Not long after, Lan Yuan left and returned. Following him was a fat man of about forty, who was being pushed to the ground by several sergeants, cursing as he ran.
"Your Majesty, everyone has been brought here. That boy just found a second wife who is more than twenty years younger. He is simply a beast." Lan Yuan could not help but complain.
He glanced at the great scholar Zeng again, and when he saw the emperor, he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
"Cut it off!" His voice was emotionless, as if he had just stepped on an ant.
"Your Majesty, have mercy, Your Majesty," Liu Chun kept shouting until everyone's head fell to the ground. Academician Zeng never raised his head.
"Okay, the side dishes in front have been passed, and now comes the main course. Is Tian Xing here?"
"My dear, please give your regards to the Emperor." Tian Xing stepped forward quickly.
"Your job today is very simple. Interrogate these people carefully. No matter how you extract a confession, as long as you can get anything out of their mouths, I will reward you. If you can't get it, I will chop off your head. Listen. Do you understand?"
"yes."
"Let's work." The prison guard stood up quickly. The prison guard next to him caught a killer and tortured him. The scene was so cruel that many officials couldn't help but squint their eyes.
"My dear friends, open your eyes wide and let me see which minister Lan Yuan likes dares to close his eyes and be treated as his accomplice."
"Yes." Lan Yuan waved, and all the ministers came forward one after another, no longer daring to close their eyes.
"Oops! I said, I said, let me die faster." The prison guard was very cruel. After a minute, a killer lost his patience.
After giving the instructions, Lan Yuan left with his men. Half an hour later, an army came back with more than a hundred prisoners, a hundred sets of armor, and a large amount of weapons and food.
A bloody storm passed like this in the sound of fighting. It was not until the next day when hundreds of families in the city got up that they saw the Meridian Gate surrounded by densely packed soldiers and prisoners of war.
In one night, Lan Yuan destroyed more than a dozen rebel strongholds, captured thousands of prisoners of war, and seized a large amount of armor, weapons, and food. It was a great harvest.
"My dear friends, did you have a good time last night?"
A group of civil and military officials lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word. At this time, Chen Nan looked like a bloodthirsty butcher.
"Haha, all the adults are silent. It seems that you didn't see anything interesting. If you are not interested, I will let everyone take a look."
"Cut all the prisoners."
More than a thousand people were hanged on the gallows. Heads were rolling in front of the Meridian Gate, and blood flowed into a small river. All the civilians who saw this scene had pale faces and hid in their houses. .
"Boom." A black cloud passed through the sky, followed by a burst of thunder, and heavy rain fell.
At the Meridian Gate that day, more than a thousand people were beheaded, and as many as thirty-five officials were executed, all of whom were closely related to the rebels.
Later generations called this the "Blood Sacrifice Festival", and some people said that Emperor Chen Nan of Jian'an became a cruel monarch from then on, killing people like hemp.
Many people thought that Emperor Chen Nan of Jian'an was a veritable emperor from then on. It was on this day that he had the desire to dominate the world, established an eternal foundation, and led Daliang to dominate the world.
Killing is not that easy. When everyone was executed, it was already afternoon. Chen Nan chopped off all the heads before returning to the palace.
"Lan Yuan, during this period, we need to step up patrols in the city, especially in the harem. We must have dedicated manpower. Don't let down your vigilance to avoid being taken advantage of."
"yes."
"Zhao Lide, take the time to forge the weapons, and protect the craftsmen and workshops, don't let them destroy the weapons."
"yes."
"Su Qing, what happened to the account I asked you to investigate?" He looked at Su Qing and asked.
"The report to the Emperor is almost over halfway now. I also have many evidences of officials taking bribes. I am gathering them and preparing to send them to the Emperor." Su Qing said quickly.
"Okay, and please help me check the fields in the capital, the ownership of the land, and last year's land rent."
"As commanded."
"Okay, I haven't slept all night. You can go down first."
The group of courtiers dispersed, leaving only Yun Lao and Chen Nan.
"Mr. Yun, how many shadow guards are there?"
"Your Majesty, there are less than ten shadow guards now." Mr. Yun's voice was a little low. There were many shadow guards in the past, but now there are only a few left.
"Why are there only a few people?" Chen Nan was shocked. His safety was the most important thing. In this troubled world, there were too few people.
"Your Majesty, this old slave has been training these secret guards since he was a child. They all have no father or mother. Without more than ten years of hard work, it is impossible to train one."
"Hey, I understand, Mr. Yun wants to form a new organization called 'Ghosts Seeing Sorrow'!"
"Ghosts are worried?" Mr. Yun muttered silently in his heart and looked at him with some confusion.
"Yes, it is 'Ghost Sees Sorrow'. I am going to train you on the basis of this institution. You will select and train the best talents from the Forbidden Army, the Royal Forest Army, and even the people."
"Guijianchou is a comprehensive organization that integrates tracking, investigation, arrest, assassination, and defense. It is a trump card. Everyone in it may not be a top powerhouse, but they must have their own Special skills."
"Mr. Yun, if you are asked to set up such an organization, are you confident?" Gao Yun's eyes lit up when he heard Chen Nan's words.
He pondered for a moment and said decisively: "Your Majesty, I am confident that within two months, I will be able to create a rough outline, and within a year, I will be able to build Gui Jianchou into a powerful army."
"Okay! What he wants is much more powerful than the border people of the Tang Dynasty and the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention one year, even two years, he is willing to do it.
After Mr. Yun left, he didn't go back. He took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and splashed ink on it. When he saw the old couple farming yesterday, he also felt that the farming technology in this world was so poor.
He had the idea of improving farming equipment, and the first thing that came to his mind was the "curved shaft plow" created by the working people of the Tang Dynasty in China.
With the emergence of the "quyu plow", the Chinese farming methods have been greatly improved, and the land has been more utilized.
During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, there was a work called "Xuanyuan Plow", so he planned to draw a "Quyuan Plow" and give it to the Ministry of Industry to make it and rent it to farmers so that they could use land rent instead of tax.
It can not only improve the efficiency of farming, but also increase their enthusiasm for planting. It can also save a lot of money, killing two birds with one stone.
