Chapter 169: Chang'an Rebellion

"Tell me what's going on?" Chu Yun looked at Lu Zhong, Xie Ai and Bo Bing with an unkind face, these three people are all members of one party, each commanding tens of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty, and even fighting among themselves, although Chu Yun found out that the three of them were loyal to him, but he was still very dissatisfied, after all, the three armies fought infighting, and the casualties exceeded 20,000. Moreover, the three of them were played with by the enemy like marionettes, and Chu Yun, the emperor, did not look good on his face.

"Your Majesty, you see, this is an order given to us by the Cabinet. Lu Zhong respectfully handed a document to Chu Yun, and Bo Bing also took out a document and handed it to Chu Yun.

After Chu Yun finished reading it, his face did not move, but he had a bad feeling in his heart, there were a total of five people in the cabinet, the first assistant was Mo Han, the second assistant was Ma Liang, and the remaining three people were Zheng Jie, Zhou Yan and You Ziyuan, who was pulled by Chu Yun to fill the number, among these five people, except for You Ziyuan, who was brought back by Chu Yun to be a strong man, the remaining four people were their own henchmen.

You Ziyuan's family has already resigned and gone into hiding, but every time Chu Yun wants to leave Chang'an or retreat, he will be arrested like a strong man, and You Ziyuan has protested with himself several times, but Chu Yun still goes his own way, and this old man is going crazy. But he didn't dare to be arrogant, after all, they were all under Chu Yun's hands, and his eldest son and eldest son-in-law were both officials in Daming. There are two reasons why Chu Yun uses You Ziyuan every time, the first is that You Ziyuan is indeed a first-class talent, and he is a first-class person in this era, and only he understands military affairs. The second reason is that Chu Yun is not satisfied with the harmony in the Ming officialdom, you must know that Mo Han and Ma are wearing a pair of pants, and Zhou Yan is the son of Zhou Bin, the old man of the Iron Army, and he is also naturally close to them. Only Zheng Jie himself is a character of Youziyuan's family, he is alone, although Mo Han and others are also loyal to Chu Yun, but the court must not be all a faction, otherwise Chu Yun has been in retreat for a few years, and when he came out, the surname of Daming was Mo and the surname was Ma, wouldn't Chu Yun be very speechless.

Therefore, Chu Yun asked Youziyuan to come out to balance the situation in the court, and when Zheng Jie's series of characters grew up, Chu Yun would not look for Youziyuan again. You Ziyuan was the prime minister when the Ming Dynasty was just established, so his status can be said to be the uncrowned king of the Ming officialdom, and most of the people in the Ming officialdom are from his disciples, even if Mo Han and Ma Liang are not as good as his connections. Now there are two factions in the Ming Dynasty who work together for Chu Yun, which can also allow Chu Yun to better control the situation in the court by controlling the two factions.

Don't think that it's bad for a country to have factions, everything is relative, when a country is hello, I'm good, everyone is good, the country is almost at the end of the day. Of course, it would be too much to fight to the death like the end of the Ming Dynasty, which needs to be mastered by the emperor himself.

Because the two factions are not in harmony, this is also the reason why Chu Yun himself can go out at any time and retreat at any time. The two sides are "same" because they are both sincere for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and the discord is because they represent groups with different interests, Mo Han They represent the old ministers of the Iron and Blood Army, and You Ziyuan represents the newcomers, they must fight for their own interests, but they will fight under Chu Yun's rules.

Chu Yun is the arbiter, they are all players, Chu Yun has absolute power, so he can do whatever he wants. Sometimes no matter how high the martial arts are, it is useless, Chu Yun can't kill them all because they are disobedient, or give them the Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill like I can do it? Then Da Ming is almost finished, and everything must be within a rule.

But such a perfect balance structure designed by Chu Yun was unexpectedly destroyed, and the order issued from the cabinet indicated that there was a major problem in the Ming Cabinet, and then Xie Ai actually took out a document.

"Your Majesty, I also received a letter, not from the cabinet, but a private message from Mo Shoufu to me. Chu Yun just felt that there was a problem, and there was new evidence, although this letter looked like Mo Han's handwriting, but it was definitely not written by Mo Han, Chu Yun could see at a glance that Chu Yun was not looking at the shape of the handwriting, but the charm in the handwriting. Therefore, no matter how similar it is, Chu Yun will not be mistaken. This letter is to ask Xie Ai to be careful of Lu Zhong, and between the lines is to provoke the relationship between Xie Ai and Lu Zhong. However, it was also because of this letter that Xie Ai escaped Lu Zhong's sudden attack, Xie Ai always thought that this was written to him by Mo Han, and he was very grateful.

But Chu Yun didn't think so, Chu Yun instantly saw that the real purpose of this letter was to sow discord between the Eastern Army and the Northern Army, let them kill each other, and drag them to death in Hangu Pass. It is not difficult to guess the purpose, not only to prevent the 150,000 troops from rescuing Chu Yun, but also to let them go to Chang'an to make trouble, and to make the Ming army consume, it is really a lot of success.

Chu Yun is now more and more worried about Chang'an, after all, several generals of the Ming Dynasty were played with by a few documents, Chang'an must be even more dangerous, I remember that Fo Tucheng once told himself that his relatives, children, and enemies may be wiped out, do you have to experience the pain of more than ten years ago? No, never.

"Let me tell you, Luoyang has been taken down by me, but Da Zhao is likely to have gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to take it back, and now Luoyang is only defended by Moyang and 50,000 iron-blooded guards, it seems that 50,000 people are a lot, but the iron-blooded army in Luoyang has no foundation, because they can't be replenished, and they have to face people full of malice, so 50,000 people are very unsafe. Therefore, I order Lu Zhong, you to lead the Eastern Army to support Luoyang. Bo Bing, you led the Zhendong Army to station me in Hangu Pass and Tongguan, if there is a problem with the two passes this time, you will come and see you. Xie Ai, you take the Zhenbei Army to return to the state immediately, if the state is in chaos, I will ask you. In addition, Wang Jie is likely to encounter danger at the border of the Shadow Wing, if you can rescue him, then go and rescue him. Tell Wang Jie that it doesn't matter if the Xia and Liao people are dead, I just want him to come back safely. After Chu Yun finished speaking, the three of them glanced at each other before Lu Zhong asked.

"Your Majesty, we know that you want to return to Chang'an, but what is the situation in Chang'an now, we don't know, you should take us back with you, we are really not at ease if you go by yourself. After Lu Zhong finished speaking, Xie Ai and Bo Bing nodded in agreement.

"No, Chang'an is the core of our Ming Dynasty, if I, the emperor, can have problems in Chang'an, then I will be too much of a failure, and you are too slow to keep up with me. Besides, how do you know that I am the only one who will return to Chang'an? I have secretly mobilized the Western Army to return to Shiguanzhong, and there is a Western Army, so there is no problem with my safety. After Chu Yun finished speaking, the three of them nodded.

To say that in addition to the iron-blooded Praetorian Guard and the forbidden army, the local army with the strongest combat effectiveness is the Northern Army, but you must know that the army of the four expeditions and four towns has always been the strongest combat effectiveness of the Western Army before, because the Western Army and Qianliang often fought, and they were naturally the strongest when they fought more, but later the Northern Army fought more frequently, so the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army was greatly improved, and the Northern Army and the Western Army were indeed the most effective border armies.

The commander of the Western Army has rotated several times, and now it is led by Chu Yun's hardcore dogleg Liu Dongyong, this Hun is more loyal than the absolute number of people. Many times this is the case, the more those Hu people who defected to the Central Plains Dynasty were more loyal than most Han people, for example, Ge Shuhan, Fugu Huaien and others in the Tang Dynasty sacrificed their lives and forgot to die for the Tang Dynasty, and Liu Dongyong is a bit like these people. Liu Dongyong obeyed Chu Yun's words, and Chu Yun was also very relieved of him, so he transferred him to the Western Army. Because the strength of the Liang State was greatly reduced, the Zhenxi Army was able to resist alone, and Chu Yun secretly put the Zhengxi Army on the border of Qinzhou and Yongzhou, and could support Chang'an at any time. Some time ago, Chu Yun had secretly sent Zhou Yan, the head of the Supervision Department, to contact him and let him enter Chang'an, which was arranged by Chu Yun before the war.

"Your Majesty. "Chu Yun left Hangu Pass and secretly came to Xiatai City in Fengyi County, where Zhou Yan, the leader of the Supervision Division, was already waiting. Chu Yun asked Zhou Yan to leave as soon as possible, just to let him enter Chang'an to contact the Shadow Guard and the Western Army.

The secret guards are the people Chu Yun trusts the most, and they are all destroyed by Chu Yun's murderous aura of the demon source, but there are always exceptions to things, there is always one out of a thousand people who has preserved a little bit of wisdom, and it is no problem for them to inquire about the news, Chu Yun is afraid that something will go wrong with the Supervision Division, so he left these wise secret guards in Chang'an, and now they can really be used.

Chu Yun looked at the news that Zhou Yan handed to him, his face became ugly, now the situation in Chang'an can be said to be a mess, the southern army and the forbidden army left behind have fought, the two sides are fighting outside Chang'an City, and Chang'an has become an empty city without defense. Of course, it is not completely defenseless, there are 10,000 iron-blooded guards stationed in Daming Palace, but the news from the dark guard that Hu Tiezhu was poisoned, and suddenly a group of dead soldiers who are not inferior to the dark guard are attacking Daming Palace. There were a large number of these people, as if they suddenly came out of the ground, caught Hu Tiezhu off guard, and even seriously injured Hu Tiezhu. If it weren't for the strong defense of Daming Palace and Hu Tiezhu's wounded resistance, it is estimated that Daming Palace would have fallen long ago.

And what made Chu Yun even more angry was that a large-scale plague broke out in the entire Chang'an, and everyone knew what the plague represented in this era. And the four gates of Chang'an City are all closed, you must know that Chang'an is nearly a million people, such a dense population, once a plague occurs, it is likely that the entire Chang'an will become a dead city.

But fortunately, the plague has just broken out for a few days, if you delay it a little longer, then the consequences are unimaginable, no wonder Buddha Tucheng said that he didn't have much time, he really didn't agree to Buddha Tucheng to release his apprentice, and if he was entangled for a few days, then Chang'an City would be completely finished.

"Zhou Yan, you go and tell Liu Dongyong, let him surround Chang'an, don't let anyone go, the forbidden army and the southern army will let them fight slowly, and both of them will be kicked in the head by dogs?" Although Chu Yun said this, he still asked Zhou Yan to send someone with a holy decree printed with his own jade seal to stop them, and if anyone didn't listen, then they would be eliminated on the spot.

When Chu Yun entered Chang'an, he found out how bad the situation was, the entire order of Chang'an completely collapsed, killing people and setting fires was completely the scene of the end of the world, and the official arrest of Chang'an City had already been dealt with. The officials in Chang'an City were also trembling and staying at home, and Chu Yun didn't leave for a while before he saw that the mansions of several officials had been broken down by the people.

Disorder is not the most important thing, the most terrible thing is that in these mobs there are many sick people who are all rotten, and these people seem to be plague patients. Plague in ancient times did not refer to a soldier, but to a contagious disease, Chu Yun observed for a while, this disease should be contact infection, Chu Yun saw someone touch them with his own eyes, and after a while, his body began to itch, and then the skin of the divine stone also began to fester, and its time was only half an hour.

Chu Yun saw that the contagion was so strong, so he wanted to control it as soon as possible, and the way to control it was to let the secret guards isolate this group of patients, and it was estimated that only this group of thoughtless dark guards would dare to deal with it. In Chang'an City, only Daming Palace has a large number of secret guards.

When Chu Yun came to the outside of the Daming Palace, he was immediately attracted by the tragic offensive and defensive battles, thousands of divine power derivatives were fighting with the iron-blooded Praetorian Guard, Chu Yun didn't expect that so many divine power derivatives would appear, could it be that all the divine power derivatives in the world appeared in Chang'an?

Chu Yun had always suspected that the Divine Power Derivator was a Ding Furnace made by a supreme master, and the bloodstones in the bodies of these Divine Power Derivators were seeds, once all the Divine Power Derivatives were absorbed by this person, it was estimated that this person's strength was likely to break through the Heavenly Rank. Chu Yun has always wanted to know who this guy who invented the divine power derivative is, but as Da Ming becomes stronger and stronger, and there are fewer and fewer divine power derivatives, Chu Yun slowly ignored it, but now that he saw so many divine power derivatives popping out, Chu Yun knew that people were holding their breath and wanted to kill Da Ming.

Chu Yun only felt the breath of Hu Tiezhu and Qingchengzi's apprentice Qingfeng in the entire Chang'an, the two masters of the Divine Stone, and of course, the entire Ming Dynasty was also the controller of the three Divine Stones. Hu Tiezhu is stationed in Daming Palace, his breath flickers and darkens, and he is injured at a glance, while Qingfeng is hidden in Chang'an City, he has his own tasks, Hu Tiezhu is to protect the harem, and Qingfeng is to protect the cabinet. Other than that, Chu Yun didn't feel the aura of any of the other Divine Stone Controllers in Chang'an City.

"Can't I sense it?Or is it true that Chang'an doesn't have a Divine Stone Controller? "Chu Yun was not in a hurry to enter the Daming Palace, although the Daming Palace was besieged in a hurry, but it did not reach the point of exhaustion. Chu Yun didn't want to startle the snake now, Chu Yun wanted to find out the source of the plague in Chang'an City as soon as possible, and once he killed these divine power derivatives and let the poisoned people escape, Chu Yun would definitely regret it.

Chu Yun walked around the entire Chang'an and didn't find anything abnormal, after Chu Yun reached the Heavenly Level, although his divine sense was only a few hundred meters away, it was not as big as when he was in the early stage of the Xianwu Continent Level, but Chu Yun's light skills were very powerful, so it was not difficult to run a few more times and check the entire Chang'an.

But nothing was found, if it was an anomaly, then several important ministers of the Iron and Blood Army were honestly staying at home and not trying to restore order in Chang'an, which was the only anomaly. After a closer look, he found that they were all controlled by others, and dozens of divine power derivatives could control them, although Chu Yun put ten secret guards around them to protect them, but if they were really targeted by someone with a heart, the ten secret guards were not invincible. This also explains why Lu Zhong and other generals received orders from the cabinet, and they were all caught, and the cabinet was in the hands of the enemy, and it was not difficult to issue orders from the cabinet.

But one thing I can't figure out, why didn't the enemy kill them? Could they still be useful? If they really killed them, then the Ming would definitely be paralyzed.

But no matter what, since the enemy didn't kill them, it was Chu Yun's luck, after all, they were all rare talents, it seemed that even if they were startled, they would have to rescue a few people first, and they might know more news than ordinary people.

Chu Yun was just about to make a move, and suddenly remembered something in his mind, could it be that there were traitors among these ministers? The enemy did not kill them, just to cover the identity of the traitors? The more Chu Yun thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.

After all, there must be someone in command of the chaos in Chang'an, and the orders issued by the cabinet have specific processes and specifications, and they can only be implemented if all five cabinet ministers are sealed, except for Chu Yun and the five cabinet ministers, this news is not known to others, even if someone pretends to be a cabinet minister, it is impossible to imitate the cabinet documents so similarly. Chu Yun took out two documents from the space and looked at them carefully, sure enough, this was a document that had been stamped by all the five cabinet ministers, and it was definitely not fake, so it seemed that these five people must have traitors.

The most dangerous place is the safest place, and it looks the same as the last time, but there is a problem at the top again. Chu Yun's body entered Mo Han's mansion silently, and soon, Chu Yun left again, as if he had never come.

It only took an hour, Chu Yun had already circled the mansions of the five cabinet ministers, and Chu Yun came out of the last cabinet minister's house, his face was extremely ugly.

"Qingfeng, is this how you protect a few pavilion elders?" Chu Yun appeared in Qingfeng's mansion, when Qingfeng saw Chu Yun, he was startled, and he hurriedly gave Chu Yun a big gift. This guy has already reached the middle of the ground level with the help of Chu Yun, and it is also Chu Yun's confidence to put him and Hu Tiezhu in Chang'an, but now that Chang'an is in chaos, who is Chu Yun looking for if he doesn't look for the two of them?

This Qingfeng is different from his master Qingchengzi, this kid is greedy for pleasure and power, Chu Yun named him the Hou Ye, and bought him by giving him brocade clothes and jade food.

"Your Majesty, you can wronged the minister, the minister has done his best to protect the safety of several elders, Your Majesty. Qingfeng, who had changed his name to Li Qinglian, took out a letter and handed it to Chu Yun, who took it with a cold snort.
