Even the bodyguards know how to protect King Yong. Is it possible that his political acumen, as the head of the palace, is not as good as those of these bodyguards?
Based on this mentality, Guan Hetai exploded and directly scolded Cheng Wenguang, the superior officer.
But if Zhou Chengping was here, he would definitely be reasonable, so Zhao Yanxun didn't send him.
At this moment, Cheng Wenguang was stunned on the spot. He could accept being ignored by a group of stinky Qiu Ba, but Guan Hetai's scolding made him feel embarrassed.
At this moment, he couldn't get off the stage, so Guan Hetai looked at each other, almost to the point of spitting out fire.
Fortunately, at this moment, an official pulled Cheng Wenguang back, which eased the embarrassment at the scene.
At this moment, the voices of the guards sounded again in the hall: "Your Highness is favored by God. How can you, a god-like figure, be insulted by you dog officials!"
"Whoever dares to talk nonsense again, I will chop him with a knife!"
After saying this, the guard actually drew out his saber and glanced at the officials like a knife.
The guards can now be said to be die-hard fans of Zhao Yanxun, so they naturally do not want outsiders to slander King Yong.
There was dead silence in the lobby, except for Tian Jingtong on the ground, who was still shouting "rebellious ministers and traitors".
Then he was kicked again and let out a scream.
Thinking of the corpses on the street outside, and looking at the beaten Tian Jingtong in front of him, Guan Hetai completely changed his mentality.
"Drag him out!" Guan Hetai pointed at Tian Jingtong.
The guards then took action and dragged Tian Jing away like a dead dog. His majesty as a border official was gone.
After Tian Jingtong was taken away, Guan Hetai stood up from his chair, glanced at the people in the lobby and said, "He who knows the current affairs is a hero. You are all smart people. What is happening now? You must all understand it!"
"Only by returning to the palace honestly and uniting closely around His Highness can you survive in this world!"
Then, Guan Hetai was seen walking into the lobby. Under the watchful eyes of all the officials, he walked up to the main hall.
"His Highness said, those who obey will prosper and those who go against will perish. You should decide what to do!"
I saw Guan Hetai holding up the chair and sitting on it directly.
But at this moment, everyone else's attention was not on him, but they were all thinking about their own destiny.
Guan Hetai sat on a chair and looked at the complicated expressions of everyone. He knew that these people were thinking and weighing.
About a quarter of an hour later, Guan Hetai lost his patience, so he stood up from his chair and walked out of the lobby.
Is this going to leave? We haven’t made a decision yet... the officials were shouting in their hearts.
"Everyone, either go out with me, or you will never get out for the rest of your life!"
Guan Hetai's voice was cold, and his words were even more murderous, which directly made the people in the lobby tremble.
When life and death were at stake, he didn't care about many things anymore, and someone immediately followed him out.
"Guan Zhangshi, wait a minute...I would like to go out with you!"
"I'm willing too!"
Good guy, a dozen officials in the lobby, including Cheng Wenguang, followed him out.
Guan Hetai smiled, which was undoubtedly mocking in the eyes of everyone, but they all kept their mouths tightly shut.
"Everyone, since you are willing to submit to the palace, then obey the palace's first order!" Guan Hetai said with a smile.
"All government servants will be transferred to the Prince's Military and Horse Department to serve..."
Everyone present was no stranger to the newly established Military and Horse Department of the Royal Palace, and they did not speak at this moment.
"The official warehouse in Yuanyang City will be handed over to the Wangfu Treasury Management Office..."
Immediately afterwards, Guan Hetai made several demands in succession, turning the government into an empty shell.
So doubts arose in everyone's mind. They had already become polished commanders. Why did the palace still force them to submit?
"His Royal Highness also gave a second order, specifically for you people of insight!"
It's a compliment to be knowledgeable, but it sounds particularly harsh at this moment.
"His Highness wants you to enter the major households in Yuanyang and ask them to dissolve their slaves, give up resistance, donate food, and submit to the palace!"
The officials were familiar with this group of powerful people, and it would undoubtedly be better for them to persuade him. This was the real purpose of Guan Hotai's trip.
The so-called negotiation is not to negotiate with this group of officials who have no local roots, but with the group of powerful people with deep roots.
The palace has now taken control of the situation, but if these dignitaries continue to fight despite being trapped, it will also cause some trouble.
It is not impossible to even go as far as to do something extreme, like burning the food on fire.
"Everyone, this is simple, can you do it?"
At this time, Cheng Wenguang said: "The conditions are so harsh and all the food slaves have been taken away. Doesn't this push them to a dead end?"
After a long silence, Guan Hetai said: "All domestic slaves must be dismissed, and the food must be delivered to the official warehouse. These two points must not change!"
"As long as they surrender, the palace will definitely ensure that they have a way to survive. If they insist on going their own way... they will definitely be seeking death!"
Having said this, Guan Hetai said in a deep voice: "Everyone, since you have surrendered to the palace, you should put the interests of the palace first!"
"In today's world, only the palace can protect you. Think about yourself and your family more!"
This group of people's heads have already stated that they want to submit, but their butts haven't had time to move, so Guan Hetai wants to remind them verbally.
Everyone was silent, but they had to admit that what Guan Hetai said made sense.
Compared with Yuanyang dignitaries, if you have to find a backer, Prince Yong's Mansion is indeed much more reliable.
Everyone was silent again, but Guan Hetai could confirm from their expressions that they had listened to his words.
"Since you have chosen the bright road, don't look forward or backward, otherwise you will definitely harm yourself!"
Half an hour later, the tasks of each government were divided, and these officials were "protected" by the guards and rushed to their respective mission targets.
During this time, there was no communication between these officials to prevent them from colluding.
At this moment, there were still soldiers pouring into the North City. Zhao Yanxun dispatched another group of guards and dispatched more men from Wang Cheng's subordinates.
He exerts extreme pressure to ensure that he can still control the situation under extreme circumstances.
After watching all the officials leave, Guan Hetai himself was not idle either.
Nowadays, among the powerful people in Yuanyang, the three families of Zhang, Wu and Feng are the strongest. He will personally lead troops to persuade these three families.
The first person Guan Hetai arrived at was the Zhang family. At this moment, the Chen family was always heavily guarded.
"I am the right chief historian of Prince Yong's Mansion. Following the order of His Highness Prince Yong, I have come to your house to convey the king's order!"
After finishing speaking, there was no reaction at all from inside.
At this time, Guan Hetai did not say much, but retreated directly to the rear. Immediately, soldiers came over carrying a battering ram.
"If you don't open the door again, we will break it down and kill you without mercy!"
When the battering ram was approaching, the Zhang family's gate finally opened.
