Volume 1, Chapter 126: The Cruelty of the Great Zhou Emperor, Yang Wudi Enters the Capital

What!

Not only does the Great Zhou have to withdraw its troops immediately, but Yue Shenqiang must also be killed!

The conditions of the Northern Liang Imperial Master made all the generals change their expressions.

These two conditions are too harsh.

"Damn it, how bold!"

"Get out!"

The generals roared.

If it weren't for the fact that the Beiliang National Master in front of them was a cultivator, and a cultivator comparable to the Three Priests, the generals really wanted to beat him to death.

Not to mention the military generals were angry, even the civil officials could not accept such conditions.

Immediately, the Minister of Personnel stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we cannot agree to his conditions. After we conquer Beiliang, the territory of the Great Zhou will expand rapidly, and we will surely go down in history."

What the civil officials want is a good reputation both before and after their death.

Moreover, after taking over Beiliang, there will be vast lands waiting for the civil officials to divide them up. If they just do some tricks, they can make a fortune.

Moreover, they can also confiscate the property of the Beiliang nobles and officials.

It can be said that as long as Beiliang is conquered, these civil officials from top to bottom will definitely become rich for three to ten generations.

This is the huge benefit brought by the achievement of destroying a country.

But if the conditions of the Northern Liang Imperial Master were agreed to, the only one who would benefit would be the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and the civil officials would not gain any benefit at all.

They won't agree to that.

But the Emperor of the Great Zhou did not want these. He was already the ruler of the Great Zhou and was rich enough to rival a country. Wealth had no value to him.

What is truly valuable to him is the way to immortality!

The Emperor of Great Zhou looked at the Changchun Pill in the hands of the Northern Liang State Master, swallowed hard and said, "I can order Yue Shenqiang to withdraw from the Northern Liang territory."

"But isn't it a bit too much to ask to shoot Yue Shen to death?"

"He is a great hero of our Great Zhou! I cannot explain this to all my subjects!"

In fact, the Emperor of the Great Zhou has already made up his mind. This time, I will trick the Changchun Pill into my hands first, and then continue to attack Beiliang later. Isn't that it!

He secretly gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness.

Beiliang State Master snorted coldly, then directly pinched the Changchun Pill in half and said with a smile:

"Since you are unwilling to kill Yue Shenqiang, you can only get half of the Changchun Pill."

"And the half you get is incomplete, so you can only increase your lifespan by 50 years."

"It's up to you to decide how to choose."

He didn't force it. After all, he wanted the Great Zhou to withdraw its troops first and save the Northern Liang Kingdom.

Moreover, the Northern Liang State Master did not believe that the Emperor of the Great Zhou could resist the temptation of immortality.

Longevity is what everyone dreams of.

Especially the emperor!

He directly handed half of the pills to the Emperor of the Great Zhou.

this!

The Emperor of the Great Zhou had a rather grim expression on his face.

If he gets the complete Changchun Pill, he can increase his lifespan by 300 years, but if he gets half of it, he can only increase his lifespan by 50 years.

The gap is too big.

Finally, the Great Zhou Emperor gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, kill him if you want! It's just a Yue Shen Spear, so if he dies, he dies."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole court was in an uproar.

Everyone stared at the Emperor of Great Zhou with disbelief. Even the three priests had a cold light flash in their eyes, but in the end, they did not utter a word.

Because he cannot participate in court decisions.

As long as the affairs in the court did not threaten the life and death of the royal family of the Great Zhou, he could not intervene. This was the order given to him by the Grand Priest.

After all, the royal family of the Great Zhou only worshipped the emperor, not him.

Their goal is not to dominate the mortal dynasty, but to achieve immortality, complete their broken bodies, and become real men.

The Great Priest is in seclusion now, but he is the ancestor of the three priests, and his skills have reached the pinnacle of this world.

He dared not disobey the words of the chief priest.

The three worshippers don’t speak, but that doesn’t mean others don’t speak.

General Cao Changqiu shouted angrily, "Your Majesty, Yue Shenqiang defeated Beiliang and made great achievements. You actually want to kill the meritorious officials for your own immortality?"

"Aren't you afraid that people all over the world will be disappointed?"

He was so angry at this tyrant that he died.

At this time, all the military generals came out one after another, staring at the Emperor of the Great Zhou with their fierce eyes, wishing they could beat this tyrant to death on the spot.

The Emperor of the Great Zhou also felt a chill on his neck, but when he thought of the way to immortality, he became ruthless again and strengthened his mind.

You know, according to the calculations of the three priests, his body, hollowed out by alcohol and sex, would end in three years at most.

For three years, he pampered women every day, but he didn't get much.

Now is his only chance.

He doesn't care about that.

He ignored everyone and roared:

"Come here, pass on my decree. Issue a golden order immediately and order Yue Shenqiang to withdraw his troops and return to the capital to report on his work!"

"Order the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to jointly search and confiscate Yue Shenqiang's residence. Yue Shenqiang must be convicted!"

The tone of the Emperor of Great Zhou left no room for doubt.

He simply ignored the generals in the court who were glaring at him.

At this moment, the civil officials looked at each other and felt that this result was not so difficult to accept.

After all, if Yue Shenqiang really destroys the Northern Liang Dynasty this time, his achievements will be so great that they will shock the emperor.

The power of the military generals will far exceed that of the civil officials. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we can eliminate Yang Wudi and Yue Shenqiang, who have made great contributions among the military generals.

Then how can military generals fight against civil officials in the future?

As to whether Yue Shenqiang is wrong or not, the answer is definitely no.

But wouldn't it be enough if we just frame him?

The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple are the best at this kind of thing!

Just make up a trumped-up charge and throw Yue Shenqiang into jail, and then sentence him to death.

If that doesn't work, then arrest Yue Shenqiang's men and torture them to extract confessions. There will always be some people who can't stand the torture and will bite people indiscriminately.

Thinking of this, the civil officials all accepted the order.

Before the court was dismissed, officials from the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple and the palace guards surrounded Yue's mansion.

When the old princess of the Yue family heard the news, she was so angry that she cursed: "What a tyrant, what a tyrant!"

As she said this, the old lady got so angry that she threw the phoenix crown on her head directly to the ground.

The people around were also cursing angrily, but the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice and the guards in front of the palace remained unmoved. No matter how people cursed, they still brought people to search Yue's mansion immediately.

All the servants and guards of the Yue Mansion were taken to the prison, and anyone who dared to resist would be killed on the spot!

Of course the guards of Yue Mansion could not stand this and drew their swords to resist. More than 20 guards died at once.

Finally, the old lady sighed and said, "Don't resist. If the king orders me to die, I have to die!"

As she spoke, the remaining soldiers gnashed their teeth and put down their weapons, staring at the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, the palace guards and others and said:

"When my Marshal comes back, I will make you pay for your blood debt with blood!"

Those people laughed and shook their heads, saying, "We're just afraid that Yue Shenqiang won't dare to come back!"

With a wave of his hand, he took everyone away and threw the evidence they had prepared to frame him into Prince Yue's mansion.

…………

5 days later.

Honghua City.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict came in a hurry.

Yang Wudi, Yang Paifeng, Yang Tianbao and others led all the generals of Honghua City to receive the order.

The eunuch who delivered the decree opened the imperial edict and read with a smile:

"The Emperor's decree!"

"Yang Wudi has made great contributions in killing the enemy, but he has been stationed in Honghua City for many years and cannot return to Beijing."

"Now that the battle on the front line is over, Honghua City is as stable as a rock."

"Therefore, the court officials have decided to transfer Yang Wudi, the great general who fought against the Xiongnu, back to the capital to report on his work, and to discuss the matter of conferring a title of king on Yang Wudi."

When this decree was read out, Yang Wudi himself was dumbfounded.

He thought that the Emperor of the Great Zhou would issue an edict to punish him, so why would he reward himself?

Even Bai Qi was stunned. When did the Emperor of Zhou change his personality?

At this time, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict smiled like a chrysanthemum, and bowed to Yang Wudi and congratulated him, "Marshal Yang has been crowned a king this time. It seems that our Great Zhou will have another prince in the future! I would like to congratulate you first!"

Yang Tianbao, Yang Paifeng, and many other generals of the Yang family were extremely excited at this time. They used to think that someone in Yue's army could be crowned king, but they didn't expect that this time they, the Yang family army, could also be crowned king for their merits.

Yang Paifeng even specially gave the young eunuch ten taels of silver, and the young eunuch quickly put it in his sleeve, and then said to Bai Qi beside him: "General Bai Qi, the emperor has also rewarded you!"

Having said that, he began to read out the decree to Bai Qi.

"General Bai Qi was promoted to the third rank. While Yang Wudi is in Beijing to report on his duties, he will replace Yang Wudi and guard Honghua City."

After receiving this series of rewards, even Bai Qi could not figure out what the Emperor of Zhou wanted to do.

But at this moment, the system's voice sounded in his mind.

[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have completed the task of being promoted to a military rank, and your military rank has been promoted three levels in a row! 】
