Chapter 34: Confrontation in front of the army
In front of the forbidden army, the sound of horses' hooves pierced the night sky.
In a short time, a group of cavalry raised billowing smoke and arrived not far from the forbidden army camp.
"Who's coming?" On one side, Jiang Zhenting asked in a low voice from a distance.
Now Jiang Zhenting has been appointed by Xu Jing as the new commander of the forbidden army, with full authority to take charge of the forbidden army.
"I am Gao Feng, the chief general of the local border army in Liaodong! Who are you? ”
Under a military flag with a white wolf's head, a general in dark armor rode forward from the army and asked loudly.
"I am Jiang Zhenting, the commander of the forbidden army, I don't know why General Gao brought the army to my forbidden army camp late at night?"
Jiang Zhenting asked coldly at Gao Feng in the distance.
"General Ben received news that there was a rebellion among the forbidden army, and I came to exterminate the rebel army by order."
"However, I've heard that the commander of the forbidden army has a clear surname Xiao, when did a commander surnamed Jiang jump out?"
"General Jiang can't be the one who plots rebellion, right?"
Gao Feng sneered and looked at Jiang Zhenting, who was standing on a high place, and said coldly.
"Presumptuous! I am appointed by His Majesty, and you dare to question my identity? ”
Jiang Zhenting's eyes were slightly cold, staring at Gao Feng in the distance.
"Your Majesty's appointment? Is there a holy decree? Without a holy decree, what you say is not true. Gao Feng continued to ask.
"What more holy decree do I need here? What I say is the royal way! ”
Xu Jing's eyes were cold and he slowly walked to the front of the stage, looked at Gao Feng in the distance and said lightly.
"Who are you?"
Gao Feng frowned slightly, in the plan, the new emperor should have died a long time ago, and he came here to kill all the witnesses in the forbidden army along with Xiao Jiasheng.
In order to completely disrupt the assassination of the new emperor of the current dynasty, and create the illusion that there was turmoil within the forbidden army and the new emperor died in the turmoil.
But now, the damned Xu Jing is still standing in front of him alive, which is very unexpected.
"Who am I? Interesting, I don't even know that I am the new emperor of the dynasty? It seems that it is time for the army of Daqian to be cleansed. ”
Xu Jing sneered, looking at Gao Feng as if he were looking at a clown.
"Your Majesty? How can it be! Your Majesty is in the inner palace of Kyoto at this moment, how can he be here? ”
At present, Gao Feng categorically can't admit that he has the intention of rebellion, and can only vigorously deny Xu Jingnai's identity as an emperor.
"What? Do you still want to question my identity? Do you still want to lead the troops straight to the barracks? ”
Xu Jing sneered and asked a series of questions, pointing directly at Gao Feng's next move.
Listening to Xu Jing's questions, fine sweat was already oozing from Gao Feng's forehead.
Gao Feng is now in a dilemma. Going forward is a rebellion, which is a major crime related to the punishment of the nine clans. Retreat but unwilling, after all, it is only one step away from establishing meritorious deeds and becoming a king with a different surname!
"What? General Gao hasn't decided whether to do it yet? ”
Xu Jing looked at the hesitant Gao Feng and asked with a sneer.
"General Gao had better plan ahead. Time waits for no one. ”
Xu Jingyou looked at Gao Feng fearlessly and said with a light smile.
"General, don't you count it? I'm afraid that Xiao Jiasheng's gang has been defeated, and we will rebel if we go any further! Instead of tearing up his face with the new emperor, it is better to retreat and treat it as if nothing happened. ”
On one side, Vice Admiral Gao Feng stepped forward and leaned on Gao Feng's ear and whispered.
Gao Feng's eyes flickered, and he seemed to agree with this.
As the adjutant general said, at this moment they have lost the opportunity and have no chance of winning.
If the stalemate continues, no one will want to get the slightest benefit.
Rather than continuing the stalemate, it is better to retreat as if nothing happened.
"Your Majesty, the news of the last general is wrong, if it disturbs Your Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty."
After Gao Feng thought about it, he put on a smiling face and shouted back to Xu Jing in the distance.
"It's okay, General Gao is also so anxious."
Xu Jing also responded with a light smile.
"Since Your Majesty has nothing to do, the last general will retire for the time being."
Gao Feng was sure that Xu Jing had no intention of settling accounts after the autumn, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he was going to leave with the army.
"I'm also tired, General Gao just has to leave."
Xu Jing's tone was calm, as if he didn't care.
In fact, Xu Jing has already set his sights on all the armies of Daqian.
As long as Xu Jing returns to the East Palace, he will definitely change the entire army system!
Otherwise, if the armed forces in various localities are allowed to develop unchecked, it will not be long before the army of the Great Cadres will surely become the biggest hidden danger to the throne of the Great Cadres!
"Your Majesty, what should Xiao Jiasheng do?"
Gonggong Cao walked to Xu Jing's side and asked.
"Thrown into prison, tomorrow the news will be released, I want to see how many people will be involved in this matter."
Xu Jing said expressionlessly.
Gonggong Cao only felt that he was haunted by the cold, and he was so cold that he couldn't say a word.
Last time, Xu Jing looked like this, but it was enough to kill hundreds of people before he stopped!
At this moment, Xu Jing showed such a look again, God knows how many people will die in this turmoil?
That night, Xu Jing was personally escorted into the palace by Jiang Zhenting with hundreds of soldiers.
At the same time, there was also a commotion and panic inside and outside the Xiao Mansion.
Not long ago, they just learned of something that was enough to hit the entire Xiao family hard - the Xiao family failed to rebel and was arrested!
"Damn! This damn thing! ”
Xiao Daoling sat in the study, angrily smashing everything in his sight.
He had already ordered the whole Xiao Mansion that no one was allowed to do anything to Xu Jing without permission.
Let Xu Jing and the King of Qi and the three vassal kings fight each other.
But who would have thought that the Xiao family would still jump out of an idiot, not only directly participating in this rebellion, but also ending up being captured alive!
In this way, even the Xiao family, who had already made up their minds, was invisibly involved in this chaos.
"Uncle, what should we do?"
Xiao Longgong was looking at Xiao Daoling with a sad face at the moment and asked.
Rebellion is a first-class sin! Even Xiao Daoling, as the prime minister, once he participates in this matter, it is difficult to have a good end.
In addition, there is already a grudge between the new emperor and the Xiao family, and there is more of this conclusive crime.
What would the new emperor think? And what will be done? The Xiao family can clearly predict it.
"Right now, the only way is to let Xiao Jiasheng talk less. It is categorically impossible to let it be too deeply involved with the Xiao family! ”
"Also, tonight, all the Xiao Jiasheng lineages will be removed from the family tree!"
Xiao Daoling spoke coldly and made a decision.
"Uncle, does this really work?"
Xiao Changgong was a little worried, and he didn't think that what Xiao Daoling did was really useful.
"You just have to listen to me, and now you can only do your best. Also, send letters to my students immediately, and categorically not mention the Xiao family in front of the new emperor! ”
Xiao Daoling then thought of something and said quickly.
"Uncle, isn't this pushing the Xiao family down the road to loneliness?"
Xiao Changgong was very puzzled, why did the Xiao family go the opposite way and give up all his cronies to support it.
