Another early morning, Li Muyi put on his dragon robe and crown, walked step by step to the Chaohui Hall and sat on the dragon chair.
The difference is that although it is not yet time to go to court, none of the civil and military officials who should have arrived long ago have arrived, and the hall is empty.
There was only one emperor and a chief eunuch.
After laughing, Li Muyi still sat on the dragon throne and waited quietly, even though he seemed to be no longer an emperor at this time.
This situation has been going on for three days, since the news came after Wu Xiong surrendered and Qingyun Pass was lost and Qian's army entered the pass.
There are no Zhou courtiers visible in this main hall.
For the past three days, Li Muyi came early, and unlike before leaving the court early, he sat there until dusk every day before leaving.
After Zhou Guo Wenwu found out, he thought that he might really miss the dragon chair.
Only Li Muyi himself knew what he was thinking.
When did something go wrong that led to the current situation?
Just as Li Muyi was deep in thought, a beautiful figure in white appeared in front of the hall, and then walked in step by step.
As usual, she did not perform court rituals, because she was not a minister, and then stood in her place in this hall.
Li Muyi smiled and sat upright, "Teacher, are you here to see the students off?"
Gongsun Yunxiu said calmly, "No."
"Then we're here to clear up the confusion."
Li Muyi crossed his arms, "Then when did I make the mistake during my two years in office?"
Gongsun Yunxiu said without hesitation, "In his two years in office, he rectified the military system, reduced taxes on the people, merged land, opened rivers in the two states, selected students from all over the country to enter academies, developed thunder chariots, gunpowder, and sent troops to attack Qianjing. There is nothing wrong with them, they are all actions that benefit the country, the people and the military."
"But the world turned into a pile of rags in my hands, so the students really want to know what went wrong." Li Muyi showed a look of helplessness. This is what he has been thinking about these days.
Gongsun Yunxiu looked at him and couldn't help but sigh, "I really want to say that there are only two things that are wrong."
"Being an enemy of Zhao Kang?" This is the answer Li Muyi came up with.
But he didn't think this answer was the fundamental reason. Even if he was an enemy of Zhao Kang, he would not ruin such a huge dynasty in such a short period of time.
It seems that he is the biggest loser in the world!
So he was puzzled. He could accept his failure and his country's subjugation, but he wanted to know what went wrong.
Killing his father to seize the throne, killing his brother to seize his mother, Li Muyi didn't think anything of it, and he didn't care whether he was famous or not.
And never regretted it.
Therefore, before this, he had full confidence in himself. The world is in the hands of me, Li Muyi, and the Zhou Dynasty will become the most powerful country in the world worthy of the name.
But now the truth slapped him in the face, so he wanted to know.
Gongsun Yunxiu shook his head, "This is not the fundamental reason. After all, you are too impatient."
Li Muyi's pupils suddenly opened.
Gongsun Yunxiu continued, "By merging the land, you are on the opposite side of the landowners and gentry. You have cut taxes on the people and made the tax officials and petty officials resent you. You have also rectified the military system and not allowed the officials' children to work indiscriminately. As a result, those second-generation ancestors have lost one of their jobs."
It’s about taking credit for your work.”
"Selecting students from poor families from all over the country to enter the academy will make the wealthy families completely disappointed in you."
"Besides, the opening of rivers between the two states, or the Pili Chao gunpowder, have affected the interests of some people, but you don't have the courage to cut through the mess with a sharp knife!"
"On the surface, it seems that no minister dares to disobey your will, but privately this is not the case, but it is a good thing after all."
Gongsun Yunxiu murmured, "But you are too hasty. You have to do so many things in two years. If you spend twenty years cutting flesh with blunt knives, little by little the people involved will be involved.
Cut into white bones, you will be the most outstanding emperor in the history of the Zhou Dynasty."
"It doesn't matter if you kill the king to seize the throne, but you have done so many things in only two years. When they are piled up, they become your biggest fault."
"Xiao Feiyu, King of Ning of the Qian Kingdom, has been dormant for more than thirty years in rebellion. Although he failed in the end, it would be great if you could learn from him the skill of forbearance."
His eyes slowly closed, and at this moment all Li Muyi's momentum disappeared.
He finally understood where he had gone wrong, but was unable to remedy it.
I don't know how long it took before Li Muyi felt that he had the strength to open his eyes and looked at Gongsun Yunxiu. "I let the teacher down."
As usual, Gongsun Yunxiu said, "I am not your teacher, and the talents you have shown are not something I can teach."
After hesitating for a moment, Gongsun Yunxiu said, "The one who is really disappointed in you is the late emperor."
Li Muyi was stunned.
Gongsun Yunxiu sighed and took out a bright yellow edict from his hand, "The late emperor once had a secret conversation with me. You and Li Musen are one dragon and one snake. The late emperor is actually more optimistic that you can transform into a dragon."
"You once wrote the Huimin Taiping policy that you asked me to help correct. In fact, the late emperor helped you read it and revised it. At that time, he said that your idea was very good and pragmatic, but it was too hasty and too petty."
"The emperor's administrative decrees should be punished and annexed by kings and tyrants, but you don't take advantage of either, so he ignored you to test your temper."
"It was also that day that I left this edict to inform me that if something unexpected happens one day, I would like you to succeed me."
"Now you are indeed ruthless and vicious, but the most important king has not learned."
this moment!
Li Muyi trembled all over, recalling that night in his mind.
Li Chengkun, whose face was covered in blood, grabbed his arm and opened his mouth. Hot blood kept pouring out of his throat and overflowing from the corners of his mouth.
Those originally dim pupils had never been so clear for a moment.
For a few seconds, the late Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty tried his best and used the last strength of his life to fight against the King of Hell's death, but in the end he just moved the corner of his mouth and did not say a word.
At this moment, Li Muyi finally understood the mouth shape, there were only four characters.
"You take the throne!"
Wiping away the tears from the corner of his eyes, Li Muyi said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry, "It turns out that the best teacher is right next to me."
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Gongsun Yunxiu, "Gongsun and everyone should have made a deal with the national preceptor Zhao Kang, right? That's why they came to kill the king."
Gongsun Yunxiu nodded and did not deny anything. She was indeed here to kill the king today.
Without using a knife and only using words and an edict, he killed the current Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty!
Li Muyi began to read out the names, and he read out the names of the civil and military ministers of the Zhou Kingdom one by one. Finally, he stretched out his hand and pointed in the air as if those civil and military officials were right in front of him.
"I am not the king of a subjugated country, you are all ministers of a subjugated country!" Another morning, Li Muyi put on his dragon robe and crown and walked towards the Chaohui Hall step by step to sit on the dragon chair.
The difference is that although it is not yet time to go to court, none of the civil and military officials who should have arrived long ago have arrived, and the hall is empty.
There was only one emperor and a chief eunuch.
