Chapter 136 Why does he do that?
The declaration of purging the court of evil officials made by the Marquis of Zhenxi in Wancheng spread quickly and spread throughout Xiliang in just a few days.
The people of Xiliang all expressed their agreement. Without the Marquis of Zhenxi, they would not be where they are today. To them, Ying Xuanze was the great master in heaven. Only with the Marquis of Zhenxi could they have a peaceful life.
The voices of approval spread farther and farther and quickly reached the capital. The news was like a stone thrown into the water, causing ripples. Beneath the water, a turbulent undercurrent also surged.
The people of the capital were also very happy to hear the news. The Ying family not only did not decline after going to Xiliang, but instead amazed the whole country! The young master of the family has made great achievements one after another, and he is going to rectify the court environment.
Ordinary people don’t understand the rules and factional struggles in officialdom. They only know that there are treacherous officials and villains in the country. If it weren’t for them, the country would not have suffered the previous turmoil.
If someone is a villain, he must be eradicated. They will support whoever is willing to eradicate the treacherous officials!
But amidst this joy, there was also tremendous anger, and this anger came from within the court, among the treacherous officials and villains.
"boom!"
"This Ying Xuanze! He is truly a traitor! Does he think that there is no one around me in the Wang family?!"
In the imperial study in Taiqing Palace in the capital, Wang Ziyan swept all the stationery, memorials, etc. on the table to the ground.
Her chest was heaving violently and her face was ashen. She did not have the graceful and elegant demeanor of the mistress of the harem at all. Instead, she looked somewhat ferocious.
Standing behind her was the young man named Zishang. His handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, and his brown eyes were as deep as an endless abyss.
After Wang Ziyin took a few breaths, Zishang spoke quietly, "Ziyin, don't be angry. I think Ying Xuanze is... planning to rebel!"
Wang Ziyin turned around and scolded: "Don't I know that he is going to rebel?! I am angry because the people I employ are a bunch of rubbish!"
Her fair hands were clenched tightly at this moment, her sharp nails digging into her palms, almost piercing her skin.
But Wang Ziyi didn't care about the pain in her hand. She stared at Zishang and said with gritted teeth:
"He! He really wiped out the entire Hu tribe on the grassland in less than a month! He even eliminated 100,000 Yinglong troops?!"
"Zishang, tell me! How did Ying Xuanze do it? Is there any expert around him?!" Wang Ziyan growled, not caring about her own image.
Zi Shang lowered his eyes and shook his head, saying, "Zi Shang doesn't know...but what Ying Xuanze did was indeed beyond what an ordinary person could do."
Wang Ziyan didn't get the answer she wanted, so in anger she raised her hand and slapped Zishang in the face.
The crisp sound of slapping rang out in the imperial study. Zi Shang did not make any sound, but just knelt on the ground silently with his head lowered.
Wang Ziyin clenched her fist and said sternly, "I don't know this or that. What is the point of me raising you?"
"Tell me! How many Hu soldiers are there on the grassland? How many tribes are there?"
Zi Shang said in a deep voice: "There are three tribes, Tu, Nagor and Luge. The Tu tribe was defeated by the Tiger Guards, so they have the least soldiers. The other two tribes each have about 200,000 soldiers..."
Wang Ziyin's body trembled violently when she heard this. She said in a lost voice, "An army of four or five hundred thousand?"
After a brief silence, Wang Ziyan completely exploded, and this time she actually overturned the table!
"Good-for-nothings! They are all good-for-nothings! That's an army of 400,000 or 500,000! Where did Ying Xuanze get so many troops to annihilate them? To completely annihilate all these Hu people, he would need at least a million troops, right?"
"But our Great Ying only has a million troops, right? Where can Ying Xuanze get a million troops?"
"Even the souls of the dead Tiger Soldiers only number about 200,000. What about the rest? Can we borrow the ghost soldiers from the King of Hell?"
Wang Ziyin's expression became more and more ferocious. She grabbed Zishang's neck and continued to yell, "Tell me! How many soldiers does Ying Xuanze have?!"
Zi Shang took a deep breath, looked at the floor and said slowly: "At present, it seems that there should be only about 100,000."
"Perhaps he has lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the previous battles."
"Maybe? Possibly?" Wang Ziyi laughed in anger: "Besides maybe, what else is there? Is there any luck?"
"At the beginning, he did not ask the court for a single soldier. He was able to move into Xiliang smoothly with only the few hundred soldiers in his house. The bandits in the territory could not kill him, but he was killed by tens of thousands of people!"
"The Hu people, the Tu clan, couldn't kill him! Huang Chan sent his own son and his 100,000 elite soldiers, but they couldn't kill him! The remaining two Hu tribes, with a total of hundreds of thousands of people, couldn't kill him! And now he has an army of 100,000?"
"And he's going to lead these 100,000 troops to purge the emperor's court? He's become a good marquis in the eyes of the people? Hahaha!"
Wang Ziyin laughed a little crazily, and Zishang's face became uglier. After thinking for a long time, he slowly said:
"Ziyin, Huang Yan should have died for what he did, but he should have died in your hands instead of Ying Xuanze's! But what crime did those 100,000 Yinglong soldiers commit? What reason did Ying Xuanze have to kill them?"
"I think Ying Xuanze has evil intentions. He destroyed the Yinglong Army just to show off to our Daying! What do you mean by clearing the court of evildoers? How shameless!"
"Ziyin, since Huang Yan has died at the hands of Ying Xuanze, let Huang Chan lead the troops to destroy him!"
"Huang Chan will definitely avenge his son's death. No matter what, the two of them will definitely fight to the death."
"Let Huang Chan deal with Ying Xuanze. If Huang Chan is capable of destroying Ying Xuanze, then let him destroy the Ying family in Xiliang as well, and at the same time weaken his military strength."
Zi Shang narrowed his eyes and continued, "If Huang Chan is defeated, there is no point in keeping this kind of trash. If he dies, it will help us weaken Ying Xuanze's forces. Then we can reap the benefits!"
As soon as the voice fell, Wang Ziyi stopped laughing immediately. She gritted her teeth and said, "Send Huang Chan to kill him? Are you going to ruin my reputation?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Ziyan suddenly increased her strength and pinched Zishang's throat, and the latter's face turned ashen.
Wang Ziyin let go of his hand, and Zishang grabbed his throat and coughed violently. The former sneered: "Ying Xuanze has wiped out all the Hu soldiers on the grassland, which is an unprecedented achievement! Now the people in the world praise him!"
"He also used the people's praise to make a declaration to the world, saying that he would help the young emperor get rid of the treacherous officials and villains around him!"
"To put it bluntly, Huang Chan is a hot potato to us. He is no longer of any use to our Wang family. How can we send him to fight against Ying Xuanze?"
After Zishang recovered his breath, he kowtowed and said, "Ziyin is right. It was Zishang who was not thoughtful enough."
