Chapter 697: The New Dynasty Is Nearly Paralyzed

It was still a winter afternoon, with no sunshine.

The snow had become smaller, like millet grains, and it was a little painful when it hit my face.

There were people sweeping snow on other streets in the capital, but not on the street of the Demon Suppression Division.

In the past two days, the streets outside the Demon Suppression Division should have been trampled out even if there was no road.

On the first night alone, more than 1,300 people were imprisoned in the prison of the Demon Suppression Division, and this was only a small part. More were spread across the prisons of Jingzhao Prefecture and Dali Temple, with tens of thousands of people imprisoned.

Well, Jingzhao Prefecture and Dali Temple are now at a loss. Because the Jingzhao Prefecture Yin and Dali Temple Qing were imprisoned themselves.

This time, the rebellion in the capital involved a wide range of people, and almost one-third of the officials in the capital were related to the families involved. Which of them were directly involved in this matter, which were not aware of it, and which just did some things that were shaky. It will take a longer time to interrogate.

This shows the trouble of family politics. When the main families in the capital are involved in this matter, it means that most officials are implicated, and no one is available for a while.

Now, the morning court is empty for half of the time, and the remaining officials are panicked about this. The political situation in the capital is almost paralyzed, and the mess is worse than when Xia Longyuan just died. More than half of the officials are still left, which is the result of Tang Wanzhuang's prior investigation and trying not to expand.

In addition, there are some people who are not involved in the case, because they are related to Cui Tang and other families, the officials and believers of the Four Elephants Sect, and some ordinary small families who are not qualified to be involved in major cases. If it weren't for these people, it can be said that the morning court is an empty nest...

Such a wide range of involvement actually paralyzed the local areas. At present, Tang Wanzhuang's program is that except for the various passes and cities that let people in along the way, the rest of the places have nothing to do with this matter. No matter who you are, you will not ask. Otherwise, if you really investigate, even the local areas will be shut down.

Even so, everyone is panicking, and everyone is afraid of being liquidated.

This is a true conspiracy of treason and the introduction of the Hu people into the capital. The most extreme liquidation is not surprising.

Huangfu Qing and others did not have such an intuitive feeling. Only Tang Wanzhuang knew that this was actually the biggest political crisis of the new dynasty. From top to bottom, from senior officials to middle-level officials to local governments, there was no one available.

Earlier, Tang Wanzhuang had suggested that Xia Chichi should first use Lu Jianzhang and others to stabilize the court, and then use the imperial examination and other means to slowly cultivate his own political team. This would be a very long process.

When Zhao Changhe suggested to show the enemy a false front and catch a fish according to the changes in the situation, she did not object. If no fish was caught, it meant that Lu Jianzhang and his people could still be saved. If they were caught, it meant that they were hopeless. It would be good if they could accomplish their goal in one battle, but she would be much more tired.

Not to mention anything else, how could the current manpower be enough? The number of people involved in the case was over 10,000, not to mention the subsequent involvement. How many people were there in the Demon Suppression Department? Of course, they had to borrow people from the Four Elephants Sect, otherwise the public security would not be stable.

At the morning court today, Tang Wanzhuang was allowed to leave court early to work. She went up to report the situation and ran away. During the period, she heard the emperor talking about finding sweet potatoes. She went back and wrote a letter to her nephew, and worked until the afternoon without even eating.

"Miss, you should eat something first."

"Well, put it there first, I'll eat it later."

"You said this half an hour ago. The noodles are all clumping. I cooked a bowl!" Baoqin stood aside with a bowl of noodles in her hand, stomping her feet in anger: "It's just not long since you recovered from tuberculosis, and you're going to have gastrointestinal problems again, right!"

Tang Wanzhuang smiled: "Okay, put it there first, I really want to eat it, ah."

Baoqin finally couldn't hold it back: "I think you are deliberately pretending to be sick to seduce men!"

Tang Wanzhuang: "?"

The little maid was rolled into a ball and thrown out of the door with a whoosh, and she was still holding noodles in her hand.

Before the little maid landed, a strong body appeared in front of her, and a big hand stretched out to lift her up in the air.

Baoqin sat cross-legged in the air, staring at him angrily.

Zhao Changhe thought it was very cute, rubbed her head, put her on the ground, and reached out to take the noodles: "Let me do it, you go to rest."

Baoqin said angrily: "She has been with your broken new dynasty, and she is more tired than before. You are so good, you came last night, right, just to defile the palace... umm..."

Zhao Changhe covered her mouth with his hand, looking around with sweat on his forehead.

The staff of the Demon Suppression Division on the side lowered their heads and hurried past, pretending not to hear.

Zhao Changhe really regretted lifting her down, he should have let her fly all the way to the sea of ​​stars. It seems that Zhuque's method of dealing with Baoqin is the most correct. First, a set of silence will destroy this main C, and others will be vulnerable.

At this moment, Baoqin found that there were many people around, and she dared not say anything more. Zhao Changhe was too embarrassed to continue talking nonsense, and with a hot face, he took the noodles and went straight into the main hall of the Demon Suppression Division.

Tang Wanzhuang raised her head from the documents and looked at him with a smile, obviously she heard the noise outside.

Zhao Changhe froze his old face, and tried to be gentle, and put the noodles in front of her: "It's okay to throw away Baoqin, but how can you throw away the noodles too... Now everyone is short of food."

Seeing what this was, Tang Wanzhuang was directly amused: "If Baoqin heard it, I would come in and bite you to death."

Zhao Changhe sighed and said: "I didn't expect that you would be even busier in the new dynasty."

Tang Wanzhuang said: "There were not as many things as now... It's just that there were too few people who could work well together. It's tiring to do it alone, and it's very helpless. I can only watch many things happen. Now your majesty is also very attentive, which makes people more motivated and motivated... In fact, there are many things now, but it's only for a short period of time. If you can get through it, you will be much more comfortable in the future."

Zhao Changhe said: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"If the sweet potatoes you proposed to your majesty are really useful, it would be a great help... And your Sanjin proposal is indeed a good idea to save soldiers and food, although I doubt whether that woman can do it well... …”

“…You even doubt Zhuque’s underworld tactics?”

“It should be said that under my suppression, the Four Symbols Sect has not accomplished much in the past few years, and can only develop underground… Especially the so-called Suzaku Venerable, who has not accomplished much. Occasionally, you are the person involved, and your memory is embellished.”

Zhao Changhe suddenly wanted to laugh after hearing this. These two women are really interesting…

He didn’t say anything more about this. He picked up a handful of noodles with chopsticks, blew them, and handed them to Tang Wanzhuang’s mouth: “Ah~”

Tang Wanzhuang quickly glanced out the door. The hall that was originally crowded with people was now as quiet as a haunted house. They all ran away wisely.

In fact, this scene of running away is very embarrassing in itself, and I don’t know how much everyone imagined in their minds…Tang Wanzhuang’s face flushed, but she quickly leaned down and sucked the noodles on the chopsticks away.

My husband fed me noodles…

Zhao Changhe didn’t say anything more, just fed her mouthful by mouthful. Tang Wanzhuang was no longer independent, so she just let him feed her slowly, eating the noodles in small bites.

Baoqin poked her head out quietly, always feeling that the noodles she cooked inexplicably exuded a very rancid smell. We didn't add stinky tofu...

Anyway, the young lady just ate it honestly. It seems that the young lady has not grown up yet, and needs to be fed. Baoqin will try to feed her next time.

After finally feeding her the noodles, which normally only took her a moment to eat, she ate an incense stick. Tang Wanzhuang leaned in the man's arms contentedly and whispered, "It's great."

Baoqin felt that the young lady was hopeless. This man first defiled the palace when he came back. He came to see you in the afternoon, and you just fed her a few mouthfuls of noodles and said "It's great". I cooked the noodles, and I didn't see you say a word of praise.

What a stupid woman, and she still claims to be the first seat of wisdom.

"Bang!" Tang Wanzhuang suddenly waved her hand, and the door closed without wind. Baoqin hit her head against the door, and squatted down with her head in her hands, tears in her eyes.

Zhao Changhe laughed: "You bullied Baoqin again."

"Why, you feel bad because you didn't get to eat?"

"... No, I only feel bad for you."

Baoqin felt that life was bleak.

Tang Wanzhuang also laughed: "You... you can't trust your mouth now. Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Can't I just come to accompany you?"

"So you can't trust your mouth now." Tang Wanzhuang said leisurely: "You don't have the time or the mind to find anyone just for love, whether it's me or His Majesty and the Queen Mother."

Zhao Changhe was silent.

Tang Wanzhuang said: "But this is a good thing, I don't want you to come back just to ask me when I will fulfill my promise before leaving Beijing last time."

Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment, and his expression became strange.

He had forgotten what Tang Wanzhuang had promised him before he left Beijing last time. He remembered it after hearing this. Tang Wanzhuang said that as long as she came back safely, she would fight with Huangfu Qing on the couch for him to see... How could he forget this!

What's more tragic is that, given the current situation and Tang Wanzhuang's boast that "this is a good thing", he is embarrassed to ask her to fulfill this...

Seeing Zhao Changhe's regretful expression, Tang Wanzhuang laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, you'll have your chance in the future. I don't have time to deal with those now. There are a lot of things to do. If you want to help, I really need your help."

Zhao Changhe swallowed his anger and said: "Tell me, who to kill?"

"It's because there are too many people to kill. Under the thousand-year-old family politics, there are too few talent reserves outside of them. It was said that there would be an imperial examination before, but it hasn't been implemented yet... and even if the imperial examination is implemented, it will take a training process." Tang Wanzhuang said seriously: "We can't deal with so many people. Some of them must be re-employed. This good person, you will do it."
