Chapter 76: Equal Creation and Death for All



Whenever Guifeng opened the food box and ate the pastries made by Chi An.

Fu Guang asked tentatively: "General, can you give me a piece of lotus crisp? This lotus crisp looks delicious."

Gui Feng glanced at Fu Guang and moved the food box further away: "This is what my husband made for me. If you want it, go find one for yourself."

Fu Guang: “…” If you don’t want to give it to me, then don’t give it to me. Why do you talk to me like that?

The weather is hot, and Guifeng is afraid that the pastries will not be stored properly, so he has been eating pastries these days.

These pastries are all my husband’s love and should not be wasted.

Next time I see my husband, I'll ask him to do less.

It’s okay in winter, but a little hard to keep in summer.

He felt that he might not be able to eat cakes for a long time.

I ate too much and feel a little sick.

Fu Guang wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare and tried hard to hold it back.

When they were almost at the capital, Gui Feng sent a soldier to the capital as fast as he could to report.

Gui Feng looked in the direction of the capital and asked Fu Guang, "Are the things ready?"

Fu Guang: "Don't worry, General, we are ready."

Fu Guang knew Gui Feng's plan.

Fu Guang: It looks like we will have a tough battle tomorrow.

When you go tomorrow, hang a water bottle on your waist and drink while you curse.

Replenish your energy.

Best prepared as syrup.

Next day

The army set up camp outside the capital.

Gui Feng brought Mu Song, Fu Guang and several generals to the gate of the capital city.

Civil and military officials had already been waiting at the city gate.

Qiao Jing stood on the city wall and watched Guifeng coming towards them.

Qiao Jing saw that Guifeng was almost there.

Only then did he slowly descend the city wall.

Gui Feng and other generals dismounted and saluted Qiao Jing: "We pay our respects to the Emperor."

Qiao Jing walked forward with a smile and helped Gui Feng up.

"My dear, please get up quickly. You have been traveling all the way and have worked hard. The palace banquet is ready. Please enjoy it. My dear, you are a hero of our Yuan country. Not only did you recover the city, but you also expanded the territory of our country. From now on, I will allow you to carry a sword to court."

While Qiao Jing was talking about the situation, he was looking at Gui Feng's eyebrows.

This Gui Feng's eyebrows and eyes do look somewhat similar to Fang Feng's.

He glanced at Fang Feng who was standing among the ministers.

Fang Feng looked at Gui Feng with a fiery look in his eyes, as if he had already made sure that Gui Feng would have a smooth career in the future and that Gui Feng would definitely acknowledge him as his father.

Gui Feng: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Qiao Jing said some more polite words before returning to the palace in the carriage.

The emperor returned to the palace first.

Guifeng and the ministers went to the palace together.

The ministers watched Qiao Jing leave, and several of them immediately came forward to talk to Gui Feng.

Fang Feng wanted to squeeze next to Gui Feng and talk to him.

He had heard before that this great general came from Changzhu Village.

Still a brother.

I immediately sent someone to investigate.

Confirmed that Guifeng was the child born to him and his wife.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, their Fang family is gradually declining.

They were very happy when they knew Guifeng was the child abandoned by their Fang family.

They were not happy about finding their Fang family's child, but were happy about Gui Feng's military exploits.

Since Guifeng took command of the troops, he has never lost a battle.

If the Fang family recognized Gui Feng, their status would also rise.

Even if the new emperor dislikes the Fang family, he will take better care of them for Gui Feng's sake.

They were sure that Gui Feng would agree to return to the Fang family.

After all, the word "filial piety" is so depressing nowadays.

Moreover, the various ministers and royal family members in the capital were deeply intertwined and it was beyond the ability of a single brother like him to handle them.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Without the help of the Fang family, it would not be easy for Gui Feng to gain a foothold in the capital.

But their wishful thinking was ultimately wrong.

What Guifeng hates most is his biological parents.

What I hate most in my life is being threatened by others.

Guifeng spoke politely to those officials.

Those officials saw that Guifeng was so easy to talk to and thought he was easy to talk to.

But when the party started, they couldn't laugh anymore.

When the banquet started, they discovered that Gui Feng was actually a living Yan King, who would not listen to any tricks and killed everyone equally.

Guifeng rode his horse and led his men towards the palace.

The people on both sides of the road looked at Guifeng curiously.

Some enthusiastic people brought food from their homes to give to Guifeng.

Guifeng smiled and declined.

Some officials saw that Guifeng had such a high status in the eyes of the people.

I feel a little uncomfortable.

Some officials had already made plans in their minds and were ready to tell the new emperor that Gui Feng was more powerful than the emperor.

At the banquet

Qiao Jing issued an imperial decree to appoint Gui Feng as the General of Cavalry, and gave him a general's residence. He also awarded him ten thousand taels of gold and a hundred pieces of silk and satin.

He also rewarded other soldiers to varying degrees.

Wait until the banquet is halfway through.

Gui Feng stood up and bowed to Qiao Jing, who was in the upper position. "Your Majesty, I would like to take this opportunity to ask you something. Do you allow me to do so?"

Guifeng informed Qiao Jing in advance.

Qiao Jing knew what Gui Feng was talking about.

"Yes, I will fully support you, Lord Ghost."

After Qiao Jing finished speaking, Gui Feng gave a look to Fu Guang beside him.

Fu Guang understood.

Unroll the prepared scroll.

The reel is opened and dragged long.

Fu Guang cleared his throat and began to read.

This scroll contains stories of officials of all ranks in the imperial court and members of the royal family coveting military pay.

The quantity is even accurate to the penny.

Every time Fu Guang read out a word, Mu Song, who was sitting next to Fu Guang, took out the corresponding evidence from the large box that he had prepared in advance.

Let the eunuch hand it over to Qiao Jing above.

The others thought that the box contained a gift from Guifeng to Qiao Jing, but they didn't expect it to be the evidence of their crimes.

The first prince who was named was furious.

He slammed the table and stood up: "How dare you slander me in front of the emperor."

Guifeng drew out his sword and threw it directly at the prince's desk.

The force was so strong that the table was split in half and the prince's clothes were nailed to the ground.

"You are so bold, you dare to commit a crime in front of the emperor. Do you think the emperor is important? Will you kill the emperor in the future?"

Qiao Jing sat on top, looking at the situation below, and chuckled: "Uncle Wang, you worry too much. The ghost general is a pillar of our country. What you said is really disappointing to the soldiers on the border. I just saw the evidence presented by the ghost general, and it is true."

Ministers below, what is there that you don't understand now? Today's banquet sounds like a celebration banquet specially held for Gui Feng, but it is actually a banquet for honorable guests.

No wonder the emperor ordered today that all officials in the court, big and small, must come.

It seems that this ghost wind is now the knife in Qiao Jing's hand.

Everything now is tacitly approved by Qiao Jing.

By the time I finished reading it, more than half an hour had passed.

Fu Guang felt like smoke was coming out of his throat.

Qiao Jing looked at the list presented to him and beheaded the most serious offenders, confiscated their property, or exiled them.

"My dear ministers, do you want to hand over the things you have embezzled over the years, or do you want me to have the general bring people to come and claim them in person?"

The ministers whose names were called said that they would send Guifeng to his residence soon.

The minister whose name was not called wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: It's a good thing, it's good that they are not here. However, even if they had ten times the courage, they would not dare to do such a thing.

Fortunately, they stuck to their original intentions, otherwise they would be the ones being beheaded, their property confiscated and exiled now.
