Chapter 477: Kill one and make an example
() Huo Jiuling was above the main hall, facing the civil and military officials, his eyes were calm, and there was no trace of mourning.
"Queen Mother, why did the Holy Lord die?" The old general looked around left and right, and when he saw that no one dared to speak, he was not angry, and stood on top of the main hall with one hand, holding his beard with one hand, and staring at Huo Jiuling tightly.
Huo Jiuling smiled, but there was a murderous intent hidden in his eyes.
"Old General, what do you mean by that? The emperor Gu Lai suffers from an old illness and has been in poor health, besides, you see that in this huge Nanzhao country, do you have the right to talk to me? Huo Jiuling slapped the dragon chair, and all the civil and military officials did not dare to say anything.
"It seems that the mother is intent on rebellion?" The old general narrowed his eyes and swept Huo Jiuling up and down, and the chill that hit him instantly was terrifying.
"I think you're the one who wants to rebel, right? Old general, as soon as the emperor died, you were in a hurry to move the soldiers and horses of the imperial city to the outside of the temple, don't you know that the first emperor lived inside? How daring! Huo Jiuling got up suddenly, the phoenix robe on his body stood suddenly, and a yin wind instantly frightened the ministers to their knees.
"The queen is angry!"
Huo Jiuling glanced at it, and seemed to be particularly satisfied with the performance of these ministers, and nodded silently.
"Old General, what else do you want to say??" Huo Jiuling looked at the old general in a daze, his face full of anger.
"I am here to protect the first emperor, who knows if someone will intend to rebel, kill the first emperor and take the throne!" The old general had long heard that Huo Jiuling was going to change the name of the country, and it was the time of dissatisfaction in his heart, Dacheng, how could the old man become you!
"General, I think you are a thief." Huo Jiuling smiled and slowly paced in front of the general.
"I remember that in the battle with Shuzhou, you were repeatedly defeated, and you couldn't defeat a small Chang Lei, which led to no reinforcements on the Yanzhou side, and the plan failed. You, a great general, don't you even have this kind of plan? So what do I want you for? ”
Huo Jiuling glared at the general angrily, only one step away, he could justifiably ascend to the throne, Huo Jiuling naturally refused to let go of this opportunity easily.
"Huo Jiuling, don't deceive people too much! The medicine you gave hurt my brother's innocence, or was infected with the plague, which led to a large number of casualties, otherwise, I would have entered Shuzhou a long time ago! Besides, I have long said that Nanzhao must not start a war with the Celestial Empire, and Nanzhao has been in charge of the Celestial Empire for generations
, the troops who left the country are useless, how do you let me win the war? ”
The old general stepped forward and forced Huo Jiuling to retreat, if it weren't for the civil and military officials present, he would have wanted to behead this demon queen in the main hall.
"I don't think you dare, right? Chang Lei used the same antidote in the city, why only a few thousand people died? There are tens of thousands of people in Shuzhou, and there is absolutely no problem with the antidote, Chang Lei is far-sighted, and he has already guessed this trick, your old man is arrogant, I'm afraid I didn't even take the medicine I gave, right? Huo Jiuling's face was full of anger, and there was indeed a secret in his heart.
In the battle with Shuzhou, Huo Jiuling had already planned in his heart, ostensibly to capture Shuzhou, but in fact, to weaken the forces of the two sides.
For Huo Jiuling, the affairs of Shuzhou are far from the internal affairs of Nanzhao, and besides, even if Shuzhou is captured, the imperial court will immediately send more people and horses to come to reinforcements, rather than this, it is better to let them fend for themselves.
Huo Jiuling added a herb to the original poison, and ordered people to boil it day and night, and the toxicity increased, but the poisoning time was slowed down a lot, and the most important thing was that the original antidote did not work at all, Chang Lei thought that those people just died without taking the antidote, in fact, it was just a matter of time.
But when the plague spreads, everyone in the city will die in pain, and then Shuzhou will completely become an empty city, Huo Jiuling has a good prescription in his hand, and he can take Shuzhou without blood, and by the way, get rid of the old general.
Huo Jiuling looked at the old general slyly, he was afraid that he would never guess that he would die in his own hands.
"Old general, you gave me a reason? I think you deliberately said this when you saw Chang Lei's heart trembling, besides, according to military law, you should have been removed from your position! Huo Jiuling stared at the audience tightly, she was waiting for a voice.
"Yes, old general, according to the laws of the Southern Zhao, send troops to flee without a fight, meet the troops without a fight and be timid, indecisive, invincible, according to the laws of the Southern Zhao, at least they will be dismissed and demoted to a concubine, and at worst they will be immediately executed." The squire of the criminal department stepped forward and glanced at the old general lightly.
"You bastard, I'm afraid you've all been bought by Huo Jiuling!" The old general looked angrily at the scattered voices around him and stomped his feet angrily.
"I want to see, who dares to go against the old man today? In another moment, if the old man has not walked out of this palace, the old man's officers and soldiers will flock to overthrow you, the dog demon queen! ”
The old general pointed at Huo Jiuling angrily, his eyes full of killing intent.
"Look, look." Huo Jiuling clapped her hands and suddenly burst out laughing.
"I already knew that you were premeditated and wanted to try to rebel, and today, I really got right." A trace of killing intent flashed under Huo Jiuling's eyes, and the sword in his hand was hidden under the table, clutched tightly in his hand.
This is just in case, worried that the old general will rush up for a while.
"You demon queen!" Sure enough, the old general stepped forward with an arrow and went straight to Huo Jiuling, Huo Jiuling pulled out his sword with a "poof", and at the same time, the officers and soldiers hiding in the main hall to guard the Royal Forest Army also surrounded him instantly.
"Old general, you want to kill me?" Huo Jiuling squinted his eyes and glanced up and down, the old general couldn't move now, and he was pointed at by a sword.
"You demon queen, you can't die well!" The old general's words almost popped out word by word between his teeth, and he looked at her coldly.
"It doesn't matter if I die or not, the important thing is that you will die today." Huo Jiuling shook his head, and there was a trace of regret in his eyes.
"I thought that I could use you more in the future, after all, only you can use soldiers when you are above the court, but now it seems that you are afraid that you will not have this blessing." Huo Jiuling laughed.
"No blessings? Do you think you can stop me with just a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals? I think you're crazy! The old general sneered, and then turned his back on his hand.
"I also said that when my officers and soldiers come in, there will be no mercy for killing, and you are afraid that you will not have this opportunity."
"Stop." An old voice came from behind, and everyone looked at it in unison, this was ......
"It's the First Emperor!"
"Didn't the first emperor become a monk? How did you get invited here? ”
"And now, the old general?" A hint of gloom appeared in Huo Jiuling's eyes.
"Since I'm going to kill you, I can't let you die in vain." Huo Jiuling turned around and invited the first emperor to the front, smiling slightly, with an expression of successful tricks.
"Say it." Huo Jiuling gently pushed the back spine of the first emperor.
"I ordered Huo Jiuling...... For the Son of Heaven, the country name is Dacheng, and the capital is Qamdo. The First Emperor sighed and shook his head slowly.
"Your Majesty, no, Your Majesty!" As soon as the old general's words fell, the sword in Huo Jiuling's hand had already been inserted into the old general's abdomen!
