Chapter 1159 Mende is completely defeated
The vast majority of people are disgusted by turmoil, because turmoil means instability and crises.
But there are also a very small number of people who like turmoil, or even enjoy it, not because the turmoil can bring them enough benefits, but because of their personality. Such people have a somewhat anti-human character. They can feel happiness and gloat from the misfortunes of others. If the misfortunes of others are caused by themselves, they are even more happy.
Changguang Wang Gaozhan has such a side in his character. The period from the incident to the present can be said to be the most comfortable period in his life.
The entire capital is shrouded in a huge atmosphere of fear and tension. From the ministers in the court to the heads of the villages and towns, almost everyone is in danger and uneasy.
Gao Zhan is at the top of this temporary power structure. No one in Ye dares to disobey him. Any of his needs will be catered to without any bottom line and satisfied to the best of their ability. Sometimes even he himself is not very clear about his own interests, and wine, sex, money and silk are already placed in front of him.
Wherever he comes in or out, he must be the focus of the crowd. The crowd of disciples are like stars over the moon, paying homage to him without daring to show any disobedience. This gave him the illusion that he was omnipotent. He only felt that he held the king's title in his hand, had the constitution in his mouth, and could control the world with every move he made.
"This is such a great joy, no wonder the fans are so obsessed with it!"
Sometimes in the dead of night, Gao Zhan couldn't help but lead He Shikai and several other close associates to the halls of Ye Palace, wandering back and forth in front of the royal bed, and occasionally sitting on it, while his subordinates worshiped the Supreme Being below. I often do this play and never tire of it.
Putting aside the material enjoyment brought by power, Gao Zhan's greatest pleasure is to judge the crimes of the government and the public.
The purpose of this coup was to attack the treacherous minister Yang Min, so the liquidation of Yang Min's associates was naturally one of the contents of the coup. After settling the situation in Yedu, Gao Yan led the army to Liaoyang in a hurry, and the task of cleaning up Yang Min's remaining party was naturally handed over to Gao Zhan.
Gao Zhan also had a cruel and mean character, and the imperial censor Bi Yiyun and others also followed his fancy, making massive reports and exposing Yang Min's so-called accomplices. Gao Zhan also involuntarily ordered the people to be detained and tried carefully. For a time, Ye City was The prisons are overcrowded.
Gao Zhan's law enforcement also highlighted the principle of treating everyone equally. In addition to the ministers in power, even the neighbors in Yang Min's home were not spared. Even though these neighbors are just ordinary people who have no influence on the current situation, Yang Min has been doing evil for a long time, but these people have no report. If they are not aware of it, it means they are ignorant of right and wrong and lack of education. If they are aware of it and do not take action, it is covering up the crime. , traitors and accomplices, in short they are all guilty!
Under the guidance of this spirit of preferring to do things in vain, Gao Zhan and his minions and comrades quickly established a powerful and majestic image in the minds of the people of Yedu, and their sense of existence was greater than in the past twenty years of his life. Much more intense.
But such a comfortable life is not without end. Not long after, news came from Liaoyang. Under the persuasion of the Empress Dowager from the south, Ping Qin King Gao Guiyan finally made concessions and was willing to let people from outside Ganlu Temple enter the temple to participate in the stay. guard.
This meant that King Changshan and others who launched the coup finally took full control of the situation, and even the forces of the Suwei around the emperor were infiltrated and controlled. When the news came back to Yedu, all the people involved in the coup couldn't help but celebrate. This coup was about to be a complete victory, and they would also usher in a moment of reward for their merits.
But Gao Zhan was the only one who felt unhappy. Once the coup was over, his brother Gao Yan and others were afraid that they would soon return to Yedu, which also meant that the current abnormal power structure was about to end, and normalcy still had to be established. The political landscape of sex.
This is naturally unacceptable to Gao Zhan, who has enjoyed supreme power. Although his brother Gao Yan also agreed to pass the throne to him in the future, even if Gao Yan is willing to abide by this agreement, he is still under age and still in his prime. If someone accidentally encounters some kind of injury and tuberculosis, Gao Zhan may still be able to survive. If you want to stay ahead, this so-called agreement will naturally become a piece of paper.
"The Supreme Lord is in vain. He can be controlled by others so easily. It's really ridiculous! But with three points of his past pride, he will not be controlled by the crowd and unable to fight back. If he can kill the crowd with a dying blow, he will be regarded as the founding hero of a generation. So heroic!”
He said angrily, complaining that his brother Gao Yang was so depraved and incompetent that he couldn't even win a lose-lose outcome. He even became dissatisfied with his mother, Lou: "The one we are fighting for now is the position of the Supreme Emperor. The old woman is partial and short-sighted, and treats the power of destiny as a personal plaything. Do you think that in the future, the people in the world should rely on this old woman to dote on her and give her favors? "
But no matter how much he complained, he could not change the established fact in Liaoyang. What he could do was to pass on his depression to others and relieve his own depression through the pain of others.
So he went to the queen's bedroom in the inner palace. The doors and windows were still sealed, and even food and supplies were brought from the wall.
After Gao Zhan arrived here, he shouted to the palace inside the wall: "How is my sister-in-law doing today? I have good news to share with you. The Changshan Wangshi Brigade has entered Liaoyang Ganlu Temple to join the Supreme Guard. Presumably, soon, Dajia will Then you can return to Yedu. My sister-in-law misses you so much that we can meet you then."
Not long after, Li's slightly hoarse and dry voice sounded from the wall: "Is what King Changguang said true? Your Majesty, how is your Majesty's situation now?"
Gao Zhan couldn't help feeling pity after hearing this weak voice, but the concern for the emperor revealed in these words made him irritated. He kicked through the fence in front of the door and broke in directly. In the palace courtyard.
When the palace slaves in the garden saw this, they were all shocked and fled away one after another. Li was about to retreat, but she still thought about the emperor's safety after all. She stood there and looked at Gao Zhan with a pleading look on her face and continued to ask: " I beg King Changguang to confess his concubine, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, will he live or die now?"
When Gao Zhan saw Mrs. Li's pale face and haggard expression, and her slender waist, he felt a surge of pity in his heart. He couldn't help but sigh: "Companies in this world are all temporary. Who can't live alone without me? Sister-in-law." Why don't you relax your mind and stop being obsessed with old things. If you are worried that you will not be able to continue your wealth after the old man passes away, although I am not talented, I will be happy to take care of you. "
After saying this, he glared at the palace slaves who had fled in all directions because of their sudden intrusion and said angrily: "You palace slaves did not stay here to concentrate on serving the master, but ran away quickly when something happened. You really deserve to be killed!" Come here, capture all these palace slaves and beat them to death in front of the palace!"
People from the rear, Shikai and others rushed forward one after another to execute this order, and soon the palace and courtyard were filled with wailing and screaming. Gao Zhan stepped forward with a proud look on his face and raised his hand to pull at Li's skirt.
Mrs. Li was extremely embarrassed and angry at this moment. After seeing this, she raised her hand and grabbed Gao Zhan's face with her palms. She shouted angrily and cursed: "What kind of evil is this? It's so desolate! Gao's virtues are so great. All defeated by thieves!"
Gao Zhan couldn't dodge, and his cheek had already been scratched with two bloody marks by Li's nails. He was furious in his heart. He raised his leg and kicked Li to the ground. Then he stepped forward and stepped on her heavily, mouthing Then he said angrily: "What kind of virtue is there in this family? Even if there is, hasn't it been completely corrupted by your husband? You are a cunning woman, you serve ugly people and ask for love, but I don't agree to kiss you now. I am really willing to be humble and self-indulgent." Please humiliate me!”
Although he cursed fiercely, he did not dare to go too far, because he was a confidant who came here with him, so his words and actions were slightly arbitrary. As for the people in the Queen's Palace who stayed here, after several people were beaten to death with sticks, the others were also terrified to death and kept silent.
After insulting Mr. Li, he went out bitterly, and ordered people to seal the palace again, and no one was allowed to come near.
After displaying his lustful power in the Queen's Palace, Gao Zhan's depression was slightly relieved. He is not an ignorant playboy who indulges himself blindly. He also knows that after understanding what happened in Liaoyang, the situation will definitely change again, and he can no longer act as unscrupulously as before. He still needs to make some preparations for the future. Personnel preparation.
After returning to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he summoned Han Feng, a noble son of Korean descent whom he had recruited recently, and said: "The matter in Liaoyang will be decided soon. In order to gather people's support when he returns to the capital, King Changshan will definitely decide." I have a lot of grievances with the noble politicians from Bohai, and there are many Han children from Hebei who look at their heads. I have a lot of grudges with them. If they come back to the court and are in my way, I should kill them quickly!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the general will never let him see the rising sun again!"
After Han Feng heard this, he quickly accepted the order respectfully, then resigned and went to carry out the order.
In addition to Gao Dezheng, there are also other personnel matters that need to be finalized. While he still had the power in his hands, Gao Zhan began to place all his cronies in prominent positions. Even if Gao Yan needs to make adjustments when he returns in the future, it is difficult to completely overturn the reappointment. As long as a part of it is retained, it will be of great benefit to him in the future.
"It would be great if the Liaoyang Division Brigade could return later!"
While he was busy making these personnel arrangements, Gao Zhan couldn't help but think to himself that it was difficult to transition from extravagance to frugality. He was used to living a life of lavishness and indulgence, and when he thought about it, he had to put away his tail and live a low-key life. I felt very disappointed.
But soon his idea completely changed, from resisting the return of the Liaoyang troops to extremely looking forward to it. The reason was naturally the urgent letters sent to Yedu from the directions of Heyang and Jinyong City. Each letter was marked as urgent, which made Gao Zhan couldn't help but turn pale. The worry in his heart was far from being resolved by angering his sister-in-law.
