Prime Minister take care

Chapter 384 One step away

After Yangjian's first letter of persuasion was presented, the whole god became restless.

What was originally an undercurrent hidden in the deep sea suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, setting off a huge storm.

All of a sudden, all the civil and military officials in the divine capital, the county chiefs from various places, and even many generals and several generals in the Liang army, and officials at home and abroad who had a role in submitting the memorial all sent me the memorial, asking Huan Wu to surrender. Ascend to the ninety-five supreme position.

However, Huan Wu, who was in the center of the whirlpool, never said yes.

The starry night hung low, and the door of Hanzhang Hall slowly opened, and an old man with a stooped figure walked in.

This once central place of the Great Zhou Empire has been completely repaired after a period of destruction.

Huan Wu walked in, and supporting him was Zhao Ye, an old friend who had been working with him for decades.

With the stars over the moon, Huan Wu walked into the hall step by step and looked at the high-arched throne in the hall.Since the founding of the country by Taizu, Shendu has been the eastern capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This imperial seat has stood there, witnessing the rise and fall of the empire through 800 years of ups and downs.

More than 40 years ago, Huan Wu was just a military academy lieutenant and was not even qualified to enter Hanzhang Palace.

More than 30 years ago, Huan Wu was already the head of a county, with a rank of two thousand shi, but he could only watch in a remote corner how the general who once feared him lived his final life.

Until the death of Emperor Qi, the three assistants quarreled over the candidate for the throne.Then the princes from all over the country entered the divine capital, and Yang Zhong, one of the three assistant governors, led his army to retreat from Guanzhong. After that, the Weishui War broke out, and the world was in chaos. Everything in the Great Zhou Dynasty fell into disorder.

At that time, Huan Wu was also one of the princes who entered the divine capital. Although he only had thousands of soldiers and horses, his position was much further forward than before.Although he still couldn't enter the core, Huan Wu could at least watch how Chen Shi, Duan Hui, Lu and other top princes competed in front of the throne.

But now, Huan Wu, supported by Zhao Ye, walked forward quietly, and suddenly stopped when he was ten steps away from the throne.

Zhao Ye was a little surprised, but he lowered his head after all.

Looking at the throne of the emperor so close at hand, Huan Wu's emotions were a little complicated.This was not the first time he stood in this position, but he had never been so close to it.

Only one step away!
It can be said that it is easy for Huan Wu to take this step and ascend to the throne.

However, Huan Wu was hesitant at this time.

"Yang You'an was only one step away from this position at the beginning. Why didn't he sit on it?"

A question resounded in this palace.

Zhao Ye raised his head and said with cupped hands.

"Forty years ago, people's hearts were in the Zhou Dynasty. Even though Yang You'an held the world's soldiers and horses and was in charge of the world's political affairs, he was ultimately using the name of the emperor. If he ascended the throne, I am afraid that the world would be in chaos in an instant. The princes from all walks of life would follow the king one after another, and the chaos would be It will be worse than the Battle of the Wei River."

Zhao Ye's answer was very standard, but it was not what Huan Wu wanted.

"Marquis Wenchang is a loyal minister of Zhou Dynasty, so naturally he will not spy on the throne."

Qingyue's voice came from the side. Xia Yunming, dressed in simple clothes, walked in from the side door with the support of a regular attendant, climbed onto the throne, and stood in front of Huan Wu.

The Zhongchang servant next to Xia Yunhuang was surnamed Fang, and like Jian Changshi, his qualifications were quite old.He followed behind Xia Yunhuang, looking at Huan Wu with a very alert face.

"I see your Majesty!"

Huan Wu's old body repeated the movements he had made for 20 years and knelt down to His Majesty in front of him.Zhao Yeben was on the side, his movements slowed down a beat, but he also knelt down.Although in Zhao Ye's view, at this time, everything Huan Wu did was no longer necessary.

"Get up!"

Xia Yunming did not embarrass Huan Wu, nor did he want to humiliate him. He said this gently, just like he had done for 20 years.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

However, Huan Wu's body was old after all, so with Zhao Ye's support, he trembled and could hardly stand up.

"The old minister is useless, Your Majesty is laughing." Huan Wu said mockingly, like an old man in his twilight years, but his eyes were full of brilliance, "Does Your Majesty really think that Yang Ci is a loyal minister?"

"The history of Zhao Zhao has already been concluded. What does Marquis Liang think?"

Xia Yunming looked at Huan Wu condescendingly. Even though she was over forty years old, she still retained a girlish face.The look she looked at Huan Wu was quite calm, not like she was facing a traitor who was about to seize her throne.

"Yes! He is a loyal minister."

Huan Wu said feebly.As Xia Yunming said, even though Huan Wu is the most powerful overlord in the world at the moment, he still can't change everything.

"But I, Huan Wu, am not a traitor." Huan Wu spat out this sentence, as if he had let go of a big stone in his heart, "Whether your majesty believes it or not, when my majesty returned to the capital of the gods more than 20 years ago, he did not usurp the throne. In my heart, I also have the thought of Zhou Xingzhou."

"I know!"

These three short words, spoken from Xia Yunming's mouth, caused Huan Wu more pain than ten thousand knives piercing his heart.

Huan Wu's voice became louder. He raised his head and looked directly at Xia Yunming.

"But your Majesty still broke my heart after all. Just after your Majesty entered the capital of God and secured the throne, he couldn't wait to recruit Yang Zhong to the capital. Your Majesty is talented, wise, benevolent and wise, and is a great leader of the generation. If you and The ministers joined forces, and the world was pacified more than ten years ago. But in the end, His Majesty chose Yang Zhong and betrayed the old minister."

When Xia Yunxuan ordered Yang Zhong to enter Shendu to assist in government, it was a sign of the break between the Xia family and the Huan family.

"In the world, only ministers have always betrayed their rulers. How can a monarch ever betray his ministers?"

Fang Changshi spoke at the side, his voice filled with murderous intent, but Huan Wu ignored him.

"Let me ask, even if Yang Zhong did not die young and really led his troops into the capital of the gods, could he really do better than me? How does your majesty know that the person sitting on this throne now is not surnamed Yang? Your Majesty, please don’t forget that during the Battle of the Weishui River, the one Yang Zhong chose to save was not Your Majesty, but the King of Shu, Xia Yunhua."

Huan Wu asked very nakedly, not like a minister asking a king at all.His words were full of injustice.For so many years, Huan Wu has been trying to get an answer from Xia Yunxu.

But now, he no longer has any scruples.

"I don't know if Da Sima had entered the capital of God, would he have done better than Liang Hou now? I also don't know if Da Sima had taken control of the government, whose family would be sitting on the throne now? But I know Yes, after Grand Sima entered Shu, he wiped out the evil spirits, supported the imperial sister, and supported the Xia clan. Even until his death, he had no intention of founding a country and becoming a lord! Does Liang Hou think so?"

Listening to Xia Yunxuan's words, Huan Wu suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.He couldn't compare with Yang Zhong because Yang Zhong was already dead.

"So, just because Yang Xian is the grandson of Yang Ci and the son of Yang Zhong, your Majesty trusts him?"
