The capital, the Xuanzheng Palace.

As the saying goes, this is afraid of comparison.

Looking at the loss of the land of Sanfu, the Son of Heaven had a headache. So if you look at it together with the loss of the capital, then the Son of Heaven will find that the loss of the land of Sanfu is nothing.

That's right, although the rebellion in the capital that night, from the beginning to the end, there may not be a few pillars of incense. But the impact and loss caused are not at all comparable to the turmoil in the land of Sanfu!

Needless to say, the Manichaean people broke into the palace, which has never happened since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, it's not that no one has infiltrated the Imperial City before. After all, no matter how strict the security of this imperial city is, there are loopholes, and it is impossible to ensure that any gentleman who is good at light kung fu will go around the imperial city.

It's just that no one or a single force has ever led people out of the palace directly after being discovered, and under the eyes of almost half of the capital, they have been beaten to the city gate, and then fled!

This series of lines has almost been regarded as putting the word incompetence directly on the face of the Great Zhou court.

Even if it made the Son of Heaven lose face, it also made a very bad start.

If the Manichaean act of breaking into the palace only labeled the court as incompetent, then the behavior of Bai Li was equally far-reaching.

It's just that compared to Manichaeism, which caused more spiritual damage to the imperial court, Bai Li was a more practical person.

That night, it looked like many places were under attack.

But in fact, there is only one target for Bai Li's attack, and the other places are all adding, which looks very lively, but in fact, it is just thunder and rain.

And that target was the Ordnance Supervisor.

As a place dedicated to the development and production of some key parts of various weapons, the importance of the ordnance supervisor to the imperial army is self-evident.

Destroying this place is basically equivalent to cutting off the achievements of the imperial court in the research and development and manufacturing of weapons for several years, that is, it is not a matter of one or two years to be able to find suitable talents again and want to pick it all up again.

The Son of Heaven obviously understands this, which is why he is in such a bad mood.

And just when the Son of Heaven thought that this should be the worst news he could hear in the near future. The return of Wu Duxiong and others told him that there is no worst, only worse.

lost more than three-quarters of the manpower, so that the Son of Heaven, who was already on the verge of breaking out and worried that the manpower in his hands was really not enough, was furious on the spot.

The cup with the hot tea smashed directly on the head of Wu Duxiong, who was appointed by him before and was in charge of this operation!

"Waste! I went to more than twenty of them, and I came back with five!Wu Duxiong, is this how you repay my trust in you!" The Son of Heaven said angrily.

"The minister is guilty," Wu Duxiong didn't care about wiping the tea on his head, and hurriedly asked for guilt.

"You are guilty, you are guilty!" The Son of Heaven continued to roar: "I said before, the people who saw the Lou family were your people, but what happened? The Lou family had already died! And now, I have lost so many ministers of the humerus! Wu Duxiong, you say it yourself, what should I do with you!"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, and please ask Your Majesty to give the minister a chance, and the minister is willing to make meritorious service with the guilt. ”

With the examples of Shen Qianqiu and Qiu Ju in the past, how dare Wu Duxiong use the crime of the minister and the death of the minister to deal with the Son of Heaven. After all, Shen Qianqiu and Qiu Ju were sure that after entering the prison, they would be able to be fished out again, but he didn't.

Put yourself in Lu Jiuzhong's position, if he was in Lu Jiuzhong's position, he would never let go of the great opportunity for his former opponent to be imprisoned in the prison.

As for whether or not we can make meritorious contributions?

The chamberlain could see that the imperial court was at the time of employing people, and it was naturally impossible for Wu Duxiong not to see it. When the time comes, when the Son of Heaven has passed, it will be easy to say.

What's more, Wu Duxiong himself is also a capable person, as long as he is given time, the credit is not easy to capture.

Not to mention anything else, didn't Jiang Haitian already contact the people of the Manichaean Sect before? To assassinate a high-ranking and powerful celestial-level master like Lu Jiuzhong, the Manichaean Sect must not have used ordinary people.

There is even a high probability that it may be the real high-level of Manichaeism, after all, Manichaean people are not stupid, it is impossible not to guess, and the one who can grasp the whereabouts of characters like Lu Jiuzhong must be the high-level of Gong Weisi.

There is a chance to be able to catch a line of characters of this level, put yourself in his shoes, it is him, and he will not tolerate this line that has been hooked up with great difficulty slipping out of his palm.

And now because of the affairs of the land of Sanfu and the capital, what the Son of Heaven hates most is Manichaeism and Tianmen Dihu. Therefore. As long as his side grasps the opportunity, after the Manichaeans kill Lu Jiuzhong, take down the other party.

When the time comes, won't the credit come naturally?

Not to mention this time, I don't know that Jiang Haitian has fallen into Lu Jiuzhong's hands, and Wu Duxiong, who is preparing to kill several birds with one stone, has a thousand turns in his heart. On the other hand, seeing that Wu Duxiong's attitude is quite sincere, and after repeated turmoil, there is indeed a shortage of manpower in the hands of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, his attitude began to soften a little unconsciously, and he said in a deep voice: "Meritorious service with guilt, Wu Duxiong, do you think I can trust you anymore?"

"Yes, I hope Your Majesty will give the guilty minister a chance!" Wu Duxiong said decisively.

“...... Okay! At the time of the imperial court's employment, I can give you a chance," the Son of Heaven looked at Wudu for a long time, until the cold sweat on his back soaked his clothes, and then he said coldly: "But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable!

"Thank you, Your Majesty Longen," although he was downgraded by three levels in a row, his life was finally saved, so Wu Duxiong hurriedly thanked him, and at the same time said: "The minister will definitely do his best to share his worries for Your Majesty." ”

"How are you going to worry about me?" said the Son of Heaven, raising his eyebrows.

"Back to Your Majesty," Wu Duxiong said confidently: "The minister actually has a clue about Manichaeism in his hands, as long as His Majesty gives the minister time, within a month, the minister will definitely give His Majesty a satisfactory explanation!"

"Oh, Manichaeism, are you sure?"

Indeed, as Wu Duxiong expected, the Son of Heaven is now a person who hates Manichaeism and the people of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, long before Wu Duxiong and the others returned, he had already arranged for Wen Yang, the general of the Zuolong Wuwei among the Twelve Guards, to start a campaign to eradicate Manichaeism.

But to be honest, although the order was given by the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven himself was not very optimistic about this operation.

After all. The Manichaeans are not stupid either, having committed such a big thing, the Manichaeans will definitely lie dormant for a long time to come.

And now Wu Duxiong actually told the Son of Heaven that he actually had clues there, and he promised to satisfy him, how could he not interest the Son of Heaven.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is completely sure!" Wu Duxiong said confidently.

Nothing else dares to guarantee, Wu Duxiong is sure that Jiang Haitian will never let Lu Jiuzhong return to the capital alive. Therefore, it is naturally impossible for this Manichaean not to come.

"Okay, then I'll see!"
