Data Wasteland

When the crisis was over, Chen Xing returned to the Prime Minister's office, and the first thing he did was to liquidate the treasonous behavior of the Imperial Guards.

Even if the war in the Great Eastern Court has entered its final stage, he has no time to intervene. Putting such a time bomb by your side is like hiding a needle in your pillow, like a stick in your throat.

He called Huang Fenglie, the legion commander of the Dragon Scale Guards, and ordered the other party to lead troops to surround the Guards camp, and arrested Garfield, the legion commander, and a group of senior officers.

The reason why he didn't send A Qiaomu's Black Prison Troop or Bai Yeliufang's Guard Army to arrest people was because the Imperial City Guard Army was extremely powerful, and its combat power was equivalent to half a king's level. Send them over, I'm afraid they will be detained if they are not caught.

Huang Fenglie was embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and said, "Sir, it's really not right for you to let me arrest people now."

"How do you say?" Chen Xing put his hands on the desk and turned his face to look at the tall and burly old man in front of the desk.

"Now that the war in Dadongting is not over, we will use our own people."

"Bastard!"

Huang Fenglie was only halfway through his words, when Chen Xing slapped the table and stood up, furious, "What do you mean by yourself!"

"Can the one who stabbed in the back be called his own!"

"Lord Prime Minister, calm down, calm down," Huang Fenglie repeatedly comforted, "It's the fault of the subordinate, the subordinate is rough, not good at words, slipped the tongue, made a slip of the tongue, it's an unintentional mistake, don't worry about it."

But Chen Xing was so angry that he couldn't stop.

"Are you confused!"

"They committed treason, a first-class felony, and they are going to search their homes for exile. What are you thinking!"

"Understood, I understand" Huang Fenglie nodded his head with drool all over his face.

After scolding for a while, Chen Xing's anger subsided.

Looking at the loyal and kind old general in front of him, he took a deep breath and softened his tone, "General Huang, I was a little excited just now. If I said something excessive, don't take it to heart."

After all, at a critical moment of survival, the other party firmly chose to stand on their side. Chen Xing was only in a hurry for a while, and did not have an opinion on Huang Fenglie.

"I'm old and confused. I don't distinguish right from wrong, I don't know right from wrong. The prime minister scolded well and scolded rightly, so that the old man was enlightened." Huang Fenglie said with emotion. .

"General Huang is serious." Chen Xing stood up, walked around the desk, poured a glass of wine for Huang Fenglie, and handed it to the other party.

"I know, you are very embarrassed," Chen Xing said in a heart-to-heart tone, "It's not what you and I want when things develop like this."

"Dragon Scale Guards and the Imperial Guards guard a city together and cooperate countlessly. They are brothers in the trenches. The love of Paoze must be deep."

"Sir, you misunderstood." Huang Fenglie straightened his back and said, "In Huang Fenglie's heart, there is only national justice and no personal feelings."

"Although Garfield and I have worked together for many years and are like brothers, in the face of right and wrong, we can only go our separate ways."

"The reason why my subordinates feel inappropriate has nothing to do with personal feelings." Huang Fenglie stated.

"Then what do you mean?" Chen Xing looked at the other party.

Huang Fenglie slowed down his speech and explained, "The Imperial Guard has been established for many years, and as the king's direct troops, it operates independently and has a sufficient budget. The interior has long been monolithic."

"Once the top officials of the imperial army are arrested, the guards below will be unrestrained, and I am afraid that it will cause a mutiny."

"Yeah." Chen Xing nodded thoughtfully. The other party was right. These people dared to treason, how could they not dare to mutiny?

"Then according to General Huang, what should be done?" Chen Xing asked humbly.

Just as the other party said, the Imperial Guard is monolithic inside, arresting high-level officials is afraid of mutiny, and sending someone to take over will in all likelihood be overridden, and internal promotion will be a nest of snakes and rats, meaningless.

Unexpectedly, this Imperial City Imperial Guard has become a hot potato, which is really difficult to handle.

"One of my subordinates is a reckless man. He only knows how to lead soldiers to fight, he doesn't understand the law, and he doesn't understand government affairs. He only knows that this is a bit inappropriate, but there is no solution." Huang Fenglie cupped his hands and said, with a sincere attitude and a humble tone.

Although Huang Fenglie said this, in fact, Chen Xing could see that the other party did not understand, but did not want to participate.

As a soldier, this is an invaluable quality. The heart is like a mirror, know without saying anything, keep yourselves safe, and don't cross the thunder pool. He is not involved in politics, but he understands the sophistication in officialdom.

No wonder it is not easy to be the legion commander of the Dragon Scale Guard and to stand firm by the king's side.

"Then General Huang, is there anything else to add?" Chen Xing asked.

"Yeah" Huang Fenglie frowned first, thought for a while with a dignified expression, and finally said, "Since the Prime Minister has asked, this subordinate will dare to speak the truth."

"If there is any arrogance, the adults just scold me, and my subordinates will think about me three times and accept them all."

"Okay!" Chen Xing nodded, "Then tell me!" At the same time, he made a gesture of invitation.

"When the queen came to the throne, there were many voices of opposition. In order to stabilize the foundation, the black prison eagle was assigned to conduct extensive searches and arrests, resulting in a lot of killings."

"Although it is unbearable, it is also helpless. Throughout the ages, kingship has been replaced, how can there not be bloodshed? Which time did not blood flow into rivers and corpses floated for thousands of miles?"

"But now that the overall situation has been settled, there are no more rumors and rumors. Even if there are, they are as small as mosquitoes and flies, and can be ignored." Huang Fenglie folded his hands and clasped his fists, "I also ask the Prime Minister to extend mercy, kill less and more forgiveness, and reshape the queen's charity and love for the people. image."

"Governing the country with benevolence can lead to long-term prosperity, prosperity of the country and prosperity of the world."

Huang Fenglie's remarks are sincere and sincere. They neither preach nor oppress people with morality. They only have the kindness of the people and the pure heart of a patriotic veteran.

Chen Xing couldn't help being awe-inspiring. If all the officials in the world were like this, why would they worry that the world is not peaceful and the world is not beautiful?

Chen Xing clasped his fists and performed the ancient ceremony, "The younger generation will remember the words of the old general."

"Don't dare!" Huang Fenglie hurriedly clasped his fists in return, "The prime minister has a high position, is the head of the hundred officials, and is an example of the country. He calls himself a junior, and he ruins the old man."

"Implementing benevolent government, reshaping the image of the queen, quelling the war, and bringing peace to the people are also my personal wishes." Chen Xing said.

Huang Fenglie bowed his hands again and saluted, "The Prime Minister understands righteousness and is the well-being of the people of the world."

"But" Chen Xing changed his words, "What should be dealt with is still to be dealt with."

"I can promise you that I will kill as few as I can and amnesty as much as possible, but treason is treason. No one can turn a blind eye and pretend that nothing has happened. It is impossible for those who make mistakes to not pay the price!"

"There are national laws and family rules, otherwise it will be messed up, don't you think?"

Chen Xing looked at Huang Fenglie, who was silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded heavily.

"I need you to gather your troops and accompany me to the Guards camp."

"I will handle this matter myself!"

"Yes!" Huang Fenglie straightened his waist and gave a military salute.

Half an hour later, Huang Fenglie led the Dragon Scale Guards to surround the camp of the Imperial Guards.

One of them is on the west side of the palace, and the other is on the east side, not far from each other.

Faced with the siege of the Dragon Scale Guards, the Imperial Guards did not capture them. Although they hadn't shown their weapons yet, and fought blatantly, they were also ready to fight, drawing their guns at any time.

Chen Xing took Huang Fenglie to the gate of the camp and shouted inside, "I am the Prime Minister of Ice Blue City, Chen Xing!"

"On behalf of the Queen of Ice Blue City, I now announce that all the members of the Imperial Guard are suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, immediately disarm and come out for investigation!"

The barracks was silent, and the guards had indifferent expressions, as if they had not heard the words of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom.

Seeing this, Huang Fenglie looked anxious and shouted inside, "Garfield, you bastard, don't you dare to face it if you make a mistake!"

"Hiding behind the brothers, what a hero!"

"Garfield, come out for me!"

Huang Fenglie was old and strong, and his voice was extremely loud, making Chen Xing's eardrums buzzing next to him.

A custodial officer guarding the gate of the camp stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Unless you can guarantee that you will not attack the regiment commander, the brothers of the custodial army will never agree!"

Chen Xing showed a stern expression and shouted: "You are not qualified to negotiate conditions with me!"

But seeing the officer sneer, "You can say whether you are qualified or not."

Huang Fenglie's face changed greatly, and he shouted at the other party: "Little bastard, don't you want to live!"

"Okay, very good!" Chen Xing nodded, his face became extremely gloomy, "Then let's see if I am qualified!"

After speaking, Chen Xing raised a hand and waved it hard.

Following his actions, the sky suddenly darkened, the wind was blowing, and dark clouds gathered.

Immediately afterwards, a huge coercion descended from the sky, the airflow accelerated, and the gust of wind rose up, blowing the ground to fly sand and rocks.

The thunder exploded, rolling in.

Looking up, in the thunder and lightning, a chariot emerged. The stout Nightmare Warhorse stepped on the fire hoof, neighing constantly, and the chilling atmosphere was overwhelming.

Around the camp, blue lights flickered constantly. Figures walked out of the blue sea of ​​light, including a female butcher holding a giant axe, Amazon holding a thunderbolt javelin, a black widow with high-pitched laughter, and a semen-sucking banshee half a foot off the ground.

Their formation was loose, but the number was extremely large, as if they were endless.

Even the Imperial City Guards, known as one of the strongest troops on the surface, showed an uneasy look in front of the succubus army.

The Succubus Legion plus the Dragon Scale Guards are equivalent to three times the combat power, and they have no chance of winning. This is still to treat Trilis as an ordinary king. If you count the strength of the sixth in the Heavenly Ranking, the combat power must be multiplied by at least two, or even a higher multiple.

It's just that in terms of combat power, the supreme powerhouse can only be counted as one unit, regardless of its strength.

Because the supreme powerhouse is a strategic weapon, it is essentially the same as a nuclear bomb. No matter how powerful it is, it is a single shot into the soul, and it also has the ability to destroy the world.

When the destructive power reaches a certain level, at the strategic level, the magnitude is meaningless, and it will destroy the world anyway.

"What are you all doing, kneeling down when you see the Prime Minister!"

A figure ran out of the camp, and scolded the banned military officer at the door, "I think you are tired of living, you dare to raise a bar with the Prime Minister, and you don't kneel down to apologize!"

Then the other party trot all the way and came to Chen Xing.

"Lord Prime Minister, brothers know it's wrong, be merciful!"

The person who came was a familiar face, smiled at Chen Xing, nodded and bowed.

The other party was Chen Xing, one of the few people in the Guards. The person who had met and did things together was Viscount Pacas, who was the liaison officer of the Guards.

It seems that Garfield wants to play the emotional card.

Chen Xing looked at the other party expressionlessly, but did not speak.

"My lord, we knew it was wrong, and the brothers of the Praetorian Guard knew it was wrong."

"We are all deceived, confused, confused, and I don't know how it is like this"

Seeing that Chen Xing didn't speak, Viscount Pacas just talked there alone.

"We knew it was wrong, Lord Prime Minister, we were deceived"

"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. Brothers never thought of going against you, Lord Prime Minister."

"Really, everything is a misunderstanding"

Chen Xing couldn't listen to what Viscount Pacas said, so he said with a cold face, "Viscount Pacas"

"Yes, Lord Prime Minister, I am here." Viscount Pacas said flatteringly.

Chen Xing looked at the other party and asked slowly, "If"

"I killed your whole family, and then told you, this is a misunderstanding, Viscount Pacas, can you accept it?"

Chen Xing's tone was cold, his eyes were like a blade scraping his face, Viscount Pacas's expression froze, like a frosted eggplant.

"From the moment you decided to betray, our friendship ended."

"Viscount Pacas, please go back and tell Garfield that there is only one way in front of you now"

"That is unconditional surrender!"

"Otherwise," Chen Xing gritted his teeth, and a word popped out between his teeth, "I'll wash the king's city with blood today!"

Viscount Pacas was ashen-faced, sluggish for a long time, dragged his heavy body, and walked back to the camp like a corpse.

After a while, all the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard put down their weapons and walked out of the camp with their heads in their hands.

In the next hour, Chen Xing fully dealt with the Janissaries with extremely high efficiency.

First of all, he ordered Bai Yeliufang to lead the garrison to the Guards camp to fully receive the equipment, weapons and property left by the other party.

Half of the imperial guard's outstanding combat power comes from high-end equipment that far exceeds that of ordinary troops. Even the most basic guards use specially customized weapons. When Chen Xing was living in the Black Death Continent, Ye Yang Bailiu spent a lot of money to buy a high-fiber combat uniform in the underground market and sent it to him.

You know, those are the daily necessities of the Praetorian Guards. Anything you wear casually is a valuable item for ordinary people.

Second, Chen Xing asked the military court to make sentences based on three years for soldiers and five years for junior officers.

Then notify the military of the five countries of Bai Ye, River Que, Tianqin, Norton, and Hongsang, and ask them to send people to receive these guards and disperse them to different places to be imprisoned.

Although these imperial guards were disarmed, their combat power should not be underestimated. It was very dangerous for them to gather together, and they had to be dispersed to serve their sentences.

In addition, these guards are all outstanding soldiers who are chosen in a hundred. They are scattered to different countries. In the future, they can be absorbed into the local army as appropriate after serving their sentences, but the premise is that they have good ideological reform and are not allowed to be promoted to officers within ten years. .

Next is the treatment of middle and senior officers.

Except for a few first offenders, the middle and high-level officers were taken over by A Qiaomu, who was secretly escorted to Sanchahe City, transferred to Yeyang Bailiu, and finally taken over by the army of Honglong, Heiyu, Yinclaw, and Shui Weasel, who were scattered and imprisoned. Five to ten years.

The first offender, Marquis Victor Garfield, several of his cronies, and two deputy commanders, were convicted of treason and sentenced to life imprisonment, handed over to the Church of the Holy Light, and joined the Monastery of Atonement.

Some sinners with higher identities and stronger strength are usually absorbed by the three major beliefs, carry out the practice of death, wander around the edge of the world, and resist the mysterious threat from the void.

The three places of death are the Atonement Monastery of the Holy See, the Tongren Alley of the New Zen Sect, and the Library of the Dead of the Supreme God Sect. Wei Haitang, the former Lord of the Silver Claws, went to the Tongren Alley of the New Zen Sect and became a bronze man. A member of the Human Monk.

According to the agreement with Huang Fenglie, Chen Xing would kill less and more amnesty. Basically, he would not kill a single person, but the Imperial Guards, which had a history of hundreds of years, vanished overnight.

On the side bed, how can you allow others to sleep soundly!

Do you want to keep them and wait for the fourth prince to fight again?

If anyone does this, they must be out of their minds.

Although the result is somewhat regrettable, the old general Huang Fenglie is very satisfied, which is much better than he expected.

In the past, with Triris' character, at least half of these people would die. Not only will the corpse be hung on the city wall to be humiliated, but also family members will be implicated, property will be confiscated, and they will be living on the streets.

In this comparison, Chen Xing's handling has been quite merciful.

Knowing this result, Garfield asked the Bishop of Binglan City to send a letter to Chen Xing before he left.

Dear Prime Minister:

I am sorry to hear of your handling of the Guards.

Very sorry.

I don't regret that I ended up like this, I regret that I missed the worthy minister and Mingjun.

Here, I would like to solemnly apologize to you that it was my ignorance and shallowness that made me make the wrong choice!

You are a very good leader, broad-minded, wise and inclusive.

You are a great star hanging in the night sky of the Dragon River, please don't change your original intention because of my fault.

May the kingdom be prosperous and prosperous under your rule.
