The sun is blazing, and the sky is clear.

High in the air, half of the mighty and righteous river floated rapidly.

As the way forward, the edge of this long river of righteousness crumbles into clouds and mist, and the whole gradually becomes shorter and thinner.

After traveling about 1,200 miles, less than one-tenth of the remaining Haoran Righteous River suddenly collapsed, revealing Yan Hui's figure.

Yan Hui, who suddenly slowed down, couldn't react for a while, and stumbled a few times in succession before he stopped his body and landed on a white cloud.

Yan Hui glanced down at the wound between his ribs that had not healed for a long time, and looked back in the direction of Chang'an, feeling palpitations.

Yan Hui asked himself if he had ever underestimated Lin Ze, but he never thought that the third realm of heaven and man, to which the destiny of heaven belongs, would be so terrifying.

Even if he was seriously injured and did not heal, his cultivation was not one out of ten, but he was once the top third realm of heaven and man, and he almost didn't make a move.

If it weren't for his quick reaction and timely escape, according to this posture, he almost folded in Chang'an.

If he really wants to capsize in the gutter, Yan Hui is afraid that he will not be nailed to the pillar of shame and become the laughing stock of his colleagues.

Unable to help but sigh, Yan Hui concentrated on mobilizing his Dao to rush to the wound on his waist, trying to dispel the remaining Heavenly Dao power belonging to Lin Ze on it, so that the wound would heal.

After a while, Yan Hui's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and this Heavenly Dao power belonging to Lin Ze was like a bone appendage, and it couldn't be dispelled for a long time.

At this moment, Yan Hui's dangerous assessment of Lin Ze suddenly increased by a few notches.

Yan Hui, who looked gloomy and uncertain, secretly thought: If you want to deal with this Lin Ze, you must return to your peak state as soon as possible and join forces with several senior brothers, so that you have a chance to win.

In addition, if the saint does not come out, Lin Ze will have no one to control him.

Glancing at the direction of Chang'an again, Yan Hui hurried towards the Jixia School Palace, if he wanted to return to his peak state, he had to ask the teacher to take action.

......

Chang'an, in front of the altar, a group of officials from Western Qin walked out from all corners, looking at Lin Ze with a gloomy face in a distraught mood, waiting for orders.

And more people think that they want not to be implicated.

Even Zhou Xing, a civil official who has always been good at observing words and emotions and being articulate, did not dare to take the initiative to speak, for fear of touching Lin Ze's moldy head.

After a while, Lin Ze came back to his senses from his contemplation, looked at the ministers, and said expressionlessly: "Hu Hai wants to re-establish the Qin State and regain the Ying family's world, what do you think?"

Zhou Xing quickly swept over the group of colleagues who bowed their heads and were silent, thought for a moment, and made a decision in an instant, gritted his teeth and walked quickly to Lin Ze's eyes, bowed down and bowed:

"Your Majesty, Hu Hai, as the royal family of Qin, did not hesitate to collude with the chaotic party and tried to cause trouble in Western Qin. ”

"I also ask Your Majesty to order him to be arrested and brought to justice and dealt with in accordance with the laws of Western Qin. ”

A strange smile appeared on Lin Ze's face when he heard this, and he snorted lightly: "Zhou Qing is really loyal to the monarch and the country, and the position of Chang'an Ling is still vacant, can Zhou Qing have the confidence to take on this important task?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xing's heart beat uncontrollably, he had thought that this move would be rewarded by Lin Ze, but he never thought that he would be promoted to the Chang'an Order of the rank of Jiuqing.

Rejoicing is glad, obviously he has taken the right step, the court rules, the monarch may hate the able ministers, but he will not dislike the loyal ministers.

Zhou Xing knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times with a solemn expression, and replied in a loud voice: "Returning to Your Majesty, the minister will never let Your Majesty down." ”

Lin Ze smiled undeniably, he rewarded Zhou Xing not because he said a few nice words, but because he was expressing his attitude.

Hu Hai's matter will inevitably make some people have different thoughts, which is beyond Lin Ze's control, and people's hearts are often the most difficult.

It does not prevent Lin Ze from sending a clear signal to his ministers: those who are loyal to me must be rewarded, and those who turn their backs on me will weigh themselves.

Lin Ze's gaze swept over the faces of the ministers, and he said indifferently: "If anyone wants to follow Hu Hai and want to hang the seal and leave, I will not stop it." If someone disobeys the yin and wants to eat inside and out, I will never show mercy. ”

"That's all I say, Zhu Qing will think about it clearly, if you don't have such thoughts, and prepare for war with peace of mind, retreat. ”

"The ministers obeyed, and the ministers retired. The ministers bowed down and responded, but they didn't think so, if they wanted to run, they would run secretly, who would dare to express it openly, and they would be tired of it?

The ministers, who had been affected by the accident three times and twice, did not dare to stay in front of the altar, and left quickly with their heads down.

When the ministers dispersed, Lin Ze immediately beckoned to the four brocade-clothed guards guarding near the altar, and ordered in a slightly cold tone: "Quickly go and find out the situation in Hu Hai's hermitage." ”

"No," the four brocade-clothed guards hurriedly left, for fear of being slapped to death by Lin Ze, who was in an angry state.

Lin Ze, who was floating in mid-air, took a few steps forward and appeared in front of the map in the study room of the Shu Marquis's Mansion.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Ze brushed the pen on the paper and wrote: Ordered Chen Ping to pay close attention to the movements of the Han Kingdom, and if the time is ripe, order the army to go south, and strike first.

If the situation is not right, then defend according to the river, and be sure to block the Han State south of the Yellow River.

In addition, Lin Ze wrote a personal letter to Mo Zhai, telling him that he had returned to his destiny and that the victory of the Dao Palace was in sight, so that he must withstand the pressure of Confucianism.

After writing, Lin Ze summoned the messenger and ordered the messenger to send it to Handan at a speed of 100,000 urgently.

After briefly arranging the affairs of the north, Lin Ze then wrote another holy decree, ordering Han Xin to attack South Vietnam with all his might.

He also deliberately emphasized that in this campaign, he did not seek to capture much territory, how many people were captured, and whether the spoils were abundant, but only a little, and all those who were enemies of Western Qin were all executed, leaving no one alive.

At the end, Lin Ze also attached a famous sentence from later generations: Saving land and losing people, people and land are lost, saving people and losing land, people and land are gained.

In the end, Lin Ze issued a holy decree to Yu Ziqi, who was stationed at Hangu Pass, and from now on, Hangu Pass was fully banned, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the customs.

Confucianism's move out of Hu Hai once again made Lin Ze feel like the enemy of the world.

Don't think about it, once Hu Hai comes forward to hold high the banner, there will be countless responders.

If the news reaches Guanzhong, the old Qin people who have cultivated and fought heirlooms will probably directly raise the anti-flag and shake the rule of Western Qin in Guanzhong.

Instead of extinguishing the fire from all sides, it is better to control the source directly.

This alone is not enough insurance, Lin Ze also issued a holy decree to Jinyiwei to strengthen the patrol of the counties and counties in Guanzhong, if there is an unknown person haunted, arrest it first and then investigate.

If Jinyi Wei finds that someone secretly communicates with Hu Hai or Chu Han and the Three Kingdoms of South Vietnam, he will openly exterminate the whole clan to set an example.

In this situation, Lin Ze didn't have much time and energy to buy people's hearts and use gentle means to change some people's minds.

It is often much easier to destroy the physical body than to distort the spirit, and Lin Ze decisively chose the easiest way.
