At the same time, the Qitian Empire and the capital.

Late at night, Huang Yuanwu was not sleepy at all. He was wearing thin clothes and sat in his bedroom. The hall was empty, with only a dragon bed in the middle. There was some sporadic royal decorations, and there was nothing else, and there was no one else.

I don’t know how long this situation lasted, but it seems that it has been here since Huang Yuanwu ascended the throne.

对于北境诸国的征讨结束了,北王府在祈天的铁蹄下飞灰湮灭,所有曾经效忠北王府的势力,家族以及商贾,全部被皇元武派出的东王府铁骑歼灭,不,现在应该称之为,祈天御林军.

The result of the destruction of the Northern Prince's Mansion eased the famine in the imperial capital and several nearby towns, and did not cause large-scale deaths. The people in the imperial capital said that this was the achievements of the new emperor and praised him, but Huang Yuanwu knew in his heart that he sacrificed some people who might be innocent in exchange for the survival of the people in the imperial capital now, and these people were far apart from the people he imagined.

However, this is not something he is suffering from now. What he is distressing is something else, something that may really cause chaos to the empire.

First, the third brother Huang Yanghui came to the imperial capital. He asked Huang Yuanwu to grant him the area of ​​the Eastern Palace to his subordinates, so that he could become the new Eastern King. Before coming to the imperial capital to meet Huang Yuanwu, Huang Yanghui had actually controlled all the territory of the Eastern Palace. What surprised Huang Yuanwu was that Liu Yuan, the city lord of the Eastern Palace, would actually choose to stand on Huang Yanghui's side. Not only that, a group of veterans of the Eastern Palace, including Sha Shaoyuan, chose to stand on Huang Yanghui's side and openly supported Huang Yanghui's succession to the Eastern Palace.

This incident gave Huang Yuanwu a headache, but what made him feel relieved was that Yu Sheng did not betray him because he did not support Huang Yanghui's inheritance of the Eastern Palace. He was still detained in Pingjin City and his life and death are unknown.

The Eastern Prince's Mansion is the foundation of Emperor Yuanwu. He never expected that at this time, the third brother who had always feared him would attack him. The matters in the empire had not yet subsided, and clues arose between the brothers, which was the most difficult thing for Emperor Yuanwu to deal with.

Huang Yanghui came to the imperial capital alone and then left alone. During this process, Huang Yuanwu did not make things difficult for his third brother, because he was the younger brother of his wife after all. He was cruel to the enemy, but what could he do to his relatives?

The departure of Huang Yanghui means that the entire Eastern Palace has completely escaped from the control of the imperial capital and belonged to Huang Yanghui's command. Huang Yuanwu didn't say anything, and he was worried, but he said nothing and did nothing, almost acknowledging this matter.

When his third brother left, Huang Yuanwu only made one request to him and let him go to the imperial capital safely. Huang Yanghui agreed, but he still has no whereabouts for Yu Sheng.

If this incident made Huang Yuanwu feel heartbroken and headache, then what happened later made him feel very difficult.

Liu Yi came back and brought back the situation of various surrounding provinces. There was accurate news that a new force was growing rapidly. He joined forces with the province's commercial banks and farmers and quickly controlled a large area. However, because they had no intention of armed resistance, the leaders of the province did not send troops to wipe out the troops.

This is a very clear news, which tells Huang Yuanwu that the empire is going to be in chaos.

Huang Yuanwu absolutely believed in Liu Yi's ability, and he absolutely believed in Liu Yi's loyalty. The news he brought back would not be wrong. The newly rising forces can grow rapidly in other provinces, which means they have a soil for survival and rapid expansion. This also proves from one level that some people in the Qitian Empire are seeking change, and it goes without saying what kind of change they are seeking.

The officials from the provinces outside did not send troops to wipe out the enemy. This was not allowed in the law of Qitian. They did this, but actually revealed two news. First, the officials from these provinces were testing Huang Yuanwu's bottom line. Second, they were inseparable from this newly emerging and rising force.

The matter of the East Prince's Mansion is not a secret at all. Huang Yuanwu lost the base of the East Prince's Mansion. The old subordinates of the East Prince's Mansion in his hands were unable to return to their hometown. This was already very difficult. Such a thing happened at such a critical moment, which made Huang Yuanwu very upset. Recently, he has been thinking about strategies to deal with.

According to his usual temper, if such a thing happens, he will definitely send troops to wipe out the enemy as soon as possible. If the provincial officials are disobedient, he will definitely not show mercy. But his long military career has allowed Huang Yuanwu to understand many truths, one of which is that his division is not known.

The tiger and wolf army of the Eastern Palace is now trapped in the imperial capital, and the army of more than 100,000 seems to have lost its foundation. After the soldiers learned about the Eastern Palace, their morale was disintegrating, which was the primary reason why Emperor Yuanwu was unable to raise an army to fight.

Also, it is not appropriate to block the road with heavy snow in the cold winter, so it is not appropriate to keep the imperial capital safe. There is no more effort to work on the expedition. Even if the morale of the troops has no impact, the food and grass will not be fully supplied. This is not the solution to this matter at all.

Perhaps, the other party had already decided to appear at this time. They calculated that Huang Yuanwu would not send troops to wipe them out, and that these provincial officials would sweep the snow in front of the door, not to care about the life and death of the imperial capital or Qi Tian, ​​so they blatantly expanded. If the snow melted in the spring of the coming year, if Huang Yuanwu could solve the problem at hand, they would have been prepared to deal with it. In short, they had already made a step forward with the plot to make a secret.

Huang Yuanwu also knew the truth. If we really waited for spring, the power of rebellion would have become a climate. Now that Huang Yanghui's sudden change of face towards him has made Huang Yuanwu feel extremely uncomfortable. The Eastern Palace is afraid that it will never be possible to send troops to help the imperial capital to suppress the rebellion. Relying on the current power of the imperial capital alone, let alone the morale of the army, just for the Lao Shi's expedition, Huang Yuanwu did not even have a reliable general who would lead the expedition.

Although Ding Jiang was loyal and brave enough to be a general, he did not have the ability to be the marshal who coordinated the entire war. Ye Guan Ning Yi was separated, and Liu Yuanyu followed Huang Yanghui one of them, and the other was now detained by Huang Yanghui in the East Palace. There was really no one at Huang Yuanwu's hand.

Previously, the Huang Yuanwu plan was to subscribe the entire Eastern Palace under Yu Sheng's jurisdiction, and to become the rear of the imperial capital, Huang Yanghui safely opened up the wastelands in the southern territory, laying the foundation for his future foundation, and further consolidating the power of the Eastern Palace. But what he never expected was that his younger brother would play with him, and this hand cut off the firewood from the underworld, completely disrupting all Huang Yuanwu's plans.

Huang Yuanwu actually knew in his heart that as long as he returned to the Eastern Palace, the Eastern Palace would still be his territory. Millions of people in the Eastern Palace recognized his little prince Huang Yuanwu, not Huang Yanghui. But Huang Yuanwu had reasons that he could not leave the imperial capital. At the same time, he also knew in his heart that there must be other reasons behind Huang Yanghui's sudden changes, but he really couldn't take action to deal with these matters now. He was alone and had no skills.

Since he ascended the throne of Emperor Qi, Huang Yuanwu has never slept in a complete sleep, and he is walking on thin ice every day, which is far from when he was the little prince of the Eastern Palace. It seems that the emperor is above all else, and everything in the world is his, and he has the power of life and death for everyone. In fact, only the emperor himself knows the emperor's suffering, for example, in this huge palace, he doesn't even have a person who can speak intimate words.

In the empty hall, only a candle lamp was placed on the table in front of Huang Yuanwu. The faint light spread into the entire hall, making the place look a little gloomy. Huang Yuanwu certainly did not like this atmosphere, but he was also unable to adapt to the emperor's rules, and could not adapt to the waiter who had changed his voice to serve him by his side, and he could not be able to come at any time to open and secret arrows.

After the ceremony of ascension, Huang Yuanwu ordered that there should be no attendants near his bedroom. He seemed to have become a real lonely man, and everything he had to bear.

The officials of the imperial capital were very enthusiastic about him, the new emperor, and showed that flattery was only allowed. They tried every means to show themselves in front of Emperor Yuanwu, hoping to obtain a higher official position for themselves. One day, the emperor and one minister, not to mention that after Yang Qin's rebellion, a large number of officials in the imperial capital were wiped out. The rest were either self-protection or conspiracy. In short, the ability to do things was put aside first, and the ability to save lives was first-class.

Huang Yuanwu was disdainful of these officials, but he also found some outstanding abilities to be responsible for the jurisdiction of the imperial capital. As for the matters in the outside provinces, Huang Yuanwu had never mentioned them publicly in the court. Even if other officials mentioned them, Huang Yuanwu did not speak out at all. He pretended that he had not heard of this, because the opinions of these people were not working at all, and because Huang Yuanwu himself had not figured out what to do.

He began to miss his days in the Eastern Palace. At that time, he had no worries and only the things he needed to consider about the twenty cities of the Eastern Palace. Everything was governed in an orderly manner. It was not like Qitian now. It was a mess that he had started to clean up from nowhere.

On the table, there was a cup of tea that had already been cold. On the teahouse next to it, there was a delicate teapot, which was steaming. Huang Yuanwu was stunned when he looked at the charcoal fire in the stove, subconsciously picked up the tea cup on the table and drank it all in one go.

At this time, he suddenly remembered Huang Yongning, Huang Yuchen, and his two younger brothers who had not heard from for a long time. If one of them was by their side, Huang Yuanwu would not have been like this.

His brows frowned slightly, and he sighed softly. He sent someone to inquire about his two younger brothers, without any news.
