"I'll die a horrible death? Good! Good! Haha … "Wu Gongling looked up at the sky and laughed loudly.
Everyone around him could sense the meaning in his laughter. It seemed that he wanted to let Hui Qingping know who the one who would die a horrible death was.
However, the cultivators in front of him wouldn't let Wu Gongling kill Hui Qingping without the permission of the sect. They also didn't dare to release Hui Qingping easily, fearing that she would act recklessly.
This mansion was in ruins, and it was impossible to stay for the night. Thus, Wu Gongling led his people back to the palace.
As soon as he returned, there was a big commotion in the palace. The empress was taken back and locked up in prison!
The next news caught everyone off guard.
The empress tried to assassinate the emperor, and the emperor locked her up. How could this be a small commotion?
Wu Gongling didn't plan to hide it. He wanted to kill Hui Qingping!
Regardless of whether he used Hui Qingping in the past or not, he had enough of this woman now. He could be called a commander-in-chief of an army or an emperor, but all of these could be removed. Even the title of a man could be removed. He was just a male, and one with very obvious male characteristics. He was the kind of person who had a strong desire to mate with females.
Of course, he was a human, after all. He didn't want to kill his wife even if he couldn't stand it.
However, what happened today had exceeded his bottom line. He had been on the battlefield for half of his life, and it was almost instinctive for him to make prompt decisions.
Previously, he had felt that Hui Qingping was holding him back. Not to mention the matter of women, she had helped him get to the throne, so she felt that everything was natural.
She was a cultivator and was good at fighting, so she was very domineering.
She could slap Wu Gongling in the face when she was angry. Wu Gongling had been slapped to the ground by Hui Qingping more than once, and he was stunned many times.
Perhaps it was because she had been an elder of the Goddess Sect and had been influenced by power, so she couldn't help but intervene in some matters. Perhaps it was because she felt that since she was Wu Gongling's wife and Wu Gongling had been helped by her, it was natural for her to take some of Wu Gongling's power.
Wu Gongling was disgusted by the fact that she treated state affairs as family affairs, and he was worried that this would encourage this woman's ambition in the long run.
Of course, the woman aspect was also a very important reason. For a dignified emperor like him to forever restrain his primal desires and only protect this old woman, he could not do it. He had worked hard for half his life, but the result was not as good as when he was a general. Then why did he work so hard?
In short, he had long noticed that a woman like Hui Qingping could not be a normal Empress. It was impossible for Hui Qingping to be a well-behaved Empress who guarded the harem.
Taking this opportunity, he had to make a prompt decision!
As soon as he returned to the palace, he immediately executed Hui Qingping without mercy!
The reason why they could not directly kill her was because the cultivators had stopped them. After all, this was the Empress of a nation. This was a major matter, and they could not make a move without the permission of the Song Nation's three major sects. The people from the three great sects who were stationed here had already protected Hui Qingping. They were afraid that Wu Gongling would cause trouble, so they urgently asked for the sect's decision.
In this regard, Wu Gongling knew that the three major sects would not have any objections if he killed Hui Qingping. He guessed that the three major sects would kick aside Tong Xian Pavilion, not to mention Hui Qingping. This was because the three major sects did not want Wu Gongling to have other cultivators around him. They wanted to monopolize Wu Gongling.
The three major sects were only worried about Hui Qingping's identity as the Empress. In addition, they needed Wu Gongling to stabilize the situation in the Song Nation, so they temporarily held back and did not want to make things too awkward for Wu Gongling. Now that Wu Gongling had taken the initiative to kill her, how could the three major sects object?
What was going on? Once the news spread, all the officials in the imperial court were shocked. Not only the officials, but even the generals under Wu Gongling were shocked. The Great General wanted to kill his wife?
The next morning, Wu Gongling, who rarely went to court, attended the morning assembly. This was what he talked about.
Prime Minister Zi Pingxiu was the first to persuade Wu Gongling. He said that killing without reason would have a great impact and might shake the nation. He asked Wu Gongling to think twice.
The thoughts of these officials were different from the cultivators of the three major sects. These officials were more concerned about governing the nation.
However, at this time, the Song Nation had just been rebuilt. There were many things that had yet to take shape. The system of benefits had yet to take shape. This was the time when Wu Gongling's restrictions were the least. Wu Gongling could do whatever he wanted. No one could do anything to him.
After the court was dismissed, Zi Pingxiu rushed back to the Prime Minister's Residence angrily. He went straight to Jia Wuqun's courtyard.
Jia Wuqun was sitting in a pavilion reading a book. When he saw the angry Prime Minister sitting opposite him, he put down his book and dipped his brush in ink. He wrote a few words on a piece of paper and showed it to him. "You didn't listen to my advice?"
Zi Pingxiu said, "It's good that you listened to my advice. This is nonsense. He even killed the Empress. Won't everyone be in danger in the future? "
Jia Wuqun waved his brush and wrote again. "He doesn't even care. Why is the Prime Minister worried?"
Zi Pingxiu sighed. "Sir, the Song Emperor killed the Empress in a fit of rage after she caught the adulterer. If this gets out, it will be a huge joke. Not only will it affect the internal affairs of the nation, but it will also affect the diplomatic relations of the various nations. He doesn't care. He only cares about the result. When the time comes, he will say, 'If you can't do it, you can go back to farming.' Isn't … isn't he looking for trouble for me? "
Seeing that Zi Pingxiu cared so much, Jia Wuqun was silent. He picked up his brush and wrote again. "The Prime Minister can go and see the Tong Xian Pavilion's Sect Master, Dan Dongxing. Let him persuade the Emperor. It might be effective."
Zi Pingxiu was silent for a while. He said doubtfully, "Dan Dongxing is on the same side as His Majesty. Will Dan Dongxing force His Majesty's decision?"
Jia Wuqun wrote again and showed Zi Pingxiu the contents on the board. "Because of this, the three major sects don't want to see other forces around His Majesty. It's not that they don't want to make a move. The Tong Xian Pavilion is in danger. With the help of the officials, the Tong Xian Pavilion will be happy to see it. If the Prime Minister goes, Dan Dongxing will definitely give him face."
Zi Pingxiu was deep in thought, but he still had some doubts. "His Majesty is stubborn. Will it be useful for Dan Dongxing to persuade him?"
Jia Wuqun wrote for Zi Pingxiu. "Dan Dongxing followed Cangzhou's army all the way. Compared to the Song officials and the three major sects, Wu Gongling is closer to Dan Dongxing. Dan Dongxing will say some words. It will be more effective than others. There is no harm in giving it a try!"
After that, he wrote down some words of persuasion for Zi Pingxiu.
Zi Pingxiu nodded repeatedly. He didn't say much and didn't delay. He immediately stood up and left.
He couldn't afford to delay. He knew that Wu Gongling didn't touch Hui Qingping now because he was waiting for the three major sects' reply. If he didn't stop him before the three major sects replied, the Song Empress would be caught red-handed and killed.
Just as Jia Wuqun expected, after Zi Pingxiu found the Tong Xian Pavilion's Sect Master, Dan Dongxing, he was a little hesitant. However, he agreed to give it a try in the end. He couldn't guarantee whether he would succeed or not.
The reason why he hesitated was that he knew Wu Gongling wanted to kill Hui Qingping. Whether he stopped him or not, Hui Qingping's life or death wouldn't affect him.
The reason why he agreed to give it a try was to give face to Zi Pingxiu, the head of the officials.
Dan Dongxing obeyed Zi Pingxiu's request and immediately went to the palace to find Wu Gongling. He told Zi Pingxiu's words of persuasion to Wu Gongling.
The reason was also very simple. Dan Dongxing said, "Everyone in the world says that you killed your elder brother. Now that you killed your wife, wouldn't that prove that you killed your elder brother? How would the world see you?"
Wu Gongling hesitated. He had some misgivings. He had always denied killing his elder brother.
In the end, Wu Gongling changed his decision. He didn't kill Hui Qingping, but he couldn't let her off the hook. He had already made his move, so he wouldn't give Hui Qingping a chance to turn things around.
He abolished Hui Qingping, the Empress, and imprisoned her for life!
As for Hui Qingping's right-hand men, they were chopped off by Wu Gongling. Hui Qingping's female disciples were all killed by him.
At this point, none of the traitors of the Goddess Cult had a good ending.
Hui Qingping could only watch helplessly as her disciples were taken away and punished. She couldn't do anything about it. She cried bitterly in prison, regretting that she had betrayed her sect because of her greed.
She had been used by Wu Gongling, and Wu Gongling had burned her bridges after crossing the river. At least, that was how she saw it. She cursed Wu Gongling to death, and in the end, she was powerless. She sat alone in a corner of the cell, staring blankly.
The Empress' beauty was like a fleeting cloud. It came and went as quickly as it came, like a dream.
When he made this decision, Wu Gongling didn't even discuss it with the court officials. He directly issued the decree during the morning assembly the next day. Before issuing the decree, he had already killed Hui Qingping's disciples, cutting off Hui Qingping's wings first.
After returning from the morning assembly, Zi Pingxiu went to Jia Wuqun again and shook his head with a bitter smile.
Jia Wuqun seemed a little surprised. He wrote, "You still want to kill her?"
Zi Pingxiu: "Her life is saved. Abolish the Empress! You directly issued the decree without any discussion. "
Jia Wuqun wrote quickly for him to see, "How did the court officials react?"
Zi Pingxiu sighed and said, "The reaction this time is not big! His Majesty said that Hui Qingping is not worthy of the throne. He wants to choose a virtuous and virtuous woman from the court officials to be the Empress. His Majesty seems to be reckless, but he is actually very good at it. All the court officials are tempted, and no one has any objections. I guess they will try their best to help His Majesty calm down the aftermath of this matter to please His Majesty! "
Jia Wuqun frowned slightly and raised his pen to ask, "Is the Prime Minister tempted?"
Zi Pingxiu stroked his beard and sighed. "It doesn't matter who I marry. Having an Empress in my family is of great significance. Who wouldn't be tempted? It's just that I still need to consider who is suitable for the marriage among my family's daughters. " His sigh seemed to be a pity that he no longer had a suitable daughter to marry, so he could only find one from his relatives.
Jia Wuqun: "Prime Minister, please think twice!"
Zi Pingxiu was slightly startled. "Does Sir think it's inappropriate?"
Jia Wuqun advised, "The Butterfly Dream Realm is open but not closed, it's against common sense! The sudden increase of rogue cultivators in Tiandu's secret realm, the war between Song, Han, Yan, and Zhao, the destruction of Zhao, the change of Song, the gradual return of Wei and Xuanwei to the ruler, and the emergence of the Saint State training, all these major events must be extraordinary. It's a sign of great change in the world! There has been no great change in the world for a long time, and the demons and ghosts have been accumulating for too long. All these signs, I'm afraid the nine Supreme Martial Artists have their own ideas. At this time, the Prime Minister needs to observe the changes and not get too involved. In the current Song, people kill their brothers and destroy their wives, and are extremely heartless. It's normal for people to abandon those who cling to them. You can't rely on this. The Prime Minister can't be tied down by them. Keep a distance and wait for an opportunity to act. Only then can you ensure the safety of the Zi Mansion in this chaotic world.
I hope the Prime Minister will understand! "Zi Pingxiu's eyelids twitched. He stood up and paced back and forth for a while before suddenly sitting down again. He hesitated and said," If everyone is fighting for the Empress position, won't I be too calm and make him suspicious? "
