The Suzaku Empire was now in chaos. A large number of troops began to approach the border, exerting pressure from eight directions, like eight sharp knives aimed at the Suzaku Empire.
The war was about to break out, and the people of the Suzaku Empire, who had not fought in hundreds of thousands of years, suddenly fell into fear.
Countless people began to flee the city. In the panic, all kinds of negative news flew around, especially some scholars who wrote articles, secretly adding fuel to the fire and spreading a lot of false news.
It is said that a war has begun somewhere, and the Suzaku army is littered with corpses. It is no match for others. Soon this place will be covered by the flames of war, and everyone will be dead by then.
Someone even wrote "So-and-so's Diary", which was full of rumors that smeared the Suzaku Empire, and was spread vigorously under the instigation of certain people, deliberately inciting people's dissatisfaction with the Suzaku Empire and disturbing people's hearts.
He also called on these people to start protesting against the Suzaku Empire, and at the same time welcomed external forces to inform the Suzaku Empire so that they could live a good life.
The armies of the eight empires have not really taken action, and the empire is already in chaos and people are panicking.
The sky above the Suzaku Imperial Capital was also covered with a layer of dark clouds. The tense atmosphere made this bustling city begin to become deserted. The streets were full of patrolling soldiers, and the entire city entered a state of martial law.
Now that the Suzaku Empire is in crisis, it has begun conscription for the entire country, and the treatment is extremely generous.
However, when the eight empires join forces to deal with the Suzaku Empire, this is a battle with huge disparity in levels and cannot be won at all.
More importantly, before taking action, the people of the Suzaku Empire were already in chaos. That time Long Chen bloodbathed the Confucius Institute and killed a large number of scholars.
Nowadays, this behavior is regarded as a tyranny to eliminate dissidents, because the scholars know too many shortcomings of the Suzaku Empire, and the Suzaku Empire wants to kill them and silence them.
In short, all kinds of rumors are extremely detrimental to the Suzaku Empire, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. When people's hearts are in chaos, they are like a piece of loose sand.
In the main hall of the imperial palace, Yu Xiaoyun was sitting on top of the main hall, his face gloomy and his murderous intent shocking. All the ministers in the main hall did not dare to speak.
"Everyone has really eaten too much and can't even fight. If someone scares them, they will end up in such a mess, which is embarrassing to Suzaku." Yu Xiaoyun roared angrily.
All the civil and military officials present were so frightened that they did not dare to say a word. They all knew that the emperor was furious at this time and no one dared to touch him.
"Our Suzaku Empire is full of talents, prosperous in culture and military affairs, and has reached unprecedented glory. Why do you think it is so unbearable?" Yu Xiaoyun said angrily.
Yu Xiaoyun glanced at all the civil and military officials, as well as all the princes and princesses, but no one dared to answer, and the entire hall was so quiet that one could hear the drop of a needle.
"Yunwen, as the eldest prince, how come the empire has fallen to this point?" Yu Xiaoyun shouted coldly.
If Long Chen and others were here, they would be surprised to find that the eldest prince, Yu Qingxuan, Zhu Yifeng, Yu Qianxue and other princes and princesses are all in the main hall.
When that "Zhu Yunwen" asked him, he could only stand up and gritted his teeth and said:
"This is the inevitable result of emphasizing culture over martial arts. In times of peace and prosperity, singing and dancing have made peace, and warriors have no place to use their skills.
With the prevailing literary style, warriors are suppressed. Warriors have sacrificed their lives for hundreds of years to practice hard, but they are not as high as others who have spent several years in poverty to gain fame. Why don't you write in your own hand: Everything is inferior, only studying is high?
Now that the war is coming, you cannot prepare for a rainy day. You have no troops to use, but you blame us. It is really not the behavior of a wise king."
"Zhu Yunwen" said this, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed, and they looked at the eldest prince in disbelief.
"presumptuous"
Sure enough, Yu Xiaoyun was furious: "How dare you speak to me like this? Are you blaming me for being blind and reaping the consequences?"
Facing the furious Yu Xiaoyun, Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth and said loudly as if he was risking his life:
"Yun Wen did not dare to offend Tian Yan, but in the peaceful and prosperous times, extravagance was common, and warriors were not welcome, but scholars were able to win royal praise through flattery and praise.
Warriors have no use for their skills and are naturally looked down upon. They have been divided into three, six or nine levels. Who doesn't want to be respected and climb higher?
Warriors are warriors, writers are writers, and you want us to be both civil and martial. Long Chen said that studying literature is to reason with others, and practicing martial arts is to let others reason with us.
Now that we have practiced martial arts, why do we still need to learn any principles? It wastes a lot of time, and at the same time, it also reveals the vigor and domineering spirit that a martial artist should have.
Nowadays, the literary style is prevalent. Everyone lacks the will and determination to fight to the death. They are weak and dare not fight against others. Who can you blame?
The fearless true/tough man on the battlefield, the useless scholar, those scholars love to reason so much, why don't you ask them to reason with the eight empires?"
"Bastard, come here, lock this traitor into a small dark room and he won't be allowed to come out for ten days." Yu Xiaoyun was so angry that he was trembling all over and shouted sharply.
"Father, you must not..."
The princes, princesses and ministers screamed that no one in the ten-day dark room except Long Chen could hold on. This would be no different from killing him.
"His Majesty……"
Even the two queens couldn't stand it anymore.
"No one can say anything for five days, otherwise they will be locked up together." Yu Xiaoyun seemed to think that ten days was too many, but punishment was indispensable, and he had to be punished severely.
"Retreat from the DPRK"
After Yu Xiaoyun finished speaking, he stood up with a gloomy face, waved his sleeves and left.
The two queens hurriedly followed, and the other ministers, princes and princesses retreated without saying a word. Not only was the empire in chaos, but the imperial city was also in chaos.
Yu Xiaoyun, Jiang Huixin and Xu Lanxin came to the Suzaku Trial Gate. At this time, Yu Xiaoyun looked relaxed. How could he still look angry just now?
It turns out that everything in the main hall is an act, creating a depressing atmosphere, and among the ministers in the main hall, there are enemies' eyes and ears, and everything is done for others to see.
The eldest prince, Yu Qingxuan and others in the main hall were all impersonated by special people. When Long Chen and others entered the Suzaku Trial, it was all confidential.
"They have reached the sixth level. It is obvious that they already know the situation of the empire and are working hard." Jiang Huixin looked at the divine map on the door and said.
"We can only try to delay as much time as possible. This is a powerful trial that we have never seen before, and we don't know if they can rush through it." Xu Lanxin said with some worry.
"Don't worry, with that bastard here, there will definitely be no problem." Yu Xiaoyun said.
"Brother Xiaoyun, are you so confident in Long Chen?" Xu Lanxin said in surprise.
"I don't have confidence in him, but I have confidence in the way of heaven." Yu Xiaoyun said.
"How to say?"
"Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years. This kid is a disaster, and his life will never be short." Yu Xiaoyun said angrily.
