197. Behead the nobles

Although Zhao Dongting did not take the sacrifices to heaven and earth seriously, the ministers and Taoist priests such as Wuwangzi were still extremely cautious.

They believe in this.

Zhao Dongting strode up to the round Temple of Prayering Heaven, stood in front of the incense burner, and bowed three times.

Wuwangzi, Wuyuanzi and others also took more than ten yellow-robed Taoist priests to the altar and stood behind the altar behind the incense burner. Wuwangzi and others also held magic weapons, waiting for the auspicious time to come, they prepared to pray for blessings.

A few minutes later, a clear sound of bells and tripods suddenly came from the main hall in front.

"rise!"

Wuwangzi posed a sword, stepped on the seven stars around the altar, and began to chant something in his mouth.

The rest of the Taoist priests who either hold magic weapons or sit upright sing in unison.

The flags roared on the altar and whirred.

Zhao Dongting looked at it and felt a little impressed. This attitude alone was not comparable to those who sold dog meat in later generations who were the sheep's name.

After more than ten minutes, the Taoist priests took a break. Wuwangzi was quite old, but after so much trouble, there was no sweat on his forehead, and his breath was still stable. Obviously, his internal skills were not low.

He walked to Zhao Dongting and said, "Please recite the Dharma to worship the heavens."

As he said that, a Taoist priest waved his hand and immediately walked up with yellow silk.

Zhao Dongting picked up the yellow silk, spread it out, and read it according to the text. He simply did not make the French pronunciation particularly difficult to pronounce, otherwise he might even be embarrassed.

I pray that all the civil servants and generals in the Temple of Heaven fell to the ground.

He sprinkled nearly a thousand words. When he finished reading it, he didn't know if the knees of civil servants and military generals below were hurt. Anyway, Zhao Dongting's mouth was a little dry.

Fortunately, the procedures for worshiping heaven and earth were not particularly complicated, and after reading it, there was nothing he had done about it.

The Taoists performed the Sanskrit singing for more than ten minutes, and the rituals that sacrificed to heaven and earth were finished.

Wuwangzi handed the peach wood sword in his hand to the little Taoist priest and went to Zhao Dongting, "Please rest in the wing room."

After Zhao Dongting nodded, he personally led the way forward.

All officials and maids and eunuchs followed each other, Zhao Da and Zhao Hu led the Feilong soldiers to the front door of Wuliangguan to wait.

When they arrived at the wing room, a Taoist priest led Yang Shufei, Lu Xiufu and others to drink tea in the wing room. Zhao Dongting took Jun Tianfang and had no choice but to go to Wuwangzi's wing room where he met guests. Wu Yuanzi and four real people naturally followed behind.

Zhao Dongting was invited to sit down in the main seat.

Smelling the faint sandalwood in the room, he felt a little transcendent in his heart.

When he walked out of the wing room, he had two more bottles of elixirs in his hand.

This pill was presented to Zhao Dongting as a rare treasure, with a heartache on his face. It was called Quanzhen Pill.

There is a Dragon and Tiger Pill in Longhu Mountain. This Quanzhen Pill seems to be a name specially obtained by Taoist priests of Quanzhen Sect for the Dragon and Tiger Pill. However, if they have confidence and are comparable to the world-famous Dragon and Tiger Pill, they are naturally not far behind. Wuwangzi said that this is their Master Kaiguan, which means that his master has merits in preaching. The immortal mountain of Quanzhen Ancestral Court sent people to send these two bottles of Quanzhen Pills.

Leading everyone down the mountain, Zhao Dongting asked Le Wuchen and Jun Tianfang next to him, "Two seniors, are Quanzhen Dan really effective?"

Wuwangzi said that the Quanzhen Pill seemed to be able to live and die, and flesh and bones, which really made him unable to believe it.

Le Wuchen said: "The Quanzhen Pill comes from Xianshan, and it does have the effect of improving internal strength."

"oh."

Zhao Dongting nodded and handed two bottles of Quanzhen Pills to the eunuch behind him at will.

He still didn't have the courage to take it, not to mention that these two bottles of elixirs have been in Wuliangguan for more than ten years, and he didn't know whether they had deteriorated.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, everyone returned to Haikang County in a mighty manner.

As soon as he arrived outside the gate of Haikang County, Zhao Dongting ordered Liu Hongyi to take all the nobles of Leizhou to the palace to meet.

The assassination of Guidang Valley really made him angry.

At night, dozens of nobles in Leizhou were taken to the palace, and Liu Hongyi went to the palace to report to Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting did not care about practicing the art of room, so he followed Liu Hongyi to the square in front of the palace and saw dozens of Leizhou nobles escorted by soldiers.

Before he could speak, a nobleman cried and said, "Your Majesty, I'm wronged, I'm wronged..."

Zhang Guangyao, who was in front, did not speak.

"Kneel down!"

All the soldiers were Liu Hongyi's personal soldiers, so they were not polite. They used long spears to hit the knees of these nobles, making them cry and kneel to the ground.

A mess of smoke.

Zhao Dongting almost laughed angry and said, "I am wronged? Why am I wronged you?"

A nobleman said, "Assassination, the matter of assassination has nothing to do with us!"

Zhao Dongting sneered, "You know the news very quickly. How do you know that I asked you to come for assassination?"

Those nobles knew that they had made up their words and immediately became as quiet as a cicada and dared not say anything more.

When the night wind blew, Zhao Dongting said again: "I can't figure it out. I just intend to restore the freedom of the untouchables in your family. How can you do such a traitor?"

Another nobleman cried, "Your Majesty, I really don't care about my business!"

Zhao Dongting said: "It's not your business. Are the assassins who are so idle that they can't do anything to assassinate me?"

As he said that, he waved his hand, feeling a little excited, "Not everything needs to be proven... General Liu, take them down! Behead them."

"yes!"

Liu Hongyi held his fists and took the order.

This scared the nobles so much that some of them even fell to the ground.

Zhang Guangyao, the leader of the nobles in Leizhou, did not speak from beginning to end, and at this moment he just sighed, "The fool is hurting me..."

But he never thought that this sentence left him with a life.

A look of surprise flashed in Zhao Dongting's eyes, and he pointed at Zhang Guangyao and said, "Leave him behind."

Liu Hongyi nodded and ordered the soldiers to escort all the other nobles out of the palace.

That night, no one of the nobles of Leizhou except Zhang Guangyao was spared. Dozens of heads fell to the ground, and the nobles of Leizhou were completely disintegrated.

Zhao Dongting looked at Zhang Guangyao with a rich face and said, "The assassination has nothing to do with you?"

Zhang Guangyao said: "Most of us have nothing to do with assassination."

Zhao Dongting said: "But you know the news. If you don't report it on purpose, I'm afraid you have the intention to enjoy the fruits, right?"

He never thought that the nobles in Leizhou would assassinate him, and some of the timids would definitely not participate. But if they didn't report it, it would be a death sentence.

Zhang Guangyao didn't say anything, so he was accustomed to it.

Zhao Dongting asked again, "Do you know why I want to leave your life alone?"

Zhang Guangyao sighed: "Break the world's mouths."

"You are a smart person."

Zhao Dongting looked up at the night sky, "Since that's the case, you should know what to say in the future, right?"

Zhang Guangyao said: "Their conspiracy to assassinate will not be forgiven."

"Um."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, "If someone dares to cause trouble, you should know what to do."

Liu Hongyi took Zhang Guangyao away.

Zhao Dongting looked at the night sky and suddenly realized that he had killed dozens of people, but there was no turmoil in his heart.

This made him sigh again, which was very complicated.

After all, I was assimilated by this era.

Some of those nobles were indeed wronged, but killing them could prevent future troubles. Zhao Dongting was unwilling to spend too much effort to interrogate.

The assassination was a very good opportunity to eradicate the nobles of Leizhou. He was unwilling to miss such an opportunity.

The next day, notices were posted inside and outside Haikang County, telling the rebellion of the nobles.

This naturally caused an uproar in Haikang County, and then spread to the entire Leizhou and surrounding states.

Officials from the Finance Department rushed to various places in Leizhou and seized all the property of the beheaded nobles.

The only remaining nobleman Zhang Guangyao was broken into the threshold of his home, but he told everyone that those nobles did hire assassins to assassinate the emperor. And the emperor was able to annihilate all the assassins in Guidang Valley because of his news.

This naturally made Zhang Guangyao hate the family left by those nobles, but no one blamed Zhao Dongting for this reason.

They assassinated Zhao Dongting became the emperor, so it was natural to behead them.

The people only denounced the nobles who were brave and did not know their loyalty and righteousness.

Chen Jianghan, Secretary of Finance, smiled from ear to ear.

The seizure of the nobles' property made the treasury more abundant in an instant. All the wealth they had accumulated for many years fell into the treasury.

This is even most of the wealth of Leizhou. Not to mention the stores and other industries, just real money, silver, jewelry, etc., it transported dozens of vehicles to Haikang County.

Chen Jianghan personally guarded the door of the treasury, and his hands were cramped when he turned the abacus, his eyes were cramped when he blinked, and his cheeks were so chubby that he smiled.
