"The Baisheng Pass depends entirely on you and your son. Don't let me down. The safety of the Central Plains now depends entirely on the survival of this pass——"
When Shi Yue heard this, he immediately raised his thick eyebrows. He glanced at Emperor Yuanchen and saw that there was no strange color on his face, then he bowed his head and said: "Of course! Father Commander, he has been in the army all year round and is a man who knows soldiers. A large army has few soldiers." , and our dynasty has now gathered millions of troops at Shengguan, and it is not difficult to hold the key point of Baisheng Pass. However, Commander-in-Chief Father, he pretended to pass the edict and forcibly summoned the troops and horses from various continents, violating the national law. Afterwards, my father will tell you I apologize to Your Majesty."
Emperor Yuan Chen listened quietly, looking at the young man in front of him with a half-smile.
Speaking of which, this son is also a figure of the same clan, with talents and military strategies that are unparalleled in the contemporary era.
Not only is his martial arts not inferior to that of Zong Shou, but his achievements in the outer realm are also very similar.
This time, Yin Yu was rescued from Zong Shou's hands with his own hands. But for what purpose, he didn't know.
Are you really loyal? Or do you want the Great Shang to fall and the Central Plains to fall into the hands of the Great Qian? Or do you want to use your talent to control the princes?
It’s all unknown——
And that stone thousands of miles away, a piece of fake edict, almost all the military power in the south of the Yangtze River was mobilized.
What a courage! In the past, he would have directly chopped off Shi Qianli's head. He would even take advantage of this to take advantage of it, confiscate all the Shi family's fiefdom, and kill the entire clan.
However, at this time, not only could the crime not be punished, but it could be comforted.
It was precisely because Shi Qianli blocked Baisheng Pass in time that the great merchants were left with some vitality and some hope.
What's more, Shi Yue saved his life——
However, the head of the Shi family, who usually followed the rules and did not dare to go out of his way in the slightest, dared to act like this.
I'm afraid it was also expected that Dashang would be unable to punish him at this time and could only rely on him.
This person and this clan are all worthy of death!
"What's the crime? This time, it's all thanks to your father that the foundation of Dashang can be preserved. Your father's edict is on file in the Internal Affairs Bureau, but it's not a fake edict——"
Yin Yu waved his hand, as if he didn't care.
"Your father is now in charge of the security of the southeast. It is best for him to have a good reputation and pass the edict on my behalf. Mr. Shi Qianli is loyal to the country and is good at military affairs. He is worthy of a big job. He can be the general of Zhennan and the governor of southern and western Ganxi. All the military forces in the Seven Continents! Stationed at Baisheng Pass, envoys will hold the festival, and Kaifu Yi will be with the three divisions! As for Shi Qing, you will stay with me. Now I am really short of people here. On the way back to Beijing, I also need someone to accompany me to protect me—— "
Shi Yue was startled again and was astonished. Zhi Chijie could kill officials below the third rank without the emperor's consent.
As for the Kaifu Yitong Sansi, they can appoint bureaucrats from the Kaifu.
The combination of the two is like a small imperial court, so it will never be given lightly to foreign ministers.
I never thought that Yin Yu would be so generous and entrust all the military power of the Seven Continents.
Once you decide to win over someone, you will never be petty and entrust them with great power without hesitation. You are worthy of being a hero.
But I could also vaguely feel the extremely hard-to-detect suspicion in Emperor Yuan Chen's words.
The last sentence is even more obviously tempting.
However, this was helpless. He could only use this method to persuade his father to take risks. Only this strategy could save Dashang.
At that time, there was no time to worry about how Emperor Yuan Chen would feel.
He was magnanimous in his heart. As a minister of great merchants, he would do his best. Even if he was suspected by the emperor, he only had to have a clear conscience.
But he is not a die-hard loyalist who doesn't know how to adapt and doesn't care about life and death. If he really has to reach that point, it is not difficult for him to raise a flag and rebel.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty! With Shi Yue here, I will definitely not disturb Your Majesty for a little while. However, I would like to ask Your Majesty to urge the imperial army and the inner court guards to come as soon as possible. With Shi Yue alone, there will inevitably be some oversights."
After a salute, Shi Yue stood up. He saw that Yin Yu seemed to be ten years older at this time. There were countless wrinkles on his face, he was very tired and tired.
Shi Yue frowned and hesitated to speak. He thought that it was not just Dashang who suffered heavy losses when he spoke. The losses suffered by various aristocratic families and vassal towns were also not inferior to Dashang.
At this moment, most of these people don't want the big merchants to get into trouble at this time.
It may seem like everything is in jeopardy, but if everything is handled properly, it will be a rare moment when everyone in the big business can work together as one.
But for him to say these words, it was a bit too much.
Just as he was hesitating secretly, he saw Yin Yu waving his hand, looking disappointed and exhausted.
Shi Yue also knew that Yin Yu's condition at this time was indeed not good and he could only withdraw from the main hall.
In fact, he himself has countless matters to deal with. For example, Nanfeng Yunlu, the food and fodder for the 700,000 troops, and how to arrange the empty ships, troops and horses still parked outside the territory.
There really isn't much time to spend on Emperor Yuan Chen.
After Shi Yue left, Yin Yu's expression was still gloomy and lifeless. A hint of relaxation flashed through the depths of his eyes.
Listening to this son's words, it seems that he really has no intention of coercing the emperor to order the princes, and he is somewhat loyal.
Although the safety was guaranteed, when he thought about the 18 million heroic troops of Dashang who were all lost in southern Xinjiang, he lost all hope.
There was only despair left in my heart, unable to ignite the slightest fighting spirit.
Looking at his side again, Yin Yu felt extremely lonely. In the past, if there were any difficult matters, he could summon his trusted ministers to discuss them together. However, at this time, he was truly alone. There was no one to rely on, and no one to help him.
Relieve his worries.
If Imperial Master Chongxuan is still there, if Gao Ruowei falls into the hands of Qianjun——
Just as I was thinking about this, I heard a familiar voice coming in from outside the door.
"Why is Your Majesty so frustrated? Your Majesty is completely demoralized. This doesn't look like Your Majesty -"
This voice?
Yin Yu was stunned for a moment and looked out of the hall. He saw a Taoist priest standing at the door with a smile. His voice, appearance, and smile were all the same as those of the deceased Chongxuan, but he was only twenty years old.
"National Master? You are not dead?"
After Yin Yu exclaimed in surprise, he suddenly came to his senses: "Is this really the eighty-ninth method of refining the soul and dividing the soul?"
The look in his eyes was one of surprise and uncertainty, and he knew the magical power of this Qi practitioner.
However, the souls separated by this method are not prioritized.
The dead Chongxuan was loyal to him, but this may not be the case for the person in front of him.
As if he had read through Yin Yu's mind, Chongxuan came in and explained calmly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Although this Chongxuan is not the other Chongxuan, he is still deeply involved in the fate of the Shang Dynasty. Even if it is for himself.
, Chongxuan will definitely do his best to help His Majesty!"
Yin Yu shook his head and thought about it carefully. At this time, Dashang and himself did not have anything worthy of plotting.
This mysterious statement is still somewhat believable. But——
"I still don't understand. At this time, the fortune of the country of Great Shang has declined. Even in my opinion, it can only last ten or twenty years at most. No matter whether you are a Taoist magician or a Qi practitioner in the country, this
You should always avoid big businessmen and stay away from them. Even if you leave me, I won’t blame you, so why return?”
"The fate of the country has declined? Your Majesty is actually so desperate?"
Chongxuan gave an unpredictable smile and said disapprovingly: "But in Chongxuan's view, it is still far from final. After the battle of the Yuan Shen Yuan, the sect sent out five major edicts to inform the world. I wonder if your majesty has ever witnessed it?"
While speaking, Chongxuan held a scroll in front of Yin Yu.
"Five edicts?"
Yin Yu's heart moved slightly. He was now alone in the Governor's Mansion in Northern Jiangsu, and the news was indeed blocked.
Shi Yue asked people to gather news from all over the place to him, but at this time he was so despondent that he had no intention of looking at it.
He took it with his hand, unfolded it and took a closer look, and Yin Yu frowned deeply again.
"What is this mess?"
Subsidizing farmers? Are these big cadres thinking that the tax revenue is too much?
The Great Shang Dynasty has had surpluses every year since he came to power, but they did not dare to spend them randomly. They were all saved in the treasury to prepare for disaster years or when troops were needed.
Seeing how this sect is governing, they are afraid that the money in the treasury will not be spent.
Is this to win over the people?
If a fairy cultivator in the cloud world is willing, he can kill tens of millions of people at will within a year. How much power do those insignificant farmers and ant people have?
But I can finally understand the last few items.
"Officials and gentry all receive food from one body? All the land in the world? This sect leader is so complacent!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Yin Yu's eyes, which no one else knew. The five great clans and other aristocratic families would definitely not agree.
"Recruit scholars from all over the world to comment on the Confucian disciples. Discuss the merits of Confucianism, comment on the faults of Confucianism! Examine Confucianism? Is this sect leader trying to push Zhu Xi into a desperate situation?"
These two edicts temporarily cut off Zong Shou's possibility of entering the Central Plains in a short time.
It alienated the powerful families in the Central Plains and gave up any hope of reconciliation with the Confucian scholar Zhu Zi.
His mind perked up slightly, and Yin Yu's spirit recovered slightly, but then he shook his head again and the fire in his eyes dissipated.
"It's useless! Although Zong Shou was young and frivolous, he was arrogant and arrogant after the victory, so he made this stupid move. But it will not be of any benefit to Dashang."
At this time, the Great Shang Dynasty is just hanging on to survive. With Zong Shou as a ferocious foreign enemy, the major aristocratic families may join forces to resist.
But once the major aristocratic families regain their strength, it will only be a matter of time before the various vassals and towns conquer each other, and the world will be in chaos.
At this moment, who would still take the Great Shang court into their eyes?
Na Chongxuan raised the corner of his lips again: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the matter about the Qin Emperor's tomb? If you can get the bronze men of the twelve towns to suppress the national destiny, not only can the great merchants be safe, but even counterattacking the great cadres, it is not What a difficult thing!"
Yin Yu suddenly stood up, his face uncertain.
And Chongxuan's face was full of evil smile: "I believe that my soul has also told you, Your Majesty. To open the tomb door, it takes the blood of 10,800 children born at dawn. Or it may take a blood sacrifice of 1.2 million men to open it!"
Yin Yu looked dazed and hesitant.
"My soul is dead, and the tomb map in his hand must have fallen into the hands of the King of Daqian. Now Your Majesty, you don't have much time to hesitate——"
Chongxuan said, suddenly paused. Seeing Yin Yu's gaze, he smiled and said: "It's the Zong Shou who has led a hundred thousand iron cavalry to kill the Sixth Ling Mansion Demon Spirit Mountain! This holy king is really incredible. The temperament that is willing to suffer losses. The Demon Sect is in trouble!" (To be continued.
