Kyoto gradually returned to its previous appearance.
Gu Xiaotian had to sigh that Sun Gusheng did have some talent in handling government affairs as an emperor. How could you tell in Kyoto at this time? It had experienced many monster sieges and court battles before. The common people It was clearly a scene of people living and working in peace and contentment.
As for those ministers killed by Chen Haichuan, these positions are still vacant for the time being. Everyone knows that the court seems to be a harmonious scene now, but in fact some court officials have begun to secretly worry about their own fate, even more so. Some people had already secretly left Kyoto under the cover of darkness.
Because Guan Jing and Li Pingping released Shenhai in the previous battle, their condition at this time was naturally not as good as before. Fortunately, the deterrence of the two of them was there. Li Pingping naturally continued to be responsible for other major and minor matters in the court, while Guan Jing A group of new soldiers were recruited, hoping to train a group of border troops.
The secret pavilion of the Secret Investigation Department was destroyed, but all the subordinates of the Secret Investigation Department had already entered the palace. Now the Secret Investigation Department was no longer a secret. Fortunately, Sun Gusheng did not hide it and put the Secret Investigation Department in the open. Come up.
This is actually a kind of shock in disguise.
I just want to tell those officials that there are countless pairs of eyes that will always be watching them secretly.
The two major aristocratic families in Kyoto are still Gu and Yang, but the status of the Yang family in Kyoto has obviously dropped a bit compared to before. Mainly because of this fight, the Yang family finally chose to protect themselves.
But in fact, this is a reasonable choice. The Yang family doesn't care about the rumors. Even the Gu family didn't say anything, so what others say is not that important.
Gu Xiaotian had a lot of leisure these days, and finally had a good sleep in the mansion.
At three o'clock in the morning, Gu Xiaocai got up from the bed, stretched out, and stared at the window in confusion. At some point, a letter fell on the window.
After reading the content, Gu Xiaotian couldn't help but frown and muttered to himself: "How could this be so?"
Gu Xiaotian quickly put on his clothes, took the letter, and immediately went to the palace.
Just as he entered the palace, he saw the Minister of Dali Temple also arriving here. The Minister of Dali Temple saluted to Gu Xiaotian and said with a smile: "Master Gu, Kyoto is indebted to you this time."
Now Gu Xiaotian is considered the most special person in the entire Kyoto. He does not hold any official position, but he can enter and exit the palace freely. Any official lower than the third rank must give him a big salute when they see him.
Gu Xiaotian replied briefly, said a few words casually, and left in a hurry.
The Minister of Dali Temple scratched his head, what big thing happened?
He originally wanted to talk to Sun Gusheng about something, but when he saw Gu Xiaotian heading straight to the Yangxin Hall, he turned around and left after thinking about it.
In the Yangxin Hall, Sun Gusheng was approving the memorial.
There are mountains of memorials piled up there, but in fact most of the contents are about impeaching certain officials, and there is a common phenomenon that subordinates want to impeach superiors.
This was something that was rare or even non-existent in the previous DPRK and China. No one dared to jump to impeachment. If the impeachment was successful, that would be fine. But if it was not successful, then basically there would be no chance of continuing in the DPRK. .
But something is different now. Everyone knows that the positions of the other four ministers are vacant. At this time, only by eliminating the resistance in front of them can we climb up to that position step by step.
Looking at these impeachment memorials, Sun Gusheng rubbed his head. If he had said he could impeach easily, he would have done so already. But if they all approved, then there would be no one left in the court.
At this point, only the Ministry of Works did the best. The Ministry of Works' excuse was just to repair a certain place. In fact, there was no need to report such matters at all, but the Ministry of Works still did so.
Thinking of this, Sun Gusheng smiled bitterly.
In the end, it is these people from the Ministry of Industry who are the most reassuring.
Just as he was wrapping his clothes around, Sun Gusheng saw Gu Xiaotian rushing here in a hurry.
Before Sun Gusheng stood up to greet him, Gu Xiaotian had already rushed to Sun Gusheng, slapped the letter he got this morning on the table, and asked, "Did you pass it on?"
Sun Gusheng shook his head and said, "I never sent a letter to you."
Gu Xiaotian frowned slightly, if it wasn't Sun Gusheng, then who could it be?
He had only told Sun Gusheng about this before, asking him to pay more attention to the movements of the Ten Thousand Demons Association, but the content of this letter this morning was really too shocking.
It does contain information about the Ten Thousand Demons Association, but it is too detailed.
Including how many demons the Ten Thousand Demons Association still has in their hands and where they are hidden, and even those who are still secretly in contact with the Ten Thousand Demons Association are written down clearly.
Except for a few officials, those who are secretly connected with the Ten Thousand Demons Association are mostly second- and third-rate families.
Gu Xiaotian originally wanted to settle accounts with those aristocratic families these days, but now it seems that it is really difficult.
Although second- and third-rate families are nothing in front of Gu Xiaotian, if there are too many, they cannot be underestimated.
Gu Xiaotian thought about it and couldn't figure out who would be so concerned about this matter.
Sun Gusheng asked: "Could it be Alliance Leader Gu?"
Gu Xiaotian shook his head. With Gu Qingfeng's character, there was no need to send a letter to him without signing it.
Gu Qingfeng didn't even need to take action personally, Gu Qingfeng took care of these people first.
Gu Xiaotian really couldn't think of an answer to the guess of the messenger.
However, since the other party has sent the letter, it is natural to investigate whether this matter is true or false.
Gu Xiaotian handed the letter to Sun Gusheng, and Sun Gusheng asked the Secret Investigation Department to proofread it.
…
…
A few days have passed, and there is still no response from the Secret Investigation Department. This is enough to prove that the content of this letter is mostly true and is extremely difficult to detect.
Even if there are clues in front of you, it is not easy to find out.
This made Gu Xiaotian even more doubtful about the identity of the messenger.
Who on earth knows so much and helps him so much?
At some point, Zhao Qixing came behind Gu Xiaotian like a ghost and said lightly: "Maybe I know who it is."
Gu Xiaotian was so frightened that he turned around to look at Zhao Qixing and cursed: "You damn near scared me to death."
Zhao Qixing scratched his head and smiled.
After Sun Yanlu's battle, Yun Hanxing only gave Gu Xiaotian a few instructions before leading the team back to Taibai. They were originally here to support Gu Xiaotian, and since the matter was over, there was no need for them to stay.
However, when he looked at Yun Hanxing's expression before leaving, he probably hoped that Gu Xiaotian could return to Taibai immediately. After all, he was also a Taibai disciple, so he was like floating outside all year round.
Gu Xiaotian agreed repeatedly. Now he can resist Yun Hanxing's swords several times, but deep down he is still afraid of her.
Zhao Qixing and Cheng Sanyi did stay, but Cheng Sanyi spent all day in Kyoto eating, drinking, and living like a warrior. Moreover, with the name of the Gu family, Cheng Sanyi could be said to have become a man of the hour in Kyoto. , the reason is that "Master Cheng" is generous!
Gu Xiaotian did not continue arguing with Zhao Qixing and asked directly: "Do you really know who it is?"
Zhao Qixing nodded firmly.
"who is it?"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qixing suddenly became mute and kept silent.
Seeing Zhao Qixing's behavior, Gu Xiaotian wished he could draw his sword and hit him now.
Looking at Gu Xiaotian who was about to get angry, Zhao Qixing quickly said: "Of course I can't say who it is, but I can remind you of something."
Gu Xiaotian crossed his hands on his chest with a gloomy look on his face.
This damn Taoist priest only spoke half of what he said. Today he just wanted to see what ivory could come out of Zhao Qixing's dog mouth.
Zhao Qixing cleared his throat, pretended to be mysterious, and said, "Think about it carefully, what did you rely on to defeat Sun Yanlu this time?"
Gu Xiaotian frowned and said, "Isn't it up to you?"
Zhao Qixing huffed, "That's true, but not entirely true."
Before Gu Xiaotian could ask the next sentence, Zhao Qixing clasped his hands together and murmured: "I can't say any more. I've told you so much. If this continues, my life span will be shortened. The secret cannot be leaked."
Zhao Qixing's words made Gu Xiaotian concentrate on thinking.
After winning against Sun Yanlu, apart from Zhao Qixing and the others, who else is the key to victory or defeat?
He carefully recalled the battle with Sun Yanlu that day.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he uttered two words, "Seal!"
Zhao Qixing was expressionless, neither admitting nor denying.
"It's him……"
Gu Xiaotian couldn't believe it, but if it was really that person, then everything before would be explained.
Why are you so familiar with the Ten Thousand Demons Association? Why do you know that you are still looking for the Ten Thousand Demons Association and are still helping you?
Gu Xiaotian rubbed his head and couldn't figure out the reason.
It seems that everything will become complicated and confusing if there is some connection with that person.
The answer is never put in front of you, but you are left to guess.
Gu Xiaotian is now one of the top two, and there is destined to be a life-and-death battle between him and Song Bufan.
But now, the person who wants to fight you to the death has saved you and helped you many times. I really don't know what he wants.
Zhao Qixing looked at his appearance and asked softly: "Now that you have figured it out, what are you going to do next?"
Gu Xiaotian raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhao Qixing, vaguely feeling that Zhao Qixing must know something.
However, he is not asking for trouble. Even if Zhao Qixing really knows, he may not say it.
Gu Xiaotian immediately left the room and went to the Yangxin Hall again to synchronize the news with Sun Gusheng.
Looking at Gu Xiaotian's retreating back, Zhao Qixing clicked his tongue twice, "If you ask more questions, I will tell you that you have to make trouble for yourself."
As he said this, a trace of aura rose outside the house.
Zhao Qixing smiled softly, walked out of the house, and reached out to hold the breath of the door.
A black shadow appeared in front of Zhao Qixing.
Zhao Qixing let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you are fine."
Some people died, but not completely...
