Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked and stared blankly at Mu Haoda who was kneeling on the ground.
Guo Zhengxiong also looked at Mu Haoda with a look of astonishment. He had a bad premonition in his heart, but he was still struggling to his death.
"Mu Haoda, you are stupid. This general asked you to arrest Xuanyuan Mo. What are you doing?"
Glancing at Guo Zhengxiong who was struggling opposite him, Xuanyuan Mo's lips curled up slightly and he said calmly, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Haoda thanked him respectfully.
After getting up, Mu Haoda ignored Guo Zhengxiong's shouting and walked directly to the center of the hall and knelt down on one knee again, "I'm a humble minister who came late to save me. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Mu Haoda's words of "help" directly sent Guo Zhengxiong into hell, and also clearly stated his position.
Those civil and military officials returned from hell to heaven in an instant, but the ministers who had just rebelled were just the opposite. They fell back to hell before they stayed in heaven for a few seconds.
Xuanyuan She was stunned when he heard Mu Haoda's words "Save him". At this moment, there were only three words left in his mind, he was finished, he was completely finished this time.
Guo Zhengxiong raised his eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Lie, his eyes flickering. At this moment, he finally understood the power of Xuanyuan Lie. He promised him the position of general, but let his sons be in the sixth and seventh ranks of captains. If his children and grandchildren were all holding important positions in the army, why would he fall into the hands of Mu Haoda today.
Xuanyuan Lie looked at Mu Haoda on the ground, then raised his eyes and glanced at Xuanyuan Mo who was facing the sun behind him, his eyes flashed slightly, "General Mu came at the right time, what's the crime? I'm exempt from the courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After hearing this, Mu Haoda stood up respectfully and waved to the officers and soldiers behind him.
The officers and soldiers immediately stepped forward to capture Guo Zhengxiong, Xuanyuan She, and Pang Qian.
Guo Zhengxiong twisted his body and resisted desperately, shouting, "Mu Haoda, how dare you disobey military orders."
Mu Haoda looked at Guo Zhengxiong like a clown, with a flash of disdain in his eyes. This old man, who was about to die, still dared to scream here.
A sarcastic smile appeared on his lips, and he sneered, "General Guo, please don't spit on anyone. Mu Mou's loyalty and patriotism can be seen from the sun and the moon. He has never disobeyed military orders. But General Guo, you have been favored by the country, but you have no plans." Reporting, conspiring to rebel, collaborating with the enemy and treason, it can be said that his heart is to be punished."
Hearing this, Guo Zhengxiong stared at Mu Haoda with red eyes, "You wait, you all wait for me, General. Without Mu Haoda, I still have an army of 150,000, and I will definitely kill you all." The body was broken into pieces."
Xuanyuan Mo heard a sneer on his lips, "I remember that I said that the 200,000 troops belong to my White Tiger Kingdom."
Xuanyuan Mo said, directly pulled out the big knife in Mu Haoda's hand, moved to Guo Zhengxiong's side instantly, put the big knife on Guo Zhengxiong's neck, looked at Guo Zhengxiong's frightened eyes, and said coldly, word by word, " That doesn't belong to you."
As the last word "you" fell, the sword in Xuanyuan Mo's hand flew into the air. In an instant, a human head rolled down to Xuanyuan She's feet.
"Ah" looking at the bloody head, Xuanyuan She's legs gave way and he fell to the ground, his face was ashen without a trace of blood.
Everyone looked at this bloody scene with horror on their faces, some timid ones even vomited on the spot, and some rebellious ministers fainted directly.
After cutting Guo Zhengxiong, Xuanyuan Mo walked directly in the direction of Xuanyuan She with a big knife.
"No, no third brother," Xuanyuan She shouted in a panic, while stepping back with a look of horror on his face.
"Father, please save me." Xuanyuan She used all his strength to get up and throw himself at Xuanyuan Lie's feet, "Father, please save me. My third brother wants to kill me."
Xuanyuan She cried and hugged Xuanyuan Lie's thigh with tears and runny nose.
Xuanyuan Mo looked at Xuanyuan She who was crying bitterly and twitched the corner of his mouth. When was he going to kill him, he just took the knife and gave it back to Mu Haoda.
Xuanyuan Mo threw the big knife in his hand towards Mu Haoda, and Mu Haoda immediately reached out to catch it.
Glancing at the clean blade, Mu Haoda was secretly shocked. He chopped off a head, but there was no blood on the blade. This shows that the speed and cultivation of this war prince are beyond the reach of ordinary people. .
Xuanyuan Lie looked at Xuanyuan She at his feet, with a touch of sadness flashing in his eyes. If he had known this, why would he bother at the beginning? If he had no undue desire for the throne, he would definitely let him live a life of wealth and ease.
Although Mo'er was usually as cold as ice, his son knew that if he became the emperor, he would not touch She'er and Hao'er as long as they did not do anything outrageous. But no matter who among them becomes the emperor, they will not let Mo'er go, especially when those two women are still there.
"The eldest prince colluded with foreign ministers and raised an army to rebel. Now he is demoted to a commoner and thrown into the sky prison to be executed at a later date." Xuanyuan Lie looked at Xuanyuan She and said each word.
Xuanyuan She was shocked when he heard this. He raised his eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Lie in disbelief. He wanted to kill him, but he actually wanted to kill him. He thought that no matter what he did wrong, he would at least spare his life.
Xuanyuan Mo, who was under the jade steps, was stunned when he heard Xuanyuan Lie's words. Apparently, he did not expect that Xuanyuan Lie would be so decisive.
Some of the ministers below shook their heads and sighed, some nodded in agreement, some looked regretful, and some looked surprised.
Xuanyuan Lie looked at the shocked Xuanyuan She, with tears faintly flashing in his eyes.
No matter how cowardly or unfulfilled the man kneeling in front of him was, he was still his son. No matter what he did wrong, as a father, he could forgive him. But he is not just a father, he is an emperor first, and a father secondly. As a king, he cannot forgive a person who seeks to usurp the throne, even if this person is his son, and he has to consider Mo'er. , he must clear the way for him. The road to kingship is always so cruel.
Xuanyuan Lie suppressed the reluctance in his eyes, raised his eyes to look at the people below, and said coldly, "Someone, pull the eldest prince down."
Xuanyuan She came back to his senses instantly after hearing the words, clutched Xuanyuan Lie's thigh tightly and cried, "Father, I know my mistake, I really know my mistake, I don't dare to do it anymore, please Father Give me another chance to change my ways."
Before Xuanyuan She finished speaking, two officers and soldiers came up and pulled him down forcefully.
"Father." Xuanyuan She struggled desperately, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of the hands as powerful as iron pincers behind him.
"Third brother, third brother, save me, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die." When passing Xuanyuan Mo, Xuanyuan She took the opportunity to hold his right leg, "Third brother, what I don't want to do is Guo Zhengxiong's inducement I, no, he forced me, I really didn’t want to rebel. Third brother, please beg Father for me, I don’t think about anything else, I just want to live."
Xuanyuan She clung to Xuanyuan Mo while begging bitterly.
Seeing the pleading in Xuanyuan She's eyes, Xuanyuan Mo's eyes flashed slightly. He had known why he would do it today. Now that he has done it, he has to pay the price. Who you are and what your identity is, Wuran, it's all the same.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Mo had no intention of rescuing him, the two officers and soldiers forcibly took Xuanyuan She away with a wink.
Until Xuanyuan She was dragged out of the hall, everyone in the hall could still hear his roar from time to time.
"Father, save me"
"Third brother, I was wrong."
"I don't want to die, I really don't want to die"
There was silence in the hall, and everyone's mood was very complicated.
Xuanyuan Lie looked at Pang Qian at the foot of the jade steps and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Pang Qian was deeply favored by the emperor, but he did not want to repay him. He committed rebellion and conspired to rebel. Now he was reduced from his official position, demoted to a commoner, and his entire family was executed."
Pang Qian closed his eyes in pain when he heard his sentence, and executed everyone in his family. It was his selfish desires that killed the entire family.
He knelt straight on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Xuanyuan Lie, "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness." He knew that being beheaded was the lightest punishment for him.
After Pang Qian kowtowed, someone immediately came forward and pulled him out.
Xuanyuan Lie's cold eyes turned to the dozen or so ministers kneeling on the ground, "Put all of these people into the sky prison and kill them on another day."
Upon hearing this, the dozen or so ministers all shouted in unison, "Spare your life, Your Majesty."
But no matter how they shouted, they couldn't change their fate at this moment. In fact, their fate was already doomed from the moment they stood up to support Xuanyuan She.
This is the end of a farce. After punishing the guilty, it is natural to reward the meritorious.
Xuanyuan Lie glanced at Mu Haoda who was under the jade steps, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Mu Haoda."
"I'm here." Upon hearing this, Mu Haoda immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee.
"Mu Haoda has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion. He is now promoted to the rank of general, with a first-class official rank."
"Thank you Lord for your kindness." Mu Haoda was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately leaned down and kowtowed.
Xuanyuan Lie looked at Mu Haoda who was bending down to kowtow, his eyes flashing slightly. The reason why he was allowed to take over Guo Zhengxiong's position as general was not only because of his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, but also because he was Mo'er's man.
Looking up at Xuanyuan Mo below, a flash of relief flashed in his dark eyes. At least it was good that he had a son.
"The war king Xuanyuan Mo is brave and good at fighting. He has unparalleled strategies and is very brave. He has won my heart. He is now the crown prince, bestowed with treasures and enthroned in the East Palace."
When the ministers heard that the emperor had appointed Prince Zhan as the crown prince, some were surprised, some were happy, and some had disapproval in their eyes, but no one stood up to object. If it were before, there might be ministers who supported the first prince and the second prince to oppose him. However, after the rebellion of the first prince, everyone has seen the strength and iron-blooded skills of Prince Zhan, and no one will stand up at this time. be opposed to.
Hearing that Xuanyuan Lie appointed him as the crown prince, Xuanyuan Mo instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he saw the begging look in Xuanyuan Lie's eyes, he immediately held back the words. Years passed, and at this moment he felt that this aloof man was already old.
Lifting his robe, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you, Father."
After hearing this, all the ministers knelt down and said, "Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty, and your Royal Highness, a thousand lives, a thousand lives, a thousand lives."
