Chapter 847 The Truth of History

Inside the metal hall, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

On the high platform in the center, a man dressed in a golden nine-dragon suit was sitting at the table without saying a word, staring intently at a golden booklet on the table.

The man looked 27 or [-] years old, handsome and handsome, with a detached temperament.

But at this moment, the expression on his face was as cold as frost.

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise, and the man suddenly overturned the table in front of him, staring at the people below with red eyes.

"Trash! It's all a bunch of trash!"

"A 40 army! I have a mighty 40 army! I was blocked from the door by a small Hanyue City!"

"Half a month! A whole half a month! You can't even touch the city walls!"

"Their city guards add up to less than [-]! Are you ashamed!?"

Down below, several ministers all trembled, lowered their heads and dared not speak.

This Emperor Jingxuan is different from the previous puppet emperors, he is a real ruthless person.

It took only two years for the superior to unify the military power, and beat the barbarians all the way back to the south of Lizhou with iron and blood methods, deterring the government and the public.

This kind of power can be said to have existed in Korea.

However, it is such an emperor who has suffered a great loss in his own country.

Not long ago, battle reports came from the north.

The Sixth Route Army headed by the Jinlin Army, with a total of more than [-] people, suffered a big loss when they attacked Hanyue City.

The golden booklet His Majesty read just now is the battle report sent back urgently from the front line.

According to the battle report, the reason why they failed this time was not because of how powerful the city guards were, but because Hanyue City was protected by immortals, preventing them from breaking through the city.

On the outskirts of the city wall, there is a wall invisible to the naked eye. It is extremely strong, and it cannot be shaken by knives, guns, sticks, bows and arrows.

There is even a powerful monster in the city, it is a colorful giant tiger, jumping down from a tall building tens of feet into the crowd, killing countless people in an instant, the soldiers all ran away in fear.

The immortals in the city were even able to call the wind and call the rain, attracting rain clouds all over the sky. After heavy rain, it would last seven days. The outside of the city was completely submerged, and even the army began to suffer from epidemic diseases.

……

These are only part of the report in the military situation.

All the ministers can imagine what the scene over there will be like.

"Your Majesty! Hanyue City is protected by immortals, how can the soldiers with their mortal bodies easily contend with it..."

An elderly veteran couldn't help but said:

"Your Majesty, please take it back! Let the frontline soldiers come back! We really can't let them die!"

When the other people heard the words, they all quietly wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

I deeply admire this colleague for being able to say these words so boldly.

On the high platform, Jing Xuan stared at the old man below, slowly walked up to him, and said coldly:
"The battle is imminent, how dare you disturb our army's morale! Li Shiren! Don't think that I dare not kill you because you are my teacher!"

"Hanyue City resists the order and disrespects it, shuts the city gates tightly, and now even more respects monks, blatantly violating my will! Shouldn't such a person be killed!?"

Below, facing the awe-inspiring power of today's world, Li Shiren's face turned blue and purple.

He held it in for a long time, and after a while, he suddenly gritted his teeth, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty! The old minister doesn't understand!"

"No matter what, Hanyue City is also my city, and the people inside are my people! They just want to survive, Your Majesty! Why do you insist on killing them all? Both sides will suffer!"

As the voice fell, a needle could be heard in the Golden Book Pavilion, and the silence was terrifying.

After a long time, Jing Xuan's laughter came.

"Both losers... Ha ha... what a loser! Li Shiren! Don't you even think that I can't defeat those so-called immortals!?"

Although his voice was stern, everyone below could feel that His Majesty seemed to have lost that strong self-confidence compared to before.

"Old minister dare not!"

"I dare not wait!"

The crowd responded in unison.

Jing Xuan looked angrily at these duplicity courtiers, pointed at them with trembling fingers, and finally squeezed out a word.

"it is good!"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to be a little exhausted and took a few steps back, and sat down on the dragon chair all of a sudden, watching them silently.

"His Majesty?"

After a long time, someone couldn't help but wanted to ask about the situation, but was interrupted by him waving his hand.

"I know, you all want to ask why I insist on attacking Hanyue City..."

"All those present are loyal veterans of my Dafu Dynasty. There are some things, it's okay for me to tell you..."

All the ministers did not expect His Majesty the Emperor to say this suddenly, and they all became energetic for a while, intending to hear how he would explain it.

"It's not because I'm cold-blooded and bloodthirsty, it's because I don't want to see the chaos of the immortals repeat itself!"

Jing Xuan let out a long sigh, and looked towards the north, as if he saw the immortal from Hanyue City through that long distance.

"It has been more than 300 years since our Dafu Dynasty was established. At the beginning, Central Continent was in turmoil, and various countries were fighting for hegemony. We were just one of them."

"In such chaotic times, human life is like a mustard. People are dying every moment, countless corpses are buried every day, and countless small countries are annexed and destroyed."

The people below nodded. They naturally knew about this period of history.

"But have you ever thought about how the situation at that time was caused?"

Jing Xuan suddenly raised a question, which made everyone explain for a moment.

After a while, someone bowed and replied:
"Returning to Your Majesty, according to historical records, there were many countries at that time, and the strengths of the countries were almost the same, and they attacked each other. It was difficult for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and the people did not have a living. No one lives, no rooster crows for thousands of miles...Under such circumstances, how can there be unity...?"

The rest of the people nodded.

Indeed, the situation at that time was said to be very complicated, but the most important thing was that the population of the common people could not meet the requirements.

Under this premise, it is difficult to achieve unification even for those with great talents.

Jing Xuan listened silently, noncommittal.

Just when everyone thought he was acquiescing, they didn't expect him to speak again suddenly.

"Liu Qing is right, but... this is not the main reason."

"As the so-called major events in the world, the long-term must be united, and the long-term must be divided. The feudal lords compete with each other in ancient times, but have you ever thought about why throughout history, it is always short-term and long-term, and why?"

Everyone thought hard, but couldn't get an answer for a while.

Seeing this, Jing Xuan couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"The reason is very simple, that is the 'fairy disaster'."

"Fairy disaster?"

The ministers were puzzled when they heard the words. They had never heard of this word before today.

"That's right, these secrets have always been recorded in the royal family's Secret Pavilion, and it's normal for you not to know."

"I would like to ask you, when you first heard that monsters and immortals appeared in Hanyue City, did you secretly rejoice? Do you think that you will have the opportunity to cultivate and pursue longevity?"

Jing Xuan raised his hand to stop the ministers who wanted to speak, and continued:
"Don't rush to answer, I know your answer."

"Life is short, and everyone in the world is afraid of death and wants to live forever. This is human nature, and I am the same."

"But you may not know that not everyone can embark on the road of immortality. Among the hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps only one talented person can embark on this road."

"And have you ever thought about what will happen if you don't have the talent for cultivating immortals in this world?"

He paused when he said this, and the people below didn't react for a while.

After a while, Li Shiren, who was the leader, came back to his senses first, and the expression on his face couldn't help but change.

"Could it be...Your Majesty, do you mean..."

"Hehe, a person of the immortal way, who controls the power beyond the ordinary world, how can he be willing to live under others for a long time?"

"The laws of the mortal world will not be able to restrain them at that time, they can come and go freely, and killing people is as simple as picking something out of a pocket!"

"At that time, those common people, those wealthy households, and you officials, even me! All will become sheep at the mercy of others..."

"Such a scene, would you like to see...?"

Having said this, everyone already understood His Majesty's meaning, and their faces changed drastically.

That's right, if those ordinary people can reach the sky in one step, they can gain the power to control immortal magic.

Then who can guarantee that they will not worry about their current position?

At that time, I will really become a big fat pig waiting to be slaughtered, and everything on my body will become the fat that the other party can take.

This is undoubtedly bad news for the ruling class.

So, everyone finally understands.

Why did His Majesty the Emperor vigorously search for the immortal cultivators at the beginning, and then made such an act of exterminating the Dao in the end?

The original reason is here.

Your Majesty, this is to strangle the cultivators in their cradles and avoid situations where the cultivators cannot be sanctioned.

Over there, Jing Xuan stood up from the dragon chair, looked at everyone, and said slowly:
"Perhaps you still don't know what kind of virtue these so-called immortals have."

"300 years ago, immortal cultivators spread all over the land of Central Continent, and countless sects stood on the mountains and dragons, and the cultivation world flourished."

"However, their prosperity has not brought any benefits to the people. On the contrary, the lives of ordinary people are like ants in their eyes, not worth mentioning."

When Jing Xuan said this, the expression on his face gradually became ferocious.

"According to the records of the Secret Pavilion, some immortal cultivators were playing in the city. When they suddenly encountered a thunder calamity, they did not avoid it. In order to buy time, they went through the calamity in this ordinary city, affecting hundreds of thousands of innocent people!"

"There were also powerful monks who fought with each other, leveling dozens of villages with a wave of their hands, causing countless deaths and injuries!"

"There are also demon cultivators who, in order to quickly improve their cultivation, resort to unscrupulous means, use living people as blood sacrifices, and set up a large array to sacrifice an entire city! Create endless murder!"

"There is also the Xiuxian sect, in order to obtain resources and control the change of the dynasty, but do not care about people's livelihood, so that starvation is everywhere!"

"Why do you think it was like that back then? Why was the land of Central Continent unable to give birth to a dynasty with a long and prosperous national destiny? It's not because of them! Because of those cultivators!"

When Jing Xuan said this, he was already trembling with excitement.

He rubbed his forehead vigorously, and it took a long time before he calmed down and let out a long breath.

"This is the disaster of the gods, the disaster brought to us by the gods."

All the ministers below had completely lost their voices, and the expressions on their faces were extremely shocked.

Someone opened his mouth wide and let out a "ho ho" sound of unknown meaning.

There were also people who were so frightened that they fell to the ground, their eyes glazed over.

It turned out that the truth of history turned out to be like this.

In vain, I have read decades of sage books.

In the end, I didn't realize until now that there is such a terrible past hidden in this world!

Now, they finally fully understood the decision made by His Majesty the Emperor back then.

Not only that, but the information about the immortal cultivators must not be passed on.

If people in the world know that there are really immortal cultivators in this world, then more people will go to seek immortality and Taoism.

For any one thing, the more people who do it, the easier it will be to succeed.

Therefore, the secret of Hanyue City must be kept.

Those people who know the truth must also die.

Not only are they going to die, but even the cultivator who has appeared in Hanyue City is going to die too!
Only before the opponent has fully grown up can he have a chance to kill him.

This is why His Majesty the Emperor, even knowing that there are real immortals in Hanyue City, desperately besieged them.

"These secrets have been hidden for too long. What you see now is the result of what the founding emperor of the Dafu Dynasty did."

"At the beginning, there was the same Dao extermination operation as now, and all the inheritances of the immortal cultivators were cleaned and burned."

"Up to now, almost no one is discussing this matter... That's why our Dafu Dynasty can last for such a long time!"

"It's just a pity, after all, someone has taken that step again..."

Jing Xuan shook his head and sighed, his eyes filled with exhaustion.

Several ministers in Jinshu Pavilion also showed bitter expressions.

They knew that if the person in Hanyue City was allowed to continue to develop, the world would not be long before it would return to what it was 300 years ago.

By this time, no one has been seen to dissuade His Majesty from retreating.

Emperor Li Shiren never said a word of retreat.

Although those people are very innocent, they are still very insignificant compared to the millions of people living in this world...

This is a tough choice.

In the hearts of all the people present, it was as if a huge boulder weighing a thousand catties was pressing on them, making them unable to breathe no matter what.

"Your Majesty... I beseech you, the old minister, to lead the army... to take down Hanyue City for Your Majesty!"

An old general stood up and begged for his life.

He bowed his body and lowered his head, but his eyes were already filled with tears.
