Seeing Yanchi King Zhao Bing, Zhao Kai did not speak to him first, but turned to look at another middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament standing behind him. He asked:
"If I remember correctly, Mr. Nalan, this is the first time we have met, right? He is indeed an unparalleled counselor with Li Yishan, he is truly extraordinary!"
Nalan Youci bowed respectfully and said:
"Your Majesty is overly complimentary. Although the common people have admired Your Majesty for a long time, this is indeed the first time they have seen the Holy Face! We are already old and old in front of Your Majesty and cannot bear the word "extraordinary".
Zhao Kai finally discovered that no matter what kind of counselor he was, he would only choose good ones.
Zhao Kai didn't take Nalan Youci's flattery to heart at all, but kept to himself and said in a normal tone:
"Yes, I remember that five or six years ago, I was still an illegitimate prince. When I was studying abroad, I always kept a low profile. Until I met Cao Changqing by chance at the Western Barrier.
At that time, he came with murderous intent. After questioning, he said that the favor order I wrote had threatened the interests of many people, and some people even asked him to kill me, saying that as long as he killed me
, so he shared the world with him and ruled by dividing the river.
He said that it was you, Mr. Nalan, who asked him to kill me. I would like to ask, is this true?"
Zhao Kai's tone was normal, without a trace of excitement, as if he was recounting a trivial matter. As soon as he said this, the three of them suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed. They defended:
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. Please tell me clearly. We shoulder the responsibility of guarding one side. How dare we offend the power of Heaven? Your Majesty, please don't listen to the one-sided words of the remnants of Western Chu! Cao Changqing's move must be to provoke us.
relationship so that he can complete his great cause of restoring the country. Please give your Majesty a clear warning!"
The three of them were all a little frightened and kowtowed several times, fearing that Zhao Kai was young and energetic and would deal with them directly regardless of the consequences. At this time, Zhao Bing felt a little regretful because he knew he shouldn't have brought his son here.
Zhao Kai nodded, asked the three of them to get up, and said:
"Since you said so, it must be Cao Changqing who is sowing discord. A great Confucian sage is so shameless. Such a low-level person doesn't know how he became a Confucian sage?"
"Since it is Cao Changqing who is instigating discord, then naturally I will not do anything that would please my relatives and my enemies, but that Xi Chu not only plots to restore the country and split Liyang, but also sows feelings between you and my uncle and nephew?
This is truly a heinous crime, does the Emperor intend to let the 200,000-strong army in Southern Xinjiang stand by and watch?"
How dare Zhao Bing refuse at this time? They had just passed the blame to Cao Changqing. If he refused at this time, wouldn't it be a clear admission of the previous matter?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, when we return to southern Xinjiang, we will definitely integrate the army and pacify Western Chu!"
The assassination is today, which shows that he and Li Yang will fight to the death!
"It's just that King Guangling is still on Guangling Road. Will sending troops there like this..."
Zhao Kai interrupted Zhao Bing directly and said coldly:
"It doesn't matter, after today, there will no longer be King Guangling!"
As soon as these words came out, several people were shocked again. Zhao Kai didn't want to see their expressions, so he waved his hands and said:
"You should return to your fiefdom first. It's not enough to send out troops. Just wait for my will!"
King Zhao Bing of Yan and his entourage left the palace with great relief and hurried back to southern Xinjiang that day.
On the other side, at King Guangling's post house, Zhao Yi was dragging his fat body back and forth in the room. The major vassal kings had been received one after another and started to return to their respective fiefdoms. Only their father and son did not receive the reception.
Entering the palace, they were in extreme uneasiness at this time. Fortunately, the post house only had one floor, otherwise the father and son would have collapsed.
Zhao Piao, who is even fatter, said:
"Dad, what are you afraid of? We are here to watch the ceremony. If he dares to take action, wouldn't he be risking the disapproval of the world? All the princes and people in the world are watching. Do you think our tens of millions of soldiers in Guangling are vegetarians?
?Besides, if there is chaos on Guangling Road, who will deal with Xi Chu? I don’t believe he dares to do something that even the emperor dare not do?
Even if we have to deal with them, we have to deal with Zhao Bing and Zhao Xun. Their strength and ambition are greater than ours! We are not rebelling."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless forbidden troops suddenly poured in, and soon the entire post house was surrounded by water. The leader was none other than the new commander of the forbidden troops, Jiang Huding!
Without saying a word, these people started taking action and immediately disarmed everyone.
Although Guangling King Zhao Yi had many guards, they could not stop the continuous flow of imperial troops. The masters of Chunxuelou wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but unexpectedly they were neatly eliminated by several swordsmen who suddenly appeared, and none of them could escape.
go.
The father and son soon became prisoners. Jiang Huding took out a book and read it out in front of them. It listed hundreds of crimes, all of which were shocking!
"Let me go, I want to see the emperor! I am the prince, you can't do this to me!"
Jiang Huding didn't talk nonsense to them and imprisoned them directly. Zhao Kai had already spoken and let them starve for a few days. It took a lot of effort for two people who weighed a thousand kilograms in total.
The next day, Zhao Kai announced to the world that all the crimes committed by Prince Guangling and his son were made public. For a time, the public was furious, and everyone wanted to cut the father and son into pieces with a thousand swords!
At the same time, thousands of miles away in Guangling Road and Wuling City, General Yang Shenxing, who had already received the imperial decree, directly sent troops to surround the entire Guangling Palace and quickly ransacked his house. King Guangling had always occupied the prosperous Guangling Road.
In Fish and Meat Township, one can imagine that the family's wealth is almost enough to launch a large-scale war.
Most of the tens of thousands of troops under his command also surrendered and were incorporated, greatly expanding Liyang's military strength in Guangling Road. Only a small half are missing.
But surprisingly, among those who surrendered, the master of Chunxue Tower was not seen. This top strategist had obviously fled into the darkness.
Soon after, many loyalists of King Guangling began to resist stubbornly, occupying several large cities and confronting the imperial court. They also knew that the things they had committed were too numerous to describe, and even if they surrendered, they would not be able to escape.
One death.
At the same time, Cao Changqing also saw the opportunity at this time and launched a plan to restore the country. For a while, he no longer had the energy to deal with these people.
Guangling Road was originally the territory of Western Chu, and there were countless people who longed for their homeland. After Cao Changqing brought Jiang Ni back to the country, countless people began to respond and rose up. In a short period of time, tens of thousands of people gathered.
The entire Guangling Road was instantly plunged into flames of war.
