The sound of uniform footsteps resounded in the front palace of the imperial city, and the three hundred sergeants walked in slowly and steadily, flags fluttering in the wind. It is now the early spring season in Longdu City, and the noon sun is soft and soft, shining on everyone's faces, as if the tenderness of Beiyi is like water.

Zhang Xiaowu dismounted and walked forward, and all the soldiers followed him left and right, including Wei Yuan, who looked embarrassed, and he looked at the city walls from time to time, worried about what would be exposed. But his worries were unnecessary, the Imperial Forest Army did not have the slightest abnormality, and even the recruits were calmer than him, because the Royal Forest Army also thought in their hearts that the Generalissimo was the leader in their hearts, not Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan miscalculated, after Zhang Xiaowu appeared in front of the Imperial Forest Army, he miscalculated, these Longdu teenagers who grew up listening to ghost stories since childhood, after seeing the idol, immediately began to be loyal to Zhang Xiaowu in their hearts, not military orders. Wei Yuan became more and more frightened and frightened, he was worried that those killers who were hiding in the dark would also lose control like the Imperial Forest Army, and even give up their plans after seeing Zhang Xiaowu.

Under the escort of the sergeant, Zhang Xiaowu came to the former Central Mansion, now the Eight Ministries Cabinet.

Gu Yong stood in front of the Eight Divisions Pavilion, waiting for him with a smile on his face, then slowly walked down, stepped forward and said, "Generalissimo." ”

Zhang Xiaowu returned the salute and said: "Right phase." ”

Gu Yong sighed: "I didn't expect that the former Qinglong Military Captain has now become the pillar of the empire, and the world is impermanent, and there is nothing more vicissitudes than this." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "When it comes to the pillar of the empire, it is none other than the prime minister, I am just a martial artist." ”

Gu Yong said: "Can you be a martial artist who can be literate and martial?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu laughed and said, "The prime minister is a fool of praise and a joke." ”

Gu Yong stretched out his hand and saluted, "Please." ”

Zhang Xiaowu stopped: "Before seeing Your Majesty, I had a reluctant request, and I hope the prime minister will help me." ”

Gu Yong asked, "What can the generalissimo ask for?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand, turned around and said, "The rest of the people retreated ten zhang, I have something to say to the right minister alone." Wang Jing and the others looked left and right, and retreated, and the Imperial Forest Army beside Gu Yong could only retreat for a long time when they saw this. Stepping and stomping-"As the soldiers moved away, in front of the huge Eight Divisions Cabinet, a piece of bluestone land was vacant, leaving only the two of them.

Gu Yong frowned, not knowing why.

Zhang Xiaowu bowed to the end, made a junior courtesy, and said sincerely: "The son-in-law meets the father-in-law." ”

Gu Yong has a hundred flavors in his heart, to be honest, he is a hundred unwilling to this aunt in his heart, but if it is not for His Majesty's plan, how can he marry his daughter to him. Now that the eldest daughter has died of illness, the second daughter is still staying in Youzhou, but I am afraid that after today, the second daughter in Youzhou will be killed by Zhang Xiaowu's dead soldiers to take revenge. Thinking of his daughter, Gu Yong's heart was in great pain, he could only pretend to be casual and help Zhang Xiaowu up, and said: "Excuse me, you and I are now in the imperial city, we are the ministers of the Son of Heaven, you are the generalissimo, I am the right minister, and we will talk about other things after retiring from the dynasty." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Ruoxi is in Youzhou, and he has never suffered. ”

Gu Yong smiled reluctantly.

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Lord Yue, have you ever been worried? Once I take control of Longdu, you and Li Cunyi will no longer be in power? ”

Gu Yong's forehead trembled, and he said lightly: "You and I are both courtiers, if you have the ability to make the empire better, I am willing to take a back seat." ”

Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and said: "You shouldn't connive at Your Majesty, indiscriminately issue banknotes, and over-issuance of banknotes will ruin the people." Now, although the puppet Wu and the puppet Zhou destroyed the country and the dog fled north, there were constant riots in various places, and the people resisted taxes and military service endlessly. Right phase, although the world is decided, there is no end to the chaos. ”

Gu Yong said: "How can a dynasty be stable in the world?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "If everyone in the world has food in their hands and money in their bags, why worry about the world? ”

Gu Yong said: "So you're accusing me?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and said, "No." He then sighed and said, "I'm going to die, I'm making some explanations." ”

"What?" Gu Yong was taken aback.

Zhang Xiaowu sighed, and said: "In order to protect Your Majesty on the star-picking platform in the past, I single-handedly killed hundreds of rebels, exhausting my energy and blood. Si Cheng of Tai Hospital once said that if I didn't rest, I could live for ten years at most, but I didn't think about it at first, I just thought he was alarmist. Now I can't sleep every night, and I feel a faint pain from old wounds all over my body. I asked the world's famous doctors, and learned that the old disease is difficult to return, and if you want to cure this disease, you can only give up everything. Therefore, I want to resign from the post of generalissimo of soldiers and horses, return to my hometown to recuperate, and maybe live a little longer, and this life is enough. My lord, what I said earlier was just a warning to you, not a threat. ”

Gu Yong's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "You...... Are you going to quit your job and go home? ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded and said, "Yes, resign, go home." ”

Gu Yong's heart was in turmoil, the original plan was suddenly disrupted, he thought that Zhang Xiaowu controlled the entire Dragon Capital, in order to force him to give up the post of prime minister, and then take charge of the imperial court. He thought that after they planned to hunt Zhang Xiaowu, they would have to face all kinds of difficulties next, how to buy Zhang Xiaowu's men, and how to deal with Zhang Xiaowu's rebels. How could he have thought that Zhang Xiaowu suddenly proposed the idea of resigning at this moment, which really made him unbearable.

Zhang Xiaowu then said: "I met a doctor in Youzhou, and he told me that if I were so worried about the world and complicated things now, I would die suddenly on the battlefield in a few years." If I die suddenly, the world will be in chaos, but if I live in the world—as long as I live, the world will not be in chaos. I think about it, but I still think that only you are the most capable of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and you can bear everything in the court after I leave. Prime Minister Gu, others think that after I enter Beijing, I will fight with you, but I tell you, I don't fight with you today, and I won't fight with you in the future. ”

Gu Yong looked at him in shock, not knowing in his heart whether he should believe his words or not, maybe he was deceiving himself, maybe he was deliberately saying this. He knows too well the hearts of those in power, as long as he holds power, who can give up the temptation of power? Thinking of this, Gu Yong regained his expression, and said with a faint smile: "Generalissimo is joking, how can this country be without you." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said again: "You can know why I control Longdu with a large army? ”

Gu Yong said: "The generalissimo is serious, the generalissimo was originally to protect our dynasty, how can he control it?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand and said: "Right Prime Minister, you don't trust me after all." ”

Gu Yong smiled: "You and I are both courtiers, so why don't you trust it." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "That's it, you can take me to see Your Majesty." ”

Gu Yong walked in front, Zhang Xiaowu followed behind him unhurriedly, arrived at the gate of the palace, and went straight forward to the Zhengde Palace. Zhang Xiaowu stood in front of the south gate of the palace, looking up at the three big characters of Zhengyang Gate, and couldn't help but smile slightly. Then he saw the lanterns on both sides of the city gate, and found the lanterns on the city gate of Zhengyang Gate, he looked at it carefully, and then stopped.

Wang Yijin said: "My lord, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Today, something big will happen. ”

"Big deal?"

"Yes, big deal." Zhang Xiaowu said: "The more I walk into this Zhengde Palace, the more I feel heavy and stressed, this is not a place for me to exert power, but a place to burn my life." One catty, do you remember Lu Baiting? ”

"Yes."

"He was the champion of the dynasty, and now the whole clan has been killed, all because of me."

"Because of you?"

"Yes, because he supports me to monopolize the government." Zhang Xiaowu looked at the red lantern on the gatehouse of Zhengyang Gate, and said thoughtfully: "If he can kill Lu Baiting, he can naturally kill me." ”

"My lord, what are you looking at?" Wang Yijin asked.

Zhang Xiaowu said: "One catty, do you remember to come to Xi?" ”

Wang Yijin said: "I remember, he is your countryman, but isn't he dead?" Just four years ago, Li Cunyi and other rebels died under the fire of the harem on the day they burned the palace. ”

Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and said, "No, he's not dead." ”

Wang Yijin said: "Not dead? What is the meaning? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "I came from being trapped in the fire, my face was burned by the fire, and my voice was dumb. Later, I found Laixi and asked him to change his identity and live in the palace, called Dumb Slave, and specially filled the palace walls with lamp oil. I made a pact with him that if anyone in the palace was against me and wanted to kill me, he would replace the red light tower on the city gate with a light tower with a letter. Unexpectedly, four years later, he still remembers this promise. ”

Wang Yijin widened his eyes and said, "You mean, there is danger in the harem?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled, turned around and said, "Sikong Ming, Gong Jian, take Wei Yuan." ”

"Whoa."

Wei Yuan was originally worried, but when he saw Zhang Xiaowu turn to look at him, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and when he heard Zhang Xiaowu asking people to arrest him, he immediately ran away. Wei Yuan drew his saber to resist as he ran, but the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Army behind him could not let him escape, and everyone took out their weapons to subdue him, and then pressed him to the ground.

Zhang Xiaowu stepped forward, squatted on the ground and asked, "What happened in the palace?" General Wei? It looks like someone doesn't welcome me. ”

Wei Yuan stammered, "No, it's nothing. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "You think of me too simply. ”

Wei Yuan said: "Generalissimo, I was forced, I was forced, if I don't do this, my whole family will be like Lu Baiting, and I will be beheaded all over the house." ”

Gu Yong was suddenly covered in cold sweat, pretending not to know, turned around and said, "What happened?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "Wang Jing, control my father-in-law, but don't hurt him, after all, he is the prime minister of the dynasty and my father-in-law." Lei Wenqian, led the troops to control the Zhengyang Gate and the harem city wall. Wang Yijin, you take over the Royal Forest Army, and those who violate the order will be killed. Then, Zhang Xiaowu shouted and roared: "Everyone, listen to my orders, draw your sword, and prepare for battle!" Holy Han—"

"Ten thousand years!"

The soldiers of the Qinglong Army were suddenly in high morale, and they took out their weapons one after another, and their strong fighting intent and murderous aura rushed into the sky, and the Imperial Forest Army trembled with fright when they saw this.
