Chapter 163 You Shouldn't Have Killed Him

The Maitreya sect in the northwest road started a riot. In the blink of an eye, the entire northwest road was in flames and riots continued.

Zhu Chenhao, the Ning Wang of Yangzhou, raised an army and gathered millions of people. He seemed to be expanding his forces by conquering cities and plundering land.

Some forces, big and small, were terrified, while others were happy; some defended the mountain gates and stayed at home; some fished in troubled waters to seek benefits.

Regardless of whether there were any signs or warnings before the sudden rebellions in these two places, it was obvious that no matter what, the Ming court was a little overwhelmed and at a loss when facing such sudden riots.

You must know that the Tatar tribe invaded the border before, which made the entire Ming court exhausted. In the end, even under the emperor's strong request, he personally led the troops to fight and repelled the Tatar tribe, so that the border was stabilized.

However, the dignitaries in the court never expected that the gourd would be suppressed and the dipper would float up. As soon as the border was stabilized, the empire was in turmoil.

If it was just the Maitreya religion that started the riot, even if it spread all over the northwest, it would not be a big deal for those bigwigs in the temple. After all, the Maitreya religion has been making trouble for so many years, and it is not a rare thing for it to cause some trouble.

Besides, the common people grow like leeks, and they can grow back after being cut.

What does it matter if some common people die?

But Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao killed officials and rebelled in Yangzhou, gathered millions of people and went down the river, attacking all the way to Nandu Yingtian, which made these bigwigs realize that the situation was urgent.

For them, Ning Wang's million-strong army of rebellion was not scary, even if they occupied a few states, but they could not let them occupy Nandu Yingtian.

This was not only because Nandu Yingtian was the capital of the Ming Dynasty court and had an immeasurable reputation, but also because Nandu Yingtian had a group of officials that was exactly the same as Tiandu.

Although the Ming Empire was a two-capital system, claiming that Tiandu and Nandu were on par with each other, and even the officials in Nandu were exactly the same as those in the court of Tiandu, and even the ranks were the same.

But even the common people in the Ming Empire knew that this was just a trick.

Compared with Tiandu, the capital of the Ming Emperor, the officials in Nandu were very different.

Tiandu could command the world, and all places had to obey an order.

But in Nandu, let alone the world, it was difficult to even leave the city of Yingtian in Nandu.

If the two capitals were really the same, then why did the officials in Tiandu regard being an official in Nandu as a demotion, even if it was a promotion in rank.

It can be said that most of the officials in Yingtian City in Nandu were a group of losers and a group of unsuccessful people.

If Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao really captured Nandu, I am afraid that some people would not be able to resist the temptation of power and really follow the thieves and become vassals.

After all, it was not the first time that the Ming Empire had fought against the rebellion, and it was hard to guarantee that some people would not want to take a chance.

Therefore, these bigwigs are most concerned about the situation of King Ning.

However, in just one month, the wrangling was over, and the emperor personally led the army, gathered troops from all directions, and led hundreds of thousands of troops to Yangzhou.

Although Wang Bo'an was wearing ordinary clothes, he still couldn't hide his elegance and indifference.

If you don't know him, I'm afraid no one would have thought that such a middle-aged man who looks like a Confucian scholar, with 100,000 troops, defeated a million troops and saved the people from fire and water, and was the greatest contributor to the suppression of King Ning's rebellion.

He stood in the distance, with an extraordinary temperament of deep and majestic, and his words were like a spring breeze, which made people feel good.

Pei Xuanjing clasped his fists and said, "Pei Xuanjing has met you, sir. I have always heard of your name and admired you for a long time. It's a pity that I have never had the chance to meet you. Today, I can meet you, sir, how can I pretend not to know."

He called him sir, but didn't call him by his official title, because Pei Xuanjing respected his knowledge and some of his deeds.

Moreover, he had asked Gu Ji to obtain a copy of Shenzhou Yiwenzhi from the other party, which was also indirectly a favor.

He could not turn a blind eye to the other party in terms of emotion and reason.

"Actually, you shouldn't have killed him just now!" Wang Bo'an said to Pei Xuanjing.

He was referring to Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao.

Pei Xuanjing smiled and asked, "Shouldn't he die?"

For his own selfish desires, he set off a huge chaos, causing countless families to be broken and displaced. Such a sin, shouldn't he die?

Looking at Pei Xuanjing's smile, Wang Bo'an couldn't say anything to deny it with his morality. He said, "He deserves to die! But, he shouldn't die in your hands. You should know why."

Even if Zhu Chenhao deserves to die for his crimes, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty court, he should definitely not die in Pei Xuanjing's hands.

Because Pei Xuanjing's identity is different, he is a remnant of Shenxiao wanted by the court. His actions will not only not make the court grateful, but also make them think it is a humiliation.

Pei Xuanjing nodded and said, "I know, but so what? Since I chose to take action, I will not have any regrets."

He didn't care what the Ming Dynasty court would think of this matter. Whether it was grateful or angry, it didn't matter to Pei Xuanjing.

"Ah!" Wang Boan sighed lightly and looked at Pei Xuanjing with some regret: "It's a pity that a person like you actually went to the opposite side of the court."

Although he had never met Pei Xuanjing, Wang Boan was also familiar with Pei Xuanjing's name.

Besides, due to his friendship with Gu Ji, he also knew a lot about Guan Yu and Pei Xuanjing in their correspondence. He knew that the so-called remnant of Shenxiao was far-fetched. It was nothing more than Pei Xuanjing being implicated in the situation.

"No pity." Pei Xuanjing shook his head.

He entered the martial arts academy to take the opportunity to read the collected skills in it and refine the accumulated Dao Yun. He had no other ideas.

Pei Xuanjing, who had been influenced by the previous life, could ignore the dynasty of this world and choose to be hypocritical for the sake of temporary interests, but he could not accept being servile to the emperor forever, especially when he had great power.

Therefore, it was difficult for him to understand those first-class warriors who had great power but chose to be hawks and dogs and servile.

Wang Boan was silent. He understood that the two sides were not the same kind of people at all.

Pei Xuanjing smiled and said, "I forgot to congratulate you for your great achievements this time. From now on, you will rise to prominence and realize your ambitions."

Wang Boan shook his head and said, "I gathered troops without authorization to quell the rebellion, which has violated many people's taboos. Let alone rewards, I am lucky to have my merits and demerits offset."

Wang Boan knew in his heart that even if he acted in an emergency this time and gathered troops from the surrounding guards to quell the rebellion of Prince Ning, he still violated taboos.
