Black clouds were covering the city, thunderstorms were thundering, and the capital of Lu State was completely silent. In the dark streets and alleys, there were scattered lights flickering.
In front of a luxurious and solemn mansion, Si Ziqi, the superior doctor, was dressed in armor, with a bronze sword at his waist. His hair was messy and shawl. Drops of rainwater were flowing down his cheeks. The black-scaled dragon under his crotch was trampling between the hooves of the horse.
A few splashes of water.
A man named [Black Water Warrior] formed a square formation, holding high spears like a forest. His body stood like a pine tree, like a black steel fortress, letting the rain splash on him.
The thunder roared continuously, and drops of rain splashed on their bodies. These [Black Water Warriors] stood upright among the streets without squinting their eyes. They had a solemn and iron-blooded atmosphere. They did not look like living lives, but looked like statues made of iron.
Copper irrigation.
Nowadays, the Lu State has been in war for many years, and although the loss of national strength is extremely serious, the fine steel has been forged hundreds of times, and the strong soldiers have also been honed in the constant battles.
This [Blackwater Warriors] is a top elite. After ten years of war, those with weaker wills died on the battlefield, and they have long been polished into an iron army.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Order!!" Si Ziqi held up a roll of black cloth, his face was cold and deep, and his demeanor was so serious that it made people shudder.
The thunder rumbled, mixed with Si Ziqi's stern shout: "The kings and princes have issued imperial edicts to punish their three clans by arrogantly plotting treachery and desecrating public affairs for personal gain.
!!!
"Execute the three clans!!"
"Execute the three clans!!"
Thousands of troops shouted in unison, and the blood and soul were as blazing as fire. In an instant, the thunderstorm around them evaporated into countless water vapors, and the terrifying heat boiled all the water vapors dry.
bump!!
The monarch ordered, and thousands of [Black Water Warriors] attacked the Yuyu Mansion. They were as powerful as a battering ram, smashing the doors of the Yuyu Mansion into pieces. Thousands of black soldiers and armors poured in, and the sound of footsteps was faint.
Like thunder, a sword is like a long forest.
"Bold, where did the soldiers come from? Don't you know who my master is?" The army rushed into the mansion, alarming the soldiers stationed in the mansion. Each of the soldiers prepared their armor and marched with open fire.
A person in charge walked out angrily, looking at the sharp-edged [Black Water Warriors], he shouted angrily, "You dare to rush into my house, do you people want to be punished by the Nine Clan?"
Zhu Yufei was the younger brother of Zhu Yuxing, and he had a very important position among the officials of Lu State. He was also a person who was unwilling to suffer losses and would retaliate for his evil deeds. Over time, even his servants developed a sense of arrogance.
gas.
It's a pity that now that the dynasty was overthrown, Xun Shaoyu personally issued an edict to Yi Qi's family and three clans, which no one expected.
Phew!
Seeing the arrogant attitude of the person in charge, Si Ziqi directly pushed away the black armor on the left and right without saying anything to him. The bronze sword at his waist was unsheathed, and a bloody light flashed past.
"Kill, leave no one alive,"
The heads flew down under the bloody light. Si Ziqi held the sword in his hand, his face was stained with blood, his eyes flashed with coldness, and he raised his sword and shouted.
"Kill, punish the three clans, leaving no one alive!"
Thousands of troops were in full swing, and their mighty force spread in all directions, like hungry greedy wolves with vicious faces on their faces.
In his mansion, all the family members who showed off their martial arts were crushed one by one by the force of the army. For a moment, shouts of killing rose from the sky, flames filled the sky, and screams and wails were heard all over the place.
Among the so-called three clans to be killed, there was also Zhu Yuxing, the second assistant of the Lu Kingdom, but Zhu Yuxing had different status and had the trust of Xun Shaoyu, so naturally he was not among the three clans.
It should be noted that at this moment, Zhu Yuhai is no longer a member of the Zhu Yu family, and there is no connection between the two.
Just three hours before Si Ziqi launched his army, Zhu Yuhui had been expelled from the Zhuyu family by Zhu Yuxing, and had no further relationship with the Zhuyu family.
And Zhu Yuhui, a rare and extravagant figure in the country, found himself in a situation where he was besieged on all sides in just a few days, which also made some insiders secretly awe-inspiring.
At the same time, dozens of armies went their own way, killing three tribes one by one according to the king's orders.
There were noisy shouts and killings from all sides of the capital, and the people in the capital of Guizhou closed their doors tightly, and even the high-ranking families were trembling with fear.
The residences of many old ministers of Nancai and Wen Hou were destroyed by the army even when they were ignorant.
Even the two most prominent families in Shangyang could not be spared from this liquidation. What's more, many nobles who were inferior to the two families in terms of circumstances and family status could barely survive this liquidation.
It's a great blessing.
This thunderstorm became more and more powerful, and the thunder once covered up the cries of killing. The rain washed the bloody ground, and the blood water gathered into streams of water, and from time to time blood splashes were splashed.
…………
Yeting, Ganquan Palace!
A sudden thunderstorm broke out, the strong wind blew up the window screens, the palace door slowly swayed in the wind and rain, and there were endless rustling sounds.
Next to a bronze table, Xun Shaoyu rolled up his sleeves with one hand and practiced calligraphy. On the table, a roll of cloth was quietly laid out. His brushstrokes were swift and sharp, and the words were sharp and vague, containing a majestic atmosphere.
, take in an overview of the majestic mountains and rivers.
"This is another good rain!" With the thunder in his ears, Xun Shaoyu smiled softly, put down the pen in his hand, walked slowly, and murmured to himself: "This heavy rain should be able to bring these things to life."
The dirty blood of the beetle thieves has been washed away. And at the beginning of the prosperity of our Lu Kingdom, my Xun Shaoyu's hegemony also cannot lack the heads of these people."
With murderous intentions rising and falling in the capital, and under the thunder and rain, this night in the capital of Lu State was destined to be anything but peaceful.
Xun Shaoyu personally issued an edict and mobilized 100,000 [Blackwater Warriors] to enter Quanpu and divide them into thirteen armies. The heads that were destined to be killed that night rolled in and stained the new capital of Quanpu with blood.
In the past, Xun Shaoyu, in order to reduce the resistance on the road to succeeding to the throne, adopted a bygone attitude towards the old ministers who followed Xun Shaoze and Xun Shaoyang, and even treated them with high positions, in order to calm down the division of Lu State.
disaster.
Nowadays, the current situation has changed and Xun Shaoyu is firmly on the throne. Although the role of these people is not that great. But regarding the matter of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, Xun Shaoyu is not willing to do it easily. It is not unwise to follow the facts.
However, there are inevitably people among them who do not understand the general situation, who still harbor nostalgia for their master and often harbor resentment in their hearts, to the point of harming the interests of Lu State. These people have to be killed.
If these people are not dealt with, who knows whether Xun Shaoyu will be stabbed in the back when he is fighting for hegemony with Zheng Song. If he fails to do so, it will make the world laugh.
Xun Shaoyu hummed: "These people must die. If we don't use these people's heads as a warning, I really don't know what stupid things some people will do."
The so-called killing of chickens to scare monkeys is better than this. Since the 'chickens' put their heads under Xun Shaoyu's butcher knife, Xun Shaoyu naturally would not begrudge the blood on the knife edge.
Of course, this was a helpless move. Xun Shaoyu knew very well that after three years of recuperation in the state of Lu, he had made many compromises to his ministers. Not only did these people not restrain themselves, but they became increasingly arrogant.
However, the old officials of Nan Cai became more and more rebellious, and even the old officials of Marquis Wen had some thoughts that they shouldn't have.
Of course, Xun Shaoyu became increasingly vigilant and fearful of this situation, but as the new heir to the throne, if he acted too forcefully, it would lead to disharmony between the monarch and his ministers.
Even though Xun Shaoyu had the powerful force to suppress a country, he had no choice but to face the fact that his ministers were disobedient and even resisted directly. A country with vassal states cannot only have a monarch without ministers to defend it. Blindly killing without restraint will only lead to
Slowly becoming a real loner, but it will not be the behavior of princes and kings.
Killing is the most important thing, killing is justified, killing is necessary to win the hearts of all ministers, this is the magnanimity of a king.
"There are so many useless people among the ministers in the court. I need a reason, an upright reason."
"This is used to purge those people in the court who have different ambitions and are not of the same mind as the others. And the Fenshui disaster relief work is a pretext, a pretext for putting them to death and raising the butcher knife in a grand manner." Xun Shaoyu looked at it.
As the heavy rain poured down outside the palace gate, a sense of confidence slowly brewed in my heart.
At this time, the great purge in the capital, which had been planned for more than three years, finally began slowly on this thunderstorm night.
"Report!!"
At this time, a young chamberlain quickly walked into Ganquan Palace. His whole body was soaked with rain. Regardless of the rain dripping down on his body, he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the great master is asking for an audience outside the palace gate!"
Grand Master Fu Xun Taichang was a martial arts fanatic and usually did not interfere with court affairs. Now, under Xun Shaoyu's big move, he could not control his temper and went directly to Ganquan Palace for an interview.
Xun Shaoyu looked at the young chamberlain who was soaked by the rain, his eyes flashed, and he said: "Please quickly,"
"promise!"
After the young chamberlain responded, he turned around and hurried out of the palace gate, his figure submerged in the wind and rain.
After a while, Xun Taichang stepped into the Ganquan Palace in formal attire. Although there was wind and rain outside, Xun Taichang's martial arts were extraordinary and holy. Every drop of blood was like lead or mercury. No matter how strong the wind and rain were, they could not get within three feet of him.
As soon as Xun Taichang entered the Ganquan Palace, he saw Xun Shaoyu with a calm demeanor. He leaned over and cupped his hands and said: "Old minister Xun Taichang, please see me as a prince. I will be a prince for ten thousand years!"
Xun Shaoyu looked at Mrs. Xun bowing to her, his face changed slightly and he quickly helped her up. He could not help but comfort him and said: "Old Master, please get up quickly. What you are doing... is embarrassing me!"
"Junhou,"
Xun Taichang's face was solemn, he held himself up and said sincerely: "Xun Shang, this unworthy son, is unworthy of being a descendant of our Xun family. His evil deeds deserved his death, and I have nothing to say about this."
"However, the monarch took advantage of this and implicated himself so much that the ministers were panicked. The disaster of losing the country was imminent. The old minister knelt down and asked the monarch to take back the military talisman and give these ministers a way out."
The weight of a martial arts saint is indeed not light. To be able to ask Xun Taichang to come forward to protect him is because those ministers have enough respect. Xun Shaoyu had to carefully consider the attitude of the great master Fu Xun Taichang at this moment.
It's just that although Xun Shaoyu valued his attitude, he would not give up eating because of choking. If it weren't for the fact that there were very few martial arts saints in Lu State, Xun Shaoyu, a great master who could realize the Tao of Heaven and Man at any time, would not take him seriously.
Xun Shaoyu's expression remained unchanged. He stood up and took two steps. After closing his eyes and meditating for a while, he asked slowly: "Old Master, you really have no selfish motives. Didn't you come here just for Xun Shangyi?"
After all, Xun Shangyi was a rising star in the Xun family and was also the bastard of Xun Taichang. Even if he wanted to kill him, he would kill him last, or wait until all the dust settled before killing him.
And in this, there is room for maneuver. If Xun Taichang puts down his old face and pleads for mercy, not to mention completely avoiding death, his chances of survival are also very high.
Faced with Xun Shaoyu's cross-examination, Xun Taichang said categorically: "The old minister has been selfless throughout his life, and only has a public heart. The princes and princes have killed too much, which is not a blessing to the country of Lu. They should be educated with benevolence and virtue, and the people of the country should surrender. If the princes treat the old ministers as
Private message, I can kill Xun Shangyi to prove my innocence."
"Hahaha... You should surrender yourself. My Lu country has gone through eight hundred years of ups and downs from a small country to now millions of strong and determined people. It has never relied on benevolence and virtue." Xun Shaoyu said.
Smiling, he said: "If it weren't for the strong military strength of Lu State, how could we have the situation where the Three Kingdoms are competing for hegemony in Yuzhou today."
Mrs. Xun often saw this, the bitterness on her face was palpable, she kowtowed and said in a sad voice: "I still hope you will think twice, don't lose the heart of the court because of small things and big things!"
Xun Shaoyu said calmly: "Old Master, how do you deal with the emperor and his ministers, and the emperor and father? You don't know that the emperor behaves as usual."
The late king Wenhou Xun Shangguan was much more treacherous than Xun Shaoyu. Whenever Wenhou's brothers competed for the throne, their fate was extremely miserable. It was difficult for any of them to escape the purge. His supporters were even more killed and injured, and they were all killed.
Xun Shangguan killed them one by one. Xun Shaoyu had precedents to follow, and no one could say anything.
Xun Taichang asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you have to... persist so stubbornly that you and your ministers will turn against each other and become discordant?"
"Old minister, I don't want to interfere with the monarch's actions, but I have to interfere in this matter. This is the will of my ancestors. It is difficult for me to disobey my ancestors' orders... Therefore, I am in a dilemma. I hope you will forgive me for my sin."
Faced with Xun Shaoyu's aggressiveness, Xun Taichang had to name a heavyweight to intimidate Xun Shaoyu.
The fighting prowess of Xun Taichang, a martial arts saint, is simply incomparable to that of a master like Xun Shaoyu, who is close to the level of heaven and man. If Xun Taichang had not had the self-control to rely on, he would not have entered the palace to meet Jun Yan.
Xun Shaoyu was shocked. He savored the taste carefully and whispered to himself: "Ancestor..."
This so-called ancestor was able to be called "ancestral" by Xun Taichang, and he was so respectful. This was the only person in Lu Guogong's family who had such a status.
"First Ancestor...Xunshou!!"
Xun Shaoyu's eyes were bright, thinking about the heavenly ancestor who had ruled the country for eight hundred years, and the profound meaning of Xun Taichang's words, which made Xun Shaoyu feel frightened.
