When the time came, the palace gate slowly opened. The leisurely civil and military officials were tidying up their court robes and preparing to enter the palace. However, when the palace gate opened, they saw a small car blocking the way in the door opening. Just as everyone was confused, a young man slowly walked out.

The man was also wearing court robes, but he walked out of the palace. From this we can see that the other party was in the palace last night.

The ministers cannot stay in the palace unless they are in the guards. Now there are only young emperors and young empress dowagers in the palace. A minister stays in the palace overnight and makes it easy to make gossip.

But the civil and military officials outside the palace gate would not have such thoughts, because they recognized this young man one after another, and they were the royal family who entered the palace to accompany the emperor, Bin Wang Yu and Wen Wen.

It is said that Yuwen Wen will succeed as prime minister and take charge of the government.

This news was only circulated in private, so King Bin was the position of Yangzhou General Manager.

But as a vassal king, Yuwen Wen had a noble status, so when he walked out of the palace gate, all the civil and military officials outside the gate saluted him one after another.

Yuwen Wen was rarely in Chang'an and was far away from the center for a long time, so many court officials did not recognize him. He only realized his identity by relying on others' suggestions. Looking at this vassal king with great military achievements, many people felt that they could not understand it.

The prince of King Qi is over twenty years old. Why was the position of prime minister taken away by his cousin (uncle)?

After King Qi has been in business for several years, why didn’t there be many confidants coming out to protect the orphan and widowed mother before the bones were cold?

Such questions cannot be answered. The officials looked at Yu Wen Wen, who greeted him with a smile, and the strangeness in his heart was lingering.

For many people, Wang Yuwen Wen is a familiar stranger. Over the years, people often hear about Yuwen Wen's deeds, know that he is brave and good at fighting, know that he is good at managing industries, and know that he is rich and powerful.

But that is all indirect understanding. Because Yuwen Wen has been in charge of the place for a long time and is not in the center, many people have only seen each other for the first time today.

Such a vassal king who had no foundation in the center actually snatched the position of prime minister from his nephew. Can those assistant officials of the prime minister continue to be reused or not? How will Yuwen Wen take power next?

Some people think that the relationship between Yuwen Wen and his nephew, and Prince Qi, Yuwen Li, may deteriorate. If the uncle and nephew fight, it is better to stay away from him.

Some people are not optimistic about the future, because although Yuwen Wen has outstanding military achievements and a reputation, he has never served in the center and his performance is beyond his reach.

Some people are secretly happy because they feel that a new round of personnel changes will inevitably happen, and if they can win the favor of King Bin, then becoming successful is not a dream.

Some people think that Yuwen Wen must establish his authority when he takes office, so he has to be careful not to be captured by Yuwen Wen and kill the chicken and scare the monkey.

So are the two carts at the palace gate the instrument that Yuwen Wen Liwei wants to use? Is it a guillotine or a torture instrument?

Many people looked at the cart at the palace gate with questions. The two carts were two-wheeled cars covered with white cloth, and they didn't know what was installed on the car.

Yuwen Wen looked at the civil and military officials in front of him, took out his pocket watch to see the time, then patted his palms a few times to attract everyone's attention, and then said loudly: "Everyone, everyone!"

After the scene was quiet, he continued: "I followed the Prime Minister's order and entered the capital from Guangling, Yangzhou overnight. What I did was that a rebel thief assassinated the Prime Minister before, so that the Prime Minister was seriously injured!"

"Now, the Prime Minister has passed away, but there is no trace of the rebels!"

"I am very disappointed with the security in Chang'an! The ghosts and monsters in the city are so rampant!"

As Yuwen Wen spoke, his tone became stern. He led his troops to fight for many years and was a noble vassal king. So after years of age, he finally "brings" a little murderous aura, which makes people feel trembling.

And his next words really made the officials present feel terrified.

"I, at this moment today, do a ritual outside the palace gate to disperse these ghosts and monsters!"

Seeing that Yuwen Wen was indeed going to kill the chicken and scare the monkey to establish his power, some people were a little nervous. They were afraid that they would be unlucky and became the chicken, and Yuwen Wen pulled it out to behead him.

But more people are looking forward to it, wanting to see how King Bin kills chickens and scares monkeys.

Of course, they would not consider themselves monkeys, and what King Bin does now is more like a monkey in their opinion.

In order to shock people, before taking office as prime minister, I couldn't wait to show off my power in front of the palace gate. What's the difference between this and a monkey who grimaced at people after picking up a peach?

For many people, Yuwen Wen hastily established his authority, which shows that although the other party stole the position of his nephew, his foundation in Chang'an was not solid, so he was harsh and weak on the inside. He was worried that he would not be able to convince the public and wanted to kill a few people outside the palace gate to demonstrate his strength.

Yuwen Wen's great martial arts have long been known to everyone, and his political achievements in taking charge of the country are also well known, but he never served in the center, so his ability to govern the country is still unknown to all officials.

This kind of practice of killing sacrifices and sacrificing flags before the war is nothing. The problem is not now in war, but governing the country. Such a martial arts act makes many people feel that the prospects of the court are worrying.

The officials were waiting and watching, but they saw the two two-wheeled vehicles being pushed out of the palace gate. The soldiers pushing the cart looked a little difficult. It seemed that the cart was loaded with heavy things.

Another team of soldiers lined up, standing in a horizontal row behind two two-wheeled vehicles, and stood in three rows. Each soldier held an iron rod in his hand, without a pointed head, so he didn't look like a spear, but he didn't look like a mace.

The sound of horns on the palace gate was heard, and a moment later, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the Suzaku Imperial Road that led to the palace gate. The officials looked up and saw a group of horses galloping along the imperial road towards the palace gate.

As the distance got closer, many people looked tighter after seeing it clearly: these horses were not controlled, but they were all wearing horse armor, which was an armored horse without carrying people, with more than a hundred horses.

There was fire and smoke behind the horse. It seemed that there was a torch tied with a ponytail. The horse ran forward in pain. At this speed, it was afraid that it would soon rush to the palace gate.

Many people looked around and found that the imperial guards holding spears did not look like they were standing in front of the formation. They looked at Yuwen Wen again, not understanding what the other party was trying to do.

The horse tribe was getting closer and closer to the palace gate, less than seventy steps, but there was still no imperial guards forward with their spears. At this moment, Yuwen Wen suddenly shouted loudly: "Everyone! The ritual is about to start, and there is a thunder and there is a lot of noise. Don't panic!"

He shouted three times in a row, and then a soldier pulled off the cloth from the two-wheeled car, but saw a thick metal pillar on the car.

Another soldier fixed the wheels, then held the torch and waited beside the car.

The horses were less than fifty steps away from their side. After a command, the two soldiers leaned the torches behind the metal pillars, and then white smoke rose. After a few breaths, the metal pillars suddenly sprayed white smoke forward.
