Chapter 9 The bell rings throughout the capital

Dawu Empire,

The palace,

At this time, the sound of tea bowls breaking came from Changle Palace.

"The waste, all waste, King Zhongshun deserves to die!"

The Supreme Emperor Zhou Shengzhuo roared in anger from the palace.

"Are there all the generals of the four tyrants and eighth dukes, are they all eating a good meal? The bullshit generals are not as good as pigs!"

"The Supreme Emperor calms down. Now that things have happened, don't be angry."

Xia Shouzhong was so scared that his face was gone. He hadn't seen the emperor as angry as the one who had been so angry for a long time.

"What does the emperor say?"

The Supreme Emperor asked directly,

"When the Emperor comes back to the Emperor, the Emperor is furious when he learns this, he is already gone. The people from the Imperial Hospital have already gone."

Xia Shouzhong replied immediately.

"What, the emperor is fine? I just said that Shi'an must not lead the army, but he just won't listen!"

"Back, the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor is just anxious and irritated. It's okay. Now he has finished the medicine."

"It's good if it's okay, it's good if it's okay. It seems that the people of the Four Tyrants and Bagongs are not that reliable!"

Xia Shouzhong heard this,

He even lowered his head, which was unacceptable.

Northeast of the Empire,

Southeast of Luoyun Plain

King Zhou Shi'an of Zhongshun led some of the defeated generals of less than 1,000 men and fled here.

I have been sleeping in the open for three days, and I have never suffered such a sin.

“Where are you now?”

Zhou Shian asked with a tired look on his face.

"Go back to the prince, I'm almost here to Pingyao City, but I can't go. The general and the prefect of Pingyao would have run away long ago, and there are Jurchen cavalry behind us to pursue him. If Pingyao City has fallen long ago, it would be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

”

The one who spoke was Liu Fang, the grandson of Liu Biao, the Duke of Li Guo.

"Yes, Prince, be careful, there is no big mistake."

Chen Ruiwen, the grandson of Duke Chen Yi of Qi, echoed.

"What should I do?"

Zhou Shian asked at a loss,

"It's safest to go straight south and Luoyue Pass."

Niu Jizong, the grandson of the Jinguo Bu Qing, has always been determined.

"It's good to do it like this. In order to avoid the long nights and dreams, let's leave now."

Zhou Shi'an led these generals from the Duke's Mansion to continue traveling south.

Daming Palace,

After taking the medicine, Zhou Shihong returned to the Warm Pavilion of the Heart Palace, and was not in the mood to see Concubine Wu's weak face.

"Dai Quan, go and ring the Jinyang Bell!"

Emperor Wu thought for a long time before saying this.

“This, this,”

Dai Quan thought he had heard it wrong.

This Jinyang Bell was only knocked by Dawu at a critical moment. It must be done with a big deal.

If it sounds now, it will undoubtedly cause a stir in the capital. This?

"I have considered it. This time may not be a chance. How can I know if they are loyal or traitorous if they are not knocked? Besides, whether they are lost in the Northeast or not, I have to take a gamble. Go!"

Dai Quan knew that the emperor was determined to seize power, and even took out the Northeast and released it, but is this really good!

Are you too impatient? But seeing that Emperor Wu is so frustrated in recent years, hey, that’s all!

"I obey the order. Now I will arrange for someone to knock. The emperor is ready to go and I will go to court soon!"

"Yes, I'll be in court soon!"

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

Dawu Empire,

On the eve of the quiet dawn,

After many years, the Jinyang Bell rang again.

The entire capital was awakened.

All officials and nobles immediately got up and dressed, ready to go to court.

"Hurry, hurry up, something big happened!"

The family of the Minister of Revenue was in chaos.

"I'm still standing still? Why don't you get up and put on my armor for me, waiting to be cleaned up?"

In the Shenwu General's Mansion, Feng Tang yelled loudly.

The governor of the Beijing Camp, Wang Ziteng, happened to be inspecting the military camp these days. When he heard the bell, he immediately blew the horns together. He put on his official uniform and immediately rode into the city and ran towards the palace.

Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen was drunk and dreaming every day. He didn't care about the affairs of the government, so he stayed at home and hanged with his concubine. After getting tired of it, he sent the housekeeper to buy some priests to continue his fun. But he had to go to Jia every month. Jia Zhen was still very nervous when respecting the filial piety and a lot of money. He was afraid of being embarrassed in front of his colleagues, so he was not going out to drink flowers and wine. He even left a lot of good impressions in the court.

Tianxiang Tower,

Jia Zhen was sleeping soundly with her two concubines in her arms. When she heard the bell, she almost rolled off the bed. She hadn't heard the bell for many years. At first, she heard that her soul was gone. By the way, my official uniform was not in the room. Put it on,

"Madam, Madam, where is my official uniform?"

"I still know to call me? Here!"

Outside the door, Youshi took Yindie's official uniform in,

"Here help me change my clothes, something should be happening in the palace today."

"Hmph, then you shouldn't hurry up."

Rongguo Mansion,

Jia She and Jia Zheng drank some wine together last night, and are now drowsy.

Even if the old lady arranged for Yuanyang to ask Master Zheng to go over to discuss Baoyu's birthday banquet, she didn't go. It turned out that the Duke's Mansions of Ningrong and Rong had a large number of villages in the northeast, and each family had at least twenty large villages, but in recent years, When the woman in Northeast really invaded, Zhuangzi could not save her.

All of them have been sold at low prices in recent years and have been transferred to the Tianbai Chamber of Commerce. Only a few farms near Luoyue Pass are left. The output is also declining year by year. The situation has been particularly tense recently. The two brothers also discuss to see the Northeast. Can it be stabilized? If you can't, you'll take off the Zhuangzi early, so as not to give it away for nothing later. The next year, I'll have to drink too much homely and sleep with my clothes after drinking.

But they knew that the Jin Yang bell rang and woke them up. They knew that the matter was serious, so they changed into official uniforms and prepared to go out.

But before taking it away, he turned to Jia Mu's house and the old lady got up and told her,

"If there is really something wrong in the palace, you two see what the Emperor means? If you don't see what the nobles say, follow them!"

"My son knows!"

The two responded, got into the sedan chair and walked straight towards the palace.

Gradually, the Ganqing Hall of the Imperial Palace was filled with officials and nobles from the capital, and they all gathered together to discuss.

"Old Zhao, have you heard any wind?"

"No, where are you?"

"I didn't hear it either. What did you think it could be?"

"What's the turn to ring the Golden Yang Bell!"

"That's it, that's it!"
