In the main hall, although everyone was tensely confronting each other, and the situation was about to break out, everyone knew in their hearts that the decisive battle was not within the main hall, but outside the main hall.
In the Crescent Kingdom, the palace guards are divided into two systems: internal guards and external guards. The inside of the palace is under the control of the internal guards and is under the jurisdiction of Jiang Huai, the general manager of the internal guards. But outside the palace walls and the palace where political affairs are discussed, the outside guards are responsible.
Jurisdiction.
The field guards were basically controlled by Gan Wa and Prince Chen Yu. Finance Minister Gan Wa bribed Lu Liang, the chief of guards, while Feng Qing, the deputy chief of guards, was from Prince Chen Yu. The two parties were holding weapons against each other, and no one could
They didn't dare to make the first move. These good brothers, who were usually good brothers, all wanted to take down each other for the benefit of their masters.
"By the order of His Majesty the King, the harem guards are ordered to take over all defenses inside and outside the royal city. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Jiang Huai held a gold medal and led a large group of harem guards to surround the two parties outside the palace gate.
Jiang Huai's arrival was so sudden that both parties were confused for a moment. In fact, Jiang Huai should have arrived a long time ago, but just now he brought secret personnel to control other major locations in the palace and set up defenses at each important road.
Came over.
"Two adults, do you still want to disobey me? Why don't you put down your weapons?" Jiang Huai, the head of the internal security, has a very high prestige among these guards. In addition, Jiang Huai has many times more men than the two of them combined. He is
As soon as he roared, many people immediately put down their weapons.
Lu Liang and Feng Qing were also surprised. They knew how many inner guards there were, and both sides also sent people to prevent the inner guards from resisting. Why did there suddenly appear so many people, and they didn't know any of them.
To this group of murderous soldiers, all bows and arrows were pointed at them, and the two men reluctantly handed over their weapons.
The thick palace door separated the inside and outside of the palace. The ministers in the palace had no idea what was going on outside.
The two factions of Gan Wa and Chen Yu are still at war with each other. In fact, they are both waiting for the moment the palace door opens. Whether they live or die depends on whose troops come in. Both sides are making a huge gamble.
If Prince Chen Yu loses, he will have nothing waiting for him, and he will have his entire family slaughtered. But if Gan Wa loses, he will die with no regrets. At least he can stir up civil strife in Xinyue, right?
He can be regarded as conscientious in his duties to Lan Ka, laying a good foundation for Lan Ka's attack. Once he wins, the new moon will be controlled by Gan Wa, and he can easily control it without any alliance with Chaodu.
Eat the new moon.
Outside the Crescent City, Guo Jing and Feng Toltai led an army of 30,000 Chaodu troops and quickly rushed towards the city. These 30,000 troops did not raise any flags, and the low sound of horse hooves shook the earth.
Know where these people come from.
Within the royal city, soldiers and horses from various places were also mobilized. The soldiers and horses of Prince Chen Yu and the soldiers and horses controlled by Gan Wa began to assemble in two military camps respectively.
Outside the headquarters of the Witch Cult, more than forty spies were all killed by the Berserkers, leaving no one alive. Li Tian's order to them was very direct. No matter who they were, no one was left alive, and there was no need to know who the master behind them was.
.
Situ Ying looked at the sisters of the witch sect and took out the king's token, "All members of the witch sect obey the order. As the leader of the witch sect and the New Moon State Preceptor, I order the four elders and six guardians to lead the personnel of each department.
, within one update, as planned, control all the palaces of officials above the fifth rank in the royal city. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy.
Especially the sisters who belong to the third sister, you should pay more attention. The place you are going to is Ganwa's mansion. I estimate that it is the base camp of Blue Card. There must be Blue Card magicians mixed in. I will allocate another one to you.
Thousands of Chaodu Berserkers will send a signal for help if they encounter a strong enemy."
Although these sisters of the witch sect are all women, their patriotism is no less than that of any man. After many days of suppression, these witches have also taken a breath. Originally, Li Tian was worried that these women would be merciful, but after this action
When they got up, even the berserker warriors who followed were shocked by the ruthlessness of these women.
As soon as the Witch Cult sisters started taking action, Situ Ying also led two thousand berserkers to the east city gate.
Most of the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were mobilized by the generals of both factions, Gan Wa and Chen Yu. Situ Ying easily took over the defense of the city gate without much effort.
Looking at the dust rising in the distance, Situ Ying knew that Guo Jing and Feng Toltai had arrived on time. Whether they could suppress Chen Yu and Gan Wa's troops all depended on the 30,000 troops in Chaodu. Situ Ying felt a little bit in his heart
Uneasy, silently praying for the new moon.
Above the court and in the main hall, the two forces began to reveal each other's background. One said how much money you had embezzled, and the other said how many bad things he had done that were embarrassing to Xinyue.
When the old king heard these words, he was sad and sighed, "Oh~ these are my ministers of Xinyue. I really didn't expect that they are all such people. To hear it in the ears of the lonely king, it really makes me sad.
It’s so depressing.”
"Your Majesty, don't be sad. We, a dozen ministers, will accompany you on your journey, and we will never leave your Majesty's side even if you are a ghost." The person who said this was Shi Hua, the censor of the royal city.
The old king looked at the ministers around him and realized that most of the people who were loyal to him were officials. These people usually had no real power and would only make small reports to the king. The king had not interfered much with government affairs in recent years, so these people followed suit.
Very marginalized.
"Haha, you ministers sometimes say harsh words in the memorials, complaining that the lonely king is weak and incompetent, but I don't like to hear it. It seems that your words of advice are really harsh to your ears. The lonely king is really sorry for you."
"Your Majesty, I am loyal to the king and serve the country. Your Majesty should not be sad if you regard death as home." After Shi Hua finished speaking, more than a dozen people who were loyal to the king knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
"Gun, these guys are lucky. I guess the old king will reward them severely." Li Tian whispered. Now he and Shengun have become redundant, and no one pays attention to them anymore.
"Li Tian, did you hear that? Loyalty is irritating! In Chaodu, my words are the most irritating. It shows how fucking good I am to you. You kid, don't be heartless. When you return, you will treat Chaodu's
The financial power is entrusted to the management of this envoy. Don’t worry, I will help you manage the money, and I guarantee that there will be no shortage of money.”
"Damn it! What you say is not to offend your ears, but to ask for a beating. Besides, if I hand over the money and power to you, the army in Chaodu will probably be hungry and begging for food. I don't want to ask my brothers to get a piece of shit first when there is a war.
Bowl, sing a piece of Lotus Falling, and then go into battle to fight hard after the meal."
"Don't fucking know what's good and what's good. I'll get angry when I hear what you say. You damn eunuch, go tell the king, it's time for us to appear. These bastards don't even know how to quarrel. If I were the envoy, I could at least curse.
How many will die?" The magician also knew that Li Tian would not be able to give him the financial power, and he would not be able to manage it.
Li Tian also felt that the time was almost up, so he walked to the king, whispered a few times quietly, and then returned to stand behind the magic stick.
This would have been unimaginable in normal times. A young eunuch from another country ran to the king's throne and dared to whisper in the king's ear. But now, no one pays attention to this expired king.
They were all thinking about who could defeat the other, Finance Minister Gan Wa or Prince Chen Yu.
The old king said to Shi Hua who was beside him, "Shi Aiqing, I don't know if King Gu's order is still effective."
Shi Hua knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty's orders are always the highest orders in my heart."
"Well, that's good. The lonely king orders you to give me a shout. Tell these traitors to shut up. The lonely king has something to say." The old king looked at Shi Hua happily and said.
Upon hearing this, Censor Shihua raised his head and looked at the old king, "Your Majesty is right. You are my king of the new moon. Even if you die, you want these traitors to know your majesty."
After saying that, he stood up and wiped his sad tears with his court clothes. He took a few steps forward and stood on the steps with his head held high.
The old king shook his head as he listened. In the past, if he dared to say that the king was dead, he would at least be charged with disrespect, and he would behead Shi Hua if he was dissatisfied. But now, when the old king listened, he felt that
I feel very comfortable.
Censor Shi Hua stood on the steps. Although he was a civil servant, his voice was not small. Anyway, he was going to die, and he had to die heroically. Shi Hua exerted all his strength, and shouted with his face flushed, "Hey! You guys
Rebels, shut up, His Majesty the King will give you a lesson for these rebellious and rebellious officials."
Not to mention, just this voice really startled the ministers below. The court fell silent, and they all looked at the king and some unappreciated officials around him. They didn’t know that the old king still had
What to say.
"Hey, you ministers, even if this king abdicates the throne, you don't have to be in such a hurry. Now I am still the king of New Moon, so I will issue another decree." After saying that, the old king stood up and followed the movement of his body.
Standing upright, his momentum also changed. A kingly aura exuded from the old king, and the dull and lazy image just now was completely wiped out from the old king.
"Censor Shihua comes forward and listens to the order!"
"I'm here!"
"Read this edict loudly to the lonely king." The old king took out a rolled-up yellow imperial edict.
Shi Hua took the imperial decree with both hands and faced the ministers with a look of death. He unfolded the thick scroll and read loudly: "The lonely king is old and will abdicate in the near future. The throne will be passed to the prince Chen Lan. Because the prince is young
, I have never experienced government affairs. I ordered the prince to worship the sun god of Chaodu as his eldest brother and assist me in the government of Xinyue. Xinyue and Chaodu, the two countries will be in harmony forever for generations~~" When Shi Hua finished reading this decree, he was satisfied
Both the civil and military officials of the court were in shock.
However, the old king then shocked everyone even more. "After this court meeting, I saw the chaos among the ministers and was very sad. Because it involved the king's brother Chen Yu and the minister Gan Wa, in order to show the king's
Notary, I have decided not to come forward to deal with this matter. I would like to ask Master Li Tian of Chaodu to temporarily exercise the rights of King of Crescent Moon and have full authority to deal with this civil strife in Crescent Moon. Little friend Li Tian, please come up and say a few words.
"After the old king finished speaking, he looked at Li Tian with a kind of pride.
Hearing what the old king said, Li Tian was also a little surprised. It seemed that the old fox was determined to pull the tide. But at this point, Li Tian could only bite the bullet and stand up.
Li Tian? This eunuch is Li Tian from Chaodu?
No one among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty does not know what this name represents. This name represents a powerful force, a powerful regime that can destroy any party outside the customs.
