Chapter 244 Remnant
Northern Liao.

Ning Xing.

The surroundings of Ningxing City in late autumn looked gray, and everything was gradually withering.

But there are still strange flowers in the palace.

He Lianfeng was in his forties, and looked gentle and elegant.He looked at the flowers and trees in front of him with his hands behind his back. After a long time, a servant approached, "Your Majesty, Commander Helian, please see me."

He Lianfeng nodded.

Standing outside the palace was a woman in her thirties, with long hair reaching her waist, slightly thin cheeks, and a pair of indifferent eyes. She pressed her right hand to the sword hilt at her waist, and gently parted her red lips, blowing away a trace of her eyes that was in front of her eyes. long hair.

A servant came out and glanced at the woman, "Commander Helian, please follow us."

The woman is He Lianhong, the commander of the Eagle Guard.

As the force closest to the emperor, from the day the Eagle Guard was established, every leader has been the emperor's confidant.He Lianhong was born in the royal family and has advanced cultivation.Back then, the late emperor pointed out a marriage for her, and the groom was considered a young and promising man, if he didn't take the wrong path, he would be unavoidable to see this person in the temple from now on.

It is not an exaggeration to say that such a marriage is a good match, but on the wedding night, He Lianhong stabbed the groom to death with a long sword in his hand.

This matter shocked Ning Xingcheng, the first emperor ordered He Lianhong to be taken away, but in the end he let her back.

Some people said that the groom angered He Lianhong; some said that the groom drank too much and beat He Lianhong; some said that the groom liked men...

Not long after that, the late emperor passed away, and the first thing Helianfeng did when he ascended the throne was to clean the Eagle Guards, and Helianhong was the one who did this.Immediately, she led the Eagle Guards to clean the palace, and made great contributions to Helian Feng's successful ascension to the throne.

The servant opened the distance from He Lianhong, still feeling the coldness behind her and her neck shivering.

Terrible woman!

Back then, He Lianhong killed countless people with a long sword in the palace, and imprisoned the most noble women.Those women are suffering in the cold palace, and their howling can be heard from time to time in the middle of the night.

Those curses made people shudder, and the one who was cursed the most was He Lianhong.

— Bitch, you will be alone for the rest of your life!
When He Lianhong heard such curses, she just said indifferently: "Why do you need a man to not be lonely?"

That's why everyone knew that this man had lost even the love between men and women.

In the harem, He Lianfeng was still admiring the flowers.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

He Lianfeng didn't turn around, "How about Tanzhou?"

"He Lianchun in Tanzhou keeps drinking and drinking all day long, and plays and sings every night."

He Lianfeng leaned over and sniffed the fragrance of the flowers, and said flatly, "He's pretending to be crazy."

"Your Majesty is wise."

"I know he is pretending, but I still send people to check every now and then, not to guard against him, but because the palace is boring, I just want to watch a show."

He turned around and said softly, "How about the northern border?"

He Lianhong said: "After the envoy left, the main force in northern Xinjiang has not moved."

"Chen Zhou." He Lianfeng walked slowly.

He Lianhong followed behind, "The Lin'an army still hasn't moved, but news came earlier that a county dispatched more than [-] troops into the grassland."

"Which one?"

"Peace."

"I haven't heard of it."

"Taiping belongs to Chenzhou, and it was once broken seven times by Vaxie, one of the three major ministries."

He Lianfeng stopped, stretched out his hand to support the wooden pillar of the veranda, and looked up at the carved patterns on it, "Lin Ya's defeat surprised me too. The one who surprised me the most was Huang Chunhui."

He turned back, "It is said that this man is very old, but the soldiers used in this battle are not lacking in sharpness, precise judgment, and extreme tolerance. Chen Fangli and the others were not angry, and suggested to send an envoy to suppress people. I know such playful actions. I can't mobilize Huang Chunhui, but I didn't expect Chenzhou to not move, interesting, how about the governor of Chenzhou?"

Chen Fangli is the king of the North Academy and He Lianfeng's confidant.

"Chenzhou Inspector Liu Qing, this person had a bad temper, offended the superior, and was driven to northern Xinjiang. This person fought steadily in Chenzhou. In the last battle of northern Xinjiang, Liu Qing led the Chenzhou army to raid the right wing of our army It’s pretty tenacious.”

"In this way, it can be regarded as a talent." He Lianfeng smiled, "If there were no such talents in Northern Xinjiang, they would have been swept into the dust by my iron cavalry. But what is interesting is that Northern Xinjiang turned out to be the exile place for officials of the Tang Dynasty. The officials who were driven to northern Xinjiang were the most outstanding talents in Datang."

He Lianhong was silent.

He Lianfeng smiled and said: "That is to say, talents from Datang are not welcome in the officialdom."

He Lianhong said softly: "This is a sign of defeat."

"When talents are expelled, it means that the officialdom of Tang Dynasty has been controlled by those mediocre people. These people can't do anything else, and what they are best at is fighting against dissidents."

He Lianhong said: "Then Daliao should attack with a large army."

He Lianfeng shook his head and sighed: "But Emperor Xuande and Emperor Wu have left too many talents, and those talents have been dragging the Tang Dynasty forward."

"Those people are getting old too."

"Yes!" He Lianfeng's brows became more serious, "I lead hundreds of thousands of cavalry to stand ready, and when the Great Tang declines, I will strike with all my might."

He entered the hall, and his voice echoed.

"Li Mi, I can destroy it with a flip of my palm!"

He Lianhong bowed slightly, "Your Majesty is mighty!"

Turning around, she glanced at the south, with a look of sarcasm in her eyes.

After Li Mi and his son took over Datang, everyone could see the gradual weakening of Datang.Even at the beginning, he had achieved success several times, but as the leader of the Eagle Guard, He Lianhong knew that the interior of the Tang Dynasty was already riddled with holes, and he just waited for someone to push this big house down from the inside.Faced with such a dangerous situation, Li Mi indulged in pleasure, which can be called a prodigal son.

After leaving the palace, there are eagle guards waiting outside.

"Commander."

"What's the matter?"

"Vase is gone."

"Hmm! Make it clear."

"The Taiping Army attacked and defeated Vasie's army. Hua Zhuo died."

"How many people are in Tang Jun?" He Lianhong asked.

"More than two thousand people."

"How many people are in the Vache department?"

"Close to twenty thousand."

He Lianhong took a deep breath, "Who is in charge, but Liu Qing?"

"No, it's Yang Xuan."

"Who is Yang Xuan?"

"Chenzhou Sima... the former magistrate of Taiping County."

……

It rained in Chang'an in late autumn.

"One autumn rain and one cold!"

Xin Quan was lighting a fire.

Light the firewood first, then add the charcoal.The flame rushed out along with the smoke from the cracks in the charcoal. Xin Quan sniffed the smell and said comfortably, "That's the smell."

Put the small pot on it, add water, and listen to the sound of the charcoal fire bursting, Xin Quan didn't think about it.

"I have met Mr. Zhao."

"Master Zhao looks very energetic!"

"Master Zhao please."

Zhao Sanfu pressed the handle of the knife with his left hand, squinted his eyes and nodded, striding forward.

Behind him, two stakes followed closely.

When he got outside the house, Zhao Sanfu stopped and waved his hands, and the two stakes stepped back.

Zhao Sanfu lifted his windbreaker, "Master."

Xin Quan said quietly: "It's cold, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Sanfu sat down and put his hands on the small pot to warm the fire, "Master, Chunyu He, an official from the Chunyu family in the Ministry of Industry, neglected his duties and sat by his subordinates for corruption, so that the embankment collapsed, and the autumn water leaked out, drowning more than ten people."

"Just report it up." Xin Quan lifted the lid of the pot and saw that the water was boiling, so he threw a few slices of ginger into it, and then closed the lid.

Zhao Sanfu lowered his head slightly, "Chunyu's reputation is not very good recently..."

"The business is not doing well." Xin Quan said indifferently: "After the Wang family started smelting, the Chunyu family lost most of their ore sources. Why did Chunyu He from the Ministry of Industry sit back and watch corruption?"

"The official in charge of this matter is in charge of the mine at the Ministry of Industry."

"This is trying to save the country with curves."

"Yes!"

"Then what do you want to do?"

"A family with five surnames is greedy. Recently, there have been news that they or their people are frantically annexing fields in various places. I want to make things bigger and let the world see their faces."

"You're hitting a rock with an egg." Xin Quan warned: "It's not a good thing for Mrs. Chunyu to remember you. In the future, unless you are always on the stage, they will have ways to attack your official career."

There was a gleam of light in Zhao Sanfu's eyes, which suddenly appeared and then disappeared, "Master, I'm going."

Xin Quan lowered his head, "If you want to live a happy life, you have to pretend to be a fool most of the time."

Zhao Sanfu stood up, "Maybe I will pretend to be a fool when I reach the age of the principal, but now my blood is still there."

He got up and went out, and the two stakes followed him closely after he passed by.

"I've met Mr. Zhao!"

Today, Zhao Sanfu is already a capable man beside Wang Shou, and he is gradually emerging on the stage.

"More people!"

Zhao Sanfu took more than twenty piles all the way to the outside of the Ministry of Industry.

"I want to go in." He looked at the gatekeeper Zhang Gu and said coldly.

Zhang Gu trembled, "Let the villain first report."

Zhao Sanfu stretched out his hand to push him away, leading the National People's Congress inside.

"Master Zhao..." Zhang Gu trotted to catch up with him, "Dare to ask who Master Zhao is looking for."

"Chun Yu He."

Zhao Sanfu looked at him, "Lead the way!"

Just as Zhang Gu was about to stop, Zhuangzi laughed grimly and said, "Anyone who dares to say no will turn around and ransack the house!"

In the Ministry of Industry, when the officials saw the majestic Jingtai group, they avoided it as if they were avoiding the plague god.

"Who is this trying to catch?"

"God knows, it doesn't matter if it's Shangshu."

"Why?"

"If Shang Shu is unlucky, His Majesty will definitely clean up the Ministry of Industry. God knows how many people will be affected."

"Too."

"Hey! Isn't that Chunyuhe's housekeeper?"

Bah!
A stake kicked open the door of the guard's room, and then rushed in like a wolf, dragging Chunyuhe out.

"Help me!" Chunyuhe shouted, but after seeing Zhao Sanfu, his expression changed drastically, and he opened his mouth to spray, "Bah!"

Zhao Sanfu didn't move, Chunyuhe's face was slapped away with a slap from the pole, and his saliva fell on his own shoe.

"Sit back and watch your subordinates become corrupt, so that more than ten people drowned. The corrupt person is Yao Mi, who is in charge of the mine in your Ministry of Industry. For Chunyu's ore, you can sit back and watch the people cry and ignore the people's death and injury. Chunyuhe, is this your family motto?"

Just as Chunyuhe was about to speak, Zhao Sanfu gave him a wink, and someone slapped him on the mouth with a scabbard.

"take away!"

Zhao Sanfu walked out of the Ministry of Industry, and a mirror pile came on horseback, "I have already consulted the palace, ransacked the house, and killed the rebels."

"Leader!"

Zhuangzi approached and said in a low voice: "The palace said...it's autumn, so we should kill it."

"Understood!" Zhao Sanfu nodded.The emperor also needs to slap a family of five surnames from time to time to remind them that they are emperors.And he also wanted to take this opportunity to make a move, so that his reputation of daring to fight and kill would spread into the palace.

Official career has always been a blood-stained step, some blood cannot be seen, and some step by step in the blood puddle.

A group of people came to Chunyu He's house.

The door was called open, and the door was still laughing. After seeing Chunyu He with his swollen lips, his complexion changed drastically.

"Alang!"

"Rush in!"

"Chunyu and his family have started."

"Master Zhao orders, kill!"

The howls were endless, and the neighbors closed their doors and listened.

The howling was over.

"Awon! Aon!"

A girl's voice came.

The sound was in a utility room.

"Aweng, are you back? You came to find me!"

Zhao Sanfu stood outside the door of the utility room, stretched out his hand and slowly opened a gap.

Chunyuhe knelt behind him, kowtowed vigorously, but did not dare to make a sound, but his eyes were full of pleading.

A ray of light came in through the crack of the door and shone on the face of a three-year-old girl.

The girl raised her head, her face was covered with gray and black powder, and she asked curiously, "Who are you?"

Zhao Sanfu's right hand holds the handle of the knife.

Press the clip lightly.

Zheng!
A section of the horizontal knife popped out of the scabbard.

The sharpness in the eyes and the light of the knife flickered together.

The emperor likes cruel officials!

The girl tilted her head and frowned, "Why haven't I seen you? Are you new here? Do you want to eat? I just cooked! Look..."

The girl turned sideways, and there was a small table in the utility room. There were some small things made of wheat flour on the small table, which looked very rough.The slender and curved ones are probably chopsticks, the one-piece ones are probably bowls, and the thin ones are probably the dishes.

The girl said excitedly: "What I made is delicious, do you want to eat it?"

Zhao Sanfu looked at her indifferently, shook his head slightly, "Don't eat!"

He turned around and closed the door with his backhand.

Bah!
That ray of light was cut off.

……

There are still singing and dancing in the pear garden.

The emperor was thinking hard, and it was said that he wanted to compose a piece of music that would frighten the foreigners and lift the spirits of the soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty. For this reason, he summoned a lot of kabuki to practice.

The imperial concubine was pondering with him at the side, and the two looked at each other from time to time and smiled warmly.

Han Shitou stood watching this scene from the side, and smiled slightly, as if he was pleased with the friendship between the emperor and the imperial concubine.

"Young Supervisor Han."

A servant cautiously approached, first glanced at the emperor and the imperial concubine, and said, "Jingtai came to report that Chunyuhe's family resisted and were killed. There is only one little girl left."

Han Shitou said lightly: "Why?"

The waiter said: "It is said that the little girl probably deserves to die. She is playing house in the utility room and invites the people on the mirror table to eat."

"Understood, by the way, His Majesty has been concerned about Beijiang recently, so ask for more news."

"Yes."

Han Shitou went over, leaned over, and whispered in the emperor's ear, "Your Majesty, Chunyuhe's family has been killed."

"Hmm!" The emperor snorted softly, pointed at the score, and asked the concubine with his head tilted, "Is it okay for Hongyan to make such a change?"

The imperial concubine frowned, "But it's a bit sharp."

The emperor smiled and said: "The army is vertical and horizontal, and it is naturally sharp. Is it peaceful?"

Han Shitou retreated quietly until the door.

Later, the servant came again.

"Han Shaojian, there is news from the northern border that the Vasie tribe, one of the three major tribes, has been wiped out."

Han Shitou raised his eyebrows slightly, "The opposite of Vaxie is Taiping."

The servant praised: "Young supervisor Han even knows about such things? No wonder His Majesty relies heavily on it."

Han Shitou held his hand behind his back and clenched his right fist, "Who will lead the army?"

"Say it's Chenzhou Sima."

"Yang Xuan?"

"Does Han Shaojian know this person?"

"heard about it."
