Chapter 1484: Showing Off One's Power

When Jiang Yun and Jiao Zhiyuan, led by the servants of the Zhao Mansion, hurried to the Zhao Mansion, they only saw Zhao Qian, whose body had been torn apart and turned cold. They were shocked to see that Zhao Qian was dead.

"Have the two ministers recovered from their illness?" Wu Ya, who had not yet left, saw the two people rushing over and asked lightly, with a little sarcasm in her words.

Since the siege of Fengyu City, Wu Ya has tried many times to summon ministers to discuss countermeasures, but not everyone responded. Many people found various excuses not to see her, and Wu Ya was naturally very angry about this.

And Jiang Yun and Jiao Zhiyuan were two of the people who found excuses not to see Wu Ya. The excuses of both of them were that they were sick and could not leave the house. Today's meeting was the first time Wu Ya had seen Jiang Yun and Jiao Zhiyuan since the siege of Fengyu City.

"Your Majesty, what crime did Lord Zhao Qian commit that made you so anxious to kill him!" Jiang Yun did not answer Wu Ya's question, but asked Wu Ya in a questioning tone, not taking Wu Ya seriously at all.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao Qian is the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, an old minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and has worked diligently for many years. What unforgivable mistake did he make that made you so angry?" Jiao Zhiyuan also questioned.

Jiang Yun and Jiao Zhiyuan were very angry at this time. Zhao Qian was an important minister they had won over. When Zhao Xingnian was away, Zhao Qian was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Revenue was very important. It can be said that Zhao Qian was a very important part of their plan.

As a result, Wu Ya actually killed Zhao Qian, and so straightforwardly, without even giving them a chance to speak, and directly beheaded him. Wu Ya's straightforwardness was beyond their expectations and completely disrupted their plans.

As soon as Zhao Qian died, the two of them lost control of the Ministry of Revenue, and they could not intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, which had a huge impact on them.

It was precisely because of excessive anger that the two of them even changed their tone of voice when talking to Wu Ya. Without disguise, they directly expressed their dissatisfaction.

"My two ministers, are you questioning me?" Wu Ya said lightly: "Don't forget, I am the monarch and you are the ministers! I don't even need a reason to kill you!"

"Then your majesty, you can't act so recklessly. What will other ministers think if you do this? If you do this, it will harm our Nanping Kingdom!" Jiang Yun said unsatisfied.

"Acting recklessly?" Wu Ya looked at Jiang Yun and said coldly: "Jiang Shangshu, as a minister, is this how you evaluate your monarch?"

"I..."

"Luo Yang, slap your mouth!" Wu Ya did not give Jiang Yun a chance to explain, and directly gave Luo Yang an order.

"Yes, your majesty." Luo Yang responded and walked towards Jiang Yun.

"You dare?!" Jiang Yun watched Luo Yang approach him, and was immediately furious.

"This is my order. What, Minister Jiang, do you want to disobey the king's order?" Wu Ya said coldly.

"I..."

"Pa pa pa pa..." Luo Yang was about to say something, but Luo Yang had already started without any hesitation.

Luo Yang is not as weak as before. He also practices martial arts and is stronger than ordinary people. He slapped Jiang Yun's mouth without any reservation. Every time he slapped, Jiang Yun's cheeks swelled up like a pig's head.

However, Luo Yang did not mean to stop, and continued to slap fiercely, while Wu Ya just watched coldly, without letting Luo Yang stop.

The servants who followed Jiang Yun were a little agitated when they saw this scene. Wu Ya looked at them and said coldly: "Anyone who dares to move will be charged with treason!"

Treason is a capital crime!

Wu Ya's words instantly frightened Jiang Yun's servants, and they stopped and dared not move.

"Your Majesty, Minister Jiang just made an unintentional mistake. He didn't really mean to offend you." Jiao Zhiyuan looked at Jiang Yun, who had been beaten into a pig's head, and couldn't help but say to Wu Ya.

"Whether it was intentional or unintentional, his words were disrespectful to me, and I will naturally punish him!" Wu Ya's voice was still cold, and she didn't show any mercy to Jiao Zhiyuan.

Jiao Zhiyuan looked at Wu Ya and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Wu Ya was determined to beat Jiang Yun. No matter how much he said, it would be useless. Maybe Wu Ya would seize the opportunity to beat him too.

Jiao Zhiyuan knew very well in his heart that they had avoided Wu Ya for a while, and Wu Ya must have something against them. Originally, the two of them thought Wu Ya was a woman and was weak on weekdays, so they thought she was easy to bully. The two of them were ministers, so even if Wu Ya was angry with them, she would not do anything to them.

However, it seems that they all misjudged Wu Ya. When Wu Ya was ruthless, she was no worse than a man.

As expected of a member of the royal family, this momentum is really strong.

"Alright."

After Jiang Yun was beaten black and blue, and his nose was bleeding, Wu Ya finally spoke.

Luo Yang stopped his action, looked at Jiang Yun with some regret, and then walked back to Wu Ya again.

"Minister Jiang, do you know your crime?" Wu Ya looked at Jiang Yun and asked.

Jiang Yun looked at Wu Ya, and he wanted to tear Wu Ya to pieces, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He could think that once he showed dissatisfaction, Wu Ya would never be polite to him, and he couldn't escape a beating.

"I know my crime." Jiang Yun said unwillingly.

Wu Ya nodded slowly: "What are the two ministers coming here in such a hurry for?"

"We...we heard that His Majesty was here, so we came here to pay his respects." Jiao Zhiyuan hesitated and said.

Zhao Qian was dead, and it was useless to say too much. Jiao Zhiyuan didn't want Wu Ya to target him again, so he just found an excuse.

"Really? The two adults are thoughtful." Wu Ya smiled, but her smile was cold: "But why, after you came, instead of saluting me, you sounded like you were questioning me?"

Jiao Zhiyuan and Jiang Yun looked at each other, knelt down at the same time and said: "Kowtow to Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty good fortune and good health."

The two of them performed this ceremony reluctantly, but the situation was stronger than theirs. Before Cai Cheng came to the city, Wu Ya was still the emperor of their Nanping Kingdom. They had to bow their heads in front of Wu Ya.

Wu Ya didn't speak, just looked at the two of them. Without Wu Ya's permission, the two of them didn't dare to stand up, so they had to continue kneeling.

It was not until a long time ago that Jiang Yun and Jiao Zhiyuan felt that they could no longer hold on and fall that Wu Ya slowly said: "Get up."

Then, without waiting for the two of them to stand up completely, she turned around and left, saying: "Go back to the palace."

Jiang Yun and Jiao Zhiyuan stood there, looking at Wu Ya's leaving figure with complicated expressions.
