Wu Yu and Wu Mei were sent back to the Wu Manor by Tang Yin, and those Wu Family people who were punished by Liang Xing became innocent once again due to his return. It could be said that Wu Family was reverted from top to bottom, but Ziyang Haochun did not have that kind of luck. At this time, Ziyang Haochun could also tell that Liang Xing was going to kill him, and now, Tang Yin did not plan to let him go either. There was no medicine for regret in the world, so it was already too late for Ziyang Haochun to regret.
When Tang Yin returned to his own residence, he immediately made Qiu Zhen and the others recount in detail what happened in the period of time he left. Naturally, Qiu Zhen and the others did not dare to hide anything, and explained everything that had happened in detail to Tang Yin.
When Qiu Zhen and the others finished speaking, everyone was extremely nervous. They looked at Tang Yin eagerly, wanting to see his reaction. Tang Yin's expression did not change, which was that there was neither joy nor anger on his face. One could not tell from his expression whether he was agreeing or opposed to Qiu Zhen and the others' actions.
As he sat on the mat, Tang Yin muttered to himself for a moment, then raised his head and said: "I give way!"
"This lowly general is here!" Shangguan Yuan was startled, he anxiously stood up, walked to Tang Yin and bowed.
Tang Yin said: "Go outside the city, bring ten thousand Pingyuan Army to the city, and head to Liang Xing's residence. No matter what method you use, in a word, bring Liang Qi and Bai Yong back to me, without mistake!"
"This lowly general obeys your command!" Shangguan Yuan made way for him and walked out with big strides.
Tang Yin said again: "Qiu Zhen!"
"Your subordinate is here!" After Qiu Zhen heard this, he also hurriedly stepped forward.
Tang Yin said in a serious tone: "Give the order to Pingyuan Army, send the troops to continue guarding the city, and tell Xiao Muqing, if he dares to leave the palace without my permission, I want his head."
"Yes!" "My Lord!" Qiu Zhen trembled in fear when he heard this. He said that Tang Yin's words were meant to be passed to Xiao Muqing, but in reality, he was saying them for's ears. After all, the one who had sent the order for Pingyuan Army to leave the palace was him. At this time, Qiu Zhen also could not see through Tang Yin's true intentions, and did not dare to stay in the great hall for long.
"Wait." Tang Yin continued: "At the same time, evacuate all of the Sanshui Army soldiers and make them retreat back to the army camp without a mistake."
"Yes sir!"
Tang Yin ordered continuously, quickly calming down the chaotic Yan City. After explaining everything, Tang Yin asked everyone: "There is a rumor saying that Liang Xing claims that his majesty has messed up the harem for the past few days, is that true?"
Hearing that, all the generals laughed, Zong Yuan bowed and said: "That is a rumor that we secretly made, the goal is to disgrace Liang Xing's reputation. In truth, during the time that Liang Xing has been known as the King, he has been busy to the point of being unable to make ends meet, so how would he have the time to mess around in the harem?! "
"Ha ha!" Tang Yin chuckled, nodded, and laughed: "Liang Xing is the king, is it twenty days?"
"Milord, let's say twenty days today!"
Tang Yin squinted his eyes and said faintly: "It looks like he can only be a ruler for these twenty days!"
Everyone looked at each other, hesitating to speak. Zhang Zhe frowned: "I'm afraid that Master will not be able to choose a new Monarch after agreeing with Liang Xing. This is not good for adults! "
"Oh? "Why would it be detrimental to me?"
"Master, the Minister of Imperial Court is now Liang Xing's direct descendant and confidant. If they are allowed to elect a new ruler, they will definitely choose Liang Xing …"
Without waiting for Zhang Zhe to finish speaking, Tang Yin laughed out loud, and said: "Don't forget, we have troops in our hands, if there are generals, what do Liang Xing and the ministers have? When they choose again, I want to see if they still have the guts to choose Liang Xing after putting their swords on their necks! "
Everyone was shocked as they spoke in unison, "Is sire prepared to use such a forceful method to coerce the Minister?"
"Ha ha!" Tang Yin laughed, it was a sinister and cold laugh, he stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, thinking for a moment, he then said to Zong Yuan slowly: "Zong Yuan, prepare thirty big oil pots for me first, in a month, maybe they can be used for you!"
Zong Yuan's heart tensed up, then he laughed, and nodded his head: "Don't worry, Master, leave this to me."
Tang Yin clasped his hands behind his back and smiled to himself, "Fried people, this should be very interesting."
Everyone in the hall started to sweat profusely, they did not know if Tang Yin was joking or if he was actually planning to do so.
During this period of time where Liang Xing proclaimed himself as the king, the four gates of Yan City were all in a semi-closed state and the entire city had a curfew at night when he returned, but once Tang Yin returned, everything returned to normal again. Sanshui Army was immediately evacuated from the Yan City, returned to the barracks, Pingyuan Army once again garrisoned in the palace and was in charge of the security of the Yan City.
However, there were some things that could not be restored. At the very least, those ministers who had been killed could not be resurrected.
Ever since Tang Yin came back, the families of the ministers that were killed immediately went to Tang Yin one after another, begging him to uphold justice for them. Tang Yin was extremely courteous to the families of the ministers. Even if they did not personally come out to meet, they would make their trusted aides and strategists to treat them well and record down all the things they said so that they could be evidence against Liang Xing and the others in the future.
There was another thing that made Tang Yin both happy and worried, and that was Wu Yu.
Even when he was under Zhong Tian's house arrest back then, he had not suffered so much. Although Tang Yin had given him justice and returned home safe and sound, the humiliation, anger and fear that he had suffered for the past few days caused this old man to feel sick to his stomach and he was unable to get up.
Although she barely managed to keep Wu Yu's life, his body was no longer as healthy as it was before. She rarely got out of bed during the entire day, and even when she got out of bed, she would need someone to support him in order to walk. Wu Yu's body was so weak, and Wu Mei had to cry all day, which worried Tang Yin, but she could no longer be an official in the imperial court. In the future, when Tang Yin took control of the overall situation of the Feng Country, it would naturally make it possible for Wu Yu to return back to her hometown, and remove the problem, which made Tang Yin happy.
From the bottom of his heart, Tang Yin also felt that it was inappropriate for Wu Yu to become the Right Prime Minister. In his heart, there was already a good candidate for the position of Right Prime Minister.
As the days passed, the edict of the Son of Heaven was still missing. Qiu Zhen and the others became more and more nervous.
If they really did not see the Son of Heaven's edict in one month, then their side would have to follow Tang Yin's plan and use force to force the ministers to choose Tang Yin. Of course, this would also cause Tang Yin's reputation to decline greatly, and was the best way out.
Everyone was worried, but Tang Yin seemed to have nothing to do, he ate and slept soundly every day, and when he was free, he would stay in the residence to practice his fist arts or go out for a walk, as though he was not worried about this at all. What everyone saw was only on the surface. In fact, Tang Yin had already sent a message to Shang Jing's Jiang Lou with his pigeon, asking him to contact Yin Rou and request the Son of Heaven to send the order to seal the Emperor.
Jiang Lou's ability was average, but Tang Yin believed that Yin Rou would definitely do her best to help him, and as for the Son of Heaven Yin Zhun, she should agree with her decision to become the Feng King.
That night, after eating dinner, Tang Yin was walking in the small courtyard in front of his bedroom. A guard ran in from outside and cupped his hands in salute towards Tang Yin: "Master, General Liang Qi requests an audience!"
Ever since Liang Qi had fainted, Liang Qi had been imprisoned inside the Liang Mansion, and every day, someone specially delivered good food and dishes to him. However, he didn't dare to go out, and when Tang Yin returned to the Yan City, he told Shangguan Yuan to go to the Liang Mansion and bring out. At the beginning, Liang Xing was still not willing to hand it over, but Shangguan Yuan had ordered him to surround the Liang Mansion, and at the same time, bring his subordinates to forcefully barge into the residence.
At that time, Liang Qi was already so thin that he could not even stand, and was carried out by the servants of the Liang Household. Since he was placed under house arrest, he had not eaten a few mouthfuls of food, nor had he cultivated in the spirit martial arts.
After being sent back to the Sanshui Army camp to recuperate for a few days, Liang Qi finally managed to slowly recover. Until today, he could only get down from the ground and walk, but the first thing he did was to enter the city to see Tang Yin.
Liang Qi's head was much clearer than Liang Xing's. He was more clear about the strength of the Tianyuan Army and the cohesiveness of the warriors. With such a powerful and nearly terrifying army in Tang Yin's hands, if anyone else wanted to compete for the throne, that was the same as asking for death. However, Liang Xing took advantage of Tang Yin's absence to claim the throne.
When Liang Qi saw Tang Yin, without waiting for him to speak, he first kneeled to the ground with a thump, with tears in his eyes.
Tang Yin looked at Liang Qi carefully, and almost did not recognize him anymore. Liang Qi was so skinny that only skin and bones remained, and the sockets of his eyes were deeply sunken in, both of them bloodshot. A layer of blisters had formed on his lips, and his sickly appearance made it seem like he could be blown down by the wind.
It seems that Liang Qi had lived quite a life since he was crowned king! Tang Yin's heart was moved. He stepped forward and supported Liang Qi up with his hands and said: "General Liang Qi, what are you doing? Liang Xing is the King, what crime do you have? "
"If it wasn't for this general being careless …" Liang Qi was halfway through his words, and was unable to continue. If he had been a little more cautious at that time, how would he have brought about such a disaster? Not only did he almost harm Sanshui Army, he had also harmed his own father.
