Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost
Chapter 291: Imprisonment Awaiting Trial
In the blink of an eye, another four months passed.
In order to urge Lu Xunhuan to return to Longzhou, His Majesty the King has already issued eight golden medals.
In his anger, he wanted to send an imperial envoy to Kyoto to execute Lu Xunhuan.
But I also heard that all the masters of Taiqing Sect went to Kyoto City and lived in the Shogun's Mansion.
There was nothing he could do.
However, the taxes paid every month in Kyoto and Luocheng are constantly increasing.
Now the total amount of taxes paid by the former territory of the entire East Yan is not even enough for Luo City, let alone Kyoto.
His Majesty the King felt both angry and conflicted as he looked at the huge pile of silver filling the treasury.
Money, who doesn’t want it?
To be honest, before the Western Expedition, the treasury was almost empty, and in order to seize those two pieces of land, all of Dong Yan's savings were used up.
Today, the treasury is full, all thanks to the two states that were taken back.
This shows that the policies formulated by Lu Chenglong there are very good.
But even if the two states made a lot of money, he, Lu Chenglong, disobeyed the order and did not respect His Majesty the King, and he deserved to die.
Besides, there have been rumors that Lu Chenglong is not from Dongyan, but from Zhou Dynasty.
He may have used an imposter to take part in the provincial examination in Nanjun.
His Majesty the King sent a special person to Nanjun to investigate, but after several investigations, he was still unable to confirm whether he was Lu Chenglong.
He then ordered the arrest of Lu Chenglong's brother, sister-in-law, nephews, nieces and others, and escorted them to Longzhou City.
Spring is already here in Kyoto, with flowers blooming everywhere and the scenery is picturesque.
Longzhou City sent another imperial envoy, who handed Lu Xunhuan the ninth gold medal.
"General Lu, this is the ninth gold medal! His Majesty is furious and wants to exterminate your entire clan."
Lu Xun Huan asked, "I've earned so much money for him, why does he have to give out gold medals over and over again? Isn't it good to have more money? With money, our country will be stronger and we can compete with Southern Liang and Western Chu."
"He doesn't understand this, is he a fool?"
The imperial envoy was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees.
"General, if you were His Majesty and a general disobeyed orders, what would you think? Would you worry that he would rebel?"
He shook his head and sighed, "General, your brother, sister-in-law and their family of five have been captured and taken to Longzhou City. If you don't go back, they..."
Lu Xun Huan touched his chin and said, "I really can't stand it. Okay, I'll go back tomorrow."
Fifteen days later, Lu Xunhuan brought a group of veterans who were willing to go back to Longzhou with him. They all had families in Dongyan, about 30,000 people, and arrived at Longzhou City in a mighty force.
Beside him, in addition to Elder Liu and Elder Long who had protected him before, there were also all the masters of Taiqing Sect.
In fact, he is not afraid even without everyone's support.
During the ten months he stayed in Kyoto, he practiced on a daily basis and reached another level.
Now, he has reached the seventh level of Qianyuan Realm.
Combined with the attributes he possesses, when he displays them, no immortal in the world can threaten him.
Outside the west city gate, Crown Prince Yan Bei came to greet him in person.
When they met, Yan Bei's first words were: "What are you doing? Don't you want to go back to Longzhou City to work?"
Lu Xunhuan smiled.
"After the war, the population of those two states dwindled and the land became barren. I must develop them quickly."
"Otherwise, if those two states connected to Southern Liang and Western Chu don't become stronger, it will be hard to be at ease."
Crown Prince Yan Bei whispered, "This Crown Prince understands, but it's nine gold medals. You've pissed off my father..."
Lu Xunhuan asked quietly, "Is your Majesty in good health?"
Yan Bei said, "Thanks to you, everything is fine."
Lu Xunhuan knew in his heart that the prince was blaming him.
It has been so long, and His Majesty the King is still well.
When will this prince, who wants to realize his ambitions, be able to ascend to the throne?
He looked towards the city wall and said, "Let's stop talking and go see His Majesty."
His Majesty the King sat on the high throne and finally saw the damn Lu Chenglong.
He slammed the jade table heavily.
"You've rebelled. My words are no longer effective, right? You've grown wings, right? You only came back after receiving the Nine Gold Medals. Why didn't you let me come and pick you up in person?"
Lu Xun Huan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, after the war, almost all the young laborers in those two states died, leaving vast tracts of farmland uncultivated."
"And Southern Liang and Western Chu are eyeing us covetously. This humble official is quite worried."
"Therefore, we must put in all our efforts to develop the two states first."
The king shouted, "Asshole, don't I know what's going on? Why are you messing around there?"
"I told you to seize the two states quickly, but you dragged your feet. With an army of 300,000 and two months of supplies, you almost brought down our Eastern Yan. Do you acknowledge your guilt?"
Lu Xun Huan said, "Your Majesty, when our army first arrived, the enemy still had many manpower. Moreover, Kyoto City was not only defended by troops, but also by immortal disciples helping to defend the city."
"If my 300,000-man army attacks by force, the consequences will be disastrous. If we suffer heavy losses and fail to capture the city, Southern Liang and Western Chu will seize the opportunity and attack, and all our efforts will be wasted."
His Majesty the King slammed the jade table again and said, "Nonsense! It's clearly your incompetence. Stop making so many excuses."
"Come here, take him to the prison and wait for his punishment."
Crown Prince Yan Bei quickly stepped forward and said, "Father, this cannot be allowed. Lu Chenglong has made remarkable achievements in developing those two states, and they are obvious to all. Even if he made a mistake, his merits and demerits can offset his guilt."
Minister Wen also stepped forward and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, calm down. The silver in the treasury has exceeded 100 million taels, it really is piled to the sky."
The king said angrily, "You only have silver in your eyes all day long, right? Come, reward him with 10 million taels of silver and use the silver to crush him to death."
All the civil and military officials in the court changed color when they heard this.
Everyone stood up and pleaded for Prime Minister Wen.
At this time, the chief eunuch came forward to report: "Your Majesty, the newly selected beauties have been sent to the harem."
His Majesty the King stood up and said, "Everyone, please stop talking. Prime Minister Wen may live, but Lu Chenglong must be imprisoned and await trial."
After saying this, he left in a hurry.
The prince felt rather helpless. He sighed and said to Lu Xunhuan, "Lu Chenglong, I'm sorry to ask you to stay in jail for a while. I won't let anything happen to you."
Lu Xunhuan took off his armor in front of everyone.
"Your Highness, there are some treacherous ministers in the court who are constantly deceiving Your Majesty and bringing disaster to the country and the people. Your Highness, if you give the order, I will execute them immediately."
Yan Bei hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Don't do this."
Lu Xunhuan threw down his armor, turned around, and strode out.
"My hair is standing on end with anger. I lean on the railing. The rain has stopped. I look up and let out a long cry to the sky, my heart filled with passion..."
……
All the civil and military officials in the court felt as if a stone was blocking their hearts when they heard him recite "Man Jiang Hong", and they were filled with indescribable sadness.
The prince sighed and said to a general, "Go and lead the troops to protect Lu Chenglong. Anyone who dares to approach his cell will be killed without mercy. Let the soldiers taste the water and food sent in first."
The general saluted: "Yes, Your Highness."
Yan Bei added, "If he gets hurt, you will be buried with him."
