Chapter 212: Killing the Nine Clans of the Zhao Family
Chapter 212: Killing the Nine Clans of the Zhao Family
Jiayu sneered and said, "Why can't it be me?"
Prime Minister Zhao discovered that his grandson knew the Queen, so he asked:
"Grandson, do you know him?"
Young Master Zhao said, "Grandpa, she is the beauty who spoke wildly in the inn yesterday and almost killed my grandson."
At this point, Master Zhao couldn't accept it and shook his head while backing away:
"How could she be Empress Qi?"
No wonder that woman dared to speak so arrogantly yesterday and said that she would kill all nine generations of his clan.
Only now did he realize that the other person did have this ability!
It’s over, it’s over. Not only has he offended Queen Qi, but he will never have the chance to get this beauty again.
Prime Minister Zhao looked at Jiayu, who was sitting at the top of the table, without a trace of awe in his eyes, and even sneered:
"Oh, she is quite pretty, no wonder she became the Queen of Daqi."
"I'm afraid that this position of queen was obtained by using the beauty trap to confuse Emperor Qi?"
At this moment, Ming Yan, who was standing in front of the hall, swung the sword in his hand with a whooshing sound.
Ming Yan pointed the long sword in his hand directly at Prime Minister Zhao and said unhappily:
"Keep your mouth clean."
Prime Minister Zhao sneered: "Haha, the palace has been surrounded by my Zhao family army. I advise you to surrender as soon as possible so that you can have a whole body. Otherwise..."
Mr. Zhao, who was in despair, was no longer in despair after hearing his grandfather's words.
Yes, his Zhao family army has surrounded the imperial palace. Not to mention Queen Qi, even if Emperor Qi was there, he couldn't escape.
Since Queen Qi can't get out, what is he worried about?
At this moment, thinking that their Zhao family is in control of the court today, Master Zhao is overjoyed.
From now on, the beautiful Queen Qi will be his.
Although Queen Qi was once owned by Emperor Qi, he didn't mind because she was so beautiful.
Then again, when Emperor Qi found out that his woman was possessed by him, he was so angry that he almost died.
Thinking of this, Mr. Zhao looked at Jiayu and teased:
"Beauty, please obey me immediately, I will not kill you."
"Not only will I not kill you, but when I become emperor, I will make you, the former queen, the Imperial Noble Consort. How do you think?"
"Alas, I also want to give you the position of queen, but there is no way. After all, you have been the woman of Emperor Qi. If you become the queen, it will be difficult to convince the public."
"However, I do not despise you. After I become emperor, I will only favor you."
Jiayu sneered:
"Oh, you've already thought about where we'll be buried before we even start, Mr. Zhao, you're really good at daydreaming."
"I said yesterday that if you break your promise, I will kill all your clans."
"I was just joking with you. I won't really take my anger out on your entire Zhao family."
"I never thought that your Zhao family would openly rebel today. This is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan."
Speaking of this, Jiayu's eyes suddenly turned cold:
"Then today, I will execute all nine generations of your Zhao family!"
Young Master Zhao sneered:
"Haha, beauty, you are about to die, and you are still stubborn?"
"The troops in the capital of Dajin are all controlled by my Zhao family. You came to Dajin this time with only a thousand elite soldiers. Can you still deal with my 200,000 Zhao family soldiers guarding the capital?"
"The emperor is far away. You want to inform Emperor Qi, but he can't help you. How can you escape?"
"Back then, you, Daqi, relied on the immortal to conquer the Central Plains. Now that the immortal has returned to heaven, do you still have a chance to defeat my Zhao family army?"
Jiayu spoke lazily:
"It's still uncertain who will win in the end."
Then she ignored Mr. Zhao and turned to the officials, asking in a serious tone:
"Listen up, civil and military officials. Those who are willing to side with the Zhao family can stand up now."
"I will give you three days to choose. It's up to you to choose the Zhao family or my Daqi family, but you will bear the consequences at your own risk!"
"I have made it clear beforehand that no matter who among you chooses the Zhao family, you will be buried with the nine clans of the Zhao family in the end."
"Please line up, three, two..."
The three extremely intimidating numbers from Jiayu's mouth made all the officials in the hall nervous.
Before they had the time to analyze which team was more favorable to them, the final number had already come out of the Queen's mouth.
"one!"
As soon as Jiayu finished speaking, all the civil and military officials began to make their choices immediately, fearing that they would not be able to make a choice if they were late for even a second.
Jiayu looked out and found that one third of the officials on both sides of the hall had come out.
Jiayu smiled with satisfaction:
"Very good. The officials I brought with me this time can just replace the officials in the Zhao family team."
The officials scoffed at her words.
"Don't worry, from now on, you are all great contributors to my Zhao family. Today, we have taken over the palace, and you will all have a share of the delicious food and spicy drinks in my Zhao family in the future."
Prime Minister Zhao spoke righteously to the officials who came out to support them.
This made those officials extremely excited, and they wished they could flatten Da Qi for the Zhao family right now and become founding heroes.
As for those officials who did not stand up, Prime Minister Zhao said in a disappointed and ruthless tone:
"To those who are not on the same side as my Zhao family, today, none of you will leave here alive."
At this time, the officials who did not leave the line whispered to each other:
"I don't want to stand with the Zhao family. Queen Qi dared to bring only a thousand people to Dajin. It shows that Queen Qi is not afraid of the forces here against her. It also shows that Queen Qi is not worried about herself. There must be people protecting her behind the scenes."
"I thought so too. Without absolute certainty, how could the Empress dare to come here on behalf of the Emperor?"
"Let's take a gamble. Anyway, I don't believe that the immortal has returned to heaven. What if the immortal is still protecting Daqi and finds out that someone is rebelling today? Even if there are millions of troops, they can still deal with the immortal."
"That's right, that's right. I also thought of this and didn't dare to stand up. I guess the Zhao family thought that the immortal really returned to heaven, and the queen had no help, so they could do whatever they wanted."
"I don't support the Zhao family. I'm different from you because I think that our Great Jin should follow a monarch like Emperor Qi. Our Great Jin emperor is incompetent and cruel. For decades, he has controlled Beilin and invaded the land of Great Qi. I don't agree with such tyranny."
"Yes, it is precisely because of Emperor Qi's benevolent rule that I hope that our Great Jin will become a part of Great Qi."
"What the Zhao family did today is no different from the Emperor of our Great Jin. If such a person becomes a monarch, it will only be a nightmare for the subjects of the world."
"Yes, even if the Zhao family wins and wants to kill me today, I will never collude with them."
Jiayu heard the subtle discussions and curled her lips in relief.
There are still officials who can distinguish right from wrong.
But when Master Zhao heard those discussions, he sneered:
"Isn't life more important than anything else?"
"If you support Da Qi, you will definitely die today. Why bother?"
"Isn't it good to keep your life and enjoy wealth and glory with my Zhao family? I really don't know what you are thinking."
Jiayu said coldly: "If everyone in this world is as selfish as your Zhao family, humanity will be finished."
Young Master Zhao: "If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. I don't believe that there are people in this world who would sacrifice their lives for the sake of great love."
Prime Minister Zhao: "Grandson, stop talking nonsense with her, our business is more important."
Worried that Grandpa might kill Jiayu, Master Zhao quickly reminded him:
"Grandpa, you can kill the others, but you must keep Empress Qi alive. I can't bear to see her die."
Prime Minister Zhao smiled evilly:
"Don't worry, Grandpa will not only not hurt her, but also support you to marry her."
"Grandpa let Emperor Qi see how his woman was played around by our Zhao family."
Young Master Zhao laughed and felt very relieved.
Then he looked at Jiayu above, and said in a conceited tone:
"Beauty, why don't you surrender? Do you want to wait for my men to carry you down personally?"
Jiayu narrowed his eyes and smiled sinisterly:
"Heh, you want to play tricks on me? Then let's see if you have the ability to do so."
While speaking, Jiayu pressed the controller on his wrist.
Young Master Zhao's face turned cold, and he waved the long sword in his hand and ordered in a cold voice:
"Someone, arrest Empress Qi for me."
However, before the Zhao family members could take any action, a strong wind suddenly blew in from outside the hall.
This familiar wind gave Ming Yan hope, and he said in great joy:
"It's Qilin!"
Before the wind died down, the Qilin appeared in front of the temple.
But before Qilin could speak to his master, Mr. Zhao spoke angrily:
"Who are you?"
Qilin turned around and looked at Master Zhao with a puzzled look.
Jiayu ordered coldly:
"Qilin, these are all rebels from Daqi. Throw out all those minions and capture all the rebel leaders here."
Qilin turned around and nodded respectfully to her:
"Yes, Master."
Immediately, he flashed and quickly rushed behind the Zhao family members, picked up the soldiers one by one in each hand, and threw them out of the hall.
It was as effortless as throwing a pebble.
In the blink of an eye, only the grandfather and grandson of the Zhao family and the military officers were left in the hall.
Those who were thrown out were soldiers who obeyed military orders.
When Master Zhao looked back, he found that the hall behind him was much emptier and his face turned pale with fright.
"No, it's impossible. How could that person have such great strength?"
Ming Yan said proudly at this time:
"That's the immortal from our Great Qi. It was him who unified the Central Plains for our Emperor Qi. Do you think he has the strength to do that?"
Mr. Zhao's body softened and he collapsed to the ground, shaking his head repeatedly:
"No, it's impossible. Immortals will never stay in the human world forever. How could they be here?"
Ming Yan chuckled: "If you don't believe me, just take a look."
Those officials who were on the Zhao family's side realized that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy:
"My queen, please spare us. We don't really want to stand on the side of the Zhao family. In fact, we were threatened by the Zhao family beforehand."
Other officials echoed:
"Yes, yes, we are all threatened by the Zhao family. If we don't obey them, they will attack our family. We have no choice but to obey the Zhao family."
Jiayu spoke lazily:
"Don't be so hasty to distance yourself from the matter, sirs. The outcome is still uncertain. Who knows, maybe the Zhao family will be able to defeat the immortal in a little while?"
Many officials looked as if they wanted to cry but could not.
If they had not seen with their own eyes how the immortal threw the living soldier out with his bare hands, they would not have begged for mercy now.
If that’s not an immortal, then what is it?
It's over. The queen had said before that if they stood on the Zhao family's side, they would be buried with the Zhao family.
Qilin, who had disappeared in the hall, is now going outside to capture the other rebel leaders.
Afterwards, Mr. Zhao's parents and several other members of the Zhao family were thrown into the hall one after another.
It was not yet completely light outside, and Qilin went in and out several times.
After a short while, all the big leaders of the Zhao family who led the Zhao family army to surround the palace and killed their way outside the main hall were thrown into the main hall by Qilin.
These people were all wearing heavy armor, including Prime Minister Zhao and his grandson, without exception.
Jiayu looked down at the Zhao family members and smiled arrogantly:
"Ah, Young Master Zhao, oh no, the future monarch of the Great Jin, why are you slumped on the ground now? Why is your face so pale?"
Master Zhao reacted and immediately knelt down in front of the palace to beg for mercy:
"Please spare us, Queen. We know we were wrong. Please give our Zhao family a chance to make amends."
"Even if you banish us to a bitter and cold place, we have no complaints. Please spare our lives, Madam."
Prime Minister Zhao, who had been so arrogant before, also crawled over and begged for mercy.
"My queen, this is all my fault. It has nothing to do with my family. Please punish me and spare my family's life."
Knowing that he could not escape punishment this time, Prime Minister Zhao could only take all the blame on himself to protect his family.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no fear that there will be no one to avenge him.
Jia Yuyun said lazily:
"What did I say before? Rebellion means the execution of all nine generations of your clan. Have you forgotten, Prime Minister?"
Prime Minister Zhao was suddenly speechless.
Jiayu stopped talking nonsense, his eyes turned fierce, and he gave a cold order:
"Come here, execute these rebels on the spot, and kill all nine members of the Zhao family, leaving no one alive."
"All those officials who had supported the Zhao family were also beheaded on the spot."
As soon as Jiayu finished speaking, the hall was filled with wailing.
"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?"
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Now it's too late to beg for mercy."
"We in Great Qi don't need people like you who are selfish and don't care about the lives of the people or the country to live in this world."
Jiayu brought elite soldiers from the Jin Dynasty, and dozens of them came in at this time.
The heavy footsteps scared the rebels on the field so much that their faces turned completely pale.
Jiayu turned his back and ruthlessly threw down two words:
"Do it!"
Dozens of elite soldiers raised their hands and struck with their swords at the same time.
After a while, the wailing disappeared, replaced by the sound of corpses falling to the ground one after another.
Those officials who did not take sides witnessed the bloody scene with their own eyes. Some were glad that they did not take sides, while others fainted from fright.
There are also people who keep reminding themselves in their hearts that they must not become traitors, as life is more important than anything else.
After a while, the bodies in the hall were dragged out and the floor was cleaned, and then Jiayu turned around.
She gave the following orders:
"My Lords, listen to my orders. The border of the Great Jin will continue the original system of the Great Jin. There will be no changes. What you were originally in charge of will remain the same as before."
"The group of officials that were purged earlier will be replaced by the group of officials that I brought from the Imperial City."
"From today on, the capital of Dajin will be renamed Dajin City, and a city king will be appointed."
"The King of the City shall obey the Daqi court directly and shall not form cliques, rule Dajin alone, break away from Daqi, and establish himself as king."
"If you have a suitable candidate for the City King, please recommend him to me now!"
At this time, someone volunteered:
"My Queen, may I?"
