Chapter 256 Lingchi execution
Zhao Bencai said loudly in the Hall of Supreme Harmony:
"This Dafeng Kingdom has lost Zhenbei King Hongxuan, so no matter what I do now, no one can change it!"
That is the fundamental problem.
The Dafeng Kingdom no longer has the King of Zhenbei, so the ministers have no way out. Many institutions need the King of Zhenbei to be in charge. Even the current emperor does not have as much prestige as the King of Zhenbei.
But when the King of Zhenbei had already died in Yingzhou.
When this news reached back to the Dafeng Kingdom, it caused a huge sensation; they did not believe it at first.
But later his three queens came out to testify that King Zhenben did die in Yingzhou.
I heard that he committed suicide by jumping into a well.
When the news of this death reached Dafeng Kingdom, the whole country was in grief, which led to Zhao Bencai easily regaining the military power of the entire Dafeng Kingdom.
The method used by Zhao Bencai is actually the same method used by Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan.
Integrating the army is the first step. He places his own capable assistants in various military departments and firmly controls the entire army.
After Zhao Bencai finished all this.
He sent out the message that he wanted to become emperor to the people and officials of the entire Dafeng Kingdom.
When this information was released, Zhao Bencai's subordinates were very supportive of him.
The Emperor Dingwen of Dafeng Kingdom had long lost any prestige, let alone with the enemy approaching.
That's why Zhao Bencai basically didn't have to put in much effort to take over the entire Dafeng Kingdom.
No one expected that Zhao Bencai, the capable subordinate of the King of Zhenbei, would rebel.
In fact, this is not something that is hard to understand. The soldiers following Zhenbei King Hongxuan are too capable.
When the King of Zhenbei was still alive, none of them dared to show their heads. But now that the King of Zhenbei is gone, there is no one who can restrain them.
Just when Zhao Bencai was enjoying his days in the palace.
King Hongxuan of Zhenbei has returned to the territory of Dafeng Kingdom on a warship.
When the King of Zhenbei came to Fuzhou again, the officials of Fuzhou were extremely shocked and delighted.
"The King of Zhenbei is not dead! The King of Zhenbei is still alive! What Zhao Bencai said is a rumor!"
A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Almost all the soldiers obey my orders, and Zhao Bencai's prestige and influence are gone.
What's more, King Hongxuan of Zhenbei led an army of 100,000 back.
The troops that originally belonged to Zhao Bencai defected to the army of King Zhenbei.
In fact, these troops were originally the troops of the King of Zhenbei. It was only at this critical moment that Zhao Ben rebelled.
When Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan heard the news of Zhao Bencai's rebellion, he was overjoyed:
"Zhao Bencai actually rebelled. Haha, this really makes me laugh to death!"
"What virtue and ability does Zhao Bencai have to dare to rebel? This king can just kill the chicken to scare the monkey!"
He obtained the power of the five elements and wanted to display its power on the battlefield. This was a good opportunity.
When he arrived in Fuzhou, Zhenbei King Hongxuan reorganized the Qilin Guard.
The number of Qilin Guards reached 10,000.
"Qilin Guards! Spread the news that the king has returned!"
When Qilin Guard heard what King Zhenbei said.
They quickly spread the information that King Zhenbei was still alive. The news that King Zhenbei Hongxuan was not dead soon spread throughout the entire Dafeng Kingdom, and the imperial palace also soon received such news.
Inside the palace, Zhao Bencai originally lived a life of luxury, debauchery and extravagance.
Suddenly, the eunuch he promoted ran over in a hurry and said to Zhao Bencai:
"Commander Zhao, King Zhenbei is not dead. King Zhenbei has been resurrected!"
Zhao Bencai, who was enjoying himself, jumped up from his couch with a look of horror:
"What did you say? You said King Zhenbei is not dead! No, how is that possible! I saw King Zhenbei jump into the magic well with my own eyes."
Zhao Bencai felt like he was in a difficult situation.
He quickly put on his clothes and fled from the harem as if escaping for his life.
"In this Dafeng Kingdom, Zhao Bencai doesn't take anyone seriously, except the King of Zhenbei. He is close to the King of Zhenbei and knows how powerful the King of Zhenbei is."
There was no time to care about anything now, Zhao Bencai fled towards the army, he wanted to control the military power.
But I never expected it.
Zhao Bencai was surrounded by his subordinates before he even left the palace. These subordinates originally belonged to the Qilin Guard.
It was just that after Zhenbei King Hongxuan left, they no longer had a sense of belonging, so they turned to Zhao Bencai.
But now the Prince of Zhenbei has returned. Everyone in Dafeng knows that the Prince of Zhenbei is a military god who has never lost a battle.
No one dared to go against Zhenbei King Hongxuan, and all those who went against Hongxuan died without exception.
Soon, Zhao Bencai was taken under control.
In fact, he had wanted to go to the military camp before. To control military power was tantamount to seeking death. Zhao Bencai did not realize that now that the King of Zhenbei had returned, who would listen to his orders and commands?
The King of Zhenbei led his army directly back to the imperial city from Fuzhou.
When he returned to the imperial city, soldiers reported to him.
"Zhenbei King Zhao Bencai has been captured!"
After hearing the news, Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan felt very disappointed:
"How did Zhao Bencai get caught? Bring him to the main hall."
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, King Hongxuan of Zhenbei sat high on the dragon throne. Although only a few short months had passed, Zhao Bencai had raised an army this time and killed many members of the royal family, including Emperor Dingwen Hongjing who was sitting on the throne.
When Zhao Bencai ruled the entire Dafeng Kingdom, did you seriously consider whether to save Emperor Dingwen Hongjing's life?
He believed that Emperor Dingwen Hongjing's life must not be spared. If his life was saved, there would be no change in the Dafeng Kingdom. If he wanted to be the emperor himself.
When Hongxuan saw Zhao Bencai.
Zhao Bencai's face was filled with fear.
Hongxuan smiled and said:
"I thought I was going to fight you to the death, but I didn't expect you to be caught after I just spread some rumors. I'm really disappointed!"
Zhao Bencai said with fear trembling all over.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for my many military exploits over the years. I will never dare to do it again!"
Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan smiled and said.
"Never dare again? Why would you not dare? Just think that I am dead when I jump into the magic well. What you have done these days has basically slaughtered all the royal family of my Great Feng Kingdom. It shows how cruel you are at heart!"
"If I leave someone like you here, how much harm will it cause? The Qilin Guards will execute this person by slow slicing."
King Hongxuan of Zhenbei not only wanted to kill Zhao Bencai, but also wanted to torture him to death.
"Follow the order!"
The Qilin Guards took Zhao Bencai away and brought him to the Tianlao in the imperial palace to be executed by slow slicing.
The news that Zhenbei King Hongxuan killed Zhao Bencai quickly spread throughout the Dafeng Dynasty. This turmoil was finally over and the imperial power of Dafeng was stabilized again.
