Seeing Yuan Mou, who was so arrogant just now, his head fell to the ground in an instant, everyone at the scene was dumbfounded!
After being stunned for a long time, Yu Fan, who had a nepotistic relationship with Yuan Mou, screamed, rushed forward and shouted:
"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!"
Xiong Wei, the commander-in-chief of the Zuo Army, was also caught off guard. He shook his head and said repeatedly:
"Alas! How could this happen? How could this happen?"
At this moment, Zhao Zheng calmly held the knife horizontally, and Yuan Mou's blood was still slowly flowing down the blade. He looked around, and finally his eyes rested on the two lieutenant generals, Yu Fan and Xiong Wei, and sighed. The voice said:
"Yuan Mou disobeyed the imperial edict and openly challenged my authority. He should be executed according to the law! If he does not kill him, it will not be enough to establish military discipline! It will not be enough to establish monarchy!"
"If you two are dissatisfied, you can tell me!"
After saying that, he raised his knife and moved forward, approaching Xiong Wei and Yu Fan step by step.
Xiong Wei, the commander-in-chief of the Zuo Army, had an indifferent relationship with Yuan Mou, and sincerely looked down on the person with connections who had used the back door to rise to the top. He immediately stood at attention, raised his hands and said:
"Well done, Your Majesty!"
"Yuan Mou disobeyed military orders and had no king. He really deserves to be killed!"
This answer made Zhao Zheng very satisfied. He nodded, pointed the tip of his knife directly at another relative in the army - Prime Minister Yu Zhong's son, Yu Fan, and asked:
"Commander Yu, do you think Yuan Mou should be killed? Do you want to avenge your brother-in-law?"
Although Yu Fan has always been arrogant and domineering because his father is the prime minister, he is not a fool after all. He knows that if he says the wrong thing now, Zhao Zheng's sword will immediately cut off his head.
As a result, Yu Fan quickly cooperated and said:
"Yuan Mou deserves to be killed! He really deserves to be killed! Your Majesty killed well! What a wonderful killing! This person actually dares to openly disobey Your Majesty, it is really lawless! Our Yu family does not have such a rebellious son-in-law! Thank you Your Majesty for cleaning up the family of my Yu family! "
When Zhao Zheng heard this, he immediately laughed heartily and said:
"Hahaha... Okay, you two are indeed talented people who know the current affairs. I am very happy. From now on, the right army commanded by Yuan Mou will be handed over to the left army Zhonglang General Xiong Wei to command. You two will go now Deploy your troops and generals and arrange a military parade!"
Xiong Wei and Yu Fan had seen Zhao Zheng's thunderous methods, how could they dare to say no? He quickly accepted the order and turned around to shake people in the military camp.
However, the camp in the north of the city was not an airtight wall. There were spies of the Yu family everywhere. Zhao Zheng slashed Yuan Mou with a knife, and the news reached the prime minister's house.
At this time, Yu Zhong was carrying caged birds in the back garden, drinking tea and admiring flowers.
Suddenly a servant walked over quickly and reported in a low voice:
"For your information, Prime Minister, Your Majesty went to the camp in the north of the city today and beheaded Commander Yuan as soon as he came up..."
When Yu Zhong heard this, he was startled. His hands shook, and he failed to hold the gold-trimmed birdcage, and it fell to the ground with a clang.
"What?"
"That coward killed my Yu family's son-in-law?"
The servant whispered:
"Exactly. It is said that Commander Yuan contradicted His Majesty in public, which made Long Yan furious. His Majesty drew his sword on the spot and chopped him down."
The more Yu Zhong listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Veins appeared on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and said:
"What a great Zhao Zheng. The truth is that I asked you to personally attack Beimang, but you killed the prime minister's son-in-law first. What's that? Do you want to give the truth a show of strength? Huh, don't be happy too early. The truth has to let you do it. Pay the price for this!”
…
An hour later.
The three armies of the main camp in the north of the city came out together and stood in formation on the school field. The three hundred thousand troops were in uniform and well-organized formations!
The spears were pointed straight into the sky, and the flags were fluttering in the wind!
Zhao Zheng put on his dragon robe and stood on the military parade platform. With a wave of his saber, the three armies shouted in unison:
"Kowtow to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
Zhao Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said loudly:
"good!"
"These are the soldiers of my great empire!"
"When you are called, you will come. If you come, you can fight. If you fight, you will win!"
Xiong Wei and Yu Fan stood obediently behind Zhao Zheng, not even daring to make a sound.
At this moment, a howl suddenly came from outside the military camp in the north of the city, and then a woman's heartbreaking voice was heard:
"Husband! You died so miserably! You worked hard and diligently for the Daqian Dynasty, but in the end you ended up with your body and head missing. You died unjustly..."
When Yu Fan heard this voice, his expression suddenly changed, because he recognized that it was the voice of his sister, Mrs. Yu.
Mrs. Yu's real name is Yu Caiwei. She is in her early twenties. She is the second daughter of Prime Minister Yu Zhong. She is the younger sister of the current Queen Mother Yu. She is quite pretty and is said to be especially good at singing and dancing.
And Yuan Mou, who had just been hacked to death by Zhao Zheng, was her husband.
Now that I heard that Yuan Mou died tragically in the military camp, Mrs. Yu actually rode a sedan all the way from her residence to the military camp.
When they arrived at the gate of the military camp, the soldiers guarding the camp quickly stepped forward to block the way. Yu Caiwei poked her head out of the sedan and said sternly:
"I am the apple of the eye of the then Prime Minister Yu Zhong, who of you dares to block my way? Are you tired of living?"
After hearing this, the soldiers guarding the camp quickly took a step back and let Yu Caiwei in.
At this time, Zhao Zheng, who was on the military parade platform, looked down and saw that Yu Caiwei was indeed quite pretty. Although she was married and not as pure as a young girl, her eyebrows and eyes, especially her plump and graceful figure, were There is a charm and enchantment everywhere that a pure girl does not have.
Zhao Zheng, who had seen countless women in his previous life, knew in his heart that such a woman would taste more delicious, but an untouched girl like Gu Qianxi would taste uninteresting.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Caiwei arrived in front of the military parade. She deliberately cried loudly to Zhao Zheng:
"It's unreasonable! My husband is loyal to Daqian, and his family has been loyal for generations, but today he was brutally killed by the stupid king! I don't accept it! I don't accept it!"
Zhao Zheng snorted coldly when he heard this, stood on the parade stage, pointed at Yu Caiwei in the audience and yelled:
"Bold! Whose female family member is in the audience? Not only did she break into the camp in the north of the city without permission, but she actually dared to roar loudly in front of me and disturb the Holy Master? Someone, get her for me!"
Now that Zhao Zheng had spoken, two soldiers strode forward and grabbed Yu Caiwei's arms, one on the left and the other on the right, and held her down on the spot.
At this time, Yu Fan quickly ran up to plead for mercy and said with a smile on his face:
"Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down! This girl is none other than the second sister of the last general and the first wife of the criminal Yuan Mou. I hope your Majesty will spare her this time for the sake of my father, Prime Minister Yu."
