Chapter 699 – Bloodstained Capital
This night Xue Mu stayed in the Seven Mysteries Valley branch rudder, sitting in front of Mo Xuexin’s bedroom window, draping himself in his clothes to write his manuscript, he wanted to write all of the Three Kingdoms sequel drafts before his little apprentice brother came.
Snow began to drift outside the window, and the cold wind brought snowflakes to fall on the window pane. It was only when he detached himself from the tense atmosphere of the recent past that he was able to feel that this was already the deepest winter, and that the year was about to pass again.
Somehow, Xue Mu had a sense of urgency.
What he had seen and heard during these two days of rest, even though it had absolutely nothing to do with battles or anything like that, always gave him a vague premonition that the decisive battle might not be too far away. In case the future state of affairs changes beyond one’s ability, well, at least you can’t let the Three Kingdoms Eunuchs drop ……
Mo Xuexin Ying Ying walked over, carrying a bowl of chicken soup on the side of the case, sitting with her cheeks resting on the side to watch him write, with a gentle brow.
She liked it when it was like this, very much like a couple, the husband was working and the wife was mixing the soup with her plain hands. There had been times like this during Xue Mu’s long stay in the Seven Mysteries Valley, and this reappeared thousands of miles away in the capital, allowing her to deeply realize that the lingering at the beginning wasn’t just a cloud of smoke, nor was it a demon who ate it up and ran away, but it could go on forever.
The snow outside the window was deep and cold, while reflecting the warmth of the candlelight inside the room, making one’s heart extraordinarily soft.
“Drink the soup while it’s hot.” She softly said, “Writing a manuscript is not urgent.”
Xue Mu looked up and smiled, took the chicken soup and slowly drank it, “Xue Xin actually still makes soup ……”
“It’s not the ingredients I mixed, I’m afraid of poisoning you.” Mo Xuexin laughed, “But I personally palmed the fire.”
This is called the world’s top Dharma Caveman, stewing chicken with the five elements control power ……
Xue Mu then laughed, “Even if it’s poison, I’ll still do it.”
Seeing him finish drinking, Mo Xuexin stood behind him and gently rubbed his shoulders, her eyes also fell on the manuscript paper for a while and asked, “With your current status and position, why do you still need to write stories? This kind of long story is very taxing, isn’t it?”
Xue Mu looked at the snowflakes outside the window for a while and whispered, “I don’t know …… maybe it’s just proof that I came.”
Mo Xuexin didn’t understand the meaning, and just thought it was a proof that ordinary people said they couldn’t live a life in vain, so she said, “You didn’t come in vain in this life.”
Xue Mu leaned into her soft embrace, closed his eyes and smiled, “Yes, the Seven Xuan Valley Master pinched my shoulders for me. For that alone, I didn’t come for nothing.”
“You know that’s not what I’m talking about, look at your little outburst!” Mo Xuexin snapped, and suddenly laughed herself, “I don’t know what I’m talking about either. Maybe you’re the only one in a thousand years who can make the entire world move for you without relying on your own force.”
“Is the entire world moving for me?” Xue Mu whispered, “Why do I feel that I’m just moving along with the world.”
“How could it be? At least right now, the capital is going to be rolling in heads because of your words.”
“That’s because they deserve it.”
Xue Mu was purposely hiding at the Seven Mysteries Valley branch rudder, avoiding the earthquake that was bound to occur in the capital in the next two days.
He didn’t ask about anything and buried his head in writing the Outline of the Three Kingdoms for two days. Just when Xiahou Di and Liu Wanxi miss him and send someone to find him, Chu Tianming asks to see the Queen.
Chu Tianming is her directly under the secret agent, has always been directly responsible to her, now the authority has not been revoked it, starry night to come here must be important. Xiahou Di only had to press down the idea of going to find Xue Mu, let Chu Tianming to the imperial study to talk.
Then her desk was piled into a mountain.
All are Chu Tianming collected all kinds of evidence of lawlessness, including the past years of bullying and oppression of the people, rape and pillage wantonly kill, and the recent stage of the massive appropriation of the original belongs to the net heavenly religion and Ji Wuyou party, should be returned to the state of the farms and gardens and other assets, and even some people go directly to the garden of forgetfulness, the inside of the heavenly treasures transplanted, a collection of heaven and earth’s spirit of the garden has now been made into a chaotic, everywhere broken walls and ruins, flowers, flowers, and other things. Everywhere broken walls, flowers and branches scattered.
At the same time on the desk of Xiahou Di Li Yingqing submitted to the impeachment report on the King of Yi Ji Wuli, which counted Ji Wuli intercepted the General Administration of Transportation of all public funds, embezzlement and misappropriation of data and evidence, which also involves a number of Lords of the conspiracy.
“Bang!” Dragon case was smashed to pieces, Xiahou Di erected: “This gang of bastards when I am a clay puppet!”
The capital of the imperial cavalry out in all directions, starry night surrounded countless princely mansions, the entire capital was bright as day by torchlight.
Xiahou Di has a very contradictory attribute. Many people know inwardly that this bastard is actually quite ruthless and scary when he is mad. But on the other hand, often to the public heart show people, do things and often very restrained, very emotional, which makes it easy for people to ignore the previous attribute, always subconsciously feel that this empress is a good person, is a clean official, is a benevolent ruler, etc. etc…….
Facts have proved that no one who can be an emperor is a good person in the absolute sense.
Especially when all the strong forces in the capital were controlled in her and Xue Mu’s hands, as long as she wanted to be a tyrant, she could be a standard tyrant.
Chong’an 24th year December, the new empress just ascended the throne less than five days, even the spring festival has not passed, the year number has not been established, the seat is still under scrutiny …… on this day in the capital city hundreds of lords and nobles were removed from the title, relegated to the common people, and all the family property was collected by the government. Among them, more than ten households were decapitated, the dead more than a thousand, imprisoned and exiled people do not know how many.
Being chopped including An Guo Gong family, that day to Qian Jin predicted that “that bunch of assholes can get away with it for how long is not yet known”, this became a fact.
In addition to the initial lead Xue Mu in the participation, the whole process has nothing to do with Xue Mu, the Queen’s rage did not have anyone to encourage, is the Xiahou Di own words to decide. A slender hand raised, a thousand butcher knives fell in unison, and the capital city’s blood flowed into a river, coloring the capital city’s snow into red.
“There is no such thing as power and honor beyond the law.” Xiahou Di coldly announced at the top of the court meeting: “The useless forbidden guards will be disbanded on the same day, from now on, the establishment of the Jin Yi secret agents, headed by Department Six Gold Medal Constable Chu Tianming, specializing in the Lord’s officials do not lawful things. Those who try the law, the head of the market is an example!”
The court was horrified.
No one dared to treat Xiahou Di as a mascot puppet anymore.
In fact, if it was Xue Mu who presided over this kind of event, it would be impossible for him to be as ruthless as Xiahou Di.
Conventional circumstances, any emperor would be hard pressed to take on this group of historical legacy honored system, that would be something that shakes the foundation of the rule. But the current situation is not routine, Xiahou Di’s rise to power has nothing to do with these people. In the absolute force support, do this kind of thing even a little rebound can not draw up, this is the real real power empress, not a puppet!
If in the court above is the effect of shock, that in the folk Xiahou Di’s popularity only in a day on the highest peak.
Originally there are many people worried about Xiahou Di to liquidate the old ministers set off the white terror, the results of the butcher’s knife is not used in this kind of thing, actually cut in the head of the nobles, not for their own position of power, but in order to govern the corruption, governance, the lawlessness of the matter, at the risk of regime turbulence, but also the capital of a clear sky!
Originally has been slightly depressed capital, this day firecrackers burst with the New Year as, go where you can hear the “long live the Queen” voice, vegetable market head of the crowd bustling, suddenly, the harsh winter depression of the capital actually have a few points of the scene of the arrival of spring.
“In a few days is the spring festival.” Xiahou Di continued to announce, “On the day of the spring festival, the year will be changed to Jian Yuan, I wish all of you to work together, with the public heart as the most important, to fight against the difficulties of the times, and build this new Yuan.”
“Jianyuan …… ” Xue Mu hiding in the Seven Xuan Valley rudder listening to the just arrived in the capital of the little disciple report, scratching his head: “how a little familiar to come …… ”
After thinking for half a day suddenly awakened: “Han Wu ah …… awesome my empress.”
