The task of finding out the spies hidden in the Wangcheng Guards was not so easy for Wang Xiaolai to complete.

But with Chu Feng's help, things are much simpler.

It turned out that this Chu Feng was a spy who was inserted into the Wangcheng Guards two years ago, and she knew the details of all the officers of the Wangcheng Guards.

Who is loyal and who is a traitor, in Chu Feng's mind, he already has a bottom.

In just an hour, the 40,000 Wangcheng guards in Wengcheng found out no less than 100 officers who were traitors in the Guangling Palace, and Wang Xiaolai was surprised to see it, if it was really the empress who used the 40,000 Wangcheng guards, when the time came, there were some traitors to provoke, and the soldiers who didn't know what to do turned their heads and attacked the empress, and the matter was afraid that it would enter an irreparable situation.

It is also thanks to the empress that she was calm and stunned to quell the rebellion by relying only on the Yulin Army, which made Wang Xiaolai have to admire.

At the first time when the guards of the royal city were cleared, the Eight Sages had already arrived in Wengcheng, he reorganized his army, turned his head, and attacked Feng Jun and others who were still resisting stubbornly on the inner city wall.

The battle was only half an hour, and on the burning city wall, Feng Jun knelt on the ground, beat the ground angrily with his hands, and cried loudly: "Zhao Sui, you bastard, you deceived Lao Tzu so miserably." ”

In the midst of the crying, Feng Jun put on a flail and a lock, and directly bowed to the law.

Lin Lei saw that the situation was not good, and voted for the Eight Sages King, and this guy is indeed ruthless enough, in order to save his life, he confessed to the list of no less than 100 people who colluded with them to plot rebellion.

When he heard the names of those familiar people, the Eight Sages King was abrupt in his heart, and he sighed a long sigh in his heart, most of these hundred and ten people are important members of the imperial court, but these people don't know how to do it, and they have to commit some major crimes of rebellion, it seems that at such a moment, the Suiyang Imperial Court is afraid that there will be a big reshuffle.

···

During the three-day purge of Daxing City, countless officials were imprisoned, and the streets were full of soldiers arresting the remnants of the rebels.

So much so that the people were panicked.

Even if Liu Maolin came forward to appease the people, the result was still the same, the panic of the people, what should I do, or what?

In the imperial study, the empress rewarded her meritorious deeds.

To everyone's surprise, in this rebellion, the first hero was not the Eight Sages King who commanded the troops to guard the noon gate and resisted the rebels attacking the city overnight, nor Zhao Liwen, who fought with Huhu Feng Fan all night, let alone Liu Maolin, who immediately pacified the people after the war, and even Ma Bang, who appeared at the last moment and led the internal guards to set the overall situation in one fell swoop, had to be a little behind.

The biggest contributor to quelling Zhao Sui's rebellion this time was Wang Xiaolai.

In the words of the empress, if it weren't for Wang Xiaolai, I am afraid that the person sitting in the imperial study today would have been replaced by Zhao Sui.

If it weren't for the emergency, Wang Xiaolai's infighting between Zhao Yu and Zhao Sui, who was teasing with words, bought time to ignite the gunpowder under the square, how could Ma Bang's internal guards defeat Zhao Sui in the shortest possible time?

Even if it is about meritorious deeds, Wang Xiaolai's merits are so justifiable.

The Qingzhou Party, the Senate, and those courtiers who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to do the work of supporting the dragon, all the officials who supported Zhao Sui had been sent to prison.

There were no less than 200 people, and the prison was even full.

At the same time, correspondingly, that is the emptiness of the imperial court, do you think, suddenly a third of the officials are missing, how can the operation of the imperial court continue?

So much so that in the past few days, in addition to cleaning up the stubborn forces in Daxing City, the empress has rewarded and promoted the younger generation of officials for meritorious deeds and cultivated her cronies.

For three whole days, the empress has not had a good rest.

"Zhao Sui has now fled to Yangzhou, I sent Mulan to lead the secret guards to chase after him, and at the same time, the 50,000 troops stationed on the border line of Yangzhou are also ready to send troops to Yangzhou at any time."

Glancing at everyone in the hall, the empress spoke.

When Liu Maolin heard this, he came up and hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister feels that there is another important thing that must not be forgotten." ”

"Old Xiangguo, you said."

"Your Majesty, you said, in this rebellion, Zhao Sui even colluded with the grassland, and the old minister is worried that the grassland will take the opportunity to do something."

Liu Maolin's words can be said to have woken up the empress, and the empress snorted at that time: "What Lao Xiangguo said is reasonable, I will give an order to let Shen Yijing prepare for the invasion of the grassland, in addition, Uncle Huang." ”

The Eight Sages King clasped his hands and fists and stood up: "Your Majesty." ”

The empress said: "Zhao Sui escaped safely, after he goes back, he will definitely find a way to do something, and the 50,000 troops displayed on the border line of Yangzhou will be handed over to you for command." ”

The Eight Sages nodded vigorously: "Obey." ”

"In addition, the selection of court officials must start the process immediately, and the pacification of the people of Daxing City must also be accelerated. The empress commanded one by one.

And all the people in the hall answered each other.

After ordering everything, the empress waved everyone to retreat, leaving only one Wang Xiaolai still in the imperial study.

After everyone left, the empress walked down the hall and came to Wang Xiaolai, and when she saw that the latter looked distracted, she smacked and said to Wang Xiaolai: "Xiao Laizi, what's going on with you today, why didn't you say a word?" ”

Wang Xiaolai reluctantly raised his head and looked at the empress, his face seemed to be a little afraid.

It can be said that in the past three days, the empress's resolute style of doing things has frightened Wang Xiaolai.

In this rebellion, in addition to the 100 officials who took the lead, there were also tens of thousands of low-level people and relatives of those officials who participated in it.

Wang Xiaolai and the empress had seen the scene of the heads falling together, and the big river outside Daxing City that ran through the east and west could still be seen from the downstream.

This time Zhao Sui's rebellion can really be a big change for the entire Daxing City and the entire Sui Yang.

The old royal family, the Senate, the Qingzhou Party, these constraints, for the empress, have ceased to exist since then, it can be said that the future Sui Yang is the empress's Yiyantang.

"Say, say what?" Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Wang Xiaolai asked stiffly.

The empress laughed, sat cross-legged on the ground, beat her neck, and said to Wang Xiaolai: "Come, little Laizi, pinch my shoulders, I'm really tired these days." ”

Wang Xiaolai said in his heart that you are full of energy these days, and I don't see you have even the slightest bit of unhappiness, you obviously enjoy this feeling very much.

stood up and went to the empress's side to rub the empress's shoulders, and the latter said with a look of enjoyment: "Little Laizi, do you know that from now on, I am the real son of heaven in Sui Yang." ”

Wang Xiaolai: "??? ”

The empress smiled and said: "It's been three years, I've waited for three years, the Senate, the old royal family, and the waste of food in the Qingzhou Party have finally disappeared cleanly. ”

Wang Xiaolai said: "Your Majesty, you say." ”

The empress turned her head and stared at Wang Xiaolai: "Are you willing to create a new and better Sui Yang with me?" ”

Facing the empress's burning gaze, Wang Xiaolai was stunned for a moment and forgot to answer.

And at this time, Narcissus broke in from outside, with a panicked look on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, something is wrong." ”

The empress turned around: "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Xiaolai took the opportunity to turn his head and hide aside.

When Narcissus arrived, he took out a letter from his arms: "Shen Yijing in the north urgently reported that the grassland, under the personal leadership of Huyan Zhuozhuo, raised 400,000 troops to the south, and now has broken through the northern border defense, Shen Yijing has no choice but to lead the team and retreat to the second line of defense." ”

When the words fell, the empress was taken aback: "Doesn't Shen Yijing have 300,000 soldiers under him, how can he lose a line of defense in a short period of time?" ”

Narcissus looked ugly: "It is said that Zhao Sui leaked the northern border map to Huyan Zhuozhuo, which caused Shen Yijing to be defeated so quickly." ”

When the empress heard this, she gritted her teeth: "Zhao Sui, I will kill you." Narcissus, sent a message to the emperor's uncle, asking him to come back immediately, and lead the Thunder Fire Iron Cavalry to the north as soon as possible, receiving the northern military defense and resisting the invasion of the grassland. ”
