Chapter 543: Great changes in Datong Kingdom

Go to Ningcheng.

This city was built on the ruins, and now a quarter of the city has turned into ruins, leaving most families in the city covered in white cloth.

The mournful music has been playing in this city for ten days and ten nights, but there are still many people who died in the coup. The wailing sound tears away the illusion of prosperity in this city and brings the cruel truth to it.

Prime Minister's House.

The carriages in front of the gate surrounded the nearby main street, but no one could see the Prime Minister in person, but no one was willing to leave just like that.

"The Crown Prince has arrived!"

A mighty and powerful voice sang at the gate, and then a group of dragon and tiger guards arrived at the gate first. Seeing this, the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately notified the left-behind chief of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when the prince arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he The door is fully open.

The Crown Prince came on horseback, and the war horse under his crotch climbed directly to the steps of the front door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. When he was about to enter, the guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion cupped his fists and reminded: "Your Majesty, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"I know!"

"He is stationed at Longhu Guard with the Imperial Master!"

The prince responded, flicked the long whip in his hand and dismounted, then threw the whip to the Dragon and Tiger Guard next to him, walked two steps to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when he tidied up his appearance, the original heroic aura on his body, It is very natural to transform into the aura of a refined scholar.

"Yes!"

There is no one here.

Following Chang Shi into the office hall, there were more busy officials inside. Most of them did not notice the arrival of the prince. The prince was too lazy to argue with them. He followed Chang Shi silently into the prime minister's separate office area.

"Yes!"

"I have seen His Royal Highness!"

Chang Shi first glanced at the people waiting in line outside to see the Prime Minister, then made a respectful gesture of invitation and brought the Crown Prince into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When the Longhu Guard answered, the Crown Prince had already walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion with steady steps.

The prince waved his hand indifferently, with a repulsive expression. He was accustomed to using this method to get rid of unnecessary flattery, so as not to waste extra time.

"No need to be polite..."

The prince sat down on the prime minister's seat, suppressed the anger in his heart, glanced at the open door, and asked again: "Where is the prime minister?"

Before entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, he turned to the Longhu Guards and ordered: "Send away those people on the street. You don't even care what time it is. What trouble are you here to make!"

"Would you like to straighten your tongue and say it again? I just came from the Longhu Guard Station!"

"No need to be polite, take me to see the Prime Minister!"

The prince's face didn't look very good.

Chang Shi still bowed politely and repeated his previous answer.

"Where's the Prime Minister?"

The courtyard behind the screen wall was very busy. There were more than a dozen civil servants waiting for documents in the courtyard alone. They had a special passage to get out of the Prime Minister's Mansion smoothly. Outside the office hall, there were also people from Taiwei's Mansion and Taiji's Mansion. Officials are waiting.

Changshi bowed politely and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Prime Minister and the Imperial Advisor will discuss important matters at the Longhu Guard Station."

The left-behind officer of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shi, had been waiting in front of the screen wall for a long time. When he saw the prince entering, he clasped his fists and bowed: "Better meet your highness, may your highness be well."

The prince maintained his demeanor, stared at Chang Shi for a few breaths, and asked: "Is there a second dragon and tiger guard in the Kingdom of Datong?"

Chang Shi lowered his head and clasped his fists and said: "The Prime Minister said that he will not come back again. If there is a second Dragon and Tiger Guard, His Royal Highness will know about it soon."

"... "

Since the establishment of the Dragon and Tiger Guard, there has been a saying in Datong court and among the people that there is an inner court and an inner court. People say that the Dragon and Tiger Guard they usually see is the outer court, and the real inner court is in the hands of the Prime Minister. He uses Longhuwei connects the north and south, successively closing Shanwu Road, Beiyuan Road and Zhenshanguan.

Even occasionally when going to court, the king would ask the prime minister if the Longhu Guard had an inner court, but the prime minister would laugh it off every time. "hehe!"

The prince suddenly chuckled and said, "No matter whether the Dragon and Tiger Guards have distinctions between the inner and outer courts, the inner courts will disappear soon."

Changshi bowed at this time and said: "Your Majesty should not laugh like this."

"... "

"You are an interesting person..."

Instead of being angry, the prince stood up, looked at the long history in front of him, and said, "If the prime minister doesn't come back, how about you come to my prince's house?"

Chang Shi just cupped his fists and bowed.

The prince laughed again, this time it was not a mockery, but a hearty laugh, and then left without looking back.

...

Northwest of Shangning City.

Because Shangning City was built on ruins, Zhang Xinghuai had been preparing for the same thing to happen from the beginning, so he secretly set up a military stronghold in the northwest.

What Chang Chang claimed to be the Longhu Guard camp was actually one of the strongholds he used to hold secret meetings with monks from various sects on important matters. As for the Longhu Guard inner court discussed by the court and the people, it did not exist at all.

Three days ago, when Zhang Xinghuai was busy dealing with the aftermath of the coup caused by Buddhism in the Snow Land, he suddenly received a message from Zhenyang Sect Lexin. He froze on the spot. After thinking carefully for a night, he secretly took Monk Mingkong to come. here.

"I thought you would just become depressed, or vent your temporary emotions like Taoist Master Ma Zuo, and then return to dust."

In an earth building built with rammed earth walls, Monk Mingkong was leisurely making tea. From time to time he glanced at Zhang Xinghuai who was quickly processing official documents in his hand.

Zhang Xinghuai raised his head and glanced at Monk Mingkong, and responded: "Ma Zuo is stupid. I didn't expect the bigots to be so stupid. You can actually fight with them for hundreds of years. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to defeat them within ten years." lose!"

Monk Mingkong smiled without any explanation.

After a pot of tea was brewed, he poured a cup for Zhang Xinghuai and asked, "Is Junhou's health okay?"

"Don't worry, I've seen it myself. There will be no problem in insisting on moving the capital to Anqing."

"You don't have to think about moving the capital. It won't be done within a month. You'd better not have the idea of ​​​​confronting Zhenjun, because that is ridiculous!"

"Do you think I look stupid?"

Zhang Xinghuai finished processing the last document and called outside: "Here comes someone!"

A seventh-grade civil servant came in. Just as he was about to salute, Zhang Xinghuai stood up and said, "No need for formality. Send these documents quickly. Then, you can go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The civil servant obviously wanted to say something after hearing this, but in the end he just bowed deeply, then stepped forward and quickly exited holding the documents on the desk.

"Don't mess around. If you mess around, they will definitely ask your uncle to come and arrest you. This will make it difficult for your uncle!" Mingkong reminded very seriously.

"Don't you care about me?" Zhang Xinghuai asked in a joking tone.

"Look at your wording. You don't even admit that you are a member of the Jimin Society. You still want us to save you?"

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Xinghuai laughed, sat across from Mingkong, picked up the teacup he had prepared and said: "One month is enough time, the capital Anqing has been decided, what we have to do is to help the Snowland Buddhism quell the civil strife, and completely quell the civil strife! "

"Which side are you going to help?"

"The Zhongchuan sect, the self they cultivate is the true Buddha!"

"What a true Buddha, you like them because they are easy to control, right?"
