The night is like ink, and there are no stars and no moon.

In the howling cold wind, the dense sound of horses' hooves sounded like thunder.

Due to the terrain in the city, the large army could not form a formation, so it could only be divided into separate formations.

Street battles were fought with the defenders in the city, and now there are not only soldiers and horses from the palace division and the city defense battalion in the city, but also the divine guards.

Moreover, since the last time King Yan mutiny forced the palace, Gu Yankai reorganized the front division of the palace under the instruction of Emperor Xining, and the ordnance of the front division of the palace and the city defense battalion were all replaced, not only increasing the garrison of the inner city, but also increasing the manpower and sentry above the tower of the imperial city, and equipped with a large number of divine arm crossbows.

The Great Song Dynasty was able to compete with the Western Xia and the Liao State for many years, although there were many defeats and few victories, but they still stuck to the territory, so that the Liao people did not dare to go south, and the Western Xia could only look at Guanzhong from afar but never allowed an inch to enter, relying on nothing more than two sharp weapons.

One is the world's best infantry armor, and the other is the unique divine arm crossbow, which is far beyond the ordinary bow and crossbow in terms of range and power.

The British Duke is a veteran general in the army, leading the troops for many years, and he has already thought of countermeasures in advance before entering the city.

The generals under his command all spilled out, and the soldiers and horses in the city who came to the aid started street battles in the streets and alleys, while Gu Er and Wang Zhong were entrusted with important tasks, with General Xiao Zheng and other young generals, each with a hundred light horses, constantly galloping to help.

"I am Gu Tingye, Marquis of Ningyuan, we have already found out the cause of death of the official family, the queen and the ministers, tonight is only for the Qing monarch side, get rid of the traitor! Brothers in the palace and the city defense battalion, don't be fooled by those traitors! ”

First use force to deter, and then pull and divide, what the Empress Dowager Cao relied on was just the prestige left by the first emperor, although the tiger died, the tiger still existed, but the love of this thing is limited after all, in the face of life and death, in the face of interests, there can be a few people who can stick to the original intention as always.

The battle lasted all night, both sides suffered a lot of losses, the British Duke and Gu Er's side, after all, still had the upper hand, the guards of each gate were either killed or surrendered, the soldiers and horses of the outer city and the inner city were surrendered one after another, and the defenders of each gate also became the soldiers and horses of the Qinwang army.

The people hid in their homes, closing the doors and windows for fear of being implicated.

I don't know when there was a trace of fish belly white in the sky, and after a night of fighting, everyone's faces also showed a little tiredness.

If the emperor and empress were not dead, I was afraid that everyone would have entered the palace at all costs last night, but now the emperor and empress have already been killed, and now the palace is the world of the Empress Dowager Cao, and the garrison of the imperial city is several times stricter than before.

In order to reduce their own losses, the British Duke and others chose to fight steadily, first pacifying the inner city and the outer city, removing worries, and then using a large army to surround the imperial city, with absolute superiority, the troops came to the city, and avoided accidents to the greatest extent.

The imperial city is not big, the defenders of Donghua Gate, Xihua Gate and Nanxun Gate add up to less than three thousand, and the imperial city is not a monolith, there are many city walls and palaces in the corners and corners that have long been in disrepair, and the female officials in the palace have secretly run out of the palace from these horns.

At this time, it was not someone else standing on the head of the Nanxun Gate, it was the Empress Dowager Cao's brother-in-law, the newly appointed commander of the Divine Guard Army, Cao Wenxuan.

"What are you doing here? Is it a rebellion? Cao Wenxuan looked at the army under the city, and his heart was both angry and worried.

The British Duke ignored Cao Wenxuan, who was jumping up and down on the city wall, and turned his head to look at Gu Er next to him, Gu Er immediately hit his horse forward, and said in a loud voice: "Brothers of the front division of the palace, I am Gu Tingye, Marquis of Ningyuan, the official family and the queen were victimized by traitors in the palace, and we raised troops today, only for the side of the Qing monarch, in addition to the traitors, and also the court and the Qing ······."

"Straight sissy thief!"

"Look for death!"

Cao Wenxuan, who was on the city tower, didn't give Gu Er a chance to rebel at all, and quickly snatched the divine arm crossbow from the crossbowman on his side, aimed at Gu Eryi's arrow and shot it.

"Shoot me to death these thieves!"

"Shoot them!"

An arrow was shot and dodged by Gu Er, Cao Wenxuan only felt angry and let out a hysterical roar, but roaring and roaring, Cao Wenxuan's voice stopped abruptly.

I saw a feather arrow with its tail still trembling, and it was inserted into Cao Wenxuan's neck like lightning, and the shoulder armor that wrapped around the neck was like tofu.

"Those who surrender will not die, and those who resist will not be killed!"

"Crossbowmen ready!"

Knock knock!

The dull sound of war drums resounded in the sky.

I saw that the British duke, whose beard was white, drew the long sword at his waist, and with a wave of his big hand, a well-driving railing was pushed to the front by the soldiers hiding behind the shield array.

Wang Chong also boarded the well railing early, holding a three-stone strong bow given by Gu Er in his hand, and Cao Wenxuan was killed by him with an arrow.

The defenders in the city have divine arm crossbows, but the men and horses brought by the British Duke and others are also the Tokyo Forbidden Army, and they are also equipped with divine arm crossbows, and the reason why the British Duke has to delay until this time to start attacking the imperial city is to wait for the reserve soldiers and horses to transport the well fence into the city.

The crossbowmen on the well fence also use divine arm crossbows, and the walls of the imperial city are not particularly high, well railings.

"Shoot!"

The British gave the order, the flag was waved, and on the well railing, the crossbowmen who were hiding behind the guards rose up and fired back.

Wang Chong's archery skills are so accurate, it can be said that he can penetrate the Yang in a hundred steps, pointing where to fight, and in less than ten breaths, a pot of arrows was shot empty, and above the city tower, fifteen defenders with divine crossbows died under his arrows.

A group of crossbowmen helped, and in an instant, it had a suppressive effect on the defenders on the tower.

The crossbowmen in the city, but anyone who dared to take the lead, would be hit hard, but in a moment, they were suppressed and could only hide behind the city wall.

plus Cao Wenxuan was shot to death,

"Siege!"

The drums are getting denser,

The British Duke gave the order again, pushed the ladder, and the foot soldiers of the siege vehicle began to step forward.

"Kill!"

In only half an hour, the Nanxun Gate was breached, and the army entered the imperial city.

In another half an hour, in the Daqing Palace, the Empress Dowager Cao, dressed in a crown robe, sat on the dragon chair, next to Zhao Ceyong in a dragon robe.

Looking at the fierce sergeant, the young Zhao Ceyong's face was full of fear, but the Empress Dowager Cao was not afraid, ignoring the people who rushed into the hall, and gently stroked the armrest of the dragon chair with her palm, as if she was feeling something.

"The eldest lady is so interested, it has come to this point, and she can still be so calm."

In front of Empress Dowager Cao, there were more than a dozen female officials and more than 20 cronies to escort her.

"Rebels and thieves!" Empress Dowager Cao looked at Gu Er, who was speaking, with an angry face.

"Rebels and thieves?" Gu Er sneered and said, "Don't you feel panicked when the eldest lady says this? ”

"Humph!"

Empress Dowager Cao's fierce gaze swept over everyone one by one.

The British Duke glared at Gu Er: "Zhong Huai! ”

Gu Er immediately bowed his hand and retreated slightly.

Wang Chong stepped forward and said: "The state has national law, the eldest lady rebelled, killed the official family and the queen, and successively killed many important members of the court such as Han Daxianggong, the crime is unforgivable, if the eldest lady does not want to be decent, the ministers do not mind helping the eldest lady to be decent." ”

"Prince Hou, you dare!" Empress Dowager Cao stood up, pointed at Wang Chong and reprimanded angrily: "The mourning family is the queen mother of the dynasty, you dare to commit a crime?" ”

Wang Chongdao: "The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people!" What's more, you're just the Queen Mother! ”

"Rebels and thieves!"

"Rebels and thieves!"

Empress Dowager Cao pointed at Wang Chong and scolded, but only scolded twice, only to see Wang Chong immediately pull the bow and arrow, only to hear a muffled sound, the feather arrow pierced the chest of an attendant who was blocking in front of the Empress Dowager Cao, and hit the front chest of the Empress Dowager Cao, and the huge force took her body away.

But this is not over, because the king re-shot a series of arrows, three arrows in a row, one arrow through the throat, one arrow through the lower abdomen, nailing the queen of grass to the dragon chair.

Zhao Ceyong next to him didn't come up in one breath and was frightened and fainted.

"You ·····" The British Duke and the others all looked at Wang Chong in shock, and the boss with his mouth open was obviously shocked by Wang Chong's sudden hand.

"Everyone!" Wang Zhong turned to face everyone and said loudly: "The matter has come to this, we have no choice, if we leave the Queen Mother, how should we deal with ourselves in the future?" ”

Wang Chong's words hit the hearts of everyone in the temple.

"The Queen Mother knows that her sin is extremely evil, and she has committed suicide in fear of sin!"

"For today's plan, it is to quickly find the six princes, support the six princes to ascend the throne, appease the people's hearts, and stabilize the dynasty."

As soon as Wang Chong's words came out, everyone's eyes lit up!

"What Master Wang said is extremely true, for today's plan, it is to find the six princes quickly!"

Compared with the dragon's work, what is the mere Empress Dowager Cao, she is dead.

Half a day later, all the corpses and blood were swept out of the palace, and the honorable military attachés were headed by the British Duke, and the Wenchen was headed by Wang Chong, and the six princes Zhao Cexun ascended the throne as the emperor in the Daqing Palace.

In the afternoon of the same day, written by Wang Chong, the holy decree stamped by the British public spread throughout Tokyo, which stated that the Empress Dowager Cao and the Cao family rebelled, killed the emperor and the empress, and murdered the prime minister Han Zhang and many other important officials, and destroyed the details of the whole house.

Among the military attachés, the British Duke was awarded the title of Lieutenant, leading the Privy Envoy, and was in charge of the Tokyo Forbidden Army, General Zheng Lao was named the Pillar State, and the Privy Deputy Envoy, and the rest of the noble generals were promoted, Gu Er was also reinstated, and the official was reinstated, and the former secretary of the Consulate was the commander of the position, responsible for guarding the imperial city and purging the traitors.

Among the civil officials, Han Daxianggong was killed, two of the six Shangshu were lost at once, and two more had already colluded with the Empress Dowager Cao, and among the civil officials, there were not a few who fell to the Empress Dowager.

In the rest of the people, they searched over and over again, and finally the one who was pushed to the stage became Wu Laoshangshu of the Ministry of Industry in his seventies, and Wang Chong became the deputy of Zheng Laoshangshu and became the deputy minister of the dynasty.

Wu Lao Shangshu is old and faint, saying that he is Zaifu, but in fact he is a mascot, and he also knows that he was only pushed out and placed in front of the stage, and he does not interfere in political affairs.

Even Sheng Hong, an old fritter who has always been left and right in the officialdom, was also promoted to an official and received an errand from the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

And Changbai, not to mention, received the deputy envoy of salt and iron, temporarily in charge of salt affairs, and Rulan's minister, Yan Yanjing, received an errand of general judgment and sent it to the local government.

The news of Empress Dowager Cao's murder of Zhao Zongquan and Empress Shen had just been released, and it immediately caused an uproar in the court.

Fortunately, there were British Duke and General Zheng Lao and others in charge, and the case of the Queen Mother's rebellion was reached, but there was a result in ten days, of which there were as many as 100 officials involved, and even the Duke of Qi was implicated.

Although the little grandfather Qi Heng doesn't know the inside story, he has always been a supporter of the Empress Dowager Cao, and he is the mainstay of the Empress Dowager Cao's forces.

Nearly 100 officials involved in the case were not spared, but fortunately, most of them were not deeply implicated, or were punished, or degraded, only more than ten people were dismissed, and there were seven or eight people who were most involved in the case, who were exiled from their homes and assassinated in the frontier.

Under the suggestion of Wang Chong, because the emperor is too young, in order to prevent the situation of too concentrated power, the position of Zai Fu is changed to the election system, and it must be re-elected every three years, at most three consecutive terms, that is, nine years, and the requirements for candidates are also extremely strict, first of all, the official rank, at least from the second grade.

Wang Chong's proposal was controversial when it was first introduced, but as time went on, officials realized the benefits and it didn't take long for it to be officially implemented.

In the third year of Chengping, Wu Laoshangshu resigned from the post of Zaifu, and Wang Zhong took over, starting the road of reform of boiling frogs.

Wang Chong knows very well that in today's world, all strata have been solidified, and if he rashly carries out reforms and changes, before he succeeds, he is estimated to become a thorn in the side of all privileged strata, a thorn in the flesh, and he hates to get rid of himself quickly.

It is that Wang Zhong was not impatient, but steady and steady, first under the Privy Council to add a military aircraft department, and then under the Guozijian to set up a military supervisor, for the imperial court to train military attachés, at the same time in the states and provinces to add military courts, the military academy is subordinate to the military supervisor, in the states and provinces to recruit children of good families, first teach reading and literacy, and then teach the art of martial arts, layer by layer, the right to delegate the martial arts examination to the military supervisor, but in just a few years, for the imperial court to send hundreds of grassroots officers.

The second thing Wang redid was to increase the rights of the six ministries, the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Works remained unchanged, only the rights and benefits were increased, the Ministry of Household gradually took over the financial power from the hands of the three divisions, and the Ministry of War was responsible for the front and appointment and dismissal of the military attachés.

Merge the Imperial Court and the Imperial Historical Observatory into the Metropolitan Inspectorate, the highest official of the Imperial Court is the Left Imperial Prince, and the deputy is the Right Imperial Governor, which are the second rank and the second rank respectively.

In the seventh year of Chengping, the fourth year of Wang Chong's succession as Zaifu, he began to change the chaotic system of ranks, officials, and dispatches in the imperial court, that is, the official system of the Ming and Qing dynasties was adopted.

For the people, the imperial court vigorously encouraged the common people to do business, popularized the potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes brought back from overseas throughout the country, encouraged innovation, vigorously developed production without encroaching on the power of the existing class for the time being, and popularized all kinds of new agricultural tools and cultivation methods and concepts throughout the world.

In the same year, under the leadership of Wang Chong, the 'one whip' law began to be implemented in the world, that is, the land endowment, forced labor and other miscellaneous levies of various states and counties were combined into one article, and the silver taels were collected together, and the payment was converted according to the mu.

Chengping ten years, it is already the third time Wang Chong was elected as the chief assistant, in a whip law to implement the world three years later, Wang Chong once again implemented the policy of apportioning the land into the mu, the fire consumption returned to the public, and the officials and gentry paid the grain as one.

Although it caused a lot of opposition in the court, at this time, Wang Zhong had been in power for many years, and his prestige had already reached its peak, and with the full support of Gu Er, the privy envoy in charge of all the forbidden armies in Tokyo, and the intelligence agency developed after Xiaoduan annexed the Imperial Castle Division, although there were some waves, this law was still implemented.

In the twelfth year of Chengping, Wang Chong resigned from the position of Zaifu, was named Taishi, and received the post of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, but no one wanted to overthrow the various policies implemented by Wang Chong, and no one wanted to help the emperor who had become a mascot to regain power, because they had tasted the sweetness of the election system, and they didn't want to have another person who could judge their life and death with a word, and ride on their heads to and pee.

Moreover, the six departments, five temples and three law divisions perform their duties, and in terms of the army, with the implementation of the military court, with the filling of the treasury, and the reforms implemented by Gu Er in the army, the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty has become stronger and stronger, and even won victory in the Western Xia several times by taking advantage of the fire and robbing.

It seems that without the emperor, the court is better!

······

"Whew!"

On the sofa in the living room, Wang Chong, who was half of his body sunk into the soft leather sofa, woke up slowly, looked at the familiar environment around him, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The past few decades of the copy of "Do You Know" have been much more interesting than all the previous copy worlds.

With the power of one person, change the direction of the whole world, a feudal monarchy country, advanced to a stage similar to the constitutional monarchy, although Wang Zhong does not know where the world will go in the future, one day, the imperial power will be above all living beings again, but at least now, Wang Zhong has a lot of sense of accomplishment.

The copy world has been in the world for decades, and the reality is only a moment.

Wang Zhong got up and drank a glass of water, sat back on the sofa, and then called the system.
