The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 596
(Everyone, if you have a monthly pass, you can vote!)

Cui Xing'an quickly knelt down, kowtowed and prepared to accept the order.

Liu Jinghui glanced at the three of Pang Guoxing, who were still standing in place at the moment.

"Your Majesty ordered, why don't you kneel?" Liu Jinghui scolded in a cold voice.

Even though he is a scholar, Liu Jinghui has gained a lot of power in the past two years of being in charge of the prefectural and county yamen.

This reprimand was so upright that Cai Yongkun and the others did not dare to take it lightly.

"King Yong is canonized by the emperor, and we are ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty, so we should kneel down and worship King Yong!"

Pang Guoxing found a reason for himself, and knelt on the ground after saying this.

After thinking about it, this is indeed the case, and Cai Yongkun also knelt down. After all, they are still the defeated generals.

Seeing that Zhou Qing was still standing, Cai Yongkun persuaded, "Old Zhou, for the survival of the brothers, it's okay for us to be wronged a little bit!"

Zhou Qingyi remained motionless. Surrendering to the enemy had already made him very uncomfortable. Kneeling to the enemy again... was extremely difficult for him to accept.

"Old Zhou, those who know the current affairs are heroes, what are you doing... Kneel down!" Pang Guoxing also persuaded.

At this moment, Liu Jinghui's anger was also welling up.

Liu Jinghui, as a parent officer, was naturally angry when these forbidden troops went to Tianjinwei to cause chaos and harm the people under his rule.

His Royal Highness Yong forgives the crimes of these people, but they don't appreciate it, which makes Liu Jinghui even more angry.

Just when Liu Jinghui wanted to accuse Zhou Qing'an of "disrespect" and instructed Cui Xing'an to take him down, Cai Yongkun and Pang Guo had already done it themselves, pushing Zhou Qing to the ground and kneeling.

"Kneel well... General of the defeated army, who are you showing your arrogance here?" Cai Yongkun yelled loudly, this was the first time he lost his temper.

Zhou Qing wanted to defend himself, but thinking that Cai Yongkun was right, he stopped talking.

Seeing this situation, Liu Jinghui felt very sorry, so he could only spread out the official document and read aloud: "The imperial edict..."

"The Forbidden Army is the wings of the country, and it is a great achievement to guard the border and reject the barbarians..."

"If a disaster strikes today, you will be trapped in the frontier, without relatives, lack of clothing and food... I am very worried!"

"In order to solve your urgent needs, Gu has collected food, grass and clothes in Longyou, and sent people to Beidi County to discuss with you about receiving supplies..."

After reading this, Liu Jinghui's tone became stern and said: "With a sincere heart, you will avenge your kindness and go south to attack me... Let me ask you, are you still my minister of the Jin Dynasty? Is your heart a snake, a scorpion, a wolf? "

There is no arrogance of the victor, only the accusation of righteous words.

The majestic prince, who has a strong army under his command, feels greatly wronged at the moment of the imperial edict.

So much so that the three of Zhou Qing felt that they really seemed to be a bastard who would repay kindness and revenge, and who didn't know good people's hearts.

After a pause, Liu Jinghui continued to read: "If you still have half a conscience, you should have the heart to abandon the dark and turn to the light at this time..."

Hearing this, the hearts of all three moved, knowing that things had turned for the better.

I only heard Liu Jinghui continue to read: "I know that you are being bullied by others. The one who started the war is Long Zhiwei Xu Longsheng. This man is ambitious and has the heart of rebelling against the imperial court. He is really heinous..."

"All the disasters here are caused by Thief Xu. As long as you tell the imperial guards under your command to clear up the misunderstanding and resentment of the sergeants, then your sins can be eliminated!"

After reading this, the content of the edict has been read out, and Liu Jinghui put away the edict.

"His Highness is generous, you still don't accept the imperial edict?"

Facing Liu Jinghui's questioning, the thoughts of the three people on the ground were racing.

The imperial edict has made it very clear that the responsibility for this war has been put on Xu Longsheng's head, and they are required to tell the imperial guards in person.

They have led the soldiers for many years, and the soldiers will believe everything they say, and the misunderstanding will be resolved by then.

As long as they figured this out, the three of Pang Guoxing could be sure that as long as they did what King Yong wanted, at least their lives could be saved.

If the three of them were killed, who would endorse Xu Longsheng's guilt?

Just listen to Pang Guoxing kowtow: "Your Highness is benevolent, I accept the imperial edict!"

Gritting his teeth, Cai Yongkun kowtowed and kowtowed while pushing Zhou Qing to the ground.

Looking at the three people kowtowing on the ground, Liu Jinghui continued: "Your Highness said, if the three of you repent in time, there will be medicine to save you... After the matter here is over, you should return to Yuanyang as soon as possible, the Privy Council has another appointment!"

Privy Council?Where is this place, Pang Guoxing and the three were confused.

If he hadn't accepted the imperial edict just now, he probably wouldn't have gone to the Privy Council, and his head might have fallen... Pang Guoxing secretly thought.

At this time, Cui Xing'an reminded from the side: "Three, accept the edict!"

Pang Guoxing got up first, came to Liu Jinghui, and took the edict with his hands up.

"Three...since the edict has been accepted, there is no need to delay, let's go now!"

"I will be ordered by His Highness to go with the three of you!"

At this moment, Cui Xing'an greeted them, and said to Pang Guoxing and the others: "Three... the prince loves you so much, I really envy you!"

"Since the prince is ordered, you should hurry up and take Liu Zhifu there!"

Pang Guoxing put away the edict, then looked at Cai Yongkun and the two and said, "How are you two?"

Zhuangzi's soldiers are under the command of Cai Yongkun and Zhou Qing, and they can handle this matter.

I only heard Cai Yongkun say: "Your Highness is magnanimous, and is willing to give brothers a way of life. I should be grateful!"

The words were meant for Zhou Qing, to make him understand that right now it was for the sake of making a living for his brothers.

Seeing that Zhou Qing's expression was relaxed, Cai Yongkun turned to Liu Jinghui and said: "I am stupid, I was deceived by Xu Longsheng, and made a big mistake. Thanks to your magnanimity, I just forgive my mistakes!"

"Lord Liu, don't worry, I will follow His Highness's order!"

Liu Jinghui said coldly: "No matter how much you talk, it's better to do it yourself!"

"Master Liu said..."

"Let's go!"

"Master Liu, please!"

So the four of them got on their horses and drove towards Zhuangzi again.

On the way, looking at Liu Jinghui next to him, Zhou Qing said coldly: "Prefect Liu, if you go with us to Zhuangzi, you won't be afraid that the soldiers will mutiny and say you eat them alive?"

This is which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted. Hearing this, Cai Yongkun gave Zhou Qing a look, but the latter looked indifferent.

"If you want to kill me, someone will come to kill you..."

With a calm expression on his face, Liu Jinghui showed no fear: "It's not a loss at all for my life to be exchanged for the lives of thousands of you!"

Not frightening Liu Jinghui, Zhou Qing felt blocked for a moment, and the two frail scholars dared to talk to him.

"But in the end you have to die, and it's a terrible death. It's a horrible phenomenon in the world to eat it alive..."

Before Zhou Qing could finish speaking, Liu Jinghui interjected: "If you can die loyally for His Highness, you deserve to die!"

Your Highness, Your Highness...Longyou never left these two words. Could it be that King Yong was really a god?

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing felt blocked, so he simply stopped talking. After all, he couldn't really kill Liu Jinghui.

Soon, they arrived outside Zhuangzi.

At this moment, the soldiers in the village are waiting for the news boredly, worrying about the future in their hearts.

"The Commander is back..."

Hearing this shout, the quiet Zhuangzi suddenly became agitated. Fortunately, there were officers to restrain him, so there was no chaos.
