===========================

Du Qingfu's strategy was very good, and Huo Yunchao was caught without a fight. The night was getting darker, the farce was over, and everyone returned to their proper positions.

Mrs. Qin was sent back, Huo Ying was sent back, and Qing Tianliang was also sent back.

Du Qingfu looked at the peaceful night, refused to be escorted by the guards, walked alone within the palace walls, stopped at the imperial garden, looked at the peonies in full bloom in the courtyard, and smiled.

It was here that she fell in love with Huo Bing back then, and finally chose to enter the palace to marry him, and she never went out to see him again.

How is the outside world now?

She took out a signal flare from her bosom, unplugged the fuse, and a brilliant firework exploded directly over the palace.

She wants to take revenge, except for the Huo family, she will not let go of any of the accomplices who embezzled the Du family's property and stood on the sidelines.

She knew better than the queen mother the changes in the situation in Zhengyang. Du Xun sent her a letter telling her about Huo Yunchao's current movements, so she knew that Huo Yunchao would definitely come tonight, so she could catch the turtle in her cradle.

Take out the signal flare that was prepared earlier in the morning, everything is ready, as long as the order is issued, the people who should attack will still attack, and those aristocratic families left outside the palace, don't even think about running away.

Empress Dowager Dong and the others were taken aback by the fireworks. Qing Tianliang looked up at the beauty that bloomed in an instant and finally submerged into the night, and smiled.

Empress Dowager Dong asked him why he was laughing, and Qing Tianliang pointed to the night sky: "The army outside Zhengyang is about to attack the city. It is best for the Empress Dowager not to order the army to stop, because they will help you eradicate other aristocratic families. At that time, only the Dong family will be alone." Da, this is more beneficial to you than sharing the power of Dajia Kingdom, isn't it?"

Empress Dowager Dong was silent for a long time, then turned around and continued to walk towards the bedroom.

Huo Yunchao looked up, there was no emotional ups and downs, he only had Qing Tianliang in his eyes, thinking, maybe Qing Tianliang made such a choice to protect him, but so what?From then on, the world will be separated, and it is no different from death. If the queen mother takes the tiger charm, even if the army takes Zhengyang, they will not be able to capture the palace. The queen mother will not fall, and the Dong family will be the final winner.

As for Qing Tianliang, thinking of Qing Tianliang's promise to the Queen Mother, Huo Yunchao laughed in a low voice, but his eyes were not bright. Anyway, he knew early on that Qing Tianliang never wanted him.

There is one thing that does not belong to him, body and mind, that is betrayal, his possessive desire, his selfish possessive desire that is so suspicious.

……

Su, Tang, and Wang's family didn't expect an enemy attack, and hurriedly dispatched the city defense army to suppress the mob, but they received news that Huo Yunchao attacked the city, and the army broke into the city and fought with the city defense army.

Huo Yunchao's army was unstoppable, Zhou Jin disappeared inexplicably, the army of justice did not have time to reinforce, and the city defense army was defeated in less than a quarter of an hour. Offensive.

At dawn, Zhengyang was already in a mess, many houses were collapsed, but few people died.

Concubine Hua and Concubine Shu who were in the palace finally heard the news, their faces turned pale, knowing that the situation was over, they began to tidy up their belongings with trepidation, planning to take advantage of the chaos in the palace to find an opportunity to escape.

Unexpectedly, the army stopped unexpectedly when they entered the palace. The queen mother asked Eunuch Ning to hold the tiger talisman and order the army to stop the attack. Li Huaiying and Kuang Rong looked at each other. Under the circumstances, he could only call for gold and withdraw his troops, knelt down and proclaimed himself a minister.

The Empress Dowager ordered the army to go north to help Ruan Peixu, and set off immediately, and they would not be able to return without being called. They were ordered to leave immediately before they even knew what Huo Yunchao's current situation was.

Li Huaiying turned her head three times a step at a time, and finally clamped the horse's belly tightly under the majestic gaze of the Queen Mother, and shouted: "Retreat!"

The queen mother ordered to rectify Chao Gang, let her elder brother Dong Kai be the prime minister, and sent him to gather Dali Temple officials to sort out the crimes of other aristocratic families over the years, and then judge them, exile those who should be exiled, and those who should be killed.

The court hall was noisy for a while, but anyone who resisted would be beheaded in court.

The change of power was as fast as lightning. The queen mother dragged her tired body back to the palace. Ning Kou handed over the jade seal dug from the prime minister's mansion to her. Looking at the jade seal, the queen mother Dong began to write the imperial decree.

At night, a big fire suddenly broke out in the harem. When Empress Dowager Dong led people to arrive, she found that the place where the fire broke out was the palace where the noble concubine lived. Thousands of people surrounded the palace to prevent the fire from spreading to other places, but they could do nothing to put out the fire and could only watch helplessly. The palace burned to the ground.

Empress Dowager Dong recited Amitabha in the firelight, and said to Ning Kou: "Bury the noble concubine in the royal cemetery, and fast for three days throughout the country."

……

In the spring of 120 in Dajia Kingdom, the new emperor had been on the throne for several months, and all the food owed by the court had been returned to the people of Dajia Kingdom. Zhou Jin emptied the granaries of the two families and returned to the north with the grain.

Li Huaiying received a letter from Ruan Peixu asking him to lobby Zhou Jin to fight together, so Li Huaiying visited and Zhou Jin followed.

The Dong family reached the peak for a while, and almost the world almost became the Dong family's world.

Empress Dowager Dong did not break her promise, and on the third day after the death of the imperial concubine, she secretly had Huo Yunchao released without letting Qing Tianliang take a look.

Qing Tianliang was frustrated for a while, for the imperial concubine and Huo Yunchao, he was either sick or drunk all day long, and his life was a mess.

Empress Dowager Dong was too busy dealing with court affairs to take care of him, so the matter of letting him marry a wife was shelved.

Empress Dowager Dong wanted Xiao Wang to help her deal with the mess, but Xiao Wang moved to the fief with Huo Ying. Empress Dowager Dong had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it herself.

"Can't you do something practical? The Ai family promoted you so that you can occupy the latrine without shitting?" Empress Dowager Dong frowned, and rarely said a foul word.

The ministers below looked at each other, Dong Jia said: "Your servant will send people to build the city wall, but no one allocates funds, can't buy materials and tools, and can't hire people."

Empress Dowager Dong asked: "Who is in charge of appropriation?"

Dong Yi replied: "Your Excellency has not come to the court these days due to sick leave, so I can't ask for instructions, and I can't approve the money."

Empress Dowager Dong asked, "Who is your immediate boss?"

Dong Yi replied: "My name is Wang Baoxiang, the grandson of the original Shangshu. He is quite talented in arithmetic and learning. He has a photographic memory and is very capable."

Empress Dowager Dong half-closed her eyes, and said: "If he doesn't go to court, no one will go to court? Cut off his official position for the Ai family and replace him with someone who can do things."

The minister bowed his head and said "yes".

Empress Dowager Dong asked again: "Who handles the problem of people's household registration?"

After the unification of the Dajia Kingdom, the household registrations of the people from the original Guijue and Shang Kingdoms had to be moved to the name of the Dajia Kingdom. The more and more memorials piled up, the Empress Dowager only mentioned this matter.

A minister replied: "It's Mr. Xiang Jun. The merchant country was defeated in the past, and the issue of household registration for the people of the two countries was handled by your lord."

Empress Dowager Dong scanned around, and seeing no one came out to answer, she asked, "Who is Xiang Jun?"

The minister said again: "Master Xiang has been in Yaocheng, and these related letters were sent to Yaocheng for processing."

"..."

After Empress Dowager Dong took over, in order to consolidate her power and let everyone handle matters in the court, she must always pay attention to the movements of the ministers, and the household memorial was also sent to the throne case at her request.

Empress Dowager Dong rubbed her forehead and said: "If he can't handle it in Yaocheng, won't you find another person to come out? There are hundreds of ministers in such a big court, how about it?"

The ministers didn't know how to respond. They had no experience in this industry, so they were inevitably inexperienced, so they didn't dare to take on this job.

Empress Dowager Dong ordered everyone to choose a suitable person to deal with. Everyone loves to curry favor with the Empress Dowager, so they chose to choose someone from the Dong family. Seeing that the Empress Dowager's complexion improved, they all rejoiced that they had chosen the right one.

After that, the queen mother asked some more questions, except for the repayment of the food, which was done well, there was a problem here or there, and she threw up her sleeves and left on the spot in anger.

As the days passed, Empress Dowager Dong originally thought that the Dajia Congress would be on the right track due to the change of people, but unexpectedly the situation became more and more uncontrollable.

In terms of funding, because many places across the country have to allocate funds for reconstruction, the people who just took over couldn't understand Wang Baoxiang's accounts. It's nothing, but after the new funds were allocated, the people who did this thought they could deduct loopholes and greedy money, so they made fake accounts, and they went back and forth, causing the funding agency to be paralyzed directly. Money, and the officials found out the problem and hurried to fill in the loopholes. Before filling in all the greedy ones, it was not enough. I didn't know what to do for a while, so I reported to the court again.

The issue of household registration is even more chaotic. Officials handle affairs in Zhengyang, and all memorials and letters are sent to the palace. Another group had conflicts, and asked how to deal with it. Dozens of people sorted it out for three days and three nights without sorting it out. Finally, they moved all the memorials that had piled up into a mountain to the court, hoping to find capable people to come out and deal with them.

There were other questions about floods, droughts, locusts, canals, and even wars that kept coming up.

Because time dragged on for a long time, many problems related to people's livelihood could not be resolved for a long time, and the people complained. Recently, they even made up a nursery rhyme scolding Dong's incompetence and spread it around, reaching the ears of Queen Mother Dong.

Empress Dowager Dong sat in a high position, looking at these ministers, half of them were members of her Dong family, she felt a little helpless, how could she work harder?The Dong family couldn't bear the heavy burden of running Dajia Kingdom, even if they were given positions and powers, they couldn't do things well, so how could she favor them?

"Give Ai's family to deal with these matters within ten days, and if they fail to handle them, they will be executed." She thought, this might force these people to use their brains and come up with a solution.

With the decree, the officials who were afraid of being beheaded finally achieved good results, those problems were gradually resolved, and the number of memorials became less and less. Empress Dowager Dong was very pleased to see it, and finally freed up time to talk to Qing Tianliang about marrying a wife.

Qing Tianliang was lying on the grand teacher's chair, whether he was sitting or lying down, with a wine jug in his mobile phone, his hair was messed up, and his clothes were very untidy.

Seeing the queen mother, he smiled and said, "Your heart is really big. They say that the problem has been solved, and you believe it without even checking it?"

Empress Dowager Dong looked serious: "What did you say?"

Qing Tianliang said: "The city wall cannot be paid for, so the imperial court violently recruits servants. Whoever's house is raided without manpower. In order to protect their homes, the people have no choice but to contribute for free."

"The canal was dug, the dam collapsed, the river water poured into the farmland, and the newly planted seedlings were all washed away by the water, and they haven't been reissued yet. The officials you sent were afraid that things would become serious, so they concealed the casualties and the disaster. The riots have already occurred. After living together and being suppressed by force, do you guess that the people there swallowed their anger or gathered their strength to prepare for the next big wave?"

Empress Dowager Dong's expression was serious, she didn't believe it: "How do you know this?"

Qing Tianliang squinted at her, and the corner of his mouth slowly curved: "Guess."

Empress Dowager Dong looked at him carefully, and seeing that he was calm, she lowered her head and thought for herself, walked half a circle around the table, and suddenly a line crossed, and said in astonishment: "Could it be that... the current situation was caused by you secretly?"

After hearing this, Qing Tianliang raised his head and laughed, and looked at the Empress Dowager Dong after laughing, "What virtue and ability do I have, this was all caused by you, the Empress Dowager, you don't know how many immoral things the Dong family has done in the past. Several big families have been destroyed, do you understand the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold? The Dong family is currently the only one, but at the same time it is difficult to do it alone. If you want someone to do things for you, who else can you call besides the Dong family? Who is willing to obey the command of the Dong family?"

Empress Dowager Dong stared angrily, raised her trembling fingers to Qing Tianliang, and said, "Who dares not listen? Anyone who doesn't listen to Aijia will have his head cut off!"

Qing Tianliang sat up and said: "Cut it off, cut off all capable people, and wait for you to be overthrown by the people who rose up. It is best to bury the Dajia Kingdom. Like Yunzhao Kingdom and Shang Kingdom, it will become a torrent of history." A tiny speck of dust."

Empress Dowager Dong shook her head, she seemed to be much older for a moment, she barely stood up with the edge of the table, and said: "This... This is all your conspiracy? Who are you with, Huo Yunchao?"

Qing Tianliang put away his smile, pursed the corners of his mouth, stared at her, and said: "This is all for His Majesty, the Prime Minister, the Du family, Ah Chao, the imperial concubine, Xiao Wang and others to use countless people to break the shackles of the aristocratic family. The rules established by life, you are not fighting against any one person, but the rules that have been gradually established over the years, and you still want to follow the old path of controlling a puppet to control the country? It won't work, and now this court, who will replace it? It’s not enough to be a puppet, you can’t convince the crowd, you only control me or someone else, but the Great Jia Kingdom is not in our hands, but in the hands of various virtuous officials and generals.”

People have to follow the trend, otherwise nothing will happen.

Empress Dowager Dong was in a trance for a moment, she seemed to be deceived, starting with agreeing to the army to wipe out other families.
