The drizzle began to spill from the sky in the morning, and at noon, the drizzle turned into a torrential rain. The torrential rain was like a pouring rain, covering the entire Xuanyuan Hill in a layer of rain and mist.

Because of the rain, there are fewer pedestrians coming and going on the streets of the Emperor's City. Sometimes, a few are hurrying, wearing raincoats, and seldom stop.

In recent months, as the Mozu’s offensive to the west has been rampant, news of Lizhou and Xianzhou’s successive losses has been heard. The atmosphere of the entire Xuanyuan Hill is just like the weather in the past few days. His heart was like a heavy weight. It was better in the Great Emperor's City, and outside the Great Emperor's City, the business of the restaurant, restaurant, song and dance band, also suddenly became deserted.

In the face of national disaster, how many people still have the desire to have fun?

In order to support the frontline officers, I heard that even the Crown Prince in the palace ordered the reduction of various expenditures in the palace. Everything in the palace was kept simple. The diplomatic receptions between Honghu Temple and foreign embassies and ministers were cancelled. When the order was given, the following naturally didn't dare to overdo it. Even if there are lavish and extravagant people, at this time, if you want to enjoy it, you can only close the door in your own yard. Everything is low-key, and you don't dare to show up.

The entire Emperor's Palace was also shrouded in a bleak and cold rain and fog.

The rainwater pouring from the plume-like clouds flew down, scouring the red-gold glazed tiles on the magnificent palaces of the Emperor's Palace, and then turned into a stream of white water. The curtains, flying down from under the eaves, are like thousands of small waterfalls, filling the entire Emperor's Palace in a layer of water vapor.

Outside the Hall of Nine Great Halls, a circle of knights holding Jinwu in armor and sharp knights are standing on the eaves and steps of the corridor outside the hall, guarding the Hall of Nine Great Halls, not moving in the water vapor and heavy rain, and at this time, even if Outside the hall, these knights holding Jinwu could still hear the angry roar of His Royal Highness from the Nine Great Hall.

"What does it mean to have no time for him? Is that how the three major sects responded? Now that the national disaster is at stake, it is the time when the major sects are serving the country. The Heavenly Mystery Sect and Demon Killing Valley have sent semi-holy first-level experts to lead the sect. The knight rushed to the Western Regions, and because of a cloud neutron, the three major sects were unable to escape. It is really unreasonable to stand by and watch the demon offensive!

In the Nine Great Hall, Xuanyuan Changying, who was standing on the imperial steps, was already out of anger, and roared at a minister who was talking to him, his eyes as if he was about to breathe fire, "Don’t the three big sects know what skin is? If there is no Mao will be attached, if Taixia is dead, how can the three major sects be spared?"

In the entire Nine Great Hall, there is the voice of Prince Changying. The minister who just responded with a grim expression and speechless, the civil and military manchuria, is also silent. Everyone knows that the so-called Yunzhongzi is just an excuse. If the big sect really wants to worry about Yun Zhongzi, pull all the knights of the three big sects to the west. No one believes that Yun Zhongzi can go to the battlefield to find the trouble of the three big sects. The real reason is that the three big sects are too big to fall. , He didn't even put the Crown Prince Changying of Jianguo in his eyes. Since the Battle of Yinhai that year, the behavior of the three sects has become more and more surly and arrogant, but Xuanyuan Hill still has no choice but to take the three sects.

After the extreme anger, the panting prince also slowly calmed down. He knew that no matter how big a fire he was here, it would not be of any use to the three sects. Instead, he might be killed. The big sect laughed, and even used it as evidence to shake his authority. The prince was incompetent. Only when the prince was incompetent would he lose his temper in the Nine Great Hall and roar the officials. If he gets angry again, it may not take a few days before such rumors will spread. The whole Taixia.

"Li Yunji, is there any news about Yunzhongzi in Tingwei's Mansion?" After slowly calming down, Prince Changying waved his hand to make the minister who had just responded to retreat to the ranks of ministers, and then turned his gaze on Jiu. One of the Qing Weiqing Li Yunji's body.

"This...Yunzhongzi is a powerful saint, and his whereabouts are erratic. Tingwei's mansion has ordered the wanted, but there is no news of Yunzhongzi yet!" Li Yunji replied with a guilty conscience.

Hearing Li Yunji’s answer, Prince Changying’s eyes were gloomy, "Besides that, Tingwei Mansion of Taixia is completely helpless with Yun Zhongzi, and there is no other way to deal with it, so I can only let Yun Zhongzi think. What do you do?"

"This..." Li Yunji was speechless.

Seeing Li Yunji's appearance, the anger that Prince Changying had just suppressed almost broke out, but he glanced at the silent Great Situ Meng Shidao, and suppressed the anger in his heart again.

Li Yunji was recommended by Meng Shidao. He had to save a bit of face for Meng Shidao. In theory, a person who can become a Phantom Knight is definitely not a weak person. It’s just that although Li Yunji is not weak, his ability, For Ting Weiqing, one of the nine qing, it is still too reluctant. It can only be said that it is quite satisfactory. When encountering a little out of the ordinary, Li Yunji can do nothing about it, and there is no way. There are so many people in the court. People who have so many resources can not share their worries at all at this time, and there is no way at all, which makes Prince Changying very disappointed.

The Prince Changying at this time actually regretted that he had followed Meng Shidao’s words and convicted Yun Zhongzi as Taixia’s wanted criminal. If it were according to Mr. Qingming’s opinion back then, Xuanyuan Zhiqiu was not eager to take Yun Zhongzi became a wanted criminal, but deliberately wanted to follow the line of Yunzhongzi to make a fuss about the massacre of Dahuangmen, and define the affairs of Yunzhongzi and the three sects as grievances, which is equivalent to Hanging a sharp sword on the head of the three sects, stepping on the tail of the three sects, why dare the three sects be so arrogant.

The current situation is completely contrary to the judgment made by Meng Shidao when he made his statement—Yun Zhongzi became a wanted criminal, and the three sects did not have the favor of leading Xuanyuan Hill, on the contrary, they completely lost their scruples. The influence of Dazongmen is getting weaker and weaker.

Thinking of this, Prince Changying glanced at Meng Shidao again. Since the Battle of Yinhai that year, Prince Changying slowly felt that he was getting more and more incapable of seeing his master, and the face of Meng Shidao became more and more in front of him. In just a few years, the relationship between the two has not been as close as it was at the beginning. Now in the court, Da Sima Zuoqiu Mingyue is leading the army to resist the demons. Faced with rumors, it is possible to enter. Meng Shidao of the holy rank, Da Sikong, who is a knight in the sky, often becomes a good person in front of Meng Shidao. Da Situ Meng Shidao is in this nine-maximum hall, and he has almost said one thing, swallowing the party in the place. The expansion is also extremely rapid, which makes Prince Changying a little jealous.

"What else does the princes play?" Prince Changying asked the Manchu civil and military a little tiredly. If not, today's imperial meeting will end here. These days, because of the unfavorable situation of the war, the daily imperial meeting is very busy. Long, sometimes even at night, the pressure of the entire empire seemed to fall on Xuanyuan Changying.

"Weigen, please play!" A general of the Fourth Army came out from the ranks of the generals, and said in a deep voice, "Now the frontline battle is critical, and the demons are pressing every step. Taixia and the Chinese have reached the autumn of life and death. Once the tribe army breaks through the front line of Tongguan, the Taixia period will be completely eroded and difficult to deal with. Now, although Da Sima sits on the front line, in the rear, Taixia’s national material and manpower have not been fully invested in the holy war. It is like two people have already In the struggle between life and death, but Taixia still has one hand that did not use strength, the final general asked His Royal Highness to immediately issue military control orders in the states of Taixia, and Da Sima and the fourth army will coordinate all the war needs and let go of the demons. Give it a go!"

When the general of the Upper Fourth Army spoke, he was immediately supported by many generals. Before Xuanyuan Changying could speak, one of the great Sinongs of the Nine Qings glanced at the silent Meng Shidao. One jumped out and objected, "Absurd, now that the demon army has not yet reached the Tongguan front line, He Yan Tongguan is about to fall, alarmist talk, now in the western theater, the land of several states, has been dominated by the Fourth Army and Lord Zuoqiu. Isn’t this enough? If all states in Taixia implement the military control order, I am afraid that the states will be messed up before the demons come in. The Sinong Mansion firmly disagrees with the military control of the states..."

Great Sinong jumped out, and a lot of civilians immediately agreed.

Once Tai Xia implements military control, the power of the Grand Sima and the generals will skyrocket, while the power of the Grand Situ and many civilian officials will completely become a foil, which will naturally cause a backlash.

The two parties immediately quarreled within the Hall of the Nine Great Halls, and it was completely difficult to unify their opinions. This proposal was not the first time that it appeared in the court, and it was not the first time that all the same disputes and quarrels appeared.

"I'll discuss this in the future..." Xuanyuan Changying could only wave his hand when seeing this situation, temporarily shelving this proposal.

Just when Xuanyuan Changying was about to announce his resignation, he stood at the forefront of the civilian ranks. Meng Shidao, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly took a step and said to Xuanyuan Changying, "A few days ago, the Jinzhou Provincial Governor said that Your Highness introduced Youzhou rice to Jinzhou two years ago. After a year of breeding and seeding, the autumn harvest in Jinzhou this year, the first batch of more than 400 million acres of Youzhou rice planted all have a bumper harvest. The 400 million acres of rice fields are better than in previous years. More than 20% of the harvest was added, and the entire Jinzhou was shaken. The wealthy people of Jinzhou rushed to tell each other and were overjoyed. This year, Jinzhou plans to expand the planting area of ​​Youzhou rice by ten times. Jinzhou governor and officials The letter, inviting His Highness to preside over this year’s Jinzhou Spring Festival, will surely encourage the morale of the entire Jinzhou people."

This is almost the only good news that Xuanyuan Changying heard from the court today. After earnestly inquiring about the situation of Youzhou rice grown in Jinzhou, Xuanyuan Changying laughed and said happily, " Agriculture is the foundation of the country, so naturally we should encourage it. Since Jinzhou has this heart, I will go to Jinzhou this year to host spring festivals for it!"

It was Xuanyuan Changying who was really inspired, because hosting a spring festival for a state was exclusive to Emperor Xuanyuan in the past. When Emperor Xuanyuan was still in the past, he would choose a state among the states that had made great harvests every year. Then he personally went to that state to preside over the spring festival for him in the coming year, in order to encourage the mulberry and stabilize the country's body. Since the imprisonment of the country, this is the first time that a governor took the initiative to send a letter to invite Xuanyuan Changying to preside over the spring festival.

The high-yield and high-quality Youzhou rice is the best in the world. In the past two years, Xuanyuan Changying personally promoted Youzhou rice and welcomed Youzhou rice to Jinzhou as a trial. I didn’t expect it to be only two years later, and it really produced great results. But because of the actual achievements, Xuanyuan Changying was extremely happy.

Just when Xuanyuan Changying was about to announce his retreat, suddenly, the outside world was pale, a bright electric light pierced through the clouds, and then a "boom" of thunder blasted over the entire Emperor's Palace. , Everyone in the Nine Great Hall of the Great Hall was shocked, even the water in the two pools below the imperial stage where Xuanyuan Changying was located was shaken by the blasting thunder.

There were few winter thunders, not to mention such a powerful thunder that resounded through the world.

"who is it?"

"bass"

Just before the bright white light of the lightning dissipated, a figure stood abruptly at the door of the Nine Great Hall of the Nine Great Halls of thunder, and the knight holding Jinwu guarding the Nine Great Hall of Great Hall of the Great Hall immediately yelled.

With the sound of the sword being unsheathed, everyone in the hall turned their heads and looked at the door of the hall at the same time. Xuanyuan Changying also raised his eyes and looked at the door of the hall.

A young man with a calm and calm face was standing at the gate of the Nine Great Great Hall, facing Xuanyuan Changying's eyes.

Xuanyuan Changying was stunned, dumbfounded, and rubbed his eyes...

"Brother Changying, it's been a long time..." Zhang Tie let out a long breath and walked into the Nine Great Halls...
