(Strive to stay in the top ten!) Chapter 582: Incredible Confidence Jiangbei Road Firefox City is very famous, but it is just a ruin. When the Central Plains was still ruled by the Great Zheng Kingdom, Firefox City was once a majestic city second only to Chang'an. Of course, Chang'an City at that time was far from what it is now. Firefox City was a pure military city of the Zheng State. In order to demonstrate the military strength of the Zheng State, the founding emperor of Zheng ordered the construction of Firefox City on Jiangbei Road, which could accommodate 300,000 soldiers. The purpose of building this city at that time was to frighten Chen Guo in the south of the Yangtze River. When Emperor Zheng was fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains, Chen State in the south of the Yangtze River also coveted the Central Plains. He sent troops north several times and once occupied the entire Jiangbei Road, which was only a thousand miles away from Chang'an City. Later, after Emperor Zheng defeated the enemy and ascended the throne, he personally led the army to drive the Chen army back to the south of the Yangtze River. Then he ordered the construction of Firefox City and stationed troops here. Firstly, it was to demonstrate his military power; secondly, it was to convince the people; thirdly, why didn¡¯t Emperor Zheng want to send his troops south to unify both sides of the river? Later, Zheng's army made several southern expeditions, starting from here. It's just that although Chen Guo later had several dim emperors one after another, there were many famous generals. Chen Guo's southern expeditions all ended in failure, but Firefox City has always been an important military center. Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, raised his troops, and the first big battle was to conquer Firefox City. At that time, the all-conquering Sui army encountered the strongest resistance in Fire Fox City. Although they later won, the loss of troops made Yang Jian heartbroken. The Sui army attacked fiercely. Before breaking the city, the Zheng army burned the city to the ground. The fire lasted for half a month, leaving a ruin. Later, the ruins of Firefox City became a must-see place for literati and poets. It is unknown how many poems were left here. At the beginning of the founding of the country, Yang Jian wanted to restore Huohu City, but due to the expansion of Chang'an City, the national power was not enough to support it, and the court officials opposed it, so he failed. Although the world is in chaos at this time, Gangbuk Province, which is adjacent to Gyeonggi Province, has not been involved in the war for the time being. It's just that there are obviously not as many people visiting Fire Fox City as before, and the official roads seem deserted. A team of more than 200 people protected the carriage and galloped north along the official road. The team coming from Shaanbei Road did not choose the shortest road. Instead, they circled half a circle south and then turned back to Chang'an. After returning from a long journey, the more than 200 knights with good cultivation looked dusty, and each of them looked a little haggard. Su Buwei, who was driving the carriage, lifted the curtain from time to time and looked inside the car. The emperor's body had been getting weaker and weaker recently, and he had been unable to eat for two days. It seemed that it was even difficult for him to insist on returning to Chang'an City. This once ambitious emperor was now as thin as a withered skeleton, huddled in the carriage, neither opening his eyes nor speaking all day long. What Su Buwei was most afraid of was that the next time he opened the curtain and looked inside, the emperor was dead. In fact, even now, Su Buwei doesn't know why the emperor is still alive. This supreme emperor, who is obviously dead, has unexpectedly lived two years longer than the old director of the Yanwu Academy predicted. If this is not a miracle, then Su Buwei doesn't know what it is. ¡°Perhaps even the emperor himself thought this was a miracle. "It is unimaginable what is supporting His Majesty the Emperor who refuses to die. "Where are you?" A faint voice of inquiry came from the carriage. This was the first time the emperor spoke in three days. "Back to Your Majesty, Fire Fox City is just ahead. If nothing happens, we can return to the capital in another half month. Your Majesty, are you hungry? Would you like me to stop the car and cook you a bowl of rice porridge?" "Fire Fox City ¡¡± The emperor, who was huddled in the carriage, pulled the velvet blanket covering his body with some effort and opened his eyes slightly: ¡°I remember that when I was still a prince, the late emperor asked all the princes to come to Fire Fox City to have a look. , to pay homage to the soldiers who died when we first conquered this city I even burned the paper money with my own hands" Su Buwei's heart moved, but he didn't expect the emperor to be interested in saying this. "Not just my brothers, but all the emperors of the Sui Dynasty would ask their sons to come to Firefox City to see this ruins. It is here that 70,000 Sui warriors were buried. That was Taizu. It was the most difficult battle the emperor had fought since he raised his troops. Even when he conquered Chang'an City, he only lost 30,000 fine armors." The emperor breathed for a while and smiled at Su Buwei: "Stop the car when we arrive at Fire Fox City. , I want to see it again." Su Buwei was overjoyed and quickly agreed. The emperor was obviously in better spirits today than before. He had long wanted to stop the car and cook a bowl of porridge for the emperor. In the past two days, the emperor had not had enough food and water, and he was almost exhausted mentally and physically. But just when he was happy, he suddenly thought of something that made his heart tighten again, and he subconsciously?Looking at the emperor, the corners of Su Buwei's mouth trembled. "Don't be afraid." The emperor smiled very hard: "I am not reflecting on my past I didn't like to talk a while ago because I wanted to conserve my strength. I was afraid that I would die before I could hold on to Chang'an City. Wouldn't that be a pity? Now we are so far away Chang'an is close, and I have long wanted to see Fire Fox City again." Su Buwei felt relieved and gave instructions to the guard knight. Thirty or forty men were separated from the cavalry and sped forward to prepare first. The carriage slowly stopped outside the ruins of Fire Fox City. Su Buwei jumped off the carriage and opened the curtain, then climbed up again, climbed out with the emperor on his back, and carefully got off the carriage. He held on tightly with both hands. He looked at the emperor, fearing that the emperor would no longer have the strength to fall off his back. One of the accompanying guards quickly pulled out the blanket from the carriage and wrapped it around the emperor. Su Buwei carried the emperor on his back and walked forward. The emperor leaned on him and looked up at the ruins. For some reason, he suddenly said something that Su Buwei couldn't understand. It seemed like he was talking to himself or something like Who do you want to tell. "Ruins Actually what I'm most afraid of is seeing the ruins" In front of the ruins, the guard put the recliner in place, then helped the emperor get off Su Buwei's back and sit on the chair. The emperor tilted his head and looked at the seemingly endless ruins, his eyes filled with sadness that made people feel tight. After Su Buwei put the emperor away, he quickly turned around to get the rice. He didn't want the guards to get involved in making porridge. He knew that the emperor couldn't chew even slightly harder rice grains now. But the emperor still has the dignity of the emperor, and Su Buwei doesn't want the guards to know this. Master Zhang from Wudang Mountain came over slowly and knelt down to diagnose the emperor's pulse. The emperor shook his head slightly: "No need, I know I can persist until I return. If I don't do anything for the prince, I won't die." Zhang Zhenren was stunned, and then stood beside the emperor not knowing what to say. "Sirif I hand over the world of the Sui Dynasty to you, can you lead those hot-blooded men in the world of the Sui Dynasty to help the prince stabilize the world of the Sui Dynasty?" The emperor murmured: "Just likethe old dean did it back then. Assist Emperor Taizu, just like my seventh brother assists me I asked you at the beginning, you said that what you want is to steal a few more years from God to live. If you join the temple, I'm afraid you will He died several years ago. I didn't blame you at the time, because I still had Xiao Yijiu in my hands. Although I could see that Xiao Yijiu was too thoughtful, he was indeed better than you in cooperating with the court. " "What your Majesty is saying is" Zhang Zhenren whispered: "Xiao Yijiu knows how to cooperate with the court to stabilize the Central Plains martial arts. He also knows better than me how to convince the people of Daozong so that they will not be convinced. I would not believe in any other sect. He could make a peach blossom bloom overnight on Qingle Mountain. I had no intention of choosing Xiao Yijiu. I knew it was the right choice.¡± He disappointed me.¡± The emperor sighed: ¡°Master, you won¡¯t disappoint me, right?¡± Master Zhang opened his mouth and said nothing in the end. The emperor was obviously disappointed that he did not get the answer he wanted, so the sadness in his eyes became more and more intense. After a while, he turned to look at Zhenren Zhang and said, "It would be great if I could cultivate. If I could live forever, I could make Sui Dynasty stronger. It's not that I'm afraid of death, I just don't trust the prince. "I firmly believe that I can do better than previous emperors. As long as you give me time I can make the Sui Dynasty a giant ship that will never sink." "I firmly believe" Zhang Zhen said. When he heard the word "Chen", the emperor's face changed and a joyful light flashed in his eyes: "I want to thank you." "I just think that the Sui Dynasty cannot fall." "Yes how can the Sui Dynasty fall? ?¡± The emperor smiled: ¡°That¡¯s why I have to rush back and tell the prince some things. I want to tell him that no matter what happens, don¡¯t leave Chang¡¯an City. No matter how many people the thief has, Chang¡¯an City is not the same. Anyone who wants to can break it. The reason why Emperor Taizu wanted to expand Chang'an City was because he knew that as long as Chang'an was there, the Sui Dynasty would not fall" "So what if it's Luo Yao? He might be able to enter Chang'an himself. But his soldiers and horses couldn't get in. What's more he didn't dare to enter Chang'an. " "Yes" Zhang Zhenren nodded: "As long as the old dean is still in Chang'an City, Luo Yao will not dare to enter." "It's not just that." The emperor suddenly smiled, with some incomprehensible pride: "When we return to Chang'an CityNext, I will tell you a big secret. This secret could only be told to the successors by the emperors of the Sui Dynasty before they died, so I did not tell the prince in advance even though I was seriously ill. Because this secret is too big, I'm afraid the prince won't be able to keep it. Once this secret cannot be kept and is known by others, then the secret that my Yang family has worked hard to arrange for so many years, and the secret that the old dean spent half of his cultivation to protect, will have no effect. " "My lordit's better not to know. "Zhenzhen Zhang bowed his head and said. "No." The emperor said: "The old dean is too old after all. If he hadn't spent half of his cultivation to do that thing, he might have been able to protect my Yang family for another hundred years, but Now, he is almost at the end of his life. If the old dean is gone, you can only help the prince to keep this secret. "Zhenzhen Zhang didn't speak, but his heart became heavier and heavier. I don't know why, but he didn't have any curiosity about the secret the emperor wanted to say. What was left was just strong sadness. "Once this secret comes, it must be announced. , I'm afraid it will scare everyone. "The emperor smiled, and then moved his body laboriously. "The Yang family's determination to protect this empire is not something that anyone can guess and understand. For the Sui Dynasty, the hard work that the Yang family put in was far from visible to outsiders. When the hundred-mile Chang'an City was originally built, the court officials and the people opposed it, but I, the Yang family, decided to do it, because once Chang'an is built, when the Yang family encounters a crisis, Chang'an will become the strongest fortress, and no one can break it. . "The emperor seemed a little confused. He had said this back and forth several times. He looked at the ruins and raised his finger with difficulty: "I will never let anyone see me, and the prince will never let anyone see me." When people see it, the Yang family will never let people see Chang'an City become like this! "Zhenzhen Zhang was a little surprised at this time. How can the emperor still have such confidence now? Is it because of the huge secret that the emperor just said? But what kind of secret can make the Yang family devote all their efforts to guarding it? Wan Xingchen spent half of his cultivation to create? Is this the reason why the emperor is so confident?
