Chapter 654: The King
"That's right, if they're all soldiers, then shouldn't they all be dressed as ordinary people here!" Zhou Jiwei also saw that something was wrong at this time.
"That's right, their appearance is quite abnormal, these people can fight when they pick up arms, and now that so many people are appearing in the imperial capital, I guess they want to make trouble!" Jiang He said.
"Is there a rebellion?" Zhou Jiwei asked: "Could it be that the king is really going to be retributed, and someone is already planning to expose it?"
"I don't think so!" Jiang He said: "Although those guys of the Imperial Guard are nothing to us, but for these ordinary people, it can be said that they are pervasive, if they are going to rebel, it is impossible for the people of the Imperial Guard to not get the news, I can feel that there are at least thousands of soldiers dressed as ordinary people in the city, not a small number, can it be a monolith? Obviously impossible, so there is no movement yet, it can only be said that these people should not come to rebel!"
"Then what are they doing here?" Zhou Jiwei asked puzzledly, "Could it be that they are here to play?"
"Do you think that ordinary people are like us, they can go wherever they say? These people must have to rush here day and night in a carriage, so they can rush to the imperial capital at this time, but since this is the case, it also shows a problem!" Jiang He looked at those people and said, "What they have to do must be very urgent, I am worried that it will be delayed if they are late!"
"What could be so urgent?" asked Zhou Jiwei.
Jiang He glanced at Zhou Jiwei: "How do I know, but I should know if I listen to it!"
Zhou Jiwei pointed to himself: "Let me go again?"
"Of course, I still have something to do, let's go our separate ways, what you do is easy enough!" Jiang He said lightly, and then left immediately without waiting for Zhou Jiwei to say anything, because he also knew that what Zhou Jiwei wanted to say was probably nothing else but whining.
......
The royal palace is in the center of the entire imperial capital, it can be said to be magnificent, there are no less than a thousand rooms, the palace is luxurious, all kinds of jewels and gold on the walls show the luxury here, and all the resources of the whole country are the king's, so he naturally uses how he wants.
At this moment, a fragrant scene was being staged in the palace, and the great king was in the gentle country of women at this time, and his bloated figure could see that he had lived a good life on weekdays, and it seemed that he was already happy with this life, and the beauty and wine had made him deeply trapped in it.
"Ahem...... There were two coughing sounds outside, and the king heard this familiar voice, and then immediately said to several beauties around him: "You go down first, I have something, and when I finish talking about it, I will come and pamper you!"
The few beauties around him could only nod, and then immediately left the king's side. The king got dressed, and after a little grooming himself, he said, "Come in!"
So, the person outside the door immediately walked in, this person was none other than Qiao Dingjiang!
"Your Majesty is so interested!" Qiao Dingjiang looked at the king, without a trace of emotion in his tone.
"Generally speaking, if you like it, I'll reward you!" The king looked at Qiao Dingjiang and said, "It's just a few women, as long as you like it!"
"I can't imagine that Your Majesty loves Lao Chen so much, which really makes Lao Chen deeply gratified!" Qiao Dingjiang said.
"Of course, after my father died, it was you who helped me take care of everything, and this country has the current stable situation with you, and I can also have time to enjoy it, all thanks to you, so I will not hesitate to give the necessary rewards, after all, you have made a lot of contributions to our Sima family!" The king patted Qiao Dingjiang on the shoulder and said.
"As long as the old minister lives for one day, he will help my king to defend the land!" Qiao Dingjiang said.
The king standing in front of Qiao Dingjiang is Sima Ran, the head of the family who rules the country, but Sima Ran is indeed considered to be the most wasteful generation of kings, compared to Sima Ran's father, Sima Ran has no advantages at all, he will only hand over everything to Qiao Dingjiang, and then eat, drink and have fun by himself, basically everything is reported to him by Qiao Dingjiang, and then he just takes an idea, and the rest of the time is to have fun in his harem.
As for what his country has become, Sima Ran doesn't even care, of course, in order to show that he is sympathetic to the people, this king will occasionally make so-called private visits to micro-services, but in fact, it is just a change of place to eat, drink and have fun, and the places he passes through are singing and dancing everywhere, which is also a cover made by those officials under him in order to whitewash the peace.
It doesn't matter if a monarch is ignorant, just change another, but it was Qiao Dingjiang who allowed this incompetent monarch to continue to rule the country, so the person people hated the most was not Sima Ran, but Qiao Dingjiang, who was a tiger.
"Of course, I trust you very much! The person I trust the most in the whole country is you, and with you, I, the king, can sit back and relax!" Sima Ran smiled and said, "Is there something going on this time?
"Of course, and this time it's not a trivial matter!" Qiao Dingjiang said with a serious expression.
When Sima Ran saw Qiao Dingjiang's expression, he knew that what Qiao Dingjiang said must be very serious, so he asked, "What is the matter?"
"Li Fengchen's subordinates are assembled in the imperial capital, tomorrow noon is the time for Li Fengchen to ask for beheading, these people want to be willing and ask for a lighter punishment for Li Fengchen!" Qiao Dingjiang said.
"How many people?" said Sima Ran.
"According to the information obtained by my subordinates, there are as many as 1,000 of these people one after another, and they plan to gather and put pressure on the imperial court!" Qiao Dingjiang said.
"Hmph, a bunch of little minions, they still want to rebel and can't succeed!" Sima Ran snorted coldly and said, "Then what do you mean?"
"Kill!" Qiao Dingjiang said decisively: "Kill these people, if the court gives in to them, then there will be more and more such things in the future, and it will be difficult to control in the end, so we can't retreat a step!"
"Well, if you have the foresight, just do what you want, and in this way, the specific way to do it will be up to you!" Sima Ran said generously.
"Yes, the old minister knows!" Qiao Dingjiang said, and then bowed slightly, but at this moment, a smile hung on the corner of Qiao Dingjiang's mouth.
......
In the evening, Jiang He and Zhou Jiwei came to an inn, and now even if the members of the Imperial Guards knew that the two of them would come to the Imperial Capital, it was impossible to know where they were, the Imperial Capital was too big, and it was impossible to find Jiang He and Zhou Jiwei just by relying on the one hundred and ten people of the Imperial Guard.
"The courage of these soldiers is really not small!" Jiang He looked at Zhou Jiwei and said, "Are you sure they are going to make trouble tomorrow?"
"Of course, can't I even inquire about this matter?" Zhou Jiwei said: "There are about more than 1,000 of them, how many people can there be in the Dharma field at that time? They will ask to let Li Fengchen and his horse go, which means that if they don't succeed, they will become benevolent, and they may come hard!"
"These soldiers are strong-blooded, it's normal to say something mindless!" Jiang He said lightly: "It is estimated that it will not be hard, but there are tens of thousands of troops in the imperial capital, and if more than 1,000 people come to hard, they are looking for death, so they are just saying this kind of thing!"
"Is Li Fengchen going to be saved?" Zhou Jiwei said as he looked at Jiang He.
"Is it useful to save it? If he hadn't died on the spot, none of his family would have been able to escape, and now his family must have been controlled, Li Fengchen himself chose to take this path, so the corresponding consequences should have been borne by him!" Jiang He said lightly: "Don't forget the most important thing!"
"I have to ask you this!Is there any progress on the whereabouts of the Divine Monument?" Zhou Jiwei asked, "The Imperial Capital should be able to find out everything, right?"
"I probably know a little, first of all, I heard about it in the palace, as if the commander of the imperial guard knew where the monument was hidden.
"Really, arrest him now, shall you?" asked Zhou Jiwei.
"It's not time yet!" Jiang He said: "I feel that something big will happen tomorrow, let's not be in a hurry, if we want the people of this country to talk about the monument to us voluntarily, we can't come so hard!"
"It's really troublesome!" Zhou Jiwei pouted and said, "Forget it, you just have to control it, I'll go out for a walk now!"
"Don't go!" Jiang He reminded Zhou Jiwei and said: "The people you meet at night will be more conspicuous than during the day, you just stay here, anyway, it is impossible for the people of the Imperial Guards to come here!"
...... When Zhou Jiwei heard Jiang He's words, he nodded helplessly and gave up the idea of going out.
The night passed.
The next morning, the people arrived at the place of execution in twos and threes, waiting for the execution to begin.
Among them were those soldiers, and there were thousands of people gathered here, some of them came to see the excitement, some of them were people who had received Li Fengchen's favor, and some were relatives of the fallen soldiers...... In short, it was the most lively day that the execution site had caused, with hundreds of soldiers standing around to maintain order, and Li Fengchen and the prison officer had not yet come at this time, because the execution had only begun at noon.
There was a lot of talk about the fact that it was a general of a country who was executed this time! This is a rare thing, and the person killed by this general is still a member of the Imperial Guard, which they hate the most.
"Hundreds of people maintain order, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to deal with the conflict when the time comes!" Zhou Jiwei said at this time, he and Jiang He were also not far from the execution ground, and they could see everything there.
