On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Chapter 1371 The Rebels Are Annihilated!

King Cheng's face turned pale.

He looked at the blood-soaked man beneath the Phoenix Terrace, at the sword stuck in the mountain of corpses, and at the Imperial Guards soldiers around him, whose courage had long been shattered.

His legs were trembling.

Several thousand imperial guards were actually driven back by one person.

This is impossible.

But the scene before him left him no choice but to believe it.

"Useless! All of you are useless!" King Cheng's voice was filled with hysteria. "So many people, and you can't even take down Yue Fei!"

The Imperial Guard soldiers kept their heads down, and none of them dared to respond.

They had considered charging forward, but the bodies of the dozen or so comrades who had charged the fastest were still lying on the ground.

"King Cheng."

Lin Zhen's voice rang out.

He stood up from the Phoenix Terrace and walked to Yue Fei's side.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Yue Fei drew his sword and knelt on one knee.

"It would be my honor to serve Your Highness to the death."

Lin Zhen reached out to help him up, then turned to look at Prince Cheng.

"Didn't you want to purge the court of corrupt officials?"

"Come on, I'll stand here, you try cleaning one."

King Cheng gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes around a few times.

He knew that things were beyond repair today.

Either Lin Zhen dies, or he dies.

"Attack him! Whoever kills Lin Zhen will be ennobled and appointed prime minister!" This time, the reward he offered was even greater.

But none of the Imperial Guard soldiers moved.

To be granted a title and appointed prime minister?

You have to be alive to take it.

Just as King Cheng was getting furious, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"His Highness has ordered: Suppress the rebellion!"

Thousands of soldiers clad in black armor rushed in from outside the hall.

It was Lin Zhen's personal guard battalion.

They held standard-issue long swords, stood in neat formation, and exuded a murderous aura.

King Cheng's expression changed completely. "You...you were prepared all along?"

Lin Zhen didn't answer, she just looked at him.

His gaze was like that of someone looking at a dead person.

"Kill the rebels, but spare King Cheng's life."

Lin Zhen's order was issued.

The soldiers of the Imperial Guard responded in unison and charged towards the Imperial Guards who had lost their will to fight.

There is no suspense in the battle.

Those Imperial Guard soldiers, already terrified by Yue Fei's killings, were now surrounded by the Imperial Guards and had no will to resist.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, most of the rebels inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony had been wiped out.

The ground was littered with corpses.

The white marble floor was already stained crimson with blood.

King Cheng looked at the scene before him and knew that all was lost.

He turned abruptly and rushed toward the side gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Want to run?"

Yue Fei drew his sword and was about to give chase.

Lin Zhen raised his hand to stop him.

"Let him run."

Yue Fei was taken aback.

"Your Highness, let the tiger return to the mountain..."

"It's alright." Lin Zhen's voice was calm. "A stray dog ​​can't cause any trouble."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Murong Yan on the Phoenix Terrace.

She sat on the phoenix throne, dressed in a black and gold phoenix-themed dress and a shawl draped over her shoulders. In this solemn hall, she was the only emperor.

A five-zhang-long (approximately 10 meters) continuous train was laid out on the white marble steps, and the golden phoenixes on the skirt were reflected behind the phoenix chair. On the screen, phoenixes woven from gold thread flew up together, as if it were the master of all phoenixes.

There was no panic on her face; she simply watched everything below quietly.

"Your Majesty, I apologize for the disturbance."

Lin Zhen walked up the steps and sat down next to her.

Murong Yan glanced at him, her voice carrying a hint of coquetry.

"Couldn't you have acted sooner? Did you have to wait until he finished speaking?"

“He needs a chance to perform,” Lin Zhen smiled. “Otherwise, how will we know how many people in the court harbor ill intentions?”

Murong Yan understood.

Today's rebellion was not an accident; it was bait deliberately laid by Lin Zhen.

She looked at the officials in the palace, whose faces were ashen. Those who had been somewhat swayed by Prince Cheng's instigation were now wishing they could bury their heads in the ground.

"Zhang Jianzhi".

Murong Yan spoke.

"Chen is here!"

Zhang Jianzhi immediately knelt down.

"By imperial decree, Prince Cheng, Murong Zhao, has plotted rebellion and is guilty of an unforgivable crime. Issue an immediate arrest warrant, and kill anyone who sees him."

"According to the order!"

Zhang Jianzhi accepted the order and withdrew.

Murong Yan's gaze swept over everyone in the hall.

"What happened today is due to my lax governance, which allowed villains to take advantage of the situation. But I want to tell you all that the Great Qian Dynasty belongs to me, and it also belongs to you! Anyone who tries to disrupt the Great Qian Dynasty will be shown what it means for the emperor's wrath to cause the deaths of millions."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Although this empress was usually gentle, when she got angry, her ruthless and decisive nature was more ruthless than any man's.

"We, your humble servants, are willing to die for Your Majesty!"

All the officials knelt down in unison.

Lin Zhen watched this scene and a smile appeared on his lips.

He knew that this incident would further enhance Murong Yan's prestige in the court.

Those with ill intentions should also put away their petty thoughts.

"Yue Fei".

"The general is here!"

"I order you to immediately muster your troops and prepare to march north." Lin Zhen's voice turned serious. "The matter of the northern desert cannot be left unresolved."

"I will obey your orders!"

Yue Fei accepted the order and withdrew.

Lin Zhen stood up and looked at the night sky outside the hall.

He knew that in the far north, an even greater storm was brewing.

Those so-called monsters, those heavily armored war wolves.

I wonder which faction it is.

"interesting."

Lin Zhen murmured to himself.

"It's getting more and more interesting."

Murong Yan walked to his side and took his arm.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about how to make those rats hiding in the shadows know what despair is."

Lin Zhen turned to look at her, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Since they dare to touch the territory of my Great Qian, they should be prepared to be uprooted."

Murong Yan leaned on his shoulder, her voice tinged with languor.

"Then let them know what happens when they anger you."

"Will do."

After Lin Zhen finished speaking, he lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.

"Let's go back and rest. I'm afraid we won't be able to drink today."

Murong Yan nodded.

The two left the Hall of Supreme Harmony side by side.

Behind him lay corpses scattered on the ground, and officials still trembling in fear.

The night was dark.

Outside the palace, a figure scrambled over the palace wall and fell to the ground.

It was King Cheng.

His python robe was already tattered, and his face was covered in blood.

He scrambled to his feet and ran wildly out of the city.

He knew that from this day forward, he would never be able to return to the capital.

But he was unwilling to do so.

He was unwilling to lose to a man with a different surname, Wang, and to a woman.

"Lin Zhen, Murong Yan..."

King Cheng gritted his teeth.

"You just wait, one day I will make you kneel before me and beg for mercy!"

His voice disappeared into the night.

Deep within the palace, Lin Zhen stood by the window, gazing at the distant night sky.

"Send someone to keep an eye on him."

"Yes."

A voice came from the shadows.

Lin Zhen turned around and looked at Murong Yan lying on the phoenix couch.

She had already removed her wedding robes, and was only wearing that black and gold phoenix descending to earth dress, with a five-foot-long continuous train that was casually spread on the ground.

She lay on her side, propping her head up with one hand, her eyes filled with his image.

"Still not coming over?"

Lin Zhen smiled and walked over to sit on the edge of the tatami mat.

Are you tired today?

"It's alright." Murong Yan reached out and pulled him back. "It's just a little annoying."

"What's bothering you?"

"I'm annoyed by those clowns." Murong Yan sighed. "There are always people who think that I, as the empress, only secured my position because of you."

"Is not it?"

Lin Zhen joked with a smile.

Murong Yan glared at him and pinched his waist.

"You still said that!"

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore." Lin Zhen held her hand. "But don't worry too much about what those people think. Whether you are an empress or not is not up to them to decide, but up to you!"

Murong Yan looked at him, a hint of warmth flashing in her eyes.

"You will coax me."

"I'm not trying to flatter you, I'm telling the truth."

After Lin Zhen finished speaking, she lowered her head and kissed him.

Outside the window, the moonlight was as clear as water.
