Chapter 239: The Emperor Dies
When Zuo Ping left, the sun was setting red.
The convoy stretched for a long time, stretching from Shili Pavilion to the city gate.
Zuo Ping stood in front of the Shili Pavilion, looking at the city gate in the distance, his face was a little lonely.
After 30 years as an official, the protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials did not dare to say countless things, but they were also all over Gyeonggi, but they did not expect that when it came to the bones of beggars, there was no one to send them.
The housekeeper Lao Ning urged beside him: "Let's go, master, it's getting dark, let's get ten miles of pavilion today, otherwise it will be against Your Majesty's will." β
When Zuo Ping heard Lao Ning's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was really funny to disobey His Majesty's will.
In the current dispute between the imperial power and the prime minister, the prime minister overwhelms the imperial power, and the ministers who take His Majesty's will in their eyes are nothing more than to see that they have lost power, and a group of cool officials take the opportunity to make trouble.
"Go"
Zuo Ping got into the car and commanded.
The car started, walked not far forward, and stopped again, Zuo Ping was a little displeased, this Lao Ning, is it unreliable to do things.
"Master, there are guards blocking the way ahead."
The servant reported it.
Zuo Ping sighed in his heart, is it really here?
Su Lu entered Beijing, he knew that he could not be spared this time, so he simply proposed to resign from the phase, the two phases were suspended, and the internal fighting of the ministers would take a while, if Su Lu wanted to exert his might, now is really the time, he can be regarded as boosting Su Lu, and he should not embarrass himself again.
After tidying up his robe, Zuo Ping lifted the curtain and got out of the car, and looked ahead, sure enough, it was Su Lu, among several guard generals, and the one sitting in a wheelchair was not Su Lu.
It shouldn't be to get your own, Zuo Ping pinched the booklet in his sleeve, was slightly settled, and walked over.
"Master Hou, I said goodbye in the past, but I didn't expect that the day of goodbye would be the time for me to resign and go into hiding, I don't know what happened when Master Hou stopped my convoy here?"
Zuo Ping said neither humbly nor arrogantly, that thing can't be taken out unless it is absolutely necessary.
Su Ping arched his hand to Zuo Ping, and said with a smile: "How to say it, it is also a game with Hou Ye's robe, when the city was bleeding and the long street was killing the enemy, how could I never have thought that Xiang Ye would have today." β
"I'm here, one, it's Songsong Xiangye. Second, the princess said that Xiangye has something here for me to take back. β
After Su Lu finished speaking, Li Kun and Su Ping behind him pulled out the knife at the same time, the steel knife was unsheathed, the cold light was half exposed, and the murderous aura loomed.
Behind Zuo Ping, several slaves poked their heads out, and the thugs he had raised also pressed the bags on their waists.
Su Lu waved his hand: "Xiangye is an understanding person, don't be so anxious about you." β
Zuo Ping smiled bitterly: "Master Hou is going to eat me?" β
Su Lu looked at the sunset in the west, and the sky was full of red clouds, dyeing half of the sky red.
"Zuo Ping, do you think that if you resign, you will be able to leave safely?"
"Because of you, how many guards and soldiers have died in the north, and how much blood has flowed on Suzaku Street, if you take it out, you can kill a lot of people, if you don't take it out, will those people let you go?"
Zuo Ping gritted his teeth, his gray hair fluttered in the wind, his clothes flew up, and he said in a deep voice:
"Okay, I'll give you something, but I want you a guarantee, if you don't have a good hand, those people want to deal with me, and Dingxiao Wei must be on my side."
Su Lu nodded and glanced at Li Ling next to him.
Li Lingpi said with a smile: "This is easy to say, as long as the things that Xiangye took out are of sufficient weight, don't say Dingxiangwei, even if it is a new guard camp in the city, I can move for you." β
Su Ping also said with a smile: "The wealth is moving, the prime minister has been an official for so many years, just leak a little out, I promise, the brothers will definitely give you life and death." β
Zuo Ping smiled bitterly, flipped his wrist, and the booklet appeared in his hand in one fell swoop.
"This is the roster, Master Hou has seen it."
Changning took a few steps forward, took the booklet, inspected it, and after confirming that there was no problem, handed it to Su Lu.
When Su Lu flipped through the booklet and read it, Zuo Ping opened his mouth and asked.
"Master Hou's injuries seem to be quite serious?"
Su Lu responded casually: "Yes, I was stabbed three times in Wolf Juxu Mountain, one of which almost chopped off my arm, if it weren't for the princess's high skills, Mrs. Ye would have taken a quick shot, and my life would have been explained." β
Zuo Ping was a little worried when he heard this: "Hou Ye is the pillar of the country, Wan Wang takes care of his body, Princess Li Qing inherits the treasure is naturally good, if Princess Li He inherits the big treasure, Wan Wang Hou Ye should not ignore his body, everything is important to the country, the Han Kingdom is inseparable from the Hou Ye." β
Cao Hua, who was next to Li Kun, opened his mouth and said: "My master was a famous general at that time, and he still lived well after leaving the Han Kingdom, don't worry about this, old man." β
Su Lu waved his hand: "Zuo Gong, please take care, the mountains are high and the waters are long, congratulations to Zuo Ping'an for returning to the countryside, if he has time in the future, he will go to the township to visit Zuo Gong." β
Zuo Ping breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally passed Su Lu's pass, and saluted Su Lu with his fists, his voice full of excitement.
"It's easy to say, if the Hou Ye is willing to come, he will have enough chicken and prepare wine to wait."
Zuo Ping boarded the car and left.
Li Kun asked suspiciously: "Second brother, Zuo Ping is not a good thing, why do you want to let him go, just kill him, anyway, the military power is in me, and the government and the opposition will not let go of a fart." β
Li Ling next to him chuckled: "If this court is really as you Li Kun thought, it will be much easier." β
Su Lu threw the booklet to Li Ling: "Look at the list clearly, when the moon is bright tonight, you will get the holy decree, I will send a patrol battalion to help you, and tonight you will raid your family and exterminate the clan, and kill all of them." β
Li Ling flipped through the booklet, and his face collapsed: "Master Hou, so many people, all killed?" β
Changning had already pushed Su Lu's car towards the city gate, and Su Lu's voice drifted along the wind:
"Why, don't you dare?"
Li Ling's back was cold, knowing that Su Ping and Li Kun had already set their sights on him, and he would capture him as soon as Su Lu gave an order.
"The subordinates don't dare, but they just feel that the killing is so heavy, will it provoke a civil uprising."
Su Lu snorted coldly: "The people will not change, what will change is the officials, those officials who have interests, this will definitely be more and more important in the future, it seems that you Li Ling is not suitable." β
The killing intent in his back seemed to have turned into substance, and Li Ling knelt down with a thud.
"Hou Ye Mingjian, Li Ling has no two hearts, but among them, there are many relatives of Li Ling, as a relative, Ling can't save him, I can't feel at ease."
Su Lu turned his head and glanced at Li Ling.
"I won't ask who is dead, and the characters who don't affect the overall situation, you don't have to come to me, just make your own decisions."
Sulu was pushed into the carriage.
β¦β¦
At night, the long street is quiet.
On the long empty street, only the patrol battalion walked back and forth, suppressing the sound of curfew.
"Dododo"
On Suzaku Street, the sound of neat footsteps suddenly sounded.
"Bang Bang"
The door of Cao Ze's mansion was smashed open, and a sharp voice sounded in front of Cao Ze's house.
"Cao Ze colluded with the palace and wanted to do wrong, so he copied and beheaded all over the house."
Immediately after, the sound of shouting and killing sounded.
Li Qing stood on the palace wall, looking at the continuous firelight on Suzaku Street, one, two, three, more and more official mansions were raided.
Su Ge suddenly ran up to the palace wall in a panic, and when he arrived in front of Li Qing, he fell to the ground, and his tone was full of crying.
"Princess, Your Majesty has died."
Death of my father?
Li Qing's eyes darkened, and he fell backwards.
