Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 697: The new dynasty is almost paralyzed

Chapter 697: The New Dynasty is Almost Paralyzed

In the winter afternoon, there is still no sunshine.

The falling snow has become smaller, like millet grains, and it hurts slightly when it hits the face.

There are people plowing snow on the streets elsewhere in Beijing, but there is no need for this street in Zhenmosi.

In the past two days, the streets outside the Zhenmo Division should have been cleared even if there was no way.

On the first night alone, more than 1,300 people were imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Prison, and this was only a small part. More are spread throughout the prisons of Dali Temple in Jingzhao Prefecture, with tens of thousands of people imprisoned in various types.

Well, Jingzhao Mansion and Dali Temple are now headless. Because the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture and the Minister of Dali Temple were imprisoned themselves.

This time the rebellion in the capital was extremely involved, and almost one-third of the officials in the capital were related to the families involved. Which of them are directly involved in this matter, which ones are not aware of it, and which ones are just doing things on the sidelines will require a longer interrogation.

This shows the troubles in family politics. When all the major families in Beijing are involved in this matter, it means that most officials are involved, and for a while, no one is useful.

Up to now, the morning court is half empty. The remaining officials are panicking about this. The political situation in the capital is almost paralyzed, and the mess is worse than the situation when Xia Longyuan just died. The fact that there are still more than half of the officials left is the result of Tang Wanzhuang's prior investigation and his efforts not to amplify the situation.

There are also some people who are not involved in the case, or because they are related to the Cuitang family, officials and followers of the Four Elephant Sect themselves, and some ordinary small families who are not qualified to be involved in major cases. If it weren't for the support of these people, it can be said that the early morning would be an empty nest...

It is so implicated that the local area is paralyzed. The current program of Tang Wanzhuang is that except for the various cities and towns along the way that let people in, other places have nothing to do with this matter. No matter whose disciple or former official you are, Don't ask any questions. Otherwise, if we really pursue the case, even the place will be shut down.

Even so, everyone is still in panic, and everyone is afraid of liquidation.

This is a true plot to treason and to lure the barbarians into the capital, and it is not unusual for the most extreme liquidation to be carried out.

Huangfu Qing and others did not have such an intuitive feeling. Only Tang Wanzhuang knew that this was actually the biggest political crisis in the new dynasty, a crisis that no one could help from top to bottom, from senior officials to middle-level and local governments.

Earlier Tang Wanzhuang once suggested that Xia Chichi should make good use of Lu Jianzhang and others to stabilize the government, and then use imperial examination and other means to slowly cultivate his own political team. This will be a long-term process.

When Zhao Changhe suggested to show the enemy weakness and catch a fish according to the changing situation, she did not object. If she couldn't catch a fish, it meant that Lu Jianzhang and the others could still be saved. If they did catch a fish, it meant that they couldn't be saved. It would be good if she could finish her work in one battle, but she would be much more tired.

Not to mention anything else, how can it be possible with the current manpower alone? The number of people involved in the case exceeds 10,000 casually. Not counting the subsequent involvement, how many people are there in the Demon Suppression Division? Of course, we have to borrow people from the Four Symbols Sect, otherwise the public security will not be stable.

Today's morning court, Tang Wanzhuang was allowed to leave the court early to work, so she went up to report the situation and then ran away. During this period, she heard His Majesty the Emperor talk about looking for sweet potatoes, and then wrote a letter to her nephew. , I worked until noon without even eating.

"Miss, please eat something first."

"Well, leave it there for now, I'll eat it later."

"You already said this half an hour ago. This noodle is all lumpy. I have cooked a bowl of it!" Baoqin stood aside with a bowl of boiled noodles in his hand, stamping his feet angrily. : "The tuberculosis has just happened not long ago, and I am going to have gastrointestinal problems again, right?"

Tang Wanzhuang smiled: "Okay, leave it for now and I'll eat it, ah."

Baoqin finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "I see? The magnesium faded and the gun room turned into a sickly one to seduce men!"

Tang Wanzhuang: "?"

The little maid was rolled up into a pile and thrown out of the door with a huff, still holding noodles in her hand.

Before the little maid landed, a majestic body appeared in front of her eyes, and she was lifted into the air with a big hand.

Sitting cross-legged with Qin in the air, she stared at him angrily.

Zhao Changhe thought it was cute, so he rubbed her head, put her on the ground, reached for the noodles: "I'll do it, you go and rest."

Bao Qin said angrily: "She is more tired than before after following your Po Xin Dynasty. It's a good thing you came last night, right? You just worry about the filth and chaos in the palace... uh uh uh..."

Zhao Changhe covered her mouth and looked around, sweating profusely.

The officers of the Demonic Control Department on the side lowered their heads and hurried past pretending not to hear.

Zhao Changhe regretted lifting her down, he should have let her fly all the way to the stars and the sea. It seems that Suzaku's approach to Baoqin is the most correct. First, he will silence the main C, and the others will be vulnerable.

At this moment, Baoqin realized that there were many people around him, and he curled his lips and did not dare to say anything more. Zhao Changhe did not have the shame to continue talking nonsense, and walked straight into the main hall of the Demon Suppressing Division with a hot face.

Tang Wanzhuang raised her head from the document and looked at him with a half-smile. Apparently she heard the commotion outside.

Zhao Changhe stiffened his old face, forced a gentle demeanor, and put his face in front of her: "It's okay to throw away Baoqin, how can we lose the face too... Now everyone is short of food."

Look at what these words were saying, Tang Wanzhuang was immediately amused: "If Baoqin hears this, I will come in and bite you to death."

Zhao Changhe sighed: "I didn't expect that you would be even busier after the new dynasty."

Tang Wanzhuang said: "There weren't as many things in the past as there are now... It's just that there were too few people who could work well together. It was tiring and helpless to do it alone. I could only stare at many things. Now Your Majesty It is also very attentive, but it makes people more motivated and motivated... In fact, there are many things in the short term. If you can get through it, you will be much more comfortable in the future. ”

Zhao Changhe asked: "Is there anything you can do for me?"

"If the sweet potato you proposed to His Majesty is really useful, it would be a big deal... and your proposal for the Three Jin Dynasty is indeed a good idea to save troops and food, although I am not sure whether that woman can do it So doubtful..."

"...Do you even doubt Suzaku's tricks?"

"It should be said that under my suppression, the Four Symbols Sect has not accomplished much on the surface in recent years, and can only develop underground... Especially the so-called Suzaku Venerable, he has not accomplished much. . Occasionally, one or two things happen, just because you are the person involved, and the memory is just beautified.”

Zhao Changhe suddenly wanted to laugh when he heard this, these two women are so interesting...

He didn’t say anything more. He picked out a handful of noodles with his chopsticks, blew on them, and handed them to Tang Wanzhuang’s mouth: “Ah~”

Tang Wanzhuang quickly glanced outside the door. The hall, which was originally crowded with people, was now as quiet as a haunted house, and everyone had disappeared in a knowing manner.

In fact, this scene of people running away is very embarrassing, and I don’t know how much everyone is thinking about it... Tang Wanzhuang’s face turned red, but she quickly put her head down and put the noodles on her chopsticks. "Zi Liu" **** it away.

My husband fed me noodles...

Zhao Changhe didn't say anything more, just fed her one bite at a time. Tang Wanzhuang couldn't stand on her own anymore, so she just let him feed her slowly, finishing the noodles in small bites.

Baoqin quietly poked his head out, feeling that the noodles he cooked had an extremely rancid smell for no reason. We didn’t add stinky tofu either...

Anyway, just eat it honestly. It seems that the young lady has not grown up and needs to be fed. I will try to feed Qin next time.

After finally finishing feeding the noodles, and eating a stick of incense which normally only took a moment, Tang Wanzhuang leaned in the man's arms with contentment and whispered: "It's so good."

Baoqin feels that the young lady is hopeless. This man has made a mess in the palace as soon as he comes back. He came to see you in the afternoon. He only fed you a few mouthfuls of noodles and said, "It's so good." I still didn't see the noodles cooked by me. Say hello.

What a stupid woman, she is also known as the leader of wisdom.

"Bang!" Tang Wanzhuang suddenly waved his hand, and the door closed without any wind. Baoqin hit his head on the door and squatted down with his head in tears.

Zhao Changhe laughed: "Bullying Baoqin again."

"Why, you feel bad because you didn't eat it?"

"...No matter what, I only feel sorry for you."

Baoqin feels that life is gloomy.

Tang Wanzhuang was also smiling: "You...I can't believe what you say now. Tell me, why are you here with me?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Can't I just come to accompany you?"

"So I really can't believe what you say now." Tang Wanzhuang said leisurely: "You have no time or thought to find anyone just for romance, whether it is me or Your Majesty and the Queen Mother."

Zhao Changhe was silent.

Tang Wanzhuang said: "But this is a good thing. I don't want you to come back just to ask me when the promise I made before leaving Beijing will be fulfilled."

Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment, and his expression became strange.

He had forgotten what Tang Wanzhuang had promised before leaving Beijing last time. After being told this, he remembered that Tang Wanzhuang said that as long as she came back safely, she would fight Huangfu Qing on the bed for him to see. ...How could I forget this!

What's even more tragic is that given the current situation and Tang Wanzhuang's praise of "this is a good thing", I am already embarrassed to ask her to fulfill this...

Seeing the regretful expression on Zhao Changhe's face, Tang Wanzhuang laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, I will have your chance in the future. I don't have time to deal with that now, there are a lot of things." , if you want to help, I really have something for you to do."

Zhao Changhe knocked down his teeth and swallowed blood: "Tell me, who should I kill?"

"It's because too many people have been cut off. Under the politics of the Millennium Family, the talent pool outside of them is too small. Previously, it was said that scientific examinations were needed, but there was no time to implement them... and even if the scientific examinations were implemented, a person would still be needed. The training process." Tang Wanzhuang said seriously: "We can't handle so many people. Some of them must be reactivated. This good person will be done by you."
