Chapter 206
"I understand..."
Shen Yuqing lowered his eyebrows, walked out of the Cining Palace, and returned to the Shangshufang.
The Prime Minister Zhang Taizhong stood respectfully at the door.
Shen Yuqing glanced at him, walked in silently, and Zhang Taizhong followed.
Seeing Shen Yuqing's red and swollen face.
Zhang Taizhong looked helpless and asked: "Your Majesty, did the Queen Mother attack you?"
"Besides her, who else dared to attack me?"
Shen Yuqing was equally helpless.
Zhang Taizhong smiled and said: "After all, she is my mother. Please don't worry about it. The Queen Mother is also for your own good."
"What about you? Have you ever thought about retreat?" Shen Yuqing asked.
"Since I followed Your Majesty in the Prince's Mansion, I have already thought of a way out. Please don't worry, Your Majesty."
"This time, I just didn't consider Zhang Ci and was slightly inferior to her."
"Your Majesty, please read these advice carefully in the future. I know what to do next."
As he spoke, Zhang Taizhong took out a memorial from his sleeve.
The content is the planning and arrangement for Dayun in the next 50 years, in order to ensure the long-term prosperity of Dayun.
When Shen Yuqing saw this, her eyes suddenly became red.
"Your Majesty, I don't have time to do it step by step. This time, I am here to solve the monster tribe disaster for Your Majesty once and for all."
"I admit that my means are biased."
"I will apologize to Prince Yu in person. You don't have to worry too much. Just wait for a good result."
After speaking, Zhang Taizhong knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
Bang...
Zhang Taizhong said calmly: "I will take my leave now, Your Majesty, take care."
Shen Yuqing held the dragon case and looked at this old friend and minister who had accompanied him since the time of the crown prince.
Or the master.
Step by step, he walked away, and the scarlet official robe was getting farther and farther away.
Shen Yuqing's lips trembled and her nose was sour.
"Zhang Taizhong, you want to die for the country."
After leaving, the chief minister of Dayun first returned to the cabinet.
He took out dozens of evidences and asked someone to send them to the literati families in the fourteen states of Dayun.
These evidences were related to those Confucian saints and some high-ranking officials in the court.
After the court meeting the next day.
Because the evidences were revealed, the five deputy ministers in the cabinet were all dismissed, and many of their related party members were also imprisoned.
In the cabinet, there was only Zhang Taizhong.
He knew he was going to die.
After his death, it would inevitably bring great turmoil to the court. It turned out that most of these colleagues would interfere and form an opposition to the imperial power.
Then, while there is still time, eliminate them one by one.
At the same time, the production of evidence of guilt has hit many Confucian saints and those literati families, and the power to execute them has been transferred to the hands of the imperial power.
Only in this way can the internal situation be stable.
Shen Yuqing can promote more talented people to the palace.
The anger of the military officer group will also disappear, and the soldiers on the front line will not have to worry about being calculated again.
Next, it is Zhang Taizhong himself.
On this day, the court was turbulent, but Zhang Taizhong returned to his mansion calmly.
He has no wife, no children, and his parents have passed away.
There is only an old servant in the family.
Zhang Taizhong exchanged the hundreds of taels of silver he had accumulated into silver notes and gave a customs clearance document to the old servant.
"Old man, pack up and go back to your hometown to retire. I'm leaving."
The old servant asked in confusion: "My lord, where are you going?"
"To a place that everyone dreams of."
"I understand."
The old servant packed up and left Zhang's house without looking back.
It was on this night.
Shen Yuze was about to arrive in Haojing and was ambushed by a man outside the city.
There were six people in the group, and they attacked him seriously.
When the man's mask was removed.
Shen Yuze was shocked.
"Zhang Taizhong? Is it you?"
Zhang Taizhong's mouth was bleeding uncontrollably, and he smiled and said: "Prince Yu, thank you very much. I only need your sword to ascend."
Sitting in Wenhai for ten years, Zhang Taizhong has already tempered his Wenhai realm to the third level of Tianren realm.
In the end, he and Wudao have the same goal.
Shen Yuze was a little surprised and asked, "Why do you do this?"
Before returning to Haojing, he just wanted to overthrow Zhang Taizhong, but he didn't expect that the Prime Minister of Dayun would ask for death.
Zhang Taizhong explained the reason.
"I am a Confucian saint who wants to ascend to heaven."
"It has been delayed until today, and it can't be delayed any longer."
"Originally, I thought of using you to kill the Demon Emperor, and then help His Majesty repel the demons, and then ascend to heaven."
"But now it is meaningless, noIf I die earlier, I can also do you a favor."
"In the future, everyone will know that Zhang Taizhong is a treacherous minister who seeks fortune, and Prince Yu is a wise king who kills treacherous ministers."
"The war with the demons depends on you."
"Come on, stab me with the sword again, and I will be free! ”
Zhang Taizhong wanted to die.
How could Shen Yuze not help him?
He took the Dragon Spine Sword in his own hand and stabbed it into Zhang Taizhong's heart.
Then, a ray of light floated out of his body and rushed into the sky.
Shen Yuze could see that the light turned into a white-clothed immortal, who stepped into the gate of heaven with a graceful stride.
What was left in this world was just a lifeless body.
The people around him were all angry.
After this sword, they all respected the Prime Minister of Dayun.
The body was also taken back to Haojing by Shen Yuze.
Overnight, the story of Shen Yuze beheading the treacherous minister Zhang Taizhong spread throughout Haojing.
The next day, at the court meeting, Shen Yuqing was furious. In front of all the civil and military officials, he deprived Zhang Taizhong of all his honors during his lifetime and reported to Dayun. The Fourteen Continents issued an order to demolish all the temples built for Zhang Taizhong.
But he was given a posthumous title that made people feel very contradictory - Jingzhong.
At the court meeting, Shen Yuqing reappointed the cabinet members according to the list left by Zhang Taizhong before his death. One chief minister and five deputy ministers were all pro-war factions in the court. The pro-peace faction completely stopped after this court meeting.
Shen Yuze knew the inside story.
Now it's good that Zhang Taizhong helped him before his death and cleared all the obstacles in the court in one go.
Afterwards, Shen Yuqing did not blame Shen Yuze.
No one was wrong in this incident, only Shen Yuqing's mind was wrong.
The two brothers walked in the imperial garden.
Shen Yuqing also joked: "Yuze, you came back in vain."
"It's not in vain. Beiliangzhou is extremely short of manpower. It can't be done with just those tens of thousands of people. "Shen Yuze said.
Shen Yuqing nodded slightly.
"Zhang Taizhong has thought about it for you. The meeting in Wenhai has not ended yet, and many sects will go to resist the invasion of the demon tribe."
"The remnants of Fang Dewu have also been integrated by Zhao Bi. If you count carefully, you should have 200,000 people in your hands."
"In addition, I will transfer another 100,000 elite troops from Shuzhou to Longxizhou as a preparation."
