At that time, Feng Yao sent his subordinates to report that the elites of the previous 'Golden Guards' who had participated in the battle of the Imperial Palace, as well as the 'Tiangang Earth Golden Sword', the 'Golden Cloth Nine Forbidden', the 'Four Great Divine Blades', and the Hundred Miles Without a Trace, had all left the capital within fifty miles, and only the 'Zhengqi Shuangwei' was still wandering in the city. At the beginning of Youchu, Feng Yao sent another team to report that the identities of the martial arts people who assisted Wu Jingguo had been ascertained, more than 20 people were on the run, and 13 people were captured. The Immortal Evil Venerable robbed four wealthy merchants in a row, killed 226 people, loaded three carts of gold, silver and jewelry, and countless silver tickets and went south, while Zhao Ji and Tang Xian seemed to have disappeared, and no one saw them leave the capital, and no one saw these two people in the city.

As of noon today, the 'Hundred Ninja Essence Hall' has not found any living mouths, and the sects to which the rest of the participants belong have all sent the 'Golden Guards' to question. The emperor nodded, and immediately issued an order to arrest the 'Immortal Evil Venerable', and whoever captured or killed the 'Immortal Evil Venerable' was officially sealed with five products, rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and ignored it in the 'Zhengqi Shuangwei'.

On this day, everyone recuperated in the residence, but the emperor was busy until midnight, the next morning, the 'Golden Guard' reported, and captured Wu Jingguo's fugitive Yu Dang two, at noon, Wu Jingguo's whereabouts came back, he was infected on the way home, and now he stayed in a small county town more than 200 miles away from the capital, the emperor did not dare to use the people of the 'Golden Guard', and sent the old 'Guyu Party' members who were suppressed by Wu Jingguo, and the new 'Squire of the Military Department' Liang Zhong led a firearms battalion to arrest, and Wu Jingguo must be captured, and all his property was confiscated. Big and small things happened one after another, and the emperor took only one sip of porridge and began to get busy again, until the sun was about to set, and then he took a short rest. The emperor changed his clothes and did not sit in a sedan chair, but directly asked someone to drive a carriage and went out of the palace under the protection of Zhuang Zejing and the tiger to the 'Qinlong Tower'.

In the 'Qinlong Tower', everyone was already waiting at the door before dusk, although the emperor didn't seem to require etiquette rules for them, and the current emperor couldn't afford to offend them, but the emperor was the emperor after all, and the face that should be given was still to be given.

The sun sets, the lanterns are on, the stars are dotted in the 'Qinlong Tower', the lights outside the building are bright, and everyone stands under the lamp. A sound of horses' hooves sounded, a carriage came outside the light, the carriage stopped a person raised the curtain and went to the ground, the two people on the left and right of the carriage stepped forward to follow on both sides of this person, but saw this person with a handsome face A crane is the emperor, two people on the left and right sides of the emperor, one person in white is Zhuang Zejing, the other person is wearing a green coat and constantly dozing off but is a tiger, unprecedentedly, as a first-class hero of the impermanence but never appeared, it is said that it was ' Tianhu Daoist 'blew his beard and scolded with healing, and he has not returned since he left at noon yesterday, and he must not know about the emperor's banquet, and in addition, 'Lei Shao' has never shown up.

The emperor went out of the palace for a private visit, and everyone bowed down and did not kneel, and the shopkeeper of Libi Luo came forward to greet him and let the emperor into the building. After learning that the emperor wanted to entertain everyone, the 'Qinlong Tower' had already been cleared today, and the guests were not received, and the emperor stepped in.

The emperor sat at the same table with everyone, everyone felt the pressure, the emperor signaled the man to pour everyone full of wine, smiled and said: "Today I am here to feast you instead of in the palace is to reduce the trouble of etiquette, so that you can speak freely, and it is also convenient for me to say a few words to you, so you don't have to be restrained, today is only about friendship, not about monarchs and ministers, you can say whatever you want, and call me whatever you want." ”

The eagle patted his thigh and said: "Well said, this is like the descendants of Taizong, my eagle respects the emperor with a cup." As he spoke, he was about to raise his glass and drink it all, Yifeng hurriedly pressed the eagle's hand, and Liang Xie and Tan Xingde shook their heads at it.

The emperor smiled and said, "This cup is naturally to be drunk, but there is no hurry." He got up slowly, picked up the wine, and said: "I think my Yin family has stood through wind and rain since Taizu, relying not on saints or gods and Buddhas, but on the tolerance of the people, the sacrifice of the ancestors, this time the community was preserved, thanks to your help, you are the heroes of the community, those brothers who died in battle are the martyrs of our dynasty, this first cup, let us pay tribute to the martyrs," he said and slowly poured the wine on the ground, and everyone followed suit, spilling the wine in the cup on the ground.

The man poured a full glass of wine for everyone, and the emperor picked it up again, and said: "This second cup, to the emperor and the queen of heaven, may the wind and rain be smooth in the coming year, and the people will have enough to eat." So saying, he sprinkled it on the ground again, and the crowd followed suit.

When the wine was full, the emperor took the third glass of wine and said: "You are my benefactors, protecting hundreds of millions of subjects of my court, and even more benefactors of the court. The emperor drank it all as he spoke, and the crowd followed.

The man poured the wine again, the emperor raised his glass and drank with Shao Mingqian, and then drank with Heng Wushu, Liang Xie, Eagle and others one by one, and almost none of them fell.

In the Six Dragons Gang, the fragrance of tea is lingering, and the 'Dragon God' has been brewing a pot of tea for thousands of years, and slowly drinking one cup at a time. There were two guards beside him, Ouyang Barberry's newlywed Yan'er 'Dragon God' gave him a year's leave, and now only Han Guards were left standing aside.

A pot of water was drunk, the 'Dragon God' changed the tea leaves, and heated a pot, he never had to be served by others for these things, for him, boiling water for tea leaves was also part of drinking tea, but Han Huwei pouted in his eyes.

"After holding it for a long time, if you have anything to say, just say it. "The 'dragon god' smiled.

Han Huwei said: "Helper, the emperor's banquet, you really don't plan to go?"

The 'dragon god' asked rhetorically, "What are we going to do without making an inch?"

Han Huwei said: "But the banquet set up by the emperor in the 'Qinlong Tower', you are the main family, is it okay not to show up like this?"

The 'Dragon God' smiled, took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, slowly put down the cup and said, "Do you know why the emperor didn't hold a banquet in the imperial city and came all the way to the 'Qinlong Tower'?"

Han Huwei thought for a while and said, "'Qinlong Tower' is famous, and the food is delicious, I heard that the food in the palace is really not good. ”

The dragon god said: "No matter how famous it is, it is greater than that of the palace? For most people, how can the quality of a meal compare to the scenery of being feasted in the palace?"

Han Guard shook his head and asked, "Why is that?"

The 'Dragon God' lifted the kettle and poured it into the purple clay pot, soaked it slightly, poured the tea into the cup, took another sip and said, "The emperor is giving me a secret word." ”

"Secret words?" Guard Han wondered.

'Dragon God' nodded and said: "When the 'Qinlong Tower' was built, Emperor Qizong gave us a lot of convenience, and took some money out when he opened the bank, these two things are considered to be our personal cooperation with the emperor, after the death of Qizong, the two emperors who ascended the throne one after another did not mention this matter, and now the third emperor has high aspirations, and it is expected that he wants to take it back, but now the court is tired outside and weak inside, and the emperor is afraid of causing unnecessary variables and does not dare to openly ask us for it, so he is in' Qinlong Lou's banquet was held on the surface to invite Lord Shao and others, but inside it was to test our reaction. ”

Han Huwei said: "That's not to go." ”

The 'Dragon God' smiled: "Huh...... It is said that women take care of their families, and you are a guard who wants to repay the debt more than me. ”

Han Huwei said: "We have worked hard for many years, why give it to them?"

The 'dragon god' said: "You only see an accomplished 'dragon god', how can you ever focus on those thousands of buried and died 'dragon gods'? Externally, I am an omnipotent 'dragon god', in fact, this title is full of the emperor's support, the cultivation of the master, and the hard work of the brothers, in the final analysis, we are the biggest beneficiaries." We took advantage of the benefits first, and now the court is not rich, since the emperor has the heart to return it to them. ”

Han Guard flattened his mouth and said, "Gang leader, why are you becoming more and more uncourageous, it wasn't like this before." ”

The dragon god smiled: "People will always change, and you didn't dare to be so presumptuous before." ”

Han Guard lowered his head, not daring to refute.

The 'Dragon God' raised his glass and drank the cup of tea, stood up and walked slowly to the door, looked at the devastated capital after the war, and said to himself: "The first in the world has passed, and the life of the brothers is also good, the 'Six Qi Dragon Guards' have been stagnant for a long time, and it is difficult to break through, the emperor is not very old to stabilize Wu Jingguo, and eat away at its power step by step, so the mind must be a high-minded person, for the court and the 'Six Dragons Gang', is this an opportunity for both sides or each other's internal friction......"

In the 'Qinlong Tower', after three rounds of wine, the emperor put down the cup and said: "I keep in mind your kindness, if you have any requirements, just mention it, and you will not shirk everything that can be done." ”

The emperor's voice fell, but no one answered, the emperor smiled, looked at Shao Mingqian and asked, "What do you want from the master of the Shao League?"

Shao Mingqian said: "The benefits Yun Lao has already given them, and the 'Yang Dao Alliance' does not dare to ask for it separately. ”

The emperor smiled slightly, his eyes turned to everyone, Heng Wu is a person from the 'Raising Sword Alliance', most of the people are from the 'Raising Sword Alliance', since Shao Mingqian said that, no one immediately asked for anything. Time passed slowly in an awkward atmosphere, and the tiger originally wanted a large sum of silver, but the emperor opened his mouth and said 'kindness' to hold everyone high, and then asked for silver, which made him too stingy and embarrassed to speak at the moment.

It was the middle of the night after the banquet, and the emperor returned to the palace under the protection of Zhuang Zejing and the tiger. Qinlonglou's opened a guest room to live, although everyone and the emperor always feel awkward to eat at the same table, but after all, the heart is still a little moved, whether the emperor is really grateful to them or pretend, at least give enough face to everyone, the people of the rivers and lakes take face very seriously, sometimes for the sake of face to fight to the death is not a few, so for the emperor's banquet most people are still extremely useful, for the emperor to be grateful to the sycophants of the people are more useful, so that they are praised two sentences and even the mouth of the reward is no longer embarrassed to open.

The next day, Feng Yao reported, 'Golden Guard' caught three more people, except for 'Black Ant', Ji Ranfeng, Han Yingyue, Zhao Ji, Tang Xian, and the rest of Wu Jingguo's helpers have all been arrested, and now waiting for the news that Liang Zhong is chasing Wu Jingguo, the emperor is very satisfied and nods in approval, Feng Yao withdrew. Wang Xiu reported that in addition to the interrogation of Luo Pai and Li Nian, who were full of dead Luo and Li Nian, Ren Sixian, who was dismissed, and Jia Chengfang, who was imprisoned, and other people who participated in the interrogation, there were still eight left and right servants of the six departments, Chen Yuting, the 'Hubu Shangshu', and Xu Chunzhi, the head of the 'Golden Guard', who refused to admit their guilt, saying that they had no intention of rebelling, but were only ordered to hunt down the unknown Jianghu people.

The emperor was dissatisfied, although this result was much more serious than last time, but there was still a very strong force in the remnants of the Wu Jingguo Party, if he was left unchecked, it was inevitable that he would not resurrect in the future, so he immediately issued an order to temporarily appoint Zheng Wen, the son of Zheng Siguang, the former prefect of the 'Sunset Dead City', as the 'Criminal Department' squire, and appoint the former 'Political Envoy Si Yamen' of 'Hidden Prefecture' Mi Ren to reinstate his post, appoint the 'Gumengzhou' political envoy Duan Quyi as one of the three chief judges, and promote Zhang Guan, a small official of the 'Criminal Department', to be a squire, and a few people accompanied Wang Xiu for interrogation, and the 'rootless party' must be uprooted.
