The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 788 To Chengdu

Liu Cheng took Zhao Yongshen to the north, and after crossing the river for a day, he was discovered by the patrolling Yong army.

Then they were controlled, then disarmed, and continued to march towards Rongcheng under the escort of the Yong army.

Two days later, Liu Cheng and his party arrived in Rongcheng.

What he saw and heard in the past two days allowed Liu Cheng to see the strength of the Yong army and understand Yang Hongwen's painstaking efforts to change course.

After entering the city gate, Liu Cheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Brothers, if we don't surrender, I'm afraid it will be true to what the adults said, and we won't live until next month!"

Hearing this, all the soldiers nodded.

"Stop talking nonsense, the others are waiting outside, you and the rebels are entering the city!"

It was a general banner who said this, and he led No. 30 people under him to escort more than [-] people from Liu Cheng to Rongcheng.

Facing the scolding by the general flag, Liu Cheng's expression did not change at all, and he immediately replied: "Yes!"

Then Liu Cheng asked the others to stay. He took Zhao Yongshen and followed the general flag to the city.

Entering the city and looking at the pedestrians on the street, Liu Cheng once thought he was wrong.

Is this what it should look like after a war?

Seeing Liu Cheng's surprise, the general flag next to him said: "Today, the thief's head was beheaded and the people were allowed to watch, so there are more pedestrians on the street!"

"Behead the thief?" Liu Cheng looked puzzled.

"Shu County's envoy Li Jinzhong, plus the other two counties' civil and military officials, there are about 30 people. Would you like to go and see?"

Li Jinzhong and other high-ranking officials will be beheaded. Hearing the news, Liu Cheng felt his back go cold, and at the same time, he felt sad.

"There are still things to do right now, let's go see your general first!"

Hearing this, the General Banner didn't insist, so he took Liu Cheng and the two on their way.

But when they arrived at the Yamen, they learned that several commanders were at the execution ground, so they could only wait in peace.

In the east of Rongcheng, in a large open space, there is a temporary platform in the middle, and the platform is crowded with people.

Among these people, the people on the outside are all the people in the city, and the inside are the dignitaries in the city who have not been implicated, as well as the middle and lower officials who have surrendered.

Forty or so people kneeled on the stage. These people were dressed in rags, and they were obviously arrested and tortured.

In front of Gaotai, there are three chairs, which are prepared for the three commanders.

The crowd kept discussing, until the sound of the drums, the scene was quieted down.

Immediately thereafter, a large number of soldiers came, and they escorted the three commanders to drive away the crowd blocking the way.

When they arrived at the execution ground, the three got off their horses and walked to the stage.

Wang Baozhen followed behind the three of them. He was holding a document in his hand at this moment, and his face looked extremely stern.

After Chen Yu and the three of them were seated, they signaled to Wang Baozhen that they could start.

So Wang Baozhen walked forward, and under the gaze of everyone, he opened the Chinese book in his hand.

"Silence, silence..."

Under the scolding of the soldiers, the scene completely fell silent.

"The regent's order..."

"Li Jinzhong and other 43 people gathered troops to conspire against each other. Their crimes should be punished and beheaded immediately. His family members..."

Wang Baozhen read it aloud, and the people below were only surprised, or felt relieved, after all, people like Li Jinzhong have harmed many people.

The dignitaries near the front row felt panic and fear, and they were also afraid of ending up like this.

Soon after the edict was read, Wang Baozhen put away the document, then turned around and stepped aside.

After he turned around, he met Li Jinzhong's eyes, with despair in one eye and helplessness in the other.

At this time, Chen Yuhe's voice came from the high platform: "Execution!"

The prisoners were extremely terrified at the moment, but they were tied tightly, and their hands and feet were tied, so they couldn't do anything.

The soldiers began to carry out the execution, and the heads were cut off one after another, and the onlookers at the scene exclaimed again and again.

"My lord, there is a report from the yamen, saying that the people from Lingbei Dusi have asked to see him, saying that they have captured King Ning alive and offered them up!"

Hearing the report, Chen Yu and the three of them were attracted.

"Prince Ning? Seriously?"

Just as Chen Yuhe finished talking about the flowers, Ding Hong interrupted: "Whether he is true or not, go and have a look first!"

Zheng Fan followed up and said: This is very good! ""

Although Chen Yuhe thought the same way, he said, "Don't worry about it for a while, I'd better leave after chopping!"

The other two looked at each other and said nothing more.

Soon after the execution was over, Chen Yu and the three left immediately, and then someone cleaned up the mess.

Soon, the three of them returned to the Yamen and met Liu Cheng in the lobby.

In the lobby, Chen Yu and the three of them were at the top, watching Liu Cheng enter the door cautiously.

"Meet some generals!" Liu Cheng was very polite.

Now that he has something to ask for from others, he naturally knows how to lower his profile. Face is never important.

"Who are you?" Chen Yuhe asked.

"In Xialingbei, Commander Liu Cheng, commander of the capital, under the order of Yang Hongwen, the commander of the capital, captured the king Ning who committed the rebellion and sent him to His Royal Highness King Yong for punishment!"

Hearing this, Chen Yuhe asked again: "I remember that you Lingbei Dusi rebelled with King Ning, how did you capture King Ning again?"

"It means that you made King Ning's crime again?"

It can be said that Chen Yuhe's remarks did not save Lingbei Dusi any face.

Although what the other party said was the truth, how could Liu Cheng admit it at this moment.

"The general is joking, my Lingbei capital is loyal to the imperial court, how can I join forces with King Ning!"

"His Royal Highness King Yong is now in charge of the court, and I, Lingbei Metropolitan, consider myself a loyal dog of His Royal Highness Yong. King Ning does not respect His Royal Highness... We will naturally take him!"

After hearing these words, Chen Yu and the three of them all laughed.

Suppressing his smile, Chen Yuhe said with a stern expression: "You are loyal or traitor, what we say doesn't count, and what you say doesn't matter!"

"Everything... the prince has his own decision!"

These words made Liu Cheng panic. He thought that offering King Ning would guarantee his safety, but he didn't know that Yong Jun didn't think much of him at all.

But thinking about it carefully, Liu Cheng also understood why this was the case.

The Yong army is strong, and the five counties in the south are weak scum in the eyes of others. It is normal to look down on them.

"I would also like to invite some generals to report to the prince. Not only my capital in Lingbei, but also the two capitals in Jiangxi and South China Sea are also ordered by the prince. They are willing to wipe out those who are not ministers for the prince!"

Seeing that Liu Cheng wanted to say more, Chen Yuhe said, "Got it, go down!"

So Liu Cheng could only stop, turned and left the hall.

"Bring King Ning up!"

After giving this order, Chen Yuhe said to the two people on the left and right: "I guess, if this news is passed back, Xu Hong and the others may die of anger!"

Several guards including Xu Hong have been fighting hard after being upgraded, hoping to fight to the south to earn military merits.

But if the south is automatically pacified, they will be useless, and it is normal to be unhappy.

Ding Hong spread his hands and said helplessly, "Is there anything I can do, I can't kill people even if they surrender!"

While the three were chatting, King Ning, who was tied up, was brought to him.

After two days of thinking, Zhao Yongshen has already figured out a way to survive, and he will push the crime to the gentry.

He was forced to rebel, he was innocent, and he was willing to surrender to Zhao Yanxun...

Zhao Yongshen thought of the perfect speech, but Chen Yu and the three of them didn't ask him at all. His mouth was gagged from the beginning to the end, and he didn't even have a chance to speak.

The three commented on him, confirmed that he was Queen Ning, and asked someone to take him away.

This action made Zhao Yongshen very angry again, and he has never had a good time in the past few days.

Of course, while feeling angry, Zhao Yongshen's hope disappeared, and he fell into fear and despair again.
