Chapter 210: They are about to pierce the sky of Nanzhao

With Wei Shi taking the lead, everyone else agreed.

As princes, how could they not want to be emperor?

Although they themselves have no way of becoming emperor, their sons have hope, which is also good!

As for whether Wei Zhao will deny it at that time?

If Wei Zhao doesn't have a son, he won't be able to cheat!

The deal was done and everyone was happy.

Only after Wei Shi and others had left did Yu Youning begin to applaud.

The crisp applause echoed in the imperial study.

"Wei Zhao, you were so majestic just now! You really looked like an emperor!"

Wei Zhao smiled and said nothing.

But in his heart, he still said something.

No matter how much he looks like a real emperor, as long as he is in front of her, he will always be her slave!

-

Wei Zhao's arrogance and ruthlessness shocked all the officials.

Before they could react, when they went to court on the sixth day of the first lunar month, the princes of the clan took the lead, and some officials echoed them, and brought up the issue of women remarrying again.

This time, half of the people agreed.

This time, Wei Zhao even issued an imperial decree that anyone who dared to have any evil intentions or attack concubines who had left the palace would be executed along with all nine generations of his family if caught.

If Wei Zhao had said this before, no one would have taken it seriously.

But now, the situation is completely different.

Wei Zhao's attitude of killing at will made them understand that although the new emperor is young, he must not be underestimated!

After leaving the court, Zheng Yunliang's loyal followers secretly went to Zheng Yunliang's house.

Several people sat down in the secret room behind the study. There was tea on the table. Zheng Yunliang stood up and poured it for them personally.

Everyone was flattered and raised their teacups to drink with Zheng Yunliang.

After drinking most of the tea, Zheng Yunliang asked about what happened in the morning court today.

At the beginning, Zheng Yunliang still had a smile on his face.

But after hearing the rest, the smile on his face gradually disappeared and his expression became distorted.

"That's simply too much!"

"He was clearly the most lowly and humble of all the princes, and only became emperor through sheer luck."

"Once you gain power, you no longer take us old ministers seriously!"

"Since he is so ungrateful, just kill him!"

"With so many princes, I don't believe we can't find an obedient one!"

Zheng Yunliang's words were simply treasonous.

If you say something like this secretly and quietly, you'd be worried that someone might be eavesdropping.

But Zheng Yunliang was shouting loudly at this time, without any concealment.

The other people were also very excited and stood up one after another.

"Master Zheng is right!"

"We will always follow Master Zheng!"

"We will do whatever Lord Zheng says!"

Zheng Yunliang pulled out the knife from the scalpel rack and raised it high above his head. "Alright! Let's go now! Charge into the palace! Kill the little emperor! And establish a new emperor!"

"I think Lord Zheng is very suitable to be the new king!"

"Master Zheng has made tremendous contributions over the years; he is truly the reincarnation of a saint!"

Zheng Yunliang's face flushed red, his expression excited. "Since you have nominated me so highly, I will definitely not let you down! Let's go! Charge! Follow me to the palace! Take the life of the little emperor!"

After Zheng Yunliang shouted, he ran to the door first and rushed out first.

Several other people also drew their knives from the knife rack and ran out with Zheng Yunliang.

When the servants of the Zheng family saw this scene, they were so scared that they ran away in all directions.

Someone told Zheng Yunliang's wife, and she rushed over with her sons.

Mrs. Zheng noticed something was wrong and wanted someone to stop Zheng Yunliang.

But Zheng Yunliang wielded the big knife with great force, and he would chop down anyone who dared to approach him.

Servants are also human beings. Faced with such a scene, they naturally dare not step forward.

While the servants were still hesitating, Zheng Chenggong and his companions had already successfully escaped from the Zheng family.

Several people were holding knives and stumbling as they ran, scaring the people.

Although Zheng Yunliang was not wearing court robes, many people in the capital knew him.

Several other officials had not had time to change out of their official uniforms. Even if I didn't know who they were specifically, I knew their official positions.

The commotion was so loud that naturally someone from the government came.

However, due to the identities of Zheng Yunliang and others, and the fact that they were holding knives in their hands, there was no way to catch them directly. They could only surround them first to prevent them from hurting ordinary people.

Although the people were afraid, they were even more curious. They did not retreat, but watched from afar.

Just then, there was another commotion behind the crowd.

When everyone looked over, the common people didn't recognize him, but the guards did and immediately knelt down to salute.

"Your Highness!"

"Meet the princess!"

The people were shocked.

It turned out to be the emperor and the princess?

While being surprised, he also knelt down and kowtowed.

Wei Zhao waved his hand. "Everyone, stand up. What on earth is going on? The princess and I were out for a stroll, and I didn't expect to encounter something like this."

"Your Majesty, we have no idea what happened. Zheng Da...Mr. Zheng and several other officials suddenly rushed out with knives..."

Before he could finish his words, Zheng Yunliang saw Wei Zhao.

When enemies meet, they are especially jealous of each other!

Zheng Yunliang pointed the knife in his hand at Wei Zhao, "You bastard emperor! Give me your life!"

Several other officials also pointed their knives at Wei Zhao.

"Kill this little emperor and let Mr. Zheng be crowned emperor!"

"The little emperor knows nothing, yet he dares to let the widow remarry! My widow daughter-in-law is so charming and charming, and she's a great pleasure in bed. If she can remarry, how can I continue to enjoy her?"

"I assassinated those concubines last time and warned the young emperor, but he still won't change. This time, I'll just kill him!"

Several people were talking non-stop, and every word they said was shocking to the world.

Whether it was the guards or the common people who heard these words, their pupils trembled.

It was them who assassinated the concubines before!

He is obviously an official with a high position, but he actually forced his widowed daughter-in-law!

Zheng Yunliang looked like a decent person before, but he actually had the guts to rebel!

No wonder the emperor executed three of Zheng Yunliang’s disciples on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It seems that these three were not good people either!

The people's initial shock quickly turned into resentment and anger.

They have spoken out so many evil things, so aren't there more things that are unknown to the public?

Such a dog official must be killed!

I don’t know who shouted first, but the voices gradually became more frequent and louder.

Finally, all the people began to shout.

"Kill the dog official!"

“Kill them!”

"Kill the dog official!"

“Kill them!”

...

Wei Zhao's expression was heavy. He closed his eyes, letting the people quiet down before asking Zheng Yunliang, "Zheng Yunliang, I want to ask you, are you aware of what they just said? Were you involved?"

Zheng Yunliang sneered, "What do you mean I was involved? They were all following my orders! You dog emperor—"

Wei Zhao shook his head in disappointment.

"Originally, I thought you hadn't done those things, so I wanted to give you another chance."

"Now it seems that my heart was misplaced after all!"

"You want to kill me, but I can still forgive you."

"But you harmed the people and allowed your disciples to insult your daughter-in-law!"

“It’s simply unforgivable!”

"Archers, follow my command and release your arrows!"

As the words "release" were spoken, arrows shot towards Zheng Yunliang and his companions like a tide.

In an instant, several people were pierced like sieves and fell limply to the ground.

Wei Zhao sighed, "Confiscate all their property. Release the innocent and provide compensation. The rest must be thoroughly investigated. Anyone who has committed crimes and committed murder for money will be executed immediately!"

Their nine clans will not be allowed to take the imperial examinations or serve as officials in the imperial court for three generations!"

Wei Zhao's decree not only did not make people feel that he was cold-blooded and ruthless, but the people even applauded, which was really gratifying.

Wei Zhao did not stay here any longer and soon left with Yu Youning.

It was not until they returned to the private room where they had dinner that Yu Youning finally smiled. "I didn't expect the poison I made this time would have such a strange effect!"

Instead of poisoning people to death directly, it aroused their animal nature, made them crazy, revealed their ambitions, and told everything they had done.

They said these things in person in front of the people and were killed on the spot. This not only solved Wei Zhao's biggest worry, but also won the hearts of the people.

It’s simply killing two birds with one stone!

Wei Zhao bowed to Yu Youning, "Thank you, Youning! If it weren't for your help, we wouldn't have been able to deal with them so easily without any hidden dangers!"

Yu Youning smiled and waved his hand, "You don't have to be so polite. Besides, this poison wasn't made by me alone. My junior brother also helped a lot!"

Wei Zhao looked at Jiang Lingzhou and bowed as well, "Thank you, Junior Brother!"

Jiang Lingzhou, "Who is your junior brother?"

"You are Youning's junior brother, so naturally you are also my junior brother!"

Jiang Lingzhou, "..."

Chu Huaixu looked at them and said, "Stop thanking me and sit down to eat!"

Yu Youning immediately sat down next to Chu Huaixu, "Eat, eat! I'm hungry!"

Wei Zhao also looked at Chu Huaixu at this time, "Thank you for what happened today!"

The successful placement of the poison into Zheng Yunliang's teapot was thanks to the secret guards surrounding Chu Huaixu.

Chu Huaixu smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. It's just something that happens to me."

Given their relationship, it's only right for him to offer a small favor!

Yu Youning and the others were enjoying their meal. In the palace, Yu Tingwan learned from Qinglong what had happened today, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

"They are so brave!"

"If we let them continue to fight together, they will destroy the entire Nanzhao!"

Wen Shiyan quickly patted the back of Yu Tingwan's hand, "Tingwan, it's not that bad! It really isn't that bad!"

Yu Tingwan glared at Wen Shiyan, "Why not? It's all because of you!"
