The emperor thinks that if Yan Aiqing is dead now, and as a result, he is still indifferent and stays out of the matter, and he doesn't dare to say a word, then he is still human!

So the emperor turned his head and went to comfort this civil official who wrote green words for himself.

"Yan Aiqing, speaking of which, you are also a weak scholar, how can you start a fight, let alone beat the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Gongmao is sixty years old and can't stand the toss...... Don't be impatient, I'm for you, uphold justice! ”

Yan Song got off the donkey, and then he settled down a little.

Chang Ninghou snorted coldly in his heart, and said in his heart that you kid played a good show, fortunately, Lao Tzu had a good strategy to have a countermeasure, otherwise in the long run, you would have to be trampled on the soles of your feet!

Chang Ninghou's wonderful chess is naturally the real murderer of the eldest son.

……

Although Lu Bing didn't say anything suspicious, the emperor was able to sit on the throne, and after countless power struggles, he was not a blind vegetarian.

He believed that Zhang Gongmao and Wen Chaotian would definitely not do anything to assassinate Xie Jianglan.

If these two people were so low-level, how could they climb to the high position they are now!

If he is really low-level and has climbed to a high position, the only thing that can be explained is that he, the emperor, has a lower mind and can't see people clearly.

He believes that most of them are some folk masters who support reformers, so they will make their own ideas, kill Xie Jianglan, and leave a note to intimidate other conservatives.

Therefore, in the bottom of his heart, the emperor really did not link this murder case with Zhang Gongmaowen Chaotian.

However, reforms come and go, first Wen Chaotian was assassinated, and now Xie Jianglan is killed, above the court, the civil and military have their own thoughts, the local yamen, and the undercurrent of officialdom is surging.

This situation is really a headache for me.

Not to mention destabilizing the world, it takes me too much time and delays my cultivation and alchemy, this is the big deal!

Thinking of this, the emperor has already drawn a question mark about the reform.

……

After Yan Song and Lu Bing left, the emperor looked at Chang Ninghou.

"Aiqing, you say, will someone take advantage of the chaos and come to assassinate me?"

Before the change, Changning Hou would definitely say that there was an end in the general, and he would swear to defend the Son of Heaven to the death.

But that's different now.

In the days when the previous step was high, Changning Hou and the Imperial Tiger Ben Four Guards Battalion were helpless, and now they are too thick-skinned to say this kind of thing.

And Chang Ninghou has another thought.

So he groaned for a while, and then said:

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, all the people in the world kneel, and those who want to assassinate Your Majesty must only be extremely vicious and vicious rebellious ministers and thieves, and they will definitely not win the hearts of the people, this kind of rebellious ministers and thieves will be punished by everyone......"

At this time, the emperor did not want to hear sycophants.

He just wanted a countermeasure.

So he interrupted Chang Ninghou: "Aiqing, I know all this, let's get down to business." ”

Chang Ning Hou clenched his fists and said: "If someone really assassinates Your Majesty, the last general will now have a broken arm, and his serious injuries have not healed, and he will not be able to protect His Majesty......"

Hearing this, the emperor looked at Chang Ninghou.

The emperor said in his heart, it seems that Bu Gaosheng has made this Chang Ninghou frightened.

You see that he doesn't have the confidence to speak now.

People who don't have confidence can't shoulder heavy responsibilities.

The palace garrison is going to be replaced!

When the emperor thought of changing people, Chang Ninghou spoke again: "Your Majesty, there will be a strange person in the end, who can be recommended to Your Majesty, as long as he is there, no one can assassinate Your Majesty!" ”

When the emperor heard this, he immediately became interested.

Usually he likes the Geshiqi people, let alone now.

Thinking about Xie Jianglan's tragic death, he felt uncomfortable.

If he could have a Geshiqi by his side, he would be able to rest assured.

"Gaschi? Aiqing has this relationship, last time Bu Gaosheng made trouble, why don't you recommend this person? ”

Chang Ninghou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this strange person is good at flying swords, and he can kill people within a hundred steps. ”

As soon as he heard that there was a flying sword that killed people within a hundred paces, the emperor said at that time: "Quickly recruit strange people to meet you!" ”

……

In this way, Prince Qian entered the palace for the first time in his life.

The emperor looked at the scholar in front of him, dressed in white like snow, although he was magnificent, but he didn't look like a brave person, so he didn't believe it.

This young man doesn't have a flying sword in his hand, only a chessboard!

"Your Majesty, this person is the last general's brother-in-law, absolutely reliable, can you let him demonstrate it?"

Chang Ning waited for this request and quickly got his approval.

Mr. Qian sat cross-legged on the ground and slowly opened the plastic chess piece.

He raised his hand on a "rook", and with a flick of it, the chess piece spun drippingly, and soon in the process of spinning, a flying sword of about one foot was conjured.

At the gate of the palace, there were two little eunuchs.

Grand Master Qian pointed at one of the little eunuchs, and the flying sword flew towards the little eunuch.

Before the little eunuch could react, the flying sword circled around his neck, and then flew back again.

The emperor saw it and applauded.

"Qian Aiqing, can you show your power?" The emperor was still unsatisfied.

Seeing the flying sword of Prince Qian, the emperor ignored Prince Qian, and now he has no official position, and has already called him Aiqing.

This is a good sign, a good sign for the canonization!

Hearing the word "Aiqing", Chang Ninghou nodded to Mr. Qian.

Mr. Qian pointed at the dragon pillar with his hand and pointed three times in a row.

The flying sword flew towards the dragon pillar, and pierced three holes in succession on the dragon pillar.

This dragon pillar is carved from rock, and it is stronger than the dragon pillar that was interrupted before the step up.

The flying sword pierced through the dragon pillar, effortlessly, and moisturizing things silently, there was no movement.

The emperor was ecstatic.

With such a master by his side, who are you afraid of assassinating!

"Aiqing, good skills, get the supernatural powers!" The emperor said.

As soon as Mr. Qian beckoned, the flying sword fell on the chessboard, turned into a puff of air, and disappeared without a trace.

……

Qian Dagongzi, who closed the chessboard, under the dictation of the emperor, jumped from an ordinary talent to the deputy commander of the four guard battalions, and his status was second only to Changning Hou.

"Qian Aiqing, give you ten days to move all the children to the capital, and then take up your post immediately!"

Let Mr. Qian bring his wife and children to the capital, which also has deep meaning.

This kind of work by the emperor's side, if he changes his mind, the emperor will definitely die.

So let him bring the family, the family is under the emperor's nose, and the emperor is also relieved.

If you kid dare to change his mind about me, even if I die, the successor will kill your entire family.

Of course, as long as you don't have two hearts, the family will eat and drink spicy food in the capital, so it is naturally not a problem.

……

Mr. Qian, who walked out of the palace, smiled at each other with Chang Ninghou.

Now that he is the deputy commander of the Fourth Guard Battalion, who dares to suspect that he is the murderer of Xie Jianglan!

Mr. Qian is full of ambition.

Chang Ninghou is even happier.

The position of commander of the Fourth Guard Battalion, Chang Ninghou never intended to let it fall into the hands of others.

These four thousand imperial tigers, only if his own people are in charge, he can rest assured.

No matter what happens in the future, whether it is a palace coup, a rebellion of the exiles, or an invasion of the enemy, these 4,000 imperial tigers will definitely be of great use.

For example, if you have a million soldiers outside, it is better to control a team of thousands of soldiers and horses in the palace.

As long as you put your brother-in-law in the position of commander of the Fourth Guard Battalion and leave enough support in the palace, then you can fight for a bigger position.

Yan Song is like the sky, and he must not lose the opportunity in the race with him!

Chang Ninghou has now regarded Yan Song as the most dangerous enemy.

……

The emperor was obsessed with cultivation and alchemy, and he hadn't shown up in the early dynasty for a long time, but this time Xie Jianglan's death, he couldn't avoid it, so he could only come to the early dynasty once.

After all, Xie Jianglan is also the person who has been the first assistant.

In the early days of the court, above the court, the civil and military officials were divided into two factions and attacked each other.

The representative of the conservative faction is naturally Yan Song.

The leader of the reformists must be Zhang Gongmao.

Seeing that Yan Song had become a leader, the emperor did not suspect him, because at this moment, Yan Song was still speaking as the victim's family.

Yan Song didn't mention the pros and cons of the reform, but when he turned it over and transferred it, he decided that Zhang Gongmao was the real culprit behind the killing of his father-in-law.

The more the two sides argued, the more fierce they became, and then they scolded, and finally almost turned into a group fight.

At the critical moment, the emperor coughed, and Huang Jin screamed: "Long live have something to say!" ”

That's what stopped the farce.

To say that it is a farce, that is the emperor's point of view.

For the reformers led by Zhang Gongmao and Wen Chaotian, as well as the poor people in the world, the direction of things is tantamount to a great tragedy.

……

In order to continue the great cause of cultivating and refining pills, the emperor terminated the new policy of reform.

He also advised Zhang Gongmao to avoid the limelight for the time being: "Zhang Aiqing, I know your efforts, I also know your reform, I also know it, it will benefit the country and the people, but you can't be in a hurry, now the court is talking violently, and they all accuse you of being a murderer, you should go back to your hometown first, and when the limelight passes, I will reactivate you, and then the reform task will be shouldered by you." ”

The emperor said that it was temporarily suspended, but if he did not die, no one would want to start the reform again.

After all, this reform is very annoying, and it will delay his cultivation and alchemy.

Zhang Gongmao understands these truths.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would quit the cabinet in this way.

used to support the emperor without principle, regardless of right and wrong, just in exchange for the current high position, and then change his face and implement a new reform policy.

As a result, the reform was stillborn before it could be fully implemented.

In the future, it is estimated that I will have to buckle myself up, which will only cater to the emperor's infamy!

Zhang Gongmao, who left the capital, was full of emotion.

On the way, looking back at Weiwei Jingshi, Zhang Gongmao beat his chest and shouted: "Heaven does not fulfill my wish!" ”

When he finished speaking, he fainted and fell into the dust of the official road.

……

To find the real culprit who killed Xie Jianglan, the emperor asked Jinyiwei to handle it, after all, the case was Jinyiwei's next.

Lu Bing also knows that the real murderer is not easy to find.

So he randomly found two people from the rivers and lakes and killed them in the mountains.

Two human heads were placed in front of the emperor.

"The real murderer resisted arrest with a weapon, and now he has been punished." Lu Bing said.

The Emperor waved his hand to dispel the smell of blood and frowned again.

Huang Jin hurriedly put the two heads in the box and covered them.

Xie Jianglan's case, at the stage of criminal proceedings, was terminated like this.

……

Xie Jianglan died in the territory under Wen Chaotian's rule, no matter whether Wen Chaotian participated or not, as the chief official, he had an unshirkable responsibility.

The emperor originally planned to directly remove Wen Chaotian from his official position.

This news reached Wen Chaotian's ears, and he couldn't stop worrying.

Along the way, to be able to get to the position of Governor Yingtian, only he knows the hardships he has paid.

Now that the backer of the court has fallen, and he is going to be dismissed, how can he not feel uncomfortable.

The uncomfortable Wen Chaotian heard another unfortunate news.

On the way back to his hometown, his mentor Zhang Gongmao was depressed for a while, suddenly fell ill, and almost died.

That's not all, Zhang Gongmao and his entourage were insulted by many local gentry along the way.

Fortunately, Jiang Yishan thought of the friendship between teachers and students, took the initiative to take leave, and went to escort Zhang Gongmao.

Jiang Yishan is Lu Bing's son-in-law, and those gentry dare not provoke him.

In the end, Zhang Gongmao arrived safely in his hometown.

I heard that after my teacher fainted, he now has the root cause of his illness and has a headache every day.

Wen Chaotian was unprecedentedly indignant.

If at the beginning, he followed Zhang Gongmao to implement reforms, just to get political achievements, so that he could enter Beijing to become a bigger official in the future, but after Xie Jianglan's retreat from the field, Wen Chaotian saw those poor people, countless pairs of expectant eyes.

Now that the news has spread, these eyes have also changed from expectation to decadence.

So for the first time, Wen Chaotian did not consider his official position, but from the perspective of the people, he did a big thing.

Not long after Xie Jianglan was buried, Wen Chaotian returned all the land that Xie Jianglan had embezzled to the bitter master.

If he is not exempted from the official for a day, he will be the governor of the sky for a day.

It is the governor of Yingtian, and he has this authority.

He not only returned Xie Jianglan's land, but also returned the land of Xie Jianglan's slaves.

When the slaves lost their land, they lost the means to exploit the common people.

They came to Yingtian together, cried and made trouble outside the governor's yamen, and scolded Wen Chaotian.

Without Wen Chaotian's orders, Duan Chu and Ma Qianli used random sticks to break up these slaves.

In this way, the huge Xie Mansion that used to crisscross Gusu was dismembered by Wen Chaotian.

Xie Fu, there is no possibility of turning over.

……

However, Xie Fu still retains a trace of blood, that is, Yan Song.

The news that the Xie Mansion had been dismembered and the fields had been lost soon reached Yan Song's ears.

Many of the people in Xie Jianglan's former network persuaded Yan Song to take advantage of this opportunity to completely knock Wen Chaotian down, so that Wen Chaotian could not turn over in the officialdom.

The conservative think tank gave Yan Song a suggestion:

"The surname Wen was originally a guilty body, but it is still so rampant, as long as Lord Yan says three or two sentences in front of His Majesty, he doesn't need to add oil and vinegar, as long as it can hint at Wen Chaotian, this time it is against the Son of Heaven, and it is guaranteed that the surname Wen will die without a place to be buried!"

This time was indeed an opportunity, and Yan Song didn't plan to let it go.

But at this moment, an unexpected incident came and saved Wen Chaotian's life.

The Japanese who had been wandering along the coast and plundering everywhere, this time there was only one team, and they actually broke through the defense all the way and hit Yingtian City.
