Chapter 9: Reclaim the Throne!
Mulan's speed is as fast as lightning.
The naked eye simply can't catch her trajectory.
But when the pink figure flashed, there were a few more headless corpses on the ground.
"I'm invincible, you feel free!"
She was so confident and arrogant that the menacing group of assassins just now were too busy dodging to confront her.
"Whoa!"
She pulled out the heavy sword she was carrying behind her and slammed it, killing several of the Assassins who couldn't avoid it.
"It's so strong!"
Although these Assassins were dead soldiers who died without remorse, they didn't want to die worthless and meaningless.
Whoosh!
Shadow arrows came, and they smeared the soles of their feet with oil, just wanting to evacuate.
"I want to go, no way!"
At this time, Cao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Tiger and leopard ride to attack!" ”
"Dada-da-da!"
In the Jinluan Palace, the sound of horses' hooves urged.
"What?"
The Assassin wanted to go, but he couldn't.
The gate of the temple behind them has been completely controlled by the tiger and leopard riders, and they can't fly over even if they have their wings, and there are ruthless people like Mulan behind them.
They are not from heaven.
It's a pity that their cultivation is not to say that they go to heaven, even if they go to the ground, they have to work hard.
"Can't we all go?"
The assassin was lonely, he planned so carefully last night, why did such a change happen today?
They were originally just the last protest procedure used by the ministers to resist the strengthening of imperial power, but they did not expect that the set goal of beating the emperor was not achieved, but allowed the emperor to further control the right to speak.
This is what Prime Minister Zhuge of the dog planner who has already been killed did not expect.
"Mulan, Cao Zhang obeys the order, this group of assassins will be killed on the spot, leaving no one alive!"
Emperor Wu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, spoke in a bland tone.
But it is this bland tone that is the most frightening.
Hearing this, the thighs of this group of ministers who had something to do trembled like people who couldn't urinate for a long time, and their faces were purple.
"No!"
Hua Mulan and Cao Zhang's execution efficiency was quite high, and after a while, the assassins were bloodily slaughtered.
In the presence of these ministers, the scene of the massacre was extremely horrific.
Some of the old ministers were so frightened that their legs went limp and they collapsed to the ground.
"Your Majesty, the assassins have been killed by us!"
"Hmm!"
Emperor Wu nodded with satisfaction, he promised to give Cao Zhang a reward yesterday.
However, before the reward, he still made a preparation.
"System, what is the loyalty of Cao Zhang and Mulan?"
[Ding, Cao Zhang, and Mulan are absolutely loyal to the host! 】
"Oh, that's fine!"
Since it is absolute loyalty, then the military power can be controlled by the two of them, after all, the 100,000 incarnate realm of tigers and leopards, whoever is left in command will have their ambitions increase and become the princes of a place, right?
When the time comes, if you don't listen to the announcement, just like Wu Sangui at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it will be a real joke.
"Cao Zhang, your credit is not small, yesterday to suppress the demon queen, search the demon queen remnants, you should be the first credit!"
"Your Majesty is serious, this is the duty of the last general!"
Cao Zhang was very grateful, kneeling on the ground, his diligent appearance made Emperor Wu's heart warm, and it was still comfortable for his own people to use.
This group of courtiers who he was not worried about had to give up one by one, and wanted to change the blood of the entire court, turn it into the three provinces and six ministries system that he was familiar with, and strengthen his dictatorial imperial power.
"Haha, Ziwen (Cao Zhang's words) Mo is polite to me, I think you are the first merit, you are the first merit!"
Emperor Wu stood up, slowly walked down the imperial steps, and walked to Cao Zhang's side.
He took his hand, took him, and walked in front of the ministers.
"I spent three years lying on my salary to try my courage, investigating all the ills in Dazou's country, and then the demon queen rebelled, and what you did made me humiliated. As a great Zou minister, he is afraid of a mere sect, how do I think of you? ”
Emperor Wu Zhang Tianran paused, he turned his eyes to look at Cao Zhang, and then pointed at him and said: "Fortunately, there is Cao Zhang, Cao Ziwen has won my heart, and he commanded 100,000 tigers and leopards to ride and rescue." I think that his merits should be the first merit, and promote him to the rank of general of the protector of the country, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, do you have any objections? ”
Boy!
As soon as Emperor Wu made a decision, after this series of operations, this group of ministers really fell silent.
One by one, they nodded yes, without the slightest assertiveness of their own.
You must know that in terms of the control of an elite unit on weekdays, it is indispensable for this group of ministers to have some deep backgrounds.
Even the three thousand cultivator troops of Emperor Taizu's founding place, they all mixed up well, and there was originally no Tiger Talisman restriction, but in order to limit the imperial power, the ministers added the Tiger Talisman restriction.
In this way, it will be able to make the emperor's words not work at some special time.
For example, large-scale reforms have led to the fact that the imperial court system has become more and more bloated, and the problem of redundant officials has become more and more acute.
When and how the tiger talisman will disappear, the civil and official clique is premeditated.
This time, the 100,000 tigers and leopards are riding, and they can't mix it now.
This is also one of the reasons why Emperor Wu Zhang Tianran pretended to be such a tough and cold-blooded posture today, after all, the three major problems he wants to solve in this court meeting are the three major problems that must be solved under the current circumstances.
At present, the most conspicuous problem is military power.
Most of the military power, the emperor does not have at present.
Yes, the current military power is in the hands of the civilian clique in the court.
The only card that Emperor Wu could play in his hand was the 100,000 tiger and leopard cavalry he summoned, but the tiger and leopard cavalry was a tiger and leopard cavalry after all, and it could not replace Dazou's original troops to do the original thing.
"Since you have no objections, then I will appoint it like this!"
He looked around at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground, and he already had some confidence in his heart.
Since you eat hard and not soft, then I don't need to talk nonsense.
"The officers and soldiers of the four local towns were set up during the reign of the first emperor, if I remember correctly, it should be 80,000 people, right? General? ”
He looked at the white-haired old man kneeling beside him, and his gaze made him tremble with fright, and when he stood up, he was slow, as if he had been targeted by some wild beast.
"Back to Your Majesty, exactly!"
"Hmmm! That's right, can the general's current physical condition still control the officers and soldiers of the four towns? ”
"Huh? The last will not be, the last will not be! The last general is old and frail, and I implore Your Majesty to find someone else to take over! ”
The generals are now over 70 years old, and their physical fitness is declining very quickly, and the reason why they have been relying on the position of the general for a long time and refusing to come down is just that they want to continue to pave more roads for their juniors through the military power of the officers and soldiers of the four towns.
Unfortunately, he had the wrong idea.
Zhang Tianran didn't want to see the emergence of a warlord family replaced by his father and son, four towns, Zhenbei, Zhenxi, Zhennan, Zhendong, four road armies, each with 20,000 people, was the most elite army before the Dazou Empire.
If he was controlled by outsiders for a long time, how could he, the emperor, be at ease?
However, the general who is very observant is still very cunning, and he is directly willing to surrender the military power, which Emperor Wu did not expect that he would take back the military power of the four towns so easily.
"In that case, then I'm right! The general is old and frail, and I am not inconsiderate, so hand over the seal letter and go back to rest! ”
