Your fiefdom gains one soldier every second, what should you do, Queen Mother?

Chapter 144: Could it be that the army will grow larger and larger?

"A bunch of useless trash!" Wang Ziyan grabbed the inkstone on the table and smashed it at a eunuch kneeling on the ground.

The eunuch didn't dare to dodge, and the inkstone hit his shoulder with a "crack" sound. The eunuch covered his left arm but still managed to hold back from shouting.

"It's been five days! It's been five days!!" Wang Ziyan shouted hysterically.

"With so many people looking for him, we couldn't even find a single person. What's the point of keeping a bunch of you useless people?"

"Someone come! Take him out and behead him!" Wang Ziyan shouted towards the outside of the hall. As soon as she finished her words, two soldiers entered the hall to capture the eunuch.

"No! Not at all! I really tried my best to find him, but I couldn't find any trace of Master Zishang!" The eunuch kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Not to mention the entire capital, I have also sent people to look for places around the capital. I have dug deep into the ground as the Queen Mother said, and even dug up mass graves!"

The eunuch cried out with tears on his face, "But we haven't found Master Zishang yet! Even those corpses whose faces I couldn't tell were not Master Zishang, I have confirmed with my own eyes!"

"Please spare my life, Queen Mother! I really want to find Master Zishang! Please give me one more day, Queen Mother! I will find him within one day!"

"Since I have worked so hard for so many years, please show some mercy, Your Majesty! Please show some mercy, Your Majesty!"

The soldiers grabbed the eunuch, and one of them grabbed his broken shoulder, causing the eunuch to scream in pain.

Wang Ziyan knew in her heart that this servant had followed her for many years, but now the only thing on her mind was finding Zishang. All those who failed to do their job should die!

If it weren't for these people, how could Zi Shang disappear? How could he be kidnapped? How could he not be found?

Die! These rubbish all deserve to die! Wang Ziyi's eyes were red, she clenched her fists tightly and then punched the table.

"Drag him out! Behead him!" Wang Ziyan said viciously.

As soon as the words fell, two soldiers dragged the eunuch out with expressionless faces.

"Queen Dowager, please spare me! Queen Dowager, please spare me!"

The eunuchs were dragged out of the palace by the soldiers. Dozens or even hundreds of corpses were lying outside the palace. These people were the ones who were beheaded by Wang Ziyi because Zishang could not be found.

Among them were servants, soldiers, generals and even ministers, and some of the bodies had just been killed and the blood had not yet dried.

The eunuch was stepped on the ground by a soldier, while another soldier drew his sword and chopped off his head, which rolled to the ground.

The soldier who was stepping on the eunuch stepped forward and picked up the head, then threw it to the ground with an expressionless face.

During this process, both of them had indifferent expressions on their faces. It was unclear whether they were cold-blooded or had become numb from killing so many people.

A moment later, the soldier in charge of losing the heads came back. When the two were about to go back outside the hall to wait for arrangements, they suddenly noticed a noise behind them.

Although the two men still had no expression on their faces, they had already assumed that the person who came was already a corpse.

However, the person who appeared was Grand Marshal Wang Yi. This time the two soldiers were no longer expressionless. Instead, they stood up with a look of panic on their faces.

Wang Yi did not look at the corpses on both sides as he walked along. He obviously knew that his sister had killed many people in these five days.

But he still frowned, he was curious about who could make his sister lose her composure like this and turn into a murderer.

When Wang Yi approached, they both bowed and said in unison: "Greetings, Grand Marshal!"

Wang Yi stopped, glanced at the two of them, and then covered his nose with his hand and said in a deep voice: "Is the Queen Mother still in there?"

"Reporting to the Grand Marshal, the Queen Mother is still inside. Do you want me to inform her?" the soldier replied.

"No need, you two stay here." After saying that, Wang Yi walked towards the main hall. Before he reached the door, he heard his sister's hysterical roar.

"Ziyin! Have you had enough of making trouble?!" Wang Yi walked into the hall and shouted at Wang Ziyin who was standing on the steps.

Hearing the scolding, Wang Ziyan suddenly turned around. Her eyes were originally full of murderous intent, but she immediately calmed down when she saw that it was her brother.

"What's wrong with you? Who are you looking for? Look at how many people you have killed in these five days?" Wang Yi still looked angry.

"Although everyone in this palace is ours, you've gone a little too far! If this gets out, even if the historians don't dare to write about it, people outside will still say that the current queen mother is a murderer!"

"Guess what the folk history books will say about you? Do you want to bring shame to our Wang family?"

Wang Ziyin sneered and said, "Just kill all of these low-class people."

"You!" Wang Yi pointed at Wang Ziyan but was unwilling to continue talking about this topic. He threw the memorial in his hand in front of Wang Ziyan.

"Since Huang Chan is dead, we can only put the matter of Ying Xuanze aside for now."

"Let him go?" Wang Ziyin said angrily, "Brother, don't you know Ying Xuanze's evil ambitions?"

"Do you think that Huang Chan has no intention of rebellion now that he is dead? He has always been thinking about raising an army to march eastward and put a knife on your neck and mine!"

Wang Ziyi's face was red and her chest was heaving violently. She took a deep breath and wanted to continue speaking but was interrupted by Wang Yi.

"First take a look at what's written on the memorial!" Wang Yi snorted coldly and swung his sleeves.

Wang Ziyan quickly lowered her head, picked up the memorial on the ground and opened it. Her face gradually turned pale as she read the contents.

After reading the memorial, she screamed and tore it to pieces. On one of the torn pages, it was written:

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, since Huang Chan is dead, I will not clean up the emperor's side. By the way, I would like to remind the Queen Mother that although the biggest traitor is dead, his followers cannot be ignored!"

On another fragment, it was written: "In the case of Prime Minister Chen, does the Queen Mother still remember the 193 innocent lives that were killed?"

Although it was only this one sentence, it was this short sentence that completely broke down Wang Ziyi's defense.

The person she was longing to find was right beside Ying Xuanze at this moment, and she also learned all the details of Chen Jieren's treason from Zishang.

After screaming, Wang Ziyin sat on the ground somewhat helplessly. Wang Yi frowned and said in a deep voice: "Now that Huang Chan is dead, Ying Xuanze will not start to purge the emperor's entourage."

"Now, people all over the world praise him for being the reason why righteous people dared to assassinate Huang Chan."

"Except for failing to use the excuse of clearing the court of evil officials to rebel, Ying Xuanze has achieved all his other goals. We will also reward him for his contribution in annihilating the Hu tribe this time."

At this point, Wang Yi sighed twice in succession: "Huang Chan's death has completely messed up our plan, sister! It's time to calm down! Let go of your obsession with Ying Xuanze for the time being!"

"The loss of the Yandong region has already made the people of the world somewhat dissatisfied. At this time, we should immediately send troops to take it back."

"Don't let the people down!" Wang Yi walked forward, squatted and gently patted Wang Ziyi's shoulder.

Wang Ziyin was silent for a long time. After she recovered her composure, she bit her lip and said, "Brother is right. I will immediately order Wang Guocheng to lead 500,000 troops to recapture the Yandong area!"

Seeing that his sister was willing to obey, Wang Yi finally regained his composure. He said softly and gently:

"Brother knows that Ying Xuanze is a huge threat, and he also knows that his existence is an enemy to both you and our Wang family, but we must distinguish between the primary and the secondary."

"We must first deal with Chao State and take back the Yandong area before we find a way to get rid of Ying Xuanze!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yi grabbed Wang Ziyan and got up from the ground. When he was about to help his sister back to the bedroom to rest, he suddenly glanced at the broken memorials on the ground.

While helping Wang Ziyin to the bedroom, Wang Yi asked, "By the way, why did Ying Xuanze suddenly mention Chen Jieren in his memorial?"

At this point, Wang Ziyin's body suddenly stiffened. Wang Yi continued, "I remember that all the ministers had no objection to Chen Jieren's case? Even Ying Tiangan didn't question it in the end. It can be said that we handled this matter perfectly."

"It's been a few years, why did Ying Xuanze suddenly bring it up now? Did he hear some rumors?"

After saying that, Wang Yi turned his head to look at Wang Ziyi, only to find that his sister was pale and had sweat on her head.

"What's wrong, sister? Are you not feeling well? Did the anger hurt your heart and lungs?" Wang Yi looked concerned. He turned around and was about to call for someone to bring the imperial physician but was stopped by Wang Ziyan.

"It's okay, brother. I was just thinking about the hundred people. I couldn't stand seeing them at that time..."

Wang Ziyin smiled faintly. He stroked Wang Ziyin's head and comforted her, "It's okay. They are all dead. If you are afraid, I will find a master to perform a ritual when I return."

The two men walked a few more steps, and at this moment, one of the soldiers who had been guarding outside the hall came running over in a hurry.

"Grand Marshal! Queen Mother! Xiliang has sent another urgent memorial over eight hundred miles!"

"Another urgent request of eight hundred miles? What does Ying Xuanze want to do?" Wang Yi took the memorial handed over by the soldier and asked him to leave.

Wang Yi took the memorial and opened it. When he saw the first content, his face changed drastically and his whole body was shaking violently.

"Reporting to the Grand Marshal and the Queen Mother. Recently, I have also heard about the loss of the Yandong region, but the court has been slow to send troops to take it back, which really chills the hearts of the people of Yandong and the people of the world!"

"I have been thinking about this for two days. Now that the treacherous ministers like Huang Chan have been eliminated, I will send troops to the Yandong region and drive Chaoguo out of Daying's territory!"

"I believe I can accomplish what my father accomplished back then. If I can recover the lost territory, I hope the Queen Mother will reward me for this battle and the grassland battle together. The soldiers who died fighting for their country are martyrs! I hope the court will not forget them."

"When this memorial was sent to the capital, I had already led the army to the Yandong region. I am quite confident in this battle, and I beg the Queen Mother to support me."

After reading the contents of the memorial, this time it was Wang Yi who tore it into pieces.

Wang Ziyin was frightened by her brother's reaction. She quickly asked, "What's wrong, brother? What did Ying Xuanze say in the memorial?"

Wang Yi clenched his fists, suppressed his anger and said tremblingly: "Ying Xuanze... took the initiative to lead the army to the Yandong area. He must be halfway there by now."

"If he really succeeds in recovering the Yandong region, then the people of the world will really be on his side."

Wang Ziyin said in surprise: "How is it possible? Did Ying Xuanze send troops to the Yandong area by himself?"

"No! Is he crazy? If he had the intention of rebellion, shouldn't he continue to stay in Xiliang to recruit soldiers? What does it mean for him to go to Yandong at this time?"

"Reclaiming the Yandong region will indeed help his reputation soar again, but there is no benefit in fighting against the Chaoguo army."

"The ironmaking technology of Chaoguo is much better than that of our Great Ying. Although their army is small in number, they are still a tough enemy due to their superior armaments."

"By then, Ying Xuanze and Chao will both be defeated, and he will have no soldiers to use. What can he use to rebel?"

"Let's not talk about whether he can defeat Chaoguo and retake the Yandong region. Even if he can, will he force himself into a desperate situation just for the so-called support of the people?"

"He has no troops. If I want, I can even send troops to kill him on the charge of treason!"

Wang Ziyin laughed coldly, "This Ying Xuanze, doesn't think that he can arm the people into soldiers who can immediately go into battle and kill the enemy just by winning their hearts and minds, right?"

"Why are you so panicked, brother? I am eager for him to go! The army of Chaoguo hates the Tiger Guards of the past."

"If the commander of the army of this dynasty knew that it was Ying Tianqian's son who led the army to fight, he would surely attack with all his strength to avenge the grudges of the past, right?"

Thinking of this, Wang Ziyan actually laughed out loud with pride.

"It's good to go! The more you fight, the fewer soldiers you have. As time goes by, there will be only a few troops left. Is there any reason why they will have more soldiers as time goes by?"

"Then Ying Xuanze doesn't rely on force but on his mouth, right? But is this possible? The Koreans can't understand our Chinese."

After hearing what Wang Ziyan said, Wang Yi, who had been frowning and looking serious, gradually relaxed his brows.

"From what you said, it seems that Ying Xuanze's unauthorized dispatch of troops to the Yandong region is actually a bad thing? So what exactly is he trying to do?"

"Who knows? Maybe he really thinks that as long as he can recover the Yandong region, he can win the hearts of the people in the world, so that he can have the capital to challenge us?"

"Didn't the founding emperor of Daying say that he who wins the hearts of the people will rule the world? It was because he won the hearts of the people that he was able to annihilate the army of the previous dynasty in one fell swoop and march all the way to the capital to seize the world!"

"But the founding emperor was able to establish Daying by relying on his own strong power. What does Ying Xuanze have? A bunch of defeated soldiers? And the support of the people?"

Wang Ziyin swung his sleeves and sneered, "When that time comes, I will personally lead the army to defeat Ying Xuanze! Tie him up and bring him back to the capital, then chop off his head in front of all the people!"

"Being too superstitious is not necessarily a good thing. Now that he has gone, we can save ourselves from wasting our manpower in Yandong."

At this point, a cold light flashed in Wang Ziyin's eyes. She looked at Wang Yi and squinted her eyes and said, "Brother, I have an idea. Maybe we can get rid of Ying Xuanze without charging him with treason!"

"Oh?" Wang Yi became interested as soon as he heard it.

"The terrain in the Yandong area is quite special. If we surround Ying Xuanze inside, then..."

Wang Ziyan whispered a few words in Wang Yi's ear. After a moment, Wang Yi raised his head and laughed.

"Great! You are worthy of being my good sister! That's great! That's great! This time, I will tell that kid Ying Xuanze to go and never come back!"

Wang Yi grinned, and both of them had an expression of gloating on their faces.
