Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 339: Purging the Qian Kingdom
Everyone heard the voice and looked over, and saw Wu Rulong's face was like gold paper, his hands and sleeves were in pieces, and there were dots of bright red at the corners of his mouth, as if he was injured.

Wu Tianhu was startled and frowned: "Are you injured?"

"My internal organs have suffered a slight shock. I have to adjust my breathing for three to five days. It's not a big problem."

Wu Rulong laughed, a little surprised and helpless, and looked at Zhao Kang and said: "I'm sorry, Imperial Master, Xiao Feiyu is a tiger that is difficult to control. He is very strong but only slightly inferior to me. After all, it is difficult to capture him. Let him escape."

Zhao Kang said quickly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to blame yourself. If it had not been for Your Majesty's action this time, we would probably not be the opponent of this thief. Please go to the side hall to rest. After Zhao Kang has dealt with these matters, I will thank Your Majesty again." "

Wu Rulong nodded, and Zhao Kang called the palace maid and eunuch to escort Wu Rulong and others to the side hall.

After thinking about it, he looked at Zhou Long and said, "Zhou Long, lead your troops and call all the officials from the capital city, big and small, who have not yet arrived. I'll wait for them here."

"Follow the orders of the Imperial Master." Zhou Long immediately took a part of the imperial army to summon people.

Sitting on the stone steps, Zhao Kang sighed in his heart. It was a pity that Wu Rulong failed to capture Xiao Feiyu. As long as this guy didn't die, he would be a disaster after all.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, Wu Rulong still has the status of Emperor Jingguo.

Facing the powerful Xiao Feiyu, of course Wu Rulong was eager for this evenly matched battle.

But considering his status as a king, any mistake would be a fatal blow to Jing Guo, so he would definitely have some scruples during the battle.

Only then could Xiao Feiyu escape from his hands.

"Master, National Preceptor, what should I do with this corpse?"

A soldier cleaning the battlefield cautiously came to the scene and pointed at Lu Xueying's body.

Zhao Kang glanced at him and said calmly: "Put Prince Ning on the charge of rebellion and treason. Drag him down and bury him. No one is allowed to destroy his body."

"As ordered!"

Although there is a mortal feud between the two, Zhao Kang is still willing to give him the respect that a third-level powerhouse deserves since he has killed the other.

In a short time, Zhou Long led a large number of officials to the imperial city.

There are three big bosses in the six books of official affairs: Wang Yuanqing of the official department, Zhang Mingyuan of the household department, and Wei Guan of the criminal department.In addition, all other officials, such as Liu Jian'an, the commander-in-chief of the Military and Horse Division, were all present.

Some of them didn't even wear official uniforms at all, and they still looked confused at this moment. How could the Imperial Guard pull us up from our sleep?

When everyone saw Zhao Kang sitting on the stone steps with his hands crossed and looking at them, their eyes widened and they were startled.

Zhang Mingyuan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, even rubbed his eyes: "Didn't I see a ghost? State? State Preceptor?!"

"It's me, Master Zhang. Long time no see." Zhao Kang said calmly.

Wei Guan and Wang Yuanqing also looked in disbelief and trotted forward quickly: "Really, is it really the Imperial Master?"

"Master Wei, Master Wang, it's been a long time, but I, Zhao Kang, am still alive."

Everyone present was shocked. Looking at Zhao Kang who had "resurrected from the dead", his expression was wonderful.

Zhao Kang spoke again: "I have invited everyone here late tonight. I have no other intention. I just want to tell everyone. King Ning Xiao Feiyu, together with the Taifu Zhao Jinsheng, the Minister of Industry Lin Yu, the Yushi doctor Zeng An, the official minister Chang Kai, Zhou Muyuan, Langguan of the Ministry of Finance... A total of 27 officials, big and small, rebelled, intending to usurp the throne! They have been suppressed by the national division."

The scene was in an uproar, and Wang Yuanqing was shocked and angry: "How dare this happen! How dare these rebellious officials and traitors be so bold! Imperial Master! Is Your Majesty okay?" "God bless the country, God bless the country. Fortunately, there is a national teacher, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. !" Zhang Mingyuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, shouted happily.

Wei Guan looked very distressed: "What a good Prince Ning, what a good Zhao Jinsheng, I didn't expect them to dare to rebel. We don't know anything about such a big thing!"

Zhao Kang looked at the three of them coldly, seeming to sense that something was not right in the atmosphere. Zhang Mingyuan coughed, and Wei Guan, who originally wanted to say something, quickly shut up.

Zhao Kang didn't bother to lecture the three of them at this moment. He stood up and looked at the officials, big and small, and said solemnly: "The rebels are plotting rebellion. Now, except for the leader Xiao Feiyu, all the others have been executed."

"Zhao Jinsheng, Lin Yu and others have all their families confiscated and exiled to Tongzhou for three generations. They will not be able to return to the imperial capital for generations to come!"

"Before His Majesty issues a new decree, you all should perform your duties and must not slack off in government affairs. Liu Jian'an!"

"Your Majesty is here." The commander-in-chief of the Military and Horse Division hurriedly responded and looked at Zhao Kang cautiously.

Zhao Kang: "Post a notice to inform the world about King Ning's rebellion. Anyone who knows King Ning's whereabouts will be rewarded with a reward of [-]. Anyone who dares to protect King Ning will be implicated in the nine tribes!"

"Yes, yes!" Liu Jian'an swallowed and quickly retreated.

I couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Zhao Kang didn't know what the situation was, and why he felt like he was giving orders on behalf of His Majesty.

"Master Wang, Master Zhang and Master Wei, shall we three chat?"

After explaining the matter, Zhao Kang sneered and looked at the three ministers, except for the two three ministers, Zhao Jinsheng and Yang Qianyun.

The six ministers can be said to be the most powerful officials in the country, especially the official department, which is the head of the six departments and is responsible for personnel appointments.

Basically all officials are appointed by them.

Hearing Zhao Kang's words, Wang Yuanqing and the other two looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. Just as they were about to speak, Zhao Kang had already turned around and left.

The three of them had no choice but to follow.

It took nearly two hours from when the rebels started their rebellion until they were suppressed. It was roughly around two o'clock in the night.

The night was getting quieter and quieter, with lights on the left and right sides. Wang Yuanqing and the other three followed carefully behind them. They wanted to speak countless times but suppressed them.

Zhao Kang in front suddenly stopped and put his hands behind his back without looking back. Wang Yuanqing and the others also stopped quickly.

Zhao Kang spread his hands, touched the stone railing and said calmly: "It has been more than a year and a half since I left Yuanjiang County to serve as an official in the imperial capital. Now, I, Zhao Kang, am not only called the Imperial Master, but I am also honored to be granted the title of Imperial Master by Your Majesty. Being a king with a different surname can be said to be extremely honorable in the Qian Kingdom."

Zhang Mingyuan hurriedly flattered: "The national master defeated Zhang Zi, offered sweet potatoes, and defeated the Zhou and Qi armies to save our country from danger. It can be said that it saved the world! It is simply the patron saint of my great power. We should all imitate the national master!" "

"Yes, yes!" Wei Guan said quickly.

Wang Yuanqing also hurriedly said: "This time we suppressed Prince Ning's rebellion. From the looks of it, I can bear the name of a different king!"

Zhao Kang also laughed: "That's right, I think so too."

Wang Yuanqing and the others heaved a sigh of relief, but then they heard Zhao Kang's voice rising: "But!"
