Chapter 50: 【Glory and Shame】

The core of the empire, the heart of the empire-the palace. Built more than 400 years ago when the empire was founded, the entire building was made of the strongest giant granite stone transported from the north. In the hundreds of years of the empire’s history, how many winds, rains and wars have gone through here, Roddy has Can't remember one by one.
In the forty-nine years of the empire, the war between the empire and the northern Roland continent was once in crisis. The capital was also broken by the enemy. The palace built of granite stone became the last military stronghold of the empire. The 200,000 troops of China fought bloodily for 17 days under the tall walls of the palace. Finally, under the rescue of one hundred thousand border guards led by the third-generation duke of the Tulip family, they repelled the enemy and defended the palace.
In the 109th year of the empire, civil strife broke out in the empire. The emperor at that time was killed by the imperial courtiers, and the imperial courtiers set up a child of the imperial family as puppets and took control of the imperial capital. Later, the sixth-generation duke of the Tulip family escaped alone. In the imperial capital, fifteen days later, he returned to the imperial capital with nine thousand men and horses. After six days of battles, he broke through the walls of the imperial capital. Then he fought 20,000 rebels under the imperial city for two days and two nights. The Duke Tulip personally killed the rebel general Dibi. Si, then took thousands of troops into the imperial city and wiped out the rebels. During that battle, blood ran into a river in the palace, and the water from the river stained the moat red. It took half a month to restore its original color.
In the two hundred and nine years of the empire, the most outstanding emperor in the history of the empire, Abbas the Great, passed through fierce court civil strife and waited for the throne. Abbas was the greatest emperor in the empire for four hundred years, but when he became the throne , Is also the emperor who killed the most people. Abbas received the support of the Tulip family and slaughtered more than a thousand ministers and royal opposition forces who opposed him, including his brother and uncle. One hundred years later, the palace experienced a baptism again. That night, the whole emperor was filled with screams and smells. After a heavy rain, the entire imperial capital was stained with a terrible crimson...
During the thirty years of his reign, the Abbasid Emperor established the most powerful Central Cavalry Corps in the empire, which is also known as the mainland’s "Thunder God's Whip" Legion. Under the leadership of Abbasid the Great, in Tulip Under the command of the outstanding marshal of the family, that legion swept across the entire continent, but received unprecedented resistance in the northwestern grasslands of the mainland. The powerful nomadic alien races in the grasslands refused to be ruled by the empire, and Abbas the Great implemented the most Iron-blooded powerful means-"In all places on the mainland, where the sun can shine, the laws and will of the imperial power must be respected! Those who obey will be granted favors, and those who disobey will be punished mercilessly!" Finally, the imperial army of Marshal Tulip Massacre a whole 60,000 alien army, and captured the alien patriarch Khalifa alive, and the alien patriarch was ordered to death by hundreds of cavalry in the square of the imperial capital by Abbas the Great. After that, all the continents were finally unified into the territory of the empire, forming a situation of confrontation between the north and the south of the Roland continent in the north. It was also in this era that the great sage Dan Dong was born, and he became the most powerful assistant to Emperor Abbas. He single-handedly planned a series of reforms of the empire, giving the empire an unprecedented vitality. It was in this palace that Abbasid the Great officially announced that the empire was renamed the Guangming Dynasty, and the name of the Guangming Empire resounded throughout the continent.
And just 23 years ago, the imperial palace once again experienced an important moment-the empire that had been unified for more than a hundred years suffered unprecedented failure and shame. The foreign races on the grasslands of the Northwest again raised their flags and announced their separation from the empire. The kingdom was formally established, and the commander of the Tulip family of that generation died unexpectedly before the war. In the end, the great Central Cavalry Regiment was defeated in several battles with the Iron Cavalry Army of the Great Moon Kingdom. After the defeat, the Empire had to admit the Great Moon. The independence of the kingdom. In the hall where Abbasid the Great established the Guangming Dynasty in the imperial palace, the empire and the Great Moon Kingdom signed the official credential documents, and the unified continent was split again.
Roddy was sitting in the carriage, looking at the palace complex in the distance from the window from time to time, thinking about the things he had seen from the history books. He didn't know what his fate would be when he entered the palace.
Just watching the night fall gradually and the buildings of the palace in the distance gradually approached, Roddy felt a strange feeling in his heart.
This is the heart of the empire!
The sixty-li-long city wall surrounding the imperial palace is all made of huge rocks. The height and thickness are the same as the imperial capital city wall, and it may be more surprising than the imperial capital city wall in terms of strength. Standing on the city wall and wearing golden armor, the Royal Guards stood solemnly with spears in their hands, and the bright and huge flag of thorns fluttered in the evening breeze. This imperial city, which was originally built in a hurry in the flames of war, has been extensively repaired by successive emperors in hundreds of years of history, giving the palace, which was originally a castle, a gorgeous and noble coat. The original heavy iron gate has been replaced with a golden gate symbolizing royal dignity.
When the carriage drove into the gate of the palace, Roddy could not help but secretly figured out that a layer of platinum wrapped on the huge iron gate could provide food and clothing for many civilians for many years...
Under the leadership of the Royal Guards, the carriage drove directly to the gate of the inner city of the palace. At this time, Roddy had to get off the carriage. Horses and cars are not allowed in the inner city-except for His Majesty the Emperor.
Led by twelve fully armed guards, before Roddy came to a hall, the heavy iron wooden door had been opened, and Roddy walked into the hall slowly under the sign of Gordon.
The hall supported by sixteen huge pillars looked solemn and solemn, and the huge buttery candle, as high as one person, illuminated the hall as if it were under daylight. Roddy’s boots stepped on the floor and made the sound of "Owl". Roddy realized that all the floors here were made of metal. On both sides of the hall stood a row of samurai all wrapped in armor, none of them showed only a pair of eyes, holding a long battle axe, and looking straight ahead, not looking at Roddy at all.
"Huh... metal, this palace really looks like a legend... like a cage" Roddy couldn't help but secretly thought.
Gordon pointed to the door at the end of the main hall, and whispered: "Your Majesty is waiting for you there." After hesitating, he said again: "Master Set, please give me your sword."
Roddy knew he couldn't refuse, so he had to hand the "light-focusing sword" to Gordon. Gordon nodded, handed the sword to a guard, and then took Roddy back.
The two warriors at the gate interrogated Gordon carefully, and then after Gordon handed over the token, Roddy was allowed in.
As the flashing giant door slowly opened, Roddy immediately felt a bit of chill.
This is the side hall behind a hall and the true core of the empire. It is said that some of the most important decisions in the history of the empire were made by the emperor and the ministers in this place.
At this moment, the side hall was empty, and a strange relief on the ceiling of the side hall exuded a soft and cold light-Roddy knew that this was a lighting system created by a light technique. There is no decoration or furnishings in the hall. There is only a huge long platform in the empty hall. At the end of the platform, a long and thin figure stands quietly.
He was wearing a long white silk robe, leaving only a long black hair lightly tied behind his head, and a thin face looked abnormally white, as if there was no blood. Only a pair of eyes, like two bright gems, looked at Roddy carefully. Although this person just stood there quietly, but Roddy felt an invisible huge pressure.
He immediately lowered his head, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Tulip Family Set-Rudolph, see your Majesty the Emperor!"
The white robe in the distance didn't seem to move at all, the man just nodded slightly, but didn't mean to make Roddy stand up.
The contemporary emperor of the Guangming Dynasty looked at Roddy so quietly, as if he wanted to see him through. Roddy didn't know how long he had been kneeling. He only felt that the cold sweat came out on his back before he heard a clear voice passing lightly.
"Site! I happen to have a problem, I hope you can solve it for me!"
