I, make my own

Chapter 12 Beheading with Nine Punishments, Cheng Long
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

A courtier who had just retreated suddenly stood up, glared at Zhou Xin angrily and asked questions, as if he had been greatly insulted.

"Huh? Are you questioning me?"

Zhou Xin's eyes turned cold, and his body leaned forward slightly, which actually gave the courtier a sense of shock as if he was facing a mysterious beast.

The courtier secretly swallowed his saliva, although he was a little terrified, but he still insisted on it.

He Du Kai is a member of the Great General, he doesn't believe that the little emperor dares to do anything to him!
"Your Majesty has worked so hard for Da Zhou, but His Majesty has humiliated you for no reason. I am upset. Please give me an explanation!"

"Oh? Still want to ask me for an explanation?"

Zhou Xin seemed a little dumbfounded, but after the laughter, his expression suddenly turned cold, and at the same time he slapped the case hard.

"How courageous! Leng Yun!"

"exist!"

"Tell me, what is the crime for ignoring my majesty, or even threatening me openly?!"

"Return to Your Majesty, according to the crime, one of the nine punishments should be beheaded!"

Leng Yun responded quickly, glancing at Du Kai from the corner of his eye with a real killing intent.

"Very well, then I will take his life with the severe punishment of disemboweling him!"

"So, it just fits the name!"

Zhou Xin said in a cold voice, and then gave another deep drink.

"Where is the commander of the forbidden army?!"

In the ranks of generals, Yu She frowned, feeling rather reluctant.

Because he has already received the order, he needs to temporarily let go of the position of commander of the forbidden army, and will serve as the deputy commander of the forbidden army.

The reason for this seems to have a lot to do with the little emperor.

Therefore, he, who was already indifferent to the little emperor, felt even more hatred in his heart.

Now the little emperor seems to want him to do something, how could he be willing?

But after hesitating and struggling for a few breaths, Yu She finally stood up and responded.

"The minister is here."

"The rebellious minister Du Kai will be dragged out of the Meridian Gate and executed immediately!"

"slow!"

General Hu Zhizhuo couldn't sit still anymore, so he hurriedly called out to stop him.

"What? Could it be that the general thinks that the court laws need to be tampered with? Or, this person was ordered by the general to humiliate me?!"

Zhou Xin was not good at staring at Hu Zhizhuo, and didn't give Hu Zhizhuo any room at all.

Hu Zhizhuo was so choked that he could only say with a dark face: "Your Majesty, how dare I change the court laws at will? How can I instruct others to challenge Your Majesty's majesty? It's just..."

However, before Hu Zhizhuo finished speaking, Zhou Xin shouted angrily.

"Don't dare? If you don't dare, then get the hell out of here!"

As soon as the sound came out, the entire Ziwei Palace was suddenly silent, and everyone stared at Zhou Xin with wide eyes and disbelief.

Is the little emperor crazy? !

He is not afraid of...

As for the person involved, Hu Zhizhuo, he also froze for a while, but after the daze, the billowing anger rushed straight from his feet to his mind.

This little thing not only scolded him, but also told him to go back? !
In an instant, Hu Zhizhuo's round face was flushed with anger, and just when he was about to explode, a light cough suddenly sounded from the side of the dragon carving screen.

Hu Zhizhuo poked his neck up and looked up, seeing the man behind the screen shook his head slightly, although he wished he could be the butcher of the little emperor, but he could only force himself down, gritted his teeth, sat back on his knees with a dark face and resentment .

In the crowd, the smile on Du Kai's face froze instantly, his face turned pale, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Zhou Xin ignored Hu Zhizhuo and continued to stare at Yu She.

"Commander Yu, what are you waiting for?!"

If he could deal with members of the hostile faction at other times, Yu She would naturally be extremely happy.

But the little emperor wants to take his position, he doesn't want to be manipulated obediently.

Therefore, upon hearing Zhou Xin's urging, Yu She cupped his fists expressionlessly, and prevaricated casually.

"Your Majesty, that guy did not assassinate His Majesty in the palace. According to the attribution of this crime, it should be dealt with by Dali Temple, and I dare not presume."

"Heh, Commander Yu is really a good minister with clear responsibilities!"

As if he couldn't hear Zhou Xin's annoyed sarcasm, Yu She nodded seriously.

"It is the duty of a courtier to seek his own affairs while in his position, and not to seek his own government when he is not in his position."

Zhou Xin narrowed his eyes, and then smiled brightly.

"Okay, since Commander Yu is so disciplined, then I will settle the score with you."

"Yesterday, I was assassinated three times. The imperial army had enough time to come to support and protect me. Why did it take so long to see a figure?!"

Yu She's complexion changed, and he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, yesterday..."

However, Zhou Xin did not give him a chance to defend himself.

"If you can't protect my safety in time, what is the use of you, the commander of the imperial army?!"

"Originally, I wanted to give you another chance, but since you are so clear about your rights and responsibilities and loyal to your duties, then your dereliction of duty is unforgivable!"

"Designation: Here is Yu She, the commander of the Imperial Army, who puts me in danger and ignores it. This is dereliction of duty and breaking the law! According to the law, he will be deprived of the post of commander of the Imperial Army, demoted to white body, and will never be used again!"

The hall fell silent again, and all the courtiers were a little dumbfounded.

What exactly does this little emperor want to do?
First, he was a pawn of the general's line, and then one of the pillars of the prime minister's line. He actually pulled them all out. This is clearly to provoke two factions at the same time!
Is the little emperor crazy? !

Did he think the Guardians could really keep him safe?

Taking a step back, even if the guardian of the scriptures can guarantee that he will not be assassinated, if the two major factions really want to kill, what can a few guardians of the scriptures do in front of a huge army?
In the dead silence, Prime Minister Lin Zhengqing slowly got up.

All eyes in the hall moved in unison, all focused on Lin Zhengqing.

"Your Majesty, Commander Yu She is indeed suspected of dereliction of duty."

Lin Zhengqing looked calm, echoing Zhou Xin's anger with the first sentence he spoke, but in terms of guilt, he evaded the important and changed the concept.

Afterwards, Lin Zhengqing changed his tone again.

"However, after all, he shoulders the important task of guarding the imperial palace. If he is easily dismissed, it will inevitably bring turmoil and unpredictable hidden dangers, and give the thieves a chance to harm His Majesty and the imperial palace."

Listening to Lin Zhengqing's words, many ministers secretly admired him.

As worthy of being an old demon Lin, she obviously meant to threaten her, but to her ears, she was full of righteousness and awe-inspiring, in line with the overall situation...

"Therefore, the minister proposed that he be demoted to deputy commander as a punishment. As for the post of commander of the imperial army, His Majesty can personally choose someone to take up the position."

"I don't know Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Hearing the next few words, the courtiers immediately opened their mouths wide, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Even the great general Hu Zhizhuo had the same face twitching and his brows were almost squeezed together.

Old demon Lin is willing to give the position of the commander of the imperial army to the little emperor?How can this be? !
However, unlike the shocked officials, Zhou Xin sneered in his heart.

This deal had been agreed a long time ago, but Lin Zhengqing wanted to be the first to throw it out and take advantage of the situation to keep Yu She.

"Not at all. Lin Aiqing, one size counts for one size, and there are certain rules that cannot be broken."

Zhou Xinyu snorted earnestly, and then continued to speak: "I am the ruler of the Great Zhou, how can I take back my words? If Lin Aiqing wants to challenge Shengwei, then I..."

At this time, Lin Menghan who was sitting behind the bead curtain on the left side of the dragon carving screen suddenly spoke.

"Yu She dereliction of duty first, then he disobeyed the sacred orders of the Dangdian. His majesty's relegation to a white body is also his own fault. The prime minister should not intercede for him."

Lin Zhengqing frowned slightly, and after pondering for a while, sat back with a blank expression on his face.

The atmosphere in the hall became even more weird in an instant, and many ministers were stunned, obviously unable to turn the corner.

Weird, what I saw and heard today is really too weird!
Zhou Xin glanced sideways at Lin Menghan's position, then turned around and let out a deep drink.

"Xuan, Cheng Long goes to the palace!"

"only!"

A servant in the palace ran out of the side door with small steps, and the expressions of the officials in the palace changed again.

Cheng Long, the former commander of the Forbidden Army?

The little emperor actually moved him out, and things really became more and more confusing.

Lin Zhengqing knelt on the soft seat expressionless, but his mood was not calm at all, because he suddenly felt troublesome.

Cheng Long has a high prestige in the imperial army, the little emperor asked him to come back, their people may not be able to control the situation.

If he had known that there would be today, he would have killed Cheng Long at the beginning!

Not long after, a muscular middle-aged man with a dark complexion but a mouthful of big white teeth walked in quickly.

Although this person was wearing very ordinary uniforms, the sturdy aura on his body made people look sideways.

"Grassman Cheng Long, greet His Majesty!"

Cheng Long stood still in the hall, then knelt and kowtowed with a solemn expression.

"Cheng Long, I want to order you to be the commander of the imperial army, do you wish?"

Zhou Xin spoke softly, with a smile in his eyes.

【Name: Cheng Long
Cultivation level: mid-ninth rank

Age: 49
……

Qualification: Nine Stars (+) (-)

Talent: None]

"The grass people are willing!"

Cheng Long replied without hesitation, and then bowed respectfully as a courtier.

"Chen, Cheng Long, pay homage to Your Majesty! I will live up to His Majesty's trust!"

"good!"

Zhou Xin smiled with satisfaction.

Afterwards, Cheng Long was led by his servants to the side hall to change his official uniform, and when he came back, he took over Yu She's seal and seats.

Although Yu She lost his mind, he did not lose his mind again, because he still had hope in his heart.

He also firmly believed that sooner or later, the position of commander of the imperial army would still be his!

As for Du Kai, he was dragged out of the Meridian Gate to be executed by Cheng Long's order to ban the military school lieutenant.

During the whole process, since the leaders of the two major factions remained silent, no one dared to stand up and obstruct it.

Just when many people thought that today's misfortune would come to an end, the prime minister's family suddenly attacked the general's family in the name of Han Shang and others murdering the emperor.

However, the generals had already prepared for the secret letter, so instead of being confused, they also produced a lot of evidence to bite the opponent back.

After half an hour of "fighting" between the two sides, no one can get a bargain, and in the end they can only die without a problem.

By this time, many ministers were a little tired from the dizzying changes, and many of them were anxiously waiting for Zhou Xin to announce his resignation.

However, instead of letting them do what they wished, Zhou Xin threw out another thunderstorm.

"I saw a memorandum yesterday, which was submitted by the concubine of a certain vassal king."

"This talent and ability are not bad, but limited by his birth, he was only allocated a dilapidated small courtyard after being crowned, and his survival became a problem..."
