As for whether to kill Duke Ming Wei, there was a huge disagreement within Søren's group.
Other than Princess Si Yan, almost everyone was against killing Ma Yingwei. This was because Ma Yingwei's status was too high, and the bloodline of the royal family was already so thin. If they killed another one, even if Duke Ling Ting and Ma Yingwei were not on good terms, they would still feel uneasy.
Not only that, the reason why the King Ming Wei had such a bad reputation with the nobles was because the battle for the throne was too bloody. Three out of six princes died.
Today, when Sauron killed Si Wei, it was easy to recall that scene.
Many people thought it was strange that Si Wei survived the battle for the throne that day, but he died under Sauron's sword.
Moreover, Søren had not yet become the regent, but he had already killed the king's brother. When he became the regent, would he slaughter the entire Ming family and usurp the throne?
Therefore, Suo Ningbing, who almost never expressed an opinion, Yan Nai'er, who followed Søren's lead, aunt Yan Chuo'er, father-in-law Yan Yan, and Søren's retainers all opposed killing Duke Ming Wei.
Everyone suggested that Ming Wei be put under house arrest for life.
Princess Jung Yeon did not speak because she was the monarch. Once she disagreed with Søren, the consequences would be very serious.
Deep down, she also did not want Søren to kill Ming Wei. This would be too disadvantageous to Søren's reputation.
Finally, Søren revealed the biggest reason to kill Ming Wei. It was Duke Turingtuo.
Ming Wei and Turingtuo were Zhi Li's right and left arms. Because they were born in the royal family, Duke Ming Wei's status was even higher than Turingtuo's.
With Ming Wei, Zhi Li could firmly suppress Duke Turingtuo. Turingtuo did not dare to disobey any of Zhi Li's orders.
And after Søren killed Ming Wei, Turingtuo became Zhi Li's only pillar.
The Hidden Island was very powerful and controlled the world's economic lifeline. However, money alone was not enough. Political power came from swords and guns.
Originally, Zhi Li had two sabers in his hands, one was Xi Wei and the other was Tu Ling Tuo. Now, only Turin Tuo was left.
Then the following situation between Turin Tuo and Zhi Li would be the slave bullying the master.
Zhi Li held the position of the Dragon Guards Great Commander in name, but it was just a title after all. The entire Dragon Guards were Turing Tuo's men.
There was also the Northern Border Army and the Southern Border Army. Tu Lingtuo's disciples were spread across every army.
If Søren killed Si Wei, Turin Tuo would be too powerful to deal with, and he would be able to disobey Zhi Li's orders!
Not only that, Søren's killing of Ma Wei was also a warning to the rest, to intimidate Turin Tuo.
He was warning him not to take the road too far!
If he could kill Ma Yingwei, it didn't mean that he couldn't kill Tu Lingtuo!
Therefore, the first goal of killing Si Wei was to drive a wedge between Turin Tuo and Zhi Li. The second goal was to seize the Southeast Province!
Søren's reason completely convinced everyone.
After all, the biggest goal now was to force Turin Tuo to retreat. And killing Si Wei could push Turin Tuo to retreat with the greatest force.
Then, Princess Jung Yeon took the initiative to take over this matter, and personally wrote the decree to kill Si Wei. In the name of the king, she asked the great eunuch Gao Yin to issue the decree, and finally, she personally decided Si Wei's punishment.
Her goal was to take on Sauron's reputation as the one who killed Ling Wei.
To let the world know that Si Wei was killed by her, Jung Yeon, and not by Søren.
But how could Søren be so cowardly that he let a woman bear this reputation for him?
Therefore, he personally executed Duke Meng Wei.
Therefore, there was the scene of Søren personally executing Duke Si Wei!
This was also good, to let everyone see that Søren and Jung Yeon were united as husband and wife.
…
After beheading Duke Si Wei.
The sentence continued. The great eunuch Gao Yin read out one decree after another.
Prince Si You was imprisoned for life for helping the evildoer.
"The Earl of Linhai, the Lord of Linhai City, Gui Xingfu, trampled on the 'Stony Island Agreement' and started a war for no reason. His crime is unforgivable. The Earl of Linhai and the Lord of Linhai City are stripped." The great eunuch Gao Yin looked at Gui Xingfu and said, "Are you willing to accept the punishment?"
Gui Xingfu kowtowed heavily, "I am willing to accept the punishment!"
He tore up the previously signed authoritative agreement and started a war without authorization. He should have been sentenced to death.
But considering that he did not declare war without a declaration, he took the initiative to seek the opinion of the King and the Young Emperor before starting the war, and obtained the Young Emperor's decree. Tianshui City's Suo Clan also publicly accepted the war.
Therefore, Gui Xingfu could be exempted from the death penalty. He was only stripped of the Earl of Linhai and the Lord of Linhai City.
Gao Yin asked on behalf of the King, "Gui Xingfu, I heard that you started a war against the Suo Clan of Tianshui City with the consent of the Young Emperor Zhi Li. Do you have his official decree?"
"Yes." Gui Xingfu said, and then respectfully presented the decree that Zhi Li gave him.
In this way, this decree could be considered as Zhi Li's crime!
Gao Yin asked on behalf of the King, "Linhai City cannot be without a ruler for a day. Choose one of your children to inherit the Earl of Linhai and the Lord of Linhai City. I will pass the title to His Majesty on your behalf and wait for his approval and title!"
Gui Xingfu kowtowed again and said, "My three sons are involved in this unjust war. Only my daughter, Gui Qinshao, is pure and unblemished. I am willing to appoint Gui Qinshao as the Earl of Linhai and the heir to the Lord of Linhai City. I ask for Your Majesty's approval!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the captives changed again.
Ashita Liren was the first female Duchess, and Gui Qinshao became the second.
Then wouldn't it be natural for Princess Jung Yeon to ascend the throne in the future?
Gao Yin said, "I will pass on this to His Majesty the King!"
Then, the eunuch Gao Yin was about to leave.
Suddenly, Gui Xingfu kowtowed and said, "Gao Weng, please wait, I still have something important to report."
The eunuch Gao Yin was startled. His gaze towards Gui Xingfu also became sharp and cold. Could it be that this old thief wanted to complicate matters?
Gui Xingfu said, "Regarding the assassination of Young Lord Zhi Li, this sinner has details to report to His Majesty the King."
Gao Yin said, "Speak!"
Gui Xingfu said, "This sinner's daughter, Gui Qinshao, was married to the Dragon Guards' Cavalry Commander Ling Ao. Young Lord Zhi Li coveted my daughter's beauty and actually asked this sinner for her virginity. This sinner is greedy and wretched, and actually agreed to his unreasonable request. On the night of the wedding, Young Lord Zhi Li tried to molest my daughter. My daughter, Gui Qinshao, is a noble and unsullied person. She would rather die than submit. She pulled out a dagger and stabbed Zhi Li. This is the truth behind the assassination of Young Lord, and it has nothing to do with Count Søren! "
As soon as this was said, the whole crowd was in an uproar!
No one doubted the truth of this matter because Zhi Li was indeed assassinated on the night of Gui Qinshao's wedding. Moreover, it happened right after the wedding ceremony, which coincided with the time of the wedding.
Moreover, Gui Xingfu had also said that he had played the most despicable and lowly role in this scandal.
Then, he presented a small, sharp dagger with both hands and said, "This dagger is the material evidence. My daughter, Gui Qinshao, used this dagger to assassinate Young Lord Zhi Li. There are traces of Zhi Li's blood on it, so it's all evidence!"
Gui Xingfu is really vicious. That day, when Gui Qinshao tried to assassinate Zhi Li, he actually remembered to hide the murder weapon.
At that time, no one thought of snatching Gui Qinshao's murder weapon, nor did they think that the dagger would be of any use.
As for Gui Xingfu, he secretly hid it, so that he could use it against Zhi Li.
That day, he didn't want to fall out with Zhi Li. He only wanted to be Zhi Li's loyal dog, but he was still so scheming. This person was indeed a poisonous snake.
Moreover, in order to save his life, he didn't hesitate to offer a huge proof of allegiance, completely breaking off relations with Zhi Li, and trampling on Zhi Li's face countless times.
Moreover, what reason did Zhi Li use to send Si Wei and Tuling Tuo's army to attack the Suo Clan in Tianshui City?
Wasn't it because Søren was suspected of assassinating Young Lord Zhi Li? This was the crime of treason, which was why Zhi Li could mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to suppress him.
If Søren wasn't guilty of treason, then whoever dared to attack Tianshui City would be subverting the country.
And this action of Gui Xingfu completely cleared the suspicion of Søren.
He exposed the truth of the so-called assassination of the Young Lord to the world, and even presented physical evidence.
Next, they only needed a third-party organization to take the blood sample on the dagger and conduct a dragon blood test. Then, they would be able to determine whether it was Zhi Li's blood.
At that time, the witness and physical evidence would be present, and Zhi Li would have to face the world's first scandal.
And what was even more amazing was that the place where Gui Qinshao stabbed was Zhi Li's penis. This secret matter, Søren and Gui Xingfu didn't say anything, so that Zhi Li didn't dare to completely fall out.
After all, although it was a scandal that he tried to molest Gui Qinshao, it wasn't fatal.
And once it was exposed, his penis would be cut off, and he might not have any descendants. He would be completely doomed to be childless, and the consequences would be severe. It would directly overturn the rationality of him inheriting the throne!
Gui Xingfu was indeed a poisonous snake. Once he bit someone, it went deep into the bones!
…
Inside the Tianshui City Lord's Residence.
Gui Xingfu knelt at Søren's feet and said respectfully, "His Majesty the Regent is wise, especially the fact that Zhi Li's penis was cut off, so that he wouldn't dare to completely fall out. This old servant admires you very much!"
Søren stared coldly at Gui Xingfu and said, "That dagger, you hid it very well."
Gui Xingfu kowtowed and said, "This old servant is ashamed."
Søren said, "You really think highly of Ling Ao. When Zhi Li molested Gui Qinshao, you actually didn't mention a word about Ling Ao."
Gui Xingfu kowtowed heavily and said, "This old servant is guilty!"
Søren looked at him and said, "Remember, Gui Xingfu, you are a poisonous snake. I will only make use of you, but I will never truly use you. Do you understand?"
Gui Xingfu said, "To be used by His Majesty the Regent is my good fortune!"
Søren said, "Men, write a few hundred copies of the edict to behead Si Wei, the edict to strip Gui Xingfu of his title, and Gui Xingfu's confession regarding Young Prince Zhi Li's assassination. Use a hawk to send the letters, and use messengers to send them to every feudal vassal, every noble above viscount, and every county. "
"Understood!" Suo Feiyang who was outside replied.
Gui Xingfu's heart skipped a beat!
Søren was really vicious and ruthless. He exposed the scandal of Zhi Li's attempted molestation of Gui Qinshao and failed, but did not reveal the fact that Zhi Li's manhood was cut. It was all Søren's plan.
Now, he wanted to spread the scandal of Zhi Li to the whole world and completely clear Søren's suspicion of assassinating the Young Prince.
Si Wei's 150,000-strong army was completely annihilated in Tianshui City, Si Wei was beheaded by the King, and the scandal of Zhi Li's assassination. Each of these were earth-shattering events. Now, Søren actually wanted to spread the news to the whole world.
What kind of storm would it cause? It was completely conceivable.
And Zhi Li's face would be trampled by Søren until there was not a single piece of skin left unscathed!
Four hours later!
A few hundred hawks, carrying these earth-shattering news, flew to the whole Raging Wave Kingdom.
A few hundred messengers, riding fast horses, galloped to every province, every county city, and every vassal territory of the Raging Wave Kingdom.
Søren wanted to raise a raging wave to slap Zhi Li.
… …
At this time, Turin Tuo's 200,000-strong army was more than 300 li away from Sky Wolf Pass. They would arrive in two and a half days.
"Your Excellency Duke, Tianshui City's Søren personally wrote a letter!" A messenger came in and delivered a thick stack of letters.
Opening the first letter, Duke Turin Tuo seemed to be frozen.
His eyes suddenly burst open, revealing a look of complete disbelief.
Then, his entire body seemed to be frozen there, completely unable to move.
"This, how is this possible?"
"How is this possible?"
"How is this possible?"
Tu Ningchen said in surprise, "Father, what's wrong?"
Duke Turin Tuo said, "Søren … beheaded Duke Si Wei!"
This letter personally written by Søren had a bloody aura, it was written with Duke Si Wei's blood.
It simply said one thing, Duke Si Wei had been publicly beheaded.
"What … …" Tu Ningchen exclaimed, "This, how is this possible? Did he eat leopard's gall? How could he be so stupid, even the king didn't dare to kill Si Wei, he actually dared to do it? "
"Stupid, impossibly stupid … …" Tu Ningchen laughed loudly, "Everyone says that Søren's intelligence is close to that of a demon, but now it seems that after defeating Si Wei, he became complacent. Our army is at the gates, Søren is like a trapped beast in fear, he has already lost his mind from anger, if the heavens want to destroy him, they must first make him crazy! "
"Pa … …" Duke Turin Tuo slapped him.
"You are the impossibly stupid one," Duke Turin Tuo said angrily, "Don't you think Søren knows how serious the consequences of killing Si Wei are? He killed Si Wei to make me retreat! "
After being slapped, Tu Ningchen covered his face and said, "Retreat? How is that possible? Once we retreat, we will completely anger His Highness Zhi Li, and Søren will definitely die, Tianshui City will be destroyed, why should we retreat? "
Turin Tuo said, "With Si Wei killed, His Highness Zhi Li's right hand man is only me, Turin Tuo. So now, it is not us who needs His Highness Zhi Li, but him who needs me, the slave is bullying the master. Even if I retreat, Zhi Li won't dare to do anything to me. "
Tu Ningchen was startled, that's right, it was indeed so.
Søren killing Si Wei was equivalent to giving Turin Tuo a huge gift.
Turin Tuo said, "Also, he is warning me that if he can kill Si Wei, he can also kill me, he is advising me not to be so ruthless!"
"Hmph …" Tu Ningchen sneered, "Why do we have to listen to him, with our two hundred thousand strong army, how can Søren's tens of thousands of soldiers resist? Right now, Søren is already a skeleton in a grave, his death is near. "
Duke Turin Tuo said, "Pass down my order, the army camp here, stop advancing!"
Tu Ningchen was startled, "Father? Are we really going to retreat? "
"Idiot." Turin Tuo said, "Søren's little tricks can't fool me, he will still be killed, Tianshui City will still be destroyed. But before that, Bufan needs to extort something from His Highness Zhi Li. Søren gave us such a big gift, if we don't use it, we will suffer a loss! "
Turin Tuo was really a cunning and ambitious person, Søren killed Si Wei and forced him to retreat, but not only did he not retreat, he camped here to extort Zhi Li. This was equivalent to him eating Søren's benefits, he still wanted to eliminate Søren!
… …
Royal City Fengdu!
Zhi Li received a thick letter!
The first letter, Duke Si Wei's one hundred and fifty thousand strong army was completely annihilated, he himself was beheaded in public.
The second letter, Gui Xingfu was captured by Søren, stripped of the Count of Linhai and Lord of Linhai City, Gui Qinshao will inherit the position of Lord of Linhai City.
The third letter, Gui Xingfu publicly exposed the truth of Zhi Li's assassination, it was Zhi Li who tried to molest Gui Qinshao, the other party would rather die than comply, stabbed him with a knife, and there were witnesses and material evidence.
After reading these three letters!
Zhi Li's whole body was trembling, then a chill spread from his heart, his whole limbs were completely cold, and he lost consciousness.
Boundless darkness and coldness enveloped him.
Then, there was a sharp pain in his abdomen.
"Puff … …" A mouthful of blood, suddenly spurted out!
Zhi Li's vision turned black, he fainted, unconscious!
