The soldiers who fled back to Anye City reported the accident outside the city to the government, and the local officials were shocked, arrested the winner's son, and sent him to Chang'an is the emperor's personal edict to the local government, but now the winner's son has escaped, not to mention, the pursuit troops sent out are almost all wiped out,

They know what this means, the last place where the son of the winner appears is Anye City, and if he can't catch him, the local government will be punished by the emperor, but now the seven Ouchi masters sent by the imperial court have all been killed, and hundreds of elite defenders have been defeated, and countless dead and wounded,

A series of accidents have caused a great deterrent to the Anye City government, they are worried that if they can't catch the son of the winner, they will be punished by the emperor, but on the other hand, Anye City, which has few soldiers and few generals and insufficient military strength, really has no courage to send people to pursue again.

The local officials were helpless, and the county commander of Anye had to rush to Chang'an overnight to report the accident in Anye City to the imperial court

…………

Above the Xuanzheng Palace, Emperor Long Yan was furious, looking at several kneeling officials of Anye Mansion under the Great Highness and reprimanded angrily

"You group of rice buckets, what do you eat for the imperial court, there are thousands of defenders in Anye City, so many of you can't catch the remnants of the winner, and now you are embarrassed to come to Chang'an, you tell me, what is the use of the imperial court for you",

The emperor's face was full of anger, the failure of this arrest and the absconding of the winner's son meant that he would be out of the control of the Jingshi, and it would not be so easy to catch him in the future, and once he went to the Tiger Prison Pass and met with the White Tiger, no one knew what kind of turmoil it would cause, and the old department of the Winner's Army had always been a dangerous factor for the emperor to be restless.

And the son of the winner is the emperor's lingering nightmare for many years, many courtiers can't figure out why the tiger prison is so jealous of the emperor, why the emperor is so jealous, and the winner of the Wuxian collusion with Xirong back then, plotting to rebel, such a big rebellion in the hearts of the people can be described as a rebellion that everyone can get and condemn

Let's not talk about whether his subordinates are separated from him or not, if he takes 10,000 steps back, even if the old department of the winner army really rebels one day, it will not be able to reach an uncontrollable point like the Tianbao Rebellion

Win Wuxian is a thief, his subordinates raised troops in order to avenge him, and after years of attrition in the western countries, the current winner army is only a few tens of thousands of people, a small scale, what kind of climate can an army that is unpopular with the people,

The courtiers didn't know what the emperor was afraid of, but the real reason was only known to a very small number of ministers such as the emperor and Prime Minister Yang Guan, after all, the truth about Ying Wuxian's killing was only in the hands of the emperor and these very few ministers.

16 years ago, in order to recover the eastern capital Luoyang occupied by the rebels, the imperial court borrowed 100,000 troops from Xiqi, and Xiqi promised to borrow troops, but the premise was that the imperial court handed over the head of the general of Zhenxi to win the deadless, and the emperor sent the former Zhenxi heroes to the guillotine in order to recover the eastern capital.

This is the truth that the general of Zhenxi won the death without sacrifice, and it is also a secret that has been sealed in the emperor's heart for many years, what really scares the emperor is not the army of the Tiger Prison Pass, but the hearts of the people in the world, if the truth of the Tiger Prison Pass is made public, it will be enough to make the emperor fall into an unkind and unjust situation, and the Tang Dynasty will also lose the hearts of the people because of this,

Therefore, the emperor has been chasing the son of the winner for so many years, just to completely erase the unspeakable secret sealed in his heart.

But right now, the son of the winner, who has disappeared for 16 years, finally appeared in Anye City, and the court dispatched so many masters to let the other party run away, how can this make the emperor not feel angry

Several officials of Anye City kneeling under the main hall trembled, bowing their heads one by one, not daring to look at the emperor, and the county commander of Anye looked at the emperor tremblingly

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, after we received the edict from the imperial court, we blocked the whole city to arrest the son of the winner, and later, when the master of the inner hall, Han Gonggong, ordered to lure people out of the suburbs of Anye City, we even dispatched hundreds of elites to arrest the son of the winner, but it was just ......

It's just that the latter is too powerful, the seven Ouchi masters sent by the imperial court were all killed, and our army was even more defeated, with countless casualties, and ...... And according to the confession of the soldier who came back alive, there was also a master by the side of the winner's son at that time, this person was strong and powerful, and he broke the elite shield array of the dynasty with just one blow, and slaughtered hundreds of soldiers in a short time, and the master Han Gonggong was killed in the hands of the other party with a snap of his fingers, Your Majesty, it's not that the little ones don't do things well, it's really these two people who are too powerful,"

Anye County Commander was bitter, his eyes were full of fear, the son of the winner fled from under his eyelids, he was afraid that the emperor would implicate his anger on them,

The emperor was furious, it was obvious that the latter's explanation did not satisfy him, the escape of the winner's son made the emperor extremely angry, and what Anye County Commander was stating now seemed to him to be just looking for an excuse to shirk responsibility

The emperor looked at the latter and reprimanded sharply, "What's the use of you making so many excuses, to put it bluntly, it's not that the Anye government is incompetent, the edict to expand the army has been issued for many days, Tongguan and Pizhou have gathered talents in a short period of time and enhanced military preparedness, why can't you Anye City,

The winner Yu Sin and a helper will defeat your entire Anye Mansion, in the final analysis, it is not that you can't take out a few towns in the whole place, the imperial court has allocated so much silver to Anye Mansion this year, that is, let you recruit talents, gather people of folk martial arts, but now that the money is spent, what about the people you recruit", Emperor Long Yan was furious, and roared at the officials of Anye City under the main hall,

Everyone was shocked and panicked when they heard this, and the Anye County Order couldn't stop trembling, kneeling on the ground and trembling, unable to say a word.

The ministers of the palace were all heavy-faced, without saying a word, the meaning of the emperor's words was already obvious, he was so angry in the face of the Anye City government this time, not only because the son of the winner was out of control and angry with the local government, but more importantly, Anye Mansion has been corrupt and extravagant over the years, and the corruption atmosphere is prevalent, the emperor's dissatisfaction with the officialdom of Anye City has not been a day or two, he has long had the idea of rectifying the local government, and this time the Anye Mansion is not effective, As a result, the son of the winner escaped, which strengthened the emperor's determination to rectify corrupt officials and corrupt officials

The emperor snorted coldly, looked at a group of officials of Anye City under His Royal Highness, and reprimanded in a deep voice, "Where is the silver allocated by the imperial court to you to expand the army and collect the money from the folk martial arts masters, you can't say, I will tell you for you, all the silver and salary allocated by the imperial court to Anye Mansion for the expansion of the army have gone into the pockets of you corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and all of them have filled your pockets."

The Son of Heaven was furious, and there was murderous intent in the emperor's eyes

The officials of Anye Mansion under His Royal Highness trembled one by one, and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, begging the emperor to spare their lives, and the Anye County Commander was even more frightened, and he knelt on the ground and couldn't say a word

Watching these inactive officials kneel and beg for mercy and confess to the crimes they committed, the emperor did not show the slightest soft-heartedness, for the local government, the emperor hated corruption and inaction the most.

He snorted coldly and angrily reprimanded at a group of corrupt officials who kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Anye City is affiliated with the Jingshi, and the policy of giving priority to the people has been implemented for many years, but the people's livelihood in Anye City has withered, and the people's lives have not improved in the slightest, and the imperial court's edict on the expansion of the army has also been promulgated for many days, but the military combat strength of Anye City has not changed in the slightest, all because of the corruption of you inactive officials, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the edge of the imperial city still dares to act so recklessly, it is tolerable and unbearable, and it is not enough to kill you to make the people angry, If I don't kill you, it's not enough to be official, and if I don't kill you, it's hard to solve the hatred in my heart

Come on, drag this group of corrupt officials out and behead them for public display," the emperor reprimanded sharply, and then ordered the execution of the royal forest soldiers outside the main hall,

The officials of Anye repented of their mistakes, kowtowed and begged for mercy one by one, begging the emperor to spare their lives, but it was too late, several royal guards wearing gold armor rushed into the main hall, and in the blink of an eye, they controlled the corrupt officials kneeling under the main hall.

The wails of the corrupt officials, begging for mercy, resounded throughout the hall, but they were soon escorted out of the court by the royal guards, and after a while, the shouts of the corrupt officials came to an abrupt end, and the sound of heads falling to the ground, blood splattered three feet,

The emperor was angry and executed several high-ranking officials of Anye Mansion in the court, which caused a strong deterrent to His Royal Highness's ministers, the son of the winner absconded, the Son of Heaven was furious, and all His Highness's ministers were in danger, and they all bowed their heads and did not dare to speak, for fear that the emperor would settle accounts after the autumn like the officials of Anye Mansion, and move his anger to himself, and the court was quiet for a while, and the atmosphere was also depressed to the extreme.

After executing a group of corrupt officials, the emperor closed his eyes and stopped for a while, calmed down the anger in his heart a little, and then turned his head to look at Cao Zhang, the head of Ouchi, and asked, "Didn't you say that the people you sent this time were foolproof, why didn't the winner Yu Sin get back, and he also put his own life on the line, and your subordinates were all rice buckets?"

The emperor rebuked, all the masters sent by the imperial court this time were Cao Zhang's subordinates, and they were also the people who were sent to monitor the Enwang Mansion at the beginning.

The old eunuch's face was solemn, and after hearing the emperor's question, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the people sent out by the old slave this time are all masters of 5 layers of cultivation or above, and it is said that it is enough to deal with a winner's remnant, but the old slave didn't expect that there were other helpers around the winner's remnant, which led to today's result, this is the old slave's mistake, and please punish Your Majesty",

Cao Zhang pleaded guilty, the old eunuch was shrewd and calculating, he knew that the emperor was angry at the moment, no matter how good the explanation was, in the eyes of the emperor, he was exculpating responsibility, and the best way was to take the initiative to confess his guilt in order to reduce the anger in the emperor's heart.

The emperor snorted coldly, and after hearing Cao Zhang's words, he didn't say anything more, but turned his head to look at the Taiwei and asked, "After the master of the Great Interior, General Qin also set off with the Imperial Forest Army, where is he now?"

Taiwei's face was heavy, he thought for a moment and then looked at the emperor and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, General Qin has just sent news that he has now arrived in Anye City and is planning the next step in the arrest of the winner's son."
