Zhou Chao decided to take action. If he didn't do something, Dazhou would probably disappear.
His target is the Ouyang family. In the past, the three pillars of the family were in order to better control the power. In fact, the opposition between the two major families can also achieve results. Without the Ouyang family, other princes would be more honest.
Ouyang Ke already knew Zhou Chao's situation and looked at Li Yi and Yang Ling quietly. Their expressions did not change much. It seemed that it was not planned to deal with him, Ouyang Ke breathed a sigh of relief.
Without the two of them, even if Emperor Zhou wanted to take action against him, he would have to think carefully. If something happened to him, the military forces he controlled would become ownerless. This is another bigger civil unrest.
It was even much more serious than the rebellions in other princes' mansions.
¡°After all, no matter how chaotic other princes¡¯ houses are, they are still small forces, but his Ouyang family has been running it for countless years. This is a huge tree trunk, with countless branches relying on the existence of the Ouyang family.
After calming down, Ouyang Ke said solemnly: "Emperor, I am willing to lead troops to fight and put an end to the rebellion!"
After he finished speaking, the expressions of several people around him were a little strange, and Zhou Chao laughed in anger.
If they want to take the initiative to fight, then according to their current level, they are at least the level of a coach. Could it be that, knowing that he is going to rebel, they still want to hand over the army to him?
Ouyang Ke actually knew that it was unlikely. He just wanted to remind Zhou Chao, lest he ignore it and cry.
Zhou Chao soon figured out what Ouyang Ke meant. At their level, they would not say a word of nonsense, even in seemingly simple words. It is also full of profound meaning.
It was undeniable before that Zhou Chao really wanted to take action to unite the Li family and the Yang family. He killed Ouyang Ke directly in the hall, but now he hesitated again when he mentioned the army.
Is it a good deal or not? This is a difficult choice.
Ouyang Ke thought that Zhou Chao would be persuaded by him and temporarily give up his plan to attack him, but he underestimated Zhou Chao's determination. You must know that now is a time of internal and external troubles. Externally and internally, the Ouyang family is a big disaster. Chao couldn't bear it any longer.
"Aiqing, I received something about you, but I don't know how to deal with it now. How about you help me think about it." Zhou Chao said with a smile.
Li Yi and Yang Ling did not receive a memorial and were not discouraged. They are both smart people and they have heard something from Zhou Chao's tone just now. But they didn't expect Zhou Chao to be so cruel.
They just felt that Zhou Chao had caught some tricks on Ouyang Ke this time and wanted to take back some rights.
The whole Zhou Dynasty can only do so much. If the Ouyang family is small, they will be more.
The two of them are also happy to see the success. What he didn't expect was that as soon as Ouyang Ke finished reading, Zhou Chao made a gesture, and soon the palace door was closed.
Ouyang Ke just looked up and saw the memorial in Phoenix City. He thought for a moment that he had never done anything in Phoenix City, so there was no way he could have any leverage, so his expression became indifferent.
" I just saw the door closed, and I was very confused. I looked at Li Yi. Speaking of it, among the three major families, the Li family is actually the strongest.
Unfortunately, neither of them showed any expression. Ouyang Ke became a little worried again. He suppressed the panic in his heart and continued to read. Soon, Ouyang Ke was sweating like rain.
He never thought that his close relationship with Tongbao City would be known to others, because it has always been a very secretive matter. Tongbao City is in the east-west direction, and to the east is Daxia.
Ore is produced here, and many of the materials needed by Talisman Masters come from here.
Furthermore, Tongbao City is an ancient city, and because of its special geographical environment, it is actually a military city of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Many of the equipment of the Great Zhou Army came from Tongbao City. It was not easy for him to win over the city lord of Tongbao City. Moreover, he secretly sent his daughter to Tongbao City to deepen his relationship with the city lord.
Of course, he is not betrothing his daughter to go out, it is just to express his respect and let his most beloved and most talented little daughter visit Copper Treasure City for him.
What people didn¡¯t expect was that his youngest daughter¡¯s temperament changed drastically after she came back from Tongbao City. If he hadn¡¯t known that this body was definitely his daughter¡¯s, he would have suspected that someone else had faked it.
There is no such thing as the resurrection of the dead in this world, so even though Ouyang Xun'er's temper has changed, Ouyang Ke still loves her very much. During this evacuation, he asked Ouyang Xun'er to go to the north first, where he secretly controlled a legion.
? ??It was still the chess piece he had laid out in his early years, just waiting to take advantage of the situation when the Great Zhou Dynasty was experiencing internal and external troubles.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Chao knew all about the secret deal with Tongbao City. Ouyang Ke knew that he had absolutely no ability to resist in this palace, so he knelt down and cried: " Your Majesty is wronged!"
"You must never admit it. If you admit it, it will be a serious crime of rebellion."
However, Ouyang Ke was already very confused at this time. Even if he could prove that he was wronged, maybe the Li family and the Yang family would not give up this opportunity to suppress him. What Zhou Chao said just now, and what he had previously revealed Out of murderous intent, Ouyang Ke found himself in a deep quagmire.
The content of the letter is not a simple informant letter of illicit communication, but that Ouyang Ke secretly runs Tongbao City and asks Tongbao City to build weapons for his soldiers. Currently, hundreds of thousands of private soldiers have been equipped.
A monk is not very powerful just by relying on his fists. In fact, the more a monk is, the more he needs suitable weapons to show his strength.
If someone is strong, they will naturally find weapons by themselves, or make them themselves. But ordinary monks, such as a large army of monks, are only a little bigger than ordinary people on the wall, and most of them have not broken through to the earth level.
The weapons they need are of course not talismans, but sharp weapons.
The soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty wear steel knives on their waists, which are basically standard weapons. The management of such weapons is very strict, and the empire will never allow anyone to make them privately.
But now the information in Ouyang Ke¡¯s hands is evidence of privately manufactured weapons! How could this not shock him.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? Actually. Even Li Can didn't find out about these things at the beginning. It was entirely because Zhou Chao later knew that something happened in Tongbao City, so he had people investigate. learned information.
At present, Ouyang Ke has no less than 200,000 troops at the monster battlefield in the north!
This power is very dangerous. If you are not careful, the north side will fall apart.
Not only is it connected with the Great Xia Kingdom, it also faces the Monster Forest, which is a barren land where countless monsters live. Most of the advanced energy crystals used by humans come from that place.
Ouyang Ke shouted that he was wronged, and Li Yi and Yang Ling finally understood what Emperor Zhou meant. The two looked at each other and looked at Ouyang Ke with stern eyes. Judging from their appearance, there is no doubt that as long as Zhou Chao gives the order, the two of them will attack Ouyang Ke.
Zhou Chao snorted coldly: "Tell me what to do. You two should also see what he did."
The matter of private soldiers. This is absolutely not allowed. It turns out that the three major families also have their own power and even have a great say in the military.
But the army represented by this right to speak belongs to the Great Zhou Dynasty. In other words, although the Li family. The Yang family has influenced the legions, but one thing they must admit is that their legions all belong to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
They themselves are part of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now Ouyang Ke's behavior has isolated himself, which is equivalent to starting a new one. What is he going to do? It's not a rebellion, but what else?
The year before last, the Great Zhou Dynasty had rectified several families, which were known as rebels.
Now I didn¡¯t expect that even the three major families in the Great Zhou Dynasty would be involved.
After Li Yi and Yang Ling looked at it, they were trembling with anger. Li Yi said angrily: "Ouyang Laoer, you are really seeking death. Does Dazhou owe you? You did such a ridiculous thing."
¡°I didn¡¯t!¡± Ouyang Ke defended.
It¡¯s just that Zhou Chao didn¡¯t believe it, because the person in charge of the investigation was his most trusted royal minister. Zhou Chao said to him behind him: ¡°All the ministers, please come out.¡±
"Tap tap" The sound of two footsteps surprised everyone present.
Turin!
The first royal tribute in the empire! Commanding thousands of worship masters in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the worship service in the Great Zhou Dynasty is very strictly organized. If the Great Zhou Kingdom is compared to a super sect. Then, these worshipers are undoubtedly the core disciples.
And these aristocratic families, armies, and court officials are the various sects, branches, and halls in the sect, and ordinary people are the peripheral disciples of this sect.
Of course, you can¡¯t say that. There is still a difference. The power that exists in the form of a country is much more powerful than a sect.
Without that sect, there would be hundreds of thousands of troops. Without that sect, there would be thousands of core disciples. At least the Great Zhou Dynasty would not exist.
Even the top-ranked Peach Blossom Sect, including the married female disciples, only has three or four thousand people, while the Divine Fist Sect, which is not much different from it, has only more than 10,000 people in total, and its core disciples are only three or four. thousand.
There are rumors outside that Turin was seriously injured and will not die soon. Even DaxiaBecause of this news, he ventured into Dazhou.
But now, Turin is standing in front of everyone alive, and Li Yi and Yang Ling both look happy.
Zhou Chao, on the other hand, had a calm face. This was a very important card in his hand. He played it first and the effect was very good. Just look at Ouyang Ke's pale and bloodless face and you will know the effect.
Ouyang Ke didn't even bother to escape. He just lowered his head in despair. He didn't know what he thought of, but he quickly knelt down and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for your decades of hard work for the Zhou Dynasty." For my sake"
"Shut up! Do you have the nerve to say that you have done your duty? Tell me, what have you done over the years? What have you gained?" Zhou Chao said angrily.
The patriarchs of the other two big families standing on both sides also looked ugly. Zhou Chao was trying to knock them because they had indeed done nothing in recent years. On the contrary, the national power of Zhou Dynasty was gradually weakened.
Of course, this has something to do with Zhou Chao's inaction. If he were an unparalleled hero, I am afraid that Zhou Chao would have annexed Daxia Kingdom long ago.
Although there is a lot involved here, just the several sects of Dazhou are very troublesome, but if you really make up your mind, the whole country will not be unable to deal with these sects. In the end, it is Zhou Chao himself who hopes to be safe. That¡¯s all.
Ouyang Ke was speechless. Over the years, he had divided people and had many armies in his hands. Later, I saw that the emperor had no reaction and became even more aggressive. He even took advantage of the opportunity of the monster battlefield in the north to secretly expand his power. Even the inland Tongbao City was attracted.
"Bring the things up!" Zhou Chao leaned on the back of the chair and said decisively.
Behind the curtain, Zhou Ruoxi saw her father so decisive and cold-hearted for the first time. It was fun. I couldn't help but stick out my little head, wanting to see what my father wanted the police officers to bring out.
A policeman came slowly with a box in his arms, and everyone gave in. The man did not put the box on the case, but held it with his hands.
Several people began to wonder whether there was evidence of Ouyang Ke's crime inside.
"Open it and see for yourself." Zhou Chao's voice floated over. Ouyang Ke shuddered and stood up slowly. Coming to the box, there was some hesitation. But he had no retreat.
The wooden box has a small iron buckle, which is more like a makeup box used by a little girl, but it is much larger than the makeup box.
The wooden box made of black wood had a strange smell, but as soon as Ouyang Ke opened the lid, he screamed, covered his mouth and took several steps back. Almost fell to the ground.
Because the box was not closed and lowered a lot, Zhou Ruoxi behind the curtain also saw it, "Ah!" Zhou Ruoxi shouted and quickly covered her mouth. This is where the father and emperor discuss matters. It would be terrible if the father was blamed.
However, Zhou Chao was not angry and pretended not to hear the voice. He looked at Ouyang Ke and said coldly: "Do you know him?"
"Your Majesty" Ouyang Ke had nothing to say.
Once the human body is released, it is not so easy to control. Ouyang Ke felt very guilty at this time. If he had not expanded endlessly, I am afraid he would not have reached this point now.
"I'll give you a chance to reorganize the Sixth Army. I'll spare your life and you'll pay tribute to me. How about that?" Zhou Chao said.
Turin didn¡¯t say a word just now, watching quietly.
On the other hand, Li Yi and Yang Lingxin were on a roller coaster. They were up and down. The emperor had beaten them enough just now. They had never seen the emperor so strong before. In the past, the emperor usually ignored these matters and left most of them to them. The emperor is obsessed with beauty and is practicing.
Ouyang Ke nodded, feeling energetic again. He really didn¡¯t expect that the emperor would still let him live.
Turin looked at Zhou Chao and was relatively satisfied. In fact, Ouyang Ke's life was saved because he just said in a message that if Zhou Chao's temperament was followed, Ouyang Ke would definitely be dead today. Now everyone is happy with this result.
When Ouyang Ke looked at Zhou Chao at this time, he was full of awe. Now that he thought about what happened before, he suddenly felt that it made sense.
At the beginning, the Ouyang family was not as powerful as the other two families. In fact, the Ouyang family was still a slightly smaller family. The Yang family was a physical cultivation family. Although the power it controlled was very powerful, it always maintained a low profile and was very independent. The Li family and the Li family were constraining each other at first.
The Zhou family was somewhat weak at the time. Later, the new emperor came to power, enabled the Ouyang family, and allowed the Ouyang family to expand with all their strength. They had more and more soldiers and horses, and even other good families were weakened.
Looking at it now, Ouyang Ke suddenly understood that the Ouyang family had done so much, but in the end they still made wedding dresses for people.
Looking at the expressions of Li Yi and Yang Ling now, they may have even more faith in Emperor Zhou.Clothes.
From now on, the crisis in Peach Blossom Sect will no longer be so serious.
Zhou Chao was very happy. Although he still didn't look good to Ouyang Ke, he was much kinder to the other two people, "Take the things away."
After the head was taken off, Zhou Chao said solemnly: "Now the great Zhou Dynasty is facing internal and external troubles. I hope that my dear friends can work together, put aside their past prejudices, and deal with the outside world in unison."
Everyone nodded, Zhou Chao was happy in his heart, and said quickly: "Okay, now I will take charge of Gu personally. Lead thousands of troops to suppress the rebellion! Dear friends, are you willing to help Gu?"
Turin seemed to have known about it for a long time, and his expression did not change. He just looked at Ouyang Ke, fearing that something unexpected would happen. However, Ouyang Ke was a little disheartened at this time. As long as he could save his life and the emperor did not dislike him, he would continue to be loyal.
Neither Li Yi nor Yang Ling are fools. After hearing this, they immediately wanted to refute, for example, it was too dangerous and the emperor wanted to be under the emperor's control.
But both of them stopped their mouths in time and did not say anything.
Zhou Chao performed for so long before, probably just to say this. Neither of them were sure, but it would be absolutely unwise to refuse now. The most important thing is that Turin is now standing in front of them intact.
Although they knew clearly that Zhou Chao was planning to use this opportunity to seize military power, the two of them had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod: "Your Majesty will be invincible and invincible when he goes to war! I am willing."
"Hahaha! Okay!" Zhou Chao laughed, clapped his hands, nodded to the distance, and the door quickly opened.
"My dear friends, please go prepare immediately. This time, except for the officials who stayed behind in the imperial capital, the rest of the troops will follow me on the expedition!"
The heads of the Li family and the Yang family have left, leaving Ouyang Ke looking at Zhou Chao eagerly. He didn't dare to leave because someone was staring at him.
Turin had been looking at Ouyang Ke just now. Zhou Chao turned around, shook his head and looked at Ouyang Ke and said: "Go back, remember what you said. This time you will go to the north with me. Your people still need you."
Ouyang Ke nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Don't worry, Your Majesty, I realized that I was wrong. I voluntarily resigned from the position of Marquis and joined the Enshrined Court"
"Go down!" Zhou Chao waved his hand, as if he didn't hear him. Ouyang Ke could only resign and leave. Halfway there, he turned back to look at Turin.
It¡¯s just that Turin didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of following him. Zhou Chao chuckled and said, ¡°Stay in the house. When you leave, there will be offerings to bring you here.¡± Ouyang Ke¡¯s expression condensed, and it seemed that someone was still watching him. But he doesn't have many ideas now. He has seen Zhou Chao's methods today, and he doesn't think he can escape.
As soon as Ouyang Ke couldn't walk far, Turin's face turned red, "Poof!" A mouthful of blood spurted out. Zhou Chao's expression changed drastically, and he quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "I'm all here to worship you, are you okay?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry"
Zhou Chao breathed a sigh of relief, but looked at the people around him, frowned suddenly, and said to his head: "Kill these people! What happened today must not be leaked!"
"Father!" Zhou Ruoxi was startled and ran out quickly.
