I have always thought that being an emperor is easy, and that with the power, you can do whatever you want, but in fact, the emperor is really not capable of doing everything, and it is definitely not an easy position.
It is not easy to be a wise king or a faint king. A wise king will be tired and his life will not last long. If you are a fool, you must be ruthless, otherwise you will be easily overthrown and your life will not last long.
It is even more difficult to be the emperor of the old Jing Dynasty. If you want to be a faint king, you don't have the conditions. The curse-like "cobweb" on your body will spur you to work conscientiously to take care of the empire. The effect of this kind of spur is extremely powerful. According to Yang Jian, who has experienced it personally: No matter who is targeted by it, they will become extremely diligent.
According to "Chi", a good emperor can maintain the prosperity of the Jingjiu Dynasty, while a weak emperor will have the opposite effect, so for the benefit of the transaction, it needs to standardize some of the emperor's temperament. To put it bluntly, it will prevent the Yang family from having a foolish king.
The purpose of the "spider web" is not only to encourage, but also to share the luck of the Jingjiu Dynasty.
I don't know if others asked Yang Jian when they were emperors, but he asked "Chi" about sharing luck. "Chi"'s answer is that "Spider Web" can assimilate the emperor to it to some extent, so in disguise he can enjoy the national destiny that only the emperor can enjoy, and this is very important to "Chi". But "Chi" won't answer more specific details, and he probably has reservations.
Not everyone can accept the word "assimilation" alone. There is a feeling of being swallowed up, which is very harsh. But it’s true, and it’s hard to refuse.
Yang Jian still remembered that when he first ascended the throne, he was so upset by the "cobweb" on his body in just a few years that he almost wanted to cut his flesh and bones. But in the end, they all endured it. The righteousness of the royal family allowed him to withstand the "big exam" and this pain. From this point of view, Yang Jian also understood why the Yang family's succession to the throne was carried out in such a bloody way. It really takes the most ruthless person to be qualified for the job of emperor of the old dynasty.
You have to be ruthless to others, and you have to be ruthless to yourself, otherwise you can't be the emperor.
But the benefits are still obvious. The existence of "Red" completely pinned all the sects in the country firmly to their respective mountain gates, and they did not dare to run around or covet this country.
Otherwise, should we rely on those Golden Sword cultivators at Fenghong Villa? Although Fenghong Villa is very strong and is worthy of being a first-class sect, it is not enough against a super sect.
The sects outside do not know the existence of "Red". Their strongest knowledge of the Sword Monk is the Golden Sword Monk's unique skill: the Blood Armor Technique. A technique that can increase the strength of a monk several times or even dozens of times. Of course, the consequences are serious, and the possibility of death after the operation is 90%.
But there are too many people in Fenghong Villa. Anyone who dares to come and fight with Jing Jiuchao should be prepared for the possibility of being replaced by the extreme.
And in history, the Jingjiu Dynasty used "Blood Armor Technique" to confront sects more than once. The Mingshan Sect among the super sects had tasted the power of the Blood Armor Technique, and there was even a first-class sect that was defeated by the Jingjiu Dynasty. The golden sword monks who deployed heavy troops and used the blood armor technique wiped out the whole family.
That's why the old Jing Dynasty is now in a rock-solid situation, and the "Jingying Mansion" can be established to recruit the elites of various sects for their use.
Of course, the so-called "Blood Armor Technique" should not exist in the world. Increase the strength several times or dozens of times? Even if the consequences are serious, it is still too mysterious. The cultivation world has been debating what is so strange about the "Blood Armor Technique" of the Golden Sword Cultivator.
In fact, the strange thing about blood armor lies in the mysterious existence "Chi" that Yang Jian had just met before.
The Blood Armor Technique is just a means for "Red" to fulfill the deal. It borrows the life of the Golden Sword Cultivator to exert part of its power. The "Blood Armor Technique" is used externally to deal with prying eyes.
"Bring a copper bar and a pen." After soaking in the warm soup for a while, Yang Jian regained his composure. He greeted the eunuch beside him and served him with pen and ink.
Sitting up straight, the eunuch helped wipe away the water from Yang Jian's upper body, and then brought up a floating table. The table was fully equipped with not only pen and ink, but also brand-new copper bars and the emperor's seal.
This kind of floating table is very common in the palace. Who knows that the emperors of the Yang family "liked" soaking in warm soup and did not want to get out of it? Corresponding office equipment will naturally be derived.
After Yang Jian pondered for a while, he picked up his pen and wrote quickly. After a meal, he put down his pen and said to the eunuch beside him: "Immediately send it to Zuo Yuliang according to the highest level of confidentiality, and order him to strictly abide by it...Nothing shall be allowed." error."
Yang Xiusheng has been guarding the side. He will not participate in the emperor's government affairs, but when he heard the words "no mistakes", he still took a sideways look. Generally speaking, when it comes to generals who are outside, the emperor rarely uses words such as "no mistakes" that do not give the generals room for maneuver. Because the battlefield is changing rapidly, if there is no room for independent choice, this will be bad news for the general.
However, Yang Xiu Sheng could also guess the emperor's purpose for doing this. Perhaps because Zuo Yuliang's movements were too slow, he set a rough time for the decisive battle. After all, the emperor's life could not be resisted for much longer, and Zuo Yuliang could not be allowed to slowly play the one-punch-for-one trick with the barbarians.
"Uncle, do you think the barbarians should be kept alive or should they be wiped out?"
"I don't know. But there should be no problem in winning this battle. I heard news from the Golden Sword Guards on the front line that there are not many capable monks among the barbarians anymore."
Yang Jian smiled confidently: "Of course there is no problem in winning. What Zuo Yuliang brings is the accumulation of our dynasty over the past 40 years. How can the barbarians resist?" These forty years of peace were brought to the dynasty by Yang Jian. He has reason to be proud. But after a pause, Yang Jian continued: "But it may not be appropriate to destroy the barbarians, and it is unlikely."
Yang Xiu Sheng still didn't answer. This was not something he should get involved in. In addition, he also understood that the main reason why the emperor said that the barbarians could not be exterminated was because it was impossible to manage the land after taking it. It was too big and could not set up a teleportation circle like the one in the country. It would easily lead to the result of separatist kingship. , will become a hidden danger of turmoil in future generations.
But if it is not destroyed, won't the war between humans and barbarians continue endlessly? This is also inappropriate.
Yang Jian did not expect Yang Xiu Sheng to answer, but continued on his own: "Perhaps it is a long-term solution to destroy the main fighting groups and leave the docile farming groups to be raised as pigs and sheep... "
The eunuch hurriedly left with the copper bar in his hands. He needed to pass the note to Zuo Yuliang who was far away in Baektu Gorge as soon as possible.
And just as Yang Xiusheng guessed, the emperor's copper bar to Zuo Yuliang had only one main core meaning: to urge the decisive battle, and strictly ordered Zuo Yuliang to capture the entire Baitou Gorge before the end of August, and push the war to Later...
