Chapter 219: Enthronement
Ye Fan recalled the flying sword, coughed twice, felt a sharp pain in his left chest, and knew that the heavy blow left by Xiao Mo to himself began to attack again at this time.
He knew that he couldn't fight with the other party for a long time, and he had to get rid of Ji Yun's pursuit immediately, but when he cut down a sword against that master, he was also stopped by him for a moment.
At this moment, the entire alley was directly surrounded.
Ye Fan frowned and looked at it, and the people who came out to arrest him were the garrison stationed in Kyoto, and there were also people from the Criminal Department, and more of them belonged to the Shence Army, and there were several eunuchs from the inner court standing behind.
It seems that Ji Yun has really put a lot of effort into winning himself.
Looking at the hundreds of elite soldiers and strong generals coming from all sides, Ye Fan sighed in his heart, knowing that no matter how tragic the Taihe Palace ended, but at least for now, Ji Yun would not let himself go no matter what, and when he didn't know it, he had already been accused of bullying the king.
But he didn't feel a trace of fear, just watched it all calmly.
Even the situation of 30,000 armor soldiers surrounding the mountain has been broken by itself, and only these hundreds of people want to keep themselves?
Amusing.
"It's life or death!"
A burst of shouts of killing sounded in all directions of the alley, and countless people rushed towards Ye Fan, who was standing with a sword in the alley.
Ye Fan's eyes flashed with a cold light, his serious injuries had not healed, the sword technique, the three thousand shadow burial, and even the sword qi was not very useful, so he just held the sword in his hand and rushed forward to kill.
The sound of sharp blades piercing people's eardrums pierced people's eardrums, and then the four people who rushed to the front slowly fell down like four rootless trees.
There was still a glint of wonder in their eyes, why, why his sword was so fast.
They clutched their throats and collapsed, blood gushing out of their hands.
Ye Fan turned around suddenly, a few traces of blood dripped from the body of the Nine Heavens Sword, and the death of Liao Liao and several people was impossible to repel everyone's impact, and the advance pace of the Divine Strategy Army did not even pause at all, and they drowned Ye Fan again.
The silver-white sword light flashed again, Ye Fan chose to hurt but not kill in order to save physical strength, which was also the most strategic choice, and no longer tried to kill with a sword, but shuttled through the surrounding crowd very quickly, slippery like a loach, just slashed off on the sergeant's bare calf and neck.
In an instant, several people had several more bloody cuts on their bodies at the same time, and even more of them were cut off by a sword, covering their wounds and wailing.
The Shence Army belongs to the elite of the army with excellent training and strong psychological quality, and according to common sense, even if an arm is cut off, it should not be so unbearable.
In fact, this is the strangeness of the Nine Heavens.
The wisps of sword qi on the sword can not only prevent the healing of the wound, but also increase the pain at the wound several times, even if it is an iron-blooded army like the Divine Ce Army, it is impossible to resist this level of pain.
Several particularly terrible screams sounded in the alley, and the injured people couldn't die for a while, but they were extremely painful to be rectified by the sword qi on the Nine Heavens Sword.
The screams one after another finally sobered up the officers and soldiers who were surrounding Ye Fan, and reminded these people with spears and blades of the legendary immortals' strong and powerful techniques.
Hundreds of people paused in the alley at the same time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Fan released all the few spiritual energy in his body, and the three thousand shadow burials were opened instantly, and a black shadow swept out, crossing people's bodies like the wind.
A general who presided over the siege not far from the alley looked at the black shadow in the alley, and a chill and surprise flashed in his eyes.
He never imagined that there were people in this world who could turn themselves into a shadow and flee like the wind in full view of everyone, completely ignoring the attacks of the soldiers around him.
Is this the power of the Immortal Family's magic?
In the siege of more than 500 people, Ye Fan didn't even have a wound left on his body, and in this encirclement of quiet planning, he forcibly broke through a distance of more than ten zhang!
"Stop him!"
The general in silver armor looked at the black shadow that was getting closer and closer to him, his pupils shrank sharply, and he roared in a hoarse voice: "Quick!"
As soon as the words fell, the sound of dozens of crossbow arrows resounding in the noisy sea of people.
Ye Fan's brows furrowed slightly, his figure stopped instantly, the duration of the three thousand shadow burials was too short, and it was too late to rush to the commanding general's side, if he insisted on moving forward, he would inevitably collide with that rain of arrows.
He didn't hesitate too much, but in the next moment, he stepped on it and stepped heavily on the hard bluestone road, with a bang!
With a single kick, the square, hard stone slab burst open from it, and the corners of the slab were cocked in all directions, and it was shot at the steel bolts that shot at them.
With a few snorts, the bolt sank into the earth and hit the stones, narrowly missing his body.
Ye Fan's body stopped suddenly, but the Divine Strategies Army behind him couldn't hold their feet, and directly collided with Ye Fan's body that was suddenly still!
Ye Fan turned around with his sword, and his right hand holding the sword did not tremble at all.
Without the slightest sound, the two heads left their bodies and flew up slowly, drawing two striking curves in the alley shrouded by the last rays of the setting sun.
Before the next round of crossbow arrows came, Ye Fan looked back at the commanding general at the head of the alley from a distance, and his toes touched the ground lightly, to everyone's surprise, with the arc of the two human heads that were cut off by himself, they flew out towards the alley in the opposite direction.
The general couldn't help but tremble when he saw the chill flashing in Ye Fan's eyes, but he still beat his spirit, gritted his teeth and said: "The Shence army is all attacking, we must not let him escape!"
Immediately afterwards, several sounds of breaking the air sounded, and more than a dozen top masters in the Shence Army swept onto the roof and chased towards Ye Fan, who was running on the eaves not far away.
Under the sunset, several figures were in the sky above Dayan and even the most prosperous capital of Zilai Prefecture, chasing me one after another.
......
......
"Ye Fan must die!"
In the imperial study in the palace, Ji Yun, who had arrested the crown prince and the king of Xiaoyao by iron-blooded means, said a word with an expressionless face.
"There seems to be something wrong with the Temple Academy. The eunuch beside Ji Yun whispered: "The most important thing is that the governors everywhere seem to have problems during this time, it has been three days, and there is no news from the governors of the four routes, and the latest news is still a few days ago to mourn the first emperor Bintian." ”
Ji Yun frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't pay attention to it, since they don't accept it, then I will use my strength to make them accept." As long as Ye Fan dies, I have my own way on the side of the temple. ”
He actually regarded himself as me, it seems that on the Taihe Palace, Ji Yun had directly ascended the throne and became the emperor by forceful means.
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
The eunuch bowed respectfully, and then raised his head, and it turned out to be the eunuch Hong Chun, the leader of the King of Ease, who had broken through Ji Yun's adultery and informed the King of Ease!
Ji Yun looked at Hong Chun with a smile and said, "You handled the matter of the emperor's uncle and ancestor very well, I hope that you will not let me down in the following matter." ”
"Yes, the slave will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust. ”
Hong Chun hung his head respectfully.
After Ji Yun broke his adultery with Hong Chun, he immediately guessed the mastermind behind this matter, the prince definitely did not have such a means, it was definitely the secret handiwork of the fourth child.
So after Hong Chun just left, he thought of a way to profit from it.
Let Ji Yue and Yan Jing, the first assistant scholar, completely break with each other.
It's just that I didn't expect Qin Ling to come out and speak for himself.
Even if he knows the current affairs, he can add glory to the few days he has left.
Hong Chun bowed down and said respectfully: "The slave will please go to the will of the prince, but the slave himself does not have much power to speak, and the prince is a high-minded and arrogant person, at most he can issue a will to the Kyoto garrison and join the search and arrest ......."
He raised his head and said tentatively: "Although more than thirty ministers have been arrested and imprisoned now, the meaning of the prince has not changed. Now that His Majesty has succeeded to the throne...... Look, is it possible to move the four highnesses?"
"There is no evidence, what do you want me to do with the fourth?" Ji Yun sneered and said: "Don't make this plan, now the Shence Army and the military department are in my hands, and Scholar Yan, as the head of the civil officials, has no way to retreat, so he can only stand on my side, if he can't even tolerate a fourth child, my imperial uncle can't really fight to the death with me." ”
"As long as the crown prince and the queen mother are still in the palace, the situation will always be in my hands. Ji Yun then said indifferently: "And after all, I am also surnamed Ji, and I have the same blood, I will not easily move the eldest and fourth, on the contrary, the emperor uncle ancestor will not easily move me, otherwise do you think that an Eight Realms Formation Master can be controlled so easily?"
"Your Majesty. ”
Hong Chun's timely slap was neither light nor heavy.
"Uncle Huang has a key point here. Ji Yun continued: "I grasp his vital point, he can't stay away from the palace, or fight to the death with me, he can only stay in the palace, I want to see, wait for those dozens of ministers to stand up, the governor of the Quartet can't stand it, and wait for me to inherit the unification in the name of righteousness, how can he, the king of freedom, resist?"
"Your Majesty has no last resort, and the minions are thrown to the ground, and it is difficult to shoot the horse. ”
Hong Chun slapped another sycophant.
Ji Yun shook his head and said: "There can't be a person in this world who has no last resort, and even if there is, it is a level that me, a mortal, can't reach." You go and prepare, maybe in two days, something big will happen in Kyoto. ”
Hong Chun smiled flatteringly and said, "Then the slave will go back to Cining Palace." ”
"Go ahead. Ji Yun said: "Let the Emperor Uncle Ancestor rest assured, don't be too tight." ”
"The minions obeyed. ”
Hong Chun slowly retreated, walked through the dead palace, listened to the sad sound that faintly fell in his ears, and returned to Cining Palace.
He knelt down in front of Ji Yue and said a few words, looking at the white hair and depressed expression hidden in the temples of the carefree king, the eunuch sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that the prince was also a very powerful figure, but now he can only focus on maintaining the peace of the court, but he can't show too much courage, and he has followed His Majesty many years ago, which is really a very wise choice.
After Ji Yun walked out of the imperial study room in Hong Chun, he leaned back dejectedly, looked at the mountains of music beside him, smiled bitterly, and was speechless for a while.
In just a few days, more than a thousand twists and turns have been accumulated by the counties and states of Dayan. If according to the usual procedure, these decisions should first be decided by a few scholars in the Zhongshu Province under the sect, important matters are decided by the emperor, and the rest of the small matters are delegated to six departments, and the pressure on the emperor is actually not too great.
But because of the iron-blooded methods in front of the palace, more than half of the civil servants swore to death, and he could only take these dozens of courtiers into prison.
As for the reason why they swore to the death, it was simple.
The edict in his hand was indeed forged.
However, it was not a forgery of handwriting, but Ji Yun used a method, and when he went to ask the emperor for peace, he secretly placed a soul-devouring ghost seed.
It is one of Pei Qiancheng's famous spells, temporarily controlling the emperor and writing this secret edict.
This is also one of the main reasons why Duan Yiyi will send troops to help Pei Qiancheng escape, he will either die outside, or in his own hands, if he is sent to Jiulongling, it will definitely be an unimaginable blow to Ji Yun.
But alas, the blow has already appeared.
Pei Qiancheng is not a hard bone at all, he spit out the matter directly, how can the Dayan officials who are intersected with Jiulongling be so wishy-washy, they will naturally swear to the death.
Although Ji Yun imprisoned more than 30 ministers on the charge of framing the Holy Will, it was not a real solution in the end.
Taking down the top few letters on the hill, Ji Yun glanced at it twice, and his eyes gradually became fierce.
The latest of these letters was the document sent by the governor of the four roads after he learned of the news of His Majesty's assassination.
Although these governors spoke respectfully, the meaning of the sword hidden between the lines was very obvious.
Ji Yun frowned and thought, if these dozens of ministers still don't let go, don't blame him for killing chickens and monkeys.
At this moment, a eunuch suddenly walked into the imperial study with a panicked face.
Ji Yun raised his head and glanced at him, his eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that this eunuch was Sister Ling'er's cronies and a trustworthy person.
The eunuch leaned into his ear and said a few words, his face pale.
Ji Yun was suddenly startled, slapped his palm on the bookcase, and the shocking pieces fell to the ground, gritted his teeth and said: "Lao Wu was assassinated!
The eunuch's body was shocked, and he quickly lowered his body and mourned: "Your Majesty Mingjian, it has nothing to do with the slaves." ”
"I didn't say anything about you!" Ji Yun was furious, "I'm talking about Duan first-class! Now he is in charge of this palace, without his signal, how can there be an assassin running to Cining Palace?!"
The eunuch knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
It took Ji Yun for a while to calm down his anger, suddenly got up and waved his sleeves, and walked quickly towards Cining Palace.
Yes, he wants to be the emperor, he wants to kill Ye Fan, so several of his brothers are obstacles on his way to becoming emperor, but the fifth child is an absolute exception in his heart, the fifth is not only his nominal mother - the son of Concubine Yi, but also his younger brother.
He was not yet ten years old.
It's just a kid.
Even if he is as cold as Ji Yun and can use everything he can for his purposes, there are untouchable scales in his heart.
Lao Wu has always regarded himself as his own brother, so why doesn't he regard him as his own brother?
If something really happens to the fifth child, Duan first-class, even if I still want you to help me do things now, but when the matter is over, I will make you pay the price!
Walking all the way towards Cining Palace, Ji Yun thought to himself, who wanted to kill the fifth child? Is the fourth brother using the death of the fifth child to warn him? Or is his waste big brother dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, trying to use the death of the fifth child to intensify the contradiction between himself and the world?
But he knows that in public and private, the fifth child must not die.
Ji Yun prayed silently in his heart.
......
......
Zhao Qingluan sat by the window and asked the person who had been waiting in the courtyard, "Is there any news from Lord Guo?"
The man replied respectfully: "Since the matter of the Taihe Hall has passed, there has been no news from the palace, but Lord Guo, they should be fine, after all, they have not been involved too deeply." ”
He then asked softly, "County Lord, did you see that person earlier?"
Princess. The person who will call Zhao Qingluan like this can only be a person from the water purification country!
Zhao Qingluan nodded silently, and suddenly said after a while: "Keep calm for the time being, don't make extra moves." ”
The man frowned slightly, and said, "Your Majesty's order is to help the third prince Ji Yun control the situation in Dayan, and now that Ye Fan has his whereabouts, why don't we inform Ji Yun?"
Zhao Qingluan looked at him and frowned, "I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, but I only know that Ye Fan can't die now." ”
The man's face was slightly cold, and he looked at Zhao Qingluan and said, "County Lord, please remember that you are a citizen of the Pure Water Country, don't use your selfishness to sway your thoughts. ”
Zhao Qingluan sneered and looked at the man, "Do you think I am such a high-spirited little woman? I am thinking about the Pure Water Country, if Ye Fan is really dead, not to mention the National Teacher, even Your Majesty will not spare you!"
The man gasped, I don't know what this means, but after tasting it carefully, the National Teacher does attach great importance to Ye Fan, but if His Majesty's wishes are to be achieved, what if Ye Fan does not die?
He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has a strict order, under the condition of not being exposed, Dayan must be in chaos, and the National Teacher believes that the four princes of Dayan will definitely endure to the end, if Ye Fan does not die, the four princes will not move, Ji Yue will not move, and the people behind Ye Fan will not go crazy." ”
"The fate of Burning Haizhai is still vivid, and the power behind Ye Fan must not be underestimated. The man lowered his head stiffly, and his speed of speech became faster and faster, "Now that Dayan's King of Freedom is staring at Ji Yun, making him unable to move lightly, but once Ye Fan really has an accident under Dayan's hands, I am afraid that even if the temple comes forward, it will not be able to suppress the few people behind Ye Fan......"
"As long as Dayan is really messed up, no matter who wins or loses in the end, it will be of great benefit to my Water Purification Country. The man lowered his head and continued: "The emperor's assassination and death is one of the sources of chaos, and Ye Fan's death will completely ignite a raging fire." ”
"My subordinates, please think twice about the county lord. ”
