Chapter 128: Beheading for public display

Li Zhen stayed at Qingyuanmen for a few days, and after making some arrangements, he hurried back to the imperial capital.

Although the affairs in the imperial capital are said to be handled by his father, he is the king of a country after all, and it is very inappropriate for such a big thing to happen without even showing his face.

When he returned to the imperial capital with his people, the Zongren Mansion had already begun to rebuild.

Zongren Mansion is an important part of the imperial city, after being razed to the ground by Yufu, many surrounding buildings and facilities have also been affected to varying degrees, Li Zhen looked at the mess in front of him, and regretted letting Yufu die too easily.

"This bastard should be cut with a thousand cuts!"

Li Zhen said angrily: "You all disperse, I'll go to see my father." โ€

Li Zhen waved his hand and asked his subordinates to go to work, he wanted to see his father and the emperor to learn about the specific casualties of the Zongren Mansion.

As soon as the Zongren Mansion was destroyed, the father and the clan elders temporarily moved to an idle palace slightly closer to the Zongren Mansion.

After Li Zhen came, he didn't see the elder of the big clan and the elder of the second clan, and there was only one father and emperor in the palace.

"Father! How big is the loss of the Zongren Mansion? โ€

Li Zhen asked.

When the Emperor Taishang heard this, he sighed, did not speak, his eyes were full of sadness, he stretched out his hand and put a copy of the statistics in front of Li Zhen, and said, "See for yourself." โ€

Seeing this, Li Zhen chuckled in his heart.

The father was reluctant to speak, it can be seen that the loss is far beyond imagination, and this is indeed the case, when he saw the statistics, Li Zhen couldn't help but gasp.

A total of 37 members of the royal family died, including five first-robber immortals, two second-robber immortals, and two clan elders, in addition, more than 100 people were seriously injured and lightly injured. It is no exaggeration to say that Yufu directly caused the Li royal family to lose half of the cultivation masters, and this is a huge loss that has not been seen since the founding of the Chinese Kingdom.

Li Zhen hated it so much that he wanted to immediately use Yuzhen and Yuqing to vent his anger.

"The Zhengzhen Sect is definitely an existence that we can't afford to provoke, if we kill their disciples, the other party will definitely not give up afterwards, how to deal with it, you need to be prepared in advance."

Emperor Taishang reminded Li Zhen.

Li Zhen nodded, indicating that he knew what he knew.

When the Zhengzhen faction gets the news, they will definitely come to settle the account, Li Zhen and Huaguo will definitely not be able to bear their revenge, and they have to count on Cangmang Mountain Peng seniors to deal with the Zhengzhen faction, if Peng seniors can't cope with it, they can only resign themselves to fate, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, but no matter what, Li Zhen will never let go of Yuzhen and Yuqing because of the strength of the Zhengzhen faction, and the two will eventually die, and there is no room for negotiation.

Now that he has returned to the imperial capital, Yuzhen and Yuqing will soon be convicted and beheaded for public display.

The father and son immediately talked about some things, and the Emperor Taishang asked Li Zhen not to focus on the side of the Zongren Mansion and to go about his own affairs, Li Zhen nodded and left.

Li Zhen turned his head and went to the imperial study, where Elder Zhang Ge and General Xu had been waiting for a long time.

"Weichen see Your Majesty!"

"The last general will meet Your Majesty!"

When the two saw Li Zhen, they hurriedly saluted.

Li Zhen waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, and said: "Since I ascended the throne, it has not stopped, and everything that happens these days has to be given by Liang Guo, I originally thought that I would start a war after some time, but now it seems that there is no need to wait." โ€

"Uncle Zhang is responsible for the mobilization of logistics supplies, and General Xu can gather a large army, and he must start within seven days to attack Liang State!"

As soon as the words fell, Elder Zhang Ge and General Xu received the order without hesitation.

"By Your Majesty's will! This expedition will destroy the Liang State. โ€

What happened in Huaguo recently, the civil and military officials in the court were also very angry, first of all, Li Zhen's enthronement ceremony was made a big fuss, although he did not suffer a loss, but such an important occasion was disrupted, which is a shame for a country, and secondly, the Zongren Mansion was razed to the ground, which made Huaguo completely angry.

After the two received the order, they said goodbye and left, Li Zhen suddenly remembered someone and asked, "What is General Sun doing now?" โ€

General Sun is Sun Jian, a famous general of the Liang State, since he was captured by Li Zhen, Li Zhen has not paid attention to him because of the heavy matter.

"I'm idle at home now."

General Xu replied.

Li Zhen nodded, and arranged: "Allocate the captured Liang army to him, reorganize the troops, and order him to conquer the vassal states of the Liang State." โ€

When Elder Zhang Ge and General Xu heard this, their faces showed hesitation.

The captured Liang army was tens of thousands, and handing over these horses to Sun Jian was no less than letting the tiger return to the mountain.

"Your Majesty! I'm afraid it's not appropriate, after all, .................."

Zhang Ge Lao wanted to persuade, but Li Zhen raised his hand to stop it, and said: "Now it's just to find a three-year-old child on the side of the road, and you know that Liang is not far from the death of the country, even if Sun Jian is willing to fight for Liang Guo, I don't believe that those Liang soldiers are also willing to fight a battle that will be defeated and killed." โ€

When Elder Zhang Ge and General Xu heard this, they fell into a short period of contemplation, then nodded and agreed with Li Zhen's statement.

Liang State, Liang Imperial City.

The recent events in Huaguo have reached the ears of Emperor Liang, and Emperor Liang can't help but feel like ashes when he learns that the efforts of the national teacher have been in vain, and he is still dying.

He was saddened by the death of the national teacher, after all, the two had similar temperaments, had been friends for decades, and had deep feelings, and they were by no means ordinary monarchs and ministers. The second is that he has seen that the Liang Kingdom is not far from the day of destruction, and has even seen his end.

It is unlikely that Hua Guo will retaliate against the Zhengzhen faction, but there is absolutely no problem with taking Liang Guo out.

Now there are two paths in front of Emperor Liang, one is to surrender.

Now surrender, there is still a way to live, and even keep the glory and wealth, and it is not impossible to get a hereditary king with a different surname.

The second is to resist to the end.

Send someone to deepen the connection with the Zhengzhen faction now, after all, Hua Guo killed the disciples of the Zhengzhen faction, the Zhengzhen faction will definitely not give up, the two tigers are fighting, Liang Guo can get a lot of respite, and even directly switch to the Zhengzhen faction, this is also a good way.

There are pros and cons to these two methods, and Emperor Liang couldn't grasp it for a while.

In the past, he would discuss with the national teacher, but now that the national teacher is dead, he has really become a loner.

Just when Emperor Liang was wavering, the two elders who had been arranged by the Zhengzhen faction to investigate the cause of Yufu Zhenren's death came to the Nanping Domain.

On the fifth day of Li Zhen's return to the imperial capital, the trial of Yuzhen and Yuqing came.

Zhang Ge Lao announced the guilt.

"The two elders of the Zhengzhen faction, Yuzhen and Yuqing, infiltrated the territory of our country, killed the members of the royal family, and even wanted to assassinate His Majesty of our country, the crime is extremely heinous, and the current crime is as follows.................."

The two were convicted of 18 counts, all of which were capital offenses.

Yu Zhen and Yu Qing knew that they would definitely die, and their faces were like ashes, and they were high up before, but now they are not even as good as beggars.

"Immediately pull to the noon gate and behead the public!"

After Zhang Ge Lao read out the guilt, he waved his big hand, and the soldiers pressed Yuzhen and Yuqing to the noon gate.

In the history of Huaguo, the two real people were the first immortal cultivators to be declared guilty by the imperial court and beheaded at the noon gate.
