The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 911
(Where is my confidant?)
In the northwestern land, after entering October, the temperature dropped further.

Perhaps in another half a month, it will be snowing from the sky. Generally speaking, this time is not suitable for fighting.

But that's just generally speaking. After all, for the barbarians in the far west, if they don't drive south, they will definitely die.

Since you must die, why not fight for yourself?

So as time goes by, the density of zombies in Tianshan County is getting lower and lower, which also means that the war will happen soon.

Because of this, both the guards of the Forbidden Army and the guards under the Northwest Governor's Office are all in a state of active combat readiness.

This also caused all civil and military officials to be very busy, because there were too many things to arrange and implement.

But today, the senior officials of the Northwest Governor's Office gathered together at this moment, all standing in the courtyard outside the lobby.

Even if they gather like this, everyone is still discussing business matters, and it is really difficult for them to get leisure.

Of course, there are exceptions among these people. They are discussing what they are talking about today.

"The guardian eunuch Zhang Xing is here, is there something important going on?"

Some people couldn't help complaining: "Every day is a big thing, what bigger thing can I do?"

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes sounded outside the governor's office, and after a while there was a commotion outside.

Everyone looked outside, but unfortunately they couldn't see anything because of the shadow wall.

But when people from outside approached and heard their conversations, the officials of the Governor's Office finally knew who it was.

"If you want me to say, don't give them face for a while, damn... I really think we are easy to bully!"

"Zhang Xing is not a thing, but he wants to announce the decree here, why can't he go to our place?"

Seeing that everyone was talking too much, as the chief general Xu Hong couldn't help but said: "The more you talk, the more unruly you are. Zhang Xing is an imperial envoy, so you can talk nonsense?"

This sentence worked, and everyone knew that they had made a slip of the tongue, so they didn't say anything after that.

But their conversation made the officials inside grasp the key point.

It turns out that people are called together today to convey the imperial decree, so why did the imperial decree come?
All the people present were smart people, and after thinking about it for a while, they roughly guessed what would happen.

A few days ago, the two factions impeached each other. This is a great event, and the court should have said something about it long ago.

The imperial decree came only now, which seemed a little late.

All the officials were thinking about this, the generals of the Forbidden Army had already entered the inner court, and the two parties disliked each other at the moment.

Fortunately, they are all rational and know that there has been a lot of trouble a few days ago, so no one is picking each other up now.

It was precisely because they didn't like each other that the courtyard became quiet and the atmosphere became more dignified.

Knowing that everyone had arrived, Luo Lun, who was talking to Zhang Xing in the inner hall, walked out together with him.

During the conversation just now, Luo Lun learned about the latest situation in the capital, the most important of which was the matter of Yu Jia's personal conquest.

The emperor wants to personally conquer, and then contacted the imperial decree received today, Luo Lun can imagine how disappointed the emperor is with the situation in the northwest.

He and Zhang Xing came outside the hall, looking at the silent crowd, Luo Lun didn't say a word.

I saw him walking down the steps alone, while Zhang Xing stayed on it alone.

Zhang Xing took out a bright yellow booklet in his hand, and said with a dignified expression, "Shangyu!"

Although it was not a serious imperial decree, the mere word "Shangyu" already made everyone's hearts tremble, and they quickly knelt on the ground.

"A few days ago, you attacked each other, which opened my eyes, and also made me lose face in front of all the officials..."

Good guy, the first sentence of this edict made everyone present tremble and feel uneasy.

The king worries about the humiliation of the ministers, the emperor humiliates the ministers to death... They made the emperor lose face, which is a proper death penalty.

In fact, after attacking each other that day, both Luo Lun, Xu Hong and the others regretted it very much.

Facing the emperor's accusation, everyone present grabbed the ground with their heads, and they no longer dared to raise their heads.

"The situation in the northwest is related to the safety of the world. It is my humerus that you have a strategic plan. Therefore, I appointed you to work in the northwest. Is this how you thank the emperor?"

The second sentence, the meaning of accusation has become stronger, and the hearts of everyone present are full of fear.

No matter how great the credit, no matter how deep the strategy is, no matter how high or low the position is, their current mood is the same.

Facing a powerful emperor like Zhao Yanxun, their identities are actually the same, they are all humble courtiers.

"You are such a bastard, you are deeply indebted to me, and you should be severely punished..."

Seeing that everyone was terrified, Zhang Xing changed his tone and continued: "Now the imperial court is in the midst of employing people. Considering the past affection, I can give you a chance to pay off your merits!"

"If you and the others can no longer cooperate sincerely, and punish them together for previous crimes and past mistakes, then I will not tolerate it!"

"Kin this!"

Good guy, I finally finished reading the oracle here.

Including Luo Lun, everyone was terrified just now. It was really the result of Zhao Yanxun's extremely severe punishment of subordinate officials after he came to power.

Although they raised it high and put it down lightly, at this moment, everyone still dared to be indifferent.

At this moment, they only have one idea, and that is, as mentioned in the above edict, to unite and run the emperor's mission well.

"Everyone, get up!" Zhang Xing said with a smile.

Before opening the edict, he didn't know its contents. When he read the first part, even he thought that the people present were finished.

Everyone stood up slowly, feeling like they were alive after a catastrophe, Xu Hong and the others showed no signs of arrogance or rebellion.

Immediately afterwards Zhang Xing said: "If you are not the emperor's confidantes, I am afraid that this scolding will not be the case...The emperor loves you, you should be more considerate!"

Hearing this, everyone thought it was true, if it was someone else, they might really lose their heads.

"You have to do things well, and when the emperor comes in a few days, you'll be able to do business, right?"

Hearing Zhang Xing's last sentence, everyone muttered in their hearts, what does it mean that the emperor will come after a while.

"Eunuch Zhang, is the emperor going to the northwest?" Xu Hong couldn't help asking.

Logically speaking, this matter has not been officially announced, so Zhang Xing shouldn't talk about it.

But he took the initiative to mention it, and he was also instructed by Zhao Yanxun, with the purpose of making these people in the yard more honest.

"That's right, the emperor wants to personally conquer!"

Upon hearing this, the mentality of several commanders of the Forbidden Army suddenly changed, and they only had the word "meritorious service" in their hearts.

The emperor came to the front in person, and it was time for them to show.

After handing over the edict to Luo Lun, Zhang Xing told everyone again.

Just when he was about to leave, he heard Xu Hong say: "Lord Luo, my lords...we are all a bunch of rough people, we have offended you before, please forgive me!"

The imperial edict warned them to fight among themselves, and now that Xu Hong took the initiative to admit his mistake, how could Luo Lun and others stand still.

"We also have negligence and negligence, and please forgive me, generals!"

The two sides apologized to each other. This scene made Zhang Xing very satisfied. He will truthfully report what he saw and heard today.

After Zhang Xing left, Xu Hong and the others also left. After all, there were still many things waiting for them in the army.

And Luo Lun and others sent Xu Hong and others out of the gate for the first time, which can be said to have given the ultimate courtesy.

After Xu Hong and the others dispersed, the governor's office returned to calm.

Everyone started to do things according to their duties, but the admonishment from the edict always echoed in their minds.
