Looking at Concubine Yi who stood up to take charge of the overall situation at this time, Lin Hao said indifferently:

"Ten thousand!"

Concubine Yi frowned and asked: "Before you gathered soldiers and horses from each battalion, I heard that there were 12 soldiers and horses, why did you say there were only [-]!"

Chapter 364 Please give the Queen Mother an order

Concubine Yi frowned and asked: "Before you gathered soldiers and horses from each battalion, I heard that there were 12 soldiers and horses, why did you say there were only [-]!"

Lin Hao didn't care about Concubine Yi's attitude. After all, their relationship was unusual, so Lin Hao said calmly:

"Although there are 12 soldiers, after cleaning up the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are barely [-] soldiers left. They have only been trained for two months. In my eyes, they are not combatable soldiers because they have almost no combat effectiveness. !”

At this time, both the concubine and the court officials felt their hearts pounding at the same time. No one in the court was a fool, and they could still hear King Yan's excuses.

Although the 12 soldiers were selected and left over, they were still the Forbidden Army after all and could not lack combat effectiveness.

At this time, the Song Dynasty had reached a critical juncture, but King Yan, who had a large number of troops, was unwilling to lead troops to quell the rebellion. So what did King Yan want to do? Could it be...

Just when everyone was frightened, Lin Hao suddenly said:

"Actually, I know what you are worried about!"

"Aren't you just worried that I would lead troops to rebel? In order to divide the little military power in my hands and reduce the threat from this king to you, you actually manipulated local rebellions!"

"What? Manipulating local rebellion?" The officials looked at Lin Hao in surprise when they heard this, and then began to whisper, and many of them had their eyes flickering, and then lowered their heads and said nothing!

Lin Hao then pointed at everyone in the court and said disdainfully:

"Do you really think I don't know anything?"

"The so-called rebellions in Xinyang, Shangqiu, and Yuzhou are actually just a farce planned by some people."

"There are indeed rebellions in these three places, but the scale is not as large as the people in the court today. As long as Zhao Zongquan and others arrive at the place and casually walk around, the rebellion can be wiped out!"

"Well, no, it should be recruitment!" Lin Hao then said to Duke Qi: "Right! Duke Qi!"

"After all, you went to King Pu Zhao Zongquan's house in person a month ago to discuss the strategy together!"

Afterwards, Concubine Yi and the ministers looked suspiciously at Duke Qi.

"You, you, are talking nonsense! Never, never have I ever done such a despicable thing!" Upon hearing this, the Duke of Qi suddenly said angrily with a red face.

However, Qi Guogong seemed to have thought of something, so he retorted:

"No, if it is according to what King Yan said, then why did King Pu and others fail miserably? Gu Tingye even almost lost his life!"

"It is clear that the King of Yan has ulterior motives and is unwilling to lead troops to quell the rebellion. It is even a false accusation!"

At this time, Lin Hao said calmly:

"Because there are still many people who have not been found out in the previous two kings' rebellion. Most of these people were sent to the local state capitals, and they have long been hiding there!"

"But your fake rebellion this time gave them an excellent opportunity to annihilate all the effective forces of the imperial court!"

Duke Qi's eyes were hesitant, and then he said forcefully:

"Wait a minute, how could you know their plan so well? Could it be that you planned a sneak attack and then framed us!"

But Lin Hao was staring at Qi Guogong at this time. In the end, Qi Guogong was stared at so hard that the hair on his body stood up.

Duke Qi opened his mouth to say something, but under Lin Hao's eyes, he still couldn't say anything.

Seeing that Duke Qi didn't speak, Lin Hao suddenly said:

"Arrests!"

"Yes!" The golden melon warriors outside the door responded at the same time.

Duke Qi was immediately startled, thinking that Lin Hao had someone come to arrest him, so he was so frightened that he wanted to run away!

However, the warriors who rushed into the court at this time did not arrest him. Instead, they bypassed him and arrested several fourth- and fifth-grade courtiers behind him!

The captured courtiers immediately shouted unyieldingly:

"King Yan, you maliciously slandered, slandered and framed good people. We are so innocent. Could it be that you want to rebel?"

This incident shocked everyone. It was clear that the Duke of Qi and the King of Yan were in conflict, but the person arrested by the King of Yan was someone else, which made them confused for a while.

At this time, Lin Hao walked up to one of them and said:

"Why, you haven't taken the initiative to explain yourself? Do you want me to give you a little more harsh treatment?"

At this time, the courtier said with an unyielding expression: "King Yan, don't be so arrogant~!"

However, before he could finish his words, Lin Hao said: "One finger!"

The golden melon warrior who was escorting the courtier picked up the golden melon and slammed it on his finger!

"Wow~~~~!" A scream came.

However, the Golden Melon Warrior ignored his screams and instead saluted Lin Hao:

"Your Highness, Prince Yan, please forgive me for accidentally hammering two of his fingers!"

Lin Hao patted his shoulder and said:

"It doesn't matter. He won't explain anyway. Sooner or later he will be hammered. If you keep hammering, use your toes if you don't have enough fingers!"

Then Lin Hao knelt down and said to the courtier:

"If the toes are not enough, then hammer all the protruding parts of his body into pulp!"

"Suck~~!" Both Concubine Rong and the courtiers below, including those who were arrested, all gasped!

"Too cruel!" This is the common thought in everyone's mind!

The courtier trembled all over after hearing this. They didn't know whether it was because of pain or fear. Thinking of King Yan's previous methods of killing people in the court, they had no doubts about what King Yan would really do!

If the punishment is not worthy of a doctor or the courtesy of a commoner, it is nothing in the eyes of King Yan, so he stopped holding on and immediately begged for mercy:

"I say~, I say! I will tell you everything. No matter what His Highness asks, I will tell the truth truthfully. I also ask Your Highness, King Yan, to spare my life!"

Lin Hao raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "I didn't expect him to be a weakling again!"

Then Lin Hao stood up and asked:

"The King Yan you were loyal to before was still King Yong!"

Seeing Lin Hao waiting for him, he had no choice but to explain:

"It's King Yong!"

It stands to reason that Lin Hao should ask about his participation in the rebellion at this time, but Lin Hao cleverly bypassed this question and continued to ask:

"Then who protected you when you were liquidated before!"

"This~!" The courtier hesitated.

"Hmm~?" Lin Hao narrowed his eyes.

Then Lin Hao said to the Golden Melon Warrior: "One more finger!"

The courtier immediately trembled and said:

"I said, I said, it was Han Zhang and Fu Bi who were supposed to be liquidated by His Highness before, but we were picked out!"

After getting the answer Lin Hao wanted, Lin Hao stopped questioning him and looked at the other people. They immediately said:

"It is indeed Han Zhang and Fu Bi who protected us, and more officials were sent to other places, but we stayed in Bianjing to find out the news!"

Then Lin Hao discovered that they wanted to explain more things, so Lin Hao immediately interrupted:

"Come here, take them all under custody and try them later!"

"Yes!" Then the Golden Melon Warrior took several people away, and when they were taken away, they shouted: "Thank you, Your Highness, King Yan, thank you for not killing me...!"

However, at this time, everyone felt that King Yan's question was a little strange, but for a moment they didn't know where the blame was!

Just listen to Lin Hao saying loudly to Concubine Yi:

"I am reporting to the Imperial Concubine that Han Zhang and Fu Bi have gathered a crowd to rebel. I request the Imperial Concubine to execute these two men as a warning to others!"

"Yes!" Concubine Yi nodded without hesitation.

You know, although King Yan and King Yong died, the remnants left behind also threatened her son's throne.

Therefore, when Lin Hao said that she wanted to execute these two guys, she agreed without hesitation. As far as she was concerned, anyone who threatened her son's throne should be executed!

In fact, she wanted to kill Zhao Zongquan even more, because the biggest threat to the throne was Zhao Zongquan.

However, there are some things that she cannot deal with personally. Instead, she should seize the handle and let others handle it for her, just like King Yan!

Thinking of Zhao Zongquan being ambushed, it seems to be good news. The key is that they are all involved in the rebellion of the two kings. If the operation is done well, maybe the military power in Zhao Zongquan's hands can be taken away!

Just as Concubine Yi was thinking about asking King Yan to send troops to quell the rebellion now, she heard Lin Hao continue to say:

"The Empress Dowager is informed that Pu Wang Zhao Zongquan, Qi Guogong, Gu Tingye, and Liang Han have stirred up rebellion and should be punished for their crimes!"

"If these four thieves are not killed, the people will not be angry. Please issue an order from the Queen Mother to deprive the three tribes of these four people!"

Then all the courtiers, including Concubine Yi, were stunned. Wasn't the Queen Mother sent back to the palace?

However, at this time, the chamberlain who was supporting the Queen Mother returned to the court step by step. It turned out that when they were about to send Queen Mother Cao back to the palace for treatment by the imperial doctor, they were stopped by the golden melon warrior at the door!

But at this time, when King Yan called the Queen Mother, the golden melon warriors approached step by step, and the chamberlain could only retreat back with the unconscious Queen Mother.

At this time, Lin Hao continued: "Please give the order from the Queen Mother!"

The "coma" Queen Mother Cao did not move, but Lin Hao remained unmoved. Then the Jingua Warriors approached again, and they retreated again.

Then Lin Hao said calmly:

"If the Queen Mother still doesn't wake up, then we will stay here until the Queen Mother wakes up!"

Everyone finally understood. The Queen Mother was probably pretending to be faint after knowing that Zhao Zongquan and others suffered a tragic defeat.

They just didn’t know why the Queen Mother pretended to be faint, but they knew that King Yan must know something!

At this time, the ministers in the court felt like fools, as if they were being played around by the Queen Mother, Zhao Zongquan, Qi Guogong, Gu Tingye, Liang Han and others.

No, there should be King Yan!

Later, the officials couldn't help but feel resentful towards these people, so they simply continued to watch the fun. It was quite interesting to watch them dog-eat-dog!

Concubine Yi also looked at Empress Dowager Cao in confusion, as if she wanted to understand something, so she stopped talking and waited for King Yan's next move!
