Chapter 442 The three disciples in Beijing, but there is resistance, regardless of life or death
Chapter 442: The disciples of the three families in Beijing resist, no matter life or death!
A vast fleet of ships is spread all over the waterways of Yixian County. The Yunlong flags planted on them are flying in the wind.
On both sides of the waterway, the officers and soldiers of the Yun Army who were responsible for garrisoning Yi County gathered here. They all knelt on the ground and shouted long live in succession, which was heard in all directions.
Xiao Cheng stood on the deck and looked at the Yixian waterway that had been widened and washed away to accommodate three warships passing through at the same time. He couldn't help but nodded slightly and said:
"The waterway in Yixian County has been opened. From now on, our army can go down the river and directly enter the Xia Kingdom. Wu Zixu's idea is very good..."
Having said this, Xiao Cheng paused slightly and then said:
"I remember that the person in charge of waterway development in Yi County was Zheng Guo from the Ministry of Industry?"
Feng Bao, who was accompanying Xiao Cheng, heard Xiao Cheng's question and quickly replied:
"Your Majesty is right, he is none other than Mr. Zheng Guozheng, a member of the Ministry of Industry!"
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng nodded and said:
"Although Wu Zixu's idea is good, he has not established meritorious service based on this waterway. In addition, he has just received a reward before, so it is difficult to reward him again. On the contrary, this Zhengguo has made great contributions in widening the waterway in Yixian County. From now on, he will be promoted to the fifth rank of the Ministry of Industry.
The doctor of the Water Department, in charge of the Cleaning Department of the Water Department!"
When Feng Bao heard this, he had a look of admiration on his face, bowed and saluted, and said with admiration:
"Your Majesty knows how to make good use of people and rewards and punish them appropriately. This is really what a saint does!"
Xiao Cheng laughed and cursed:
"I just know how to flatter you!"
At this time, waves suddenly appeared on the widened river in the distance, causing the river to become turbulent and even there was no wind to create huge waves.
On the surface of the river, waves rolled, and the water surface was turbulent. A huge black figure of more than ten feet, with two people hugging each other, appeared on the surface of the river. With the body surging, it came towards Xiao Cheng's fleet!
On the Yun Kingdom Navy warship that was responsible for clearing the way ahead, some Forbidden Army soldiers saw the black figure on the river and immediately remembered the thrill on Dongting Lake.
The soldiers were suddenly startled and shouted hurriedly:
"There's something under the water!"
The people responsible for Xiao Chengyi's safety on this ship are well-trained, brave and loyal soldiers of the Forbidden Army.
At this time, Pao Ze's urgent cry immediately aroused vigilance.
After seeing clearly that there was indeed a black figure emerging from the surface of the river, the soldiers on the warship immediately took action.
Urgent military orders sounded on the ship, and the officers and men were running back and forth on the ship. The crossbow placed on the bow of the ship was stretched open by the huge crossbow arrows, making a "squeaking" sound.
There were even more officers on the ship who raised their command flags and kept flying towards the rear. This was a warning to the naval warships behind them.
Xiao Cheng, who was standing on the deck, also noticed the movement of the leading ship in front. He raised his brows slightly and said:
"What happened up front?"
Yu Huatian, who had just arrived at Xiao Cheng's side and seemed to have something to report, hesitated slightly at this moment and quickly bowed to Xiao Cheng and said:
"Slave, let's go and take a look!"
But before he could leave, a soldier from the Forbidden Army came quickly, knelt down in front of Xiao Cheng, and said:
"Your Majesty, the ship ahead sent a message that there is something strange in the river. Your Majesty, please go ashore as soon as possible to avoid it!"
When Yuhuatian heard this, he said in disbelief:
"Is there any assassin who dares to come?"
Are there really people in this world who are not afraid of death? The martial arts displayed by His Majesty Yuanjiang are unrivaled in the world. How could anyone dare to come and assassinate him at this time?
"It's not clear. The flag language is simple and difficult to express clearly..."
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he frowned and hummed:
"Not sure? I haven't figured out what it is yet, so I have to avoid it in a hurry. Where do I put my face and Dayun's face?"
Having said this, Xiao Cheng raised his head slightly. In the dark, there was a trace of national destiny, suddenly falling from the clouds into Xiao Cheng's body.
Xiao Cheng's eyes immediately glowed with golden light, and his pupils turned into dragon pupils as he looked forward.
With the blessing of the country's destiny, nothing in the Yun Kingdom can escape Xiao Cheng's sight.
Then, under the water channel of Nayi County, a black dragon more than ten feet was seen swimming quickly in the water.
In Xiao Cheng's sight at this time, the most conspicuous thing was the silver dragon seal above the head of the black dragon.
This dragon silver seal exudes silver brilliance. If you look closely, there is a golden light symbolizing the power of the Yun Kingdom's national destiny, wrapped around it. Where the silver seal passes, there are originally chaotic and disorderly water veins.
The force suddenly became extremely docile and no longer wreaked havoc.
Xiao Cheng's eyes flashed, he couldn't help but raised his head and laughed, saying:
"I forgot that there is such a minister who I haven't met yet..."
This unreasonable sentence made everyone around Xiao Cheng slightly stunned, and some did not understand its meaning.
Xiao Cheng laughed a few times and said:
"Send orders to the battleships ahead not to take action, it's my Lujiang Dragon King who is here!"
"Lujiang Dragon King?"
Just when everyone was hesitating, they heard a violent sound suddenly coming from the river in front of them.
The black figure stopped dozens of feet away from the fleet and suddenly emerged from the water.
The body is slender, like a snake, with four legs, a ferocious head and horns, and the black scales all over its body are extremely dazzling under the sunlight, making people feel surprised and shocked.
Since Xiao Cheng ascended the throne and took power, the Yun Kingdom's national fortunes have flourished.
After the great changes in the world, another chance encounter, a trace of the blessings of the Yun Kingdom's national destiny, combined with the power of the Lujiang River's water veins, gave birth to such a dragon and strange beast.
Because he blocked Li Bing, a foreign minister from the Ministry of Industry, from building the Lujiang Bridge, he was almost killed by Xiao Chengjun because of the national destiny.
Later, Xiao Cheng saw that it was a strange beast born from the power of heaven and earth, and had never harmed a human life, so he showed mercy. He instead named the Dragon King of Lujiang and let it regulate the water veins of the Lujiang River and enjoy the enjoyment of both sides of the Lujiang River.
The people worshiped.
And this Yixian waterway also belongs to the Lujiang River!
The dragon jumped out of the water, and its yellow beast eyes had long lost their original fierceness and coldness, instead showing their spirituality.
When they saw Xiao Cheng's arrival, the dragon standing upright on the water immediately bent down, and the dragon's head with ferocious horns hung down to the surface of the river, as if he was studying. The courtiers bowed their heads and bowed to Xiao Cheng.
His appearance showed his surrender.
The soldiers who were still waiting in full formation were horrified when they saw this huge monster that only appeared in myths appearing in front of them. Even though the dragon now looked submissive and submissive, they felt that their hands and feet were cold and their minds were blank.
.
That is to say, these soldiers are well-trained, have high morale, and are extremely loyal. Otherwise, if they face this strange beast, their morale will be shaken immediately and they will disperse.
At this time, someone heard someone shouting:
"This is the Dragon King of Lujiang that your Majesty has ennobled! Your Majesty has ordered that all officers and men must not take action!"
Because Xiao Cheng had a very high prestige among the Yun Kingdom's court and public, even though this order not to take action seemed a bit ridiculous, after being conveyed, it actually made all the soldiers slightly lower their guard and nervousness.
The movement just now was not a small one. The entire ceremonial fleet, including civil and military officials, soldiers of the Forbidden Army, and people in the palace, were shocked at this moment, and they all walked out of the cabin to watch.
Seeing this huge beast of heaven and earth in front of them, many courtiers and soldiers were shocked and astonished, and some of the brave ones began to whisper.
"Oh my God, there are actually dragons in this world!"
"Lujiang Dragon King? There really is one..."
"What is the Lujiang Dragon King?"
"Previously, Dayun newly acquired Jiangyang County. In order to completely bring Jiangyang County under the rule of Dayun, His Majesty arranged for someone to preside over the construction of the Lujiang Bridge to connect Jiangyang County and Jianchang Prefecture. At that time, His Majesty suddenly
I made such a decree to confer the title of Dragon King of Lujiang..."
"Yes, when His Majesty's imperial edict was issued, everyone in the court thought that it was His Majesty who issued the edict in order to appease the people. But, they never expected that it turned out to be true!"
"Why is it that in just two or three years, this world is so different from what I remember?"
"Previously, a courtier presented the auspicious beast Qilin, and His Majesty kept it in the forbidden garden of the palace. I thought it was just a diseased beast in the mountains, and was far-fetched and said it was a Qilin. During this parade, I also heard that Your Majesty personally killed a Qilin on Dongting Lake.
Jiaolong also gave dragon meat to civil and military officials. I thought I just hunted a big snake in Dongting Lake. Someone made up such a story to please Your Majesty... But today I saw it with my own eyes. I just saw it.
You know, it turns out that I am blind!"
"No wonder there were rumors in the world that the world from now on will be a world of great contention that is even more desirable than when hundreds of schools of thought contended hundreds of years ago! There are unicorns and dragons, and there are even immortals and Buddhas.
The talk about ghosts and gods is not nonsense!"
"..."
Looking at the strange beast, the dragon, bowing down on the river in the distance, Feng Bao quickly showed joy, bowed and saluted:
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty! Such a strange beast from heaven and earth also expressed its surrender in front of Your Majesty. This is God's recognition of Your Majesty's wisdom!"
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng chuckled lightly and did not answer.
The reason why the dragon surrendered so much was because Xiao Cheng pinned it to the bridge pillar with a sword energy and could not move, not because of the enlightenment of heaven and earth.
However, this kind of thing can boost people's morale and can also create rumors about the Holy Lord of Destiny. Naturally, Xiao Cheng will not say anything at this time.
Xiao Cheng held the Furious Dragon Sword on his waist, stood on the building boat, and shouted loudly:
"From now on, you will be the one to control the Lujiang River. Since you have come to greet me today, you can lead the way and calm the storms on the river for me!"
The sound of shouting, full of internal power and full of imperial majesty, spread across the river.
After this dragon was granted the title of Dragon King of Lujiang, he was blessed by the national destiny of the Yun Kingdom and was worshiped by the people along the river. Now he understands human nature and understands people's words. Otherwise, he would not be able to come here to greet Xiao Cheng today.
After hearing what Xiao Cheng said, the dragon raised its body and made a hissing sound. Immediately, its slender body suddenly jumped up, splashing a splash of water, and dived into the river again.
In the sight that is difficult for ordinary people to see, the Lujiang Dragon King dives into the water, with the dragon's silver seal above his head, emitting dazzling silver light. Under the brilliance, the river surface that was originally surging with undercurrents suddenly calmed down.
The Yijia fleet set off again, with the Dragon King of Lujiang escorting them in the river and regulating the water veins. The speed of the fleet suddenly increased. Compared with the previous trip upstream, I don't know how much faster!
Xiao Cheng watched the boat speed up and couldn't help but patted the railing happily and said:
"The speed of this ship is much faster! At this speed, it won't take more than a month to return to the capital! I was a little worried that I might not be able to make it in time for the first birthday party of the eldest son of the emperor Narita..."
Hearing Xiao Cheng mention that Xiao Chengze, the eldest son of the emperor, was returning to the capital, Yu Huatian suddenly remembered that he had come to report a secret report to the capital!
He quickly bowed and saluted, took out the secret fold from his arms, and said urgently:
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the capital! Recently, there have been a lot of changes in the capital. Some people even want to spy on the palace and extend their hands into the palace. The capital is suspicious, suspicious... The targets of the forces behind the scenes are probably two people.
Your Highness the Prince!"
When Xiao Cheng listened to Yu Huatian's words, the original smile on his face immediately dissipated.
Xiao Cheng directly passed the secret fold in his hand, opened it and scanned it again, his face turned cold, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said:
"Dongchang, Sticking Office, the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion, the Forbidden Army Yamen, the Gyeonggi Yamen, and even the Yushitai and Dali Temple Yamen all realized that someone was plotting behind the scenes. As a result, the secret information given to me actually said this
The person behind the scenes has not been found out yet?"
"Let someone make such a big noise in Zhongqing City. Huh? Let me ask you, do you have a living to support you?"
Underneath the seemingly calm tone, there is a raging anger hidden within!
The emperor was so angry that he laid down millions of corpses.
At this time, Xiao Cheng, even though he has not vented all the anger in his heart, is just slightly cold-faced. The thick majesty and cold murderous intention emanating from his body make the people around him breathless, as if his chest is filled with blood.
It's like a big stone has pressed down on it.
When Yuhuatian heard this, his knees softened, he knelt down suddenly and said urgently:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! This matter is not that Jingzhong is careless, it is actually..."
"What is it?" Xiao Cheng's voice became colder and colder.
Yuhuatian was even more panicked. He no longer cared about whether he should say anything or not. He gritted his teeth and said:
"The involvement is too wide! Even Marquis Yizi, Marquis Anning, Marquis Yongde, and Old Lieutenant Tao are all involved. There are rumors in the capital that it is an assassination, and the four families are also fishing in troubled waters..."
"Even though this matter is mostly nonsense, all the government offices are tied up because of it."
Ma Minwen, the Marquis of Yizi, Yang Xuanyan, the Marquis of Anning, Qucheng, the Marquis of Yongde, as well as the Taiwei of the current dynasty and Tao Ai, the Chief Governor of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion.
When these people are involved, Beijing naturally needs to be cautious.
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he shouted:
"Although I am not in the capital, I also know that this is a way to fish in troubled waters. Are all the government agencies in the capital really tied up by this matter?"
Having said this, Xiao Cheng could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He threw the secret fold in his hand at Yu Huatian and cursed:
"But a group of cunning villains used some tricks to force my concubines and two princes to hide in the Kunning Palace. Even when they eat and drink in daily life, they have to be careful and walk on thin ice... You are a bunch of trash, you guys are
Such a betrayal of my trust in you!"
For ordinary men, their wives and children are also untouchable, let alone Xiao Cheng?
Moreover, Dayun had just suppressed the Xia Kingdom and had great prestige among all the countries in the world. But then he turned around and the concubines and princes of the Dayun Kingdom were made to look like this. Isn’t it just a slap in Xiao Cheng’s face?
Well!
Yuhuatian was too frightened to reply, so Feng Bao could only be bold and cautiously persuade:
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Xiao Cheng took a few deep breaths, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly:
"I directly sent an order to the three families in Beijing, Confucianism, Ming Dynasty, and Legalism, who were involved in a major conspiracy and assassination case. Nan Jiyun, the Central Guard Army, mobilized the soldiers and horses of the imperial army to arrest them immediately. Disciples from the three families in Beijing, but those who resisted will be killed or alive.
whether!"
As soon as these words came out, Feng Bao was extremely shocked and subconsciously said:
"Your Majesty, if there is no solid evidence..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Cheng's eyes, full of violent and murderous intent, glanced over coldly.
"I want to kill a few people, do I need evidence?"
Originally, Xiao Cheng had the patience to play with them slowly, waiting for them to show their flaws.
After weighing the pros and cons, this is the method that Xiao Cheng feels is the most appropriate and the one with the least loss. But this does not mean that, with the reputation of Confucianism, Legalism, and Ming Dynasty, Xiao Cheng will always be scrupulous and dare not take action!
Feng Bao immediately shut up. Yuhuatian, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly raised his head, with a ruthless look in his eyes and said:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will send a message to the capital right now. All the disciples of the three families in the capital should be arrested. But if there is resistance, we will not care whether they live or die!"
