The re-entry of Lantian in Chang'an City made Jing Xing a little depressed. The experience from yesterday to today made him truly feel the cruelty of the court battle for the first time.

Jing Xing and the officials of Lantian County he brought with him watched the three thousand Chang'an cavalry being severely punished along with their generals. When the blood began to spill, everyone trembled and shuddered.

Blood for blood, tooth for tooth! Sima Xiangru has always acted decisively. When he realized that the other party's action against Changle Yuan was the beginning of another round of power struggle, he immediately persuaded the crown prince Liu Ju to put away his benevolent side.

So, not long after, on the land soaked in the blood of veterans, the cavalry general Guo Chang was beheaded in public for ordering the massacre of national heroes without authorization, and more than 50 archers who were screened to kill and injure people were also executed. The rest of the personnel were all escorted back to Chang'an to be convicted separately.

This is a severe punishment that has never been seen since the crown prince was imprisoned. Regardless of the purpose or whether it was the prince's original intention, after this incident, no one thought that the prince was just benevolent.

Although he killed so many officers and soldiers in the army at one time, the prestige of the prince was not damaged, and it did not arouse any resentment in the army. Because Guo Chang risked the world's disapproval to kill and injure meritorious veterans first, he only let them die, which was still cheap for them.

"You have suffered! So fearless of arrows, sacrificing one's life for righteousness...... Cough, cough, cough, the old man thanked the Yuanhou on behalf of the old man! ”

Silently looking at the heads cut off by the guards of the Yulin Army, after coughing violently for a while, the master father solemnly saluted the veterans led by Zhang Xun, his face was full of compassion.

Zhang Xun turned sideways and did not accept his salute. The wounded are well cared for, and the dead veterans, after being groomed, will soon be laid to rest on the land.

"Mr. Master doesn't need to be polite, this is what everyone should do. Yuanhou Enyi, we can't repay it, maybe only this remnant body is still useful. ”

There was no sadness in Zhang Xun's eyes. He knew that the rest of the veterans, like him, had already put life and death aside when they stood up without hesitation. In a sense, they used their own death to win a head start for Chang Leyuan in the next struggle.

"Mr. Master, why would anyone want to fight the idea of Changle Yuan...... What exactly are they trying to do? ”

Many people looked at the wise man with a mixture of doubt and worry in their eyes. The master father held on to a dead tree beside him, and his heart was far from being as calm as it seemed.

"Because, where we stand under our feet, will be the key to the future development of the Han Dynasty. Everything involved here, no matter who holds the power of the court, wants to control it in their ......own hands. ”

Although they are far from understanding the interests behind this, these passionate men still perceive the heaviness in the tone of the master's father. Thinking of the arrogance of those cavalrymen who unscrupulously fired arrows and killed people not long ago, someone muttered.

"It would be nice if Yuanhou was here...... I don't think any young people dare to covet this place! ”

Hearing this, the master father Yan had some bloody bitterness in his mouth. Although the crisis has been temporarily alleviated today because of the prince's move, since the other party has already laid out the carriage and horses, he will definitely not give up so easily. What's more, he already had a faint premonition in his heart, led by Liu Quyak, the Marquis of Zhongshan

Those court magnates knew that the crown prince Liu Ju was in charge of Chang'an, but they chose to provoke at this time, what is the mystery behind this......

"From today onwards, the patrol vigilance of Changle Plateau cannot be relaxed for a moment. Perhaps, the real test has just begun. ”

The autumn wind is strong, and the trees are withering. The vitality is about to fade with this autumn wind, looking at this place where he has helped the young man with countless efforts, infinite nostalgia and sadness.

"The old man is about to lose his hand...... Yuan Zhao, I really hope I can wait until you come back! ”

Of course, the same wish exists in the hearts of many people. They never believed that the Yuan Church would die so easily. Just like the young marquis who they have always thought has repeatedly created miracles, he will surprise everyone again.

His enemies, however, apparently do not think so. That's why they have the audacity to stir up trouble for the sake of huge interests. And it's bound to get worse and worse to the point of being out of control. And the prince's rash move, in the eyes of some people, is a rare opportunity.

In Chang'an City, Zhongshan Marquis Mansion. Lantian County Ling Jingxing told his uncle Liu Quyak the whole story from beginning to end. Although the night had passed, he still had palpitations when he thought back to the blood.

However, it was not his expectation. After listening to this, Liu Quyak, who had a gloomy face, did not have the anger he imagined. He squinted his eyes and looked at the splendid and prosperous inside and outside the Hou Mansion, as if he was thinking about some very important decisions.

"Uncle! It's hard to make a fuss over there...... I didn't expect the prince to really order killing people in order to defend them. Poor General Guo Chang and those fifty or so sergeants lost their lives like that! ”

Jing Xing's face was still a little pale when he said it at this time. It was the first time he had seen the brutality of the power struggle. He believed that the crown prince Liu Ju and Sima Xiangru must have known their relationship with the Marquis of Zhongshan, maybe they didn't want to do too much this time, so they let themselves go. And Guo Chang, who acted on orders, became a victim of bad luck.

There was a shallow sneer on Liu Quyak's cunning face. He looked at his nephew as frightened, and after a little hesitation, he decided to reveal something further to him. After all, if he wants to control the government in the Hanyuan Palace in the future, he needs the loyal support of many confidants.

"If you want to achieve great things, it is inevitable that a few people will die, you don't have to think about anything, and you can't be cowardly because of this."

"But, uncle...... That's the crown prince, the future emperor, since he has made his attitude, do we really want to continue? ”

There was some eagerness in Jing Xing's tone. He didn't understand at the moment, why did his uncle insist on going his own way, knowing that this would not end well?

Liu Quyak retreated left and right, leaving only a few henchmen to serve beside him. He didn't want to leave such an important matter to Jing Xing, but now he has changed his mind. Perhaps, to deal with the famous Hou Mansion, the small Lantian County Order is the most suitable.

"Prince...... Hehe! The crown prince is not the emperor, even if he is now ruling the country, who can guarantee whether he can sit on the throne of Hanyuan Hall when the time comes? ”

Jing Xing was taken aback when he heard this. He looked at Liu Quyak's face with some disbelief, and really didn't understand what he meant by this.

"This one would

Has anything changed? Uncle! The crown prince has been ordained by the emperor for almost twenty years. He was born to Empress Wei, and his power was huge. Is it ......?"

"Jing Xing, you just need to remember that nothing in this world can be completely guaranteed! The situation is changing, and no one can predict what will happen in the next moment. Hehe! As long as you do what I tell you to do, your future glory and wealth will be smooth, and your uncle will arrange it for you! ”

Jing Xing is a smart man. Liu Quyak's words were all said about this, and his heart was churning, as if he had an understanding. Although there is still some anxiety after all, it is not good to get to the bottom of it. He pondered for a moment, and then immediately expressed his stance with a resolute expression.

"Uncle rest assured, as long as there is an order, my nephew will obey it!"

Liu Quyak smiled with satisfaction. Among the younger generation, Jing Xing is indeed an object that can be cultivated well, which is why he is so patient. Then, he heard the other man ask in a low voice.

"Uncle, now that many people in Chang'an City are afraid that they already know what happened in Changle Yuan, what should they do next?"

Liu Quyak slowly stood up, walked up to Jing Xing and patted him on the shoulder.

"Today's prince is still a prince after all. Since he has shown his resolute attitude to protect Changle Yuan, he does not have to go to the public for the time being. As for some activities in the shadows, I have other arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it. Jing Xing, go back and gather your henchmen, come to Chang'an City to check the whereabouts of the Weihe thieves....... ”

The young Lantian County Commander was a little confused again. Compared with Liu Quyak's methods, he is indeed too tender.

"In Chang'an City...... Where will thieves go? What's more, there is a Chang'an order here. The Lantian County Government went to the city to handle the case...... Where does this begin? ”

"Of course he has! Just do it. ”

Jing Xing saw that Liu Quyak had a displeased look on his face, and he didn't dare to say anything more. Then he lowered his head and asked cautiously.

"But there has to be a goal, right? I don't know...... Where is the target of the search in Chang'an City? ”

"Anguo Marquis Mansion!"

Liu Quyak spit out four words categorically. And Lantian County Ling was dumbfounded, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he couldn't believe it.

"Uncle, are you sure...... Do you want to move the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion?"

Liu Quyak's eyes flashed and he nodded affirmatively. It was a decision he made after receiving the latest news from thousands of miles away. If he had arranged everything before, he wanted to use Changle Yuan as a breakthrough in order to obtain the greatest benefits after Yuan Zhao's death. Then, the one that has just been made to launch in Chang'an City with the goal of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion will be the one who points to Liu Juye, the prince of the Han Dynasty!

"Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, it's going to change! Hahaha! We must launch in Chang'an in advance and take the lead, so that we can occupy the most important position in the new court in the future......! ”

In the proud laughter of this great Han Shangshuling, black clouds began to gather in the sky over Chang'an, and the rain and wind were fierce.

And at the same moment, Cui Hong, who had not untied the heavy sword since entering Chang'an, jumped to the highest place in the Hou Mansion, watched with his hands in his hands, and faintly sensed the murderous aura coming from the wind.
