"This is unreasonable, the eunuchs are going too far to bully others!"
Yang Ming came back from the court meeting, still furious.
The eunuchs actually used the Yulin Army as their minions and forced many ministers with sharp swords.
Many ministers were hesitant and succumbed to the power of the eunuchs.
But Yang Ming did not dare to attack rashly.
Among the eight captains of the Shendu Forbidden Army, at least half of them were members of the eunuch party, and the Yulin Army was almost completely captured by Wang Xian.
Now in the divine capital, all that matters is military strength.
The general group is not as good as the chamberlain group.
"This morning, Concubine Yan also made her attitude clear. She will support Wang Xian and make the second prince emperor."
In the harem, Empress Yang had no fights with the world. After giving birth to two dragon sons, she lived a life of pure and ascetic life, and her status was respected.
In addition to Empress Yang, Concubine Yan, Concubine Yu and Concubine Xiao were the most favored and relatively powerful concubines.
The three concubines each have their own forces to support.
Among them, Concubine Yu was the first one recommended by the chamberlain group.
Although Concubine Yu did not give birth to a son, she was deeply favored by the late emperor and is now the concubine whose name is most loudly called the Queen Mother in the court.
Unexpectedly, in addition to Concubine Yu, Concubine Yan also expressed her attitude.
"The Yan family is an aristocratic family, and Concubine Yan's younger brother Yan Da is the left guard commander of the Yulin Army and the most favored general of the Yulin Army by Jin Wu." Yang Ming felt a headache. After the fall of the late emperor, the power of the chamberlain group continued to increase.
, is expanding visible to the naked eye.
Yang Rui was also in military uniform. He was behind Yang Ming and could not stand in the front of the court.
But he saw everything.
Yang Rui looked solemn and said very worriedly: "Brother, the eunuchs are so arrogant now. If we can't establish the throne early, I'm afraid there will be more troubles."
Nowadays, the struggle between the two factions is extremely fierce, and the battle for the throne is related to the vital interests of everyone in the two factions.
If the emperor is not established, the hearts of the two factions will not be stable.
The eunuchs have shown their swords today, and there is no guarantee that they will not be harmed by the swords in the future.
Yang Ming has many subordinates, but now the only one he can truly trust unconditionally is his biological brother.
He asked: "What do you think?"

The city of God is in ups and downs.
Cao Su outside Xiguan was extremely leisurely.
Practice martial arts every day, and your realm will advance rapidly at the fourth level.
After sparring with Wang Meng, Cao Su's sword skills were confirmed.
He is good at swordsmanship, and he is very good at learning Thunder Knife. It is much better than practicing the Star Reaching Technique, which has not made any progress for a long time.
In mid-March, Cao Su was full of internal energy, and the thunder sword he was practicing had begun to take shape.
On the martial arts field in the camp, you can often see Cao Su flashing with lightning and flashing around like a ghost.
The soldiers were no longer surprised and knew that General Cao was now practicing peerless martial arts and reaching the top level.
At less than twenty years old, he has already begun to hit the high-level realm.
This kind of martial arts talent is simply rare in the world.
If it were in Jianghu, many sects would cry and ask Cao Su to be his successor.
But now that Cao Su was in the military camp, he could only receive heartfelt admiration from his men.
The fourth grade to the third grade is a leap from the middle grade to the upper grade.
In the realm of strength, the lower level accumulates Qi and blood, the middle level stimulates internal energy, and the upper level forms Gang Feng.
If you want to break through from the middle level to the top level, you must develop your inner strength to a new level.
The most remarkable feature is that it can penetrate the body and form a strong wind.
The so-called Gangfeng is the Jianghu people's way of saying that the inner strength is covered by the outer cover. The most essential feature is that the inner strength in the warrior's body can completely adhere to the body surface for the first time and maintain it in a stable state, integrating one's own defense power.
Elevate to a new level.
Because of Wai Gang Jin, warriors can also get rid of the pull of gravity and can fly in the air for a short period of time.
The reason why it is short-lived is because the outer force consumes a lot. During a long-term flight, once the inner energy is consumed, it will no longer be possible to control the air without the outer force.
Cao Su is looking forward to both the breakthrough to the top level and the "short flight".
In the later stage of the fourth level, the internal energy is gradually full, but the control is still lacking.
According to the usual way to break through from the fourth level to the third level, Cao Su must at least open the "mysterious gate" in his body, so that the inside and outside can be smooth, and the power can be transferred without worries. This can be regarded as a real breakthrough.
But it is more difficult to open the "Xuan Pass". In the previous Qi and Blood practice, Cao Su had already opened many meridians and acupuncture points in the body.
Today's "xuanguan" is more like a shackles existing in the mental state.
The so-called practicing Qi to transform essence, if one cannot improve mentally, then the profound entrance will not be broken, and there will be no hope for the third level for life.
This is also the main reason why many warriors can only be stuck in the fourth level throughout their lives and cannot climb to the top level. Just looking for the "profound entrance" takes a lifetime of effort.
Cao Su has not found the "Xuan Pass" yet, but his spirit is always in high spirits.
The constant use of Soul Capture Boy has made his spirit stronger than that of ordinary warriors.
Thunder Knife is also a good way to practice.
While Cao Su was practicing the thunder sword, he felt a trace of the power of thunder and lightning. This power of thunder and lightning floated freely in his body, weakly tempering his body and spirit.
"No wonder Wang Meng is so fast. It turns out that his body is tempered like this every day."
The Thunder Knife was indeed unique. Cao Su already felt that he couldn't put it down when he first took a look at it.
When it is really completed, it is expected to combine the Dragon Blade and the Thunder Blade to complete the leap from advanced to first-class skills.

The Capital of Gods, the Liu Family Courtyard.
The emperor star fell, the gods were in mourning, and Liu's fine tea business was also affected.
In the past few days, all I heard in the Liu family compound was bad news about the damage to various businesses.
The big shopkeeper of the Liu family is Liu Yiqi.
This little girl in her twenties supported the Liu family.
However, the Liu family's economic collapse seems to have reached an irreversible point.
"Yiqi, all the trade routes in Xizhou have been cut off, and Yuzhou has also been affected. The city of Shendu, which was thought to be able to guarantee the bottom line, cannot be sold at all now. The government also requires us to reduce the tea business in the near future, and raw materials are backlogged in the city.
There is no way to deal with it in the villa outside."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Beside Liu Yiqi, there are several elders of the Liu family who help her with her work.
The person who spoke earlier was her second uncle, with a sad face.
Liu Yiqi rubbed the center of her eyebrows, feeling deeply exhausted mentally and physically.
"I have asked people in the court before that in a few days, the court will lift the ban on mourning. As long as the new emperor ascends the throne and the curfew is lifted, our Liu family's fine tea can still be sold."
Liu Yiqi could only comfort those around her with a loud voice.
However, the second uncle is not a fool. The situation in the city is urgent, so how can he not know it?
He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
"Although the late emperor has been buried, a storm is coming in the divine capital. The usual lively and prosperous scene has long disappeared. The streets are full of soldiers in military uniforms."
"Everyone in the city has said that all 300,000 forbidden troops have poured into the Divine Capital City. The current Divine Capital City is very dangerous."
"Even though we are willing to sell tea, people are tightening their pockets to cope with unknown risks."
In the current Shendu City, all walks of life have been affected. Gambling houses, gourmet bars, taverns and other entertainment venues that are popular among the people in the city have been closed. At night, the whole city is filled with the sound of rumbling footsteps, and the people across the door are
The clanking sound of armor can be heard.
The struggle between the general group and the chamberlain group has affected everyone from the beginning.
This influence is irreversible, and Liu, who is in the middle of the class, is deeply affected and powerless.
Liu Yiqi said helplessly: "Let the stewards cancel the orders booked years ago. Now that we can't leave the city and the tea house cannot produce, these orders cannot be completed."
The second uncle nodded, this is the inevitable approach.
But in this way, although the reputation of the Liu family was preserved, the actual interests suffered a great loss.
"Our own restaurant business has also been affected."
The second uncle took out the bills one after another.
The Liu family has a big business. In addition to the tea business, it also has several restaurants in the city.
These restaurants, in their heyday, were naturally making money every day.
But now the economy of the Qianyuan Dynasty is bleak, and the restaurant business has been losing money. Now it is even worse. From making money every day to making money every day, the salary of the restaurant staff is almost in arrears.
The Liu family has begun to rest on its laurels.
Since the first year when the empire was renamed Yongning, nothing good has happened.
"To finance the expenses of the restaurant, we will first use the money from the treasury to support it. We still have some silks and satins purchased years ago at home. We will sell them on the market first to subsidize the household expenses. Don't throw away the canceled orders and keep in touch with the other party.
, as soon as the city of God is unblocked, the order will be renewed immediately..."
Liu Yiqi felt exhausted physically and mentally as she arranged things one by one.
After her second uncle took the order and left, her legs and feet softened and she sat directly on the chair with a tired look on her face.
The predicament of the Liu family has become very obvious. It is difficult to start a fine tea business. If the problem cannot be solved for the Liu family, the Liu family will not be able to maintain their reputation as a famous family and a wealthy gentry.
Preserving the name is still secondary, the key is to support the Nuo family first.
Otherwise, disintegration is imminent.
She wanted to leave her husband more than once. If she really wanted to leave, the way was very simple, that is, to obey the family's will and marry a young man of the right age who was good in both sexes, so that she could get rid of her identity in the Liu family.
Families can also get new help from marriages.
However, there was always a voice of reluctance deep in Liu Yiqi's heart.
She felt that their big Liu family, although it was waning, could still be saved.
