Chapter 825: Ice and Snow Outside the Palace, Frost in the Palace

Half a month of the court meeting finally began in this sunny morning, although the weather is still cold, but the sun is shining down from the canopy, shining in the streets and alleys of Yanjing City, those roofs that have not been cleaned, the snow is extremely thick, the sun shines on it, the white is dazzling, those ice ridges hanging under the eaves, like a handful of ice made of heads, and like an ice diamond, crystal clear in the sun, very beautiful, the ice ridges under the rows of eaves are of different thicknesses and lengths, undulating, But it's more like an upside-down glacial mountain. Soak!. Bar*

But the people of Kyori still smelled the blood in the air.

In the past three days, eight execution grounds have been opened in Beijing, and each execution ground executes hundreds of rebels every day, and in this capital, the eight execution grounds have killed more than 3,000 people for three consecutive days.

The smell of blood in the battle of breaking the city that night had not yet dissipated, and this new smell of blood diffused in Yanjing City, making the people in the capital feel uneasy.

Less than half a year ago, the He clan was sentenced to exterminate the clan because of their intention to rebel, not only killing thousands of people in Yichun County, but also cutting down nearly 1,000 people in the He Party in the capital.

This year is destined to be a bloody one.

This year, the smell of blood in the air of the eyes seems to have never disappeared, people don't know what will happen next, I don't know if in the near future, there will be countless heads on the ground, whether there will be a stronger smell of blood in the air of Yanjing.

In the three-day execution, not only were the Sioux people killed, but also in the two rebellious royal forest camps, since the first rank of the school captain, there were also nearly 100 royal forest generals who fell to the ground.

Of the two surviving senior generals, Han Cang was the only one.

……

On the Taiping Palace, the emperor's complexion was still not very good, but he sat on the dragon chair like a rock, and the red dragon robe was like a flame burning in the hall.

This was the first court meeting after the rebellion, and almost all the officials of the ministries, courts, and departments were present, and even the commanders of the Imperial Forest Army, who did not have to attend the court meeting in the past, came by order today.

The first person in the right column is Chang Dehou, who has the status of a royal family and is the commander of the wolf armor battalion, followed by Han Xuanling, the governor of the Donghai Zhenfu Army, who came by order this time, and the commander of the Longxiang battalion ranks third, and the fourth place is Han Mo, who has made great contributions this time.

Two columns of the Taiping Palace, the ministers who participated in the court meeting this time, were as high as more than 300 people, it was really magnificent, from His Royal Highness Jin Luan to the Taiping Palace Gate, fortunately, the Taiping Palace was huge, and it was more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

Now Han Cang, who is now in name only, is standing at the end of the right column and also participated in this court meeting.

As before, the Taiping Hall was filled with a solemn atmosphere, and the curling cigarettes floating out of the mouth of the bronze crane were invisible.

But in addition to solemnity, almost everyone can feel an extremely oppressive sense of suffocation.

Among the direct descendants of the Han family, there are actually five people who participate in politics in the same dynasty, and the three brothers of Han Xuandao, who have never stood in the same dynasty, gathered together for the first time, and the two brothers Han Mo and Han Cang are also the first time to be in the same dynasty, and the five direct descendants of the two generations of the Han family appeared in the court at the same time, which also made all the officials in the court feel the strength of the Han family today.

Neither the family giants nor the emperor spoke immediately, and the court was silent.

In fact, both sides understand that if the confrontation in the Qianxin Hall three days ago was just a test before the war, then today's court meeting must be a head-to-head confrontation.

A real battle for power and profit will be fought in this magnificent and solemn court.

The emperor is obviously also fully prepared, at least summoning the two confidant generals of Changdehou, Cao Yin and Bai Yi, to the court, which is ready to fight a tough battle.

He knew very well in his heart that because of the prince's failure, because of his own sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, although everyone would have a layer of whitewash on their faces, but the internal causes were well known to both parties.

The Maison was furious.

From the moment the Northwest Army entered the city, the emperor knew that there would definitely be a bigger storm next, a storm of the family's attack on the imperial family in the court.

A storm that weakens the power of the royal family, a storm in which the family strives for more power to curb the growth of the royal family.

……

This was the first time that Han Mo had stood so close to the Golden Luan Throne, the golden and brilliant Golden Luan Throne, the dazzling dragon robe like a flame burning, and a solemn aura came to his face, enveloping his whole body.

His expression was calm, but his heart was not calm.

There is no doubt that today's court meeting will solve a lot of things, and there will be many disputes, and he is not in the mood to take care of other people's thoughts, but for his own situation, since he received the edict yesterday, he has not stopped thinking.

The emperor issued an order to summon himself to participate in the court meeting, and the reward was naturally an excuse, and the real intention could be figured out with his ass.

Talismans!

That's the point.

Now that the soldier is on his body, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army at Linyang Pass are also under his command, and such a force has made many people in the DPRK and China feel even more terrified in shock.

It is because the Northwest Soldiers are in their own hands, and those soldiers who have been killed are now obeying their orders, which has changed the political pattern of Yan State, and those who are happy and those who are not happy have been prepared accordingly.

And the imperial family obviously cannot tolerate such a thing happening the most, and the emperor absolutely does not want to see the Northwest Talisman fall into the hands of the children of the Han family.

But Han Mo knew the same thing in his heart, his talisman was very important, although many people didn't want to see the talisman in their hands, but they couldn't let the talisman fall into the hands of others, especially the emperor.

Therefore, above the court today, the person on the dragon throne will definitely be eyeing the soldier talisman, and it is very likely that he will justifiably ask for the return talisman.

The emperor received the general's military talisman, and in name, the general naturally could not resist the order.

……

The strange and solemn atmosphere was maintained for a while, and the emperor, who had always been indifferent on the dragon throne, finally moved his body, coughed lightly, and then turned his head slightly and glanced at the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch shook off the dust, took two steps forward, and shouted in a sharp voice: "There is a book to play, nothing to retreat!" ”

The silence is opened, and naturally it will not fail to come, and this time the first to come out of the queue, just like a few days ago in the Qianxin Palace, is the criminal department Shang Xiao Wan Geng}} new o]. Long.

"Initiate the saint, the minister has the book to play!" Xiao Wanchang knelt on the smooth white marble ground and said respectfully: "According to the will of the Holy Lord, the minister has ordered the execution of the rebel party, and the rebel generals in the rebellious Imperial Forest Army have also been brought to justice. ”

The emperor said "um" expressionlessly, and then said in a deep voice: "I want the world to see, I will never show mercy to those who commit rebellion with bad intentions. ”

"It's just that in addition to the Su family's chaotic party, the minister has other things to do!"

"What does Xiao Love have to do?" The emperor knew that there would be rounds of impact today, but he had just kicked off, his temperament was extremely tenacious, he was completely mentally prepared, and he seemed very calm.

Xiao Wanchang's face, which looked a little gloomy, looked very respectful, but there was a cold glow in the pair of triangular eyes, and he knelt on the top and arched his hand and said: "Qi Sheng, this time there is turmoil in Beijing, but the merits and demerits of each county are different. The minister has joined forces with Hu Xuexin Hu of Dali Temple to investigate, among the counties, Donghai County and Linyang County are all the kings of Qinqin, and they have participated in the battle of counterinsurgency, and they have made great contributions. Situ Jing, the county guard of Yichun County, learned that there was a change in Beijing, and also ordered Zhuge Min to lead troops to serve the king, but his actions were extremely slow and he failed to arrive on time, so Zhuge Min was bound to be punished. Shen Weijing did not want to serve the court, but joined forces with the rebels to attack the Northwest Army, but in the end, Shen Weijing was arrested, and his family members and henchmen were also arrested and executed in Beijing. ”

Although the emperor's expression was still calm, he showed a cold light when he was serious.

Xiao Wanchang's words seemed to be talking about the merits and demerits of the local officials in various counties, but the emperor had already guessed what his real goal meant, and what Xiao Wanchang said next was indeed as he expected.

"But the minister investigated that since the rebellion of Zhao Xiqiao, the county guard of Bozhou County, has not taken any action, and tens of thousands of soldiers in the two main cities of Bozhou County have not taken the slightest action." Xiao Wanchang's voice was respectful, but his words were like a cold knife stabbing at the emperor: "The minister thinks that Zhao Xiqiao eats the king's Lu, sits in a county in Bozhou, has rich resources, and has a wide range of soldiers. The ministers ask the saint to decree that Zhao Xiqiao should be severely punished, not to be forgiven! ”

The two main cities of Bozhou County are naturally Hanye City and Lantian City of the Ye and Wu families.

The six counties of Yanguo, in addition to the huge Yanjing City, each of the nine great families has a main city, which is located in the dangerous core of each county in Yanguo, and is also the main city of each county.

In addition to the main city, the counties are those small county towns and towns, and the direct descendants of the family and the county guards of each county all live in the main city, except for Huiji County.

Huiji County because it is the location of the national capital, Yanjing City is the main city, the Xiao family and the Su family live in two cities, one south and one north, echoing each other from afar, just like the two guards of the ministers on the north and south sides of Yanjing City, but these two cities are not as good as the cities of other counties, because they are located in the national capital, so the garrisons of the two cities are only a handful, extremely rare, one is because Yanjing City has a huge elite Imperial Forest Army, once the north and south cities change, you can send troops at any time to quell the chaos, and the other reason is naturally because of the need to reduce military spending.

Xiao Wanchang took credit for each county one by one, and finally inserted the head directly into Zhao Xiqiao of Bozhou County, which was to use this as the beginning of this court dispute.

The ministers of the court and the central government were silent.

But everyone is in their hearts, since the Bozhou County pacified Ye Wu, the emperor took the opportunity to take action, with Zhao Xiqiao as a sharp weapon, to control Bozhou County, and now the important officials in Bozhou County are almost all royal families, and the richest state and county in Yan Country have also become the biggest trump card in the hands of the emperor.

That Zhao Xiqiao, not a child of a family, but climbed up step by step from an ordinary reader, is a staunch supporter of the orthodoxy of the imperial family, on the road to being an official, almost the emperor is promoted by all his strength, and every time he encounters danger, he is also the emperor's most loyal pawn.

And the more loyal this Lord Zhao is to the emperor, the greater the power in his hands, and the more he will become a thorn in the side of the family. This time the opportunity is rare, the family naturally wants to take the opportunity to get rid of Zhao Xiqiao, even if they can't cut off Zhao Xiqiao's head, they must confuse Bozhou County and prevent Bozhou County from becoming the territory of the royal family.

ps: This court meeting is naturally very important, playing a role in connecting the past and the future, and it is related to the changes in the political situation of Yan State, so I have to write it well.

I believe that a wonderful court battle will be written.

The comments are about to exceed 10,000, and today's total number of hits has also broken 7 million, for me, a newcomer, to achieve such results in Zongheng, and the support of all brothers and sisters is inseparable.

The ministers are mine, but also yours, and I love each and every one of you!
