Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 698: The Crime of Advising
After receiving a signal from Emperor Yuliang, Yan Tihong explained to the ministers, "What you don't know is that Emperor Liang ordered me to guard the border between the imperial court and the special zone. This was an order long ago. If Lan Jiuyang really behaved himself, the army would not have made any moves. In the follow-up, Emperor Liang did not implicate other people, but only targeted the core members of the Twelve Lan Lanterns."

Emperor Yuliang said to Wufangtong patiently, "Zhongcheng, what do you think? It's not that I didn't give Lan Jiuyang a chance, it's that he insisted on doing so. I have no choice but to wipe them out with the force of thunder."

Having said that, if it happened to an ordinary person, he would probably apologize.

But Wu Fang Tong still insisted on this matter, saying: "Emperor Liang had set up this trap since he tried to persuade the enemy to surrender. It is a crime to deliberately reveal the flaws and show the enemy an opportunity. If Emperor Liang had sent troops to the Special Zone from the beginning, with heavy troops at their side, how could the Twelve Lanterns dare to rebel? After a long time, the rebellious intentions would disappear, and the dynasty would naturally win the hearts of the people of Helan. How can people be convinced by what is happening today, where they are persuaded and then destroyed?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Yuliang's face turned gloomy.

Yan Tihong quickly stopped him and said, "Zhongcheng, you are going too far."

Before making his remonstrance, Wufang Tong had prepared for death. He knelt on the imperial brick and begged, "As a minister, Wufang Tong lived in disgrace when the Lion Lord (Saint Lion Lord) died, which was disloyalty. When the Emperor Liang was in power, he failed to make timely remonstrances, which was unrighteousness. For such a disloyal and unrighteous person, please let the Emperor Liang grant Wufang Tong death."

Yan Tihong and other court officials pleaded with Emperor Liang: "Emperor Liang, the Prime Minister has devoted his life to the country. Although he is guilty, please consider his past merits and let him go back to his hometown."

"Emperor Liang, why bother with the Five Parties?"

Wu Fangtong, who was kneeling on the ground, resolutely said: "You don't have to speak for me. If the king wants his subjects to die, I will not be loyal if I don't die."

Emperor Yuliang looked around at his ministers expressionlessly, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahahahahahaha..., 'If a monarch has loyal ministers, his country will not perish.'"

(This sentence means that if the monarch has ministers who can speak frankly and give advice, the country will not decline.)
After saying this, Emperor Yuliang personally came down the steps and helped Wufangtong up, "My getting the Zhongcheng is like Emperor Taizong getting Wei Zheng."

"Emperor Liang..." Wufangtong didn't expect Emperor Yuliang to react like this.

Emperor Yuliang issued an edict: "Wufang Tong has made meritorious contributions in giving advice, and is promoted to the position of Imperial Censor, and is awarded 100 pieces of silk and 500 taels of gold."

Then, he issued another order: "The matter of the Twelve Lanterns was indeed something that I did not consider carefully. I am now issuing a self-criticism edict to announce to the world and confess my mistakes. In addition, the Helan Special District will remain unchanged. The dynasty will let the Helan survivors elect a person of high moral character and both civil and military talents to be appointed by the dynasty as the head of the special district. As agreed before, the dynasty will not interfere in all administrative affairs in the district. It is only responsible for stationing troops to protect the territory and the people. The army's supplies will be specially dispatched by the dynasty, and it is not allowed to collect food and wages from the people in the district in any form or under any excuse. If you violate it, you will be severely punished!"

"Yes."

The imperial edict was drafted soon and issued immediately.

Emperor Yuliang said to Wufangtong: "How about this, my Imperial Censor, are you satisfied with this?"

Wu Fang Tong bowed and said, "The Emperor Liang's heart is as broad as the sea. I, your humble servant, bow in admiration."

Emperor Yuliang said with a smile: "It is because of capable ministers like you that the Yuyu Dynasty has become so prosperous. Wufangtong, from now on, as long as the emperor makes any mistakes, you can speak out and give advice."

After hearing this, Wu Fang Tong prostrated himself and said, "I am sure that the Emperor Liang will no longer trust me."

"Get up." After letting the five parties communicate, Emperor Yuliang took out 'Authority' and 'Follow the flow' and handed them to Yan Tihong. "Thanks to the Imperial Censor for reminding me, the prosperity of a dynasty should not depend on the emperor's preferences. It is not something that can be changed by one or two magic weapons. These two weapons, as the national treasures of the Helan Dynasty, also symbolize its rise and fall. I will return them to the Helan Special District and let the Helan survivors deal with them. I'll trouble General Yan to go to the Special District again."

"I obey your command." Yan Tihong respectfully accepted the 'authority' and 'follow the flow' with both hands and headed towards the Helan Special District.

Hello everyone, I am the dividing line of water word count-——
Fenghuangming came to a safe place, then opened the sky scroll behind him and released Piao and Hua Wudie.

"Master." Fenghuang Ming looked at the injured Piao and Hua Wudie and sighed, "Ah~"

Piao urged: "Master, please help save Brother Hua."

Fenghuangming was very knowledgeable. Just by looking at Hua Wudie's face, he diagnosed his injuries. "The five internal organs were damaged, the meridians were damaged, and the anger attacked the heart."

He said to Piao, "If the skills you have cultivated are not different from others, I'm afraid you will be the same as him."

With Fenghuangming by her side, Piao, who had relaxed, said with lingering fear: "How could I have known that the Jade Liang Emperor was so terrifying? I was severely injured by him in one blow before I even saw the 'Imperial Seal'."

As he spoke, he began to pat Fenghuangming's horse, "Master, you are really amazing. In the midst of thousands of troops, you not only humiliated him, but also led us away leisurely."

Fenghuangming heard this and smiled bitterly: "Piao, you really think too highly of your master."

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a phoenix crying and spitting out red blood.

"Master." Piao was shocked to see Fenghuangming injured.

It was because since he could remember, his master, who was the Twin Blades of the Wheel of Extinction, had never been hurt.

It seems that anything can be easily solved in front of the master.

Unexpectedly, today even the omnipotent master was injured by Yuliang Emperor, which really shocked Phoenix Piao.

Fenghuangming calmed down the panicked Piao and said, "The Jade Emperor is so powerful that even I dare not claim victory easily. In addition, he has a divine weapon to protect him. Frankly speaking, I can smile secretly that I can lead you away from the enemy army with such injuries."

Piao asked in disbelief: "Is the Jade Emperor really that terrifying?"

Fenghuang Ming asked back, "How else do you think he was able to sweep across the Western Martial World and destroy the Saint Lion Dynasty? The masters of the various sects in the Western Martial World are not fools. Would they just stand there and let him kill them?"

"So, we still underestimated Yu Liang Huang. I wonder how the others are doing?" As he spoke, he handed Hua Wu Die on his back to Feng Huang Ming to take care of. "Master, you will take care of Brother Hua's injuries. I'm going to find out the whereabouts of Lan Jiu Yang and the others."

The Twelve Blue Lanterns Operation has failed. The Yu Yu Dynasty is under martial law and will conduct a thorough investigation.

Fenghuangming warned Piao, "Be careful on the road."

"calm down."

After drifting away, Fenghuang Ming looked at the seriously injured and unconscious Hua Wudie and sighed again, "Alas, when I advised you to give up restoring your country, I knew that even if the three immortals gathered together, they would not be able to shake the Yu Yu Dynasty. Emperor Yuliang has many brave generals and counselors under his command, so how could he not have ways to deal with them? In the end, it will hurt others and yourself. I only hope that after this disaster, Hua Wudie, you can let go of your obsession and live in peace."
