Lu Bing was not in the capital. During this period, he had been leading the night watchmen of the Demon Suppression Department to inspect the demon situation in the Gyeonggi area.
Tonight, the person who came to the palace to report the situation on behalf of the Demon Suppression Division was Luo An, the commanding officer who stayed behind.
He was someone placed by Emperor Jianwu in the Demon Suppression Division.
After hearing Emperor Jianwu's order, Luo An immediately accepted the order.
"I accept the decree. I will send my capable men to recover Qin Shaoyou."
Emperor Jianwu said 'hmm' and then turned his attention to the imperial city guards who were kneeling on the ground.
Although Emperor Jianwu felt that these guards were useless, for a while, he could not find suitable replacements.
Emperor Jianwu could only suppress the thought of taking them into the alchemy furnace for refining, and snorted: "Get up, can kneeling solve the problem? If only things in the world could be this simple."
After scolding a few angrily, Emperor Jianwu ordered again: "After I go back, train the Imperial City defenders for me, and don't do anything embarrassing to me again.
In addition, the people under your command should also see blood.
Deploy some troops to assist the Yamen such as the Demon Suppression Department, the Editing Factory, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department to hunt down the Black Lotus Sect demons inside and outside the capital!
Again, if you find anyone, kill them all. If anyone dares to stop them, no matter they are princes, nobles or common people, they will all be hunted and killed!
Even if this time, there are many heads to kill and rivers of blood to be killed, I will eradicate the Black Lotus cult and will never tolerate it!
As the king of a country, I have always been at odds with the evil forces! I will never tolerate evil cults harming the people, and I must restore peace to the world!
You must remember clearly what I said and spread it around. I want the world to know my determination and that I am a good emperor who loves his people like a son..."
The officials in the Ascension Hall all lowered their heads and looked like they were listening carefully.
In fact, they were afraid that if they raised their heads, Emperor Jianwu would see the shocked expressions on their faces.
Are you at odds with the evil forces?
Are you a good emperor who loves his people like his own children?
Mom, does the emperor also know how to tell jokes?
After boasting about himself, Emperor Jianwu waved his hand and said: "You guys, please step aside! Tomorrow morning, I want to see the heads of the demons from the Black Lotus Sect and build a temple outside the Meridian Gate to deter the evil demons."
Several people from the yamen looked at each other in shock when they heard this.
Stand outside the Meridian Gate to view the capital?
The Meridian Gate is the gate of the imperial city.
Who in the right mind would stand in front of their home to watch? Don't you feel unlucky?
Besides, it’s impossible for the evil demon to easily run outside the Meridian Gate, right?
The most people who entered and exited the Meridian Gate were officials who went to court.
Is that Beijing Temple used to deter evil spirits, or is it to intimidate the officials of the DPRK and the Central Government and tell them not to go against you?
Some people wanted to persuade, but seeing the anger on Emperor Jianwu's face, they could only swallow the words of persuasion and hand them over.
After the officials from various yamen withdrew from the Dengxian Hall, a burly eunuch was introduced into the Dengxian Hall.
Emperor Jianwu looked at him and went straight to the point without any nonsense:
"That bitch Wang Jinzhong betrayed me. Now the editing factory is short of a person in charge. I plan to send you to take charge of the editing factory. Is there any problem?"
This eunuch is called Wei Bao. Like Wang Jinzhong, he is an old man who has followed Emperor Jianwu for a long time. However, because his cultivation is not as good as Wang Jinzhong's, he is not as useful.
Today, when he heard that Wang Jinzhong had rebelled, Wei Bao felt very happy.
Not only those who talk about cross talk look forward to death together, but also those who work as eunuchs.
There is a carrot and a pit. Only when someone dies can the pit be cleared.
But at this moment, Wei Bao, who was ecstatic in his heart, didn't show any of it on his face.
He first followed Emperor Jianwu's words and cursed Wang Jinzhong angrily, and even uttered obscene words, saying that he only hated himself for not having a treasure, otherwise he would have helped the emperor seduce Wang Jinzhong's biological mother to vent his anger on the emperor.
Then he knelt down, kowtowed heavily and swore: "I have no problem with you, slave. I am the emperor's dog. I will bite whoever the emperor asks me to bite!"
"very good."
Emperor Jianwu was still very satisfied with Wei Bao's attitude, but what this guy said about helping him become King Jinzhong's mother made him speechless.
After all, he hasn't reached the point where he even needs help with such things.
However, Wei Bao is a rude person, but he is commendable for his loyalty.
As long as you are loyal, you can use it.
Emperor Jianwu raised his hand, and a list of names was carried by blood and flew to Wei Bao.
"I have a list here of the leaders of the Black Lotus Sect in the Gyeonggi area. When you go out later, assign the people on the list to the Yamen Suppression Department, the Five City Soldiers and Horses Department and other yamen. Be sure to catch these black lotus sects as soon as possible. The leader of the Lotus Sect, tortured the believers' whereabouts from their mouths, and publicly tried and executed them! Let the people know that I am also a good emperor who makes decisions for the people."
"yes."
Wei Bao respectfully took the list and suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask:
"Your Majesty, if people from the Yamen such as the Demon Suppression Department and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department ask about the origin of this list, how should I answer?"
Emperor Jianwu's face darkened: "Do you want me to teach you this? Why don't you just tell them directly that you got the list from me, and that I am the Buddha behind this cult?"
Wei Bao hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Your Majesty, please calm down, please calm down... My servant said, is this a list secretly collected by the editor?"
It was rare for Emperor Jianwu to talk to him anymore, so he muttered: "Get out."
"Yes." Wei Bao responded, turned around and rolled up on the ground.
Just as he was getting out, Emperor Jianwu suddenly remembered something again and ordered:
"Send a few people to see what Qin Qiaoer and Qin Buruo are doing... Remember, don't say it's my order."
Wei Bao, who was rolling, responded hurriedly: "I understand, this slave."
Soon, Wei Bao rolled out of the Immortal Palace and then got up from the ground.
After he walked far away, Wei Bao's face showed a proud and evil smile.
At this moment, he completely lost the simple and honest look he had in the Immortal Palace before.
Having followed Emperor Jianwu for so many years, he knew very well that he had to act stupid in front of Emperor Jianwu in order to reassure the suspicious emperor.
After all, a somewhat stupid person can be more reassuring than a cunning person, right?
But soon, Wei Bao put away the smile on his face, quickly caught up with the people from the Demon Suppression Department and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department, and showed them the list.
Then he expressed his righteous indignation and wanted to eliminate evil spirits, relieve His Majesty's worries, and eliminate thieves for the people.
He looks like a loyal and good official.
