Draw your sword and pierce your heart.

Li Ruyu didn't hesitate, but he had never been so heavy.

Shen Lian seeks benevolence and benevolence.

With his death, the death knell of the family was sounded.

Li Ruyu looked at the woman beside him with a somewhat complicated expression.

At the moment when the sword was drawn, the woman pressed on her hands that seemed to have no bones, and were more slippery than bean flowers, and suddenly squeezed them with force.

Then it was easy to open again.

There were a few red marks on his hands that had been scraped by his fingernails.

At that moment, she didn't want Shen Lian to die.

Li Ruyu became more and more unable to see through.

She is the Empress of Da Liang, the woman who has never given birth to a prince for His Majesty Shunzong, not even a princess, but who can be killed from the harem and ascend to the throne of the Son of Heaven in the sixth palace.

Whether she has killed anyone with her own hands, Li Ruyu doesn't know.

But the people who died directly or indirectly at her hands were not 50,000 but 30,000.

Not to mention how many strangers have been wiped out in the past 12 years, just in the first year of Yong'an, tens of thousands of people died under the butcher's knife.

Would she care about a mere Shen Lian?

Today's events, looking deeper, are they not a trick she will calculate.

The woman rubbed her shoulders with some chills.

Thoughts drift away.

It was a quiet and noisy morning, a hazy drizzle shrouded Lin'an, and the man in front of the bed had run out of oil and dried up, half lying on the bed and looking at himself quietly.

The eyes are doting, and sad.

There was no one around, and everyone was pushed back.

He said, I know what you want, but can you really bear it?

I just nodded.

And he said, I gave you whatever you wanted before, and this time, I will still give it to you, because ah...... The man who ran out of oil and the lamp spat out a mouthful of blood.

Because I love you.

In the future, Da Liang will be handed over to you, and after you will be a hundred years old, will you return to the Zhao family?

I just nodded with tears in my eyes.

Deceived him.

He already knew, and said with a smile Don't blame you, just don't cut off the Zhao family's incense, I hope that under Jiuquan, when you and I meet again, you can describe to me the world behind the snow-capped mountains, the swamps and the sea.

The man spoke, spitting blood.

It is said that since Taizu established the country, formulated the national policy of governing the world with the literati, and vigorously promoted the imperial examination, he wanted to completely suppress the family and build a world where the Zhao family was the same and the world was the same, I can't do it, what about you?

Silently, then nodded.

The man finally said, the only thing I don't worry about is that the king is in the world, the high place is cold, and you are cold.

In the future, please take care.

The man just went, without a hint of resentment.

At that moment, I was never in love, and I really fell in love with the man who had a mediocre life and finally died at his own hands.

……

……

As soon as the empress changed her normality, she returned to Lin'an that night.

On the second day, there was a sudden storm in Lin'an.

The news from the forbidden army and the Fusi of the North and South Towns is sensational, since the expulsion of the Shen family, Shen Lian, the deputy of the former Fusi of the North Town, returned to Lin'an from Jiankang, lurked in the field for half a month, and took the opportunity to assassinate the empress last night.

Although there was Li Ruyu escorted by the Hanlin Academy, he killed Shen Lian with his own hands.

But the empress was frightened.

A series of decrees followed, which confirmed the news even more.

First of all, at the behest of the empress, Nanzhen Fusi rode through the mansion, imprisoned the Shen Mansion overnight, thoroughly searched the Shen Mansion, and did not have the slightest mercy on the Hanlin bachelor who had suffered a stroke and was bedridden.

It's just that this old man is well treated in the Nanzhen Fusi Prison, and he is guarded by the imperial doctor for twelve hours.

Same.

After the decree was issued, the senior generals of the Nanbei Zhenfu Division and the forbidden army in charge of the area around the Jade Emperor Mountain were demoted or transferred to other departments to take up idle posts, and even more, one of the forbidden troops in charge of the inventory near Jitian was directly beheaded on charges of negligence, and among the soldiers of the forbidden army under his jurisdiction, six were beheaded and sixteen were assigned to the north to fill the army.

And Zhao Jin, the commander of the Fusi of the southern town, Zhao Xin, the commander of the Fusi of the northern town, and the commander of the forbidden army, were also severely punished by Her Majesty the Empress, and each was demoted to a one-order official position.

Fortunately, they are all military officials, which does not affect the actual control of these three bigwigs over the North and South Suppression Division and the Forbidden Army.

On the same day, the North and South Zhenfu Divisions and the forbidden army went out to search for Shen Lian's party throughout the city.

On the same day, the Hanlin Academy, Beizhen Fusi Xiaoqi, and the prince accompanied Li Ruyu, who had meritorious service in escorting, was awarded the rank of Seventh Rank Martial Cavalry Captain, and was awarded the rank of Lieutenant from the Sixth Rank Martial Arts Officer.

This further confirmed the assassination of the empress.

Three days later, after Nanzhen Fusi thoroughly investigated the Shen family, he reported to the empress that Shen Lian's assassination was caused by Shen Zhiyin, and there was no one involved in the Shen Mansion.

The empress stayed in the middle and did not send it.

The old minister Hanlin promised Shen Qi to play in his illness, blamed himself for teaching the powerlessness of the officials, and was willing to ask for guilt.

The empress stayed in the middle and did not send it.

Shen Qi played again.

The empress is still in the middle and does not send it.

Shen Qi played three folds.

The empress agreed.

Shen Qi Zhishi, a dignified and upright scholar of Hanlin, did not even get a placement position in a certain palace, and led the Shen Mansion to leave Lin'an gloomily.

After that, the Shen family was an official in the court, and they paid tribute one after another.

The famous Shen family withdrew from the historical stage of Daliang.

It is fortunate that the Shen family is not held accountable, if it is pursued deeply, the Shen family is afraid that they will lose a bunch of heads.

In the eyes of all the people in the cool world, the empress is extremely benevolent,

In Li Ruyu's opinion, the Shen family's luck is due to Shen Lian's death, and in the Yanyun War not long after, I don't know how many people will die in these families.

But that's just the beginning.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad.

The news spread, and everyone in the family of the gate valve in the cool world was in danger.

Everyone knows that there must be a greasy thing in this.

The Northern and Southern Zhenfu Division, plus the forbidden army, and the Jade Emperor Mountain, which has been swept by the soldiers, will only miss a Shen Lian?

And Zhao Xin and the other three empress henchmen, in fact, in this turmoil, did not hurt the bones at all, and the demoted were all military officials who did not affect the actual control of the large department.

For a while, famous families have clamped their tails and behaved.

At this juncture, no one dared to provoke the empress's anger.

Those important ministers from the government and the opposition who were born in the family faintly saw through one point: the empress wanted to take the opportunity of being assassinated this time to suppress the famous families all over the Daliang court and the opposition.

Later, the empress instructed that Zongzheng Temple immediately executed, and the widows of the first emperor in Guangning Guanzhong were all repatriated to all ethnic groups.

A certain family in Jiankang was raided, and the pillars of his family were swept to the end, and even his fame was stripped away.

If it weren't for the news of the war in the north, the empress's anger didn't know how many people would be affected, just when the famous family secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked the Northern Barbarian Iron Rider for sending charcoal in the snow, the empress's next will suddenly made these gate valve families jump chickens and dogs.

Many upstarts in the government and the opposition, civil and military officials below the fourth rank of official rank, have been transferred to the north.

This is a red flag.

The reason why the famous family is a family is because of the endless number of young talents, constantly replacing the pillars who have retired from the center, if most of them die in this war, what does it mean?

Green and yellow!

In its place, it will be a talented man who is a big man this year.

Not surprisingly, this year's big move, the share of the poor talent will increase significantly.

In the first year of Yongzhen, the family was like a dog.
