Three days had passed since the Yu family was smashed, and it took Yu Yunwen three full days to rush to Bozhou.
This place was already under full martial law at this time. He came from Suzhou. The two cities, which were so close to each other, seemed to be two completely different worlds. Apart from soldiers, they were still soldiers along the way, half of them were idle. No one can see it.
Except himself.
So he walked this road very lonely.
But being lonely was lonely, and he didn't care about it. Instead of being lonely along the way, he spent more time observing the terrain along the way...where is suitable for setting up an ambush, where can you camp, where is the water source, and where is the water source? All the wood used to build siege equipment was kept in his mind.
It is impossible for him to invest money. This is no one's business. It is entirely what he has learned in the past thirty years. The books read by people he has met do not allow him to do so. Let alone others, even He himself couldn't pass this first level.
It was like when he calculated that the person who pretended to be a golden man and surrounded Lin'an, and that the person who took the life of Emperor Xiaoci Yuansheng was his monarch, and the person he was loyal to, his whole state became the same as that person. The head of the Yu family who had the Jiulie Sanzhen plaque smashed was exactly the same.
Exactly the same.
The most important thing is that the Queen Mother, the emperor's biological mother, also died in that camp. Even during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms when order was broken, no matter how cruel the monarch was, he had never heard of matricide!
Yu Yunwen's sky collapsed, and everything about him collapsed with him, everything he saw, knew, and believed.
Until that day, when he just entered Suzhou City, the emperor found him.
From a student who had not achieved any fame, to the emperor jokingly asking him to be the parent official of Mingzhou, this kind of acquaintance once made him mistakenly believe that he could stage a battle with the emperor like Zhuge Wuhou and Emperor Zhaolie. The story of a fish-out-of-water encounter... I can't help it, he is a student, so it is inevitable that there will be times of innocence and fantasy.
"I don't want to explain anything, but you are quite capable and kind-hearted, so I wasted this time to have a few words with you."
"If you don't believe it, forget it. If you believe it, just make your own decision."
Facing the despairing Yu Yunwen, Liu Bang didn't put on any airs. Just as he said, he didn't want to explain anything, so he didn't even have to cover up. When faced with this man's questioning, he He admitted his deduction with almost no hesitation.
"If possible, I can live my whole life guarding my comfort zone in Lin'an. Whether we fight or not is actually not important at all."
"You have to believe what I say, because at the beginning, I really didn't think about fighting. Speaking of which, I am the emperor of this world, but in the final analysis..."
Until now, Yu Yunwen didn't know what the emperor wanted to say in the second half of his sentence. Maybe he would never know because the emperor obviously didn't want to talk too much.
"If I think like this every day and persuade myself like this every day, maybe I can forget it, but I can't. I really can't. Everyone in the world says that I am a Han. Do you know Han? I have never thought about it. After a while, I can't. For more than a thousand years, people in the world have not called themselves Qin people, but Han people!"
"I have heard Lu Zai talk about a lot of history. The more I listen, the more I know that the Tang Dynasty was a Han Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was also a Han Dynasty. The Song Dynasty could be cowardly, failed, or even subjugated, but the Han Dynasty could not."
"So on that day... the day I met that prostitute on the boat in Sibei Tower, maybe it was later, maybe it was the day I heard about the incident in Zhongshi, or maybe it was when the envoy of the Golden Man came, The day when all the people in the world took their treasures and wanted to sell them to them... I can’t remember exactly when it was, but I did think clearly that this battle must be fought, and all the men in the Song Dynasty would die. All the land is gone, and we have to fight it, all the way to the north, until the Jin people are destroyed and extinct, until no one dares to covet this land in the southeast, northwest, and northwest."
"If we lose in the end and lose the throne at the end of the fight..."
Having said this, Yu Yunwen had already set his sights on His Majesty the Emperor. He clearly saw that Zhao Guanjia smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. Maybe it was an illusion. His Majesty was so confident and arrogant, how could he laugh at himself? ?
"I never regret the things I've done, only the things I haven't done, so you have to know that I'm damn ready to commit my life, and whoever comes out to cause trouble will be He is my enemy."
"No matter who he is, as long as he dares to hinder the Northern Expedition... If the Minister of War's life is not enough, then use the Prime Minister's life. If the Prime Minister's life is not enough, then use the Emperor's life or the Queen Mother's life. Even if he is some kind of immortal Ghosts, monsters, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas all have only one fate, they all have to die, they all have to die."
Yu Yunwen naturally knew that after the death of those two extremely noble nobles, there would be no more obstacles in the court. The emperor might even intentionally spread the news to intimidate the next Zhao Shicheng, the next Zhao Huan, and the next one. Queen Mother Wei.
But he just couldn't convince himself. He must go to the point of killing his brother and his mother. If he was killing a golden man, he would not blink an eyelid. But this is not the case. The emperor is pointing the knife at his own people... At least, Also his family.
It was not until today that he realized that the Zhao Guan family was determined to do the Northern Expedition. Yu Yunwen did not have the energy to distinguish which of these words were true and which were false. He just spoke for the first time after being silent for almost a month. He asked his emperor a question for the first time.
"What should we do after the golden man is defeated?"
Yes, even if it is true as the emperor said, after killing all the Jin people, can these things be covered up?
Will others evaluate something that has happened differently?
He is as strong as Qin Shihuang, but he is still inseparable from the evaluation of a cruel king. He is as strong as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but he will also be said to be a militaristic person. He is as strong as Tang Taizong. When many people mention him, the first thing that flashes in their minds is not Xuanwu. Door change?
Throughout the ages, there is no one else with abilities that surpass these three. However, the things they have done, how can they be forgotten because of their merits!
It's strange that Liu Bang didn't get along with this kid for a long time, but they had an inexplicable tacit understanding. They actually understood the meaning behind his question, so after thinking for a while, he told Yu Yunwen:
"If a thousand years from now, people in the world will still have Han surnames..."
It was the first time that Yu Yunwen saw the emperor so determined. There seemed to be a thunder in his ears, which made his whole soul tremble.
"Then it's worth it."
Then it's worth it!
"So, you want to try it?"
"Try to work with me to tidy up these old mountains and rivers, and build the Heavenly Palace...or seal the wolf to Xu, or..."
He didn't say any more, because he also saw that the scholar was already lying on the ground, crying bitterly.
Yu Yunwen looked at the Bozhou City Gate, which was full of murderous aura, and finally walked up.
