Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 91 The General's Mansion
The Ministry of Criminal Justice and Yushitai teamed up, and the efficiency of the work was extremely fast. In addition, Pei Xiu had completely given up on Chen Shilang, and the matter came to a conclusion soon.

Three days later, on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Shilang was convicted of all crimes and sentenced to death. The evil servants who helped him rob the women were all beheaded. Chen Shilang's two sons were deprived of their official positions and demoted to common people. After being kicked out of the imperial capital, all the family property was used to compensate the families of the four civilian girls.

On the day Chen Shilang was taken to the execution ground, the people surrounded the road and kept throwing eggs and rotten vegetables at Chen Shilang. When he was forced to kneel on the execution platform, he probably couldn't imagine that the reason why he fell to this point was a On the one hand, because of self-inflicted and heinous crimes, on the other hand, he has become an abandoned child, abandoned by Pei Qing, and there is no other way to go but to die.

The corresponding Huang Shangshu had a much better life than him. On the one hand, Huang Shangshu's crime was much lighter. On the other hand, Feng Jin secretly ordered him to live. Mrs. Huang's dowry was not confiscated. Mrs. Huang sold all the dowry, sent her servants away, and took her children to accompany Huang Shangshu to northern Xinjiang.

Comparing the two, the scale in the hearts of civil and military officials began to shift.

On the New Year's Eve, everything was settled, those who deserved to die died, those who should have left also left, and those who should stay also stayed, and the imperial capital returned to calm.

It was snowing heavily all day, Feng Jin stood on the tallest tower of the imperial palace, silently looking at the entire imperial capital, it was covered in white snow, and the endless overlapping buildings were covered with a thick layer of white, the streets were already deserted. There are pedestrians, the imperial capital faded away from the hustle and bustle of the past, and it looks quiet and beautiful.

As the country of the Great Zhou, the most bustling and most populous city in the world, the imperial capital seldom had such peaceful moments.

Feng Jin just stood quietly on the tower, quietly watching everything in front of her.

The world is vast and vast, and human beings seem so small in the universe.

Looking at such a magnificent scenery, Feng Jin's heart felt calmer than ever before.

Wuming came up, holding Feng Jin's cloak in his hand, and Shen Wenqing appeared with him, "Why is Your Majesty here alone? There will be a banquet in the palace later, and His Majesty wants to invite officials and their families above rank three, do you want to have a banquet?" Go get ready first?"

It was Shen Wenqing who spoke, Wuming didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, silently put the cloak on Feng Jin's body, and helped her tie the belt carefully, Feng Jin's eyes still fell on the distant sky, and he smiled slightly , "What is there to prepare for? Anyway, I haven't been in power yet, I'm just a puppet. This year's palace banquet, the courtiers are not here to see me, but to see Pei Xiu!"

Shen Wenqing stopped talking, walked quietly to Feng Jin's side, and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

Wuming stood on the other side, held Feng Jin's cold hand, and said seriously and solemnly, "Don't worry, Ah Jin, it's coming soon."

His deep and hoarse voice had a reassuring flavor.

Feng Jin smiled slightly at him, "I know, soon."

It's almost here!

Her gaze once again fell on the sky above the grand and prosperous imperial capital. This is her capital, and this is her world. As she watched, the corners of her lips slowly raised, revealing a noble, elegant and confident smile.

Seeing her elegant and confident demeanor and the gentle and resolute gaze in her eyes, Shen Wenqing's eyes were a little dazed. He slowly lowered his head to look at his hand on the railing, and the queen's snow-white and slender hand was also on the railing, in line with his The hand was no more than a fist away, Shen Wenqing looked forward and saw the Queen's other hand being held by Wuming.

Shen Wenqing suddenly had the urge to wrap this snow-like jade hand in his palm, but he didn't dare, he was afraid that she would blaspheme her abruptly, and he was afraid that he would not be worthy of her.

He stood side by side with her, his hands were so close to hers, but he didn't even have the courage to move slowly to touch hers.

Feng Jin turned her head and looked at the majestic and majestic imperial palace. She could see that the palace banquet was approaching, and countless court ladies and eunuchs shuttled back and forth between the various palaces, walking hurriedly, with a numb look on everyone's face. A look of haste.

They have done such a thing countless times, but they are also indispensable.

The entire Dazhou is like a huge machine, and everyone has their own duties to make this machine work.

And she is the emperor, she will do the duties of the emperor well.

"Your Majesty, General Zhong Mo returned to Beijing the day before yesterday."

Shen Wenqing said in a low voice, Feng Jin smiled, "I know."

In the General's Mansion, besides the super-rank Zhenguo General Zhong Mo, there are also his younger brothers, the first-rank Mighty General Zhong Shu, and the second-rank Shenwei General Zhong Gang.

Zhong Shu and Zhong Gang had five sons together, all of whom were famous young generals. Zhong Mo originally had three sons, but the eldest son and the second son were killed in the battle against the Huns a few years ago, leaving only the youngest son Zhong sparkle.

I don't know if he lost two sons in a row. Zhong Mo was not too strict with his youngest son, and he didn't ask him to go to the front line. As a result, Zhong Shuo was the most unpromising member of the Zhong family's generation. Didn't make it.

With Zhong Shuo being so incompetent, Zhong Mo's super-grade Tiger Talisman of the Great General of the Nation is likely to fall on his nephews.

In the entire Great General's Mansion, there are eight generals in one family, full of tiger generals, with great achievements in battle, even Pei Xiu can't do anything to him.

Every year, Zhong Mo had to return from the frontier to the emperor to face the tiger talisman. This was a rule set by the late emperor when he was still alive, and it was also to test Zhong Mo's loyalty at this time every year. After all, the Zhong family had a total of 20 troops, accounting for One-third of the week.

The three brothers of the Zhong family guarded the entire northern border. The war with the Xiongnu ten years ago was too tragic. The Huns crossed the northern border, burned, killed and looted, and the entire northern border became a dead city. The Huns' cavalry drove straight all the way to the south. They directly hit Shenzhou, which was two hundred miles away from the imperial capital, and the courtiers were so frightened that they persuaded the late emperor to abandon the capital and flee.

The first emperor wanted to run away at that time, but was persuaded by the empress at that time, now the empress dowager. The empress dowager was a powerful character. Regardless of being more than four months pregnant, she stood on the tower and beat drums to boost morale. Under the persuasion of the empress dowager, The first emperor made great use of Zhong Mo, and handed over all the troops to Zhong Mo. Zhong Mo lived up to expectations, and divided into three groups with his two younger brothers to surround the Huns' army.

Zhong Mo took his two sons and faced the enemy head-on. In that battle, Da Zhou reversed the defeat and defeated the Xiongnu. The son caused Dazhou to lose a whole hundred thousand good sons, and also caused the empress dowager to have a miscarriage due to exhaustion and lost a formed male fetus. The newly entered imperial concubine Hui, this is already a later story.

The tragedy of the war made those who experienced it feel numb when they think about it. The corpses piled up like a mountain, and it took more than half a month to burn them clean. As a result, the entire royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty had lingering fears about the Huns, and sent a third of the Great Zhou Dynasty The troops guarding the northern border, lest the Huns take advantage of the vacancy and enter.

Speaking of tiger talismans, in fact, there are no tiger talismans. There is a pair of tiger talismans. Zhong Mo has one in his hand, and the first emperor has another. Female, ascended the throne as the empress, this Tiger Talisman should be in her hands, but strangely, the Tiger Talisman disappeared.

In the memory that Feng Jin got from Feng Jin, there was no information about this Tiger Talisman either.

Feng Jin once doubted whether the other Tiger Talisman fell into Pei Xiu's hands, but when she asked about it in a roundabout way, Pei Xiu told her straightforwardly that the Tiger Talisman was not in his possession, and he hadn't found it after six years of searching.

Where did the Tiger Talisman go?Such an important thing can't just disappear out of thin air, can it?

Because there is no tiger talisman, Pei Xiu's ambition is also curbed. At least, Pei Xiu can't use the tiger symbol to command the general Zhong Mo, and Zhong Mo ignores him because Prime Minister Pei doesn't have a tiger talisman. The two sides are in such a strange balance.

Zhong Mo has 20 troops, and Li Yi has [-] to [-] troops. The difference is not very big, but the difference is that Zhong Mo's troops are all concentrated in the hands of the Zhong family, which cannot be shaken by outsiders, while Li Yi's troops are concentrated in the Ministry of War. In the hands of the generals, Li Yi's party is considered stable, but not as stable as the Zhong family.

As soon as Zhong Mo returns to Beijing, Pei Xiu will definitely try to prevent her from meeting Zhong Mo, so as to prevent her from wooing Zhong Mo. Although the Queen does not have a tiger talisman, Zhong Mo will not listen to anyone, but if the Queen wins over the Zhong family, there will be Zhong Mo. As a backer, no one can stop the empress from wanting to be in charge.

So, judging from what Feng Jin heard, Pei Xiu personally went to the General's Mansion to visit Zhong Mo as soon as Zhong Mo returned to Beijing.
