Volume 1 Chapter 121 Fu Yi Chen Xing
Zhao Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately waved his battle robe and got on the carriage.
The marching team continued to enter the city. Xiang Yun in the carriage had a calm expression with his eyes closed, and did not even look at Zhao Zhong.
Zhao Zhong seemed a little reserved. Since the emperor didn't ask him, he didn't want to say much.
The carriage moved forward slowly. Xiang Yun closed his eyes and rested for ten minutes before asking, "What are your plans for the future?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhong immediately replied: "I am willing to follow your majesty to fight on the battlefield and serve as your majesty's vanguard!"
Xiang Yun still closed his eyes, shook his head slightly and said: "It is enough for me to lead the army in person once. If you follow me, you will not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield. You can only be a guard."
"Ah? You want him to be a guard, right?"
Zhao Zhong was obviously stunned for a while, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, don't you know what happened in the dynasty?"
Xiang Yun's originally calm expression suddenly froze, his brows slightly wrinkled, and then he opened his eyes and asked in a cold voice: "What kind of things could happen in the Great Sun Dynasty?"
Zhao Zhong quickly stood up and knelt on one knee in front of Xiang Yun in the carriage: "Your Majesty, during your Majesty's personal expedition, the eighteen armies of the Great Sun Dynasty rose up in rebellion. Four months ago, they each crowned themselves kings and sent troops to the capital!"
Xiang Yun's body trembled. It was obvious that he had not received any news. He was about to get angry, but after thinking about it, he stopped. He just said in a bad tone, "Of course I know about this matter. What do you want to do by bringing this up to me?"
Zhao Zhong quickly said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve as your vanguard and quell the rebellion!"
Xiang Yun nodded thoughtfully: "I see, so I was planning to make you the Mahayana King and take over the territory of Mahayana Treasure Country for me. Since you are willing to be the vanguard, then be the vanguard first. We will talk about this later. Back off!"
"Ah?" Zhao Zhong was even more stunned: "Become a king?"
Zhao Zhong asked quickly, "Your Majesty, are you saying that you have conquered the entire Mahayana Kingdom?"
Xiang Yun nodded calmly: "Back off!"
Zhao Zhong trembled. This was the second time Xiang Yun said this. He didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately got out of the carriage.
It was not until he was outside the street and saw Xiang Yun's carriage going away that Zhao Zhong finally reacted. He immediately slapped himself hard several times and cursed: "What the hell are you capable of? How could His Majesty treat you unfairly? You actually ran up to him to take credit for it. Aren't you asking for trouble?"
Zhao Zhong was now regretting his decision to the very point of his intestines turning green. He had originally thought that there were rebellious kings everywhere in the Great Sun Dynasty and the Emperor must be panicking. If he went up to show his loyalty at this time, he would definitely be valued!
If, under his leadership, the various anti-king forces were really destroyed and Xiang Yun's throne was preserved, then he would definitely be able to become a general because of his military merits, and might even be granted a title of nobility!
But he actually threw away the throne of the Mahayana King for this illusory title of marquis!
Zhao Zhong really wanted to kill himself with a knife!
Now not only did he lose his throne, but he also had to fight wars all day long!
Xiang Yun naturally did this on purpose. Oh, when rebel kings appear in various places, you immediately come over to show your loyalty and act as a pioneer!
Oh, in your opinion, I am at the end of my rope now and I have to use you, right?
Xiang Yun would never indulge him, so naturally he would leave him alone.
As soon as Zhao Zhong left the carriage, Xiang Yun's face immediately turned cold. He said in a deep voice alone in the carriage: "The eighteen rebel kings in the dynasty are rebelling. Why didn't you report such a major event!"
Suddenly, a secret compartment opened at the bottom of the carriage, and a masked man in a black robe came out. On his black robe was a silver word "Dark" embroidered on it.
The Anbu member immediately knelt on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, the Anbu has received news that the Great Sun Dynasty is safe and sound, and there is no rebellion!"
Xiang Yun frowned when he heard this. It didn't make sense that the intelligence from the Anbu would be inconsistent with Zhao Zhong's words. There was no reason for Zhao Zhong to lie to him, the emperor, just to show his loyalty. This was a capital crime!
Then the only one with problems might be the Anbu!
Xiang Yun suddenly remembered that he had not received any memorials from the three prime ministers for a long time, and even the military supplies for their army of more than 200,000 had not been seen for a long time!
After thinking it over carefully, Xiang Yun immediately confirmed: "Go and investigate it yourself. If the rebellion is true, immediately investigate the members of the Anbu who sent this message. There must be a traitor among them. Get rid of them!"
After receiving the order, the man in black immediately disappeared.
If the rebellion of the eighteen rebel kings made Xiang Yun angry, then the rebellion of the dark members touched Xiang Yun's reverse scale.
The Anbu is the foundation for him to control the entire world, and there must not be any problems!
I treated you so well, yet you betrayed me. You made a vow to me in the beginning. Can my Anbu come and go as they please?
The good mood after winning the battle was gone, and Xiang Yun directly ordered to move into the City Lord's Mansion of Jingu City.
The city lord's official title was Fu Yi. As soon as Xiang Yun came in, he shouted in a stern voice, "Where is Fu Yi from Jingu City? I have been here for so long, why hasn't he come to see me? Does he want me to go see him?"
Zhao Zhong, who had been following behind him, said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, Jin Gu Mansion's Yita... is also hesitant because of the rebellion of the kings in various places. It seems... that he is not going to be loyal to Your Majesty!"
"If I hadn't always held on to the military power of Jingu City, I'm afraid he would have declared himself king long ago!"
"How dare you!" Xiang Yun was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted, "This is simply lawless. I am not even dead yet, when did even a small Fu Yi dare to look down on me!"
"Big Pancake, lead the troops and capture him for me!"
The new mayor of Jingu City is named Shen Xing, only 30 years old. He was originally the chief clerk of Qiutan City near Xiyuan City. He has always had a good reputation in Qiutan City. He seldom shows his power to the people. He is friendly and very popular among the people.
Although the Left Prime Minister Zhu Qiyu had never met him in person, he had heard of his fame. In addition, his position was very close to Jingu City, so he proposed that he be appointed as the governor of Jingu City.
Because the imperial court was so short of manpower, it was difficult to consider details such as whether the candidates were loyal to the Great Sun Dynasty when selecting people.
In fact, it is not just Jingu City. Newly appointed officials from all over the Da Ri Dynasty have more or less some problems. This is also a helpless move, but the three prime ministers can at least ensure that these people serve the country and the people and do not oppress the people.
When Xuanyuan Dabing found Shen Xing, he was on the streets of Jingu City, directing large numbers of people to repair new roads and buildings.
Even when Xuanyuan Dabing stood behind Shen Xing, he continued working as if he hadn't noticed.
Xuanyuan Dabing’s expression also looked a little unhappy, and he immediately scolded: “Chen Xing, the emperor has arrived in the city, why don’t you go to see him!”
Chen Xing then stopped what he was doing, turned his head and looked at Da Bing and the others in confusion, frowned and said: "Where did you come from, you ruffian? Can't you see that I'm working? If you have anything to say, wait until I'm free to talk!"
"Hmph, I'm afraid you don't have a chance. I'm here to capture you on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor!" Xuanyuan Dabing waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately mobilized: "Capture him for me!"
"What do you want to do? I am the governor of Jingu City. How dare you arrest me? Are you planning to rebel?"
The people brought by Xuanyuan Dabing were all personal soldiers who were extremely loyal to Xiang Yun. They didn't care about Shen Xing's power and status. The four soldiers simply carried Shen Xing away, completely ignoring how he shouted.
In the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiang Yun sat on the main seat, looking coldly at Chen Xing who was kneeling in the hall, and scolded: "As a minister of the Great Sun Dynasty, why don't you come to see me!"
Chen Xing was not afraid at all. Instead, he raised his head proudly and said confidently: "As the governor of Jingu City, my duty is to manage Jingu City well and benefit the people. There is no requirement in my duty to go out of the city to welcome the emperor!"
"There is no law that states that Fu Yi is breaking the law if he does not leave the city to welcome the emperor!"
Chen Xing suddenly asked: "On the contrary, I want to ask His Majesty the Emperor, Chen Xing is handling government affairs in the city, I don't know what law he has violated, and he wants to tie Chen Xing up here under the gaze of all the people!"
These words were well-reasoned and made Xiang Yun's face look extremely gloomy.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise and bustle outside the City Lord's Mansion. Xiang Yun asked hurriedly, "What's going on, Da Bing? Go out and take a look!"
Before Xuanyuan Dabing could walk out, he saw a large number of people from Jingu City running in, but they were immediately blocked outside the lobby by the Xuanjia Army soldiers.
Xiang Yun frowned, waved his hand and said, "Stop making so much noise, let them in!"
All of a sudden, these common people filed in. A middle-aged man asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Sun Dynasty, I wonder what Lord Fu Yi has done wrong that you want to arrest him for?"
The common people behind him immediately shouted, "Your Majesty, please forgive Lord Fu Yi's sins. He is a very good man!"
"Lord Fuyi is devoted to the people, please show some mercy, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xing quickly stood up and shouted at them: "Everyone, please go back quickly. This is not a place for you to come. I appreciate your kindness to me. I believe that His Majesty the Emperor is wise and will not punish me. Please go back!"
However, Shen Xing's words did not have any effect. Instead, they made the common people look towards Xiang Yun one by one, hoping to get words of pardon for Shen Xing.
Xiang Yun immediately snorted coldly: "How dare you! Who allowed you to get up? Kneel down before me!"
Unexpectedly, Chen Xing remained unmoved and even took two steps forward, clasping his hands and preparing to say some more rational remarks. However, Xiang Yun only waved his hand lightly, and Xuanyuan Pancake immediately rushed forward and kicked Chen Xing to his knees.
Shen Xing immediately groaned in pain, but didn't dare to say anything more.
But the common people behind Shen Xing were not happy with this move, and they immediately shouted, "Why are you doing this? Lord Shen is such a good official, why are you hitting him?"
"That's right. Lord Shen is dedicated to the people. Your Majesty, it would be fine if you didn't reward him, but you actually punished him. You are truly a tyrant!"
Xiang Yun was extremely angry when he heard the word "tyrant". He slammed the table and a large number of Black Armor Army soldiers rushed up and surrounded the common people.
