There was still a black and white checkered chessboard between the two of them. Su Ziye looked at Liu Ru, and there was a sense of nostalgia in the young man's eyes.
"As we all know, the original emperor established the first great empire in recorded history and nearly unified the entire land."
When Su Ziye said this, Liu Ru couldn't help but look at his right hand.
Hidden in this right hand is the crimson blade of disillusionment, which is the sword of the original emperor.
Su Ziye noticed her look, couldn't help but smile, stretched out his hand, and the thin long knife emerged from his hand and floated on the palm of his hand: "I know you are interested in this, but I have to leave it until the end. .”
Saying this, Su Ziye let the long sword disappear quietly in his palm, and continued: "But the original emperor died on the last western expedition and did not establish his successor. For a while, his army began to attack the princes. Under his leadership, a brutal civil war began, the empire was divided, and was about to fall into a state of eternal destruction."
Su Ziye looked at Liu Ru: "In fact, there is an heir. According to the original emperor's plan, whoever can hold this blade of disillusionment will be the worthy emperor of Ste."
"I heard Xiye say that the Blade of Disillusionment has been missing for a long time." Liu Ru finally got the chance to interject.
"Yes, I have been missing for a long time. The war destroyed the entire world and turned countless people against each other." Su Ziye sighed: "Among the many descendants of the original emperor, there was a prince named Xi Chen. He was The most respected marshal under the original emperor, the Blade of Disillusionment was originally reserved for him."
"Originally, he was the most qualified to inherit the throne, but before he learned about the death of the First Emperor, someone falsely conveyed an imperial edict, ordering him to lead an army to greet the First Emperor's carriage."
"Of course." Su Ziye looked at Liu Ru: "This was a conspiracy. He was ambushed on the way. The enemy ambushed him layer by layer with ten times his strength. In the end, he was seriously injured and escaped, waiting for him to lie dormant. After recovering from his injuries, the army he originally commanded had been devoured by others. During the prince's carnival, he, as the strongest man, was besieged by vultures and was defeated in an instant."
"In fact, he is not someone who just sits there and waits for death. Before that, he also made a lot of plans and layouts, strategizing to win thousands of miles away. He is a well-deserved strong man, but people's minds are scheming, and he never believes in himself. The brothers will use the most despicable means to deal with him."
"Whether he should be disheartened and choose to withdraw from the fight for the throne completely, or endure the humiliation and use the Blade of Disillusionment in his hand as a bargaining chip, and soak his heart with ink to participate in this almost endless killing and fighting, he thought for a long time .”
Su Ziye looked at Liu Ru: "If it were you, what would you do?"
Liu Ru shook his head directly: "I don't know."
"Yes, no one will know all the answers until then." Su Ziye nodded: "Marshal Xichen followed his father in the Tianya in the first half of his life and made countless great achievements, but in the second half of his life he has to He learned to bite each other like hyenas with his brothers for a chance of survival. I am also very curious about how he made the choice in the end."
"But everyone saw how things ended."
"On that day, mankind gave birth to its first saint."
"He gave up his identity and past, and also completely gave up his bloodline and strength, and entered a realm even above the three realms in an unprecedented manner. It was only after a long time that someone called this realm For the realm of saints.”
"The power of the saint realm is unimaginable. On the night he became a saint, the Hundred Kings Rebellion ended instantly. All the princes who participated in the rebellion began to be loyal to a woman and her children without exception, and there was no more rebellion. "
"And this woman naturally rebuilt the St Empire, and then made her child the new emperor of the empire."
Liu Ru listened quietly. She had a general understanding of the history of the St Empire, but those were just fragments passed down by word of mouth when adults talked about it. They were not like Su Ziye who could directly see the whole picture.
"Later, this woman became the Dinghai Shenzhen of the St Empire." Su Ziye continued: "She did not get involved in the throne, but all the inheritance of the throne was carried out among her descendants. She did not have any authority, but the empire Vibrating in her breath.”
"Three hundred years have passed like this. During these three hundred years, the two empires of Os and Lanye were established one after another, and together they divided 90% of the land on this continent. And the oldest and most powerful empire was once The St Empire seemed so quiet. During the Hundred Kings Rebellion, the empire suffered heavy losses and lost more than 70% of its territory and population. It could only slowly lick its wounds and recuperate. This woman ensured the peace and stability of the empire. She is stable, but there are also countless people who secretly complain about her, because she has never launched any external conquests, like an old hen hatching eggs, just stubbornly staying in her own domain."
"I said that some monsters can ignore the passage of time, but this woman gradually aged over time. About ten years ago, she finally approached her end and died quietly."
"And after her death, the entire Stur Empire fell into a huge black silence again."
Su Ziye looked at Liu Ru: "Yes, this woman is the wife of Marshal Xichen who became a saint before. It is also for this reason that even though her strength was not at the strongest level initially, everyone has Her rule must be recognized.”
"This is the beginning and end of the Hundred Kings' Rebellion."
"And with the death of this woman, the dark clouds that had shrouded the St Empire for hundreds of years have finally dissipated. Before that, all successions to the throne were carried out under her will, and even the emperor himself had no right to interfere."
"And now, the Emperor of Ste whom she finally appointed is facing a huge crisis."
"Because in the past, as long as she was behind him, every emperor of Ste did not have to consider the stability of the throne. No one would rebel or usurp the throne. What is yours is yours, and what is not yours is yours. You can’t even fight for your head.”
"But now, everything has changed." Su Ziye said with a somewhat regretful tone.
"The method that the King of Ste finally chose was to delegate power to his brother. The two became allies and worked against each other, but he ultimately failed without a doubt."
Liu Ru understood what Su Ziye meant.
Especially after she already knew that Su Ziye's real name was Xi Che, and everyone called him the Seventh Prince.
"There have been forces within the empire that have been suppressed by that woman for a long time, and outside the empire, former allies have also tried to interfere with the will of the empire. If someone promises to give you the throne of the emperor, as a price you only need to agree to a few conditions, then No one in this world can refuse such a temptation."
"So this is why I initially chose to leave the St Empire." Su Ziye looked at Liu Ruping and said.
"My uncle chose to cooperate with a more powerful force and wanted to kill my father. After the nest was overturned, the eggs were not intact. Since I had no way to change this fact, I had no choice but to leave there early."
