Chapter 2064 Retribution
Chapter 2064 Retribution
General Dong didn’t know what Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua were talking. He was looking at Long Ao Ming with nervousness. “Great General Long, about your promise..?”
Long Ao Ming nodded. “You may go, but your title will be revoked and you will not be a general anymore.”
Such a person as a general… one would never feel at ease. Long Ao Ming felt that Shi Long Kingdom was truly a treasure kingdom. There were so many strange people in this kingdom. From the cowardly General Gao to this wolf in sheep clothing General Dong. They were truly not suitable to be a general and yet they were generals.
*sigh*
Forget it, it was not his business either way.
After Long Ao Ming was done, he looked outside and nodded at Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua who came to him. “The officials and Imperial Family has been secured?”
“They’re in the Imperial Palace, Father.”
“How about the other soldiers?”
“General Yu is taking care of them,” Long Qian Xing replied calmly. Naturally, he and Nan Hua tossed this job to Yu Jin and had no intention to take care of it by themselves. Anyway, Yu Jin also volunteered to take this job.
Long Ao Ming nodded. He looked at the two people in front of him for a moment and then handed over a scroll to Long Qian Xing’s hand. “You keep this.”
Long Qian Xing looked at the scroll in his hand and nodded solemnly. He knew very well that this was what Emperor Yang Zhou was searching from the other kingdoms in order to legitimately conquer the other kingdoms.
It is important. Nan Hua looked at the scroll and then moved her eyes away. She was not interested in these things. “I’ll settle the officials. Have you found the two prime ministers?” Long Ao Ming asked.
The highest ranked officials were the prime minister. It was obvious that the two prime ministers were the few people whom they had to look first. After all, the prime minister held the most power in the court.
Emperor Shi Wang might be only a puppet emperor, but it didn’t mean that he was stupid. He had to elect people who were strong enough and had enough power and voice in the court.
Aside from Heavenly General Sang, who held the power because of his capability and history as the Heavenly General, there were two more people. “Prime Minister Zhi and Prime Minister Dou have been found.” Long Qian Xing thought for a moment. “But you might not want Prime Minister Dou at all.”
When they found that cowardly prime minister, he was hiding away, hoping that he would not be found. But comparing an ordinary people with highly skilled martial artist, it was impossible for them not to found Prime Minister Dou.
Thus, they dragged the cowardly Prime Minister Dou, who screamed that he would give up his power so easily back to the court.
To be honest, his appearance was very unsightly that Long Qian Xing wondered whether this person was truly the prime minister. On the other hand, many other officials were calm and only looked at Prime Minister Dou as if they were watching a joke. It seemed that they had long known that Prime Minister Dou was far from reliable and that he was not suited to become the prime minister. “I see.” They went to the court and the soldiers were still securing the officials. Looking at the officials who were standing solemnly at one side and then at Prime Minister Dou, who was so dirty and scrawling on the floor….
Long Ao Ming seemed to understand why Long Qian Xing said that he didn’t want to see Prime Minister Dou at all. “Shi Long Kingdom will be part of Fei Yang Kingdom in the future and there will be officials sent here to manage. Are you going to help or be eliminated?” Long Ao Ming didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.
From the very beginning, Long Ao Ming didn’t have the interest to engage in a long conversation with these officials. It was good enough that they finally managed to conquer Shi Long Kingdom. Prime Minister Zhi stepped forward and cupped his fist. “This lowly official Zhi, the former Prime Minister Zhi of Shi Long Kingdom, is willing to serve Fei Yang Kingdom.”
Prime Minister Zhi has been working hard for Shi Long Kingdom in the past few months and felt that his entire being was being pummeled countless times. The officials were not working together and there were a lot of troubles.
This made Prime Minister Zhi felt rather tired. Now that Shi Long Kingdom had lost, he just made the decision to keep his life. Serve Fei Yang Kingdom. “This official is also willing to serve Fei Yang Kingdom.”
Following Prime Minister Zhi, the other officials started to kowtow on the ground and claimed that they were also willing to serve Fei Yang Kingdom. Even if they knew that their power would be cut down, at least they could keep their lives.
Only by keeping their lives would it be possible for them to do something in the future.
This was what they believed. Long Ao Ming nodded and then glanced at Prime Minister Dou who was still growling on the ground. Prime Minister Dou seemed to realize Long Ao Ming’s gaze and quickly got up and kowtowed. “This minister is also willing to serve Fei Yang Kingdom!”
His dirty look really made one want to look away.
Long Qian Xing looked at Prime Minister Dou and glanced at Nan Hua who shook her head. Nan Hua knew very well that Prime Minister Dou was an official who used his power to gain his own wealth. Keeping this kind of official would only wait for them to be backstabbed. “There’s no need for 2 prime ministers, Father.”
Long Ao Ming glanced at his son and nodded. WIth a wave of his hand, the soldier stepped forward and executed Prime Minister Dou.
