I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 582

In this way, with less than an hour left before the new year, the emperors of Qian, Hui, Jue, and Ji four countries finalized the strategy for this great battle at Longchan Temple.

And this also means that this war that is destined to be recorded in the annals of several countries will no longer be avoided.

How many people will die in such a war?What impact will it have on the people of Daning, Dashu, and Xinfeng?
No one knows these things.

But Lu Hongji and the others would not hesitate or feel guilty.

In the world of great contention, one general succeeds and ten thousand bones die.

This is even more true for Yu Guo.

Strong is strong, weak is perish.

Any pity and kindness are superfluous in major matters concerning the fate of the country, and everyone only thinks about one thing.

That is how to maximize one's own interests, how to become the king of the world.

From this point of view, although the four emperors formed an alliance, they must have their own calculations in their hearts, but it is not yet the time to see each other.

Therefore, the two-year civil strife between Fengning and Ningxia is more like a god-sent opportunity, giving them the opportunity to realize their respective ambitions.

"Come on!"

"Bring the wine!!"

"."

Soon, the glass was full of wine, and every drop was full of imperial domineering.

Holding the wine cup high, Lu Hongji stood up for the first time.

As the "host", the meal started with him, and naturally he will end it.

His eyes swept over the other three people one by one, no matter whether it was true or false, his voice became extremely bold at this moment.

"Everyone!"

"Heaven sends murderous intentions, moving stars and places! Earth sends murderous intentions, dragons and snakes rise to land!"

"Next year today, we will surely leave our name in history, and all generations will cherish it!"

"This time it's happening!"

"It will happen!!"

Shuzhou City, Weiyang Palace.

Compared with the excitement of Longchan Temple, the atmosphere in Weiyang Palace is still so extravagant.

Wei Changtian, Ning Yuke and You Wenzong stood on the vermilion wall, overlooking the bustling area below them, while Wei Xianzhi, Xu Qingwan and others were drinking and chatting not far behind.

Mountains and seas topple palaces and palaces, Guanhe Tianxing hangs upside down.

Countless flying lanterns connect the sky and the earth, and it is full of flames as far as the eye can see.

At this moment, it seems that everyone is experiencing the happiest and most beautiful time.

And Wei Changtian finally vaguely understood why You Wenzong insisted on holding such a feast.

"Young Master Wei, Your Majesty, Prime Minister You."

"Su Sheng just wrote a poem to praise the prosperity of Dashu"

"."

Beside him, the little eunuch softly recited the poem that Su Wu just wrote, and the three of them were slightly taken aback after listening to it.

I have to say, I don't know if it was because of drinking, or because the event was too extravagant, which gave Su Wu an unmistakable "Wonderland" experience.

In short, his poem is really excellent, and it can be regarded as a super-level performance.

"Because I know that the fairy cave on the sea is just like a wealthy family in the world"

Wei Changtian repeated it several times in a low voice, and then looked at everything in front of him.

Rather than saying that Su Wu is exaggerating, it might be better to say that he is "realistic".

He knew that this poem would probably spread around soon, and become a sample of "The Prosperous Age", and perhaps it could be passed down through the ages.

It's just that poetry can last forever, but prosperity may not.

"Young master, don't you want to compose a song?"

Suddenly, You Wenzong who was next to him asked with a smile: "If you write another poem, and the two poems are equally brilliant, tonight's feast will be considered complete."

"Writing poetry?"

Wei Changtian was taken aback for a moment, looked at You Wenzong, then looked at Ning Yuke who seemed to be looking forward to it, and then shook his head under the slightly surprised eyes of the two.

"Let's just write poetry."

"Su Sheng's poem is already very good, so I won't make a fool of myself."

"."

Obviously, Wei Changtian's refusal was unexpected by You Wenzong and Ning Yuke.

After all, the poetic talent of the former has been proven repeatedly, and he is definitely no longer inferior to Su Wu.

What's more, today's occasion is so special. If I can really compose a song of similar level, I think it will be a good story in the future.

But Wei Changtian is unwilling to write poetry.

Of course he can't recite it.

There are so many poems describing the prosperous times in the previous life, and any one of them will have more depth than Su Wu's poem, which only describes the scenery.

Therefore, the reason why Wei Changtian didn't want to pretend to be this aggressive was simply because he was not interested.

Or in other words, he has no interest in praising all this
"You phase."

Turning his head to look at You Wenzong, Wei Changtian's voice was not loud.

"I will stop writing poems."

"But I do have a few words to say."

I have something to say.

Wei Changtian could directly say what he wanted to say without having to add such a sentence.

So obviously, he didn't just want to say these words to Ning Yuke and You Wenzong.

"Come on!"

"Drumming!"

You Wenzong understood Wei Changtian's meaning in an instant, and immediately ordered people to beat the giant drum on the city wall.

And with the sound of dull drums, all the hustle and bustle in Weiyang Palace gradually stopped.

Everyone stopped talking, but looked up at Zhu Qiang together, focusing on Wei Changtian who was standing in the front.

A black robe faced the entire city of Shuzhou, like the only darkness in the light.

"It's Young Master Wei!"

"Does Mr. Wei also want to compose poems?"

"It doesn't look like it."

"."

At the foot, I noticed that the person who spoke was not Ning Yuke, and many people were whispering.

It's not that they don't know about Ning Yuke's relationship with the Wei family, they're just a little surprised by Wei Changtian's current behavior.

After all, Ning Yuke is the nominal empress of Dashu, so she should be the one to say a few congratulatory words at this time.

And Wei Changtian has never delivered a "speech" on such a large-scale occasion before.

So, what does Mr. Wei want to say?
The same question more or less appeared in everyone's mind, including Xu Qingwan, Yang Liushi, Liang Qin and others who were standing not far behind Wei Changtian.

For a moment, everyone looked at the man in the center of the prosperous and prosperous world, quietly waiting for him to compose a poem, congratulate Xin, or
"Everyone, I just heard about Su Sheng's new poem."

Looking at Su Wu, Wei Changtian smiled and nodded slightly at the former.

"This poem expresses the current prosperity of my great Sichuan, and it is not an exaggeration to say every single word."

"But have you ever thought about where such a prosperous age came from?"

"."

As if in an instant, Wei Changtian only used one question to make the whole Weiyang Palace fall into silence.

Where did such prosperity come from?

This question seems to be easy to answer.

Because of Ning Yuke?Because of the Wei family?Because of him Wei Changtian?
Looking at the figure standing in the wind, everyone understood that what Wei Changtian was going to give was not these "standard answers".

The galaxy is brilliant, covering all directions.

After pausing for a moment, Wei Changtian pointed to the huge golden dragon beside Su Wu in the silence.

"Everyone, do you know how this golden dragon came from?"

"It was carved and inlaid by more than one hundred craftsmen day and night, and it took a full half a month to make it."

"I don't know if it's okay."

"But you should know how the wine in your hands came from."

"From planting rice to brewing fine wine, how many steps are there? How much manpower will it cost?"

"Even if you don't know, you know the general idea."

"."

When Wei Changtian suddenly started talking about some inexplicable things, all the hilarity seemed to come to an abrupt end at this moment.

Some people have roughly understood what he wants to say, while others are still at a loss.

But Wei Changtian didn't stop.

"And the clothes we wear, whether it's linen, cloth, silk, or silk, are also stitched by thousands of stitches."

"It's like the sword on the waist of a warrior, and the sheath outside the sword."

"The pen in the hand of a literati, the paper under the pen."

"A bed for you to sleep in, a house for you to live in"

"Do you know where all of these come from?"

"."

Having said that, it is obvious what Wei Changtian wants to express.

Everyone's eyes widened in a daze, and their breathing became short of breath.

At this time, if he came up with a famous saying such as "the people are the foundation of the country", or "the people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is the least", it will undoubtedly raise the level of this speech to a higher level in an instant.

However, Wei Changtian didn't say these things, he just shook his head lightly.

"Everyone, you are all important ministers of Dashu."

"I know that each of you must be well-educated and full of knowledge, and most of you are from famous families, and you have no worries about food and clothing since you were young."

"And what about the people in Shuzhou City?"

"They have never read a book, and they don't know a single big character."

"They haven't practiced martial arts, maybe they haven't even touched a sword."

"They don't have much money, and they only have two or even one simple meal a day."

"They have no ambitions, let alone any great future."

"You may despise them."

"But the prosperity you see actually comes from each of them."

"."

As Wei Changtian's voice grew louder, more and more flying lanterns swayed in the night sky.

Looking at these flying lanterns floating from all over Shuzhou City, everyone in Weiyang Palace seemed to see ordinary faces.

The sudden surge of emotion in my heart turned into tremors in my body, into clenched fists, into an excitement I had never felt before.

Especially for a person of ordinary background like Xu Qingwan, the eye sockets have already turned red.

Since ancient times, the king is the most precious and the people are the humble.

Therefore, since ancient times, the monarch and the people have never been truly united.

But now, Wei Changtian wants to tell these hundreds of court officials and the people all over the world.

This Great Shu does not belong to Ning Yuke, nor does it belong to the Wei family, but everyone's Great Shu!

"Everyone!"

With a sound of "Cang Lang", Wei Changtian suddenly pulled out the leaky shadow, and Wei Changtian held up the long knife, with clear and magnanimous words.

"You must already know what the Four Kingdoms are about to commit!"

"If the enemy succeeds, then this prosperous age will cease to exist!"

"The prosperous age is about to fall, and the abyss is on the side, are you willing to die with me?!"

"Use the sword made by the people! Wear the clothes sewn by the people! Drink the wine made by the people!"

"Then keep them, no, our prosperity!"

"You guys, are you willing?!"

"."

"willing!!"

"I'm waiting for it!!"

"For Dashu! For the people! Fight with those sons of bitches!!"

"I would rather die! Never retreat!!"

"Kill the thief!"

"Kill the thief!!"

"Kill the thief!!!"

After a breath, deafening shouts resounded throughout the Weiyang Palace.

At this moment, these big figures who are usually aloof are like young swordsmen who are full of enthusiasm.

They were trembling, excitedly and innocently yelled out "childish" words that would never have come out of their mouths before, and knelt down under the red wall one by one.

Even Ning Yuke almost forgot her current identity.

She bit her lips tightly, stared blankly at Wei Changtian's side face, watched the latter suddenly cut the long knife into the city wall under her feet, and watched the latter shout in the most resolute tone amidst the light connecting the sky and the earth:

"it is good!"

"Anyone in the world who dares to offend me will be punished!"

"I swear that I will die nine times without regret!!"

Turning back abruptly, he casually snatched a jug of wine from a maid who was stunned in place.

Wei Changtian raised his neck and took a big sip, then while holding the wine jar, he laughed loudly and said:

"Everyone!"

"Have a drink tonight!"

"Wake up tomorrow and kill the thief!!"

With endless freedom and boldness, the smell of wine soared into the sky, turning into a little starlight among the flying lanterns in the sky.

Countless people in the city of Shuzhou who are celebrating the New Year look up at this illusory radiance, with happy smiles on their faces.

The common people actually know the news that the Four Kingdoms are about to commit crimes.

but
"Her father, do you think Shuzhou City will still be like this at this time next year?"

Among the crowded crowd, a woman took a little girl by the hand and asked the man beside her in a low voice, "Will the thief come to our place?"

"how could I know."

Shaking his head, the dark-skinned man said with a smile: "This is what the adults in the court should think about. You and I will just plow our own fields."

"But if we can really hit Shuzhou City, we should think about what to do then!"

The woman was a little anxious: "Even if you are escaping, you must have a place to go!"

"Escape? Where can I escape?"

The man touched the tip of his nose: "If the thieves really hit Shuzhou City, then the other places would have already belonged to the thieves."

"How about going to Dali?"

The woman lowered her voice and asked, "Don't you have a cousin in Dali?"

"But."

The man was about to say something in embarrassment, but a childish voice suddenly came from his ear:

"Father, mother, how wonderful the city is! Why do we still have to run away?"

"Good boy, you don't understand."

The woman touched the girl's head, and her voice softened a lot: "Because there are bad guys coming, father and mother are afraid that you will be bullied, so let's go to a place where there are no bad guys."

"Oh"

The little girl responded half-understood, then raised her head and asked, "But mother, where are there no bad guys?"

"Besides, if the bad guy is coming, let's drive him away!"

"Why are you running away?"

"Is it because those big brothers in official uniforms don't care about us?"

"."

Looking at the ignorant eyes of the daughter, both the woman and the man were stunned for a moment.

They subconsciously turned their heads to look at the patrolling officer on the street, the smile on the latter's face, and the saber on his waist.

There are many pedestrians on the bustling streets, but no one is afraid of these officials, let alone their knives.

Because now all the people in Shuzhou City know that the officials of the government will never do those evil things.

At this moment, the couple suddenly felt guilty.

"Her father."

"Um"

The two looked at each other and finally made up their minds.

"Okay, let's not run away."

"Let's help those big brothers drive the bad guys away."

"."

"Ok!"

The little girl nodded happily, and was quickly attracted by a hawker selling lanterns not far away.

"Father! I want to buy lanterns! Just buy the smallest one!"

"Hahaha, let's go! Let's take a look!"

"Okay! Mom! Hurry up!"

"Here we go! Run slowly, don't fall!"

"."

The ancient city of Qianqiu reflects the history of thousands of years.

Everything in the city is so blooming and magnificent.

In the future, there may be many soldiers who never return, wanderers wandering in all directions, and continuous wars.

Therefore, some people think that tonight is the last prosperity of Fengning and Ningxia.

But there are also many people who feel that this should never be "the last".
