If anything can provoke the emperor and Ma Yuanzhen to fight endlessly, then there is only the thorn of Li Han, the king of Yong.

This is an alternate card that Ma Yuanzhen and others are preparing to take over the emperor, and the emperor himself knows it, and he has always been in his throat.

The two sides have had a tacit understanding in recent years, and they both put Li Han aside and didn't mention it.

Ma Yuanzhen knew that if he retired, the first thing the emperor would have to clean up was Li Han.

Ma Gongdu also knew what his father thought, but he was not his biological son after all, his thoughts were different, he didn't look down on King Yong at all, and he had been secretly communicating with the emperor, Guo Hong had seen him when he was by the emperor's side, and Ma Gongdu reported Ma Yuanzhen's movements to the emperor at that time.

Guo Hong believed that Ma Yuanzhen also planted his own eyeliner beside the emperor, so he didn't know which one.

He deliberately pretended to be Ma Yuanzhen to tell Ma Gongdu that he wanted to invite Li Han and that he was going to prepare to deal with the emperor, just to provoke a contradiction between the two.

Ma Gongdu did not doubt him, and immediately left for the palace and reported the matter to the emperor.

On the same day, Ma Yuanzhen also received the news and immediately feasted Tutu Shiye, he only knew that the emperor was going to deal with him in advance, but he didn't know the reason.

Because Ma Gongdu hid it too well, if it weren't for Guo Hong's deep internal skills and hearing his conversation with the emperor, he wouldn't have guessed that this guy was an undercover agent.

Due to the rapid deterioration of the situation, Ma Yuanzhen had no choice but to conspire with Tutu Shiye to poison the emperor and set up a new monarch.

The two of them have mastered the Divine Forbidden Army, and there is no other military force in the palace that can stop them except for a little Jin Wuwei.

Tutu Shiye agreed, but turned his head and secretly reported to the emperor.

Although he is a world friend with Ma Yuanzhen, he was picked up by the emperor, if Ma Yuanzhen does not rebel, of course he is towards this, and now he is rebelling, but let him see the possibility of further replacing Ma Yuanzhen.

Ma Yuanzhen was originally appointed as the lieutenant of the Left Army after his retirement, and his son Ma Gongru was now ready to fight.

That night, Ma Yuanzhen ordered his henchmen to poison the palace, but failed to poison the emperor, these people were all trained assassins, and they all drew short knives and chased them down.

The emperor was so angry that he hurriedly escaped from Daming Palace and went straight to Taiji Palace.

At that time, his guards were entangled, and the situation was very critical, and suddenly a person rushed to the rescue, and fired several arrows in a row, and the arrows were not missing, and those palace maids were killed one after another.

This person is Yan Jishi, the teacher of the Yeting Palace, and the emperor was overjoyed, and immediately promoted him to be the envoy of the closed door.

Guo Hong has been staying in Mafu and waiting for an opportunity, and in the middle of the night, the house is brightly lit, and Ma Yuanzhen can't sleep at all, still waiting for news.

His eldest son, Ma Gongru, was with him, and Ma Gongdu never came back from the palace today.

Guo Hong was mixed in with the attendants in the hall and watched coldly.

There was a sudden shout of killing outside, Ma Yuanzhen's face changed, and he hurriedly asked people to go out to inquire.

Soon someone reported: "Lieutenant Tutu led people to surround the mansion, saying that the emperor has removed us from the post of lieutenant and wants us to tie our hands." ”

Ma Yuanzhen sneered and said, "This white-eyed wolf who can't be raised!" ”

He got up and walked out, and when he got to the door of the mansion, he climbed up the wall and asked outside: "Let Tutu Shiye come over and answer!" ”

The periphery of the mansion was full of sergeants of the Right Army, led by Tutu Shiye, who was dressed all over his body, and beside him was Li Jingshi, the commander of the Right Army, Qiu Shili, the envoy of soldiers and horses, and Gao Yu, the new Marquis of Duyu, all of whom were murderous.

Tutu Shiye said loudly: "Brother Ma, I'm here, Your Majesty wants to see you today, please come with me into the palace!" ”

Ma Yuanzhen shook his head and said: "Becoming the king and defeating the king, I don't have anything to say, I think of you and me in the past, please help me with this." Tutu Shiye said: "Brother Ma, let's go and tell Your Majesty by yourself, I can only help you intercede." ”

"This matter has nothing to do with my two sons, you wait a while, I will ask the Gongru to take my head and go to the palace to face the saint."

Ma Yuanzhen's face was discouraged, and after speaking, he returned to the inner hall and said to Ma Gongru: "It's because my father was careless and made a villain by mistake, if you take power in the future, you will avenge me and destroy the Tutu clan!" ”

Ma Gongru said with tears in his eyes: "Father, the emperor was established by you, don't you miss the old feelings at all?" “

"What an old relationship, he can't wait for me to die early!"

Ma Yuanzhen laughed, his voice was sad, and he turned around and entered the inner room, where his wife was also waiting.

"Go out."

Ma Fu is only in his thirties, and he and Ma Yuanzhen are not husband and wife, of course they don't want to die with their husbands, they are relieved when they hear this, and they are secretly grateful, so they bow down and retreat.

Ma Yuanzhen sat down on the couch, pulled out the sword from the shelf, and put it across his neck, but he couldn't get his hands down.

Guo Hong peeked outside for a while, and when he saw that he didn't want to die, he quietly walked in.

Ma Yuanzhen saw someone coming in, thinking it was his wife, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The old man is still unwilling, I will enter the palace to face the saint, and I will definitely keep the old and young." ”

When the visitor walked to the light, Ma Yuanzhen was stunned when he saw it clearly, and shouted, "Who are you?" ”

Guo Hong had already recovered his original appearance at this time, and said coldly: "Lieutenant Ma, don't you know who I am?" ”

Ma Yuanzhen looked at it carefully for a while, suddenly remembered, and said, "Are you the Guo family Erlang who escaped?" ”

Guo Hong nodded and said, "I still have an identity in the palace, presumably the lieutenant also remembers." ”

Ma Yuanzhen nodded: "Li Xian!" ”

"The first emperor said that you hurt him, and the empress dowager also gave me a dream, and I came today to send you on the road."

Ma Yuanzhen smiled and said, "This is the Ma Mansion, how did you get in?" ”

Guo Hong wiped his face and changed his appearance.

Ma Yuanzhen was taken aback and said, "Do you know how to disguise?" ”

Guo Hong said with a smile: "I am not an ordinary disguise technique, but Wukong Zen Master passed down the so-called 'seventy-two changes' of Wuxianggong, to tell you the truth, you were able to survive until retirement, I pretended to be Ma Zhi to ask you for a rhino belt, and then handed it to Ma Zhi, let him wear the court, yesterday I also pretended to be you, let your second son go to invite Li Han, said to prepare for the incident." ”

The corners of Ma Yuanzhen's mouth trembled, and he said, "What nonsense! ”

Guo Hong saw that he didn't believe it, his body shape began to change, and after a while, he became Ma Zhi's appearance, and his height was generally tall, if it wasn't for the different clothes, he couldn't tell the real from the fake!

Guo Hong opened his mouth to speak, but his voice was the same as Ma Zhi: "Is this credible?" ”

As if he had seen a ghost, Ma Yuanzhen retreated again and again and hid in the bed.

Ma Zhi had already set off for Changzhou, and he had sent someone to see him off a few days ago, so it was absolutely impossible for him to appear here.

Guo Hong continued to change, and changed into Ma Yuanzhen's face again, and said, "Is this credible? This time it was his voice.

Ma Yuanzhen shouted: "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”

Guo Hong smiled: "Naturally human, this is the Taoist immortal method, can you take it?" ”

"Immortal Chief, spare your life!"

Guo Hong shook his head and sneered: "You hurt my adoptive father and grandmother, the crime is not punishable!" ”

After saying that, he jumped on the bed, Ma Yuanzhen held the sword in both hands, pointed it directly at him, and shouted, "Don't come here!" ”

Guo Hong said: "Do you know why I said that I wanted to invite Li Han, and the emperor did something to you?" ”

Ma Yuanzhen's mind was in a mess at this time, and he shook his head blankly.

"Your second son has gone to the emperor's side many times to inform, and the emperor knows your every move in the palace, so I chose him as the last step."

"He, why did he betray me?"

Guo Hong said: "Then I don't know, I can't find out in such a short time." ”

After speaking, he took advantage of Ma Yuanzhen's stunned moment to take a step further, raised his foot and kicked the flying sword, and punched the enemy in the stomach.

Although Ma Yuanzhen also knows some martial arts, he is already very old, and he has been in a high position for many years and has long been abandoned, when he was punched, his stomach turned upside down, and a mouthful of blood mixed with the meal he ate at night vomited out.

Guo Hong picked up the sword in a wrong step, and the sword fell in his hand, and a stream of blood splashed onto the wall.

He stuffed the sword into Ma Yuanzhen's hand and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

After a while, the people outside pushed the door in, and when they saw Ma Yuanzhen lying in a pool of blood, they shouted: "Guogong has gone!" ”

Half an hour later, Daming Palace.

The emperor sat on the throne and looked at the box in front of him, the lid was opened, and inside was a head, which was Ma Yuanzhen.

There was a man tied below, kneeling on the ground and prostrating for mercy.

The emperor's face was pale, he had just listened to Ma Gongru's argument, and his statement was absurd, even more bizarre than the legend he wrote!

Ma Gongru said that he was eavesdropping outside the house, and someone sneaked into the room to talk to Ma Yuanzhen.

This person claimed to be able to change seventy-two times, becoming Ma Zhi to deceive Ma Yuanzhen, and then Ma Yuanzhen to deceive Ma Zhi, and finally deceiving Ma Gongdu.

How can there be such a person in the world?

Isn't it safe in the palace anymore?

He immediately summoned Ma Gongdu and asked, "When you saw Ma Yuanzhen that day, did he speak differently than before?" ”

Ma Gongdu thought for a while and said: "The voice is a little different, I thought it was drinking or suffering from the cold, but my demeanor is average, but my father rarely looks like that at home, but he is often like this in the inner court." ”

The emperor swallowed and looked around, it was late at night, and there seemed to be countless dark shadows hidden in the darkness, which made him shudder.

What he is most afraid of is this kind of strange person, what if one day his favorite concubine suddenly wipes her face and wants to kill herself?

It's a shame to be later than the palm of your hand.

He has always prided himself on his resourcefulness, and now that he has planted such a big heel, of course he has no face to say it.

If there is no such thing, maybe Ma Yuanzhen can retire safely, and it is also a good story for the monarch and the minister to start and finish well.

But now, it's too late.

He looked at Ma Yuanzhen's head and said to Ma Gongru: "You will keep me by my side to do good things, and I will not treat you badly!" ”

When Ma Gongru heard this, not only did he not have to die, but he was also promoted by the emperor, and he was confused for a while.

His younger brother Ma Gongdu also felt strange, but he didn't dare to ask the emperor, so he could only kneel silently, not knowing what to do.

The emperor looked at him, and his heart was irritated, there was nothing wrong with this man, but when he saw him, he felt that he had been tricked.

So he flicked his sleeves and went into the inner hall, and tonight he slept alone, and specially ordered that no one should come within three feet, and those who violated the order would be beheaded!

The emperor didn't allow him to go, and the poor and innocent Ma Gongdu didn't dare to go, so he knelt all night.

Besides, Guo Hong killed Ma Yuanzhen and took advantage of the chaos to sneak out overnight to find Jiao Fengming.

He stayed in Shixiong's mansion for one night, and the next day Chang'an returned to calm, Guo Hong and Jiao Fengming went to Dongshi and ate in a wine shop, where they had already said goodbye to Shixiong and prepared to leave Chang'an.
