Into Unscientific

  Chapter 171 The last link of the mission, Lao Su's obsession (5.8K)

  One hour and three quarters of an hour.

   This number is not the time it took some idiot author to code this chapter, but the final time it took Xiao Zhao to successfully occupy the palace.

   That's right.

   Less than three hours before and after.

  The 'King Qin' army occupied the entire palace.

  After all, when the battle in the forbidden area started, the defenders on the south, north, and west sides had only one choice:

   Support the battlefield.

  After abandoning the defensive 'fortress' of the city gate, the defenders lost the most important protective barrier, and the entire battle situation instantly became a ground confrontation.

   Not to mention that there are only a little over 200 people on duty in the forbidden area. After the old man and the others took down the forbidden access gate, they even had enough time to use the darkness to ambush the "enemy army" on the way.

  Double the number of people + take the lead, and the final result is naturally that the old and others won a big victory.

   Another half an hour passed.

  Wende Hall.

  At this moment, more than a dozen key personnel involved in the coup d'état are gathering in this foreign court palace, both civil and military.

  Old Zhong was wearing military armor, standing in front of his seat, and respectfully reported to Xiao Zhao sitting at the head:

   "Your Highness, the defenders on the south, north, and west sides have all been captured, and there are no other troops in the palace."

   "Among them, the north and west defenders had served under Chu Dao. After realizing that the general situation was over, Chu Dao personally stepped forward and successfully disarmed and surrendered without a single soldier."

   "The defenders in the south fought our troops. Twenty-three soldiers were killed and eighty-six were injured."

   "One hundred and four defenders in the south were killed, and most of the rest were wounded. At this time, they are persuading them to surrender."

  Hearing the number of casualties of the sergeants on both sides, Xiao Zhao's face suddenly changed slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

   After all, he's still a pre-adult prince at the end of the day, a prince a few months ago.

  Although influenced by Zhezong, he was ambitious and prepared for bloodshed and even defeat before the coup, but this was the first time he experienced such a cruel situation.

   But soon.

  Xiao Zhao realized his identity, and the confusion in his eyes was immediately replaced by determination:

   "General Zhong, no matter whether it is a dead or injured sergeant, he must do a good job of compensation after the incident is over-remember, no matter the enemy or us, this matter has to be troubled by you."

  Old Zhong immediately clasped his fists and replied:

   "Uncle Yi understands!"

   Then Xiao Zhao looked outside the hall again, the sky was getting brighter now, and he said:

   "General Zhong, how is the situation in the city?"

  Old Zhong took out a letter from his body, passed it from the servant to Xiao Zhao, and explained at the same time:

   "Returning to Your Highness, the army led by Zhengru and Zhengchen has taken control of the residences of the dignitaries in the court, including not limited to Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, Zhao Tingzhi, Tong Guan, etc."

   "At the same time, the curfew is still maintained in the city, and our people are manning the gates of the city, and the Taoist priest has rushed to the city to preside over the overall situation."

  Xiao Zhao felt a little relieved.

   There was mental arithmetic but no intention, and the right battalion of the Forbidden Army was also controlled. At least from the perspective of the situation, the whole incident was almost certain.

   Then he thought of something and asked:

   "By the way, Qing. Well, what about the officials who were arrested?"

  The old man smiled, his expression remained unchanged, and he replied:

   "Returning to Your Highness, more than 70 officials who were arrested have been rescued from prison, and their family members are old as well."

   "The strange thing is that no one was injured, no matter whether it was officials or relatives and friends."

   "According to the confession of the prisoner, this is an order left by Master Guo, which stated that no one should be injured or killed."

  When mentioning the name Master Guo, Lao Zhong’s tone seemed a bit solemn, even with a hint of .

Respect.

   As said before.

  Just based on what Guo Jing did before, let alone Song Huizong.

  In the feudal period, except for a few people who did not believe in ghosts and gods until their death, most people must respect and fear him, even the enemy.

   Even to some extent.

  Xu Yun created an 'immortal' abruptly.

  Xiao Zhao slightly glanced at Lao Su and Xu Yun who were at the side, nodded and said:

   "I understand, old general Zhong, you, Jiang Xueshi, and Li Shilang will jointly complete the appeasement of these Yuanyou party officials who have been released from prison."

  Jiang Xueshi in Xiao Zhao's mouth is Jiang Zhiqi, and Li Shilang is Li Qingchen, both of whom are quasi-leaders of the Yuanyou Party.

  After explaining the appeasement work of the Yuanyou Party.

  Xiao Zhao assigned some more tasks, and then dismissed everyone, leaving only

  Old Su and Xu Yun.

  After the crowd retreated, he first looked at Lao Su, and bowed heavily:

   "Su Gong, please give me your advice on what this king should do next!"

  When he chose to go to the palace with Xiao Zhao, Lao Su was ready to be labeled a hat by later generations.

   Now it’s a done deal, and he has already adjusted his mentality, just listen to him:

   "Your Highness, can you allow me to ask a question first?"

  Xiao Zhao nodded, made a gesture of invitation with his right hand, and said:

   "Mr. Su, but it doesn't matter."

  Old Su glanced at him and asked:

   "I don't know how your Highness plans to treat King Duan?"

   "King Duan?"

   It's been a long time since I heard this name, Xiao Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that what Old Su was talking about was the deposed emperor Zhao Ji.

   Xiao Zhao had already thought about this answer before the incident, so he quickly said:

   "Su Gong, after all, Zhao Ji is the blood relative of the king. He wants to kill the king, but the king will not kill him, nor can he."

   "Therefore, this king is going to build a Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Bianjing, and arrange twenty or thirty servants. Zhao Ji will spend his life there."

  Old Su heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

  This question is a small test made by him. Xiao Zhao's words are undoubtedly a high-scoring option.

   To a certain extent, it can also prove that Xiao Zhao has not lost his mind due to the change of status.

   Then he paused and looked around.

  There are only three people in the palace right now, so he directly pointed out some words:

   "His Royal Highness, according to the old minister, if His Highness wants to inherit the great power, he must be honest and fair."

   "If His Highness's name is to be upright, then Zhao Ji's name must be 'crooked'."

   "Therefore, the first thing His Majesty has to do is to go to the ancestral temple and cry and complain that King Duan is fatuous and frivolous. His Highness did this out of desperation."

   "Secondly, Zongzheng came forward to petition. His Highness first made three remarks and three concessions, and finally he had no choice but to accept the opinions of the crowd."

   "The third is to amnesty the world after boarding the plane."

  Students who have usurped positions in previous lives know it.

  After the coup, if you want to inherit the great rule in a legitimate way, you basically cannot do without the three tricks of crying from the ancestral temple, asking for resignation, and amnesty for the world.

  The method of Zumiao crying is very simple, just do what Lao Su said.

   After crying, he said that he was willing to choose another emperor to inherit the Datong. After the emperor succeeded to the throne, he was willing to accept any punishment, so that Guozuo could continue.

  As long as you are not acting at the level of Ge Ge, you can basically handle this level.

   As for asking to resign, it is more troublesome.

   First of all, Zongzheng from Zongzheng Temple should be invited to come forward, and he will personally come to persuade him.

  For example, your highness, you are the best and most prestigious among the princes. Only you are worthy of inheriting the throne

   Often at this time.

  Zongzheng will also take an elderly clan elder to make up another story with the remaining half of his breath, most of which involve visions at birth or something.

  For example, at the moment you were born, Your Highness, all the vibrating eggs in the palace vibrated together, which is a sign from heaven.

  Xiao Zhao has to resolutely refuse.

   I think that Zhao Yu is pretty good

  Zhao Yu has to cooperate and say that I can’t do it, you should come

   After resigning three times in a row, Xiao Zhao could "helplessly" take over the throne.

   After he ascends the throne, the third step will be carried out.

   That is, amnesty for the whole world, a year's tax reduction and exemption, in exchange for the gratitude and reputation of the people.

   Soon however.

  Old Su thought of something again, frowned slightly, and said:

   "However, Your Highness, according to the old minister, I'm afraid you need to add more ingredients to the third step."

  Xiao Zhao hummed with some doubts, and asked:

   "Adding ingredients? Where did Mr. Su say that?"

  Old Su looked up at him and sighed:

   "Your Highness, don't forget that the first emperor and the empress dowager passed away within a year, and it has only been seven months since King Duan ascended the throne."

   "And King Duan also made the third step at the beginning of his accession to the throne"

  "Amnesty for the prisoners in the world, more than 20,000 prisoners accumulated in eight years, tax reduction for one year."

  Xiao Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and then frowned.

Yup.

  How did he forget this?

   It has only been seven months since Zhao Ji ascended the throne, and he has just pardoned the prisoners in the world, the number of which is as many as 20,000.

  Now all that is left for him to pardon are the new prisoners who have been imprisoned within seven months. How can the number compare with the backlog of prisoners over the years?

   At the same time, taxation is more troublesome than amnesty:

  The tax promulgated by Zhao Ji is valid until next year. Should Xiao Zhao directly cover it, or continue to postpone it?

  If you choose to cover directly, the established facts will not change at all for the common people:

  Even if the emperor is changed and the tax is only exempted for one year, how many people will be grateful to Xiao Zhao?

   There may even be some nursery rhymes among the folks, ridiculing whether the emperor has changed or not.

   But if it continues to be postponed, wouldn't that be acknowledging the validity of Zhao Ji's throne?

   True.

  Xiao Zhao can also choose to extend the time, such as tax exemption for three years and so on.

   But still the same sentence, in the case of Zhao Ji first promulgating the official document of exempting taxes, this approach is still not strong enough.

  Think here.

  Xiao Zhao couldn't help looking at Lao Su, and bowed down again:

   "Also ask Mr. Su to teach me!"

  Old Su thought for a moment, a gleam of brilliance suddenly flashed in his eyes, and said:

   "Your Highness, if you can't make a difference in the number of years, then naturally there is only one way left."

  Xiao Zhao quickly asked:

"any solution?"

  Old Su raised his head, looked at the ceiling in the hall, and said:

   "Try to make the momentum of the ascension extraordinary, for example, take advantage of Master Guo's current reputation, to come to the court unprecedented"

   "Auspiciousness descended from heaven!"

   The voice just fell.

  Old Su and Xiao Zhao turned their heads together and set their sights on .

  Xu Yun on the side.

  Xu Yun: "."

   After a while.

  Xiao Zhao nodded thoughtfully, followed Old Su to Xu Yun's side, and said to Xu Yun:

   "Young Master Wang, it seems that we should have a good talk."

  Looking at Xiao Zhao's burning gaze, the corners of Xu Yun's mouth twitched a few times.

  In the process of controlling the restricted area, Lao Zhong and others naturally caught Guo Jing who was doing night vigil.

  Although Lao Zhong and the others treated Guo Jing fairly mildly out of awe of occultism, some things could not stand up to inquiry at all.

  In that case, Lao Su could only choose to tell Xiao Zhao the truth.

   That is to say

  At this time, Xiao Zhao already knew that Xu Yun was the real mastermind behind the scenes.

  So for Xu Yun, Xiao Zhao's feelings are very, very complicated:

   Anger at him for getting himself into a situation.

   He is also grateful to him for pushing the line of ministers and the line of border commanders, so that he is only one step away from the throne-after all, it is impossible for him to achieve a successful coup d'état based on the resources that Xiao Zhao had before.

   Other than that.

   There is even a hint of surprise and fear that he can grasp the celestial phenomena and earthquakes.

   It's still the same sentence as before.

  All of Guo Jing's actions are 'miracles' that no one has been able to do throughout the ages.

  Although the identity of Guo Jing's ghost has been revealed, it just transfers the image of that mysterious 'immortal' from Guo Jing to Xu Yun.

   It's just compared to Zhao Ji.

  Xiao Zhao's rationality is higher, he is not so talkative, and he has also been exposed to certain basic scientific knowledge.

  Therefore, his acceptance of Xu Yun's ability to predict the celestial phenomena will be relatively slightly higher, and he will not attribute it entirely to ghosts and gods.

  At the same time as a quasi-emperor with a chest.

  Xiao Zhao is also very clear about how valuable the 'science' mastered by Xu Yun is.

   Killing is definitely not allowed, but scruples also exist.

  Combined with many emotions above, Xiao Zhao's heart is really mixed.

   As for Xu Yun.

   I can roughly guess Xiao Zhao's psychology at this time.

be honest.

  If he is really a Song Dynasty person who has received the inheritance of the "Feng Ling Yue Ying Sect", he really can't say how he will choose.

  But when Xu Yun's identity was changed to a time traveler who could return to reality, his choice became much easier:

   As long as he completes Old Su's mission before the time limit expires, he can return to reality, and this time limit is at most one year away.

   But in terms of the value he possesses.

   Regardless of whether Xiao Zhao will change in the future, at least in the remaining year, his life will never be in danger.

   So with this state of mind, Xu Yun couldn't help but relax a lot.

  I saw him bowing his hands to Xiao Zhao and saying:

   "His Royal Highness, the so-called auspicious signs of heaven, in the final analysis, are nothing more than using some unknown means at the time."

   "For example, colorful celestial light, Bianhe tribute stele, etc., if they are properly prepared, it is not difficult to arrange them."

   "Therefore, Your Highness, there are various methods of auspiciousness, and please give a specific name, so that Caomin can design a detailed plan."

  Xiao Zhao nodded slightly, turned to look at Lao Su, and asked:

   "Su Gong, do you have any thoughts about Xiangrui?"

  Old Su pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea that he had thought about but was deeply buried in his heart because of its absurdity suddenly appeared in his mind.

   He asked Xu Yun with some hope:

   "Xiao Wang, according to rumors and myths, all immortals have mounts, such as cranes, phoenix luan, etc., riding them can overlook the mountains and rivers, and travel thousands of miles a day."

   "I don't want to see fairy birds, but Fenglingyueyingzong has countless inheritances. Is there a certain mysterious skill that can take people to the sky?"

   "If this is the case, His Highness can temporarily manage the government in the name of supervising the country, and wait until the day he ascends the throne, who will dare to question His Highness's prestige?"

  Old Su just finished speaking.

   A long-lost dialog box appeared in front of Xu Yun:

【Ding! 】

  【The main mission of the current dungeon has been triggered, the mission requirements are as follows】:

  【Wallfacers are requested to complete their obsession to fly into the sky before Su Song dies. The final score is determined by the technical difficulty and degree of completion. 】

  【Note: Do whatever you want, boy, praise the sun! 】

  See this scenario.

  Xu Yun couldn't help being silent for a moment, and said slowly:

   "Go to heaven? It's not difficult."

  The eyes of Lao Su and Xiao Zhao suddenly lit up.

  Especially Lao Su, whose old heart couldn't help beating faster:

   "Xiao Wang, is this statement true?"

  Xu Yun nodded seriously, and affirmed:

   "Of course it is true. In Fenglingyueyingzong, there is a basic skill that can be done with hands, called"

"airplane."

   Something happened at home. Grandma has been in poor health recently. The uncle who claimed to have severed relations with grandpa and grandma more than ten years ago suddenly came to the door and forced grandpa to change his will.

   My grandparents are in their nineties this year, and they have three children, my mother, my uncle and my uncle.

Among them, the eldest uncle cheated my grandfather's only house more than 40 years ago. The reason was that my aunt would not marry him if there was no house. Later, I found out that it was a bureau set up by two people, and the grandfather's house was directly transferred. to his name.

   So more than ten years ago, my grandfather had been in a lawsuit with my uncle, and finally severed the relationship.

   Grandpa has worked hard all his life, but in the end he only has a staff room in a retirement building whose property rights do not belong to him. Are you angry?

   In 2012, my grandparents were in their 80s. My mother took them home to take care of them when they were in poor health. My uncle also came to help occasionally. When we were hospitalized, we took turns to accompany them.

   Grandpa made a will a few years ago, leaving all the pension to my mother and my uncle, and didn’t give my uncle a penny.

   As a result, the eldest uncle heard from somewhere that his grandmother was dying recently, so he ran to the door to ask for a change in the will, and kicked the door in the morning. The noise was so loud that he called the police.

   So I've been busy with these things all day today, so I can't do it for the time being, sorry

   Tomorrow, I may have to accompany my grandfather to the notary office, and it is estimated that it will be made up the day after tomorrow.

   In addition, the author's words are free, and there is no charge for such a long paragraph.
