It was night, in a heavily-guarded palace in the Moyun Heavenly Palace.
Ink Cloud Heavenly Emperor Yuan Tianjie was already preparing to go to bed at this moment. In front of him was a stunning beauty. This person was Yuan Tianjie's first wife, the current Ink Cloud Heavenly Court's official Heavenly Empress!
That beauty frowned, opened her red lips, and said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, although I shouldn't meddle in state affairs, I'm afraid that handling this matter like this is really a bit too much … Marshal Mu has been loyal and devoted for hundreds of thousands of years, and he has worked hard for many years. Why do you have to make things like this? He is your old official, why hurt the heart of a loyal official! "
On Yuan Tianjie's thin face, his eyes flashed inexplicably, and he said softly, "It's fine …"
The Empress was a bit anxious, "Your Majesty, please reconsider this matter."
"Mu Tianlan is loyal to me, I naturally know this, and I have never doubted it. It's just that … Mu Tianlan has already sat on this throne for a whole 130,000 years!" Yuan Tianjie said softly, as if he was explaining, explaining to the beauty, but also as if he was saying it to himself.
Then he said, "Zitong, don't worry, I definitely won't let Mu Tianlan fall completely, but his power and power have really reached the point where it needs to be reduced."
The Empress sighed, "Your Majesty, in these years, from what I know, Marshal Mu's power has already been reduced hundreds of times … But at those times, there has never been such overwhelming resentment. This time is really very different from the previous times. Your Majesty, please reconsider."
"Of course it's different, so the effect of the previous times was not so obvious. The sum of the previous hundreds of reductions may not be able to compare to this one time." Yuan Tianjie said lightly, his tone was extremely calm, but the meaning of his words was thought-provoking.
However, at this point, there was already nothing more to say about this topic.
But Yuan Tianjie still said, "I believe that Mu Tianlan will understand."
This sentence, which seemed like an explanation and comfort, was still meant for that beauty, or perhaps for Yuan Tianjie himself!
The Empress sighed softly and did not continue this topic. Perhaps in the past, Mu Tianlan would have understood. But this time, you attacked Mu Tianlan's most beloved and most valued troop. At the same time, they were also Mu Tianlan's real right-hand men. This time, you have completely shaken Mu Tianlan's foundation and damaged him!
Would he really understand?
Yuan Tianzhi was clearly also considering this issue. He said, "Looking at the history books, the people who were able to sit on the highest seat often didn't have the intention to sit on the throne. Those who were able to ascend the Gate of Heaven, if they weren't outstanding talents, then it was because of the situation."
"Apart from a few peerless geniuses, most of them were pushed up by their most loyal subordinates …" Yuan Tianjie said softly.
"So there are times when it is necessary to reduce the thrust?" The Empress faintly said, "Even if you know that this person is loyal and has no ulterior motives, you still have to do this!"
"This is the sorrow of being a monarch in the first place. It's a fate that keeps repeating itself." Yuan Tianjie closed his eyes, and his expression returned to being emotionless. "It can't be helped.
The Heavenly Empress no longer spoke.
"It's late. Go to sleep."
The lights went out.
The entire Imperial City fell into a state of extreme silence.
"The sky won't fall."
It was true that the sky wouldn't fall.
But what would Mu Tianlan's final reaction be? What practical actions would he take? Would he understand or not? Would he accept it?
Yu Ningyan ordered his subordinates to seize the time to interrogate and torture the criminals. So, they worked almost non-stop at night. Moreover, Yu Ningyan's subordinate, Wang Banyue, specially selected some people who had conflicts with the Dream Slayer Army, especially the low-level officers and even soldiers, to interrogate the higher-level officers of the Dream Slayer Army.
Originally, the officials and officials of the Ministry of Justice in the prison were only there to assist. They didn't have any decision-making power at all.
This kind of comfortable feeling of being weak and bullying the strong, and the other party couldn't resist at all, made these people very satisfied. Originally, these officers of the Dream Slayer Army were existences that they couldn't even look up to. But now, at this moment, they were being humiliated and abused by their own subordinates. Thinking back to their majestic appearance in the past, comparing the two, their cruel mentality was even more perverted and satisfying.
They used all kinds of methods that should be used and shouldn't be used.
But the officers of the Dream Slayer Army were suffocated to death, and humiliated to death!
The sounds of yelling and shouting in the prison were extremely fierce. All kinds of screams rose and fell, and it was like hell on earth.
It was late at night.
However, the torture and interrogation in the jail still continued.
The screams never stopped, and they were incessant.
It was already the third watch.
The prison was still brightly lit, and the oil lamps flickered. But in the dark atmosphere of the prison, it was still so gloomy and scary, and there were ghosts everywhere.
Inside the prison, there was a sentry every three steps, and a sentry every five steps. Adding on the garrison, the Ministry of Justice was really impregnable and unbreakable.
Outside the prison, there were many military camps. Weapons flashed, and there were patrols. Every time, there would be two patrols passing by. There were countless sentries in the open and in the dark!
Furthermore, in order to prepare for the worst, Yu Lie had deployed a large number of soldiers to guard the prison. There were twenty thousand soldiers in the prison, and two hundred thousand soldiers outside. They were spread out in all directions, surrounding the prison from the outside like an iron bucket!
With such tight security, it was obvious that even a mouse would not be able to enter and leave freely!
If you wanted to enter, you could! As long as you used your life in exchange, this was called — the price!
In the snowy night, the snow continued to fall.
In the Marshal's Mansion, Mu Tianlan looked dazedly at the snow outside the window. He murmured, "Awakening Dream?"
Behind him, a dark shadow appeared for a moment, and someone said in a sinister voice, "Everything has been arranged."
Mu Tianlan said, "How is it on Marshal Yu's side?"
The shadow said, "Yuaji went to the Rain Admiring Pavilion tonight to discuss with Military Advisor Wang Banyue, to formulate this and this and this and this strategy. Afterwards, she issued an order to change the guard outside the prison. Yuaji appointed the commander of this wave to be … Yuaji then went to the study room. Wang Banyue followed her in, and the two of them drank wine inside."
"The wine they drank was pine cloud wine. There were side dishes on the table, they were called. Then Wang Banyue left. Prince Yu sat in the study for a while and then went back to sleep. He first went to Third Aunt's room, but came out fifteen minutes later. He stood in the snow, and then went to the garden to relieve himself. Then he went to Third Aunt's room. After passing through two corridors, Prince Yu went in and did not come out."
"According to the situation of Marshal Yu's residence, half a month ago, there was nothing unusual in third concubine's room. There shouldn't be any secret passages or doors. Therefore, Marshal Yu has been sleeping in third concubine's room until now. There was the sound of a man and a woman making love in the room. The person who made the sound of a man panting was confirmed to be Prince Yu himself. "
If Yu Jian heard these words, she would first be surprised, then ashamed, but then she would only feel her hair stand on end. His every move, what he said, what he did, what he said, what he did, what he said, what he did, what he did, what he did, what he did, what he ate, what he drank, the details of his life, etc., were all strictly recorded by Mu Tianlan!
Even the details of relieving himself, making love with a woman, etc., were all recorded. It was sent to the ears of his greatest enemy.
"Prince Yu urinated. He did not go to the toilet, and did not let anyone serve him. He just sat under a tree?" Mu Tianlan frowned and said, "It seems that he is in a hurry."
The shadow person smiled and said, "Yes, he is in a hurry."
"Prince Yu should be asleep now." Mu Tianlan smiled slightly.
"Yes, he is very tired. Especially after that incident, he is recovering from serious injuries. He does not know how to control himself." The shadow person gave an understanding smile.
"It seems that Prince Yu will have a good dream tonight. If he is tired, he naturally needs a good rest." Mu Tianlan said lightly.
"Yes, the key is whether Marshal Mu is willing to let him have this good dream until it is finished." The shadow person grinned.
"It is easiest to wake up from a good dream. The reason is clear." Mu Tianlan did not turn around and said in a low voice, "Tonight is the time to wake up from the dream. It is the time to distinguish between the clear and the turbid."
"Yes." The person in the shadow answered respectfully.
Mu Tianlan stood still for a long time. When the snow on the ground outside the window had reached three inches, he said softly, "Go."
"Yes!"
The shadow suddenly flashed and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Mu Tianlan paced a few steps in the study and sat down in the armchair. The lines on his face moved, and a cold smile appeared.
"Dream Awakening … You cut my dream, so I will awaken your dream … It is time for 500,000 soldiers to wake up from their dream, and you, Prince Yu, should wake up from your dream."
Although the night was deep, the torture in the prison was still in full swing. Outside the prison, in the hazy snow that was still falling, seven or eight white shadows began to flicker gradually.
The number of flashing white shadows was increasing, and they sneaked directly toward the military camp in the south.
They were like snowflakes rolled up by the wind.
These white shadows moved extremely fast. Often in a flash, they had already crossed a distance of a thousand feet in the blink of an eye.
At the outermost periphery were the guards of the military camp and the patrol team.
A white shadow floated over in the snow as if it was invisible. With a stretch of his hand, he brought out more than a dozen residual shadows. At the same time, the two patrol teams that took over were covered by his mouth and nose at the same time, and then they fell to the ground silently.
Every person who could serve as a guard here was not an ordinary warrior. However, under the hands of these people, they had been put to the ground one after another without even making a sound.
After falling down, he was carefully helped to a dark corner and leaned against the wall.
They were like sleepers who neglected their duties.
