On this day, Han Fei's eyes were blank and he walked out of the palace tremblingly.
This was in sharp contrast to the high-spirited mood when he arrived.
He walked aimlessly on the street, and neither of his men dared to approach him, so they could only follow him from a distance.
However, as he walked, countless passers-by turned their attention.
They were all attracted by the large blood stain on Han Fei's back, and some even ran directly to report it to the police.
After all, no one can say for sure how the old man got all the blood in his body.
Soon, a group of officers and soldiers followed Han Fei.
Originally, they were going to arrest Han Fei directly and then interrogate him.
However, someone secretly recognized Han Fei, so their mission became to follow Han Fei.
Even the soldiers guarding the west city gate were ordered by their commander not to stop Han Fei.
So Han Fei walked out of the city gate unsteadily under the gaze of countless people.
Li Ergou on the top of the city also noticed this strange old man.
There are many people in Chang'an who can make the city guards dare not stop them.
Li Ergou had seen many people like this who were covered in blood and might have committed a murder. The officers and soldiers followed them but deliberately did not catch them and allowed them to walk out of Chang'an.
However, Li Ergou could only say that this was the first time he saw someone like this old man who had already left the city and had to stand at the city gate for half an hour.
I saw the old man staring at the huge city gate, as if there were some flowers on it.
Li Ergou expressed that he was very curious, and he was even a little worried, because the city gate was chopped down with a sword last time, and the craftsmen who repaired it cut corners, resulting in another hole in the city gate, and the old man saw it.
However, Li Ergou stuck his head out and looked around on the city wall, but he couldn't see any loopholes.
After staring at the city gate for a long time, the old man's back slowly disappeared into the wind and sand of the official road.
After that, Han Fei returned to Tianxia Academy and resumed his position as master.
However, every time before he gave a lecture to his disciples, he always said, 'Don't argue about the meaning of the law with people who don't understand the law.'
Time passed quickly, many people came and left in Chang'an City.
As the turmoil over the canonization of Queen Zhou gradually subsided, Chang'an City returned to the calmness it deserved for its age.
Li Ergou heard someone say that Fenglai Building had been closed, and Yun Yao, the top brand in the store, was missing.
Although this had nothing to do with him, it was just that when he was sitting drinking in Fugui Tavern, he could no longer hear the ditty from across the street.
The closure of Fenglai Tower had the greatest impact on the countless dignitaries in Chang'an who liked to listen to music and drink.
They have lost the wealth and luxury of Caishen Hall, and now they have lost the warm and fragrant nephrite of Feng Lai Tower, and their lives are almost lifeless.
And Chang'an has become a bit deserted due to the closure of Caishen Hall and Fenglai Tower.
After all, many people come from thousands of miles away just to see the two places that make Chang'an famous among all nine states.
But a big event happened in the past few days, that is, the third princess Jiang Zhiyuan went to Qingzhou.
The love affair between the third princess and King Xiaoyao caused a stir in the city, and was even more eye-catching than the marriage between the high-spirited eldest prince and the all-powerful eldest daughter of the Huo family.
Everyone thought that that day Emperor Zhou announced the canonization of the queen and held a grand wedding, and the person he would marry would be the third princess Jiang Zhiyuan.
However, no one expected that Concubine Liu, who was almost forgotten by people, would suddenly transform and become the queen in front of everyone.
This incident also shocked Jiuzhou, and also caused the trolls to focus on Qingzhou State Shepherd, Liu Jingxing.
In a situation like this with a complicated relationship, no one can tell how many twists and turns and entanglements there are.
But everyone saw a storm coming.
Qingzhou Prefect Liu Jingxing expressed his support for his granddaughter Jiang Zhiyuan.
He expressed great dissatisfaction with Zhou Ruoxiao's behavior of dumping his granddaughter, and shouted to Zhou Ruoxiao from a distance that he would fight all the way to Chang'an City to get an explanation from him.
How much power does a state pastor have?
At the beginning, the human race in the world was still divided into nine tribes, each of which had little contact with each other. Under the leadership of the Yizhou State Shepherd, they all fought wits and courage with the demon tribes around their respective tribes.
Until later, the nine state pastors united to fight against the demon clan. Although they were beaten back and forth, they could only defend Yongzhou with their lives. The nine state pastors also changed countless people, but the human race also fought bloody battles. , exerted great energy.
Therefore, when Emperor Jiang later founded Jiang State, he still gave the Kyushu state herders great autonomy.
In addition to concentrating military power on the boundaries of Yongzhou and Liangzhou, it can be said that the state pastors are also considered emperors in their own territory. After all, they don't see the human emperor a few times throughout the year.
Except for the Emperor's personal summons, the state pastors would only come to Chang'an to pay homage to the Emperor on his birthday or on some important dates.
The rest of the time, they sit in their respective territories and manage a huge territory. In their own state, the state herdsmen enjoy almost independent autonomy.
But this time, Qingzhou Prefect Liu Jingxing’s words were echoed and supported by several prefects.
Yanzhou Prefectural Mu Lengsi immediately expressed his support for Liu Jingxing's approach and publicly stated that Yanzhou and Qingzhou would advance and retreat together.
Xuzhou Prefect Xu Hanyu also stood decisively on their side.
The unanimous stance of these three state pastors immediately shocked the nine states.
This is the land of the Three States. Nearly one-third of the land was separated from the newly established Zhou Kingdom.
This has to make people ponder whether these three superior state pastors have colluded long ago.
Moreover, the positions of the three state pastors in Yuzhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou are also wavering, and they are all silent without a clear statement.
Only the Liangzhou Prefectural Shepherd Liang Chuang immediately spoke out and denounced the three prefectural herders of Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou for colluding with each other in an attempt to split the Kyushu people and shake the foundation of the newly settled Zhou Kingdom. It was simply a wolfish ambition.
Moreover, he also said that Liangzhou supports the current emperor Zhou Ruoxiao. If Emperor Zhou attacks the rebel state and rebels, he will definitely lead the entire Liangzhou to act as a vanguard.
As for Yongzhou Prefecture Mu Wu Mo Di, he scolded Qingzhou's Liu Jingxing indifferently.
He also expressed that he was on the side of Emperor Zhou. If he led troops on an expedition, he would also like to participate and be the vanguard for Emperor Zhou.
Emperor Zhou praised him for his courage, but advised him not to come in if there was a war. After all, the West Desert Kingdom is still watching.
As for Jizhou State Mu Wan Wentian, he also expressed that he would definitely side with Emperor Zhou.
However, compared to the uproar among the state shepherds, they expressed their positions with great fanfare, expressed their loyalty, and listed various crimes.
Emperor Zhou himself did nothing but praise those who stood on his side, scolded Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou, and then fell silent in the palace.
It seems that he doesn't care much about the rebellion in the three states.
However, no matter what Emperor Zhou thought, all the states were in full swing and began to have an undercurrent.
The people of Kyushu can clearly feel that there are more soldiers around them, and notices recruiting soldiers are posted all over the streets and alleys.
A nervous smell of gunpowder seems to have once again spread throughout this land that has experienced the baptism of blood and war.
The people who had lived and worked in peace and contentment for so long instinctively resisted the smell.
The Tianxia Academy in Yangzhou even stood up and spoke out, accusing Liu Jingxing, the governor of Qingzhou, of openly rebelling and revolting in an attempt to restart the war and put the people in dire straits.
However, soon, Tianxia Academy was suppressed by Xu Hanyu, the governor of Yangzhou, and had to stop.
On this day, it started to rain lightly in Kyushu.
There was a layer of dark clouds in the sky, and the rain poured freely on the land of Kyushu, like a final bath for a pilgrim who was about to go to pray.
On the muddy road, a carriage was driving swayingly. A rough hand stretched out of the carriage and placed it outside to catch the rain.
"This rain is born in the sky and dies on the earth. The process in between is its life."
He Shengbai withdrew his hand and looked at the water-stained hand quietly, wondering what he was thinking about.
A violent jolt woke up Yin Xiaolian, who was sleeping in the carriage. She raised her sleepy eyes and let out a small complaint.
"Where are we going? Haven't we arrived yet? How far is it?"
He Shengbai smiled and put her head on his lap, comforting her to fall asleep again.
"It's still early! It's a place far, far away..."
There is not only one viewer of this rain.
In an antique pavilion in Qingzhou, Jiang Zhiyuan was wearing a white cloak and a thin white skirt, with a haggard look on his face.
She raised her slender jade hands, letting the rain outside the window wet her palms, and quietly watched the water flowers bloom one after another in her palms.
Soon, a magnetic male voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Yuan'er, come inside and rest. Don't catch a cold."
Liu Jingxing walked over slowly and looked at Jiang Zhiyuan with a distressed expression.
"I know." Jiang Zhiyuan just replied lightly, but had no intention of leaving the window.
Chang'an City.
An ordinary little carriage came to the west gate.
The city guard stopped as usual, wanting to check the situation inside the carriage.
Just as the coachman was about to say something, an old voice came from the carriage.
"I'd better get out of the car."
Wang Daofan slowly walked out of the carriage, and the city guards and the people at the west gate knelt down one after another.
"I have met the Prime Minister!"
Wang Daofan waved his hand and said, "I am no longer the Prime Minister."
Wang Daofan got off the carriage, held up an umbrella, and walked towards the city gate, murmuring, "That guy, can't he lie to me..."
When he was about to walk out of the city gate, Wang Daofan suddenly looked back.
Dark clouds gathered around the palace in the distance, casting a faint shadow on the golden building.
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and the bright palace seemed to collapse.
Wang Daofan smiled and turned around, leaving Chang'an City with a faint silhouette in the rain.
