In Chang'an, the crowd that retreated from the dynasty was also discussing.

"The Holy Lord has been on the pilgrimage for more than a month..."

"It's not like that.,It's been more than a month.。。 It's still early every day.,And I don't retire early.。。 ”

"God is pitiful, it is really the hope that the court will cheer up, and the state affairs will be revived."

For those of them who have become accustomed to the style of this young emperor, who have been playing and changing tricks since his accession to the throne, and who have to show their faces only when they are on important matters, it is like a rare thing for the sun to come out in the west.

Some people are certainly happy to have tears in their eyes or tears, and it is hoped that the ancestors and ancestors will bless the country. This holy lord has finally opened up and understood, and he understands the important affairs of the country and no longer pays the hands of eunuchs. Or he is tired of the fun time in the harem with the eunuchs, and wants to cheer up.

Of course, there are naturally some people who are panicked as if the sky is falling; For they also heard another rumor, that is, the reason why the Son of Heaven suddenly became diligent was that the inner treasury and the palace were already empty, and there was not much money for the Son of Heaven to enjoy and amuse.

Therefore, in all kinds of situations that can't be done, even Tian Lingzi, the eldest father who has always been closest to the Son of Heaven, can't help but complain and hang up when it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and since then he has rarely appeared in front of people, and it is even said that there is a risk of falling out of favor.

The reason why the Son of Heaven became diligent was that he wanted to supervise and drive his ministers through the court meeting, so that he planned to make more money for the country.

In the meantime, the biggest news in the outside world is that the loyal army, which is one of the barriers of the eastern capital, made Zhou Qi, and led the troops to be killed. You must know that although the Zhongwu Army has a history of domineering and civil strife, it is one of the models of loyalty to the imperial court among the towns of the Kanto region.

Therefore, the sudden death of such a vassal who was personally subordinate to the imperial court inevitably caused the "inexplicable differences" between the various feudal towns in the Kanto region, and they all inquired about the beginning and end of this matter through their respective envoys to the concert and the palace. There are even military towns in Heshuo and other areas that are willing to share the worries of the imperial court and sweep away the remnants of the rebellion under the rule of the loyal army.

However, Zheng Xianggong and Cui Liu, the chief and deputy commanders of Luodu, were not fuel-efficient lamps, and they quickly resolved these foreign town marshals who were originally different in their minds through strategic negotiations and deterrence.

Inside, Yang Fugong, the supervising army envoy who recruited the camp, personally entered the camp and sat in the garrison of the loyal army in Xuzhou. not only cleaned the old cadres of the Zhou family, but also divided the remaining loyal army into eight divisions, known as the eight generals of loyalty and martial arts; Lu Yanhong and other generals were also accepted as fake sons, and since then the turmoil of killing the commander and the whole army has been eliminated.

In addition, it is this Xiao Yang Metropolitan Eunuch, who is known as a fake son all over the Kanto, who has just come from the Kanto feudal towns to ask for a large amount of money; Along the Baigou and Bianshui roads, they were added one after another, and more than 40 ships of goods were fully loaded.

However, this entry was immediately intercepted by Zheng Xianggong, who was sitting in the eastern capital and presiding over the preparation. In the end, the only thing that could reach the still water pool outside the west of Jingshi was the worship of the five boats.

And they are all ordinary rice cloth utensils and other local tribute, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the consistent expenses in the palace. Therefore, this son of heaven, who has never been in a hurry, rarely lost his temper at the court meeting, and almost did not directly call his generation a rebel and a national thief.

But what followed was a bit unexpected. There was no one in the huge court, so he was punished or belittled by the young emperor's anger.

This son of heaven not only pinched his nose to accept this reality, but also further announced that he would reduce the use of the palace, and dismiss those palace people who were full of vain and indiscriminate books such as Wufang children.

This also made some foreign courtiers who thought that the court's loyalty and conscience were located, see some hope and turning point, and become active. And this kind of undercurrent and tide has become the pressure and hidden worries of many eunuchs in Ouchi. Especially as the backbone of the Xinguan Group, after being sick at home for a while.

However, in the Tian family's mansion outside the palace, there was a cheerful and frolicking atmosphere of singing and dancing. Especially the music classes that Tian Lingzi likes, they have never stopped almost all day long.

is in the silk and bamboo, and the singing is endless;

"What are you panicking about, the sky in Chang'an hasn't fallen yet."

Tian Lingzi, who is well-dressed and well-maintained, is facing Chen Jingxun, the younger brother of Taichang Temple, who is the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and he is calm and relaxed.

"However, now that the Holy Lord is diligent in the court, he has become more and more intimate with the foreign ministers like this, so how can there be room for my generation to serve and act."

As the adopted son of the Tian family and a henchman, Wei Kuangyou, the general of the Right Prison Gate, hesitated.

"Look at what you are talking about, no matter whether you are slacking off or being diligent in government, as long as it is the desire of the saint, shouldn't we, slaves and maids, try our best to flatter and conform to it?"

Tian Lingzi couldn't help but squint his eyes and scolded meaningfully.

"Besides, this saint has been very playful since he was a child; Even if we become extra diligent and energetic at the moment, it may not last long. And you will see how it will be in a little while, sooner or later, you will gradually slack off and slow down. ”

"In other words, if you want to say that the most conforming to the thoughts of this holy lord in the world, only these close ministers such as us, are they still closer to those ministers who are restrained and restrained everywhere. It's just that now my generation is here to be the target of everyone, so why rush to come out of this. ”

"You don't see that Xianggong Doulu, who has always been a promise, is already dissatisfied with being a companion prime minister, so he is counting on the thieves who are ravaging Huainan under the appeasement as an advance that overwhelms Lu Zisheng. Although let Yang Datou and they go to pick it up. ”

"Jane's way of being a gentleman is not a momentary performance that relies on rushing ahead in everything. It is also necessary to be considerate and thoughtful to be able to stand up in a timely manner to solve problems for the owner. Don't see, no matter how great the credit and reputation of the two Yang people and others are great, why are they still overpowering me and being controlled in everything? ”

"Just because of what they are dedicated to the public, but they are not all for the sake of the mind and position of the master."

After appeasing these henchmen and relatives, Tian Lingzi changed his calm and generous attitude, and called another henchman with a cold face and ordered:

"Find a few proper ways to let out all the news, especially those who are marshals in other towns and palaces; It is said that the imperial court has decided to grant land to the king of Huang Shunfeng, and sent it to Lu Long, Chengde, Ziqing, and Wei Bo. ”

。。。。。。。

And on the south bank of Huaishui, in the camp of the righteous army on the North Road under Shanyang City.

"The Taiping army has begun to pull out the camp and move south? That's great news. ”

The deputy chief manager still raised his eyebrows and raised his glass proudly.

"That monk is a natural calamity; How can this thing go around and around and have something to do with the military government? Now look at what credentials he still has to come to me and make it difficult for me... ”

"Please also ask the manager to be cautious in front of people, this is a clue that my generation finally found out. Don't commit the taboo of the Yellow King because you don't keep it secret, after all, this is an ugly matter related to the king's family. ”

As Shang Rang's mastermind and staff member, Lin Guiwu frowned.

"If you commit it, you will commit it, I just want him to be good-looking; For no reason, let me carry these unwarranted disasters and blames, don't you still allow people to criticize two sentences? If you don't take this to show your attitude, you won't be treated as a soft egg that you can pinch at will. ”

Shang Rang waved his hand more and more firmly.

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way and method."

In the camp being demolished in Shangdu Town, Zhou Huai'an was also watching the team that went to Zhao Zhang with great concern.

Because in the two days of this messenger exchange, the general's palace almost cut through the mess with a quick knife, and accepted most of the conditions of the negotiation, even including the last additional clause proposed by Zhou Huai'an temporarily; Therefore, the Taiping Army's action this time was anticlimactic because of the changes in righteousness and status conditions.

"Is that really so determined to hand people over?"

Zhu Zheng also sighed beside him.

"Brother Zhu thinks what will I do, hang people with thousands of knives and show them to the public, do you have a good breath?。。 Although the military government can't think about me for a while, how much benefit will it bring to the actual situation of the army? ”

Zhou Huai'an smiled and said, but he looked at the handwritten handwriting of Huang Chao who was pinching.

"On the contrary, I can use a little gain or loss in my personal face to strive for a more relaxed and convenient environment for our army, and even obtain the corresponding valuable talent selection and gather more like-minded people, which is the long-term way to develop the cause."

However, this is only one of the main aspects, and what is more important for Zhou Huai'an is the attitude and position that Huang Chao has shown in this way, and even the corresponding pattern and strength behind it.

"The leader is really frank and selfless, which makes me feel ashamed."

Zhu Cun also had a little regret in his heart, and sighed unconsciously; This is really the absolute will and calculation that can do what others can't. If you are at the end of your own affairs, I am afraid that there will be no such transcendent city and pattern.

Of course, although it is said that the great cause is important, Zhou Huai'an will not be merciful to those who dare to offend him, and the process of interrogation and torture will still have to go through several rounds. To ensure that even the captives who had to be returned with all their limbs as a condition and agreement were reused with the corresponding value of waste.

As far as the dark side of the Taiping Army is unavoidable, there are really ways and means to create corresponding pain and psychological shadows without obviously harming the body, and even to discard people mentally and physically.

Next, what Zhou Huai'an needs to treat and deal with carefully is another party who has suffered deeply.
