Quickly wear a child: The heirless bosses love me like their life

Chapter 40 The Black Emperor Suffering from Mania (40)

When Xiao Yunzheng heard that it was Xu Wenyan who spared Jiang Dai, his eyes dimmed slightly.

He knew that Xu Wenyan was Jiang Dai's ex-fiancé, and he also knew that Xu Wenyan later gave up Jiang Dai and chose Bai Chuxin, but now it seems that he obviously still has feelings for Jiang Dai.

However, Xiao Yunzheng was not angry, but rather felt somewhat fortunate.

If it wasn't Xu Wenyan who came today, Ruo Ruo and the child would be in danger...

Xiao Yunzheng promised, "Since he let you go, I will deal with the Xu family as appropriate."

Jiang Dai didn't care much and said:

"Just deal with it as it should be dealt with. Your Majesty, there is no need to be partial."

Xiao Yunzheng curled his lips into a smile, and the trace of depression in his heart instantly dissipated.

What if Xu Wenyan still has feelings for Ruoruo? The one Ruoruo likes and cares about now is him!

"I understand."

"Ruoruo, you take a rest first. I will go and deal with the captured rebels one by one."

Xiao Yunzheng touched Jiang Dai's hair, kissed her forehead, and then walked out of the bedroom.

Lu Nong and Mu Yun knelt down and accepted the punishment.

"I failed to protect the queen, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yunzheng curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, his eyes gloomy.

"Since Ruo Ruo likes you two very much, I will forgive you this time, but if something like this happens again, you... just commit suicide."

Lu Nong and Mu Yun kowtowed quickly.

"Thank you for sparing my life, Your Majesty. We two subordinates will definitely use our lives to protect your safety in the future!"

But Xiao Yunzheng doesn’t think that the lives of both of them are comparable to Jiang Dai’s.

After leaving behind several secret guards who had been transferred away to protect Jiang Dai, Xiao Yunzheng left.

In fact, the matter has been almost dealt with.

Li Botao, whose rebellion failed, drew his sword and committed suicide. The rest of them all surrendered and were taken to Tianlao, waiting to be liquidated and either beheaded or exiled.

However, Du Cha Le, relying on his status as an envoy of Liao, wanted to slip away as if nothing had happened, but he was captured by Xiao Yunzheng's men and imprisoned in the posthouse.

"Emperor Xiao, we are only here to attend the wedding banquet. Now that the banquet is over, we should also return to Liao. I wonder when Emperor Xiao will be willing to let us go?"

Inside the inn, seeing Xiao Yunzheng appear, Du Cha Le immediately stood up and asked him.

Xiao Yunzheng's eyes were as cold as ice.

"No hurry. I changed my mind temporarily and am willing to give Liao some more food. I am preparing it now."

"Once everything is ready, I will send someone to deliver the food to Liao in person."

As for the fact that it was 100,000 soldiers who transported the food, and that the food was also military rations for the soldiers to attack the Liao Kingdom, there was no need for Xiao Yunzheng to tell Du Cha Le.

Du Cha Le didn't understand what Xiao Yunzheng was up to and subconsciously refused.

"No, we can deliver it ourselves..."

But Xiao Yunzheng didn't give him the chance to refuse. He asked Du Cha Le to continue waiting and be patient, then turned around and left.

Just after getting out of the Heavenly Prison, the people who were sent to the Xu family to capture Magatama came back.

"Reporting to your majesty, half an incense stick ago, a fire broke out in the mansion of Marquis Xuanping. Marquis Xuanping was buried in the sea of ​​fire on the spot. Although Princess Gouyu survived by chance, her face was disfigured."

"The other women and children in the mansion are all safe and sound, they were just a little frightened."

"A servant saw it with his own eyes. It was Xu Wenyan, the son of the Marquis of Xuanping, who set the fire himself."

"My subordinates followed the trail and found no trace of the Marquis Xuanping's son."

Xiao Yunzheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"No need to look for him. Since he has chosen to abandon his status as the Prince of Xuanping Marquis, I will grant his wish."

"Secretly lock Gouyu in the Heavenly Prison and announce to the public that Marquis Xuanping, his son, and Princess Gouyu were all burned to death, with no remains left."

The subordinate bowed his head and said, "As you command!"

Afterwards, Xiao Yunzheng went straight to the residence of the royal family members.

In this rebellion, the royal family seemed innocent, but in fact, they were the first ones to cooperate with Li Botao.

Because Xiao Yunzheng was too cruel and killed the royal heir when he ascended the throne, the royal family did not support Xiao Yunzheng's ascension to the throne from the beginning, but due to the powerful situation, they dared not show it.

However, Xiao Yunzheng resisted the approach of women and had no offspring, which made the royal family hopeless. They had been secretly planning to choose the youngest son of the royal family to ascend the throne and become emperor.

But the appearance of Jiang Dai caught them off guard, so they were desperate and decided to cooperate with Li Botao...

Half an hour later, Xiao Yunzheng's red clothes were soaked in blood. The strong smell of blood made the corners of his eyes appear red.

Zong Zheng's eyes were red and bloodshot, and he shouted:

"Xiao Yunzheng, you are a demon who kills people without blinking an eye. You killed your father and brother, and slaughtered your own people. I curse you to have no descendants and die a miserable death..."

With a "puff", blood gushed out from Zong Zheng's neck, interrupting his words.

Xiao Yunzheng retracted his sword, his eyes flashed red for a moment, but it quickly disappeared, and he said in a cold voice:

"Since Zongzheng is so keen on cutting off his descendants, then all his descendants should be killed and buried with him."

I had originally wanted to save the lives of his unborn child by sparing the women and underage children of the royal family, but now...

There are many people cursing him, Xiao Yunzheng doesn’t care, but those who curse Jiang Dai and their children are unforgivable!

The next day, Xiao Yunzheng announced at the morning court that Li Botao had committed treason and rebellion and had committed suicide out of fear of punishment. His children and grandchildren who were involved were sentenced to beheading, and the Li family was sentenced to exile, and three generations of the family were not allowed to take the imperial examinations and become officials.

Most of Li Botao's accomplices in the royal family who should be killed were killed, and the others were stripped of their "Xiao" surnames and demoted to commoners.

The rest were also liquidated one by one, either beheaded or exiled.

Until the very end, when Xiao Yunzheng mentioned the Liao Kingdom's "Immortal Powder" conspiracy and his decision to send troops to attack the Liao Kingdom, the ministers were instantly in an uproar.

"Your Majesty, the Liao Kingdom and my Xiao Kingdom have always been on good terms. Is it too arbitrary to send troops to attack just because of suspicion?"

"The war between the two countries is costly and time-consuming. Why can't it be resolved peacefully through negotiation? Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"I would like to ask, Your Majesty, where did you get this news? Is it reliable?"

"The soldiers of the Xiao Kingdom have not been on the battlefield for a long time. If we rashly confront the Liao Kingdom, we may not be able to return victorious. I hope Your Majesty will be cautious!"

……

Xiao Yunzheng said:

"The immortals erode people's minds and damage their foundations, causing endless troubles."

"The Liao Kingdom has evil ambitions and is selling the Immortal Powder in large quantities in the territory of my Xiao Kingdom, intending to destroy the Xiao Kingdom. It is justified for me to send troops to attack them."

"Moreover, Liao is currently experiencing natural disasters and food shortages, but our Xiao Kingdom has the support of the wealth of the richest family, the Jiang family. In this battle, our Xiao Kingdom will surely win!"

"I have made up my mind, so there is no need for you to say more."

Seeing this, the ministers no longer had any objections.

The blood on the ground in the palace yesterday has not been washed away yet, and they don't want to add to it, but they are not optimistic about this expedition...
