In the 25th year of Tiancheng in Daning, Chen Leng was twenty-five years old.

The road to the level is in chaos.

On the ninth day of the eighth month of the 25th year of Tiancheng in Daning, rebellions broke out in various counties of Pingyue Road. Almost at the same time, all the soldiers from all counties rushed to the county government at the same time. All local officials transferred from various places to Pingyue Road were in trouble. Seven or eight out of ten people were killed on that day.

This day was the twelve years after Nanyue was destroyed. On the ninth day of the eighth month of the thirteenth year of Tiancheng, Daning, the capital of Nanyue Kingdom was captured, and the emperor of Nanyue Kingdom, Yang Yu, came out of the city to surrender.

Some people say that twelve years is a cycle of reincarnation, and they don’t know what the meaning is, but for Yue people who have not forgotten the hatred of the country of destruction, this day is a taboo for the twelve years of Nanyue.

It's not a matter of one county, it's all counties.

Ningren never thought that the hatred of the Yue people would be so heavy. The Nanyue people who had been ruled for twelve years burst out all their hatred on this day. The soldiers rushed onto the street like wild animals, and they would kill them as long as they were Ningren. Fortunately, there were not many Ningren in Nanyue.

West Shu Road.

Mu Zhaotong didn't sleep all night. He felt that he had taken away his life that he didn't have much energy. He even felt that someone called him the name outside the window last night, and he called him all night until dawn.

But he didn't regret it. He felt that there were things that no one could do except him.

Taoist Wuwei came in from outside with a bowl of noodles. When he saw Mu Zhaotong, he was shocked. It was actually not a night of satisfaction. It was only two hours from the time he left this room to the time he saw Mu Zhaotong again. But Mu Zhaotong seemed to have turned into a dead tree. He sat there, no longer thinking that he was a living person, but a mummy.

"I calculated the time."

Mu Zhaotong forced herself to smile: "At this moment, Your Majesty should have just received the letter I wrote to him."

Taoist Wuwei sighed and lowered his face: "Gei Master, why are you doing this?"

"I once said that I would not do anything that hurts Daning. Even if I don't want His Majesty to live a good life, I will not hurt Daning. No one believed me when I said it. Just believe it myself. I am a Ningren, something that was destined since birth. Ningren has a sense of pride in their bones that makes foreigners feel disgusted. Why do they hate it? Because they are inferior, they hate it."

"Your Majesty is right."

Mu Zhaotong looked at the bowl of noodles: "From the beginning, I knew that Your Majesty was right. Even if he wanted to undermine all my power, I knew that it was something an emperor should do. It was different from my hatred of him. Just like what I planned on Pingyuedao today, it was also different from my hatred of him. When I can do something for Daning and just happen to make Your Majesty feel uncomfortable and unhappy, I should be very comfortable and happy."

Taoist Wuwei shook his head: "How come the Master Ge feels comfortable?"

"I thought I would."

Mu Zhaotong put a mouthful of noodles into her mouth. The taste was obviously very good, but it tasted boring.

"If Daning is a giant, no one can defeat it, but the rotten flesh on her body can bring the giant down from the inside. I have been warning myself for so many years as the chief minister of the cabinet, but I still watch the rotten flesh grow, and there are also them in myself. As long as you are an official, there are many things that cannot be avoided. Your Majesty wants to cut off the rotten flesh, and in his opinion I am the biggest piece."

Wuwei Taoist said: "But Ge Lao is not."

"I'm right."

Mu Zhaotong looked up at him: "When I was sitting in Babu Lane copying books, one day when I looked at my wife who was already increasingly confused on the bed, I suddenly realized that I was indeed that piece of carrion."

Taoist Wuwei didn't know what to say.

"The queen is dead, but the arrangements of the people who left behind by the queen are also rotten meat."

Mu Zhaotong said while eating noodles: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted and can't do it so thoroughly. I'm designing that he will die with his two sons. Let's give him a Daning country that looks devastated but no longer has the shadow of the queen."

A tear fell into the bowl, making the noodles look a little bitter.

Chang'an City, Si Maozhai.

There was a letter in front of the emperor, and he had finished reading it.

The emperor sat there, his face very pale, his fists were clenched, and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed.

"Your Majesty, are you still looking for the old minister? But you must not find it. The old minister has served Your Majesty for twenty years, not the one who has followed Your Majesty for the longest time, nor the one who trusts the most. Speaking of the word "trust", any person who comes from the royal palace, no matter which one is in the sky, the trust of Your Majesty is above the old minister. Your Majesty can be honest with them. He is just to give full play to his talents, but the old minister must be the one who knows Your Majesty the best."

"When the old minister was copying books in Babu Lane, he suddenly realized that the old minister had always thought that everything he did was for the good of Daning, but he accidentally hurt Daning. Of course, if he only hurt Your Majesty, the old minister would not feel guilty. The old minister was planning what he was planning the lives of His Majesty's two sons. His Majesty knew that the old minister's son was gone, and the old minister was still a vengeful person."

"In the first year of Tiancheng, Your Majesty said to the old minister, Daning cannot live without you, I cannot live without you. The old minister was very moved at that time, thinking that Your Majesty is really magnanimous. The old minister once planned the throne, not for himself, nor for selflessness. He just used what the old minister thought in his heart to plan for the throne for Daning and seek a safe and secure for decades. But Your Majesty's plan was farther away, and Your Majesty had planned for at least a hundred years, so the old minister was convinced."

"After my son Xiaofeng died, the old minister was heartbroken, but he still dared not slacking off and being slight. The old minister could pat his chest and say, "The old minister has done all the duties of being a minister, but no matter how much the old minister cares about Daning, the old minister is also a father and a husband. The old minister was thinking at that time, how can he make His Majesty sad without hurting Daning?"

"The evil one must be done."

"The queen is a wicked man. Your Majesty knows more sincerely than the old minister. Before he died, he did one more thing for Your Majesty. If nothing unexpected happens, when the old minister sent this letter to His Majesty, the counties of Pingyuedao had rebelled at the same time. In the past few years, the old minister has been secretly allocated millions of taels of silver every year. Where did he come from? He came from the Jiangnan Weaving Mansion. The Jiangnan Weaving Mansion was rotten. It was not the old minister's crime, but they were rotten themselves. So the old minister urged them to urge them to have the ugliness in their hearts."

"These silver was sent to the soldiers of Pingyue Road counties, secretly creating weapons and armor, and agreed to raise troops at the same time as the letter was delivered. But that was nothing. At most, many people would die. The dead people were only minor pain for Daning, and they would be cured in three to five years. The Pingyue Road should be safe afterwards."

"Looking at the world, only the old minister can control such a large scale, so the old minister will inevitably feel a little proud. Thinking that Your Majesty's face is pale at this time, the old minister will be even more proud. When Your Majesty's two sons die, the old minister can smile at Jiuquan."

"The old minister cares about reputation and always cares about it, but in the end, the old minister chooses to bear a stigma. Your Majesty, you know that a person's heart is so complicated that it is so painful that it is like me. The rebellion of Yue people will not last long. In order to plan for this, the old minister first let the Bohai people enter the pass and confuse the public with the people from the northern border, and then the old minister can leave Chang'an."

"Then the old minister sent people to the Japanese army to urge the Japanese army to enter the country of Tiao. Because of this battle, Chen Leng, Haisha and Zhuang Yong were not allowed to escape. The soldiers of Pingyuedao were already seeking establishment, so the wolf ape in the southern border would inevitably go south to rescue, and the war would not wait for anyone. Besides, Your Majesty gave the generals of the four borders arbitrarily power at the moment of opportunity, so Ye Jingtian would not wait for His Majesty's order to lead the army south."

"In this way, Pingyuedao did not have a large-scale combat troops. This is the promise made by the old minister to Yue people and the confidence given to Yue people. Without wolf apes and war soldiers, Yue people dared to rebel. However, it doesn't take long for such rebellions to be put back. The wolf apes returned to the army and the war soldiers went south. Within three months, the rebellions in various places would be wiped out. At that time, there was no more queen or old minister in Pingyuedao."

"In the world, the old minister is just an ant. The old minister is humble, but he dares to say that I have been here in this world and no one can erase it. When the old minister wants to leave, I can erase it myself, and no one can stop him."

"The old minister has always believed in his loyalty to Daning. To this day, the old minister does not doubt it. Even if the old minister always wants to take revenge on His Majesty, the old minister's thoughts may be a bit shocking. Since the old minister became an official, the old minister's thoughts have never changed. The old minister feels that the emperor does not represent Daning, not just His Majesty, but any emperor is like this. The old minister is loyal to the country and not loyal to the emperor. This is a death penalty for national law, but the old minister will not admit this crime even if he dies."

"The old minister could have turned the tide when the late emperor passed away. If the old minister is in the cabinet, even if the new emperor cannot take charge of the government for ten years, he can also ensure that Da Ning is worry-free. However, when Your Majesty ascended the top, all the plans of the old minister were destroyed. Your Majesty is a wise ruler who is born in the world. In everything, the old minister is convinced. Therefore, for twenty years, the old minister has worked hard to assist Your Majesty. Da Ning is booming, and Your Majesty cannot say that the old minister has no credit."

"The old minister should be right. When His Majesty saw this letter, he wondered where to mobilize troops to quickly quell the rebellion? No one can adjust it? The war soldiers in the southern border are either seeking to establish the three places of the country, or going to the northern border. The closest to Pingyue Road are the war soldiers of the Western Shu Road, but Shu Road is difficult to move, and the war soldiers have been transferred. The old minister's plan has almost been completed. Han Huanzhi is also in the plan of the old minister. He must die because he has been killed by someone. He has already found out. Han Huanzhi, who claims to be fair and selfless, did not give my son a fair and selfless one in order to calm down. He is unwilling to die, but the old minister is unwilling to accept it."

"No one can help Your Majesty. The old minister gave Your Majesty the reason for killing. Your Majesty will start killing. The Yue people's hatred of national destruction cannot be suppressed. Now the Yue people are mostly middle-aged men over 20 years old and under 40 years old. After this easy-to-kill, the Yue people were unable to cause trouble again for twenty years. Twenty years later, they already thought they were Ning people, and fifty years later, they will completely forget Nanyue."

West Shu Road.

Mu Zhaotong ate a bowl of noodles and stood up on the table. Both arms were trembling. He barely walked to the window and pushed open the window. The wind outside rushed in and almost blew him down.

Taoist Wuwei stepped forward and helped him: "Prince, take care of him."

Mu Zhaotong smiled and said, "My death is not far away, there is nothing to take care of. No one can stop him when he should leave, just like the situation of Pingyue Dao, no one can break it."
