The sunrise in the east seems to come from the clouds.
You Rui'er's eyes reflected the scorching sun that had just risen, and while showing a bright smile, she raised her hand and patted Sima Annan's shoulder, and said softly:
"This is the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen in my life, Sima Annan, please forgive me for your rude behavior of disturbing my sleep."
"Then I really want to thank you Miss You for your generosity."
Sima Annan took out a folding fan from his bosom, swayed it lightly, and continued speaking, with a faint voice:
"Do you feel that last night was very long, you didn't sleep much, why don't you squint for a while?"
After the boy came down with a caring voice, You Ruier shook her head, then raised her hands and stretched her waist, revealing a thrilling, exquisite and graceful figure, and responded:
"Sima Annan, I've been away from Beijing for so long, and I feel very tired right now."
"You are homesick."
You Rui'er continued to raise her right hand, supported her round and white chin, stared blankly at the sea of clouds in front of her, and continued to respond:
"I miss my mother. This year is the first time I have not celebrated the New Year at home. My mother and father must be very lonely. To be honest, as a daughter, I must be very unfilial in the eyes of others. "
You Rui'er turned her head to look at Sima Annan's serious face, showing a wry smile, a look of confusion flashed in her eyes, her red lips parted slightly, and her voice continued to come out faintly:
"I once thought about compromising on this and obediently living according to my father's arrangement, but I couldn't convince myself."
"I understand."
Sima Annan waved his folding fan, also looked at the sea of clouds in front of him, opened his mouth softly, took a breath, sighed, reached out and patted You Ruier's shoulder.
"I used to be like you, but I was even more unfilial. I left for nearly ten years and only returned home in the past few years."
Normally, the fiery You Rui'er would have glared when Sima Annan patted her on the shoulder, but at this time, the two people who were in the same situation seemed to feel each other's hearts.
Although Sima Annan liked to speak out on weekdays, he actually had a thin face, so he just patted him lightly, then withdrew his hand, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and fell into a long silence.
Mr. Sima, who has always been escaping, was extremely silent, which made You Rui'er a little bit different, and then the latter turned sideways, and said curiously:
"Sima Annan, I'm not used to you being so serious all of a sudden."
Sima Annan stared into the girl's eyes, hesitant on the handsome face, then opened his mouth and said:
"Rui'er, there is one thing, I think it's better to tell you."
Looking at Sima Annan's solemn face, You Rui'er gradually put away the smile on her face, and said tentatively in a low voice:
"What's the matter? But it's about me?"
Sima Annan nodded, gently took out a letter from his pocket, and handed it to the girl beside him, the voice continued:
"This is the news from Shenjing City last night. Your father was directly arrested by the Radiant Army, and His Majesty personally interrogated him in the White Emperor Palace this morning!"
As soon as Sima Annan's words came out, You Rui'er took the envelope with his right hand and shook it violently. After taking it, he opened it, raised his eyes and scanned it, bit his lips firmly, without any hesitation, and said directly:
"Sima Annan, I know you must still have a teleportation scroll on your body, give me one, and I will go back to Shenjing immediately."
"You Rui'er, I am guarding here now, and I can't get away, and once you return to Shenjing City alone, I will have no way to protect you anymore, do you understand?"
Sima Annan's expression was incomparably solemn, and his voice was full of dignity, while on the opposite side, You Rui'er showed a strength and calmness that far surpassed that of ordinary women of the same age.
The girl who dared to love and hate nodded solemnly, and continued:
"I understand that this is a matter of my own family. In any case, I don't want to involve you in it."
After the words were finished, You Rui'er stretched out her right hand and spread it out, the meaning was self-evident, then Sima Annan sighed lightly, no longer hesitated, and took out a palm-sized scroll from his bosom again and placed it on the former's palm.
You Rui'er tightly held the teleportation scroll in her hand, looked at the young man sitting on the ground below, her complexion changed, she hesitated to speak, and finally she only said a few words softly:
"Thank you!"
Then the girl tore open the teleportation scroll, and after choosing Shenjing Station, a blue and white beam of teleportation light rose into the sky above the high pavilion in the center of the Jiange Pavilion. After three breaths, the beam of light wrapped You Ruier's figure and disappeared in place.
The beam of teleportation light dissipated, and Sima Annan was the only one left sitting cross-legged on the top of the pavilion. The gusts of wind on the pavilion blew his clothes and hair backwards. feel.
But at this moment, the young man's face was extremely melancholy, even a little dazed. The best man in Shenji Pavilion was walking in the world, staring blankly at the sea of clouds surging in front of him, and murmured:
"Why, my heart is clearly in a panic, but I still can't figure it out. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have given me a big problem."
Just as Sima Annan was melancholy alone, on the top of Wanjian Mountain, above the incomparably wide Burial Sword Lake, thick mist floated again. This mist was not natural gray-white, but blue, which contained infinite sword energy. .
If the disciples of Jiange are still here, they will be no strangers to this blue color, because in the past half a year, the entire Burial Sword Lake was filled with this kind of blue sword energy. is gradually taking shape.
However, just last night, the green lotus formed by all the sword qi in the entire Jianjian Lake was cut out by Murong He with a single sword, and it was completely consumed. The sky is surging, and the meaning it represents is extremely unusual.
Amidst the mist, Murong He's not-tall figure in a coir raincoat sat firmly on the ground, his eyes calmly staring at the incomparably clear lake surface. The direction of the head is slightly tilted, as if worshiping and surrendering.
Then Murong He's ordinary face showed some thought, and he muttered:
"Only the purest sword can go in the direction it wants to go. I am a sword. It turned out to be me before. Not pure enough, but more pure."
After the murmur fell, Murong He closed his eyes, and his whole body completely sank into the lake surface, down to the bottom of the lake.
He turned into a sword, the same sword as the countless sword souls stuck in the bottom of the lake.
Chapter 0701
The north wind howled, the light snow fell, and the city of Shenjing was fully recovered after the day was completely bright. Starting today, the ten-day holiday of the New Year’s Day will all end. The adults in every household will go out to work early, and the children will also go to the school. Listen to Mr. Lecture.
But maybe it hasn't changed all of a sudden, not only Shenjing, the most powerful city in the Great Xia, but even the entire 36 states of the Great Xia, seem to have a hint of laziness.
For a young country like Daxia, the officials who entered the court as officials actually had to work harder than ordinary people. Not only did they have to get up early to discredit the early court, the Daxia Officials' assessment of officials was extremely perfect, Moreover, there is the almost pervasive Sitianjian, which makes it difficult for ordinary corrupt officials to hide.
When Princess Wu Zhaoxiu was in power, she focused on recuperating and developing the country. She rarely launched wars abroad, and her governance of officials in the court was very clear, so she accumulated extremely strong capital. After Zhao Yu succeeded to the throne, she could directly continue The main reason for launching several foreign wars.
War has never been a simple collision of sharp blades and strong shields. Behind it is the scheduling and game of the entire dynasty, which consumes the accumulated national power.
The army is militaristic and spends tens of thousands of dollars, while the horses are released to the south of the mountain, and the swords and guns are stored in the warehouse, which is unable to guard the frontier. Therefore, how to grasp the balance between the two is an important indicator to measure the ability of an emperor.
White Emperor Palace, Imperial Garden.
Zhao Yu propped up one hand, lay reclining on the soft bed, closed his eyes to rest, and his mind was full of thoughts.
Zhao Yu stayed up all night last night, so after returning early, he took a nap in the imperial garden, and then Liang Po's figure appeared from outside, came to the young emperor, and said softly:
"Your Majesty, we have arrived."
"Then let them all in."
A steady voice came from the mouth of the young emperor, and then Zhao Yu opened his eyes, stood upright, raised his hand to take a sip of the tea on the table, and calmly stared at the group of people filing in ahead.
The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry are all there, as well as several veterans and cabinet scholars.
The young emperor did not have high requirements for etiquette, so each official put a futon in front of him. After saluting, he sat cross-legged on the green lawn. Although the atmosphere was not depressing, everyone felt a little uncomfortable because of You Tingjian's absence. There is also a little stiffness.
Zhao Yu raised his head, reached out and gently rubbed his swollen brows, looked around for a week, and saw those senior officials on the second rank with dignified faces and stiff bodies, and gently pointed at Liang Po beside him. Opened the mouth and said:
"Give them a cup of tea to relieve their fatigue. The plan of the day lies in the morning. Why do they all look so bad!"
After a while, a row of maids came in with tea, and poured a cup of tea carefully for every official. After the fragrance of the tea filled the air, Zhao Yu's voice came from above again:
"This time I called you to the Royal Garden, because I have a few separate matters to explain."
The emperor's voice fell, and the people below were sitting in danger, bowing their heads to accept orders, and then Zhao Yu took out a folder and opened it, and it was the letter of guilt sent by You Tingjian to the White Emperor's Palace last night, and the voice resounded throughout the imperial garden again:
"This is an apology written by You Tingjian a long time ago. It lists all the exchanges with Shan Wenbai. The most important thing is that Shan Wenbai began to secretly fund a large amount of people like You Tingjian 30 years ago. The talented person here, the talent here, I refer more to the talent of cultivation!"
As soon as these words came out, the people below paused for a moment holding the hands of the teacups, their eyes showed thoughtful expressions, and then Zhao Yu's calm and normal voice sounded in their ears again:
"You Tingjian listed a series of names in the booklet, about a hundred of them, all of whom have received the favor of Shan Wenbai together. I asked Si Tianjian to check the file overnight. You might as well guess, what is the result of the search?"
In the end, Zhao Yu's voice became louder and louder, with an extremely strong majesty in his calmness, every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone below.
Under the presence of the vast imperial prestige, these officials immediately changed from sitting to kneeling, and responded in a low voice:
"Your Majesty forgive me, I don't know!"
Zhao Yu threw the letter with densely packed names in his hand on the imperial table in front of him, and Emperor Huanghuang's voice rolled out again:
"You Tingjian listed nearly a hundred names, among whom there are 97 who have files to check, of which [-] were officials who entered the court, and [-] are still in office.
"Except for You Tingjian, who is ranked as the Second Rank Shangshu, the rest of the ranks are still not high, but they are not low, and this is only what You Tingjian knew back then, and it has been nearly 30 years since then, congratulations Fu, do you know what to do?"
Zhao Yu's voice was full of coldness, and then Minister of the Ministry of Officials, He Fu, hurriedly fell to the ground, regardless of spilling the tea in his hand, and kowtowed in response:
"The minister will conduct a comprehensive investigation of all court officials to ensure that no fish slips through the net."
"I only have one request, don't be wronged, don't let it go, I will ask Si Tianjian to fully cooperate, and if necessary, mobilize Night Dire Division, just kill me directly, don't go on business again."
"Yes!"
He Fu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, got up, but before he knew it, his back was drenched in cold sweat, and everyone knew that there might be a storm that was about to sweep through the officialdom in Daxia.
After the Minister of the Ministry of Officials accepted the order, Zhao Yu stared down, stopped for a few breaths, and his voice continued to linger under the Xuantian tree:
"There are 97 people on the list who have files to check. Except for the 63 officials who are officials in the court, the rest are all talented in practice. There are 63 disciples of the sect, and the rest are casual cultivators. And these [-] disciples of the sect Among them, six of them have reached the realm of Daoshi Grandmaster."
After Zhao Yu's words fell, everyone let out an uncontrollable exclamation. There are less than a hundred practitioners, but there are six dao realities. Start a sect!
Six out of one hundred is enough to show the talents of these people and Shan Wenbai's vicious vision.
Zhao Yu raised the fingers of his right hand, tapped the table in front of him lightly, squinted his eyes, the coldness in his eyes became more and more intense, and the bright red cinnabar pattern on the avenue suddenly became hot, and he continued to speak road:
"The most important thing is that the six sect disciples at the master level, including some practitioners on the list, died mysteriously one after another within ten years and disappeared without a trace."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Yu raised his hand and slapped the imperial table in front of him. The objects on it shook violently, and at the same time, the officials below shook their bodies.
The emperor's prestige accumulated to the extreme exploded, and the entire imperial garden suddenly blew up. Even the tall Xuantian tree kept trembling, and the leaves rustled.
"Dare to play tricks of sneaking into Chen Cang under Daxia Zhao's nose, good, good!"
Chapter 0702
The tyrants, with their ambitions of wealth and wolf, secretly plot evil, want to destroy the pillars, but they are decisive and swift, not limited by the road, accurate and short-term.
Shan Wenbai is undoubtedly a hero!
Although he had died, the influence he left behind still faintly covered the entire Great Xia, and gradually surfaced as he peeled off the cocoon, but the involvement was so great that all the officials in the imperial garden were terrified.
It was hard for everyone present to imagine how many talented human races Shan Wenbai had secretly recruited in the past 30 years, and removed all of them from their shells and transferred them outside of Daxia.
In other words, in these years, Shan Wenbai, who was the remnant of the great master of the former dynasty, was like a blood-sucking worm secretly attached to the Great Xia Dynasty, greedily sucking the blood of the talents who originally belonged to the Great Xia Dynasty. It was a great shame and humiliation since the beginning of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it was also the reason why Zhao Yu was so angry at this time.
When the emperor was angry, the void trembled, everything was silent, and even the air stopped flowing. As the leaders of the six divisions, He Fu and the others rarely saw Zhao Yu so angry, because what Shan Wenbai did, shook him. The foundation of the entire Great Xia inheritance.
After a long time, Zhao Yu's complexion returned to normal, and then he opened his mouth and asked:
"Everyone, where do you think Shan Wenbai will place these people?"
The voice of the young emperor's inquiry fell, and a veteran from the Ministry of War directly below said:
"Returning to Your Majesty, although the time span of Shan Wenbai's transfer of personnel is extremely long, several years or even more than ten years, the ministers are confident that they will never be able to hide within the 36 states, and must be outside the country."
The veteran's response was loud and convincing, and when his voice fell, all the officials under the imperial table fell to the ground, and a uniform voice came out from below:
"The ministers swear by their lives that they will never be within the territory of the country!"
These old ministers have been in power for a long time. Shan Wenbai has been secretly in Chencang for so many years, and he is already ineffective. If he really builds a huge force in the 36 states without knowing it, they can wipe their necks with knives without Zhao Yu's hands. Apologize with death.
"The vast land of Shenzhou, beyond the 36 states of Great Xia, is nothing more than the wild forests in the southwest, the snowfields in the extreme north, the islands in the east sea, and the endless mountains. Combined with the previous series of information, I already have the answer in my heart. "
The people sitting in the imperial garden are all Daxia think tanks, so many things can be revealed at a glance. Several fiery generals have already opened their mouths with murderous intent:
"Those snowmen tribes in the extreme northern snowfield are really looking for death. It seems that Liuli City may no longer be reliable!"
"The extreme northern snowfield is too cold, not to mention the difficult conditions, and the lack of resources, which is nothing to Daxia. At the beginning, Grandpa Taizu was only Chen Bingjianmen, who killed all the chiefs of those big tribes and forced the snowmen Signing the surrender treaty, but never thinking about it, gave Shan Wenbai a chance to exploit loopholes."
Zhao Yu's voice sounded under the Xuantian tree, and then the young emperor raised his hand and took a sip of the bitter tea in his hand, his brows were slightly frowned, and his doubtful voice came out again:
"However, Tianmen Pass is guarded by King Bei'an. I am very curious about how Shan Wenbai deceived the eyes of King Jiang of Bei'an and transferred the monks secretly. What idea?"
As soon as this question came out, Liang Po behind Zhao Yu took a step forward and said softly:
"Return to Your Majesty, the son of King Bei'an replied this morning that he will investigate and find out the truth within a day."
"I see. If there is any latest news, you can report it directly. Since the matter has come to this point, it cannot be undone, but this thread must be cut off. All people who have anything to do with it, no matter who they are, will have to pay the price for it." !"
Zhao Yu got up lightly, walked down, under the sky crown, his eyes were burning, and then the command sound rolled out:
"He Fu, the officials of the Ministry of Officials will conduct a self-examination. I limit you to complete it within one month. At the same time, the Ministry of War arranges that within this month, the Southwest Wilderness Army and the Northeast Canglan Army will all integrate the Taoist souls of the soldiers from the ancient ruins, and among them the most talented , promoted to the Angry Beast Army."
"I will obey your orders!"
The two ministers below knelt down to receive the decree, then Zhao Yu turned his head to the Minister of the Household Department, and continued to speak:
"The Imperial Household Department, starting today, will increase the purchase of animal clothing, cotton, animal meat and other items to keep out the cold throughout the country. If I still want to use force against the extreme northern snowfield in the end, then I hope that the logistics supply can be improved. If If you have any questions, you can ask them."
