Chapter six hundred and forty seventh: often make the hero full of tears
Compared with the grace of Chang'an, the elegance of Shangjing, and the glory of Yuejing, the palace of Qin is rough. The fastest updated horizontal and vertical layout is like an army queue. The huge stones are not colored or painted, but they are carved with paintings on them, with lines flying, and a few strokes, giving out the charm and unconventional. You can tell at a glance that it is a masterpiece.
And in the palace, the most shocking thing is Chaotian Palace. It is a pyramid-like building. The huge yellow rocks form a three-level stacked tower from bottom to top. Emperor Ma Yue usually lives inside.
This yellow stone is only produced in the desert in the west of Qin State. It is extremely difficult to quarreate. Only after a huge storm, these yellow stones will occasionally be exposed to the ground. After the next storm, they disappeared without a trace. The desert terrain changed with the strong wind and could not mark the terrain at all. This also made this yellow stone produced very little. Occasionally discovered it, and they are unique to the royal family. If outsiders privately hide this yellow stone, they will be a traitor. In Qin State, if this is a head-lost place. This has formed the most proud place in the Qin Palace, because no matter how strong Qi State or rich Chu State is, it cannot build the same palace like this in their country.
Although the night was deep, the yellow tower hall was transparent from top to bottom. After Li Zhi returned to Yongdu and entered the palace, the lights at the night of this tower hall never went out again.
On the top floor, Li Zhi sat on the terrace, sitting here, bringing almost all the Yongdu City into his eyes. Yongdu at night was like a galaxy, with light belts entangled with each other. There were not many livable places in Qin, so there were a large number of people in Yongdu, with millions of people gathering here, even compared to Chang'an, it was not inferior.
"So beautiful!" Li Zhi patted the railing gently with his hand, "It's so quiet, I hope we, Yong, have always been so peaceful and beautiful."
Beside Li Zhi, the Emperor Ma Yue of the Qin Dynasty sat side by side with him, while the Prince Ma Chao stood behind him.
"Old coach, I have sent someone to Yuejing City to find Qin Feng. As long as Shu Chang can cure you, I will be willing to return Kaiping County to them." Ma Yue looked at Li Zhi and said.
Li Zhi smiled and shook his head: "Not to mention Shu Chang, this time even if the god descends to earth, he can't save me. Your Majesty is also a master's cultivation. After I entered the palace, you have observed for me. Isn't it clear that my injuries? Bi Wanjian uses the bamboo sea as his sword and sets up a ten-mile sword formation, which itself evolved from the Wanjian Sect's Ten-Sword Formation. His own strength is only slightly inferior to me. The last sword has long cut off my vitality."
"Bi Wanjian!" Ma Yue was furious, "From now on, the disciples of Wanjian Sect will kill them as long as they step into my Great Qin!"
"Your Majesty is in a state of urgency." Li Zhi looked at Ma Yue, but his expression was extremely relaxed: "Deng Fang once told me that I can last for decades, can I still last for a hundred and a thousand years? This world will eventually be handed over to them. Afterwards, he said it was not bad. There are talents in the country and the country. Without Li Zhi, other heroes will emerge in my Qin."
Ma Yue clenched his fists and pounded violently on the wall on one side. Huangshi, which was as hard as steel, sank silently into a big pit: "The old coach should not mention Deng's family to me. Now, as soon as I think of them, I wish I could kill the nine clans, collude with foreign enemies, and trap the huge trap of killing the country. Even if I kill them ten thousand times, it would not be an exaggeration."
"Your Majesty must not think so." Li Zhi turned to look at Ma Yue, "Do you know why I wanted to kill Deng Fang instead of Deng Pu? Logically speaking, as a master, Deng Pu has a more prominent identity in the Deng family?"
"It's because Deng Fang has ambitions." Ma Yue said.
"Yes, Deng Fang has ambition, but the bigger problem is that this person is not only ambitious, but also talented. Deng Hong and Deng Pu are all talented in military affairs, but they are not as strong as political traits. But Deng Fang is different, and he is well aware of this. So I am more afraid of him than Deng Pu. Deng Hong and Deng Pu also have ambitions, but their ambition is to command the Qin army, spread the world and create a vast world for Qin. This time, he set up a plan to deal with me, and he hit it off with Min Ruoxi, and in a short time, he dispatched three masters to set up a killing game, which I didn't expect. In fact, when Deng Pu appeared outside Yongdu City, I should have thought that things were not that simple." After pausing, Li Zhi said mockingly: "When people get old, they are not so keen."
"Deng Pu is also one of the culprits in killing the old coach." Ma Yue said angrily.
"As a master, Deng Pu will be one of the reliances of the Qin Dynasty in the future. Your Majesty should not hold a grudge against him." Li Zhi said: "In the future, Deng's family will be in charge of power, but Your Majesty and Bian's family will be able to check and balance them well. Deng Hong and Deng Pu, at least they still have no intention of rebellion. But after they come to power, they will inevitably launch wars to the outside world."
Ma Yue sighed: "Their main target must be Chu State, and Bian Wushuang is the first to be the brunt of it. What I worry most is that Bian Wushuang can't stand it. If Bian Wushuang loses repeatedly, it will be even worse."
"Yes, the main attack direction must be Chu, because Deng's family is now in good terms with Ming, and they need to continuously obtain steel, weapons, and food from Ming. But Your Majesty, Li Zhi believes that the one we need to worry about and guard against the most is Qin Feng of the Ming Dynasty."
"Mingguo has just been founded and his strength is weak. Why is the old coach most worried about them?" Ma Yue asked strangely.
"Your Majesty, I have been to many places in the Ming Dynasty, met many officials of the Ming Dynasty, and had many deep conversations with Qin Feng. This person is unfathomable. He has great experience in governing the military and the people. What is even more rare is that this person is very good at employed people and dares to use people. This is the most terrifying thing." Li Zhi said: "This person is ambitious, and he is the same type of person as Min Ruoying and Cao Tiancheng, but he has concealed his ambition well, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, like a poisonous snake peeking on one side. Now in the battle of Qi and Chu, the future battle of Chu and Qin will have the shadow of this person behind it. No matter what problems a country has, he will definitely rush out and bite it. Qi and Chu are thin camels bigger than horses. He will not act rashly until the critical moment, but our Qin State is different."
"This boy is so sinister?"
Li Zhi nodded: "Why did he have a good relationship with Deng? First, he was to disagree with our Qin monarch and ministers and constantly strengthened Deng's family, who were dissatisfied with their current situation and wanted to go further. The Ming Dynasty had already done this. Second, he was to let the Deng family take power and launched an attack on Chu. Qin Feng saw it clearly that if Deng wanted to get supplies from Ming, he would only go to war against Chu, but he sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight and wait for an opportunity to gain benefits."
Ma Yue nodded: "Then how should I deal with it?"
"We have to fight this battle of Chu. Because we don't fight, Chu will fight too. Once I die, the country will be in panic for a while, and An Ruhai of Chu has always wanted to regain control of the Luoying Mountains, so this battle is not something we can avoid. If I guess it is good, Bian Wushuang will inevitably suffer consecutive defeats in the early stage of the war, and the Luoying Mountains will probably not be able to be saved. But Your Majesty must protect Bian Wushuang. Because the failure in the early stage of the war is not all Bian Wushuang's problem. He just went to the border of Chu where the 100,000 border troops were Deng Pu's old subordinates, and he was unable to command, and even deliberately defeated and brought damage to the Bian family. But Bian Wushuang will inevitably find vitality in the desperate situation and slowly use the war to clean up some of them. Finally, the 100,000 border troops were transformed into his own."
"If we lose the Luoying Mountains, we will lose the initiative over Chu!" Ma Yue said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much." Li Zhi said: "If what I expected was right, An Ruhai would only attack Qinghe County after taking down the Luoying Mountains, and Bian Wushuang would definitely defend Qinghe County to the death. The current focus of Chu State is on the East Realm. After we get enough benefits, we will stop. Bian Wushuang won a chance to breathe, and given him a few years, he can stabilize his position. Your Majesty, within ten years, our Qin Dynasty can defend the local area and win a turning point."
“Where is the turning point?”
"The State of Chu will inevitably cause chaos." Li Zhi's eyes were bright, "Although Min Ruoying was not talented, she was too ambitious. Luo Liang's attack on Qi was not smooth, so he re-activated Chengwuben, Jiang Tao and other generals, and the government was incompatible, and generals had a gap. With Luo Liang's character, major events will inevitably happen in the future. If the Eastern Front of Chu is defeated, it will be our opportunity to launch a large attack. This is also the best time for us to seize a large swathe of Chu. As long as we seize a large swathe of Chu, we can truly gain a foothold and no longer be trapped by financial resources. With the fierceness of the Great Qin Tiger Ben, the Kunpeng will spread its wings and soar into the sky."
"Li Shuai thinks that the Chu Congress will fall first?" Ma Yue asked.
"This is just my prediction. As for what changes will happen in the future, Your Majesty will adapt to the situation. Maybe Ming Guo will come out to make trouble." Li Zhi gently rubbed his temples. "But the general way is to go like this."
"I will definitely keep it in mind what the old coach told me."
"Your Majesty, hold the thunder tightly, and the royal family will be fine. Joining with the Bian family will allow Deng to be honest and lackeyed for you. Even if you fight the world with great strength, the world will have the surname Ma instead of Deng. You are the emperor in the hearts of the people and are also the orthodox. It is extremely difficult to grasp this in the middle, but for Your Majesty, this should not be a problem."
Hearing Li Zhi's voice getting lower and lower, Ma Yue reached out and held the calloused hands, and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Old coach, don't give up!"
"What's the difference between one day earlier and one day later?" Li Zhi smiled and said, "People will die in the end. Even if I delay for a while, I will only suffer more. What should be said has been said, and what should be done has been done. It's time!"
Ma Yue stood up with sobs, turned to Ma Chao and said, "Chaoer, kneel down and see the old coach off."
The Crown Prince Ma Chao knelt down in front of Li Zhi with a loud voice. Li Zhi took a deep breath: "After I die, I will be buried in Gushan. Don't need a grand burial, a pile of soil, a monument, and write the word Li Zhi on it!"
A sip of turbid air was exhaled, and Li Zhi murmured: "Yongdu at night is so beautiful!"
Ma Yue looked up at the sky, and Ma Chao touched the ground with his head.
