Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 430 Killing the King (3000)

After Xiao Zhengde boarded the boat to join his family, he was worried about the pursuers crossing the river, so he ordered his cronies to burn all the other boats at the ferry.

In the raging fire, he took a boat to the north, dreaming the dream of the emperor.

When the boats reached the center of the river, dozens of warships came from the east and forced Xiao Zhengde's boats to stop. It turned out that a big fire prevented the possibility of the pursuers crossing the river, but the light of the fire also attracted Xiao Yuanming's subordinates. The patrolling navy.

"Your Majesty takes a boat late at night, where do you want to go?"

The boat approached, and with the light of the fire, Xiao Yuanming saw the people on board clearly, and asked loudly.

He personally led the team tonight, and was covering the Qi people in the smuggling business, ignorant of the hustle and bustle in Jiankang City.

Seeing that it was his cousin Xiao Yuanming, Xiao Zhengde finally let go of his tense heart.

Others don't know, but he knows very well that his cousin has a lot to do with the north. Gao Cheng's property to support him in recruiting outlaws and weapons to arm them all came from Xiao Yuanming's defense zone.

Xiao Zhengde laughed and said:
"Only following the orders of His Majesty to go to the north as an envoy, the Marquis of Zhenyang is in a good mood, and personally led a team to patrol the river at such a late hour."

In the same way, is Xiao Zhengde forcing his own sister to count?

All the ministers agreed that anyone who dared to speak up for Xiao Zhengde at this moment would be labeled as a traitor in the next second, and with Xiao Zhengde's usual actions, no one was willing to speak up for him.

He glanced at the girl hiding behind his cousin, Princess Changle, and sighed quietly, but he also understood their relationship.

Gao Yue didn't dare to test his weakness, so he quickly prepared a carriage for the two and sent escorts to Luoyang.

As he said that, he took out the dagger from his waist, and under Xiao Zhengde's terrified eyes, stabbed it into his abdominal cavity. This sudden change made Xiao Zhengde's wives, concubines and daughters scream in shock.

To defend the country against the enemy is to be grateful to his uncle Xiao Yan. Of course, when he is defeated and unable to recover from the battle, Xiao Yuanming will also plan for himself.

However, his moral standard is higher than that of Xiao Zhengde. He did not attack his cousin, Princess Changle, mother and daughter. Instead, he had other plans, thinking of sending them to Luoyang to present to the Northern Qi Emperor as a token of gratitude. After all, Gao Cheng provided this The smuggling of money made him and his soldiers earn a lot of money.

Perhaps in Xiao Yan's view, Xiao Hong had an affair with his niece and secretly planned to assassinate the king, so he could have any bad intentions.

"Do you really think that no one knows about the matter between the Marquis of Zhenyang and the people of Qi? Why don't you let me into Qi? Convenient, so, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds.”

Xiao Zhengde urged him, thinking in his heart that if he could still go south in this life, he would return with Master Qi as the Emperor of Liang, and we will see what you, Xiao Yuanming, want to explain when the time comes.

Xiao Yuanming smiled at the soldiers under his command:

But now when this scandal was known to outsiders, Princess Changle realized that she could not deal with it calmly. Xiao Yuanming's surprised and contemptuous gaze made her wish to jump off the rolling river, but if she really had the courage to seek death, she would Can't live now.

The throne has not yet been secured, Xiao Gang was worried that some brothers would lead the army to fight for the throne in Jiankang under the pretext of going to the funeral, so he issued this edict.

Xiao Yuanming felt that Xiao Zhengde was insulting his IQ.

Xiao Zhengde, his wife, and the heads of his confidantes were personally sent to Jiankangtai City by Xiao Yuanming. Xiao Gang held the ferocious head, and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, showing a smug smile, but then remembered that all the officials were in the palace, and hurried Concentrated, changed to a sad expression, and said angrily:
"King Linhe received the great favor of the former emperor, but he didn't know how to appreciate it. He rebelled and was rampant, and he was destroyed by himself. This disaster should happen. How can such unfaithful and unrighteous people deserve to be included in the genealogy? They should revoke their family status and change their name to Roe Owl. páo xiāo), to show its greed."

Princess Changle subconsciously avoided Xiao Yuanming's astonished gaze. As a married woman, she was forced into prostitution by her own brother these years, and her life was worse than death, but she could only accept her fate.

Everyone knows that Xiao Zhengde has a son and a daughter, and his son Xiao Jianli was shot down by Yang Kan and turned into flesh. Xiao Gang asked his daughter again, as if he wanted to take revenge again.

That is, Xiao Lun, the king of Shaoling County who sits in the south of Jing, Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong County who came out of Mujiang Prefecture, and Xiao Ji, the king of Wuling County who guards the south of Lingnan.

That's right, he played wildly, with sisters like Li Zu'e and Li Zuyi, Yuan Jingyi and Yuan Yuyi;

Xiao Zhengde was in a hurry, he really let Xiao Yuanming get in touch with Nan'an, knowing what happened tonight, how could he escape.

When he returned to Jiankang, his uncle not only didn't blame him, but also rewarded him with cloth for emergency, and continued to entrust him with important tasks.

Along with the news of the turmoil in Jiankang, the mother and daughter of Princess Changle were also sent to Yangzhou by the smuggling fleet.

When people learned of the kindness map, offering to Princess Changle, they consciously figured out Gao Cheng's preferences, and repaid him for pointing out a way for him to make money.

"This is Gu's concubine, whose surname is Liu. Its appearance is just like that of Changle. When Gu first saw it, he was also surprised by it, so he was taken into the care of the mansion."

"What the king said is right."

Forcing their own sister is nothing, their father Xiao Hong had an affair with Xiao Yan's eldest daughter, and plotted to assassinate Xiao Yan to replace her, Xiao Yan caught the assassin, found out the truth, and forgave his good sixth brother.

Xiao Yuanming saw the familiar face of Liu Shi, one of Xiao Zhengde's wives and concubines. Although he had matured a lot and didn't look like a girl back then, he could still recognize it at a glance. Princess Changle?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuanming shook his head and said:
"There's no hurry at this moment. It won't be too late to send the king north after I send someone to the shore to ask about the situation at Wuma Ferry."

Gao Cheng didn't know that Xiao Yuanming judged others by himself and thought him so despicable.

"This"

Without a central government whose strength surpasses that of the vassals, it is not easy to cut the vassals.

After all, Xiao Yuanming could not allow Xiao Zhengde to refuse, and ordered the boats to continue approaching, and set up wooden boards between the two boats to allow Xiao Zhengde to pass.

Xiao Yuanming nodded when he heard the words:

Back then, Xiao Yuanming's four concubines, Zhang, Yu, Wang, and Ruan, were all captured by Gao Cheng and hid in Luoyang Yaoguang Temple. Now Xiao Zhengde's beautiful concubines have naturally become Xiao Yuanming's spoils of war.

Thanks to Xiao Yansheng's previous arrangements, the only area that Xiao Gang can actually control is Jiangdong. Today's Nanliang can be said to be divided into four parts of the world.

In the early hours of the morning, spies spread the news of Jiankang to Jiangbei. The existence of Xiao Yuanming's smuggling route, for Northern Qi, the biggest benefit was not the profit from smuggling. Now the sudden profit is gone, but the convenience Spies deliver information.

Xiao Zhengde complained endlessly in his heart, and secretly scolded Xiao Yuanming for meddling in his own business, but his ship was surrounded by the patrolling navy and could not pass through, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead his family and cronies to board Xiao Yuanming's ship.

"It's all about being loyal to your duty. So your majesty is awake? But why is your majesty in such a hurry, wearing stars and wearing moons and going on the road, what's the matter with the fire at Wuma Ferry?"

Xiao Zhengde's cronies wanted to protect them, but they were hacked and killed by Xiao Yuanming's subordinates.

Although Xiao Zhengde's character is inferior, his aesthetic vision is still online.

"In that case, your majesty might as well get on my ship and be escorted across the river by my son-in-law."

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, under the support of his officials, Xiao Gang, the crown prince of Nanliang, became the emperor and pardoned the world. At the same time, he issued an edict that the vassal princes were not allowed to go to Beijing for funerals, and that he could only serve filial piety in the territory.

Xiao Yuanming first killed Xiao Zhengde's elderly wife, and in the concubine, the old and lustful people were also brutally killed.

"Cut off their heads."

Xiao Yuanming stabbed five times in a row, blood splashed all over his body, and then whispered in Xiao Zhengde's ear:
"Brother may have forgotten, the dead can't speak."

"The ship docked south, and it's time to ask Jiankang for a reward."

Back then when Bagong Mountain was defeated, Northern Qi confiscated all of Xiao Yuanming's family property in Shouzhou, and demanded [-] pieces of cloth as his ransom. It was his uncle Xiao Yan who subsidized part of the ransom so that Xiao Yuanming's family could raise the ransom.

"Marquis of Zhenyang, now is not the time to talk, it is better to cross the river quickly, and I will give you an explanation when I return alone."

As for the option of treason, it was never in Xiao Yuanming's consideration.

My elder brother was once the emperor's adopted son. After Xiao Shengsheng had a parent-child relationship, although this relationship was severed, everyone knew Xiao Yan's temperament. He felt ashamed of Xiao Zhengde, and he was simply indulgent in every possible way.

After finishing speaking, he walked towards them under the terrified eyes of Xiao Zhengde's wives and concubines.

Xiao Zhengde explained this, but how could such rhetoric be so deceptive.

"Your Majesty has been blessed by God, and has recovered. I was ordered to go on a mission. I planned to leave tomorrow, but the ferry accidentally caught fire. I was worried that the ship would be destroyed, so I set off overnight. The Marquis of Zhenyang also knew that I was stationed in Suzaku during this period of time. It’s very close to the ferry.”

When Gao Yue, the new governor of Yangzhou, heard the news, Xiao Gang was holding the enthronement ceremony. He didn't dare to delay, so he sent people to Luoyang to report the news.

"It's a good idea for the king to treason and run away, but my cousin, I still want to show my loyalty to the prince with my brother's head. Besides, among the clan, it is enough for me to befriend the Lord Qi, and there is no need for the king to travel north."

Xiao Zhengde forcibly explained:

Xiao Yuanming put the mother and daughter into the water to perfunctory the past, Xiao Gang did not go into details, the most urgent thing is the enthronement ceremony after dawn, now that Xiao Zhengde is dead, the ones that give Xiao Gang a headache are the younger brothers of the separatist side.

As for the fierce battle between Jie Jiang and Xiao Zhengde and his cronies, Xiao Yuanming, who finally killed the national traitor, was naturally praised by Xiao Gang, and the reward was extremely generous, and all of Xiao Zhengde's family property was bestowed on Xiao Yuanming.

The remaining people are either in their prime, or they still have charm.

Xiao Zhengde's eyes gradually lost their brilliance, and his absurd life came to an end. He died on the same night as his adoptive father Xiao Yan.

He walked to Xiao Yuanming's side, and he didn't care about being lonely, and threatened in a low voice:

Of course, it is also to leave a way for myself in the future. If the country perishes one day, I can live a good life.

That's right, Xiao Yuanming lost badly at Bagong Mountain, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.

But he really had never done that kind of thing, Xiao Gao Wang felt that he still had a little moral bottom line.

In the carriage, the anxious mother and daughter of Princess Changle didn't know that they had truly lived a peaceful life when they arrived in Luoyang.

If they stayed in Jiankang, with the looks of their mother and daughter as sinful relatives, who would know what would happen. After all, even if Princess Changle gave birth to a son and a daughter, she would only be in her 30s now.
