The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 749 Yo~
After dealing with these officials, Zhao Yanxun still has a lot to do.

The first thing he had to do was to let the troops in the city withdraw one after another.

Now there are 10,000+ troops in the city, all crowded inside will only cause trouble, and withdrawing most of them to rest outside the city is beneficial to restore order.

He had to visit every storehouse, and every yamen, to straighten out all the rules and regulations.

For Zhao Yanxun, after the battle is won, it is time for him to be busy.

As the government resumed operations one after another, the order in the city was gradually restored, at least the hearts of the people had settled down.

In a certain square in the south of the capital, outside a very ordinary small courtyard, a large number of soldiers were stationed outside, and a large number of people were watching from afar.

At the entrance of the dilapidated courtyard, there is an extraordinarily gorgeous cape, with dragon and phoenix patterns embroidered on the bright yellow brocade.

In the courtyard, Su Chuyun and Cao Yunhui stood at the door very respectfully, watching a little boy running back and forth.

But at this moment, Concubine Duan herself was sitting in the house, looking at the entrance of the alley in the distance from the door.

"Auntie, let's go first, this kid's nephew will be guarded and handed over to his grandma!"

At this time, only Cao Yunhui dared to speak.

Concubine Duan sighed, on the surface she was Shuanzi's grandmother Liu, but in fact she was waiting for her own son.

It's a pity that now, it's almost noon, and Concubine Duan couldn't wait for anyone, so her heart has faded.

Three years ago, Zhao Yanxun took the initiative to ask to become a feudal clan, which made Concubine Duan feel that there was a problem with the relationship between mother and child.

Through her analysis during this period, Concubine Duan felt that the reason her relationship with her son had deteriorated was because her mother was too strong and never cared about her son's real thoughts.

In fact, as an "ancient person", it is unprecedented for Concubine Duan to think of this level in the parent-child relationship.

But she was still wrong in her analysis. The so-called poor relationship was not because of how good she was as a mother, but because her son's soul had changed.

At this moment, after hearing Cao Yunhui's persuasion, Concubine Duan had no intention of waiting any longer, so she waved to Shuanzi.

The child immediately ran to Concubine Duan, staring at her with clear eyes.

"Shuanzi, it seems that we won't be able to wait for your grandma!" Concubine Duan sighed.

In the past two days there was great chaos in the city, Liu Shi quietly went out to inquire about the news in the middle of the night, and has not come back until now, which really worried Concubine Duan.

In any case, she never expected that in these two months or so, she would actually have friendship with an ordinary old woman.

Concubine Duan stood up, took out a package from the cabinet beside her, and handed it to Shuan Zi.

"Take it and eat it!"

When the children got the snacks, they were naturally very happy, laughing and jumping around the room.

Concubine Duan walked out of the door, and the soldiers standing inside and outside the courtyard, led by Su Chuyun and Cao Yunhui, knelt down on the ground in unison.

The one in front of me is the biological mother of King Yong Zhao Yanxun, and the future sacred and noble empress dowager.

How can they, who are loyal to King Yong, not respect Concubine Duan.

"Auntie, get on the sedan chair!" Cao Yunhui said very respectfully.

Looking back at the residence, Concubine Duan walked into the sedan chair.

When she sat down in the sedan chair, her whole demeanor changed suddenly, and she became the figure who was fighting in the harem.

After about half an hour, Concubine Duan was carried to the Chengtian Gate, in front of which was the Da'an Gate, the main gate of the imperial palace.

Opening the curtain, I saw the soldiers standing on the left and right, and they all knelt down when they saw the sedan chair coming.

So much so that Concubine Duan remembered the situation when she was driven out of the palace, and at the same time reminded her of a person.

"That bitch Li, is he still alive?"

Hearing the question in the sedan chair, Cao Yunhui did not dare to neglect, and immediately replied: "Auntie, Mrs. Li is still alive, and is now under house arrest in Yanshou Palace!"

Hearing this, Concubine Duan sneered.

"Immediately send an order to order all the concubines in the palace to kneel outside the Xianfu Gate!"

"Yes!"

Xianfu Palace is the former residence of Concubine Duan.

Those people drove her out from there back then, and today she will make them kneel at Xianfumen to welcome her back.

Everyone in the harem is under house arrest. To avoid suspicion, eunuchs guard everyone.

There are many eunuchs in Ouchi, and they are all loyal to the emperor, provided that the emperor is still alive.

Now that the emperor is gone, these people who have lost their roots are naturally loyal to Zhao Yanxun, the new "emperor".

Most of the civil servants who read the books of sages didn't even have the idea of ​​serving the country with death. It was natural for these eunuchs to submit to Zhao Yanxun.

Concubine Duan's order was quickly conveyed to Lin Quan, who immediately put down other matters in his hands and took people to arrange it himself.

So the originally quiet harem immediately became jumpy.

The concubines of Emperor Tai'an and Emperor Jingping, including the Li family in Yanshou Palace, were all driven out of Xianfu Gate one after another.

"Kneel down, all kneel down!"

"Let you kneel down!"

At this moment, more than 30 concubines were reprimanded to kneel down one after another, all of them had expressions of panic on their faces.

"Let you kneel down, didn't you hear me?"

A eunuch pointed to Li Shi, the empress dowager who was once respected.

But being stared at by Mrs. Li, the eunuch seemed to lack confidence at the moment, and after being stared for a while longer, he became short of breath.

"The Ai family is the late emperor's empress, the empress dowager, what are you, you dare to make me kneel down?"

Although he knew that his scolding was useless, Li still tried his best to maintain his dignity in front of these servants.

Choked by Li Shi's few words, the eunuch didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only look at his companion for help.

"The empress dowager? You shit empress dowager!" In the crowd, someone was rude to Mrs. Li.

This person, also surnamed Li, was a nobleman during Emperor Tai'an's reign and the biological mother of King Guang Zhao Yanyuan.

His son was forced to join the feudal clan, and his life and death were hanging by a thread. Li Guiren hated the emperor Zhao Weilong to death, and he was also full of hatred for the Li family.

Now that the palace servants were kneeling outside the Xianfu gate, Li Guiren's head turned a little faster, and he roughly guessed what would happen next.

So when Li Shi showed her strength, she dared to come out and contradict, and took the opportunity to give Concubine Duan a certificate of honor.

"Sister is right. I think she is dozing off and hasn't woken up. I'm afraid she's talking in her sleep right now. She's still too empress...hahaha!"

The second person who spoke was Emperor Tai'an's concubine Jing Hu, who was the biological mother of Prince Heng Zhao Yansong.

Not to be outdone, Mrs. Li immediately cursed: "You bastards, it's not your turn to speak in the harem right now!"

"Stop arguing, kneel... kneel!"

"Press her to the ground!"

Seeing Concubine Duan's sedan chair approaching, the eunuchs who were close to Mrs. Li panicked, and then used brute force to push the "Empress Dowager" to her knees.

"Presumptuous... against you!" Li Shi was furious.

At this moment, he hated himself for being cowardly, for not having the guts to end his life when the Yong army entered the city, that's why he was humiliated at this moment.

"Don't let her talk nonsense, stop her mouth!"

Without hesitation, these eunuchs directly blocked Li Shi's mouth.

At this moment, Concubine Duan changed into the chariot sedan chair, and saw the situation outside Xianfu Gate from a long distance away.

Li Shi's incompetent rage also reached her ears, which made her feel extremely happy.

"Kowtow to see the empress!"

Dozens of eunuchs at the scene all knelt on the ground, facing Concubine Duan extremely respectfully.

The chariot sedan landed, and Concubine Duan, dressed in commoner clothes, smiled confidently at this moment.

Taking steps, Concubine Duan slowly walked in front of Mrs. Li.

Li Shi wanted to raise her head, but several eunuchs tightly controlled her, making her only stare at Concubine Duan's shoes.

"Yo... Isn't this our Empress Dowager!"

"Tsk tsk tsk...how did it become like this?"
