Chapter 249: Loyal officials, what about commoners
Chapter 249: Loyal ministers, what about civilians
The three armies of the east, middle and west are moving forward in an orderly manner, and no matter whether they are monsters or human enemies, they will find it difficult to resist the power of the conquering army.
The united side has more advantages, and its military authority is more majestic, and it can continuously strengthen its own value and pressure on the enemy. Looking at the two empires today, they are even more overwhelmed. Moreover, the places where they are now located have been occupied by their own people before they have been captured by the enemy, and they are constantly exploited. They are nobles.
In the past, they never thought about today, but it was too late. No matter how expensive it was, in order to survive, they could only pay more to buy food and do things they could no longer do. Even the emperors had gradually lost their due prestige, but they still had some military power. When the soldiers had no food to eat, they would have nothing.
All this was caused by them themselves. Who said that they were arrogant and believed that no matter how they did it, no one would say anything, and no one would resist. But now, where did the confidence in the past go? It was not that even if there were resistance, they would be killed. But now, it is obviously impossible and can no longer become a fact.
The Frost Empire is also the only empire that has not been attacked by the Hongyun Dynasty, but their country is not easy, because they themselves, like the other two empires, regard the people as ants and beasts, and do not care about their lives or death. Moreover, they did not stop in the war zone in the northern part of the central continent, because they also wanted to open up the channels and gain an advantage.
But now they were a little scared. After about half a year, they finally escaped from the two empires to the Frost Empire and learned everything. This shocked the nobles of the Frost Empire. At this time, they looked back at everything in their country, which looked so similar to the other two countries. They themselves did not want to follow in the footsteps, so they could only take the initiative.
"Your Majesty, we must completely wipe out the bandits in the country, otherwise the country's power will become weaker and weaker. Look at the Taiyan Empire and the Fierce Wind Empire are the best examples. They are real examples. Your Majesty, you can't hesitate anymore, otherwise the empire will lose its due combat ability. You should stop the boring war and put down the bandits in the country first."
"Has the Right Prime Minister said too much? I want to believe that even if there are no troops in the war zone, they can still be pacified by the current military advantages. There will be no difficulties. If the affairs in the war zone are slowed down, the advantages obtained will disappear, and the monsters will reoccupy the territory that we are not easy to obtain. This is a failed war and will definitely not be allowed to fail."
"That's right, it's just that with the current army, these damn bandits can be eliminated, but things in the war zone cannot be stopped. If they stop, it means we have failed. This cannot be allowed. Please give orders to your Majesty."
When the right prime minister heard these ministers say this one by one, he felt very heavy. Don’t they know that there is no need for this war zone to exist at all. It would be a waste of resources and would intensify the stalemate between the local and the central government. Moreover, the bandit chaos is getting more and more chaotic. I think it will become even more uncontrollable soon. It would be a bit too late to mobilize the army at that time.
"Your Majesty, absolutely not. Things in the war zone are simply a disaster for the foundation of the country. You must stop and eliminate them, otherwise it will be too late, Your Majesty." The right prime minister kept admonishing, his face became even more anxious, and the heavy feeling in his heart was even more unfair.
"Your Majesty, the matter in the war zone must not be stopped, otherwise the nobles would definitely not agree. Now it is not as serious as the right prime minister said. As long as we use the army in our hands to quell the bandits, we will surely achieve a better result. I believe that Your Majesty will not want the entire aristocratic class to oppose it. They really want to compete for military achievements, Your Majesty."
Face, damn face issue, these nobles like to build their military achievements on the basis of civilians who died. This is what they want. The right prime minister is speechless now. Don’t you know what other use can their nobles be? It’s incredible that they still want to use face issue. Don’t you care about the existence of that dynasty at all.
"Your Majesty, you can't wait. The Hongyun Dynasty will never give up. When they occupy the two empires, the rest will be our empire. Your Majesty, I sincerely hope that Your Majesty can appease the people's livelihood and allow the empire to settle down. Only in this way can you better resist the invasion of the Hongyun Dynasty. Your Majesty, you should be prepared now, otherwise it will be over. Your Majesty cannot wait."
"Damn Guizhi, Right Prime Minister, do you think you can do whatever you want when you are in a high position? Do you think you can do whatever you want? Don't forget that you are just a civilian? If your Majesty hadn't appreciated you, you would never have such a chance. Now you dare to go against our nobles is simply seeking death. Your Majesty, Right Prime Minister, boldly plotting against you, and ask Your Majesty to surrender your crime."
For a time, there was a lot of strife in the court. The right prime minister Guizhi had nothing to say now. Although he knew the bad traditions of nobles and civilians, and had been determined to improve the relationship between the two over the years, he did not expect that when he encountered the problems of the central continent, he suddenly became more and more conflicts between civilians and nobles. In the end, he achieved nothing. The heartache in his heart was really hard to describe.
Thinking about it, I was fortunate to see Your Majesty on a trip and then appreciate it after meeting. I was brought back by Your Majesty and was gradually reused. However, it was the difference between civilians and nobles. Even if Your Majesty wants to speak for him now, it cannot be. You can imagine the pain in your heart. Can civilians and nobles really not be able to live in peace? That kind of wish is really impossible.
"Your Majesty, I am old now and want to retire and return home. I hope your Majesty will beg you for your kindness and thank you for your cultivation over the years. Your Majesty's great kindness and virtue will be repaid. I beg you for your kindness." Guizhi is disheartened now, and he cannot see such a situation. He is really a reputation as a nobleman. He is simply a group of bastards who only know how to save face and will know the consequences in the future.
Now that he heard Guizhi's resignation, the noble ministers were still generals and no longer spoke. The meaning was not to be clearly stated. The dignified emperor could not even protect his beloved ministers. He was really incompetent. However, the nobles now have great power and had to give in. They had to give in. In desperation, they could only be merciless. The pain in their hearts was something that others could not understand. It was so helpless.
Guizhi took off his official uniform and put it down, and then thanked the emperor, then slowly walked out of the palace and returned to his home. Although he had always been an official, he was quite poor and his mansion was not very big. He was given by the emperor. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to buy such a mansion here without any money.
As soon as Gui Zhi arrived at home, he asked his wife and others to prepare things, and then prepared to go back to his hometown, and said nothing afterwards.
However, a smart person could tell at a glance that he could not be a judge and didn't care. He was not from the aristocratic class, but only when he met His Majesty, he would have the opportunity to rise to power. Now those nobles don't want him to be a judge, so they can only be demoted and become civilians again. It seems that nothing has changed, everything has returned to the past.
"Master, we are all ready. When will we leave? The children are waiting."
"Let's go, let's go, we should leave this place that did not belong to us, hahaha, I thought that civilians and nobles could live in peace, but it was my wishful thinking. It was better to continue living in my hometown. Everything was air pressure. Let's go, we should go back. The people in our hometown are anxious, and the nobles are anxious, hahaha."
"Yes, Master, please slow down, you are not young anymore, go slowly, and now there is no shortage of time, take your time."
Guizhi didn't say much, and his family would gradually get along. He felt very pleased when he saw his two sons. Although he had been an official for many years, he had not given up his education for his children, so that they would never have the habit of a noble. Otherwise, he would have been angry to death and would not have the confidence he is now. It is the best thing for his son to be successful, and he was relieved.
"Father, mother, the carriage is ready. You get on the car first, and you are about to set off."
They didn't say much. Except for the house, they finally looked at the mansion. Everything was empty and no longer belonged to him. Perhaps it was originally not his, but just a temporary residence. It was not in the hearts of others. Perhaps it was just after being appreciated by the emperor that they could not help but think that they could be competent. In the end, they realized that they did not have this ability and looked down on themselves too highly. It turned out that they were just a useless person and left.
The carriage slowly walked around and soon left the city gate. After leaving the imperial capital, it might never come again in this life. Everything disappeared like a dream, everything disappeared like smoke. It turned out to be just a dream, not real, not real.
"Look at Prime Minister Zuo's family, why did they leave? What's going on? Did you offend someone?"
"It should be, but it is so sad that such a good minister was expelled from the imperial capital. We civilians are going to be miserable again."
"Yes, yes, without the right prime minister here, what backstage do we have? Those nobles are becoming more and more arrogant, hey."
A miserable look.
