This emperor is too strong!

Chapter 132 The building collapsed

March [-], Daxia Palace.

Palace of Preserving Harmony.

Looking at the three people who walked slowly into the hall step by step, the servants in the hall looked strange, and several maids showed unbearable expressions.

These three people only wore thin white coats on their upper bodies, and each carried seven purple cicadas with the title of "King of Thorns" on their backs.

The branches of Cicada japonica are covered with barbs, and the barbs are sharp and hard, comparable to magic weapons.

Without using Yuanli body protection, with every step, the Cicada vitae on the back of the three of them would shake and scrape slightly, piercing the backs of the three of them continuously, piercing small bloody holes, sometimes It will also bring out fine minced meat.

From entering the palace to walking here, the back half of the three people's bodies have already been soaked in blood, and the whole back is even more bloody, and they can't tell the rags from the pieces of meat.

Although the strength of these three people is very strong, but under the premise of not using Yuanli to protect the body, the strong hematopoietic ability of the body itself can only guarantee that they will not faint in a short time, but cannot let them get rid of the continuous pain.

However, although the three of them were pale and their pupils were a little dizzy, they gritted their teeth and did not say a word, nor did they groan or groan in pain.

In this way, the three of them came to the center of the hall step by step, and then knelt down without saying a word.

The servants and maids in the hall secretly glanced at each other, and then looked at the bloody footprints behind the three of them towards the hall door and beyond, all with complicated expressions.

Great General Xiao Hongyuan, Chariot General Xiao Zhijie, and Yunhui Zhonglang General Xiao Tianzong, these three are the top generals in Daxia, and they are powerful existences who once stomped their feet to make Daxia tremble three times.

However, who would have thought that one day, they would also fall into such a miserable situation?
It seems that the unparalleled glory of "three generals in one family" will eventually pass away...

I just don't know, can they walk out alive today?
The people in the hall had different thoughts, no one spoke, and there was not much panting, making the whole hall dead silent and depressing.

After an unknown amount of time, a loud shout finally sounded from the outside.

"Your Majesty is here~"

The servants and maids in the palace looked solemn, quickly lowered their heads, and stood upright.

And the three blood men kneeling in the center of the hall also straightened their backs subconsciously, and their dizzy pupils also condensed a little under the new round of stinging pain.

Not long after, Xia Ao strode in.

Seeing the bloody backs of Xiao Hongyuan and the other three, Xia Ao seemed to be taken aback for a moment, followed by an angry look on his face.

"Zhao Gao! What's going on here? Who tortured them? Who has the guts to treat my grandfather like this, and my Daxia hero?!"

Seeing His Majesty's anger, the servants and maids in the palace were startled, and hurriedly prostrated themselves on the ground with their foreheads pressed against the floor, not daring to breathe.

"Your Majesty, this old slave doesn't know, this, this..."

Zhao Gao bowed his body and said with a wry smile again and again, at a loss for what to do.

"Your Majesty, this is the voluntary action of the guilty minister and others. The guilty minister and others have come to plead guilty to His Majesty!"

Xiao Hongyuan said in a dark voice, while slowly moving his knees, trying to turn around on his knees.

At the same time, Xiao Zhijie and Xiao Tianzong also gritted their teeth and forced themselves to turn around in the piercing pain.

"Don't move!"

Xia Ao yelled, and then walked quickly to Xiao Hongyuan and the other three, with distressed expressions on his face.

"Grandpa, you, how can you do such self-harm? Isn't this making me blame myself?"

"His Majesty……"

Xiao Hongyuan opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Xia Ao raising his hand.

"Grandpa, don't talk yet."

After saying that, Xia Ao turned around and stared at Zhao Gao.

"What are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and get someone to remove these poisons for the three heroes?"

"Yes Yes……"

Zhao Gao hurriedly nodded and waved to several servants.

"Your Majesty, the death penalty is not worthy of His Majesty's distress. Let these Zi Chanjing stay with us..."

Xiao Hongyuan said in a somber voice, but there was no trace of blood on his dry lips.

"Bullshit!"

Xia Ao glared at Xiao Hongyuan, waved his hand to let several servants carefully remove the thorns from the three of them, and then looked at Zhao Gao.

"Immediately send someone to the imperial hospital and invite some imperial doctors!"

"Yes!"

"and many more!"

"His Majesty?"

"Let Bian Que, the head of the imperial hospital, bring someone here in person! Go!"

Xia Ao sternly ordered, his tone anxious.

"Yes!"

Zhao Gao hurriedly recruited a clever servant and asked him to go to the imperial hospital to call for someone.

Seeing this, Xiao Hongyuan and the other three felt slightly relieved, and the heart that had been holding on all the time was slightly relieved.

Before being called into the palace, no one knew what would happen to them.

Therefore, after the three of them discussed it, they decided to plead guilty, hoping to use this bitter trick to increase some hope of life.

At present, it seems that this trick should have some effect...

Two quarters of an hour later, after staring at Xiao Hongyuan and the three who walked out of the side hall for a while, Xia Ao's eyes fixed on Bian Que.

"How? Didn't you hurt the source?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, General Yunhui Zhonglang is fine, but the general and the chariot general are old after all, and there are some old injuries and hidden diseases in their bodies, which dampen their vitality."

Bian Que responded softly, and then smiled lightly.

"But don't worry, Your Majesty, I have applied Yuling ointment to the three generals, and let them eat the top-grade Guben Peiyuan Pill newly developed by the Imperial Hospital. They only need to cultivate them quietly for five to seven days, and they will be able to recover." Pretty much, it won't be a problem."

"That's good."

Xia Ao let out a breath, and his tense face finally relaxed.

"Aiqing has worked hard, let's go back and rest first."

"Yes! The minister will leave."

After Bian Que left, Xia Ao glared at Xiao Hongyuan and the others, his eyes somewhat hated that iron could not be made into steel.

"General, I said that the three of you are too incomprehensible, how could you do such a self-harming act?"

"Fortunately, Chief Bianyuan has a panacea in his hands. Otherwise, let's not talk about it, the two of you will never think about comfort in your later years!"

Hearing Xia Ao's reprimand, Xiao Hongyuan shook his head with a wry smile, but then, together with Xiao Zhijie and Xiao Tianzong, knelt down towards Xia Ao again.

"Your Majesty, the ministers were negligent and let Xiao Tianlin and other Xiao family villains join forces to plot against you, Your Majesty, which almost caused a catastrophe!"

"For such a serious crime, the minister deserves it even if he apologizes with death. What is the mere punishment of thorns?"

"Your Majesty, I have come here not to ask for your forgiveness, but to see you again before I die, and to apologize to you face to face!"

"In addition, I have another request, and I hope His Majesty will grant it."

Seeing the earnest Xiao Hongyuan, Xia Ao frowned slightly.

"Let's not talk about the apology, let's talk about your request first."

"Yes!"

Xiao Hongyuan bowed his head respectfully, and then took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, the Xiao family has come to this point, it is entirely their own fault. In the final analysis, it is still a problem of greed."

"Since the Xiao family has become a famous family in Daxia, everyone with the surname Xiao will come here to forcibly seek connections and rush to recognize their ancestors. Some of the so-called offshoots are actually strangers who can't be beat."

"There are even many people who choose to marry into the Xiao family, so that all the people who should have his surname also have the surname Xiao. This continuous snowball makes the snowball bigger and bigger, and the so-called Xiao family becomes In this huge and chaotic lake, there are all kinds of people, and there are countless cancers hidden in it."

"These days, the ministers have been reflecting on this issue."

"Originally, although the officials were aware of the hidden dangers, they didn't know how to deal with them. However, Liu Qubai, the prefect of Fengyan Mansion, dealt with the Xiyue Yu family, which made the officials and others enlightened!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Hongyuan paused slightly, and looked at Xia Ao with burning eyes.

"Your Majesty, the old minister wants to follow the example of Liu Fu Yin and divide the Xiao family into divisions, and divide this chaotic lake into trickling rivers."

"In this way, without the depth and breadth of hiding filth, similar hidden dangers will naturally cease to exist!"

Xia Ao laughed secretly, he knew that Xiao Hongyuan would bring it up.

In fact, this clever strategy was not something that Liu Qubai could come up with, but the result of the secret instruction of Guo Jia, Minister of the Ministry of War.

Its real target is Xiao Shi.

The Yu family of Xiyue is just an unlucky guy who was used as an opening introduction.

Of course, this strategy is not only aimed at the Xiao family, as long as it is necessary, it can also be used on other aristocratic families and rich families with big tails and bad influence.

All this is to ensure the supremacy of the imperial power and cannot be challenged!
The ghost talent Guo Jia's reputation is not in vain...

"Your analysis makes some sense, and your idea is not impossible. But since you have already made a decision, you can just do it directly, why do you need to ask me?"

Xia Ao nodded thoughtfully, then asked in doubt.

Xiao Hongyuan gave a wry smile and sighed: "Your Majesty, this kind of thing cannot be done by relying on the ministers alone. If you want to succeed, you can only follow the measures taken against the Xiyue Yu Clan, saying 'If you don't follow, you will be treasonous'." Only by imprisoning him with the shackles of "crime" can we ensure success."

"I understand."

Xia Ao suddenly nodded, and after pondering for a while, looked at Shangguan Wan'er.

"The imperial order is to follow the general's wishes, to draw up the Taoist will for me, and let the relevant departments cooperate with the general's decision to act."

"According to the order!"

After Shangguan Wan'er accepted the instruction, Xiao Hongyuan heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Xia Ao calmly.

"Your Majesty, the minister's wish has been fulfilled, and he can go on the road with peace of mind."

Xia Ao frowned slightly, and looked at Xiao Hongyuan amusedly.

"General, when did I say I wanted your lives?"

"Even if you don't mention your relationship with me, the three of you are all loyal and brave generals who have made great achievements for our Great Xia, and have made great achievements. How can I kill you?"

A gleam of light flashed in Xiao Hongyuan's old eyes, and he said gratefully: "Old minister, thank you for your majesty's favor!"

"But Your Majesty, Xiao Tianlin and other members of the Xiao clan conspired against each other. If Your Majesty does not severely punish us, we may not be able to convince everyone."

"The old ministers are grateful for His Majesty's kindness, but they absolutely don't want to make it difficult for His Majesty. If His Majesty can't bear to kill the ministers, why not throw them into the prison..."

Xia Ao waved his hand to interrupt, and after pondering for a while, he opened his mouth and said: "What the general said is not unreasonable. Although Xiao's conspiracy has nothing to do with the three of you, if you don't punish, you won't be able to convince the world. But, I am I will definitely not treat meritorious ministers like this."

"How about this, the three of you will be stripped of your rank and demoted first, and you will be retained in place of your guilt, and I will be promoted after you have made convincing achievements in the future. How?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Xiao Hongyuan, Xiao Zhijie, Xiao Tianzong and the others lit up, and their anxious hearts completely settled down.

"Honor, please thank Your Majesty!"

Looking at the three people who knocked their heads respectfully, Xia Ao nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, from now on, the general will be wronged to take up the post of the right servant of the Ministry of War."

"As for Zhijie and Tianzong, let's serve as marching captains for the time being..."
