Chapter 287: Forcing the palace to abdicate
"Since the prince is so resolute, then the prince will do it. If the prince has nothing else to explain, then Mu Feng, retire ......"
"Wait......" Mu Feng, who was about to leave, was stopped by Chu Chen as soon as he turned around.
"What else does the prince command?"
"You get ready to go to Excalibur Villa right away. Originally, he was asked to go back first and tell Li Chijun to be careful in this day, and considering that Li Chijun is now weak in manpower. If Chu Ze strikes first, he is afraid that he will suffer a loss on his own. decided to let Mu Feng go to Shenjian Villa first, and let Lin Jinyu secretly assist Li Chijun. With his help, he can recuperate with peace of mind.
After Chu Chen explained the matter clearly, he looked out the window, only to see that the weather was sunny, and he seemed to think of something, so he opened the door and walked out.
In the Xingyue Dynasty, people came and went on the bustling avenue, only to see a carriage slowly driving in the crowd, and the sound of selling along the street sounded, hovering around the carriage.
"Rock sugar gourd, two strings of five cents, one string of three cents. A middle-aged uncle carrying a bundle of sugar gourds raised his voice and shouted. At this time, several men who looked like knights came from the crowd, and because their dress was too ostentatious, everyone gave way. The man who didn't have time to give way to them was ruthlessly pushed away, but fortunately a young man caught him.
The male protagonist who was pushed away wanted to scold a few words to see that there were many people on the other side, and he looked like the master who couldn't be provoked, so he held the feeling of being bitten by a dog, and unwillingly took a few glances at those people, flicked his sleeves and left.
"Woohoo......" the coachman told the horse to stop its hooves. Seeing that someone was deliberately blocking their way, he angrily wanted to scold those people. It's just that before the words were spoken, he was pointed at by the other party with a sword.
"Tell Taishi Zhao to come out—" The man said expressionlessly. Those who protected Taishi Zhao also reacted quickly, drawing their swords against those who came to find fault, not to be outdone.
"Bold, Master Taishi is here, which of you dares to be presumptuous?" a man who looked like a guard flashed a gold medal, and he thought those people would walk away with interest. As a result, I didn't expect the other party to be even more affected.
"It's Taishi Zhao's car that stopped," the man said softly to the carriage with an unshaven expression: "Taishi, King Jing is invited." The people in the carriage did not respond, but the guards who protected the Taishi spoke first.
"Are you from the Jingwang Mansion?" the guard put away the gold medal and put it on his chest. It's not good to think about it, and now things are in trouble. The guard waved his hand to get his subordinates to put away their sabers.
"On the orders of the prince of Jing, I have invited the prince to come to the palace of the king of Jing! The prince has been waiting for a long time. ”
As soon as King Jing was mentioned, the face of the guards protecting the Taishi darkened. Just because of this period of time, the Taishi Mansion can be said to be visited by people from the Jingwang Mansion every three or five times. The secret of this has long been self-evident.
"What's the matter?" came the old man's faint voice from the palanquin.
"Hui Taishi, he is a person from King Jing's Mansion. The guard heard the Taishi speak, so he hurried to the door of the carriage to help uncover the tent.
From inside the carriage, an old man with black and white hair poked out.
I saw an old man slowly getting out of the carriage, he was about seventy years old, his yellow skin and very obvious old age spots, and wrinkles crawling all over the corners of his eyes. It is the traces that the years have planted on him.
His robe was made of fine satin, and he exuded an air of righteousness, a formidable momentum. Although he is nearly 100 years old, he is still feared and majestic. The black and white black hair is tied up on the head with a crown, and the majesty is even tighter.
The old man took a few steps, raising his eyes to look at the young men in front of them who were blocking their path.
"Leng Shuo, the subordinate Jingwangfu four-grade guard with a knife, has seen Zhao Taishi, and on the order of King Jing, he specially asked Taishi to move the palace conveniently, and the prince has been waiting for a long time. Leng Shuo clasped his fists and saluted.
The old man glanced Leng Shuo up and down, and rolled his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something. He replied with a smile: "Who should the old man be? It turns out that he is just a person from King Jing?" Zhao Taishi replied with a meaningful smile, neither agreeing to Leng Shuo's invitation nor refusing Leng Shuo's intention.
"Taishi, please ......" Leng Shuo gave the Taishi a way, as if he wanted to let him go first. But how could Taishi Zhao agree?
"It seems that your master still didn't understand what the old man meant last time!"
"What does Master Zhao mean by this, is he refusing the invitation of the prince?" Leng Shuo saw Zhao Gang and didn't seem to have any intention of going with him, so his tone of voice became a little heavier.
"The old man is busy with business, and there are still a bunch of things to be dealt with in the house. Say goodbye first. Please also ask the cold guard to go back and pass on to the old man, what your prince means, the old man already knows, and the Tao is not the same. After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward.
"Master Zhao!!" Leng Shuo called Zhao Gang, who had already turned around and was about to get into the carriage, unwillingly.
"Taishi stays, Taishi can ignore the safety of his life, is it possible that more than a hundred lives in Taishi's Mansion can't invite Taishi?" Leng Shuo stopped his pursuit, and his cold words seemed to have a provocative tone?
"What the old man should say and what he shouldn't say, I made it clear to your master some time ago, this Taishi and King Jing are afraid that there is nothing to talk about. After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he entered the carriage without looking back, and told the master who was driving the carriage to go back to the Taishi's mansion. Doesn't seem to care about Leng Shuo's threat
"Master Zhao, the prince said, as long as you nod and agree, you can choose what kind of conditions. Leng Shuo ran after the carriage behind him, because of the protection of the guards, he was not very close, watching the carriage go farther and farther, Leng Shuo's heart was also indescribable.
Leng Shuo and a few men stood in place like this, in fact, they all knew in their hearts that Zhao Gang would not take refuge in them, but they still had a lucky attitude and wanted to change the situation. However, the bright moon shines on the ditch, and there is no power to return to the sky.
The crowd is still flowing. Some of the men who followed Leng Shuo, because they were unwilling, all showed a hint of murderous smell.
"What should I do, no one has been invited, and we can't explain it to the prince. The guard said worriedly.
"Taishi Zhao can ignore his own life, could it be that the life of the little prince, the Taishi can also stand by and watch, or the hundreds of lives in the entire Taishi Mansion, he can also stand by and watch?" Leng Shuo replied to the guard's words in a faint whisper. There was a hint of deep emotion in his eyes.
The corners of his mouth rose a little, his fingers lightly picked the long hair in front of him, and he held the sword in his hand.
As soon as there was a series of insignificant episodes, no one in the crowd paid attention to what had just happened, and everyone was busy with what they were going to do. One or two carriages were stopped in the street, which provoked a few people, but they all had expressions of indifference, stood for a while and left. I just felt that what happened just now was a little inexplicable, and I didn't think much about it......
Watching the horse go farther and farther, Leng Shuo's sword shell clenched with one hand seemed to be overforced, his eyes squinted slightly ahead, and his expression was mysterious that others couldn't guess.
A guard approached. "If you want me to say, we just stopped the Taishi. I don't believe that with a few of us, we can't beat those guards?"
"It's easy for you to say, don't forget, how did the prince explain before leaving?" another guard also interjected.
"I'm old, and my bones are still so hard? If it weren't for the prince's explanation, I really want to give him a sword? Look at him like that, the old man on the left, and the old man on the left? The guard complained unwillingly. Then he spat on it. His eyes were full of a hint of unwillingness.
"Okay guys, since we can't invite the Taishi, we can ask Ling Gongzi...... I believe that Taishi is a person of knowledge. Leng Shuo dropped this sentence strangely, and turned to leave.
“...... What does the cold guard mean?" the young man hurriedly asked, and then he seemed to understand something. He also smiled eerily.
Half a month later, it was an unquiet night. A bright moon hung high on the earth. A few clouds floating in the sky seemed to be floating in the sky for such a late night.
King Jing led 50,000 elite soldiers to the inner courtyard of the palace, and the voices of shouting and panic blended together in this unquiet palace.
On the palatial palace, there was no grass in an instant. It has long been gone. There were corpses all over the ground, and one by one the cold corpses smashed down the road to the main hall.
"Kill ......," a man who looked like an officer raised his weapon and roared. The eyes were full of desire for victory.
"Bang~" The gate was forcibly opened by dozens of soldiers. The originally delicate gate has long been kicked to pieces.
“......... Escort, escort. Hurry up and protect the Holy !!" The door was kicked open, frightening the ministers in the temple. He howled and shouted without hesitation, saying that he was also standing in front of Chu Xiaochen and protecting.
Chu Xiaochen calmly looked at the chaotic scene in the court, and he also had mixed feelings in his heart.
He thought that even if Chu Ze rebelled, it would be a matter of tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so he called a few officials today to discuss countermeasures together. However, what they never expected was that Chu Ze would make a move so quickly, and they couldn't wait to do it, leaving them unprepared......
Several officials, who were afraid of death, knelt on the ground and remained silent. The palace maids and eunuchs fled in all directions, and there was no longer the prosperity of the past, only a fear that was more terrifying than hell.
The dock smoke floating in the main hall, and the incense burner of the past have long been disrupted with the chaos.
The crackling sound of "killing ......" frightened the eunuchs and palace maids who fled everywhere. In a moment, a living body fell silently in this cruel power......
Only then did the fighting stop. I saw a man in gold armor coming from a crowd, and the sharp head of the spear in his hand kept dripping a few drops of blood.
Bang. The weapon was thrown to the ground by the man, and it gradually stopped after rolling a few times. The man looked at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground in fear in front of him, and some ministers who didn't seem to feel a trace of fear, and their expressions didn't seem to be emotional.
"King Bold Jing, you actually committed the following offense of "raising troops to rebel?" A minister, summoning up a trace of courage, said timidly, but his steps retreated but did not advance. It seems that he is also afraid that he will be implicated, but when he sees the situation in front of him, he has three more points of courage.
“...... Rebellion?" Chu Ze tilted his head and smiled. It's like hearing something very funny. He laughed and replied, "This throne was originally mine, if it weren't for my father's partiality." Where will it be his turn to sit in this position?"
Chu Ze replied as a matter of course, as if this throne was something that belonged to him for him.
"Shut up, raising troops to rebel is already a big disrespect. actually slandered the first emperor, which is the most deserving death. The minister's voice was obviously much firmer than before, and it seemed that he was not as timid as he had just now, but had a little more courage.
