Chapter 163 The Assembly(2/2)
The courtyard was silent for a while. Finally, someone couldn't help asking: "Then what you said, 'He is back'. What does it mean-"
Dai Bingcheng spoke for the first time: "It's the one you think."
Another asked: "So... how are you sure he will come back? We have been waiting for him for five years? If his attitude is not what you expected-"
Dai Bingcheng smiled gently. He turned to the side, revealing the crown prince behind him.
In fact, most people are still confused about the arrival of this "VIP". Because no matter how you look at it, this royal member should not appear in the current occasion.
The young man showed a mysterious smile on his face. He whispered: "I said it. As for how I got this news... you should know that we have a prophet."
"The prophet saw something that would happen in the future years ago, and the prophet told me that the man was not dead. And when he came back, it was when we reappeared before the world."
Of course everyone knows the existence of the mysterious prophet, but no one can think that the crown prince seems to know the true identity of that one.
Of course, more people also smelled some danger from these words they heard tonight.
As former executives, they gathered here, which actually violated the imperial law, which was an illegal aggression. However, Dai Bingcheng and the Crown Prince appeared in front of them in a dignified manner - there were more than a hundred people here, and any one who leaked the situation tonight could cause a significant "earthquake" in Yanjing.
You should know that it is said that the emperor's health is no longer optimistic, and the Prime Minister has been re-elected for four terms due to special wartime regulations. According to imperial laws, even the emperor cannot remove the position of Prime Minister before the state of war was lifted.
In fact, no one can predict how long this "state of war" will last. Maybe it's a few years, decades, or nearly a hundred years - lawmakers never thought that a certain type of species would wake up in this world, nor would they think that one day the empire would be trapped in a quagmire that might not be able to escape for ten years.
So these people realized that they might have participated in something big enough to be recorded in history books.
In fact, some people have been a little prepared.
Any organization will have its own program and ideas, even the underground organization is no exception. If Li Zhen had been in it for the past five years, he would have found that the things that Ying Jianran instilled in these people were exactly what the old man in the Jinghu Villa in Pingyang and the Marquis of Pingyang had instilled in him.
In five years, all those who do not agree, those who do not support, those who are not firmly determined have been eliminated. The ninety people here tonight are the most devout believers.
Therefore, they were even more surprised by the arrival of the crown prince.
The crown prince let out a light breath in the night and said, "Hundreds of years ago, a man named Shen transformed this country."
"And whenever I think about this, I feel panic--especially when I read the subsequent history of the empire."
"Because that thing should be done by a man named Zhu."
"I was not born in such a magnificent era, but I was fortunate to be born in the present moment. So I knew that I could do something, too."
"This country is already terminally ill. However, my surname and the history that this surname carries makes me unable to abandon it or give it up. So, if you are willing to make it better, then we will be like-minded people tonight."
The crown prince slowly raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and placed it on his chest: "For us, and for this empire."
People were silent for more than ten seconds.
After more than ten seconds, more arms were raised, and a low, chaotic, but firm voice sounded in the courtyard-
