After the crisis was resolved, Chen Xing returned to the Prime Minister's office. The first thing he did was to liquidate the treasonous behavior of the imperial guards.
Even though the war in the Great Eastern Court has entered the final stage, he has no time to intervene. Placing such a time bomb next to you is like hiding a needle in your pillow, like a bullet stuck in your throat.
He called Huang Fenglie, the commander of the Dragon Scale Guards, and ordered him to lead his troops to surround the Guards camp, and arrest the commander of the regiment, Garfield, and a group of senior officers.
The reason why he didn't send Aqiao Mu's black prison troops or Bai Ye Liufang's security forces to arrest people was because the Royal City Guards were extremely powerful, with combat power equivalent to half a king level. Send them there, I'm afraid they won't be caught but will be detained instead.
Huang Fenglie looked embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and said, "Sir, it's really inappropriate for you to ask me to arrest people now."
"What should I say?" Chen Xing put his hands on the desk and turned sideways to look at the tall and burly old man in front of the desk.
"Now that the war in the Great East Courtyard has not ended, we will take advantage of our own people."
"Asshole!"
Huang Fenglie was only halfway through his words when Chen Xing slapped the table and stood up, furious, "What do you mean by one of your own!"
"Can the person who stabs you in the back call one of your own?"
"Prime Minister, calm down, calm down," Huang Fenglie repeatedly consoled him, "It's my subordinate's fault. I was rough, not good at speaking, and made a mistake. It was an unintentional mistake. Don't worry about it."
But Chen Xing was so angry that he couldn't stop at all.
"Are you an old fool?"
"What they committed was treason, a first-class felony, and their homes must be confiscated and exiled. What are you thinking!"
"I understand, I understand." Huang Fenglie nodded repeatedly as his face was sprayed with saliva.
After scolding for a while, Chen Xing's anger calmed down.
Looking at the loyal and kind-hearted old general in front of him, he took a deep breath and softened his tone, "Old General Huang, I was a little excited just now. I said something that was too much. Don't take it to heart."
After all, at a critical moment, the other party firmly chose to stand on their side. Chen Xing was just angry for a moment, not against Huang Fenglie.
"I'm an old fool. I can't distinguish between right and wrong, right from wrong. The Prime Minister scolded me well and rightly. It made the old man enlightened." Huang Fenglie said with emotion. .
"Old General Huang's words are serious." Chen Xing stood up, walked around the desk, poured a glass of wine for Huang Fenglie, and handed it to him.
"I know it's very difficult for you," Chen Xing said in a heartfelt tone, "It's not what you or I wanted for things to develop like this."
"The Dragon Scale Guards and the Imperial Guards guard the same city together and have cooperated countless times. They are brothers in the trenches, and their love for each other must be deep."
"Sir, you misunderstood" Huang Fenglie straightened his back and said, "In my heart, Huang Fenglie, only has national justice and no personal emotions."
"Although Garfield and I have worked together for many years and feel like brothers, we can only go our own way in the face of major issues of right and wrong."
"The reason why this subordinate feels it is inappropriate has nothing to do with personal feelings." Huang Fenglie declared.
"What do you mean?" Chen Xing looked at the other party.
Huang Fenglie slowed down his speech and explained in detail, "The Imperial City Guards have been established for many years. As a force directly under the king, they have independent actions and sufficient budgets. They have been monolithic internally."
"Once the senior officials of the Imperial Guard are captured, there will be no control over the imperial guards below. I'm afraid it will cause a mutiny."
"Yeah" Chen Xing nodded thoughtfully. The other party is right. These people dare to commit treason, so why don't they dare to mutiny?
"Then according to Old General Huang, how should we deal with it?" Chen Xing asked humbly.
As the other party said, the Royal Guards in the Imperial City are monolithic internally. If they arrest high-level officials for fear of mutiny, they will most likely be sidelined if they send someone to take over. Internal promotions are meaningless.
Unexpectedly, the Royal Guards of the Imperial City have become a hot potato, which is really difficult to deal with.
"I am a reckless man. He only knows how to lead troops to fight. He does not know the law or government affairs. He only knows that there is something wrong with this, but he has no solution." Huang Fengling said with a sincere attitude and a humble tone.
Even though Huang Fenglie said this, Chen Xing could actually tell that it wasn't that the other party didn't understand, but that he didn't want to participate.
As a soldier, this is a rare quality. The heart is like a bright mirror, knowing but not speaking, staying calm and keeping oneself, and not crossing the thunder pond. He is not involved in politics, but he understands the ways of the world in official circles.
No wonder it is not easy to be the commander of the Dragon Scale Guards and to be able to gain a firm foothold by the king's side.
"General Huang, do you have anything to add?" Chen Xing asked.
"Well." Huang Fenglie frowned at first, thought solemnly for a while, and finally said, "Since the Prime Minister has asked, I will be brave enough to tell the truth."
"If there is any overstep, I will just scold you, but my subordinates will have to examine themselves and accept it fully."
"Okay!" Chen Xing nodded and said, "Then you say it!" At the same time, he made a gesture of invitation.
"When the Queen came to the throne, there were many voices of opposition. In order to consolidate the foundation, black jail eagle dogs were assigned to carry out extensive searches and arrests, causing many killings."
"Although I can't bear it, I have no choice. Throughout the ages, when kings have changed, how can there be no bloodshed? When has there not been a river of blood and corpses floating thousands of miles away?"
"But now the overall situation has been decided. There will be no more lies. Even if there are any, they are as small as mosquitoes and flies and can be ignored." Huang Fenglie cupped his hands and clasped his fists, "I also ask the Prime Minister to show kindness, kill less and forgive more, and reshape the Queen's charity and love for the people." Image.”
"Only by governing the country with benevolence can we achieve long-term prosperity, peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and prosperity for all generations." "The Queen's country is stable, and the Prime Minister's reputation will last forever."
Huang Fenglie's words were genuine and sincere. They neither preached nor pressured others with morality. They only contained the kindness of the people and the innocent heart of a patriotic veteran.
Chen Xing couldn't help but feel in awe. If all the officials in the world were like this, why would they worry about the world not being peaceful and beautiful?
Chen Xing cupped his fists and performed the ancient salute, "This junior will remember what the old general said."
"Don't you dare!" Huang Fengling hurriedly raised his fists in return, "The Prime Minister has a high and powerful position. He is the head of hundreds of officials and the role model of the country. He calls himself a junior, which is embarrassing for the old man."
"It is also my personal wish to implement benevolent government, reshape the image of the Queen, quell the war, and bring peace to the people." Chen Xing said.
Huang Fenglie once again raised his hands and saluted, "The Prime Minister understands the great righteousness, which is the blessing of the people of the world."
"However," Chen Xing changed the subject, "Things that should be dealt with still need to be dealt with."
"I can promise you that I will kill as little as possible and pardon as much as possible, but treason is treason. No one can turn a blind eye and treat it as if nothing happened. The person who made the mistake cannot not pay the price!"
"The state has its own laws, and every family has its own rules. Otherwise it would be chaos, don't you think?"
Chen Xing looked at Huang Fenglie, who was silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded heavily.
"I need you to gather the troops and accompany me to the Praetorian Guard camp."
"I will handle this matter personally!"
"Yes!" Huang Fenglie straightened his back and gave a strong military salute.
Half an hour later, Huang Fenglie led the Dragon Scale Guards to surround the Imperial City Guards camp.
One of them is on the west side of the palace, and the other is on the east side, not far apart.
Faced with the siege of the Dragon Scale Guards, the Imperial Guards did not surrender. Although they had not yet shown their weapons and were brazenly resisting, they were still ready to draw their guns and fight at any time.
Chen Xing brought Huang Fengling to the gate of the camp and shouted inside, "I am the Prime Minister of Ice Blue City, Chen Xing!"
"On behalf of the Queen of Ice Blue City, I now announce that all members of the Royal City Guards are suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason. They will immediately disarm and come out for investigation!"
There was silence in the military camp, and the guards looked indifferent, as if they had not heard the words of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom.
When Huang Fenglie saw this, he looked anxious and shouted inside, "Garfield, you bastard, you made a mistake and you don't dare to face it!"
"What kind of hero can you be if you hide behind your brothers?"
"Garfield, come out!"
Huang Fenglie was getting stronger with age, and his voice was so loud that it made Chen Xing's eardrums buzz.
A Forbidden Army officer guarding the entrance of the camp stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Unless you can guarantee that you will not attack the legion commander, the brothers of the Forbidden Army will never agree!"
Chen Xing looked stern and shouted: "You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me!"
But the officer sneered, "Whether you are qualified or not is up to you."
Huang Fenglie's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted at the other party: "Little bastard, don't you want to live?"
"Okay, very good!" Chen Xing nodded, his face becoming extremely gloomy, "Then let's see if I am qualified!"
After speaking, Chen Xing raised one hand and waved vigorously.
Following his movements, the sky suddenly darkened, a dark wind blew, and dark clouds gathered.
Immediately afterwards, a huge coercion came from the sky, the air flow accelerated, and strong winds blew up, blowing sand and rocks on the ground.
Thunder crackled and rolled in.
Looking up, amidst the lightning and thunder, chariots emerged. The extremely thick nightmare horses trampled on the hoofs of fire, neighing continuously, and the air of murder was overwhelming.
Around the camp, blue lights flashed continuously. One after another figures walked out of the blue sea of light, including a female butcher holding a giant axe, an Amazon holding a lightning javelin, a black widow laughing loudly, and a semen-sucking succubus half a foot above the ground.
Their formation was loose, but their number was extremely large, as if they were endless.
Even the Imperial City Guards, known as one of the strongest troops on the surface, showed an uneasy look in front of the succubus army.
The Succubus Legion plus the Dragon Scale Guards are equivalent to three times the combat power. They have no chance of winning. This is to treat Cuilis as an ordinary king-level. If we count her strength as sixth in the Heavenly Ranking, her combat power will be multiplied by at least two, or even higher.
However, in terms of combat power conversion, the supreme strongman can only be counted as one unit regardless of his strength.
Because the Supreme Power is a strategic weapon, which is essentially the same as a nuclear bomb. No matter how powerful it is, it penetrates the soul in one shot, and it also has the ability to destroy the world.
When the destructive power reaches a certain level, the magnitude is meaningless at the strategic level, and it will destroy the world anyway.
"What are you all doing? Why don't you kneel down when you see the Prime Minister!"
A figure ran out of the camp and cursed the Forbidden Army officer at the door, "I think you are tired of living. How dare you argue with the Prime Minister? Why don't you kneel down and apologize!"
Then the other party trotted all the way and came to Chen Xing.
"Master Prime Minister, brothers know that they are wrong, please show mercy!"
The person who came was a familiar face. He smiled at Chen Xing, nodded and bowed.
The other party was one of the few people in the Imperial Guard who Chen Xing had met and worked with. It was Viscount Pacas who served as the Liaison Officer of the Imperial Guard during the Tianqin Trojan Plan.
It seems that Garfield wants to play the emotional card.
Chen Xing looked at the other party expressionlessly and said nothing.
"Sir, we know our mistake. All the brothers in the Guards know our mistake."
"We have all been deceived, confused and confused. We don't know how we ended up like this."
Seeing that Chen Xing didn't speak, Viscount Pacas kept talking alone.
"We know we were wrong, Prime Minister, we were deceived."
"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding. None of our brothers thought about going against you, Prime Minister."
"Really, it's all a misunderstanding"
Chen Xing really couldn't stand what Viscount Pacas said, so he said coldly, "Viscount Pacas" with a cold face.
"Yes, Prime Minister, I am here." Viscount Pacas said with a flattering look.
Chen Xing looked at the other party and asked slowly, "What if"
"I will kill your whole family and then tell you that this is a misunderstanding, Viscount Pacas, can you accept it?"
Chen Xing's tone was cold, and his eyes were like a knife blade scraping across his face. Viscount Pacas's expression froze, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
"From the moment you decide to betray, our friendship ends."
"Viscount Pacas, please go back and tell Garfield that there is only one way in front of you now."
"That is unconditional surrender!"
"Otherwise" Chen Xing gritted his teeth, and each word popped out from between his teeth, "I will bloodbath the royal city today!"
Viscount Pacas's face was ashen, and he was sluggish for a long time. He dragged his heavy body back to the camp like a zombie.
After a while, all the soldiers of the Imperial Guard put down their weapons and walked out of the camp with their heads in their hands.
In the next hour, Chen Xing comprehensively dealt with the Imperial Guards with lightning-fast efficiency.
First, he ordered Bai Yeliufang to lead the garrison into the Guards camp and fully receive the equipment, weapons and property left by the other party.
Half of the superior combat power of the Royal City Guards comes from high-end equipment that far exceeds that of ordinary armies. Even the most basic guards have specially customized weapons. When Chen Xing was living in the mainland, Ye Yang Bailiu spent a lot of money to buy a high-fiber combat uniform in the underground market and gave it to him.
You know, those are daily necessities for the Guards. Things that can be worn casually are valuable items for ordinary people.
Secondly, Chen Xing asked the military court to impose sentences based on the three-year sentence for soldiers and five years for junior officers.
Then notify the military of Baiye, Heque, Tianqin, Norton, and Hongsang, and ask them to send people to receive these guards and disperse them to different places for imprisonment.
Although these guards are disarmed, their combat power cannot be underestimated. It is very dangerous for them to gather together and they must serve their sentences separately.
Also, these guards are all outstanding soldiers selected from a hundred. They are dispersed to different countries. After serving their sentences in the future, they can be absorbed into the local army as appropriate, but the prerequisite is that their ideological reform is good, and they are not allowed to be promoted to officers within ten years. .
Next is the treatment of mid- to high-level officers.
Except for a few chief offenders, the middle and high-level officers were taken over by Aqiaomu, secretly escorted to Sanchahe City, and handed over to Ye Yang Bailiu. Finally, they were taken over by the Red Dragon, Black Feather, Silver Claw, and Water Weasel military and were scattered and imprisoned with a prison term of It ranges from five to ten years.
The first criminal, Marquis Garfield Victor, several of his cronies, and the two deputy commanders were sentenced to life imprisonment for treason and were placed under the control of the Holy Light Church. They joined the Atonement Monastery and were never allowed to leave.
Some sinners with higher status and stronger strength are usually absorbed by the three major faiths, perform post-mortem practice, and wander around the edges of the world to resist the mysterious threat from the void.
The three major places of death are the Atonement Monastery of the Holy Light Holy See, the Tongren Alley of the New Zen Sect, and the Library of the Dead of the Supreme God Sect. Wei Haitang, the former leader of the Silver Claw Kingdom, went to the Tongren Alley of the New Zen Sect and became a Tongren. A member of the human warrior monks.
Chen Xing followed the agreement with Huang Fengling to kill less and pardon more. Basically, no one would be killed without a knife, but the Royal Guards of the Imperial City, which had a history of hundreds of years, disappeared overnight.
How can a couch lying on its side allow others to sleep soundly!
Should we keep them until the fourth prince comes to fight again?
Anyone who does this must be crazy.
Although the result was a bit regretful, Old General Huang Fenglie was already very satisfied. This was much better than he expected.
In the past, with Trilis's character, at least half of these people would have died. Not only will the body be hung on the city wall in humiliation, but the family members will be implicated, property will be confiscated, and they will be left on the streets.
In such comparison, Chen Xing's handling is already quite merciful.
After learning of this result, Garfield asked the Bishop of Binglan City to send a letter to Chen Xing before leaving.
Dear Prime Minister:
After learning about the results of your treatment of the Praetorian Guards, I regretted it.
Very regretful.
I don't regret that I ended up like this. I regret that I missed the wise minister and wise king.
Here, I would like to solemnly apologize to you. It was my ignorance and shallowness that made me make the wrong choice!
You are a very good leader, broad-minded, wise and tolerant.
You are a great star hanging in the night sky of Ambergris River. Please don't change your original intention because of my fault.
May the kingdom be prosperous and prosperous under your governance.
——The Sinner Garfield Victor Part 1
