Sending Bi Luojing to the Heavenly Prison was the first step in Shaoling's strategy, and Shaoling and his comrades in Thousand Winds City had already planned all of this.

In fact, Bi Luojing's status in Yao Fuji's heart is higher than that of Shaoling. Despite his suspicious nature, he never doubted Bi Luojing's loyalty to him. However, he imprisoned Bi Luojing in the prison just to give Shaoling an explanation.

Yao Fuji believes that Shaoling has always reported to him the situation in Thousand Winds City through letters, and the biggest reason why the Beiyu Empire was able to occupy Thousand Winds City without spending a single soldier this time was because of Shaoling's internal response. Therefore, he imprisoned Bi Luojing as a warning and deterrent.

Despite this, Yao Fuji still has a certain trust and expectation for Bi Luojing. He hoped that Bi Luojing would realize his mistake and return to his side. At the same time, he also hopes that Shaoling can understand his responsibilities and missions, and work hard for the interests of the Beiyu Empire.

Two days later, Yao Fuji decided to reward the meritorious ministers of the Beiyu Empire in the Qiankun Palace, and because Bi Luojing was arrested and imprisoned, the task of protecting the safety of the palace was handed over to the city lord of Thousand Winds City, Zicai, who had already trained a group of elite guards to make the Qiankun Palace inside and out. They also used safety reasons to prevent those cronies and guards brought by Yao Fuji from Pinghe City from entering the Qiankun Palace.

In the Qiankun Palace, Yao Fuji ordered the chief steward to read out the list of rewards aloud. Suddenly, a black-clad assassin burst out of the shadows, stabbing at Fudge with a sword in hand. Frightened, he reacted, quickly dodging the attack, and ordered the guards around him to besiege him.

The city lord shouted: "Catch the assassin!" The guards in the Qiankun Hall all acted in an instant.

Shao Ling shouted, "Everyone, hurry up and take shelter outside the hall. "I saw that under the leadership of Shaoling, no official or military general ran outside the Qiankun Palace.

But the remaining Yao Fuji in the temple was not protected by the guards, who instead arrested Yao Fuji. At this point, the black-clothed assassin took off his face scarf, threw it aside, took out a short knife and walked up to him, pressing it against his neck. Shao Ling appeased those officials and returned to the Qiankun Hall again. The black-clothed assassin asked Shaoling, "Master, are you going to kill him?" ”

Yao Fuji understood everything, he knew that it was Shao Ling who wanted to kill him, so he said to Shao Ling: "My son, why do you want to kill your father? ”

Shao Ling sneered: "Father-in-law, I forgive the child for not being able to serve you anymore. ”

Yao Fuji said: "Why exactly? ”

Shao Ling said: "Because the child can see the situation clearly, the Beiyu Empire will not be strong, because you are too suspicious, I know that you don't believe anyone, sometimes you are so stupid, it was you who personally imprisoned Bi Luojing in the prison, and you also asked the city lord of Zicai to replace the guards you brought, how could I Shaoling serve such a stupid monarch?" ”

Listening to Shaoling's abuse, Yao Fuji was so angry that he almost protruded blood, but he still said: "You are the champion of the imperial examination, but Xuanyu only asked you to follow a deputy general to Pinghe City as an entourage; But I accepted you as a righteous son, gave you everything, and made you an important official of the Beiyu Empire, I am so good to you, you actually want to murder me, has your conscience been eaten by dogs? ”

Shaoling sneered: "Hahaha, father-in-law, there is no way." Xuanyu is dead, I must show loyalty to the new emperor, I can only kill you, I can get more things. ”

Yao Fuji said: "Child, can you leave your father's life, as your father will pass on the throne of the Beiyu Empire to you." ”

Shao Ling smiled: "Father-in-law, you are really good at joking. Throne? How long do you think you can do it, and with your soldiers and horses, can you really beat the soldiers of the Eastern Empire? You are already old, and your body is not as good as before, don't keep dreaming of your emperor. Besides, if I really spare you, will you really put me in your place? Even if you really want to, I don't think your own son will be willing, right? ”

Yao Fuji listened to Shaoling's words, and his heart was desolate. He knew that he had lost the heart of this righteous son, and he also understood his political mistakes. He sighed deeply and said, "Well, since you are so ruthless, I am powerless to resist. ”

As he spoke, he closed his eyes and waited for death to come. The black-clad assassin slashed his short knife through his neck, and blood flowed instantly. Shao Ling walked outside the hall with Xiao Fuji's head and shouted: "The leader of the rebel army, Yao Fuji, is dead, and you will be surrendered as soon as possible." ”

Seeing this, all the officials knelt down and surrendered, and cheers suddenly rang out inside and outside the Qiankun Palace.

Shao Ling threw Xiao Fuji's head aside, looking at everything in front of him, his heart was full of pride and pleasure. He knew that he had finally become the savior of the dynasty, and that his name would be written into the history of the Eastern Empire.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Shaoling, you traitor!" ”

The officials outside the hall looked at the source of the sound, and saw a young general in black armor rushing towards him, holding a spear in his hand. He is none other than Ah Dog, the leader of the guards who is one of Yao Fuji's cronies.

Seeing this, Shaoling's heart tightened, knowing that he had fallen into danger. He immediately ordered his men to surround the dog, but the dog was not afraid, he brandished his spear and rushed towards Shaoling.

Zi Cai caused those elite guards to engage in a fierce battle with Ah Dog, and several generals who rebuked Shao Ling for launching also joined the battle group. After a fierce battle, the elite guards finally captured all the rebels, and Shaoling ordered them all to be imprisoned in the prison.

Shaoling then summoned the generals guarding the city gates and the palace, and informed them that the rebel leader, Yu Fuji, was dead, and that all the generals would surrender to the Eastern Empire, and that those who resisted would be immediately executed.

Shaoling's order shocked all the generals, who could not believe that the lord to whom they had served was Fudge, had died. However, in the face of Shaoling's ruthless eyes, they could only helplessly obey Shaoling's orders.

Over the next few days, Shaoling began a thorough inspection of the gates and palace to ensure that no rebels existed. He sent elite guards to interrogate each of his generals, demanding that they surrender to the Eastern Empire or be summarily killed.

Although some generals expressed dissatisfaction and opposition to this, they finally gave in under Shaoling's high-pressure policy.

At this time, Shaoling received an edict from Heavenly Snow City, which was issued by Prime Minister Liang Yu on behalf of the new emperor. The edict said that the new emperor of the Eastern Empire, Xuan Cheng, would hold an enthronement ceremony in Lingchuan City and officially become the new emperor of the Eastern Empire.

After getting the news, Shaoling was complacent about the accuracy of his predictions on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wrote a statement in his own handwriting, which read: "Your Majesty, the rebels such as Shaoling and Xiao Fuji caused trouble in the government and intended to overthrow the power of the previous dynasty. In order to protect the stability of His Majesty and the court, please lead the guards to the palace of Thousand Winds City as soon as possible to recapture the jade seal of the country and stabilize the imperial power. "Shaoling sent a palace forbidden army to Lingchuan City and handed over the text to the new emperor Xuancheng in person.

Next, Shaoling waited in Thousand Winds City for several days, and finally waited for the arrival of Prime Minister Liang Yu. Prime Minister Liang Yu said that the emperor would stay in Xinfeng City for a day, and he would come to Thousand Winds City tomorrow, and Liang Yu arrived in Thousand Winds City first The purpose of the emperor's office and living supplies was to prepare for the new emperor to enter the palace. Under Shaoling's arrangement, most of the things in the palace were moved into the palace, and not only that, but also placed a lot of new palace furniture and supplies for the various halls of the palace.

The next day, Xuan Cheng arrived at Thousand Winds City with all the officials and soldiers, and Liang Yu and Shaoling and the officials greeted him outside the city gate. The next thing is described above, but it is omitted here.

It was only said that Shaoling learned that Taihao was going to the prison to interrogate Bi Luojing, and he felt that something was wrong, and he was worried that Bi Luojing would tell Taihao something unfavorable to him. He found Zi Vessel and tried to let Zi Vessel interfere with Tai Hao's interrogation process of Bi Luojing.

When Taihao was arraigned in the prison, Zicai came to the prison on the grounds that "there is something to interrogate Biluojing" and let Taihao leave.

Shaoling was still not at ease, he didn't know if Bi Luojing had said anything to Taihao that he shouldn't have said. Therefore, before setting off for Heavenly Snow City, he once again told Zi Bowl to find a way to get rid of Tai Hao. Zi Cai didn't think that Tai Hao was a threat to him, but when he received the emperor's order to hand over the handling of Bi Luojing's family to Tai Hao, he was also worried, he thought that Tai Hao must have obtained some evidence, so he would take over the case of the rebel family. Zi Cai discussed a countermeasure with Shaoling's other cronies and officials, and used the official sedan chair to pick up Tai Hao to the city lord's mansion for a banquet, so that Tai Hao committed a rule of Thousand Winds City, and used this as a fuse to push Tai Hao into the abyss step by step.

That night, when Taihao returned to Chengwang's mansion, he saw Jing Ye waiting for him outside the door, Jing Ye knew the rule of "prohibiting officials from taking a sedan chair", he saw Taihao come out of the official sedan chair, he was instantly frightened and panicked, he stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Taihao, is this official sedan chair yours?" ”

Tai Hao explained: "This is the city lord's, and the official is just sitting. ”

As he spoke, he walked into King Cheng's Mansion, and Jing Ye followed him and said, "Lord Taihao, you may not know that in Thousand Winds City, officials are forbidden to ride in sedan chairs, and if there is a offender, they will be put in prison." ”

"Oh? And what are the rules? Taihao asked.

Jing Ye said: "Several ministers have been arrested before because of this matter, even if they told the emperor that they didn't know about this provision, they were still arrested and put in prison, and they haven't been released yet." ”

Tai Hao thought for a while, and said: "The official knows, but I think that the city lord of Zicai has no reason to frame the official, maybe this rule no longer applies." ”

Taihao didn't take this matter to heart, but went directly to Yingyu's room, at this time Yingyu had already fallen asleep, he still knocked on Yingyu's door and said to her: "Yingyu, I have something for you to do tomorrow." ”

Ying Yu said: "Senior brother, why did you come back so late, you are going to lead the troops tomorrow, I am still worried about what happened to you." ”

Tai Hao smiled: "It's okay, I just drank some wine with the city lord of Zicai and chatted." Yingyu, I have an important thing for you to do tomorrow. ”

Yingyu asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Tai Hao said: "Tomorrow I want to leave Thousand Winds City, I promised to protect the safety of Bi Luojing's family, I can't do it personally, this matter can only be handed over to you, you go to the house where Bi Luojing lived before tomorrow, rescue his family, and bring it to the palace of the king, how about it?" ”
