A bright red door opened towards Liu Zhennian.

The field outside the city was empty, and there was no crowd around to greet them, except for a few defenders standing behind the city gates, looking at the returning army and the smoke and dust rising on all sides.

Liu Zhennian was speechless, only gently pulled the reins and walked over slowly. He still clearly remembers the grand occasion when he set out, it was the prince and hundreds of officials in the road, the cannons and drums sounded in unison, the streets were crowded with people, singing praises and shouting tsunami, the noise was endless, and it was very lively. But when he came back to his senses, all these scenes were swept away, and all that was left was a cold wall, flags flying in the cold wind, and only the sound of horses' hooves rattling in his ears.

"Phew, phew." Liu Zhennian walked to the iron gate at the gate of the city, pulled the horses, and looked at the sergeants with cold eyes, "How many of you...... Are you here to greet me? ”

The sergeants looked at him as if his face was dead, for fear of angering him, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, the villains have been ordered by the prince to come to greet the prime minister." I heard that you have made great contributions to the party during your southern tour, and the whole court is extremely happy, and is waiting for the prime minister to enter the palace to restore his life, and tell you all the reasons for the matter. This is really a major event in history, and it is expected that there will be no shortage of gifts. ”

Liu Zhennian sneered: "I am now extremely famous, what gift do I hope the emperor will give?" However, he did a few things to contribute to the court. So saying, he caught the horse between his legs, and went into the city without looking back.

Cai Xianqing was in the back team at this time, looking at Liu Zhennian's disheartened appearance from afar, he couldn't help but walk to Ye Yongjia's side, and said sideways: "How majestic Liu Zhennian was back then, who in the world is not afraid of him?" Who would have thought that it could be reduced to today. ”

Ye Yongjia's face was expressionless: "Yes, Liu Dang is now barely breathing, and he won't live for a few moments." ”

He can also be regarded as the hero of a generation, and in the past few years, he has strictly curbed corruption and carried out new policies, which is different from the mediocre generation. If this big tree falls, what will become of the court? Have you thought about it? Cai Xianqing looked at his face again and asked.

Ye Yongjia was a little unhappy: "I didn't think about it. But Liu Zhennian befriended his henchmen everywhere and suppressed ministers, which is well known to discerning people. Although Gao Jizhi's style is the same as these people, but the so-called 'lesser of two evils', I hate the willow thief to the core, he can avenge me and comfort my father's heavenly spirit, but the big thing in my heart! ”

"Also, I don't think he deserves to be called a 'man of a generation'. He made those new coup d'état laws in order to consolidate his power, and once he gained, he would stop it, and he had no intention of saving the country at all! The tragedy that occurred in Fuguang Province is still vivid! ”

Cai Xianqing smiled slightly and shook his head: "It seems that Lord Ye still doesn't understand." Now that he is here, the situation can at least be cleaned up, and we also have the opportunity to implement the new policy; If the Yanagi Party really falls, it will not bring peace to the government, but endless party struggle. In a multi-party scuffle, you fight for me, how can you issue a unified order to the outside world? At that time, you and I heroes will be useless, and will only become a tool for party struggle. ”

"It's nothing more than the high party on behalf of the Liu party, where does the chaos come from?" Ye Yongjia didn't think so, followed closely with the team in front of him, and walked into the city.

The group waited in the palace and went back to the government office to rest, but Liu Zhennian went to the main hall to report to the prince of the prison country. The crown prince was given the emperor's edict and praised the governance of the party, and named Liu Zhennian as the prince of the country, and his descendants were all marquises, and he was allowed to be a living temple; The rewards of Gao Jizhi, Su Zongshan and others are not counted. He also ordered the Criminal Department to arrest Niu Yuan's party members and torture them in order to catch them all. Shi Zhengxiu was also reinstated because of the righteous act exposed, but when he heard that Su Zongshan was safe, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Liu Gong has always been vigorous and resolute, and he is not merciful to others. This person's immortality is not a fluke, and sooner or later I will have a catastrophe! After that, he hanged himself in the mansion angrily and died of anger.

When Comrade Chen returned home with the reward, he didn't look happy, but just took out a firewood box from under the bed and stuffed it in. After cleaning up, he was just about to walk out of the house, when he suddenly saw a person standing at the door to report, who was the henchman sent to lobby Wan Heshun that day. He listened to this man's reply and learned that after Liu Zhennian left Kaifeng, Wan Heshun also returned to the east, leaving only a handwritten letter with him, which said: 'The power thief has lost his arm, and the Liu Party will decline. This is a good opportunity given to my emperor by God, and I hope that Chen Shilang will pay attention to the society and complete a great success! ’

Chen Tongbei was excited when he read the letter, so he took the messenger to the ministry and handed it over to Gao Jizhi to see. Gao Jizhi saw that he had a relationship with Wan Heshun, but he couldn't communicate with him, and he didn't claim power at all.

"Okay, with Wan Heshun's support, what do you want to do?" When Gao Jizhi said this, he felt that his thoughts were being controlled by his comrades Chen.

Comrade Chen held the corner of the letter and replied lightly: "In the past, we discussed on our own, and we never dared to alarm the emperor. But now the situation is different, our forces are so strong that they have overshadowed the Liu Party, and with the support of foreign ministers like King Wanjun, who hold military power, it can be said that the victory is in hand. You must know that Wan Heshun is a tool used by the emperor to balance the Liu Party, and now he doesn't plan to maintain this balance, what reason does the emperor have to support it? As long as we go to see His Majesty in person and explain our intentions, we will get the emperor's approval. Once the edict is obtained, it only takes one night to extinguish the willow thief. ”

Gao Jizhi had no reason to refute him, so he had to nod his head like a puppet, but he wanted to maintain his vain position in a serious tone: "Gongxuan is right, we should give it a go." Let's go, let's go meet the emperor. ”

"Oh, don't be in a hurry about this!" Chen Tongpao hurriedly said, "It's better to go and meet the prince first, let him talk to the two clans' bans first, and then go to the emperor along this road." Otherwise, if you are not prepared, how can you convince the Son of Heaven if you make a surprise visit? ”

Gao Jizhi was full of shame, and even felt that Comrade Chen was deliberately humiliating him, but he couldn't see any clues from the other party's face.

"Everything is up to Chen Shilang."

He stood up slowly, walked out of the lobby with his fellow Chen, and called the bookstore to open the door. The two clerks stepped forward and pulled a door panel each, but the door was closed tightly and did not move; Gao Jizhi was already sullen, but when he saw this scene, he was even more angry, and immediately scolded: "Why can't you even open the door?" ”

The two bookstores were scolded, and their hearts became more and more impatient, so they pulled the door hard, but the strength was great, and the door panel suddenly opened, and a cold wind rushed to the face, hitting Gao Jizhi's face. Gao Jizhi was suddenly blown by the wind, and he fell two steps and was about to faint.
