After amnesia, I fell in love with my old enemy

"...Funan, Liugao, Danzhou, and other 27 cities still belong to the Wanmen League. In addition, the imperial court is not allowed to restrict the recruitment of disciples from all the sects of the Wanmen League. The scope of the winter test of Qingcheng Jianmen, It should be extended to all sects of Dayan. All the land confiscated during the Sangtian reform will be returned, and the imperial court should compensate the Wanmen League with 600 million taels of silver for the delay in farming..."

What was written later, Che Shanxue didn't read any more.

There was a half-smile expression on his face, and he silenced all the people in the hall.Only Che Yuanwen, who was sitting on the main seat, took the letter from him and read it carefully, his face became darker as he read it.

After reading the last item, Che Yuanwen slapped the letter on the desk with a snap.

"How unreasonable!" He shouted angrily, "I haven't asked them to return the silver that was stolen from the people these days!"

Compared with when Che Shanxue stopped and no one dared to speak, when Che Yuanwen's angry words fell, immediately the palace officials and officials asked him not to get angry and take care of himself, expressing their loyalty to the point that Che Yuanwen didn't want to hear it at all. The place made the young new emperor dumbfounded.

After these days, he already understood that his reprimands were useless.Fortunately, after continuously participating in government affairs and accumulating experience, he can occasionally make some eye-catching remarks. The more times Che Yuanwen sees, the more people pay attention to his opinions.Such daily progress is enough for Che Yuanwen to be happy.

The civil and military officials also had a lot of discussions about the new emperor. Regarding Che Shanchang, who was uncompromising, and Che Hongyong, who was irritable and irritable, Che Yuanwen was really a gentle and elegant emperor.

Although the officials of the first rank and second rank still treated Che Yuanwen in a perfunctory manner, many young reformist officials gradually developed a good impression of the new emperor, and they were willing to answer his questions in detail.

At the same time, their views on how to govern the world are mixed in.

Once or twice, Che Yuanwen didn't find something wrong, and three times or four times, Che Yuanwen couldn't find it.It would be fine if these views were justified, but the views of young officials all seem to be good, but in fact there are contradictions or loopholes that cannot be circumvented. Husbands and friends compared.

But Che Yuanwen still listened carefully, because Che Shanxue told him that sitting in this position, he must listen to requests from anyone anywhere as much as possible.

As for how to distinguish from these requirements which ones should be seriously considered and which ones should be thrown on the ground and stepped on, Che Yuanwen can only understand it by himself.

Now, in the face of countless flatterers who don't really care, Che Yuanwen can only wave his hands helplessly.

The letter from the leader of the rebel army was not the only content in today's small court meeting, which excluded most of the officials who did not do practical work. Since an hour ago, they have discussed the recent city defense arrangements in turn, and the problem of too much damage to the weapons and armor of the imperial army , food storage and subsequent food distribution, followed by a letter from the rebels, were the corpses in the tunnel below the palace.

The newly promoted commander of the imperial army reported that they spent three days and still only cleared a small part of the tunnel.If you want to speed up, you can only speed up by withdrawing some of the people who went out of the city to protect the people in the suburbs of Beijing.

Now the people are the most important thing. Che Yuanwen discussed with the officials for a while, and seeing that Che Shanxue did not express any opinions during the whole process, he decided to maintain the original speed for cleaning the underground secret passage.

They discussed one by one in this way, and it was already midnight when it was over.

The retiring officials walked out with dizzy eyes. Before they could step out of the threshold of the main hall, they saw a young eunuch walking quickly, standing outside the door and shouting: "My lord, my lord! The rebel leader Bi Zhai is dead!" !"

Many people were taken aback when they heard the words, and felt that they had auditory hallucinations.As soon as the little eunuch entered the hall, he happily repeated the news.

"Bi thief is dead!"

This news stunned Che Yuanwen, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Che Shanxue, and found that his grandfather, the third emperor, was not surprised at all.

At this moment, the little eunuch who was kneeling under His Highness took a breath, and could finally tell the news in detail.

He said loudly: "Not long ago, Bi Zei was assassinated and killed in the tent of the rebel camp. Now the rebel camp is in chaos, and many rebels have already fled!"

Che Shanxue: "Commander Zhang."

The commander of the forbidden army hurriedly clasped his fists in response.

Che Shanxue: "Why are you still here?"

Commander Zhang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said his goodbyes, and then directly ran out of the city with his lightness kung fu.

Che Shanxue glanced at the other stunned people again, hating iron for not becoming steel: "Why do you all have nothing to do now?"

Everyone was scattered like birds.

Whether inside or outside the palace, tonight is probably a sleepless night for most people.

The imperial army and the city guard fought hard and won a big victory.Che Shanxue also stayed in the palace, but he didn't intervene much whether it was the military situation or appeasing the people, gathering the wounded and managing the prisoners.

Just standing there, he is the backbone of everyone.With him watching from behind, no matter how tired they are, everyone will try their best to do their best.

When dawn broke, the sounds of fighting outside the city gradually stopped.Che Shanxue also returned to the side courtyard at this time to meet a person who was waiting for him.

Zhuang Li.

Commander Zhuang of the Sparrow Army has disappeared since sending the new emperor back to the palace.Now he appeared at Cheshanxue's mansion, holding the head of the rebel leader Bi Qiwen in his hand, and he was filled with a blood that could not be subsided.

This kind of blood can't be obtained by killing Bi Qiwen. I think Zhuang Li has killed many other people during this period of time.

Thinking about it, if an army of assassins like the Sparrow Army had civil strife, it would be impossible to calculate how much blood would be shed in the Shadowlands, where few people pay attention.

Now that Zhuang Li was able to stand in front of Che Shanxue with no injuries—at least superficially, it was enough to prove that he had once again secured his position as the leader of the Sparrow Army and wiped out all the traitors.

A capable person, Che Shanxue simply commented, but did not show any good attitude towards Zhuang Li.

Zhuang Li didn't care, he stood under the hall, surrounded by Gongrou, Yang Dongrong, and countless ghosts, and told all the things he had done to assist Yu Xingxing.

Including investigating the whereabouts of the Lingmai Orb, passing news on the Yanmenguan Incident, sending people from Daxing Xiaoxingling to the southeast island of Taofu, assassinating Yang Dongrong, and cooperating with Wuyilou assassins to assassinate the worshipers in Taofu cities , and even massacred villages, murdered... etc., nothing is missing.

The more he talked, the colder the atmosphere in the hall became. The north wind was hanging outside the house, as if it took away the temperature in the hall through the gaps in the paper windows.

More and more ghosts appeared, pairs of red eyes gleaming in the shadows.Gong Rou touched her arm, and moved closer to Yang Dongrong.

If Che Shanxue dared to say a word of forgiveness, General Zhou and the [-] ghosts would break the contract and swallow him alive.

Fortunately, Che Shanxue didn't say that.

"Since you dare to say these things in front of me, you probably expected your own fate?" Che Shanxue asked.

"Living crimes are inevitable," Zhuang Li said in a deep voice, "capital crimes are inevitable."

In the shadows, the turmoil of the ghosts subsided a little, but pairs of bright red eyes were still staring at Zhuang Li. If eyes could be turned into knives, then Zhuang Li might have already been stabbed tens of thousands of times.

Zhuang Li stood firm and fearless.

"Beizhi knows that these brothers from Yanmen Pass may want to eat me alive. I am here this time, and I am ready to die. But..."

He lifted the hem of his robe, knelt down on the spot, kowtowed several times not to Che Shanxue, but to the ghosts around him.

"...other sparrows do this, but follow my orders."

"But it's not like they don't know what they're doing." Little General Zhou stepped out of the shadows, and the swirling ghost energy quickly formed a burly armor on his body, and a particularly ferocious spear full of barbs.He lowered his eyes, looked at the living people kneeling in front of him, and asked, "You guys killed us."

"Yes, there are sparrows," Zhuang Li said, "There are also many aristocratic families, Yanmenguan chief general Wei Hong, Tianshan faction, barbarians, Yu Xingxing... We are all murderers."

Having said that, he paused, raised his head, and looked directly at General Zhou.

"But it's impossible for everyone to die."

His attitude was too arrogant for Li Gui, and countless voices shouted in the shadows immediately.

"kill him!"

"Drink his blood! Eat his flesh!"

"Not to die! Not to be reborn! Brothers have [-] lives, at least [-] lives must be paid for!"

Zhuang Li's expression was as calm as if he wasn't the one these ghosts wanted to kill. After another long obeisance, he raised his head and said: "All the sparrows among the sparrows who have a hand in the Yanmen Pass have been killed by me."

The hall suddenly fell silent, and Zhuang Li continued: "There are also the sparrows in Tucun, the same. The remaining 500 people may have been sent to track down the whereabouts of the Great Master, or they may have been sent to investigate the spiritual veins. Orb, at least the crime does not warrant death."

Zhuang Li looked around at the ghosts in the hall, took a deep breath, and said all the remaining words.

"I am here, I can kill at any time, please forgive others."

"Wait!" Someone finally shouted.

Yang Dongrong looked hesitantly at the ghosts and then at Zhuang Li, and said, "This guy needs to change now, can't we give him an atonement?"

"Dong Rong," Che Shanxue said in a low voice, "it's none of your business, step back."

"It's none of my business," Yang Dongrong said in a high voice, "I was almost killed by him, right? I'm qualified. What's more, Master, you said that Zhuang Li is the most likely grandmaster among the younger generation of Dayan -"

Yang Dongrong's words stopped suddenly, because he turned his head, and first saw the ghosts in the shadows showing their true faces one by one.

That was the appearance of them when they died. After becoming ghosts due to grievances, it became the reality and nightmare that they could never get rid of.

Che Shanxue stood up, nodded to Zhuang Li, and left the main hall with Yang Dongrong and Gong Rou.

The three of them stood in the corridor, but Yang Dongrong couldn't hold back and asked: "Zhuang Li is not far away from breaking through now. If there is a master, many things will be much easier in the future. If the master wants to keep him, it's not a good idea." Can't you?"

"Of course I can," Che Shanxue said standing under the eaves, looking up at the sky with the pale sun in the east, "but I can't do this."

Promises must be fulfilled. If so many innocent lives are easily let go for the sake of a future master, it will be against his morality.

Che Yan established Dayan precisely to end the chaotic world where masters can kill at will, but the weak have nowhere to appeal.

"Dong Rong, I don't seem to have taught you too much. Let's learn a lesson now." Che Shanxue said, "Zhuang Li has already arranged everything. If you don't let him die, you will humiliate him."

Saying this, he absentmindedly looked away from the corridor and lowered his voice.

"What is a grandmaster? Starting today, there are still many people who will die."
