In the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone spent the bloody storm.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone spent their time fidgeting.

Who knows if his man will be able to survive when he returns to the court, and who knows to what extent this matter will be implicated?

But the old emperor didn't seem to be affected by this incident, and he was still happy when it was time to celebrate the festival.

Even on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he took the queen mother and concubines to the royal temple to pray for blessings.

The people below trembled, but the people in the high positions acted as if nothing had happened.

Looking at the old emperor's attitude, those officials who were killed by Duanmu Qing as a threat seemed innocent!

The officials below the fourth rank are basically gone, and some of the officials above the fourth rank are injured, some are disabled, and the remaining part are full of hands and feet, and the shadow in their hearts is so big that I am afraid it will affect them for a long time.

The living people are okay, and there is still a chance to return to the court, and the dead part of the people, the gloomy atmosphere is shrouded in the sky over the capital, and the place where the New Year should be lively is lifeless.

The people don't need to know much.

Although the funeral for the New Year is unlucky, the deceased is great!

When the people saw these so-called dignitaries and nobles changing the red lanterns at the door to white, all kinds of rumors spread from the capital!

At the end of the year, it is the time for officials to evaluate their performance and allocate positions.

Now, there are nearly half of the officials in the court, and you can guess it without thinking about it.

There are a few people who don't care, after all, the turmoil of the court is related to their lives, and they don't feel anything on weekdays, but when a country's political situation is unstable and may even overturn, it has something to do with them.

The people are not fools!

If only one or two died, it could only be said to be fate, but at first glance, there were white lanterns everywhere in the capital, then there was a problem!

Gradually, there were rumors in the market that the old emperor did not go to the royal temple to pray for blessings, but to overtake those dead ministers, after all, so many people died because of him, and he was uneasy!

Who said that the superior is the chosen one from heaven and is not afraid of gods and ghosts?

As long as you do something wrong, you will have a ghost in your heart!

Such a rumor could spread throughout the capital in just half a day, and then spread throughout the dynasty.

But the old emperor had no intention of stopping it.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the pension was distributed.

These ministers can also be regarded as having died in the line of duty, and they have meritorious service in escorting, so the old emperor must also express it, so as not to chill the hearts of the courtiers.

Therefore, for the first time since the beginning of the dynasty, there has been a collective distribution of pensions, and it is still during the Chinese New Year.

The old emperor was at ease, but the families of the dead courtiers fell into grief!

This gloomy atmosphere was maintained until the year later, when the old emperor opened the seal!

Half of the people were missing, and the hall seemed empty.

There were a few people standing below who still had injuries on their bodies, but fortunately they were all minor injuries.

Come to think of it, the seriously injured are all in bed.

No one dared to speak, just listening to the old emperor chattering on it.

What Duanmu Qing committed was different from the second prince.

Although the second prince is also for the position of the crown prince, it is his brother who can be calculated.

But Duanmu Qing did it directly to the old emperor!

The nature of the two is different, and the natural ending is not the same.

The second prince guarded the emperor's mausoleum, and the third highness died directly!

Rao is old emperor values this son again, in the face of absolute rights and absolute interests, everything is bullshit!

What's more, his son almost killed him!

As soon as Duanmu Qing fell, the people who followed him naturally did not end well, and the first to bear the brunt was General Weiyuan's family!

Directly slash the whole door, and even the nine clans!

Kill what deserves to be killed, exile deserve to be exiled, and deserve to be a military prostitute!

Those strategists who followed Duanmuqing were naturally not as lucky as those who followed the second prince's plans!

The new year has just begun, and it is a big wash!

Those who used to stand in Duanmuqing, no matter how many officials you are, no matter what credit you have made, the old emperor would rather miss it than let it go, and don't want anyone who is suspicious.

As for the vacant spots......

According to the results of last year's scientific examination, starting from the cut-off ranking, more than a dozen more people will be recruited to fill the vacancies of officials below the seventh grade, and the rest will be discussed after the end of this year's scientific examination.

This initiative has undoubtedly given more students hope.

The remaining two princes.

The eldest prince still goes to court every day without a sense of existence, and he is not close to the courtiers, anyway, in the eyes of these courtiers, he has always been the invisible one.

The injured four princes are still recuperating in the prince's mansion, and the people in the rivers and lakes who have made "great" contributions before waved their sleeves and did not take away a single cloud, and immediately dispersed, even those few organized sect disciples also left quietly.

seems to know the "rules" very well, but in fact, it also shows the caution of the four princes from the side.

Regardless of whether this caution is a peep into the throne or a suspicion of the old emperor, in short, the four princes are very cautious.

Of course, it's not over yet!

King Lu!

Now that he knows King Lu's thoughts, how could the old emperor let go of such a good opportunity?

King Jing was directly beheaded!

Just like the other brothers of the old emperor, they chose an "auspicious day of the zodiac" and were beheaded in the vegetable market!

I don't know if this was done by the old emperor for King Lu to see, or if it was completely to vent his personal anger.

A prince, like a prisoner, was beheaded cheaply in public, and his body was thrown directly into the mass grave.

This is very insulting!

Not to mention entering the ancestral tomb of the royal family, at least find a decent place to be buried.

Mass graves?

What kind of place is that, this is the way to directly cut off the reincarnation of King Jing!

It's not over yet!

King Lu!

The old emperor's heart is in trouble!

Those spies who were put into the two fiefdoms by him, dead to death, escorted back by escort back!

No one knows when the old emperor did these things, but after a year, many things are different.

For example, Shen Jiajun!

Shen Jiajun left the capital a few months ago, to be precise, after finding Qiao Yixi's body, Shen Jiajun left the capital, passed through Shuzhou, and went straight to southern Xinjiang.

Of course, Shuzhou, as the base camp of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, has new blood injected into the Shen family army every year, and this year is no exception.

As usual, the new Shen family army is dominated by young men from Shuzhou, after all, this is the pride of Shuzhou people.

After passing multiple screenings such as background checks and physical fitness tests, they were selected into the reserves of the Shen Family Army, and then, after half a year to a year of rigorous training, the last people who stayed behind could enter the Shen Family Army.

Such a strict screening not only did not discourage the hot-blooded men, on the contrary, every year when the army recruits, the number of people who sign up for the Shen family army is the most, of course, there will be a strict background check on these people, after all, it is related to the safety of southern Xinjiang, the survival of the Shen family army, and the life and death of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion!

This time, Shen Jiajun left the capital and took away the children who had been placed in the villa by Qiao Lixi before.

As for the legendary private horse farm of the Marquis of Zhenyuan......

That's interesting to say.

Before, the second prince "accidentally" discovered the horse farm where the Marquis of Zhenyuan was stationed in the suburbs of Jincheng and found the entrance, but he was unlucky and never found a way to open the door.

After that, other forces quietly sent spies to try it, but these people either disappeared into the mountains silently, or finally came out, and they were too delirious to ask for any news from their mouths.

I don't know if the old emperor gave up, or if he had other plans, and he didn't target the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the Shen family army again, and the affairs of the army were temporarily under the full responsibility of the Marquis of Zhenyuan!

You must know that in order to guard against the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the old emperor distributed the rights in the army to a few first-class generals, for example, General Weiyuan, who helped Duanmu Qing force the palace!

The talisman is in the hands of the old emperor, and the rights of the military camp are divided into several parts, one in the hands of one person, but there is no share of Gu Jinzhen, who is also a first-class general.

The old emperor's attitude made everyone see some signs, but in extraordinary times, no one dared to draw conclusions.

Isn't the lesson of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner enough?

King Lu!

I don't know where and when the rumors came that King Lu was in Jincheng!

This makes the situation even more difficult for everyone to see!

The Marquis of Zhenyuan should be the person that King Lu fears the most.

When King Lu seized the throne, he did not try to win over the Marquis of Zhenyuan, but the Marquis of Zhenyuan was an absolute royalist, and whoever became the emperor would be loyal to him and would not participate in anything else.

Now, even if the contradiction between the old emperor and the Marquis of Zhenyuan is known to the world, King Kelu does not dare to take the path of the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

Because the world also knows that no matter how deep the contradiction between the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the old emperor is, as long as the old emperor does not kill the people of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion, the Marquis of Zhenyuan is loyal to the emperor.

It has nothing to do with Yuzhong, what the Marquis of Zhenyuan really cares about is only the Jiangshan Sheji of the Dynasty and the people of the Dynasty.

So, why did King Lu appear in Jincheng?

Whether it was before or now, King Lu avoided the Marquis of Zhenyuan, why did he hide in Jincheng?

This news came inexplicably, but the speed of transmission was extremely fast, and the old emperor got the news in the first time.

Sitting on the dragon chair, the old emperor's eyes were gloomy.

Wei Ping didn't dare to come out.

The matter of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he still has palpitations when he thinks about it now.

Unexpectedly, the high-spirited third prince and the self-confident second prince withdrew from the team of candidates for the prince in the blink of an eye.

This also made the emperor's suspicion even more inflated, and he became more and more defensive of the remaining two sons.

Choosing one of the two, half and half of the chance, it seems that the difficulty has been reduced, but it is even more difficult for everyone to stand in line.

was calculated and betrayed by his own sons one after another, and the emperor's attitude towards the remaining two sons was confusing.

Wei Ping shuddered for no reason.

Thinking of that man's methods, Wei Ping rejoiced.

When the man found him, he nodded without hesitation.

Originally, he wanted to leave an extra way for himself, but he didn't expect that by mistake, he would cut a way to live.

Now that you have embarked on this path, there is no other choice but to go down!
