Episode 32 The Dust Settles Chapter 4 Monarchs and Ministers Are Suspicious

Li Qing and Zi Chuanning glanced at each other. There was a sly, smug glint in the eyes of the two girls. Zi Chuanxiu didn't know what he meant, but he faintly felt like he was falling into a trap

Li Qing smiled and said: "Originally, everyone was still worried that the adults were unwilling to attack the traitors because they missed the old feelings, but the lower officials felt it. This is really a decisive plan for no reason, with Hidekawa-sama's loyalty to the family. There is also the friendship between the adult and the late husband, no matter what you say, the adult did not have a soft heart for Di Lin, it was everyone who misunderstood the adult. ”

Zichuan Xiu laughed dryly twice, but he was angry in his heart, where did "everyone" come from, and who was "everyone". Isn't it all Li Qing who is self-directing and talking there? It's loyalty and righteousness. It's friendship with Sterling again. It's nothing more than hard and soft. I hope he doesn't show mercy to Di Lin's men.

But what was their idea? The soldiers and horses of the Far East are controlled by themselves, although they are the commander-in-chief. But without his own warrant, Zi Chuanning couldn't even send a cooking soldier, and his heart lit up, Zi Chuanxiu faintly guessed Li Qingdi's idea: Although Zi Chuanning couldn't transfer the soldiers and horses of the Far East, there were governors by her side!

To fight against the Supervision Department in its heyday, the governors don't have the guts, but if they chase the water dogs, in order to curry favor with Zi Chuanning. There are still many people who are willing to make a move, and under the banner of avenging the former chief, they have agreed in front of Li Qing and Zi Chuanning. There's no way to go back on blocking it—that's the idea. It must have been made by Li Qing!

In the blink of an eye, Zichuan Xiu had already made up his mind, and tomorrow he would start to rectify and review the troops and horses, and leave the rebel armies in all provinces in Bartley for reorganization. I don't have my own warrant. Not a single squadron can be transferred out of the province, see what else Li Qing can do!

Figured out this section. He smiled brightly at Li Qing.

Li Qing gave him an equally affectionate smile back.

The two sides looked at each other, smiled affectionately, and held the victory, like two foxes that had just caught chickens.

Zi Chuanning, who was looking at the ground from the side, looked confused: "Brother Axiu, Sister Qing, you two ...... Why are you laughing so weirdly?"

"Oh. Isn't it weird?"

The two restrained their smiles, and then chatted a few words without a smile. Li Qing first got up and said goodbye: "It's late at night. Don't dare to delay the rest of the adults anymore. Let's take our leave. Originally, this sentence should have been put forward by the host and guest. But Zichuan Ning was only resigned. Li Qing is in charge of everything, and when she says it, everyone doesn't feel very abrupt.

Zi Chuan Xiu sent the two to the camp gate, and Zi Chuan Ning went out first. Li Qing took a step slower and approached Zi Chuanxiu's side. whispered: "Ah Xiu, the rebellion has been decided, and the world is about to be stable." You should also think about when to propose to His Highness Ning. ”

"Huh?" Zichuan Xiu was stunned for a moment and stopped: "I'...... Propose marriage to His Highness Ning?"

"It's nature. Ah Xiu, you have made such a great contribution. Reinvent the family. Naturally, he is qualified to be the husband of His Highness. "I was stunned when I saw Zichuan Xiu. Li Qing only regarded him as inferior. comforted: "The two of you are childhood sweethearts. I know Your Highness's intentions. Now that you are all young, you should not have any worries. Just rest assured. If you're embarrassed - Ah Xiu, Sterling went early. As the saying goes, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and I can handle the affairs of the marriage on your behalf.

"Alas, when Sterling was alive, he always lamented the pity for you and your highness. Now the two of you can be together. He ......" said, Li Qing shook his head. The circles under his eyes were slightly red: "Don't talk about it, you just need to know this matter in your heart." ”

Shikawa Shu was silent. Although Li Qing said it tactfully. But the meaning of the words is not spoken. Shikawa Xiu contributed to the family this time. It's because he covets the power of the president's territory and the beauty of Zichuan Ningdi - otherwise. Why should he fight with his brothers?

Seeing off Zi Chuanning and Li Qing, Zi Chuanxiu stood alone at the gate of the camp. Look out at the starry sky in the distance. With a lot of thoughts, he didn't feel guilty about the crusade against Di Lin. Di Lin killed the king and killed his brother, he had trampled on the bottom line of being a man, he fought with conscience and justice, even the defeated Di Lin couldn't resent himself, but at the moment of reaching the goal, he felt a burst of emptiness and loss. I regretted it a little.

In the days that followed, Shikawa Xiu was busy reorganizing the rebels and pacifying the governors. Although many of the rebels have dispersed, there are still 120,000 people left behind to be reorganized. Most of them were the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary expedition of the original family, as well as the officers and soldiers of the provincial garrisons attached to Dilin. It is not a descendant of the Ombudsman. I feel that my sin is not deep. So I dared to stay and wait and see.

There are more than 100,000 mouths for eating. The logistical pressure on the Far Eastern Army increased dramatically, just as it came to take over the rebel camps. The Far Eastern Army also took over the rebels' granaries and supply battalions, so there was no major mess in the supply of grain and grass. In order to supply Zhang Luo, Lin Bing and Ming Yu were all out of the way, squeezing the governors of the provinces to ask for food and money, the amount was huge, and the ruthlessness of the means was simply unprecedented-Lin Bing and Ming Yu completely offended the southeastern provinces this time. Lin Bing said: "When I pass by in the future, I have to secretly disguise myself to hurry." Otherwise, they will definitely be intercepted and thrown into the wilderness. ”

The governors and governors wept without tears. came to Zi Chuanning and Zi Chuanxiu to cry.

Zi Chuanning was a conscientious person who was very sympathetic and accompanied the governors to wipe their tears. Then tell them: "No way, military affairs are more important than everything." Your province should overcome it again. ”

Zichuan Xiu simply hid in the camp of the original rebels. Only a handful of his cronies knew where he was. The governors couldn't find him with the wolf dogs, and Lin Bing and Ming Yu shouted and shouted to kill and ask for money and grain. He wasn't easy, either. He was busy meeting with the rebel officers who had surrendered, most of them were former expeditionary force officers, and a few were officers of the Supervision Department.

It has been proposed a long time ago. Soldiers are just officers, officers are state officials, but they easily succumb to the rebels and serve the rebels. Officers who surrender must be severely punished, and all officers who are above the small flag of rebellion must be punished. A third were executed by lot. The rest were sent to prison to serve life sentences as a warning to future generations.

Lin Bing said sarcastically: "What a genius idea! Warn of future generations? Do you warn everyone not to trust the family in the future?"

At the time, few people realized the importance of skilled professional officers to an army. Experienced and meritorious professional officers are not only the backbone of the army, but also their soul and spirit. It is necessary to train a capable and sophisticated professional officer, starting with a soldier. It takes ten years of time and commitment. Soldiers can be re-recruited and trained at any time. But if it loses thousands of career officers, it will take a generation to make up for the loss of the Zichuan Army.

Luckily. The Commander of the Far East was one of the few people who understood, and he also started from the army, knowing that the low-ranking military attachés could not help themselves and never rebelled. It's not that they can call the shots themselves, and the military orders are like a mountain. Even the sword mountain and the sea of fire have to move forward, and it is Di Lin and this military system that is guilty, and the officers are just tools, and there is not much fault. So. For the officers who came and returned, he took a mild approach to pacify.

"It's not your fault that you're going down the wrong path. Military orders are issued by the superiors, and you follow them, even if they are wrong. The wrong place is also the person who issued the military order. And not the one who performs. However, you should also know that when there is a conflict between military orders, the subordinate military orders should obey the military orders of the superiors, and the orders of the head of the family are naturally the highest. After His Highness Ning issued the proclamation of rebellion, you remained among the rebels. That's not right. Nature will be punished—and naturally, I know that you have a hard time. Fleeing the rebels is risking capture. But you are not an ordinary profession, you are officers, and soldiers are born to shed blood for the country. Fear of life is not a reason for you to serve the rebels.

"Of course, the family has a generous heart. I want to leave the ground. Needless to say. We come and go freely. Farewell to leave; If you are still willing to continue to serve the family, I also welcome you back to the team on behalf of the family.

"Life is rough. How can a person not make mistakes in his life? Just get up and keep going! Let's stop tossing ourselves, the battle is over, and it's hard to survive. Let's live in peace. ”

Zichuan spoke sensibly and reasonably. There are not only serious laws and military orders, but also considerate human feelings. The officers had been terrified in their hearts since the beginning of the rebellion, fearing that Di Lin would attack them. I was afraid that I would be liquidated by the family in the future, so I was worried all day long. Now, hearing such heartwarming words from the official authority of the family, the officers are all in tears. Many people cried bitterly on the spot. knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zichuan Xiulian: "My lord." We're sorry for the family! Kill us!"

I watched the officers who were stubble old enough to be their fathers kowtow and cry at their twenty-seven-year-old selves. Zichuan Xiu's heart was full of indescribable taste.

This turmoil could have been avoided. Because of Luo Minghai's personal grudges, Zichuan Shenxingdi's suspicion, and his brother's arrogance in the forest. The rebellion, which lasted for a year. How many families have been separated. Grief over the loss of a loved one. The people responsible for this rebellion, Zichuan Shenxing and Luo Minghai are dead. Diling also paid the price he deserved; But those who paid more price were those who were not at fault in the slightest: Stirling, Qin Lu, Pigu, Wenhe, Starry, those cavalry non-commissioned officers and students who fell on the streets of the imperial capital. The officers and soldiers of the Inspectorate of the Southwest Frontier were killed by many more unknown soldiers and officers of the Expeditionary Force, the Praetorian Guard, the Far Eastern Army – and even the Inspectorate. The soldiers adhered to the military orders. Faithful to duty. Abide by the military reputation. Fought bravely, but did not expect it at all. Fighting, bloodshed, and sacrifice brought about a meaningless result.

Of course, Zichuan Xiu is not just a good old man in the mud, the gangsterism that the Supervision Department has cultivated for a long time, and the bad habits are too deep. After the defeat and disbandment. Lost restraint along the way. In the middle of the night, they went out and ransacked the surrounding towns. Afterwards, they tried to kill people, but the passing Oda Provincial Garrison found out and stopped them, and the two sides clashed. There were casualties.

Afterwards. Hearing the news, Shikawa Xiu was furious. A strict investigation was ordered. Because the bandit army had already absconded, the Far Eastern Army sent an elite force, the Xiuzi Battalion, to pursue it. The Far Eastern Army General Shirakawa was in charge of the investigation. The commander-in-chief issued a strict order: "Never tolerate mercy, kill one and make an example!" Shirakawa adheres to the usual strong style. Resolute. Sortie like the wind. Less than three days. She has returned in triumph. More than 300 bandits who reported committing crimes were either killed or captured, and all of them have been arrested.

On this record. On behalf of the General Headquarters, Shikawa Shu gave high praise.

For compliments. Shirakawa didn't really care. She seemed preoccupied. After reporting on the pursuit. She said, "Your Excellency." The subordinate asked to see him alone. ”

Everyone present was very surprised, because Lin Bing and Ming Yu present were both high-ranking officials of the Far East Command, and they were Zichuan Xiu's cronies, and they chased and killed a group of bandits, no matter how serious they were, to the point of retreating from them.

But Shikawa Xiu knows that Shirakawa has always been rigorous, if there is no big thing. She would never make such a request, but fortunately, Lin Bing and Ming Yu also spoke with interest. They all said that they still had something to deal with in their camp, so they had to leave first.

After the two high-ranking generals of the Far East left, Bai Chuan reported to Zichuan Xiuyan: "My lord. Xia Guan was on his way to pursue the bandits. Ran into one thing. I feel the need to report to an adult. ”

"Tell me, what is it?"

"The lower officer was on the pursuit road when he encountered a group of people who were also rushing west. We thought they were gangsters and ordered them to stop and be checked, but the gang saw us. And didn't stop, but accelerated to flee, as a last resort. We subdued them with our hands. Scour them for something. Please take a look. ”

Looking at the few pages of paper that Shirakawa had presented, Zichuan Xiu had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, and he asked, "What is this?" It was His Royal Highness Ning who issued the military order of the commander-in-chief. The order was given to the Governor of Minghui in the Northwest and the Governors of the Southwest Provinces, and the order required them to take advantage of the defeat of Dilin to immediately send troops to intercept the route of the remnants of Dilin fleeing abroad. Exterminate them once and for all. ”

Despite his mental preparations, Zi Chuanxiu stood up in shock: "His Royal Highness Ning has issued a military order to the northwest?" How did I not know?"

Bai Chuan bowed: "The subordinate has to ask for the guilt first, but the Far Eastern Intelligence Bureau knows nothing, and the subordinate is the head of the intelligence bureau, which is really dereliction of duty." Please take strict punishment. ”

Zi Chuanxiu waved his hand unconsciously: "It's not your fault, the Second Army has enough affairs." You have the title of intelligence chief, but you can't really care about it at all, you should ask Du Yafeng about this matter. ”

Think about it. He shook his head dejectedly: "It's not about Du Yafeng, he has reported to me a few times." said that His Royal Highness Ning and Li Qing had frequent contact with the governors recently. I told him not to worry too much and to spend more time looking into the information of the Ombudsman - I was to blame for that. Bai Chuan comforted: "How can this be blamed on the adult? You treat others with integrity and tolerance. But His Royal Highness Ning secretly played this trick behind the adult's back. It's too much. The lower officials believe that the monarch and the minister are suspicious of each other to this extent. It's just too dangerous. Since ancient times, those who have made high achievements and shocked the Lord have rarely had a good death. Xia Guan felt. Your best ...... Prepare early,

Zi Chuan Xiu looked at Bai Chuan: "Ming Yu, they have already suggested that I usurp the throne and become independent...... Shirakawa, do you advise me the same?"

Bai Chuan shook his head: "My lord, I am an officer of the family, and I will not suggest that you take the throne." Although the current situation. You may well succeed, but thousands of years later, history will be like a rafter. You will always be called a usurper. ”

Zichuan Xiu smiled: "Will I care about the reputation of people after thousands of years?"

Shirakawa also smiled: "My lord." No matter how you decide, I'm always going to follow the grown-up, but I just think. We don't have to go that far, we really can't. We will retreat to the Far East. Your Excellency, you are still the King of Light that we support. The affairs of the Zichuan family. We just don't participate. ”

After defeating Dillin. Even Shikawa Xiu himself didn't realize it. The path to the Continent Supreme had appeared in front of him unimpeded, but what exactly would be the path for the future? The twenty-seven-year-old young general is still confused. Shirakawa said. Returning to the Far East, closing the door and being the king of the Far East, this road Zichuan Xiu has not thought about - not only has he considered it. He very much wanted that, but reason told him it wasn't going to work.

This time the war of rebellion. The Far East has paid a huge price. This is counting on the recovery of the Zichuan family. And the future development and production of the Far East. It is also inseparable from the support of the Zichuan family's home country, and cooperated with Lin Jiadi last time. Originally, it was all negotiated, but it was forced to be suspended because of the civil strife in Zichuan's home. For the Far East. The influence of the Zichuan family is too great, and for the future of the Far East, Zichuan Xiu must control the variable of the Zichuan family in his hands. Don't let it mess up.

There are also two ways to control the Zichuan family. Either usurp the throne or take the presidency as it should. This also allows for effective control over the family.

Which path should I choose? Zi Chuanxiu was still swaying and confused, he had been thinking about his old relationship with Zi Chuanning. He was very willing to get along with the monarch and the ministers, but today's news from Shirakawa gave him a major blow. This is a very red flag. After all, Zi Chuanning is the heir to a kingdom that has controlled half of the continent for nearly three hundred years. Since childhood, he has grown up under the influence of the peak of power. She's not so manipulative.

Zichuan Xiu couldn't help but shake his head. He asked Bai Chuan: "Do your subordinates have the kind of people who are very reliable and can carry out orders without asking right or wrong?"

"Yes, what do you want to do?"

"I need someone to protect my eldest brother, my eldest brother was defeated, and the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs. Don't let Minghui and those bunnies really suck him. I will send all the soldiers and horses to guard my eldest brother until he is safe to go to sea. ”

There was a slight surprise in Shirakawa's eyes. She didn't expect that a few days ago, Zi Chuanxiu and Di Lin fought endlessly, but after the victory and defeat were separated, Zi Chuanxiu was so concerned about Di Lin's safety.

"Nanyun, Qi Tenghui and Dong Qian are all excellent team leaders in the Second Army.

Loyal to the adults, they can all carry out this task, but the lower officials believe that His Excellency Dekun is the best person to carry out the mission. ”

Zichuan Xiu blurted out, "Why?" Immediately understood: the human officers and troops who had fallen to the ground had an inextricable relationship with the Zichuan family. They were asked to protect the traitor of the family, even if they were reluctantly ordered. There will also be resistance in my heart, and maybe I will procrastinate and prevaricate. If you are in danger, you will not die. It's not as good as the orcs of the Far East, they are simple-minded. They do whatever they say. Moreover, they have little to do with the Zichuan family, and they don't have much hatred for Di Lin.

There was also a more important reason for seeing the orc forces of the Far East appear. Those warlords in the interior should know. The defeated Dilin troops were under their own protection. Unless the governors of the southwest want to commit suicide. Otherwise, they would never dare to attack a half-orc army with the banner of the Far East.

"Okay, Shirakawa, just as you say. Let's send Dekun to lead the team. It is not advisable to send too many people over. One team should be enough. Let Dekun remember to show our banner, be clever in case of trouble, and be clear about the people who deal with us. I don't think the governors have the guts yet. Don't let them get in the dark. ”

"Understood." Bai Chuan's expression was solemn: "My lord." Although this possibility is very small, if our troops are really attacked, how should Dekun respond?"

Zi Chuanxiu's eyes flashed coldly: "Is this still useful?" No matter who the target is, as long as he dares to attack my army in the Far East, then he will resolutely fight back!"

Negotiate with Shirakawa. On the same day, Dekun was ordered to set out, and his mission was to find and protect the troops of the Imperial Forest. The mission was secret and did not pass through the Far Eastern High Command. Instead, Shikawa Xiu summoned Dekun in a private capacity. But for the one-eyed half-orc generals. Zichuan Xiu and the Far East Command, that is a matter of one and two, two and one. As long as His Royal Highness the King of Light says the ground. That is the undoubted truth, although it is necessary to carry out such a ridiculous task as protecting the family's great traitor Di Lin, but Dekun didn't say a word, and agreed without hesitation: "Your Highness, I understand!" Whoever wants to attack His Excellency Di Lin, they have to pass this level first. As long as my sons are still alive. Your Excellency Di Lin is absolutely as stable as Mount Tai!"

The orc general had a lot of fighting spirit, but things didn't go well, and three days after the orc cavalry set out, Dekun found himself in unexpected difficulties. It was expected that after the defeat, the Dilin Legion would be defeated, and the morale and discipline would not be much better, and the speed would certainly not be faster, although they set off for two days first, and Dekun was confident that it would not be a problem to catch up with them.

But now, Dekun's team has been chasing for four days. I couldn't even touch the shadow of the Emperor Forest. They don't even know where they're going. Defeated soldiers and horses on this road. Whether it was asking the deserters on the same road or the villagers in the vicinity, Dekun couldn't ask for the slightest information

Dekun couldn't help but admire Di Lin from the bottom of his heart, you know, Di Lin himself was wounded, he commanded a defeated army on the verge of collapse, after the soldiers and horses, he could be like the wind through the dense forest wolf scurrying through the field without a trace. What a superhuman ability it takes.

"No wonder Di Lin can be on the same level as His Royal Highness the King of Light and be called a famous general in the mainland, it is really not a waste of fame, fortunately, His Highness defeated the enemy with one sword, otherwise we don't know how many people will have to die to clean them up!"

Dekun searched all over the world for the whereabouts of the Emperor Lindi, and Zichuan Xiu was not idle here. Now that he knew that Li Qing was planning to use the warlords of the northwest and southwest to deal with Di Lin. It would be pointless for the rebels to stay in Bartley any longer.

Zi Chuanxiu didn't say anything about Li Qing's plan, but discussed with Li Qing and Zi Chuanning in a good voice, the rebels were almost incorporated, shouldn't the army move to the imperial capital? Because the main force of Dilin has been defeated, the general trend is inevitable. Even in the imperial capital, there are still some remnants of the Supervision Office. They should also know where their destiny lies. No one should dare to stop the king.

Zi Chuanning and Li Qing secretly issued an order to hunt down and kill Emperor Lindi without Zi Chuanxiu, and when they heard this, they immediately raised their hands in agreement: "My lord, you are reasonable. Restore the country and return the capital. It's at this time!"

Shikawa Xiu proposed again. As the head of the family, His Royal Highness Zichuan Ning led the royal division to return to the imperial capital after quelling the rebellion, which was not only a military action, but also a political move of far-reaching and significant significance, marking the resumption of the Zichuan family's rule over the country. Zichuan Ningdi's return to drive should not be neglected, and it must be a sensation. Well known. Therefore. Before His Highness Ning returns. A competent man needs to be sent to set off first. Calm the security of the imperial capital, clear the remnants of rebellion, and prepare to arrange the driving matter, Zichuan Xiu thinks. Shirakawa, the general of the Far Eastern Army, has always been careful and thorough. Putting her in charge of this should be the best person to do so. Zi Chuanning and Li Qing glanced at each other. Neither of them is a child. Of course, I know that this kind of advance officer is a very beneficial errand. Di Lin occupied the imperial capital for more than a year. Bureaucrats, wealthy businessmen and aristocrats in the interior of the imperial capital, who dares to say that they are really so clean. Nothing to do with the rebels? Now the king has returned. Who isn't worried about being liquidated? At this time, the advance receiver has the power to review, screen and dispose of it, and has such power. The benefits are, of course, needless to say.

Li Qing originally wanted to recommend herself to take on this task - it wasn't that she was greedy for money. It's just that she hopes to be in Zi Chuanning before she arrives. Help Zichuan Ning win the hearts of the people in the imperial capital. Lay the groundwork for Shirokawa Nin's real future in power - once Shirakawa Shu proposed Shirakawa for this task, she had nothing more to say. Not to mention that in this war of rebellion, Shirakawa made outstanding contributions. It is said that Zi Chuanning and Li Qing were ambushed by the Supervision Department on the road to the Far East. It was Shirakawa who was passing by who saved them, and this huge favor made her really unable to object.

Zi Chuanning didn't expect so much. She has always had a good impression of Shirakawachi. smiled: "Sister Shirakawa has always done things safely. She used to run errands. I'm relieved. ”

Zi Chuanxiu glanced at Li Qing and said with a smile: "Since Your Highness also agrees." Then the matter is settled, I inform Shirakawa and leave tomorrow. ”

Long before Shirakawa arrived, the imperial capital was recovered from the rebels, and the news came that Dilin's main force was defeated by Zichuan Xiu at the foot of Shagang City. The imperial capital immediately set off a monstrous wave. The remaining units of the Office of the Ombudsman bombed the camp on the same day. The soldiers threw down their weapons one after another and fled the barracks in groups, and Ling Chao, the left-behind chief of the imperial capital and the director of the Sixth Division of the Supervision Department, was unable to suppress the bullets, and killed himself in the office in despair, and the news came out. The remaining troops of the Supervision Office dispersed in a hurry.

The imperial metropolitan area lost its government and management, and the gangs in the city took the opportunity to go out, and large groups of robbers and thugs openly committed crimes and robbed the streets. Smash the shop. Seeking revenge and setting fire, the streets of the imperial capital were in chaos, just in broad daylight. The great land and the market were empty. No one dared to walk on the streets. Gangsters rampage in droves with weapons. I could only hear the crackling and smashing sound of prying open the door of the shop, the screams and cries for help of the woman from time to time, and the corpses and wreckage of the beaten to the ground were placed on the street in broad daylight. No one converges. Law-abiding citizens used wardrobes and tables to hold up the doors. Trembling, he hid behind the curtains and peeked into the misery of the streets. The atmosphere did not dare to breathe, and the whole city was enveloped in a terrifying atmosphere, and everyone was in danger.

At this time, some people remembered Di Linlai, under his rule, the gangsters in the imperial capital were more honest than rabbits. Everyone felt that even the worst government – even the rebel government – was much better than anarchy.

Then. Although the rule of the Inspectorate collapsed, the Imperial Capital was not without great power. Several dukes and many wealthy families had a large number of private soldiers and bodyguards in their homes. If it is released. It is possible to suppress the gangster's atrocities, but this is a very moment. Although Dilin was defeated, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse. The remnants of his land still have the ability to turn the entire imperial capital into a sea of blood. None of the senators and nobles wanted to come out and get into trouble, but ordered their private soldiers to guard their homes and manors. Turning a blind eye to the riots in the interior of the imperial capital, the Supervision Office collapsed, and the rebel army in the Far East had not yet had time to arrive, and the situation in the interior of the imperial capital was deteriorating day by day. The scale of the riots spread from a few blocks to the entire city, and the mob wreaked havoc on the streets of what was once a glorious place. Revelry and arson. The city was in flames. Black smoke enveloped the city. The citizens were terrified. As if the end had come,

And so on. In less than a week, before the troops of Di Lin or Zichuan Xiudi arrived, the imperial capital city would be destroyed by riots and fires. But at this point. The turnaround has finally arrived. Because of the collapse of the Supervision Department, Commander Goshan, who had been imprisoned in the headquarters of the Supervision Department, was rescued by his subordinates.

Seeing the chaos in the imperial capital. Coming out of the dungeon of the Supervision Department, Goshan didn't go home either, and went directly to the Imperial Capital Governance Department.

"I'm the Goshan Commander, gathering all the people. Come out with me and kill people. ”

Goshan was a civilian official, but the chief of staff was the cabinet minister in charge of the security of the imperial capital. The Imperial Capital was under the jurisdiction of Goshan. Although the young chief and adjutant of the Imperial Capital Administration Department were removed by the Supervision Department. However, a large number of senior police officers, who were the backbone of the department, were Goshen's old subordinates, and they had always had respect for this honest and serious old boss, and the officers did not expect to resist her orders. but obediently obey.

The lack of paralysis in the imperial capital was not due to a lack of manpower. And only because of the loss of command. Once you have the backbone. It was not difficult to get back up and running, and Goshan himself sat in charge of the headquarters of the Ministry of Justice, patrolling the neighborhood in wagons full of police officers. More than 5,000 armed police officers poured into the streets to carry out ferocious killings against the gangs. Fierce fights unfold across multiple neighborhoods. But in the end, it all ended in the victory of the police, and one gang after another was eradicated.

Gangsters are rampant again. They were also unable to stand up to a paramilitary force, and the ruler was weak. That's because their opponents are the military. But if they are against the rogue ruffians, then they are the strongest force in the imperial capital.

Less than two days. Under Goshan's decisive attack, order was restored to the imperial capital, and the new government hastily stood up and posted a notice announcing that the king had defeated the rebels in Bartley. Now, everyone only needs to wait quietly, waiting for His Royal Highness Zichuan Ning to lead the Far Eastern rebel army to return to the imperial capital.

So, January 21, 787. When Bai Chuan led the cavalry of the Xiuzi Battalion to the imperial capital gate, a city without resistance was presented in front of her, and the gate of the imperial capital was wide open. The leading figures of the city, such as senators, officials, and nobles, gathered at the city gates. Bunting flies. Gongs and drums were noisy, and more than 100,000 citizens lined the streets to welcome and warmly welcome Wang Shi's recovery of the capital.

A large group of dignitaries of the imperial capital surrounded Bai Chuan to ask for warmth, and high hats such as "hard work", "turning the tide", and "hard fighting" flew all over the sky, and the aristocratic senators wept bitterly, telling how they had a deep enmity with the rebels. How did he look forward to the arrival of the royal division, and now he has seen the representative of the royal division, General Shirakawa. They are blind to death,

Government officials, on the other hand, emphasized that they were steadfast in the face of the rebels, and that they remained steadfast in their integrity, no matter how much the enemy tried to force them. It is better to die than to cooperate with the rebels, and not only that. They also waged a resolute struggle against the rebels. Secretly created countless difficulties and obstacles for the rebels. He made a non-negligible contribution to the family's recovery - of course, the officials did not dare to say that Dilin was the place where they were defeated. But it's not because they are still ashamed, it's just that they don't dare to compete with Zichuan Xiu.

Shirakawa noticed that when many local people were talking to him. The people who should have rushed to the front were hiding behind. Ge Shan, the highest-ranking family official in the imperial capital, was supposed to take the lead when he met him, but he kept hiding behind and kept silent. Leaving aside the group of aristocratic officials, Shirakawa took the initiative to walk towards Goshan: "Chief of staff." Long time no see. How are you doing?"

Goshan glanced at Bai Chuan lightly: "Even I haven't seen you before. ”

At the venue, the nobles and officials were frightened and their faces were like paper. Who is Shirakawa? Far Eastern King Zichuan Xiudi is the most trusted general. In charge of military power, he has rescued His Royal Highness Zichuan Ning, and he is now a hot upstart. And Goshen said that he was the chief of staff. But her backstage supporters, Luo Minghai and Zichuan Shenxing, are dead. She herself was taken prisoner by the rebels. It is also said that there were rumors that the rebels had surrendered - such an outrageous figure. How dare you say this to Shirakawa? You don't have to wait for Zichuan Xiu to come over. As soon as Shirakawa gets angry, the fierce Far Eastern soldiers will chop up Goshan on the spot!

Bai Chuan didn't get angry, in fact, she knew from Zichuan Xiu that Ge Shan was this invulnerable character. She smiled awkwardly and said: "It's the lower official who is reckless, and he hasn't introduced himself yet, and the lower official is a ...... of the Far Eastern Army."

"I know who you are, Lord Shirakawa. I've been waiting for you to come over. Everyone is busy. Thou hast space to speak. Let's do the handover. There are the keys and account books of the treasury in the imperial capital, the data warehouse of the registered population of the Ministry of the Interior, the information on the financial revenue of the provinces and counties of the Ministry of Finance, the information and reports on the public security situation in the imperial capital compiled by the Ministry of Governance, as well as the seals, confidential documents and materials of the Governor's Office, the Military Affairs Office, the Command Office, the Council of Elders and other key organs.

"Your Excellency Shirakawa. These things. I've made a detailed list. The Imperial Capital Governance Department guards all the key departments, and the people of the land only need to go over and take over according to the list address, and the Imperial Capital Governance Department has received an order. As soon as there is your warrant from Your Excellency Shirakawa, they will be handed over immediately. ”

Looking at the thick stack of checklists handed in front of him. Shirakawa hesitated for a moment before instructing his subordinates to take it. She smiled and said, "Chief of Staff." I didn't expect to see you here. His Royal Highness Zi Chuanning is very concerned about your safety. It's okay to see you. His Highness must be pleased. Goshan pouted, "I was captured by the rebels for a year. Now it's safe and sound, and I think you know what's going on. Would His Highness be happy to see a traitor?"

Shirakawa: "......"

Everyone: "......"

It's the first time Shirakawa has seen a character like Goshan. Speaking bluntly is an excellent quality. But like Goshan, he can't get everyone off the stage every time. This inevitably went to the extreme, and her boss Zichuan Xiu once described her as a perverted old virgin after a year of imprisonment. She broke the can and broke it, and brought this impersonal style to the fullest.

"Chief of staff, the disposition of your land can only be made by His Royal Highness Ning or Commander Xiuchuan, and the lower officials are only here to be the forerunner of His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, and they have not received any orders about your land, so. Before the arrival of the new order. Your Excellency, you are still the head of staff of the family, and during this period, I hope to give more advice to the lower officials. ”

Gothand snorted. But he didn't speak anymore, and Bai Chuan was afraid that she would say something unpleasant again, so he hurriedly asked: "Chief of staff, the lower officials have something to ask." ”

"Huh?"

Shirakawa pulled Goshan aside. He asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, where are the family members of Emperor Lindi now?" Are they under your control?"

Goshan looked at Shirakawa. Guess the other party's intentions. Do you want to destroy Di Lin's house? Wrong. If so. This is above board. You don't have to dodge it so much. So...... Zichuan Xiu has a good relationship with Emperor Lindi, Bai Chuan must have been ordered by her master to protect Di Lin's family, Zichuan Xiu, is really unscrupulous. Dare to shield rebellion—but. What else is there now that this warlord of the Far East would not dare to do?

"I'm busy, this trivial and boring. How can I have an air traffic control!" Ge Shan said expressionlessly, raising his voice: "Yang Bo!" Yes!" A senior police officer responded: "Lord Shirakawa, Chief of Staff." What do you command?"

"Yang Bo is the temporary governor of the Imperial Capital's Ruling Department - you take His Excellency Bai Chuan's people to the Imperial Forest Land Mansion to have a look. Look at what else is out there. Then you do what she commands. ”

"Yes!"

Under the leadership of the junior police officer of the Ministry of Justice. When Shirakawa arrived at the Imperial Mansion with a group of Far Eastern cavalry, they were presented with a chaotic situation, the gate of the mansion was closed, and there were traces of smoke and fire at the door, and the ground had been attacked. A dozen corpses lay in the doorway and in the nearby streets, already stinking, large swarms of flies buzzing and flying, and large groups of thugs armed with iron rods and machetes gathered far outside the residence. He shouted and cursed, "Come out and die!" Hand over the money and the women inside. Let you die a happy death!"

"Stinky bitch, I'm going to kill you!"

Someone burst out. Throw a burning torch into the wall of the residence. Then he quickly turned around and hid back in the corner of the block. Occasionally, a few arrows were shot from the walls of the besieged mansion. The thugs who couldn't dodge were shot and killed, and the thugs who were shot and wounded were screaming and crying, but more thugs were there eager to attack again.

Looking at the chaotic scene in front of you. Bai Chuan frowned slightly, and she looked at the young police officer beside her: "Your Excellency Yang Bo ......"

"Your Excellency. I don't dare to be called Your Excellency, just call me Yang Bo. ”

"That's good. Yang Bo. I remember. What you just said. The order of the imperial capital has been controlled, and those thugs and hooligans have been suppressed.

"This ......" Yang Bo had cold sweat on his forehead, and he didn't know how to answer. In fact, things are simple, because the imperial capital really doesn't know what kind of attitude to use to face the emperor's family, respectfully and bow down to listen to the order - that is definitely not good. His Royal Highness Zichuan Ning has been restored. At this time, everyone is eager to draw a line with the traitor immediately. Whoever dares to approach the family of Di Lindi, isn't that looking for death?

So, arrest them? Not to mention the fierce and brave guards in the Imperial Mansion, the young policemen of the Ministry of Governance are not their opponents. And. Although Zi Chuan Ning won a great victory at Bartley, no one knows whether the army that arrived in the imperial capital first would be Zi Chuan Xiu's rebel army or the remnants of the defeated Emperor Lin, if Di Lin came back first. Then everyone dares to touch this demon king's family, and they are also looking for death. So. The Imperial Capital Governor simply ignored this neighborhood - let them make trouble, let them die!

However, these reasons are now impossible to say to Bai Chuan, Yang Bo had no choice but to bow his head and confess: "My lord, the imperial capital is too big, and the army is insufficient. There are some places that we really can't take care of, and we can only protect some key neighborhoods and departments - in short, we are incompetent, please punish them!"

"Oh. That's right. Shirakawa said. didn't blame out loud, in fact, she could guess some of the land that the imperial capital was less troubled by. I don't want to get into trouble. Staying away, that is the consistent style of government agencies, and now is not the time to pursue this, "Evict them, and after ten minutes, dare to stay on this street." Shoot and kill. ”

"Yes!"

The Far Eastern cavalry whistled with their sabers drawn. With the overwhelming sound of hooves, the ruffians on the street realized that something was wrong. Didn't wait for them to react. A large group of Far Eastern cavalry had rushed straight at them, beating and slashing them with sabers and leather whips. The blow broke his head and was bleeding and dripping with blood. Some shrewd ruffians hurriedly shouted, "We support the family!" We're helping the family fight rebellion!" All they received was a vicious whip, a saber and a stern rebuke: "Get out!"

Less than ten minutes. The whole street was empty. All that remained was corpses and abandoned debris on the ground.

Surrounded by a large group of Far Eastern cavalry. Bai Chuan came to the door, facing the solemn door, she raised her voice: "I am the Far Eastern Army Bai Chuan Red Cloth Banner. Inspector General Dilin has been defeated in Bartley. He ordered all the Ombudsman troops to surrender to our troops. In keeping with the will of the Far Eastern Commander and Lord Dilin, I order you to open the door immediately!"

After two minutes of silence, the gates opened, and the Far Eastern soldiers rushed in. Control all the key points in the residence. Knowing that the general situation was gone, the gendarmes in the province did not resist, and they quietly gathered in the courtyard. Lined up neatly, waiting to surrender.

At the time of entering the door. Bai Chuan told the officers leading the team: "When you see His Excellency Lin Xiujia and the emperor's son, you must be respectful and polite. Don't be rude. ”

The officer promised on his lips, but he didn't think so, a rebellious wife and child. What's so polite?

Seeing his expression, Shirakawa accentuated his tone: "In the future." Surely the adults will meet them. When we met, I had to call her sister-in-law, and at that time, if Lin Xiujia sued you, even I would be unlucky. You can imagine what will happen to you!"

The officers listened with horror. Only then did I pay respect, during the search of the mansion. They are really polite and polite, and they use honorifics for the maids who pour tea and water. Be cautious as if you were a guest. It made the other party feel uneasy: "I've never seen such a raid, aren't they making any ideas?"

But. The results of the search disappointed Shirakawa: "My lord. I've seen them all. Mrs. Lin and the little boy were nowhere to be seen. ”

"Huh?" Shirakawa was shocked. Zi Chuan Xiu asked her to serve as the advance party to come to the imperial capital, and her first task was to protect Lin Xiujia and Di Di. Now that I don't see these two people, how can I explain to Zichuan Xiu?

In a hurry, she went out in person. asked the guards of the Imperial Forest Land in detail, and repeatedly assured that there was no malice in coming to this trip. It's just that I was ordered by Lord Xiuchuan to protect Ms. Lin Xiujia and Prince Didi. Hopefully they will cooperate.

The guards believed in Shirakawachi's sincerity. Also very cooperative, but the most critical issue. They really didn't know, they said that Lin Xiujia and Didi moved out about half a year ago, and they didn't know where they lived.

The replies of a dozen or so guards were all exactly the same, and Shirakawa was finally discouraged. She panicked in her heart: Lin Xiujia is gone, now, how can she explain to adults?
