Chapter 660 The Oath
Yan Liqiang lowered his head and walked on the quiet and cold road outside the Imperial Capital City. He held a jar of wine in his hand. In the biting cold wind, snowflakes falling from the sky fell on his hair and eyebrows slid into his collar. It was cold and harsh, but Yan Liqiang had no idea. He still lowered his head, drinking wine in big mouthfuls, step by step, with heavy steps...
Yan Liqiang's heart was even colder than the weather in Dijing City. Even if he drank the strongest wine in Dijing City, it seemed like it was burning as soon as the wine was in his mouth, Yan Liqiang's whole body and mind gradually became colder and colder...
The two sides of the official road were pitch black. At this time, the water that was splashed out could freeze into ice on the road in a while, and even the dogs hid in their nests and stopped barking, so there were almost no one on the road. Even the inns and restaurants on the side of the road were basically proofread at this time. Only the lanterns under the sign outside were still floating in the wind. From a distance, they looked like ghost fires in the night.
People are like leeks, and they can be resurrected when they are cut. Officials are like beams, and they will lose their losses...
Sun Bingchen's words were still echoing in Yan Liqiang's ears. In just one sentence of fourteen words, in an instant, it was like an insurmountable bloody natural barrier, which separated Yan Liqiang and Sun Bingchen and others. At this time, Yan Liqiang realized that he and Sun Bingchen and others had never been people from the same world.
In order to give the people of this capital to more vitality before the heavenly disaster came, Yan Liqiang used all his skills and tried his best. When he thought he had succeeded, he found that the situation he had worked hard to manage over the years was like a castle piled up with sand on the beach. Under the strong wind and waves, it was crushed to pieces by someone in the blink of an eye, and someone stepped on it hard, leaving no trace left.
The Times of the Han Empire became a complete joke. The newspaper Yan Liqiang conceived to remind the people to avoid natural disasters, but the final effect was completely opposite. It became a tool and means for the court to deceive and deceive the people, completely deviating from Yan Liqiang's original intention.
Although Yan Liqiang is generally unwilling to admit his failure, at this time, he had to admit that in the confrontation with the upcoming heavenly tribulation, he lost and lost. He expected everything. He tried his best to establish the "Han Empire Times", formed a newspaper team, and forced Lin Qingtian away, carefully prepared the drama of the birth of the stone turtle. However, he did not expect that the corrupt officials who surrounded the capital and hollowed out the official warehouses and grain warehouses of various states in this country.
Between preserving the court and the lives of tens of millions of people in the capital, both His Majesty the Emperor and Sun Bingchen chose the former without hesitation.
Angry, self-blame, regret, and bit Yan Liqiang's heart like a poisonous snake. He hated why he was so naive. As a person who had read countless history books and was influenced by modern civilization for two lifetimes, he would actually choose to believe in a corrupt and backward feudal court at a critical moment. He chose to believe in a system that proves his greatness by praising wise and honest officials. In the heavenly disaster that concerns countless people's lives, the people in the world are just leeks and straw dogs. What they care about is the court. What the court is, to put it bluntly, is this power system that can ensure that they can still be prosperous, rich and arrogant.
If the people in the capital are going to migrate and escape, they will definitely put the entire empire into chaos. This chaos will have the greatest impact on the power in their hands. They are afraid of chaos and change, and are afraid that the tens of millions of people in the capital will become floods and beasts that will destroy their power dam. Therefore, no matter what, no matter how many people will die in the future, the people in the capital are absolutely not allowed to migrate on a large scale and leave their residence. The people must believe that the upcoming heavenly disaster is a rumor. Everything in the Han Empire is as usual, so that they can feel at ease and calmly transfer their property and family to a safe place, leaving a way out for themselves.
This is the dirtiest betrayal and the most shameless deception.
Sun Bingchen is not a corrupt official. He is self-disciplined and decisive in his work. He has high requirements for himself and those around him. He is a capable minister, a cadre, and a famous minister. His goal in his heart is to even be famous throughout the ages and recreate the glory of this empire. But it is such a person who, with those corrupt officials who hollowed out the official warehouse and grain warehouse and cut off the life of the people in the capital, stood tacitly in the same camp at the critical moment, and chose to sacrifice the people together, hide the filth and preserve the court. Sun Bingchen naturally had his reasons and reasons, but Yan Liqiang could never accept it, and could never forgive their so-called reasons and reasons!
This is also the reason why Yan Liqiang blamed himself, because there was a good official like Sun Bingchen in the court. Because His Majesty the Emperor treats him well, he relaxed his vigilance against the court and chose to believe and rely on it. Looking back now, how naive and ridiculous it is!
I have already revealed the trump card of the heavenly tribulation. The heavenly tribulation is imminent, but at this moment, I have no means. More than 10 million people are still stranded in the capital and are difficult to leave. As time goes by, from now on, every second, the escape window of these people will be narrowed, and more and more people will turn into ashes in the upcoming heavenly tribulation. At this time, what can I do alone and what can I do in the Imperial Capital...
His Majesty the Emperor will go out to hunt the Emperor's capital after February, and inspect Jiangnan. All the civil and military officials in the court will follow him. This time, the Emperor will go out to hunt for eleven months. If the heavenly tribulation will come during the hunting period, His Majesty the Emperor and the civil and military officials in the court will successfully escape this heavenly tribulation. If the heavenly tribulation does not come, then His Majesty the Emperor and the civil and military officials in the court will come back after a round of the imperial examination. This plan is perfect.
The reason why His Majesty the Emperor recruited him from Ganzhou this time was that Sun Bingchen explained that the emperor trusted him and hoped that he would accompany him in Jiangnan. In fact, he was just a mascot around His Majesty. His Majesty the Emperor hoped that he would bring him good luck in the crisis. Lin Qingtian was not dead, and His Majesty the Emperor knew it very well...
Sun Bingchen didn't say a lot, but because of the snake, Yan Liqiang knew it. It was not until now that Yan Liqiang knew why Sun Bingchen chose him as his attendant when he was inspecting Ganzhou as an imperial envoy, and brought him from Ganzhou to the imperial capital. Why did His Majesty the Emperor favor him and look at him with a different eye...
"A young man in the northwest wasteland dares to swallow the sky with two mouthfuls. So that's it, so that's it..." Yan Liqiang murmured to himself, while talking, he poured the wine from the wine jar into his mouth, but a mechanical smile appeared on his face, and finally turned into a crazy laugh to the sky. Tears surged out of the laughter. His eyes were red with tears, pointing at the dark sky and laughing in the wilderness, "Haha... Hahaha... Hahaha... Hahaha... God, I know now, I'm a fool, I'm just a big fool, being fooled by others, playing around, I can still be a mascot for warding off evil spirits, hahahaha... Are you satisfied... Guru Guru... Hahaha... Haha...
Kill all... One day, I will kill all the miscellaneous people... kill all the miscellaneous people... kill all the money... killing people with gold belts, repairing bridges and repairing roads without corpses... I don't believe this evil... I don't believe that there is no cause and effect in this world... I don't believe that the people of the world will always be the leek straw dogs... If there is no... I Yan Liqiang swears to the heaven here that I will live my life in this life, even if my bones and ashes are crushed, and sinking into the sea of blood forever, I will be their retribution... I will take those leeks and straw dogs, kill all the miscellaneous people... Let the world turn over... Let the people who kill and set fire to die, let the bridge and repair roads live, let the officials be like leeks, the people are like beams, Guru Guru, hahaha..."
