The long streets of Xuzhou at night are shrouded in the dark yellow lantern light. Outside the shabby government office, several men in dark clothes are slowly walking back and forth. Somewhere is the barking of "woof" dogs.

In the yamen, Huang Binglian turned over a page of the file, picked up an iron piece and gently plucked the wick.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "Zhou Duan has a big problem."

A man wearing a green robe next to him said, "The Zhou clan, the former king of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is now in the Daxu Palace... She looks beautiful. Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Duan are relatives."

"So what?" Huang Binglian said coldly.

The man in green robe opened his mouth and wanted to speak but stopped, but seemed to swallow his words and remained silent.

"Jijijijijiji..." The remaining insects from summer were still chirping.

Huang Binglian asked again: "Has the eunuch searched Zhou Duan's mansion?"

The man in the green robe said, "Yes."

Huang Binglian took up the cinnabar pen and wrote quickly: "Get the card ticket, transfer the imperial guards to the envoy, immediately arrested Zhou Duan, sealed the Zhou Mansion, and tortured Zhou Duan and the relevant people!"

"Abide by the order!" The man in green robe stepped forward to take the thing, and was about to turn around, but finally couldn't help but speak again, "Huang Fuzheng, how can we torture? If Zhou Changshi talks nonsense and involves people, do you still have to ask?"

Huang Binglian said coldly: "Who are we afraid of involving?"

The man in green robe said in a deep voice: "It's like... the left auxiliary government."

A subtle expression appeared on Huang Binglian's mouth, and he was about to speak. Suddenly, the dog barking outside became more intense. Someone said outside the door: "Huang Fuzheng, Zuo Fuzheng entered the city overnight, and he received the imperial edict. The guards of the city opened the door directly."

...

On the first day of August, the Imperial City of Tokyo was the first dynasty.

It took him a long time since Guo Shao went to court, and he couldn't remember clearly. Today is the first time he has arrived in court in several months. He still struggled to walk, but he finally could walk slowly without being supported.

All civil and military officials came from the south gate of Jinxiang Hall, while Guo Shao and others came in from the direction of the harem to the north. The Jinxiang Hall complex looked simple and magnificent from the front, like an open and justified imperial power, but the back hall had beautiful corridors that were roundabout like a maze.

This time, the Great Dynasty is not a special day, it is nothing more than a wasteful show to reopen.

Guo Shao stood alone in the corridor with the eunuch Yang Shiliang. Yang Shiliang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, all civil and military officials have arrived, and the court meeting is ready for rituals and music."

He heard Yang Shiliang's report and nodded, but did not set off immediately. He still stood there and pondered for a long time, saying: "No matter when, just having defense and no offense is a great failure."

Yang Shiliang thought about it and hurriedly echoed: "Your Majesty is at its peak, wise and powerful, and ambitious, and not a retreating king."

Guo Shao was very calm about the compliment and seemed to have a calm tone. "No matter what, we still defended well. Xiao Siwen's conspiracy did not succeed. But is this worth celebrating? So many people died and we had to shed so much blood..."

Guo Shao's repressed calm showed signs of losing control, "Do you think I'm willing to do this?"

In the countless wars in the past, there must be more than 800 people who died in this bloodshed; but Guo Shao is very moved now, and must have thought of something he cared about.

"The biggest black hand didn't pay the price. Xiao Siwen and his gangsters escaped. They must be ridiculing me now! Looking at my embarrassment and crazy venting anger haha

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Laugh. Such a ridiculous conspiracy can cause such a big storm, I am like a monkey being played with!"

Yang Shiliang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's all the ministers who are incompetent, and there are all unfaithful people in the court!"

"Forget it, forgot." Guo Shao sighed and turned to walk south. Yang Shiliang bent over and carefully supported Guo Shao.

After Guo Shao went to the palace, he did not refuse others to support him like a stubborn person. He was supported onto the dragon throne by the eunuch, and he looked less brilliant than before. Every move seemed very weak, but his body was tortured like this, so he could not pretend to be strong.

The grand drum sounds and chimes cannot make Guo Shao's demeanor appear more imposing.

"Your Majesty will live forever!" A voice came from the spacious hall.

"Flat." Guo Shao said.

Soon, Wang Pu, who was standing in the forefront, took out the ivory sign and bowed, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Guo Shao didn't say anything. After he went to court, he only said two words in total. The eunuch Wang Zhong said in a sharp voice: "The official family let the king envoys but it's okay."

Wang Pu shouted: "I impeached the Duke of the Protector Luo Yanhuan. During His Majesty's serious illness, he colluded with the inside and outside, and he was defeated by Your Majesty!"

Whispers suddenly appeared in the hall.

Wang Zhong asked, "Envoy Wang, do you have any evidence?"

Wang Pu held up a piece of paper and said, "Du Guo Gong wrote a letter in the mansion of Zhou Duan Xu, and secretly informed him that the officials were ill at that time and the court was in panic. Zhou Duan was suspected of dereliction of duty and bribery. The letter from Duke Luo showed that he had close personal relationships with Zhou Duan. Duke Hu Guo Gong received great favors from the Daxu royal family, was prominent in his position, and led the tax revenue of up to one state in the state treasury. Isn't this heartbreaking?"

Guo Shao spoke in person: "Luo Yanhuan!"

Luo Yanhuan, wearing a black veil in the official uniform, stepped out of the line, and clasped his fists with a blue face and said, "The last one is here!"

Guo Shao raised his hand and said, "Look, you wrote the letter? Let the ministers next to him take a look."

Luo Yanhuan took the letter, looked at it, and handed it to Wang Pu. Luo Yanhuan knelt on one knee and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, it's what the last general wrote."

Guo Shao asked again: "The letter you wrote to Zhou Duan?"

Luo Yanhuan was silent for a long time, and the discussion in the hall gradually became quiet. So the eunuch Wang Zhong's voice was particularly clear: "Duke Guo, the official will ask you!"

"Yes..." Luo Yanhuan lowered his head and gritted his teeth, "It's the best person who secretly informed Zhou Duan about what happened in Tokyo."

The hall suddenly became an uproar, and someone said, "Why did the Duke of the Guru secretly communicate with Zhou Duan? Duke of the Guru is really ashamed of the emperor's kindness..."

Luo Yanhuan said nothing and knelt on one knee in the middle of the hall without any movement, like a statue, allowing a group of civil and military officials to discuss it.

Guo Shao sat on the dragon chaise, his face pale and painful, and his hands in his sleeves were also tightened, "I... come, take off Luo Yanhuan's official hat and send it to Dali Temple, let the yamen review it clearly before letting him go."

After hearing this, Luo Yanhuan bowed to the superiors, took off his black hat and waited for the guards to come in, he bowed: "The official family will finally surrender."

Guo Shao sat on the dragon throne, listening to his voice, and watching Luo Yanhuan's back go out from the main entrance of the grand hall.

Suddenly he shouted: "Official family! Come and save the official family!"

There was a chaotic situation in the hall. He didn't dare to look up at the emperor on the throne. The ministers also looked up at this time, but they saw that Guo Shao had fallen on the throne and were unconscious!

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) The eunuchs and palace maids around him surrounded him and helped Guo Shao up, but he was obviously unconscious.

Wang Pu shouted: "Go to the Imperial Medical Office and call all the imperial doctors on duty!" The eunuch Wang Zhong said: "Release to the back hall first and call the genius doctor Lady Lu!"

The order in the hall, which was originally arranged on both sides, was completely in chaos, and the ministers were in panic.

Surrounded by a large group of people, the emperor was carried away from the throne. Wang Pu shouted: "The official family was cured by serious illness, and the dragon body still needs to be recuperated. It is not a big deal to faint in a hurry. All the princes must not panic."

People looked at each other and were at a loss. Wang Pu said again: "The Privy Council, the Political Affairs Hall, the Duke and the Generals of the State can enter. The rest will go back to the yamen office and wait for news from the center!"

Someone came forward to preside over the situation, and Wang Pu's official position was very high enough that everyone finally settled down. The dynasty was stopped halfway, and there was no need for rituals and music.

The next day, Zhuya received a report from the residence that the imperial doctor diagnosed the emperor's illness, but he was weak and could not work hard, so he had to calm down for more than a month. The emperor issued an order to let the eldest queen supervise the country and temporarily take charge of the country's affairs.

...

Luo Yanhuan stayed in the Dali Temple's yamen office and was not a prisoner. He could walk around the yamen office. There were four clerks who specialized in taking care of his daily life and several guards were guarding him. He had delicious food and drink every day, and the living room had a comfortable bedroom, and even a dining room and a study room.

No one interrogated him, and the officials in Dali Temple were very polite when they saw him.

Even the family members were put in to visit him, and the concubine cried and packed some clothes to change and brought them to him. However, officials from Dali Temple came to meet with their families.

Luo Yanhuan felt a little ashamed when he saw the concubine crying in front of outsiders, and said with a stern face: "The woman can't be scared. She hasn't seen her yet. Go back and wait quickly. I'll go out after a while."

The concubine choked and said, "Is it really okay for Alm?"

Luo Yanhuan deliberately raised his voice and said, "What's wrong with me who came from the sea of ​​swords and fire?"

The concubine said, "I heard that the official family fainted in the hall."

Luo Yanhuan said: "It is better to raise an official family. The one who supervises the country must be the Great Empress, the Great Empress is generous and has nothing to do."

After finally letting my concubine leave with peace of mind, Luo Yanhuan was also confused.

He had to admit that the letter in the hall was written to Zhou Duan. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to the descendants of the Li family and would be of no benefit to him... The emperor greeted him a few days ago, and Luo Yanhuan was not so ignorant!

He looked at the place where he was detained and felt that it was not very serious... He couldn't wash away the fishy smell. Will he be deprived of his lord in the end? This seemed to be the most serious consequence.

Luo Yanhuan was anxious and had no chance to re-establish the Duke through his huge military merits.

He is here delicious and delicious all day long, but he is bored and often thinks about it. He accidentally remembered that Wang Pu in the hall accused the Duke of taking the tax income of up to one state, and thought to himself: Could it be that this is the conspiracy of civil servants, and he is targeting my salary in order to save money for the treasury?

Luo Yanhuan was sad about Li Chuyun's death again. As early as the beginning of the founding of the country, Mr. Li planned ahead and thought of the sinister civil servants. It seems true now.

Luo Yanhuan walked around in several rooms, thinking about it over and over again, feeling that nothing he thought was useless.
