Chapter 255 A Different Way to Manage the World
In Ruyang City, the news that more than a thousand people attempted to assassinate Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Yanyan, but were killed counterattack by Xie Yanyan and Zhou Shaoyu soon spread back to Kyoto.
Zhou Xiaocheng looked at the news that came:
1. The assassin has no trace, no one has seen him alive, and no one has seen his body dead;
2. Zhou's army has arrived at Ruyang City;
3. Selling soup cakes on Zhujia Street in Yongning County
These were nothing. The last piece of news made Zhou Xiaocheng's face change drastically: Ruyang City hung up the flag of the "Jiuzhou Empire" and announced that it belonged to the "Jiuzhou Empire".
"Is this Jingchen's idea?"
"It seems to be a joint idea of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
"Don't tell me about the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. Jingchen has not been named the Crown Prince. He is not the Crown Prince, and Xie is not the Crown Princess."
Zhou Xiaocheng was so angry that his face turned green. You Jingchen, you Xie Yanyan, I gave you the prince and princess, but you didn't want them. Instead, you wanted to steal my girls and subvert my world!
"Pass on my decree, conferring upon the prince Zhou Yan the title of Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, opening the ancestral temple, offering sacrifices, and establishing the crown prince."
"Gather the troops and go to Ruyang City to kill the traitor Xie and his gang."
"Then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Zhou Xiaocheng thought that Zhou Shaoyu had not been raised by his side since childhood and was not close to him. Just because he was asked to marry a few more concubines, he gave up his position as the crown prince and joined forces with a woman to overthrow his father's kingdom. This was unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust.
Kill! I don’t want this son anymore.
The princess has been crowned queen, the ceremony of crowning her queen has been held, and now she is the queen of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhou Yan's mother, Zhuge, was now named the vice empress, whose status was second only to her, and the vice empress had a prince by her side.
When the queen heard that Zhou Xiaocheng wanted to make Zhou Yan the crown prince, she was angry but could do nothing about it.
Her son was not a good person and she worked hard for half her life, but in the end she failed miserably.
"My lady, something bad has happened." Wusong came running over, her face pale. "The eunuch just heard a piece of news."
The queen said calmly, "Tell me, I can bear it. What could be worse than this? At most, I will die."
"Your Majesty, the decree was issued to confer the title of Crown Prince on the Third Prince, and troops were sent to kill the First Prince."
The Queen jumped up all of a sudden: "What did you say? He sent troops to hunt down Jingchen?"
"Yes, Madam, the eunuch Sicha heard it all."
The Queen immediately ran to the front hall and approached Zhou Xiaocheng without hesitation. She suppressed her anger and fear and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to kill Jingchen?"
"It's not me who wants to kill him, it's him who wants to kill me and overthrow the Tang Dynasty!" Zhou Xiaocheng said angrily, "Zhuge Dan followed me all his life, but he wanted his granddaughter to be a concubine for the crown prince, so he killed Zhuge Dan's entire family."
"It wasn't Jingchen who killed him! He's gone, how could he have killed him?"
"He can come back even if he leaves! Didn't you see the blade? Only Xie's precious sword can make such a neat blade."
"Then you can't kill your son. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. He just killed Zhuge Dan. Zhuge Dan wanted to poison you with a packet of medicine. What's the point of killing him?"
"Who gave you the courage to roar in front of me? Get out, or else." Zhou Xiaocheng shouted, "Take the queen back to the central palace. No one is allowed to come out without permission. She will be confined for half a year."
The Queen was dragged back to the palace. She slammed the door and cried, "Zhou Xiaocheng, you can't be so cruel. He was taken hostage at the age of 7 and brought peace to the entire palace for ten years. How could you kill him?"
No one paid any attention to her.
Five days later, Zhou Xiaocheng's royal army gathered in Ruyang City.
The person leading the troops was none other than Zhang Feng, the general whom Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Yanyan met when they first entered the palace.
Zhang Feng was also very troubled. The emperor had a fight with his only legitimate son and asked him to kill him. He was worried that if he killed Zhou Shaoyu, he would not have a good ending.
But the king's order cannot be disobeyed.
He stood at the foot of Ruyang City, looking at the flags hung along the road in Ruyang City - the flag of the Kyushu Empire. He also saw the guards rushing out with deafening shouts of killing, led by the majestic 3,000 Zhou family soldiers. He felt indescribable.
The Zhou Family Army is Zhou Jingchen's personal guard, a team armed by the Princess of Yongning County. It is said that they can defeat one hundred or even more than a hundred enemies.
But you have to fight.
Xie Yanyan also came, and Zhang Feng persuaded her: "Princess Yongning, you have helped the Nanhai Palace and His Majesty. His Majesty values you very much. Why do you have to follow the rebels and make mistakes?"
Xie Yanyan ignored him so much. The grudge between her and Zhou Xiaocheng could not be explained in one sentence.
"General Zhang Feng, go back. You can't beat me. Even if all of you go into battle, you still can't beat me!"
Zhang Feng thought that every time he saw Princess Yongning, she never took action. Did she have any martial arts skills?
Xie Yanyan proposed: "How about this, you fight with me, and if I beat you within a quarter of an hour, you will join me, how about that?"
"It is impossible for me to join you, and Ruyang City is not allowed to join your Jiuzhou Empire. The county lady had better leave as soon as possible."
Xie Yanyan said: "Then stop talking nonsense. I will fight you alone. Don't let so many people be buried with you. Look, people are almost extinct, and you are still fighting?"
She is going down to fight with Zhang Feng. Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Anfeng are worried because Xie Yanyan has her own secrets, but she has no combat experience!
Xie Yanyan said: "Just watch, don't even think about a quarter of an hour, I can take him down immediately."
She asked Zhang Feng what kind of person he was.
Zhou Shaoyu said that he was an okay person, he could fight, he was loyal, and he could care about the people.
After hearing this, Xie Yanyan rode over with only a rope in his hand.
"General Zhang Feng, let me make a bet with you. If I win, how about you come with me?"
"You can't win!" Zhang Feng was very angry. How could a general admit defeat?
"Well, let's do it!"
Xie Yanyan said, "Shut up and stop talking nonsense."
Zhang Feng wondered whether he should kill her with a knife to put an end to it all and save His Majesty from having to deal with it so easily.
But when he was about to chop her, the knife disappeared!
In the blink of an eye, he saw the knife on Xie Yanyan's horse.
Xie Yanyan blew a bamboo whistle and Zhang Feng fell to the ground with a plop. He was riding on a horse, but the horse suddenly disappeared. His legs were split on the ground. Oh my god, his legs were split and the tendons of his thighs and calves were forced to stretch.
"Ah~" He was almost in so much pain.
I didn't know what was going on, but the rope in Xie Yanyan's hand was tied around him.
In less than a quarter of an hour, it was a complete defeat.
"Are you convinced?"
"You cheated!"
Xie Yanyan asked: "How can you be used by me?"
"I can't possibly be used by you, you witch!" Zhang Feng cursed, "You use witchcraft, you are a witch!"
"Well, I'm a fairy, a very powerful fairy."
Zhang Feng was tied up and hung on a flagpole near the city, swaying in the wind.
Zhou Shaoyu said to the tens of thousands of soldiers he brought with him, "Stop fighting. You can't beat us. General Zhang Feng is hanging up there. Whoever wants to rescue him can do it."
Those people tried their best to climb up, only to find that the knotted rope was so strong that it seemed like it was welded to their bodies and they couldn't untie it no matter how hard they tried.
"General Zhang Feng, are you convinced? It doesn't matter if you're not convinced for now!" Xie Yanyan cut his rope and watched him fall with a grimace in his eyes.
"Carry it to the conference room!"
