Chapter 189 Dragons Without Heads
What fell from the sky was none other than Eunuch Yan, the only ninth-grade master in the palace.

Facing the pressure of the ninth-grade master, Yu Qian and Yu Wenji felt like a huge mountain was pressing down on them, and they couldn't even breathe.

puff!

A sword was thrust into Yu Qian's chest like a bolt of lightning.

The other hand strangled Yu Wenji's neck.

Click!

Yu Wenji's neck was twisted alive.

Several soldiers who rushed up seemed to have hit a wall of air and were forcibly bounced back.

puff!

The moment the sword was drawn out, it had already cut off Yu Wenji's head.

A stream of blood arrows was like a fountain, spraying out in all directions, scaring the surrounding soldiers into fleeing.

Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Yan slashed back with his sword and cut off Yu Qian's head.

The two headless corpses sprayed blood at the same time and fell to the ground.

Eunuch Yan took two heads and rose into the air, then disappeared after a few ups and downs.

As soon as the two adults died, the group was leaderless, and the Guards and the city defense army immediately fell into chaos.

"Yu Qian is dead! Yu Wenji is dead! Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed..."

With the deafening roar, many soldiers took the initiative to put down their weapons.

Ruyan Rushuang led the people into the palace. Those who put down their weapons will not be killed. Anyone who resists will be shot without mercy!

Lu Hao didn't want to go on a killing spree, so he spread the word that as long as the soldiers who surrendered could be spared death, the leading generals were immediately detained pending trial.

Seeing that the two adults were killed, Shen Jihai quickly fled from the north gate with a dozen of his confidants.

……

It was just dawn.

A rebellion has been put down.

All the corpses had long been transported outside the city and buried, and the streets had been washed clean.

Even the smell of blood was covered up by the smell of spices, and the entire imperial capital seemed like a dream.

All the civil and military officials hid in their homes and shivered, fearing that this incident would cause trouble.

The Supervision Department had already monitored these officials, so Lu Hao ordered the Supervision Department to start arresting people.

As long as all the civil and military officials involved in Yu Qian and Yu Wenji's party were captured and questioned.

The palace was well preserved, but thanks to Yu Qian's strategy of surrounding three and one, the maids, eunuchs, concubines and nobles all escaped with their gold, silver and jewels.

Otherwise, if Yu Qian breaks into the palace later, there will definitely be burning, killing and looting.

I heard that the rebellion was suppressed and all the eunuchs, maids, concubines and nobles who escaped came back.

Lu Hao immediately sent someone to pick up Concubine Yi, her son, and the emperor from the imperial mausoleum.

In the current harem, Queen Chen Yuhuan is not here, and Concubine Yi is the one who takes charge of the entire harem.

The emperor returned to Qianyuan Palace. Although he was still in a coma, he stabilized people's hearts.

However, Murong Yao's injury was a bit serious. Although Eunuch Yan took action and saved his life in time, it may still take some time to recover.

Sisters Yi Ruyan were appointed by Lu Hao as the two commanders and deputy commanders of the Imperial Guard, responsible for the security of the palace.

Many people were killed by the Guards before, and now some personnel from the Guards were transferred to supplement them.

General Fan and General Hu were appointed as chief and deputy commanders of the Guards and reorganized the Guards.

General Ling and General Huo were appointed as commanders of the city defense army, and recruited the soldiers of the city defense army who had been abandoned by Shen Jihai.

For the Shenhou Army in Yanshan Camp, the four generals selected the officers and soldiers, and those who were not selected returned to Yanshan Camp to rest and recuperate.

Dugu Shenyong stayed in the Hou Mansion in the imperial city to recuperate, and General Han temporarily commanded the Shen Hou Army.

Now Lu Hao's office is located in the Military Aircraft Department, where he is responsible for handling political affairs, large and small, and overseeing all civil and military officials in the empire. He is already a veritable regent.

"Sir, Yu Qian and Yu Wenji's party, a total of 340 people, have been arrested and brought to justice!" Wu Qingyu came to report and handed over a list.

"So many people?"

Lu Hao was also shocked.

"Sir, many of these people had to take refuge under the pressure of the Prime Minister and the Minister of War. These people..."

Wu Qingyu hesitated to speak.

"Lock them up first and let them write a statement of repentance. If they have a good attitude towards confessing and have no major faults, we will spare their lives for the time being!"

Lu Hao took the list and explained.

"Your Majesty, please be merciful! I will list their crimes and hand them over to you for your decision!"

Wu Qingyu said happily.

Lu Hao looked at the list carefully. Some of them had low official positions. At most, they could only echo a few words in court under pressure, which was not a big problem.

However, there are a few guys with real power who actually help make suggestions and must be severely punished.

As for Yu Qian and Yu Wenji's mansion, Ruyan Rushuang had already moved their treasure trove back to Lu Hao's mansion.

The residences of other officials have also been monitored and sealed by the Supervision Department. Whether or not their homes will be confiscated depends on the decision of the Supervision Department.

If the crime is extremely heinous and unforgivable, it will certainly be hard to escape the consequences of having your home confiscated.

"Lord Qi, the family members of Yu Qian and Yu Wenji have all been arrested and imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Are you going to... destroy the nine tribes?"

Reported by Wu Qingyu.

"What? Destroy the nine tribes?"

Lu Hao was shocked.

The annihilation of the nine tribes was definitely the most cruel criminal law in the feudal dynasty. It involved a wide range of areas and caused deep harm.

Fortunately, he does not have the ignorant thoughts of feudal society, and he also feels that it is too cruel to destroy the nine tribes.

"Yes, the crimes committed by these two adults are extremely heinous. According to law, the nine tribes will be destroyed."

Wu Qingyu reports.

"Interrogate them first to see how involved they are. As for the servants and maids at home, they are generally not involved in serious crimes of rebellion. Let them go if they should."

Lu Hao thought for a while and said.

"Subordinates take orders!"

Wu Qingyu retreated.

Immediately afterwards, officials such as the Minister of Hubu, the Minister of Personnel, and the Minister of Punishment came to bow down to Lu Hao one after another, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be dragged out and beheaded by Lu Hao.

In fact, these people are basically either the emperor's people or the empress dowager's people, and now they have come to express their loyalty to Lu Hao.

Although the civil unrest in the empire only lasted one night, it soon spread across the country.

After all, you can't hide such a big thing if you want to.

Chen Lin, the "wise commander" who was thousands of miles away, got the news first.

Chen Lin almost danced with joy when he heard that Yu Qian and Yu Wenji led their troops to capture the palace.

Especially when Shangguan Fengyi was stabbed to death, Chen Lin was furious.

Moreover, Murong Yuan, the bastard who killed his daughter, is now seriously ill and in a coma, not far from death, which makes Chen Lin feel even more happy.

Of course, now that the imperial capital is in such chaos and the court is so unstable, Chen Lin will naturally not send troops to attack Xixia Kingdom again.

Preserving his strength and returning to the imperial capital is what he should do now.

"Butcher, summon the imperial capital and report to the court that the queen is pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood and wants to return to the imperial capital to rest!"

Chen Lin explained loudly.

"What? The queen is pregnant..."

Shen Youtu was also shocked.
