Iron Dynasty

Outside of the number, outside of the number, today there are remnants of the parliament that are chasing the empire, and others like Ge Yiren intend to rebel. On the occasion of the reappearance of the empire's crisis, the emperor called on the people of the empire to work with the court to eradicate the traitors and defend the empire.

The eastern sky was slightly pale, and the crisp voice of the newsboy had already sounded in the streets and alleys.

Hearing the news boy shouting, passersby stopped to pay for the newspaper.

The big movement in Qingzhou City yesterday frightened many people and made people speculate. Now that the emperor himself wrote an article to clarify the ins and outs, they were quite impatient to know what happened.

I didn't expect that the Merchant Council has been eradicated for so many years, and now the centipede is still dead and not stiff.

Before the breakfast stall, a worker who was eating breakfast and preparing to go to the factory sighed.

There are many workers like him sitting beside him. They all work in the industrial area and come here to eat bean curd and fried dough sticks almost every morning.

In my opinion, the main crisis this time is not the merchant council. After all, the merchant council is nothing more than rootless duckweed, and it can't make a fuss. The real problem is the former cabinet minister Ge Yicheng. They want to It's usurping power, and it's much more powerful than the Merchant Council. Another worker said.

No, otherwise the emperor would not let the whole world fight against it together. Someone answered.

This scene is a bit familiar. Ten years ago, the emperor eliminated the six-state nobles in this way. More than ten years have passed, and now the same crisis is reappearing. It seems that there is no sword and sword, and this matter cannot be calmed down. It was a worker in his forties.

Brother Zhang, you are an authentic native of Qingzhou. Was the incident more than ten years ago really that terrible? a young worker asked.

The middle-aged man who was questioned showed a look of recollection, It's scary, it can be said that blood flowed like a river back then, and the lotus pond outside Qingzhou city was dyed red with blood.

When the others heard this, they showed panicked expressions. They all came from other cities and settled down in Qingzhou. They had heard about the cleaning up of the six-state nobles, but they had never experienced it.

But when the middle-aged man said this, they seemed to be in the scene, and they couldn't help but feel chills on their backs.

Seeing that everyone was a little worried, the middle-aged man known as Brother Zhang suddenly laughed, and he said, What are you worrying about, this matter is not on your head, the unlucky ones are just those traitors.

After a pause, he pointed to the last paragraph of the manuscript and said, Did you see this sentence? The emperor asked the militia to lead the people to arrest the traitors. It is estimated that the empire will move like the six states of the past, and it will be everywhere. Set card, everyone is staring at strangers, and not even a fly can escape from the palm of the emperor.

When everyone heard the words, they sighed again for a while, and someone said: Since it is the emperor's order, we must obey. If the emperor hadn't fought against everyone's opinions and benefited the people these years, we would not have the good days we have today, and now some people want to make When the empire returned to the original country of Great Yu, I was the first to quit.

I don't do it either, it's been a long time, and I can't bear to let those literati-doctors ride on top of their heads to pee. Someone shouted.

In this case, let's cooperate with the emperor to catch all these traitors, and give the empire a bright future. Let's go, let's go to the factory, and gather other people to search for people from house to house.

Let's go, let's go together! the others jeered.

Qingzhou University.

The students who read the newspaper were filled with righteous indignation. Since the reform of the empire, they have represented the power of the reform of the empire.

In the face of Ge Yiren and others trying to bring them back to the Dark Ages, they were naturally unhappy.

Therefore, after the news in the newspaper spread in the school, the students organized themselves to get out of the academy in Qingzhou to promote the conspiracy of the Merchant Council and denounce the despicableness of Ge Yiren and others.

As time passed, this sentiment spread in cities such as Dengzhou, Jinling, Suzhou, etc., and the entire empire was vigorously arresting the traitors on the list.

Many thieves who tried to escape had nowhere to go and were quickly apprehended and brought to justice.

It's just that in the process of arresting, there are also people who avenge their personal revenge, and many old nobles who are not together with Ge Yi ginseng are also out of luck, some are cursed, and some are beaten.

This situation quickly frightened the old aristocrats who were quite critical of Xiao Ming on weekdays. Thinking of what Xiao Ming did more than ten years ago, they all went up to express their loyalty to the royal family, and at the same time claimed to support the rules promulgated by Xiao Ming. decree.

However, the old aristocrats were frightened, and Pang Yukun was also very frightened. Originally, he was going to wait for the old aristocracy in Chang'an, with Ge Yi and Luo Hong as the main body, with the mentality of watching a play. .

So he hurriedly found Xiao Ming.

Your Majesty, with the help of the people of the whole country, most of the remnants of the Merchant Council have been brought to justice, and some of the remnants have fled to the sea. Even if they don't die at sea, it's hard to say how many people will be left in Europe. The old nobles and Ge Yiren were all arrested in unison, and those who tried to act as fodder were also cleaned up, and the following officials saw that this matter should be closed, otherwise it will only be counterproductive.

Pang Yukun looked frightened.

Xiao Ming was looking at the information provided by the secret guards from all over the country. Pang Yukun was in a hurry about this matter, but he was not in a hurry, because he was controlling the development of the situation from the beginning to the end.

And the secret guard is his invisible hand that controls the situation and acts as the leader, so he can be said to be referring to and fighting where.

For what the secret guard could not control, he immediately dispatched the guards to control it.

In the same way, generally speaking, he did not let the matter get out of control, and at the same time achieved the effect he wanted.

The papers sent by the old nobles in Chang'an are proof that after this incident, they basically understand that the era of their willful actions is over.

From now on, you can live comfortably. If you want to do things, you must carefully weigh them.

You are a step late. I have already sent the manuscript to the newspaper. Tomorrow will announce that all the criminals have been arrested, and this matter is over.

Xiao Ming said lightly.

Pang Yukun heaved a sigh of relief, It turns out that the emperor had already prepared to order, so I can rest assured.

After a pause, he continued: Your Majesty, Niu Ben and Luo Quan have arrived in Qingzhou by train for several days. In a few days, it is estimated that the commanders of other major military regions will arrive on time. This is about Luo Hong...

Xiao Ming said: The Luo family has proved their loyalty, but Luo Hong made a big mistake. I must not tolerate it. Otherwise, how can I set an example? This time I can only make Old General Luo sad.

Pang Yukun sighed, and he was not happy. After all, Luo Hong also made great contributions during the battle between the feudal kings.
