In the city of Luodu, the heavy snow that fell one after another became thicker and thicker, completely masking the smell of blood and corpses that permeated the air.

As the only remaining façade of the imperial court, in the Zihuan Palace, which had just been washed and re-varnished, under the gaze of the sparse courtiers, I don't know if it was because of the cold or because of fear The Tang Dynasty was trembling.

This white-skinned majesty, under the supervision of his close attendants and subordinates on the left and right, with all kinds of eyes and expressions, is like a marionette, with extremely high efficiency, issuing edicts that determine the fate and future of countless people.

Finally got up to the moment of retreat, with the figure of the head of the court, disappeared outside the gate of the hall from the corridor, and hurriedly rushed up left and right, and the idle Fu is still today but it is rare to be diligent in government, and the Son of Heaven, who has almost lost his strength, supported it,

The rest of the courtiers also sighed, and their faces slowly recovered from the blue and white of corpses, at least there were no dead people in the palace today, and they could live one more day in fear and anxiety.

With the flow of people retreating from the court, it was like a silent and cautious group, followed by the figure, and there was not much voice of speech among them, so that on the steps in the cold wind, there was the chaotic footsteps of the court officials.

After passing through the gates and palaces, the figure finally stopped, and there was only a group of real henchmen and team members left around him.

As a generation of powerful ministers who independently occupied the Central Plains and commanded the north and south of the Great River, acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven, he also had a considerable team to perform the basic functions of the operation of the country in various capacities of the court or under the scenes.

It is also the famous Liang Gong who taught the law hundreds of years ago, known as the left and right three rates, six Cao Shilang generals, five long histories inside and outside, and a pattern of five Xiao, four talented and thirteen friends under his command.

The Longwu military system founded by Liang Gongyi, in this era of hundreds of years of change, has also left a strong imprint and traces, so that more than 100 years after the Yiwei Rebellion, it is known as the history of the Longwu Army's civil war, and most of the old military towns that have continued to this day also claim to have inherited the origin of the Longwu Army.

Even as a powerful minister above the Son of Heaven for three generations, he is not exempt from vulgarity, at least when the ancestor of the Zhang family was a wealthy and powerful family in Guazhou, he was ordered by Duke Liang, and he was promoted to be the deputy envoy of Guasha.

Later, Liang Gong led the five armies, six guards and 100,000 athletes to open up the territory, and the children of the Zhang family had many scenes, and after the class division was far away, they scattered in the northwest provinces, and then became a general's family, including the ancestor of this branch, Zhang Yichaogong, so he also climbed a little dragon and martial origin.

Therefore, under the door of the ministers, they are also known as the four raisers and ten athletes, the six generals, the strategists and ministers of the east, west and inner government three classes, and there are five sections, and the nineteen towns are guarded as wings, dominating the Central Plains and the roads, across the north and south of the Huanghuai River.

And at the beginning, his father, with the various departments of the Western Army of the King of Qin, escorted the Chengguang Son of Heaven from the Northern Tang Dynasty, when he returned to Luodu, he was just one of the ways to return to the command of the righteous army, a small former Ma Du Lieutenant, because of his burly appearance and fierce and good at fighting, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven at that time, the point was to pick up in front of the palace, and the athletes of the Western Army were selected to serve as the five mansions and three guards.

Then, in the siege of Luodu, which was invaded by the East China Sea Domain, he counterattacked the Sea Domain Army, which claimed to be 100,000 on land and water, and became famous in one fell swoop, laying the family background and foundation of the Zhang family's autocratic capital and even the Central Plains of Hanoi.

He spent almost the first half of his life fighting, since taking over the position of his father and brother who died violently one after another, he has been constantly fighting with all kinds of unruly military towns, fighting with those sea clans who are eyeing each other, fighting with those careerists and dissidents in the court, and like those loyal ministers and righteous men who have naïve fantasies and shouting to help the Tang Dynasty, and conquer those mobs and thieves who are hungry and cold.

Step by step, they are turned into dry bones under their feet, or tamed into groveling lackeys and eagle dogs, and they have also established an awe-inspiring reputation and deeds such as recklessness in the world.

Looking at the columns of armored soldiers standing in the fluttering snow, towering like iron spears and sculptures, what gold and purple crown belts, flag umbrella canopies, all of which are out of time and disillusioned, these are the foundation of his life.

When was he befriended by the comfort and comfort of living in the center of the court and the omnipresence of sycophancy, which eroded his ambition and vigilance, so that the foundation of the Zhang clan was almost succeeded in counterattacking by the covetous countercurrent.

For this reason, he even admired the scholars and scholars who initiated this earth-shattering catastrophe, although only as a tool to be used and bewitched.

However, with their meager strength, they could burst out with such astonishing energy and chaos under the strict suppression of almost ten thousand horses, that they almost succeeded in overthrowing the rule of the Quan Clan.

He still remembered the young face who had been in front of him, tripped over by the generals who were desperately guarding, and then drowned in the axe of the sword. It is a pity that such a passionate and talented person can only be hidden in the two schools for a long time, but he cannot be used by his own family.

Just appreciate and admire, his position as a regent, these conspirators must die, their relatives and associates must be severely and cruelly attacked, in order to awaken the inside and outside, and consolidate the authority.

It wasn't until the general trend was set that he decided to change his original intention and issued a warrant to arrest these remnants of the rebel party who had absconded.

Perhaps it is time for a change, for the sake of the Zhang family's hegemony, it is necessary to absorb more new blood and talents, rather than for the sake of loyalty and reliability, and let some mediocre clansmen pro-party and occupy important positions for a long time.

This time, as the eyes and ears of the Zhang family, the Dugi Mansion, the Liutai Division or the traditional staff department, did not receive any rumors and omens, which was obviously an extremely strict warning.

But what bothered him even more was that his sons played a role after this rebellion, and you must know that it took him more than 20 years of work to make the majority of people in this Luo Du generally regard the replacement of the Son of Heaven as an insensitive habit and old habit.

But obviously, as their own children and grandchildren, they can't wait to be behind them, and using this opportunity to link, even he can't help but feel pressure and helplessness.

His original concept was very simple, after reaching the status of the Duke of Liang in history, he would hold the throne of the Son of Heaven high and monopolize it, continue to dictate until death, and then retreat overseas, or go further, and do manipulation and recklessness are all things behind him, but now it is obviously impossible.

Half a day before:

"Forget those clans, who ordered you to kill all the clans......

The roar of the ministers resounded in the temporary military tents.

"That's what I claim...... Daddy......"

A voice replied

"So that you can make up your mind to put ......"

This conversation that took place between the father and son of the powerful minister decided the fate of the man who was about to sit on the throne soon after.

After reviewing the princes, the minister finally returned to the mansion in the inner city, where his important family members and confidants were also waiting for his judgment to decide the interests of their clan.

A warm smoker has been built here, and the water vapor with the smell of incense and medicine is slowly evaporating from the pottery hole floor tiles, driving away the cold of the body little by little.

The few palace people and eunuchs who were standing next to him didn't make a sound, secretly looking at the facial expressions of the ministers and the subtle movements of his teacups, waiting for the next instructions.

After a while, Tongzhongshu was brought in by the three products of the sect, who participated in the governor's political affairs and high potential. Gao Qian is a burly, beardless middle-aged man, although he is in his forties, he only looks like he is in his early thirties due to good maintenance and ruddy skin.

As a specially trained and nurtured gifted person. They all knew what the Lord would do to the High Diving Chamber, but they didn't see any instructions from the Lord and didn't dare to avoid it automatically.

These palace and eunuchs did not need to wait for the ministers to speak, and they would act according to the slightest movement of his eyebrows and eyes, lips or beard, exactly as he wanted.

When the minister's eyes just left the teacup, a palace man immediately took a step forward, took the teacup with both hands holding a pile of lacquer and gold plates, and walked out carefully, and the rest of the palace and eunuchs all tiptoed out within a second or two.

"I just need you to be right."

Quan Chen took a sip of soup and said in a low voice

"The indiscriminate killing of the clan is just a private vent of anger by Lingbao Gong......"

As the side of the minister, one of the few cronies and humerus, Gao Qian said lightly

"It's a pretext to persuade or something......"

At this point, he naturally didn't need to completely point out that the son of this scheming and ambitious minister, because of a big mistake in the Cao camp under his command, they played a game for people in Dongshuimen, and finally played a bluff fireboat formation, and ran away from a group of unknown remnants.

In addition, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and not only were more than 100 rebels temporarily detained at Zenkoji Temple and preparing to severely punish the law, but also some of the key figures on these lists in the two generations also disappeared.

This was undoubtedly a blow to him, and he had to use more radical methods to force himself and his people to take a further position.

After all, what kind of Shangshu, what kind of servant, what kind of doctor, even if it is as respectful as the prime minister and privy secret, it is just a piece of Xuan hemp paper that Ouchi can ask for anytime and anywhere.

What princes, princes, uncles, and men are also worthless because of the abuse of the past dynasties, the real key and important thing is his identity and bloodline as the first powerful courtier in the world, so that he can't wait to see the scene of his own dedication in his father's lifetime, but it is just a reenactment of the story of staying in the palace in Taiyuan.

(Huang is the color of the heavenly family, and Taiyuan stays in the palace, which comes from Li Yuan's army, and the people who enter the palace of Xingyang Emperor left and right, and want to decide their hearts)

A few days later, in addition to the Lingbao Gong (the second son of the minister) as the left servant of Shangshu, the army was guarded, and the Tianning army was released as the envoy of the Tianning Army, which was a big town in Hebei and one of the few strong military towns, which was an important wing of the regent faction.

However, for the powerful ministers who reorganized the dynasty after the chaos, wantonly liquidated the chaotic party, and urgently needed their cronies to strengthen the central control power, it meant another signal.

This powerful Lingbao Duke and his faction have begun to fall out of favor in front of the regent, and they are very dissatisfied with his actions and methods in Luodu.

After all, the accident that happened in Watergate, with the fire and loud noise rising in the dark night, almost half of the city could feel it, even if it was made up for and intimidated by tyrannical means afterwards, it would be useless.

And he used the roughest and worst means to cover up. As a result, even the Cao Army and the Unity Army, which were the basic forces of his power, were deprived in disguise.

As the dust of the parties settled, the power struggle of the Luodu Revolution also came to an end.
