Chapter 1507: Great Zhou Loyal Minister
Chapter 1507: Great Zhou Loyal Minister
All the officials at the scene opened their mouths wide when they heard Yuwen Chan's words.
You just stabbed Yang Jian's heart through and drew a cross on him, showing your determination and cruelty in killing him. Now you tell us that you want to make Yang Jian a king and bury him with you as a loyal minister, and at the same time you will not hold the entire Yang family accountable. Is there such a ridiculous joke in the world?
Is the late emperor crazy?
But it was good this way. The late emperor could let the Yang family go, so there was no reason why he would not let our family go. The ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and some shrewd people, while breathing a sigh of relief, suddenly realized Yuwen Chan's little calculation, and then shouted in their hearts, "Great!"
Yes, Yuwen Chan's plan is not difficult to guess, because although Yuwen Chan killed Yang Jian, the world has been controlled by Yang Jian for two or three years. The court has been replaced by Yang Jian's people, all of whom are Yang Jian's ministers and criminals who usurped the Yuwen family's throne. What these people fear most is that after Yuwen Chan is restored to power, he will settle accounts with them, the former traitors.
Therefore, if Yuwen Chan carried out a large-scale massacre of Yang Jian and even the entire Yang family, all the rebellious ministers would become uneasy and would never agree to Yuwen Chan's restoration.
But if Yuwen Chan could forgive even the Yang family, and even give Yang Jian himself posthumous honors, and determine that he was loyal and not a traitor... Well, although it is really difficult to describe a loyal minister who plotted to usurp the throne, and history does not know how to cover it up with words, but as long as Yang Jian was a loyal minister, then Yang Jian's ministers would naturally be loyal ministers as well, and there would be absolutely no reason for Yuwen Chan to settle these matters.
To put it bluntly, Yuwen Chan reassured all his ministers by enthroning Yang Jian, expressing that he only wanted to restore the throne. To everyone, it was just a change of emperor. The country's name was changed from Great Sui to Great Zhou, and nothing else changed.
After understanding this, everyone's resistance and fear towards Yuwen Chan naturally disappeared.
Of course, it is impossible to regain the position of emperor with just this one sentence. After all, although you killed Yang Jian, you only killed Yang Jian.
Yang Jian's son, his ministers, and his army are still there. If the Yang family had reacted and sent out troops to encircle and suppress them, the world would still belong to the Yang family. It was indeed amazing that you, Yuwen Chan, carefully designed a trick of faking your death and took the risk to kill Yang Jian with one blow, but you did not regain control of the world.
After all, the world has experienced changes of dynasties, and you still do not have absolute advantages now, so it is impossible for them to really recognize Yuwen Chan as the emperor.
However, Yuwen Chan was once an emperor after all, and everyone still remembers the past. There are still many people in the world who are loyal to the Yuwen family, so they will oppose Yuwen Chan now.
Anyway, the main thing is to wait. After this chaos is settled, they will kneel down and shout "Long live the man on the dragon throne".
It was just that some people had different ideas. Among the hundreds of ministers, dozens of them knelt down and cried out in tears, "Your Majesty, you are finally back... Your Majesty, now that you are back, the sky of the Great Zhou is bright again! Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, pay my respects to our emperor. Long live the emperor!"
These dozens of ministers were obviously the true loyal subjects of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. They were previously hindered by Yang Jian's power. Now that Yang Jian was killed and Yuwen Chan was restored, their blood was boiling and they naturally knelt down without hesitation to pay homage to their true emperor.
Of course, some were loyal to Yuwen Chan, and some were loyal to Yang Jian. For example, the captain of Yang Jian's personal guard finally reacted at this time, and immediately drew his sword, commanding his men, "Brothers, go ahead and kill this traitor and avenge your majesty!"
Most of the people who could become Yang Jian's personal guards were naturally loyal to Yang Jian. Dozens of guards immediately drew their weapons and rushed forward, wanting to take the opportunity to kill Yuwen Chan and avenge Yang Jian. However, their actions were too slow. The moment the captain opened his mouth, Li Jing jumped high like a big bird and flew forward at an unimaginable speed. Before the other guards could react, Li Jing beheaded the captain.
The high level of martial arts and the horrific killing shocked all the guards on the scene. They couldn't help but recall the violent scene where Li Jing chopped off the entire coffin with one sword. The swords that had been extended were retracted at this moment.
At this time, Yuwen Chan said loudly, "Brothers, I admire your loyalty to the King of Sui very much, but the King of Sui was originally my subject and grandfather. He bullied my orphans and widows first, and then took away the Great Zhou from me. We have a deep blood feud. I killed him for the great cause of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it has nothing to do with your loyalty."
"I promise you that as long as you become the subjects of the Great Zhou again, you will still be my personal guards. All of your treatment will be increased by 30% on the original basis. My safety will still be protected by you. Since you can be loyal to the King of Sui, you can also be loyal to me!"
If an ordinary person says such words, it may seem hypocritical and disgusting.
But Erfeng was different. Although he was only an 8-year-old child at that time, he walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and his words and expressions had the air of an emperor. Others could not help but be convinced!
With Yuwen Chan's thoughtful words and the fact that the captain had already died, many guards put down their swords, and many even knelt down immediately, shouting "Long live the emperor".
Of course, there were still some people who were extremely loyal to Yang Jian and wanted to take action. However, as their numbers were small, they were no match for Li Jing, who had already cultivated immortals. Before they could get within ten steps of Yuwen Chan, they were directly killed by Li Jing using various means.
"Alas! These guards are all loyal ministers. Pass the order down. Don't blame their nine clans in the future. It will be enough to kill all these guards and their families!" Yuwen Chan sighed. The other guards who were still hesitant completely gave up the idea of killing Yuwen Chan.
"Pharmacist, all these guards are now under your command!" Yuwen Chan said to Li Jing.
"Yes!" Li Jing nodded, and the local authorities began to reorganize these guards, disrupting their original commanders and soldiers, and then making promises and giving them rewards.
Li Jing was a true military god. He reorganized these guards in just a few minutes. Although it was impossible to command them to kill the enemy immediately, it was no problem to order them to guard the mourning hall again and just turn the blades inwards and watch these court officials.
