Chapter 265: A Lamb to the Slaughter?
The appearance of the capital is like a bride to be married, and the glamorous appearance makes countless people forget to return.
The capital is the capital of the Northern Yuan Kingdom, and the people everywhere here are dignitaries, and the stalls on the streets here are full of jewels.
In the capital, whether you are the son of an official eunuch or a businessman, you don't dare to be presumptuous in the city at will. Because if you accidentally provoke a big person in the capital who is not well-known, it will be bad luck.
Restaurants, green buildings, jewelry stores, hotels.........
All kinds of industries can be seen everywhere in the capital, and prosperity spreads all over the corners of the capital.
The four city gates in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the capital are heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to be presumptuous at the city gates.
With the day Xu Muchuan received the holy decree, five days have quietly passed.
After five days of hurrying, Xu Muchuan and the others finally rushed from Nancheng to the gate of the capital.
The mighty five or six thousand elite soldiers lined up in a long line, and the magnificent momentum made the entire sky feel a little dim. The guards on the tower of the city gate were shocked and hurriedly reported to go.
Seeing that a large army was suddenly coming, the guards hurriedly closed the city gate, and the huge city gate was filled with a tense atmosphere.
The city wall, which is nearly ten meters high, blocks Xu Muchuan and others outside.
"This official is a minister of the Qin Mission, and he has returned to the capital by His Majesty's holy decree."
Xu Muchuan rode on top of the sweaty horse, and a light blue robe dragged down on the horse's belly. The golden holy decree held in Xu Muchuan's hand was extremely conspicuous in the eyes of the soldiers on the city tower.
After a while, a shout came from above the castle tower: "Your Excellency, please wait a moment, Rong Mo will report to Your Majesty." ”
"Okay, there's General Law." Xu Muchuan glanced at it from a distance, and saw a burly general wearing armor on the city tower, and responded loudly.
So, Xu Muchuan and his entourage of five or six thousand people were stationed at the gate of the city, waiting for the sound from the capital.
Five thousand Red Fire Army, as well as a cadre of Royal Forest Army soldiers, the momentum of this lineup is too surging. As the guard of the city gate, of course, for the sake of the safety of the imperial city, he can only report to the palace with the city gate closed and let the Emperor of Beiyuan decide.
Xu Muchuan gently tugged on the reins of the horse and slowly walked to a row of carriages in the center of the army.
Sitting in the carriage are the bigwigs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and when they return to the capital this time, there is naturally no reason to use the prison car to come back with a pampered boss! That would be a real joke.
"Lord Luo, let's finally arrive in the capital." Xu Muchuan opened the curtain of the carriage headed by himself, and said with a chuckle to Luo Yongkang, who was recuperating with his eyes closed in the car.
Luo Yongkang slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Xu Muchuan deeply, and then closed his eyes again, without saying a word.
Xu Muchuan pursed the corners of his lips slightly, lowered the curtain, and rode back to the front on his war horse.
Regarding Luo Yongkang's silent attitude, Xu Muchuan not only did not get angry, but felt that the chances of winning were one more point.
Because Luo Yongkang knew that he was in a weak wind, saying one more word would reduce his momentum, so it was better not to say it. This just shows that Luo Yongkang is very nervous and uneasy.
A long time, about an hour has passed.
The closed city gate slowly opened, and the clicking sound made Xu Muchuan and the others look sideways.
In an instant, the gates were completely opened. Looking around, Xu Muchuan saw a soldier wearing armor walking out of the city gate, and this soldier was the general guarding the gate.
"Your Majesty's dictation: The Red Fire Army should return to the army immediately, and there must be no mistake. The cadres of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the others went back to their homes to rest and waited for the summons. Xu Muchuan, the minister of the Qin Mission, immediately entered the palace and there must be no mistake. ”
The goalkeeper glanced at everyone unabashedly, and then suddenly raised his breath and said loudly.
"Minister, Commander." Then, Xu Muchuan responded with his hand.
The sound of the war horse resounding from the city gate in all directions, and the rumbling of boots on the ground spread to all corners.
The army entered the city, which caused a commotion among hundreds of people in the capital. There are even good deeds who secretly target the people entering the city, wanting to see who caused such a big battle.
Today, not long after calming down, the capital resounded with all kinds of noisy discussions. Whether it was the officials in the court, or the businessmen and ordinary people, they all focused their eyes on Xu Muchuan and the Ministry of Culture and Administration who entered the city.
The Civil Affairs Department, which had been empty for a few days, suddenly became lively again.
Luo Yongkang and more than 50 other people, under the escort of the Imperial Forest Army, arrived safely at the place of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. After many officials returned to the inner courtyard of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they scolded Xu Muchuan with unbridled discussions, accusing Xu Muchuan of rudeness, and some even threatened to play His Majesty.
"Shut up the official!" Luo Yongkang was in the Department of Civil Affairs, so he naturally heard the discussion and scolding of a group of officials, and he couldn't help but scold angrily.
All of a sudden, the people who were originally talking about it immediately shut up. However, the dozens of stunned eyes all revealed a puzzled look.
"Stupid." Luo Yongkang glanced at the sluggish officials coldly, scolded angrily in a low voice, and then left the inner courtyard with his hands on his back.
"What's the situation? What's wrong, my lord? After Luo Yongkang's back dissipated, the officials looked at each other for some reason.
"The adult's face is so bad, he must be angry with that little kid." Some officials who thought they had guessed the reason pointed the finger at Xu Muchuan, who was now about to arrive at the palace.
"Yes, this time my civil secretary has been so humiliated, we will definitely jointly play Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty deal with this Qincha child who doesn't know the height of the sky." After so long of accumulating anger, the officials finally exploded.
Until now, no one in the Civil Affairs Department knows why Xu Muchuan moved them, except for Luo Yongkang. After all, after Xu Muchuan arrested more than 50 people from the Civil and Political Department in Nancheng, he did not interrogate a single person, but just put them under house arrest in a small secluded courtyard.
Luo Yongkang knew some of the subtleties, but after seeing the list that Xu Muchuan handed him.
Finally endured the calm appearance and returned to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Luo Yongkang was anxiously thinking about what to do next, when he heard the noisy and angry scolding of the officials, of course, he couldn't help but scold a few times.
At this moment, Xu Muchuan, who had arrived at the palace, did not know that a group of officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs were planning to jointly write a letter to impeach him. However, even if Xu Muchuan knew, he would definitely disagree.
After all, in Xu Muchuan's eyes, he himself is a hungry wolf, and the bigwigs of the Ministry of Culture and Administration are a group of soft sheep.........
