When the powerful Jiang-shaped thunderbolt fell, which seemed to destroy the entire city of Chang'an, all the people in Chang'an fled in all directions, trying to find some sense of security under the fragile houses.
Even several big families in Chang'an City have packed their things and are blocking the city gate, eager to leave the city.
However, at this time, the city gate was blocked by a panicked crowd.
Heavenly thunder is the punishment of heaven to punish all things in the world.
The fear of this thunder has been engraved in the bones of all creatures on the ground.
However, there will always be creatures on earth who dare to face the power of thunder.
At that moment, all the people who looked up at the sky saw darkness in front of them.
When they opened their eyes again, the sky was clear and clear, as if there was nothing at all.
Even some warriors with weak cultivation did not see clearly what happened at that moment.
However, the eyes of those warriors who had reached the middle level or even the upper level looked at Zhou Ruoxiao with awe and even fear.
"This sword is called the founding of the country!"
Zhou Ruoxiao stood on the ridge of the imperial palace. Behind him, a shadow covering the sky and the earth was visible to the people of Chang'an as soon as they raised their heads.
Zhou Ruoxiao was seen slowly putting away the Human Emperor Sword, and the shadow in the sky was doing the same thing as him.
The Third Princess's Mansion.
Jiang Zhiyuan and Jiang Xianfeng were standing on the roof together, looking up at Zhou Ruoxiao's huge figure.
"Look, look, look! Brother Zhou is so awesome! This aura, this strength, wow wow wow wow! I can't stand it anymore!" Jiang Zhiyuan excitedly held Jiang Xianfeng around with both hands.
Jiang Xianfeng was so frightened that she held on to Jiang Zhiyuan's arm, fearing that she would accidentally knock him away.
The guards who had been guarding below were also extremely nervous, fearing that the fourth prince would be accidentally pushed down by the third princess under their noses, and they would not get any good results.
At the same time, Qin Tianjian.
Yu Jiayan was leisurely taking a bite of roast chicken, drinking a sip of wine, and smacking his lips from time to time. His mouth was full of oil from what he was eating, and his clothes were stained with hazelnuts.
"Eat well, drink well, and have a good trip!" Yu Jiayan laughed.
Zhang Wenling, who was standing at the door, saluted respectfully and said, "Thanks to brother Yu's good words, I will take the first step today. I also hope that brother Yu can get rid of the shackles of the palace as soon as possible."
"Haha, I put the shackles on myself, and I was entrusted by others, so I stayed here." Yu Jiayan tore off a chicken wing and stuffed it into his mouth, saying vaguely.
"But after staying here for a long time, even though it is boring, it still makes me unable to think about leaving." Zhang Wenling said with emotion.
"That's because you can always find something to do here." Yu Jiayan said, "Chang'an is like this, it makes everyone living here drown in endless trivial matters, boring and boring, but unable to extricate themselves. "
"It's never about finding people to do things, but people looking for things to do. If you work hard all day long, you will accomplish nothing in the end." Zhang Wenling sighed, "Now I realize that so long has passed in the palace. These years have really It feels like a world away."
"This is all time urging you to do what you want to do and what you should do." Yu Jiayan smiled, "It's almost time, it's time for you to go, don't keep our Queen Mother waiting. Chang'an is not her There is no longer a place for her to stay, so wandering around the world might not be a good place to end up."
Zhang Wenling bowed thoughtfully and left.
Soon, Zhang Wenling knocked on the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion under the surprised eyes of several ministers at the door.
Zhang Wenling walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Several ministers were stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and started to follow.
Naturally, they knew this eunuch who was promoted by Emperor Jiang from an unknown little eunuch to become the general manager of the palace.
However, they, the high-ranking civil servants, looked down upon such a mutilated person from the bottom of their hearts.
In their view, it is really degrading to be a eunuch to be a eunuch at the hands of your parents.
However, they had no time to think about why they had been kneeling here for so long. The door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was tightly closed, but this useless man opened it as soon as he came.
He followed Zhang Wenling directly, wanting to enter together.
However, this door seemed to have intelligence. After Zhang Wenling entered, it was immediately closed.
Bang!
The minister who was walking in front reacted quickly and pulled his head back in time, but his nose was still rubbed by the hard wooden door, and bright red nosebleeds flowed out like free money.
The minister didn't bother to wipe his nosebleed, and banged against the door desperately, trying to open it.
The minister was also a little impatient, and even used some cultivation skills for this collision.
If it were an ordinary wooden door, it would be shattered into pieces by him.
After all, they were also important officials of the imperial court. They had been kneeling outside for so long and had been angry for so long. If it weren't for the fact that this was the Prime Minister's residence, they would not have dared to act rashly, otherwise they would have broken in.
But now that they finally had an excuse to vent, how could they still endure it.
Even if they rush in and make the Prime Minister dissatisfied, they can completely blame Zhang Wenling, a useless person. It is said that his sly look in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion made them think that Zhang Wenling was trying to do evil things to the Prime Minister, so he was in a hurry. He had no choice but to break in.
In fact, they also guessed that the Prime Minister might not want to wade into the muddy waters of Chang'an. After all, there was such a big movement in Chang'an, and it was impossible for Wang Daofan not to know about it.
But they really couldn't bear to see Jiang Guo's inheritance destroyed. Now the eldest prince and second prince seemed to have passed away one after another. Needless to say, the third princess was rumored to have slept with Zhou Ruoxiao. The fourth prince was ignorant of current affairs, so he actually gave away the Human Emperor Sword.
Looking at the present moment, the only one who has the strength to stand up and turn the tide is the Prime Minister.
As long as the Prime Minister shouts loudly and the important officials in the court rush to die, Zhou Ruoxiao will be able to stop Zhou Ruoxiao's ascension to the throne.
As long as they can delay it for a day or two, when the news is released, the Jiuzhou state pastors will come with King Qin's troops. Zhou Ruoxiao will definitely have to bow his head and wait for execution. By then, the fourth prince will be enthroned, and the Jiuzhou world will still be the Jiang Kingdom. of!
But this was all just their imagination, and reality snapped their thoughts back coldly.
Bang bang bang
The seemingly fragile wooden door was like a copper wall at this moment, firmly blocking them out.
The ministers were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, constantly trying various means to try to open the door.
But when a smell of fear came from the door, they all backed away, their faces horrified.
This sense of oppression from cultivation, and the trace of anger in this breath made them feel fear from the bottom of their hearts, which came from the fear of death.
After a while, a cold and biting murderous aura began to spread out, and all the ministers could no longer stand.
This faint murderous aura made them have no doubt that if they stayed any longer, the Prime Minister would really kill them all in a rage.
At this time, they also knew that the reason why the Prime Minister did not show up before was not because he was still hesitant to wait and see, but because he had already made plans to support Zhou Ruoxiao as the emperor.
At the same time, Zhang Wenling, who walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion, was in a peach blossom forest.
The endless peach blossom petals are dancing, making people dazzled and unable to see the path under their feet.
Zhang Wenling kept walking forward, and the peach blossom forest around him kept changing. It was difficult to tell whether he was going in circles or not.
However, Zhang Wenling didn't seem to care about the beautiful scenery around him, and just walked along a path at his feet.
And I don’t know how long this trail is. After walking for a long time, I didn’t see any forks in the road or any buildings.
I don’t know how long they walked, but Zhang Wenling’s face remained calm. Suddenly, endless peach blossoms flew towards the sky, and even the petals that were falling flew up upside down.
Everything in Zhang Wenling's eyes was changing rapidly, and he could only see countless blurry shadows flickering.
Finally, when everything calmed down, Zhang Wenling opened his eyes.
It turned out that he had been standing next to the peach blossom pond in the yard, looking down at the peach blossoms in the pond.
Not far away, Wang Daofan was looking at him with a smile on his face, and He Shengbai on the side also looked curious.
"Why did Mr. Zhang have time to come to my humble abode today? He couldn't have wanted to come and see me!" Wang Daofan asked with a smile.
He Shengbai also stared at Zhang Wenling with great curiosity. He had also heard about Zhang Wenling, the palace manager, but he rarely entered the palace and had little contact with Zhang Wenling. He only knew that Zhang Wenling had always been close to the Queen Mother.
Zhang Wenling looked up at Zhou Ruoxiao's huge figure in the sky and said softly, "I have kept the rules of the palace for so many years, and it's time to leave today."
Wang Daofan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "For us people, there are no rules. You can leave anytime you want. But now that you leave, the Qinxin Palace you have guarded for so many years will become deserted. I know who will serve the Queen Mother."
"I want to take someone away from the palace." Zhang Wenling said solemnly.
Wang Daofan looked at his resolute face, seemed to have thought of something, and said in surprise, "Could it be that you want to take away the Queen Mother!"
He Shengbai on the side stood up in shock. The concubines, maids, and eunuchs in the palace were not allowed to leave the palace under orders, especially the concubines and even the queen. Without the permission of the Emperor, they could not leave the palace. Not allowed to go out.
What's more, the Queen Mother, although she has now become the former Queen Mother, but...
Yes, does a former Queen Mother still need to abide by the rules?
He Shengbai held his chin and fell into deep thought.
Zhang Wenling looked directly at Wang Daofan and said, "Yes, I want to take her out of Chang'an."
"You can mention it to the current Emperor Zhou. I believe that given your face, he will agree." Wang Daofan said with a smile.
Zhang Wenling shook his head and said, "No, in that case, she still hasn't left the palace."
Wang Daofan smiled, nodded and said, "I understand, don't worry, I won't stop you. I also hope that no one will stop me on the day I want to leave."
Zhang Wenling bowed and saluted, turned around and walked out the door.
Wang Daofan looked at his back, a smile appeared on his lips, and then he looked at Zhou Ruoxiao's shadow in the sky.
"It looks like your founding ceremony was really lively."
