Chapter 38: Cause and Effect
"Luo Aiqing? Do you think of me as senior Luo Wuya?"
Looking at the ministers of the court and the True Dragon Emperor on the throne, Zhou Yu said softly.
"It turns out that from that time on, I had already established a relationship with the Zhao Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, Luo Aiqing is arrogant and starts talking nonsense. I believe that after he achieved the position of Shinto, he no longer has the position of emperor in his heart. This person should be killed."
"Wei Chen agrees with Wang Taishi's words. This person is not only delayed in going to court, but he is also dressed in plain clothes and does not look like a minister at all. If he dares to come forward, according to the law, this person should be executed."
"I second the proposal."
...
"Your Majesty, Luo Wuya has been fighting for the country for many years, and this is the first time that Shinto canonized him as a god. There may be other changes in this, so please forgive him, Your Majesty."
Seeing that the civil servants were all saying kill, one of the leading generals instead cupped his fists and persuaded them.
"Wei Chen agrees with General Weiyuan's words. The Shinto incident is indeed the first of its kind in our dynasty. Please handle it leniently, Your Majesty."
At this time, another military commander walked out of the queue and said immediately.
All of a sudden, the civil and military quarrels in the Manchu Dynasty were full of quarrels and endless debates.
"quiet."
Seeing that the quarrel was getting more and more intense, the young emperor who was sitting on the dragon throne raised his hand and said loudly.
"Luo Aiqing, now the civil and military officials in the court are arguing endlessly about your matter, and I am also unable to make a decision.
But the fact that you are here today shows that you still have me as the emperor in your heart.
In this case, I will give you a chance.
They all say that you will be away from home, so you may not accept your orders, but since you are here today, kneel down on one knee and accept your orders."
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military voices in the court stopped, and their eyes once again looked at Zhou Yu who was in silence.
"Luo Wuya, why don't you kneel down?"
As time passed, the generals immediately tried to persuade him, and they were all angry and shocked.
As for the civil servants, they calmed down at this moment, and each of them sneered at Zhou Yu, who was standing in a different position.
"Kneel down."
"Kneel down, kneel down."
"Luo Wuya, why don't you kneel down?"
As loud shouts rang out from within the hall, a series of killing intents began to continuously bless Zhou Yu's body as time went on.
In this murderous intention, Zhou Yu felt his body trembling, as if a force of heaven was constantly suppressing him.
The power of the sky was so strong that Zhou Yu's legs began to gradually bend as they trembled, and an overwhelming clicking sound came from his body.
"What if I don't kneel down?" Zhou Yu said slowly in silence while looking at the civil and military officials of the court and the young emperor on the dragon throne.
"If you don't kneel, you will die." Before the emperor could speak, the leader of the generals on the right side of the hall took a step forward and said coldly.
"I'm not Luo Wuya, and if Luo Wuya were here, I wouldn't kneel down." Looking at this person, Zhou Yu said slowly.
As he spoke, a white light stepped out of Zhou Yu's body and stood to his right.
This person is exactly what everyone calls Luo Wuya.
"Your Majesty, Luo Wuya, please see me."
As the man's body condensed into shape, Luo Wuya, who was dressed in silver armor, raised his fists and said respectfully to the young emperor.
Although the words were respectful, it was exactly as Zhou Yu said. Luo Wuya's body stood upright without any sign of kneeling.
Seeing this scene, the court was silent and the emperor was silent.
"You really don't kneel down?" The young emperor looked at Zhou Yu and Luo Wuya in the audience and said slowly.
"Yesterday was the cause, and today is the effect. The word "Your Majesty" completes the cause and effect, so this moment is false." Zhou Yu looked at Luo Wuya, looked at the young emperor, and spoke slowly amid the glares of the civil and military officials of the court.
As these words came out, Zhou Yu's body began to twist. In this distortion, the scenes in the court began to change continuously.
After a breath, Zhou Yu closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, the civil and military forces in front of him had already dispersed.
Looking at this scene, Zhou Yu continued to move forward without any fluctuation in his heart.
If he had knelt down just now, then he would really become the Luo Wuya that that person calls him.
In this way, you will be addicted to the illusion and unable to escape.
But facing the illusion, although Zhou Yu dare not say how good he is, he will never indulge in it easily.
Because the illusion he experienced was unimaginable by others.
As Zhou Yu continued to move forward, the scene in front of him suddenly changed again.
But before these changes could be completely condensed into entities, they disappeared without a trace and retreated into nothingness when Zhou Yu took another step.
One step, another step.
Illusions keep appearing and disappearing.
Some of the illusions are of battles on the battlefield, and others are of flying swords in the sky, sometimes of generals leading troops, sometimes of fighting against evil spirits and beasts.
But no matter what kind of illusion, it never lasted a breath in Zhou Yu's eyes. Even these illusions had just emerged and were dispelled by Zhou Yu's indifferent eyes.
Although there is some distance from the entrance of the main hall to the throne, Zhou Yu is still in the process of stepping forward.
This distance, which is unreachable in the eyes of ordinary people, has finally come to an end.
After a cup of tea, Zhou Yu came to the throne.
But when he came to the throne, the statue of the emperor in front of him began to become blurry.
In this blur, the space above the throne began to gradually distort, and an obscure thought suddenly came from above the throne.
"It doesn't matter if you sit down." Feeling the temptations filled with desire, Zhou Yu chuckled and sat down immediately.
"Roar!"
In an instant, a dragon roar sounded from his ears.
This dragon roar came very suddenly, and before Zhou Yu could resist, the world in front of him changed again.
What appeared in front of him turned out to be the original illusion.
The only difference is that at this moment, he is no longer Luo Wuya, but has become the young emperor in Luo Wuya's eyes.
"What if I don't kneel down?"
Following Zhou Yu's gaze, Luo Wuya in the audience asked calmly.
"If you don't kneel, you will die." At the same moment, a roar came out coldly from the mouth of the head of the military commander on Zhou Yu's right.
"Your Majesty, this man has no respect for his superiors and should be executed."
"This person should be killed."
"I second the proposal."
"I also second the proposal."
As the words of execution rang out one after another, a sense of murder suddenly filled every corner of the hall again.
This chill enveloped not only Luo Wuya in the audience, but also the body of the emperor transformed by Zhou Yu.
"Your Majesty, should I be beheaded?"
When Zhou Yu was silent, Luo Wuya raised his head and looked into Zhou Yu's eyes, and said in a calm tone.
"What is the cause and what is the effect? Cut off the previous cause and achieve the effect of the next thing. The cause of the later thing will get the previous effect."
"The so-called cause and effect..."
Looking at Luo Wuya in front of him, Zhou Yu fell into silence. This silence was not due to the murderous intention of the whole palace, which wanted to destroy his throne and tear his body apart.
It was because the scene in front of him caused the meaning of cause and effect that he had felt before but was broken to rekindle in his heart.
Looking at Luo Wuya in front of him, he seemed to have seen his previous question.
This scene combines his initial encounter with Shinto, and the scene where he kept contacting and thought he had escaped, but was faced with it again.
In these thoughts, Zhou Yu, who was sitting on the throne, slowly spoke...
