So the whole court fell silent until a quarter of an hour (15 minutes) passed.

Queen Mother Cao, who finally stood, couldn't stand it any longer, so she woke up leisurely, and then asked falsely:

"Where is this palace?"

However, no one answered her, including Concubine Yi, who just looked at her coldly, because when King Yan spoke before, she clearly saw Empress Dowager Cao trembling!

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Queen Mother Cao also fell silent, and then the hall was silent again and could hear the needle drop!

Queen Mother Cao is not a fool. She is currently faced with two choices, either agree or refuse!

If he agrees, there will inevitably be an imbalance in the court.

Because King Yan had previously ousted Han Zhang and He Fubi from power, and now the concubine had agreed to execute them, only three of the four forces left by the late emperor were left.

And now he has to order himself to eradicate Zhao Zong and others, which will leave two forces. At the same time, the Gu Hou family, the second force in the military, will also be uprooted.

However, Princess Yi still couldn't see the situation clearly. Currently, no one in the court could check and balance King Yan, so King Yan could do whatever he wanted.

But if she refuses, it is possible that King Yan will immediately raise his flag to rebel. But now the ministers in the court are bewitched by King Yan and unanimously target her.

One is to die directly, the other is to wait for death, how does she choose...!

After finally weighing the pros and cons, she chose the lesser of the two evils. Empress Dowager Cao said in a dry voice:

"If King Yan can extinguish all rebellions, I will give you this decree!"

After a long time, Lin Hao said calmly:

"If the Queen Mother makes this decree, then I can lead troops to extinguish all rebellions at any time!"

At this time, Concubine Yi's eyes lit up and she asked in disbelief:

"They have brought an army of 28 people this time. I don't know how many of them will come back. Can King Yan really put down the rebellion?"

Lin Hao was still very patient when facing Concubine Yi, so he showed an indifferent smile and said:

"In the past, I led three thousand cavalry to annihilate Xixia. This was just a small rebellion and could be destroyed with just one hand~!"

At this time, everyone in the entire court was shocked by Lin Hao's powerful momentum.

Thinking of the fact that King Yan led 16 cavalry at the age of [-], and fought battle after battle, the army fought more and more, until by the time Xixia was destroyed, he had gathered [-] cavalry.

Therefore, it seems reasonable for King Yan to have such confidence!

At this time, I heard Lin Hao say again:

"However, it is not difficult for me to put down the rebellion. What is difficult is that after the rebellion is put down, if there are no officials to take charge of local government affairs, the rebellion may rekindle as soon as they leave!"

Concubine Yi frowned and asked, "What should we do?"

Then Lin Hao looked at the ministers in the court and said:

"At this moment, I don't know if there are any remnants of the rebellion of the two kings in the court!"

When the ministers heard what Lin Hao said, they immediately lowered their heads, fearing that they would become the remnant in the mouth of King Yan!

Lin Hao nodded with satisfaction, and then said:

"The Jinshi of Enke this time has not yet been assigned a place due to the rebellion. It would be better for me to take the Jinshi of Enke with me."

"When the time comes, every time I pacify a place, I will send a Jinshi to serve as the local magistrate or magistrate. I hope that such rebellions will not happen again!"

Concubine Yi's eyes lit up when she heard this. The new Jinshi were different from these old men in the court. They were simpler.

After all, they were Enke Jinshi, considered disciples of the emperor, and her son was the emperor.

When Empress Dowager Cao heard this, she was a little confused. King Yan obviously had the strength to raise a rebellion, but he actually stabilized the foundation of the Song Dynasty.

So what was the purpose of King Yan being so domineering before?

Do you really want to be Huo Guang instead of Wang Mang?

Chapter 365 Putting Down the Rebellion

King Yan's actions left Queen Mother Cao a little confused.

But again, the lesser of the two evils, as long as the current rebellion can be quelled, the Song Dynasty can at least survive for a few more years.

As for the problem of King Yan, we can only leave it to the future to find a solution!

The five ministers standing not far away from Lin Hao suddenly trembled when they heard Lin Hao said that he wanted new scholars to take up their posts.

Because they thought of one thing, King Yan had asked the five of them to temporarily suppress the allocation of new Jinshi, but they did not dare to say anything!

Doesn’t that mean...!

At this time, Empress Dowager Cao, who had figured everything out, took a deep breath and said:

Now that King Yan has a complete plan, then~!

"Then I agree!"

When the Duke of Qi heard this, he immediately panicked, and then shouted excitedly:

"Queen Mother, no!"

"This son of King Yan has evil intentions. If he succeeds today, he will definitely rebel in the future...!"

"Come here, take him down!" Lin Hao said calmly.

······

After the court meeting, Lin Hao led his men to ransack the homes of Zhao Zongquan, Qi Guogong, and Liang Han, and all their family members were also arrested.

After a one-stop service, everyone was sent away. Of course, Lin Hao also left behind a few women who liked him!

Of course there are men, such as the Gu family at this time. Lin Hao talked to Gu Tingyu alone for a long time.

"You came!"

"I am coming!"

Then Lin Hao sat in front of Gu Tingyu and asked, "How was the investigation?"

"Cough cough cough~!" After Gu Tingyu coughed violently for a while, he said: "It is indeed as His Highness said, it was Xiao Qin who gave me the chronic poison!"

Then Gu Tingyu stood up first, then bowed respectfully to Lin Hao, and finally knelt down on one knee and said:

"If I were in good health, I would definitely repay His Highness your kindness, but unfortunately I am already extremely ill and the poison has penetrated deep into my internal organs. I am afraid I will not be able to repay His Highness King Yan's great kindness!"

However, Lin Hao did not help him up, but said:

"Gu Tingye betrayed our alliance and took refuge with Zhao Zongquan. You should know what this means!"

Of course Gu Tingyu knew what this meant. It meant that the Gu family's military influence would also turn to Zhao Zongquan, and it also meant that King Yan's foundation in the military was shaken!

At this time, Lin Hao grabbed Gu Tingyu's hand, and then used skills to give him one year of life.

Then Gu Tingyu, who was kneeling on the ground, was surprised to feel a life energy rapidly nourishing his body like a rotten tree.

"Your Highness~!"

Lin Hao patted Gu Tingyu on the shoulder and said:

"You should know that the emperor suddenly became young and gave birth to an heir!"

Gu Tingyu nodded and said, "I've heard that they seem to have found a panacea to restore youth or something!"

Then Gu Tingyu reacted and asked incredulously:

"Could it be that the late Emperor is like His Highness today?"

"If you are loyal to me, of course I will not leave you alone, and you and your wife are both fertile, and you will have your own son sooner or later in the future!"

"Now let's see whether you choose to be a loyal minister to the Song Dynasty and continue to be a marquis, or follow me and gain a longer life?"

At this time, Gu Tingyu felt that his body was gradually recovering, and he felt like he was alive. What else could he choose? What else could be more important than having his own heir!

So Gu Tingyu said to Lin Hao without hesitation:

"In this life, I, Gu Tingyu, will follow His Highness's lead and will never betray you! If you violate this oath, you will be punished by heaven, and the sky will thunder!"

"I've left a team of people for you, and I'll leave these people from Guhou Mansion to you!" Lin Hao then took out a piece of paper with an address and handed it to Gu Tingyu and said:

"Gu Tingye is in Shangqiu, you can take care of all this by yourself!"

Looking at Lin Hao who was gradually walking away, Gu Tingyu looked at the people imprisoned in the house, including Xiao Qin and his younger brother Gu Tingwei.

Then Gu Tingyu raised the short gun on the altar table...!

······

When Lin Hao returned to the British Palace, he went directly to the backyard.

At this time, Minglan was in a daze holding the British government's industrial catalog. She didn't notice Lin Hao's arrival and muttered:

"How come there are so many industries!"

"Soap, soap, ironware, grain, tea, salt, sugar, Treasure Pavilion...!"

When Xiao Tao and Dan Ju saw Lin Hao's arrival and were about to salute Lin Hao, they were stopped by Lin Hao's eyes.

Then Lin Hao quietly came behind Minglan and hugged her from behind.

"Yeah~"

Minglan was startled and was about to call for help, but when she saw Danju and Xiaotao shyly turning their heads to the other side, she immediately knew who it was.

After all, this is the British Duke's palace. Except for my own prince, Prince Yan, whoever dares to come to the Duke's palace to tease me is probably because he is tired of living!

"Guardian, no! These two girls are still looking at us!" Minglan was hugged by Lin Hao in front of everyone. Not to mention how shy Minglan was, especially because Lin Hao's hands were extremely dishonest.

Seeing Minglan's shy look, Lin Hao glared at Xiaotao and Danju, and then said:

"It's already like this, and you two can still stand watching it!"

Xiao Tao immediately covered her eyes with her hands, but her big eyes looked at Lin Hao through Zhang De's fingers and said:

"My lord, I can't see anything!"

This kind of thing has been with Lin Hao for a long time, and she and Dan Ju have long been immune to it. Hugging and hugging are nothing, Bai Rixuan's everything is just trivial!

On the side, Dan Jue blushed and covered her forehead, defeated by Xiao Tao's "innocence", so Dan Jue pulled Xiao Tao out of the door.

"You, you big bad guy... Uh-huh~!"
