There is no such thing as an impermeable wall.

After Zhao Mian got the secret letter from the Lianhua Sect, he knew that this matter could not be concealed, and it would be leaked sooner or later.

Quite simply, even as an emperor, you need people to do things, and you need to consult with people.

And people's hearts are the most unreliable.

But what he didn't expect was that the news leaked so quickly that he didn't even have time to respond.

Moreover, there are also those sects hidden in the shadows, saying that they can't do anything about it, and fools don't believe it.

The news of the fog disaster is not so much a prophecy as a curse, a death knell.

The death knell of the 300-year reign of the Great Liang Dynasty!

Although Zhao Mian is old and stubborn, he also sees the crisis and knows that there is no room for change.

As Zhang Biao expected, Zhao Mian's goal has changed from stabilizing the entire dynasty to sitting on one place, accumulating strength, and preparing for the future to be revisited.

Build the Imperial Palace, summon strange people, seek inheritance, and dig out the underground secrets of Yujing City......

It's all about planning for the future.

What everyone didn't know was that Zhao Mian had privately sent his henchmen to the frontier to summon the border army back to Beijing.

His idea is very simple, as long as he has a large army in his hands and sticks to the fertile Xiongguan Pass in the Yujing City, he can attack and retreat.

If there is not enough food, it is enough to grab it.

As for whether the foreign tribes will knock on the border and whether the local defense will be chaotic after the border army is withdrawn, it is no longer within his consideration.

Last night, the fast horse sent a message, and the border army had already left.

The next step is to transfer the elite of the state army.

At this time, it is impossible to hide that the vassal kings and ambitious people in various places, and even those sects, will make some moves.

The chaos in the capital these days, although Zhao Mian is in the palace, he sees it all.

He suppressed his murderous intent and pretended to be confused, until the news of the return of the border army came back, and there was a complete showdown.

That's right, it's a showdown!

The winter solstice sacrifice is just an excuse.

The officials in the court naturally knew it.

Some people panicked, some people were relieved, and some people had weak legs, and the sweat behind them wet the court clothes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, why don't you speak?"

"Didn't you speak before?"

"If there is no objection, the matter is settled!"

Zhao Mian smiled faintly, his pale eyebrows slowly condensed, and said in a cold voice: "Also, there is a food shortage in the city, but someone is hoarding grain on a large scale, shaking the foundation of my beam, I, I am not blind!" ”

"Pei Zhongshu, I'm very disappointed..."

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, spare your life!"

Pei Yuanxian, a member of the Zhongshu House, was already pale, and hurriedly came out of the ranks, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

He controls the power all the year round, and Emperor Zhao Mian rarely asks, thinking that he is not leaking, and thinking that the huge squire force behind him will be a talisman.

didn't expect that the emperor would have a direct showdown.

Many people only remembered at this time that the old and mediocre emperor on the dragon throne, when he was young, dared to lead troops into the palace and forced the emperor to abdicate.

Whoa......

A group of soldiers entered the main hall, each with gold armor and silver spears, murderous.

Luan Moyan spread out the holy decree and read it aloud:

"Hubu Shangshu Yin Jiuling!"

"Zhou Huai, the servant of the ministry!"

"Dali Temple is being completed!"

"Jingzhao Mansion Yin Zuo Mingqiu!"

“………”

One by one, everyone was terrified when they heard it.

Prime Minister Liu Ji also panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, you can't do this..."

Zhao Mian said coldly: "I didn't say that I wanted to kill them, I stripped them all of their official positions and put them in prison!" ”

Many people calmed down, only to find that almost all of the officials who were arrested were deeply entangled with the local government.

This is a purge of the dynasty.

It's not a big sin to hoard food without permission, and which one is clean under the ass in the tide?

One is to force the local government to express its position.

Second, these people are in a high position, and before the catastrophe comes, if they are allowed to make trouble, then the last bit of luck will be lost.

In the blink of an eye, most of the court was empty.

Zhao Mian said calmly: "It's good to be empty, be quiet when it's empty, and continue to announce the decree." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Luan Moyan took the holy decree and said: "General Lu Wuji, the rebellion of the three kings has meritorious, give Zhu Yu Coral, yellow robe and jade belt, and lead the post of Great Sima!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a tall old man with white eyes and white beard slowly entered the hall, glanced at everyone indifferently, bent down and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen ...... for twenty years."

Zhao Mian also sighed: "Wuji, I am disappointed by you. ”

The old man trembled, gritted his teeth and said: "The old minister was just a slave back then, and his descendants have enjoyed all the glory, and he is willing to continue to lead the horse for His Majesty!" ”

The rest of the officials trembled in their hearts.

This veteran general Lu Wuji, who followed the rebellion of the three kings of Emperor Ping, was the first northern frontier to burn down the royal court of the Golden Horde, which can be described as an outstanding meritorious service.

But according to the practice of Daliang, although there were many rewards after returning to the capital, he was still under house arrest in disguise, and he did not go to court for 20 years.

The great Sima is the third duke, and the previous dynasty has been abandoned.

Now that the emperor has restarted,

It's to put the generals in power!

As they expected, many veterans then went to the court to hold important positions, and some young talents were temporarily promoted.

Qiu Chenyi was awarded the title of Dali Temple, and Chu Shiyuan also successfully took over the position of the leader of Jin Wuwei...

…………

News soon spread from the palace.

Beicheng is completely messed up.

Groups of wolf-like soldiers rushed into the various markets, and according to the list, they raided their homes one by one and arrested people.

Many century-old giants disappeared in an instant.

Men and women, young and old, were chained and paraded through the streets, followed by truckloads of gold, silver and jewelry, and at the same time truckloads of grain were transported to Changping.

"Good!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"We're saved!"

The people along the street applauded wildly, picked up rocks and rotten eggs, and kept throwing them at the families of these prisoners.

"Auntie, I'm afraid!"

A three-year-old child, also bound in chains, was terrified and tugged at the woman's clothes.

Syllable!

The stone flew and smashed his head to the ground, causing him to bleed and fall to the ground without breath.

The woman took the child's body and wept.

"Hurry up!"

The surrounding soldiers continued to drag along with the chains.

Among the people, some people couldn't bear to turn their heads, but many more were full of excitement and shouted loudly Long live Your Majesty.

Yujing City has been prosperous for three hundred years, accumulating too many rentier strata, and also accumulating boundless resentment.

Watching these usually high-ranking magnates fall into trouble, for many people, it is more refreshing than drinking a sip of cold water on a hot day.

In the crowd, Zhang Biao and Yu Ziqing also stopped to watch.

Yu Ziqing shook his head and said: "Your Majesty finally showed his fangs, this move will fill the treasury and gather the hearts of the people, high!" ”

"It's a pity, why don't you see him in charge of things on weekdays..."

Zhang Biao was silent and shook his head slightly.

After the convoy passed, he spoke: "Let's go, it seems that Yujing City can be stable for a while." ”

After that, the two walked through the bustling crowd and came to Jixian Fang.

I saw that next to the Tiandi Zhai that Yu Ziqing was taking care of, a small shop was opened, called Wuxinzhai.

This is a pawnshop, and the news has also been released, only strange things of unknown origin are accepted.

After getting the Mo Wen Ancient Knife from the Chen family, Zhang Biao knew that although the aura had not been revived for a long time, some things that were old and had special experiences had begun to absorb the aura and had a grade.

This small shop is opened for this purpose.

Taking the meaning of unintentional willow insertion is purely lucky.

Zhang Biao was not free on weekdays, so he asked Yu Ziqing to be the manager, and asked him if there was something he couldn't understand.

He helped people exorcise evil spirits, and the money he earned was used to run the shop.

"The so-called strange treasures must have visions."

"One is the feeling, if it is cold and biting, or if the iron in the room is condensed, don't touch it..."

"Second, you can use your eyes, put it in the sun, and observe it with the afterglow of your eyes to see if there is any ......"

"The third is the temptation of the item, you can sprinkle these incense ashes, and this bead, be sure to carry it with you, and don't show it to others easily......"

That is, to let the other party have the palm of his hand, it is inevitable to teach some basic knowledge.

Yu Ziqing also studied very seriously.

Since Zhang Biao took away the jade cat last time, coupled with the later list issued by the imperial court, Yu Ziqing vaguely guessed that Zhang Biao's identity was not simple.

But he was very knowledgeable and didn't ask much.

The small shop that manages Tiandimen is at most a shopkeeper, but this opportunity may be the hope of revenge in the future......

…………

In the chaos of the court, some people are happy and some are worried.

"General Chu, congratulations!"

In the Qinglou Pavilion in Taipingfang, Li Jia smiled and picked up the wine glass in his hand.

"It's just a fluke..."

Chu Shiyuan was in a happy mood and drank it in one gulp,

Winning the position of Jin Wuwei is secondary, and more importantly, the military generals regain control of power.

He is young and strong, and there is hope for him to be among the three princes.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt worried in his heart, "The emperor struck a thunderous blow in the court and completely regained power, Li Gongzi, what are you going to do?" ”

"Don't worry."

Li Jia said with a smile: "We are loyal to the emperor, if we endanger the imperial court, General Chu is afraid that he will be the first to make a move, and put aside the relationship." ”

Chu Shiyuan was immediately angry: "Chu, how can you be that kind of ungrateful person?" ”

Li Jia smiled, didn't pierce it, turned his head to look at where Xishi was, and said helplessly: "There is something, I want General Chu to help..."
