"Bastard!" Emperor Zhou slammed his fist on the table, "The city guards plus the patrol battalion Royal Forest Army, the four city gates have been closed, and I can't find so many people in a small capital, what's the use of me asking for them!" ”

"Your Majesty is angry!" Long Yan was furious, and all the people in the imperial study knelt on the ground, trembling.

"Someone!" Emperor Zhou shouted, "Pass the decree and put all the people of the Jiang family and the Chu Wangfu in the heavenly prison, and tell them that before noon tomorrow, if Zhao Ling does not show up, all these people will be executed, no one is exempt!" ”

"Yes!" The eunuch hurriedly went out to deliver the decree, for fear that his movements would be slow and he would be angered by Emperor Zhou.

At this time, Chang Shan trembled and presented a few books to Chang Lai, and lowered his eyes and said: "This is today's recital, please take a look at it!" ”

Emperor Zhou restrained his anger, opened the fold and glanced at it, then closed it and threw it aside, opened another book and looked at it a few times, and threw it aside faster, and read several books in a row, all of them were for Zhao Ling to intercede for the sake of Bai Cheng, the king of Chu, these bastards, do they dare to teach me how to do things! Who gave you the guts!

He irritably pushed the fold aside, are these people impatient? At the beginning, the second prince had never seen these bastards plead for him so reservedly, could it be that his son's life was not as good as the son of the king of Chu!

"If the order goes down, whoever dares to intercede for Zhao Ling and the King of Chu will be their comrades, and they will be punished for the crime of treason!" Emperor Zhou gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes!"

Just when Emperor Zhou was worried about political affairs, the military aircraft department sent a twist again, Chen Guo asked what to talk about, and Emperor Zhou also sent people to negotiate, but the two sides did not reach an agreement on some things, the negotiations broke down, and it was decided to meet each other.

Emperor Zhou is very confident in his military strength, and the soldiers who have been promoted this time are screaming, waiting to show their skills on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions.

Of course, Emperor Zhou also became enthusiastic, and his ambitions were not affected by some troublesome things in the country, and this meeting, Emperor Zhou also relieved Changsun Chi of his position a lot, leaving only a commander of the cavalry battalion. Although Changsun Chi has always supported His Majesty's new policy, he is considered to be a nobleman and has always been counted in the ranks of the nobles, and the weakening of Changsun Chi's power is regarded as a further oppression of the nobles, which naturally causes the dissatisfaction of the noble generals.

Emperor Zhou's promoted generals from the cold door, although they have some real skills, but they have not really led troops to fight, and they don't have much experience, and some of those noble generals also rely on their own real military achievements to stand firm, the most important thing they lack is the experience of leading troops, Emperor Zhou needs people to complement each other, so that the military strength of the Great Zhou can be improved to a higher level, but the noble generals are looking at this, in order to coerce Emperor Zhou to retreat, so that they can get further control over the army, Emperor Zhou was unwilling to work hard to implement the new policy, and all collapsed because of this matter, but among these generals today, there are those who have real talents, military merits, and can still serve the public, but I am afraid that the only eldest grandson Chi is alone, but is the eldest grandson Chi still available?

Emperor Zhou's thoughts coincided with the ideas of the aristocratic generals, and they couldn't help but recommend Changsun Chi as the commander, because Changsun Chi had done a lot of things for the implementation of the new policy, and many of the cold generals were selected by him, so it didn't make sense, it seemed that Changsun Chi was indeed the most suitable candidate, this decision without any objection made Emperor Zhou feel cold, and Changsun Chi seemed to be unconsciously already wanted! The more this is the case, the more suspicious Emperor Zhou is about Changsun Chi in his heart, and he will not reuse him!

The generals were sent away, and Emperor Zhou still needs to continue to consider the choice of commander, internal and external worries, which made Emperor Zhou upset, what was going well, why has it become so unsmooth these days, in the end, in addition to the problem?

Putting aside the political affairs, Emperor Zhou went to the harem, thinking about it, he didn't know where it was more appropriate to go, he inadvertently came to the palace gate of Qi Guifei again, the two women here were once his favorite people, but now they hate him in their hearts, and they have never been with him anymore, looking at their cold faces, it is just adding trouble.

Sons, courtiers, and women have all betrayed him! Since the death of the queen mother, this huge harem, there is no place for me to talk about my heart?

Emperor Zhou felt a kind of loneliness, a kind of loneliness from top to bottom, since he ascended the throne, it was the first time he felt so powerless, so lonely, he was a little at a loss! He thought about it and came to Concubine De's palace, and at this moment the fifth prince had also gotten out of school and returned to Concubine De, and the mother and son were talking.

When Emperor Zhou arrived, both the mother and son stopped talking, and they could see that there was still a smile in their eyes, and it was only because of their arrival that they converged, and they could guess that before their arrival, their mother and son were talking and laughing.

"Why don't you speak?" Emperor Zhou sat down and asked, "When did you become so restrained in front of the truth?" ”

The fifth prince clasped his fists and said, "Just now, I and the queen mother only talked about some academic things!" ”

"Oh?" Emperor Zhou said, "Let's talk to me!" I'm a little tired today, so come and go! ”

The fifth prince and Concubine De glanced at each other, lowered their eyes and said yes.

"Why is Your Majesty so worried today?" Concubine De asked softly.

"There are many people in this world who want to be my enemies and oppose me, but I will let them all see what happens if they oppose me!" Emperor Zhou sneered and said, "A lot of things have happened in the previous dynasty these days, so don't get involved in the harem!" There is no quiet place in this front and back harem, and it will always be unhappy in my heart! Just do your own thing, study what you should study, and manage the harem if you should manage the harem! When this incident is over, I will prepare for the matter of sealing the queen and establishing the crown prince! ”

"Yes!" Concubine De lowered her eyes and said, "The concubine will do her part!" ”

"Yes, father, the son will continue to work hard and will not disappoint his father!" The fifth prince clenched his fists and said.

Emperor Zhou looked at his concubine and son, and could feel the fear and respect in their tones, but he couldn't hear a few intimate words from their mouths, they should have been the closest people to him, but now it seems that they have become strangers with themselves.

Jiang Mansion, inside the secret room.

"Is it delicious?" Jiang Xiaoyu fed Zhao Ling a bite of food, and the things stored in this secret room naturally didn't taste good, but because Jiang Xiaoyu fed it himself, Zhao Ling still ate with a happy face.

"Delicious!" Zhao Ling nodded and smiled.

"You're the only one who won't dislike what I've made!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "You don't know, when I was recuperating in Master's medicine house, Senior Brother went to Chen Guo, I cooked once, and he was very disgusted!" ”

"That's because he doesn't know how to appreciate!" Zhao Ling smiled slightly, "The things we make are the best!" ”

"I've been checking on your injuries, and they don't feel that serious! I checked your meridians, the meridians are complete, and even the internal force inside is running on its own! Jiang Xiaoyu said with a puzzled expression, "But why can't you stand up?" Why do you lose your martial arts? It seems that Master must come and see this matter! It's just that since we came back, we have lost contact with Master, and I have to ask Linghu Yao to find a way to find Master and bring Master to you to see! ”

"I'm not in a hurry with my injuries!" Zhao Ling smiled slightly, "It's nothing to worry about, it's not too late to treat it after everything is resolved!" ”

At this time, Liu Xiaoran ran in and said, "Oh no, no!" Big things are wrong! ”

"What's wrong? Speak slowly! Jiang Xiaoyu said.

"That Emperor Zhou today has put all the people in the Jiang Mansion and the Chu Wangfu into the heavenly prison, if Zhao Ling does not appear before noon tomorrow, he will kill them all!" Liu Xiaodong said, "I didn't expect Emperor Zhou to play this hand, what should we do now!" ”

"What!" Zhao Ling's face changed slightly, "In order to find me, he actually did it to such an extent!" In any case, I can't let other innocent people suffer because of my own affairs! ”

"Don't be in a hurry!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "This matter is also within my expectations, he will not kill the people of the Jiang family and the people of the Chu Palace, and then it will be time for Zhao Qu and Zhao Qian, as well as Jiang Shuai!" As long as they can calm the situation, Your Majesty will not dare to touch them at all! ”

"What if Emperor Zhou doesn't listen to the threat?" Liu Xiaodong asked with a lot of mouth.

"If you don't listen, you won't listen!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "What are you afraid of, I still have a back hand, I promise, Emperor Zhou can't move them!" ”

"My good girl, Sister Xiaoyu, how many powerful means are you still hiding!" Liu Xiaodong said, "Tell us what the next move is!" ”

"It's a secret!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I'm going out tonight to discuss with him, but the problem shouldn't be big, the plan has reached this point, we can't afford to retreat, but I won't let Emperor Zhou take any advantage!" In fact, at this point, it has actually exceeded my expectations, and the effect is much better than I expected! If Emperor Zhou has been confused now, I believe that what will happen next will definitely make him even more crazy, you wait and see! ”
