Chapter 98 The world has changed
A shocking change occurred overnight in the Feng Kingdom. The left prime minister Ding Rui killed the king and seized the throne, and then began to search and kill the Chen royal family all over the city.
For a time, anyone who had been associated with the royal family of the Feng Kingdom was killed mercilessly.
Then, Ding Ze led his army back to the capital, and with his return to the capital, the bloody killings really kicked off at this time.
In order to completely consolidate his position, Ding Rui began to kill a group of old Feng Kingdom ministers. Anyone who opposed him would not ask or investigate, and he would immediately suffer a disaster of extermination!
Moreover, those who were killed by the whole family often implicate a lot of people. The streets are full of large numbers of soldiers who are searching for military forces. If a "suspect" is found in someone's home, blood will surely flow into a river and countless people will be killed unjustly.
After a few days, there was a panic in Fengzhou City. In broad daylight, there was no group of people on the streets. Every door and window were closed, and everyone was in danger...
Fengguo is the northern part of Pingzhou.
Not long ago, Lu Chen had just received a letter from the capital.
At this time, in the county government's conference hall, he sat in the center, and on both sides were his civil and military officials at all levels.
These people were all suddenly summoned by Lu Chen not long after they arrived at the county government.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for him to speak, Lu Chen sighed lightly and said slowly: "I am summoning you here urgently today because something shocking happened."
What a shocking event? When everyone heard this, they all showed a look of surprise and suspicion. Seeing this, Lu Chen did not say much, but picked up a silk book from the table.
"The King's Hand Order?" Seeing this, an official asked in surprise. Because this silk book was written in white in the middle, the silk satin around it was embroidered with black and yellow patterns, which was the type used for the Feng King's edict!
Lu Chen glanced at the spoken official, but did not explain. Instead, he threw the silk book on the ground and said coldly:
"You guys can see it for yourself!"
Seeing that he threw the Feng King's edict on the ground at will, everyone grinned secretly. At the same time, Xiao Wang, who was located near the silk book, also bent down and picked it up, and opened it and took a closer look.
He was the first to watch it, but after watching it, he stood there suddenly and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
At this time, the others were also quite curious and surrounded them, but after reading the contents of the silk book, no one of them was much better than Xiao Wang...
This letter was written by Ding Rui himself.
After killing the king and usurping the throne, he first killed all the Chen royal family within a few days, and eliminated the dissidents in the court one after another!
After firmly sitting on the throne, Ding Rui even tampered with the name of Dafeng Kingdom and called himself the King of Jin, attempting to change the dynasty and cede the two counties of Hedong and Longshan to Zhang Kingdom with a big pen.
The territory of Fengguo, seven counties and sixty-one counties, every inch of land was obtained by spreading the blood of countless soldiers. However, in order to usurp the throne, Ding Rui colluded with Zhangguo to cooperate with him on the condition of cede the land. What he did was angered by both man and god.
Next, Ding Rui began to issue kingly orders to the heads of Feng Kingdom in the name of King Jin. Anyone who did not obey the orders would be besieged by his son Ding Ze and suppressed by force.
Pingyang County, a remote area, was the last stop. When Lu Chen received this letter, the other four counties in Fengguo except for the two ceded counties and Pingyang County, all of the other four counties had been owned by Ding Rui, and the military flags on the cities of each county were replaced by the black wind flag to the yellow Jin flag.
The content of this letter is clear at a glance. First, I told Lu Chen that now Chen Guang is dead, the royal family is destroyed, and Feng Kingdom no longer exists! Then I asked Lu Chen in a threatening tone whether he would surrender to him. If he bowed down and respected Ding Rui as the king, there would be another reward! If he dared to resist stubbornly, the army would not be left behind! Finally, I told Lu Chen that his envoy would arrive in Pingzhou soon.
After reading it, people were speechless for a long time.
I don’t know how long it took, Zhao Chuan, the most straightforward person, murmured in a trembling voice:
"I...I've destroyed my country?"
His words made everyone come to their senses. Before anyone else could say anything, Xue Huairen shouted angrily:
"What country is destroyed?? I have been passed down for hundreds of years! How could a great traitor be usurped by a single word??"
Hearing this, Wu Yue immediately agreed and said with a trembling voice:
"Mr. Xue said it well! Our Feng Kingdom has seven counties and sixty-one counties, even if there is only one Pingyang County left in the end! Then there will always be only a wind flag hanging on the top of our Pingzhou city! Not a shitty Jin State!"
People all woke up from the shock, and Xue Huairen and Wu Yue's bold words quickly resonated with everyone.
"That's right! We have been all the people of the wind for generations. What a bullshit Jin State! Just a traitor!"
"I am a wind man in my life, and a wind ghost in my life..."
Everyone in the hall scolded Ding Rui's old thief, and they were all indignant, but Xiao Wang was happy.
He was a little confused just now, and he had already reacted completely at this moment.
Suddenly, Xiao Wang snatched the silk book and read the content carefully again, and said excitedly:
"That's right, that's right, Ding Ruidog Thief not only killed the throne, but also killed the Chen royal family..."
After talking about these things, Xiao Wang threw away the silk book, then ignored the quarrels of the crowd, and suddenly knelt on one knee to Lu Chen, intervened and said:
"Sir! The great traitor usurped the country, and the world changes, and the country of wind is in turmoil. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Hearing this, the noisy sound in the hall suddenly became quiet. A flash of light flashed across Lu Chen's eyes, and then he clenched his fists secretly.
However, he did not express any thoughts, but instead asked in confusion: "What does General Xiao mean?"
Xiao Wang replied seriously: "Sir! Ding Rui usurped the rebellion, changed his name to our country, and slaughtered all the Chen royal family. Such behaviors are angered by both humans and gods! As the general of Zhenbei, he should raise the flag of righteousness and lead the army out of Pingyang to attack the rebels, and regain my strong wind!"
Yes! Now, there is only the Feng Kingdom on the top of its city. If it chooses to abide by Ding Rui, then the Feng Kingdom will be really dead! After Xiao Wang finished speaking, all the generals took a deep breath, and at the same time, they knelt on one knee and said in unison:
"We are willing to follow the Lord to fight against the rebels! Let me be strong and strong! "
Looking at the generals kneeling down below, Lu Chen didn't say anything, but his eyes became deeper.
Seeing this, Xiao Wang said anxiously: "Sir..."
"No need to say too much!" Lu Chen directly interrupted what he was about to say, stood up and said coldly:
"I have my own decision to do this. I will talk about it after these two days!"
After saying that, he walked out without looking back, leaving everyone in the room looking at each other.
"What do you mean by this... sir?" Zhao Chuan asked with his hands spread out.
Xiao Wang heard this and said with a faint look:
"Don't worry, such a God-given opportunity, with the wisdom of yours, how can you miss it..." (To be continued)
