Chapter 731 The future you want
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!"
The moment Li Yucheng picked up the gilded national seal, a series of shouts sounded in the silent hall. These voices were either calm or urgent, and carried an unquestionable admonishment.
There are actually very few people in the court who are still affiliated with the sect, and those who speak out are mostly from the royal party and the prime minister party.
Yes, there are also partisans.
They were eager to stop the prince from pressing the seal of the imperial seal on the vermilion letter. When Xu Yuan turned his gaze across them, these people did not give in at all.
betray?
It doesn’t really count.
From ancient times to the present, there have been different voices everywhere, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is no exception. Suddenly seeing this memorial, which represents disaster, it is not difficult to guess that the moderates in the Xiang Party were furious like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
Because this is war.
A war that threatens to devastate all life in the world.
But now, these voices are actually not important. Now that Li Yucheng has picked up the gilded national seal, he will not stop because of the words of advice. After decades of supervising the country, this man has finally developed some of the courage to be the future leader of the dynasty.
Holding the national seal, Li Yucheng raised his eyes and glanced at the officials in the hall. His voice was slow, calm and firm:
"My lords, when my father was still the King of Qin, he taught me the way of the world. As a king, you should give up your life to create a prosperous world for all people. My father made this wish and devoted it to his life. I will never forget it day and night. , I have been working hard for the safety of all people for more than 20 years, but do you think the world can be called a peaceful and prosperous era? "
The noise in the hall fell silent slightly. Li Yucheng lowered his eyes, gently smoothed the wrinkles on the letter on the case with his fingertips, brushed the blood-stained handwriting on the letter, and said:
"This question was asked by Xu Xiang when he first met his father. The father replied that there was prosperity but no peace. Why do you think it is so great? The country has been in ruins for thousands of years. It is strong on the outside but rotten on the inside. Even though the emperor settled in the Western Desert. Even if we put down the barbarian rebellion in the north, kill the bandits of the East China Sea, and start the Jiajing Dynasty, we still cannot get rid of the original conclusion!"
The prince's voice was resounding and could not be questioned.
The front of the palace was silent for a moment because of these words.
Li Yucheng held the imperial seal with a slight trembling, leaned gently towards the imperial memorial on the case, and took a deep breath:
"Gu, I hope that after a hundred years, the people of Dayan will not be poisoned by bandits and monsters, and the children of Dayan will be able to walk freely on the streets. Even if I give up my blood and bones, I still want to see this peaceful and prosperous age!"
Xu Yuan listened silently to the words echoing in the empty and lonely hall, with no real expression in his lowered eyes.
Li Yucheng's words inexplicably reminded him of the Prime Minister's Palace, and of the side hall his father had prepared for the current Emperor Li Yaoxuan above the palace.
If there was more time, if God could provide more generosity to the previous generation, the royal family in front of him would become a benevolent king in the future that does not exist.
A gentleman is boundless, a benevolent gentleman who can swallow hundreds of rivers.
[After the world is pacified, let’s go see this country together]
Xu Yuan felt,
Maybe those two people back then were prepared in this way.
But it's a pity that fate plays tricks on people.
In deathly silence,
Li Yucheng's hand holding the national seal firmly but slowly pressed towards the letter representing destruction and war.
Xu Yuan also breathed out gently at this time,
With today's situation out of control, Li Yucheng is destined to end in tragedy. On the surface, it looks glamorous, and the imperial seal is given to supervise the country's administration, but in fact, it has no power to decide any major issues. Once there is any violation of the rules, those princeling ministers will become his shackles. If verbal advice is not enough, the only thing left is physical means.
thinking,
Xu Yuan's drooping eyes quietly lit up with a dark blood flame.
The next moment, a deep and deep voice came from outside the palace door:
"Your Highness, the national seal is an important matter. I hope you will consult His Majesty first."
In response to the call, Xu Yuan saw a man covered in armor. The light through the clouds reflected the darkness of the gold.
Xu Yuan met each other more than once.
The other party is the father of Wang Chengping, one of the four young men in the capital.
The commander of the imperial army, Wang Shili.
I remember that in the past, he often went to the other party's mansion to play, and the old man always looked at him with a calm and smiling look, but at this moment, the sight from under the armor was only cold.
Speaking of which, it seems that except for the idiot Li Junwu, the other two people among the four young masters in Beijing are now all standing against him.
A little sad, a little lonely.
The old man is gone, things have changed and people have changed.
Wang Shili pressed the golden sword on his waist, and almost in an instant, he reached the golden steps and came to Xu Yuan and Li Yucheng.
Li Yucheng did not raise his eyes, but his action of pressing the national seal remained firm.
No small talk, no communication.
There was only a sigh from an unknown source.
as well as,
Wang Shili stretched out his hand, preparing to forcibly stop Li Yucheng's hand.
The next moment,
"Buzz——"
A ray of light suddenly rose from the ground, and roared out wildly. Due to the sudden impact, all the civil and military officials were in a state of confusion. Those with low cultivation levels even flew out directly and hit the hard inner wall of the hall heavily. , blood stained the Golden Palace.
When everyone recovered from the impact of the rolling waves and looked up at the smoke-filled center regardless of the image, they only saw the commander of the imperial army who was half kneeling on the ground, and the long-haired man standing in front of him. Dancing around, calmly overlooking his third son, the prime minister.
At this moment,
Even those important ministers who had profound cultivation and were still standing in place without being affected by the impact could not understand what had just happened, but it was not that they did not see it clearly.
They clearly saw Xu Yuan holding his wrist armor with his backhand when Wang Shili, the commander of the Forbidden Army, put pressure on the prince and left. They also clearly saw the afterimage of the commander of the Forbidden Army taking action to counterattack.
But why did Xu Changtian end up standing?
You must know that the commander of the Forbidden Army is surrounded by the majestic power of the military formation at this moment. Although the Prime Minister's third son is strong in cultivation, there is no way he can compete with the military formation.
The cracks on the ground where Wang Shili was kneeling spread like a spider web over most of the Jinluan Hall, and there was an obvious dent in the gilt armor on his shoulders.
His shoulder blade was shattered.
But the gaze from under the armor was still calm. Wang Shili recalled what had just happened. Outsiders didn't know what had just happened, but as the person involved, he knew it very well.
At the moment of the confrontation, a fleeting black mist appeared around Xu Changtian, which cut off his connection with the Forbidden Army formation.
Magic?
Dao domain?
It doesn't matter anymore.
What happened just now was just a secret loss that was caught off guard. If one is prepared, one's personal strength is just a drop in the ocean in front of the military formation.
Wang Shili stood up little by little from the cracked ground, and the power of the surrounding military formation gradually condensed, causing the space around him to tremble slightly. However, when he stood firmly, he found that Xu Yuan in front of him did not look at him anymore. He looked quietly in the direction of the top of Jiulong Mountain and said in a gentle voice:
Wang Shili's eyes did not waver:
"Your Majesty's will is still undecided. I don't want to hurt your life, so please get out of the way."
Xu Yuanqing took out a breath and looked back:
"You can't touch me."
Wang Shili said nothing when he saw this, and slowly raised his hand, but at this moment, the mighty force of the military formation around him that made the space tremble was turbulent.
From the mountain behind Kunning Palace, majestic waves surge out in waves, stirring up an endless sea of flowers.
In the landscape and ink painting room, it seems that the only red dress standing on the pavilion on the top of the hill is Li Qingyan, who is looking at the Jinluan Hall in the south. His half-squinted phoenix eyes are as cold as snow, and his voice is faint:
"Mother, my brother is more courageous than I expected, but it's a pity that it's too late."
The queen stared blankly at her daughter in front of her, feeling the frightening and terrifying aura on her body. The phoenix crown shook slightly, and her palm gently fell on the Xiapei on her chest, trembling slightly:
"What are you doing?"
Li Qingyan slowly looked back and stared at the biological mother for a few breaths. The emotion in his eyes was slightly disappointed, but he still replied slowly:
"Let this world go in the direction I want to go."
The royal clan is located in the northwest of the palace city, occupying about a thousand acres of land. It is not too big, but it is one of the most stringent forbidden areas in the palace city, with almost no communication with the outside world.
After sensing what happened in the palace, a sigh quietly came from this cold place, and then an aura belonging to the saint began to spread around without any cover.
This is an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in the rich robes of a royal family, with deep helplessness on his furrowed brows.
He walked out of a quiet hall and walked towards the Jinluan Palace, which represents the imperial power. The speed of walking did not look very fast, but each step could span a hundred feet, like a ghost in the bustling Qionglou and Yuyuyu. Flashing.
He should not interfere in the government affairs, but now there are rebellious ministers who wantonly trample on the majesty of the royal family and commit the arrogant act of killing first and reporting later. As the royal family leader, he must stand up at this moment, at least to suppress the matter until Li Yaoxuan returns to Beijing.
The old man had just walked about a thousand feet, and when he arrived at Cuiwei Palace, his movements suddenly stopped.
there,
A man in white clothes sat quietly on the top of the palace, his eyes lowered, and he gently wiped the three-foot sword blade in his hand with a brocade handkerchief.
It seemed like I had been waiting for him for a long time.
In the Jinluan Hall, the holes in the dome shed a gloomy light.
The light of the gilded armor gradually faded, and Wang Shili realized what was happening now.
Someone is competing with him for control of the imperial army formation.
and,
The other party's military formation skills were at a higher level than his.
Of the people he knew, there was only one person in the entire court.
Now that the other party has taken action, it is destined that he will no longer be able to interfere in today's affairs.
There was a moment of silence,
Wang Shili retracted his raised palm, looked at Xu Yuan, and said:
"Zongzheng will not sit idly by and ignore this memorial. Even if the national seal is pressed, it is impossible to spread it out of Kowloon City."
Xu Yuan nodded lightly, bowed his head and saluted, and said:
"This will not worry Zhu Guo."
After the ceremony,
Xu Yuan turned to look at the confused ministers in the palace and said slowly:
"I didn't like the docile words, so I said it directly - I know you may think that I, Xu Changtian, is a bold and rude person, and I also know that the letter I submitted today scared some of you out of your guts."
"Indeed, with the ZTE rule of my father and His Majesty, Dayan's national destiny that was on the verge of collapse has been restarted. If everything remains as usual, it will not be difficult to continue for hundreds of years, but then what? Then believe in the wisdom of future generations, Do you believe that after thousands of years, we, Yangyang Dayan, can produce another Xu Yinhe and another Jiajing Emperor? There will be another Jiajing Dynasty restoration?
"I have thought about what you are worried about, what you are afraid of, but the sect's tax law has been poisoned by the Great Flame for thousands of years, and it has turned into a poison of blood and marrow. If you don't cut the flesh? If you don't cut the bones? How can you cure it?!"
After the voice fell, the hall was silent for only a moment.
"laugh"
A sneer sounded,
A young man who was shaken by the strong waves and vomited blood leaned back against the corner, grinning weakly with blood-stained lips:
"Xu Changtian, of course a nobleman like you won't worry about war disasters, but do you know how many common people will be displaced by wars, how many fertile fields will be burned by war, and how many innocent people will die?"
Xu Yuan looked back at the person who advised him.
Judging from his blood-stained official uniform, he seemed to be a minister of the Ministry of War.
After a moment of silence, he replied slowly:
".I know."
"You know what the heck, the barbarian war in one place has depleted the treasury accumulated for ten years, and even tens of millions of common people."
"So you always tolerate compromises? Mr. Lan, a battle between the barbarians can bring peace to the three northern continents for hundreds of years in the future, so that the people in the north don't have to worry about the barbarian troops going south. The new tax law will make the national tax sufficient. In one generation, Shouldn’t it be our duty to endure suffering for thousands of years and live in peace for eternity?”
"."
The blood-stained waiter was speechless for a moment.
But when other people saw that the prime minister's son was actually willing to argue, they became more energetic. As courtiers, what they lack most is the ability to talk. What they are afraid of is that Xu Yuan will directly slaughter the people who gave the advice directly in this palace. .
There are too many arguments to argue about taking the initiative to start a fight no matter when.
After a short period of deliberation,
A middle-aged man wearing official uniform of Yushitai slowly stood up and said:
"Xu Qing, the sect's immortal tax law is an ancestral system established by Taizu Dayan. There is no doubt that it will be acted upon rashly."
"Bang!"
Without any warning, a black ball suddenly spread in front of the head of the person who made the sound, instantly engulfing his head, upper chest, and shoulders.
The black ball disappears,
The corpse fell to the ground silently,
Bright red and hot blood gurgled out.
Xu Yuan slowly withdrew his gaze and his voice echoed:
"Since you like the ancestral system, then go down and ask Taizu about it."
The words fell,
Xu Yuan glanced at the Chief Superintendent of Ceremonies standing on the golden steps, and said slowly:
"Eunuch Tang, the national seal has been sealed. Shouldn't you announce this memorial to the world immediately?"
"."
The **** in charge of the royal palace silently glanced at the silent ministers of His Highness, sighed softly in his heart, walked down with broken steps, and took the vermilion letter with the national seal printed on it.
The autumn wind of the forty-seventh year of Jiajing traveled from north to south, carrying the war letter from Dayan Chaotang, overflowing the plains of the Middle Earth, passing through the Jianghuai land, and spreading throughout the sects of the world.
