The people learned that a war was about to begin in the four cities around the capital. The news spread from the front to all parts of the Shengtian Dynasty. It was said that the court only sent three teams of troops to the battlefields of the four cities?

What is going on? Could it be that the emperor wanted the rebels to capture one of the cities, and then take the opportunity to enter the capital, at the foot of the imperial city?

Far away from the center of imperial power, when I heard that Prime Minister Lu Batian was rebelling, I still didn't believe it. The Prime Minister's apprentices were all over the place, and the Prime Minister's reputation was very high. As a prime minister and a civil servant, why did he declare war against the imperial court?

Going against the emperor?

Didn't the rumors say that the relationship between the prime minister and the emperor was better, and that the prime minister was an important adviser to the emperor before Emperor Jian'an ascended the throne? Didn't it mean that without the current prime minister, there would be no emperor Jian'an who has been emperor for more than 20 years?

?

The common people discussed it, but as long as the battlefield did not come to their doorstep, they had nothing to do with the rest.

The only people who are frightened are the citizens of the capital. The battlefield has reached the neighboring city. Who is not afraid?

But what’s even more terrifying is that the people in the capital have no place to escape, and the four surrounding cities are battlefields. Where are they going to escape? Even if they have wings, they can’t fly far, and they can’t fly in this overwhelming war!

On March 28, the 23rd year of Jian'an, on this day, not only the people in the center of the imperial power were in panic, but even the people in the court were so nervous that they did not dare to breathe loudly.

In the Jinluan Palace, the troops that went out to fight have gone far away, but none of the officials who came to court today have been let go by the emperor.

Some officials still don’t know what’s going on? Why did the imperial court send troops out today? The emperor didn’t discuss such major national affairs with them in advance!

What exactly happened? Yesterday, the emperor ordered troops to raid the prime minister's office. Is this... is this a mess?

"Which officials did not come to court this morning?" Zhai Yuan's recovered voice sounded in the solemn Jinluan Hall.

The emperor has never spoken so vigorously. Has the emperor's cold been cured?

In fact, it was not the case. It just happened that Zhai Yuan had been given an acupuncture by Miaoshou Gongzi yesterday to remove the accumulated depression in his chest. In addition, the effect of Qingke Pills had not yet worn off, so Zhai Yuan looked refreshed and energetic at this time.

Glow!

"Your Majesty, there are second-rank officials: Fang Jieming, Shi Bin, third-rank officials: Lian Jing, Yan Changqing,..." After Eunuch Liu counted the officials who were in court today, he read out to the emperor one by one the names of the officials who were not in court today.

Who is it? This year, more than ten or twenty officials of fifth rank or above came to the morning court!

"Okay!" Zhai Yuan narrowed his sharp eyes, glanced at the officials under the high platform who did not dare to raise their heads, and then said: "These officials will all be removed from their official status, and their relationship with the rebel Lu Batian will be investigated.

If the relationship is serious, the nine tribes will be punished, and if the others are minor, the three tribes will be punished!"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Fang and the others just didn't go to court today, why should they..."

The sixth-grade official who stood up tremblingly confronted the emperor. He thought that the emperor would lose his temper at most and be able to save the life of the high-ranking official whose name was just announced. Who would have thought that the emperor would only...

"Shut up! Come here, drag him down and kill him in public outside the Jinluan Palace!" Zhai Yuan has not thought of being so intimidating today for a long time. As long as officials have the slightest connection with Lu Batian, they will be killed.

Gotta die!

"Your Majesty?" The sixth-rank official who stood up fell to the ground with a bang and shouted, "Your Majesty, I am not guilty, why should I be sentenced to death? Your Majesty, please be kind to the people of the world!"

"You talk too much, drag me out!" Zhai Yuan has a list of traitors and traitors in his hand, and he will not kill anyone by mistake!
