Chapter 1410: Chang'e and Tianpeng
The coup d'Γ©tat initiated by Zhu Wen came and went quickly, but it did not end because of Zhu Wen's death, it was only the beginning.
There were too many people who followed Zhu Wen to launch the coup, accounting for almost one-third of the military and political affairs of the Qi State.
Before, Huang Chao only rebelled against some of the people who controlled the military power, and most of the rebellious ones were still in an uncontrolled transition.
Now even Zhu Wen is dead, but the rebellion in various places has not ended, because of the fear that Huang Chao will settle accounts after the autumn, eight counties directly erected a rebellion.
For this part of the residue, of course, Huang Chao has to clean up.
As for whether to clean up the rebellion all at once?
Naturally, it is impossible for Huang Chao to do this.
Even Wang Yanzhang and many other generals are in the ranks of rebellion, if all the rebellions are really cleaned up, this is tantamount to cutting off one's hands and feet for the Qi State.
Therefore, Huang Chao's attitude towards this rebellion was very tolerant, except for only the thief Huang Chao, the rest of the people were only appropriately punished.
Even Zhu Wen's two sons, Zhu Youwen and Zhu Youzhen, and Huang Chao generously forgave their crimes, just to appease the hearts of some traitors.
Under Huang Chao's gentle counterinsurgency methods, Zhu Wen's coup d'Γ©tat caused the trauma to the entire Qi country was also minimized.
"Don't blame your eldest brother, he is also for your good, if your brothers hate in their hearts, then they all hate this king alone."
Looking at the Zhu brothers who were tied into zongzi, Huang Chao said softly: "Come on, let them all go." β
After Zhu Youwen and Zhu Youzhen glanced at each other, Zhu Youwen said angrily: "Huang Chao, don't think that we will thank you, you are still our father's killer, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely avenge my father." β
"You don't have that chance again."
The Zhu family brothers' faces suddenly changed greatly, thinking that Huang Chao regretted it and wanted to kill them, but Huang Chao said, "Because I'm going to die." β
With that, Huang Chao turned around and left, while the Zhu brothers were all slumped on the ground.
If it's really what Huang Chao said, then wouldn't they even have a chance to take revenge?
As for revenge against the heir of Huang Chao, the two brothers had never thought about it, after all, Zhu Tianpeng was their blessing, and he was not involved in this matter.
At the thought of this, the eyes of the two brothers couldn't help but be full of confusion.
The internal cleanup of rebellion in the Qi State and the capture of the Qin army's spies are in full swing.
With all the masters of the Xuanming Sect dispatched, they destroyed ninety percent of the strongholds of the Qi State at one time, giving Jinyiwei an extremely fatal blow.
Pursued by many masters of the Xuanming Sect, the black-clothed brocade guard who had one-line contact with Zhu Wen actually escaped into Zhu Tianpeng's mansion without any concealment.
"Meet Master Meng Po and Lord Zhong Kui."
Shi Yao twisted her slender waist and walked extremely gracefully, while Zhong Xiaokui walked behind her.
Shi Yao is obviously a pretty chivalrous woman, but the people of the Xuanming Sect took advantage of him as Meng Po, which shows how far her disguise technique has reached.
"What about people?" Shi Yao asked.
"Qi Qi Meng Po, after chasing here, I lost my trace."
Shi Yao glanced at the plaque, and after discovering that it was Zhu Tianpeng's mansion, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Are you sure?" β
"Sure."
"Let's go, go in and search."
As he spoke, Shi Yao took the lead and prepared to break in, but was stopped by Zhong Xiaokui.
"Wait, this is General Zhu Tianpeng's mansion, and he is the successor chosen by the King of Qi, so he broke into his mansion without the order of the King of Qi, isn't this okay?" Zhong Xiaokui said in a deep voice.
"It is precisely because General Tianpeng is the successor of King Qi, so we have to find that person to return the general's innocence, and after the order of King Qi is passed down, that person has long since disappeared."
"This ...... All right. β
Huang Chao was very good to Zhu Tianpeng, his mansion occupied a huge area, and had nearly a hundred servants and guards.
The Xuanming Sect wanted to search without approval, but the housekeeper of the Zhu Mansion naturally refused to let them in, and this back and forth naturally quarreled, and even almost fought.
"Stop."
A voice like a silver bell came, and everyone looked at the sound, only to see a woman like a fairy, walking slowly with lotus steps.
"Miss."
The guards and servants of the Zhu Mansion all gathered around the woman, as if they were the main ones.
The woman walked up to Shi Yao and said softly: "The slave Chang'e is the righteous sister of General Zhu Tianpeng, and now my brother is fighting on the Long March, and everything in the Zhu Mansion is in charge of the little woman." Dare to ask your lords why they forcibly broke into the mansion? β
After Shi Yao and Zhong Xiaokui glanced at each other, Shi Yao replied: "Miss Qiyu, I am chasing the secret agents of the Qin army, but after chasing them to the Zhu Mansion, I lost my trace, so I want to enter the mansion to search. β
"What? In that case, please arrest him as soon as possible, so that my brother can be cleared. β
"Thank you, Miss, for understanding the righteousness, let me search it, remember, don't damage the valuables of the Zhu Mansion."
An hour later, the search team returned, but found nothing.
Seeing this, Shi Yao and Zhong Xiaokui had to say to Chang E apologetically: "I'm sorry Miss, I disturbed your mansion, and the next time I will investigate clearly, and then conduct a routine search." β
After that, Shi Yao and Zhong Xiaokui left directly with everyone, looking at the backs of everyone leaving, Chang E's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of cold light.
Zhu Tianpeng's sister-in-law Chang'e, who was ordered by Jia Xu to lurk beside Zhu Tianpeng, took the opportunity to transfer the contradictions between Zhu Tianpeng and Zhu Wen in order to force Zhu Wen to rebel.
The reason why Chang'e became Zhu Tianpeng's sister-in-law was her disguised identity at the beginning, but in fact, Zhu Tianpeng's childhood playmate, and this woman happened to be surnamed Chang Ming'e.
Under the deliberate layout of Jinyiwei, Chang'e, disguised as Chang'e, turned into a hard-working woman who was forcibly bought into a brothel, and was forcibly arrested after escaping from the brothel, only to 'happen' to meet Zhu Tianpeng who was patrolling the street with troops.
Zhu Tianpeng has an upright temperament, and after confirming his identity, he didn't think much about it, and immediately redeemed Chang'e and took care of it, and then recognized Chang'e as his sister-in-law, so the people in Zhu's mansion called her Miss.
Chang'e's ultimate task of infiltrating Qi was to transfer Zhu Wen to rebel, but he didn't expect Huang Chao to deliberately force Zhu Wen to rebel, and made all the preparations in advance, which also made all Chang'e's plans fail, and Qingzhou's Jinyiwei was also fatally hit with heavy casualties.
Since joining Jinyiwei, Chang'e has hid in the shadows to stir up the storm, playing with Yang Jian, Yang Jian, Baiguan, and even Li Shimin, but she didn't expect to be defeated by Huang Chao this time.
There are hundreds of spies in the Jinyi Wei branch in Qingzhou, and now I am afraid that she is the only one who has escaped, even if there are others who have escaped, Chang'e will not be able to trust them as before.
"Is it to retreat immediately? Or continue to lurk? Chang'e couldn't help but hesitate.
