"Dispose of these people and punish them as treason. ”

Zhao Lin handed the note back to Cao Zhengchun.

"The old slave obeyed. ”

The corners of Cao Zhengchun's mouth flashed with a sneer, according to the crime of treason, that is the Nine Clans, it seems that in the past two days, there has been another bloody storm in the court.

......

Following.

Above the court.

The eyes of the civil and military officials all looked at Zhao Lin on the throne in awe.

Yesterday, several more courtiers were secretly executed by Dongchang, and even the entire family was leveled, full of old and young, and none of them were spared.

The crime given by the people in Dongchang was to collude with the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River and conspire to assassinate the emperor.

This is undoubtedly a great sin for the Nine Clans.

After knowing the charges, naturally no one dared to eat the bear's heart and leopard gall and plead with Zhao Lin.

However, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty became more and more in awe of Zhao Lin.

They knew very well in their hearts that in the presence of this discerning majesty, they must not do anything to commit adultery.

Don't leave anything to chance!

Once discovered, there is only one way out!

After the ministers finished their work, the military department Shangshu strode out and saluted Zhao Lin: "Your Majesty, good news from the front! Dian Wei has defeated three of the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River, leaving only one Gao Jie, who claims to be the king of Zhennan, who led his troops to flee to the north and took refuge in the Agni Empire. ”

"Now, the army of our Great Song Dynasty has occupied Jinling, and this rebellion has basically subsided. ”

Between the words, the meaning of celebration is overflowing.

"So fast!"

The ministers were all amazed.

Since Dian Wei set out on the expedition, it has only been a few days, and the four towns in Jiangnan have already been defeated.

The combat effectiveness of this Tiger Guardian is a little too terrifying.

However, Zhao Lin, who was on the throne, frowned, his eyes fell on the body of the military department Shangshu, and with a hint of reproach in his tone, he said: "The deadline I gave before was three days, and within three days, the battle would be over, but now, why did seven days pass before this rebellion ended?"

Hearing this, the hearts of the ministers were all secretly slandering that in just seven days, the rebellion in the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River had ended, and their emperor, His Majesty, was still not satisfied?

The face of the military department Shangshu couldn't help but change slightly, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, although the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River have a total of 400,000 people, they are all rabble, so there is nothing to worry about, the only thing that has blocked us for a few days is the tall and strong Jinling City." ”

Zhao Lin's pupils shrank slightly, "Oh? I didn't expect that the rebels of the 'Four Towns in the South of the Yangtze River' still had some combat effectiveness, and they could actually block our army outside Jinling City." ”

"If only the rebels of the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River defend the city, with the Tiger Ben guards led by General Dian Wei, the city can be captured in two days at most. ”

The military department Shangshu shook his head, and then a gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes, "However, there are many martial arts people guarding Jinling City this time, and they are our biggest opponents in this siege battle. ”

"Martial arts people?"

Zhao Lin's face was slightly gloomy, and a fierce color flashed, "Could it be someone from the Nine Shadows Sect?"

In the assassination operation of the Nine Shadows Sect in the eastern suburbs, two Dharma kings of the half-step Great Grandmaster realm were killed, and many masters were either killed or captured, and even the sect leader Nie Yuanlou was seriously injured by Cao Zhengchun, and his life and death were uncertain.

The remaining remnants of the Nine Shadows Sect still dare to rebel against the imperial court?

"It's not just the people of the Nine Shadows Sect,"

The military department Shangshu said: "Qinghu Island, the Giant Whale Gang and the Tibetan Sword Villa, the three major martial arts sects, have all sent the strongest people in the door to participate in the defense of the city, these martial arts people are all strong, it is precisely because of their existence that the army of the Great Song Dynasty has suffered a lot of losses." ”

"The Tiger Ben Guards lost about 500 people, and the ordinary siege soldiers killed more than 10,000 people. ”

Boom!

As soon as the words of the military department Shangshu fell, Zhao Lin's palm suddenly slapped on the armrest of the dragon chair, smashing the armrest.

"These martial arts people, so bold!"

Zhao Lin was furious.

When the alliance of the three major kingdoms of the Fire Empire, Xirong and Annan invaded, Dian Wei only led 300 Tiger Guards, and then killed the three kingdoms alliance army and abandoned their armor, defeated and fled.

Now, there is no loss in dealing with these hundreds of thousands of rebels, but under this Jinling City, five hundred people have been lost!

This is the elite troops he threw out with a lot of money!

If you die in battle, that's a big loss, let alone 500 people killed in the battle!

This result made Zhao Lin a little difficult to accept.

Seeing that Zhao Lin Longyan was furious, the secretary of the military department also hurriedly said: "But Your Majesty, after the city was broken, the martial arts people of the three major sects were also killed by our army, and General Dian Wei personally killed the deputy island master of Qinghu Island, a great grandmaster and a strong man. ”

When all the officials heard this, they were all shocked.

Qinghu Island, that is the giant sect in the Jiangnan martial arts, a deputy island owner, that is still a hot figure in the entire Jiangnan martial arts, and his strength is enough to be ranked among the top ten!

However, such a character was still killed by General Dian Wei!

Even the deputy island owner was killed, as strong as that Qinghu Island, this time it undoubtedly suffered a heavy blow!

"Not enough, not enough!"

Zhao Lin waved his hand, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle falcon, "This Jiangnan martial arts dares to rebel against the imperial court so blatantly, and he simply doesn't take me seriously." ”

"Then there is no need for them to continue to exist. ”

Zhao Lin's tone was extremely cold.

When the words fell, the ministers were all shocked in their hearts.

They raised their heads and looked at the figure on the dragon chair, and a look of surprise appeared in their eyes, their Emperor Majesty, is this planning to move the three major Jiangnan martial arts sects?

"Your Majesty, the three major sects of Jiangnan martial arts, Qinghu Island, Tibetan Sword Villa, and the Giant Whale Gang, are all long-standing sects that have been inherited for hundreds of years, and there are many disciples among the sects, and the masters are like clouds, which are enough to compete with the imperial court, and they cannot be moved lightly. ”

"Yes, the power of these three major sects has long been deep-rooted, and they have won the hearts of some people, once they start a war with them, I am afraid that the outcome will be unpredictable. ”

"The reason why the three major sects are against the imperial court is nothing more than to want to get a piece of the pie in the financial resources of Jiangnan, so why don't we go with the flow and issue a decree to acquiesce in their respective territories and spheres of influence, so that they will no longer rebel against the imperial court. ”

“......”

All of a sudden, hundreds of officials came in one after another to dissuade Zhao Lin and the three major martial arts sects from becoming enemies.

These three Jianghu sects are all powerful, and if they are twisted together, they are an extremely powerful force.

Enough to rival a country.

Moreover, there have always been rules in this world.

That is, the imperial court does not interfere in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and the martial arts of the rivers and lakes do not interfere in the affairs of the court.

This is an unwritten rule that has been slowly formed over thousands of years.

Although I don't know how many times this rule has been secretly broken, on the surface, all countries and sects still strictly abide by this rule.

And now, if Zhao Lin sends an army to suppress the three major martial arts sects on the surface, it will be breaking the rules.

There is no doubt that it will cause opposition from all over the world!

It is very likely that at that time, not only the Jiangnan martial arts, but also the entire southern martial arts, and even the northern martial arts, will jump out and crusade against the Great Song Dynasty.

The situation of the court of the Great Song Dynasty will be very passive.

Zhao Lin also knows this.

"Why are you so nervous, I didn't say that I would send a large army to requisition the three major martial arts sects. ”

Zhao Lin glanced at the civil and military officials, and then said lightly: "Don't worry, I am not so stupid and push myself to the opposite side of the entire world's martial arts." ”

"To deal with the three major schools of Jiangnan martial arts, I have my own good strategy. ”

Have a solution?

The ministers looked at each other a little.

In addition to sending troops to recruit and suppress, what other good strategy can Zhao Lin have to destroy the three major martial arts sects?

I'm afraid this is simply not possible.

However, the ministers naturally don't care about this, as long as Zhao Lin doesn't come nonsense, everything is easy to say.

But Zhao Lin already had an idea in his heart.

Sending troops to recruit and suppress is the next policy.

As for the best policy, it is to send people to blend into the martial arts, and use the means of the Jianghu people to destroy the three major sects and unify the entire Jiangnan martial arts for his use.

It's just that this candidate, whether it is Dian Wei, Cao Zhengchun, or even himself, has to be considered again.
