Chapter 42: The End of the King (2)
After receiving the imperial edict, the eunuch passed the imperial edict said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, Your Majesty has another oral order, saying that you will return to the capital as soon as possible after receiving the imperial edict. The emperor has another explanation."
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I immediately ordered the army to set out and return to the capital in less than half a month." said the Grand Supervisor.
"That's good, that's good. The commander can be granted a king and a marquis at a young age. His future is limitless. Please take care of the marquis in the future!" said the eunuch with a smile.
"This is natural!"
After seeing off the eunuch who was delivering the order, the Grand Supervisor ordered the entire army to set sail and return to the capital.
As soon as the military order was issued, the soldiers were all excited. Finally, there was no need to fight, and they finally won.
Looking at the general and ordinary soldiers, everyone looked happy, and the Grand Supervisor was thinking.
The next half month became very calm. The army advanced towards the royal capital without any rush. When passing through various cities, nobility often showed goodwill to the Grand Supervisor, and some even wanted to marry.
Well, the Grand Supervisor remembered that Zhao Feng already had a wife, what was his name? Forgot, forget it, don’t think about it anymore.
In short, the gifts presented by officials from all sides were as numerous as a hill. The Grand Supervisor refused to accept any number of them. He received as much as he could. Anyway, there was no need to continue playing.
Finally, on the 16th day, the Grand Supervisor brought the army back to the royal capital. Emperor Chilong had already received the news and brought civil and military officials to welcome the Grand Supervisor at the gate of the city.
Emperor Chilong smiled kindly, asking questions about his long and short matters, just like a brother!
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Mitian walked over, still smiling. The two "father and son" looked at each other and knew that the plan had begun.
"Okay, okay, don't stand here. Today is the day you are granted a title. Come on, prepare well and change your clothes. This afternoon, you will be the official Marquis of Zhao!" Emperor Chilong was particularly kind, and seemed to make the Grand Supervisor feel his kindness to the greatest extent.
Originally, there was no need for so much red tape to be named, but the Grand Supervisor, Wuhou, was indeed of great significance, so a grand ceremony was held to prove the great achievements of the Grand Supervisor.
At the same time, outside the capital, Pan Cheng looked at the Grand Supervisor with a ferocious look on his face, clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could tear the Grand Supervisor to pieces.
The matter of Zhao Feng killing the old general Pan Zhen must be explained to His Majesty the Emperor. Moreover, Zhao Feng already has the intention of being unjust, and His Majesty is still kept in the dark. It is too dangerous to continue like this, but how can we meet His Majesty?
Suddenly, Pan Cheng flipped over his body and turned out Pan Zhen’s tiger talisman. With this, he would definitely see His Majesty.
This is my last chance and must not be missed.
At noon, everyone was ready. Emperor Chilong looked at the Grand Supervisor beside Zhao Mitian and smiled. He first pacified Li Dongliu and then recovered the lost land. This person was definitely a gift from God. After a while of cultivation, he could directly rush his troops north to attack the snow wolf.
The Red Dragon Emperor is still thinking about it in various ways, and the Grand Governor and Zhao Mitian are already preparing to take action.
The ceremony of enthroning the marquis was very grand. All the three dukes and nine ministers were here, and hundreds of soldiers were strong.
The Grand Governor was wearing gorgeous costumes of a prince, standing at the top with a calm expression. Zhao Mitian retreated and secretly began to make arrangements.
"The ceremony of the ban, start now!"
A eunuch shouted, and the music sounded. Huihong was solemn. The Grand Supervisor walked to the Red Dragon Emperor step by step. Emperor Chilong came to the Grand Supervisor with the seal of Wuhou. Just as he was about to hand over the seal of Wuhou to the Grand Supervisor, he suddenly ran in through the gate and shouted loudly: "Stop it, please listen to my words!"
Emperor Chilong was startled by the person who rushed in and frowned, seeing who dared to interrupt such an important ceremony.
"Who is coming!" The servants on both sides stopped the man and saw that the man raised something high in his hand. Emperor Red Dragon looked closely and found that it was a tiger talisman.
"I am the captain of General Pan Zhen's personal guard. If you have any important matters, please report to Your Majesty!" Pan Cheng shouted loudly.
Emperor Chilong forced his anger to suppress his anger. Although this man was unreasonable, he was a meritorious minister after all. If he killed this man like this, he would be afraid that he would be disappointed to the hearts of the soldiers and generals.
"You forcibly interrupt the ceremony, you should have been punished for being ignorant of your crime, but today I will not blame you. If you have anything to do, tell me, but if you are sensational, don't blame me for turning against you!" said Emperor Chilong.
"Your Majesty, I have something big to report to Your Majesty!"
"Tell me!"
Pan Cheng stood up, pointed his finger at the Grand Supervisor and said, "This man, Zhao Feng, is not worthy of being named Wuhou."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.
Emperor Chilong's face changed drastically and he said, "Do you know what you are saying? If you don't say that, it's impossible for you to go out alive today."
"Of course I know what I am talking about. This man, Zhao Feng, killed the veteran general Pan Zhen. According to the imperial law, what should I do if His Majesty conspired to murder his colleagues!"
Emperor Chilong's face turned pale: "If you commit murder of colleagues, you should be executed! Is there any evidence for what you say? Didn't the veteran general Panzhen die in the battlefield?"
"Your Majesty, General Pan Zhen did die on the battlefield, but he did not die at the hands of the enemy, but was killed by Zhao Feng himself! I am the captain of the guard of the old general Pan Zhen. At that time, he ran away with the old general on his back, and the old general died under Zhao Feng's cold arrow." Pan Cheng said as he took out an arrow with the word "Zhao" engraved on it.
Emperor Chilong looked up at the Grand Supervisor, and saw that the Grand Supervisor's expression was as usual, without any change.
"Wuhou, is this person's words true?"
Although Emperor Chilong asked this, he thought to himself: "Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng, don't agree. He is just a dead general. How can he be compared to a living Wuhou?"
"Your Majesty, do you believe me?"
"As long as you say you haven't done this, I believe it. Tell me quickly. As long as you say it, I believe it!" Emperor Chilong said anxiously.
Pan Cheng's heart suddenly fell into the ice hole. It was a death sentence for murdering his colleagues, and no one would admit it. In this way, the veteran general Pan Zhen would really die in vain.
In any case, he didn't expect this would be the result.
