Chapter 568: Expedition
April 25 is the day when His Majesty the Emperor leads the army to march in person, and it is also the day when the last political enemies hit the road!
In the prison cell, Yun Hongchang changed into a new outfit, and under the supervision of Su Shangqing and Luo Hanxing, he used it casually for a while, and then slowly poured a glass of red wine into his mouth.
The taste of the wine is not bad, on the contrary, it is very sweet, and there is no adverse reaction after entering the mouth, just feeling a little tired. Two guards helped him to lie down on the single bed next to him and let him rest.
Half an hour later, there was no reaction on the vital monitor!
"With such a comfortable way to die, Your Majesty is really benevolent to this guy!" Luo Hanxing sighed.
Su Shangqing's face was a little unnatural, this guy was able to escape Ling Chi's fate, in the final analysis, because he exposed Hua Mankui, a traitor! As her ex-boyfriend, it's normal to feel embarrassed!
Fortunately, Luo Hanxing immediately understood, and didn't say anything more, but after letting the forensic doctor confirm it, he signed his name on the death identification report, and then the two of them also signed, and the matter was over!
As for the rest of the guys, they weren't so lucky!
On the square in front of the imperial palace, it was heavily guarded, and a large number of guards were already in place. Ship after ship kept falling in the distance, and large groups of well-dressed men and women were escorted by masked executioners all the way to the execution platform.
The hard-line faction clansmen of the Yun, Zhou, and Augustin families, as well as some important figures from small and medium-sized families, are among them! Yun Hongchang's other wives and their eldest son Yun Hui, Yun Jiang and the other five former power elders and their immediate family members were all handcuffed and escorted out at this time!
Prison officers Li Xingyan and Jerome sat on the side, coldly examining this group of big people who were once high and beautiful.
By now, all of these guys were pale, staggering, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, and a few of them were even crying bitterly, and all the pride and majesty of the past had been thrown out of the clouds!
Jerome laughed disdainfully, "I thought these guys had hard bones!" Now it seems that it is a bunch of garbage that is worse than mud! I have done so many evil things, but I can't show the slightest courage to accept the punishment I deserve! ”
"Since ancient times, it has been difficult to die only!" Li Xingyan sighed, "They have enjoyed a life of fine clothes and food since they were born, and they have great power!" If you want the wind to be windy and rainy, now you have nothing to say, and you have to die in this extremely humiliating way! Who can afford it? ”
"That's their own doing, too!" Jerome sneered, "To go against His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire, you have to have the consciousness to pay the price after defeat!" ”
Li Xingyan shook her head lightly, stopped talking, just stared at the time on the light brain, and waited patiently.
After a while, a major came over and said, "Two generals, news has come from the palace!" ”
Jerome was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What does Your Majesty have to say?" ”
The major replied, "Your Majesty said, 'If you knew this, why did you bother in the first place?' Let's all put them to death! ”
"Okay, we get it!" Li Xingyan nodded, looked back and ordered:
"Prepare for execution!"
Immediately, a team of sixty heavily armed Strangers walked into the crowd, and in groups of two, dragged out thirty prisoners, escorted them to the edge of the high platform and knelt down, and another team of masked executioners showed their lightsabers in their hands and took positions behind them one by one!
The team leader's eyes looked at the two prison officers, Li Xingyan nodded, her fair and slender palm was gently raised, and then she waved it down!
The Adepts let go and retreated, and at the same time, thirty lightsabers fell in unison, moving in unison!
In an instant, thirty pillars of thick red blood rushed into the sky! The rich smell of blood fills the air!
The headless corpse collapsed limply, and then a team of robots stepped forward and dragged them all to the preset morgue under the stage! This wave of executions is complete!
"Go ahead!" Jerome said indifferently.
So, another batch of prisoners was dragged out! Executed according to the established process!
"Two adults, stop for a moment!" A voice came from afar.
Li Xingyan was slightly stunned, turned her head to look, and found a luxury flying car with a royal insignia speeding towards it, and the guards guarding along the way did not dare to stop it, allowing it to stop not far from the execution platform.
The car door opened, and Yun Xinyao's mother and daughter and the palace guard commander Mu Qingya hurriedly walked out.
The two prison officers hurriedly got up to greet them, and after bowing and saluting, Li Xingyan opened her mouth and asked, "What does Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine command?" ”
Mu Qingya said: "Your Majesty has an edict and allowed Ten places for Concubine Yun to be exempted from death, and ten people with less responsibility can be selected from Yun Hongchang's clan to be pardoned!" ”
Li Xingyan looked stunned, then reacted immediately, nodded and said, "Since it is Your Majesty's intention, then, two highnesses, please!" ”
Yun Xinyao looked at the thirty people who had been executed, and found that there was no one she knew, so she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and walked to the crowd to look for it.
Among the members of the Yun family, there was the one who was stronger, and who heard their conversation clearly just now, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and begged one after another, hoping that he could be picked and avoid death! The scene was a little chaotic, but fortunately, Jerome quickly transferred a few more teams of guards to maintain order.
"Sister, save me!" Yun Hui, whose face was gloomy, called earnestly, and beside him, a woman with a beautiful face also cried and begged for mercy, it was his biological mother, Yun Hongchang's second concubine.
Yun Xinyao looked at her brother, sighed a little unbearably, and ignored it.
Although His Majesty has promised her ten places, not everyone can be pardoned, and people like Yunhui are definitely not among them! She is not a person who does not know the importance of importance, how can she make His Majesty unhappy because of this?
Yun Hanyu looked at the woman and sneered, "You still know how to beg for mercy? Stop dreaming! Your mother and son are not good things, not to mention that there are only ten places, even hundreds, and a thousand will not be your turn! ”
The woman cried, "Sister, I couldn't stand you before!" Now that you have a lot of adults, don't take it to heart! For the sake of our fellow citizens, save me......"
Yun Hanyu didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore, and pulled Yun Xinyao away.
After a while, Yun Xinyao finally found her goal.
"Hong Yan, come here!" She called.
The girl who was named was surprised inexplicably, and hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and ran in front of her.
"Sister......" she choked, tears falling down like pearls with broken threads.
Yun Xinyao hugged this cousin and looked at it, and found that she had not suffered any other injuries except for her haggard look, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister, you have suffered!" Come back with me! ”
Yun Hongyan obediently agreed, and Mu Qingya on the side asked her a few words, and seeing that there was no problem, she nodded and made a record, and the quota was determined.
Subsequently, Yun Xinyao picked six more one after another, and Yun Hanyu also picked two, all of whom were close clansmen who had a good relationship with them in the past and had no faults.
"Alright, so be it!" Yun Xinyao said to Mu Qingya.
"Two highnesses, there is still a place, don't you plan to choose?" She asked.
The imperial concubine sighed and said, "No need! That's enough for just nine people! ”
"Okay, let's go back and report to Your Majesty!" Mu Qingya didn't say anything more, and led them to the flying car, behind them, the people of the Yun family who had lost hope cried to the sky, and the scene was so desolate and tragic that even Jerome felt a little unbearable in his heart.
After they left, Li Xingyan ordered the execution to continue, a total of thousands of people, killed for a full four hours, and it was almost noon before the disposal was completed!
At this point, the purge since the new regime entered the imperial capital is completely over! In the future, as long as there are no more unsightly forces coming out to make trouble, such large-scale killings will not occur!
In the imperial palace, Yun Haoyu was receiving Zhao Zhixiong.
For this old minister who has been following him, he is still very important, over the years, the empire has expanded all the way, and every time he conquers a star field, the local dark forces are taken over by him for reorganization, so the power he has at hand is also extremely amazing! Later, the territory was larger, and out of political considerations, it was impossible to let him take charge of the matter alone, so he appointed some new people to jointly manage it, so as to thin the power in his hands.
But he has no complaints about this, he is still as loyal as ever, and he will do everything that His Majesty has explained, and there will be no mistakes!
Therefore, Yun Haoyu was very relieved of him, and this expedition, he summoned him alone to teach him face-to-face.
"Your Majesty can only rest assured when he is fighting abroad, as long as the minister still has a breath of air, he will never allow anyone to be unfavorable to the foundation of the empire!" He said firmly.
"That's good!" Yun Haoyu said with a smile, "Actually, I don't believe that there will be anyone who dares to cause trouble without opening their eyes, but they are just prepared!" In short, you just need to take care of your own errands! ”
The two talked for a while before Zhao Zhixiong retired.
After he went out, Yun Haoyu waited for a while, and then summoned Yun Tianque, who was already waiting in the side hall, to meet him.
Although he really doesn't have a good impression of this grandfather, in the current situation, after he is far away from the imperial capital, he can be trusted as a person who can help stabilize the domestic order.
and Zhou Junyi and Franz. Augustine, these two are also going to meet with them. As long as there are no problems with these three families, the remaining family forces will not be able to stir up much wind at all.
By the time all the affairs are explained, it will be afternoon! The fleet had already set off, leaving only tens of thousands of Praetorian Legion ships waiting in outer space.
In this expedition, Yun Haoyu has made the most careful arrangements for the stability of the imperial capital! In addition to the queen, Zhong Mingrui and Gurungs, as well as Li Xingyan and Luo Hanxing, were also left behind, and Zhao Zhixiong hid in the underground world, secretly monitoring everything! Bernard and Jin Yue, Meng Xuan and other important ministers will also stay in the imperial capital.
Such a lineup is enough to suppress and stabilize the situation! As long as there are no major defeats in the front-line war, there should be no problems at home!
In the end, Yun Haoyu finally got on the spaceship surrounded by a large number of guards, arrived in outer space to change to a battleship, and then rushed all the way, and joined the main fleet a few hours later!
When the emperor's ship entered the palace of the "Tengyuan", the entire fleet suddenly accelerated and headed for the southern frontier of the empire!
