Chapter 21 Calm down
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Shen Changfeng, the general of the Northern Army, has been put to death. Most of the Northern Army has surrendered, and the stubborn resisters have basically been wiped out!"

"Very good!" Listening to Yan Yingyuan's report with a tired face, Zhao Yuan couldn't help showing a relaxed smile.As soon as Shen Yuan died, it was true that the northern army had no fighting spirit, and the riots caused by the northern army were quickly suppressed.The depression that has lingered in my heart for so long has finally been resolved satisfactorily.

"General Yan, you immediately lead people to blockade the entire capital. Now that the capital is in chaos, it is hard to guarantee that some criminals will not take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and disturb the law and order of the capital. What's more, the stragglers of the Northern Army will inevitably pose a threat to the law and order of the capital. !"

"General Yan, I will give you this right. Anyone who dares to commit crimes will be taken regardless of their status, and anyone who resists will be shot!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

"As for you?" Looking at the trembling ministers kneeling on the ground, Zhao Yuan's murderous look flashed away.These people have absolutely no moral integrity at all, and today's integrity has dropped all over the place, and none of them can be used!

"Alas!" Zhao Yuan secretly clenched his fists, but finally he sighed softly and slowly let go.If I didn't have anyone available, I really wished I could clean them all out.However, these people cannot be killed for the time being. The current Dazheng Kingdom still needs them to run.But when the day comes, I will have enough manpower, hum.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are loyal to His Majesty. They were deceived and coerced by Shen Yuan before making big mistakes. I hope Your Majesty will see clearly!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, Shen Yuan is very powerful, and he has powerful soldiers in his hands. The ministers are just making false claims with him for the time being, and when the time is right, they will fight back to help His Majesty. Your Majesty, the ministers have worked hard, please return." His Majesty is aware!"

"Enough!" Hearing the low-pitched excuses one after another, Zhao Yuan only had deep disgust in his heart, but there was still a gentle smile on his face, "Don't worry, today I will only punish the evil one, and the rest will be punished." Don't pursue it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads, the ministers who had been kneeling in the court for a long time finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave each other a wry smile.Then he looked at Zhao Yuan carefully and quickly nodded.

"My lords, you have worked hard!" Zhao Yuan said loudly, looking at the veterans who still had lingering fears, "Come on, let's take a seat. My lords are getting old. In the future, when my lords go to court, just sit down." !"

"I thank you, Your Majesty!" They bowed respectfully to Zhao Yuan. The eyes of several people looking at Zhao Yuan revealed an inexplicable meaning: "Your Majesty has foresight and foresight, and now he has killed all these treacherous and sycophantic people in one fell swoop, which is quite like the style of the late emperor!"

"Yes, if the late emperor could see His Majesty's current appearance, he would be able to smile at Jiuquan. Even if I really die here today, under Jiuquan, I will have the face to meet the late emperor!"

"Okay, the adults will live a long life. The future will be long, and I want the adults to work harder to expand the territory of our Dazheng Kingdom!"

"Your Majesty has such ambitions. Although we are old and feeble, we are still willing to serve His Majesty and expand the territory of the Taizheng Kingdom!"

"Yeah!" Nodding in satisfaction, Zhao Yuan generally understood after questioning at this time that these old courtiers followed the late emperor, that is, the old courtiers of his father who expanded the territory, and all of them had some skills .

When the Dazheng Kingdom was founded, it only had a territory of one and a half counties. Even in this southeastern borderland, it was a small country that couldn't be smaller. It was an existence that everyone wanted to annex.

Later, his grandfather, the founding emperor, disappeared inexplicably.The little emperor, who was only nine years old, succeeded to the throne. Not to mention that the country is small and the people are few, the emperor is a child, so don't bully him and bully anyone.Neighboring countries are even more eye-catching, and the situation is too dangerous at once.

But in such an environment, his royal father forcibly survived. At the age of 13, he started to fight on the battlefield and made a great reputation.Today, Dazheng Kingdom governs six counties and 69 towns, almost all of which were brought down by his father.It's just a pity that after many years of fighting and overwork, he died in his 40s.

Later, after Zhao Yuan ascended the throne at the age of 11, he was far from being as wise and powerful as his father, and he was almost played like a puppet.The originally high-spirited and upward momentum of the Dazheng Kingdom suddenly weakened, and all of these veterans were extremely disappointed.

Moreover, it coincided with Shen Yuan's rise to power, and his power reached the peak.Even in conjunction with Zhang Yuan, Wang Yu used various schemes to kick these old officials away one by one, or demoted them into petty officials.Even so, the power of the three of them did not dare to kill these old courtiers easily.Although these people are old, they still have great authority in the court and in the entire Dazheng Kingdom.

If it wasn't for Shen Yuan thinking that he had completely controlled the situation and wanted to use these people as a prestige, otherwise he wouldn't really be the killer.And it seemed that Zhao Yuan's performance today made them, the veterans, extremely satisfied.

"Your Majesty, General Fang Wenyuan of Dayong Guan Zhaoyuan and General Feng Mingshan of Great Victory Guan Qingyuan are coming here with an army, please Your Majesty order to condemn them to return to the station!"

Now that the capital has not completely settled down, Zhao Yuan is also determined not to completely solve these Manchu civil and military affairs and not let them go home.It doesn't seem like a big deal for a group of people to stand here and do this. Someone thought of it while they were bored.

Although the general Zhang Yuan died, his two generals led the army and were still rushing to the capital.Calculating the time, it will arrive in two or three days.Although seriously speaking, Zhang Yuan was killed by Shen Yuan.But if these two people are brain-dead, the consequences will be disastrous.Suddenly, an inexplicable atmosphere spread in the hall.

"Leading a large army into Beijing without an edict, these two people are clearly planning to commit crimes!" At this time, another person stood up and said loudly, "I implore your majesty to take Fang Wenyuan and Feng Mingshan down for questioning, so that you can show your majesty's reputation and make others Those with evil intentions dare not move lightly!"

"Presumptuous!" He couldn't help snorting coldly, and Zhao Yuan's face darkened instantly.He also doesn't know whether this person is intentional or unintentional, doesn't he know that he just got rid of Zhang Yuan and Shen Yuan, if he immediately attacked their subordinates, what would other people think.

You know, Fang Wenyuan and Feng Mingshan have nearly [-] troops under their command, isn't this forcing them to rebel.In desperation, even if they will not raise the flag to rebel, if they switch to another country, Dazheng Kingdom will suffer heavy losses.Today's Dazheng Kingdom has just experienced a revolution, but it can't stand the toss.

"The two generals are loyal to the Dazheng Kingdom. I know very well in my heart that the two of them led the troops here because they heard that the capital city government came to protect me!" Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yuan said helplessly, " Now that the riots in the capital have subsided, let's issue an edict to order the two to return to the station. Although the two generals have not made any meritorious service, they have worked hard, so let's do it!"

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yuan then said, "General Fang Wenyuan of Zhaoyuan was named General Huwei, and General Feng Mingshan of Qingyuan was named General Xuanwei. Each will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver. Order each to allocate one hundred thousand taels of silver to reward the whole army!"

"Your Majesty can't do it. Not only will His Majesty refuse to punish such a rebellious behavior, but he will reward him generously. If things go on like this, I'm afraid...!"

"Presumptuous, you can judge the important generals of the country at will!" An angry shout interrupted the man's words, and Zhao Yuan said coldly, "Are you questioning my decision?"

"Chen, I don't dare!" Hearing Zhao Yuan's angry shout, the man trembled immediately, and cold sweat immediately flowed down.I almost overlooked it, but this person has just washed blood here, and it is the time when the murderous nature is at its peak.If you make a mistake at this time, if you make him unhappy, you can directly put off the hat of rebellion, and you will be dragged down and cut down in an instant, and you will not even be given a chance to complain.

"I'm not discussing with you, but decree, you just have to do it!"

"I will obey your orders!"

"Well, your Majesty has really grown up and knows how to judge the situation!" Looking at Zhao Yuan's performance in the court, several old ministers below nodded in unison, "Your Majesty, now is the time of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the chaos in the country has subsided. The country only needs to recuperate for a period of time before it can return to its peak. And His Majesty is so wise, as long as he does not die prematurely, the Great Zheng Kingdom will definitely dominate in the future!"

"Well!" Several veterans here smiled at each other, and then one of them said, "His Majesty will definitely make big moves next. It is when manpower is needed. It seems it is time to let us old guys come back. !”
