Chapter 678 Infernal Affairs ([-])
"One day is a Hongyan person, and a lifetime is a Hongyan person!"

"Yuan Tiangang! Yuan Tiangang! Have you forgotten Hongyan's ideal? Have you forgotten the empress' tragedy?"

"I haven't forgotten! I haven't forgotten!"

When the cock crowed at dawn, an old man woke up from a nightmare, covered in cold sweat.

Although he is 80 years old, he has been exercising all year round and looks like a middle-aged man in his 40s.

He had a nightmare. In the dream, another self asked him why he should slack off, why he should enjoy his old age, and why he should be so decadent.

This is Chang'e City/Yutu City, the capital of Yan State, and also the place where the parliament of the Republic is held.

After decades of reconstruction, Jade Rabbit City has returned to its former prosperity. Considering that Chang'e City and Jade Rabbit City are very close to each other, the Yan State simply merged the two cities.

Yuan Tiangang's father was originally a Taoist priest in the Central Plains, who specialized in observing astronomical phenomena. During the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he took his family to live in the country of Yan.

Later, their family became slaves because of bankruptcy. Yuan Tiangang worked in the plantation land reclamation since he was a child.

As a plantation slave, he also secretly joined the Hongyan Road underground organization and was always ready to rebel.

It was the Queen who saved him and his family.

The Queen's "Abolition of Slavery/Release of Slavery" brought back a new life to millions of serfs in Yan State.

The queen is Yuan Tiangang's idol and his spiritual pillar.

When she heard the news that the Queen had been assassinated, she also followed other people and stormed the parliament hall, smashing the thrones of the parliamentarians.

Time has passed, and now he is already an embroiderer of the [Embroidery Department] of the Republic.

The Republic's [Embroidered Clothes Department] is modeled after the Embroidered Clothes Envoys of the former Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It specializes in collecting intelligence and conducting secret investigations for the Republic.

During the Queen's reign, Hongyan Dao disappeared. Many Hongyan Dao members were very happy to become the Queen's subjects. At that time, Hongyan Dao also took the initiative to help the Queen and conduct grassroots governance among the people.

However, with the assassination of the Queen, the ideals of the Hongyan Tao believers who were originally full of longing for the future were suddenly shattered. They had to stand on the opposite side of the Yan Kingdom again and secretly planned to overthrow the Yan Kingdom's ruling class.

The difference from [Admirers of Tang] is that those who admire Tang want to overthrow the Republic and kneel down to welcome the Tang Empire to rule the Republic because they admire their Great Tang father.

The [Hongyan Taoists] only wanted to overthrow the Republic and establish a true utopia. As for the Tang Empire, it was just an external force that the Hongyan Taoists used to counter the ruling class of the Republic.

Both [Mo Tangzhe] and [Hongyan Dao] are anti-republican, but those who admire Tang hate the Queen, and think that the Queen is a tyrant, a barbarian who resists civilization, because the Queen expelled their Da Tang father, which made them unable to Wang Huasheng, who bathed in Datang, and Hongyandao believed that the Queen was the savior of the people, that Datang was an invader, and that the ruling class of the Republic had betrayed the Queen.

Yuan Tiangang, who was in a high position, originally planned to muddle along like this, enjoy his old age peacefully, and stop participating in those crap things of Hongyan Dao.

However, in the past few years, the Republic has set off a [anti-queen] trend of thought.

Originally, it was just a trend of thought launched by followers of Tang to criticize Queen Yan's cruelty and inhumanity.

Mutang followers have learned their lesson. They know that if they directly oppose the Republic, they can easily be killed by the Wang nobles as an example, so they came up with a curveball, who don't know that they are anti-Republic, nor do they know that they are anti-Republic Wang nobles, But he crazily opposed the queen, against the queen Yan who had saved the country and the people.

Although Queen Yan is also a member of the Wang family nobles, the Wang family nobles actually don't like Queen Yan very much. After all, Queen Yan once wanted everyone to be equal and not let them use their privileges to do whatever they want.

Therefore, when Mu Tang rebels against the Republic, they strike hard and punish the one who dances the most among them.

However, when the followers of Tang insulted Empress Yan, they turned a blind eye and closed their eyes, pretending not to see it, and even issued some bonuses to those literati who opposed the empress.

"We must defend against the Tang Empire, but mainly against Empress Yan."

This is the idea of ​​the nobles of the Republic. They must guard against the invasion of the Tang Empire, but more importantly, they must guard against the appearance of a second Queen Yan in the Republic.

The new generation of Yan people did not experience the dark age of the Great Uprising and the invasion of the Tang Empire, and they were also full of contempt for Queen Yan.

"This is a selfish tyrant who harms the people!"

"The great Li and Tang dynasties came to spread more advanced Chinese civilization to us, help us Yan people to sinicize, and lead us Yan people out of barbarism and ignorance. However, the cruel and unkind Queen Yan deceived the people's hearts, was stubborn and ignorant, and could not She is willing to accept the advanced Chinese culture, but is unwilling to accept the rule of the great Li Tang Dynasty. She is barbaric, and she actually wants all the Yan people to follow her in barbarism, and uses force to prevent the Li Tang Dynasty from saving us and preventing us from accepting the advancement of Li Tang. Chinese!"

"We Yan people are ashamed to have such a queen! This is an eternal shame for Yan people!"

"Resisting the heavenly soldiers of the Tang Dynasty is the greatest sin! It is a disgrace to the people of Yan! People of Yan, you must know how to reflect!"

"It was the Tang Dynasty that brought us the advanced Chinese civilization and spread the advanced Han culture to us. Without the Tang Dynasty, there would be no civilized world. We must know how to be grateful to the Tang Dynasty and not be an ungrateful villain."

People began to count all kinds of crimes committed by Empress Yan, such as resisting civilization, resisting Sinicization, being complacent, unwilling to accept the great and advanced Central Plains culture, and even the "Abolition of Slavery" was criticized.

"In the past, we lived a carefree life. We hunted every day, and when we were free, we could sing poems and compose poems in brothels with our friends. At that time, how prosperous Yan was and how happy the people were."

"However, since Queen Yan implemented the tyranny, we have been living in the crisis of famine every day. We work hard in the farmland day after day, but we can barely survive starvation."

"The prosperity of the past no longer exists, the beautiful poems are also buried in the loess of the farmland, and the beautiful Hanfu has become ugly and dirty civilian clothes."

A descendant of a bankrupt plantation owner said this about wanting a queen.

His grandfather once ran a huge plantation, and the family once lived a happy life with no worries about food and clothing.

However, since Empress Yan promulgated the "Abolition of Slaves/Release of Slaves", the plantations without slaves soon went bankrupt, and their family was forced to farm and work to support themselves.

Living in the hard labor of the farmland every day, there is no time to recite poems and prose like before, let alone go to the mountains and rivers to visit brothels.

He believed that the reason why Empress Yan wanted to put their family in such a predicament was because Empress Yan was a barbarian who didn't understand Yangchun Baixue.

"She herself is a barbarian, and she doesn't understand the beauty of fine clothes and the beauty of poetry, but she is jealous of our fine clothes and beautiful poetry, so she (Empress Yan), who is cruel, does not allow the world to have fine clothes and beautiful poems. Beautiful poetry."

"What is an independent husband? Empress Yan is the biggest independent husband in history! Compared with Xia Jie and Shang Zhou, they are all inferior!"

As a loyal supporter of Empress Yan, Yuan Tiangang lived in such an atmosphere of thoughts all day long, how could you let him enjoy his old age with peace of mind?
"Sun En, the Pirate King hundreds of years ago, is right. The common people are selfish and vegetarians are despicable. They don't deserve to be saved at all!"

"Destroy! Destroy the Republic! All Yan people, die! They are not worthy of being the Queen's subjects!"

Yuan Tiangang is not disappointed with a certain person in power, nor is he disappointed with a certain political group, he is disappointed with the entire human race.

He secretly colluded with the Tang Empire just to allow the Tang Empire to invade the Republic and then massacre all the people of the Republic.

Just like the pirate king, Sun En, slaughtered the people wantonly in the Central Plains after seeing Feng Jinhuang's tragic ending with his own eyes after his ideals were disillusioned.

People, don't deserve to be saved!
