From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

In the hall of Annan Marquis Mansion.

Han Tuo frowned, looking at the various intelligence information on the table, and was worried for a while.

The overall situation is good. Since the uprising began, the entire Lin'an Prefecture has been controlled overnight. Only Kuixingfang has not been attacked yet, but that group of people is just a turtle in a jar.

Looking at the Liangjiang area, Cheng Ping's more than 100,000 troops are divided into ten routes of elite soldiers to suppress the Liangjiang areas. The progress is very smooth, and the Liangjiang area has almost been completely taken.

Now we only need to make rules, set up temporary yamen, manage the territory under the jurisdiction, extort money, recruit new soldiers, and form more troops.

As for the livelihood issues, those are problems that can only be solved after the world is won, and there is no need to rush now.

It seems that everything is developing in a good direction, only his reputation has been unexpected.

Eating infant brains, keeping women as slaves, and being arrogant and licentious are just private morals. What if they are spread out?

But the key is that those bastards in Kuixingfang are too cruel. They came up with two vicious schemes, such as the land tax and the abolition of the imperial examination, which are simply terrifying.

Originally, there was still room for maneuver, as long as the Confucian scholars' right to speak was grasped, and their reputation could be cleared.

However, today, not only did they fail to clear their reputation, but they also confirmed the rumors of abolishing the imperial examination, and even added a bad reputation of besieging Confucian scholars.

"My Lord, don't worry."

The voice of the Dharma King of the Sun was very calm. He just sat quietly below and said slowly: "The so-called stigma is just a side door, and it will not be on the stage after all. More than 100,000 troops are the real power."

"Don't look at the people and Confucian scholars who are making a fuss now. When the Lord really gets going, they will change their tone, otherwise it will be against the will of heaven."

This sentence obviously comforted Han Tuo. He smiled slightly and sighed: "Mr. Kang is right, and it coincides with this Lord. As long as we stand firm in the two rivers, a few rumors are nothing. ?”

“But I am always worried about Kuixingfang. Although they are just small moves, they are always unexpected and make us embarrassed.”

“If this continues, God knows what tricks they will play.”

Da Ri Fa Wang said calmly: “Twenty thousand troops have arrived. After a day of rest, they will destroy Kuixingfang. Those people are just struggling to survive.”

Han Tuo said: “But Mr. Kang, judging from what happened during this period, there must be masters in Kuixingfang. Can’t they guess that we are about to take action?”

“I am worried. At this time, the other party has some tricks, even unexpected means. The matter is of great importance. I am still worried. "

Da Ri Fa Wang stood up and squinted his eyes and said: "I understand what the Marquis means. I will set out tonight and kill the leaders of Kuixingfang."

Han Tuo finally laughed and said with a fist: "Mr. Kang is really my confidant. I want to take action in advance tonight and behead those key figures. I will feel more at ease when I attack Kuixingfang tomorrow."

"In fact, I have received the news that those key figures are currently discussing matters at the Cui family. . "

"The Xu family is in trouble, and the blame is on me. Those people are joining forces with the noble families to resist me."

Da Ri Fa Wang took a deep breath and said, "Well, since it's in Yuhang, I'll set out now to deal with it."

Han Tuo hurriedly said, "Sir, do you need to bring troops? The noble families also have house guards. Sir, you are not strong enough alone. You might as well take a thousand elite soldiers."

Da Ri Fa Wang said, "No, they will only slow me down and expose my actions."

After speaking, he floated away and disappeared in the hall.

Han Tuo breathed a sigh of relief. He knew the other party's strength. It was too easy to kill those people.

...

Speaking of Zhou Yuan, he showed a strong enough attitude in the face of the noble families, just because he knew the nature of these noble families too well.

In the final analysis, many years of inheritance and several dynasties' suppression have made this group of people lose their integrity. Now they are only speculating and changing their ways.

If you are gentle, they will take advantage of you. If you are strong, they will not dare to refuse.

"Is it too much?"

Qu Ling was a little worried, frowned and said: "These aristocratic families are flourishing, and their relationships are deeply rooted. If they are pushed too hard, they may really dare to give up."

Zhuang Xuansu said coldly: "Then I hope they know your majesty well enough. Once your majesty has the intention to kill, no matter what their relationship is, he will directly exterminate the clan."

Qu Ling smiled bitterly and said: "Aristocratic families always have a fluke mentality."

Zhou Yuan said: "Don't worry, the essence of this matter is to strike Han Tuo in the common interests of both the court and the aristocratic families. After all, once Han Tuo stands firm in Liangjiang, he will take action against the aristocratic families."

"Fighting isIf they need money, Han Tuo can only get it from the noble families to raise military expenses. The common people can't afford it. "

"So the noble families will eventually choose the court. At least the court has kept them safe for four hundred years, and many important officials have emerged from the major families. To establish a new court, do they have to train new people? It's too troublesome and it will hurt their bones."

Qu Ling couldn't help laughing and said, "You have calculated them so much. No wonder you came with me to visit the Cui family. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to be tough."

Zhou Yuan sighed, "As long as we recognize the situation, all problems will be solved. It depends on what happens tomorrow night."

As soon as the voice fell, a calm voice came from the darkness of the street ahead: "Maybe you won't see tomorrow night. "

Along with the voice, a middle-aged scholar in white walked out slowly, holding a white fan, and came to the crowd in a few steps.

Zhuang Xuansu's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "You go first, I will hold him back."

Zhou Yuan frowned and said: "Da Ri Fa Wang?"

The middle-aged scholar said indifferently: "I thought it was some great figure sitting in Kuixingfang, so he used so many brilliant means, but I didn't expect it was just a young boy. "

"But it doesn't matter. It's a bad thing to keep you. I'll chop off your head tonight, and let you know that conspiracy and tricks can't change anything in the face of powerful strength. "

Zhou Yuan was somewhat panicked. He did not expect Han Tuo to let the Great Sun Dharma King go on a mission. You know, everyone is staring at him now, wishing him dead. Without such a master's protection, Han Tuo is in great danger.

It seems that the other party has also given up and dared not to treat Kuixingfang lightly.

"Will your situation improve if you kill me?"

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Han Tuo may not be a wise leader. Even if he wins the world, what can the Wusheng Sect gain?"

The middle-aged scholar looked calm and said slowly, "I have studied for many years, traveled all over the world, and experienced ups and downs. Do you think your mouth is useful to me?"

Zhou Yuan said, "You have put in so much effort, and you finally have today's fortune. There must be a purpose, right? Perhaps choosing the court, or choosing me, can get closer to your goal. "

The middle-aged scholar shook his head and said, "The trick of bewitching people's hearts doesn't work with me. "

As he spoke, his internal strength surged out, so much so that the stone slabs under his feet shattered directly.

Such a terrible power is really unheard of.
