After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

There was a dark night above the head, and an anxious atmosphere lingered around. Those present were all officials of the sixth rank or above in the capital, each standing stiffly. Four imperial censors were patrolling on both sides, looking for inappropriate behavior among the courtiers.

Pei Jiaoran stood with his head bowed, thoughts spreading in his mind. Her intuition told her that no one would be able to leave Tai Chi Palace easily tonight.

As Shen Cejun moved around, the sound of the friction of armor reached his ears.

Not long after, the door of Tai Chi Palace opened. The ministers raised their heads, and Pei Jiaoran also looked up.

I saw Jin Shang, dressed in a yellow robe, slowly approaching, surrounded by his chamberlains. He lifted up his robe and sat on the throne, looking at the courtiers below with an indifferent expression. He was followed by Zhou Lingzi, the deputy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Zhang Rang's confidant, and the prince. In addition, there are East and West Privy Envoys standing in front of the king, and further down are the left and right lieutenants of the Shence Army and the left and right central guards.

Pei Jiaoran's eyes darkened as he looked at Jinshang who was surrounded by eunuchs.

"Kneel down—" Zhou Lingzi flicked his brush and glanced at the dark clouds under his eyes, his eyes showing disdain. These gold and silver fish bags in purple robes and scarlet robes usually have nothing to do with their internal servants and target them everywhere. But in the face of absolute imperial power, one does not have to surrender. But when these people come together, the color is really weird.

Upon hearing this, all the ministers lifted their robes and knelt down, kowtowed, and shouted long live the mountain.

The difference between the monarch and his ministers lies in their status. No matter how powerful you are in the political hall, you still have to kneel before the imperial power.

The ministers knelt down. Zhou Lingzi's cold voice came, "Your Majesty visited Dajiao Temple today and asked Immortal Lu about his practice of Taoism. Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave, he was assassinated by the path in the temple. Your Majesty is still the son of a real dragon, and you have been blessed by him. He also has Zhang Guixuan, your eunuch. We were able to protect each other and we were able to avoid this difficulty." He paused, "His Majesty Long Yan was furious and has locked Xiao Dao into Shence Prison for interrogation. In order to prevent the traitors from escaping, the Shence Army has been stationed at your homes. Your Majesty In consideration of your hard work, I specially allow you to stay in the palace. After the Shence Army finds out the truth, you can go home on your own."

Listening to Zhou Lingzi's arrogant tone, the officials were in an uproar. Someone had already stood up and walked forward, but before they had even taken a few steps, they were roughly stopped by the Shence Army. He was pushed to the ground and beaten severely.

Raising his head slightly to look at Jin Shang, who was sitting on the throne with a piercing expression, Pei Jiaoran clenched his hands hanging by his sides into fists.

The ministers were furious, and Zhou Lingzi's face became more mocking, "Shilang Li, are you dissatisfied with His Majesty's decree?"

Li Shilang, whose name was called, was appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs. Hearing Zhou Lingzi's words, he looked at Wang Qiao, the admonishing doctor who was beaten to death, and knelt down, "I hope your majesty will accept your advice. Don't follow the example of the previous emperor Ling Emperor and Qi Empress who listened to the eunuchs and caused chaos." Ancestral Sheji!"

"How dare you! How dare you compare me to those two people? You are so brave." Jinshang said angrily.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Seeing this, Zhou Lingzi hurriedly said: "Lieutenant Tian, ​​why don't you take this person down quickly! Someone must have taught you such rebellious words."

Wang Wei, who was kneeling in front, stood up and stopped in front of Li Shilang. He looked at Lieutenant Tian calmly.

"Ms. Wang, what are you doing? Are you planning to protect these traitors?" Lieutenant Tian pointed the horizontal knife directly at Wang Yu's throat.

Li Shilang, who was blocked by Wang Yu, straightened his sleeves and walked forward, "How can your Majesty use such a traitor again? If things continue like this, the country will be in danger! I sincerely ask your Majesty to kill this traitor quickly to revitalize the court."

Being so provoked by Mr. Li, Lieutenant Tian swung his sword and was about to cut him down. However, he was stopped by Zhou Lingzi, who leaned over to listen to His Majesty's whisper. Not long after, he stepped down the imperial steps and stood in front of the ministers.

"Your Majesty has an order. Li Shilang disobeyed the emperor and undermined the power of heaven, so he was killed with a stick in front of the Chengtian Gate. You are specially allowed to go and see him off, in order to maintain the friendship of our colleagues for many years."

Sending off? Full camaraderie?

It's clearly a threat! The implication is: "If you dare to make any disobedient remarks, you will end up like Li Shilang. The principle of killing chickens to scare monkeys is not unknown to you."

Under the instruction of Lieutenant Tian, ​​four Shence troops escorted Li Shilang to Chengtian Gate. The ministers consciously made way for him, and those who were friendly with him sent Li Shilang away with indignant eyes.

But Li Shilang smiled all the way and walked forward with his head held high, showing no fear on his face.

After Li Shilang was taken away, he drove back to Tai Chi Hall today. The ministers were driven by the Shence Army to Chengtianmen to see off Li Shilang.

The Shence Army followed Zhou Lingzi's arrangement and roughly dragged the ministers into a circle, surrounding Li Shilang who was pinned to the ground by the Shence Army and beaten with a stick. In this way, regardless of official rank or not, everyone can see the process of torture.

Lieutenant Tian patrolled in front of the ministers with a proud look on his face, guarding against anyone leaving.

The Shence Army is not a county official, they are all strong and powerful. Every blow was fought with great force, and soon blood seeped out of Li Shilang's clothes, while Li Shilang only stared at the Chengtian Gate, as if he was looking through it at Jin Shang in the Tai Chi Hall.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Taizong Wen once said: Using copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; using people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses; using the past as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall! I heard that your Majesty is knowledgeable about history, and the disaster of eunuchs is especially in front of you!" Li Shilang Mou Zujin shouted loudly.

However, as soon as his voice fell, Shence Army increased the intensity of his execution. The scream was mute in Li Shilang's throat, and his back was bloody and bloody. The ministers couldn't bear to look at it and looked away one after another.

After burning the incense, blood pooled under Li Shilang's body. Only then did Shence Jun, who was executing the execution, stop his hand and leaned over to feel his breath.

"Lieutenant Lieutenant, the traitorous minister is dead." The executioner said with cupped hands.

Wen Yantian, Lieutenant Tian walked over to check it out personally, stood up with a look of disgust, kicked Li Shilang's body, "Drag this traitor down and burn it, and scatter the ashes into Qujiang River."

"Here."

Walking in front of the ministers with his hands behind his back, Lieutenant Tian said in a cold voice: "Everyone will go to his private residence to rest. Shence Army will give you an explanation."

After saying this, Lieutenant Tian waved his hand, and the Shence Army came forward to escort the ministers to the government offices of each department.

Even though the ministers were quite dissatisfied with this move, the Shence Army was right behind them and no one dared to say a word. I went back to the offices of each company with a dull head.

On the way back to the Yushitai, Pei Jiaoran looked at the Jinwu Guard station and pursed his red lips.

There were obviously more Shence troops stationed at Jinwu Guard than in other places, and many of them were even escorted out and walked into the gloomy and lonely palace roads.

"Pei Fuduan, Lieutenant Tian has already told me. If you are not comfortable living here, or if you are missing something, you can always tell the general to take care of it." When Pei Jiaoran was about to enter the Yushitai, the ten generals of the Shence Army bowed and said .

Listening to his voice, Pei Jiaoran stopped and said, "Thank you, Lieutenant Tian. Since it is His Majesty's oral instructions, how can I feel uncomfortable?"

She had an affair with Lieutenant Tian because of Sun Dun's incident. Even if Zhang Rang suppresses Lieutenant Tian and prevents him from retaliating against him, Lieutenant Tian will stumble secretly if he fails to protect him. It's just that this method of sowing discord is too despicable.

The tenth general of the Shence Army was shocked when he heard this, and pushed her in with a cold face. Then he slammed the door of the Yushitai.
