Chapter 219: Erlang is burned, let your sister-in-law take a look
Afterwards, every word Yang Pan'er uttered was like pearls falling on a porcelain plate, making a tinkling sound that could easily break a person's heart.
"Today, you, Li Chongheng, with a thousand men, were unable to withstand a hundred Imperial Guards."
"Not only were those killed and their armor and weapons stripped away, but countless cowards, fearful of death, hid in the corners of the alleys, clinging to their heads in fear for their lives. How can such people defend the capital?"
"You, Li Chongheng, are incompetent first and derelict of duty later. Since you took office as the Grand General of the Jinwu Guard, you have achieved nothing."
"Under your rule, the Jinwu Guard has become increasingly corrupt and has bred a group of vermin."
"Now, I offer you two options. One is for you, Li Chongheng, to resign from your post and return home."
"Second, I will chop off your head, confiscate your property, and erect a stone pillar for you outside the Imperial City, engraving all your crimes on it as a warning to others!"
Yang Paner's voice still sounds so soft and pleasant.
But when it fell into Li Chongheng's ears, it was like ice chips blown by in the cold winter of December, making him tremble all over and no longer have the slightest thought of resistance.
Although Li Chongheng is incompetent and immoral, he is not stupid.
At this time, he finally reacted.
Although everything today seemed to be led by Han Zhuo.
But in fact, the manipulator behind everything is the empress!
It is the Empress who wants to take back control of the Jinwu Guards!
Even though Li Chongheng wanted to help the Li family, talk and fight for it, but in the end, he gave up!
He had a feeling that things were about to change in Xuanyuan Country.
So, Li Chongheng jumped off the horse directly, knelt on one knee with a "bang", clasped his hands together and shouted loudly to Yang Pan'er.
"Your Majesty, General Li Chongheng knows his abilities are limited. Now that I am unable to command the Jinwu Guards, I willingly surrender my military power and abdicate!"
But what Yang Pan'er wanted was not just for Li Chongheng to pack up and leave.
She looked down from above, with a voice that sounded soft and gentle, but she did something that no newly enthroned emperor in the nine provinces would dare to do.
She said, "The Jinwu Guard is now extremely corrupt from the inside out."
"From today onwards, all members of the Jinwu Guard, from Li Chongheng to the soldiers and foot soldiers, will take off their armor and return home."
"Anyone found hiding weapons or armor will be killed, and their entire clan will be exterminated!"
Yang Paner's word "kill" still sounded soft, like something she would say when flirting.
But to the ears of these Jinwu Guards, it was like a thunderclap.
Suddenly, the Jinwu Guards who had surrounded Han Zhuo and others quickly jumped off their horses, knelt on one knee, and dropped the weapons in their hands to the ground with a "clang"!
At this time, Han Sijin, who was hiding in the crowd, suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty is wise, long live His Majesty!"
The people of Kunwu City have suffered from the Jinwu Guards for a long time.
Yang Paner's order was equivalent to removing the shackles from the necks of the people of Kunwu City.
For a moment, the crowd was excited and cheered.
The cheers soon spread throughout Kunwu City.
……
Li House.
Li Rongdun and Li Yuhao were playing chess in the study.
Li Rongdun would look out the door from time to time, muttering to himself while playing chess.
"Strange, isn't Li Weiliang usually very diligent? He'll be the first to report any disturbance outside."
"How come it's been so long and he hasn't come back yet?"
However, Li Yuhao seemed very relaxed and confident, as if everything was under his control.
He said, "Grandpa, please be patient. Li Weiliang is an elder in our family after all. He is cautious and considerate in his work."
"Since we are going to kill Han Sijin's family, we will naturally do it properly and avoid criticism and gossip."
After hearing this, Li Rongdun laughed and said, "My son is very clever and has made all the arrangements. I haven't felt so relaxed in a long time. Hahaha..."
Just as Li Rongdun was laughing out loud, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.
Li Yuhao smiled and said, "Grandpa, look, isn't this person here?"
Li Rongdun smiled and gently pushed the chessboard in front of him, causing the game, which was already doomed to lose, to suddenly become a little messy.
He laughed heartily and said deliberately, "Alright, today's game ends here. There's no winner between you and me, grandfather or grandson."
Then, without blushing or beating his heart, he stood up shamelessly and walked towards the door.
A gloomy look flashed in Li Yuhao's eyes, but he didn't say much. Instead, he looked at the door with a smile, expecting Li Weiliang to bring them a little good news.
However, the person who ran in was not Li Weiliang, but the manager of the outer gate.
Li Yuhao couldn't even call out this person's name. After all, he was just an insignificant little person.
Li Rongdun turned to the person in front of him and said, "Why are you here? Where is Li Weiliang?"
The outer gate manager quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and recounted the major events that had just occurred at the inner city gate.
After hearing the news, Li Rongdun did not scream.
He turned around silently, walked to the table where Li Yuhao was sitting, grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it hard to the ground.
It was not enough for him to throw the teacup, he lifted the entire chessboard high up and slammed it heavily to the ground with a "bang"!
Li Rongdun's expression at this time seemed particularly gloomy, and he spoke coldly.
"This little woman from the market is so cruel!"
"I've been in the Xuanyuan Empire's officialdom for decades, and I've never heard of a newly appointed emperor who would completely disarm the entire Jinwu Guard!"
"As for Han Erlang, I'm a little confused. When did he become so close to the Imperial Guards?!"
Although Li Yuhao was somewhat shocked by what Yang Paner had done.
But for him, this is actually a good thing.
After all, for him, the current empress has begun to clear out the power of the old team.
We must take these powers back into our own hands.
This shows that this empress is more capable than he imagined.
If such a woman were to be conquered by him, and he could do whatever he wanted to her, and they could make love with each other, Li Yuhao would feel excited just by thinking about it.
Li Yuhao tried to persuade Li Rongdun: "Grandpa, these are just small matters."
"No matter how hard the Empress tries to eliminate the power of her former ministers, she is still a woman after all."
"As long as we control her, we control the entire Xuanyuan Kingdom. Now we just need to execute the plan."
Li Rongdun clenched his fists tightly. He waved his hand, his sleeves fluttering, and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then execute it immediately!"
……
The emperor's palace.
At this moment, there were two people sitting in the huge palace.
In front of them, there was a small teapot that was simmering over a low fire. From time to time, the rich fragrance of jasmine would waft out from the steam.
Han Zhuo and Yang Pan'er sat facing each other quietly.
At this time, Han Zhuo picked up the teapot.
Seeing this, Yang Pan'er gently opened her moist, red lips and said to Han Zhuo in a slightly anxious tone, "Erlang, be careful, it's hot."
At this moment, Han Zhuo had taken off the iron mask on his face, and only Yang Pan'er could admire his handsome and resolute face.
He couldn't help but smile faintly and said to Yang Paner.
"Sister-in-law, I have now practiced peerless magic, so I am not afraid of this little bit of heat."
But how could Yang Paner listen to him?
She reached out and took Han Zhuo's broad hand, just like she did in her hometown, and put it in front of her eyes, staring at it carefully.
Yang Pan'er seemed to be particularly concerned about Han Zhuo. She held Han Zhuo's palm and felt some rough calluses in the middle of Han Zhuo's broad palm.
Her tender hands would subconsciously rub the calluses on Han Zhuo's hands.
This feeling made Yang Paner unable to control herself.
She carefully observed Han Zhuo's palm and found that it was indeed as Han Zhuo said, there was no injury. Yang Pan'er did not put it down immediately, but raised her head and looked at Han Zhuo seriously.
There was deep concern revealed in those eyes.
There is also an indescribable affection.
She said to Han Zhuo, "Erlang, I know you have a heavy burden on your shoulders. You are ambitious and want to work for the country and the people, but you must remember to be careful in everything you do."
"Put your own safety first and never act rashly, like you did before."
Han Zhuo could feel the moisture and warmth of Yang Paner's soft hand as she grasped his palm.
At the same time, there is a strong and unbreakable affection revealed in the eyes.
Han Zhuo couldn't help but say at this moment: "Sister-in-law is wrong."
