The drizzle began to fall from the sky in the morning, and by noon, the drizzle turned into a torrential rain, and the torrential rain was like a pour, shrouding the entire Xuanyuan Hill in a layer of rain and mist.
Because of the rain, there are a lot fewer pedestrians coming and going on the streets of the Imperial City, and occasionally a few of them are in a hurry, wearing raincoats, and rarely stop.
In recent months, with the tide of the demon offensive in the west, the news of the loss of Lizhou and Xianzhou has come, and the atmosphere of the entire Xuanyuan Hill, just like the weather in the past few days, is full of haze, and everyone's hearts are like a heavy weighing stone, the Great Emperor Imperial City is better, and outside the Great Emperor Imperial City, the business of the restaurant, restaurant, song and dance shop, has also suddenly cooled down.
At the time of the national disaster, there are a few people who still have the desire to have fun In order to support the front-line soldiers, I heard that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace ordered to reduce the expenses in the palace, and everything in the entire palace was simplified, and the diplomatic receptions between Honglu Temple and the embassies and ministers of various countries were all canceled, and the orders were issued, and the following naturally did not dare to go too far, even if there were extravagant people who spent money and land, at this time, if they wanted to enjoy it, they could only close the door in their own courtyard, everything was low-key, and they did not dare to publicize it anymore.
The entire Imperial Palace was also shrouded in a bleak and cold rain and fog.
The rain pouring down from the clouds like lead ink flew down, washing the red golden glazed tiles on the magnificent palaces of the Great Emperor's Palace, which were covered with eaves and arches, dragons and ditches, and phoenixes, and then turned into white water curtains, flying down from under the eaves, like thousands of small waterfalls, so that the entire Great Emperor's Palace was filled with a layer of water vapor.
Outside the Nine Extremes Palace, a circle of knights in armor holding Jinwu were standing solemnly on the eaves and steps of the corridor outside the hall, guarding the Nine Extremes Palace, in the sky full of water vapor and torrential rain, not moving at all, and at this time, even outside the hall, these knights holding Jinwu could still hear the angry roar of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the Nine Extremes Palace.
"What does it mean to have no time to take care of him, is this how the three major sects replied, now that the national disaster is at hand, it is the time when the major sects are serving the country, Tianji Gate and Demon Killing Valley have already sent a half-saint level powerhouse master to lead the knights under the sect to rush to the Western Regions, just because of a cloud in the middle, the three major sects can't shirk each other, and they stand by and watch the attack of the demon race, it really makes no sense."
In the Nine Extremes Hall, Xuanyuan Changying, who was standing on the imperial steps, had already left his anger, and roared at a minister who was talking to him, his eyes as if he was about to breathe fire, "Don't the three major sects know what it means to have no hair and no hair, if Taixia dies, how can the three major sects be spared?"
In the entire Nine Great Hall, it was the voice of Prince Changying, the minister who had just replied had a stupid face, unable to speak, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty was also silent, everyone knew that the so-called Yun Zhongzi was just an excuse, the three major sects really had to worry about Yun Zhongzi's words, and all the knights of the three major sects were pulled out to the west, and no one believed that Yun Zhongzi could still go to the battlefield to find trouble with the three major sects, the real reason was that the three major sects were already too big to fall, and they didn't even put the prince of Changying in their eyes at all.
Since the First Battle of the Yin Sea, the behavior of the three major sects has become more and more obedient and arrogant, but Xuanyuan Hill still has no way to take the three major sects.
After the extreme anger, the panting prince also slowly calmed down, he knew that no matter how angry he was here, it would be of no use to the three major sects, but it was possible to be ridiculed by the three major sects, and even used as evidence to shake his authority, the prince was incompetent, so he would lose his temper in the Nine Great Palace, roaring at the ministers, if he was angry again, maybe it would not take a few days, and such rumors would spread throughout Taixia.
"Li Yunji, there is news from the Tingwei Mansion" After slowly calming down, Prince Changying waved his hand, letting the minister who had just replied retreat into the ranks of ministers, and then turned his attention to Li Yunji, one of the nine kings.
"This Yun Zhongzi is a Saint-level powerhouse, his whereabouts are erratic, and the Tingwei Mansion has ordered him to be wanted, but there is no news of Yun Zhongzi yet" Li Yunji replied with some weakness.
Hearing Li Yunji's answer, Prince Changying's gaze became gloomy, "In addition, the Taixia Tingwei Mansion is completely helpless against Yun Zhongzi, and there is no other way to deal with it, so he can only let Yun Zhongzi do whatever he wants."
"This" Li Yunji was speechless for a moment.
Seeing Li Yunji's appearance, the anger that Prince Changying had just suppressed almost erupted again, but he glanced at the silent Da Situ Meng Shidao, and suppressed the anger in his heart again.
Li Yunji is the person recommended by Meng Shidao, he can't help but save some face for Meng Shidao, it stands to reason that a person who can become a phantom knight is definitely not a weak person, but although this Li Yunji is not weak, his ability is still too reluctant for Ting Weiqing, one of the nine Qings, it can only be said that it is decent, and when he encounters a little out of the ordinary, Li Yunji can be helpless, there is no way, the dignified Tingweiqing, so many people under his command, so many resources, but at this time, he can't worry about himself at all, There was no way at all, which made Prince Changying very disappointed.
At this time, Prince Changying, in fact, has already regretted that he listened to Meng Shidao's words, and convicted Yun Zhongzi early and made Taixia a wanted criminal, if it was according to Mr.
Qing Ming's opinion back then, Xuanyuan Zhiqiu was not in a hurry to make Yun Zhongzi a wanted criminal, but deliberately wanted to follow the line of Yun Zhongzi to make a fuss about the tragedy of the Great Wilderness Gate, and define the matter between Yun Zhongzi and the three major sects as a grudge between the rivers and lakes, which is equivalent to hanging a sharp sword over the heads of the three major sects and stepping on the tail of the three major sects.
How dare the three major sects be so arrogant.
The current situation is completely contrary to the judgment of Meng Shidao when he entered the words, Yun Zhongzi has become a wanted criminal, and the three major sects have not only not received the favor of Xuanyuan Hill, but have no scruples at all, and the influence of Xuanyuan Hill on the three major sects is getting weaker and weaker.
Thinking of this, Prince Changying glanced at Meng Shidao again, since the battle of the Yin Sea, Prince Changying slowly felt that he was becoming more and more unable to see through his own Taifu, and Meng Shidao's face became more and more blurred in front of him, in just a few years, the relationship between the two has long been not as close as it was at the beginning, and now above the court, Da Sima Zuoqiu Mingyue is leading the army to resist the demons outside, facing Meng Shidao, who is rumored to be able to advance to the holy level, as a knight of the sky, Da Sikong often acts as a good person in front of Meng Shidao, Da Situ Meng Shidao has almost said nothing in this Nine Great Palace, and the expansion of the Swallowing Party in the local area is also extremely rapid, which makes Prince Changying a little jealous.
"What else do you have to play" Prince Changying asked the Manchu Dynasty civil and military with a little tiredness, if not, today's court meeting will end here, these days, because the war situation is unfavorable, the daily court meeting is very long, sometimes even at night, the pressure of the entire empire, it seems that all fall on Xuanyuan Changying's body.
"The general is not invited" A general of the Fourth Army walked out of the ranks of the generals, and said in a deep voice, "Now the battle situation on the front line is critical, the demon clan is pressing step by step, Taixia and the Chinese have reached the autumn of life and death, once the demon army breaks through the Tongguan line, the Taixia situation will be completely eroded and difficult to clean up, although there is now a big Sima sitting on the front line, but in the rear, Taixia has not fully invested in the holy war, this is like two people are already fighting for life and death, but Taixia still has a hand that does not use strength, The last general asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to immediately issue a military management order in the Taixia states, and the Great Sima and the Fourth Army would coordinate all the needs of the war, and give it a go with the demons."
As soon as the general of the Fourth Army spoke, he was immediately echoed by many generals, and before Xuanyuan Changying could speak, one of the Nine Qings, Da Si Nong, glanced at Meng Shidao, who was speechless in front of him, and was the first to jump out to object, "Ridiculous, now the demon army has not yet reached the first line of Tongguan, He Yan Tongguan is about to be lost, alarmist, now in the western theater of operations, the land of several states has been dominated by the upper four armies and Lord Zuoqiu, isn't this enough, if all the states of Taixia implement military management orders, I'm afraid I won't wait for the demon clan to call, All states are going to be chaotic, and the Si Nong Mansion resolutely disagrees with the military management of the states."
Da Si Nong jumped out, and many civil officials immediately echoed him.
Once the current Taixia is under military control, the power of Da Sima and the generals will skyrocket, while Da Situ and many civilian officials will be completely reduced to foils, which will naturally cause a backlash.
The two sides immediately quarreled in the Nine Extremes Hall, and it was completely difficult to unify their opinions, this proposal was not the first time that it had appeared in the court, and it was not the first time that all the same disputes and quarrels had occurred.
"Let's discuss this performance in the future" Seeing this situation, Xuanyuan Changying could only wave his hand and put the proposal on hold for the time being.
Just when Xuanyuan Changying was about to announce his retirement from the dynasty, standing at the front of the civil official team, Meng Shidao, who had not spoken for a long time just now, suddenly took a step forward and said to Xuanyuan Changying, "A few days ago, the history of Jinzhou thorn was written, saying that His Royal Highness introduced Youzhou rice for Jinzhou two years ago after a year of breeding, this year's autumn harvest in Jinzhou, the first batch of more than 400 million acres of Youzhou rice all harvested, the more than 400 million acres of rice fields more than in previous years more than two percent of the harvest, the whole Jinzhou was shaken, Jinzhou wealthy people rushed to tell each other, overjoyed, Jinzhou is preparing to expand the planting area of Youzhou rice by 10 times this year, and the history of Jinzhou and a cadre of officials have written a letter inviting His Royal Highness to preside over this year's spring festival in Jinzhou, and the morale of the people of the entire Jinzhou will certainly be greatly encouraged. ” This is almost the only good news that Xuanyuan Changying heard in today's court, after seriously asking two sentences about the situation of Youzhou rice planted in Jinzhou, Xuanyuan Changying laughed and said happily, "Agriculture is the foundation of the country, naturally it should be encouraged, since Jinzhou has this heart, then this year I will go to Jinzhou to preside over the spring festival for it" What is really encouraged is Xuanyuan Changying, because presiding over the spring festival for a state is the exclusive property of Xuanyuan Emperor in the past, when Xuanyuan the Emperor was still there, every year he would choose a state among those states that have achieved a bumper harvest, and then personally go to that state to preside over the spring festival of the coming year, so as to encourage agriculture and stabilize the national body, and since the prison of the country, this is the first time that a thorn has taken the initiative to invite Xuanyuan Changying to preside over the spring festival.
Youzhou rice high yield and high quality crown in the world, the first two years Xuanyuan Changying had personally pushed Youzhou rice, Youzhou rice welcomed to Jinzhou to try, I didn't expect that just two years later, it really had a big effect, this is a real achievement, Xuanyuan Changying was very happy in his heart.
Just when Xuanyuan Changying just wanted to open his mouth to announce his retreat from the dynasty, suddenly, the world outside was white, and a scorching electric light pierced through the clouds, and then a "boom" thunder exploded in the sky above the entire Great Emperor's Palace, which shocked everyone in the Nine Great Palaces, and even the water in the two pools under the imperial steps where Xuanyuan Changying was located was shaken by the explosion and rippled in circles There were few winter thunders in the first place, let alone such powerful thunder that resounded through the heavens and the earth.
"Who is it?"
"Wow" Just before the scorching white light of the lightning dissipated, a figure suddenly stood at the door of the Nine Extremes Hall in the midst of thunder, and the knight who was guarding the Nine Extremes Hall immediately shouted.
With the sound of the sword unsheathed, everyone in the main hall turned their heads to look at the door of the main hall at the same time, and Xuanyuan Changying also raised his eyes and looked at the door of the main hall A young man with a calm and calm face was standing at the door of the Nine Extremes Hall, looking at Xuanyuan Changying.
Xuanyuan Changying was stunned, dumbfounded, and rubbed his eyes "Brother Changying, it's been a long time" Zhang Tie let out a long breath and walked into the Nine Extremes Hall:
