Chapter 148: A Single Body
too."Moonlight bathed the water surface as the two walked along. The Green Willow River, a tributary of the clear Qingjiang River, finally merged with it here.“Speaking of which, what about the equal...The most important thing for a country's ruler is authority.

Everybody makes mistakes, the sovereign never does. Everyone can be guilty, but the sovereign cannot be guilty.
Holding absolute power, high above all, how could there be guilt Who could judge
Even if one commits crimes throughout the land, how can one possibly blame the sovereign
Throughout history, whenever a sovereign is put on trial, it is always after they have already lost power.
Those insincere "self-incrimination edicts" are really nothing to talk about. They're just self-deception and self-punishment.
But today, Yang Xuanji is forcing Yang Jiande to acknowledge his crimes, which are far from the simple excuse of "my virtue is lacking."
To discard the calendar and abandon writing, these two charges, placed on any ruler, would not be a trivial matter. They would be written into history books and branded as a disgrace on the pillar of shame!
In the Yang Kingdom, where calendars and written language were gradually fading away, this had always been a taboo subject. No one dared to speak of it, nor could anyone bear the responsibility.
This is a test.
Many people feel that perhaps responsibility will only be determined when Yang Jiande's time comes, and it will be imposed on him by later generations.
Therefore, at this time, above the Yangting Hall, Yang Jiande directly admitted that this was his responsibility, which left many people stunned and surprised on the spot.

Especially Prince Yang Xuanji of the Yang dynasty, he had prepared many pieces of evidence and backup plans, all aimed at getting Yang Jiande to "confess". He believed himself to be well-prepared, with a foolproof plan.
But Yang Jiande immediately "confessed" and found himself in a rather helpless predicament.
However, he was a seasoned veteran after all and quickly recovered, continuing, "So..."
Yang Jiande interrupted him: "So should I strip naked, bind myself, and kneel to surrender to the enemy army Comforting the king of Qi and appeasing the common people"

Even though Yang Guo was the prince and known for his cunning, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed at this moment.
>
No matter what, whether he is a subject or a son, this is something he shouldn't say.
But if it were not for the current situation, he would not have done this.
“This, that...” Yang Xuanji stuttered, quickly organizing his words in his mind: “At this time of national crisis and impending doom, the ruler should bear the responsibility.”
Then, after you ascend the throne, what will you do" Yang Jiande asked from his position on the dragon chair, pressing closer. "Will you directly lead your army into the Q palace"
The prince was destined to be the future ruler of the country. Yang Xuanji had been in power for many years, although his reputation wasn't spotless, there was no need for him to act recklessly and deny it.
When Jiande saw the question, he replied directly: "After I ascend the throne, I will never forget today's hatred. I will definitely work hard to govern the country well. Internally, I will strengthen national governance; externally, I will fortify our neighbors. I will use the country's full strength to train the army and forge alliances with Jin and Mu. In preparation for the future...I will certainly avenge this national humiliation!"
He was speaking eloquently on his side.
But Yang Jiande over there simply asked: "What if Qi State refuses What if I, as a prisoner, beg for forgiveness and Qi State still won't allow the Yang family ancestral temple What will you do then"
"The grand army of Qi State has laid siege to our borders, nothing more than fearing the spread of the plague after a change. I only need to control the plague, and this siege will naturally lift itself. As a loyal subject of Qi State for many years, my Yang family has always been obedient and offered tribute without fail. If Duke Qi dares to disrespect our Yang family ancestral temple, does he not fear the criticism of the world"
Yang Xuanji spoke eloquently and confidently, or perhaps he had to appear confident, projecting the air of someone capable of shouldering the weight of the nation. This was necessary to prevent the wavering of those who supported him.
"Nor do I ask you where your confidence in controlling the Mutant Plague comes from." Yang Jiande almost smiled, but for a moment he didn't know where to start laughing, and it really wasn't appropriate to laugh. He simply asked: "Do you really think that Chong Xuan Chuliang brought the Qiu Sha Army here just to stop the plague from spreading to Qi"
>
"If it's just this matter, a single battalion and two squads of men would be enough to guard the border! Could it be that there are no valiant warriors in our Yang Kingdom daring enough to pluck the whiskers of the Qi people's tiger " He patted the armrest of the dragon throne again and again: "Is it necessary to mobilize an army of nine thousand soldiers, is it necessary to use fierce slaughter as a weapon Tell me, who is this fierce slaughter Go and look at the lost land in Daxia, ask those souls!"
"How vicious is he! Can't a villain be reasoned with Doesn't a villain have any weaknesses Father! Don't lose your courage! This isn't thirty years ago, Chong Xuan and Zhu Liang are old!" Yang Xuan angrily said: "There are many ways to deal with him!"
He could have smoothly taken over the reins of power, calmly and effortlessly realizing his ambitions. But in a single night, everything changed dramatically, with upheaval and chaos all around. The esteemed position that was within his grasp became a mess, leaving him agitated, furious, and deeply unsettled—on the brink of complete collapse!

To recover quickly, make a decisive decision, and rally the ministers to plead with Yang Jiande to convene a court meeting, then force his way into the palace... this is truly a rare display of cunning.
But even so, in the face of Yang Jiande's coldly peeled cruelty truth, his will still wavered.
He was angry.
His anger wasn't due to hatred, nor because of injustice, but stemmed from unease. It was because he sensed danger, realizing his own powerlessness.
He roared in this grand hall, as if such a display proved his utter disregard for Master Xuan Chu. "The might of the state of Yuanyang, can't it move this old man's heart Whatever he wants, I will give it to him! Smash it all for him, until he feels pain! If that doesn't work, then have him assassinated! And if that fails, I will cede land to King Qi! A province, a city, even a county! Just for a single chance to retreat our troops. Is that impossible As long as you give me time… just give me time!"
"Ceding territory to seek peace" Yang Jiande interrupted his surging emotions again, "Is this your true intention"
He sneered: "But you want me to go Want this traitorous king, who brought ruin to the country, to bear the shame of ceding land once again"
"The situation is such that ceding land is merely a temporary solution. We can just as well cede the county of Rizhao, along with this unusual plague. After all, with the vastness of the Qi state, there are always ways to manage it. And our Yang state, light and nimble, can advance rapidly!" Yang Xuanji's voice softened, taking on a near-cruel calmness: "Father, for the sake of the ancestral temple. The Yang state has already produced one incompetent ruler, we cannot have another. Otherwise, the people's hearts will be completely lost. Therefore, ceding land naturally falls to you."
Yang Jiande, surprisingly, did not fly into a rage. Instead, he calmly asked, "And then"
“Although painful, only by removing the festering wound can one recover health! With both internal and external threats gone, I, Yang Guozhong, have the support of the people and soldiers, know shame and courage, and with that, what is there to fear about failing in our great undertaking”
Yang Xuanji became more and more excited as he spoke, his voice filled with passion. He pointed at the landscape, waving his arms grandly: “Ten years! Just give me ten years, and I will surely recover the lost mountains and rivers for you!”
All the officials and ministers in attendance were silent. No one dared to interrupt the conversation between Yang's father and son.
But Yang Xuanji's displayed bravery, confidence, and even ruthless coldness gave many who were lost their way a sense of faith.
Let them see a glimmer of light, as if this turbulent nation of Yanguo still holds hope.
As long as the former master confesses, cedes land, and seeks peace with shame.
With the new ruler in place, soldiers and civilians united as one, sharing a common enemy... They seemed to see from that faint glimmer of hope, the possibility of national resurgence.
Dreaming back to when Hengcheng was still called Tianxiong City!
However...
This is the translated text:
Yang Jiande sat on the dragon throne, casting such a heavy shadow.
In simple terms, it's about enduring hardship and putting up with humiliation
The twenty-seventh emperor of the Yang Kingdom asked thus:
"Isn't that exactly what your father has been doing, and has done for so many years!"
"It's truly disappointing to me!"
Here are a few possibilities, depending on what you meant by "the content":**Option 1: If the "" were just placeholders:**
Let me know if you had something else in mind!
The King of Yangguo rose from his dragon throne: "In the past, I entrusted you with governing the country. You handled all state affairs yourself! Today, you bring me to this court, is it to make me responsible for the destruction of the nation"
"Yang Xuanji!"
He pointed accusingly at the son standing opposite him and the Emperor, "You don't even have the courage to shoulder the name of a traitor to your country. What do you know about shame and redemption What right do you have to speak of avenging our nation"
Yang Xuan's heart was shaken, and he didn't know what to say in defense.
But Yang Jiande had already made a big decision and put it down.
>
In the blink of an eye, heaven and earth reversed. Like endless blood, it engulfed Yang Xuanji in an instant, then retracted into the palm.
His cultivation had never slackened, he was Yang Xuanji, a powerful inner palace realm expert, yet he couldn't even withstand a single move before being crushed with a flip of his opponent's hand!
... vanished from the court, before all the ministers in attendance at the Imperial Court.
Yang Xuanji's loyal followers and confidants had already prepared for a forceful palace seizure, but they hadn't anticipated that before they could act, the Crown Prince was gone!
"Your Highness!" Yang Xuanji's most trusted general rushed to where his flesh and blood had vanished, screaming toward the dragon throne: "You treacherous king who brings ruin to the nation!"
But only halfway through his run, he was beheaded by Liu Huai. His headless body lay in vain before the Imperial Gate.
Liu Huai carried the head, lightly turned back, and respectfully said, "This man conspired to rebel and assassinate Your Majesty. I request that his nine clans be exterminated!"
"Enough." Yang Xuan waved his hand indifferently.

"The Blood Demon Scripture that extinguishes love and desire!" At this moment, an old minister remembered the past and was filled with indignation: "Your Majesty, you... how can you learn such a demonic art"
The
Miez Qing Jue Yu Xue Mo Dian, it is said to be one of the magic skills personally created by the ancestor of the demon way.
The most cruel aspect of this skill is that in order to achieve perfection, it requires devouring one's blood relatives. It perfectly lives up to its name; it is a true technique of extinguishing emotions and desires.
This old minister has only seen a description of this ceremony from ancient texts.
Martial arts magic is called "magic" because it is mostly cruel, goes against human ethics, and is despised by the world.
At this time, Yang Jiande stood idly before the dragon throne, his face surrounded by a layer of bloodshot. "You bunch of drunkards and gluttons, you can't even help your own king to maintain the state. Just stop giving me advice."
>
"Liu Huai," he ordered softly, "summon all of my princes and princesses to the palace."
Liu Huai's heart trembled. Of course, he knew what Yang Jiande meant by this command. It was a final, absolute decree to eliminate his descendants and complete the demonic cultivation.
But since the emperor had made up his mind, he could only obey and depart.
For a moment, all the officials in the great hall knelt on the ground. There were no shouts or insults, only sobs and pleas for the lord to awaken.
"Cry from day to night, and cry from night to day, crying oneself to death like old ginger"
Yang Jiande angrily swept his sleeves and left.
"You bunch of trash, shut your mouths!"
Though all the officials knelt in the grand hall, Yang Jiande stood on the imperial platform, his hair flying in the wind, his dragon robe billowing, yet he gave off an unusually lonely feeling.
