Chapter 121 - Imperial Power

At the end of January of the third year of Guangqi, the news of the murder of Xizong came out, and the towns of the world were in an uproar, although they dared to attack Chang'an, dare to drive the emperor out of the palace, and even dare to set up a new monarch, but did they dare to kill the monarch?

The answer, of course, is no!

No matter how strong the feudal town is, they don't dare to kill the king at this time, and such a thing that defies the condemnation of the world will die for it, and there is no other ending.

At this time, although the Tang Dynasty has been walking on thin ice, but the residual power is still there, although there are many feudal towns in the world, there are still many people who are loyal to the royal family.

But what people didn't expect was that someone did this, and this person was still the emperor's closest eunuch, Tian Lingzi.

As soon as the news came out, Xichuan Jiedu made Chen Jingxuan unable to resist the pressure from the outside world, and arrested Tian Lingzi as soon as possible. After some scrutiny, the emperor was nowhere to be found, and most of them must have been killed.

Although Chen Jingxuan wanted to protect Tian Lingzi, he had no choice but to make the matter big, and the people were angry, and even the feudal towns raised troops, wanting to invade Xichuan in the name of revenge for the emperor.

In desperation, Chen Jingxuan could only show Tian Lingzi's head to the public and spread it to the world, which barely calmed down the people's anger.

And the puppet emperor Xiang of Chang'an City was also killed by the chaotic army in the chaos, and for a time Tang lost his deer, and the world chased him, and all the feudal towns were ready to move.

In February of the third year of Guangqi, the folk began to spread a nursery rhyme, "A Tang in the east, a Tang in the west, the west has set, the east is like the sunrise, the emperor leaves Chang'an, and then comes to Luoyang City." ”

At first, no one paid attention to it, nursery rhymes, they were all played by children, and those big people didn't have time to care about them.

In the same month of the same year, a meteorite fell from the sky on the outskirts of Luoyang, and King Shou sent troops to block the scene overnight, and excavated a boulder from it, which was written "The imperial power is given by God, and God gives King Shou." ”

On the same day, there were many visions in the sky over Luoyang City, and from time to time there were giant dragon groans in the city, and many people witnessed that there was a real dragon rising from Luoyang Imperial City, surrounding Luoyang City for several weeks, before slowly dissipating in the air.

Throughout the Tang Dynasty, there are all kinds of legends about King Shou is the real dragon son of heaven, and various versions of mythical stories are said by storytellers to be godly, and they are all in an uproar for a while, and everyone knows it.

"Master Qiao, your trick is really good, it's a pity not to be a god."

Xu Yong patted Qiao Xinchao's shoulder with a thief smile on his face.

Of course, where does the god come from in this world, everything is just Qiao Xinchao's behind-the-scenes operation, whether it is a meteorite falling from the sky, a dragon around Luoyang, or some other miracle, it is just a trick he played.

"General Xu laughed, if it weren't for the guidance of the prince and the adults, I wouldn't have been able to make such a big move, in fact, this matter has to be thanks to several great families in Luoyang City, if it weren't for borrowing their channels, we wouldn't have been able to make this matter so big, now almost the entire Tang Dynasty knows that the prince is the true dragon son of the Tang Dynasty, congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince." Qiao Xinchao rubbed his shoulder, which was a little painful, and said with a sneer.

Zhao Fan glanced at Qiao Xinchao appreciatively, and faintly felt in his heart that it would be very good if Qiao Xinchao was to be in charge of intelligence work.

During this period of time, Zhao Fan was of course involved in these overt and covert operations, and he also knew the importance of righteousness, in this era, people who occupy righteousness often have a great advantage.

For example, Liu Bang beheaded the white snake, and a discerning person knew at a glance that it was just a gimmick, but there was no way, everyone still ate this set, and finally Liu Bang also stood out from the many rebel armies and became the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Another example is Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, that is also to occupy a righteous name, Cao Cao, who has the Son of Heaven, has the most powerful capital, not only won the recognition of the scholars, but also won countless talents loyal to the Han Dynasty.

This is the importance of justifiably occupying righteousness, as a traverser, Zhao Fan naturally knows this.

What he wants to create for the people of the world is the feeling of imperial power, he not only has the will of the emperor, but also the important treasure of the country, and now with a variety of "miracles" and legends, after ascending the throne in the future, at least some people can be recognized, and further strengthen their legitimacy.

"Master Qiao, you don't have to be modest, you did a very good job this time, and this king is very satisfied."

Zhao Fan has never been a person who is stingy with praise, on the contrary, he recognizes the saying that praise will make people progress, and criticism cannot solve problems.

When Qiao Xinchao heard Zhao Fan praise himself, he was a little embarrassed, but he just smiled and didn't speak.

This is also what Zhao Fan likes most about Qiao Xinchao, this guy is never arrogant, he is very accurate in his positioning, and he always has an empty cup mentality.

"Old Qiao, I have an idea, I want to set up an intelligence department, the main job is to establish an intelligence system, analyze all the intelligence, control the dynamics of all the feudal towns, and deal with some other problems, this department will be handed over to you to be responsible, what do you think?"

"Huh? Lord Wang, this subordinate may not be able to do it? Qiao Xinchao was taken aback, and vaguely understood what Zhao Fan meant, this so-called intelligence department is probably not only external, but also internal.

After all, Zhao Fan was very impressed by the Ye family's incident last time, and the establishment of an intelligence system at such a time may have nothing to do with this matter, and even all this intelligence system is very likely to be mainly internal.

"What is incompetent, this king believes in your ability."

The reason why Zhao Fan chose Ran Qiao Xinchao to be in charge of this work is because in this incident, Qiao Xinchao showed great talent and was more suitable for this kind of intelligence coordination, and on the other hand, it was also because Zhao Fan trusted Qiao Xinchao more, so he would hand over such an important matter to him.

Since the last battle of the canyon, Zhao Fan personally went out and found him a family affair, and then took his old mother, who was already old, to Luoyang City, which also made Qiao Xinchao always grateful to him, and his heart became more and more loyal.

"Alright, that's it,"

Without waiting for Qiao Xinchao to refute, Zhao Fan made a decision and did not give Qiao Xinchao a chance to speak.

"It's... The subordinate officer received the order. Qiao Xinchao had no choice but to step forward to receive his order.

"After the king ascends the throne, we will unify and seal everyone, during this time, we must strengthen our defenses, and these surrounding feudal towns may attack Luoyang at any time."

"Du Xiang, the Qin Zongheng army outside the city has retreated, you arrange for the Tuntian army to go back to Tuntian first, don't miss the time for spring ploughing."

"Yes, lord." Everyone was overjoyed and agreed.

At the beginning of this chapter, it's time to enter the big map mode, and the previous play is officially over.
