Chapter 499

There is indeed a reason why Prince Lian, the imperial envoy of the Dayan Empire, came in such a hurry, that is, to find a way to create an established fact in a short period of time, to cook raw rice and cooked rice.

As he thought about it, once King Wu completed a complete compromise, then even if the news of Shen Lang's victory came, there would be no storm.

Once he led the imperial army into the palace of Wu and captured Wu Zhi, then the majesty of the king of Wu would be completely abolished, and he would no longer be able to establish the majesty of the king, whether in the people of Wu or in the army. Prince Lian took the risk.

"Get in, get in, get in!"

Under the leadership of Prince Lian, thousands of warriors from the Great Yan Empire rushed in and rushed directly into the palace.

Sure enough, there was no resistance along the way. This is the imperial consignment, and without the will of King Wu, who would dare to resist?

In this way, the 3,000 imperial envoy warriors were aggressive, passed through the heavy palace bans, and came to the front of the Da Chong Hall.

Da Chong Hall is the central hall of King Wu's Palace, where every court meeting is held. At this time, Prince Lian of the Empire had already received a secret report. King Wu was in it, and Wu Zhi was also in it.

The Da Chong Hall has a huge square with 90 steps, and there are special palace walls and gates outside.

"Break the door." Prince Lian shouted.

Immediately, two giant-like imperial warriors stepped forward and broke through the palace gate abruptly, and three thousand Great Yan Empire warriors rushed in like a tide.

However, after entering, everyone was stunned. A full 10,000 Wu State Guards stood on the square, lined up neatly.

Thousands of warriors in front were erecting a huge shield wall, and thousands of guards at the back aimed their bows and arrows at the warriors of the Great Flame Empire who rushed in.

Prince Lian's expression changed drastically, he walked over and said in a low voice, "King Wu, what are you doing? Are you fighting against the center of the empire? Are you fighting against His Majesty the Emperor? For a mere Wu Zhi, Are you going to resist arrest by force?"

Wu Wanghan said: "Prince Lian, do you think I'm going to use force to resist arrest? Hahahaha..."

Prince Lian of the Empire said coldly: "Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi, are you here? Is it because of you alone, that King Wu will be imprisoned in a place of disloyalty and filial piety? How did you become a loyal minister?"

The meaning is very clear, he wants Wu Zhi to surrender himself, or commit suicide in public, so as to prevent King Wu from directly confronting the empire.

King Wu said slowly: "Prince Lian, you are a guest, I welcome you very much, but you should not interfere too much in the internal affairs of my Wu country. And why should the army of your Dayan Empire enter my palace? All Guards, get ready!"

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Several arrows shot directly into the sky and exploded.

Then, army after army flooded in like a tide, and surrounded the imperial envoys of the Great Yan Empire from the inside out.

"Prince Lian, please put down your weapons immediately and capture them without hesitation, or they will kill you." King Wu said sharply.

Prince Lian of the Great Yan Empire trembled and said, "King Wu, you, are you trying to rebel?"

King Wu nodded and said: "That's right, His Majesty Shen Lang is right, no longer burst out in silence, just die in silence."

Prince Lian's face changed drastically and said, "You know?"

King Wu sneered: "Paper can't contain fire. In the decisive battle of Tianyue City, His Majesty Shen Lang won a great victory, and the blood and soul army of Tianya Haige was completely destroyed."

Prince Lian said: "But everyone knows that Shen Lang's victory is only a flash in the pan, and his strength is nothing compared to the Great Yan Empire. Do you really want to be so dazed, and follow him to self-destruction?"

King Wu nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, there's nothing wrong with dying in a rage."

Then, King Wu shouted: "All the troops of the Great Yan Empire, put down their weapons and capture them, otherwise they will be shot and killed."

"five four three two one……"

"Prepare, kill!" King Wu yelled.

"Stop!" Imperial Prince Lian raised his hands and shouted: "Stop, all the imperial guards, all put down their weapons, put down their weapons!"

Following the order of Prince Lian of the Empire, the three thousand Imperial Guard warriors all laid down all their weapons.

"Squat down!"

King Wu ordered.

Three thousand imperial guards from the Great Yan Empire squatted on the ground, and after a while, they were all arrested.

Prince Lian said: "King Wu, you have already played your prestige, and you can negotiate next."

Wu Wang glanced lightly and said, "Negotiation, sorry, there is no negotiation."

Then, King Wu said loudly: "All the Guards are dispatched to the cabinet to suppress the rebellion."

Following the order of King Wu, more than 10,000 imperial guards marched out of the palace and headed towards the cabinet.

Regardless of whether it is Wu State or Yue State, the Shangshutai and the cabinet are all located in the palace, after all, it is convenient to work in this way.

But last year, Zhang Danfeng led the entire cabinet to move out of the palace and moved to the west palace, Luyuan.

This also caused an uproar at the time, representing that the cabinet had separated from King Wu and formed its own system.

And since then, the core of Wu's internal affairs has been in Luyuan, not the palace.

The Luyuan Palace is about 19 miles away from the palace, and the wide Suzaku Avenue in the middle runs through the two core areas connecting the palace.

At this time, King Wu led a troop of more than 10,000 imperial guards, heading towards Luyuan in a mighty manner.

In an instant, everyone was stunned.

Countless people trembled, Your Majesty, what are you doing?

Is this going to start a war directly in the royal city?

All the readers are running to tell each other, there is a feeling of heaven changing. And the things that ordinary people are terrified of, they have a sense of excitement. Ordinary people just like to watch the fun.

But there is still a group of people who are full of enthusiasm, this is the army of Wu State.

In the past two or three years, the King of Wu has been severely suppressed, as has the army of Wu State.

In the beginning, the Dayan Empire passed through Wu State in the name of exterminating Shen Lang, but it took more than a year, and more than hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in Wu State, and they did not leave until more than half a year ago.

During this period of time, this group of civilians continued to put their hands into the army. The status of civilians was getting higher and higher, and the status of military commanders was getting lower and lower. Now, most of the logistics of Wu's army have been taken away by the cabinet. The Privy Council also holds the power to promote generals and the power to mobilize the army, but the distribution of military salaries and rations is all handed over to the Ministry of War, which is completely within the cabinet's system.

Do you still remember when the Dayan Empire lent a large amount of military ration to Wu State? It was the time King Wu planned to use it to fight the Four Kingdoms War. From that time on, the Dayan Empire began to meddle in the logistics of the Wu army.

Once a civil official is in power, he will frantically suppress military generals. Just like in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, military generals became the servants of civil officials. Fourth-rank military generals must bow and salute in front of seventh-rank civil officials.

And this time, in order to win Wu Zhi, how many lieutenant generals did the cabinet target? In this major case, more than 100 generals were arrested. Although they were all middle and low-level generals, they had already caused the Wu army to fall into severe anxiety.

At this time, the King of Wu charged with murderous vigour to the cabinet with the Imperial Guard, and countless warriors joined in on the way.

"See Your Majesty at the end."

"The Admiral asked to join the battle."

One army after another joined, and by the time they were halfway there, the army behind King Wu had already exceeded 30,000.

Prince Lian of the Great Yan Empire chased after him on horseback, caught up with King Wu, and said in a low voice: "King Wu, think about the consequences, think about the hundreds of years of your Wu family's family business?"

Wu Wang said nothing.

Prince Lian said: "How about this? Wu Zhi is no longer arrested, and Wang Qingan changed his confession. This time the merger of land and murder has nothing to do with Lord Wu Zhi."

King Wu still didn't say a word, and rushed to the cabinet with murderous pain.

Prince Lian trembled and said: "King Wu, Dali Si Qing stepped down, beheaded to show the public, the cabinet publicly admitted the mistake, and the privy envoy Wu Zhi is innocent."

Wu Wang still did not reply.

Soon, the army behind King Wu swelled to 50,000 and surrounded Luyuan, where the cabinet was located.

"Prepare!" Wu Zhi shouted.

Prince Lian said: "King Wu, the prime minister of the cabinet, Zhang Danfeng, will step down. It is up to you to designate an official to be the new prime minister. He must first be loyal to the state of Wu."

King Wu was stunned, but did not expect that the Great Yan Empire would be willing to make these compromises.

"Prince Lian, doesn't the Dayan Empire wish that the King of Chu and I would openly fight against the Dayan Empire, and then the empire directly dispatched a million troops to destroy the three kingdoms of Wu, Yue, and Chu and directly become the province of the Dayan Empire?" King Wu sneered. .

Prince Lian of the Empire said: "Of course it's best if things don't develop to this point. It can be solved by political means, and try not to use military affairs."

King Wu said: "The Great Yan Empire is reluctant to use the secret army that is detached from the power, but the secret army of the Great Yan Empire has not been fully formed?"

Prince Lian of the Empire sneered: "King Wu, don't speculate too much, I have already given the final ground line, Zhang Danfeng will step down, and the cabinet will be rectified. King Wu, this cabinet is the cabinet of the State of Wu, but it is also subordinate to the cabinet of the Dayan Empire. There are many officials in it who were dispatched by the Yanjing cabinet, and once you attack, there is no turning back."

Wu Wang said: "I have never wanted to look back."

"Fight!" Then followed the order of King Wu.

Tens of thousands of troops generally flooded into the deer garden.

After a while, there were bursts of ghosts and wolves inside.

The cabinet has its own soldiers, but only a few thousand. And all along, the King of Wu has endured humiliation and burdens, and the cabinet feels that it is protected by the Great Yan Empire, so it is naturally high and carefree.

Unexpectedly, the King of Wu was so decisive that he directly dispatched a large army to take over the cabinet.

In less than an hour, the battle inside was over.

The entire cabinet officials and soldiers, a whole number of several thousand people, at this time most of them turned into corpses.

In this Luyuan palace, there is blood everywhere, and there are corpses everywhere.

Moments later, hundreds of senior cabinet officials were all arrested.

"Your Majesty, are you going to Dali Temple Prison or Heishuitai Prison?" Wu You asked.

King Wu shook his head and said, "No need, let's go directly to the execution ground."

As soon as these words came out, hundreds of cabinet officials trembled and couldn't believe their ears at all. Is King Wu crazy? This must be crazy.

………………

In a few hours!

The square in front of King Wu's Palace was crowded with people, and more than 100,000 people came to watch.

It was a drastic change. The king actually took the cabinet in one pot. Suddenly, the people of Wu Kingdom were in a complicated mood.

The people of Yue Kingdom are almost on Shen Lang's side, and the people of Wu Kingdom are more or less towards Jiang Li, because he is too famous and his reputation is too good.

But at the same time, the people of Wu State did not have much resistance to the Dayan Empire. Because of the border, the Dayan Empire penetrated the Wu State too much. The entire civil service group grasped the public opinion and guided Wu Guoxin to the Dayan Empire.

But for King Wu, the people of Wu State are not completely emotionless, after all, they have been loyal to them for hundreds of years.

Zhang Danfeng, the Prime Minister of Wu's cabinet, has been stunned until now. Is this young King Wu so crazy? Did it suddenly go to a dead end? Without hesitation?

It is an unspoken rule of all countries in the world that you can't punish a doctor, so although Zhang Danfeng has always been against King Wu, he never thought that his life would be in danger.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must not be carried away by the blood, the century-old foundation of the Wu Kingdom cannot be destroyed in your hands." Zhang Danfeng kowtowed to King Wu desperately: "My Majesty, everything the old minister has done. , is also for the Wu Kingdom, for the safety of the Wu royal family."

King Wu said lightly: "Don't say anything, don't say anything."

"kill!"

The young King Wu's killing cry was not heroic at all, and seemed to be full of fatigue.

"Shh, shh, shh, shh..."

Hundreds of cabinet officials were beheaded.

More than 100,000 people suddenly felt horrified. These high-ranking bigwigs were suddenly killed?

"kill!"

Once again, the knife fell, and more than a hundred people fell to the ground.

All of a sudden, these officials in Wu's cabinet were so frightened that they poured out their feces and urine, and they desperately kowtowed and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this minister wants to report and expose, and this minister wants to report and expose."

Dali Siqing walked out on his knees and shouted, "Wang Qingan took mulberry fields and buried Lin Xiucai's entire family alive. This monstrous case is fake and fake. The murderer is not Wang Qingan at all, and it has nothing to do with Uncle Wu Zhi. Everything is done by the Embroidery Division."

The Embroidery Division, headed by the Wu State cabinet, was an intelligence agency that had just been established for a year and a half, and was used to compete with Heishuitai.

"From the burial of Lin Xiucai's entire clan to the list of fields, it was all done by the Embroidery Division, and they were directly ordered by Prime Minister Zhang Danfeng."

"Everything we do is to slander the privy envoy Wu Zhi Wang Shu, everything is done by the prime minister Zhang Danfeng."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was completely in an uproar, and their faces turned pale.

Very few people know this secret. Dali Siqing is the key figure in this major case, so naturally he knows it clearly.

King Wu waved his hand, and the Dali Temple minister was taken away from the execution ground, as if he didn't need to die?

Immediately, more and more officials knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the minister must also report and expose, and the minister must also report and expose."

The entire execution ground is like a dance of demons. They are loyal to the Great Yan Empire, but now they can't even save their lives, what else do they care?

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Another army entered the execution ground and escorted hundreds of people in, all of whom were members of the Prime Minister Zhang Danfeng's clan.

Immediately afterwards, more and more people were brought into the execution ground, and more and more, all the family members of civil servants of the fourth rank and above were brought to the execution ground.

Thousands of people knelt down neatly.

"Your Majesty, I want to report, I want to report..."

However, the King of Wu still turned a deaf ear and gave an order.

"kill!"

"Brush, brush, brush..."

The knife fell from the hand, and hundreds of executioners kept waving the knife.

Heads fell to the ground in rows.

Everyone in the audience was horrified and shuddered. Is His Majesty King Wu crazy? Is this to kill all the civil servants? So who will manage the internal affairs?

"Your Majesty, I want to resolutely expose that all this is a conspiracy of the Great Yan Empire."

"It was the Great Yan Empire who instructed us to make unjust cases, and it was the people from the Heishuitai of the Great Yan Empire who guided us to do these unjust cases."

"It was the Great Yan Empire who instructed us to carry out land annexation. The Great Yan Empire bought the civil servants and generals of our Wu State."

"Wang Qing'an was threatened and bought by the Great Yan Empire. As long as he bites Lord Wu Zhi, his sons can directly become Jinshi of the Great Yan Empire, otherwise the whole family will die."

The next step is the real dance of demons. In order to survive, these people desperately report and expose the conspiracy. The conspiracy is as big as it is, and a small part is true, but most of it is speculation.

This group of people is actually very smart. Of course they know what King Wu wants, so they don't hesitate to exchange their last madness for their own lives.

Cabinet Prime Minister Zhang Danfeng trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

He is not like Zhu Hongzhu, so if he wants to survive, to save the lives of the whole family, he also wants to report and expose. Although the Great Yan Empire will soon call, and anyone who reports and exposes the Empire will die today, at least they don't have to die now.

But he didn't dare, because his most outstanding sons were all in Yanjing, and even if he reported and exposed the Great Yan Empire, he would surely die. King Wu needed a head of sufficient weight to express the break with the Great Yan Empire.

Zhang Danfeng couldn't help but look at King Wu, trembling in his heart: "Your Majesty King Wu, you are awesome, you are indeed a young man, you are really cruel..."

"Shh!"

There was another wave of swords and swords, and row after row of cabinet ministers were beheaded.

Finally, it was the turn of the cabinet prime minister Zhang Danfeng and the whole family. He thought that King Wu would say something, but he didn't.

Hand down for a while.

The executioner's ghost-headed knife slashed down, and the Prime Minister Zhang Danfeng, along with his entire clan, was beheaded cleanly.

And Prince Lian, the imperial envoy of the Great Yan Empire, watched this scene, and after being infinitely shocked, he sneered.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"King Wu, is it easy to kill?"

King Wu didn't answer, but said lightly: "From today onwards, the State of Wu will no longer obey any will of the Great Yan Empire. The State of Wu will no longer recognize the Great Yan Dynasty as the Eastern Orthodox!"

"Dagan Emperor Shen Lang's decisive battle in Tianyue City has been completely won, defeating 500,000 people with less than 20,000 people, and destroying the entire army of 20,000 blood souls in Tianya Haige."

"Wu You listens to the seal!"

Suddenly, Wu You from Heishuitai stepped forward and knelt down.

"The widow is accepted as your sister, canonized as your princess Anyou, please send the envoy to the city of Angry Tide instead of the widow, go and ask the emperor Shen Lang, the emperor of Dagan, I, Wu Qi, want to be loyal to the Dagan dynasty, and I want to serve him. Lord, will he accept it?"

As soon as these words came out, hundreds of thousands of people in the audience were in an uproar.

so suddenly?

The state of Wu turned out of the Dayan Dynasty and wanted to serve the Dayan Dynasty of Shen Lang? But where is the Dagan Dynasty?

Wu You knelt down and kowtowed, "The minister and sister follow the order."

Without any delay, Wu You took thousands of warriors to the south to send envoys to Raging Tide City.

………………

Inside the Palace of the King of Chu!

The new king of Chu and the queen mother are playing a game.

From the court situation, the king of Chu is better than the king of Wu, because he has a much stronger grasp of the state affairs. Even the reorganized cabinet did not completely obey the name of the prime minister, and there were still many civil servants loyal to the king of Chu.

After all, the state of Chu did not border the Dayan Empire, and the two generations of Chu kings had great prestige in the hearts of their officials.

However, the situation of the King of Chu was more dangerous than that of the King of Wu, because he was better and more feared by Yanjing.

In Wu State, after the cabinet forces headed by Zhang Danfeng seized the power of the internal power, they began to encroach on the military power, and they did not hesitate to set off a major case to oust the privy envoy Wu Zhi from power.

In the Chu country, the power of the Dayan Empire directly attacked the king of Chu, and the crime was very simple.

This is of course a false accusation, but it is not entirely out of nothing. Because many people saw that a concubine of the old King of Chu ran out of the palace of the new King of Chu in a disheveled dress, and hanged himself not long after.

It was a plan of death again. Buddha Mountain had placed more than one woman in the palace of the King of Chu, and they detonated one by one at the critical moment.

Concubine Yan killed the old king of Chu, and this concubine Lian poured a basin of dirty water on the head of the new king of Chu.

Next, the first wife of the old King of Chu, the Empress Dowager of Chu, was under tremendous pressure. Because he is the biological mother of the King of Xinchu, as long as he accuses the King of Xinchu of fouling his mother and concubine, it will never be cleared up again.

The Queen Mother of Chu State once surrendered to Shen Lang and suffered countless humiliations, so some people think that she will definitely compromise.

As a result, she held on. For this reason, his clan was almost dead, and she herself was not long in death. Futushan and Ying Wuming used death to force him to compromise, forcing her to admit the crime of the King of Xinchu for fouling his concubine.

Either publicly accuse the King of Chu, or die!

At this time, the mother and son are playing chess.

"Empress mother, my son is going to ask His Majesty Shen Lang, he should be able to cure you." The king of Chu was trembling, and the last chess piece was reluctant to fall for a long time, because once it fell, the chess game was over.

The Queen Mother Chu shook her head and said, "No need, Ning Yuanxian once knelt down and compromised. But now he stood up and paid almost the price of his life. Then I want to stand up too, my result is very good, very good... …”

At this time, the Empress Dowager Chu looked even younger, and she was completely unmatched for her age.

"I once suffered humiliation, surrendered to Shen Lang, and was paraded in the streets. I should have committed suicide at that time, but I couldn't do it myself."

"Now that I'm dead, in order to protect my son, I'd rather die than give in. I should be able to restore a little reputation."

King Xin Chu couldn't control it any longer, he knelt on the ground and cried.

"My son, let's get down." Empress Dowager Chu trembled, "Mother really can't hold it anymore."

Her face became more and more coquettish, and the light of her eyes became more and more strange.

"Roar, roar..." King Xin Chu roared like a beast.

"The Great Yan Empire, the Buddha Mountain, Ying Guang, Ying Wuming..." He kept reciting these terms in his mouth.

Hatred, bitter hatred.

You killed your father, and now you have killed your mother by dastardly means.

Finally, the king of Chu raised his head and put the last piece on the chessboard, the game was over and he won.

Empress Dowager Chu said: "My son, go out. The next scene will be very ugly and scary."

The Chu Dynasty kowtowed desperately with the queen mother, and said directly with blood: "The mother, the son swears that he will definitely take revenge for the father and the king, and he will definitely take revenge for the mother."

"Okay, okay..." The queen mother waved: "Let's go, my time is up."

The King of Chu withdrew and closed the door.

Empress Dowager Chu looked in the mirror, she became more and more coquettish, younger and more beautiful.

In the end, it was almost impossible to look directly at her, her eyes were already as gorgeous as fire.

next moment!

Her gorgeous body split inch by inch, and then countless bugs poured out of her body.

Boundless pain, even death, has to endure this hellish torment.

Empress Dowager Chu didn't want to cry out, but she couldn't help it.

"Ah...ah...ah..."

The screams she made became more and more shrill and terrifying.

"boom……"

Her body exploded violently, and she died completely.

at the same time.

"Boom boom boom..."

In the entire palace, fires were burning.

The Empress Dowager Chu's body, as well as the countless terrifying poisonous insects gushing out of her body, were all burned to charcoal.

The King of Chu looked at the raging fire outside, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his entire expression became icy cold.

Sad, distraught? Come to your heart's content, like a landslide and a tsunami.

But, get there as soon as possible.

"The Great Yan Empire, Yingguang, Ying Wuming, Buddha Mountain..." He kept saying.

At this time, Li Xuanqi, the prince's grandfather, walked in, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it's over."

The King of Chu said, "Is it finished?"

Li Xuanqi said, "It's over."

The King of Chu opened his arms, and immediately several eunuchs came forward to put on a new crown and a new royal robe for him.

The King of Chu walked out slowly and pushed open the palace gate.

A bloody smell.

On the ground outside, there are densely packed corpses, including civilians, military generals, and even his two younger brothers, as well as several mothers and concubines of the former King of Chu, summed up in one term, that is rebellion.

Tens of thousands of rebels were killed by the king of Chu, and the people who infiltrated the kingdom of Chu by the Great Yan Empire were almost uprooted.

The corpses were all over the field, and the blood flowed into rivers.

The tens of thousands of troops were neat and drenched in blood, standing on the square. When they saw the King of Chu walking out of the palace gate, they immediately knelt down neatly.

"See Your Majesty, See Your Majesty!"

Before the King of Chu came to the gate of the palace, he looked at a banner in front of him. This was the banner of the Dayan Dynasty, flying high above.

The King of Chu drew his sword and cut it off suddenly.

The flag of the Great Yan Dynasty fell.

"All officers and men, all ministers and workers, from today onwards, our country of Chu has rebelled!"

"Our country of Chu is no longer loyal to the Dayan Dynasty!"

"My country of Chu is willing to enshrine the Dagan Dynasty as the orthodox of the East!"

Then, the Chu Dynasty knelt down on Dongfang, kowtowed and said, "My minister sees His Majesty Shen Lang, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
