When Yang Hong heard Zhu Qizhen's words, his expression fluctuated. Immediately after, he looked like he had given up and said coldly,"Hmph, you mean, ungrateful, doting, and crafty ruler. I definitely won't be the last person to rebel against you!”
At this moment, the officials who had received Yuan Bin's message also rushed to the north gate of the Xuan Manor.
Hearing Yang Hong's words, everyone's expression changed slightly.
However, most of them still did not know what had happened.
However, when he heard Yang Hong's disobedient words to Zhu Qizhen, he had already predicted Yang Hong's fate.
"Greetings, Emperor!"
The group of ministers glanced at Yang Hong and bowed to Zhu Qizhen respectfully.
"Rise!"
Zhu Qizhen glanced at everyone and spoke indifferently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone thanked him respectfully and stood up to the side.
Zhu Qizhen saw that the ministers had arrived, but the Wala soldiers and rebel soldiers outside the northern city had not arrived yet. There was still plenty of time. He raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled."Is that so? Tell me, how am I mean and ungrateful? Also, among the ministers present, which one of them was a crafty person?”
Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, everyone looked at Yang Hong with different expressions.
"Humph, I have guarded the Xuan Manor for many years for Great Ming. Even if I don't have any merits, I have worked hard. But you don't care about my feelings at all. Not only did you strip me of my official position, you even killed my son and caused my Yang family to have no descendants. If you weren't so mean and unkind, how could so many people have the heart to rebel?”
As he spoke, Yang Hong turned to the few generals who were captured by the net.
They were all contacted by Yang Hong. A few of them were Yang Hong's trusted aides, while the rest were Zhao Mei, Xia Zhong, Lu Xuan, and Yang Jun's trusted aides.
When Zhu Qizhen heard this, his gaze swept across the few of them, and his eyes carried a cold light.
Sensing Zhu Qizhen's gaze, their faces turned pale. They turned their heads away, not daring to meet Zhu Qizhen's gaze.
In fact, the reason why they had the heart to rebel was largely because they were bewitched by Yang Hong.
The moment they were caught, they regretted it.
However, it was too late for regrets now!
After a long while, Zhu Qizhen slowly withdrew his gaze and said coldly,"Yang Jun, Zhao Mei, Xia Zhong, and Lu Xuan fled at the last moment, causing the important border town of Great Ming to be occupied by the Wala people and causing the sacrifice of over 100,000 soldiers of Great Ming!”
"In consideration of their many years of service in guarding the border, and with a lenient heart towards the border generals, I only killed the chief culprit and did not punish others. You don't know what's good for you. You colluded with the enemy and rebelled against your superiors. You still say that I'm mean and ungrateful? In my opinion, I was too merciful, that's why I gave you all the courage to do so!”
Boom!
Towards the end of his sentence, Zhu Qizhen's body suddenly erupted with the powerful aura of an Inborn expert, and he pressed down on Yang Hong and the others.
Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words and feeling his anger, the few generals who had been bewitched by Yang Hong all looked ashamed and lowered their heads.
Marquis of Taining, Chen Ying, and the other ministers also had somewhat ashamed expressions.
Yang Hong's expression changed drastically when he heard this.
From Zhu Qizhen's words, Yang Hong could hear a chilling killing intent!
This time, it was probably not just him, but even his family would be in trouble!
In fact, that was exactly the case.
Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath and withdrew his aura. He calmed himself down and continued,"As for the crafty sycophants you mentioned, they are nothing more than people like Wang Zhen! Wang Zhen, this crafty minister, is already dead. You, this rebellious minister, I will not let you off easily! Moreover, you have also given me a reminder!”
"Pass down the decree. Yang Hong, Huang Fei, Xiao Yan, and the other generals who fled at the last moment and did not repent, attempting to rebel against their superiors, will be exempted from the interrogation process and their families will be executed as a warning to others!”
"In addition, Wang Zhen, the former Imperial Eunuch, Zhao Mei, Yang Jun, Xia Zhong, and Lu Xuan will all be sentenced to extermination!”
Swoosh!
Hearing Zhu Qizhen's murderous edict, everyone's expression changed drastically.
They did not expect that Zhu Qizhen would actually directly sentence Yang Hong and the others to such a heavy punishment this time!
Yang Hong and the few generals who were plotting a rebellion instantly turned pale.
"Emperor, this general knows my sins, this general deserves to die! I only beg the emperor to spare my family. I will be a slave in my next life to repay the emperor's kindness! I beg the emperor to show mercy!"
Suddenly, the general named Xiao Yan begged Zhu Qizhen loudly, kowtowing continuously as he begged for mercy!
"I beg the emperor to show mercy!"
The other generals also kowtowed and begged for mercy.
As the leader of the rebellion, Yang Hong's expression was stiff, and he did not have the slightest intention of begging for mercy.
It wasn't that Yang Hong didn't want to beg for mercy, but he understood that even if Zhu Qizhen would forgive others, he would definitely not forgive him.
The Yang Family's fate was already decided!
Zhu Qizhen's expression was ice-cold when he heard everyone's pleas for mercy, but he did not have the slightest intention of relenting.
In the beginning, perhaps because he had just transmigrated, Zhu Qizhen was not used to the punishment of extermination.
However, after experiencing this incident, Zhu Qizhen's heart had become even colder!
At this moment, Zhu Qi Zhen had completely merged into this cruel feudal dynasty!
"Emperor, I don't know what happened that made you so angry? Wasn't the punishment for the generals a little too harsh?”
Just as Zhu Qizhen was thinking about this, a somewhat discordant voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
