Chapter Thirty-Nine: Cutting Through the Mess with a Quick Knife
You Ya, who received the book, came here.
Tuoba Han was already cold, and everyone regretted it.
Zong Ai and his entourage rushed to the Taihua Palace.
Seeing Zong Ai carrying a knife into the hall in front of everyone, Lan Yan and the others, who had been waiting for a long time, were filled with indignation.
Lan Yan shouted angrily: "Bold! You dare to carry a sword into the temple, it is simply contempt for the power of heaven! ”
Zong Ai laughed twice, and said arrogantly: "The new emperor has not died yet, you and others will conspire to let King Dongping succeed to the throne, compared to me, you are a big rebel, and the crime is unforgivable!" What is my contempt for heaven! Today, I'm going to clean the portal for His Majesty first to prevent future troubles! ”
It turned out that Zong Ai had already learned of their plan, Lan Yan and the others, you look at me, I will look at you, and guess who leaked the news.
Xue Ti walked forward and said righteously: "I will wait here at the order of the Queen Mother." But they suddenly broke into the temple and said they were going to kill us. So suddenly, aren't you afraid that the Queen Mother will blame you? ”
When Zong Ai heard this, he laughed out loud and said, "Queen Mother? What Queen Mother? This is all planned by me, and there is no purpose at all! If I don't pretend to be the queen mother's decree, will you people obediently come to die? ”
Zong Ai stretched out his fingers, swung them from side to side twice, and said to himself: "No! Even the King of Dongping, I was deceived into the palace in the name of Lord Lan! Haha-"
Zong Ai raised his head, looking proud and complacent.
"King Dongping has entered the palace?" Lan Yan, who had not received any news from Tuobahan, immediately jumped out of the column to ask.
"Entering is entering, but I can't get out anymore, I can only lie in the coffin and go out horizontally!" Zong Ai took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood stains left on the sword, and said unashamedly.
Seeing that Zong Ai and Jia Zhou were injured, and there were still newly coagulated blood stains on the blades, Lan Yan and the others suddenly understood, and said angrily: "Traitor, you dare to murder the prince!" You...... You deserve death! ”
In the face of Lan Yan's accusation, Zong Ai not only did not have the slightest remorse, but intensified his efforts and said arrogantly: "I not only want to murder him!" I'm going to murder you! Murder all the people in the world who do not listen to me! As long as you die, no one in this world will dare to oppose me again! This world will become the world of my love! ”
Zong Ai brandished his sword and paced back and forth, poking this and that. Several ministers were already frightened and begged for mercy on their knees, only Lan Yan, He Kai, and Xue Ti were still iron-clad and would rather die than give in.
When the three of them heard this, they only felt that Zong Ai was simply a fool's dream, and they dared to imagine themselves as emperors, looked at each other, and then laughed.
He Yi stepped forward and said provocatively: "Is Da Sima trying to rebel?"
"What rebellion? Since ancient times, the position of the emperor was originally inhabited by capable people. I am superior in resourcefulness, even the first emperor is inferior to me, and this throne should be mine! ”
"Resourceful? I think it's conspiracy, treachery, despicable! He joked.
Zong Ai didn't have time to refute, but was so angry that his face was flushed.
Xue Ti smiled and interjected: "Since ancient times, I have never seen a eunuch become an emperor!"
"I only know, this eunuch who wants to seek power and usurp the throne will not die well!" Immediately after, Lan Yan sprinkled another handful of salt on Zong Ai's wound.
"Exactly! Precisely! ”
The three of them laughed heartily, ignoring Zong Ai and talking to themselves.
Zong Ai was ridiculed, and he was very unhappy in his heart, only gritted his teeth, and went up with three knives left and right. It was only when the three of them fell to the ground that they relieved their hatred, and left another word to say: "Destroy them all for me!"
After that, the Taihua Hall screamed and bleed.
Zong Ai, who was a murderous person, did not go back to rest directly, but broke into Changle Palace with the rest of the people.
"Queen Mother! Dowager! Da Sima is coming this way with people! A maid panicked, and crawled into the temple and fell to the ground.
"Look at you're not showing any interest." The unaware Empress Dowager Helian also accused the maid of being rude, and then turned her mouth and asked, "What did he bring people here for?" ”
"The slave doesn't know, the slave only sees Da Sima and them covered in blood, as if they have just killed someone!" The maid said in trepidation.
Empress Dowager Helian knew that Zong Ai had a bad nature, and it would definitely not be a good thing to come with a knife this time, so she was only looking for a way to deal with it in her heart.
In the blink of an eye, Zong Ai led people to the palace, and the servants inside and outside the palace were even more nervous than seeing His Majesty today, and they all quickly bowed their heads to the ground, as if begging for mercy.
When the Empress Dowager Helian saw the fierce face of Zongai, she realized that this Zongai was to cross the river and tear down the bridge, so she asked knowingly: "Da Sima is not in Zhongshu Province to deal with the government, why are you bringing these people to my Changle Palace?"
Zong Ai snorted twice, a sinister smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and then said stupidly: "The minister is here to thank the Queen Mother for her kindness these days!"
"Since it's Xie Ai's family, why bother to mobilize the people? Da Sima is so polite! Da Sima's kindness, the mourning family will understand it, you should retreat first! I want to rest for a while! Empress Helian was neither pleased nor angry, but rubbed her temples and pretended to be tired.
Who knows that the heavens will not fulfill people's wishes, the more the Empress Dowager Helian wants to send it away, the more Zong Ai wants to stay. Zong Ai said contemptuously as soon as he opened his mouth: "Queen Mother, don't worry! I haven't thanked you yet! ”
After finishing speaking, he ordered the two to tie up the Empress Dowager Helian.
The Empress Dowager Helian struggled hard, and shouted confidently: "Zong Ai! What are you doing? Why do people catch the mourners? ”
Zong Ai sneered and snorted: "Of course, I want to thank the Queen Mother!" Didn't the Queen Mother never take her ministers seriously? Now, the minister just asked the queen mother to take a good look at the minister's ability! ”
"You!-" Before the Empress Dowager Helian could refute, she was forcibly dragged out.
Soon after, the Empress Dowager Helian was strangled to death in prison.
Time was cut off by a sharp sword, and blood-red burning clouds instantly floated in the sky, as if the clouds had been soaked in blood and bloomed with incomparable beauty. The whole sky is gorgeous.
Zong Ai killed again and again, but still had no intention of stopping, and led people to the abandoned Buddhist hall in the palace. He felt that he was in charge and that he no longer needed any puppets.
Stepping into the Buddha hall, you will see a polished and shiny Buddha, and the display in front of the Buddha is old but well placed. A few pillars of incense have not yet been burned, and there is a person sitting in front of the incense, calmly knocking on the wooden fish.
Knock knock knock -
The sound echoed throughout the Buddhist hall.
"Looks like you're ready!" Zong Ai said coldly.
"What if you're ready and what's not about being prepared? I can't escape death. Tuoba Yu stopped the wooden fish in his hand and said earnestly, "I have been a mediocre and cowardly person in my life, but I can be an emperor for eight months, although I have always been your puppet, but I can be regarded as a wish." I have no regrets in this life! Now that you're here, let's do it! ”
