Chapter 25 The Huo family is destroyed, and the prince is regent
When the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu learned the news, his face was full of shock.
One moment ago, they were still discussing how to deal with Huo Yu's 100,000 army, and they were even ready for a hard battle, but the next moment there was news that the 100,000 Huo army was broken and Huo Yu was captured.
The gap between the front and back is a little difficult for anyone to accept.
It is that Emperor Jian'an has become accustomed to Zhao Hongming's everything, and at this moment he feels that he is in a dream, which is incredible.
After collecting his thoughts, Jian'an Emperor Zhao Fuxu asked with a serious expression: "What's going on?" You tell me in detail. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The guards who had come to deliver the message had already received detailed information.
In the face of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, he described the deeds of Zhao Hongming leading 2,000 Wei soldiers to break through the 100,000 Huo army camp, and told everyone in the hall about the process before and after.
When he spoke, the guard's expression was extremely serious, as if every word and sentence had been carefully considered before he spoke.
After the guards finished speaking, there was silence in the court.
That's an army of 100,000!
As a martial artist, no matter how high his cultivation is, in the face of such a number of people, he can kill people to the fullest.
Even if it was the palace master of Chihe Palace, he didn't dare to go deep easily.
And the two thousand Wei soldiers under the leadership of Zhao Hongming were like entering a no-man's land.
This is no longer just a matter of cultivating to be strong enough to cover up the past.
Obviously, at present, the prince of Great Wei is extremely not simple, he has both profound martial arts cultivation and high courage.
Such a prince of Wei will undoubtedly change the pattern of Wei's domestic and foreign affairs.
Each officer pondered the message and what it meant for each.
The Emperor watched them quietly with a smile in his eyes, waiting for their reaction.
After a while, the first to break the silence was the palm print eunuch Feng Dabao, who took the lead and said happily: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince defeated the Huo army in one fell swoop, and the threat of Daliang City has been solved. ”
After Feng Dabao spoke, other officials also began to echo him.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty......"
“……”
All kinds of beautiful words are endless, filling the hall.
Many ministers all expressed their admiration for Zhao Hongming and praise for Emperor Jian'an.
Emperor Jian'an, who has always been serious, also had a rare dragon face at this time, and said sincerely: "This Qilin'er of mine is really a big husband!" ”
Since the founding of the Great Wei Kingdom, except for the first Wei kings, none of the remaining generations of Wei kings has had military exploits on the battlefield or had the experience of fighting horses.
Even the Zhao clan of the Wei State did not have it.
Zhao Hongming was the first of the kind.
Not to mention the exaggerated record at the moment.
It's simply unprecedented.
As his father, he has an honor.
Seeing that the situation was almost over, Xiao Boling, the right man of the Zhongshu, stood up and said: "Now that Huo Yu's army has been broken, and the remaining henchmen of the Huo family have no room for resistance, after that, my Great Wei State will definitely have long-term peace and stability, and it is just around the corner to overwhelm Chu State and become the most powerful country among the six countries." ”
The Huo family experienced the three dynasties of the Wei State and had already become a problem for the Zhao family of the Wei State.
Now after the hidden danger of this royal family is completely eradicated, the royal power of the Zhao clan of the Wei State will inevitably be further consolidated.
At least within a few generations, there will be no scene like Emperor Xiang of Zhao Guocheng.
It is not impossible to overwhelm the state of Chu and become the most powerful country, or even unify the world.
"Hahaha......" Emperor Jian'an thought of something, and his expression couldn't help but become grim: "After this incident, the Huo family is very rebellious, and no one can protect them." But ......"
Zhongshu Zuo Cheng Hong Daowen followed: "Is Your Majesty worried about the Huo Family Ancestor and the Sword Casting Villa?" ”
Jian'an Emperor Zhao Hongming nodded and said: "After all, the ancestor of the Huo family has a lot of qualifications, and his relationship with the Zhengyi family is irreversible, and the rising star of Sword Casting Villa is very mysterious. If these two martial arts forces join forces, I'm afraid it will be a trouble. ”
"Your Majesty, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridgehead, since Huo Yu has solved it, the remaining martial arts forces will naturally have a way to solve it. Time is on our side. A minister next to him stood up and said.
"That's all there is to it."
Jian'an Emperor Zhao Fuxu regretted in his heart: "If only the ancestor of the Huo family had exhausted his longevity at this time." Then at least the main sect has lost five elders, and it can be honest for a while. ”
Seeing that everyone was discussing the matter of the Huo family's ancestor, the guard kneeling in the main hall had a strange face, and after a while, he stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, there is still something to tell you about your humble position." ”
Emperor Jian'an's face was stunned, and he didn't know why he had a familiar feeling: "What's the matter?" ”
"That...... The ancestor of the Huo family has been killed by His Royal Highness! ”
Emperor Jian'an and many ministers: "......"
After a while, Emperor Jian'an, who had been numb by the shock, sneered: "In this case, the Huo family is indeed not afraid. ”
"When will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrive in Daliang?"
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the distance, there is almost half an hour left!"
Jian'an Emperor Zhao Fuxu said with a slight smile on his face: "The ministers went with me outside the palace to pick up the wind and wash the dust for His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
"Yes!"
Outside the city of Daliang.
Zhao Hongming took two thousand Wei warriors, escorted Huo Yu and other criminal rebels to approach slowly, and after revealing his identity, he rode a high-headed horse into Daliang City.
His appearance attracted the attention of many residents in the city, who came to watch.
Behind him, Wei Wushu hurriedly stepped forward to open the way and maintain order.
For a time, the streets were crowded.
Zhao Hongming actually didn't like this feeling.
But he also knew that acting in such a high-profile manner in front of the public would enhance his prestige.
There are only benefits and no harm to his succession to the throne.
He kept a straight face all the way, showing the majesty of the royal family.
At this time, outside the bustling royal palace.
Emperor Jian'an Zhao Fuxu and his ministers were anxiously waiting.
Some ministers stood in place and shook their bodies uneasily, glancing ahead from time to time, looking forward to Zhao Hongming's appearance.
After a commotion ahead.
They saw Zhao Hongming's heroic figure in battle armor.
Emperor Jian'an pointed ahead and whispered to Feng Dabao beside him: "Look, this is my crown prince!" ”
Feng Dabao said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a dragon and a phoenix, and his aura is magnificent, and he knows at a glance that he is a royal nobleman and a proud son of the sky." The return of this expedition has added glory to my Great Wei Zhao clan, and it will definitely be admired by the Chinese people! ”
In the face of Feng Dabao's compliment, Emperor Jian'an seemed very appreciative and said: "Well, the crown prince is indeed my pride. Seeing him so good, I, as my father, naturally felt gratified. I can rest assured that I will hand over the country of Great Wei to him. ”
Zhao Hongming quickly walked in front of Emperor Jian'an, he turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands and said, "Erchen greets his father." ”
Emperor Jian'an walked to Zhao Hongming's side, helped him up, looked up and down, and said, "I have heard your battle report, and I have done a good job. ”
Zhao Hongming smiled slightly and said: "Serving the Great Wei is the duty of the sons. ”
Saying that, he sent Huo Yu and other criminal ministers behind him to Emperor Jian'an and other ministers, and said: "Erchen has arrested all the Huo family thieves, please send your father." ”
In front of the solemn and glorious palace, Huo Yu was tied up with five flowers, like a beast to be slaughtered, and was pushed to Emperor Jian'an.
His arms were tied behind his back, his body was tightly tied to the post, unable to move, and his eyes were full of horror and uneasiness, as if he was aware of his next fate.
Jian'an Emperor Zhao Fuxu stared at Huo Yu with a cold and majestic gaze, his originally happy face suddenly became indifferent, and an invisible chill centered on him and spread around.
Under Zhao Yuxu's gaze, Huo Yu and many other rebel generals seemed to be blown by a cold wind, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.
The surrounding palace guards and officials stood silently, without making any sound.
There was a solemn atmosphere at the entrance of the entire palace, as if even the air was frozen.
After a long time, Emperor Jian'an Zhao Fuxu slowly spoke: "So far, do you have anything else to say?" ”
His voice, though calm, was full of majesty and oppression.
Huo Yu lowered his head, did not dare to look at Emperor Jian'an, and remained silent.
"Why, can't you even think of quibbles?" Emperor Jian'an sneered: "My Great Wei Zhao family thinks of your Huo family's hard work, and treats your Huo family well, you actually do such a big rebellious thing, which makes me really chilling." ”
"Not thin?" Huo Yu raised his head and smiled. There was a resolute glint in his eyes: "Since you ascended the throne, you have all wanted to target my Huo family, and you still said that you will treat my Huo family well?" What did you do to your big brother? The cunning rabbit died and the lackey cooked. If you become a king or lose a villain, if you want to kill, you must listen to it! ”
Jian'an Emperor Zhao Yuxu did not answer immediately, but fell silent.
The anger and disappointment in his heart swelled like a tide, but as the emperor, he quickly regained his composure and sanity in full view of everyone.
After a while, Emperor Jian'an, Zhao Yuxu, announced: "Someone, spread my will." Huo Yu rebelled with his generals, and his crime should be punished, razing the nine clans! The rest of the participants were beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, and their families were distributed to the frontier and degraded to lowly status! ”
"Yes!" Many guards from the front division of the palace stepped forward to carry out the orders of Emperor Jian'an Zhao Yuxu.
When death was really imminent, even Huo Yu, who had experienced a hundred battles, had a look of fear flashing on his face, and there was a trance.
The surrounding palace guards and officials saw that Huo Yu and the others were pulled down, and they knew that the Huo family was completely finished.
The pattern of the court has been completely rewritten.
The power that originally belonged to the Huo family and its henchmen will be concentrated in the hands of Emperor Jian'an.
Just when everyone thought that Emperor Jian'an Zhao Fuxu was going to continue to control the government.
The emperor made a decision that no one expected.
Zhao Yuxu stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Hongming's arm and announced, "My crown prince has a literary and martial strategy, and he can be called a pillar of the country. I announce that from now on, the crown prince will be regent on my behalf! ”
The ministers in front of the palace were in an uproar, and they exchanged heads and whispered to each other.
Once the regent is regent, it means that it will not be long before His Royal Highness the newly crowned crown prince will ascend the throne as emperor.
That's a bit too fast.
Since ancient times, when the King of Wei succeeded to the throne, it was when the previous King of Wei died.
It is really strange that someone like Emperor Jian'an took the initiative to give way to the crown prince.
To say that the King of Thailand forced the palace before, it is understandable that he was forced to do so.
But now that the imperial court has stabilized, it is the time to prosper.
They all felt that Zhao Yuxu's decision was a bit hasty.
Emperor Jian'an frowned.
Feng Dabao, who was beside him, immediately shouted: "Silence! ”
The ministers immediately fell silent.
Emperor Jian'an took a deep breath and said loudly, "I know that this decision is a surprise to you, but the crown prince has proven his ability. There is no need for me to covet power. I believe that under the leadership of such a crown prince, the Wei State will be able to reach unprecedented heights and realize the long-cherished wish of the previous king. ”
A minister dressed in a red official uniform walked out of the crowd and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, we all believe in the crown prince's talents. However, governing a large country is like cooking a small fresh, and it should not be changed in this way, and it should be ...... according to the etiquette law."
"In troubled times, we should use heavy codes. I've made up my mind, so I don't have to talk about it anymore! ”
Emperor Jian'an made the final decision.
At present, Zhao Hongming's prestige is rising, if he is in charge of the imperial court, there will inevitably be a lot less resistance, if he waits for a few more years, I don't know what kind of changes will occur, and it is unpredictable whether he will travel to the new "Huo family" to contain the court.
It's better to take advantage of the current momentum to push Zhao Hongming up.
Zhao Hongming's growth speed is too fast, and the power in his hands is far beyond the scope of a prince's grasp.
No matter how much he covets power, it doesn't make sense.
Maybe because of this, the father and son will turn against each other and not die well.
It's better to take advantage of the trend and live for the rest of your life.
Zhao Hongming on the side kept his composure, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you, father." Erchen is ready, and he will do his best to die for my Great Wei. ”
Emperor Jian'an nodded with satisfaction: "Okay!" I believe you will do better. ”
Many Wei warriors standing behind Zhao Hongming couldn't help but show joy when they heard the news.
As their highnesses continue to move to high places, their status is also rising, and the future is promising.
On this day, Huo Yu and others were convicted and beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, marking the complete destruction of the Huo family.
There are three to five hundred Huo henchmen involved in this.
For a time, there were people rolling in Daliang City every day.
In a hidden mountain villa outside the city of Daliang.
Huo Xianshui paced nervously.
When a middle-aged man in black came back, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "Uncle He, how are my fathers?" ”
"Alas...... Miss's Day mourning. ”
Huo Xianshui's face turned pale: "Uncle He, what do you mean?" ”
The middle-aged man said: "Master, they have been defeated and have been beheaded, and anyone who has anything to do with our Huo family will either be imprisoned in the prison or beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, and the Huo family will ...... It's gone......"
"Ah...... How could this be...... Huo Xianshui couldn't accept it for a while: "My father obviously brought 100,000 troops!" ”
"It's all because of His Royal Highness King Wu."
"The Five Princes?"
The middle-aged man nodded: "King Wu, no, now he should be called His Royal Highness the Prince, he led two thousand soldiers to break through the lord's 100,000 army, and the lord was defeated because of this, and even the ancestor was also lost in his hands." ”
"How can this be ......"
Huo Xianshui's throat moved slightly, as if something was blocked in his throat, and it was difficult to speak.
Kill the five elders of the Zhengyi Sect, fight 100,000 soldiers, and promote martial arts......
The person she didn't look down on back then had reached a height that she couldn't reach in the blink of an eye.
I couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in my heart.
I knew that he could have what he is today, and he was going to marry anyway.
Maybe if you get married, the Huo family will not fall to the point where it is today...... (End of chapter)
