Chapter Twenty-Nine: My Intestines Are Green with Regret
Quiet.
Deadly silence.
In the rather small hall, you can hear a needle drop at this moment.
Everyone just looked at Zhao Zheng silently, but no one dared to speak.
If someone had previously contradicted the emperor or even cursed, he would have been severely punished.
So if you want to assassinate the emperor, it will be like killing the nine tribes.
Well, yes, it's not enough to die by yourself, you have to bring your family along with you.
It's not good to kill anyone. If you go to kill the emperor, isn't your brain blocked?
Zhu Ming and others broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads. How could they be fools after living to this age?
In this situation, anyone who is not a fool will not plead for Zhao Zheng. Anyone who speaks out will be punished.
Zhao Zheng also looked pale at this moment, looking at the dagger on the ground for a long time without speaking.
He wanted to say that he had misunderstood Xia Yan just now, but he quickly put this idea in his heart.
He is the emperor, no matter how misunderstood you are, you can't touch him at all.
Now that I have murderous intentions, I will prepare the nine tribes to accompany me.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng stopped struggling and just silently knelt on the ground with his knees weak.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Zheng is at your disposal."
After saying this, Xia Yan above did not speak. Everyone saw that Xia Yan's eyes were a little dull, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but feel a huge feeling of repentance in his heart.
Your Majesty must be sad. He trusts me so much, and I actually do such a treasonous thing. I really deserve to die...
Similar to him, all the ministers seemed to feel that Zhao Zheng had betrayed His Majesty's trust.
In fact, in Xia Yan's mind...
Damn it... He was going to kill me... He was going to kill me... I actually asked him to stop... Damn it!!
Who would have thought that at this moment, Xia Yan's intestines were about to turn green. How could he have known that he was just one step away from completing the task early?
But coincidentally, at this point when the task was about to be completed, he actually opened his mouth to tell Zhao Zheng his grand vision for education.
Now it was better, Zhao Zheng instantly had no intention of killing himself.
Xia Yan really wanted to give himself two big words, and also wanted to tell Zhao Zheng that I don't mind if you give me two knives.
But he understood that if he really said this, the system would 100% determine that he had committed a foul.
What can I do? I'm a bitch.
In a daze, Eunuch Luo on the side touched him gently, and then Xia Yan noticed that Zhao Zheng was still trembling beneath him.
According to the law, it should be beheaded? But Xia Yan thought it was not necessary.
First of all, I am a civilized person, and I don’t really like to fight and kill for nothing.
Secondly, this person almost became his benefactor when he returned, but on the contrary, it was his own problems that prevented Zhao Zheng from taking action.
From this perspective, I still need to be embarrassed.
In this case, I definitely can't kill Zhao Zheng directly.
So, Xia Yan thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Ahem, you bought the knife I asked you to buy yesterday. It's not bad."
"ah?"
Zhao Zheng didn't react for a while, he just stood there blankly.
Zhu Ming reacted quickly and coughed heavily.
"Ahem, cough, cough, it turns out that Brother Zhao bought a knife for His Majesty. It was a misunderstanding!"
Before Zhao Zheng could speak, Xia Yan was the first to speak.
"Yes, yes, it is normal for a person who is asked to buy a knife to carry a small knife with him."
"Yes, yes, it's normal."
A group of people began to frantically heighten the atmosphere, and it was only then that Zhao Zheng finally spoke in a daze.
"Yes...yes..."
Seeing this, Xia Yan was naturally too lazy to pay attention to him and just nodded curtly.
"Since everything is fine, let's retreat from the court."
After saying that, Xia Yan didn't forget to bend down and pick up the dagger, played with it a few times in his hand and said, "Well, it looks good. Since you bought it for me, I'll take it."
At this point, Xia Yan has decided not to pursue anything further. After all, he is the one who is going back.
When people are about to leave, their hearts are kind.
Then, he disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Although I am a little upset, the day of going back is not far away after all.
If nothing unexpected happens, the two armies will fight in two days.
As long as the war is defeated, oneself will not be far away from the country's subjugation.
In the main hall, a group of people gathered around Zhao Zheng and remained silent for a long time.
Up to now, Zhao Zheng was still kneeling on the spot without getting up, his eyes flickering.
Finally he spoke slowly, "I wrongly blamed Your Majesty."
"Not bad." It was Zhu Ming who spoke first. Zhu Ming looked at the direction Xia Yan was leaving and sighed meaningfully.
"His Majesty has great talents and great plans, but we, as ministers, do not understand his good intentions."
Zhao Zheng nodded, "Fortunately, I once said that Your Majesty was a foolish king. Now that I think about it, I feel really ashamed."
"Yes, education is the first priority in the country's plan. What a visionary person it takes to say this."
Several people nodded silently, their views on Xia Yan completely changed in their hearts.
Two days later...
Outside the gate of Yuguo City, two groups of people faced each other.
He wrote to Xia Yan that it was a decisive battle, but Yu did not break his promise and directly sent out all his 60,000-strong army.
There are also a lot of people in Daxia. New personnel have been joining in recent days. The Daxia army now has more than 30,000 people.
Of course, most of them are soldiers from foreign countries, and they undoubtedly come to the army for the prizes and playing cards that have been blown to heaven.
At this moment, the combined strength of both sides was nearly 100,000, and the scene was extremely majestic.
The leader of the Daxia army is Huo Qubing. He is riding a horse with a heroic appearance and has the aura of one man in charge.
The leader on the opposite side was a tall and muscular man named Lin Tianba. He was shaking his muscles and yelling at Huo Qubing.
"Boy, where did you Daxia get the courage to challenge our Yu Kingdom? Did your emperor take the wrong medicine?"
"Challenge?" After saying this, the corners of Huo Qubing's mouth slightly raised, showing a hint of disdain.
"You alone are not worthy of using these two words."
Lin Tianba, who was opposite him, had an angry look on his face. Feeling that he was losing face, he continued to scold him loudly.
"It's useless to talk too much, so let's fight with real swords and guns."
Afterwards, Lin Tianba shouted loudly, the war drums beat behind him, and the soldiers began to charge.
When Huo Qubing here saw the people of Yu State starting to charge, he grinned slightly and also extended a gesture.
Seeing this gesture, everyone in Daxia's army began to enter a fighting state.
It's just that they didn't charge forward, they just waited silently for the arrival of Yu's army.
After all, Daxia has Jiang Hanjian. This chapter has been completed!
