Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

The next day.

The early dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The palace door is wide open.

All the civil and military officials walked into the palace and arrived outside the Jinluan Hall.

Following the royal road and according to the size of their official positions, all civil and military officials entered the Jinluan Hall one by one.

During the entry, all civil and military officials kept their heads slightly lowered, and were not allowed to talk, whisper, or make any noise.

There are special imperial officials who record the behavior of civil and military officials.

The entire process of entering the court was extremely solemn.

In the Jinluan Palace.

All civil and military officials lined up on both sides of the royal road, bowing their heads.

Zhou Chen wore a dragon robe, stepped on the exclusive royal road, and ascended to the court.

Zhou Chen was sitting on the dragon throne, looking down at the ministers.

"Long live your Majesty."

After Zhou Chen sat on the dragon chair, all civil and military officials knelt down to salute and shouted in unison.

"Flat body."

Zhou Chen's simple word "flat body" made all the civil and military officials feel an inexplicable tremble in their hearts.

These ministers can stand on this court, so they naturally know how to figure out the holy will. In the past, the emperor used to say the four words "all ministers are equal", but today the emperor only said the two words "equal body".

This is very wrong.

Especially the emperor's tone today seemed calm, but it revealed coldness.

Obviously.

The emperor is in a bad mood today.

I don’t know what happened, but it angered the emperor again.

In an instant, all the civil and military officials had figured out the emperor's mood.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All civil and military officials stood up carefully.

They didn't know what had angered His Majesty again, but they knew they had to be careful now.

When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses!

In the hearts of civil and military officials, they have long been deeply aware of the consequences of the emperor's anger.

Now, when they realized the coldness in the emperor's tone, all the officials in the court were trembling, because they were all afraid that the city gate would be on fire and that it would affect fish ponds like them.

Zhou Chen looked down at the civil and military officials and said slowly, "Today morning, I will not talk about other things. I want to talk to you dear friends about the people who have joined the world."

"Presumably all of you, dear friends, have heard of the man who joined the world!"

Zhou Chen glanced at the civil and military officials.

When all the officials heard this, they had different expressions.

For ordinary people, few people who are involved in the world may not know about it.

But for these officials in the court, it is no longer a secret that those who are involved in the world.

Basically, most officials already knew about the people who joined the world, and knew that outside the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a "Tianshan" that transcended the secular world.

Those people who have joined the world are rushing to visit the powerful families of all parties. This is no longer a secret among the upper classes of the Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, whether it is the officials in the court or the officials' families in various places, they all know the people who join the world.

"Could it be those worldly people who have offended His Majesty?"

All the officials were secretly guessing.

Zhou Chen looked at the officials and continued, "Thirteen aristocratic families like the Chen family in Yingchuan hired assassins to assassinate household officials and intercept and kill patron kings. All of you, dear friends, must already know about this!"

"I never expected that a wealthy family would be so bold as to hire assassins to assassinate court officials and intercept my prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Zhou Chen's cold voice echoed in the hall.

"And what I didn't expect is that behind this incident are not only the Yingchuan Chen family and other aristocratic families, but also the shadows of those who have joined the world."

"The reason why the Yingchuan Chen Family and other aristocratic families only dare to hire assassins to assassinate the officials of my court is because there are worldly people behind them. It was those worldly people who gave the Yingchuan Chen Family and other aristocratic families the confidence and courage to fight against our court. enemy."

"Dongchang has already interrogated the worldly people behind the Yingchuan Chen family. My dear friends, you can take a look at the confessions of those worldly people first."

Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Zhengchun who was standing next to him: "Cao Zhengchun, show the confessions of those people who have joined the world to all the ministers."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun sent the records of last night's interrogation to the officials.

None of the civil and military officials knew what kind of medicine Zhou Chen was selling in this gourd.

However, from Zhou Chen's words, the officials could tell that Zhou Chen seemed to be targeting not only the worldly people behind the Chen family in Yingchuan, but also all the worldly people.

All the ministers were a little confused as to what those worldly people had done to anger the emperor Zhou Chen.

They had to think that just because the assassination of the Chen family and others involved a few worldly people, the emperor became hostile to all worldly people.

The civil and military officials took turns to look at the confessions of those people who had joined the world.

After reading this confession, every minister's expression couldn't help but change.

When all the civil and military officials took turns to read the confession, the atmosphere among the officials became solemn.

Zhou Chen looked at the civil and military officials and said, "You have all read this confession, right? What do you think?"

All the civil and military officials looked at each other quietly, but no one said a word.

This confession is really shocking.

No one thought that those worldly people would actually have worldly ideas and want to carve up the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If this confession is true, then Dazhou may really usher in an unprecedented turbulent situation.

All the aristocratic families and forces from all over the world have people who have joined the world to visit, and even the four great families have people who have joined the world.

Based on this calculation, how many aristocratic families will be involved in this matter?

None of the civil and military officials dared to imagine it.

"how?"

"Don't you ladies have any opinions?"

Zhou Chen's eyes were calm, but his voice was a bit colder.

Although the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have gone through several purges, more than half of the officials are still from wealthy families, or have inextricable connections with wealthy families.

Zhou Chen didn't believe that these officials knew nothing about the purpose of those who joined the world.

"Your Majesty, these worldly people are plotting against our great Zhou Dynasty and want to carve up our great Zhou Dynasty."

"The general believes that we should immediately send out troops to encircle and suppress these people who have joined the world. We should investigate the wealthy families visited by those people who have joined the world. Anyone who makes any unusual move should be directly killed."

Huo Qubing stood up and said loudly.

After the war in Xirong, Huo Qubing returned to Luoyang and took charge of the Shenwu Guard.

As soon as Huo Qubing finished speaking, Li Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible."

"Right now, the wealthy families have not made any move. If His Majesty sends troops, he will directly force those wealthy families to rebel.

"When the time comes, together with the war, it will be out of control."

The Minister of War knew well that this matter would not necessarily involve many wealthy families.

Once the imperial court decrees to send troops, it will force these wealthy families to jump over the wall.

Originally, because of the previous series of actions of the imperial court against the wealthy families, these wealthy families had a lot of resentment towards the imperial court.

If, now, we were to investigate the wealthy families because of those worldly people, it would directly ignite the flames of these wealthy families and push these wealthy families completely to the opposite side.

Wang Yangming, the Minister of Punishment, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I am also opposed to sending troops."

"Those who join the world are not ordinary people. Once troops are sent out, it will cause a series of backlash."

"The most important thing is the power behind those people who join the world. We in the world cannot compete with it at all."

"Therefore, I think it would be better to ask the worldly people from the royal family to come forward first."

The Minister of Punishment was a little worried. If the imperial court sent troops, the Langxie family would definitely be the focus of the imperial court.

Zhou Chen listened to the opinions of these ministers and did not express his position. Instead, he looked at Xiao He who was standing in the first place on the left: "Minister Zuo, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"

Xiao He stepped out of the queue and bowed: "Your Majesty, the territory of Great Zhou is not allowed to be peered into."

"I believe that Your Majesty should issue an order to order all people who join the world to come to Luoyang Dongchang to note their identities. Anyone who refuses to comply will be identified as a traitor and troops will be sent to encircle and suppress them."

"At the same time, it is decreed that the wealthy families in the world are not allowed to have any contact with those who are in the world."

"Otherwise, he will be treated as a traitor."

Xiao He said sonorously and forcefully.

"Your Majesty, I object."

Zhou Xian, the Eight Wise King, could not help but stand out.

"Your Majesty, those who join the world are from Tianshan. There are strong people in Tianshan who transcend the world."

"If His Majesty decrees to encircle and suppress those people who are in the world, the forces behind those people who are in the world will definitely not give up."

"When the time comes, Tianshan sends strong men into the world, and I, the Great Zhou, will probably have a hard time resisting them."

"Your Majesty, please think again."

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian said anxiously.

If Zhou Chen issued an order to encircle and suppress all the people who joined the world, it would be equivalent to indirectly starting a war with the entire "Tianshan".

The few worldly people behind the main family and the Yingchuan Chen family are enough to make Da Zhou drink a pot.

If we attack all the people who have joined the world and face the entire Tianshan Mountains, will Da Zhou still have a way to survive?

Zhou Chen looked at the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian coldly: "Then what do the Eighth Emperors think we should do?"

"Should I just watch the whole Great Zhou being carved up, or should I personally give the whole Great Zhou to those who are worldly to divide it up?"

Zhou Chen's voice was extremely cold.

The expression of Zhou Xian, the Eighth Sage King, changed and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

"minister……"

Zhou Xian, the Eight Wise King, could not say a word.

Facing Zhou Chen's cold gaze, the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian felt as if his whole body was cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Preach my will."

Zhou Chen ignored the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian and stood up directly.

"It is decreed that all wealthy families must not come into contact with people who have joined the world, let people who have joined the world stay in their homes, and must not help people who have joined the world do anything."

"Violators will have their homes confiscated and prosecuted."

Zhou Chen's majestic voice echoed in the hall and reached the ears of every minister.

In fact, last night, Zhou Chen had secretly ordered the East Factory to start the layout.

Today's morning meeting was just a formality, formally issuing orders through the court to the wealthy families and those who were worldly.

…

Northern Xinjiang.

Zhenbeicheng.

Zhenbei General Mansion.

Lu Bu looked at the urgent secret order just sent from the East Factory in his hand, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Someone's coming."

"Immediately notify all generals to come to the General's Mansion to discuss matters."

After reading the secret decree, Lu Bu immediately shouted outside.

More than ten minutes later.

In the meeting hall.

Cao Xing, Wei Xu, Hao Meng, all the generals sat down in sequence.

Cao Xing and the others glanced at Lu Bu on the throne and guessed that something had happened and the general would urgently summon them to the general's mansion.

When Lu Bu saw that everyone had arrived, he stood up, looked at Cao Xing and the others, and said directly, "Your Majesty has decreed that the entire army of the Zhenbei Army should immediately prepare for war and investigate all the people who have joined the world in the entire northern Xinjiang."

"General, what happened?"

Cao Xing and the others all looked at Lu Bu in confusion.

Let the entire Zhenbei Army wait for the enemy. Is this preparing for war?

Lu Bu shook his head; "I don't know the specific situation."

"Just act according to His Majesty's will."

Lu Bu didn't know what happened.

However, Lu Bu guessed that this probably had something to do with those people who were in the world.

"Follow the order."

Cao Xing and the others all clasped their fists and said.

"I will leave Northern Xinjiang later. After I leave, you must all proceed with caution."

"Especially in matters in the military, nothing can go wrong, do you understand?"

Lu Bu looked at Cao Xing and the others sternly and warned.

"Don't worry, General, I'll understand."

Cao Xing and the others said in unison.

…

Outside Dongyan Pass.

Dongdu City.

Government office lobby.

Zhao Yun also received an urgent secret order from the factory guard.

Looking at the secret decree in his hand, Zhao Yun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The Lord of Dongdu Palace, who was sitting on the main seat, saw Zhao Yun's expression and couldn't help but ask, "General Zhao, does the court have any instructions?"

Zhao Yun put away the secret order and raised his eyes to look at the Palace Master; "Palace Master, I have to leave Dongdu for a few days."

"oh?"

The master of the palace looked serious, "General Zhao, has something happened?"

Zhao Yun shook his head; "I don't know the specific situation. Your Majesty has sent a decree that I have to return to the pass for a few days."

Zhao Yun didn't say much. The contents of the secret decree could not be disclosed to anyone.

"After I leave, the stability of the Eastern Capital City will depend on the Palace Master alone. Baima Yicong, I will stay."

"If the master of the palace encounters any trouble, you can mobilize the white horse Yi Cong."

Zhao Yun said to the Lord of Dongdu Palace.

"Don't worry, General Zhao. With me here, there won't be any problems in the Eastern Capital City."

The head of the Dongdu Palace knew the secret decree, but Zhao Yun couldn't elaborate on it, so he didn't ask any more questions.

However, the Palace Master is not worried about the stability of the Eastern Capital City. With the palace guards and the White Horse Yi Cong, it is more than enough to guard the Eastern Capital City.

"Okay, then I'll go make arrangements for the guards first."

Zhao Yun said no more, stood up and left the government office.

Not only Lu Bu and Zhao Yun received the secret order from the factory guards, but Taishi Ci who was guarding the southern capital city and Hua Xiong who was guarding the western capital city also received the secret orders from the factory guards at the same time.

Taishi Ci and Hua Xiong also made arrangements and left their guarding place directly.

At the same time, the armies at the borders on all four sides also entered a state of preparation for war.

As long as an order is given, the armies at the four borders will instantly send their troops south and north, pointing their swords at the hinterland of the Zhou Dynasty states.
