Chapter 860
Seeing the unbearable anger of the crowd, and the chaos of the kings headed by Luoyang King Xiao Jingyao could not be quelled, the ministers of the court jointly signed a letter to Shangshu, asking the emperor to kill Deng Xian, the servant, and Fang Shixian, the prime minister, and restore Dayin's homeland, in exchange for the kings to stop fighting. .

Xiao Heng was furious, as if he had suffered a great humiliation, he threw down the booklet from Shangshu, and said sharply: "I am the majestic king of a country, how can I be restrained by the vassal king because of this?"

"Your Majesty, ever since Fang Shixian persuaded the Emperor to cut down the vassal, I, Dayin, have been in civil strife. Prime Minister Han resigned, Master Fan died as a martyr, and other virtuous ministers either retired from their posts or were moved to remote places by the prime minister. Our loyal ministers It is decreasing day by day, and if this continues, the fortune of our country will surely decline!"

The one who spoke was Shen Rui, who was given a free-time civil servant and the master of Situ!

"Yes, Your Majesty, the King of Luoyang is loyal and courageous. If he hadn't been forced by the prime minister, Fang Shixian, he would not have rashly raised his troops to ask for the punishment of treacherous ministers. On the side of the Qing emperor, I hope that the emperor will punish treacherous ministers for the sake of Dayin's safety!"

Other civil servants also nodded in agreement. Some of them were dissatisfied with the prime minister's relaxation of his hand covering the sky, or dissatisfied with the servant Deng Xian who was most trusted by the emperor, and they also took this opportunity to express their dissatisfaction.

Xiao Heng pondered for a long time, but did not nod his head in agreement... But at this moment, the scouts came to report that the governor of Yongzhou failed to resist, and was personally beheaded by the subordinates of Wuling King Xiao Rong, and all the soldiers of Yongzhou surrendered.

Xiao Heng's complexion changed drastically, and under many persuasions from civil servants, he finally slowly and arduously made the order to execute Deng Xian, the servant, and Fang Shixian, the prime minister, so as to quell the military chaos in Dayin.

Attendant Deng Xian had already heard that the people clamored to execute him on the side of the Qing emperor, and before Xiao Heng sent someone to take him away, he drank a glass of poisoned wine in his mansion and forgot about it!

Fang Shixian, the prime minister who planned to escape with his family, was caught by the Habayashi army before he left the imperial capital, and was thrown into a prison, where he was executed on the same day!

By the time Xiao Heng got the letter Deng Xian had left for him, the two treacherous ministers in the eyes of the people had already been executed!
Looking at the line left by Deng Xian, Xiao Heng frowned and sighed.

Attendant Deng Xian has always been his most trusted subject, and now in order to quell the rebellion of the feudal lord, he actually sacrificed the most trusted person around him, Xiao Heng couldn't bear the grief in his heart.

"This time, even Deng Xian was cruelly eliminated, and I really became a lonely person!" Xiao Heng held the letter tightly, and smiled helplessly.

Han Xiang'er handed him a cup of hot tea, and said softly, "Your Majesty, you have a concubine by your side, so how can you be lonely?"

Xiao Heng looked at Han Xiang'er, held her boneless hands in his palms, and sighed deeply: "Yes, by my side, you are the only one now..."

Han Xiang'er smiled faintly, and leaned into Xiao Heng's arms, an imperceptible cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

The matter of Xiao Heng's killing of servant Deng Xian and prime minister Fang Shixian has been sent to Xiao Jingyao, king of Luoyang, and asked him to retreat back to Luoyang.

However, Xiao Jingyao refused Xiao Heng's order to let him retreat, and continued to lead an army of tens of thousands to the south. Taking advantage of the cold winter night, he raided the rebel general Wu Bing's stronghold in Guoyang and captured Yanzhou.

Wu Bing didn't expect Luoyang Wang Xiao Jingyao's elite soldiers to be so brave. He was caught off guard and quickly led the remnant army of 10 people to retreat, and hurriedly retreated into Qiaocheng, unable to hold out.

When Xiao Heng heard about this, he was very furious: "Okay, this is the idea you gave me. People have been punished, but the King of Luoyang still has no intention of retreating..."
