The devil is coming

Chapter 610 The Emperor's Heart
Back garden,
inner sanctum;
All around, the doors and windows were closed, and black curtains were hung, blocking most of the sunlight.
Inside, the furnishings are simple and it looks very empty;
"Squeak..."
The door was opened from the outside, and a palace maid walked in holding a brocade box.
Once you come in,
The palace maid felt a biting chill;
It's not because there is no charcoal basin in this hall, but more because of the psychological pressure, which makes people feel uncontrollably afraid.
She walked forward,
Try not to make the slightest sound.
At this time, a half-figure walked out from behind a black curtain, it was Wei Zhonghe.
Wei Zhonghe stretched out his hand,
The palace maid handed over the brocade box.
immediately,
Wei Zhonghe turned around,
The maid also turned around,
One, heading into darker depths;
One person, after walking outside the palace gate, felt like he was surviving a disaster.
……
"His Majesty."
Wei Zhonghe opened the brocade box, and inside, there was a silver pill quietly placed.
Emperor Yan is not lying down, nor is he decrepit.
he sat in a chair,
expression solemn;
He didn't look like an old king, but there was already a smell around him that the lights were about to go out.
Emperor Yan stretched out his hand,
The movement is very slow,
He placed this silver pill in front of his eyes,
corner of mouth,
With a touch of self-deprecation.
"Wei Zhonghe."
"The slave is here."
"Tell me, if people outside saw this scene, how would they describe me?"
"I dare not make any assumptions."
"Haha, they will say that when the emperor of Dayan was young, no matter how good his martial arts were, when he came to the end, he was still the same as the dying emperors in the history books;
Obsessed with seeking immortality and medicine,
Trying to use the power of pills to survive,
Ah,
to pursue,
That ethereal thing,
Immortality. "
Wei Zhonghe did not dare to interrupt.
Emperor Yan held the pill in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"I have known for a long time that there is no immortality in this world.
Practitioners, such as alchemists and qigong practitioners, can indeed live longer than ordinary people if they practice to a certain level;
But the kind of person who frequently enters samadhi, often retreats in caves, or practices on the mountain,
After fifty years of practice, you will not eat the smoke and fire of the world. It is nothing more than surviving for another 50 years more than ordinary people;
Such 'immortality',
You said,
After all, it’s a loss.
Still making money? "
"Your Majesty, I think it is better to live a tight life. If it is too long, it will be too empty. If it is too empty, it will be too bland. If it is too bland, it will be tasteless."
Wei Zhonghe was a Qi practitioner and a master. He once blocked the Hundred Mile Sword by himself;
I have my own opinions on the journey of refining qi.
Of course,
A slave's opinion,
Naturally follow the master around.
"Taking elixirs is the same as taking poison... Even I didn't expect that this day would happen to me."
"His Majesty………"
Wei Zhonghe couldn't say the words that His Majesty will bring great blessings to the heavens now.
The Supreme Being in front of him, even at this moment, has been relying on pill pills to maintain his daily clarity. Even though his physical condition has deteriorated to a ridiculous level, he still does not allow himself to rest.
He said that as a monarch, you can die, but you can't be confused, let alone lie on the bed, dying but not dying.
"I, as long as I live, I will be the emperor for a day, so I cannot continue to live in such a state of confusion."
Speaking of which,
Emperor Yan smiled,
"Haha, the one from Chu State has been lying on the sick bed for several years. What is the delay? It is his son's time, it is his Chu State's time.
Ahem...ahem...ahem..."
Emperor Yan began to cough violently.
Wei Zhonghe immediately stretched out his hand, caressed his back gently, and then used his breath to help regulate it.
However, the breath he input only had a mild effect, because the meridians in Yanhuang's body were blocked and aging.
"In those letters, it was planned to reduce the rewards or postpone the rewards. It was noted that the rewards for the soldiers of the three armies and the meritorious generals should not be harsh in the slightest."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Yan's breathing began to become heavier,
"Some people can only stare at their feet or in front of them, but they really can't see far away. The court and the country are in difficulty now, and next year, I think it will be even more difficult;
But at this time,
Soldiers and horses from all walks of life, military towns,
The less chaotic it is.
If you win a battle and have merit, you must be rewarded;
There will be no chaos in the military towns on all roads;
this world,
After two years,
No matter how messy it is,
There won't be any chaos.
These words,
Said to the prince,
Say the same thing to Cheng Jue. "
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have taken note of it."
"Tell them that they can save the provinces where they should, but it would be foolish to save even a cent in the provinces that should not be spared."
"Yes."
"Cough cough...cough cough..."
"His Majesty………"
Emperor Yan was unmoved and continued to stare at the pill in his hand.
At last,
Sighed,
close your eyes,
open mouth,
Take it down.
The process of swallowing was very painful. Emperor Yan sat there with his neck raised and his veins exposed.
"Hey...hey..."
A hoarse voice came from his throat.
a long time,
The pill was finally taken.
Emperor Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, and there were already beads of sweat on his forehead.
Simultaneously,
There are also bursts of hot breath;
This is when the medicinal effect of the pill begins to take effect.
This elixir, which does not extend life, is not the same thing as the elixir that was refined for Emperor Yan to replenish blood and nourish qi when Taiye was still alive.
This is poison,
But it is a poison that can forcefully lift one's spirit;
Even if taking this would waste his last few years of life, it would at least ensure that he would remain awake while he was alive.
for a while,
Emperor Yan stood up.
Wei Zhonghe stepped forward and helped take off his robe.
"Lay out the map of Daxia's mountains and rivers."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Under the orders of Wei Zhonghe,
Seven or eight eunuchs came over with a thick roll and spread it out on the ground;
immediately,
More than ten maids came in and lit lamps and candles.
Wearing only a black gown, Emperor Yan stood there, watching the Mountains and Rivers of Daxia spread out slowly under his feet.
immediately,
All the eunuchs and maids left.
Emperor Yan's feet stepped on the map of mountains and rivers, and the place where he stood was the city of Yanjing.
“Zhennang Pass has been captured, and although the snowfield has never been completely cleared, without the Savage King, the savages cannot make any big waves;
The regent of Chu State did have the courage to cut off a strong man's wrist, but if he wanted to pick up Chu State again, he would not be able to do it in three to five years.
The Gan people relied on three sides to prevent my cavalry from going south, but they failed to completely kill the Qian country at first. Now, they can continue to stay.
Everyone thought that I, next, would immediately target Gan Ren and attack Gan.
Do not,
They were wrong,
They couldn't be more wrong.
dry country,
It’s the meat on my Dayan’s lips. I can put it aside for the time being and not eat it;
What I want to do is
The ones with thorns and bones are eaten first.
Thus,
He is the next successor,
No matter how bad your teeth are, you can still swallow it slowly. "
said,
Emperor Yan set his sights on the west,
fell on the desert,
He walked over quickly and stepped on the west side of Beifeng County:
"The princess of the barbarian tribe will marry into my Ji family as a daughter-in-law, and the little prince of the barbarian tribe will respect me as his uncle;
Those people said,
barbarians,
No etiquette,
For the sake of profit and the present, you can sell everything;
stupid thing,
bastard!
Barbarian royal court,
The picture is huge!
The older he is, the more respectful he is. The old man is paving the way for his son. He has been making preparations for most of his life. His purpose is to restore the glory of the Barbarian Royal Court in the hands of his son.
Liang Ting's view is the same as mine. The barbarians are sharpening their swords. Although they will not move in the past five years, in ten years they will definitely march eastward and invade our Xia!
I,
Can't give them a chance,
As the emperor of Dayan,
Absolutely not to the barbarians,
The slightest chance!
I,
It is to unify all Xia,
But this premise
They are barbarians,
Can't get in! "
It can be said that in the 30 years since the old Barbarian King became the Barbarian King, there has been almost no large-scale war between the Barbarians and the Yan Kingdom.
But Emperor Yan never underestimated his old neighbor.
even,
In my heart,
I highly appreciate this old neighbor.
One can imagine how terrifying it is for a person who is willing to "do nothing" all his life just to pave the way for the next generation.
the most important is,
Barbarians,
never declined,
It's still so powerful,
desert,
It is still the best cradle for the birth of warrior barbarians;
The decline of the barbarians,
It is the weakening of the royal court;
And once the royal court rises again,
In response,
The blood feud that had fought with Dayan for countless generations a hundred years ago will awaken again.
Wei Zhonghe was a little shocked. Although he was the closest person to the emperor, he really just knew that there was still a war?
It seems that he guessed what Wei Zhonghe was thinking,
It seems also clear that the government and the public will be the same as Wei Zhonghe;
Emperor Yan said in a deep voice:
"I want to set an example for future generations. Being a king depends not on conspiracy or small calculations, but on the general trend, the general trend!
For the king,
When every step,
They are all stepping on the general trend,
Not to take advantage of the situation,
But wherever you go,
The potential arises wherever it arises. "
said,
Emperor Yan's eyes were fixed on Wei Zhonghe.
Wei Zhonghe immediately knelt down and
road;
"The slave understands."
These words must not be spoken to a third person.
Of course, this is the most obvious;
On a deeper level, both the government and the public must monitor public opinion, because some people can see clues from personnel and material transfers, that is, wait and see which direction the wind will blow.
However, the current relationship between Dayan and the barbarians is actually better than that of Heqian State and Chu State.
Because when Dayan used troops against Qian, Jin, and Chu several times, the barbarians never invaded the border with a single horse, which can be said to be extremely sensible.
If a war suddenly breaks out in a hurry,
Morally,
It’s really completely untenable.
"Tick tock... tick tock..."
A few drops of bright red sway on the map of mountains and rivers.
Emperor Yan stretched out his hand and wiped the tip of his nose, revealing red stains on his palms.
but,
Emperor Yan didn't care about this.
He just stared hard at his feet, staring at the "desert" beneath his feet.
"I will bear this infamy."
Emperor Yan raised his head slightly,
"While I'm still alive."
