"Poor Dao (Poor Monk) obeys the order!"

In the face of Zhao Ziliang's aggressiveness and demands, the old Taoist and the young monk could only agree with a wry smile, who made them make a big mistake in this assassination incident! It is true that they are hermit masters with power beyond the world, but Zhao Ziliang is not only the king of the world, but also the king of the world, and all the hermits in the Tang Dynasty and the Western Qin world have to obey his orders.

Lao Dao Songhe Zhenren once again made a mockery of Zhao Ziliang and asked, "King, how about handing this person over to Poor Dao and others?" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Ziliang agreed with a slight groan, but raised his right hand and made a strange gesture, and an invisible and qualitative force shot into Peng Dahai's forehead, only to see that Peng Dahai was suddenly thundered, his body trembled a few times, and his consciousness became confused.

The faces of the old Taoist Songhe Zhenren and Master Chiba changed, how could they not know that Zhao Ziliang had destroyed Peng Dahai's sea of knowledge and turned him into a walking corpse. The two of them were helpless, although they felt sorry for Peng Dahai, who had cultivated to the peak of the innate realm, but they also understood Zhao Ziliang's approach, as a king, how could he easily let go of the assassin who assassinated him?

"Hey, the king has turned him into an unconscious walking corpse, but the power in his body is still there, and once he goes crazy, he will inevitably hurt innocent people!" Master Chiba sighed, immediately squatted on the ground, raised his hand and struck Peng Dahai's belly dantian, abandoning his strength, Peng Dahai's whole person suddenly suffocated like a deflated ball, as if he was ten or twenty years old, his body shrank a lot, and his skin was wrinkled and drooping more ugly than the old bark.

Subsequently, Master Chiba ordered a few acupuncture points on Peng Dahai's body, stopped the bleeding at the base of his severed thigh, and said to Songhe Zhenren: "Real person, let's take turns to guard the king every three years, this Peng Dahai poor monk will be brought back for resettlement, and the poor monk will come to replace the real person after three years, how about it?" ”

The old Taoist Songhe real person slapped the head: "Good! ”

Zhao Ziliang didn't bother to pay attention to how these two people arranged, his attention was on those assassins who were still fighting with the soldiers of the Dragon Guard, assassins are the kind of people who can't get on the stage after all, they can only live in the dark, relying on unexpected sneak attacks to succeed, once exposed to the elite army's organized formation siege, they can only be beaten passively.

"The infantry surrounds them in the inner ring, and the cavalry covers and supports them with bows and crossbows on the periphery, and not one is allowed to let go!"

Zhao Ziliang's voice came out, and the morale of the soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army was greatly boosted, these were originally drawn from the elite army, and their proficiency in tactics and execution had long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and under the command of the squad leader and officers, these assassins who had exhausted their means were surrounded.

Liang Zhenwu and Pei Jian were lying not far away, Zhao Ziliang walked over and squatted down and asked, "How are you two doing?" ”

Liang Zhenwu covered the wound on his chest that had been cut, gritted his teeth and said: "The king doesn't have to be careful, his order is hard, and he can't die!" ”

Pei Qian's mouth was full of blood, "The minister's sternum is all shattered, and his internal organs have also been severely damaged, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect the king in a short time!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Pei Qian's severed arm again, stretched out his hand and tapped a few times on his shoulder socket and chest, then turned his head and said, "Come on, treat their wounds first, and send someone to carry them back to the palace to heal!" ”

"Yes, King!" Wang Fu Zhan Shi Lu Zhen immediately called two medical soldiers over.

Zhao Ziliang instructed Lu Zhen, who was standing next to him: "The Jinwuwei soldiers patrolling this street are likely to have been poisoned by the assassins, otherwise these assassins would not have so many equipment to disguise themselves as Jinwuwei soldiers to sneak attack us!" Send people to Wannian County and ask them to quickly send people over to clean up the scene and appease the people living around! ”

"Yes!" Lu Yi agreed.

The battle on this side continued, and the Jinwuwei soldiers patrolling on Suzaku Street heard the shouts of killing on this side when they passed through the intersection, and after a rapid whistle alarm, the Jinwuwei soldiers patrolling the streets ran to this side to reinforce one after another, and after a while, dozens of Jinwuwei patrols gathered around to surround the surroundings.

Monk Chiba had already disappeared with Peng Dahai, only Songhe Lao Dao remained at the scene, but Zhao Ziliang ignored him, watching the soldiers of the Dragon Guard besiege all the assassins to death.

After all the Assassins had been killed, the soldiers began to clean up the scene, the bodies of the Assassins were carried together, and the dead Dragon Guard soldiers were also lifted aside.

The infantry officer came over and bowed to Zhao Ziliang with his fists in return: "King, the bodies of the brothers and assassins who died in the battle have been cleaned up!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Carry the brothers who died in the battle back to the palace, and leave the bodies of the assassins to Wannian County for their own disposal, so that they can check the identities of these people!" The assassins have so many powerful repeating crossbows, and since this dynasty has forbidden the private possession of high-powered crossbows, let alone these powerful repeaters, the ban of the imperial court is not a dead letter? Is it because these lawbreakers don't take the imperial ban seriously, or is the government not cracking down hard enough and not strictly enforcing the law? What the hell is Wannian County doing to eat, so many repeaters appeared in Chang'an without receiving the slightest rumor, where did these repeaters come from? Did the Assassins make it inside the city, or did they bring it into the city from outside? What do the captains of the city gates do to eat? ”

Lu Zhen arched his hand and said: "King, it's time to rectify it, as far as the ministers know, including Chang'an, there are still many fast arresters and gangsters recruited from the market, and the officials in the government do not rule out that some people secretly compromise with those illegal forces in order to secure their official positions, and turn a blind eye to what they do!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was silent for a moment, walked back to the carriage and sat down, all the arrows inserted in the carriage had been pulled out, and soon his voice came out: "Lu Zhen!" ”

"The minister is here!" Lu Yi hurriedly agreed.

"Ordered to return to the palace, send someone to deliver the decree, today's court meeting will be canceled, when to go to the court to wait for the notice of the palace. In addition, the news was released, saying that Lone was seriously injured in the assassination and was bedridden! ”

Lu Zhen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he had a hunch that he was afraid that another storm would break out, and he had been by Zhao Ziliang's side for several months, and he had a little understanding of this person's methods and means.

At the gate of the imperial city, the civil and military ministers were gathering in groups to whisper, and all the courtiers knew that at this court meeting, they would announce a specific plan for rectifying the atmosphere of officialdom, a plan for streamlining the local government offices, a plan for reducing the number of administrative officials, a plan for reducing financial expenditures, and a plan for advocating the building of a clean and honest government.

As a matter of fact, rectifying the atmosphere of officialdom is also a kind of rectifying the rule of officials, but it is only a difference in strength. The bad atmosphere of officialdom is mainly reflected in the fact that officials are greedy for pleasure, use public funds to eat, drink and enjoy, use public funds to entertain colleagues and superiors, nepotism, act as a protective umbrella for local black and gray forces, and do not make big mistakes and keep making small mistakes.

Over the years, without the permission of the official documents of the imperial court, many local governments or imperial court yamen have privately set up administrative organs and privately increased the number of officials, which has virtually made the local government and the imperial court yamen bloated and redundant. It is impossible to find out from which government yamen and which chief official started this situation, and some of the additional institutions are indeed very useful, and such institutions and yamen must be retained, while some are purely redundant, not only making the government yamen bloated and huge, but also greatly increasing financial expenditures, and the annual income of these extra officials is a large amount of expenses.

Regarding all this, these officials and ministers who are waiting at the gate of the imperial city to open the door are discussing in a low voice, some people are worried that this action will be too big and will get on their heads, and some people are eager to rectify it fiercely, sweep away the black smoke and miasma in the officialdom, and there is a clear and clear sky in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, everyone has their own ideas.

Officialdom has always been to see people talk about people, see ghosts and talk nonsense, all of them are old oilmen, of course, there are also upright, six relatives do not recognize, not afraid of the powerful, but everyone can not open their hearts to others, so they always speak secretly, unclear, and urgently need to exchange ideas with each other, and guard against each other.

At this moment a carriage came quickly, escorted by a dozen knights, and the sound of the horse's hooves came from far and near, and the courtiers who were talking in a low voice stopped when they heard the sound, and turned to look at the carriage.

The carriage quickly came to the Suzaku Gate under the escort of the knights and stopped, and everyone saw that Cao Yingxiang, the personal eunuch of the regent, walked down with the dust, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts, only Cao Yingxiang came, and the regent did not come, could it be that there will be a change in today's court?

I saw Cao Yingxiang come over and shake off the dust, and said sharply: "Ladies and gentlemen, our family is here to convey the will of the regent, today's court will be canceled, and when you will go to the court again you need to wait for the notice of the palace, you adults should still go to the yamen on duty as usual, and you must not slack off and waste military and political affairs!" ”

After Cao Yingxiang finished speaking, he turned around and got into the carriage, and the carriage turned around, leaving only the ministers and officials with bewildered faces.

"What's going on?" Someone asked.

"yes, why is it suddenly postponed?"

Someone felt that something was wrong: "No, the regent has never postponed or canceled the court meeting, what happened today?" How I feel wrong! ”

As the prime minister, Li Yu stood up and shouted; "Okay, don't think about it, since the regent has decreed the cancellation of the court meeting, then you will go to the yamen to be on duty, don't say that Lu did not remind you, now is an extraordinary time, don't hit the tip of the knife and scatter!"
