The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 943 Loyalty Day 3
The sun was setting to the west, and under the strong pressure of the Yong army, the situation in the capital was under control.

In order to prevent people from making disturbances, a curfew system was implemented in the city, and ordinary people were not allowed to go to the streets.

Only the surrendered officials from various ministries and institutes can enter and leave the government offices with documents to deal with the backlog of affairs, and arrange the ceremony of entering the city tomorrow with the officials sent by Zhao Yanxun.

Everything was very complicated, and the officials were not able to leave the official office until nightfall.

"Brother Hu, Brother Chen asked me to send you a message, and discuss matters at his home later!"

"What's the matter?" Hu Youping asked.

The person who sent the message replied: "You will know when you go. There are so many people in this place that it is inconvenient to say it. Anyway, it is a great thing!"

After a short thought, Hu Youping replied: "Okay!"

"Go now, I'll notify the others!"

Saying goodbye to the person who sent the message, Hu Youde, who was planning to go home, walked slowly to Chen's house.

At this moment, the city was under martial law, and Hu Youde was interrogated many times along the way, but fortunately he had documents to pass.

When he came to the Chen Mansion, there were more than [-] people gathered inside, some he knew and some he didn't know.

Thinking about Chen Ji'an's plan, Hu Youde chatted with his colleagues, intending to ask for some useful information.

As a result, these people didn't know anything, and everyone could only wait for Chen Ji'an to arrive.

After waiting for about half an hour, Chen Ji'an brought the two officials and slowly appeared in front of the crowd.

"I've kept you waiting for a long time!" Chen Ji'an clasped his fists and said.

Everyone responded flatly, waiting for him to explain the situation.

Chen Ji'an didn't waste time, and came to the superior and said seriously: "Everyone, you and I are both young talents. In terms of knowledge and ability, they are not inferior to those in the dynasty, but they have never been reused!"

The dozens of people invited by Chen Ji'an were all unsatisfactory in the officialdom, and they were generally in marginal positions.

Among them, Chen Ji'an is the most tragic reminder, but the dignified number one scholar and the emperor are copied in the Imperial Academy, which is no different from the most ordinary subordinate officials.

"Now that the world has changed, this is the opportunity for you and me to rise to the top!"

"Master Chen, what exactly do you want us to do and how to do it... You should explain it to everyone here first!"

Hearing that Chen Ji'an made so many preparations, Hu Youde asked the aspirations of everyone present.

Signaling everyone to stop discussing, Chen Ji'an immediately asked: "Everyone, what do you think His Highness King Yong needs most right now?"

What do you need most?This question was very tricky, and everyone frowned and thought about it.

If he can provide King Yong's needs, his success in the future is really nothing.

As the initiator of this event, Chen Ji'an certainly would not give time for everyone to think, otherwise how would he lead these people.

"Everyone, what King Yong lacks is righteousness, but he needs the support of public opinion..."

"If you and I are the tongues of King Yong, and it is destiny to preach that King Yong is safe, are you afraid that we will not be able to reuse them in the future?"

Everyone thought about it, and it really was such a thing, but they had a little concern in their hearts.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell what happened to King Yong's rise of troops. If they waved their flags and shouted for King Yong, they would probably be stabbed in the back by others.

Only those who have no bottom line of shame will not care about it.

However, Hu Youde still has a little bit of integrity, so he only heard him say: "Master Chen, I have something to do at home, so I will take my leave first!"

Hu Youde's departure may cause others to follow suit, which Chen Ji'an cannot tolerate.

He pulled up so many people just to carry the sedan chair for himself, so that King Yong could see his ability.

If this person is gone, how can he prove his ability?
"Brother Hu, could it be that you don't want to serve His Royal Highness King Yong? Are you still thinking about the false emperor of the previous dynasty?"

Hearing this, Hu Youde stopped and felt chills all over his body.

If this charge is confirmed, the whole family will die.

While scolding Chen Ji'an in his heart, Hu Youde quickly turned around, with a smile on his face and said: "Brother Chen, how dare I have such a rebellious heart, from now on, Hu will only look after Brother Chen!"

After hitting Hu Youde, other people who wanted to leave could only stay and listen to Chen Ji'an's next arrangement.

"Everyone, King Yong will enter the city tomorrow, the first thing you and I have to do is... persuade him to enter!"

Chen Ji'an's words once again aroused everyone's discussion, which is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

When Chen Ji'an did everything he could to seek the upper echelon, Wei Zhenzhang, who was still unyielding after being tortured many times, was sent to the prison cell at this moment.

The cell was huge, and there were dozens of people staying in it. All of them had blood stains on their bodies, and they had obviously experienced inhuman torture.

These people were sitting upside down, and if someone was crying, Wei Zhenzhang had tears in his eyes.

He basically knew the people in the cell, they were all court officials, and they were loyal ministers loyal to the emperor.

At this moment, someone asked, "Wei Zhenzhang? Is that you?"

Wei Zhenzhang followed the voice, only to find that the speaker was Wang Cunzhang, so he hurried to meet him.

Beside Wang Cunzhang is Huang Zhicheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who is also the emperor Zhao Weilong's teacher.

"Meet the two adults!"

After beckoning Wei Zhenzhang to squat down, Wang Cunzhang asked softly, "Where is the emperor?"

Looking around, Wei Zhenzhang replied in a low voice: "The emperor has left the city!"

Hearing this, Wang Cunzhang and the two were relieved, and even smiled on their faces.

"That's good, that's good..." Huang Zhicheng said with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, the two asked in detail about the details of leaving the city, and Wei Zhenzhang answered them one by one.

Time passed one after another, and some people died of serious injuries, making the atmosphere in the cell very dull.

Although it was late at night, except for those who had passed out, everyone else was looking at the roof with their eyes open.

"I'm afraid it's past the ugly time!"

Someone broke the silence, and then someone asked, "What's the matter? Are you going to get up and prepare to go to court?"

This joke is not very funny, everyone in the cell is still silent, only the sound of "peeling" from the burning torch can be heard endlessly.

Who knew that the man who spoke first replied: "I'm counting, how many hours can we live!"

Looking around, Huang Zhicheng laughed and said, "Everyone, for the National Day of Death, why should you die when you deserve it?"

In fact, it is very easy for these people present to live, all they need to do is shout out.

But they would rather die than surrender, and would never surrender to rebellious officials and thieves.

The night was long and short, and when the new day came, they were all taken out of their cells.

After being escorted into the prison van, Wei Zhenzhang and his party were pulled out of the official office, and then sent to the direction of the palace.

The prison van stopped at the east palace gate, all the officials were pulled down, and a thousand households appeared in front of them.

"Everyone, the lord will summon the ministers at the Huangji Gate in a while, and that is your last chance to survive!"

"As long as you surrender to the lord, you will be freed from crime, and you can go home and reunite with your wives and children!"

No one responded to Qian Hu's words, and some even cursed a few times, and then this person was hacked to death.

"See, this is the end of talking nonsense!" Qianhu's tone was cold.

But these people present are not afraid of death, Qianhu's words have no deterrent effect.

Wang Cunzhang and others also wanted to yell, but they held back in the end.

It's not that they are afraid, but that the timing is not right now.

They planned to scold the rebels in front of all civil and military officials when King Yong summoned the officials.

As time passed, when there was a mountain call outside, Wang Cunzhang and others knew that the time was coming.

"Master Huang, see you in the next life!" Wang Cunzhang bowed his hands to Huang Zhicheng.

Huang Zhicheng replied: "In the next life, I won't be an official anymore, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other again!"

Wei Zhenzhang took over the words and said: "Writing and reading, and working hard, that's what I want!"

The two of them figured it out, they will be loyal to the imperial court in this life, and they will live for themselves in the next life.
