Chapter 379: Clear out the emperor’s side and kill the corrupt officials!
Feng Hanyue spoke softly.
Xu Ximeng nodded and walked side by side with Feng Hanyue.
Feng Yuchen and Xiao Qingxuan Jun Zimo were holding hands next to him.
"Mom, I want to go to my aunt's house to play."
Xu Ximeng touched her belly, looked at her son with eyes full of longing, and Feng Hanyue spoke gently.
"Sister-in-law, take Yuchen to my place and sit for a while. If the children like to play together, let them play."
So a few of them walked towards Feng Hanyue's residence.
Along the way, the atmosphere between the two was average, but the children were actually okay.
Maybe it was because Jun Linghan was away for a long time, and the two children thought it was normal for their father to be away for a long time. Little Qingxuan excitedly chattered about the interesting things he had seen recently, Jun Zimo occasionally added a few words, and Feng Yuchen happily shared his interesting experiences in the Xu Mansion. For a while, the atmosphere seemed to be a lot more lively and relaxed.
After arriving at the residence, Feng Hanyue ordered the servants to prepare some snacks and tea.
The three children immediately ran to the side and started playing.
Xu Ximeng sat down gently, and Feng Hanyue asked with concern,
"Is the baby in my sister-in-law's belly safe and sound lately?"
After saying that, Xu Ximeng smiled and stretched out her hand.
Feng Hanyue took his pulse and said after a moment,
"The fetus's pulse is steady and strong, and both mother and child are healthy."
After hearing this, Xu Ximeng smiled and said,
"The child is very well behaved, Yueyue, don't worry."
Xu Ximeng and her son had lunch at Feng Hanyue's place and returned to the Xu family in the afternoon.
On the other side, Jun Linghan led a large army including Feng Hansong, Feng Hanbai and Xie Wenxun and marched directly to Linxiang City.
Because of Jun Linghan's prestige and reputation for treating the people well, Wang Chongxi, the lord of Linxiang City, simply opened the city gate and surrendered!
This made the newly appointed Emperor Linxian furious!
"Cut him! Cut him!"
"How dare they! How dare they!"
The ministers who were kneeling on the ground below all shouted,
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Emperor Linxian was very angry. The national treasury was empty and he had suffered a series of defeats. In the north, King Jun Linghan was eyeing him covetously, and in the south, the rebel forces were emerging one after another, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Especially that Huang Sheng!
It is said that they have now captured a lot of territory, and wherever they go, they burn, kill, and loot, and kill with a list of names in hand!
"Ministers, what countermeasures do you have against the uprising forces in various places?"
Looking at the ministers below, they still had to come up with a complete solution.
Minister of Rites Zhou Fuli said, "Your Majesty, why not offer us amnesty?"
"Then we will negotiate with the War King."
The countermeasures proposed by Minister Zhou were immediately opposed by others.
Marquis Cheng'en always wins. "The War King is ambitious and has been plotting evil since the last emperor was alive. Now he's waving the banner of clearing the court of corrupt officials. Do you think peace talks will succeed? Who should we send? How should we negotiate? Will we give him the entire north?"
"Did you know that all the cities along the way have opened their gates to welcome His Majesty the War King? They are now advancing like a broken bamboo and are about to enter the capital!"
"Only a decisive battle can resolve this situation!"
The Minister of Revenue said, "Your Majesty, the treasury is empty and there is no more money!"
He immediately lowered his head upon hearing this.
To describe the current national treasury as empty is a good way of putting it. In reality, they don’t even know where their next month’s salary will come from!
Hey……
A group of ministers were arguing with each other and no one could convince anyone else!
Finally, Emperor Linxian shouted,
"Who will lead this decisive battle?"
In an instant, the entire hall was as quiet as a chicken.
………………
Soon, Jun Linghan and his army arrived in Yangcheng!
After Yangcheng is the capital!
At this moment, the enemy is at the gate of the city. The soldiers in Yangcheng are on high alert and they must not open the city gate!
An imperial decree has been issued from above, and elite troops have been dispatched. Yangcheng is now under the command of Commander Wang. Anyone who dares to open the city gate will be executed along with his entire clan!
Everyone knew that wherever Jun Linghan passed, officials along the way would greet him at the city gate, but they did not expect them to arrive in Yangcheng so soon.
"Lord Zhan, Lord Feng, General Xie, please do not make the same mistake. Turn back and lay down your weapons. The emperor is magnanimous and will forgive you."
Jun Linghan sneered and looked at the soldiers behind him and asked loudly,
"Soldiers, are you going to lay down your weapons?"
"do not want!"
"do not want!"
"do not want!"
"Clear the emperor's side and kill the corrupt officials!"
"Clear the emperor's side and kill the corrupt officials!"
"Clear the emperor's side and kill the corrupt officials!"
Jun Linghan raised his hand, and the soldiers fell silent. He looked at Commander Wang on the city wall and shouted,
"Commander Wang, open the city gates quickly! We will never harm the civilians! Don't be stubborn and let innocent soldiers sacrifice their lives! Open the city gates quickly!"
