Troubled Times: Added six doors at the beginning, pushing the world horizontally

Chapter 247
night,

The voice of the watchman echoed in the street, and the policemen riding six gates rode past quickly.

In the past few days, the number of Jianghu people wandering on the streets has decreased a lot.

There was heavy snow floating in the sky, and a thick layer soon fell.

The sound of horseshoes went away, leaving horseshoe prints of different shades.

Duke Cheng's residence,
The magnificent mansion is located in Dongcheng, occupying a huge area.

This mansion has been there since the founding of Dayan, and after generations of expansion, it has already occupied the entire street, and it has become a manor.

Under the quiet corridor, a figure in a black robe walked slowly, walked through the corridor and came to the front hall.

There was a fortitude on the stern face of the visitor, and an indistinct aura exuded from his whole body.

On the first seat in the hall, sat a burly figure with white hair, who looked to be over 80 years old, but his eyes were particularly bright, like a wolf and a tiger.

The luxurious robes are draped over his body, adding a bit of majesty.

"Father!"

Yue Zhongping bowed his hands in salute.

Yue Wu raised his drooping eyelids slightly, as if he had woken up suddenly.

This person is the Duke of the Duke of Cheng's Mansion, Yue Wu!
The reason why Cheng Guogong's mansion has the power it has today is all due to this person.

In the early years, Cheng Guogong was in charge of the army, and many generals were trained under his command.

Although he seldom showed up in recent years, no one dared to ignore the Duke who had lived in the mansion for a long time.

Yue Zhongping said in a deep voice: "The crown prince has already restarted Jingcha, and the plan has failed."

"Today, Shen Du sent people to arrest many officials. Although they are just ordinary officials, this son's ambition is definitely more than that."

"His real goal is probably the high officials in the court and the noble families."

"Ah." Yue Wu sighed quietly, his cold eyes looked out of the hall, his eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "Our prince has been plotting for more than 20 years, and now we are finally in a hurry."

"Although the old man has never seen that mud-legged man, he has heard about it."

"He is indeed a good knife. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be so passive now."

"This person does have some skills."

Yue Zhongping remained silent.

This matter has something to do with him. In his opinion, if he had been able to slap him to death when he was in Qingzhou, there would be no further incidents.

Later, even though they sent people to rob and kill them, it was a pity that they ended in failure after all.

Now it seems to be a little out of control.

Yue Wu glanced at him, shook his head and said: "The matter is over, don't think so much."

"It's not your fault."

He knew that his son had been brooding over this matter.

But being alone alone can't change anything.

No matter how amazingly talented he is, it's just a small variable, and it's hard to change the overall situation.

Yue Wu got up and walked to the front hall, staring at the heavy snow in the yard, calmly said: "The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooking."

"Back then, Great Yan ruled the world and raised troops to drive out the northern barbarians. If it wasn't for the help of us and other families, how could we have come here for thousands of miles?"

"How come he is the ninth-fifth position of the Xia family!"

"I waited for a few families to die and lost so many people that I have today's scene. Do I want too much?"

Yue Wu seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be asking a question.

"Is it possible that only the Xia family is allowed to enjoy the supreme position exclusively, and we just want some insignificant official positions, fields, wealth, why not?"

"Now that his Xia family has secured the throne, he just wants to kick us away. How can there be such a reason in this world?"

The thick voice slowly echoed.

Yue Wu sneered in his heart, his face turning cold.

At the beginning, all the families sacrificed their lives to fight with the Taizu of the Yan Kingdom to drive out the northern barbarians. To put it bluntly, this Yan Kingdom is not dominated by the Xia family, but the world of all the families.

Without the help of their families, how could there be the brilliant empire today.

The contradiction between the imperial power and the noble family will always exist.

He knew what Emperor Yan was thinking, and he also knew what the prince was thinking. He just wanted to solve the disaster of the honorable family, and then wipe out the world in one fell swoop.

But this is going to step on their bones!
Their painstaking efforts of several generations, thousands of children in the clan!
Why?
Wanting to kill them easily is wishful thinking.

The disaster of the honorable family is no longer as simple as recovering money and land.

Only when they are dead can all this be completely resolved.

Just for those lowly commoners?
Are they having a bad day?No matter how bad it was, it was better than when the Northern Man ruled this land.

Yue Wu was expressionless, and said coldly: "It's a pity, the prince overestimated himself too much."

"He's too impatient."

"He will eventually bear a thousand years of infamy for his choice!"

Speaking of this, Yue Wu's eyes were cold, like an angry tiger, and he said calmly: "Since he can't tolerate me waiting, then this matter should have a result."

Yue Wu raised his head slowly, looked towards the direction of the palace, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, your son is more ruthless than you."

"He wants us to die!"

If the child is disobedient, he, as an elder, naturally has to take care of it.

They are not rebelling, they are just changing to someone who can accommodate them, someone who is more suitable for this empire.

The crown prince's actions will only bring the country of Yan into a state of irreparable doom.

If there is no honorable family, how to resist the tribes of the northern barbarians, the two countries of Western Chu and Southern Gan, will be more chaotic at that time.

Yue Zhongping was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Father, why don't you leave Beijing temporarily?"

"leave?"

Yue Wu was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No need."

"You can send a letter to inform the rest of the people, the time has come!"

"The old man is waiting for them in Beijing!"

"Maybe the dragonriding imperial army under your command is completely mobilized?"

Yue Zhongping nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Yes!"

He has been in charge of the Dragonrider Imperial Army for these years, and his prestige is extremely deep. All the middle-level officers have already belonged to him.

An army does not necessarily need to control everyone, as long as the middle and lower officers are controlled, the entire army can be controlled.

Yue Wu sighed softly, turned and left.

No one is willing to come to this step, but there are some things that have to be done.

……

The next day,

The sky was gloomy, and heavy snow covered the entire city of Yanjing.

It snowed almost all night last night.

In restaurants and teahouses everywhere, many people from the rivers and lakes gathered together to discuss the recent Beijing inspection.

The most important thing is to discuss the battle between Shen Du and Shaolin Kongzhi.

They are unwilling to leave, they are waiting for the follow-up results.

Everyone knows that Shaolin will never give up easily.

Nowadays, there are many less Jianghu people in Beijing, but there are also many Jianghu people who come here.

These people are all here to support the prince. There are disciples of Jiange in Shushan Mountain, disciples of Tangmen in Central Shu, and many people who are not called sects.

Gyeonggi Chief Rudder,

Shen sat alone behind the table, flipping through the confessions.

As long as the crime is not too big, Shen Du will not be too embarrassed.

As an official in Beijing, it is very difficult to be completely clean. If they are all arrested, then all the yamen in Beijing should be closed.

His real target is not these ordinary officials.

"grown ups!"

Cheng Zhenlei came from outside the courtyard, cupped his hands and said, "Something happened."

Shen Du asked without raising his head: "Have you encountered obstacles?"

Cheng Zhenlei showed shame, nodded helplessly, and said: "Some people entered the fourth prince's residence, and my brother was stopped outside the residence."

Shen Du was not surprised.

The arrest yesterday was a sudden attack. Many officials were unprepared, so it went very smoothly.

Next, those officials will definitely look for their backers. In this capital, apart from a few princes, the princes are the most powerful.

Many officials have also secretly taken refuge in the prince.

Even if they don't think that the prince will definitely protect them, this is their last choice.

It was within Shen Du's expectation that these people would hide in the fourth prince's mansion.

Among the princes, the fourth prince has the best reputation among many civil officials, and many low-level officials are also under the command of the fourth prince.

Now that something happened, it was natural to find someone to protect her.

Shen Du put down his pen, stood up and said, "Let's go and have a look."

Shen Du led more than ten people out of the main rudder in Gyeonggi, and went straight to the fourth prince's mansion.

……

At this time, a group of people were in a stalemate in front of the fourth prince's mansion.

Although the Fourth Prince is actively courting civil servants, it doesn't mean he hasn't recruited experts.

Especially recently, many people from the rivers and lakes came to Beijing, and Xia Xingwen took the opportunity to attract many people.

Xia Xingwen stood in front of the mansion, holding a sword and looking at the people of the six doors coldly.

Does he want to stand up?

From the bottom of his heart, he actually didn't want to be involved in this turmoil.

You can be famous if you succeed, and you can be famous if you lose!

If he doesn't stand up today, the reputation he has cultivated over the past few decades will become a joke.

His prestige in the hearts of scholars all over the world will plummet even more.

Even those who support him will turn against him.

Xia Xingwen said loudly: "The imperial court has the rules of the imperial court, and the Jingcha also has the rules of the Jingcha. If you act like this, where are you throwing my Dayan law?"

The crowd was silent.

After all, the opponent was a prince with a noble status, no matter how brave they were, it was impossible for them to charge up and kill a prince.

"Your Highness, it's better not to meddle in other people's business."

At this moment, an understatement came from one end of the street.

As the sound fell, Shen rode past alone not far away. The speed was not fast, but as he approached, he exuded an awe-inspiring power invisibly.

Xia Xingwen frowned slightly.

Shen Du would appear here, he had already thought of it.

But it's one thing to be prepared in your heart, but quite another to actually see it.

In the past, he didn't think there was anything, and he never paid attention to it, but now seeing Shen Du again, even he had to admit that he felt a little apprehensive in his heart.

Xia Xingwen quickly pretended to be calm, and said in a cold voice: "Master Shen, your people don't distinguish between black and white, and arrest people indiscriminately. Isn't it too much?"

"Even if it is Jingcha, it has its own rules. If you don't go through the Yushitai and the three courts, you will be convicted. What's the reason?"

Shen Du chuckled, and didn't get off his horse, but looked at Xia Xingwen calmly, and said lightly, "It doesn't make sense!"

"My words are right!"

"The knife in my hand is justified."

"Since Jingcha is in charge of the official, it should follow my rules."

"What's more, it's not the Fourth Highness's turn to take care of this matter, right?"

The prince's status is noble, but that's all.

His status can suppress the people of Yanjing and most of the civil and military officials, but he can't suppress the current Shen Du.

Xia Xingwen's face froze, he never thought that Shen Du would say such a thing.

"presumptuous!"

"Shen Du, how dare you talk to His Highness like that?"

"Do you still have dignity in your eyes!?"

Suddenly, there was an angry shout.

An old eunuch beside Xia Xingwen stood up and glared at Shen Du.

There are not many eunuchs practicing martial arts in the palace, and the eunuchs in each prince's mansion are also skilled in martial arts.

It is indeed rare for Lu Chengen to reach the realm of Dharma, but with the supply of royal resources, these eunuchs are all talented people who have been selected from thousands of people, so there are still some people who are similar to the realm of harmony between man and nature and the realm of primordial spirit.

The old eunuch also knows Shen Du's prestige, and even more knows Shen Du's strength, but as a rootless person, the master is their root.

The master humiliated his minister to death, and seeing Shen Du's attitude, no matter what, he had to stand up.

The smile on Shen Du's face gradually disappeared,

Turning into indifference, he calmly said: "Your Highness, there are some things that are better left alone."

"Since I'm here, people will definitely take it away."

"No one can keep it!"

The plain words fell, but it was like a thunderclap.

The invisible power spread and fell around.

It was as if a mountain of thousands of feet descended from the sky, suppressing it little by little.

Everyone in front of the mansion let out a muffled snort, their faces turned pale, and their hearts were horrified.

Shocked by these words, Xia Xingwen's complexion changed, his heart was both shocked and angry, his face was ugly,

On weekdays, he only practiced some martial arts to strengthen his body, how could he bear Shen Du's aura comparable to that of the Dharma.

If it wasn't for Shen Du deliberately keeping his aura, it would be enough to force him to kneel and bow his head.

Shen Duyun glanced at the eunuch behind Xia Xingwen, and said calmly: "Your Highness, your people seem to have said something wrong."

Xia Xingwen's face turned red, and he felt a burst of embarrassment and anger.

"Paws!"

Xia Xingwen gritted his teeth and said.

Just as Shen Du was so disrespectful to him, with Shen Du's current status, an eunuch scolded him face to face, which obviously violated the etiquette.

After the words fell, a guard beside him hesitated again and again, and still slapped the eunuch.

This slap seemed to hit the eunuch's face, but it also hit Xia Xingwen's face.

Shen Dumu showed playfulness, and said with a light smile, "Catch people!"

Following Shen Du's order, everyone stopped hesitating and rushed into the mansion, and began to arrest the officials who had hid here.

For a while, there were bursts of cursing in the mansion.

"Cruel, you must die!"

"Shen Du, the old man is waiting for you below!"

"Let me go, I'm an official, what do you want to do?"

"Your Highness, save me!"

"..."

All kinds of noisy voices mixed together, making it extremely noisy.

After a while, a group of arresters escorted more than a dozen officials out of the mansion.

Xia Xingwen's eyes were gloomy, but he didn't say a word.

No matter how unwilling he is, he can only watch all the officials be taken away.

Shen Du smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Thank you, Fourth Highness, for your cooperation."

After Shen Du finished speaking, he stopped looking at Xia Xingwen, but rode away.

The figures of the people also gradually disappeared at the end of the street.

"Shen Du!!"

Xia Xingwen suddenly let out a hysterical roar, and slashed his sword on the stone lion at the door, his face flushed.

When did he suffer such humiliation!
"puff!"

Suddenly, Xia Xingwen spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes went blank, and he fell down straight.

"Your Highness..."

"Your Highness..."

Shouts of concern came from all around.
