Quick Wear: After Revenge, I and the Immortal King Renew Our Relationship

Han Qi, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, made a passionate appeal, demanding that Qiao Hanzhou be severely punished. Many people followed suit.

Minister of Revenue Fang Lian objected, "Your Majesty, General Qiao has defended our country and fought on the battlefield for many years, making great contributions. Isn't it too hasty to convict him of treason based on just a few letters?"

Yang Shan, the Minister of Rites, said: "Even if you are convicted, you should at least give the general a chance to plead his case! If it is really a misunderstanding, wouldn't it be disheartening to the meritorious official and you will regret it later!"

Someone immediately retorted, "The Emperor is merciful and has given a month's deadline. It's obvious that he is absconding out of fear of punishment and dares not to confront and defend himself!"

"It takes ten days to send a message to the border. Doesn't it take time to travel? If there's a war, it might be delayed for a while!"

"General Gu has already taken over the war, but he's still greedy for military power, right?"

...The two sides were arguing fiercely, just like a noisy vegetable market.

"Enough!" Yuwen Yang shouted, and the hall instantly became quiet.

Yuwen Yang was determined to succeed in this matter. He not only asked the messenger to slow down, but also sent secret guards to ensure that Qiao Hanzhou could not return to the capital alive.

"General Qiao is a loyal and trusted minister of mine. I don't want him to commit treason. But now that the evidence is irrefutable, I cannot side with him. Otherwise, how can I explain myself to the world?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers who advocated severe punishment cheered loudly, like a victorious rooster showing off its power.

Fang Lian and Yang Shan looked at each other, lowered their heads and sighed, feeling sorry for disappointing their beloved daughter.

Yuwen Yang's face was filled with sorrow, as if he had tears in his eyes, as if he was a kind lord who had no choice but to punish a traitor.

"Qiao Hanzhou is guilty of treason and collaborating with the enemy. His crime is unforgivable. I order that he be executed on the spot. All the adult men in his clan will be executed in the autumn. His family and underage descendants will be exiled to the wilderness and will never be allowed to return to the capital. As for the commoner Qiao, they will be exiled..."

"Report! Great victory at the border!"

All the court officials congratulated: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Yu Wenyang's performance had not yet ended when he choked.

He was a little upset, but the situation was already settled and there was no need to rush.

"Messenger!"

The court officials continued to flatter Yuwen Yang, which made him feel happy.

When Xu Yong entered the hall with the big box, he heard someone boasting, "General Gu is indeed of royal blood, a blessing to the royal family!"

He was filled with questions. Who was this Gu?

"Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty, on this great victory at the border! The general led us in a crushing defeat against the Luo Kingdom... no, a crushing defeat. The general bravely slew the enemy marshal, and here he is. The Luo Kingdom has submitted a letter of surrender to Your Majesty."

"Well done! You are indeed my beloved minister! I will reward you handsomely when you return to the court!"

Xu Yong stood up and asked, "I have a question. Who were you talking about just now? Which general has the surname Gu?"

"Of course it's General Gu Yue who led our Qi army to defeat the enemy!"

"Nonsense! When has there ever been a General Gu in our Qiao Army? From the beginning to the end, it was General Qiao Hanzhou who led us to victory!"

Xu Yong glared at me, "You want to steal my military merits and take advantage of me?!"

Xu Yong was tall and muscular, with scars on his face. When he glared at them with angry eyes, the timid civil officials began to get scared.

"What does Lieutenant General Xu mean by this? Didn't the emperor order General Qiao to return to Beijing for trial?" someone who wasn't afraid of death asked, but his voice was trembling.

"Waiting for trial? Are you crazy? The general fought well and committed no crime. Why is he being tried?"

"But isn't General Qiao a traitor?"

Xu Yong's string of rationality completely broke, and he grabbed the man's collar.

"Bullshit! General Qiao fought bravely on the front lines, even with injuries, and you bastards are just here fabricating charges and framing a loyal general! How despicable!"

"Deputy General Xu, calm down!" Many people around tried to persuade him to make peace.

Xu Yong really didn't want to kill someone in public, so he threw the man to the ground to vent his anger.

With a heavy thud, the man fell unconscious on the spot.

It seemed to hit Yuwen Yang's heart, and he fell down on the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, who impeached me for this crime? Who verified it? I demand a confrontation in court!" Xu Yong did not kneel. His eight-foot height brought a strong sense of oppression.

Yuwen Yang swallowed his saliva. He was clearly sitting in a high position, but for some reason he felt that his aura could not match that of a minister.

A man who was almost paralyzed by fear was kicked out. Fang Lian quietly retracted his foot and kept his merit and fame to himself.

"It's you?"

"I, I, I..." Han Qi, the Minister of Justice, secretly glanced at Yuwen Yang, knowing that he would be abandoned, so he decided to go all out.

Suddenly, I found courage. "Hasn't General Qiao been absent for a long time and neglected the war?"

Xu Yong was puzzled again and thought for a long time. "You are not talking about the general who disappeared for several days at Hulao Pass while pursuing the enemy? The general was lucky and only suffered injuries after falling off the cliff."

"Despite this, he still managed to reach the enemy camp and behead the enemy marshal. What? Doesn't it take time to kill the enemy?"

"The general had already made arrangements for the front battlefield, and it was guarded by the military advisor and me. Why did you neglect it? Ah!"

Han Qi's chest heaved violently. "The letters from the Second Prince of the Luo Kingdom are all in the tent. It's a foregone conclusion that General Qiao has contacted him!"

Xu Yongqi smiled and said, "Contact, yes."

Han Qi immediately jumped up, "Your Majesty, he admitted it, he admitted it!"

"Haha, without contact, how can the general chop off his head and even take things from the air?"

Xu Yong opened the box he brought, and the smell of blood filled the air. He grabbed a bloody head and threw it into Han Qi's arms.

"Ahhhh!" Han Qi couldn't stop screaming. He hurriedly threw it away but it was still stained with blood. He was so scared that his pants were almost wet.

"Now that you've had contact with the Second Prince of Luo and even embraced his head intimately, can I accuse you of treason?" Xu Yong glanced at the ministers who were playing dumb. "What do you think?"

Finally, Fang Lian stepped forward to smooth things over. "Your Majesty, this thief Han Qi deceived the emperor and framed loyal officials. He deserves death."

Yuwen Yang recovered, "Yes, yes, yes! I was completely deceived! I have never doubted General Qiao's loyalty to the emperor and his patriotism. Come, take this traitor out and chop him off."

Han Qi, who had collapsed into a pile of mud, was dragged out.

"My dear Xu, you have been traveling for days and have been tired. Go back home and rest first. I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and give an explanation to General Qiao!" Yuwen Yang forced a smile to comfort Xu Yong.

"I hope so! I'll take my leave!" Xu Yong's tone was not very good. He walked away with big strides and a menacing look without even a greeting.

Yuwen Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was annoyed, but he had to maintain his composure.

"Do you have any good ideas, my dear ministers?"
