Chapter 73: Imperial Power and Loyalty

Taikang Imperial City is located in the center of Daye City, although it covers an area of only more than 200 acres, but because it is three zhang higher than the surrounding buildings, the flat land is three zhang higher, and it seems to be majestic in all directions.

Placed at the four gates of the imperial city, eight groups of sixteen huge Zhenyun stone beasts with hideous images have witnessed the rise and glory of the Taikang Imperial Song Clan.

For nearly a hundred years, no one dared to challenge the dignity of the Song family.

But today, it has collapsed more than ten zhang outward, forming a huge stone palace wall in the northern section of the imperial city that leads directly to the stone path in the imperial city, and the blood stains that have not been washed away can be seen everywhere between the collapsed stone walls, which silently proves the fact that the dignity of the royal family has been swept to the ground.

Because he returned to the city much earlier than Zhao Yan, Tang Yuyang and the old eunuch Tang still rode the big red horse, and he pulled the reins to make the running sweaty horse stop galloping and stop at the collapsed palace wall.

Although he had just returned from outside the city, he was already very clear about what kind of big situation was going on here in the Imperial City that he heard the two dull thunders that were very short of a short time apart on the way back.

"Why is it so slow to clean up? Why hasn't the requisitioned forbidden army come over yet? What are you doing as a steward to eat? What is Luo Yeqiu, the commander of the forbidden army, eating? Don't you know that Your Majesty is angry? If you don't want a head, then make it clear in advance, don't involve others!"

Finding that there was a serious shortage of manpower, the old eunuch Tang, who was in an extremely bad mood at the moment, summoned the steward eunuch who was commanding a hundred and ten eunuchs and the forbidden army of the imperial city, and was slowly cleaning up the ruins.

"If you go back to the Tang Dynasty, it's not that the slaves and maids are unfavorable, it's really because there are really no manpower! Those demons of the extreme Taoism not only used demon methods to collapse this place, but also used demon methods to collapse the Alluring City Death Prison, and the manpower is ......."

The eunuch in charge showed a look of great fear, he explained tremblingly, but before he finished speaking, his collar was grabbed by the old eunuch Tang, and then the whole person was lifted up in the air.

"The demons of the Extreme Taoist Sect really collapsed the Allure City Death Prison?! Are you sure it's the Allure City Death Prison? Not the Zhenwusi Prison?!"

He easily lifted the eunuch in charge and asked the old eunuch Tang who was close to his eyes.

"It's just that the city is in prison, I heard and heard what Chen Lao said and said from afar. ”

The frightened face was pale, and the bean-sized beads of sweat rolled out, and the steward eunuch stammered and replied with all his might.

This time, the unlucky steward eunuch finally got the opportunity to finish his words, and after he finished speaking, Old Eunuch Tang casually threw the steward eunuch out of the house.

When he reacted again, the unlucky steward eunuch found that he was standing firmly on a ruined wall about ten paces away from the old eunuch Tang who was riding a horse.

And the old eunuch Tang shook the reins, bypassed the collapsed palace wall of more than ten zhang, and walked towards the north gate of the palace.

"Father-in-law Qian, father-in-law Qian, you have nothing to do......"

When the big red horse of the old eunuch Tang walked away, a few little eunuchs who followed hurriedly threw down the surroundings of the eunuch in charge, and shouted for warmth in a continuous voice.

It's a pity that this round of sycophants slapped on the horse's hooves.

"Get out, get out of here, don't you all go to our house to clean up the ruins! If you can't get it out before dark, before our family's heads hit the ground, you rabbit cubs' heads don't want to be saved!"

The eunuch's face turned blue and white for a while, and then he scolded his followers.

This death threat obviously had an effect, and those sturdy little eunuchs dared to continue to pat themselves on the back, and they hurriedly found a place to move bricks and stones.

Before dark, a barrier was cleared and the inside and outside of Miyagi were temporarily separated with wood and cloth.

This is the order that the eunuch in charge received, and now this order seems to have turned into a life amulet.

As an old man in the palace, Grandpa Qian knows very well that Old Eunuch Tang can definitely do what he says.

With seven points of fear and three points of resentment, Father-in-law Qian glanced in the direction where the old eunuch Tang had gone, and then rolled up his sleeves and lifted a huge stone weighing at least three or four hundred catties.

Damn!

Those damn extreme Taoist demons who gave birth to sons with rotten assholes, and who are not allowed to live after death, you have made our family miserable!

In his heart, Father-in-law Qian cursed to death for not knowing what method Lu Dao used to collapse the palace city and then attack those extreme Taoist demons.

This father-in-law didn't notice at all that he was struggling to move bricks and stones on this section of the collapsed palace wall, and the collapsed objects were actually radial, and there was a large blackened pit in the center.

Father-in-law Qian, who was sweating, just smelled the strong smell of sulfur, which made him very unhappy.

And when Gonggong Qian was sweating like rain, the old eunuch Tang, who made him feel the threat of death, had already entered the inner court from the north gate of the palace and came to the Kangle Hall where His Majesty the Emperor was located.

After the little eunuch who accompanied him reported, Old Eunuch Tang was summoned at the first time.

"Tang Banban, can you see clearly, what kind of person is that Zhao Yan? Could it be like the secret agent said, a genius from heaven. ”

Sitting behind the imperial case piled up with bamboo slips, Emperor Taikang, who was wearing a black regular robe, used it because he was tired or ...... Suppressed anger, so crisp no longer slightly hoarse voice, without raising his head asked.

His Majesty the Emperor, looking at the age of twenty-one or twelve, with slender willow eyebrows and a face like melon seeds, although his face was tired, it was difficult to hide the natural beauty of his bright eyes and bright teeth.

Yes, it's a natural beauty.

Because His Majesty, the emperor who wears a small golden crown in the shape of a dragon, is a 100% woman.

Perhaps in the Earth World, it is very unusual to have an empress, but in this world where strength is respected and men and women are more equal, there is nothing strange about women being called lonely and widowed.

At this moment, Empress Taikang, who was sitting here, was looking at a bamboo slip in front of her with resolute eyes.

"Back to His Majesty, that Zhao Erlang is really a genius, the old slave checked his words and looked at his deeds, and found that he seemed to be not interested in martial arts, but more concerned about the things of the wind and snow. In addition, Zhao Erlang and his brother Zhao Pu seem to have a very deep brotherhood, and his brother killed the archery martial arts master of the Extreme Taoist Sect in order to protect him this time. ”

Unlike in the TV series, Old Eunuch Tang did not kneel on the ground with soft bones, but just bowed down and said clearly.

"Zhao Pu?" the young Empress Taikang finally looked up at the old eunuch Tang: "I remember this name, the son of the prince of Rongyang County, he is as loyal to Taikang as the prince of the county. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Rongyang County Gongmen has been loyal to the martyrs for generations, and he is a rare trustworthy and loyal minister. It's just that Zhao Erlang's ambition is ridiculous, he just wants to be the best in the world. ”

Old Eunuch Tang continued carefully and carefully.

"The number one in the world, there are few evils, in the world, there are people with such strange aspirations?"

The young Empress Taikang had a clear look of doubt in her eyes.

At first, the old slave didn't believe it, but after careful inquiry, the old slave felt that what Zhao Erlang said should be true. ”

Old Eunuch Tang bowed and replied.

"Should it be true?"

The young Empress Taikang narrowed her eyes.

"Your Majesty, the Rongyang County Gongmen has been loyal to the martyrs for generations. ”

Old Eunuch Tang said again.

"Yes, the Rongyang County Gongmen has been loyal to the martyrs for generations. ”

The empress glanced up at the old eunuch Tang, and then lowered her head and continued to check the bamboo slip without saying a word.

After a long time, the Empress finally spoke again, and she said—

"Tang Banban, together with the Duke of Rongyang County, the Extreme Dao Demon that you captured was robbed. I remember you said at the beginning, without this demon presiding, the remnants of extreme Taoism...... I can't turn up the big waves. ”

Before the empress could finish speaking, the old eunuch Tang had already puffed and fell to his knees on the floor that was recognizable.

"Tang Banban, what did that living mouth confess?"

I don't know how long it took for the young empress to finally ask again.

"Your Majesty, here is the confession that was personally interrogated by the old slave and recorded by Zhao Yan, the second son of the Duke of Rongyang County. ”

Donald didn't look up, and pulled out the confession from his sleeve.
