PS: I will try to keep 10 to 12 chapters updated every week, thanks to Golden Alliance Health First for rewarding another 220 monthly passes! The plot of Jinling was very tiring to write, and I finally finished writing it, so I begged for a monthly ticket to comfort myself......

In the early morning, the sky is still bright and clear, but by noon, the sky is overcast, dark clouds gather, the wind is roaring, and the dead leaves of the long street are swirling.

It was as if the heavens were going to show the world at this moment, that the heavens had changed.

Chong'an Gate, the southern gate of the imperial city that connects to the south gate through the royal street, was closed yesterday at the ugly hour, and there was no movement all night, and today it was not until noon that it was suddenly opened, and I saw hundreds of guards and cavalrymen in bright armor, escorting two prisoner chariots out of the imperial city.

More than a dozen eunuchs in Tsing Yi rushed in front of this soldier and horse, and they were quickly posting notices along the street.

"Which official is going to be dragged to Dongshi to be beheaded?" In front of a notice posted in front of the royal street, it was crowded with people watching the excitement.

Not to mention that the situation in the Imperial City and Jiumen yesterday was tense and there was a comprehensive change of defense, even if the streets and alleys today are full of news that Emperor Tianyou was imprisoned by the queen and the crown prince, for ordinary people who are slow to react and can only passively accept all their fate, they are not only frightened, there is nothing to do, and they are more indifferent.

At this time, seeing that some officials were directly escorted from the imperial city to Dongshi for punishment, it aroused their indifference and numbness, and deep down in their hearts, they naturally loved to watch the excitement.

Ignoring the chaos outside, many people braved the cold wind and pushed their doors out of their homes and poured into the streets, encouraging the younger generations who had read and could read to read the contents of the posters.

"Hey, at this time, the one who went to Dongshi to torture was really a big man, it was this dog official who thought that the hungry people outside the city were eyesore, and he thought about driving them away, but he didn't expect this dog official to kill His Majesty today!"

"What's the matter, Your Majesty has died? I went out early in the morning, didn't I hear that His Majesty was ...... by the queen and the crown prince."

"Li Daring, what kind of bullshit news did you hear, dare to talk nonsense here? The notice is clearly written, and it is clear that His Majesty was murdered by Kyung Zhao Yin Han Do-hoon in conspiration with the Lady of Cishou Palace, Zhong Yuli, and the Marquis of Xinchang, Li Pu, and others—I will read the notice to you......"

“…… His Majesty promoted Yin Han Daoxun to Wei Mo, but Han Daoxun ignored the emperor's grace, had a cold temperament, and did not want to be loyal to His Majesty, and instigated the third prince Yang Yuanpu to support the army and respect himself, and colluded with the thieves of Cishou Palace, Wang Chan'er, Xinchang Hou Lipu, the Inner Government Bureau, and Zhong Yuli, etc., to sneak into the Chongwen Hall on the twelfth day of the lunar month, suffocating him with a pillow and harming His Majesty - above this notice, the crime of Han Daoxun, a dog official, is clearly and clearly explained......

"Ah, what do you mean by suffocating with a pillow?"

"You idiot, if you don't learn and don't know how to do it, you just hold your mouth and nose with a pillow and suffocate to death."

"That's bold enough to behead them for public display?"

"Beheading them for public display, that's cheapening them...... The queen decreed that Han Daoxun and Zhong Yuli would be split in Dongshi, so as to inform the world and set an example - the car was split, which was the corpse of the five horses......"

"Yang Tai, you're an old idiot. Han Daoxun is loyal to the country and the people, if he didn't turn the tide, to eliminate the scourge of war, to avoid cannibalism among the children of the clan, for Jinling, for the hundreds of millions of people in the Jianghuai land, why bother to throw himself into the net? The surname Xu is already crazy, but we can't let Han Daoxun die so miserably! We sit idly by, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! ”

Yang En's hair was scattered, and he was sat on the Taishi chair in the lobby of Zongzheng Mansion by several people, struggling so much that he had no strength, but he still pointed at Zong Zhengqing Yang Tai's nose and scolded, and the roar that roared out of his throat was hoarse.

"Yang En, Empress Xu finally took your life, why do you bother to belittle yourself like this? You listen to my advice, you will stay in my house for the past two days, you want to scold, I will listen to your scolding, you want to beat, I will let you beat, okay? ”

Yang Tai, the Duke of Winning Guo, is over seventy years old, at this time he is already gray-haired, he is the cousin of Emperor Tianyou and Yang En, the Marquis of Liyang, his father and Emperor Tianyou and Yang En's grandfather are brothers, it can be said that it is the only surviving figure of the Yang clan, and he has always been the Zong Zhengqing, presiding over the affairs of the clan.

Although His Majesty died a strange death, as a pragmatic person, he had no interest in exploring what had happened in the Chongwen Palace, and only knew that it was Yang Tai's greatest duty to protect the Yang clan and ensure that the throne of Great Chu did not fall into the hands of his surname.

No matter how Yang En scolded, Yang Tai just sat firmly on the Taishi chair, and at the same time asked his family to hold Yang En so that he could rush out of the house and talk nonsense.

"You old idiot, you don't have the courage to beg Han Daoxun, surnamed Xu, to spare Han Daoxun's life, let me go." Yang Endu was about to go crazy and roared angrily.

"You are weak and go to the palace alone, what can you do?" Yang Tai persuaded bitterly.

"The whole world is full of greedy dogs and thieves like you, who are afraid of death, so that traitors are in charge and full of evil. I, Yang En, am weak and weak, I am beyond my strength, and I am a little mayfly who wants to shake the giant tree, but I Yang En can still die to prove that under the bright future, not all of you are dog thieves who are greedy for life and afraid of death. I don't think the guy surnamed Xu would mind cutting off my head one more! Yang En roared.

"It's useless for you to seek death, Han Daoxun sought the Dragon Bird Army for the three princes, and also sought Tanzhou, Empress Xu hated it to the bone, unless Han Daoxun succumbed at this time and was willing to be used by Empress Xu, otherwise, how could Empress Xu leave his life?" No matter how Yang En yelled, Yang Tai didn't move, sat in front of the door with a chair, and asked someone to hold Yang En down.

"Han Daoxun plotted the Dragon Bird Army and Moutan Prefecture, who said that?" Yang En asked.

"Isn't it?" Yang Tai asked rhetorically.

"Because of this, the person surnamed Xu has to kill him?" Yang En's forehead twitched, and he scolded angrily, "The surname Xu should be afraid of his son Han Qian, not Han Daoxun - leaving Han Daoxun's life will have room for ease with each other, and the surname Xu will kill Han Daoxun, and she will die without a place to be buried!" You old fool, if you help the abuse today, he will not die well one day! ”

Where will Yang Tai believe Yang En?

How old is Han Qiancai, even if he makes good use of tricks, his reputation and rise to prominence at this time, it is also the origin of family learning, and it still has to be attributed to Han Daoxun in the end - as long as Han Daoxun lives, it will really make Anning Palace and the prince restless and sleep.

With such a character falling into the net, how could Anning Palace be soft-hearted, how could he not be afraid that once he escaped, he would bring them endless trouble?

So many things happened in just one day, the sky was pierced through a big hole, Yang Tai was also exhausted, so his family brought ropes to tie up Yang En, saving him from accidentally telling him to escape from the house, holding his white beard and saying: "I'm so old, half cut into the ground, if you don't die well, you can't die well!" You still have to give me a good life for the Yang clan! ”

"If Jinling is killed like a river of blood, you old idiot, how can you plan for the Yang clan?" Yang En wanted to cry without tears, and he didn't understand why no one could believe him.

"Yang Jian has sent the family back to the city, as long as the second and third children can be suppressed, the old man will fight for his life, and he also asks Xu Houshi to seal the second and third children to sit in Chu and Tan, share the world, and jointly control Shuliang!" Yang Tai said.

Yang En's hands were tied, and he stomped on the ground in a hurry, his eyes were red, and his eyes were bloodshot with resentment: "Han Daoxun threw himself into the net, for what? You're all stupid! You will all die without a place to bury! ”

Yang En closed his eyes in despair, as if a river of blood was lying in front of him: now that both sides had torn their faces, Yang Tai, an old fool, didn't know that Han Daoxun's death meant that the last trace of war disaster would also be annihilated.

…………

Zhao Kuo and Zhao Wuji rushed to the city early in the morning with several Xi teenagers, but the guards of the nine cities were replaced by people from the Anning Palace and the prince's family, and after dawn, the city gate was also closed, and people were strictly forbidden to enter and exit.

Fortunately, although the weather was cold, the streams and rivers were only covered with thin ice, and the rivers with larger waves were not frozen by the river ice.

They touched the Beishengmen Water Pass, took advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders, and only endured the biting cold at noon, successfully dived through the cracks in the iron fence of the Beishengmen Water Pass, crossed into the city, and entered the secret safe house near the Beisheng Pass.

The city is full of guards patrolling the streets, and if someone dares to wander in groups of threes and twos, they are very likely to be intercepted and interrogated.

Zhao Kuo and Zhao Wuji's plan was to send someone to contact Shadow Bird and find out the news, wait for a few days to be quiet, or wait for the guards in the city to relax, and then they will find an opportunity to rescue Han Daoxun who is in prison.

The north wind howled angrily, and I don't know when the leaden sky blew goose feather snow, and it didn't take a moment for a light layer of white to accumulate in the yard.

The two people who were sent out to inquire about the news, when they were less than half a stick of incense, returned in snow, and each brought back a notice from the street with a panicked expression.

Looking at what was written in the notice, Zhao Kuo and Zhao Wuji were also like a thunderbolt from the sky, how could they not have thought that Anning Palace would be so eager to kill the head of the family, and be remanded to Dongshi to be punished with the most cruel and violent, five-horse corpse split?

They no longer had the care to carefully hide their whereabouts or gather more men, so they hurriedly changed their clothes, disguised themselves as civilians, hid their swords and crossbows in the firewood carts, and rushed to Dongshi in the snow.

However, when they arrived in the East Market, it was too late.

The crowd of spectators felt a little frightened by the execution just now, and there was also an irrepressible curiosity and excitement.

"It's a shame that Your Majesty treats him like a mountain, this dog official actually colluded with a traitor to murder His Majesty, and he really has to use the punishment of a car crack to relieve his hatred - you also said that the Ouchi guard used a rope to lasso the dog official's armpit and crotch to drive the horse, and this dog official didn't howl, after all, there was such a layer of meaning......"

"My stomach is all flowing all over the place, what do you mean?"

"I can't say like you, not to mention that Han Daoxun is in Chuzhou and Xuzhou, known as a person who loves the people and is famous, although he has been Jing Zhaoyin for a short time, but there have been several sons of the family who have been tortured by him to the yamen because of their arrogance, so that the world in the city is more or less clean, it is really hard to imagine that he will murder His Majesty......"

"I'm afraid you have forgotten, a few years ago, which dog official was above the court and suggested that the court drive out the hungry people outside the city to purify their ears and eyes? This dog official was punished by five horses today, and he really deserved it! ”

"The father and son of the Han family helped the third prince to quell the rebellion in Tanzhou, it should always be a great merit, if it weren't for this, how could the emperor transfer him to such an important position as Jing Zhaoyin?"

"What do you know, they all say that the traitor is like loyalty, and the fake is true, if it weren't for Your Majesty being deceived by the false face of this dog official, how could he be easily brutalized by this dog official and that traitor? It's a pity that the guards in the palace tore off the body of this dog official in two at once, and when they executed the rebel leader Ma Yin's father and son four or five months ago, they tortured them for a day before finally pulling their bodies off! It's a pity, it's a pity that I didn't see the wonderful part today! ”

Zhao Wuji's forehead was bruised, and he couldn't wait to pull out the knife and halberd from the firewood cart, chop this nonsense untouchable people on the street into meat sauce, and tell them that the head of the family couldn't bear to see them fall into the misery of war, so he threw himself into the net to mediate with the traitor!

"......" Zhao Kuo grabbed Zhao Wuji's impulsive shoulder and signaled him not to be like these fools, and when he walked through the crowd, he saw four unrecognizable corpses from the mouth of an alley with few people, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but tremble, and smashed his hand on the mud wall, with a muffled sound, the wall was rammed and peeled off, and suddenly the flesh and blood of his right hand were blurred, but the pain and anger in his heart made him feel no pain.

The heavy snow drifted down, and the cavalry of the guards each dragged half of the corpses around the huge Dongshi street, and the blood stains that were still flowing melted into the snow, Zhao Wuji and his young men rushed forward with blood, walked back to the vicinity of the firewood cart, and were about to pull out the sword halberd and rush over to snatch out the corpse of the head of the family.

"Stop!" Zhao Kuo shouted at Zhao Wuji in a deep voice, scolded them for hiding their blades back in the firewood cart, suppressed the grief in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Zhao Wuji, you immediately take someone to Shudu and report to the young master, you must report the death of the head of the family to the young master before the official post, and I will stay here to collect the body of the head of the family." ”

"The head of the family is fiftieth birthday today! Should we spare our lives and watch these animals spoil the corpse of their master? Zhao Wuji's hand holding the handle of the bow was trembling, and his childish pupils were covered with tears.

"If the Shu Kingdom first knew the news that the head of the family had been framed, how did you know that they would definitely not detain the young master and trade with the queen of thieves?" Zhao Kuo grabbed Zhao Wuji's wrist and glared angrily, asking him to calm down first.

Zhao Wuji hid the longbow back in the firewood cart, he had a trace of reason in addition to his grief and indignation, knowing that Zhao Kuo was right, Da Chu had fallen apart, and no one was sure that the news would reach Shu, and the Shu people would definitely choose to cooperate with the three princes, and not leave any trouble for the young master who was sending Shu to welcome his relatives at this time!

No matter how sad and angry he is in his heart, he must first spread the news to the ears of the young master.

The sky is snowing heavily, and the wind is screaming......
