Chapter 873 I Didn't Expect Him to Be Just a Clown

Xun Ruiming pointed at the generals in a rage and roared: "You...you should think clearly, treason is a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family."

King Wu smiled and said: "Xun Jianjun, don't be so angry, we are just doing the right thing...How about Xun Jianjun follow us to surrender to Emperor Ning?"

Xun Ruiming's face turned pale.

Suddenly, he took out an imperial edict from his sleeve, held it up, and said sternly: "Here is the imperial edict, King Wu, accept it!"

King Wu was slightly startled.

Xun Ruiming sneered: "King Wu, do you really think that His Majesty is not on guard against you? His Majesty is wise and far-sighted, and he has long expected that you will not be honest.

Generals, listen to the order, His Majesty has an order, if King Wu has any rebellion, all military and political affairs of Lingzhou will be taken over by this official.

Now, I am acting on behalf of the emperor and order you to take King Wu down!"

The generals looked at each other and looked at King Wu at the same time.

King Wu stared at Xun Ruiming with sarcasm.

Xun Ruiming saw that the generals had not taken action yet, and he felt uneasy. He shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you take King Wu down? This is a military order!"

King Wu burst out laughing.

"Xun Jianjun, you have only been in the barracks for a few days? When I was leading the army, you were still playing with the pen in the Hanlin Academy."

Xun Ruiming's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that Your Majesty underestimated the prince. Under my close supervision, you can actually win over so many people?

Well, well... Since you dare to disobey the order, don't blame me for being rude.

King Wu, what's the point of winning over these people? Don't forget that the Weilong Army listens to me, and they are all equipped with firearms."

King Wu just smiled.

At this time, a loud voice sounded outside: "This general wants to see King Wu!"

King Wu said: "Come in!"

A tall general walked in.

Xun Ruiming was very proud because this general was his man, responsible for commanding the 10,000 city defense troops equipped with firearms.

"General He, you came at the right time. King Wu is treasonous and intends to surrender to Ning Chen... and these people, let the city defense troops take them all down!"

The generals couldn't help but panic.

City defense troops are not scary, but city defense troops equipped with firearms are scary!

King Wu looked calm.

General He glanced at Xun Ruiming, then walked quickly to King Wu and knelt on one knee: "King Wu, according to your order, Xun Ruiming's men have been killed by me!"

Xun Ruiming froze for a moment, his mind was blank.

The other generals were stunned. They didn't expect General He to be King Wu's man.

Xun Ruiming suddenly woke up and shouted in disbelief: "General He, even you want to betray His Majesty?"

King Wu helped General He up and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work!"

After speaking, he looked at Xun Ruiming and pointed at General He and said: "Let me introduce you to General He He Qun, who has known Emperor Ning for a long time."

A long time ago, there was a fire in the Jiaofang Bureau, and someone wanted to burn Yudie to death.

At that time, Ning Chen had no idea about it, and only knew about it when he met He Qun halfway.

They also knew each other from that time.

At that time, He Qun was still a hundred households of the Leopard Camp of the City Defense Army. Later, Ning Chen led the City Defense Army and promoted him to the position of a thousand households. Now He Qun is already a fourth-rank general.

King Wu sneered, "I'm afraid that Xun Jianjun has forgotten that Emperor Ning once led the city defense army, and the soldiers of Lingzhou followed Emperor Ning to fight on the battlefield more than once.

Although you have dealt with most of the people related to Emperor Ning, it is impossible to deal with all of them.

They are soldiers of Daxuan and love this land, so after Emperor Ning left, they are still willing to serve the court.

You are not naive to think that Emperor Ning was really forced to leave by you, right? He couldn't bear to see the people of the capital suffer from the war, so he left voluntarily.

Jun Jianjun, you will never understand the prestige of Emperor Ning in the army and his position in the hearts of the soldiers.

When Emperor Ning was there, how prosperous was Daxuan? But now, the enemy has divided the territory and the people have suffered from the war... Everyone knows that only Emperor Ning can save Daxuan.

So, it's not that I won them over... but they know good and evil, right and wrong, and know who to follow?"

Xun Ruiming's face turned pale and his lips trembled.

He had always thought that everything in Lingzhou was under his control, but he didn't expect that he was just a clown.

King Wu strode forward, snatched the imperial edict from Xun Ruiming's hand, threw it into the air, and drew his sword at the same time.

The imperial edict unfolded in the air, and when it fell, it was split in half by King Wu.

Xun Ruiming stared blankly at the imperial edict that was split in half and fell to the ground.

"Xun Jianjun, Daxuan needs Emperor Ning, but it doesn't need a useless waste like you."

As soon as the words fell, King Wu raised his sword and cut Xun Ruiming with one sword.

King Wu shook the blood off the sword and said in a deep voice: "Generals, listen to the order, notify the whole army, from today on, we will be loyal to Emperor Ning... A few days later, open the city gates and welcome Emperor Ning into the city."

"Yes!"

The generals bowed and accepted the order.

......

A few days later, Ning Chen led the army and was almost at Lingzhou.

Calculating the time, it will take about one day before the army can be at the gates of the city.

Ning Chen ordered the army to stay and rest.

He was waiting for news from King Wu, so he was not in a hurry to go to Lingzhou.

He would wait here for three days.

After three days, if there was still no news from King Wu, he would lead the army to attack Lingzhou.

The curtain was opened, and Pan Yucheng came in with a tray.

"Your Majesty, have something to eat!"

Ning Chen looked away from the map and smiled.

When the soldiers from the northern border came to Yuzhou, Pan Yucheng also came.

Old Pan was still very careful.

When Old Pan was away, Feng Qizhen was responsible for his daily life.

But Feng Qizhen, a rough man, said he was guarding the door of the tent, but in fact he just slept in a different place.

He was often so busy that he forgot to eat. Feng Qizhen, a rough man, could not remember these things at all. He did not say he was hungry, but Feng Qizhen never took the initiative to arrange food for him, which made him often hungry and full. It was often time for dinner before he remembered that he had not eaten lunch.

Of course, after Pan Yucheng learned all this, he scolded Feng Qizhen.

Ning Chen came over and sat down at the low table, raised his head and asked, "Old Pan, you haven't eaten yet, right? Sit down and eat together, I can't finish it all by myself."

Pan Yucheng nodded, "As ordered! Your Majesty, you are now the emperor, you can't call me Old Pan anymore, it will damage the emperor's prestige."

"Then how should I call you? Call you Pan Aiqing?"

Pan Yucheng nodded.

Ning Chen's mouth twitched, "Nonsense, the emperor can't call you Old Pan? Father doesn't often call me Ning Chen, mostly he calls me brat.

Besides, I am only the emperor temporarily... You know me, ascending the throne is not what I want.

I admire my father more and more now, he manages the whole Daxuan in an orderly manner, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and he feeds a million troops, and the treasury is still so full. Unlike me, the food and grass for the army of more than 200,000 makes me anxious."
