Chapter 126: Desperate Survival

The emperor looked at Wan Jinbao and said:

"Prime Minister, since this is the case, then I will not beat around the bush, today's matter, I can open up to your family, I can not pursue it, but your family must also show sincerity and loyalty to me."

When Wan Jinbao heard the emperor's words, he was stunned for a moment, and asked with a frown:

"What does the emperor mean? The lower officials don't know what the emperor is referring to, what does it mean to let the lower officials show sincerity and loyalty to you? ”

The emperor then said:

"What I mean is that as long as you immediately hand over the military power in your hands, I can treat today's events as if they never happened, and forgive you for your innocence, so that I can understand your sincerity and see whether you are loyal to me, and what does the prime minister want?"

Wan Jinbao heard the emperor's words, it was a joke to him, you must know that the Wan family has been in awe of the royal family and the people in the Jinfeng Kingdom for so many years, that is, because the Wan family has most of the military power in the hands of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom, if the Wan family loses the military power in their hands, it is tantamount to digging their ancestral grave for them, which is of course something that cannot be promised.

Wan Jinbao looked at the emperor and said unhappily:

"The meaning of the emperor's coming today is to seize the military power in the hands of my family? I said why today, first the queen mother came to make trouble, and now the emperor suddenly brought someone out to kill him, this is not clear that he wants to eradicate my family! My family has made great contributions to the Jinfeng Kingdom and the royal family for generations, but I didn't expect the result to be like this today, I don't know if the emperor knows in the sky, will he rush to the cold heart! ”

The queen mother looked at Wan Jinbao and said unhappily:

"Prime minister, don't think that the emperor doesn't know what you're thinking in your heart, let me tell you, the little Jiujiu in your heart has long been known by the emperor clearly, the reason why you have been letting you go is that I hope that the people of your family can know the interest, and sooner or later they will know to repent, but I didn't think that you would become more and more disagreeable, it was simply chilling."

The emperor looked at Wan Jinbao and asked:

"Prime Minister, can you fulfill my request? To tell you the truth, you'd better not think about resisting now, I let the general who defended the city take his soldiers, and now this mansion has been surrounded all around, if you don't hand over the military power in your hands, then today I will clean up the door for Jin Fengguo and the emperor, and the ten thousand families will not be left behind, I will give you one last time to think about it, otherwise, you don't blame me for not giving you ten thousand family a chance. ”

When Wan Jinbao's wife heard the emperor's words, she immediately rushed up to Wan Jinbao and said excitedly:

"Master, you just listen to the emperor's words and hand over the military power in your hands to the emperor! There are still dozens of people in our homes! You can't kill so many of us because of military power! ”

Wan Jinbao looked at his wife and suddenly turned blue, she picked up a knife on the ground, and stabbed his wife in the body.

"Ah, sir, you ......" Mrs. Wan Jinbao suddenly trembled, a mouthful of blood oozed from her mouth, and she died with her eyes wide open.

Wan Jinbao stabbed his wife's body with a knife, then slowly stood up and said to the people of the Wan family on the side:

"Whoever of you is afraid of death, stand up, and I will personally put an end to your lives, so that you may not be embarrassed here, and the face of my family."

The family members and subordinates of the ten thousand families standing around were all terrified, and no one dared to speak or make a disturbance anymore.

Seeing this, the emperor looked at Wan Jinbao and said seriously:

"Prime Minister, do you mean that you refuse to hand over your military power and want to rebel against me?"

Wan Jinbao looked at the emperor, smiled bitterly, and said:

"Your Majesty, you can't force me like this for today's little thing, and force us to ten thousand families! The emperor is a smart man, and he should also know the truth of cold lips and teeth! ”

The emperor said sharply:

"Prime Minister don't want me to continue to beat around the bush here, I now ask you, do you hand over the military power, or not? I just need you for this answer. ”

Wan Jinbao was stunned for a moment, and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, what if the lower officials want to say that they will not pay it? The emperor is ready to kill all my family! ”

When the general defending the city heard Wan Jinbao's words, he immediately said in a heavy tone:

"Prime Minister, you are so bold that you dare to speak to the royal family like this, it is so presumptuous!"

Wan Jinbao then said:

"I said the general who defends the city, you are only a military general and dare to talk to me like this, you are even more daring! Don't think that if you bring more soldiers, you can show off your might to the prime minister, let me tell you, this dog will jump off the wall in a hurry, you better be cautious. ”

The emperor was suddenly unhappy and said:

"Prime minister, don't talk nonsense, if you know the prime minister, hurry up and hand over the military power in your hands, otherwise, I will let my soldiers put all your families in prison and wait for them to be beheaded."

Wan Jinbao laughed a few times and said:

"Your Majesty, are you really so ruthless, don't you think of the contributions of our Wan family to the royal family and the Golden Phoenix Kingdom over the years? Are you really going to wipe out all of our families like this? ”

The queen interjected:

"Prime Minister, you can fall to this end, it is all your and Wan Qing's own fault, your family blames no one, there must be a cause and effect, this root of the curse was planted by you, then only your family will eat this bitter fruit, you can't complain about others."

Seeing this, Wan Jinbao couldn't help but think in his heart, this horizontal and vertical is a dead word, it is better to have a showdown with the emperor now, as long as I can escape today, the military power in my hands will rise again sooner or later.

Seeing this, Wan Qing also shouted at Wan Jinbao with an uneasy face:

"Dad, are we just going to sit back and die?"

Wan Jinbao's heart trembled, thinking to himself, I don't know if the guards sent out to gather soldiers and horses have arrived as soon as possible with soldiers, otherwise, it will be a bit difficult to escape today! After all, there are still thousands of soldiers under the general of the city defender.

Wan Jinbao hugged his fist at the emperor:

"Your Majesty, handing over the military power is a big deal, can you give the lower officials another three days to think about it?"

The general defending the city said unhappily:

"Prime Minister, the emperor has already given you enough face, you don't play tricks here! The emperor asked you to hand over the military power in your hand immediately, and he didn't say that he would give you three days to think about it. ”

The emperor also immediately said:

"Prime Minister, hurry up and hand over the military power in your hands, please don't test my patience, my patience is limited."

The queen then said:

"Your Majesty, I'll leave with Qin Meiniang first, otherwise, you will hurt us if you fight in a while."

The emperor nodded and said:

"Well, the queen should hurry up and leave with Qin Meiniang and the county lords, and the matter here will be handed over to me."

The queen mother immediately stepped forward and took Qin Meiniang's hand and pulled her aside.

Wan Qing looked at Qin Meiniang being pulled away by the queen's mother, and her face was also unhappy, but she didn't dare to rush forward to rob Qin Meiniang.

Wan Qing watched Qin Meiniang being taken by the queen mother to the outside of the mansion slowly, he was full of entanglement, and his fists were clenched.

Qin Meiniang looked at the queen mother and said excitedly:

"Niangniang, Liu Feng was also arrested by Wan Qing, you have to find a way to save him."

The queen then said:

"Don't worry, when the emperor deals with the affairs of the Wan family, I will definitely go to the prison to rescue Liu Feng from you."

The county lord immediately chimed in:

"Yes, Qin Meiniang, you can rest assured, Liu Shaoxia will be fine, after the emperor disposes of the Wan family, we will go to the prison to personally pick him up from the cell, we have to leave Wan Qing's mansion first and ensure our own safety."

The queen mother took Qin Meiniang and the county lord and soon came to the gate of Wanqing's mansion.

As soon as the few of them came out of the mansion, they saw a large number of soldiers and horses coming towards Wan Qing's mansion not far away.

Seeing this, the county lord couldn't help frowning and said:

"Why are so many soldiers and horses coming here? Could it be someone summoned by the emperor? ”

Seeing this, the queen mother also said happily:

"Well, these soldiers must have been brought by the emperor, this time, I can finally clean up the Wan family, take their military power, and see if they dare to do such nonsense in the future!"

Qin Meiniang also couldn't help but sigh:

"Fortunately, the emperor was able to arrive in time today, otherwise, I would have dragged down the queen and the county lord, fortunately, you were not injured, it is really a blessing in misfortune."

The queen mother, Qin Meiniang and the county lord stood in front of this Wanqing mansion, and were about to leave here, but a large number of soldiers who arrived came here on horses.

Seeing this, the soldiers brought by the general guarding the city outside the palace also looked terrified, and they didn't know who brought these soldiers and why they were killed so suddenly.

It turned out that these large numbers of soldiers who came suddenly were all people under Wan Jinbao, and there were as many as 10,000 people who came, and they instantly blocked the outside of Wanqing Mansion and surrounded the soldiers brought by the emperor.

Seeing this, the county lord immediately looked surprised and said:

"It's not good, these soldiers are not sent by the emperor, they should be people under the prime minister, this is going to be a big mess."

When the queen mother heard the words of the county lord, her heart trembled, and she said:

"Ahh What do you say, these soldiers are all under the Prime Minister? ”

The county lord nodded and said:

"Hui Niangniang, yes, what can I do now? The emperor doesn't know that he is inside, if so many soldiers under the prime minister are allowed to rush in, then the emperor will be in danger, and now the emperor has torn his face with the Wan family, the prime minister and Wan Qing are ruthless, in case the dog jumps over the wall and hostages the emperor or ...... The consequences would be unimaginable. ”

The queen mother was full of excitement and said:

"No, I can't put the emperor in such a dangerous situation, I can only find a way to save the emperor."

Qin Meiniang also looked frightened.

The queen looked at the large number of soldiers who surrounded her, and shouted loudly:

"What do you want to do when so many of you come here? I tell you, I am the queen of the Golden Phoenix Kingdom, and I now order you to evacuate quickly, and not to stay here. ”
