Traveling Through the Myths

Chapter 158 Arriving in the Eastern Capital
"This king knows that you are probably the children of Guanzhong. You have been missing your relatives for many days in the south of the Yangtze River, and the imperial court is in arrears with your military salary. Today, this king has to solve these two things."

"The first thing is, all the military salaries owed by all the troops will be paid off together today."

"The second thing is to select elite troops, and those who are selected can return to Guanzhong with this king."

"The third thing is that this king wants to establish the Habayashi Guard. The number is , and the monthly salary of those who are outstanding in martial arts will be tripled after being selected."

Following Yi Qingchen's words, a team of imperial guards pushed down the boxes placed on the high platform.

The shining white and bright silver rolled out of the box and piled up into hills.

Anyway, the money is not his own, so Yi Qingchen doesn't feel bad when spending it.

He wanted to take these people back to Guanzhong, and occupy Guanzhong before Li Yuan rebelled.

If everything goes well, it can even deter Li Yuan from rebelling against him.

In this way, a small half of the world will fall into the pocket, and when Guanzhong and Shanxi are stable, then the army will go out to calm the world calmly.

Otherwise, if Li Yuan occupies Guanzhong, the world will fall apart as soon as Yang Guang dies, and it will be very troublesome for Yi Qingchen to quickly pull out an army of 10 people and obtain a large amount of wealth.

Yi Qingchen thinks that it is worth doing to save the common people from fighting for a few years in a simple way.

Yi Qingchen's voice shook like thunder, making the soldiers think they were gods, and they couldn't help being excited when they heard the words that followed.

Everyone's breath became short of breath when they saw the white silver.

Everything is good, everything is good, only the money in hand is the best.

"King Ming is a thousand years old!"

"King Ming is a thousand years old!"

……

Under the leadership of Tuo, who had been buried long ago, there was a neat cheer in the army.

Yi Qingchen smiled slightly, watched the military academy and selected elite soldiers.

He also received Habayashi Wei and the school officers in the army one by one, handed out money in person, and encouraged the soldiers to work hard.

By the way, plant life and death talismans for the senior generals in the army, and firmly control the core strength of the army.

Two days later, the new army has taken shape. Yi Qingchen added new content on the basis of the current military regulations, strict laws, and increased the general responsibility system. labor supervision.

Arrest generals who have committed serious crimes such as embezzlement of military pay and killing meritorious service in the middle, clean up invalid manpower and kill chickens and monkeys at the same time.

The lax military discipline and the laziness of non-commissioned officers were wiped out. All armies restrained their subordinates and did not dare to indulge in the slightest.

With enough money to pave the way, the remaining soldiers not only did not escape, but obeyed orders even more.

Now that the military power is solid, Yi Qingchen turned his hand to clean up all the officials.

He relied on the army to investigate the past of the ministers in Jiangdu, punished treacherous ministers and ministers who cheated on others, violated laws and disciplines, and posted notices declaring their crimes.

Then the confiscated land and food were distributed to the poor people, and the taxes of the people were lowered.

For three days in a row in Jiangdu city, the people in the city applauded.

During this period, some rebels were suppressed by the army.

Yi Qingchen ordered the maids and eunuchs in the palace to be released, and all the property in the Jiangdu palace was sold, and the concubines and maids who had no home to rely on were given to the generals in the army to raise a large amount of money.

Relying on ransacking, selling off and other means to quickly save enough military expenses for several years.

After such a lot of tossing, Yang Guang only left Empress Xiao, Zhu Gui'er and a eunuch who was in charge, and the court only left a simplified structure.

Yi Qingchen left Yu Wenhua and led an army of to guard Jiangdu, and took Yang Guang and an army of to go north by boat.

Of course, Yu Wenhuaji's son and clan members were all among those who went north this time.

Even if he planted the life and death talisman, Yi Qingchen still couldn't be completely at ease, and wanted to keep the proton by his side.

If Yu Wenhuaji dares to have a different heart, he will be buried with the whole clan of Yuwen Clan.

Yang Guang built canals such as Yongji Canal and Tongji Canal to connect the north and the south, and there are canals connecting Jiangdu to Luoyang.

As for the boats, he came to Jiangdu from Luoyang, the eastern capital, on a dragon boat, so it was natural that he was on a dragon boat when he turned back to Luoyang.

10,000+ sergeants took the boat, and the boat can be said to block out the sun.

Although they passed the rebel territory along the way, none of them dared to stop them, let alone any thieves dared to attack.

Yi Qingchen originally wanted to exercise his muscles and bones, but was disappointed in the end.

The fleet arrived outside Luoyang smoothly, and Yi Qingchen dispatched Yue King Yang Tong to lead his troops to pay homage.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, the imperial palace.

The king of Yue, Yang Tong, watched the chattering discussions of his subordinates blankly.

The opinions of the ministers tended to be conservative: "His Royal Highness, since His Majesty has an edict, we should follow it. Please leave immediately to meet His Majesty."

Yang Tong frowned slightly, feeling a little angry in his heart.

Even though he was still young, he knew what had happened in Jiangdu.

After all, Datang is a world of martial arts, and the speed of those first-class masters far exceeds that of Dragon Boat, and someone has already sent the news back to Luoyang.

Your Majesty probably fell into the hands of some kind of King Ming, so going to see His Majesty now is not a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?
"I advise Your Highness that all those who obey the imperial edict should be beheaded!"

Dugu Peak came out more and more, and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, you must not listen to the opinions of such fools. We have already understood the Jiangdu incident. Your Majesty is threatened by villains. It is time for us to contribute to the country. How can we be mediocre?" Mediocre, just obeying the imperial decree to save your life?"

Yang Tong was overjoyed: "Dugu Aiqing, what can you do?"

Dugufeng said: "Ming Ni has an army of accompanying him, and our confrontation is like hitting a stone with an egg, but Ming Ni's subordinates are all loyal ministers and righteous men of our Great Sui Dynasty, as long as Ming Ni is eliminated, they will immediately abandon the dark and turn to the light, in my humble opinion When Ming Ni enters the city and captures and kills him with lightning speed, then the big thing will be settled."

Yi Qingchen was enshrined as Ming King, so Dugu Feng called him Ming Ni.

Yang Tong was a little worried: "Ming Ni's ability to break into Jiangdu's palace shows that his martial arts has reached an astonishing level. Is Dugu Aiqing sure to subdue him? If one is not good, even Dongdu may be in danger of falling. "

"Ming Ni has an army of . If they attack the city, Dongdu will inevitably fall."

Dugu Feng said: "I have already contacted many masters in the Jianghu, and there are no less than ten top experts in the Jianghu alone. As long as Ming Ni is lured into the city, great things will happen."

Yang Tong took a deep breath: "In this case, let Zhunqing play."

On the dragon boat, Yi Qingchen was practicing sword energy.

In the world of Tang Dynasty, he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and his skill increased day by day, and now he can easily release sword energy.

What he practiced was to control the advanced movements such as turning, turning, and twisting with sword energy, and he wanted to cultivate into the means of "controlling the sword".

But this is a brand new kung fu, even with Bai Hong's palm strength to learn from, it will not take a day or two to accomplish.

The hull suddenly shook, and Luoyang arrived.

Yi Qingchen withdrew his sword energy, got up and came to the bow, the eastern capital Luoyang was in front of him.

The high wall of more than ten feet stands majestically, extending to both sides of the land, as if it has spread to the end of the world.

The tall city tower stands tall, with a distance of several feet between the front and back, giving people a feeling of incomparable thickness.

Looking into the city, thousands of buildings rise unexpectedly, thousands of eaves span the sky, and countless buildings extend layer upon layer to the sky.

Luoshui flows out of the city mightily, and there are countless ships docked outside the city.

Yi Qingchen's eyes flickered, as if seeing the infinite worldly energy.

The second largest city in the world is Luoyang, the eastern capital.

A large group of people crowded the pier, waiting to meet Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang.

Liu Xing, Yi Qingchen's confidant, came up behind him, and said respectfully: "Report to King Ming, the Dugu Clan has hooked up with many martial arts masters in Luoyang City, intending to lure King Ming into the city to ambush him, please give instructions to King Ming."

"Dugu Valve still has the guts?"

Yi Qingchen was a little surprised, he dared to resist even knowing that he flattened the Jiangdu Imperial Palace, the Dugu clan is quite courageous.

"Don't pay attention to them, arrange the army to enter the city immediately after disembarking, and kill anyone who dares to stop them on the spot."

Yi Qingchen gave an order and came to Yang Guang's side.

They were not in a hurry to meet the officials of Dongdu, but let the soldiers on the dragon boat disembark first, and lined up on both sides of the official road one by one.

Yue King Yang Tong and Dugu Feng watched anxiously, but they didn't dare to make any changes.

It didn't take long for the soldiers on both sides of the strait to move together, and they drove directly into Luoyang City without any communication with Yue Wang Yang Tong.

Yang Tong and Dugu Feng looked at each other, Dugu Feng said in a low voice: "It seems that Ming Ni wants to seize control of the Eastern Capital, we have to fight to the death."

Yang Tong nodded slightly, but felt uneasy in his heart.

There is no way, the world of the Yang family is in jeopardy, and he has no choice but to survive.

After a long time, the holy order was issued.

Yang Tong led the main officials of Dongdu to board the boat, kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times to Yang Guang, shouting long live.

Yang Guang went through the procedure as usual, and then looked at Yi Qingchen.

He no longer dared to decide anything.

Yi Qingchen said: "Is that Lord Dugu Peak Dugu?"

Dugufeng was startled, and thought to himself, could it be that Ming Ni already knew about our plot, otherwise why did he look for me as soon as we came up?
But this kind of occasion allowed him to think about it, so he could only bite the bullet and walk out.

"Little minister Dugufeng has met His Royal Highness King Ming."

Dugufeng is very respectful, there is nothing to criticize.

Yi Qingchen came in front of him, and suddenly thunder clapped out his palm.

Dugufeng had been on guard for a long time, and with a slight force on his feet, the man had already floated backwards.

boom.

Dugufeng hit the ground hard, making a loud bang.

His martial arts are not as good as Yu Wenhua's, Yi Qingchen intends to make a surprise attack, there is something he can dodge.

Yi Qingchen glanced at all the ministers with sharp eyes: "Who else is involved in the Dugu Clan's rebellion, whoever takes the initiative to stand up will be spared death!"

The whole place was silent.

stomping on...

Habayashi used from both sides, and quickly completed the encirclement, pointing the shining sharp blade at the back of everyone.

Liu Xing, Lin Zhengdao, Wei Botong, Pei Qiantong, Yuwen Shiji, Wang Shichong, Dou Xian and others led troops to guard the four directions, and looked at the officials in the eastern capital coldly.

The first three are Yi Qingchen's newly promoted Habayashi Guard generals, and the last four are the original Sui soldiers' generals.

Two systems, one new and one old, support the new balance.

Yang Tong's face turned pale, and he knelt directly: "Grandfather, it's none of my business, it was planned by Dugu Clan..."

As soon as he knelt down, many people came out to follow him. Everyone said that the Dugu Clan was arrogant and self-respecting.

Yi Qingchen snorted softly, and ordered: "Liu Xing, you lead a thousand forest guards and ten thousand troops into the city first to capture the Dugu Clan's people, and kill anyone who resists."

Liu Xing quickly knelt down and accepted the order.

Everyone was silent, only Dugu Feng said sharply: "You dog thief, how dare you bully my Dugu family like this?"
