Supreme pardon

Shuyi was very direct, and said forcefully, "He broke in."

Wen Renjue was stunned for a moment, and said something unclear, "It's amazing."

"King?" Yan Zhen hurriedly followed in, seeing Shuyi standing alone in the center of the hall, everyone stared at him with astonishment, and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

Wen Renjue's eyes turned on the two of them, and after a silent meeting, he nodded, "Sit down first."

The guard who was waiting on the side stepped forward to add two chairs, Yan Zhen walked to the left and sat down, but Shu Yi still stood upright in the original position, with firm eyes, gazing up.

Wei Duan was surprised, and called out hesitantly in his mind: "Master?"

"What else do you need?" Wen Renjue was neither hot nor cold, with a calm face.

Pulling up the corners of his mouth and laughing stiffly, Shu Yi turned around suddenly, and glanced sharply at the ministers on both sides. He said in a cool tone, "I have a few questions, and I want to ask everyone present."

Wen Renjue narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his arms to support his chin, and did not speak.

The people who met Shuyi's eyes were a little stunned by surprise, like Hong Yu, who had already turned her head away uncomfortably.

Shu Yi is a gentle person, except that he occasionally looks like a thorn in front of Wen Ren Jue, he is not like this in front of other people, so today's strange behavior, coupled with the sharp eyes now, makes everyone feel uncomfortable.

With strict eyes, he looked at the past one by one, and finally fixed his eyes on Pan Zhiyi.

Pan Zhiyi folded his hands on his thighs, motionless.

Even though Shuyi is quite aggressive now, he is still indifferent with indifference.

"At the very beginning of the war, Mr. Pan gave an order. At that time, many people expressed their confusion." When he was still on the road leading the army, Pan Zhiyi gave an order to Xiang Yang on the front line, asking him to lead his troops. Everyone evacuated from the three cities of Qiu, Dong and Hua. "We paid a lot of money to get the three cities. They are equivalent to thorns inserted into Jiang Baifeng's flesh. They are also our outposts for attacking the tenth district. A small part of the reason why we dispatched troops quickly was to prevent Jiang Baifeng from taking back the city."

His eyes fell on Xiang Yang, and Shuyi's tone became low, "Minister Xiang must have been confused by Monk Zhang Er at the time, and he was very unwilling."

Xiang Yang didn't speak, but looked calm.

"If Wang Ling is not in hand, I am afraid that this order will not be carried out."

Shuyi is not exaggerating, Pan Zhiyi himself has not been with them for a long time, and the process of coming to Wen Renjue's side, the high-level people are very clear, no one dares to say that they are completely at ease with such a person.

Including letting people go out as the leading strategist, the criticism behind this matter is not small.

It's a pity, since Wen Ren Jue's order has been issued, there is no room for change.

And Pan Zhiyi's first order was really unbelievable.At that time, the opposition from the ministers was aroused, and Wang Ling was unhurriedly thrown out.

If not, several ministers, including Xiang Yang, would have fallen out.

That is Wen Ren Jue, after hearing the news from the front line, don't even ask.

At that time, even Shuyi himself was very puzzled, thinking about his intentions for several days.

But before he could figure it out, the news came back.

Not long after the garrison withdrew, the plague broke out in the city. It was a highly contagious disease. People would have fever, convulsions and tremors after getting it. Some people were aggressive and their thinking would become quite confused.

There is almost no cure, and it can also be said that the consequences of man-made aggravation.Because the three cities experienced turmoil and war not long ago, the days of peace have only passed two days, the army has withdrawn, and everything is waiting to be done. Who knows that this kind of thing happened at a critical moment, and millions of residents are getting more and more irritable in the uneasiness.

The original management class was wiped out, and what Xiang Yang and others built after taking over was only a temporary management mechanism. They left in a hurry, and the city was already in chaos. Without a royal organization to deal with it, there was no one to suppress and unify the organization. strength.

Tragedy is inevitable.

"Mr. Pan said that he had received the news that the tenth district was going to send out a large army. In order to avoid the power consumption of the weak, he first gathered all the soldiers and horses, so he ordered the garrison in the three cities to withdraw." This is exactly what Pan Zhiyi later told everyone, including the outside world. , he gave grounds for withdrawal.

This reason is very sufficient, because after Jiang Baifeng took back the city originally occupied by the [-]th district, he dispatched the war department to wait for the opportunity to take back the three cities.

"But what's the real reason? Mr. Pan!" He gritted his teeth and raised his voice, Shuyi still had a smile on his face, but his eyes turned red strangely.

The lazy expression on Pan Zhiyi's face disappeared, his pupils were dark and he did not speak.

Shu Yi looked into people's eyes, suppressed the anger in his heart, and his suppressed tone was distorted and crazy, "As soon as the garrison evacuated, the plague broke out in the three cities. Is it a coincidence, everyone?"

Heihu squeezed the armrest of the chair with his right hand, and turned his head sideways.

Xiang Yang's eyes flickered, but he didn't make a sound.

Hong Yu averted her gaze early in the morning, but she couldn't see her expression clearly at this time.

Lan An crossed his legs, as carelessly as before.

Yan Zhen looked left and right, and finally fell silent.

Shuyi grieved on the face, but there was still a false laugh from the bottom of his throat, which was continuous and continuous, almost whining, "The chaos and order of the three cities collapsed, the disease was rampant, and the same clan killed each other. What a tragedy in the world?"

After Xiang Yang led the war department to evacuate, they were not too far away from the city. They were stationed outside, waiting for the arrival of Pan Zhiyi and others from behind.

The residents of the city escaped after waiting for help, and Xiangyang and the others faced each other coldly at gunpoint, and even if they could pass them, the road ahead was in other royal districts, and refugees like them would not be allowed to enter.

The only place they can escape is the Tenth King's District in the rear.

Although they have been occupied for several months, they still think that they are from the Tenth King's District in their hearts.

"Among the three cities, the dead and injured are not counted. In total, nearly a million people flocked to the towns in the ten districts behind. Jiang Baifeng is winning the hearts of the people. Of course, he cannot refuse at this time, and he has no power to refuse." People have no sense at all. They escaped from a chaotic city that was almost cannibalistic, and the city with their own royal district behind them blocked them from entering. In the previous disaster, these people were more or less Few lost loved ones.

Contradictions, despair, sadness, simmering chaos and struggles bloom everywhere.

It was under such circumstances that the army led by Pan Zhiyi was able to conquer countless towns with ease.

In the end, quickly approaching Wangcheng.

In this war, Wen Ren Jue's side can be ignored if the damage is small. For such a big strategy and result, it can be called a miracle.

"Have you seen what those towns look like?" Shuyi asked, and finally he was willing to take his murderous eyes away from Pan Zhiyi's face, and took out a stack of photos from his arms. Scattered, scattered all over the place.

Wen Renjue was sitting on the throne, his eyes flicked over the photos all over the floor.

Coincidentally, Hei Hu and the others also lowered their heads to look.

Those pictures and scenes can be called hell on earth.

A woman holding a child and crying bitterly, a seriously injured man dragging an old man along the street in a daze, a few helpless children cowering together, corpses piled up at the entrance of the street, as high as a hill...

"What are we... for what, for what?!"

With his eyes closed, Shuyi couldn't bear to look at those tragic scenes again, and let the helpless tears fall down his face.

Heart-piercingly, he stared straight at the unmoved man in the seat above, asked once, and asked again.

"I can accept the cruelty of war, and I also know that there are too many unavoidable sacrifices in this world, and I have never had the right to speak easily, but in the end, we are human beings, and the most basic requirement is humanity Well, if we can be so dehumanizing for our purpose today, where will our belief and purpose be in the future?"

"Pan Zhiyi..." His thin body seemed to possess infinite power at this time, Shuyi no longer looked at the pair of deep eyes above, but turned around, approaching Pan Zhiyi step by step, his tone slowed down, restrained Your own emotions, "What is kingship in your eyes?"

Pan Zhiyi stood up, stared at the person without fear, and said calmly: "Rule."

"Then what is the ultimate purpose of domination?"

"Gain strength... what does Mr. Shu want to tell me? Is it benevolent and moral?" Pan Zhiyi looked at him very calmly.

Shu Yi tried his best to calm down his emotions, "Power should be a means, not an end. What kingship ultimately wants is order and benevolence, not power."

"Isn't it too extravagant to talk about these things before you have enough capital to survive?" Pan Zhiyi smiled, "You are also a strategist, how can you not understand that under the war, people lose their lives, it is destiny."

"Don't impose your purpose on the sky. You will do whatever you want for your strength. In the end, you will only run in the opposite direction. The hearts of the world are not all in your hands. Do you still want to become a Taoist when your heart becomes a demon? Blindly pursuing a result that is not the result will eventually You can only lose yourself, you can't even win against yourself, and you still want to replace the sky?"

"Sir, you are really eloquent, but you also know that now that our king domain is in charge, we have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to develop a medicine that can cure the plague, and even distributed a large amount of supplies to treat the residents and appease the refugees at any cost. The sir did not leave. Are you leaving? Who is the most grateful person in the Tenth King’s District? It’s our king, the king’s domain we’re about to establish, isn’t this the destiny?”

Shuyi sneered, and his eyes fell behind Pan Zhiyi, looking at each other one by one as if questioning.

"What is popular opinion? It is something that can be easily influenced by speech and what you see. I understand what you mean. If you become a demon, you will be punished by the world. But demons and Buddhas belong to the same clan. What is the most precious thing in this world? No Is it the truth?" Pan Zhiyi smiled, with a cold tone, "It doesn't take too many people to know about such a precious thing, most people just need to agree with an answer that makes them feel comfortable, right?"

"There will always be turmoil in the succession of the kingship, but who is the savior of the tenth district now? How many people will die under these less turmoil? Have you calculated it? Not to mention before, if you really want a town by town How many more casualties will be added if we attack?"
