Emperors of the Heavens: Summon the Governor of the East Factory at the beginning

Chapter 65: Beheading in public, cutting the grass to remove the roots
The next day.

However, it has just entered Chenshi, and many people in the capital are just getting ready to go about their day's work.

They were all attracted by the sound of footsteps as heavy as raindrops.

Everyone followed the sound and saw rows of forbidden troops heading in the direction of the city wall. Everyone looked solemn, as if something big had happened.

Everyone quickly backed away from the road to give way, but some people looked curiously towards the direction of the Forbidden Army, not knowing what was going on.

Within half an hour, many forbidden troops stopped in the direction of the Meridian Gate.

This made the civilians even more curious.

The Meridian Gate of the capital was the place where the imperial court dealt with some lawless ministers and even traitors and rebels in the past. It was full of evil spirits. Why did these forbidden troops suddenly come here?
Just when everyone was looking confused, a captain of the imperial army climbed directly onto the high platform where prisoners were handled in the Meridian Gate. Looking at the people of the capital who had gathered in front of him, he looked around and raised his eyebrows. shouted:
"At midnight last night, the former Queen Mother colluded with the master of Lingxian Pavilion Hua Dongpeng to attack the palace at night with the intention of murdering the new emperor and the new Queen Mother. Fortunately, King Shenwei stopped it in time and killed the beast!"

"The former Queen Mother disregarded the laws of the country, and her illegal intentions were clearly exposed. She issued a divine order and ordered the Queen Mother to commit suicide. She was allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum after her death in memory of the Queen Mother!"

"In addition, the master of Lingxian Pavilion caused a rebellion, and King Shenwei ordered his body to be beheaded at the Meridian Gate, and his head was hung above the Meridian Gate as a warning to all the princes!"

"Come on, bring it up!"

The captain's eyes were full of chills, and he loudly explained the reason why the imperial army came to the Meridian Gate today, and then gave the order directly.

Soon a row of imperial guards stepped aside, and two imperial guards led a man who was already wearing a black hood, like a puppet on a string, onto the high platform.

The captain signaled, and soon the two Imperial Guards took off the hoods they had brought.

A thin and pale face caught the eyes of the people under the Meridian Gate, but at this moment, the face was obviously stiff and cold, without any warmth.

Apparently what was dead couldn't die anymore.

But even so, as the master of Huadong Pennglingxian Pavilion, he still caused a great commotion at the Meridian Gate.

"Oh my god. He is really the master of Lingxian Pavilion."

"Isn't Lingxian Pavilion in Wuling Prefecture? Why did it suddenly appear in the capital?"

"Could it be true, as that gentleman said, that he came specifically to murder the new emperor and the new queen mother?"

"This Hua Dongpeng is also the master of the Lingxian Pavilion after all, but he actually ignored his position as the master of a sect and carried out such an assassin's act!"

"Yeah, it's really unexpected!"

"Could it be for"

"Shh... you don't want to die?"

"I heard that the Master of the Lingxian Pavilion had reached the late stage of the Return to True Realm several years ago, but even so, he was still killed by King Shenwei. How old is this King Shenwei?"

"hiss……"

When the last sound sounded, it was like a word that woke up the dreamer, causing many onlookers to react.

Then they all took a deep breath and looked at each other with horror in their eyes.

If I remember correctly, King Kamui still has a few months left before he turns 30.

To be able to kill the master of the Lingxian Pavilion in the Realm of Return to True Realm, doesn't this mean that the strength of the King of Divine Might is at least above the Realm of Return to True Realm?
Just horrible!
The thoughts in the people's minds at the moment did not stop the Forbidden Army's actions.

The people gathered at the Meridian Gate were in an uproar because of the message in the words of the captain of the Imperial Army.

The two forbidden soldiers who had brought Hua Dongpeng up earlier had now fixed his body on the execution ground.

Following the order of the school lieutenant, the forbidden army swung down with a saber in hand.

A trace of dark red blood seeped out, and a head rolled directly onto the execution field.

Following the captain's order again, Hua Dongpeng's head was directly hung on the wall of the Meridian Gate in full view of the crowd.

Some people can see it at a glance just by raising their heads slightly.

Kill one as an example to others!
Looking at the head hanging on the city wall, at this moment among the people watching at the Meridian Gate, many of them looked like minor officials and servants in the government and turned and left.

Then he ran away from the Meridian Gate and headed towards the direction of his own mansion.

Judging from the distracted look, it was obvious that he was going to tell his master the news.

It was also when the matter of Hua Dongpeng being beheaded in public outside the Meridian Gate was rapidly fermenting.

In the Shenwei Palace, the former Zhenbei Palace, Chu Yuan was standing on an arch bridge in the front hall courtyard, looking at the fish and shrimp swimming happily in the pond below because of feeding.

"rustle……"

Footsteps came outside the courtyard, getting closer and closer, and soon they were in front of Chu Yuan.

"My lord."

Xu Chu, now the commander of the Royal Forest Army, knelt on one knee and bowed to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan turned around and looked at Xu Chu.

"Hua Dongpeng's body has been beheaded in full view of the public and hung on the wall of the Meridian Gate."

Chu Yuan nodded.

"Where are the princes?"

"We have arranged for all accidents to be resolved."

"Well, let's give him a grand burial according to the prince's standards!"

Chu Yuan nodded, looked towards the direction where the residences of Prince Qi, Prince Liang and other princes were located and said indifferently.

The struggle for imperial power is so cruel.

Although they were just a few powerless princes under house arrest, Chu Yuan had never even met them.

But Chu Yuan understood very well the principle of cutting the weeds without removing the roots, and the spring breeze will spring up again.

We can't blame him for being cruel, we can only blame the fathers, mothers and queens of these princes. They all don't know what to do and insist on standing on his opposite side and becoming his enemies.

When it comes to dealing with enemies, there is no such thing as old people, young people, women and children.

"Yes, my lord."

Xu Chu spoke respectfully, then bowed and retreated after Chu Yuan waved his sleeves.

When Xu Chu's figure disappeared directly into the courtyard, Chu Yuan tilted his head slightly, as if speaking to the air.

"Inform Meng Tian to come."

As soon as Chu Yuan finished speaking, a crisp female voice responded from the air.

Then a woman in red clothes appeared from the darkness, and then she moved towards the attic.

The time for half a cup of tea flies by.

In the huge courtyard, except for the numerous sunflower secret guards guarding it in the distance, Chu Yuan was the only one standing in the center.

At this time, the sound of a figure breaking through the air sounded.

Soon, a familiar figure appeared in the open space not far in front of Chu Yuan. It was the leader of the Golden Fire Cavalry who had previously destroyed an army of 20 people outside the city.

"General Meng Tian finally meets the prince!"

Seeing Chu Yuan, Meng Tian hurriedly saluted, not daring to neglect him in the slightest.

"Meng Tian, ​​if we travel lightly and quickly, how long will it take for one hundred thousand fire cavalry to travel from the capital to Wuling Prefecture?"

"It will take about ten days to return to the prince!"

Although he didn't know why Chu Yuan asked this question, Meng Tian replied immediately.

"You take the Fire Cavalry to Wuling Prefecture and bring Wuling Prefecture under the rule of the Imperial Dynasty!"

"As for the Lingxian Pavilion, leave it to Wang Chongyang and the princes from the Taishang Pavilion of the Wang Mansion to resolve it!"

Chu Yuan said.

The leader of Lingxian Pavilion, Hua Dongpeng, has now been executed in the palace. His daughter, the Empress Dowager Hua, plus Jiang Shenwu and all the ancestors of the royal family in the forbidden area of ​​the palace are all dead. It can be said that today's royal family except for the salary hall , can no longer stir up any trouble.

However, the Lingxian Pavilion in Wuling Prefecture is different. After so many years of development, they have always been a hidden danger for Chu Yuan, who is in charge of the power of the Dacang Dynasty.

Now that Lingxian Pavilion has lost its master, one of the two major realms of returning to truth has gone. It is time to solve this problem.

Chu Yuan's unification of Dongling Territory will also be much smoother in the future!
"The last general takes orders!"

After Chu Yuan's order was issued, Meng Tian respectfully accepted it without any hesitation.

Then with Chu Yuan's consent, he turned around and retreated.
