Before things calmed down, the entire high ranking dignitaries in the capital stayed behind closed doors and were unusually honest.
On the contrary, the commoners were not affected, after all, the residence of the clansmen and dignitaries was far away from the common people, and Gu Yuanbai intended not to disturb them too much, so this action, at most, only scared the clansmen and dignitaries on those streets and the ministers who were close to the clansmen and dignitaries.
Anyone smart enough to know this is a knockout and a demonstration.
The Emperor had long known what was going on, and he used this to hammer away, taking the forbidden army and slipping on it as a way of telling others, "I have the power to decide whether you live or die, don't try to provoke me, the only thing you should do is to obediently attach yourselves to me."
This holy emperor and the former emperor is completely different, he said, he did, he also made a big fuss. Looking in the eyes of the clansmen naturally a chill rose, but looking in the eyes of the fanboys, what the saint did was just too handsome!
Gu Yuanbai, who had just finished listening to General Cheng's report in the palace, heard in less than a moment that Chang Yuyan and the son of the Minister of the Household, Tang Mian, had composed poems for him, and let the people present the poems to have a look at them, and he could not help but lose his smile.
Chang Yuyan and Tang Mian are both smart people, both poetry and song and writing different points, each has its own advantages. Now these two poems, one is to publicize the emperor's imperial authority, the other is to publicize the emperor's love for the people, both poems and fugues are good works, readable and catchy. At this point in time to use this way to whitewash for him and stabilize the hearts of his subjects, these two people have already spontaneously developed towards the aspect of public opinion talent.
The circle of literati is like this, one leads to another, Chang Yuyan and Tang Mian lead, above since this, the following people naturally follow. Personally took the forbidden army opened the clan blood one thing, seems to be all common forgotten.
Gu Yuanbai thought about it, smiled, put the poem aside, and asked Tian Fusheng, "You're not going to lie down and rest?"
"I would like to rest for two days," Tian Fusheng looked worried, "but Your Holiness, I was away for half a day, so many things happened in connection, this day passed by is really long, so long that the old waist of the little one doesn't hurt."
When Gu Yuanbai thought about it, it wasn't that it had only been half a day.
But this efficiency Gu Yuanbai is very satisfied, half a day's time should be resolved are resolved, all possible changes have been pinched off the seedling.
"Didn't Mrs. Wan say that she misses me and wants to see me?" Gu Yuanbai smiled, "In a few days when there is no morning court, let the people from the Qin Tian Supervisor see how the weather is, I remember that there is also a royal temple outside of the capital that was sealed by the late emperor, so it's just that I can take the dowager consort to go there to take a break from her mind."
Tian Fusheng respectfully answered yes, and Gu Yuanbai glanced at him and said, "You don't need to go, so you'll rest in the palace then."
"......" Tian Fusheng namely for the saint's sympathy and tears in his eyes, but also inwardly worried for fear that he was not there and what happened, a moment tangled up in words.
Xue Yuan, who had long since finished cleaning himself up on the side, opened his mouth at just the right time, "I accompanied His Holiness at that time as well."
He smiled demurely, "Your Excellency don't worry about it, I'm strong, hot anywhere, and useful."
Tian Fusheng politely said, "With Lord Xue and Lord Zhang together, what is there for me to be uneasy about?"
Xue Yuan's whole body was excited.
He smiled slightly towards Tian Fusheng, and the excitement hidden deep within his eyes made the smile show a few unusual meanings as well.
In fact, Xue Yuan was on the verge of going crazy with excitement by the Emperor.
Xue Yuan was bloodthirsty, and at the age of eleven or twelve, he dared to kill deserters who ran away from the battlefield. He enjoyed the battlefield, enjoyed killing, and enjoyed the submission of others.
The most honorable person in the world is undoubtedly the saint in front of him, but this saint who is sickly and weak in his eyes, his methods are as rumbling as thunder. Rampant enough, loud enough, Xue Yuan's breathing steeply heaved when he saw the group of black-armored forbidden soldiers running out of the imperial city in formation after coming out of the bath.
The most honorable man in the world has the ruthlessness of the Lord of the world.
Between the conquest of a greater figure, and the conquest of the Emperor, in this instant, this latter one was even more refreshing to Xue Yuan.
From the beginning until now, apart from the illness, Xue Yuan had never seen any other look on the young emperor's face. Gu Yuanbai seemed to be calm and collected at all times, ruthless when he needed to be, and cold when he needed to be. Obviously, he had a sickly body, but he never showed any signs of vulnerability.
What would he look like vulnerable?
Xue Yuan doesn't know.
But Xue Yuan did not gain nothing after today's trial, he at least knew that the little emperor did not like to be touched by others. The more intimate the touch, the more the little emperor loathed it.
This one could be a discovery worth a thousand words.
Gu Yuanbai suddenly looked up at the color of the sky, "Isn't it time to disperse the value?"
Squire Zhang Xu said, "Your Holiness, it is indeed time for the duty to be dispersed."
The only thing that needs loose value here is Xue Yuan.
Xue Yuan stepped forward and bowed respectfully towards Gu Yuanbai, "Then the minister will retire."
After Xue Yuan left, Gu Yuanbai glanced at his back, and Tian Fusheng followed suit, exclaiming, "I still remember the first time I saw Mr. Xue, he was so drunk that he smelled like alcohol. This is not a great talent even if he doesn't drink anymore. Handsome and brave, it is said that General Xue's father is not a son of a tiger, I heard that Mr. Xue is not afraid to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and he is very good at leading troops and generals."
Gu Yuanbai said, "He's got military service, it's General Xue who's pressing for military service, wanting him to be calm and collected again."
"Yes," Tian Fusheng said smilingly, "It's also an honor for Duke Xue to be an imperial guard by the side of the Holy Emperor now. In time, he will surely be another capable general of Daheng."
Gu Yuanbai thought to himself that he had indeed become an able general, able to the point of intimidating the throne.
Today's Xue Yuan looked very obedient, but the details are everywhere is slippery rebellious, if not for the fact that he is the future protagonist, look at him in the future can be used in the country on the part of the Gu Yuanbai has long let him know what is called the imperial power of the world.
But a mad dog is a mad dog, so tame it up to be interesting, if it is like a scare on the obedient obedience, in turn, will let Gu Yuanbai look down on him.
After the evening meal, Gu Yuanbai reacquainted the two generals overseeing the palace's forbidden army at the Xuanzheng Hall's side hall.
General Cheng said, "Your Holiness, among Lu Feng's men captured in the Qi King's mansion, there are a few who have requested to take the secret in exchange for their lives."
Gu Yuanbai smiled and said, "No exchange. What I want is their lives."
No one under the sky could have more information in their hands than Gu Yuanbai, these people were thrown in the middle of the capital and could only even resort to this to stay alive, Gu Yuanbai didn't believe that they could have any meaningful information in their hands. Compared to this, what he needed was their heads, to display their heads in the mansions of those who might be ambushed by various ministers and clansmen, as a way to scare and deter those who hadn't yet been discovered by Lu Feng.
After this battle, Gu Yuanbai believed that the various clan royal families and ministers would cooperate with him.
When the hidden tumors got scared and revealed their cloven foot, then after that, Gu Yuanbai would personally send these people who were abandoned in the capital to Jinghu South, to Jiangnan, to send them to join up with the remnants of Lu Feng.
It's a dog-eat-dog show at that point.
Therefore, how to see, are these a few heads of the greatest role, these heads deterred after the provinces, can also be Gu Yuanbai as a gift to Lu Feng remnants of the Ministry.
Having endured such a merciful gift from the present saint, I hope that they will earn some breath and feel scared and fearful sooner rather than later. Then go against the magnates of these two regions, and go and rob the magnates of their wealth, their farmers, and their good land.
Go step on them and then wait to be stepped on by Gu Yuanbai.

His Majesty got wind-cold, and coughed up blood on top of it. The whole hospital in the imperial doctors are busy, many times the pulse, and finally came to the conclusion that the saint spit out this mouthful of blood is the heart, if you want to get well, should not think too much.
He followed the advice of his physicians and set aside a daily working hour for himself. All work was done to the best of his ability within the working hours, and the rest was spent strolling through the Imperial Gardens, reading books, and incidentally jotting down certain bits of modern knowledge he had memorized, lest he forget them when he needed them later.
After a few days of this, the wind chill gradually got better. Taking advantage of the Qin Tian Supervisor's forgetting of the weather, Gu Yuanbai put the matter of accompanying Mrs. Wan to the Royal Temple on his agenda.
Early the next morning, the carriage pulled out of the palace.
Xue Yuan then drove his horse and followed beside the window. He was full of energy and handsome, and when he saw Gu Yuanbai open the window, he slowly smiled and said, "Does Your Majesty feel cold?"
April morning has not cold, Gu Yuanbai faded off the heavy clothing, a green dress head wearing a jade crown, gently smile, there will be a sense of Lynn as jade.
A white butterfly flew past the carriage, the saint's eyes unconsciously went with the butterfly, suddenly a big hand reached out and quickly and accurately held the butterfly in his hand.
Xue Yuan smiled and placed his clenched fist in front of Gu Yuanbai's eyes, "Is Your Holiness interested in this item?"
Gu Yuanbai had some interest in his eyes, "So what if it is?"
Is Xue Yuan preparing to offer this butterfly to him?
Xue Yuan smiled faintly and slowly unfolded his palm, there was a blood drenched butterfly in the middle of his palm, yellow blood stained the white butterfly wings, the butterfly that had just been fluttering around had been pinched to death by Xue Yuan.
"Surprisingly dead," Xue Yuan's expression was pitying as he begged for forgiveness, "It's all because I used too much force, please atone for your sins, Your Majesty."
Gu Yuanbai said indifferently, "Throw it away."
Xue Yuan threw the butterfly on the ground, and took out a towel and handkerchief to wipe his hands, and as soon as the blood was wiped off, he sent a clean palm to the saint's face and laughed, "How does the saint look now?"
Gu Yuanbai lightly raised his eyes, "Not how."
"I do think it's clean," Xue Yuan withdrew his hand, "The blood will be clean as soon as it's wiped, simple as that. Afterward, besides Your Majesty, who would know that I accidentally pinched a butterfly to death?"
"I'm not interested in butterflies," Gu Yuanbai raised his eyebrows, feeling that it was quite interesting to chat with Xue Yuan, "I'm interested in the horse underneath you instead."
The corner of Xue Yuan's mouth grinned, "I've also hugged His Holiness, and I'm very stable. Compared to a horse, isn't it true that I am better?"
Gu Yuanbai, "It's always more psychic than an animal."
The corners of Xue Yuan's mouth stiffened, and his entire face appeared grim and sharp when he pressed his brows down, but soon he smiled again and said, "If Your Majesty is interested in the horse underneath the minister, why don't you get off and ride the minister's horse?"
Gu Yuanbai lost interest, said "no" and closed the window.
Xue Yuan glanced at the carriage with his remaining light and smiled sorrowfully.
He hadn't had the idea of inviting Gu Yuanbai to ride a horse either, but now that the little emperor had refused, Xue Yuan felt compelled to let him get off the carriage and ride.
Gu Yuanbai was flipping through a book when the little eunuch beside him asked, "Which kind of tea does His Holiness want to drink today?"
"A pot of Shuangjing Green," Gu Yuanbai said, "brew it lighter."
The little eunuch carefully took out the tea leaves, "Yes."
Shuangjing Green is the tea that His Holiness loves to drink recently, the tea buds and leaves are fat and thick, and the rows are like phoenix claws. Bubble in the water when the color is clear and bright, taste mellow, lips and teeth aroma for a long time and not disperse. Small eunuch carefully is brewing tea, beside the saint just turned over a page of the book, the carriage on a sudden instability, the whole carriage shook up.
Gu Yuanbai held onto the wall of the car and snapped, "What's going on!"
The tea inside the carriage spilled all over the place, wetting the layers of soft blankets, making it impossible to sit down and stand up straight, making it impossible to ride in the entire carriage!
Outside a burst of noise, Gu Yuanbai lifted his robe and went out of the carriage, his brows sank to look down, it turned out to be a front-guiding horse legs into a deep sharp stone, the whole horse is kneeling down on the ground wailing.
Gu Yuanbai's eyelids jumped and he turned his head to look around.
There were indeed quite a few fine stones on the roadside, and a few of them were also sharp with pointed tips. But it happened to be so coincidental, so coincidental that that stone on the horse's leg could be stuck in at a tricky angle, so coincidental that the whole carriage was spilled with tea.
Gu Yuanbai smiled coldly, "Zhang Xu."
The chief of the guards came over with large strides and said, "Your Holiness, the injured horses will be sent to be transported. The carriage is now unable to seat anyone, so Your Holiness might as well ride the minister's horse, and I will lead you in the front."
"No need," Gu Yuanbai said, "it's too slow, Mrs. Wan is still waiting for me."
Xue Yuan was leading his horse at this time, he touched his mount's mane and leisurely said, "Your Majesty, why don't you try my horse?"
The head guard frowned and was about to retort, when he heard Xue Yuan slowly say, "The owner of a horse is slightly more psychic than an animal, so I'm sure that a horse is also a bit smarter than some people."
"I will hold His Majesty fast," Xue Yuan pulled back a smile, sarcastically, "and my horse will hold His Majesty fast."
Gu Yuanbai locked eyes with him, narrowed his eyes and said, "Xue Yuan will ride with me on the same horse, Zhang Xu, you take my eunuch with you."
Xue Yuan respectfully sidled up and said, "Your Holiness, please."
Gu Yuanbai gave him a meaningful look, stepped on the stirrups and rolled onto the horse. Although his body was not good, it did not mean that he could not dip into riding and shooting, although his durability was poor, his basic disk was not a disgrace!
This mounting of the horse was so smooth that Xue Yuan held the reins and was about to roll over onto the horse, who knew that Gu Yuanbai suddenly clamped his legs together and raised his horse whip, "Hyah!"
The horse ran steeply, and Xue Yuan was dragged hard on the ground for more than ten meters before relying on the strength of his arms to roll hard onto the back of the horse and sit behind the little emperor.
He was covered in dust, his hands were even strangled with blood marks, half of his body was in fiery pain, and his entire body was in a sorry state. Xue Yuan's eyes were glowing with fury, and with the taste of blood in his mouth, he asked, "Your Holiness, what are you running for?"
"Xue Yuan," Gu Yuanbai whispered, "I look like a good liar?"
Xue Yuan reached out and passed his hand through the side of the little emperor's waist and strangled the reins in his hand, his hand became full of blood marks and abrasions from being dragged and entangled in the reins, yet it was still very strong and did not tremble a bit.
"Old me destroys one of your horses," Xue Yuan said with a bloody breath in Gu Yuanbai's ear, "and you let old me die?"
"Your Holiness, how can you be so cruel?"
