Everyone heard the voice and looked over one after another, and saw Wu Rulong's face was like gold paper, his hands and sleeves were broken, and there were dots of bright red at the corners of his mouth, as if he was injured.
Wu Tianhu was startled and frowned: "Are you injured?"
"My internal organs have suffered a slight shock, and I have to adjust my breathing for three to five days. It's not a big problem."
Wu Rulong laughed, with some amazement and helplessness, and looked at Zhao Kang and said: "I'm sorry, Imperial Master, Xiao Feiyu is a tiger that is hard to control. He is extremely strong but slightly inferior to me. After all, it is difficult to capture him. Let him escape."
Zhao Kang said quickly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself. If it hadn't been for your Majesty's action this time, we probably wouldn't have been the opponent of this thief. I would also like to ask your Majesty to go to the side hall to rest. After Zhao Kang has dealt with these matters, I will thank you again."
"
Wu Rulong nodded, and Zhao Kang called the palace maid and eunuch to escort Wu Rulong and others to the side hall.
After thinking about it, he looked at Zhou Long: "Zhou Long, lead your troops and go to the capital. Call all the officials, big and small, who have not yet arrived. I will wait for them here."
"Follow the order of the Imperial Master." Zhou Long immediately took a part of the Imperial City's imperial army to call for help.
Sitting on the stone steps, Zhao Kang sighed in his heart. It was a pity that Wu Rulong failed to take down Xiao Feiyu. As long as this guy didn't die, he would be a disaster after all.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, Wu Rulong still has the status of Emperor Jingguo.
Facing the powerful Xiao Feiyu, Wu Rulong, of course, was very eager for this evenly matched battle.
But considering his status as king, any mistake would be a fatal blow to Jing Guo, so he would definitely have some scruples during the battle.
Only then could Xiao Feiyu escape from his hands.
"My lord, what should I do with this body?"
A soldier cleaning the battlefield cautiously came up to him and pointed at Lu Xueying's body.
Zhao Kang glanced at him and said calmly: "Put Prince Ning on the charge of rebellion and treason. Drag him down and bury him. No one is allowed to destroy his body."
"As you command!"
Although there is a mortal feud between the two, Zhao Kang is still willing to give him the respect that a third-level powerhouse deserves since he has killed the other.
In a short time, Zhou Long led a large number of officials to the imperial city.
There were three big bosses from the six ministerial departments: Wang Yuanqing of the official department, Zhang Mingyuan of the household department, and Weiguan of the criminal department. In addition, other officials such as Liu Jian'an, the commander-in-chief of the military and horse department, etc., were all present.
Some of them didn't even wear official uniforms at all, and they still looked confused at this moment. Why are the guards pulling us up from our sleep?
When everyone saw Zhao Kang sitting on the stone steps with his hands crossed and looking at them, their eyes widened and they were startled.
Zhang Mingyuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, even rubbed his eyes: "Didn't I see a ghost? Guo? Guoshi?!"
"It's me, Mr. Zhang, long time no see." Zhao Kang said calmly.
Wei Guan and Wang Yuanqing also had expressions of disbelief on their faces, and hurriedly ran forward: "Really, is it really the Imperial Master?"
"Master Wei, Master Wang, it's been a long time, but I, Zhao Kang, am still alive."
Everyone present was shocked. Looking at Zhao Kang who had "resurrected from the dead", his expression was wonderful.
Zhao Kang spoke again: "I have invited everyone here late tonight for no other reason than to tell everyone. King Ning Xiao Feiyu, together with Taifu Zhao Jinsheng, Minister of Industry Lin Yu, Yushi doctor Zeng An, and official minister Chang Kai,
Zhou Muyuan, Langguan of the Ministry of Finance... A total of twenty-seven officials, big and small, rebelled and intended to usurp the throne! They have been suppressed by our own army."
There was an uproar at the scene, and Wang Yuanqing was shocked and angry: "This is happening! How dare these rebellious officials and traitors be so bold! Imperial Master! Is Your Majesty okay?"
"God bless Qianguo, God bless Qianguo. Fortunately, there are national teachers, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!" Zhang Mingyuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, shouted happily.
Wei Guan looked very distressed: "What a good King Ning, what a good Zhao Jinsheng, I didn't expect them to dare to rebel. We don't know anything about such a big thing!"
Zhao Kang looked at the three of them coldly, seeming to sense that something was not right in the atmosphere. Zhang Mingyuan coughed, and Wei Guan, who originally wanted to say something, quickly shut up.
Zhao Kang didn't bother to teach the three of them a lesson at this time. He stood up and looked at the officials, big and small, and said solemnly: "The rebels are plotting rebellion. Now, except for Xiao Feiyu, the leader of the traitors, all the others have been executed."
"Zhao Jinsheng, Lin Yu and others have all their families confiscated and exiled to Tongzhou for three generations. They will not be able to return to the imperial capital for generations to come!"
"Until His Majesty issues a new decree, you all should perform your duties and must not slack off in government affairs. Liu Jian'an!"
"Your Majesty is here." The commander-in-chief of the Military and Horse Division responded quickly and looked at Zhao Kang cautiously.
Zhao Kang: "Post a notice to inform the world about King Ning's rebellion. Anyone who knows King Ning's whereabouts will be rewarded with a reward of 100,000. Anyone who dares to protect King Ning will be implicated in the nine tribes!"
"Yes, yes!" Liu Jian'an swallowed and quickly retreated.
I couldn't help but feel a little surprised in my heart. I don't know what the situation was like, but Zhao Kang felt like he was giving orders on behalf of His Majesty.
"Master Wang, Master Zhang and Master Wei, shall we three have a chat?"
After explaining the matter, Zhao Kang sneered and looked at the three ministers, except for the two three ministers, Zhao Jinsheng and Yang Qianyun.
The six ministers can be said to be the most powerful officials in the country, especially the official department, which is the head of the six departments and is responsible for personnel appointments.
Basically all officials are appointed by them.
After hearing Zhao Kang's words, Wang Yuanqing and the other three looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. Just as they were about to speak, Zhao Kang had already turned around and left.
The three of them had no choice but to follow.
It took nearly two hours between the rebels' rebellion and their suppression. It was roughly around two o'clock in the night.
The night was getting quieter and quieter, with little lights on the left and right sides. Wang Yuanqing and the others followed carefully behind them. They wanted to speak countless times but suppressed them.
Zhao Kang in front suddenly stopped and put his hands behind his back without looking back. Wang Yuanqing and the others also stopped quickly.
Zhao Kang spread his hands, touched the stone railing and said calmly: "It has been more than a year and a half since I left Yuanjiang County to serve as an official in the imperial capital. Now, I, Zhao Kang, am not only called the National Preceptor, but I am also honored to be granted the title of Imperial Master by Your Majesty. Being a king with a different surname can be said to be extremely honorable in the Qian Kingdom."
Zhang Mingyuan hurriedly flattered: "The national master defeated Zhang Zi, offered sweet potatoes, and defeated the Zhou and Qi armies to save our country from danger. It can be said that it saved the world! It is simply the patron saint of my great Qian. We should all imitate the national master!" "
"Yes, yes!" Weiguan said quickly.
Wang Yuanqing also hurriedly said: "This time we suppressed Prince Ning's rebellion. From the looks of it, I can bear the name of a different king!"
Zhao Kang also laughed: "That's right, I think so too."
Wang Yuanqing and the others heaved a sigh of relief, but then they heard Zhao Kang's voice rising: "But!"
