The notoriety of the second son of the Duke of Lu's mansion is known to everyone in the capital, especially today when he killed eight civilians. Others might say "killing nine generations of the clan" to scare people, but he might not.
It was obvious that the imperial edict in his hand was more powerful than the previous one. No one dared to move for a moment. They watched him holding the imperial edict high and walking triumphantly through the path automatically made by the crowd.
Leaving behind baskets of rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, who would have thought that throwing away vegetable leaves would lead to the death of the entire clan?
"Let's go. We can't waste it. Let's go to Duke Lu's mansion to throw it away."
"Yes, I'll go home and get the dung bucket later."
With a shout and many voices echoing, the crowd rushed to the gate of the Duke of Lu's Mansion.
Xie Yunzhao looked at the direction they left and chuckled. Comparing courage with him, haha, is he the one who will suffer a loss?
I didn't go to the military camp, I went back home first because my father was needed to mobilize the soldiers.
There are 100,000 troops, 70,000 of which are stationed on the border, and there are only 30,000 in the barracks. 10,000 are transferred in first and set up camp next to the Dengxian Pavilion.
In the Princess's Mansion, Duke Lu and his wife were still waiting in the main hall. Chen Shurong accompanied them all the time, calming the emotions of the two elderly people.
When he saw the tall figure appear with a smile on his face, Shen Shurong knew it was successful.
The Duke of Lu and his wife came over and asked, "Son, did you really kill the people?"
"Let's not talk about that for now. Dad, Mom, look, what is this?" Xie Yunzhao took out the commander's seal wrapped in silk, the token of the Duke of Lu, from his lapel.
After seeing clearly, Duke Lu looked up and stared at his son: "What's going on?" How did he bring back... the foundation of the Duke's Mansion?
The Duke's wife was jealous: "Son, are you..." Did her son pay a price to get all this?
"Don't cry, Dad. We still need to mobilize troops."
"Mobilize troops? For what?"
"Of course I am in charge of the construction site. I have requested an imperial decree. From now on, everything regarding the construction of the Ascension Pavilion must be handled by me. If anyone dares to cause trouble, my son has the power to punish him."
The Duke of Lu seemed to be listening to a divine book and could not come back to his senses for a long time.
"Dad, are you old? Why are you so stupid that you don't understand that your son is going to accompany you to mobilize troops?"
"Get lost, you little bastard." Duke Lu kicked him and said, "Let's not talk about this first. Let's talk about why you killed those eight people first."
Xie Yunzhao whispered in his ear: "Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys is enough as long as it can scare people. There is no need to really kill, it will only make people angry."
Duke Lu's pupils suddenly shrank. How could his son consider so much?
"Are they willing to cooperate with you in acting?" he asked in a low voice.
Xie Yunzhao thought to himself that he had arranged the people who led the trouble, so of course he cooperated: "Dad, I arranged it when I knew someone was causing trouble."
Duke Lu stared at Xie Yunzhao for a long time, and finally nodded heavily. This son has been smart since he was young, and his intelligence is unmatched, but he just doesn't focus on serious matters.
I patted my son on the shoulder, feeling extremely proud.
The Duke's wife didn't know what the father and son were talking about, so she asked when she saw there was no order from the Crown Prince.
"Mother, His Majesty said that my eldest brother is now being accused of being a traitor, so I won't give it to him for now."
“I see.”
Xie Yunzhao sat next to Shen Shurong. He had been focusing on answering his parents since he entered the room.
"My dear, I'm back." He blinked and mouthed: "I have accomplished my mission"
Chen Shurong shook his hand and smiled: "My husband is the best."
Xie Yunzhao’s eyes narrowed in smiles immediately. He liked it most when Rongrong praised him as the best.
"Ahem, let's go. Didn't you say you were going to mobilize troops?" Duke Lu covered his lips and coughed lightly.
Xie Yunzhao reluctantly raised his buttocks: "In order to clean up his mess, I can't stay at home to accompany the princess."
The Duke of Lu wants to kick him out again. Does he have any future at all? Is he always hanging around women?
After seeing the father and son off, the Duke's wife sat next to Shen Shurong, took her hand, patted her gently and sighed: "I didn't expect this brat to change so much after marrying you."
Chen Shurong lowered his eyebrows and said nothing. How many people's lives were changed by the change of the prince in the Duke of Lu's Mansion?
She didn't want to comment too much. What had already passed was the past, and the most important thing was to cherish the present.
Look at her belly, she is about to announce the news of pregnancy, they already have three children.
"Mom, let's go check on the two kids."
"Okay. Let them fight outside, and we two will take care of the house and the children."
After getting the commander's seal and token, the Duke's wife felt much more relaxed and no longer tense with worry.
Now Xie Yunzhao's actions have attracted much attention, and all departments are talking about him.
When they learned that Duke Lu and Xie Yunzhao led 10,000 Xie family soldiers to station next to the Dengxian Pavilion construction site, they were shocked. His Majesty returned the military power to the Xie family?
Also, when he left the palace, he said that the imperial edict had been changed. Is that true too?
First he executed eight people on the spot, and now he has the power to execute nine generations of the clan, and he is even bringing troops into the city. Are Your Majesty and the Duke of Lu's Mansion crazy? How can you allow a playboy to act so recklessly?
Someone asked the prime minister, and he said calmly: "Are you really just fooling around?" Who can get the military power back by fooling around?
This boy's behavior seemed arrogant and disorganized, but it brought him the greatest benefits.
He did not jump to conclusion, but just asked everyone to wait and see.
When Xie Yunzheng got the news, he put on his hat and hurried to Dengxian Pavilion. When he saw his father leading an army of 10,000 to station there, his heart was filled with anxiety.
How is it possible that Xie Yunzhao killed so many people and still took back the military power?
He didn't believe that he had the ability to do it, so he took off his hat and walked towards his father, but was stopped.
"Stop, the Xie family army is stationed here, no one is allowed to enter."
Xie Yunzheng was so angry that he laughed and pointed at his own face: "Open your dog eyes and see that I am the deputy commander of the Xie family army..."
"Sorry, please show us the prince's order." The soldier blocking the road was neither humble nor arrogant, and the surrounding soldiers pretended not to see it.
It is true that they are loyal to the Great Zhou, but they also know that they are the Xie family army, and they will only be well if the Duke of Lu's Mansion is well.
The person I hate the most now is Xie Yunzheng. It was he who presented the evil Taoist priest to your majesty, and it was he who lost the goods to your majesty. Now he is bearing the infamy for building the Ascension Pavilion.
Because of him, they were already laughed at by other military camps.
He was the one who caused everything, and he still has the nerve to call himself the prince?
Xie Yunzheng frowned. The military power has been returned. Can't he manage them without the prince's order? "Let me in first. My father has the order."
"Sorry, the second young master said that His Majesty did not return the Crown Prince's Order." The soldier was unmoved.
"You!" Xie Yun gritted his teeth in anger. It was Xie Yunzhao again!
He must have done it on purpose, deliberately not taking back the Crown Prince's Order!
He threw away his sleeves and went to the roadside to wait for his father to come out.
The rioting civilians were isolated from each other by layers of soldiers and could no longer see any grass or trees in the Dengxian Pavilion.
They didn't expect that the army would be stationed there, and they looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
