After leaving Qianqing Palace, Yu Huatian did not leave the palace directly. Instead, he went to Cining Palace first and served as a 'tool man' for the dissatisfied Concubine Wan Gui before leaving the palace with a cold face.
It's not that Yuhuatian has a pure heart and is not close to women, it's because of his physical defects that he is powerless.
Every time he went to Cining Palace, the most he would do was rub elbows with Concubine Wan Gui, and then use his superb skills to bring Concubine Wan Gui to the top in various ways, but he could do nothing.
And because he entered the palace every three days, there were a lot of rumors in the court. Many people even discussed privately that he was able to achieve his current status by climbing onto Concubine Wan Gui's embroidery bed.
Therefore, it has been almost half a year since the establishment of the West Factory. Although it also controls the right to kill first and report later, its prestige in the court is still not as good as that of the East Factory.
The officials were far less afraid and fearful of Xichang than they were of Dongchang.
This situation is intolerable to everyone.
As time went by, Yu Huatian developed a feeling of resistance and even disgust towards going to Cining Palace.
But at this moment, Concubine Wan Gui was still the most favored concubine in the palace. It was not the time to fall out with her before she completely took control of the power in the palace.
Therefore, no matter how hard he resisted the disgust in his heart, every time Wan Guifei summoned her, Yu Huatian could only find time to enter the palace to satisfy her selfish desires.
"One day, I will definitely break this situation. Without relying on anyone, let Xichang surpass all institutions and become the true uncrowned king of Ming Dynasty!"
Coming out of the palace, Yu Huatian looked gloomy, and his desire for power became even stronger.
This kind of life and death is controlled by others and forced to do things that one does not like. Every day that passes is torture.
Once he seizes the opportunity, he will definitely climb up with all his strength, climb to the highest step by step, and will no longer be controlled by anyone!
When we returned to West Factory, it was almost dark.
Deputy Governor Tan Luzi and Ma Jinliang and several other stalls were nowhere to be seen, and most of the masters from the West Factory were not in the Yamen. Yuhuatian called someone to ask and found out that they had all gone on a mission.
When Yuhuatian heard this, he immediately understood what they were doing. He did not ask carefully, but went straight to his inner palace for retreat and continued to transform the true energy of the Sunflower Book.
According to the information obtained by Tan Luzi, it should be some time before the treasure of Dabai Shangguo is released.
Before setting off, he must complete the transformation of the true energy of the Sunflower Book as soon as possible so that he can have more power to protect himself when he goes to the desert to fight for the treasures of the Great White Kingdom.
…
Night fell, a cold wind blew across the capital, and the lights of thousands of houses went out.
In the north of the palace, outside the Shenwu Gate, there is the Fusi Yamen of Jinyiwei North Town.
Jinyiwei is divided into two yamen, the North and South Town Fusi. Due to different powers, although the Nansi will also go on missions, it is mainly responsible for managing the personnel files of the sergeants and military craftsmen within Jinyiwei. Therefore, there is only one yamen in charge of thousands of households, and the total number is less than Two thousand people.
The Beizhen Fusi is responsible for punishment, setting up imperial prisons to arrest prisoners, and has many external tasks. Therefore, of the 14 thousand households of Jinyiwei, the Beizhen Fusi occupies 13, with a total number of more than 13,000. Multiple people.
The 1,000 households in these 13 1,000-house offices are also called the "Thirteen Taibao" of Beizhen Fusi. They are ranked according to the time when they were promoted to 1,000 households.
These thirteen thousand households spend most of their time handling cases outside. Of course, there will also be people from the Yamen of Beizhen Fusi.
The person on duty at the Yamen today is the Thirteenth Taibao, Lu Wenzhao.
Before Lu Wenzhao joined the Jinyi Guards, he was a frontier general and participated in the famous Battle of Sarhu. Although he had no backer in the court, with his excellent strength and ability, as well as his ability to judge the situation and his forbearance, In just a few years, he became a Qianhu.
Moreover, his subordinates Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian and others are also of extraordinary strength and have strong case-handling abilities. They are among the outstanding young talents of Jinyiwei in recent years.
Therefore, Lu Wenzhao's reputation has become very prominent in recent years. With him personally in charge of Beizhen Fusi, generally no unscrupulous person would dare to cause trouble.
But at this time, as the night fell, a group of figures armed with weapons openly broke into the Fusi gate of Beizhen.
"Bang, bang——"
With two crisp sounds, the two Jin Yi guards on duty at the door were directly beaten into the mansion and let out two screams.
This group of people did not kill anyone. A man in front of him wearing a purple python robe calmly said: "Let Lu Wenzhao come out to see me!"
"Who are you?!"
Jin Yiwei, who fell to the ground, gritted his teeth and asked.
"I am the deputy governor of the West Factory, Tan Luzi!"
Tan Luzi said coldly.
"Xichang..."
The expressions of the two Jinyi guards changed, their eyes filled with fear, and they immediately turned around to report.
"Tap tap tap——"
After a while, following the sound of dense footsteps, a group of figures wearing flying fish uniforms hurriedly came.
The leader was Lu Wenzhao. At this moment, his brows were furrowed and his face was solemn. He didn't know what the people from Xichang were doing.
When he saw the group of West Factory masters at the door who were all fierce and wolf-like, Lu Wenzhao's pupils shrank slightly and his heart became even heavier.
With his eyesight, he can naturally see that these people are all elites of the West Factory. I am afraid they are here with bad intentions!
Looking at Tan Luzi with a gloomy and indifferent face in front of him, he was more sure of his guess, suppressed the fear in his heart, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "I wonder why Mr. Tan came to our Bei Division late at night?"
Tan Luzi glanced at him coldly and said, "I am now the deputy governor of Xichang. According to my rank, I am your superior officer. Do you need me to teach you how to salute your superior when you see him?"
Lu Wenzhao's expression changed slightly, but he still controlled his emotions. He bowed to Tan Luzi and said, "I am here to see you, sir. I wonder why you came to see Lu?"
Seeing this, Tan Luzi narrowed his eyes slightly. No wonder the governor said that Lu Wenzhao was very ambitious and could endure it so much. It was indeed not something ordinary people could do.
However, his identity is different now, and he is not afraid of Lu Wenzhao. He took out a scroll from his arms, threw it to Lu Wenzhao, and said: "I have ordered you to go on a mission with me in the West Factory in three days. , this is the transfer order from the Northern Division."
Lu Wenzhao's expression changed again, and he quickly opened the scroll and saw that it was indeed the handwriting of Wang Yi, the governor of Beisi, with the seal of Beisi underneath.
Lu Wenzhao's heart sank, and he instantly understood the purpose of Tan Luzi's visit.
Xichang is preparing to take action against Jin Yiwei!
No wonder!
Yu Huatian single-handedly planned the civil strife in the East Factory. Now that several principals of the East Factory are dead, it is the best time for the West Factory to expand its power. How could he miss this golden opportunity?
But Lu Wenzhao didn't expect that Yuhuatian did not fight Cao Zhengchun, the current governor of the East Factory, but instead attacked Jinyiwei.
Moreover, in just two days, he unknowingly convinced Beisi Town Governor and obtained the transfer order.
This is coming prepared!
Lu Wenzhao felt heavy in his heart, but Tan Luzi had the command from the Northern Division and his behavior was completely in line with the rules, so he could not find a reason to refuse.
What's more, now is not the time to fall out with Xichang...
Thinking of this, Lu Wenzhao suppressed the anger in his heart, held his hands in a deep voice, and said: "I humbly obey my orders!"
Tan Luzi looked at him deeply, a little surprised that Lu Wenzhao was so obedient.
Compared with the two divisions of Jinyiwei and South Division, Wang Yi, the governor of the North Division, is just a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Otherwise, he would not be treated like a dog by Dongchang. He did not waste much effort in getting the transfer order.
On the contrary, it is the "Thirteen Taibao" under the Bei Division. Some of them are more difficult to crack. Although there are orders from the governor, these thousands of households have real power in their hands, and they each have some strength and background. Wither orders Even if the order is given, they can still obey and disobey it, and send two people to deal with it perfunctorily.
Therefore, after Tan Luzi received the transfer order, he went to the extra effort to summon these thousands of households in person.
The governor said that Lu Wenzhao had secretly defected to King Xin and was planning a rebellion. He thought that Lu Wenzhao would be stronger, but the result at this moment surprised him.
But no matter what, he couldn't fault Lu Wenzhao's attitude now. He glanced at Lu Wenzhao again and said: "Three days later, before Chen time, take the people to the West Factory to gather."
"Remember, you and your subordinates Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian, and Jin Yichuan must come!"
After speaking, Tan Luzi said no more, turned around, waved his hand, and led the people away.
Lu Wenzhao looked at his back and his heart sank again.
Xichang knew so much about his situation that he personally named Lu Jianxing and the three of them, leaving no escape route for him!
If it were normal times, it would be okay for him to take everyone out, but at this critical moment, the emperor is going out of the palace for a tour...
Thinking of the plan arranged by His Highness King Xin, Lu Wenzhao frowned tightly.
At this moment, King Xin has very few available people under his command. He took them all away, fearing that His Highness's plan would be missed...
After pondering for a long time, Lu Wenzhao turned around and looked in a certain direction of the capital, sighing in his heart.
It seems that some trump cards will be exposed in advance...
…
at the same time.
In a courtyard in the northwest area of the capital, a dense crowd of masters from the West Factory surrounded this small and quiet courtyard.
This small courtyard has no name, but its owner is the Sixth Taibao of Beizhen Fusi, Jing Tianluo!
Jing Tianluo was able to rank among the Six Taibao of the Bei Division, so he certainly had his own merits. His pistol skills were outstanding, and his martial arts realm had reached an innate level.
Moreover, he was trained by Sikong Changfeng, the famous Third City Lord of "Xueyue City", Gun Immortal, but later he left Xueyue City for unknown reasons and went to Beijing to join the Jinyiwei. After ten years, he became a Qianhu.
With this kind of relationship, even the imperial court would give him some slack, so this person was somewhat famous in the Bei Division.
But at this time, Ma Jinliang, a big stallion figure wearing a blue python robe and a bronze beast-covered face, did not give him any face at all. He unsheathed his swords behind him and stood in front of a group of masters from the West Factory, looking coldly at the center of the yard. Jing Tianluo:
"I only want to ask you once, will you accept this transfer order or not?"
Jing Tianluo holds a black spear in his hand. He is handsome, about thirty years old, and looks quite extraordinary.
Hearing this, he clenched the spear in his hand and said coldly: "Jinyiwei and Xichang both belong to the law enforcement agency of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how powerful Xichang is, they can't control Jinyiwei. If you want me to accept this transfer order, let the governor come in person." Talk to me!"
Ma Jinliang's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "I'll give you face!"
"What about the disciples of the 'Gun Immortal'? Kill them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Jinliang dodged and rushed directly towards Jing Tianluo.
At the same time, a group of masters from the West Factory behind him also took action at the same time, all of them with surging energy and murderous intent.
If these people were placed in the world, they would be able to make a name for themselves no matter where they are, but at the moment they are the most despised "court hawks" in the world.
In their hearts, there is no so-called "morality" at all. As long as they can kill the target and complete the task, they can use any means, let alone just besieging an innate master.
Although Jing Tianluo's spear skills were extraordinary, he could no longer hold on under the siege of so many masters.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Jing Tianming was stabbed by Ma Jinliang's swords. He completely lost his fighting power and fell to the ground.
Everyone in the West Factory immediately swarmed him and hacked him to death.
The dignified 'Gun Immortal' disciple died tragically and alone in this small courtyard, leaving not even a whole body behind.
Ma Jinliang retracted his swords, glanced at the pile of rotten meat on the ground, his eyes did not change at all, waved his hand, turned and walked outside.
"Next!"
…
The moon is at the middle of the sky, east of the capital, Jiang Mansion.
A group of West Factory masters broke into the mansion directly. Ding Xiu was carrying a large Royal Forest Saber and looked lazily at a man holding a knife in front of him, turning a blind eye to the group of masters reared by Jiang Mansion behind him.
"Jiang Yifan, the governor has ordered you to go to our West Factory in three days and accompany you on a mission. Will you accept this transfer order from the Northern Division?"
Ding Xiu asked lazily.
The man holding the knife is Jiang Yifan, the eleventh Taibao of the Bei Division.
Looking at the seemingly non-threatening Ding Xiu in front of him, Jiang Yifan felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He subconsciously tightened the knife in his hand and said in a deep voice: "I am a Jinyi guard. I only follow the orders of the superior officer and don't want to interfere with your things." Factory fight.”
Ding Xiu raised the transfer order in his hand and said: "This is the transfer order from Wang Yi, your governor of the Northern Division. If you don't believe it, you can ask it yourself tomorrow."
"I……"
Jiang Yifan frowned. He naturally knew what kind of virtue Beisi Zhenfu was.
He was not surprised that Xichang was able to get the transfer order from the North Division.
But at this time, if he accepts this transfer order, he will be marked with the mark of the West Factory.
Now the East and West Second Factory is seizing power. Although the East Factory has just experienced turmoil, no one knows the strength and methods of the new governor of the East Factory.
He is taking sides at the moment. Once he Ridong Factory stabilizes the situation and rises again, the Jiang family will inevitably be liquidated by Dong Factory.
Behind Wang Yi, the governor of the capital, were the Wang family in the capital, and many members of the Wang family were officials in the court, so Wang Yi was not afraid of Dongchang's retaliation, and could be a wallflower, relying on whichever side the wind was strong.
But he can't.
With just the little backing of the Jiang family, he couldn't withstand the liquidation of Dongchang.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yifan gritted his teeth and said, "I am the head of the Jiang family. I am responsible for hundreds of people in the Jiang family. Please don't embarrass Jiang!"
Hearing this, Ding Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he completely lost his patience to continue waiting.
If you don’t surrender, there is only death!
Qiang——
The Great Royal Forest Saber instantly unsheathed and slashed towards Jiang Yifan.
"you……"
Jiang Yifan's face changed slightly, but his reaction was not slow. He immediately pulled out the Xiuchun knife in his hand and blocked it with his backhand.
However, as soon as he came into contact with the large royal sword that was much longer than ordinary swords, he regretted it.
A huge force came from the blade, and Jiang Yifan's whole body was shaken, as if he had been hit by thunder, his throat was sweet, and he was directly chopped away by the knife.
The next moment, before he could recover, a sharp blade appeared in front of him again, falling head-on with cold murderous intent.
Cha——
"Sir, wait a minute! Spare your life, spare your life..."
A heartbreaking cry came from the house.
The blade accurately stopped three inches above Jiang Yifan's head. The sharp blade energy had even scratched his scalp, leaving a faint bloodstain. If it had been closer than two inches at most, he would have been chopped into pieces by the blade energy.
Ding Xiu glanced at him and said calmly: "Have you thought clearly?"
"Think it through, think it through!"
Jiang Yifan nodded hurriedly, his eyes full of fear.
He never expected that this kid would be so ruthless, and he would do it as soon as he was told. Moreover, he had practiced swordsmanship for more than forty years, but he couldn't sustain even two moves in this kid's hands.
At this time, how could he consider the liquidation of Dongchang?
He is the head of the Jiang family. If he dies, all the relationships he has managed in the officialdom over the years will be wiped out. At that time, even if the Jiang family is not wiped out by the West Factory, it will be eaten up by other families. .
He has no choice at all!
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Master Qianhu, you made a right choice."
Ding Xiu nodded with satisfaction, patted Jiang Yifan's cheek with the blade, then withdrew the sword and waved his hand: "Retreat."
Being so humiliated by Ding Xiu, Jiang Yifan didn't even dare to say a word of cruelty. Looking at the arrogant and domineering back, his face turned blue and white.
In the end, all the emotions in his heart turned into a long sigh.
"Xichang Yuhuatian, such a heroic figure..."
…
In the next three days, undercurrents continued throughout the capital.
Almost all the experts from the West Factory were dispatched, and the forces left in the capital by the Jinyiwei Bei Division were all visited by people from the West Factory.
Either coercion or inducement, if you don't accept it, it will disappear directly.
Either surrender or die.
There is no third option!
Of course, even though the West Factory only operated at night, the noise they made was not small, and it still attracted some people's attention.
Many people were frightened by Xichang's thunderous methods and were too scared to go out, but some people couldn't stand Xichang's arrogance and domineering behavior.
But with such a loud movement, it was impossible for the person in the palace not to hear the slightest bit of noise, but that person never made any reaction.
This inevitably made many people secretly speculate whether the person in the palace had tacitly approved of this matter?
Otherwise, how dare Xichang act in such a high-profile manner?
Thinking of this, those who wanted to enter the palace to participate in Yuhua Tianben and take the opportunity to suppress Xichang also fell silent.
There had just been a riot in Dongchang, hundreds of people died, and people were panicking. Cao Zhengchun was having a headache because of these things, and he had no time to pay attention to these trivial matters.
And Xichang moved too fast.
By the time he reacted, it was already too late...
------
Two chapters in one, five thousand words.
The new book issue should not be updated too quickly. Otherwise, the book may not be released after a round of recommendations. Then the first order result will be too poor, which will really affect your mentality.
So I hope that everyone will wait patiently. Try not to read the new book issue, and read every chapter. The update will definitely be accelerated when it is put on the shelves. Thank you bosses!
