Seeing that after God King Tianyu asked Ji Tianxing, he had no intention of asking the two captains of the Forbidden Army again.
The status of the two captains of the Forbidden Army was too low. They were intimidated by the majesty of King Tianyu and did not dare to speak casually.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army was a little anxious and quickly winked at the two captains of the Forbidden Army.
The two captains immediately understood what he meant and gained the confidence to complain to King Tianyu.
"Lord God King, we were wronged. You can't listen to the Lord Qingfeng Territory's words!"
"Please be clear, Sir, we are of humble status, how can we dare to make things difficult for the Territory Lords?
It's true that they forced us to violate the regulations, and when coercion and inducement failed, they became angry and slandered us..."
The two captains of the Forbidden Army complained about the injustice. Seeing that there was something hidden in the matter, King Tianyu immediately became energetic and ordered in a majestic tone: "You two must think clearly about the truth of the matter, and then talk about it after you think about it.
The Lord of Qingfeng Territory is highly respected, and you are not someone you can comment on at will!"
On the surface, it seemed that he was scolding the two captains of the Forbidden Army and could not slander the Lord of Qingfeng Territory without hesitation.
But in fact, everyone can understand the subtext inside.
The two captains of the Forbidden Army were no longer afraid and quickly started to defend themselves.
"Lord God King, we are ordered by Lord Governor to guard Rising Sun Peak and strictly protect the palace and house so that the injured soldiers will not be disturbed.
However, these six domain lords insisted on breaking in, and we firmly disagreed, so they used both soft and hard tactics to intimidate and force us to accept the gifts..."
"Although we dare not offend several domain lords because they hold high positions of power, we cannot let down the trust and cultivation of the governor, and we must not violate the laws.
Therefore, we insisted on not allowing several Territory Lords to enter, which angered the Qingfeng Territory Lord, thinking that we had refuted his face and humiliated him..."
Hearing the sophistry of the two captains of the Forbidden Army, the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army breathed a sigh of relief and his eyes became much calmer.
God King Feng Yi also had no expression on his face, having guessed the answer and result in his heart.
Although, the other five domain owners were very unconvinced and quickly explained the truth of the matter.
But God King Tianyu no longer wanted to hear any more. He interrupted several domain masters with a wave of his hand and said in a majestic tone: "Okay, you all shut up!
I have figured out the whole story.
It was my instruction to send the imperial guards to guard those peaks.
You want to visit your friends. This is a moral act and is understandable.
But why don't you ask me for instructions?
They acted without permission, and used bribery, coercion and inducements to force the Imperial Guard to release them in violation of regulations!
You know and break the law, but have you ever taken me seriously?
Have you ever taken to heart the laws enacted by the God-Emperor?”
God King Tianyu reprimanded Ji Tianxing and the five Territory Lords, then turned to scold the two Forbidden Army captains, saying: "Although you acted under orders and did prevent several Territory Lords from intruding, your will is not strong enough.
You will still be coerced by the other party's identity. This is a violation of the Forbidden Army's regulations!
It is an irrefutable fact that you accepted each other’s gifts!
I will temporarily deprive you of your positions and demote you to ordinary guards. You will continue to start as soldiers and study the laws and regulations well.
Do you have any objections?"
The two captains of the Forbidden Army were stunned at that time, feeling panic and anxiety inside.
It took them a hundred years to climb from ordinary soldiers to the position of captain.
Unexpectedly, just because of this trivial matter, the captain's position was taken away.
Of course, the two of them resisted this result and wanted the Forbidden Army Commander to intercede for them.
But when the two of them saw the expression and eyes of the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard, they knew that the Commander-in-Chief was satisfied with the result and would not intercede on their behalf.
Therefore, the two captains of the Forbidden Army could only bow down and accept their orders, thanking God King Tianyu for not killing him.
After the two captains of the Forbidden Army retreated, God King Tianyu looked at Ji Tianxing and the five Territory Lords again, and shouted with a majestic look: "You six are Territory Lords, but you ignore the laws set by me and the God Emperor. It really makes me unhappy."
Disappointed.
This time, I will not use torture on you, but will punish you to hand over your military power, stay at the station to recuperate, and think about your mistakes behind closed doors!"
Regarding this penalty result, God King Feng Yi and the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army expressed their satisfaction and support, and quickly spoke in agreement.
However, the expressions of Ji Tianxing and the five domain masters became very embarrassed, and deep anger emerged in their eyes.
It is true that God King Tianyu has learned wisely and no longer tortures many domain lords and soldiers like last time.
Because he also knew that using torture on the domain lord and the soldiers would not only fail to make everyone repent, but would instead make the soldiers hate him and harbor resentment.
Furthermore, the soldiers who have been punished cannot participate in the battle, which undoubtedly weakens one's own combat effectiveness.
It's okay now. God King Tianyu has taken away the military power of the six domain lords and taken over the 4,000 soldiers under their command, which will not weaken his own combat effectiveness.
At the same time, the six Territory Lords were punished to sit back and reflect on their mistakes. At the appropriate time, they could be allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds.
The most important thing is that Tianyu God King believes that most of the soldiers will not have any resentment.
However.
King Tianyu thought that his methods were brilliant and his punishments were very reasonable.
The six Territory Lords will definitely swallow their anger and hand over their military power obediently.
But it is a pity that the Lord of Qingfeng Territory showed his always tough and upright character, and immediately retorted: "Lord God King, I do not accept the result of your sentence!
This matter was originally caused by the imperial guards being arrogant and domineering, making things difficult for me and several domain lords.
We respect you and come to you to confront and judge you in court.
Unexpectedly, in the end you will still have to protect the Imperial Guards and punish us severely.
Haha...I have been loyal to His Majesty the Divine Emperor my entire life, and I respect both His Majesty the Divine Emperor and you.
Unexpectedly, it would end up like this now.
I have never thought that in your mind, the status of me and the other domain lords is so insignificant!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Not only God King Feng Yi and the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army were shocked, but even the five Territory Lords looked at him in disbelief.
No one expected that the Lord of Qingfeng Territory would be so stubborn and reckless that he dared to say these words in front of King Tianyu.
This kind of treachery and immorality contains contradictory words. Just think about it in your heart, but how can you declare it with your mouth?
King Tianyu was also stunned for a moment, and after he came to his senses, he became very angry and shouted sternly: "Lord Qingfeng Territory, you are so brave!
What? Are you relying on your old age and trying to betray me and His Majesty the God Emperor?"
Ji Tianxing shook his head with disappointment on his face and sneered: "Justice is in the heart of the people. Since you are unfair and selfish, don't blame the soldiers under your command for being resentful.
You are the leader and I am your subordinate. Whatever charges you want to assign to me, you can arrange them as you please.
As for military power, if you want to take it away, you only need to give an order, so why bother directing and acting it yourself and staging such a clumsy show?
That’s all, I’m disheartened, please allow me to go back and think about my mistakes behind closed doors.”
