Hou Jin's thunderous stance immediately made the entire Great Ming Imperial Court panic. The entire Taihe Palace was as noisy as a vegetable market.
The Minister of War fell to the ground and shouted with a dismal expression,
"Liaodong has fallen, and the Houjin army is about to march straight in. Including the two Great Generals, there are only 300,000 soldiers in the capital. These people simply can't resist the Houjin army.”
The other officials were also panicking. Their faces were pale and their eyes were filled with fear.
However, their faces were filled with gritted teeth as they cursed,
"Wu Sangui, that dog thief, he actually shaved his head and changed his clothes. He doesn't even want to wear Chinese clothes. He's worse than a beast.”
"Let's not talk about useless things. There are no passes between Liaodong and the capital, so it won't take the Liaodong Army more than three days to reach here.”
"Mobilize the royal army once more and fight them to the death in the capital.”
“……”
The noisy words made Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, feel as if his heart was being cut by a knife. His entire heart was filled with hatred, hatred for Wu Sangui.
"Zhen had such high expectations for you, yet you actually let Zhen down like this. Your wild ambitions are simply unforgivable!”
At the thought of this, Chong Zhen stood up from his seat and roared with a ferocious expression,"Men, hurry to the Count of Ping Xi's Mansion and capture that old bastard Wu Xiang. Bring him to the Meridian Gate and behead him.”
When the Brocade Guards heard this order, they immediately followed it. However, these words stunned the officials in the hall. Then, their eyes were filled with fear as they shouted at Chongzhen,
"Your Majesty, you can't kill him. If you kill Wu Xiang, you'll completely anger Wu Sangui!”
"If we kill Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui might massacre the entire city. Your Majesty, please reconsider.”
"We can still negotiate with Wu Xiang in the future, but if he dies, there's no way out.”
“……”
The group of people had nervous expressions on their faces, as if Chongzhen was going to kill their biological father. Everyone stood out like a tidal wave.
Seeing this scene, Chong Zhen's face turned green. He wanted to grit his teeth and kill Wu Xiang, but when he thought of the consequences, he hesitated. He stood on the spot with an uncertain expression, his eyes flickering non-stop.
The entire hall was in complete chaos. Countless people had cold sweat on their backs. The atmosphere in the entire hall was abnormally oppressive.
"So what if I kill him? It doesn't matter."
Wang Cheng coldly snorted and swept his cold gaze across everyone around him. His cold gaze made everyone's hearts tremble and their backs tremble. The sound in the hall stopped abruptly. The entire hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Everyone looked at Wang Cheng with wide eyes, including Chong Zhen.
Wang Cheng didn't even look at the others. He stared straight into Chong Zhen's eyes and said coldly,"Prepare the decree. At noon today, Wu Xiang will be torn apart by the Meridian Gate and his head will be circulated to the nine sides.”
"No matter how high or low your official position in the capital is, you will be punished at the Meridian Gate. Those who disobey will die!”
When he spoke of death, the armor on Wang Cheng's body shook. His eyes were as terrifying as a tiger's as he stared at everyone. A bloody aura that soared to the sky swept through the entire hall from his tall figure.
Hiss--
The temperature in the hall suddenly dropped. Everyone in the hall instantly felt their hair stand on end and their palms turn cold.
Everyone looked at Wang Cheng with horror in their eyes. Their pupils constricted as if they had seen a demon god that had endless slaughter.
A heavy and oppressive feeling assaulted everyone's hearts, causing them to panic. It was as if the blood in their bodies had frozen in an instant.
Chong Zhen, who was facing Wang Cheng, was forced back to the dragon throne by Wang Cheng's cold gaze. His face was pale, and he trembled as he waved at Wang Chengen,"
"Great General Yi? The car cracked. The car will crack!"
After saying that, Wang Cheng did not look at Chong Zhen anymore. He suddenly turned around and slammed the sword in his hand on the ground with a clang. The red cloak behind him fluttered in the wind. His sharp eyes looked straight at the civil and military officials in the hall.
His sharp gaze made everyone lower their heads. No one dared to look him in the eye. Even Zuo Liangyu, who was still pricking him yesterday, suddenly shrank his neck.
"With me, Wang Cheng, around, the sky of this Great Ming will not fall!”
"In the blink of an eye, I'll slaughter Hou Jin!"
Everyone's heart trembled, and their bodies trembled. They suddenly raised their heads and looked at Wang Cheng. Their eyes were filled with shock and horror, but their hearts were beating like drums.
The strong wind knows the strength of the grass, and the hero appears in the swing!
At this moment, regardless of whether it was the civil and military officials in the hall or Chong Zhen, their pupils dilated as they looked at Wang Cheng. The blood in their bodies actually began to boil, and they had the urge to shout.
"In the Governor's Office, beat the drums and gather the generals. Those who do not arrive in the capital will be executed!”
"I will personally lead 300,000 soldiers from the capital to destroy Wu Sangui first, then kill Huang Taiji!”
"Recreate the Great Ming Lang Lang Qing Tian!"
The ministers were shocked.
Countless people knelt on the ground like a tide and shouted in unison,
"We will obey!"
In an instant, the haze brought by the millions of soldiers of the Houjin Empire vanished into thin air…
