveal his true appearance hidden in the shadow of Pingtian's beaded curtain?

At the last moment, Yu Yu indeed inspired some people to worship him.

But is that really to avoid a big break? Or is it because he himself doesn't want to see the worst possible situation?

Standing at the end of the line and standing alone is really detrimental to the morale of those Taoist officials.

There is no need to confirm the emperor’s superiority anymore!

After all, we have to move forward on the same giant ship. No matter whether the east wind prevails over the west wind or the west wind overpowers the east wind, it is all temporary. The direction of the flag sail may be left or right, but it will never pull out its own flag.

The emperor's dragon robe must always be embroidered with three colors, and the national flag of the Great Scenery must always be embroidered with the dragon in the universe.

The Tao Kingdom has been like this for four thousand years. It can also be regarded as the order of struggle of "within the Tao system, the clear and the turbid and the turbid and the turbid."

Yu Yu obeyed this order, so he decided to remain silent.

He thought that Wu Daoyou, who was also silent next to him... might have the same idea.

The entire central hall was enveloped by Ji Fengzhou's will, but he saw no sadness or joy.

"Don't I know who you are? Yan Yuchang, Dou Ningsun, Zang Ruogu..." Emperor Dajing casually called out the names, starting from the Qingdu Minister, the lowest official in the palace, to Yun Qiwei, Suining Dushuai...

He called more than a dozen names and recounted each person's achievements. He was indeed familiar with them.

It was the first time for several of them to participate in the Dajiao Conference!

Among them, the Minister of Qingdu is a civil official who compiles books, Yun Qiwei is the military officer in charge of public security in the outer city, and the Commander-in-Chief of Suining is a military position established in Jingguo City in the Demon Realm. Zang Ruogu just returned from the Demon Realm to report on his duties.

Everyone whose name was called by him burst into tears.

And he said very gently: "I know that you and others are all respected ministers, and I always remind myself not to forget the virtues of being a monarch - all my dear friends, please stay safe! We, the monarchs and ministers, will say something from the bottom of our hearts today!"

His voice was not strong at all, as if it was just a casual question, and he had just woken up and was too sleepy to see clearly.

The ministers gradually stood up and stood in the hall like a forest.

One word rises and one word falls, and the authority is in it.

The crowd was like a sea tide. In the midst of the waves, Jingtianzi spoke again: "I am very heartbroken by the defeat of Jinghai. My hatred does not lie in the failure of grand plans or great achievements. My hatred lies in the death of the commander. The tragedy of fighting. The good man died in one day, and the snow will disappear in the future. Although I have a vast world and control over thousands of miles, how can I have the chance to meet them again? "

Even Wu Daoyou frowned at this time.

I originally thought that the emperor would sit on the dragon throne until the end of time and remain silent until Ji Yumin and even Nan Tianshi fought for him with a definite result, and then he would stand up and clean up the mess. But he suddenly spoke and showed a rare fist, showing his control over the court situation.

I thought that after he showed his power, he wanted to suppress the aftermath of Jinghai and forcefully silence the voices dissatisfied with Jinghai's defeat, but he took the initiative to mention Jinghai's defeat!

It's really a bit unpredictable.

The voice of Jingtianzi who came down from the throne was slightly sad: "Prime Minister, I built the ancient road to heaven, but it was shattered in the sky. I built an eternal monument in the sky, but I married someone else. This is something no one expected. How can it be that you alone are responsible for this? You lie down and beg for death, hurting my heart. Before our grand plans were completed and our ideals were not realized, are you going to abandon me?"

Lu Qiu Wenyue held both rosters in her arms and burst into tears: "I am deeply saddened and can't think about it. I just want to give an explanation to those soldiers who cannot return home, but I don't know what else to explain. Make plans and plan things. All failed, but the whole world was confused by God's will. Although the world is vast, I don't know what I can do with this body.

Some of the ministers felt the same, some were sad and shed tears, and some looked at them coldly, feeling that the performance of this pair of kings and prime ministers was too emotional.

"The Prime Minister is not the Prime Minister who takes the blame, so how can I be the one who takes the blame?"

Jing Tianzi said: "Emperor Wu is responsible for the country, and governing the emperor is for the people. He acts as the supreme king and takes responsibility for the world. It is nothing more than opening up the inheritance of the ancestors and caring for the people of the world. Opening up the territory, expanding the territory, and enriching the people."

"We are defeated now!"

"If it weren't for the officers and men not using their lives, or the Prime Minister not planning the situation well, it's because I don't have enough shoulders to shoulder the responsibility."

"These names you are holding in your arms are all my people. I sent them to war, but I couldn't take them home. I promised them merit, but I could only give them tombs. Isn't this my responsibility?"

The emperor's voice was high up but in his ears: "If anyone is guilty...it is my fault!"

The whole hall held their breath for a moment.

Yu Xi seized on Canghai's failure to fight hard, and Wu Daoyou forced the emperor to abdicate, probably seeking this result, but this was really different from what they expected.

"Master Yu, Master Wu, I have always respected you and treated you as my elders." Emperor Jing said slowly: "Now we are talking behind closed doors - should the contradictions in our family be exposed and laughed at by the world?"

"Your Majesty." Wu Daoyou bowed his hands and saluted: "We are discussing state affairs today, and I am just discussing the facts."

"Discussing the facts... That's right!" Emperor Jing said: "I will immediately issue a self-blame edict to inform the world and warn myself."

"Your Majesty, you can't do it!" Lou Yue stopped loudly: "The Holy Emperor is arbitrary and his words are the laws of heaven, and his actions are the norms of heaven. How can he be wrong? If it is not auspicious, it is the ominousness of heaven. How can I blame the emperor!?"

The emperor on the throne just waved his hand: "I am guilty. The crime is that I care about great achievements and despise the soldiers, the crime is that I waste the national strength, the crime is that I act alone, and the crime is... arrogant and disrespectful to the Dragon King!"

Song Huai, who had been sitting silently all the time, raised his eyes in astonishment!

Emperor Jing continued, "My disrespect to the Dragon King is not due to disrespect for etiquette, but because I do not respect His ideals and emotions, and I take His hundreds of thousands of years of silence for granted. A hundred years is like a mayfly crossing the ocean. Even the Human Emperor of Lieshan respected His emotions, but I thought He could manipulate me with interests, honor, and life and death. This is really the greatest arrogance!"

Yu Xi was really surprised. He was surprised again and again today. He has been at the top for so many years and has been a heavenly master for so many years. He almost watched Ji Fengzhou become the emperor. But he seemed to have never really understood this king-

The emperor was actually examining his mistakes, not just perfunctorily!

How many people in the world can face up to their own mistakes?

Moreover, he is the emperor who is used to deciding life and death with a single word and no one dares to disobey!

Moreover, he is the monarch of the Central First Empire!

"...I should always take the previous warnings as if I were standing on the edge of a deep water, restrain myself and reflect on myself, and always think about the people."

The Emperor of Jingguo had walked to the front of the throne and to Luqiu Wenyue without knowing when.

The mountains and rivers were embroidered on the dragon robe, and the flat crown was like a burden on the country.

He raised his hand and gently covered the two lists held by Luqiu Wenyue, sighing: "I should be vigilant and not let the regret of Canghai happen again."

Ji Yumin, the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, said sadly: "——My Emperor!"

The whole hall was full of praises of "My Emperor!".

When the voice calmed down, the emperor said again: "Luqiu Wenyue retired to recuperate, and allowed him to retire. I will give him a large house in the south of Beijing and the Taoist Temple of the Heart of Heaven, and I hope he will no longer worry about it."

Luqiu Wenyue lowered his head: "Your servant——Thank God for your grace!"

Yu Xi didn't know what he felt for a while.

The king issued an edict of self-blame, and the prime minister retired - there is probably no greater responsibility than this. When he first stood up on behalf of Yujing Mountain to discuss the responsibility, he just asked for a high price and paid it back. He probably never thought of this result.

He suddenly remembered that when he left Yujing Mountain, he said he would seize the opportunity to fight for more rights for Yujing Mountain. The Taoist only said to him - "You are a cultivator."

At that time, he thought that the Taoist was admonishing him to focus on cultivation.

Now think about it, the words of the headmaster of a great country are quite meaningful!

In the hall, the emperor's voice said again: "The country cannot be without a prime minister. The deputy prime minister Shi Zizhan, who has been virtuous and trusted by me, will succeed him."

This deputy prime minister, who has almost no sense of existence and has always been hidden under the light of Luqiu Wenyue and "willing to be a running dog", is a middle-aged scholar with ordinary appearance. He just walked out slowly and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, I accept the order!"

The emperor continued: "Daishan King Ji Jinglu, I know his ability. Douji has no master, Jinglu will take it."

Ji Jinglu also stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, I accept the order!"

For positions such as Prime Minister Dajing and the commander of the eight jia, the appointment must be reported to the Taoist Master, and at least "virtuous and trusted by the people" and "the world is at peace". At least let the former prime minister mention it, and the officials will recommend it a little...

Why is "virtuous and trusted by me" enough now?

Especially Daishan King Ji Jinglu, who is just a rich and noble prince, and has not really proved himself in the military. For such an important position as the commander of the eight jia, you know his ability, can you convince everyone?

But under the premise that the king issued an edict of self-blame and the prime minister retired, neither Yujing Mountain nor Daluo Mountain could say anything.

The emperor has taken such responsibility, what else do you want?

Don't bully the emperor too much!

Yu Xi's face was not red at all, and Wu Daoyou had no expression.

And the emperor said at this time: "People judge heroes by success or failure, and I think it is not wrong."

He raised his voice to the civil and military officials: "One day I will rule the world, and today's defeat can show that the holy emperor is magnanimous in adversity. One day I will die and the flag will be broken, and the emperor's robe will be stained with blood. It can also be said that today's defeat has already begun!"

He turned around and left the hall.

Only the long voice of the ceremonial officer sounded in the air: "Retreat-court!"

The voice circled many times and retreated with the retreat of the officials.

The central hall became so quiet for a while.

The earlier thrilling seemed to have never existed.

Just like the past 42 years.

Today, nothing happened in Jingguo.
