The words of the wild dog directly hit the pain point of Emperor Jianwen! Because perhaps Emperor Jianwen's biggest regret before his death was that he could not protect the upright ministers who had the same goals as him and defended the Ming Dynasty for him.
Now the wild dog is bringing out this regret, and coupled with Emperor Jianwen's sentimental character, it is strange that he is not moved.
Sure enough, Emperor Jianwen exhaled softly and said in a low voice: "Lin Yang, I understand everything you said, and I also understand the hardships you endured, but after all, this wild dog is also a close minister who worked with me to build the underground palace... "
Emperor Jianwen's tone was very humble, as if this man had been humbled to the dust, which gave me a very uncomfortable feeling.
Emperor Jianwen, the leader of the majestic underground palace, came to beg me with humility, which made me a little at a loss.
If Emperor Jianwen pretends to argue with me in a high-profile manner and adopts a tyrannical attitude with me, then I will never back down. I will even kill wild dogs directly in front of Emperor Jianwen because I have this ability. , also has this motive.
However, the current Emperor Jianwen has adopted such a low-key posture and a pleading attitude, which makes it difficult for me to handle.
After all, I want to cooperate with Emperor Jianwen, and I am not a willful child? How can I do it just as I say?
"Emperor Jianwen, I advise you to think about this matter carefully. Sometimes you can cut the grass without eradicating the root, but it will leave troubles forever. Don't forget how your country was taken away in the first place?" I said in a deep voice, with a very serious tone. .
Emperor Jianwen looked helpless, shook his head and said: "Lin Yang, I actually understand what you said, but... sometimes understanding doesn't mean you have to do it. Although the wild dog has done it, he still has merit after all. I don't want to let him The people in this underground palace think that I am a cruel and easy-to-kill person, let alone causing chaos in the entire underground palace. Now is a time of critical survival, and everyone in the underground palace is very sensitive. If I suddenly kill the wild dog, then the entire underground palace will be shocked. Panic..."
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, what Emperor Jianwen said was good, but the character of Wild Dog was really too dangerous.
At this time, Rujun also stood up. She gently held my hand and whispered: "Lin Yang, after all, this matter is our own business in the underground palace. You might as well leave it to Emperor Jianwen to solve it himself. I believe that Jianwen Emperor Wen is a responsible and decisive leader, and he will definitely give us an answer that satisfies us."
I nodded.
What Rujun said was wonderful. On the surface, she was supporting Emperor Jianwen, but in fact, she was putting pressure on Emperor Jianwen and forcing him to submit.
Of course Emperor Jianwen was not stupid, he could hear the underlying meaning of Rujun's words, and the ice-snowy and clever Rujun was also Emperor Jianwen who issued the ultimatum.
The fate of the wild dogs is now basically in the hands of Emperor Jianwen. Emperor Jianwen raised his eyebrows and made the final decision: "Wu Min, put the wild dogs into the sky prison and send more people to strictly guard them. No one can approach him without my order!"
After thinking about it, Emperor Jianwen finally decided not to be so cruel. He decided to temporarily imprison the wild dogs in a prison.
Regarding Emperor Jianwen, what I actually appreciate most is his kindness. If it weren't for this, I would never choose to support him.
The King of Ten Thousand Dragons is a talented and strategic monarch, but under the rule of such a monarch, the lives of the people may not be the happiest.
Was Emperor Qin and Han wise in martial arts? Was Emperor Yongle divine in martial arts?
The answer is of course yes. If these things happened on their territory today, then the wild dogs would definitely die without a burial place. It is even said that people like wild dogs would not exist under their rule.
But under their rule, will the people live and work in peace and contentment?
An emperor who enlarges territory and makes great achievements is of course a good emperor, but the current Sijiu City does not need such a figure. What Sijiu City needs is stability and peace, and what it needs is two simple words: peace.
And looking at the entire underworld of the Forty-Nine Cities, the only one who can bring peace is this underground palace and Emperor Jianwen in the underground palace.
But since I chose Emperor Jianwen, I have to bear another negative effect brought about by Emperor Jianwen's kindness... After all, no one is perfect. If there is an advantage, there will definitely be corresponding disadvantages.
Under our watch, Wu Min took the wild dog away. Emperor Jianwen said nothing from the beginning to the end, as if he felt that he and the wild dog had nothing to say.
Rujun and I did not argue or attempt to change anything, because we knew it was impossible to change.
When the wild dogs disappeared at the end, I said, "Emperor Jianwen, do you know why we came here today?"
Emperor Jianwen shook his head, but I could tell that he must have guessed something.
I did not show off, but continued: "The reason why we came here is because I have reached a consensus with the sanctions in the world. From now on, we are ready to support you together and become the master of the entire Four-Nine City!"
Emperor Jianwen understood the seriousness of this matter, so when we finished talking, Emperor Jianwen's eyes were already bright.
He looked at us and asked word by word: "Making this decision means that you are going to be hostile to the higher forces in the entire underworld. Lin Yang, have you really made your decision? You won't regret it anymore."
?”
I looked at Emperor Jianwen and said solemnly: "Yes, we have made a decision and we will not go back on it."
…
The content of the conversation after that was very simple. It was nothing more than discussing with Emperor Jianwen how to deal with the King of Dragons and those so-called "white robes". As for the construction of the underground palace, Emperor Jianwen must also worry about it. We just
He was just responsible for helping Emperor Jianwen clear other obstacles.
Although Emperor Jianwen seemed a little hesitant and procrastinating in dealing with the wild dogs, fortunately, Emperor Jianwen was still very efficient in other matters. It can be seen that the wild dogs really grasped Emperor Jianwen's fatal weakness.
Putting aside the issue of wild dogs, this meeting was quite a pleasant conversation.
After chatting, Rujun and I left the underground palace and prepared to go back. After all, it was still the Chinese New Year, and it would be better to have more reunions.
Wu Min went to deal with the wild dog matter, so Rujun and I didn't have anyone to guide us. However, we were already familiar with the terrain here, and we were safe all the way to the exit of the underground palace.
Only after leaving the underground palace, suddenly there was a dark wind in a corner not far away, and a familiar voice came softly:
"Lin Yang, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Isn't it too late to wish you a happy New Year today?"
I recognized this voice instantly. It was Guo Fengxian’s voice, and it was absolutely unmistakable!
"Rujun, be careful." I said softly, then turned around and looked at the direction from which the sound came.
In the darkness, a figure slowly walked out. This was of course Guo Fengxian, a fully armed Guo Fengxian.
Guo Fengxian usually appeared wearing black-rimmed glasses and elegant clothes, but now Guo Fengxian was wearing a military uniform, and the armor on his body seemed to be specially customized and made of black smooth material.
Guo Fengxian stepped out of the shadows step by step, his eyes showing a scorching fierce light. When he looked at me, Guo Fengxian no longer had the same loyal look in his eyes as before, replaced by a look of determination to kill.
Then a quick look.
"Guo Fengxian." I whispered: "We meet again."
Unexpectedly, Guo Fengxian just smiled faintly and said: "Lin Yang, Lin Yang, we are old friends after all. To be honest, I worked hard for you at the beginning, and now it ends like this?"
"What kind of ending is this?" I asked with a smile.
Guo Fengxian sneered: "My senior brother, you killed Cao Wuyong, right?"
I nodded: "Cao Wuyong has been plotting against me for so long. Is it reasonable to give him this revenge?"
Guo Fengxian sneered again: "Okay, very good. Anyway, he has been killed by you. I can't refute what you want to say... Then please answer my next question: The King of Ten Thousand Dragons is obviously the king of these four-nine cities since ancient times.
Sole leader, why do you support the underground palace?!"
