Chapter 323: Dynasty

"You're such an idiot!"

At night, there is no palm lamp in the palace of King Zhao, and people are also asleep. A handful of firelight lit up from the darkness, reflecting Yanbei who climbed up his kimono next to the couch, he spoke, but there was no one else in the hall where the curtain was hung.

Yanbei extinguished the fire sickle, placed the palace lamp on the table, and sat upright on the couch. On the case opposite him, in addition to the palace lamp, there was also a skull carved with gems, and Yan Bei was talking to the skeleton at night.

The owner of the skull was called Wang Mang when he was alive, and he was the emperor of the new dynasty in the past, and he obtained the throne from the first Han dynasty by means of Zen Rang, and was later killed by the descendants of the Liu family, and the head was made into a national treasure, and placed in the deepest part of the treasury together with the white snake sword of the high emperor.

A long time ago, Yanbei obtained this head, along with the jade seal representing the authority of the world, the snake sword of Emperor Gao, the huge shoes of Confucius, and the map of Dingzhong, which symbolizes the world.

But among those national treasures, Yanbei always cares most about this head, and even a long time ago, Yanbei, who occupied Luoyang, once slept with this head, saying that it was a warning of his ambition, but in fact, this general who never seemed to believe in any ghosts and gods, why didn't he want to be confused and be guided by the ethereal ghost to guide his way?

But there was never a response, there was no sky, no yellow sky, no Taiyi, no Wang Mang, naturally no.

It is just a little dry bone left in the world after death, and even if the person is honored when he is alive, the bones left behind after death are not more valuable than the precious stones and gold set on them.

But Yanbei likes to talk to it, and Wang Mang's skull does bring a lot of thinking to Yanbei, but it is no longer a warning, but a revelation.

Changing the dynasty is not a difficult thing to do at this time. After a long period of chaos was reunited, the princes at home were either exiled or defeated, the world was calm, and people's hearts were also yearning for stability. Especially in the most stable foundation of the Yan family's rule, Youzhou, Jizhou, and Guanzhong, if you don't deliberately mention it, people will even forget that there is still a son of heaven in Yedu.

Most of the most honorable scholars in the past followed the emperor and were limited by the blockade of Yedu, whose influence was minimized, and they could not affect the palace of Zhao, nor did they have the slightest prestige in the country, and the nobles who had lost the power of public opinion in the government and the opposition were knocked to the dust, and they could not do anything.

In the process of a series of power transfers such as the eunuchs of foreign relatives, Dong Zhuo in power, Wang Yun in power, and Yanbei moving the capital, the real nobles in the world were cut flesh and bones by the ring knife, and after Yanbei was crowned King Zhao Guo, they were kicked out of the power center. Before that, they only had one mouth, and now they couldn't even open their mouths.

Even if he tried his best to open his mouth, he couldn't let out the deafening roar before, and only the whispers that the heavens knew in the capital were left.

The people on whom the imperial power can rely are nothing more than the four pillars, relatives, eunuchs, courtiers, and nobles. Relatives and eunuchs were killed by courtiers in Luoyang more than ten years ago; The nobles either died or became the princes of a divided land, and now only the courtiers are available, but the courtiers are still shackled by Yanbei and locked in the Yedu.

If Yanbei wanted to use 'illegal' means to obtain the throne, then he only needed to open his mouth and ask people to write a Zen book and send it to Yedu, and someone would persuade the emperor to seal the big seal and just wait for the Zen concession ceremony to be held.

But Yanbei didn't want to do that.

To this day, there is only one last hurdle left for whether to be the emperor or not, and this hurdle cannot be changed by other forces, it is Yanbei's own heart, and it depends on his own choice.

It is up to him to choose how to take away the throne of the Liu family.

Is it a 'Zen Jean' that looks 'legal' but he insists it is not? Or is it a 'rebellion' that he thinks is 'most reasonable' but is actually not lawful.

He didn't want Emperor Gao to have a deep hatred for the pre-Qin at that time, at that time, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms had not yet died, and rebellions with the aim of restoring the country and the slogan of punishing the tyrannical Qin were rising one after another, and the overthrow of the Qin Dynasty had enough legitimacy at that time. But this era is different, including Yanbei, no one has a deep hatred for the Han Dynasty, even if he mourns his misfortune, even if he knows that the dynasty is exhausted, even if he returns to power, he will not be able to maintain the huge territory of the current Zhao State with the past government system.

But there was still no reason to rebel.

The collapse of the Han Dynasty was not simply because of the absurdity of the emperor, even if there were reasons for the previous emperor, the current reigning emperor was not at fault...... He has never been in charge of the government himself, so how can he be at fault?

Even Yan Bei himself is full of feelings for the Han Dynasty, this feeling is not that he shows how much love he shows, but he doesn't need to show it at all. He wore Hanfu, spoke Chinese and wrote Chinese characters, used the Han art of war to lay down a large land belonging to the Han family, and even subconsciously said 'my Han family people' when talking about the people, and when talking about the samurai, he must be called 'my Han family son', his father and brother were born in the Han Dynasty and died in the Han Dynasty. He is a Han Chinese, which has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and it cannot be changed by a few words calling himself a general like his subordinates.

It's just that the situation has finally come to this point, and the law of the princes destroying the dynasty cannot be changed, and Han and Zhao must set the master and slave. If he stays like this, maybe he will be able to maintain it in the world for ten or twenty years, but one day he will sleep in Changling, and then Yan Huan, who has no prestige, can still control the government like him?

If not, then the country he has created, the territory he has demarcated, and his world will all be handed away.

He must put an end to this decaying dynasty with his own hands, give an account to those who follow him, and leave a legal principle for his descendants.

This legal principle is extremely cruel, but it is extremely correct in Yanbei's view of the world - rebellion.

Yanbei is not Zhao Zheng, he likes to read history, and it just so happens that his position and experience can make him understand the meaning behind the history books.

Those who destroy the Six Kingdoms are not Qin; Qin is also a clan of Qin, not the Six Kingdoms; The Qin people have no time to mourn themselves, and the Han people mourn it; The Han people mourned but did not learn from it, and it also made the Zhao people mourn the Han people. Yanbei doesn't want people to continue to complain like this, and there is nothing to complain about. Since the emperor of the Han Dynasty could not lead the people to be peaceful and strong, then he Yan Zhongqing would lead him, and he would use his method of seizing the world to tell the people of the world - if the descendants of the Yan family could not control the world and make the world bitter, the king could take the world and make the world sweet.

This legal principle is to warn the descendants of the Yan family and also tell the people of the world that imperial power is not used to hold high and respect, nor is it to be loved for no reason. Imperial power is to lead, to lead the people to warm and fed, to lead the people to open up the territory, and it is not enough to call it imperial power. And the most cruel point of this legal principle to the descendants of the Yan family is to tell the world that the world is in chaos, the princes are torn apart, the ministers lead the beasts to eat people, and the people are commanded, and the fields are eaten, and the thorns are split, and the foundation of the world is opened.

The puppet is also responsible!
