After a long time, the old man coughed awkwardly and begged for mercy: "Okay, you don't have to say it." I know, this time you're right. Okay, you will go and strictly investigate the case of Pei Yanling and Dou Shen, and I will not interfere. In addition, I am also willing to contribute my personal money to the national treasury. Tomorrow, you will bring Pei Yanling and Dou Shen to see me. I want to scold these two traitors in front of me. I just asked them to be responsible for collecting the tributes and tributes of filial piety from all over the country, but I didn't expect them to use the power I gave them to sell their officials and lords to corrupt the law. I am indeed at fault, but I can't spare these two traitors. ”

Xiao Yunhe sighed: "Father is wise!" He secretly said in his heart: The old man has opened his mind, he doesn't want to be dragged into the water by Pei Yanling and Dou Shen and become a sinner who has been scolded by others!

The old man shook his head helplessly, and said to himself: "When you were in Fengtian, you also saw the death of Princess Tang'an. I was in pain and hatred in my heart. An emperor without money really accomplishes nothing. Since then, I have realized the importance of money. I just want to save some extra money for a rainy day. I didn't expect it, but it became such a situation...... That's it, that's it. No matter what I do, I always end up in a bad way. I can't manage the affairs of this world, and I don't bother to take care of them. The world of Great Qi, along with my private affairs, will be handed over to you. Although the treasury is empty, my selfishness is not necessarily empty. Take this money and do what you want to do! I am only in this Xuanwu Palace, cultivating my mind and cultivating my nature, and I don't want to care about anything anymore. ”

"Father is wise!" Xiao Yunhe was overjoyed: Is this what Li Mi said, an unexpected gain? How much money did the old man, the emperor who had accumulated wealth, get by his side?

The old man smiled bitterly: "If I were really wise, I wouldn't be in the situation I am in today." ”

Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly, stood aside and stopped talking. was waiting for the emperor to open his mouth and let him go, but he didn't expect the old man to do so, but looked at himself intently.

A moment later. The old man's voice called in a deep voice: "Li Mo......"

Xiao Yunhe was slightly stunned, and bowed his hand: "Erchen is here." ”

The old man had never looked at Xiao Yunhe so seriously, and his eyes became deep and dignified, and there seemed to be a penetrating force in it, wanting to see through Xiao Yunhe. Xiao Yunhe felt a little unaccustomed to it, and met the old man's eyes, but he couldn't read what he was thinking at the moment.

"Perhaps...... I was really wrong. The old man looked at Xiao Yunhe like this. "I didn't see you clearly from the beginning, and I still don't." I've never felt so strange to you as I do now. What exactly do you ...... Or is it not the son of my second brother who died young, as I am familiar with?"

Xiao Yunhe didn't feel Wan'er, and replied with a smile indifferently: "Of course it is." ”

"Then why ......," the old man's brow furrowed. Extremely puzzled, "In the past few years, you have changed so much? I watched you grow up, for more than 20 years, when did you learn martial arts, when did you learn the art of war? and when." With such a deep scheming and an amazing city, this qiē is incredible. I've imagined countless times trying to figure out why you're making these changes. But they couldn't explain what they saw...... A royal prince who is unlearned and unskilled has become a genius of Wen Taowu in an instant. Who would believe such a thing if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes?"

Xiao Yunhe couldn't do anything else except smile. He couldn't explain to the old man why this happened. Do you want to sue him, now Li Mo's body contains the soul of Emperor Taizong of Great Qi?

"I can only say ......" Xiao Yunhe made a helpless expression, "Father doesn't know me too much." ”

The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I knew this was the case...... Why don't I just make you the crown prince?"

This is a short sentence. But it stirred up a huge wave in Xiao Yunhe's heart: Old man, would you actually think about making me the prince?!

The old man continued with a wry smile and said sadly, "It's not that I want to please you. In fact...... After the First Battle of Fengtian, seeing the huge contrast between you and the crown prince before, I really had this kind of thought. I will make you a reserve. Because I know that you are not something of the pool. Sooner or later, you will take the thunder to the sky. Your talent and courage are exactly what you need today. However, just as I was just having a little bit of this mind, someone dissuaded me from this idea. And this person is now the most important staff member by your side. ”

"Who?" Xiao Yunhe was extremely stunned.

The old man raised his mouth and smiled: "Li Yu." ”

"It's him!" At this moment, Xiao Yunhe was really surprised. He couldn't have imagined that Li Mi had come to see the emperor once in Mukden and said something -- he was actually talking about his own affairs!

"Yes, it's Li Yu. The old man smiled and said, "I can't imagine it, right? Li Mi, who is now respected by you as a gentleman and a genius of the world, came to see me specifically to talk about the establishment of the prince. At that time, I only told Li Mi about this idea. His attitude is quite resolute, strongly opposing my re-establishment of the crown prince, and asking me to find a way to weaken your power, preferably not in the national capital. After listening to what he said, I agreed. Later, the same was done. The only regret is that Li Mi refused to stay and help me, and even escaped by pretext of death. Otherwise, this may not be the end now. ”

"Understood...... Xiao Yunhe suddenly realized, nodded and said, "Based on Li Yu's position at that time, he really has no reason to support me. The crown prince is the prince of the country, the foundation of the country, and he cannot talk about abolishing it. At that time, Li Mi was also doing his duty. ”

"Yes," said the old man...... "after a few years, Li Mi has reappeared, but he has become your staff. The world is really impermanent. When I learned that Li Yudu had become your staff, I completely understood-even he recognized you, the master of the Great Qi, which proves that you are truly the right person to manage the Great Qi. Even a character like Li Mi can abandon me...... I had nothing more to say but resignation. I don't blame Li Mi at all. At that time in Mukden, he saw your talent and possible threats right away. He encouraged me to work hard, train the prince well, and don't give you any chance. But I don't have that ability. We can only use some means and methods to suppress and weaken you. This was clearly not his original intention. Now, even he is completely disappointed in me, and it is enough to see that I have really not done well all these years. Daqi has evolved to today, and I have an unshirkable responsibility. Now this mess, I can't clean it up. Crush it against your shoulder. Maybe you have the power to bring it back to life. No matter how incompetent and unbearable I am in your eyes, but...... There is an idea that is the same as yours. That is, I can't watch Daqi fall and sink before my eyes. I don't want to face Emperor Taizong and my ancestors without shame after returning to Jiuquan. ”

Xiao Yunhe showed the most gratifying smile today. said indifferently: "Don't worry." If you can have such an awareness, it is enough to have the face to face Emperor Taizong. He won't punish you much. ”

The old man blinked his eyes a few times in amazement, then sighed softly, and said melancholy and longly: "Li Mo, you have to be a good emperor." Hopefully I'll be in my lifetime. I can see that Daqi is thriving. ”

"Yes. Xiao Yunhe spit out two words briefly, and there was a little more deep meaning in his eyes when he looked at the old man.

When leaving the Daming Palace. Xiao Yunhe's mood was unusually different. In fact, the situation has not changed for him at all. The attitude of the puppet emperor of the old man towards him will not have any impact on the situation. However, seeing the old man have such a psychological change, Xiao Yunhe is still very happy. It's not just that there is a lack of psychological baggage, but it will be easier to get the support of the old man to get things done in the future. After all, he is still the emperor recognized by everyone in the world, and he has come forward in many things. There will be unexpected effects, and it is still very useful. What's even more rare is ...... Now he has made another fortune in this way. Nowadays, money is so important to him. After all, it is inconvenient to take the things there in Zhongnan Mountain frequently and in large quantities. With this money provided by the old man, he can do many things he wants.

This is really just like what Li Mi said - an unexpected harvest!

Meanwhile. Xiao Yunhe has deepened his understanding of Li Yu, a strange person, several more layers. I also admired it a little more. When he was in Mukden, Li Mi's position was also clear. He had to be loyal to the emperor and think about the emperor. At that time, his proposal not to appoint another crown prince was definitely out of sincerity and loyalty. Now, he has stepped forward to work for himself, which is also a wise move to start from the overall situation and base himself on the country. Moreover, this person is extremely smart, has excellent knowledge, is based on the overall situation, and does not follow the subtleties - such a talent is really rare in ancient and modern times!

Now that the old man's attitude has been clear, it will be much easier to clean up Pei Yanling and others. Xiao Yunhe decided: personally interrogate Pei Yanling and Dou Shen!

Before interrogating them personally, Xiao Yunhe took the two to the Xuanwu Hall of Daming Palace to meet the old man. How the old man scolded these two Chu Yan people angrily, Xiao Yunhe didn't know very well. Because at that time, there were only three of them left in the room, and even the prince withdrew from the room. It's just that after Pei Yanling and Dou Shen came out of the room, they were like roosters scalded by boiling water, and they were about to collapse when they were lifeless. It seems that the old man doesn't know how many pots have been detained for them. These two hateful and pitiful scapegoats are about to become the souls of the old man and Xiao Yunhe.

After meeting the old man, Pei Yanling and Dou Shen gave up their resistance and confessed everything. For many years, the two of them took advantage of the position given by the emperor to frantically accept bribes and accumulate money. When Xiao Yunhe mutinied, instead of fleeing in panic, the two thought that it was the best time to steal the treasury. So in the name of the emperor, they opened the treasury by fraud, stole more than 6,000 taels of gold, and hid it. It's just that they didn't expect that this time the emperor was driven out of the national capital, and he was picked up again a few days later. Seeing that it was time to goof, they were still unhurried. Because the emperor's private affairs are still kept by them. They believed that if the emperor didn't want his secret secrets to be exposed, he would find a way to keep the two. In any case, with the emperor parrying, they were able to save their lives. So Pei Yanling was forced to be anxious, and recruited the conspiring prime minister Dou Shen. He believes that the two prime ministers who keep their secrets are involved in the case, and the emperor will definitely stop and will come forward to protect them.

Pei Yanling is indeed smart enough, and the emperor really came forward. But Pei Yanling didn't expect that the crown prince didn't even want to give the emperor's face, and on the contrary, he persuaded the emperor and took the initiative to say something about private affairs.

Up to now, Pei Yanling and Dou Shen are simply villains in vain. They lost their value and significance to the emperor, and in the face of the laws and regulations of the country, they also became heinous sinners.

In the face of conclusive evidence, Pei Yanling and Dou Shen also gave up their quibbles. Under the coercion and temptation of Xiao Yunhe, Lu Zhen, and Li Jingluo, out of the instinct of survival, they confessed to many henchmen. These people are all friends who have been close to the two over the years, and they are traitors who have embezzled and accepted bribes and made friends together. According to the statistical list, there are as many as 167 people! From the five-rank county order to the third-rank high-ranking officials, and even some state princes and Hou Bo, they are all in this category.

At the same time, the emperor's private affairs also fell into Xiao Yunhe's pocket. Liquidating the property, not counting the precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the precious treasures paid tribute by various countries, the real money and silver alone are worth as much as 3 million guan! The confiscation of Pei Yanling and Dou Shen's two huge greedy family fortunes actually adds up to 2 million guan. This is not counting the privately purchased land, houses, and wives, concubines, servants, maids, and rare birds and beasts named flowers and plants that the two of them embezzled.

The huge wealth of five million guan suddenly filled the empty treasury.

Above the court, it looks like it is about to set off a storm. Earth-shattering upheaval is imminent.

The third volume of Jiuding No. 299 black-faced Yan Jun Yushitai has become the most eye-catching place in the imperial city of Great Qi. The crown prince sat on the main platform, and the former high-ranking officials were escorted up like a bazaar to be interrogated. In the entire capital city, it was as if an earthquake had erupted, and the whole city was in an uproar. Even in the middle of the night, there were many people who were bright and talked about this most sensational event in decades all night.

The detention of the two prime ministers for trial is already a big deal. Now, more than 100 officials have been found in one go, and all of them are Beijing officials with real power, which cannot but be amazing.

Xiao Yunhe, with his shocking courage and courage, personally presided over this purge. The officials and wealthy families in the city were all terrified and terrified, and many people jumped over the wall in a hurry and even wanted to besiege the palace en masse, but when they saw the terrifying flying dragon riding iron armor in the palace, even their legs were crisp. Some corrupt officials who want to flee with their families can't get out of the capital at all. Li Huaiguang and Chu Yan surrounded the national capital like an iron bucket, which was really like a dog behind closed doors.

An unprecedented storm is sweeping through the entire court of Great Qi. It is like a pair of giant hands, reshuffling the officialdom of the entire imperial court.

The newly appointed crown prince has almost become the spokesman of King Yama. At this time, many people seem to have forgotten his kindness and generosity. Tyrants, butchers, and executioners are the words that corrupt officials detained the most in private.

Xiao Yunhe enjoyed it very much, and those corrupt officials scolded him like this. He felt that this simplicity was more useful than any singing praises of virtue.

"The prince of the prison country and the cabinet department and the Zhongshu Sect jointly approved the document!" Xiao Yunhe ordered solemnly, "The original Tongzhongshu Sect Ping Zhangshi, the prime ministers Pei Yanling and Dou Shen, took advantage of their positions to lie about the emperor's order and steal the gold from the treasury. The deception of the king and the treason of the criminals make it intolerable to the law of the country. Pei Yanling and Dou Shen are now sentenced to be hanged, and all family assets are confiscated. There are those who are part of the family and their children and grandchildren. Punish according to the law. The rest are all exiled to Lingnan, and they are not allowed to return to Beijing unless they are specially summoned by the court of the Son of Heaven!"

As soon as the prince's words fell, the Yushitai Hall suddenly became as quiet as death. Pei Yanling and Dou Shen were already on the verge of collapse, and at this time, the two of them rolled their eyes together, passed out on the spot and fell to the side. Even Lu Zhen and Li Jingluo, who were standing beside Xiao Yunhe, secretly took a breath of cool air, and secretly said in their hearts: What a ruthless method!

Xiao Yunhe slapped the shocked wood heavily. shouted loudly, "Come on, drag Pei Yanling and Dou Shen down and put them on death row, and behead them after the autumn!"

The two all-powerful prime ministers who used to call for wind and rain above the court of Daqi were dragged down like two pieces of pork, and they never recovered. Some of the officials in the area with whom they were involved in the case. They also suffered one after another. In the capital city, there are already rumors and soldiers. The people were reluctant to do anything else, so they watched out for when another high-ranking official would be dragged into the Imperial History Terrace by the flying dragon horse sent by the prince, and never returned. These officials are corrupt and pervert the law to oppress the people on weekdays. has long provoked the anger of the heavens and people. But the people dared not speak out of their anger, because they could not complain wherever they went. The officials in charge of each other, even the emperor and the prime minister, only care about cheapness or stealing peace. No one wants to offend people, and no one wants to deal with these troublesome things. Now, there is an iron-faced prince of Yanjun, and this large number of officials who are hated by the people have come to the sky and are angry, and they are all cleaned up at once.

In the national capital, everyone was already clapping their hands and celebrating, and there was thunderous cheering. Every corrupt official was taken away. There are bound to be a large number of people watching and applauding, and even set off firecrackers to celebrate. There are also many people who have been oppressed and brutalized by these officials, and they have taken the initiative to report and expose and provide evidence to the local Fumin officials sent by the prince. Investigating and rectifying the corrupt officials in the capital has become the most concerned and enthusiastic thing for the more than 3 million people in the national capital.

Of the more than 100 officials involved in the case, more than 20 were beheaded. More than 30 dismissed officials were never hired and exiled to Lingnan, and more than 30 were dismissed and demoted. Some of the other plots are not too strict. It is only a demotion or a fine, and a strict warning.

Just as Li Sheng and Yi Shen were fighting to the death with Li Xilie in Bianzhou, the battle situation in the national capital was no worse than on the battlefield. Almost half of the local officials in Beijing were planted in Xiao Yunhe's hands. For this new crown prince, who started in the military but has a high reputation among the people, everyone has a deeper understanding of him: it turns out that when dealing with bad people, he is also so ruthless and unforgiving, even more ruthless and domineering than on the battlefield. After this purge was over, Xiao Yunhe himself felt hearty; those officials involved in the case, their families, friends, and doormen were naturally complaining bitterly and full of anger and resentment; and the common people in the national capital were clapping their hands and celebrating with great excitement.

Of the more than 140 officials involved in the case, each of them was only 30 relatives and friends, and there were 35,000 people. In addition, as an official in Beijing, who does not have a family background, the relationship between officials and wealthy nobles is also intertwined and extremely complicated. Xiao Yunhe's move was undoubtedly declaring war on all the wealthy nobles in the national capital. Among them, there are even many people who are very close to the Guo family and the Wu family. Guo, Guo Nuan and Wu Zhongru couldn't get in the way, and they also came to Xiao Yunhe to intercede for a few people. But Xiao Yunhe's attitude was very tough, and he didn't even buy their account. It's just that in terms of verbal attitude, he is more tactful and polite. Guo, Wu and others were helpless, knowing that the prince was ruthless this time, and after trying it once, they didn't dare to make it again. Some other wealthy nobles naturally didn't dare to provoke this black-faced prince like Yan Jun directly. It is through some connections to find people around the prince to help intercede. Li Mian, Wu Yuanheng, Xue Cuncheng, Du Huangshang, Li Jingluo, Lu Zhen, including those scholars in the Chongwen Hall of the East Palace, have all become their doors and relationships. But Xiao Yunhe had already guarded against this move. He solemnly admonished and warned the people around him that no one should intercede or bend the law in this incident. Otherwise, the same crime as the officials involved!

Xiao Yunhe's tough attitude and fierce iron fist were like thunder falling in nine days, smashing the court officialdom in the lobby upside down.

Those who have suffered and suffered dare not speak in anger, and those who have broken their teeth only dare to swallow in their stomachs. However, the resentment in these people's chests is also accumulating deeper and deeper, and gradually has a tendency to erupt. The capital city under the strict control of the army. It seems to be calm, but in fact, the undercurrent is turbulent and full of crises.

Xiao Yunhe didn't know what these people wanted to do. After the trial of the case, he watched the situation in the East Palace every day and did not make too many moves. He knew that those people would not rest and wait for death. For decades, Daqi has spoiled these officials and gentry. They will definitely not get used to the current high-pressure policy, and what will they do.

Resentment and anger continue to condense and brew in the sky above the national capital. Finally broke the silence and erupted.

On this day, Xiao Yunhe came out of the East Palace with a team of guards, preparing to go to the Taiji Palace to preside over the early dynasty. The strange thing is that at this time on weekdays, there should already be many officials walking on the streets of the imperial city to the Taiji Palace. But today, the road is so quiet that no one can see it. Just when Xiao Yunhe was puzzled. The guards of the Suzaku Gate will run quickly, until the prince gets off his horse and kneels down in front of the chariot, and reports loudly: "Report to the prince! More than 5,000 gentry and civilians blocked in front of the Suzaku Gate of the imperial city to make trouble and provoke, and the courtiers and officials who came to take up their posts. They were all gambled outside the imperial city and could not enter the city. ”

"What?!" Xiao Yunhe raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily, "It's against them!"

"Song Liangchen!"

"The end will be!" Song Liangchen Chu Yan was energetic and energetic.

"I order you to light up five thousand flying dragon iron armor and go to the Suzaku Gate to suppress the impeachment. Xiao Yunhe shouted angrily. "Tie up the leaders first, try not to let anyone get away. Those who behave out of line and have a bad attitude will be killed!"

"Yes!" Song Liangchen suddenly became excited. This kind of thing, but he likes to do it the most!

Five thousand iron horsemen rushed out of the East Palace with great momentum. Iron hooves trampled on the stone pavement of the imperial city, making a terrifying sound. The black-robed knight in ink armor, the sword at his waist has not been unsheathed, which also makes people feel a murderous aura.

Xiao Yunhe walked slowly towards the Vermilion Bird Gate without hurrying or hurrying. I thought coldly in my heart: It's just in time. If you don't kill a group of people, it's not enough to shock this unhealthy trend in the national capital. After so many years, you have been completely indifferent to the absolute authority of the imperial power and the imperial court. Very well, let you know now what is not to be blasphemed. What is not to be challenged to!

In front of Suzaku Gate, there was already chaos. The soldiers defending the city were frightened and did not dare to open the door. Officials who came to work in the Imperial City to report on their work. The horses and chariots were blocked from the crowd, or even surrounded. More than 5,000 mobs erupted in a surging crowd, cursing and beating the officials who were surrounded by the crowd. In front of them, a group of officials, gentry, wealthy families, and celebrities who had a face in the national capital city sat in front of the Suzaku Gate in protest and demonstration.

Before the imperial city of the national capital, such a scene was really unheard of. Gradually, the mob gathered more and more. At first, there were some people who were afraid that something would happen, but seeing that it was okay to make trouble like this now, they gradually became bold and gathered around to make trouble together. The court uniforms and official robes of many officials who did not have time to avoid were torn, and the wolf bèi was unbearable.

There were more than 200 wealthy gentry in the sit-in demonstration, and the mob was close to 10,000. These people are all relatives, friends, and protégés of the officials involved in the case, as well as domestic slaves, servants, and hired thugs at home.

The Suzaku Gate was still closed, and the crowd in front of the gate was getting more and more fierce, and the onlookers were almost crowding the Suzaku Avenue. They are all waiting to see how the prince should deal with the crisis in front of him -- if the law does not hold the people accountable, can he still arrest all these people and throw them into prison? That's 10,000 people!

Xiao Yunhe cut his hands behind his back, stepped on the stone stairs, and walked to the head of the Vermilion Bird Gate without hurrying. The soldiers who were sweating profusely in a hurry at the head of the city, when they saw the prince coming, they suddenly felt like they had grabbed a life-saving straw, and they were all overjoyed.

Xiao Yunhe's face was covered with frost, and he slowly walked to the front of the city and looked down.

"Look, Prince!" exclaimed, I don't know who exclaimed. Suddenly, everyone in front of the city gate looked up. A wave of cries also sounded, "Release the officials, and let them go lightly!"

The huge roar almost formed a wave of air visible to the naked eye, blowing the flag at the head of the city and tumbling.

Xiao Yunhe looked at it coldly, not moving at all. After these people shouted for a while, Xiao Yunhe waved his hand and pointed downward, and shouted angrily: "Are you waiting for the opposite?!"

"Opposite--what-?!" Xiao Yunhe's angry rebuke was full of qi and rolled over, like a thunderclap above everyone's heads, rolling away layer by layer. The more than 200 gentry sitting at the front heard it most clearly, and couldn't help but shudder with a fierce spirit on Chu Yan's body.

"If a stick of incense does not disperse within a period of time, it will be punished as treason!" Xiao Yunhe shouted angrily, "The national law is majestic, and the criminal law is forested, and no one is allowed to trample on or challenge." Wait for your own discretion, don't make a mistake and become a thousand hatreds!"

After saying these two sentences, Xiao Yunhe raised his feet and left, ignoring these people again.

In front of the Suzaku Gate, more than 10,000 people were suddenly silent. But after a while, the leading gentry seemed to come back to their senses, and took the lead in shouting for the release of the officials, and they were sent lightly. Those brainless mobs naturally followed suit.

Inside the Vermilion Bird Gate, Song Liangchen, who was only one door away from these people, was holding a stick of incense in his hand, and his teeth were already biting his bones. He rolled his eyes and blew at the incense: "Damn, hurry up and burn, hurry up and burn!

At the same time, the three places of Mingde Gate, Jinguang Gate, and Chunming Gate in the national capital city each have a road of soldiers and horses galloping in. Li Huaiguang, Chu Yan, and Gao Gu each led two thousand iron horsemen to pounce, murderous.

Xiao Yunhe no longer cared about what would happen outside the Vermilion Bird City, and got into the car and walked towards the imperial city, thinking to himself in his heart: Without a little blood, it is impossible to wash away the filth of the city under this bright and clear world! The only result of challenging the imperial power and trampling on the law is death!

The gentry who were sitting in front of the Suzaku Gate to demonstrate and shout saw the prince throw down two sentences and leave, and they became more and more unscrupulous. They have long thought very clearly, since ancient times, the law does not rule the people. Now there are nearly 10,000 people gathered here, and the crown prince has just come to power and lacks grace, so is it possible that he still dares to act rudely? There are so many wealthy families in the capital, and the relationship is intertwined. Some wealthy families have deep roots and almost affect the lifeblood of the entire country, and usually even the emperor has to give them some face. A new ascendant, or a prince who entered Beijing from other places, what can I do?

As a result, the clamor in front of Suzaku Gate rose higher and higher. The surging crowd seemed to want to storm the Suzaku Gate. Many officials who were rushing to work in the imperial city were either besieged and beaten by thugs hired by those wealthy families, or they were so frightened that they didn't dare to approach the Suzaku Gate at all. The soldiers defending the city at the head of the city were also helpless, so they could only stand there quietly, like puppets.

Just when these people were having a good time, there were suddenly bursts of exclamations on the wide Suzaku Avenue. The onlookers dodged in panic. Those people sitting on the ground felt that the stone slabs on the ground were slightly shaking, very weirdly shaking. Then, some of the people standing at the back suddenly shouted: "There are soldiers and horses!"

"It's the army of Great Qi!"

This can frighten these mobs. Although they have nothing to fear, they think that it will be fine. But after all, they are thieves with weak hearts, and people like them have an instinctive fear of the army and government servants in their hearts. Seeing the rolling iron horses, many people panicked and wanted to flee. Some of the gentry sitting at the front were also surprised for a while, and quickly discussed a few words, thinking that this was just to scare people or maintain law and order, so there was no need to worry. So they ordered their own people not to be troubled, much less to flee.

Li Huaiguang, Chu Yan, and Gao Gu led six thousand iron horses. More than 10,000 people were surrounded in a circle, which can be regarded as surrounding. The mob calmed down somewhat, but they neither flinched nor dodged, and stood in the circle to confront the cavalry.

The three generals met together, and they all wondered: "I heard that the imperial city called the police, so we specially rushed to escort the car." I didn't expect ...... But it was a popular uprising. How's that okay?"

Chu Yan and Gao Gu are both safe people, so they discussed it. A conclusion was drawn: to impeach, to pacify, not to break out into armed conflict. After all, these people are all the people of Daqi, and many of them are famous people in the capital. Whoever is injured is not easy for the court to deal with.

Li Huaiguang said angrily: "It's right that it's the people of Daqi, it also depends on whether it's a mob or a good citizen." You look at these people. Dare to besiege the officials of Daqi and coerce the imperial city. Isn't this the other way around? According to my intentions, I rushed over and cut off a few of his dog's heads, and I didn't dare to make trouble. ”

Gao Gu usually didn't talk much, and then hurriedly said: "Li Dashuai." Don't be impulsive! The crown prince has just entered the East Palace, and not long ago he made a big deal in the court. This matter is very sensitive at the moment, so let's not cause trouble for the Crown Prince. ”

Chu Yan agreed: "Yes." As. Let's wait for the prince's military order before making a decision?"

Li Huaiguang thought about it, too, so he said: "It's up to you." Reading novels all the way, I can't allow these people to be too presumptuous, otherwise how can the prestige of the country and the army exist? Whoever dares to collide with the sergeant, I can't spare him. Let our sergeants be on strict alert, and not one of them will be allowed to escape, and see how the prince will fall behind. How to say. They also broke the law. ”

"That's it. Gao Gu and Chu Yan agreed.

Six thousand iron horsemen formed a large circle, surrounding more than 10,000 people in the core. The breath and sound of the horses can be heard clearly in the ears. Originally, the people who were watching the capital of the country here were already frightened and scattered. On the large Suzaku Avenue, except for the armor soldiers and these mobs. There was almost no one else.

Although these mobs are fierce, they have never seen such a battle. A sergeant with a halberd in a loaded gun. Loudly snorting and raising the big horses, it was enough to make them lose a little confidence and feel frightened. However, those leading gentry are used to running rampant in the national capital, where will they put a few armor soldiers in this area. Even if the leader of the land is interrogated, they may not take him seriously. So, they continued to sit unscrupulously in front of the Suzaku Gate, leading these mobs to shout slogans.

Li Huaiguang huffed and hated: "It's reversed, it's reversed! It's really fucking reversed! In the national capital, where have you seen such a mob!"

Gao Gu and Chu Yan hurriedly comforted him and told him not to be impatient.

At this moment, the red lacquer Vermilion Bird Gate, several feet high, slowly opened in a heavy rattling sound. Everyone let out a soft exclamation that merged into a loud sound. More than 30,000 lines of sight shot at the Suzaku Gate, which was slowly opening.

"The prince has finally compromised and is going to come out to see us?" The first thought of the gentry was this.

However, it turned out to disappoint him.

The first to walk out of the Suzaku Gate was a giant man like King Kong. He Chu Yan was wearing a black bright light battle armor, a black robe, and a special giant helmet, revealing a pair of huge eyes like copper bells. The big black horse is also unusually tall and majestic, like a magical beast. A man and a rider slowly walked out of the Suzaku Gate, and the gentry sitting in front of the city gate were completely frightened by the momentum of this giant man, and involuntarily got up and shrank back.

Song Liangchen looked at the few people in the row in front of him with an angry face, and shouted in a rough voice: "It's you a few birds, you want to embarrass our prince?!"

Song Liangchen's voice was like a huge thunder, scaring these people together. With his fierce face and figure, it has already made these fierce and inward-looking gentlemen feel a chill rising from their guts.

No one dared to talk.

Song Liangchen, who has always been impatient and rude, is not in a hurry this time. He raised one hand, showed the burnt incense stick in his hand to the people in the front row, and then said, "The prince said it before. If a stick of incense is not withdrawn, it will be punished as a national crime. Now, the incense has just finished burning. With that, he threw the sticks in front of the row of people.

A small stick was thrown in front of him, but the gentry retreated in panic as if dodging arrows, huddled together. A few of the most face-saving and oldest-qualified gentlemen barely plucked up the courage to step forward and shouted to Song Liangchen: "Then do you dare to kill us all? Either it is a high-ranking official and a famous lord given by the emperor, or the ancestor is a noble and meritorious hero of Daqi, or a protégé of the Son of Heaven who has a meritorious reputation, and no matter how bad it is, it is also the protégé of a certain high-ranking official and nobleman. If you dare to touch us...... The entire capital city will be turned upside down!"

Song Liangchen's two yellow eyebrows suddenly fell upside down, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and he flew forward with lightning speed. A giant hand that seemed to be stupid and stubborn, but was actually extremely dexterous, quickly pulled out the long knife at his waist. Volley out with a bang!

The domineering cold light suddenly flashed. Almost at the same time as the knife was swung, a good head flew diagonally to the side, like a football being kicked away.

"Ahh It's not just the gentry closest to the man who was killed. The mobs behind them, and even the cavalry around the perimeter, let out exclamations of surprise almost at the same time. The scene became extremely chaotic at this moment. All the gentry were immediately frightened, either sitting on the ground with weak legs, or jumping into the crowd in a panic, and some of them were old and frail and timid. was so frightened that he passed out on the spot.
