When half of the palace was shrouded in blood, it was the Prime Minister's Mansion that was closest to the palace.
In the back garden, a hundred-foot-tall artificial stone rockery pointed out, and on top of a tower that was dozens of feet high, dozens of officials in purple robes stood leaning on the railings, looking at the imperial city shrouded in blood.
At that time, Zhu Chong, the prime minister of the dynasty, had dozens of officials from the newly established six ministries under the prime minister's office, namely, Sikotai, Yushitai, Dali Temple, Guanglu Temple, Honglu Temple, Zhengyintang Hall, and even the heads of the Imperial Academy, Imperial College and other departments.
The important ministers who held high positions in the Dayin court and had the right to speak in the culture and education gathered here.
“The emperor has entered the palace.”
"It is said that the Queen Mother will use the spirit of the emperor to suppress evil spirits."
“The spirit of the emperor? If the emperor died in the palace tonight.”
"The Queen Mother, the General, and the core members of the Le family are all in the palace. Just in case..."
"There are many clans in Dayin. If the emperor dies, it will just be a matter of which one is the most suitable."
“Mr. Bai Shan, there are also clan members studying in the Imperial Academy. Who do you think is the most suitable?”
Bai Changkong stood proudly in the wind, stroking his long beard with his right hand, and smiled implicitly: "Masters, the matter of abolishing the establishment is now just a trivial matter for our culture and education, so there is no need to worry about it."
“The most important thing today is that there are real ghosts.”
"This legendary thing has really appeared. What impact will they have on our country, Dayin Jiangshan?"
"Where did they come from, what did they do, how to eliminate them, and how to deal with them? This is what the Gongun princes need to pay most attention to today."
“Compared with these ghosts and ghosts, the mere administration of government is, to the princes, nothing more than reading texts from the palm of your hand, as easy as turning the palm of your hand back!”
Bai Changkong was extremely confident and smiled at his colleagues and friends around him.
Zhu Chong and below, all the cultural and educational dignitaries nodded reservedly, with smiles on their faces.
Indeed, even if the emperor is gone, it is just a matter of replacing him... Moreover, if the Queen Mother also dies in this incident, it will be a good thing for cultural and educational officials.
Perhaps it would be a better choice to replace a helpless clan boy with the throne. If he is a clan boy who was born in the Imperial Academy, then he might be more obedient. His own disciple is always a hundred times better than the lazy and stupid emperor now.
Times!
Compared to such a trivial matter as changing the emperor, these sudden ghosts really give you gentlemen a headache.
"Perhaps what the Queen Mother did today has some truth to it." Honglu Temple Minister Li Ziqian smiled and said: "My lords, there are unicorns hidden in the fields. Our Dayin area is vast. If you think about it among the people, there should be some strange people and strange people. As long as
A recruitment list..."
When Zhu Chong heard this, all the cultural and educational leaders applauded and laughed.
"It's good, it's good, what Mr. Li said is true... This recruitment list has to be released by Honglu Temple so that it can be spread throughout the world as quickly as possible." Zhu Chong praised: "After all, there are many yamen in the court.
Only Honglu Temple has the closest connection with the surrounding major states and the most channels... If we can recruit three or five wise men and deal with these ghosts, Mr. Li should be the first to do so!"
Everyone laughed in unison.
Zhu Chong stretched out his hand and smiled at the big bosses and colleagues: "Come on, come on, come on, it's boring to just stand there. I have prepared fine wine and food, and invited a few people who are excellent in folk music to play music for the fun. I'll wait and drink."
Joy, let’s see what happens in the imperial city tonight.”
The word "end" has a rather derogatory connotation. One can imagine Zhu Chong's attitude towards the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
In a short time, on the high-rise building, wine and meat were fragrant, beauties were dancing wildly, several top beauties from the Haojing level were playing the piano and flute, and a group of big shots gathered here to have fun, it was really indescribable.
happy.
At the same time, in Lu Qian’s office at the Yushunfang Survey Department, Ahu was frowning and putting a note in Lu Qian’s drawer.
“In recent days, the brothers in Kunpengfang have discovered that the number of snacks sold every day, as well as the food flowing out of the grain, oil and rice stores, has increased by thousands compared to usual times, and the income has been a lot more money?”
“Well, wouldn’t it be a good thing to make more money?”
Ahu muttered vaguely: "It's the New Year, everyone has money on hand and is greedy, so it's okay to eat more."
As he spoke, Ahu's mouth drooled.
He strode out of the door and shouted: "I'm hungry, I'm hungry, hey, eunuch, are you hungry? I'll treat you to something... There's nothing good, just old wine, stinky tofu, and mutton skewers."
,Beef skewers are all available!”
“Hey, do you want some skewers of roasted lamb? This is a good thing... Uh, yes, you don’t need it!”
Several young eunuchs looked at Ahu with resentful eyes.
If it weren't for Ahu who was personally recruited by Lu Qian, these eunuchs would definitely have taught Ahu a lesson with their cruel nature.
However, since they are Lu Qian’s confidants, what can they do?
Eat, if you don’t eat, it’s free!
Several young eunuchs called their friends, and twenty young eunuchs quickly gathered together and followed Ahu out of the station in a queue, heading straight to the night market where a bunch of small vendors gathered at the corner of the street.
In the darkness of the night, a watchman on sentry whistled and chuckled: "Does it look like a big rooster leading a group of chicks to catch insects?"
In the darkness, the laughter of the guards could be heard everywhere.
Ahu turned his head again and waved his hand towards the station: "Come with some brothers and follow me. I will take the young father-in-law to eat delicious food and drink spicy food. The brothers can't treat me badly. I will order some roasted lamb and roasted pig."
, some good wine is back, let’s all have fun together.”
The supervisors were overjoyed, and a group of fifty people immediately rushed out of the station and followed Ahu eagerly.
Ahu held his head high and led a large group of people to eat and drink.
This is what Lu Qian has explained. Anyway, there is no shortage of money. Use good wine, good meat, and heavy financial rewards to win over these eunuchs and jailers. These eunuchs are all masters. These jailers are all good hands. Cooperate.
Excellent standard ordnance, this is a small and powerful mobile force.
Ahu is not good at using his brain.
But when he drinks, brags, eats meat, and fights with his brothers, everyone enthusiastically worships him as a brother, ah ah, he is really good at it.
While strings of indescribable rams were sprinkled with cumin powder, sprinkled with chili powder, and roasted on the charcoal fire until the aroma was overflowing, a group of cavalry was marching silently on Kunpeng Avenue, the main road of Kunpengfang.
There are not many cavalry, only four to five hundred. They are wearing heavy armor and helmets. They carry special strong bows that are almost as long as their bodies. They are holding two-foot-four-foot long horses. They are sitting on mounts, not
It is not an ordinary war horse, but a vicious wolf with gray hair all over its body and a body that is slightly taller than an ordinary horse.
The sky had just darkened, and the changes in the imperial city were blocked by the hundred-foot-high city wall. Ordinary people could not clearly see the changes in the imperial city even if they climbed up.
So, Kunpeng Avenue is still lively, with pedestrians and carriages everywhere.
Seeing this group of wolf cavalry galloping at full speed along the hundred-foot-wide military galloping road in the middle of the road, a son of an official family on the roadside exclaimed: "This is the Icefield Gray Wolf Cavalry from the Northern Boundary City.
Enhou’s direct line cavalry, why are they back in Beijing?”
No one said a word about the cold-blooded Canglang Cavalry. The leading general held the golden ax given by the emperor and drove straight in. All the soldiers patrolling the city, the Wuhou who patrolled the city, etc. on the road looked sideways, and no one dared to stand in front of them.
This is the ax given by the emperor, which can be used to conquer unruly ministers, and to kill the rebellious ministers first and then report them.
Of course, now that the emperor's authority is not strong, it is impossible to kill princes or important officials in the court. But the ordinary second- and third-level officials of the square are also the ordinary fourth-level officials.
, if you are unlucky enough to bump into someone and get beheaded, you will be beheaded.
You can kill high-ranking officials of the third and fourth ranks, let alone minions like them?
Therefore, the Canglang Riders acted as if they were entering uninhabited territory and headed straight north along the Kunpeng Avenue. When they were approaching the imperial city, they turned east and passed directly in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Continuing a few miles eastward, a green-black complex with thick and dense buildings suddenly came into view.
In front of the gate of this majestic building, thousands of soldiers wearing armor, all of them carefully selected big and strong men who looked a bit elite, were lined up in a military formation and guarded separately.
In front of the door.
This is the Yamen of the Dayin Military Department. The people guarding the gate are soldiers from the Haojing City Defense Army.
The Haojing City Defense Army, in the army system of Dayin, did not have this organization a hundred years ago.
Until nearly a hundred years ago, with the rise of culture and education, the prime minister who was responsible for the civil and administrative affairs of the court was controlled by the children of culture and education. Six new ministries were established under the prime minister's office to cut off the power of the traditional yamen in the court and cut off the interests from the traditional nobles. This is euphemistically called
'political reform'.
The Ministry of Punishment targeted Sikootai.
The Ministry of Household Affairs has identified Taifu Terrace.
The Ministry of Rites aimed its sword at Honglu Temple, Guanglu Temple and other government offices.
The Ministry of War naturally focused on the General’s Office and the Fifth Army Office.
The power struggle therein has been so bloody for hundreds of years that it could fill a story as long and smelly as Mrs. Wang’s foot-binding cloth.
Seeing hundreds of elite Canglang Cavalry rushing towards them, in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, more than a thousand city defense soldiers shook their bodies and made a 'crack' sound, and spears and halberds were thrust forward one after another. One of them was wearing a flying tiger robe.
The general wearing bright silver armor and carrying a sword at his waist took two steps forward and shouted sternly: "Who is coming? How dare you break into the Yamen of the Ministry of War, the hub of Dayin's military aircraft?"
The fast-running Canglangqi suddenly stopped.
These dire wolves, from running fast to suddenly stopping, only passed through a short buffer of two or three feet. From extremely fast to suddenly stopping, it was almost an instant. Such an easy and comfortable change in speed has made these ice wolves very comfortable since their establishment.
The face of the city defense sergeant, who had never fought a battle, suddenly changed.
The general holding the golden ax took it out from his waist and threw out a red copper pipe as thick as an arm.
"Two months ago, my Lord Marquis announced that the Emperor of Tomorrow would go home to visit his relatives. According to the order of the Ministry of War, I came here to report."
"This time my Marquis returns to Haojing. According to the military regulations of the General's Office, and with my title as Marquis, ten thousand personal guards are stationed outside the city and have already set up camp. Three thousand personal guards, Canglangqi, follow the Marquis into the city. You and others
Register in detail, if there is anything wrong!"
The general raised the golden ax in his hand and gave it a light slash.
A wolf roar sounded, and a bloody Yuangang roared out from the golden axe, shooting forward thirty feet. Then it exploded with a 'bang' and exploded into a hurricane, which almost missed the military general in bright silver armor.
Knocked over and fell to the ground.
Hundreds of wolf riders laughed strangely in unison, then turned their mounts and ran straight towards Wuyinfang in the west.
Wuyinfang, in the northwest corner, on the edge of the imperial city, is the General's Mansion. Tianenhou Lu Tie has already arrived in front of the gate with two thousand personal guards, Canglang Riding.
"The last general, Lu Wei, has returned to Haojing to visit his relatives. I will report this to the general!"
