When it was dark, Chang'an City ushered in a bleeding night.

Ordinary people hid at home and dared not come out. The city gates were blocked and the shadows of the Imperial Guards could be seen everywhere.

They rushed directly into the targeted house and began to search the house.

If anyone dares to resist, he will kill him.

At first, some people resisted, and after being killed several groups, they all became honest.

Overnight, the prison in Chang'an City was filled with people.

Early the next morning, more than 10,000 people in Chang'an City were sent to prison, and the newspaper also clearly published the crimes of these people and the subsequent handling results.

Now there are more than half of the wealthy people in Chang'an City, which is a major event that shocks the people.

The rich man who is famous on the list on weekdays now has his head hanging at the city gate.

The rich young men and ladies have now become prisoners and are waiting to be exiled to the Western Regions.

After the news was passed back to the General Manager's Mansion, Xue Donglai was still a little uncomfortable with this rough method.

In this way, all the wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City were cleared out?

Xue Donglai seemed to be still dreaming. Some people here had done business with him before and had drunk alcohol, but now their heads were already hanging at the city gate.

He only felt that the power of heaven was furious and could not guess.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Huan set off from Chang'an and left Zhang Hao in Chang'an to assist Xue Donglai in handling the funeral.

The most important thing now is to turn the situation in the Central Plains back.

Half a month ago, Zhao Chen was outside Taiyuan Prefecture, and his 500,000 army had surrounded Taiyuan Prefecture.

Because the border was moved to Yanyun as early as the first year of Jingkang, in the Jingkang New Policy, the defenders of Taiyuan Prefecture were transferred to Yanyun by the north. Taiyuan City was no longer the military center of the past, and the garrison was empty.

After being surrounded for a few days, Taiyuan City fell.

After taking over Taiyuan City, the morale of the rebels became even stronger.

Two days later, Zhao Chen arrived at Daming Mansion and mastered all the Hedong Road to Zhao Chen.

On the plains of Hedong Road, displaced refugees can be seen everywhere.

Five days ago, Zhao Chen's army headed south, only a hundred miles away from the Yellow River.

There are still 30,000 imperial guards in Tokyo, and 100,000 local standing troops were urgently recruited in Yingtian Prefecture.

Liaodong changed drastically and the court was furious.

But like all times, once the emperor is gone, he becomes a mess.

Fortunately, Zhao Huan was in power over the years and relied on arbitrary killings and high-pressure reforms to suppress the party struggles in the Song Dynasty.

The ministers in the court first scolded the King of Liao through newspapers, and then the ministers in the two prefectures and courts started a long discussion.

At the beginning of the discussion, everyone still strongly opposed the Liao King and prepared to support the crown prince Zhao Chun to succeed the throne.

But soon, different sounds appeared in the court.

The old group of reform ministers led by the Zhou Dynasty began to find moral reasons for the Liao king's army.

Emperor Shengwu returned to heaven, and his corpse was still in the Western Regions. The world was in chaos, and the country was covered with dust. There were treacherous ministers in the court and the country were chaotic, which distorted the new policy and made the people resent. The King of Liao had no choice but to raise troops to correct the country, which was a saintly virtue!

The treacherous ministers he refers to here are just pointing at Yu Yunwen's nose and scolding.

So soon the courtiers divided the two factions.

Some political speculators are ready to move in Tokyo and start to attack the various ills of Yu Yunwen's administration through the power of public opinion.

For example, on the railway from Nandu to Tokyo, there were many corpses, the court did not pay any wages, and the local army ignored human lives, but Yu Yunwen sat high in the temple and ignored them.

Some people also accused Yu Yunwen of increasing the commercial tax, which put countless small trading companies on the verge of bankruptcy, countless people were unemployed and poor.

Some people even accused Yu Yunwen of the surge in housing prices in major cities during his reign. The ordinary people who originally lived in the prefecture city had nowhere to sleep.

People began to miss the era when Emperor Shengwu and Xu Churen were in power.

Someone publicly gave a speech on the street saying that in that era, everything was to rectify the situation, wealth was freely spreading to the lower class, and everyone had the opportunity to become rich.

Now, the people in the dynasty are already corrupt. They take advantage of the battle of His Majesty Emperor Shengwu to kill the Western Regions and prepare to introduce a series of evil policies to exploit the people.

There have been typing in some alleys in Tokyo: If the thief Yu is not dead, the world will be destroyed!

For a period of time after the public opinion fermented, some people began to shout: Long live freedom, people need freedom, equality, and the truth needs to be known!

So, a group of people went to the streets of Tokyo and began to demonstrate to the government.

Subsequently, remarks about "The King of Liao is the master of China" began to appear in Tokyo.

If it weren't for the Privy Councilor Zhang Xiaochun, who was standing on Yu Yunwen's side, Zhao Chun in the East Palace would have been abolished.

Lu You, the famous young man from the middle-aged and young generation of the Imperial Guard, then entered the Privy Council and met Zhang Xiaochun.

A few months ago, Lu You, who was only seventeen years old, was ordered to command 10,000 imperial guards and 30,000 xiang troops, and began to set up defense lines in the border prefectures in the north of the Yellow River.

This is just like when the Jin soldiers headed south.

At the same time, the Privy Council began to draw local standing troops from the prefectures in the south to the capital to go to Beijing to serve the king.

On the other side of Yu Yunwen, he began to preside over the situation where the imperial concubine ruled behind the curtain.

As for the queen Zhu Lian, the queen was placed under house arrest for Zhao Chen's rebellion.

This move even angered the old reform ministers led by the Zhou Dynasty.

Soon, the party struggle that had disappeared revived during this period.

The ministers in the court all began to stand clearly, and the prince's faction headed by Yu Yunwen and Zhang Xiaochun, and the upright faction headed by Zhou Dynasty began to form an opposition.

The Zhou Dynasty was in charge of important positions in the Three Divisions. He suppressed the Imperial Guards on the grounds of disaster relief, and the transfer envoys in the south received hints that the food and grass should be the first in the disaster area.

In this way, the army's food on the Yellow River front decreased significantly, and Zhang Xiaochun had to buy grain from Tokyo at a high price, which led to a surge in grain prices in Tokyo.

This line directly involves people's livelihood, which makes the people in Tokyo feel resentful.

Such a chaotic situation has made countless political speculators who have been dormant.

These days, countless students have also become restless.

Someone wrote a letter to the Zhou Dynasty publicly, saying that Zhou Xianggong should put the world first and join forces with the queen to come out to take charge of the overall situation.

Some people think that the righteousness of the Lord Yu is for a long time, so they should stand up and accept the mobilization and command of the Imperial Guards, take over Tokyo City with the entire army, and support the ceremony of the prince's succession.

In the first half of the 15th year of Jingkang, the center of the world, the capital of the Song Dynasty, fell into an unprecedented state of chaos.

People seemed to be back to the fear of the Jin soldiers heading south.

However, Zong Ze died of illness before the emperor's expedition, and the position of marshal in the military governor's office was temporarily vacant.

Coincidentally, the Master Zong who had returned from Youzhou to recuperate was so ill that he could not stand up.

In April of the 15th year of Jingkang, Yu Yunwen, who had never believed that the emperor had died in battle, finally couldn't stand it and planned to join forces with Zhang Xiaochun to welcome the crown prince Zhao Chun to succeed to the new emperor.

In the name of the new emperor, he was granted all the general's power, judicial power, financial power and administration to Yu Yunwen, to calm the turmoil with the most decisive means.

This proposal was even more crazierly resisted by half of the ministers.
