I Painted Skins In the Cemetery For Fifteen Years Chapter 175

"Your Majesty, why do you want to be at this time?" Prince Lian suddenly said: "You have only been on the throne for four years, and you have only been in power for less than two years. Why did you choose to be at this young age?"

Li Yang County Lord said: "Da Zongzheng, do you think that His Majesty should endure for a few years, and then do other things after gradually mastering the power of the court?"

Prince Lian said: "This is obviously a more mature and prudent approach."

In fact, even from Chinese history, we can see many examples, the most typical of which is to try hard work.

Including Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when he was young, he had to endure dormancy first. After the death of Empress Dowager Dowager, he fully grasped the power and began to do what he wanted to do with great fanfare.

But Prince Lian is obviously looking for a sword.

The one who is now suppressed on the emperor's head is not a queen mother, nor a powerful minister, but the Sky Book City.

If allowed to develop, the deterioration of the situation is likely to be irreversible.

Princess Li Yang said: "I'll tell you what will happen next."

"If King Mi destroys Duke Shen's family and Shen Wuque, what will happen next?"

Prince Lian said: "He will expand further."

County Master Li Yang said: "No, it's not like that at all."

"Once King Mi destroys Shen Gongao, he will have no opponent in the entire South. Next, when the Western Holy See invades the Eastern world, King Mi will become the front line against the Western Holy See. Under this principle, he can do everything. matters, including but not limited to the unification of the entire three southern provinces, because by that time, everything will make way for the Great War."

"The current King Mi, at all costs, wants to convert the Kingdom of Dali to the Sky Book City, and even uses the Sky Book City to arm the Kingdom of Dali desperately, because... King Mi and King Dali are one in a sense. "

Prince Lian said in astonishment: "This, this is impossible, right? King Dali is a southern barbarian, and King Mi is a thousand-year-old Chinese from the Daxia Empire. How can these two be one?"

Princess Li Yang did not explain, but said: "What I am telling you is not a judgment, but a fact. The two may have competition, but in the final analysis, they are one."

Prince Lian felt a chill behind his back at this time.

Fortunately, Shen Wuque's plan in the Dali Kingdom succeeded, creating a civil strife in the Dali Kingdom, making it impossible for the Dali Kingdom to send troops north, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Li Yang County Master said: "The king of the Southern Barbarian Continent was the Kingdom of Dazhan before, why did he subjugate the country so quickly? Because he was a troublemaker! Shen Gongao from the north continued to march south, and how many troops of the Kingdom of Dazhan were destroyed? How much land was captured? There is a Dali Wang who rebelled and seized the throne."

"And when the kingdom of Dazhan fell and King Dali ascended the throne, the Mi family turned against Shen Gongao! What Shen Gongao had eaten over the years would have to spit out."

"Once Shen Gongao is eliminated, and the Mi family and the Dali Kingdom are united as one, how big is this territory? How big is the population?"

"Fortunately this time, Shen Wuque created the civil strife in the Dali Kingdom, which prevented the Dali King from sending troops north. If all goes well, the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Dali Kingdom will go north. Is it just Shen Gongao? He will attack the South China Sea. County, hit Tiannan Road, and will recover all the previously lost ground."

"Of course, if we put it before, our Daxia Empire can still gather a large army, march south to the Dali Kingdom, and retake these lands. But now, the invasion of the Western Holy See is imminent, and the whole logic has completely changed. Once the Western Holy See fully invades , then under the suppression of the Sky Book City, all civil wars in the eastern world must stop, and the outside world will be unanimous."

"At that time, can the territory that the Dali Kingdom took from our Daxia Empire be taken back?"

There is no doubt that it will never be returned.

"So, this time the Mi Clan attacked Shen Gongao and wiped out Shen Wuque, and the goal was not the mere Shen Gongao's family territory at all. It was to dismember my Daxia Empire, and it was dismembered with the tacit support of Sky Book City."

Prince Lian closed his eyes in pain.

The full invasion of the Western Holy See is imminent, shouldn't the Eastern world be united?

As the largest empire in the eastern world, the Daxia Empire should be the mainstay of resistance to the Western Holy See, shouldn't it be strengthened? Why still dismember?

Liyang County Lord said: "Because there are no two suns in the sky, and no two people in the people. Sky Book City does not want to be the master of detachment anymore, but wants to become the only supreme in the world of detachment and secular world. Sky Book City will use the help of the Western Holy See. Invade, completely unify the entire eastern world, build a complete empire, and become the emperor of ten thousand emperors."

"In our eyes, this is the dismemberment of the Great Xia Empire. But in the eyes of Sky Book City, this is the unification of the eastern world."

"For hundreds of thousands of years, the status of the Holy Master of the Sky Book City and the emperor of the Daxia Empire have been almost equal. But since the sudden death of the first emperor, the sudden death of the prince, and the succession of His Majesty, it seems to be lower than the Holy Master of the Sky Book City. Halfway through."

"But this is just a feeling, just a comparison of power. But in name, His Majesty the Emperor is still on the same level as the Holy Master."

"Then what if the Holy Master wants to be above His Majesty the Emperor and completely unify the entire eastern world?"

"Of course, it will continue to suppress the position of the emperor of our Daxia Empire, dismember the Daxia Empire, support King Mi, and support King Dali."

"One day in the future, King Mi and King Dali will even win a decent victory against the Western Holy See. What will be the result?"

"King Mi originally only had two provinces, but it will become five provinces. Once combined with the Dali Kingdom, he will have thirteen provinces, and the territory will reach one-third of our Daxia Empire. of two."

"By then, the Emperor of the Great Xia Empire will not be unique!"

"When the Holy Master of the Sky Book City can confer the title of the emperor and finally the emperor, does he become the supreme king of the eastern world? Has the emperor of our Daxia Empire changed from a king to a de facto prince? prince?"

"If it is not stopped, the situation will definitely develop like this."

"If His Majesty the Emperor does not resist, the thousand-year imperial lineage of the Great Xia Empire will be cut off."

"From the point of view of the world, His Majesty the Emperor has just been in power, whether it is prestige or power, it is far from enough." Li Yang County Master said: "But don't look at His Majesty, but stand in the position of the Emperor of the Great Xia Empire. , Now is the time when this emperor has the highest reputation and the highest sanctity of the emperor's position. Because Sky Book City will always suppress the sanctity and loftiness of the emperor of the Daxia Empire. will depreciate!"

"So it is said that His Majesty the Emperor should accumulate strength, prestige, and take courage. This is a simple and repeated understanding of history. This is a kind of seeking sword. Because this moment is the moment when His Majesty the Emperor is the most powerful. This is not the reason of His Majesty the Emperor personally. , but the inertia of the empire's thousand-year-old imperial lineage."

"On the surface, it seems very irrational and ridiculous that His Majesty the Emperor is risking the split of the empire and the risk of being abolished for the sake of a mere application."

"But this is the most critical moment, and it is almost the last moment. Once this moment is missed, the imperial power of the empire will go into a real and unstoppable decline, and it will completely fall into the abyss until the demise of the imperial lineage."

"Because, Sky Book City will definitely support King Mi to fight the invasion of the Western Holy See in an all-round way, and he will definitely become a hero of Eastern civilization."

"At this time, His Majesty the Emperor still holds the righteousness and the greatest sanctity. If you don't act at this time, it will be too late."

After speaking!

Prince Dazhong Zhenglian fell into a long silence.

After a long while, he bowed to the county lord Li Yang and said, "The county lord's words are deafening, and the old man is ashamed. He is not as far as the county lord!"

Princess Li Yang said slowly: "I didn't say these words."

Prince Lian said, "What is that?"

County Master Li Yang said: "Shen Wuque said it, and he said it last year, not only in face-to-face talks, but he also gave His Majesty several thousand words, and since last year, he has been predicting what is about to happen. Until now. So far, his predictions are correct."

"I thought it was alarmist at the time, but now, everything is going according to his predictions."

"As a top-level strategist, you don't want to see today or tomorrow, but a few years from now, a dozen years from now."

"Shen Wuque said that he is willing to use all his strength to maintain the thousand-year imperial lineage of the Great Xia Empire."

Prince Lian said: "But... but his identity will bring a fatal crisis to His Majesty the Emperor."

Princess Li Yang wanted to speak again.

But the emperor stopped it.

Prince Lian is loyal, but... he hasn't really held the core power for decades.

He didn't know many secrets, and it was a burden to tell him.

For example, Shen Wuque wrote in the secret letter that he is willing to continue to do what his father Duke Yingzhu has not done.

Another example is that the reason why Duke Yingzhu was completely defeated was because the late emperor was afraid of compromise at the last moment, which made Duke Yingzhu completely defeated under the attack of King Mi and Sky Book City.

Prince Lian's mouth was dry, he couldn't help taking a sip of tea, and said, "Though these words sound very reasonable, but... but if the situation develops like this, the Sky Book City behind King Mi will be on the stage. Your Majesty, you continue to choose to support Shen Wuque and continue to fight to the end. Either it means the complete tear of the eastern world, or you...you will be abolished from the throne, and even your life will be in danger."

Li Yang County Lord sneered: "The first emperor has just died for four years, and the first prince has just died for four years. Is another emperor going to die? Two emperors in a row within four years? Are the people in this world blind? Are they fools? Are they deaf?"

As soon as these words came out, Prince Lian shuddered even more and said with trembling: "You can't talk nonsense."

Princess Li Yang said slowly, "Prince Lian, have you ever played the game of staring?"

Of course, Prince Lian had never played it, but he knew it.

Li Yang County Master said: "It's just two people who keep their eyes open and intimidate each other. Whoever blinks first will lose. Whoever gets scared first will lose."

"Da Zongzheng, once the struggle begins, there is no turning back. No matter how much the cost is, we must continue the struggle, otherwise all our achievements will be lost."

"Look at the struggle between Mi's and Shen Gongao, isn't it still clear? Once you compromise and take a step back, once you show a little bit of cowardice, it will be a disaster. If it weren't for the appearance of Shen Wuque, the Shen Gong family would have been wiped out long ago. , all the territories have been annexed long ago."

"Is it useful for His Majesty to compromise now? The average man is innocent, and he is guilty of his own sin."

"His Majesty the Emperor has blocked the way of a certain Supreme Being."

Prince Lian's entire body could not help but become hunched.

In the past few decades, he has a noble status, but he really has not experienced any violent struggle, and he can even be regarded as indifferent to the world.

It was not until the current emperor ascended the throne that he became Da Zongzheng, and that was entirely because he was old enough, senior enough, and innocent enough.

But such a terrifying struggle made him horrified.

It's not that he is afraid that he will die, he is almost eighty, and he will die when he dies.

What he was afraid of was that the Xia clan would lose their thousand-year imperial lineage.

He was afraid that the royal family would suffer a devastating blow.

After a long while, Prince Lian bowed down and said, "I am old and my mind is not clear, but I will always be loyal to Your Majesty, and I am willing to use this old bone to go through fire and water for His Majesty."

Then, Prince Lian said: "Your Majesty, King Mi is still waiting for your reply. If you don't reply within 24 hours, his army of 100,000 people will go south to destroy the Shen Gong family."

The emperor said slowly: "Da Zong is waiting for a while, and I will also think about it."

Prince Lian said: "Then just go to take a nap. After His Majesty the Emperor has drawn up his will, the old minister will go for another visit."

Then, Prince Lian went back to his room.

The steps looked very old.

He is really old.

In the study room of the entire palace, there were only the emperor and the princess of Li Yang left.

The emperor smiled and said: "Li Yang, we didn't scare King Mi, we made a move, and he kicked back directly."

Li Yang County Lord lay lazily on the chair and said: "So, I said it a long time ago, it is too late for you to sacrifice me now. You said that it was my forged imperial edict, depriving me of the position of County Lord, and put the I will be banned for life, then you will be able to get out of your body temporarily."

"Actually, what I just said was just the words of Shen Wuque's family! From everyone's point of view, it's not worth taking such a big risk for a mere Shen Wuque."

The emperor said: "What you said just now is not just Prince Lian who you want to persuade, it's me who you really want to persuade."

Princess Li Yang was silent for a while and said, "Your Majesty, because I don't know if this is right or wrong."

"I am not very afraid of death, but I am afraid that the position of Your Majesty will be overturned, and I am afraid that the Daxia Royal Family's Dao Lineage will be overturned."

"I just repeated Shen Wuque's Wanyanshu, not only to convince you, but also to convince myself."

"If it's because of our adventurism and my naivety that I really ruin the throne of His Majesty the Emperor and ruin the thousand-year-old lineage of the Xia family, then I can't make up for it even if I'm shattered."

The emperor said: "Before the result appears, no one knows whether it is right or wrong. Shen Wuque is gambling, so why are we not gambling? If he loses the bet, if he overestimates my determination, then the Shen Gong family will He was immediately annihilated, and he was shattered to pieces. And if I lose the bet, I will lose the throne, and even ruin the thousand-year imperial lineage."

Li Yang County Master said: "If you take a half step forward, you may be smashed to pieces. If you take a half step back, what will happen?"

The emperor said: "Go ahead and steal peace."

County Master Li Yang said: "Did the late emperor also struggle for a long time? In the end, did he choose to compromise? Which led to the demise of Duke Yingzhu?"

The emperor said: "The previous emperor's situation was more calm than me after all."

County Master Li Yang said, "What would have happened if the late emperor chose to fight to the end?"

The emperor was silent for a while and said: "Probably the outcome is worse, because there was no invasion of the Western Holy See."

Li Yang County Master said: "The invasion of the Western Holy See is our only favorable situation at present. Of course, this overall situation may be beneficial to the enemy, and may also be beneficial to us."

"But it is precisely because of the compromise of the late emperor that your Majesty's foothold is so narrow now."

Fight to the end! It's easy to say this.

But it's really hard to do it.

Especially now, no matter from which perspective, His Majesty the Emperor is far from the moment when the bayonet is red, let alone the moment when the Emperor and the Sky Book City are completely torn apart.

It seems that there is still a long way to go from that safety line.

But... the most terrifying thing in the world is this.

You feel that you are far from the safety line, so you are careless, and when you can still fight back, you are afraid to fight back because you are worried about the serious consequences.

As a result, suddenly overnight, the safety line is in front of you.

At this time, it was too late to fight back.

The most terrifying of the struggle is, of course, adventurism.

But the struggle is more terrifying than the enemy, full of illusions about the predicament.

Now for the emperor, it is really a life-or-death decision.

Do you want to believe in Shen Wuque's Wanyanshu?

Do you want to trust his judgment about the future?

Was the situation as bad as he said it was?

Are King Dali and King Mi really one?

Shen Wuque certainly bet on the fate of Duke Shen's family, his own fate.

And the emperor is also betting on his own throne.

Now, no matter from anyone's point of view, it would not be so urgent for the emperor to gamble on the throne.

No matter how it looked, His Majesty the Emperor was still a long way from that safety line.

After a long while, the emperor suddenly said: "Li Yang, if the prince's elder brother succeeds the throne, what do you think he will do?"

County Master Li Yang said: "He won't bet, he won't bet on the throne for Shen Wuque. Because he is very wise and rational, no matter which way you look at it, this gamble is too ridiculous. For a mere Shen Wuque, bet on the throne. ? Ridiculously childish."

The emperor said, "What if what Shen Wuque said was right?"

Li Yang County Master said: "Then this time, it is your only chance to fight back, and it is also Xia's last chance to keep the thousand-year-old imperial lineage."

The emperor said: "I lose the throne, but it's nothing. But if the Xia royal family loses their thousand-year royal line because of me, then they will die."

Princess Li Yang said, "Are you shaken? You don't dare to gamble, do you?"

The emperor said: "Then what if you were to make this decision?"

County Master Li Yang said, "I don't know, but luckily it wasn't me who made this decision."

The emperor sighed: "Eighteen years ago, the late emperor chose to compromise, and the late emperor was timid. Therefore, Duke Yingzhu died, the Ying family perished, and the Xia family lost our most loyal ally."

"Now, it's my turn to make this choice!"

"The father chose to compromise. If the first prince succeeds, he will probably choose to compromise, because they are wise and rational."

County Master Li Yang said: "Men are responsible for reason."

Then, she looked at the clock and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to make a decision, you need to do it as soon as possible, time is running out."

"And the last imperial decree, you can also say that I forged the imperial decree and pushed everything on my head. But once the decision is made this time, there is really no turning back, and there is only one way to go to the end."

The emperor felt a splitting headache, and slowly sat down on the chair, leaning his head against the wall.

Reason told him not to be so crazy.

Judgment for the future is just one side of Shen Wuque's words.

Not to betray the throne, not to betray the thousand-year-old lineage of the Xia royal family.

but……

It's like listening to the impulse of the heart.

That is... utter madness!

The emperor closed his eyes and fell into his last struggle, his last thought.

A full quarter of an hour!

The emperor stood up abruptly.

Fuck your **** rationality!

Fuck it!

There is a saying that is correct.

Once the struggle begins, there is no turning back.

Staring game, whoever blinks, whoever has a guilty conscience, loses!

Then, the emperor said slowly: "A decree!"

"King Mi immediately stops all military operations against the Shen Gong family, and immediately returns all the troops, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion, and I will send troops to suppress it, I appreciate it!"

then!

The emperor took out the tiger talisman and shouted loudly: "Come here, gather the army, go to Tianshui Province, and prepare to quell the rebellion!"

time!

Li Yang County Lord was very excited.

She stretched out her jade hand and wrote the imperial edict for the emperor.

Then, the emperor put on a big seal, as if he was determined to leave his hand.

On the contrary, the emperor relaxed, and said towards Li Yang County Master: "I think this is the emperor's throne."

Li Yang County Master said: "Even if you lose, the big deal is that I will die with you! And him, the three of us will die together!"

The emperor smiled and said, "When I studied with him and played games together, how could I have thought that today would be possible?"

next day!

Prince Da Zong Zhenglian took the emperor's most severe decree and went to the palace of Mi Wang~www.mtlnovel.com~ Fengtian carried the emperor's edict, saying that Miyou immediately stopped all military operations against the Shen Gong family, and immediately returned all the troops, otherwise they would be regarded as To rebel against a rebellion, I will send troops to suppress it, don't say it is unpredictable, I appreciate it! "

at the same time!

The emperor's other wills have been spread to several camps in the empire!

More than 300,000 troops were ordered to begin to assemble.

Prepare to go to Tianshui Province to suppress the rebellion!

Immediately!

Crashed!
