Chapter 696: General Ling's iron-fisted purge
When the timid dusters saw the fierce officers and soldiers, they quickly squatted on the ground obediently. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info there are those who do not listen to evil, and still put treasures in their pockets.
Officers and soldiers will be polite to them, and they will attack those disobedient dusters. The officers and soldiers were relatively benevolent, and they did not cut the vital parts of these dusters, mainly greeting them below the buttocks.
After cutting down a few disobedient dusters, no more lifeless dusters dared to defy the law, and they all squatted down and listened to the fall.
At this time, there was a shout from outside the crowd: "Prime Minister Zhang Zicheng has arrived." ”
The officers and soldiers flashed a way, and Zhang Zi walked in under the protection of the guards.
Zhang Zi saw the slashed dustman and said majestically: "Uncle Huang risked the crime of killing your head to protect your belongings. but you are greedy for robbery, and you deserve to be put to death according to your sins. ”
"The prime minister spares his life. The prime minister spared his life. The dusters lying on the ground struggled to their knees, begging for mercy.
Zhang Zi said expressionlessly: "Put them in prison and wait for the new emperor to send them down." ”
The new emperor Zhang Zi is talking about, of course, refers to the imperial uncle who is about to ascend the throne. Everything he did was to buy people's hearts for the sake of the emperor's uncle.
When Zhang Zi came here, he had to start after Linghu Wuji left.
After Zhang Zi and Ling Feiyan sent Linghu Wuji away, the husband and wife were relatively melancholy for a while, and then began to discuss countermeasures.
The couple is not philistine, the IQ is high enough, and the EQ is not low. It could not be manifested before, and it was mainly subject to the red flame, and everything had to be done according to the requirements of the red flame.
Now that they're the protagonists, they feel a lot of responsibility. The husband and wife sent the servants out and told the slashing brothers to guard the perimeter of the house and not to allow anyone to come near. Based on the information they receive, they develop a response plan.
To make the perfect course of action, you must first figure out the cause of the incident.
On the surface, it was caused by the emperor's narrow-mindedness and the expansion of Li Potian's rebellion. If it weren't for the involvement of the Xuanfeng Shenni, the situation would not have developed into what it is today.
Xuanfeng Shenni didn't know that there were so many changes in the imperial court at first, but when the Xuanwu North County Commander asked her for help, she felt that a good opportunity had come.
Xuanfeng Shenni sent the Black Dragon Immortal into the palace, and the initial idea was not to take the throne, but to take the opportunity to get silver.
Now that the Immortal Demon Ridge is expanding rapidly, the soldiers and horses have been summoned, and they need silver to feed them. Just when Xuanfeng Shenni was worried about the silver, he heard the news that the emperor was messing around, and felt that this was a good opportunity to get silver, so he asked the Black Dragon Immortal to enter the palace dressed as a beauty from the Western Regions.
Xuanfeng Shenni did this to kill two birds with one stone, one was to relieve the danger for Xuanwu County, and the other was to get a large amount of silver by confusing the emperor.
In the process of planning this matter, Xuanfeng Shenni accidentally discovered that the three protectors of the Blue Fox took the three kings back to the Immortal Court to seize the throne. This gave her a new idea to kill the emperor and let the three kings ascend the throne.
The three kings received such a great favor, and the silver would continue to flow to the Immortal Demon Ridge. At the same time, you can also use the imperial power to fight other sects, and the Immortal and Demon Sect is glorified.
When helping the three kings seize the throne, Xuanfeng Shenni made an analysis of the court situation.
On the surface, Uncle Huang is an obstacle. He is not only the emperor's own son, but also the current emperor's uncle, and his prestige is still very high.
However, the imperial uncle also had a weakness that caused the disease, that is, he had neither military power nor governing power. As long as he is not given the opportunity to ascend to the heights, the rest is surrender.
The only ones that gave Xuanfeng Shenni a headache were Zhang Zi and Ling Feiyan, a couple who was in charge of the military power of the imperial court and the other was in charge of governing power, and they had a lot of energy. If they get in the way, it's a big problem.
What makes Xuanfeng Shenni feel even more tricky is that this couple has a fox fairy background. If you move the emperor, it is possible that Fox Immortal Mountain will not ask. If this couple is moved, Fox Immortal Mountain will not give up.
Xuanfeng Shenni's current strength can't fight Fox Immortal Mountain, of course, he won't touch such a bad head, he can only play yin. With the emperor's righteousness, Ling Feiyan was secretly imprisoned, and under the pretext of protecting important hostages, Zhang Zi was placed under house arrest at home.
Sweeping away the obstacle of Zhang Zi and Ling Feiyan, Xuanfeng Shenni no longer had any scruples and began to implement the plan to seize the throne.
Xuanfeng Shenni didn't expect that Ling Feiyan had been rescued by the Invisible Escape, and the couple was studying a plan to assist the emperor's uncle.
Peace stresses the right to govern, and turmoil depends on the power of the military, which is the iron law of the world.
Now that the world is facing turmoil, of course, it is time to look at the power of the army. Ling Feiyan is now a general of the imperial court, in charge of the military power of the entire imperial court, and she must be the main one to quell the chaos, and Zhang Zi can only make ideas for Ling Feiyan at the helm.
Since the destruction of Li Potian's rebellion plot, the imperial court has basically been in turmoil. The army has undergone at least two purges, one to purge Li Potian's minions, and the other is an ongoing purge of personnel related to Li Podi.
Now there are many soldiers in the barracks, but they are not fully organized. Some officers have been detained, and new officers have not yet been appointed.
The reason for the chaos in the barracks was that it had been converted into a prison for the people captured from all over the country, and some of the soldiers had become jailers.
Since the barracks were converted into prisons, the soldiers were no longer trained, they drank and played cards every day, and military discipline was very lax.
This is also the reason why Xuanfeng Shenni ignored the barracks in the capital, she believes that from the current situation, although there are many soldiers in the barracks in the capital, they are depressed and have loose discipline, and they cannot form combat effectiveness at all.
Although the situation was bad, Ling Feiyan was still very confident. Because the officers in charge of the barracks are all Ling Feiyan's henchmen, as long as the will of these generals is unified, the soldiers will be able to do it.
For the sake of safety and convenience, Ling Feiyan and Zhang Zi secretly left the Prime Minister's Mansion and moved the headquarters to the barracks.
When Ling Feiyan and Zhang Zi came to the barracks, there was no one standing guard, as if they were in a no-man's land. After entering the barracks, Ling Feiyan frowned even more. Either a drunk or a gambler is seen.
When Zhang Zi saw this scene, his heart was cold, and he thought of the rebel army in the north of the city, and thought: "Can such a team fight?"
Ling Feiyan walked into the handsome account and saw that he was even more angry, several lieutenants under his command were holding a woman, drinking and gambling at the same time, they were interested in having fun, and they didn't see Ling Feiyan come in at all.
Ling Feiyan thought to himself: "No wonder the three kings dare to take the throne with more than a hundred or ten warriors. Military discipline is so bad, what are they afraid of?"
Seeing that this group of officers didn't see Ling Feiyan coming in at all, he shouted, "General Ling has arrived." ”
"Who's shouting, be careful that I kill you. "How could this group of people believe that Ling Feiyan would come to the barracks at this time, and Deputy General Zhang, who was temporarily in charge of the barracks, didn't reply without replying.
"Vice General Zhang, who do you want to kill?" Ling Feiyan said majestically.
Hearing the familiar voice, Vice General Zhang hurriedly turned around to inspect, and saw Ling Feiyan standing at the door in military uniform, with Prime Minister Zhang Zi beside him, so he hurriedly pushed away the woman in his arms, jumped down from the table, and said to his subordinates in a panic: "General Ling is here." ”
When the happy generals heard Vice General Zhang's words, they basically made the same action, pushing away the woman in their arms, jumping off the table, or standing up from the table.
One of the generals may have drunk too much, maybe just grabbed a good card, and said angrily: "General Ling, what are you doing at this time? ”
Ling Feiyan was very angry, knowing that if he didn't stand up at this time, the following plan would not be able to continue, so he winked at Zhan Erdao.
Zhan Erdao understood what Ling Feiyan meant, rushed over, and beheaded this general who couldn't see the height of his eyebrows with one sword.
Vice General Zhang saw the head of the beheaded officer rolling on the ground, and quickly knelt down in fright: "General Ling, Prime Minister Zhang, spare the little ones this time." ”
Ling Feiyan's face was as pale as frost, ignoring the general who was kneeling on the ground, and ordered another slash: "Clean up the room, and then raise the account." ”
After Ling Feiyan gave the order, he and Zhang Zi went to a room next to them to wait.
With a knife, he stepped forward to help Vice General Zhang and said, "Brother, quickly get the woman away and rectify military discipline." ”
"Good, good. "Adjutant General Zhang asked a partial general to send the woman in the house out of the barracks, and at the same time informed all the soldiers to assemble at the training ground.
He took a jar and handed it to Adjutant Zhang and said, "This is sobering soup, hurry up and let the brothers drink it." ”
Adjutant Zhang said gratefully, "Thank you, brother." ”
It may be that the officers and soldiers who came here were drunk, and they actually brought a lot of hangover soup. As if they had received an elixir, the officers and soldiers quickly drank the hangover soup.
After everything was arranged, Vice General Zhang came to Ling Feiyan's room and knelt down to plead guilty: "General Ling, for a small capital crime, please raise the account and punish it." ”
By the time Ling Feiyan re-entered the Chinese army's tent, all the generals had already stood on both sides in an orderly manner. What made Ling Feiyan happiest was that everyone had woken up, and they all lowered their heads in fear, waiting for Ling Feiyan to fall.
Ling Feiyan asked Zhang Zi to move a seat and let Zhang Zi sit down. She stood up and said sadly: "You are all promoted by me, and you are all my henchmen, I didn't expect to fall like this." ”
The generals said ashamedly: "We should die, we have failed General Ling's cultivation. ”
Vice General Zhang said sadly: "General Ling, it's all my fault. Please, please. ”
Ling Feiyan showed his warm side at this time: "Vice General Zhang, generals, the chaos of the government and politics makes you confused, I can understand this." It's just that I feel sorry to see you like this. ”
Ling Feiyan's words brought tears to the eyes of these generals who were moved.
Ling Feiyan felt sensational enough, waved his hand and said, "Generals, please get up, I have important matters to discuss with you with Prime Minister Zhang Cheng." ”
Vice General Zhang and they had long expected that there was nothing particularly important, and the general and the prime minister would not come to the barracks together.
Deputy General Zhang didn't stand up, but first said: "General Ling, Prime Minister Zhang, if there is anything, you can give orders." In the water and in the fire, we will go with you. ”
"Okay, I'm relieved of your attitude. Ling Feiyan said happily: "Brothers, get up and speak." ”
When the generals stood up, Zhang Zi told him what happened in the imperial court, and finally said: "Generals, General Ling and I are here to tell you that we are determined to protect the emperor's uncle and ascend the throne. ”
