The palace waiters conveyed orders quickly, and the courtiers arrived even faster.
Therefore, when they stepped into the familiar gate of the palace one after another, and saw a group of waiters in the square in front of the palace busy silently splashing water and scrubbing away the blood stains everywhere on the stone slabs, they still couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
Walking all the way to the main hall with some apprehension, no one's footprints can be without a trace of blood.
The inside and outside of the hall were not guarded by the usual golden-armored guards, but instead were replaced by elite cavalry wearing blood-colored armor whose faces could not be seen clearly. They were tall, mighty and as tall as a peak, and a feeling of suffocation came over them.
The door of the main hall was closed tightly, and all the courtiers gathered outside the hall under the comfort of the chief minister of the palace, Gao Shixian. Only when the last person who was supposed to arrive had arrived did the blood knight guarding the main hall make way.
The door of the palace opened, and all the courtiers lowered their heads and stepped in one after another. The few people with fresh blood on their soles could still clearly feel the sticking sensation from the soles of their shoes as they walked. In this silent hall, even this
The slightest noise seems too harsh.
The courtiers returned to their seats, but there was still no sound in the hall.
It wasn't until the old man who ranked first in the military commander's order slowly prostrated himself and shouted "Greetings to the prefect" that all the courtiers followed suit.
Then, there was no sound in the hall again. After a while, Luo Chuan, who was sitting on the throne of the prefect above, spoke, "Get up, my lords."
"Thank you, Lord Prefect," this time the voices of the courtiers became more coherent.
Luo Chuan was not used to sitting in a high place and talking condescendingly to others, but he had to sit there. He frowned slightly and looked at the courtiers in the audience who lowered their gazes, "My lords, you have been working hard recently."
All the courtiers were somewhat surprised by Luo Chuan's opening remarks. They couldn't help but turn their heads and glance sideways, and quickly exchanged glances with each other. Only the ones at the front were more steady and didn't make much movement.
Luo Chuan ignored their little actions and continued, "When I received my father's edict to stay in Luochuan, I was still in Cangyan Xigu Pass. After repelling the Xiyi, I led the army to rush back to Licheng, but in the end I was still
It was too late, not only did the people in Licheng get frightened, but also the courtiers were imprisoned. My father is responsible for this, and I am also responsible."
The bolder ones among the courtiers dared to look up and peek at Luo Chuan's expression, but what they saw was a bloody armor, and they couldn't help but be frightened.
Luo Chuan spoke faster and faster, and his tone gradually became higher, "But my father also took great pains to arrange this. Now that the Western Yi invaded and the Southern Yi prepared for war, he couldn't bear the recurrence of the turmoil in Li County more than ten years ago, so he had to arrange the six armies first.
To stabilize the four directions, and then to establish the court to ensure the safety of the county. Now, Li city has experienced many twists and turns without too much loss. Nirvana and rebirth can only happen in a matter of days. The six armies are united here. The four parties dare not insult them lightly. The people do not need to
Panic, this is all the result of my father's careful planning. All of you are the pillars of Li County who are deeply trusted by my father. I hope that everyone can work together to bring a good ending to my father's last game of chess."
The first person in the rank of civil servants came out, bowed and saluted, and said loudly, "Don't worry, Grand Administrator, we will live up to the expectations of the old Grand Administrator and the trust of the new Grand Administrator!"
Immediately, all the civil servants came out to bow and salute, and then all the military officers bowed and saluted, "We will live up to the expectations of the old eunuch and live up to the trust of the new eunuch!"
"Okay," Luochuan seemed to be feeling a little emotional, his voice was much louder, and his smile was much brighter, "During the days when Licheng was trapped, officials from all parties in Lijun lost contact with Licheng. Today,
The internal and external affairs are settled, and the traitors are destined to be killed. Starting from tomorrow, all parts of the government office will be up and running again. Luochuan is not an expert in politics, but since my father left you humerus for me, he will follow the old chapter. Luochuan is just
I want to make it clear to you."
He paused for a moment and looked down at the courtiers and said seriously, "Today's Lijun needs your efforts. In the future, Lijun will still need the long-term support of you and your family. Those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who have faults will be rewarded.
You must be punished, that’s all.”
"Master Taishou Shengming!" All the courtiers shouted in unison.
Luo Chuan beamed with joy, raised his hands and said loudly, "We will be here today. My lords, please go back home and have a good rest. Starting tomorrow, we will get Li County back on track."
"I will obey the order of the Grand Administrator!" All the courtiers bowed and bowed before slowly retreating.
Luo Chuan looked at the people at the front of the courtiers' line and said, "Your Majesty the County Lieutenant, the four adults from the Fifth Division and the Inspector will stay here for a moment."
After hearing this, the six people bowed and stayed.
When the courtiers retreated one by one and the door of the hall was closed again, Luo Chuan stood up from the throne and stretched his body under the gaze of the six people. Then he moved his neck and said straight to the point, "Several adults from the family
Have you received all the letters over there?"
After a few people exchanged glances, the person who was still the first civil servant bowed and said, "If I want to return to the governor, I have received the family letter from the clan. We also have some guesses about the governor's plan in the north, but what are the details?
, limited to the situation a few days before leaving the city, we still don’t know much about it.”
Luochuan said "Yeah" and walked down the steps step by step with his hands behind his back. Qianxue and the young female Taoist who were standing on either side of the prefect's throne in a somewhat unruly manner did not move. Only a mysterious shadow suddenly appeared behind Luochuan.
The position of one step surprised all the ministers in the hall, and they exchanged glances with each other.
"From the time I returned to Licheng, my father had probably already started planning this game, letting Chen Jingzhi from Taiming go north to Cangyan, Zhao Wuji from Cangyan go east to Ganyuan, and Zhao Gui from Baitong go north to Shangyuan. Originally,
Zhong Xian and Du Rushan, who had some ambiguity with Yongchang County, went south, and now they have probably been killed by Lu Dongfeng and Luo Tianyu..." Luo Chuan smiled and looked at the important officials of Li County, and did not follow their instructions.
Something changed on his face, "All the six armies are firmly in my hands. Naturally, there will be no disturbance in all directions of Li County. The only hidden danger left in Li City was blocked by the old man Gongsun Cuo.
Compared with the sluggish transfer of power more than ten years ago, he did a much better job. The entire Li County was handed over to me in one fell swoop, without saying that he wanted me to take over for him.
Do something and say nothing at all.”
Luo Chuan raised his hands, but they were empty and seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. "But I have to do something to let him go to that world. I can also straighten my waist and say to the ancestors of the Luo family, look, I am Luo Tian."
Well, you didn’t choose the wrong person, did you?”
"My father is a conservative person who attaches great importance to the inheritance of our ancestors. There was nothing wrong with this in the era when he came to the throne, but it is no longer enough to think like this now," Luo Chuan put his hands behind his back again and stood between several ministers.
As they moved around, the few people had no choice but to move with a slight bow, always facing the young nobleman, "Nanyi is really going to play with us. We can't let the tragic situation like Shanbei County happen again in Li County. Just rely on half a Tai
The Ming army and half of the Baitong army are obviously not good enough, and even with the sword cultivators currently in Licheng or Cangyan Sword Sect, they are still far behind. If at least half of Southwest Hanzhou cannot be twisted into a rope, the battle that will begin next spring will
No matter how long we last in this battle, we will eventually be defeated and unable to win!"
He looked around and looked at the senior ministers calmly, and said slowly, "Since I crossed the Han River south, all the forces in Southwest Hanzhou have tried to plot some benefits on me. Now, my father used
A good game of chess pulled me out of those messy calculations, and also gave me a big head start. If I still dare not turn around and plot against these people, then he..."
