The sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. Liang Xingyang was walking on the streets of Beijing.
The atmosphere was more solemn than when he was shopping a few months ago. There were obviously fewer people shopping and playing. Many shops had boarded up their doors and windows, and many houses had seals on their doors.
From time to time, pairs of officers and soldiers passed by escorting prisoners, some with one or two, some with three or four, and still others with many more, men, women, old and young, bringing their families with them, all in shackles. , locked it up, and hurried away crying.
The weather has changed, the emperor has changed, and the evil evil party has been eradicated and completely liquidated.
Zhang Tianxi was sent to the late emperor's tomb and buried alive in it. The new emperor took away the Kowloon Emperor's seal, dismissed him from his official position, and had his statues smashed in Chenghuang temples across the country. He lost everything and was worse than ordinary people. My hair turned white overnight, and my heavenly light became dull, so I had no choice but to tie up my hands.
All the commanders and flag bearers under him were replaced, some were removed from their posts, and some were imprisoned. Many of them saw the opportunity early when working in other places and ran away in advance. The rest were not well-served. The more powerful they were in the past, , the more violent the jump, the more miserable it will be at this time.
King Ming believed that the Acupuncture Party was the main culprit in causing chaos in the country. He had watched the Acupuncture Party's actions with cold eyes over the years and accumulated endless resentment, which all exploded at this time.
Liang Xingyang returned to his home. There was still a talisman seal on the door, but it had expired. He turned it into ashes with a wave of his hand.
Entering the courtyard, grass has grown in many places. When the house was ransacked, it was messed up. Some furniture was moved into the courtyard, and many were smashed. Bottles, cans, bedding and pillows were all thrown into the courtyard. On the ground...
According to his original intention, he even wanted to go to Feixiao Peak Xuanqiong Cave in Yuxiao Mountain to clean it up, but he didn't want this house!
It's just that the Liang family is separated, and he has to find them and bring them to the capital, where they can be used as a home.
Moreover, now that King Ming has become the emperor, he could not defeat the Golden Lantern Sect in the past, but now he should be able to do so. Cooperate with the court to go to the south to extinguish the Golden Lantern Sect, and then bring back the Liang family. After completing these things, he will return to Shanqingxiu Temple. most.
So, he went to the street to find Ren Yazi again.
Because a large number of wealthy families had their homes confiscated, a small number of them were sent into exile, and some of the remaining women were sent to the Jiaofang Division. Many were bought by Qing Liu Niang, and the rest flowed into the "talent market." "sell.
Liang Xingyang quickly bought twenty more honest-looking young men, came back and asked them to clean the courtyard, clean the room, assign duties, draw up regulations, and took out two hundred taels of silver from the Qiankun bag and put it in the account. , allowing them to withdraw their daily expenses.
These people all came from the family of the "prison officer", they had met each other before, and their eyesight was not very shallow. They saw that although Liang Xingyang was young, he was an immortal with magic, and he knew that he could move his head with just a wave of his hand. Don't dare to fool around, get the job done, and do it carefully.
After settling the affairs at home, Liang Xingyang came out to talk to the emperor about the Golden Lantern Sect.
However, he could not enter the palace, and they even refused to inform him. Even if he was an official, he had to be of a high enough rank to have the opportunity to hand over the information to the emperor. Then he would wait for the emperor to have time before summoning anyone. We can't even meet each other.
Liang Xingyang asked to see Xia Yuanjun again, but the result was the same. No one informed the prince, so he could only wait for the other party to summon him.
He took out the Dragon Soul Pendant and asked the other party: "Do you recognize this?"
The guard guarding the door sneered: "So what if they have the Dragon Soul Pendant? There are too many people with the Dragon Soul Pendant, and the Emperor can't see everyone!"
As the saying goes, the third-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, he, the guard in front of the palace, is naturally even more extraordinary.
Liang Xingyang was speechless, wishing he could throw the Dragon Soul Pendant on the other person's face and ask him to send it back to the emperor, but then he thought about it, this was not the attitude of Xia Cunhao and his son, and he could not blame him arbitrarily.
He resisted the urge to rush in directly, turned around and rushed to Prince Ming's Mansion. He wanted to find a few people in the Prince's Mansion who knew him, especially the Mang Fu. If he could find him, he would definitely be able to meet Xia Yuanjun.
However, Xia Yuanjun became the crown prince, and Mang Fu also followed him into the palace to become a taipan. The original people in Prince Ming's Mansion all followed the chickens and dogs to heaven, and now a group of servants are here to clean and look after the house.
In desperation, Liang Xingyang ran to the Ministry of Justice again.
He was asked to come when Xia Cunhao was still King Ming. Now that Xia Cunhao is the emperor, he will try again.
In the Ministry of Justice, the Minister of Justice was still the same, and he was as enthusiastic as ever: "Since you told me last time, we have sent special personnel to Jiangnan to investigate, whether it is the commissioner we sent, the local governor, the commander-in-chief, or the prefect. All the reports that come up say that everything is normal, that the Golden Lamp Sect is an orthodox religion that guides people to be good, and that there are no problems."
Liang Xingyang said anxiously: "They have all converted to the Golden Lantern Sect! There have been riots in all states in Liyuan..."
"Please be patient and listen to what I have to say." The minister personally poured tea for Liang Xingyang and invited him to drink it. "I also asked people to ask the questions you mentioned. They said that the local tyrants were unkind and exploited the people for the sake of their wealth, which almost caused a civil commotion. If it weren't for the local officials' efforts to calm the people, it would have caused disasters like those in the northwest! No one has rebelled so far, thanks to the persuasion of the Golden Lantern Sect."
Liang Xingyang was so angry that he held the Dragon Soul Pendant in his hand: "You write a memorial to the emperor, and I will co-sign on it. Let's go to the Jinluan Palace together and tell it in front of the emperor!"
The minister laughed and said, "The imperial court naturally has its own laws. Let's be honest. Mr. Liang Xiaozhen, the emperor has too many things to worry about right now, and he can't even care about Jiangnan."
"What troubles your Majesty?"
"The power of the anti-party is too great, and it is deeply intertwined. From the central government to the local government, it must be thoroughly cleaned up without causing a big chaos, and the world can be restored to a peaceful world. This is the first difficult task." The minister said and stretched out his second finger. The head said, "I just received the news yesterday that the Lianshan Sect in the north is powerful. The 300,000 troops we sent out were beaten to pieces, with countless casualties. The Lianshan Sect demons have already passed Wanquan Pass!"
"Huh? Is the Lianshan Cult so powerful? Is it more powerful than the White Bone Cult?"
"Much more powerful! Alas." The minister sighed, "Each of them has their own strengths, and I heard that the Bone Sect in the northwest is showing signs of resurgence. Tell me, compared with these two places, Jin The Deng Cult did not raise its flag to rebel, but also helped the court stabilize the place and persuade people to do good, so how could the court have the energy to take care of him first?"
After coming out of the Ministry of Punishment, Liang Xingyang thought about it all the way, and still felt that the harm of the Golden Lantern Sect was not to the White Bone Sect and the Lianshan Sect. It is not obvious at the moment, but if things go on like this, it will corrode the foundation and destroy the foundation of Daxia. When it finally breaks out, it will shake the mountains and the earth, and collapse the houses!
Instead of going home, he returned to the outside of the imperial city. Looking at the tall Forbidden City, he decided to find a way to get in and make the emperor realize the real dangers of the Golden Lantern Sect!
