"Chao Cuo, be bold!" As soon as Chao Cuo's words fell, several officials in the court changed their colors. They were sitting high above, like Liu Qi looking at all, and the beads on the crown also swayed violently. The pearls collided with each other, making a messy and clear sound.

If Chao Cuo had previously mobilized the imperial guards to go out and exchanged defenses with the 50,000 guards, and everyone could still regard it as Chao Cuo's whispers of not knowing about military affairs and could make him laugh, then at this time, Chao Cuo's personal request to the imperial guards touched the most sensitive nerves of the civil and military officials in the court, and even the noble emperor Liu Qi.

The emperor sat upright in the capital, and the gods protected him. Apart from the Nightmare Curse Art and the Insolvent Poison, there was almost nothing between the heaven and earth that could be within the palace walls. However, once the emperor left the Chang'an City and stepped onto the battlefield, it meant that the emperor would no longer be able to protect the emperor's safety and the gods.

On the battlefield, under the pressure of military energy, the gods were left without a trace. At this time, a cold arrow shot from either side could take away the emperor's life - this is one of the few ways to break the rule of the emperor's five hundred dynasties.

In this imperial country, the collapse of the emperor's middle way will have on this country, and it is conceivable what impact it will have on this country.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the emperor and the imperial guards will never leave the Chang'an City. Even in the final battle, the ministers will never allow the emperor to set foot on the battlefield. If the emperor insists on his own, the ministers will definitely not be reluctant to carry the coffin to the hall. If the empire is overthrown, then the one who bears the reputation of the glorious history books will only be the last emperor. But if the empire has not overturned and the emperor dies on the battlefield, then the ministers will only be the ministers who will be recorded in the glorious history books.

"The great censor, but the evil words confuse the crowd."

"Your Majesty, please kill Chao Cuo!" The malice of the sequel almost turned into substance, completely submerging Chao Cuo. At this time, Chao Cuo was confused. He was completely unaware of what he said was wrong - of course, the emperor must not leave Chang'an lightly.

But in the current situation, the rebels of the Seven Kingdoms have the upper hand. In his opinion, if they cannot lead the imperial guards to fight with the emperor, it will definitely not be able to stop the hundreds of thousands of rebels of the Seven Kingdoms. Once the rebels of the Seven Kingdoms break through the natural chasm of the Yellow River, it will only be a matter of time before Chang'an falls - there is no need to succeed. In Chang'an City, there are nearly one million people, and the rebels only need to surround Chang'an City and cut off water and food. Then Chang'an City will naturally be destroyed without attacking.

It is true that there is food and drinking water in Chang'an City, but there is no entry. But how long can these food and drinking water be supported?

One year or two years? Or those gods and monks can produce food and drinking water out of thin air.

Even if it can support it for several years, in the past few years, other monarchies and prefectures and counties in the empire had already changed their flags and had a new honor for the king.

"The emperor personally commanded the army?"

"Yuan Qing, what do you think?" After pondering for a while, Liu Qi reached out to stop the aggressive civil and military officials, and then turned his eyes to the Taiwei Yuan Ang.

"The imperial guards should not be moved lightly, I should just walk the Yellow River." Yuan Ang pondered for a moment, then spoke. Although he knew that as long as he pushed lightly at this moment, Chao Cuo, his old opponent, would inevitably be in a situation of no return, after some consideration, Yuan Ang gave up this tempting idea.

National affairs are in danger, and he himself is about to take action. It may be difficult for him to return to the court again. The civil and military officials in the court are also volatile. At this moment, as the head of the censor who supervises all officials, Chao Cuo must not have any problems. Once Chao Cuo has problems, the civil and military ministers in the court will not know how many dirty transactions will occur in order to compete for the position of the censor. The already-camped court will inevitably become even more treacherous. This is definitely not a good thing.

After Yuan Ang's words, the civil and military officials in the court also noticed the change in the direction of the court, so these civil and military officials also said that they had put away their little thoughts. Occasionally, some people who still couldn't see the situation clearly wanted to say something, but were stopped by the people next to them.

...

"What is this emperor thinking?" At the same time, the nine major sects in the Ten Directions Tower gathered together, dozens of great divine realm cultivators who have experienced the world for a long time and have seen the ups and downs of the world, but at this time they were all without exception, full of doubts.

They really couldn't understand the chess path that the emperor started.

"Is this the difference between chess pieces and chess players?" After a long time, an old Taoist from Fenglei Dao sighed and spoke out.

If the entire Shenzhou Empire is compared to a chessboard, then there are only eleven and a half chess players on this chessboard, namely the Taoist lords of the nine major sects and the capital city god of Chang'an City. As for the mountain lords of Wanling Mountain, they can only be considered half, and the last chess player is Emperor Liu Qi.

Except for these eleven and a half, all living beings in the entire empire, no matter what their identities or cultivation level, are just chess pieces. Even those semi-immortal giants are the same. The only difference between those semi-immortal giants and other chess pieces is that although these semi-immortal giants are still chess pieces, they already have the ability to dominate their own destiny. Unlike other chess pieces, they can only adapt to changes and go with the flow. Whether they are life or death is entirely based on the will of heaven.

Before the strategy of reducing the vassals, the people in charge of the nine major sects in Chang'an City still looked down on Liu Qi. However, after the strategy of reducing the vassals, Liu Qi officially made a move on this chessboard and guided the situation of the chessboard to change, these divine cultivators who had not been considering Liu Qi had found themselves, and they could not understand Liu Qi's chess path at all, and could not find out Liu Qi's real purpose from the changes in the situation, let alone make various responses to Liu Qi's move.

This is the biggest difference between chess pieces and chess players - status and vision.

The vision of a chess piece and the vision of a chess player are completely different from the same level. Therefore, it is of course difficult for a chess piece to understand the chess player's ideas.

At this moment, although Liu Qi was just an ordinary person, his vision and vision were the continuation of the entire empire. What he planned was not the gains and losses of a city, a place, a moment, but the future in decades and even hundreds of years later. How could these visions be limited to the great cultivators of the divine realm who were only in the changes in Chang'an City? How could Liu Qi, the emperor in the world, dared to use his throne to bet on his throne and force the major princes to participate in this bet?

However, none of these princes could detect that the current situation was promoted by Liu Qi.

Just like what the vast majority of civil and military officials think, although it is imperative to reduce the vassal states, with Liu Qi's ability and righteousness in his hands, he can silently suppress the power of the major princes and kings with a soft knife. After all, this is an emperor who has been in the dynasty for more than 300 years, and his power is definitely not something that those princes and kings can imagine, and the orthodoxy and righteousness represented by the five hundred dynasties are not comparable to those of princes and kings.

There are countless creatures in the world. Except for those who practice Qi, only the emperors of the dynasty have lived for five hundred years. When these ordinary creatures spoke, Liu Qi was sitting on the throne, and when they died, Liu Qi was still sitting on the throne.

Therefore, as long as Liu Qi is still alive, Liu Qi's existence represents absolute orthodoxy, absolute righteousness, and the same is true for ordinary people and for soldiers among the rebels of the seven countries.
