"Speak your mind. As long as I can answer, there won't be a problem."
Yi Tianxing nodded.
What kind of person was Liu Bowen? He was a top talent, a true talent to assist the king. It was not an easy thing to convince them. The fact that Yue Fei and the others could join Da Yi was closely related to Yi Tianxing's reputation in the Human Race and the Everlasting Realm. If Yi Tianxing hadn't made a name for himself, swept through the entire Godfiend Battlefield, suppressed the Evernight Faction, and established the number one Destiny Empire in the world …
Given Yue Fei's and Wan Sanqian's arrogance, how could they easily choose to join Da Yi?
Fame was the biggest bargaining chip to recruit talented people.
Without such a reputation, if someone else came to recruit them, would Yue Fei and the others agree to it so easily? It would be impossible for them to do so. However, for a genius like Liu Bowen, fame alone was not enough. What they needed was to see and feel with their own eyes.
Therefore, Yi Tianxing wasn't surprised by Liu Bowen's words at all.
"There's a saying from ancient times that if the emperor wants his subjects to die, the subjects have no choice but to die. I wonder how the Emperor interprets this saying. "
Liu Bowen said slowly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned.
Yue Fei's pupils constricted violently, and his expression changed slightly.
This phrase had been used throughout the history of the imperial court. Many important officials had chosen to die because of this saying, and Yue Fei was the true embodiment of this saying. The so-called groundless saying was, in fact, that if the emperor wants his subjects to die, the subjects have no choice but to die. Yue Fei was naturally deeply moved by this.
Yue Fei had died because he was loyal to his country and had no choice but to die in the face of the Emperor's judgment. Secondly, his family and friends were all in the capital. If he didn't return, his family would have died. These were the reasons why he had no choice but to die when the emperor wanted his subjects to die.
It wasn't that he didn't understand the mystery behind it. Qin Hui wanted him dead, but the one who made the decision was the emperor. If the emperor did not want him dead, how could Qin Hui kill him? No one who had ascended to the throne was a fool. No matter how stupid he was, he knew the consequences of killing a great general. But he still gave the order.
This was the heart of a monarch.
Liu Bowen's sudden question was undoubtedly a test.
Naturally, Yi Tian Xing knew very well what Liu Bowen wanted to ask.
After pondering for a moment, he directly said, "If the monarch wants this subject to die, then this subject has no choice but to die. In this emperor's opinion, I agree, but also disagree. "
"Please clarify, Emperor."
Liu Bowen continued after a slight smile.
"That depends on who is right and who is wrong. If an official made a mistake, it was an unforgivable crime. Naturally, if the monarch wanted the minister to die, the minister had no choice but to die. If the subject is not at fault when the ruler is at fault, then if the ruler wants the subject to die, the subject can live. Humans are not saints, and no one can be faultless. If there is a mistake, one should correct it. If the ruler does not correct it, then the subject can abandon him. "
Yi Tianxing said calmly.
He was not like the ancient monarchs and emperors who pursued the supremacy of the Son of Heaven. Even if the decisions they made were wrong and the words they said were wrong, they had to be right. If the emperor said that a deer was a horse, then it was a horse. But in Yi Tianxing's opinion, it was no different from burying one's head in the sand.
What was right was right, and what was wrong was wrong.
If one was wrong, one must have the courage to admit it.
If one did not even have the courage to admit that he was wrong, then he was not worthy of being a qualified emperor at all.
These words were not spoken on the surface, but from the bottom of his heart.
Yi Tianxing never thought of himself as a perfect person who would never make a mistake, but he was willing to bear the consequences of his mistakes and was willing to accept advice.
As for the saying that the emperor wanted the subject to die, the subject had no choice but to die.
That was, if one's achievements were high enough to shock the lord, the lord would not be able to tolerate the subordinate. He would use all kinds of means to force the subject to die.
This was the saying, "Put away the bow after the birds are done, and cook the dog after the rabbits are done".
In history, it was rare for the founding officials to have a good end. They were either suspected by the emperor or suppressed with all kinds of groundless charges. Or even killed. One by one, one could feel the sinister nature of the emperor's schemes.
The emperor's thoughts were the hardest to guess in the world, the hardest to grasp.
Yi Tianxing was very clear about the purpose of Liu Bowen's question. He was afraid that there would be a situation where the birds are done, and the rabbit is cooked after the rabbits are done.
Therefore, he gave the promise without hesitation.
If such a situation really happened in the future, he could leave on his own.
"In this case, Liu Bowen is willing to serve under the Emperor. I will entrust my talents and knowledge to the Emperor. "Liu Bowen immediately bowed without hesitation. This time, he used the etiquette of a monarch and a subject. Completely establishing the status of monarch and subject.
"With Mister Liu's help, I, Da Yi, am like a tiger that has grown wings." Yi Tianxing couldn't help but smile.
It was definitely Da Yi's fortune to have a talent like Liu Bowen.
"Congratulations to the Emperor for obtaining another talent. I believe that Da Yi will become stronger and stronger. He will become a dazzling pearl that will never fade in the Eternal World. "Li Zhilin said with a smile.
There were not only these talents in the Virtuous Gathering Tower.
Some historical generals were not few. Yue Fei was not alone. He also brought his family with him. His mother, Lady Yao, his wife, Lady Li, Lady Liu, his son, Yue Yun, Yue Lei, Yue Lin, Yue Zhen, Yue Ting, and his two daughters, Yue Yinping and Yue An's mother. His entire family was by his side. It could be said to be a rare blessing. Now, they were all in the Virtuous Gathering Tower.
Among them, Yue Yun and Yue Lei had already grown up and were now in charge of the Yue Clan's army. The other children were born in these years. It could be said that the family was harmonious, and they could enjoy a rare family happiness.
This was very rare in the Eternal World. When the Myriad Worlds merged, anyone could be separated. The Yue Clan could be so complete, perhaps it was a kind of blessing. Just like the Yang Clan, Yang Ye only had two sons by his side. The others were nowhere to be found.
It could only be said that everything depended on fate.
Rumble!!
Kill!!
At this moment, suddenly, a violent roar came from the Burning Flame City without warning, followed by a murderous sound. A violent wave swept over like a tide.
"Not good, another Eternal Night Demon has sneaked into the city and is trying to assassinate our experts. This voice belonged to Wu Wudi. Demons are trying to assassinate Wu Wudi. "
When Li Zhilin heard this, his expression changed and he quickly said.
"Interesting, there are a lot of Eternal Night Demons hiding in the war city. Looking at the aftermath of the battle, the one who attacked is not a weakling, "Yi Tianxing said slowly with a flash of interest in his eyes.
From the aura, he could feel that both sides of the battle had powerful strength not inferior to the Yang God Realm.
"These Eternal Night Evil Devils have all kinds of ghostly techniques. Their disguise techniques are even more superb. There are quite a number of them who have infiltrated the city. Moreover, all of them are experts who hide in the dark and carry out assassinations. Currently, many experts in the city have already died in the assassination attempts. The most important thing is that these demons' concealment methods are extremely brilliant. They kill with one blow and then escape without a trace. I want to search, but I can't find any clues at all. "
Liu Bowen said.
Speaking of which, this was one of the difficulties that Burning Flame City had encountered recently.
The sharp sword hanging over their heads at all times, no matter who it was, would be under great pressure. It was difficult not to be affected. Experts from various clans fell in the assassination, one after another. Moreover, the assassination methods were very strange.
"I have been investigating this matter recently. I only found some clues, but no specific clues. I don't know if Wu Wudi really caught this group of assassins this time. "
Ba Tiangang said loudly. He stood up, the muscles on his body constantly trembling.
"Come, let's go and take a look. I said along the way. This emperor would like to hear how this Eternal Night Fiend assassinated him. "
Yi Tianxing immediately made a decision. Then, he walked out of Juxian Tower.
When he stepped out, he could see that a large number of cultivators had gathered in the city.
In the sky above a tall building, one could shockingly see a tall man with an arrogant look on his face. He was looking around in shame and anger. At his throat, one could shockingly see an inconspicuous white dot. It seemed that he had just been pierced by some kind of terrifying sharp weapon. But it did not break through his physical defense, or rather, it did not cause any fatal damage.
In fact, the wound had just healed.
Because, on his body, there was a trace of blood. Even if it was indiscernible.
His entire body completely emitted a violent aura, as if he would choose to devour people at any time.
"He is Wu Wudi."
When Yi Tianxing saw it, he had already guessed his identity.
He was very strong. The aura that his body was emitting was that of an expert. He exuded an aura of invincibility. He firmly believed that with his own strength, he could overcome everything, that he was invincible.
"Yes, he's Wu Wudi. The self-created 《Black Tortoise True Technique》 was incomparably powerful. It was a top-notch body tempering technique and martial arts technique. Among those of the same rank, there are few who can match up to him. "
Li Zhilin said.
Wu Wudi had created his own Top Ten Martial Dao. In the past, he was known as one of the Top Ten Martial Artists.
The top ten were saber, spear, sword, halberd, rod, fist, palm, leg, claw, and finger.
The names were First Blade: Peerless Blade Technique.
Second Spear: Ask Heavens Spear Technique
Third Sword: Destiny Sword Principle
Four Halberds: Da Yi Halberd Manual
Roaring Tiger Stick Collection
Sixth Fist: Mountain and Sea Fist Scripture
Seventh Palm: Black Tortoise Divine Palm
Eight Kicks: Extreme Fierce Kicks
Nine fingers: Perfect Golden Finger
Ten claws: Skeletal Dragon Claws
Every one of them was a top-notch combat technique. Wu Wudi, who had created these combat techniques, was able to use them to the extreme. He displayed incredible power. After merging with the Eternal World, he received the blessing of heaven and earth and underwent a metamorphosis. His combat power was beyond imagination.
"These days, there have been assassinations in the city. It's very strange. The other party appears and disappears unpredictably, often appearing out of nowhere and launching an assassination. Before the assassination, there are no signs, and each assassination is a fatal blow. But after the assassination, the assassin will immediately burn, turning into a ball of blue ghost fire. "
Ba Tiangang said.
