With the collapse of the wall of Wubao, the siege has been completed - most of the elite servants of the Wang family are stationed on the wall, and all of them have been reimbursed after the foundation stone collapsed, and the remaining troops were also shaken by the explosives. The same screaming and screaming all over the ground, no longer able to restrain the command.Dozens of soldiers entered and acted as a deterrent, and immediately controlled the situation.

Mu Chen got off the horse and carefully comforted the restless horse who was startled by the explosives.He didn't look up until the steed calmed down a bit, and his eyes swept over the surging crowd in front of him.Seeing the gray-black torrent pouring into the Wubao, Mu Chen couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional: If the imperial power and the aristocratic family conflict, they can still make some concessions to each other; now they organize civilians to rush into the Wubao, it is tantamount to fighting with the capital—— As a result, the gentry landlords all over the world have completely torn their skins, and there is no room for change.

However, since the face has been torn apart, it is natural to act first.Mu Chen pondered for a while, stretched out his hand and called the Prince of Fuling, who was also disheveled and pale, and asked him to bring the stunned housekeeper back to the city quickly, and ordered all the officials in Jiankang City to come out and listen to the training. if not--

"This time the whole team set out and worked so hard to attract so many people to watch. To be honest, it's not easy." Mu Chen said: "So, if you adults insist on being stubborn today, I will not bother the two masters and take care of it. Alright. It’s here anyway.”

King Fuling shuddered, and finally bent down to obey.

This time the pull was much faster.Although the officials in Beijing stayed behind closed doors, they all sent servants to inquire about the news in private.After the wall collapsed, the scene became a mess, and many spies took the opportunity to enter the city to report information.Of course, the servant was in a trance under the panic, and all the rewards were crazy words like "heaven collapsed", "the sound was like thunder", "corrupted for a hundred miles", which sounded like fantasy plots, and the dignitaries naturally sneered.But after careful consideration, the officials in Beijing still reached a consensus:

——Wang Yan Wang Shizhong is probably already planted.

The imperial guards in Jiankang City were all powerful. If the emperor made up his mind to disregard the stability of the situation, it would not be difficult to deal with several high-ranking officials from aristocratic families.But the victory and defeat were so quick that the ministers were still extremely horrified.When King Fuling brought the housekeeper of the palace to the door to urge him personally, the horror became more and more uncontrollable—even the confidant butler was captured alive. It seems that the Wang family's loss this time is really ugly.

Since the winner and loser are so clear, with the traditional performing arts of hedging his bets by the sons and daughters of a prominent family, of course he will not jump out at this juncture to oppose the powerful and powerful usurper.So the King of Fuling only called out for a while, and the six departments of the capital province and even the censor obediently opened the door, came out in clean clothes to meet the imperial edict, and followed the King of Fuling out of the city in a bullock cart.

Although celebrities from aristocratic families are domineering, they also know how to bow their heads under the eaves.These high-ranking officials were swaying in the bullock cart, but their hearts gradually became more thoughtful.They repeatedly speculated that they had underestimated the abilities of the usurpers—they originally thought that the Fuling King and his party would just take advantage of the situation and stole the throne by chance, and their foundation in Jiankang City was not stable. Taking the opportunity to threaten to expand his power; but judging from the current situation, the other party may really have extremely strong force, strong enough to suppress all objections in the capital...

In this case, the previous plan must be completely changed - a direct confrontation with force is purely brainwashed, and for the current plan, we can only have a little patience and plan it slowly.

—Of course, there is nothing wrong with being patient.The North and the South have stood for hundreds of years, and Jinling's throne has come and gone. It is not that there has never been an emperor who held a heavy army to kill and make decisions, but so what if the force is strong?Even if he was as old as Jin Suzong and as invincible as Emperor Wu of Song, he could only revive the imperial power a little bit and suppress the gentry for the time being.As long as the imperial power changes, everything will return to the old system.

Therefore, the dignitaries who were coerced by Fuling King's Record maintained a considerable demeanor, and when they got out of the car, their expressions remained unchanged and their demeanor was calm.Some of the most influential people in the city even held Ruyi in their hands and smiled, asking the rebellious ministers who usurped the throne to have a look at the demeanor of famous people.

However, just looking up after getting off the car, the smiles of the celebrities froze on their faces.The place where they parked their car was in front of Wangjiawu Fort. Originally, Wang Yan had traveled all over the suburbs and carefully selected this treasured place with beautiful mountains and rivers, so that he could hang around and relax in his spare time.But now there is nothing left of the beautiful mountains and rivers, only mud and rubble rolling around, and seven or eight huge iron pots beside the mound—let alone thousands of poor people gathered around the steaming iron pot, stretching their necks and waiting Divide porridge!

Before deciding to tidy up Jiankang City, the advisory team gave Mu Chen a clear suggestion: Judging from historical facts, the people of the Middle Ages were in an extremely backward and ignorant state. If you want to organize them into a powerful force, you must not Relying solely on illusory preaching.To win the trust of the people, every promise must be fulfilled, and the sooner the better!

For this reason, after Wangjiawu Fort was broken, Mu Chen ordered a big pot to be set up to cook porridge on the spot, distributed a bowl to each person on the spot, and went to the Wangjia granary to collect a bag of grain after drinking.Such promises and promises will naturally lead to thunderous cheers in front of Wubao, shouting long live.Countless people surrounded the cauldron and divided the porridge equally, and everyone was very happy.

But the ministers raised their eyes and glanced, and their faces changed immediately—after the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a gap between scholars and commoners, and the difference between filthy and filthy was like a cloud, not to mention that it was difficult for officials from poor families to be elegant, even relatives and noble relatives from a slightly humble background , will be despised and contemptuous by the nobles and nobles, and regarded as dirty water.What's more, this group of common people in the head of Guizhou who are determined not to be on the stage?If it is common to see such rioters offending nobles, all of them will be beaten to death on the spot!

But today I don't know what's wrong, seeing the faces of the dignitaries in front of the bullock cart turn pale, and the poor people squatting and drinking porridge looked cowering, but they didn't get up and run away.Some of the brave ones raised their heads quietly, looking at the bright clothes of the ministers.

Such an ignorant and arrogant offense seems to have violated the bottom line of dignity that cannot be challenged by the gentry.So on the spot, some people's blood boiled with anger, and they almost wanted to imitate Zhou Boren and yell at this traitor who has no father, no king, and ignores the rules and regulations.However, before the words of righteous indignation were conceived, these loyal courtiers turned their heads and happened to catch a glimpse of the only ruins left on the Wubao wall.

... It seems that it is not unbearable to change from a gentleman to a leopard.

But the rebellious officials and thieves who usurped the throne would not consider the psychological feelings of loyal scholars.Seeing the ministers standing in order after getting off the car, the horse team in front of Wubao separated brightly, and a guard in full armor stepped out immediately.The guards stood in the open space and unfolded the edict to read out the imperial court's order.Compared with the previous imperial edict, which carefully searched for chapters and excerpted sentences, this time the traveling team gained a big advantage and completely ruined their face, so they simply stopped doing these bells and whistles.So the guard opened his mouth to read, and immediately gave you an opening lightning strike for all the educated masters.

"I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary emperor, but all I got in return was disobedience and ridicule." The guard was righteous, dignified and solemn, as if he had been professionally trained, and would never laugh at will: "Now I won't pretend—— That's right, I just want to confiscate all of you, and I've got a showdown!"

These few vulgar words did not make any sense, but on the spot, the senior officials were stunned and unable to react. Before they could ponder these violent remarks, the guard coughed and issued an order that was ten times and a hundred times more horrifying:

——All nobles and dignitaries in the city will be behind closed doors for investigation from now on.All hoarders who hoard and force good men to become slaves will have their property confiscated and confiscated; all slaves and servants in Jiankang City will be deregistered and restored to freedom; the imperial court will send people to measure the fields in the suburbs and preside over spring plowing...

This order is too shocking.The neatly lined up ministers fell on the spot like logs, so horrified that they couldn't even think.Only a few old and spicy nobles opened their eyes wide, and a consciousness gradually emerged in their blank minds:

The sky is falling!

·

"The sky is falling!"

Trembling, Yu Wenyong swept across the big hole in the center of the school field, with only one thought in mind.

——After King Zhou's confidant general turned his back on him, with the help of Yi Cheng's strange and inexplicable "monster method", several generals finally managed to hold the central army, and did not let the chaos spread rapidly and become uncontrollable.

But their efforts went so far.There were only a few thousand Chinese troops in King Zhou's camp, and under the double deterrence of tyrannical violence and generals' prestige, they could temporarily guarantee their obedience.However, more than [-] Southern Expedition troops are only [-] miles away from the camp, and there are tens of thousands of guards and county governors in Xuzhou City. How can these people deal with it?King Zhou died inexplicably, who can explain it, and who can be responsible?

Not to mention anything else, as long as a soldier sneaks out to report the changes in the Chinese army, the thousands of people present will die without a place to bury them!

Thinking of this, the leading general couldn't help shivering.

Of course, the cold war will return to the cold war, and these surviving generals will never have the courage to resist the "magic" of the envoys of the Southern Dynasties.They are not afraid of killing, but they don't have the courage to face the terrifying power of sorcery... When gathering the rebellious army before, hundreds of elite soldiers gathered in formations to resist the order, insisting that they wanted to kill the demons to avenge Zhou Wang.However, the envoys of the Southern Dynasties just waved their hands lightly, and another gorgeous rain of fire fell from the sky—after the flames and air waves, the school grounds were already covered with rubble and chapped everywhere, and there was another pit tens of meters wide in the center— —and the charred and withered remaining limbs by the side of the pit.

Several soldiers were affected by the air wave but did not die immediately. They lay on the ground crying and moaning, but their limbs were all charred.

Such a tragic killing is really too deterrent.It not only intimidated the rebels in an instant, but also erased once and for all the remaining resistance in the general's heart.Even though General Yuwen was already anxious, he didn't dare to show any strangeness in front of Yi Cheng, for fear that the envoys of the Southern Dynasty might misunderstand.

But Yi Cheng talked with him about the situation in the army for a while, but he reached out and grabbed Yu Wenyong's arm, with an extremely sincere tone:

"Now that the king of Zhou has died suddenly and the soldiers are in turmoil, it seems that people are panicking. After I leave, how will General Yuwen plan to explain to his superiors?"

Yu Wenyong's face turned pale, thinking that you are always so old that you can't open any pot and carry which pot.Of course, he was determined not to dare to complain, so he could only keep silent.

Yi Cheng smiled slightly, and his tone became more sincere:

"General Yuwen stepped forward just now and carried out His Highness King Hengyang's order. Since he carried out His Highness's order, he is our friend. We can't be considered great, but we will never treat any friend badly. Please let me go A thousand hearts."

Yu Wenyong's heart moved slightly, and he blurted out: "What is the explanation of the envoy's words?"

——Could it be to persuade him to flee to the South?But Yuwen's relatives and family friends are all in Luoyang, so how could he turn his back on him?Military disadvantage is only involving oneself, surrendering and treason is a serious crime!

Yi Cheng seemed to have seen through the other party's mind, and slowly smiled resolutely.

"Don't worry, general, I'm not here to recruit surrender or rebellion." He said softly, "Actually, the general and I both know that the actions you take today are not deliberate collusion with the enemy and betraying the country, but just being caught off guard by a thunderbolt. We should try our best to preserve our troops It's just to control the casualties... But even if the general repeatedly defends his involuntary thoughts, the dignitaries of the Northern Dynasties may not believe it. The root cause is that the nobles are superior and have nothing to do with themselves, and they don't know the situation the general is facing. ..."

These few words were so touching that Yu Wenyong couldn't help but nod his head - in the face of the demonic law of the Southern Dynasty, a desperate fight would only bury his military strength in vain; he was false and cautious in flattery, just to keep some available soldiers for the court , It's not about living in an ignoble way... The dignitaries are endlessly responsible, that's really demanding!

In such a mood, he couldn't help asking: "I don't know why your envoy taught me?"

With a sincere smile and clear eyes, Yi Cheng met Yu Wenyong's anxious face directly:

"The general is our friend. Since he is our friend, we have to do our best to keep it safe." He said softly, "The nobles of the Northern Dynasties asked for blame, but they have never seen the power we have. If this is the case, then we can only do something for them. Demonstration... I think, as long as the arsenal and the imperial army in the capital of the Northern Dynasty are rained with fire, then after experiencing it for yourself, the dignitaries will definitely be able to deeply understand the general's difficulties."

Yu Wenyong opened his mouth wide, but even though his lips were trembling, he couldn't say a word anymore.

·

Soon, Yi Cheng bid farewell and wanted to return to the Southern Dynasty to return to his command.Before parting, he handed Yu Wenyong a letter written by King Hengyang, and asked him to forward it to the emperor of the Northern Dynasty.

As for the timing, of course it was after the capital of the Northern Dynasties was bombed and the emperor and nobles were "unforgettable".

Seeing General Yuwen standing silently holding the letter, his expression was still lost.Yi Cheng didn't mind either, and just said the message that Mu Chen ordered him to confess.

"General Fan forwarded it to your Majesty the Emperor. Our King Hengyang said: 'Where all the books in the Wanli are mixed, how can there be a separate border in the north of the Jiang? Unification. China is Zhengshuo, after all, we can’t just settle down—of course, the method of returning to unification is not impossible to discuss. His Highness has already explained, although he has refreshed politics in the south of the Yangtze River, changed the court, and will have various actions. But as long as -"

Yi Cheng frowned, recalled it repeatedly for a while, and finally remembered the strange and extremely incomprehensible words that King Hengyang said:

"—As long as the north and the south are unified, he can allow the north to temporarily implement a different—eh—social system."
