Chapter 303: The Slaughterer's wrath, blood flowing like a river
Qin Zheng took the imperial sword with both hands, his face solemn, facing all the soldiers, and shouted: "Your Majesty's oral order!"
Everyone on and off the stage quickly knelt on the ground, chanting, "Long live the emperor!"
Liang Heng was extremely nervous. If the empress really wanted to kill him, even if the time was not yet ripe, he would have no choice but to rebel.
Qin Zheng said, "Your Majesty has given this order. The soldiers at the border are brave and skilled in battle, loyal to their country. You are the heaven of our Daqian Dynasty! I have appointed Qin Zheng to represent me. If I were to come in person, on behalf of the millions of people of Daqian, I would pay tribute to all the soldiers at the border. I would offer a sacrifice to the heavens and thank them for their bravery and fearlessness in defending our country!"
The entire military school was in an uproar!
That is His Majesty, that is a great ceremony to offer sacrifice to heaven.
They shed blood and sacrificed their lives to defend their country, but how could they be worthy of the emperor's worship, let alone the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.
The words "You are the sky of the Daqian Dynasty" moved all the iron-blooded soldiers and brought tears to their eyes.
"Your Majesty, this is serious!"
"It is the duty of every citizen to defend our country. This is what we should do!"
"We are also the people of Daqian. Your Majesty has such a heart, and I will die with no regrets!"
"Your Majesty, please withdraw your order!"
"I can't bear the wait!"
Finally, they all said in unison: "Your Majesty, please withdraw your order!"
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers crawled on the ground!
Liang Heng was dumbfounded.
Xia Bitu opened his mouth in amazement.
However, Qin Zheng fell to his knees and began to kowtow three times and nine times.
Suddenly, there was a cry of pain from the audience, followed by a chorus of crying.
The soldiers in the audience returned the greeting while crying!
This is the art of being an emperor. As an emperor who is high above everyone else, you don't need to pay anything. Just one word or one action is enough to win people's hearts and make them willing to swear allegiance to you until death!
"Your Majesty is wise! Wuuuuu..." Xia Bitu, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly burst into tears, tears streaming down his face. He prostrated himself on the ground, crying as if he was going to faint.
Qin Zheng said solemnly: "..."
His plan was almost interrupted by the old fox.
He knew that the old fox had anticipated what he was going to do next.
The old fox is afraid of being cheated to death!
The old fox was not moved by the oral instructions. He was crying in front of him, meaning, please spare my life!
Qin Zheng really wanted to kill the old fox today.
Because he was angry!
He didn't expect the top management to compromise.
This was not in his plan at all and was beyond his expectation.
What he was about to do was very important. It could be said that he had been planning it for many, many years!
However, that secret letter was written by the Boundless Palace's Envoy. That was the Envoy's decision!
The Boundless Palace has many departments like the Five Elements Sect, and each has its own superior, the Palace Envoy, who is also a member of the Boundless Palace's Elders Council.
Although Qin Zheng didn't know what was going on, he couldn't obey this order. Otherwise, if he let the King of the Western Territory go, the Five Elements Sect would not be able to control any party in the future.
The Five Elements Sect cannot afford this consequence!
There was no way he would let the Five Elements Sect suffer such a huge loss!
Qin Zheng ignored Xia Bitu, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and stood up.
Said: "Your Majesty has another oral instruction."
Xia Bitu stopped crying immediately and looked at Qin Zheng in horror. His whole body was soaked with cold sweat. Qin Zheng's real killer move was coming!
He didn't know whether Qin Zheng could let him go.
Although this is the Western Border military camp, although he has Uncle Nan by his side, and although he has people in the Western Border Army, he has no confidence that he can withstand the terrifying Qin Zheng's killing move.
Liang Heng's face looked ugly and his eyes were vicious at this moment.
Qin Zheng actually dared to disobey the order of the palace envoy?
As long as Qin Zheng dared to kill him, he would not care about the decision of the forces behind him and would definitely fight back. At worst, he would die together with Qin Zheng.
Liang Heng is not someone who would suffer from bullying.
A soldier can be killed but will never live in disgrace!
Qin Zheng's expression was calm as he continued, "Although the imperial court allocates tens of millions of taels of silver to the Western Border Army every year to reward the soldiers at the border, I still feel uneasy..."
Liang Heng's face changed drastically.
The soldiers below the stage were stunned!
They are allocated so much silver every year, how come they don’t get even a penny?
Xia Bitu's body trembled. Qin Zheng, how cruel! Liang Heng was finished.
Liang Heng's greatest reliance is the millions of soldiers in the four border areas.
Qin Zheng removed this fig leaf, and Liang Heng, the commander, lost the trust of his million-strong army.
Liang Heng is finished!
Xia Bitu knew that Qin Zheng was not lying.
The imperial court did allocate this much silver every year, plus food, fodder, and military equipment, and it was more than that.
But they were all embezzled.
It is obvious who it is.
This is a secret. The court knows it, and the empress knows it, but they dare not say it out loud, because once it is announced, the border troops will be in chaos.
But very few people know that corruption among the high-ranking officials of the Four Realms Army is only a part of the money, while most of it is taken away by the patron saints.
Qin Zheng's announcement ruined not only Liang Heng but also other border kings' images and reputations in the border army.
Unless there is an excuse that is convincing enough, or the withheld military pay is paid back, and the border king has to resign from his post, the anger of the soldiers can be calmed down.
Otherwise, there will be civil unrest.
There was great civil strife, civil strife on all sides.
It’s still a terrifying war!
Isn’t Qin Zheng afraid that the empress won’t be able to control the development of the situation?
Could it be that Qin Zheng could control it?
There was another point that he didn't understand. Qin Zheng actually dared to disobey the orders of his superiors and refused to agree to peace!
At this moment, Brother Lian, the God of War, behind Liang Heng stood still, but his expression was extremely serious!
Wu Xiaoyou tensed up, ready for a fatal strike!
Uncle Nan was also prepared to protect the adults.
Liang Heng's body trembled slightly again, and his hand had already grasped the spear.
Qin Zheng didn't wait for the audience to riot and quickly said, "But these rewards have not been distributed to the soldiers. I have found out that someone reported it and pocketed it!"
Suddenly, Qin Zheng shouted: "Capture Liang Heng and the others!"
In an instant, something strange happened on and off the stage.
Suddenly, countless figures rose up from the audience, swords flashed and shadows clashed. Screams rang out, blood spurted out, and heads rolled down the stage!
In an instant, the wind suddenly stopped!
More than 10,000 people were beheaded.
There were more than ten thousand people who took action.
At this moment, the soldiers who had taken action stood solemnly beside the corpse, their murderous intent undiminished.
On the stage, Liang Heng's face turned pale and he dared not move.
Because, there was a sword shining with cold light hanging around his neck.
It was not Wu Xiaoyou who took action, but Fang Hao who was beside Liang Heng!
