After hearing Emperor Wan Yun's words, the Supreme Emperor inside did not speak for a long time.

After a while, he sighed softly, "Third brother, you have been very energetic and have a high nose since you were a child. Many people say that this is the appearance of a king when you see it."

Emperor Wan Yun is indeed a rare good look, handsome and generous, and has no lack of majesty.

"When I succeeded to the throne, the situation in our Great Zhou was not good, even very bad." Emperor Tianyan said: "I still remember that shortly after I ascended the throne, the cavalry of the Daliang Kingdom broke through the western border and almost rushed to our capital. At that time, many people did not say it, but secretly called me the king of the destruction of the country."

Emperor Wan Yun listened with his ears.

Emperor Tianyan continued, "I still remember your aunt, but I am so beloved, it is no less than today's Xiangxiang. But the cavalry of the Daliang Kingdom rushed to the city. What should I do if I want to let others retreat? Let's have a marriage gift and presented a large amount of gold and silver. So your aunt, my favorite sister, Princess Lanxi, married the King of Xiliang at that time, and was just a concubine."

Emperor Wan Yun also remembered that memory. Although he was still young at that time, the days were too deep and he was completely in panic all day long.

"In terms of reputation, can you be worse than me?" Emperor Tianyan said lightly: "I gave my sister and tribute to the Kingdom of Daliang. At that time, everyone laughed at me as the son emperor. It was normal for the Great Zhou to perish in my hands."

This is true. In the few years when he ascended the throne, Emperor Tianyan's reputation was indeed very bad.

The Supreme Emperor said it very clearly, what is the dilemma you are facing now?

"Third brother, you have done nothing bad in the eight years since you ascended the throne, really." The Supreme Emperor said: "Although the battle with Daying Empire was defeated, Ao Xin said that victory and defeat are common. Failure in this battle is not the responsibility of you, the emperor, nor even anyone's responsibility, it is luck..."

"There are also rebellions in the southern border, which are said to be the fault of you, the emperor. Ao Xin, the great archer in the southern border, did a good job, why did he transfer him away? If Ao Xin did not leave, the situation in the southern border would not deteriorate, and there would be no rebellion afterwards." Emperor Tianyan said: "But I understand you. If Ao Xin does not leave, the entire southern border only knows that Ao Xin is not an emperor. The military and political power of the five provinces in the southern border are all behind Ao Xin, and he is indeed a loyal minister. But no emperor will place his hope on one person's loyalty."

"And there was only one Ao Xin in the court. The position of the Southern Protectorate is the same if anyone did it. Zhou Long was quite suitable." Emperor Tianyan said: "Our Great Zhou has been established for hundreds of years. The officialdom is corrupt and complicated, and it is no longer a matter of a day or a night. After all, the power groups here want to eat meat. It is better to eat meat in the remote southern border than to eat meat in the empire's heart, right?"

"As for the anti-corruption and corruption, I was unable to do it when I was in power, let alone how many years have you just ascended the throne?" Emperor Tianyan said: "Only by continuous expansion and development can the corruption of the bureaucratic group be offset, and only interests can drive them to fight for you. So, third brother, you did a good job and there is no sin."

"As for employing people, everyone has different personalities and different fates, so you can't force them." Emperor Tianyan said: "I can't use loyal ministers before, but you use treacherous ministers, and I also use a lot of treacherous ministers."

At this time, Emperor Wan Yun finally couldn't help it, his eyes turned red and his face was shaking.

Emperor Tianyan continued: "When our Great Zhou was just getting up, people said when they saw you that the third prince looked so good. I had at least two generations of heroes in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and said that your achievements would surpass me in the future. You also set ambitions at that time, saying that your father fought against the Southern Barbarians, and you would win the Northern Expedition and achieve the great power of the Great Zhou."

"Speaking of the Crown Prince of the Daxia Empire, he is really good-looking and has an outstanding talent in the world. It is said that his achievements will surpass that of the current Emperor Xia, and it may even be said that he will unify the world. As such, Emperor Xia began to be suspicious, and thus the father and son became more and more suspicious, which eventually led to tragedy." Emperor Tianyan said: "The wise and powerful prince of Daxia was involved in rebellion for no reason and was eventually defeated and died. The Daxia Empire was greatly damaged, and he lost the suppression of the two empires in the south. Only then did we dare to unify the world."

"If the suspicion between the monarch and the ministers is too deep, it will be difficult for the court to remain peaceful. And the suspicion between the emperor and the father and son is the disaster of the court." Emperor Tianyan said: "The Daxia Empire is the lesson of the past, so you, my father and son must not repeat the same mistakes."

Emperor Wan Yun's throat was hoarse and sobbed again.

The Supreme Emperor Tianyan said: "It is said that there is no two masters in heaven, and no people have two days. And in our Great Zhou Empire, there are indeed two saints in heaven. Even if we father and son do not suspect each other, the people in the world think there is suspicion between us. So it is not easy for you, the emperor, and the emperor is not the biggest person, so how can we continue to do it?"

"Third brother, I abdicated not to seek fame, but to be really weak and exhausted at that time, so I should have given the empire to you." The Supreme Emperor continued: "In order not to make people think, I stayed in the Shangqing Palace without going out at all, and I didn't see anyone. But if I want to make you happy and to make you happy, I will die by myself? I really can't do it."

Emperor Wan Yun said in a trembling voice: "Father, stop talking, stop talking. You said this to tear the heart of your son's minister!"

The Supreme Emperor said: "So, don't say anything like returning to power in the future."

Emperor Wan Yun said, "My son is confused and will never say anything that will make the father sad again."

The Supreme Emperor said: "You have done a good job. You must do everything in the future. I will never interfere. There is also the word "United States" and you should not touch it like a taboo. There is no such thing. I heard that Ao Ting compared himself to the Supreme Emperor, and ended up locking up people in prison? Don't do this, don't do this."

"There is also Ning Huaian, the admiral of the capital. Just give me some advice. Don't exaggerate it. You can say that people have rebelled or something. This will easily cause a large prison. Everyone is in danger. What else can you do? What else can you do?"

Emperor Wan Yun said: "The father is wise."

The Supreme Emperor continued: "You will still make the decision on everything in the future. I will never interfere. Even Xiangxiang's marriage will be the one who will make the decision. I am really practicing Taoism and turning a blind eye to the matter outside the window. Anyone who dares to hold the sign of the Supreme Emperor in the future will deal with it directly."

Emperor Wan Yun said: "My son dare not, there is no one in the world who can lack his father."

"I can't live in the world, the sooner the better." The Supreme Emperor said: "I have indeed encountered something when I call you this time. You are the emperor, and you have to make an idea."

Emperor Wan Yun said, "I ask my father to issue an order, and all my sons and ministers will abide by it."

The Supreme Emperor said: "Hou Chen, show it to him."

The ancestor eunuch Hou Chen handed a map to Emperor Wan Yun, the one presented by Yun Zhonghe.

After Emperor Wan Yun looked at it, his eyes slightly twitched, and he recognized the handwriting on the map.

Why do you, Ao Yu, offer it to the Supreme Emperor, not to me?

The old eunuch Hou Chen said: "Young Master Ao Yu predicts that in mid-February, a major earthquake and a tsunami will occur in the Langzhou waters."

Emperor Wan Yun's eyes shrank suddenly.

Of course he knew how important Langzhou was to the empire?

Once a major earthquake or tsunami occurs here, most of the Great Zhou Empire fleets will be destroyed. At that time, they will lose the deterrence to the Shi family of Zhenhai, and most of the maritime trade rights will be lost. All merchant ships will be damaged, and these losses will be more than tens of millions.

To estimate it briefly, once a tsunami really occurs, it will directly lead to a treasury crisis.

What directly affects the fate of the empire, and it is really hurtful.

Moreover, this strategic loss will take decades to make up, but did the Great Zhou Empire have decades? It is completely impossible.

Now the truth is finally revealed. Why did the Supreme Emperor protect Ao Yu and why did he give him a name? Even Ao Yu used the Supreme Emperor to kill Lin Lu and the Supreme Emperor didn't care about it and still took action to save him.

It was because Ao Yu presented this picture that the Supreme Emperor did not do it for Ao Yu, but for the empire.

"Father, but... I have never heard of predicting earthquakes one month in advance." Emperor Wan Yun said.

The Emperor said: "Yes, in history, I have never heard of predicting an earthquake a month in advance. But I am not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of something!"

The emperor also fell into deep thought, because Ao Yu did predict the eruption of the Dari Mountain volcano, and also used it to eliminate the main force of the rebels in the southern border and quell the rebellion from the root. So in this regard, Ao Yu is an authority, and what he said has to be taken seriously.

The situation is very complicated now, if you agree with Ao Yu's guess.

Then hundreds of thousands of people will be evacuated, all trade will be stopped for nearly two months, and all merchant ships and warships will be evacuated.

All important materials must also be transferred.

This requires astronomical manpower and material resources, and the losses are also immeasurable.

If these are transferred and the earthquake and tsunami have not occurred, who will bear this responsibility?

"Father, can you clear this sea area in the name of military exercises?" Emperor Wan Yun asked.

The Supreme Emperor said: "In the name of military exercise, all warships can be removed, or even all merchant ships can be removed. But this name is not enough to evacuate hundreds of thousands of people on the land and all important institutions."

In the past two days, the Supreme Emperor racked his brains to estimate and found that there were as many as hundreds of important institutions to be evacuated.

Shipyards, weaving factories, salt transportation departments, manufacturing bureaus, etc., these institutions are all at the beach.

In the name of military exercises, it is indeed less than enough to withdraw these hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of institutions.

The Supreme Emperor said, "Third brother, I think so. I am old and have been practicing Taoism for many years, so my mind should be foolish. So I used the name of my practice to do this. I dreamed of the sea of ​​Langzhou, where the dragon ascended to heaven, turned upside down, and the sea water poured backwards, so I sent people to the sea of ​​Langzhou to worship the sky, and forcibly forced hundreds of thousands of people to move inward, ordering all warships and merchant ships to stay away. In this way, no major earthquakes and tsunamis occurred in mid-February, and people in the world would only think that my Supreme Emperor was old and stupid. I was old and had already abdicated. I had saved a lot of achievements before, so I could still bear this infamy, as long as you, the emperor, were wise."

As soon as these words were said, Emperor Wan Yun burst into tears and shouted: "What are you saying? How can you bear the infather's reputation if you are dedicated to the country? Then you might as well kill me immediately. If you are so unfaithful and unfilial, what kind of face do I have to inherit your throne? Even if you have any infamy, my son and my father will bear it together!"

Then, Emperor Wan Yun said, "Father, the one who goes to Langzhou to do this must be a prince. What is your will?"

The Supreme Emperor said: "I have said that you are the emperor, and everything is up to you. This is the matter that you call you here today. If you want to discuss with the cabinet and the Privy Council, you must hurry up. What should you do? You are the one who is the one who is arbitrary, but be quick. You just need to remember that you are willing to bear any honorary consequences for this matter for your father!"

Emperor Wan Yun was immediately moved and cried: "My son is afraid, but his son is unfilial!"

The Supreme Emperor said: "Go, go!"

Emperor Wan Yun bowed again and said in tears: "Father, please let me take a look, okay? I haven't seen my father for eight years. I really feel so worried."

The Supreme Emperor said: "No need to see you. I am already a foreigner. Let us be more thorough."

Emperor Wan Yun bowed again: "The minister has said goodbye. If I have any decision on this matter, I will come to report it and the father will decide."

"No, the country is yours, and the throne is yours, so you will make any decision yourself." The Supreme Emperor said firmly.

Emperor Wan Yun was reluctant to part with him and said goodbye again. When he left Shangqing Palace, his tone slowly spit out in his heart.

…………………………

In the eyes of everyone, Emperor Wan Yun left Shangqing Palace, and his eyes were red, and he obviously had cried.

Everyone was nervous. What happened?

His Majesty the Emperor was scolded?

After returning to the palace, Emperor Wan Yun issued an order to summon the ministers of the cabinet, the ministers of the Privy Council, the chief officials of the six ministries, and the Imperial Heavenly Department.

This decree is shocking. It can be as good as the Little Dynasty Meeting at this scale, but why is there no Censorate?

And what is the Imperial Heavenly Secret? The yamen that is so remote that they can't speak, and no small dynasty will have their place.

However, when summoning these ministers, Emperor Wan Yun first issued an order to let Hei Bingtai bring Ao Yu into the palace!

……………………………………

In the study, Emperor Wan Yun stared at Ao Yu, his eyes blew fire.

"Ao Yu, Ao Yu, why don't you hand over your map to me, but to the Supreme Emperor?" Emperor Wan Yun said angrily: "The Supreme Emperor is practicing Taoism, why do you want to disturb him from peace? This matter is a huge responsibility. Now you have dragged the Supreme Emperor into the water. The Supreme Emperor is dedicated to the country and me, so he is willing to give this matter a lifetime reputation."

"I tell you Ao Yu, my reputation is nothing. But if the reputation of the Supreme Emperor is damaged, even if you are slow to scatter a hundred times, it will be useless."

"Why did you drag the Supreme Emperor into the water? Isn't it okay to hand over this huge responsibility to me? Isn't it good?"

"If you hand over this matter to me, if things change drastically in the future, there will be a Supreme Emperor behind me and the empire will have room for retreat. But you dragged the Supreme Emperor into the water and now there is no room for nothing. If you do this, you will put me in a state of disloyalty and unfilial piety."

The emperor scolded Ao Yu for a full quarter of an hour, roared for a full quarter of an hour, and drank half a pot of tea.

Finally finished scolding.

The emperor's voice eased again, and he said, "Since things have reached this point, it will be meaningless even if you are cut into pieces. Let's... overcome this problem together!"

"But Ao Yu, you want to tell me the truth. Is your judgment correct? Will there really be a major earthquake or a tsunami in the Langzhou waters?" the emperor asked.

Yun Zhonghe said: "I have calculated it many times. If I have calculated it without any errors, it should have happened."
