"This thing … to make it, it's not difficult, but it's not easy either … But if it's mass-produced, I dare say that under the threat of death, it's only a matter of time before others want to imitate it."
The officials didn't have any reaction to her words, but the commoners' faces turned even paler. They couldn't imagine what would happen if this thing fell on them, in the fields, in the academy!
GongYimo looked straight ahead and sighed, "But this thing is also very good. If I use it to dig a canal, it can shorten the time of six to seven years by more than half! So much so that I'm standing here on a boat … Not only that, it can be used to build roads, open mountains, and mine … There are countless uses, but it can also be used to kill people. "
She smiled bitterly and looked at the emperor who was silent for a long time, "So Your Majesty, you can be afraid or angry, whatever! This thing, when the moral standards of the people are not up to standard, I won't hand it over. Don't you think about how many children you have and how many concubines you have? You may be able to suppress them when you're here, but what about when you're not? Will their ambitions be smaller than yours? One evil thought is enough to split this fertile land into pieces … "
After that, she bowed deeply in the direction of the commoners.
"Previously, I lied to everyone, saying that I had the ability to cut mountains and rivers, and in order to continue digging, I lied to everyone that the canal was built by Heaven! I admit it. Now that Lou Ye is invading and the war is imminent, I'm not willing to hand over this thing. Everyone should blame me, but I, GongYimo, swear here! If our Dai Yu state doesn't have it, other countries won't have it either … This oath can be witnessed by Heaven and Earth! If I violate this oath, I will die a horrible death, and be abandoned by both God and Man! "
Saying this, she lifted her clothes and knelt down, bowing her head in deep repentance.
"I beg for Heaven's forgiveness. I, GongYimo, am guilty. I have a weapon in my hand, but I'm not willing to contribute to the war. I, GongYimo, am guilty. I've caused the Crown Prince to fall into such a situation, his life and death unknown! I, GongYimo, am guilty. Because of me, Ninth Brother can't be helped! "
Her voice became louder and louder, as if she was reading her own sin to Heaven! It also seemed like she was dissatisfied and rebelling! Every word and sentence was filled with tears of blood! But her expression was cold and stern, as if the deep mockery in her words didn't exist.
Finally, she smiled weakly and looked at the Emperor.
"And Your Majesty, I, GongYimo, am guilty, but I am willing to accept any punishment and am prepared to face it all!
And you, are you sure you can defend it?
Have you ever thought about the consequences of taking what belongs to me? The ambition to unify the Central Plains and the battles for the imperial power might put countless people in danger because of one wrong decision of yours! Did you really consider these consequences when your ambitions were inflated? Are your actions really worthy of the people of Dawn? "
Gong Cheng's face was deathly pale. He couldn't get off the stage. He looked at the people below. At this time, they had forgotten their fear and were looking straight at him. It was as if his will would decide their life and death.
But he couldn't refuse! Before he had seen the power of the United States, he could still comfort himself that others were exaggerating. But now that he had seen it, it didn't matter if he couldn't get it. But what if someone from another country got it?
He had to think about it!
What oath? What responsibility? He couldn't do it. But GongYimo, a woman, could do it?
Unless she was dead!
GongYimo slowly stood up. Looking at Gong Cheng's murderous eyes, she felt pain in her heart. Her eyes couldn't help but shed tears …
"Father Emperor … Do you still remember that I am your daughter?!"
"I was once your most beloved daughter! In order to win your smile … How many things have I done? Do you still remember everything in the past?! "
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was heart-wrenching. Many people were moved. She was like an ordinary girl seeking her father's love. She complained with grievance and sorrow. Her young face was full of tears!
They didn't understand why the princess was so good. Why did the princess wholeheartedly serve the people with good intentions? Why did she stand on the opposite side of the Emperor and bear the coercion of the imperial power alone?
This was wrong. The princess wasn't wrong!
Gong Cheng's heart ached. He turned his eyes away, not daring to look at her.
She wasn't his biological daughter, but Gong Cheng couldn't deny that the affection he had for this daughter was much more than all of his biological daughters put together!
But … Why didn't she believe him?
Speaking of the word believe, Gong Cheng smiled bitterly. Yes, he also couldn't believe that GongYimo would keep this weapon for a lifetime. Wasn't GongYimo the same? She also didn't believe in him. She was afraid of causing chaos in the world.
Both of them were thinking from the perspective of the world, but they could only oppose each other.
Both of them knew that this was a dead knot that could not be untied!
GongYimo finally wiped her tears. At this time, her sad and gloomy appearance made many neutral ministers unable to bear it. They couldn't help but think, there were so many husbands in the world, but how many could be compared to this child in front of them?
Gong Cheng slowly opened his mouth after a long time.
"Your three requests, zhen … received."
GongYimo looked sad. She bowed and bowed to the ground.
"But I still have three wishes. I need Your Majesty's permission."
Gong Cheng slightly choked.
"… Speak."
"First wish, these common people under the city were all deceived by me. They escorted me here. They are innocent. I hope Your Majesty will not pursue this matter and allow them to enter the city."
Many scholars who heard Gong Yi Mo's name immediately thought of them. Some of them even shed tears, and some of them even shouted out.
"Princess is benevolent and righteous! We are willing to follow you! "
"We pledge our lives to follow you!"
GongYimo smiled with relief, but didn't look at them. Gong Cheng nodded, indicating that he agreed.
With his nod, even if some ministers were afraid that GongYimo would kill their way in, the city gate was opened. The common people who were tired from the journey could finally enter the city to rest. But they were silent. No one expressed happiness, and no one wanted to resist GongYimo at this time.
Seeing that the common people could enter the city, GongYimo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly.
"Second wish … Now that the Crown Prince's life and death are unknown, I hope that Imperial Father can release the Empress to take care of him. Moreover, I hope that Imperial Father can recognize the Crown Prince's contribution and return the honor he deserves to him."
Thinking of the child he used to threaten GongYimo, Gong Cheng felt ashamed. As a father, he could be ruthless, but as a sister, GongYimo could do so much for him … Gong Che may be unfortunate, but because of GongYimo, how lucky was he?
So he nodded and agreed to the second request.
GongYimo smiled. Her pale little face was bloodless. Just a few days ago, she spat out the blood in her heart, but now she is still holding on for the safety of others.
"The third thing … Gong Jue is innocent. He has been alone since childhood, and I have been the only one who has taken care of him. In the future, I hope that Father Emperor can take over this responsibility and not let him be alone again."
Gong Cheng nodded heavily, but after he nodded, he immediately felt that something was wrong!
