Chapter 508
Liang Xing shouted loudly, but no one listened to him. The soldiers of the Sanshui Army still exited the execution ground in an orderly manner. Tang Yin did not pay attention to Liang Xing immediately, but turned to look at the executioners who had Wu Yu kneeling on the ground. Without him saying anything, seeing Tang Yin's eyes glancing over, the executioners shuddered one after another, subconsciously let go of Wu Yu, looked at each other, and ran off the execution platform in unison.
After they left, Tang Yin walked up to Wu Yu and reached out to help him up, but at this time Wu Yu could not even stand firmly. As soon as Tang Yin let go of his hand, he collapsed on the ground again. Upon seeing this, Jiang Fan immediately stepped forward and held Wu Yu firmly. Tang Yin looked at Wu Yu who was in extremely miserable condition and felt deeply. He frowned and said, "During this period, Wu Xiang was frightened."
Before he could speak, Wu Yu's eyes turned red and tears fell. The old man cried bitterly and said in a trembling voice: "Nephew Tang Xian, you are back. You... have to make the decision for me..." Maybe it was because The old man was too excited to survive the catastrophe. In the middle of his words, the old man rolled his eyes upwards, couldn't take a breath, and fainted.
"Dance!" "Father!"
Wu Yu suddenly passed out. Tang Yin and Wu Mei were startled and both stepped forward. After checking his breathing, he saw that the old man was unconscious and not in danger of his life. Tang Yin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while Wu Mei cried loudly to report Wu Yu. At this time, the Tianyuan Army generals headed by Qiu Zhen also walked out of the crowd. When they saw Tang Yin, they were naturally surprised. They jumped onto the execution platform one after another, knelt down and kowtowed to Tang Yin.
Looking at Qiu Zhen and others, Tang Yin was angry and funny. If they hadn't ignored Liang Xing's rebellion, how could things have developed to this point? But then again, if things hadn't developed to this point, he wanted to kick them out. It is really not easy for the veterans of the DPRK headed by Wu Yu, Liang Xing, and Ziyang Haochun!
He deliberately remained expressionless so that others could not see what he was thinking. He waved his hands slightly and said, "You all get up!"
"Yes! Sir!" After Qiu Zhen and others stood up, they all stood aside. Perhaps out of guilt, no one even dared to raise their heads, let alone look Tang Yin in the face.
Tang Yin took a deep breath, finally turned around, and raised his eyes to look at Liang Xing, whose face was extremely ugly on the high platform. After looking at Liang Xing for a moment, Tang Yin said with a smile: "Prime Minister Liang, I haven't seen you for many days, why are you wearing royal clothes?"
The calmer and calmer his expression became, the more nervous and unsure Liang Xing felt. Now he has no way out and can only confront Tang Yin head-on. Liang Xing raised his head, forced himself to show the arrogance that a king should have, and said loudly: "This king officially proclaimed himself king at the beginning of the month with the persuasion of all the civil and military officials..."
Before he could finish speaking, a different expression appeared on Tang Yin's face, and he smiled leisurely: "Proclaimed king? Why have I never heard of this?"
"Master Tang was not in Yancheng at that time!"
"Then Prime Minister Liang can take the opportunity to become king?"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the execution ground. Now there were nearly 200,000 people present. Listening to the conversation between Tang Yin and Liang Xing, the people were also whispering.
"The king has already said that calling him king is the opinion of all the Chinese and military officials in the court..."
"When can hundreds of civil and military officials replace the emperor?" Tang Yin interrupted him again and sneered: "In the empire, only the emperor has the power to appoint and remove kings. Prime Minister Liang, and all your lords, please tell me, what is your status? Is it so high that it is higher than the emperor?"
After hearing this, not only Liang Xing's face turned pale, but the ministers standing on both sides of him also trembled with fright and almost knelt on the ground. The emperor has no power now, but no one dares to say that he has surpassed the emperor. Yes, that is a crime of great disrespect that will punish the Nine Clans.
The people below were talking a lot. Most of them agreed with Tang Yin's statement and believed that Liang Xing's proclaimed king was too hasty. Only officials from the Feng Kingdom came to persuade him, but there was no conferment by the emperor, so the name was not correct. The words are not smooth.
Liang Xing and others couldn't answer for a long time. Tang Yin stopped his smile, squinted his eyes, and said quietly: "Prime Minister Liang, you didn't get an edict from the emperor to become king, and you didn't get a title from the emperor. You just established yourself as king. From this point of view, "What's the difference between you and the traitor Zhong Tian?"
One sentence made Liang Xingwen sweat profusely, his scalp became numb, and his hair almost stood on end. He was speechless, stretched out his hand and touched Tang Yin's nose, and screamed: "Tang Yin, you... If you don't slander others, I... this king..." He said several words about me, but he couldn't. Out below.
"Hmph!" Tang Yin snorted coldly and said: "Liang Xiang, I think you should take off this royal uniform first. Who will be the new king of Feng Kingdom? The emperor will make his own decision and establish himself as the king. King, you will only bring a reputation of treachery to us, Dafeng, and make us Feng people unable to hold our heads high in front of other countries. You may even put me, Dafeng, into ever-lasting danger because of your disrespect for the emperor!”
Tang Yin's words were reasonable and hit the mark. Liang Xing and many ministers around him were also speechless and could not answer for a long time. At this time, the people below couldn't help it. At first, it was just a small-scale shouting, but it soon turned into a collective shouting. People shouted: "Liang Xing, resign from the throne! Liang Xing, resign from the throne!"
The shouts of more than 100,000 people were like thunder, soaring into the sky and echoing for a long time.
At this time, Liang Xing was dumbfounded, and the ministers around him were also dumbfounded. People looked at each other, unable to get off the tiger. Qiu Zhen and the others were on the complete opposite side. They couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths and smile. Your Excellency was indeed extraordinary. He could completely defeat the king Liang Xing with just a few words without using a single sword. His face was completely lost. In front of adults, Liang Xing, who was so scheming, looked childish and ridiculous.
Looking at Liang Xing who was standing on the stage furious but unable to say a word, Tang Yin said with a smile: "Prime Minister Liang, you have been working very hard in managing Yancheng's affairs during this period. Why don't you go back home and rest now?"
"you……"
Liang Xing really had nothing to do with Tang Yin, who was hiding his sword in his smile. If he wanted to fight, Tang Yin had the military power of the Tianyuan Army, so he couldn't beat him. If he wanted to argue, Tang Yin held up the banner of emperor and refused to let go, so he couldn't defend him. . He clenched his fists and asked in a solemn voice: "It has been almost two years since the death of the late king. For such a long time, the emperor has not appointed a new king of the Feng Kingdom. If the emperor never makes an appointment, what will we do? Can’t you wait forever?”
"Then just set a one-month deadline!" Tang Yin replied with a smile.
Liang Xing was stunned and asked: "What do you mean?"
"Within one month, if the emperor's edict of conferring titles has reached me, that will be fine. If I have not received the emperor's edict within one month, we will discuss the candidate of the new king again!" Tang Yin said loudly.
"Okay! It's a deal! Let's take one month as the deadline!" Liang Xing agreed simply as if he was afraid that Tang Yin would regret it. The emperor had not appointed a new king of the Feng Kingdom for such a long time. He did not believe that the emperor's edict would suddenly reach the Feng Kingdom in this month. Without the emperor's edict, the new king still had to be elected by the ministers, and Wu Yu and Ziyang Haochun's cronies were either killed or turned against him, which was not a concern at all. As for Tang Yin, it was okay to let him lead the troops in the war. But if the ministers select the king, almost no one will choose him, and he will only have military power.
After finishing speaking, Liang Xing's expression finally recovered and he had a confident smile again. He waved to the ministers on his left and right and said: "You all go back to the palace as I am!" Liang Xing wisely stopped calling himself the king. He paused, then looked at Wu Yu and Zi Yang Haochun, and continued: "As for the guilty ministers Wu Yu and Zi Yang Haochun, we will make a decision after the new monarch is elected!"
Now that Tang Yin is present, Liang Xing understands that it is impossible to kill these two men. It is better to let them go temporarily. After a month, he officially becomes the king, and then kills them both. Tang Yin will not be able to stop him.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing Liang Xing about to leave, Tang Yin waved his hand to stop him.
Liang Xing looked at Tang Yin in confusion, wondering what he was going to do.
Tang Yin reminded him with a smile: "Since Prime Minister Liang is not the monarch of Dafeng yet, he can't continue to live in the palace, right?"
Damn Tang Yin! Liang Xing secretly hated it, but couldn't refute it. He took a deep breath, waved his sleeves, and said angrily: "Go home!"
Liang Xing led the ministers and guards away angrily. At this time, Letian and Jiang Fan hurriedly walked up to Tang Yin and said worriedly: "Sir..."
On the way back, Tang Yin had told them about the process of meeting the emperor. It sounded like the emperor had agreed that Tang Yin should be appointed as the new monarch of the Feng Kingdom. However, the emperor never said that he would issue an edict, and for such a big thing, The emperor also needs to discuss with the ministers. In addition, the procedures of the imperial court are complicated. It is not known how long it will take for the edict to be crowned king to be handed down. One month may not be enough.
Tang Yin understood their concerns and nodded in response: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Zhen and others came around and said in a flurry of words: "Sir, the ministers in the DPRK are basically Liang Xing's confidants now!" "Yes! If it is elected by the ministers again, Lord, I’m afraid the person chosen will still be Liang Xing..."
Tang Yin waved his hand, interrupted everyone's words, and wrote lightly: "We'll talk about it when we get back!" After that, he added: "Prepare a carriage, and send the dancing prime minister back to his house to rest first!"
"Yes! Sir!" Qiu Zhen and others nodded in response.
Tang Yin, surrounded by Qiu Zhen and others, walked out of the execution ground.
When he passed through the crowd of people, there was thunderous applause. Through the conversation between Tang Yin and Liang Xing, the people all sincerely admired and impressed him. At this time, Tang Yin's prestige in the hearts of the people had already surpassed that of Liang Xing. Traditional dignitaries such as Xing, Wuyu and Ziyang Haochun.
