There was still a pond, and there was a pavilion in the center of the pond. Yi Yan was spreading fish food and looking at the fish. Tie Xue came running from a distance with an excited look on his face.
"Grand Governor, the flood in the Great Luo Kingdom has finally stopped!" Tie Xue said excitedly.
"What's wrong?" Yi Yan frowned and looked at Tie Xue.
"Returning without success, according to the arrangements of the Grand Governor, the fifteenth army of Daluo Heavenly Dynasty did not get any benefits along the way. They all returned in vain. It has been more than three months. According to what the Grand Governor said
, in at least one month, Xiao Wang will definitely send troops to help us." Tie Xue said excitedly.
Yi Yan gently wiped his palms with a towel on the side, frowned and shook his head.
"What's wrong?" Tie Xue asked in confusion.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong!" Yi Yan frowned.
"What's wrong?" Tie Xue asked in confusion.
"The Fifteenth Route Army, but look at those commanders. Something is wrong with the commander. Zhong Shan is missing, Gu Lin is missing, and the two commanders of the Daluo Army are missing. The leaders are all their deputy generals." Yi Yanmi
He said with eyes closed.
"Well, it seems so, but under the arrangement of the Grand Governor, what if they are there? Now these twenty cities seem to be connected into a whole, and they can't attack them at all," Tie Xue said.
"No, no, with them, at least those route armies will not be defeated too badly, especially Zhong Shan. He can't be seen on the battlefield. I'm worried that they will come to our rear to cause trouble. I always feel something is wrong. I will immediately
I wrote a handwritten letter to Your Majesty, hoping that Your Majesty will not come up with any more traps." Yi Yan said.
Xiao Wang camp.
Xiao Wang sat at the handsome desk, with generals standing on both sides.
Xiao Wang held a letter in his hand, read it and passed it to Xiao Yuanfeng and other generals to read.
"Father, Yi Yan really blocked it." Xiao Yuanfeng said in surprise.
"However, this price is too high. Sixty cities are almost half the size of Emperor Dayu." Xiao Yuandeng shook his head and said.
"But he finally came back to life!" Xiao Yuanfeng said.
"Resurrection from the dead? Haha, let's see again!" Xiao Wang shook his head and said.
"Commander Father, aren't we sending out troops now?" Xiao Yuanfeng frowned.
"Wait another month, if Yi Yan still blocks the fifteen armies, we will go to the rescue!" Xiao Wang said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" the generals responded.
City in the sky! Above the court.
Nalan Piaoxue watched the good news coming, with a rare smile on his face.
"God bless Dayu, Your Majesty, the Governor has finally stopped the Great Luo Dynasty!" A minister congratulated.
"Your Majesty, all the Sumeru stones in the treasure map have been taken out by the people or the army. The prices of Sumeru stones in the market have also been restored. People no longer go out of the city to hunt for treasures. Everything has returned to its former glory. Daewoo has recovered.
Yes! Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Another minister congratulated.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" All the ministers agreed.
Yes, it seems that now, except for the sixty lost cities, the situation in the Dayu Dynasty is very good. Yi Yan stopped the Da Luo army, and the remaining ninety cities have all been restored, and the people no longer run around.
, the army is once again in position and ready to prepare. Everything is telling the world that the old Dayu is back, the powerful Dayu is back!
"Okay, what Zhu Aiqing said is right. Immediately draft a document to tell the world that we share the same hatred and fight against foreign enemies!" said Nalan Piaoxue, who was also in a good mood.
Is the situation of the Dayu Emperor Dynasty really great? Only Nalan Piaoxue thinks so. Although the Dayu Emperor Dynasty has found the Sumeru Stone, what about the spirit stone? What about the lost spirit stone? You can borrow the spirit stone, but what about the human heart?
?Just by finding the treasure, there is no treasure to find, and the human heart is restored? Once the human heart is lost, it will be difficult to gather it again.
For example, the generals who defended the city were loyal and patriotic in the past. Later, they became distraught. They dared to disobey military orders, left their posts without permission, and disobeyed the emperor's orders to find treasures. Now that there is no treasure, they came back to defend the city. If the troops came to the city, they would see
If you fail to defeat, will you become a deserter again? You have lost your mind the first time, but it will be much easier the second time and the third time. At least you won't resist as tenaciously as before.
Emperor Nalan's document quickly informed the city of the sky and spread towards the city farther away.
While the whole city in the sky is celebrating, the fifth step of the Sky Collapse Plan has begun!
Zhu Cunli, Zhu Aiqing in Nalan Piao’s bloody mouth, the Minister of Rites of the Dayu Dynasty, City in the Sky, and the patriarch of the Zhu family! He was suddenly nominated!
He was not nominated by Nalan Piaoxue, but by the common people.
At some point, a list suddenly appeared in the hands of the people.
When the market was changing, the Zhu Cunli family conspired with several merchants to drive up prices. Most of the Zhu family's children participated and earned a large amount of spiritual stones. This is not the key. The key lies in the Xumi Stone hype, which is the most important one.
When the market collapsed, the Zhu family also invested huge sums of money to drive up the price of Sumeru stones in order to obtain massive amounts of spiritual stones, countless spiritual stones.
What's more, during this period, the Zhu Cunli family loaned money to a large number of people at a rolling interest rate. As a result, countless people still owe Zhu Cunli a large amount of spiritual stones with interest.
The worm of the country? No, at that time, everyone was going crazy. How could the Zhu family give up such a good opportunity? Without Zhu Cunli's words, the family's children followed suit like crazy.
Zhu Cunli also found out later that he had only participated in the allocation of spiritual stones during the Xumi Stone hype.
However, this is enough, because from the beginning to the end, every entry and exit of the Zhu family, and even the whereabouts of the spirit stones at every moment, are listed in detail.
How detailed is this list? Even the Zhu family themselves may not be able to come up with such a detailed direction of the spiritual stones. What is even more rare and valuable is that this detailed list is divided into many parts, and they are separated from different people without any trace.
Summary by mouth.
When the Dayu Emperor was in the most critical situation, this official of the Dayu Emperor took the lead in messing up the country's economy? If Zhu Cunli had informed His Majesty earlier, how could the Dayu market collapse? How could the people be displaced? As a result, a large number of people have been displaced because of this to this day.
The soulless stone leaves the city.
The scourge, the scourge of the Sky City, the scourge of the Dayu Emperor Dynasty!
Zhu Cunli!
For a time, countless people were filled with indignation and could not vent their anger to the Great Luo Dynasty, so they all focused on Zhu Cunli.
Just two days later, a "Book of Ten Thousand People" suddenly appeared, imploring Emperor Nalan to remove Zhu Cunli and give justice to the people, justice to His Majesty, justice to the City in the Sky, and justice to Emperor Dayu's court.
For a time, the Zhu family seemed to have become the public enemy of the people. They were criticized in a disgraceful manner.
I don’t know who was the first to place the Book of All People in the square in front of the palace. Some people knelt and begged Emperor Nalan to severely punish Zhu Cunli and bring justice to the people.
Not long after, someone else filled in and wrote their name in the Book of Ten Thousand Peoples.
Most of these people owe money to the Zhu family and were the ones who loaned them the spiritual stones at usury. Yes, if the Zhu family is gone, then do we still have to pay back the money? This is a 'scourge'.
There are also friends attracted by these people who owe the Zhu family spiritual stone.
More and more.
Not long after, the Book of Ten Thousand People became the "Book of Fifty Thousand People".
And there is a strange phenomenon, that is, the dozens of people who knelt in front of the palace in the early stage slowly disappeared among the more and more people who gathered. The number of people kneeling increased, but the first few people disappeared.
"Bold, Zhu Cunli!" Nalan Piao shouted angrily with a bloody sound.
In the main hall, all the officials were as silent as cicadas!
"Your Majesty, I know that I am guilty. It was only because the dogs begged me that I agreed to lend money. I did not participate." Zhu Cunli knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Humph, Zhu Cunli, the dignified Minister of Rites, colluded with profiteers, disrupted the Dayu market, and displaced the people. Now the people are filled with resentment and accusations, but they don't even know how to repent. The Dayu Empire was almost destroyed in your hands!" Nalan Piao shouted angrily with blood.
From Nalan Piaoxue's point of view, if Zhu Cunli reported the truth about the market, not to mention Yi Yan, even he would be able to see the strangeness and save the disaster of Daewoo. Sixty cities were lost only because of corrupt officials like them!
Yi Yan said before leaving that people's anger must not be aroused and must not be violated!
"Yes!" A group of guards rushed to the hall and grabbed Zhu Cunli.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, and I beg your Majesty to show mercy!" Zhu Cunli shouted for mercy.
However, Nalan Piao was furious.
"Humph, be merciful? Not only will I kill you, but I will also punish all nine of your clans and send an edict to the world to serve as a warning to others!" Nalan Piao shouted angrily with blood.
"No~~~" Zhu Cunli shouted anxiously.
But he was dragged out by the guards.
"Hmph!" Nalan fluttered his sleeves bloodily and retreated!
Above the court, all the ministers dared not breathe! They bowed their bodies and waited for Nalan to leave bleeding.
Zhu Cunli was beheaded, and at the beheading platform, the nine clans of Zhu Cunli, a total of 400 people, were executed. At the beheading platform, with an order, all their heads fell to the ground.
There were so many people watching that day! Those who owed money to Zhu Cunli’s family all clapped their hands and cheered!
Those who clapped and applauded were also those arranged by Zhong Shan.
Zhu Cunli is dead! The nine tribes have been destroyed. Who is next?
Among the courtiers, but most of the family members were involved in the Xumi Stone hype, who could ignore it? If others don't know, they have to do it themselves. The common people don't know much, but when the Tiancoleng Plan was launched, Zhong
Shan sent people to pay attention and collected enough evidence.
Zhu Cunli is just a precedent, an official with neither deep nor shallow involvement. There are many more involved, but they have not been exposed yet.
Zhu Cunli's nine clans were completely wiped out!
It extinguished the "people's anger". However, there can be a lot of "people's anger", and Zhong Shan can provide as much as he needs.
Inside the largest meeting hall in the household of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance.
"Master, Master, I'm sorry. Look, here's some information that suddenly appeared on the market!" A servant took out some pieces of paper and handed them to the master, who was the Minister of Household Affairs.
After reading the piece of paper, Shangshu Hube's eyes widened.
"Father, what's wrong?"
"Yeah, Laifu, what's the news?"
Everyone in the hall was puzzled. The head of the house gently handed the pieces of paper to everyone, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and sat down.
Everyone spread the news one after another! Everyone looked panicked, nervous, extremely nervous.
"What should I do?"
"What should we do? There must be someone, someone must be targeting us deliberately. This, this evidence is more detailed and more detailed than the Zhu family's. The Zhu family's nine tribes were wiped out, then..."
The people of the Zhu family were terrified. Some of the timid ones were even trembling.
After talking a lot, they all looked at the owner of the house.
Taking a deep breath, the owner finally opened his eyes.
"Father, what should I do?" one of them asked anxiously.
Looking at the crowd, the head of the family said: "It seems that we can no longer stay in the Sky City. Please inform the whole clan to prepare carefully and leave the city at midnight!"
"Leaving the city at Youshi? Father..." the man said anxiously.
"Either we are exterminated by His Majesty, or we leave as soon as possible. If we don't leave now, we will have no chance in the future. The world is so big, there is no place for our clan to survive? Let's go!" the head of the family ordered.
"Yes!" Everyone said in sadness.
Such as the situation of the Household Secretary, and many, many more. On this day, many very prestigious courtiers of the Dayu Dynasty suddenly received a large amount of evidence that their families had been confiscated and nine clans were wiped out.
Escape! Among the family heads, only a few thought carefully and prepared to plead guilty to His Majesty. Most of them fled overnight.
He escaped, and early the next morning, Nalan Piaoxue looked at the courtiers in groups in the court hall, slightly confused, but someone soon found out the source.
Fleeing out of fear of crime?
"Run away, run away! A bunch of trash, you are just like moths!" Emperor Nalan shouted angrily.
His Highness's courtiers in groups did not dare to interrupt, but they always felt that something bad was about to happen.
Emperor Nalan left angrily. In Emperor Nalan's view, it doesn't matter if these courtiers are gone. I can just promote some more. They are a bunch of pussies who can't do anything and are causing harm to the court. They should be punished!
Walking to the door of the palace, Emperor Nalan suddenly stopped and said to a eunuch behind him: "Give me a decree. These defectors are all collaborators and traitors. Everyone who finds them will punish them. They are wanted in the whole universe!"
"Yes!" the eunuch behind him immediately responded.
Courtiers? There are many people above the imperial court who are inactive, have no achievements, and cannot even make the slightest decision. They only rely on their kindness to the late emperor to make the whole family rich and successful in practice.
However, Emperor Nalan forgot one thing, that is, these people are all "highly respected" people, or in other words, in the eyes of outsiders, these people are capable of reaching heaven and are truly powerful people in the universe.
This group of Dayu ‘pillars’ and Dayu ‘backbones’ abandoned the Dayu Emperor Dynasty one after another and ran away one after another. Even if Zhongshan’s people didn’t fan the flames, people would still speculate.
What happened? What happened to the City in the Sky? What happened to Your Majesty? Why did so many courtiers run away? This is the pillar of the Dayu Emperor Dynasty and a symbol of the existence of the Dayu Emperor Dynasty system.
Even they defected? Not one person, but a group of them all!
What's going on? What happened in the Sky City? Did His Majesty think that he was going to lose, and then he started massacring the courtiers?
Of course, these people who fled will not tell the truth, and they will naturally put money on their faces. Then the destruction of the nine tribes by Zhu Cunli, the Minister of Rites, has proved that the Emperor Dayu's dynasty is over, completely over, and even His Majesty Nalan Piao's blood is no longer optimistic.
, all began to slaughter the ministers in despair!
Is the Dayu Emperor dynasty going to be defeated?
People's speculations are already like this, not to mention that there are still people arranged by Zhong Shan to keep an eye on it?
Another month later!
Dayu City, City Lord's Mansion, Central Hall.
Tie Xue ran towards the main hall with excitement on his face: "Grand Governor, good news, good news, Xiao Wang, just now, Xiao Wang's envoy arrived, saying that he would send troops for reinforcements the day after tomorrow!"
Tie Xue looked excited. He finally got through it. Another month. The Dayu Emperor was saved. The moment Tie Xue got the news, the first thing he thought of was to report it to the Grand Governor.
When he rushed into the main hall, what he saw was Grand Governor Yi Yan looking at the letter from the Sky City with a cold sweat.
Yi Yan turned a deaf ear to Tie Xue's excitement.
"Grand Governor?" Tie Xue called tentatively.
"It's over, the sky is falling!" Yi Yan threw the envelope in his hand dejectedly.
"Grand Governor, what's wrong?" Tie Xue looked surprised.
Pushing the letter in his hand, Tie Xue immediately grabbed it and looked at it.
"It's nothing. Your Majesty did a good job and killed well. These losers should have been abolished long ago and just promoted again!" Tie Xue said excitedly as he looked at the letter.
Looking at Tie Xue, Yi Yan shook his head with difficulty, showing a wry smile, as if he didn't know how to talk about it.
"Grand Governor, what's wrong?" Tie Xue asked in confusion.
"Abolish it? It should have been abolished long ago, but not now, absolutely not!" Yi Yan said.
"Why?" Tie Xue asked in confusion.
"Because these people are no longer as simple as courtiers, but have become pawns of the Great Luo Kingdom. Wherever they go, they spread the word to the world that the City in the Sky has fallen." Yi Yan said angrily.
"No way, they wouldn't say that, would they?" Tie Xue didn't believe it.
"They won't, but Zhong Shan will!" Yi Yan shouted angrily.
"Zhong Shan? No, it can't be! But we are still fine here!" Tie Xue didn't believe it.
"Are you okay? Haha, we are okay here, but this time the rumors will ruin nearly sixty cities. What will the Sifang City Lords think when they see these courtiers fleeing and passing by them? Zhong Shan said again
Propaganda, that is, the City in the Sky has fallen, and the Dayu Dynasty no longer exists. What should those city lords do? There are rumors. After the previous shocks, the hearts of these city lords are already very fragile. These rumors can already make them fearful.
Plus, these courtiers provided 'evidence' to prove that the City in the Sky had fallen. How could they not believe it? If people from the Da Luo Celestial Dynasty suddenly come forward to recruit people at this time...!" Yi Yanyue said, the more terrifying it became.
When Tie Xue heard what Yi Yan said, he opened his mouth and looked at Yi Yan blankly: "No way, it can't be such a coincidence, right?"
"Yes, it will definitely happen, because all this is designed, designed. My late emperor, I didn't teach your majesty well!" Yi Yan said with a somewhat crazy expression.
