Obtain the divine power at the beginning

The system also told Shi Tianyu that this red-crowned crane could carry objects or people weighing ten thousand kilograms, could fly ten thousand meters high, and could even go straight up to the nine heavens, head straight to heaven, and meet the Jade Emperor.

This is the mount that Lü Dongbin, the swordsman, left in Wudang Mountain when he was cultivating his swordsmanship. It has lived for more than 1,500 years and is also known as the Maiba Crane, a fairy beast. This Maiba Crane is now on the roof of the Kaoshan King's Palace.

Shi Tianyu then took out a box of Feitian premium wine from the system space, carried it out, put it in the hall, and asked Zhu Shuilong to distribute it to Tian Hong and others. Then he waved his hand to let Dudu, A Dan, Asan, Lu Ming, Yaoyao and others fly to the roof together.

Sure enough, a giant red-crowned crane was already on the roof.

When this red-crowned crane, also known as "Maiba Crane", saw Shi Tianyu coming, it flew over affectionately and stayed by Shi Tianyu's side.

From this moment on, Shi Tianyu became the new owner of this "Maiba Crane".

~

Shi Tianyu excitedly hugged the red-crowned crane's neck, kissed the crane a few times, and told the crane that he was going to the new ice city in the northwest, carrying Dudu, Adan, Asan, Luming and others on his back.

The red-crowned crane nodded frequently, then spread its wings, lay on the roof, and asked Dudu, Luming, Yaoyao and others to come up.

Dudu was very worried about the safety of his original wife Duoduo and concubines Mingyue, Yayun and others in the New Ice City, so he floated up excitedly and called Luming, Yaoyao, Shushen and other beautiful concubines to come up.

Then, he invited Adam and Shan to go to the northwest together.

A Dan shook her head and said that according to the rules in their hometown, they must stay with their new husband for at least three months before they can separate, otherwise their marriage will not be smooth.

Shi Tianyu smiled, and then floated out Weitong, Yanwan, Shi Bingbing, Shi Ruiyang, Shi Ruitao and other children, and asked them to ride on the crane to visit the Ice City in the northwest, visit their relatives, come back in the evening, and then go to Jiangnan to pick up Liu Aner and Shen Zhenzhen.

In fact, Dudu has also practiced some of the magical skills of the "Sacred Heart Sutra" and can also "ascend to the Immortal Steps at will."

However, his skill in the Shi family ranks behind Liu Rufei, Helan Minyue, Xifangzhi and Wang Jing, so he cannot bring his concubines such as Luming, Yaoyao, Shushen and so on with him.

And Dudu’s male function is even more powerful than Shi Tianyu’s. He can’t live without women for three meals a day.

Therefore, no matter where he went, Dudu had to bring some of his wives and concubines, such as Duoduo, Mingyue, Luming, Yaoyao, etc.

~

"Wow! That's great! I can have a car like this! Life is so good!"

The ladies and children cheered and then flew together with Dudu on the red-crowned cranes to the new ice city in Xiliang.

Shi Tianyu then flew down with A Dan and A Shan, and took care of the official business. He took out two "Ni Qian Kun" pills and stuffed them into Zhu Shuilong and Qian Qilan respectively, telling them to drink them and go to sleep quickly. When Zhu Shuilong heard that this was the "Ni Qian Kun" that could increase his power, he was so excited that he burst into tears and quickly took Qian Qilan's hand and turned away.

Shi Tianyu acted as an official in the court of the palace for a while. Thinking about Wei Xueyan's safety, he moved Liu Rufei, Lu Ying, Tan Ruofeng, Zhu Lili, Hua Qianduo and other ladies out of the system space and asked them to go to Princess Changxiang's mansion in the capital to rescue Wei Xueyan.

Shi Tianyu also said that it was not convenient for him to show up and let others see him in the capital. He was an outsider and could not enter the capital without an imperial edict. Later, he would ask Dudu, Luming, Yaoyao and others to go to the capital to meet him.

Lu Ying, Tan Ruofeng, and Zhu Lili questioned angrily: "Shi Tianyu, you are such a piece of shit. You are going to marry another wife? Can you sleep with her?" Shi Tianyu smiled and said: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Now I ask you to save people, but they may not marry me."

A Dan and A Shan also said angrily: "I don't care, Shi Tianyu, you have to accompany us every night."

Liu Rufei said, "Sisters, the world is so big that it's hard to imagine. In addition to Wei Xueyan, there may be Li Xueyan, Zhang Xueyan, and Guo Xueyan in the world. If you don't let my husband marry Wei Xueyan, what if, in the future, my husband runs into Li Xueyan, Guo Xueyan, or Zhang Xueyan again? As for this Wei Xueyan, she is quite powerful in both literary and martial arts. It is probably the last time for my husband to take a concubine. Forget it. We have food and drink, Xianju, Feiyu Island, and the Ice City in the northwest. We have countless money and food. What a beautiful life! Why quarrel over such a thing? It would be a shame if the harmony was damaged because of it!"

A Dan said angrily, "Okay, then we have to wait until Dudu comes back, and then we can take the crane to the capital."

Tan Ruofeng, Lu Ying, Liu Rufei and others asked in unison: "What crane?" Ashan then told them that the fairyland had given our husband a red-crowned crane, and the ladies asked to ride the crane to the capital to rescue people.

Shi Tianyu had no choice but to say, "Okay, but you are all bored now, why don't you all follow Rufei to perform the Immortal Step and go to the Old Flame Village base? Bring back Yang Miaoyun, Guo Lingyu, Situ Yan and the children?"

Liu Rufei said generously, "Okay!" Then she hugged the ladies on her back and performed the "Immortal Steps" to fly away in an instant.

However, the sisters A Dan and A Shan did not go and still stayed with Shi Tianyu.

After lunch, the sisters A Dan and A Shan asked to eat "Ni Qian Kun" to increase their power.

In fact, they both wanted to sleep with Shi Tianyu. The so-called three months after marriage can not be separated is also an excuse.

I just want to get pregnant earlier and become a mother sooner.

Otherwise, with Shi Tianyu having so many wives and concubines, the sisters A Dan and A Shan were really afraid of being excluded.

Shi Tianyu laughed, took out the demon-absorbing bottle, poured out a few "Ni Qiankun" pills, and gave them to the sisters A Dan and Asan with warm water. Then he hugged the two beauties and indulged in happiness.

~

Tian Hong led the civil and military officials on a journey back to the capital.

Each of them received two bottles of top-quality wine, and when they returned to the capital, they reported the situation to Zhu Youjian, and all of them spoke highly of Shi Tianyu. Those two bottles of fine wine were worth ten thousand taels of gold in that era.

Moreover, officials in the Ming Dynasty were not short of money and were all very wealthy.

Most officials have no shortage of money or beautiful women.

No matter how cruel the emperor is, it is useless as most officials are still corrupt.

Because the salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were the lowest in all dynasties, and everyone had to make a living, so how could they not be greedy?

They live a wealthy life and party every night.

Because although the imperial court severely punished corrupt officials, it lacked supporting measures.

This is completely different from Shi Tianyu's fight against corruption.

The area under Shi Tianyu's rule is indeed very good. In this era, Tian Hong and others have never seen such a good place.

Shi Tianyu's methods of governing the local area and combating corruption were often more cruel than those of the emperor.

However, Shi Tianyu has introduced many supporting measures to enable both officials and the people to live a good life.

Because officials are also human beings and they also need to live a good life.

If these officials are not allowed to live a good life, how can they govern their jurisdictions with peace of mind?
~

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian met with civil and military officials including Tian Hong at the residence of Concubine Tian in Yongning Palace.

Accompanying Zhu Youjian in meeting Tian Hong and others were the cabinet chief Huang Liji, as well as important cabinet officials Shi Fenglai and Li Gua, who listened together to Tian Hong's report on his inspection of Henan Prefecture.

After listening to the report, Zhu Youjian asked in shock: "The ability to call the wind and rain? In that case, I can't deal with the traitor Shi Tianyu?" His ability to govern the court was poor, and he was very good at engaging in court disputes. He was an expert in internal fighting but a novice in external fighting.

What he thought about was not world peace, but whether he could eliminate all internal enemies. However, Shi Tianyu had indeed offended Zhu Youjian, because before that, Shi Tianyu had "stood" on the side of Wei Zhongxian.

~

Zhu Youjian now wants to find Shi Tianyu's "evidence" all the time to put Shi Tianyu to death.

But when he heard that Shi Tianyu could "call the wind and rain", he was worried that he was no match for Shi Tianyu. He was really afraid that Shi Tianyu might be some kind of god.

Since Zhu Di, successive emperors of the Zhu family have refined elixirs in an attempt to attain immortality.

Therefore, many generations of emperors died from eating the "magic pill".

Therefore, Zhu Youjian hated those who practiced Taoism and alchemy, and was also very afraid of people like gods.

Therefore, by bribing Wanyuankang, he hired Zhang Tianhu as his personal bodyguard.

It is said that Zhang Tianhu is a person who has practiced the "Hun Tian Bao Jian" and has invincible magical skills, especially the "Emperor's Sword Skills". He can also fly on clouds and mist and shrink the distance to an inch. His skills are far higher than Wan Yuankang, Dongfang Xiao, Kou Yanming, Murong Sheng and others.

~

At this time, Zhang Tianhu hurriedly bowed and explained, "Your Majesty, the so-called wind and rain summoning technique is not a magic of immortals, nor is it a magic of demons. It is a rare skill in the martial arts world, a rare skill that was mastered by the Miao chieftain Da Tietou Mao Zishui.

When this person has gathered enough strength, he uses the palm-leaf fan to stir the lake water, creating huge waves. When he has fanned the lake for about the tenth time, there will be a sudden loud thunder in the clear blue sky, followed by a strong wind, flying sand and rocks, dark clouds and heavy rain.

As soon as his power was retracted, the wind and rain stopped suddenly. It was just unknown when the traitor Shi Tianyu learned this amazing skill from Mao Zishui.

Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Although the traitor Shi Tianyu can call the wind and rain, he is still no match for me.

I have already passed on my sword skills to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty had my power, you would be able to defeat the traitor Shi Tianyu in three moves. After defeating Wei Zhongxian, I will find a way to capture some fairy beasts and auspicious beasts for Your Majesty to use to increase his power."

Zhu Youjian nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Shi Tianyu was some kind of monster or god.

It’s okay if it’s not, if it’s not, then there will be a chance to kill Shi Tianyu.

Humph! We will eventually find out the crime of that traitor named Shi.

~

Although Tian Hong saw Zhu Youjian's face full of murderous intent, he was not afraid.

Because his sister, Concubine Tian Xiuying, was Zhu Youjian's most beloved concubine.

Now, Concubine Tian is also here.

Therefore, Tian Hong still spoke well of Shi Tianyu, and then he talked about the jurisdiction of Henan Prefecture. Now under the rule of Shi Tianyu, the order was in good order, the public security was very good, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the city defenses of both the prefectural city and the county town had been strengthened.

He also reported that in three months, Lord Shi had mobilized 9 million civilians, distributed 30 million taels of silver, 100 million dan of grain, and killed all the landlords in the territory. However, no one dared to rise up in rebellion.

One reason is that the majesty of King Shi is placed there.

A famous general who fought against the Jin army, a hero who suppressed the rebellion, a master of military strategy, and an honest and good official, these praises that people have for Lord Shi are not exaggerations, but real, visible and tangible.

The second reason is that all the people in Henan Prefecture were allocated fields, forests and food relief.

Third, Prince Shi also announced that all people in the Henan Prefecture would be exempted from taxes for three years.

Fourth, Lord Shi announced that officials at all levels in Henan Prefecture would receive double salaries. In addition to the salary given by the court, the Kaoshanwang Palace also paid equal salaries to officials at all levels in Henan Prefecture. In this way, Lord Shi not only won the hearts of the people, but officials at all levels also supported him very much and did not dare to be corrupt because they all lived a good life.

~

Bang! Upon hearing this, Zhu Youjian flew into a rage, slammed the table in anger, and shouted, "Shi Tianyu is such a traitor, he deserves to be executed.

Humph! He confiscated more than 30 million taels of silver and 100 million dan of grain, why did he only ask Wei Xueyan to hand over 1 million taels of silver to me?
"Shi Tianyu, this traitor, this so-called chief grain officer of the imperial court, is seriously derelict in his duty, is seriously derelict in his duty, and is the most corrupt person in the world. If I don't kill him, it will be difficult to relieve my hatred."

~

Concubine Tian hurriedly stood up and persuaded Zhu Youjian: "Your Majesty, no! Absolutely not. I have heard of the reputation of Lord Shi. Although he is young, he is an important minister relied on by the late emperor. He is also a master of military strategy, a famous general who fought against the Jin Dynasty, a meritorious official who suppressed the rebellion, and a good official who loves the people like his own children. If Your Majesty kills Lord Shi, it will definitely cause panic among the civil and military officials in the court.

If Your Majesty really wants to kill him, he can find another way.

For example, Prince Shi could be transferred to the battlefield without any soldiers, money or food.

In short, there are many ways to kill Prince Shi, but don't accuse him of any crime.

It is very difficult to accuse someone like Prince Shi of any crime.

If we are not careful, His Majesty and the court will be condemned by the people.

Now, drought is spreading across many parts of the country, especially in the northwest. Nine out of ten years there is drought, and people are unstable. Countless people are planning to raise an army.

If His Majesty suddenly punishes Prince Shi at this time, someone might seize the opportunity to seize this opportunity and start a rebellion."

~

This Concubine Tian, ​​Tian Xiuying, was from Shaanxi.

However, when Tian Xiuying was born, her father was already serving as a captain in Yangzhou.

Therefore, she can also be considered a Yangzhou person.

However, Tian Xiuying was smart and energetic since she was young. She was fond of all kinds of elegant and exquisite knowledge, such as painting, playing the piano, calligraphy, poetry, embroidery, etc. She was proficient in everything. Her mother and later stepmother were also talented women with many talents.

Therefore, her father loved this daughter very much, and would invite teachers to teach her whatever she liked.

Growing up in such a relaxed and culturally rich family, Tian Xiuying naturally has an extraordinary temperament.

~

Back then, when the late Emperor Zhu Youxiao was choosing a concubine for his younger brother, Prince Xin Zhu Youjian, Concubine Tian was lucky enough to be chosen.

At that time, Zhu Youjian already had a princess named Zhou, and Tian Xiuying could only be regarded as a concubine.

The previous emperor Zhu Youxiao died and Zhu Youjian ascended the throne.

Tian Xiuying followed Zhu Youjian into the palace and was named Li Fei.

Now, she was promoted to the title of noble concubine.

One reason is that Tian Xiuying is beautiful and naturally beautiful.

Moreover, Tian Xiuying likes to go out with a plain face and no makeup.

However, her beauty could still surpass that of other concubines.

Compared with those concubines who wore heavy makeup, Zhu Youjian preferred Tian Xiuying's fresh and natural appearance without any decoration. Secondly, Tian Xiuying's character was calm but a little wild, indifferent but sensible, and well-behaved and lovable.

Tian Xiuying once went horseback riding with Zhu Youjian. She had a graceful posture and superb riding skills.

This made Zhu Youjian, who was used to seeing Tian Xiuying's quiet appearance, extremely surprised and delighted.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian highly praised Concubine Tian's horsemanship, saying that even skilled riders could not match her.

~

Once, the Suzhou Weaving Bureau presented some singing girls to the imperial court and the palace. Zhu Youjian liked them very much and was often intoxicated by them.

At this time, Tian Xiuying advised Zhu Youjian: "This is a time of trouble. Your Majesty should not indulge in these songs and dances."

Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. My beloved concubine has made great progress in her studies. Don't worry, these songs and dances have existed in the previous dynasties. I will not indulge in them."

~

Third, Tian Xiuying is multi-talented and unrivaled in the harem.

He is not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also has many unique talents.

Moreover, Tian Xiuying also taught herself gardening.

There was a corridor in the palace, and Tian Xiuying ordered people to plant some mugwort on both sides.

In summer, vines climb all over the pergola, providing not only shade but also coolness.

Tian Xiuying also didn't like the thick bars and large windows of the palace gate, so she moved to the corridor room.

It was transformed into a low-sill curved railing and a screen was installed.

He also bought some daily necessities from Jiangnan for his house, and decorated it in a particularly unique way.

Tian Xiuying also built a "moon-playing platform" outside the West Palace and piled up stones to form a cave.

In the summer, she would hold up the mosquito net and look at the moon.

In addition, Tian Xiuying was also very proficient in needlework and often had some unique ideas, which surprised Zhu Youjian very much.

For example, the crown was originally decorated with dark blue and dotted with pearls, but Tian Xiuying replaced them with gemstones.

When viewed from a distance, it sparkles, further highlighting the emperor's majesty.

~

In addition, Tian Xiuying also designed and sewed some palace flower patches, which Zhu Youjian often proudly used to reward his ministers.

This made Zhu Youjian feel very honored.

Tian Xiuying also often designed some novel clothing styles. In addition, Tian Xiuying herself was a hairstylist and often designed her own hairstyles to replace the old hairstyles that were commonly used by the concubines in the palace.

~

Fourth, Tian Xiuying's feet were very small, what literati called three-inch golden lotus.

Zhu Youjian couldn't let it go and praised Tian Xiuying's small feet highly.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian often stayed in Concubine Tian's palace, and named the small Yongning Palace where Tian Xiuying lived as Chengqian Palace.

From then on, Zhu Youjian often played the zither with Tian Xiuying, the two of them played in harmony, watched the moon together on the platform, and rode horses together.

In particular, Zhu Youjian placed the "Flowers" painting by Tian Xiuying on his desk and often looked at it.

Zhu Youjian couldn't let go of the fan painted by Tian Xiuying. Therefore, when Zhu Youjian was angry, no one dared to persuade him, but Tian Xiuying dared to persuade him and pointed out the wrongness of Zhu Youjian.

~

Now, Tian Xiuying's advice really made Zhu Youjian speechless.

So Zhu Youjian said, "Well, let's put aside the issue of how to deal with the traitor Shi Tianyu for now and deal with Wei Zhongxian and his daughter first." Tian Xiuying said, "Your Majesty, Prince Shi has reported the personnel arrangements for several months.

If it is not approved, the officials appointed by the court in Henan will be useless, because Prince Shi started as an iron-fisted county magistrate, and was also an iron-fisted prefect and an iron-fisted governor. Your Majesty, why not approve the personnel arrangements submitted by Prince Shi? Prince Shi suppressed Prince Fu, and he is also a meritorious official to the court and Your Majesty. It has been many years, and it is the first time that someone has suppressed Prince Fu.

If this is the case, His Majesty can stabilize Prince Shi and his civil and military officials.

In addition, the court is short of money, and His Majesty can also use this opportunity to exchange conditions with Lord Shi to let Lord Shi raise money for the court. The end of the year is approaching, and His Majesty needs a large amount of money and grain to reward civil and military officials, and also to raise grain and silver for the soldiers on the border.

In this way, His Majesty can also deal with the Crown Prince Zhu Junkai and Wei Zhongxian as well as border affairs at will."

~

When Zhu Youjian heard this, he became furious. He stood up abruptly, but sat down again in an instant.

I was very angry, yet helpless, and was panting like a cow.

Because every word Tian Xiuying said made sense.

However, Zhu Youjian hated Shi Tianyu very much. However, at the moment, Zhu Youjian really didn't dare to make enemies everywhere, and thus found that, apart from Wei Zhongxian, the most difficult person to deal with was actually Shi Tianyu, who was famous in the court and the country.

~

Zhu Youjian couldn't help feeling distressed.

However, being two-faced is Zhu Youjian's characteristic and advantage.

So, Zhu Youjian was angry, but also said helplessly: "Okay! My beloved concubine is right. Huang Aiqing, draft an edict for me, agreeing to Dai Kun as the governor of Henan, agreeing to He Baofu as the governor of Henan, agreeing to Liu Cong as the chief criminal prosecutor, Lü Yuan as the commander-in-chief, agreeing to Zhu Shuilong as the governor of Henan Prefecture and the general of Guangwei in Henan Prefecture, leading the troops raised by the imperial court's grain-raising office to garrison Henan Prefecture.

Agree to Zhu Xiang to be the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, agree to He Sihai to be the prefect of Runing Prefecture, agree to Xiang Laixiang to be the prefect of Nanyang Prefecture, agree to Bai Youlong to be the prefect of Guide Prefecture, and agree to Lu Baochuan to be the prefect of Zhangde Prefecture.

Other personnel arrangements were also agreed upon.

Huang Aiqing, you and Li Aiqing will inspect Henan Prefecture for me again, and take a look at other places by the way. After arriving in Henan Prefecture, you are not allowed to drink alcohol and you must not accept the banquet invitation of the traitor Shi Tianyu.

I don't need your travel expenses, food and lodging. You can bring your own money and use it as you need. We must find out if Shi Tianyu, the traitor, is disloyal to the court."

~

Zhu Youjian seemed to smell the alcohol on Tian Hong.

Therefore, it was specifically instructed that the two cabinet ministers, Huang Liji and Li Gua, were not allowed to drink alcohol after arriving in Henan Prefecture.

Huang Liji, Li Gua and others immediately bowed and took their leave.

~

Tian Xiuying stood up and closed the door of the bedroom, then turned to Zhu Youjian and said, "Huang Liji is the chief minister recommended and promoted by Wei Zhongxian. Your Majesty just told Huang Liji that he would deal with Wei Zhongxian first, and Huang Liji will definitely report Your Majesty's words to Wei Zhongxian later.

I think Your Majesty will send people to arrest Wei Zhongxian to prevent him from doing something desperate.”

~

Zhu Youjian said, "That's exactly what I meant. Now, Wei Zhongxian can't do anything desperate. He is no longer the governor of the East Factory, and his daughter Wei Xueyan is no longer the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. However, my beloved concubine's suggestion is very good. I will return to the Qianqing Palace to handle court affairs now. My beloved concubine, please rest early. I will arrest Wei Yan and his gang at the morning court tomorrow. I calculated that Tian Hong and his gang will return to the capital tonight, so I sent Huang Liji to leave the capital tomorrow morning."

~

Tian Xiuying nodded, opened the palace gate, and bowed to see Zhu Youjian and Zhang Tianhu out.

After leaving Yongning Palace, Zhu Youjian ordered Zhang Tianhu to send someone to gather Cabinet Minister Shi Fenglai, East Factory Governor Dongfang Xiao, and Jinyiwei Commander Wan Yuankang to the South Study of Qianqing Palace to discuss matters.

After secret discussion, it was decided to arrest the six ministers of various ministries, including the Minister of War Cui Chengxiu, the Minister of Personnel Zhou Yingqiu, the Minister of Revenue Wei Guangwei, and the Minister of Punishment Pan Ruzhen, during the early morning court session the next morning.

Then, Zhu Youjian asked Shi Fenglai to draft an imperial edict immediately, and asked Kou Yanming and Murong Sheng to lead the team to Kunming and Xi'an to announce the imperial edict to Feng Zhenting, the Governor-General of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Fu Xing, the Governor-General of Shaanxi and Gansu, and asked Feng Zhenting and Fu Xing to confess their guilt and hang themselves, and asked Wei Liangqing and Wei Liangdong to confess their guilt and then commit suicide by taking poison.

~

Afterwards, Zhu Youjian asked Wan Yuankang to lead some people to the homes of ministers of the Donglin faction who hated Wei Zhongxian to death, and incited the Donglin faction to denounce Wei Zhongxian and his followers at the court the next morning.

The situation was tense and Wei Zhongxian and his followers began to feel frightened.

That night, Cui Chengxiu led his entire family to hang themselves in Cui's mansion.

Recently, Wei Xueyan has been feeling uneasy and has been under house arrest, surrounded by Dongfang Xiao and Wanyuankang's people.

Shao Qicong and his disciples Wan Youli, Yu Shengfa, Chen Hai, Zhang Ziran and others turned their attention to Wei Xueyan, He Xiangu and Juping. Most of the maids and servants in Princess Changxiang's mansion had been dismissed, leaving only a few to serve Wei Xueyan.

However, because he had been with Wei Xueyan for a long time, Chen Hai more or less cared about the old relationship.

It was late at night and Wei Xueyan was feeling uneasy and couldn't sleep.

So, Chen Hai quietly knocked on Wei Xueyan's door, told Wei Xueyan about Cui Chengxiu's sudden suicide, and suggested that Wei Xueyan escape.

~

Wei Xueyan said sadly: "Master Chen, thank you! His Majesty did not deprive me of the title of Princess Changxiang, so I will not run away until the last moment. If I run away at this time, it will definitely cause my father to die tragically, and it will also affect my reputation.

To the imperial court, I can be considered a meritorious official, not to mention my contribution to suppressing underworld gangs, especially my assistance in raising food and funds.

It can be said that the 200,000 Jinyiwei were supported jointly by Prince Shi Tianyu and I.

Some court officials said that my father was a corrupt official, but my father's house actually had little money and food. I believe that the same is true for Cui Chengxiu, Wei Guangwei, Zhou Yingqiu, Pan Ruzhen and others. They should be considered honest officials. "Knowing that Chen Hai was also a two-faced person, he spoke well of Wei Zhongxian, Wei Guangwei and others, hoping that through Chen Hai's mouth, the word would spread and reduce some of the guilt of Wei Zhongxian, Wei Guangwei and others.

~

Chen Hai didn't dare to stay in Wei Xueyan's study for long. He left silently and went to stand guard.

Dudu, Liu Rufei, Tan Ruofeng, Lu Ying, Zhu Lili and others who were lurking were originally unwilling to rescue Wei Xueyan. After overhearing Wei Xueyan's words, they flew away on the "Maiba Crane" and returned to Luoyang to report the situation to Shi Tianyu.

Shi Tianyu heard this and said sadly: "Wei Xueyan is right. The court has not yet taken action against her. If she escapes, then she will have nowhere to hide.

There is definitely no place for her to hide in the martial arts world. There is also no place for her to stay in the imperial court. Let's wait and see what happens."

After saying that, he led his wives and concubines back to the No. 2 courtyard of the No. 2 locker in the system space, poured out a fairy dog ​​from the demon-absorbing bottle, killed the fairy dog ​​with one palm, and after roasting it, he brought Zhu Shuilong, Qian Qilan, Yang Song and Master Liaoran into the system space, and then ate the fairy dog ​​meat and drank the fairy dog ​​soup together.

Guo Lingyu cursed, "Shi Tianyu, your grandma is such a piece of shit. You tricked me, Situ Yan, and Yang Miaoyun into going to the Huoyan Village base, causing us to eat so many less divine pills! No wonder our skills are so far behind Sister Bi Ruofeng."

The beauties, Zhu Shuilong, Yang Song, Qian Qilan, and Master Liaoran all laughed. In order to appease Guo Lingyu, Situ Yan, Yang Miaoyun, and Li Gongchun, Shi Tianyu only ate half of the dinner and went back to his room with the four beauties to enjoy himself.

~

Capital.

The next morning, in the Golden Palace.

Yang Suoxiu and Yang Weiyuan first attacked Cui Chengxiu.

Then, the officials Lu Chengyuan, Qian Yuanque and Yuanwailang Shi Gongsheng, etc., all reported Wei Zhongxian and read aloud the ten major crimes that Qian Jiazheng, a tribute student from Jiaxing, impeached Wei Zhongxian for: one was being on par with the emperor, two was despising the empress, three was tampering with military power, four was disrespecting his ancestors, five was stripping the titles of princes, six was disrespectful to sages, seven was granting titles and rewards indiscriminately, eight was covering up his military achievements, nine was exploiting the people, and ten was having connections.

After submitting the memorial, Zhu Youjian asked Wei Zhongxian if he had any opinions.
After all, Wei Zhongxian was still the Nine Thousand Year Old Lord at that time.

Wei Zhongxian lay on the ground with his forehead touching the ground, and said in a trembling voice that there was no more, that he was a guilty minister who deserved to die, and that he would leave it to the Emperor to decide.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian stripped Wei Zhongxian of his position as the Nine Thousand Year Old Lord and sent him to Fengyang for resettlement. At the same time, he also stripped Wei Guangwei of his position as the Minister of Revenue, Cui Chengxiu of his position as the Minister of War, Pan Ruzhen of his position as the Minister of Punishment, and Zhou Yingqiu of his position as the Minister of Personnel. He also arranged for Donglin people to take over as the Ministers of the six ministries of the court, and took the power of the six ministries of the court into his own hands.

~

On his way to Fengyang, Wei Zhongxian still kept a group of desperate criminals.

Zhu Youjian was furious when he heard the news, and ordered Dongfang Xiao to lead a large number of Jinyiwei to arrest Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian knew that he could not escape death. When he arrived in Fucheng, he learned the situation. He and his accomplice Li Chaoqin drank heavily in an inn at the south gate of Fucheng until four o'clock in the morning, and finally hanged themselves together.

Zhu Youjian then ordered that Wei Zhongxian be dismembered and his head be hung in Hejian Prefecture.

The "Fengsheng Lady" Ke was whipped to death in the laundry department.

Then, Wei Liangqing, Hou Guoxing, Ke Guangxian and others were executed one after another, their homes were confiscated, and their bodies were left exposed on the streets.

However, the property of Wei Zhongxian and others was taken away in advance by Shi Tianyu.

Zhu Youjian was very depressed because he did not seize much property from Wei Zhongxian, Wei Guangwei, Cui Chengxiu and others.

Originally, it was thought that a lot of property from Wei Zhongxian, Wei Guangwei and others would be confiscated, which could fill the Ministry of Revenue's treasury. This was also the main reason why Zhu Youjian was eager to take action against Shi Tianyu.

Now, not much property has been confiscated.

Zhu Youjian suppressed his anger towards Shi Tianyu and temporarily did not deal with Shi Tianyu. He ordered Wanyuankang to find out the whereabouts of the Dragon Elephant Master, the "Five Qians", the "Two Elders of Xuanming" and the 30,000 Jinyiwei, and to find out how the Dragon Elephant Master and others dealt with the rebellion of the crown prince Zhu Junkai after arriving in the northwest. Any news must be reported as soon as possible.

~(End of this chapter)
