Chapter 1400: Heavenly Decree 9, War and Human Disaster
Chapter 1400: Heavenly Decree 9, War and Human Disaster
The capital of the Qin Empire, as the most prosperous city in the entire Qin Empire, is also the place where the dragon energy of the Qin Empire gathers. Naturally, it is also known as the safest place in the Qin Empire.
However, at this moment, the sound of bells resounded throughout the imperial capital.
"Dang! Dang! Dang...!!"
Nine consecutive bells rang throughout the city, causing panic among millions of residents. Many of them even knelt on the ground and trembled in fear.
It was because the sound of the bell was unusual; it was the warning sound from "Tianyu", the sacred bell that guarded the country of the Qin Dynasty.
Since the founding of the Qin Empire, the Divine Bell of Heaven has only sounded nine times three times, namely, when the Qin Empire was founded, when the King of Zhenbei rebelled and besieged the imperial capital, and when the former emperor of the Qin Empire passed away. It can be said that each of these three times was a major event that shook the entire Qin Empire.
And this time was no exception, because just a month ago, the entire Qin capital was besieged once again!
However, this time, it was not the Qin rebels who besieged the imperial capital, but the Wu clan army, which was countless times more terrifying than the rebels.
Therefore, the nine sounds of the Heavenly Edict this time frightened countless people of the Qin Dynasty into despair, especially the elderly who started to talk nonsense: "The Qin Dynasty is unjust. Since the new emperor took office, there have been wars every year. Although the territory of the Qin Dynasty has been expanded countless times, creating a prosperous Qin Dynasty, it has also caused the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people!
Look! Today, the ninth ring of the Heavenly Decree is the Heaven using the divine bell to vent its anger!
This means that the Qin Dynasty is about to be destroyed! !
The Qin Emperor is unjust! !
Poor us, the honest people... God is so unfair, God is so unfair!!”
“Yes, those young men rushed to the frontline battlefield one by one. I heard that most of them could not even hold out for a day and became cannon fodder. It was hard to even find their intact bodies. It was really pitiful!
I really don’t understand why the current emperor wants to start a war?
Isn't peace good?
Isn't it profit that everyone in the world is after?
There is obviously nothing to talk about. The worst that can happen is to cede some cities and territories. They are useless things anyway. In this way, at least everyone's descendants can save their lives and no one will become cannon fodder on the battlefield. Isn't that good?
Even old guys like us can figure it out, why can't the current emperor figure it out? ! "
"Humph! What's there to not understand? I think it's clear that Emperor Qin is acting recklessly for his own selfish reasons. Anyway, he doesn't have to fight on the front lines, and the ones who die won't be his descendants of the Emperor family, so he can naturally not care at all!!"
"That's right. Since ancient times, kings have all been cold-blooded. They only pursue their own pleasures, but it is us, the honest people at the bottom, who suffer. It's really hateful!!"
"..."
For a time, there were many critical voices in the imperial capital, complaining about the war and the emperor.
Soon this kind of sound reached the palace and reached the ears of the Qin Emperor, Di Qin.
"Your Majesty, these guys are so abominable!"
"Your Majesty has done everything to protect them and save the entire human race. Why do these people turn a blind eye to it?"
"Your Majesty, I suggest that those who spread rumors should be severely punished for disrupting military morale and treason. Kill one if you find one. As long as you kill enough, these negative voices will naturally shut up!"
In the court, a minister raised his opinion with an angry look on his face.
Because only those who are in high positions can truly see everything that is happening in the distance, so they know very well how difficult it is for His Majesty to work for this country.
As soon as the new emperor took office, there were many voices of patricide and usurpation of the throne in the country, and there was also the Chang'an Jun mutiny. After that, the barbarian invasion was massive. In order to fight against the barbarian disaster, Emperor Qin began a long conquest of the surrounding areas, fighting to support the war and to strengthen the military.
Finally, he rode his horse onto the Immortal Gate, creating a feat of the mortal kingdom's rebellion against the Immortal Gate. Then he reformed the order and truly began a comprehensive reform, promoting the method of cultivation in the army. In just a few decades, he increased the overall combat power of the Qin Dynasty countless times, and finally withstood the pressure from the barbarian cavalry.
But at this time, the demon tribe also began to invade. Emperor Qin had no choice but to recruit a large number of soldiers and send out troops to fight, starting battles on both the north and the south.
This is not the end. Now that the demon army is heading south, even the barbarians are in danger. Emperor Qin is well aware of the harm caused by the demons, so he ignores the advice of his ministers and directly sends most of the country's troops to support the barbarians and fight against the demon army.
It was at this time that the Witch Clan appeared. They swept across the country with an extremely crazy attitude and finally besieged the imperial capital.
It was precisely because of this that the Qin Dynasty had to go to war every year during the past few decades.
However, all the ministers knew very well that this could not be blamed on Emperor Qin. On the contrary, if Emperor Qin had not perished early, the entire human race would have had no hope.
It was not easy for the Qin Dynasty to remain strong for decades despite repeated pressure from foreign races.
"Your Majesty, please let me take action!"
"I will shut up those guys who are disturbing the morale of the army. I just need to chop off their heads and hang them in the downtown area for public display. I believe everyone will shut up!!"
Yinhu, who was wearing a golden tiger mask, spoke in a deep voice, and his eyes hidden under the eye sockets exuded a strange scarlet color.
Emperor Qin shook his head slightly upon hearing this, then looked at the ministers in the court and chuckled, "No matter what era it is, as long as there is war, there will definitely be human disasters, and human disasters are often caused by those who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
This type of people are extremely weak towards the outside world and are full of worries and fears about the future. They usually appear to be afraid of death, but once they start criticizing their own country, they are often more active than anyone else, as if they are the great saint who can save the world.
Although this type of people are afraid of death and love life, they are actually bullies at home. If they are asked to go to the front line to kill the enemy, they will be so scared that their legs will go weak, but they can create chaos in the rear without regard for their lives, calling it saving the world.
All of this is just a change in people's hearts. Killing them will never end. Instead, it will make me be known as a tyrant.
But you can rest assured that my merits and demerits, and the merits and demerits of my Great Qin, will not change because of the complaints of a few people.
All merits and demerits will be left to future generations to judge!
So just ignore those voices outside!
However, after being besieged for so long, perhaps many people think that the Qin Empire has run out of luck. It is time to show the whole world the iron fist of the Qin Empire!"
Emperor Qin said, and then he looked at Chen Long and the other twelve Shadow Guards beside him, and asked calmly: "Are you ready?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We have been preparing all along and will definitely not let Your Majesty down this time!!"
Chen Long nodded towards Di Qin with a firm look in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master is already prepared, just waiting for your order!" a monk in Taoist robes said in a deep voice.
"Well, in that case, then you all should follow me out of the palace to see the so-called Wu Lao!"
Emperor Qin laughed and immediately led all the ministers of the Great Qin to walk out of the palace.
