Chapter 30: Confrontation
When the officers and soldiers listened to Xiao Tan's words, they were indeed moved.
On a hot day, the sun hung in the sky, and the people sat in front of the palace, waiting for the monarch to come and give them an explanation. The generals in front of them were also dutiful, although they did not kill these rebellious people with the emperor's orders, but the door of this palace was not let in casually.
The people were tired just now, so they stopped messing with the generals, so they sat at the door, retaining their strength, these generals are not much better, the weather is very hot, even snails will hide in the shade, let alone people? They wore heavy armor, but they could not remove it, and the sweat on their necks would drip down at any moment, as if a war was about to break out between them and the people.
There was still a stiff confrontation outside the palace, but the monarch inside the palace was having a good time, although the people in front of him were denouncing, but it did not affect him, and the killing that had just been ordered did not seem to exist, so the monarch's heart was made of stone.
"Report~~" The voice of the generals guarding the palace gate came from afar. The monarch was lying down at this time, and there was a special ice cube inside, and he didn't feel hot at all.
Therefore, when the generals first entered this cool place, they couldn't help but shiver. I thought to myself: "This emperor's life is really good, we are working hard outside, but he is here to enjoy the success." Sure enough, what the little brother who advised us just now was right. ”
The emperor slowly got up, looked at the kneeling generals below, and said lazily: "How is it, have the people who made trouble have been dealt with?" ”
"Your Majesty, yet, not yet." The general said cautiously, for fear that his next words would anger the emperor. "The generals outside are all thinking of the people's care for them over the years, the people are our world, and they really can't do it!"
"What? Haven't dealt with it yet? Why are these minions still planning to rebel? Hmph, your heaven and earth, you must remember that this heaven and earth were laid by me, and I am your food and clothing parents! What a guts! When the monarch heard the words of the general, he was furious and pushed away the beauty beside him, regardless of whether she was crying or chirping.
"I tell you that I am the master of this world. Without me, you are nothing. Don't try to rebel against me. If you resist, you will end up worse. So are the untouchables outside the door, and so are you. Don't say you can't do it. The lives of those untouchables are not worth your pity. ”
"Just remember that you are my lackeys, the monarch is angry, and his words have become very extreme. As a man of all people, the monarch does have such a right. But that doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants. In the end, he shouted as if with all his strength: "Get out of here!" Go back and tell your generals, if it doesn't work out, pull all of you to behead! ”
What he didn't expect was that all these words were heard by the soldiers who rushed over. Originally, I was still a little shaken by what the little brother with a masked face said before, I felt that after all, he was a monarch and couldn't disobey him like this, but now it seems that those so-called mercy are all fake.
There was no need for them to die for such a monarch, and the general at the head was very angry when he heard this, and he jumped into the palace hall in two or three steps. When the group leader saw that there were more and more soldiers in front of him, he didn't laugh but got angry. "You didn't understand what I said, did you? I'll let you go! ”
"This is the so-called emperor? The leader turned his head and said to the tens of thousands of soldiers below. We worked for it, but he treated us like ants. What use do we want such a monarch? "He pointed to the monarch and said, 'Why don't we take his head and save the people of this country ourselves!'"
The monarch was shocked and shouted, "What do you want to do?" I'm the emperor, you don't have the right to do this, get out of here! "Those soldiers who originally listened to the monarch's words also rebelled today, no longer cowering forward, and detained the monarch.
At this time, the monarch has long lost the domineering spirit he had at the beginning, and he has long been frightened. Looking at the generals in front of him, he knew that it was useless for him to threaten them now. My eldest husband since elementary school can bend and stretch, and now he can use it. But as everyone knows, his current performance is even more spurned by those generals.
"Whatever you want, I will give it to you, don't take my head and give me a head. I am the head of a country, how will this country survive without me? ”
In fact, the soldiers are still wavering, indeed, although the leading generals say that they can manage the country, they are not pure blood after all, and it is impossible to manage the country well.
The monarch saw that these soldiers were a little shaken, and knew that he had hope of life, so he continued: "Say, whatever you want, I can satisfy you, whether you want this beauty, or gold, or want to be a great official." I can satisfy you. ”
"Dog Emperor. What we want is not these, what we want is for you to cancel that government. The existence of that government makes the people unhappy, you are a monarch, I am not your lackey, what you have to do is to protect our world. Instead of trying to exploit us. Here today, right now, if you don't cancel the guarantee immediately, we're going to take your head. ”
"You choose for yourself, after speaking, the general led by him put a long sword against the monarch's neck, the monarch felt a chill in his neck, and he hurriedly said to the eunuch beside him: "Hurry up and listen to my orders, go and cancel those governments, my life is important." ”
The soldiers listened to him, and waited patiently for the eunuchs to give the monarch's instructions. When the eunuchs came back to receive the decree, he said: "When the world has been announced to abolish the government, the generals are relieved, they feel a little relieved for themselves, and they also feel relaxed for the people at the door, and then the masked man appeared again on the wall opposite the palace, and he waved his hand to the soldiers led by him, signaling that the emperor could be let go."
The soldiers at the head saw it, and they listened to his idea, and after listening to this little brother's words before, they found that it was right, and now they listen to him even more. The soldier put down his sword, and then all the soldiers knelt down and said to the emperor: "Since the emperor has abolished the government, we will no longer embarrass you." We will now retreat at once, and immediately disarm and return to the field, and never appear again. ”
Xiao Tan saw that the matter was almost settled, so he immediately went back to the prince's mansion and told Jing Yuan everything about it.
The matter over there has been withdrawn. Xiao Tan here already wanted to explain the whole thing, Jing Yuan listened to Xiao Tan's words and felt that he had done a good job, so he opened his mouth and praised.
"You are worthy of being a brother who has followed me for many years, I can rest assured that you will do things." Jing Yuan patted Xiao Tan's shoulder and gave him an encouraging smile. And Xiao Tan saw his master, so sure that he scratched his head a little embarrassed, that is, because of this, he will be more loyal to his master, because his master has absolute trust in himself, which will never be obtained from others.
Then Jing Yuan straightened his face, and then motioned to Xiao Tan to discuss the next matters. "Now that the emperor has withdrawn from power, this is the first step of our success, first of all, we have relieved the difficulties of the people. But then we have to take it one step at a time, and we can't make a mistake, otherwise we will lose everything. ”
"The subordinates understand that they will do their best to help their masters." Xiao Tan tried his best and made up his mind. "Alright, let's talk about what's next. How's it going to be with what you've been told to do? ”
"The subordinates have met with all the ministers, and have told them the pros and cons, the current monarch is actually gone, and all we need is for us to further promote the minister's ideas."
Those ministers are worthy of having been in the court for so many years, and they know which way to fall, where the trend of the court is, and the money has been collected, so do they all agree? Jing Yuan sneered.
Seeing those boxes of gold, the ministers' eyes were directly golden, and they would definitely agree, it seems that the so-called honest courtiers of the country are not a good thing. On the surface, he disliked the gold, but in fact, when he saw these real money, he was happier than anyone else, and immediately agreed to Xiao Tan's request.
"You know, it's fine. These people say that they are ministers at best, but if they are ugly, they are the emperor's lackeys, and they are bought and hooked casually, and we don't have to go through a lot of trouble. Jing Yuan dug a spoonful of fish food and slowly sprinkled it in the fish pond, and the fish slowly moved closer to this side.
"Listen to you, I have made a good disguise, and I am wearing a mask, so that no one will recognize me, you can rest assured." When Xiao Tan went to meet these ministers, he wore different masks.
Although they got the gold, these courtiers were not at ease in their hearts, and they would definitely inquire about Xiao Tan's affairs in private, but they would never know who Xiao Tan was, let alone that Xiao Tan was King Jing's person.
When Jing Yuan was about to speak, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he waved his hand to signal Xiao Tan not to make a sound. Then he threw all the fish food in his hand into the fish pond, and suddenly the fish pond boiled, and the fish all moved closer to this side. Jing Yuan walked to the window, leaned against the window, and listened softly.
Then he straightened up, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he straightened his voice, and then said to the door: "Chu Xia, come in, I know you are outside." ”
Chu Xia didn't expect that he was so well hidden, and he could still be discovered by Jing Yuan, and it seemed that he had a lot of cultivation skills. She crept in the door, then hung up the door and window again, and touched her nose to hide her embarrassment, after all, she still overheard someone else's words.
