Many martial arts people in the courtyard were awakened by the screams, and then they realized that things seemed to be far beyond their expectations. Murong Fu didn't seem to be joking at all. He really wanted to take Xiangyang City by force, but everyone still didn't understand. Even if he took the Lu Mansion.
Even if all the people are controlled, it is impossible to capture Xiangyang City?
"Murong Fu, may I ask, what are you doing?" Suddenly, Guo Jing said in a deep voice.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the others all asked Murong Fu, "Mr. Murong, what are you doing?"
Before Murong Fu could speak, Murong Xue stood in front of him and said, "Shut up, you guys, you have no place to talk here."
As soon as these words came out, the reaction of the heroes was even greater, and there were already signs of attacking in groups.
Murong Xue's whole body was shocked, and an icy cold air suddenly rose into the sky, instantly covering the entire courtyard, and the temperature dropped to freezing point. Everyone was frightened and subconsciously moved away some distance.
Murong Fu then said, "Everyone, please be patient. I have already said that I am here today only to take over Xiangyang City. If anyone dares to interfere, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Among the crowd, Qiu Chuji, Zhou Zhiruo and other forces related to the Murong family all stayed where they were and said nothing, although they were also very curious in their hearts.
But Guo Jing couldn't sit still. He snorted coldly, "I dare to ask Mr. Murong, what virtue and ability do you have, threatening to take over Xiangyang City?"
Murong Fu really wanted to go over and slap him twice, but he glanced at Huang Rong behind him and had to suppress this thought, "You guys, please be patient for a while, we will see the result soon."
After Murong Fu finished speaking, he looked up at the sky and let out a melodious whistle.
Everyone was puzzled. At this moment, a crisp eagle call came from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a large white eagle flying over the Lu Mansion. It seemed to be holding something in its paws and circling in a circle.
Throw it down.
"Isn't that Fu'er's sculpture?" Guo Jing looked a little dazed.
Huang Rong was also quite surprised, but she quickly understood that it was her daughter who had given the eagle to this brat, but she had no idea when it happened.
Murong Fu ignored everyone's thoughts, stretched out his hand, and stretched out a ray of energy to roll up the thing dropped by Bai Diao. Only then did everyone see clearly that it turned out to be two rolls of yellow cloth.
Lu Wenhuan glanced at the bright golden color on the cloth, and immediately felt an ominous premonition in his heart, and blurted out, "Guo Jing, you self-proclaimed chivalrous people, in the midst of a national crisis, are you going to sit back and watch these thieves kill officials and rebel?
"
This was a helpless move for him. Now that the entire Lu Mansion was under control, even though he had thousands of troops under his command, it was of no use if the news could not be spread. He could only place his hope in Guo Jing and these so-called benevolent people.
Of course Guo Jing would not watch Murong Fu do whatever he wanted, but when he was about to speak, Huang Rong gently tugged on his sleeve and whispered, "Let's see what he wants to do first."
The yellow cloth slowly fell into Murong Fu's hands. He raised it gently and said, "The imperial edict has arrived. Lu Wenhuan, the governor of Yongzhou and the envoy of Yongzhou's Xuanfu, will receive the edict."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked but did not believe it. Xiangyang City had been isolated from the outside world for a long time. How could an imperial edict be transmitted in? Even if a divine sculpture was used to pass the message, the imperial edict must be read out in person by an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court. Murong
No matter how you look at it, Fu's casual behavior is a bit funny.
While everyone was thinking, Murong Fu unfolded one of the rolls of yellow cloth, and the words "Imperial Edict" were written on the back.
A trace of surprise flashed across Lu Wenhuan's face. Did this person really invite the imperial edict?
There were two imperial edicts in total. Murong Fu unfolded the first one. After a few glances, he saw that everyone was indifferent. He couldn't help but look slightly cold, "As subjects of the Song Dynasty, if you don't kneel before the imperial edict, do you want to rebel?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock and did not move for a long time. In the end, Guo Jing was the first to react and knelt on the ground, followed by other martial arts people.
However, Lu Wenhuan sneered and said mockingly, "Ignorance and recklessness. I am the envoy of Yongzhou, so it can be seen that the imperial decree does not kneel."
Murong Fu was stunned when he heard this, and Huang Rong's faint mosquito-like voice rang in his ears, "Fool, in the Song Dynasty, apart from the edicts announcing to the world, officials up to the prime minister, Xuanfu envoys and other second-rank officials did not have to kneel to receive imperial edicts.
.”
Murong Fu's face turned red after hearing this. How could he know so much? However, seeing Lu Wenhuan's condescending look, he felt extremely unhappy and glanced at Murong Xue.
Murong Xue understood immediately and flicked out a blast of energy from her fingers. Lu Wenhuan's knees unconsciously bent and he knelt directly on the ground. He let out a cry of pain and tried to stand up but couldn't.
At this time, Murong Fu began to read out the imperial edict, "I have been ordered by Haotian, and the edict states that Lu Wenhuan did not care for the people when he was appointed as the governor of Yongzhou, and neglected the military. As a result, the people in Yongzhou were in dire straits, and the military was weak, making him a Xiaoxiao.
Foreign barbarians can take advantage of this and take bribes to steal the people's anointing. They are actually the worms of the country. Now the evidence is conclusive, Lu Wenhuan is relieved of his duties as Yongzhou's Xuanfu envoy and Yongzhou's governor..."
There are more than a thousand words, but it can be summarized in only one sentence: remove Lu Wenhuan's military and political power, demote him to the magistrate of Xiangyang, and make meritorious deeds.
"Nonsense!" Lu Wenhuan roared after hearing this, "I have worked hard over the years to defend against foreign enemies. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. This... this is a false accusation!"
Murong Fu rolled his eyes, "Did Mr. Lu admit to corruption and bribery?"
"This..." Lu Wenhuan's face froze, and then he bit him to death, "This is a false accusation. In all the years I have been in office, I have never accepted even a cent of bribes."
Murong Fu sneered, "Whether you are framed or not, go to Lin'an Mansion and tell the truth yourself."
Then the second imperial edict was opened, "I remember the fate of Haotian, and the edict says that the Murong family of Gusu has been subsidizing the people for many years, and has opened warehouses more than ten times to release grain, relieve the victims, and replenish the national treasury. I commemorate his hard work and merits, and today I will give special instructions.
I decree that the head of the Murong family, Murong Fu, be crowned...the King of Yan, and that I will personally conquer the country on my behalf and sit in Xiangyang."
The imperial edict was very short, but its meaning surprised everyone, even Murong Fu. When he originally sent a message to Yanziwu, Li Mochou was asked to find a way to get an imperial edict to confer the title of Murong Fu on him.
Being the lord of Xiangyang City is fine, but what is going on with this "King of Yan"?
But at this moment, the heroes were shocked to the point of numbness. The Murong family could be awarded the title of King of Yan just by providing relief to the victims a few times. Isn't this a joke?
After Lu Wenhuan was surprised, he suddenly laughed wildly, "It's fake, it's absolutely fake. How can a commoner become the King of Yan? This is not custom-made at all. Why is he sitting in Xiangyang? It's nonsense!"
Murong Fu gathered his thoughts and threw the imperial edict of demotion in front of Lu Wenhuan.
Lu Wenhuan subconsciously picked it up and took a look. There were seven or eight names signed by Qin Hui, Tang Sihui and others at the signature. His face turned pale in an instant and he murmured, "Qin Xiang signed it himself. This is actually true.
How can this be……"
In the Song Dynasty, imperial edicts generally had nothing to do with the emperor's say. They had to be reviewed by seven or eight departments including the Central Committee and the Ministry of Menxia, and finally had to be personally signed by the top officials of each department before they could take effect. It was very difficult to imitate them.
Guo Jing knew some of the rules of the imperial edict of the Song Dynasty, so he came close to Lu Wenhuan and took a closer look. His face was not only shocked but also shocked.
"Mochou did this beautifully, I will love her well when I get back..." Murong Fu praised Li Mochou secretly in his heart. In fact, his initial idea was to fake an imperial edict and send it to her, because he knew that as long as
It was impossible to obtain this imperial edict by controlling the emperor. Unexpectedly, Li Mochou actually did it, and the efficiency was so fast. I think Lin'an also put in a lot of effort.
"This is impossible..." Lu Wenhuan had completely lost his mind and kept mumbling.
At this time, Guo Jing suddenly raised his voice and said, "Now that Xiangyang City troops are approaching, taking away Lord Lu's military power so hastily is tantamount to changing generals on the spot. This is a taboo for military strategists. Guo thought that this matter can wait until the war in Xiangyang is over.
It’s not too late for me to go to Beijing to apologize.”
The implication is that Lu Wenhuan refused to accept the order.
Sure enough, Lu Wenhuan understood immediately when he heard this, and stood up quickly, "Yes, I will not accept the emperor's order. For the safety of Xiangyang City, I will not hesitate to resist the order even once, and I will definitely apologize to the emperor afterwards."
All the martial arts people had different expressions and were watching the changes.
Murong Fu couldn't help but glance at Guo Jing in surprise. When did this elm-headed man become so smart? In fact, it was exactly as the two of them said. Even if Lu Wenhuan really committed a heinous crime, the emperor would never touch him at this time.
Moreover, he had an army of 100,000, and the imperial edict had no effect at all when it came to Xiangyang City.
Of course, this depends on who is passing the order. Murong Fu had already expected this, otherwise he would not have sent Lingxiao Pavilion disciples to secretly control the Xiangyang City generals. He immediately sneered slightly, "Really? Then I want to take a look.
, will your 100,000-strong army listen to you?"
Lu Wenhuan's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he only said that Murong Fu was so arrogant because he had blocked the Lu Mansion. Once the news was passed, the army would arrive in less than a quarter of an hour.
Thinking of this, he decisively said to Guo Jing, "Master Guo, please and all the knights, please hold back this group of rebellious officials and traitors. I will mobilize the army right away."
Guo Jing nodded slightly. Although he was extremely loyal to the Song Dynasty and would never do anything treacherous or disobedient to the emperor, the current situation was special. Once the generals were changed on the battlefield, it would definitely affect the morale of the army. In addition, Xiangyang City would be handed over to someone who knew nothing.
Having a playboy take control is also a big worry.
He immediately said to the heroes, "Everyone, it is not that Mr. Guo intends to disobey the emperor's order. You all know the situation in Xiangyang City now. Once the morale of the army is shaken and the hearts of the people are unstable, it will only happen overnight. I would like to ask you to lend a helping hand to Mr. Guo."
"Haha," Zhao Min, the Mongolian envoy who had long been forgotten by everyone, suddenly laughed loudly and said sarcastically, "Mr. Murong, is your imperial edict true or false? I think everyone doesn't seem to buy it?"
"What the hell, I knew I had to take action in the end." Murong Fu cursed, threw the imperial edict aside, and sneered, "Fellow martial arts comrades, don't blame me for not reminding you that openly disobeying the imperial edict is illegal.
The treasonous crime of deceiving the emperor is tantamount to rebellion, do you want to rebel?"
