I Am Immortal In The Cultivation World

Sishi.

Nine melodious bells sounded throughout the capital.

The civilians hid in their homes and shivered, praying for an early end to the chaos in Beijing.

All the officials had put on their imperial uniforms long ago, and after hearing the bell, they rushed to the imperial city under the protection of the family guard.

From time to time, we heard cries and screams on the road. There is never a shortage of thieves who fish in troubled waters, taking advantage of the chaos in the palace to rob houses.

The east gate of the palace.

The master servants on duty on the city wall kept urging all the officials to meet alone and forbid the family guards to approach.

The palace gate was only opened a small crack, and all the officials entered one by one.

The master servants searched the whole body, making sure that no weapons were carried, especially objects similar to handguns.

Zhao Mu relied on firearms to break through the palace gate, so he would naturally guard against it.

When the old eunuch saw Cui Shilang from the Ministry of Rites walk in, he winked quietly, and the body searcher immediately understood, the dagger slipped out of his cuff, and fell to the ground clattering.

"Cui Shilang intends to assassinate His Majesty!"

The servant let out a loud cry, and hit Cui Shilang's chest with both palms out of anger.

Flying across Zhang Xuyuan, Cui Shilang had no time to argue, arrows rained down on the palace wall and shot him into a hedgehog.

Cui's guards fled in all directions, not even caring about the master's bones.

All the officials remained silent, as if they had expected this long ago. Cui Shilang is a hardcore member of the Empress Dowager, and has been promoted to three ranks in just three months.

It is rumored that this year it will go one step further and take charge of the culture and education of the world.

Lu Shangshu watched with cold eyes, showing no mercy to Cui Shilang's death, instead sighed: "It's a pity, Mr. Qi, it's only a month away."

"It's destiny."

He Shangshu from the household department next to him said: "Your Majesty will definitely rehabilitate Qi Shilang, and maybe he will posthumously, so as to shade his descendants."

Everyone is dead, so what's the use of chasing seals?

Lu Shangshu glanced at the palace gate, and saw the elated Minister of the Ministry of Industry, majestic and triumphant, he almost shouted the merits of Conglong.

When Zhao Mu bombarded the palace gate, the spies who were standing outside the gate of the Baiguan Mansion immediately showed up and asked for their help.

Most people are wise to protect themselves, and whoever wins will worship whom.

A very small number of officials gambled their families' lives and sent servants to support Zhao Mu, and now they have won the merit of Conglong.

Lu Shangshu wasn't envious either, this kind of life-gambling won't last long, if you win once, win twice, win three times, and lose once, it's all for naught.

Palace gate.

Qi Shilang from the Ministry of Industry stepped in, and the little eunuch repeated his old trick, and the dagger that had just dropped fell again.

Qi Shilang was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and screamed loudly.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged, I am wronged..."

The old eunuch snorted coldly, as if scolding the young eunuch for not being able to do things.

The waiter in the body search had sharp eyes and hands, clicked on Qi Shilang's dumb point, dragged him to the corner and beat him to death, which was much more miserable than Cui Shilang's death.

Lu Shangshu was surprised: "Master Qi is also from the Queen Mother's family?"

"maybe."

He Shangshu said quietly: "Lord Qi is indeed close to Cui Shilang and others, but he is not in collusion. However, he once wrote a letter to impeach the governor of Dongchang!"

Lu Shangshu was silent for a while, then asked suddenly.

"Which one is better, the foreign relatives or the internal servants have exclusive power?"

"It's better than the bad world, what's good or bad?"

After He Shangshu glanced behind him, Zeng Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment walked over with a smile, and immediately stepped up to separate from Lu Shangshu, so as not to spread any words.

After the officials entered the palace, the gate was tightly closed.

Those officials who did not come either hanged themselves at home or fled the capital overnight.

The servants led all the officials into the Hall of Qinzheng, looked up and saw Zhao Mu sitting on the dragon chair, he didn't show any surprise, and all bowed down in unison, shouting "Long live".

Everything seems to have been rehearsed, no different from bowing to Emperor Longqing years ago.

Zhao Mu glanced at the hundreds of officials in the palace, and there were about 20% less. Sure enough, as Tang Mingyuan said, the officials would not sincerely support the Queen Mother's family.

In the same way, I will not really support myself.

Whoever sits on the dragon chair, whoever gives power to the officials, they will support whoever!

"Sure enough, the eunuch is still loyal. If you give power and wealth to a slave, I can take it back with a word, but if you give it to an outsider, you can't take it back."

A cold look flashed across Zhao Mu's eyes, and he waved his hand with a gentle expression on his face.

"Everyone loves you in peace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All the officials got up, stood according to their positions, bowed their heads and waited quietly for Zhao Mu to speak.

At such a time, you must not stand out, lest you say something wrong and become the chicken for the new king to kill chickens and monkeys.

Zhao Mu looked at the head of the officials, and said with a smile: "When the emperor was in power, he often praised Yang Aiqing for his literary talents. He is the leader of the literary world in the country. How about Yang Aiqing giving me a year name?"

There is no such thing in the history books, Yang Si, the only one in the country, the chief assistant of the three dynasties, stepped out after hearing the words, and said after thinking for a while.

"Your Majesty's ascension to the throne is based on the mandate of heaven and the will of the people. The reign name can be designated as Tianshun."

"Very good."

Emperor Tianshun clapped his hands and praised: "Yang Aiqing is really loyal to the court. I should follow the example of my father and rely on it as my arm."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will do my best."

Yang Si thanked him with tears of gratitude, but he made up his mind in his heart that he would only be the mouthpiece of Emperor Tianshun, otherwise there would be a catastrophe.

Yang Si became the mouthpiece of the orthodox emperor's clothes and food.

Emperor Longqing had no power, and Yang Si became the Empress Dowager's voice in order to survive.

Now that he is the new ruler again, Yang Si has completely become an old man of paper. Even if the world despises and abuses him, the old man of the three dynasties will definitely be famous in history books.

At this time.

Zhou Yi hurriedly entered the hall, slid and knelt all the way to the jade steps, and reported.

"Your Majesty, King Pingxi absconded in fear of crime, and only a few dozen members of the Pangzhi tribe were caught. The slaves have already summoned the Supervision Department to spy and search for traces of the Feng family."

"Zhou Aiqing has worked hard, get back down quickly."

Emperor Tianshun said: "The matter of tracking down the rebels is fully entrusted to Zhou Aiqing. Anyone related to it can be arrested first and then interrogated."

"After confirming that it is true, the three tribes of Yi will sacrifice the spirit of the father and emperor in heaven!"

The scandal of Emperor Longqing killing his father with his son, Emperor Tianshun has already issued a seal order. Those who heard it at that time dared to discuss and spread it, and they were guilty of the same crime as the traitor.

As for what Emperor Longqing said before his death, it is strictly forbidden to spread it outside, and not a single word will be recorded in the history books.

Even if someone writes it in private, it will only be regarded as a wildly fabricated history.

"Slaves obey orders!"

How could Zhou Yi fail to understand what Emperor Tianshun meant. The so-called pursuit of traitors is false, and the supervision of officials is true. Anyone who has opinions on His Majesty is a traitor.

With this support, it is hard for Dongchang not to prosper!

...

at the same time.

The nameless barren hills outside the capital.

King Pingxi climbed up and looked into the distance, half of the capital came into view, his face was full of reluctance and sorrow.

"It's better to be more than a year late!"

King Pingxi obtained the Beijing camp from Emperor Zhengtong, and under his command hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers were stationed near the capital, and they could break through the imperial city with one order.

However, Pingwang has only taken over for half a year, and the Beijing camp is not yet Feng's army.

"Father, don't delay any longer."

Feng Ze said: "The people from the Pangzhi people scattered outside will not be able to delay the Supervision Department for long, and they need to go to the three prefectures in northern Xinjiang as soon as possible."

King Pingxi burst into tears when he thought of his brothers from the same clan who died tragically at the hands of the supervisory department.

"Why this?"

"Father, everything is forced by the situation."

Feng Ze comforted: "The Feng family didn't rebel before, and because of the orthodox emperor's cold temper, it didn't end well in the end. Going to the northern border this time and joining the King of Zhenbei, maybe we can win real military power!"

Of course King Pingxi knew the truth, so he didn't stop Feng Ze from acting, and sighed: "I never thought that rumor would become a prophecy."

Those who win Duke Zhou win the world!

"It's not about winning Zhou Dugong, but whoever wins the world, Zhou Dugong will be loyal to whom."

Feng Ze motioned to the guards, and brought over a black ball with a human head. The surface was forged with fine iron, and there was a small hole on the side, exposing half of the unburned fuse.

"Father, I bought this weapon called a cannonball from the imperial army at a high price."

"Relying on this thing, Zhao Mu easily blasted open the palace gate. It is really a killer weapon on the battlefield. Using this as a certificate of honor, he will change his position as a general from the King of Zhenbei, and he will fight back to the capital in the future!"
