Chapter 231
There were no accidents, and in the end it was the flower that won.
It turned out to be Ye Xiguo, and everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for the new life, such a beauty was about to fall into the hands of Ye Xiguo's ghost king, it was really .....
Early the next morning, above the court, the eyes of Qian Ao's scales suddenly lost their luster in an instant, and the great eunuch Li Gonggong beside him couldn't help frowning, and came again, the same situation as last time.
Then, before Gonggong Li could figure out what was going on, Qian Ao's words had already spread throughout the entire hall, "Come on, Xuan Qianhong Yan enter the hall!" ”
The words fell, first there was a palpitating silence, and then there was a surprised discussion of hundreds of officials, the second prince Qian Hongyan died with the fourth prince in one day half a year ago, everything that happened that day is still fresh in their memories to this day, they thought that the name Qian Hongyan would never appear, but what did they hear now? The emperor announced that thousands of flames entered the palace? Did they hear it wrong, or did the emperor say it wrong, he should be talking about Qian Yuyang, right?
Ouyang Lingyue raised her head in surprise, turned around and looked at the main entrance of the main hall, a figure in her sight gradually approached, and finally slowly became clear in everyone's sight, this is....
Everyone couldn't believe what they saw in front of them, they weren't dazzled, how could they see the second prince Qianhong Flame?
"From now on, Qian Hongyan will restore the identity of the second prince and become the king."
Wow!
Qian Aoyan's words made the ministers in an uproar, and it was only at this time that they accepted the fact that Qian Hongyan was not dead, but before they could come to their senses, the emperor's actions deeply stimulated them and restored their identities? Crowned king? Has the emperor forgotten that Qian Hongyan's move was equivalent to a certain law back then?
"Qian Hongyan did not rebel, but pacified the thieves for me, and he has been secretly investigating the ministers related to Qian Juezhao for me these days, and now I have a conclusion."
"Yu Shi Wenzhao, Shangshu Li Mi, Privy Council**, come here, take these people off the top of the flower feather, press down and beat the prison to choose a day to behead!"
Ouyang Lingyue stood aside and watched coldly, quietly watching everything that happened in front of him, now that Qianao is controlled by Chao Fengguo, then everything that happens in the court now is definitely the hand of the virtuous king of Chao Fengguo, and the ministers who are now eradicated are all supporting Qian Yuyang, that is to say, the other party is now paving the way for Qianhong Yan.
Why did the other party do this? Is it to help Qianhong Flame ascend to the throne and then overhead Qianhong Flame? But now that they have controlled the Thousand Proud Scales, in essence, they have already vacated the position of the emperor, so why bother to do anything else?
Don't..... Ouyang Lingyue was taken aback by her thoughts, and the emotions in her eyes became very heavy.
What happened in the court quickly reached the ears of Flower Shadow Phantom, and she frowned, a little puzzled what the other party wanted?
Isn't she trying to secretly control Hengnan, but to follow the chaos in Hengnan to stir up the situation in the four countries?
Flower Shadow Charm's eyes widened instantly.
On the other side, Qian Yuyang has already arrived at Shantong.
At this time, the towering and heavy city gate of Shantong City has long been closed, there is a circle of fences around the city gate dozens of meters away, and the soldiers in armor patrol back and forth, the sound of beating the city gate is like the noisy beating of war drums, and the sound of crying despair is carried far and far by the wind.
The sky was exceptionally blue and far-reaching, and the sun hung high above it, so bright that it was such a dazzling daylight of day, but there was no temperature, it was as cold as the light emitted by the sun's rays shining on the icebergs.
The light, cold and merciless, shone on the earth, like the spears of the soldiers. Even a few miles away, Qian Yuyang could still hear shouts, desperate voices, and cries of pain rolling in the whistling wind.
Intermittently, but it hit Qian Yuyang's body like a hammer.
In this medically backward society, if an incurable plague occurs, the rulers will resort to extreme measures in order to control the epidemic.
Lockdown, isolation, and ignorance until everyone in the city is dead.
Obviously, Shantong has been abandoned.
Heavy trailers crushed the ground, cartloads of firewood were pushed out of the city, the soldiers sprinkled oil on the city wall, and then put the firewood on the side of the city wall, and the dazzling red light was held in the hands of the soldiers in the realization of Qianyuyang, that is, the torches that were lit.
"Stop!" Qian Yuyang shouted, snatched the torch from the soldier's hand, and asked loudly, "What are you doing here?" ”
Seeing that someone had snatched the torch, the soldier grabbed the weapon in his hand and surrounded Qian Yuyang, and one of the people who seemed to be a general snorted coldly: "Who are you, you actually beat the soldiers." ”
When he came up, he first buckled a certain high hat, Qian Yuyang's eyes were split, and he wanted to kill the cold-blooded animal in front of him, if it burned, it would be the people of the whole city who died, how could these people go down?
"You are planning to set it on fire, who gave you this guts?"
"Heh, it's our general."
Qian Yuyang laughed angrily, "Okay, it's really good, come on, bring that general to me." ”
The large army behind Qian Yuyang arrived at this time, and the soldiers who surrounded Qian Yuyang with weapons in their hands were completely dumbfounded.
This is, Praetorian Guard!
Qian Yuyang was invited to the barracks and met the general who ordered the burning.
"The minister has seen the Seven Princes."
Acropolis knelt down on one knee and saluted, Qian Yuyang's face was gloomy, the aura on his body was very unstable, obviously he had been angry to the extreme, he didn't let Acropolis get up, he sat on a high position with the corners of his clothes, Acropolis hung his head so that people couldn't see his expression, just kneeling and turning around with Qian Yuyang's movements.
"Are you guilty?" Qian Yuyang asked in a deep voice.
"Minister, I don't know." Acropolis shook his head, he never felt that it was wrong for him to order the burning of the city, just because he was unwilling to give up the names of the people in the city, so that Mei Yao would also be infected with the plague, if he was unwilling to decide at this time, even if more towns would be infected.
Qian Yuyang slapped the table heavily, very angry, in his opinion, the other party is stubborn, and regards the names of the people as grass mustard, how can this be worthy of being a general.
"Is it right that you ordered someone to burn the city?"
"Prince, the plague in Shantong started three months ago, and the imperial history played the hysteria of the imperial court Shantong, but it has been three whole months, and the imperial court still did not send anyone down until the death of the imperial history, the seventh prince, you are here this time, but what did you bring? What about medicinal herbs? What about supplies? You're bringing the Praetorian Guards, don't you have the same idea? ”
Acropolis's eyes were red, "Do you know that the minister's wife and children are still in the city?" Do you think the minister is willing to burn them all alive in a fire? But what do you want the minister to do, in the past three months, the hysteria has spread to Mei Yao, can the minister still watch the plague spread until more people are harmed? ”
"The minister dares to ask you, what has the court been doing in the past three months, even if it is a month earlier, the minister will not make today's decision!"
The solemn man couldn't help but cry when he thought of everything that had happened in the past three months, God knows how much he wanted to take his wife and children out, but no, it was a plague, and he couldn't let the entire barracks risk the soldiers because of himself.
Are the soldiers really willing to burn the city? It was just not to see them hiding in the quilt and wailing in grief.
They were ordered to guard the minerals of Shantong and Meiyao, but they couldn't protect their relatives.
Who can bear the pain of watching their loved ones die? The Acropolis did not dare to show the slightest cowardice and reluctance, because that would cause the morale of the army to waver, and then no one would want to escape from this plague, but it would only spread endlessly.
Qian Yuyang's hand hanging on his lap clenched his fist tightly, he gritted his back molars, his angry facial features were almost hideous, and his voice contained endless killing intent and frost, "General Wei, you said that Shantong's hysteria started three months ago, and it was already written to the imperial court at that time, right?" ”
Acropolis suddenly raised his head and clenched his fists tightly, "Yes!" He hated, hated why the imperial court didn't send someone to treat the plague, and even more ruthlessly, he could only watch things come to this point.
"General Wei, I'm not afraid to tell you that my father sent me to Shantong and my sister Yao to exterminate the robbers."
"What?" Acropolis was a little skeptical that he had misheard.
Qian Yuyang's resentful sword eyebrows furrowed, and he said: "The imperial court didn't know that Shantong and Meiyao were infected with the plague at all, and the imperial court received a note half a month ago, but it was just that Shantong and Meiyao were sacked by robbers, that's all, there was no mention of the plague at all." ”
"General Wei, do you now know why I brought the Praetorian Guard?"
Acropolis sat on the ground suddenly, looked at Qian Yuyang in disbelief, shook his head vigorously, and muttered that it was impossible, this was impossible.
They had obviously reported the outbreak of the plague in Shantong to the imperial court three months ago, how could the imperial court not receive it, so where did the report go? Who the hell is it? Who is going to drive them all out?
The Acropolis was traumatized at this time, and could no longer use reason to suppress the grief and anger that he had been talking about these days, and covered his face and cried in a low voice.
His low whimper was mournful and desperate, and at this time he was no longer a general defending one, he was only the husband of a woman, the father of a child.
It's not that men can't cry, but they don't cry easily, they would rather put everything in their hearts and bear it alone, but when a man can't help crying in front of people, it means that the pain in his heart has made him unbearable.
Qian Yuyang's eyes were red, and her heart seemed to be surging as if she was going to overturn the entire sea level, she had to cure the people of Shantong and Meiyao no matter what, and she had to pay the price for the culprit hidden in the dark no matter what!
He does what he says!
