Chapter 700 Assassination of the King

His Majesty the Emperor in Chang'an is still a little too arrogant. thought that the chess game in the world was under control, and the king's order was not to be obeyed everywhere. But he ignores that because of the subtle influence of one person over the years, the changes caused by many followers and the Han Dynasty have a far-reaching impact.

Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang, of course, is a chess piece that he has long buried in the army. When did the power of the crown prince and queen begin to be guarded against, no one knows now. However, as the Black Eagle Army gradually grew in the process of fighting against the Hun cavalry, and completely controlled this force in his hands, it was inevitable for the emperor to do it.

It is not enough to be faithful to the soldiers by abundant rewards. The taming of the commander-in-chief in the army is crucial. Therefore, the emperor set his sights on Cao Xiang, whose prestige and seniority were second only to Wei Qing, hoping that this chess piece could play an important role at a critical time.

Perhaps there was remorse in the heart of this emperor, and he should not have handed over the development of the cavalry army to Yuan Zhao, so that the influence of the imperial court and the royal family was somewhat insufficient among the two strongest cavalry armies. But there is no way to do this, who made it difficult for the finances of the imperial court at that time to support the establishment of a strong cavalry force. What's more, neither the emperor nor all the ministers could have imagined that the large cavalry corps that had been expected to take many years to build would take the young man less than a few years.

After the glorious victory of the Battle of Hetao in the first large-scale face-to-face battle with the Hun cavalry that year, the Black Eagles began their thunderous journey. Subsequently, the absolute victories of the three major battles of Henan, Hexi, and Mobei marked the complete defeat of the Xiongnu enemy. Changping Hou Weiqing also became the most dazzling general of the Han Dynasty.

The emperor is the most fickle. When Empress Wei and the crown prince had a stable position in the eyes of the emperor, the generals, who were relatives, were naturally the safest barrier for the dynasty. However, when the emperor's gaze quietly changed over the years, it was mixed with many uneasy suspicions.

What happened outside the Hanyuan Hall today is surprising, but it is inevitable that the situation will develop. The emperor went from deep doubt to murderous intent, and in the process of getting Wei Qing to lead the troops back to Chang'an. Secretly ordered Cao Xiang to prepare for the killing, and there was not much time to hesitate in the emperor's cold heart.

"The cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks"! The strong enemy of the Huns has been eliminated, the Han Quartet has been pacified, and the genius general has completed his mission. Even if there was no such thing as witchcraft in the palace, the emperor would make the same choice.

It's just that some people are high at chess, and they layout in advance, and the arrangement of the Son of Heaven is easily disrupted. With the body of one person, the weight of the stability of the world, the current Wei Qing has such a weight. Whether it is from personal friendship or from the overall situation, Yuan Zhao will definitely not let him have any danger. Cui Hong, the top master who already has the level of a grandmaster in martial arts cultivation, has already been arranged by him by Wei Qing's side, and he will not leave an inch.

"Yuan Zhao, you and Wei Qing have already discussed, haven't you? One on the inside, one on the outside...... Ha ha! Sure enough, it's a good helper of the prince! ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers don't really mean anything else. If there is really a great crime of the dynasty, he will naturally be arrested and ready to be killed. But if Your Majesty is deceived and there is evil on the side, then we will naturally not bury our lives in vain! The rights and wrongs of this are just trying to argue with Your Majesty today. ”

It was quiet inside the palace. Yuan Zhao, who is a prisoner at the bottom of the stairs, and the emperor who is high above are separated by the Nine Dragons Jade Steps, and there are thousands of mountains and rivers...... The prince present was silent. Dong Yan and Yan Zhujun both had complicated expressions. If it had been replaced by anyone else, as close ministers of the emperor, they would have already scolded loudly. But in the face of Yuan Zhao, who looked indifferent, the invisible momentum on his body made people dare not look directly at it at all. And the Nebula, who had been standing not far from the emperor's throne, had a gleam in his eyes and quickly disappeared. The wide sleeves obscured his slight movements, and no one noticed that a dangerous edge was about to burst out.

"Yuan Zhao, you said that there is a treacherous evil around me...... What does that mean? ”

The sunlight slanted in, enveloping the heavens and the earth, and the emperor's face was a little unpredictable.

"Your Majesty, don't you really understand? His Majesty, as a holy lord, has carried forward the prosperity of Wenjing, and the world has praised it, and the prosperity of the world today is unprecedented in history. This is actually the work of His Majesty! I believe that this period of history before today will leave the most magnificent page in the history books...... However, if Your Majesty is really complacent and stubborn and no longer listens to advice, then the rise and fall of this splendid country is only in the blink of an eye! ”

Yuan Zhao's words were sharp, he was no longer that indifferent look, and his eyes revealed solemnity. Everyone was shocked in their hearts, he looked serious, and no one in this world dared to despise him.

"Huh! What is the word of you people? Yuan Zhao, then tell me who is the traitor by my side! ”

There was mockery in the emperor's tone, since he dared to claim that he was loyal and upright, he had the ability to point out the so-called treacherous ministers! Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhao nodded, and unceremoniously nodded a few people around him with his hand, with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, there is actually only one thing for the minister to enter Weiyang Palace today...... Qingjun side! ”

As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere changed greatly. The person he pointed at with his finger was as if he had received a sword on the head, and his eyes immediately widened and his face turned pale.

"Your Majesty! Don't take his word for it! …… Yuan, Yuanhou, what do you want to do?! ”

Shi Yansuke, who once escaped death, was the first to be the one who couldn't stand the fear in his heart. No matter how much slander and jealousy you are behind this person, when you really face him and hear him say the words of your heart, it is false to say that you are not afraid. Even though the emperor was around, an invisible fear still arose. It seemed as if Yuan Zhao would rush over and kill people in the next moment.

"Of course, in addition to a few of them, the commander of the embroidered guard outside should also be among them! Your Majesty, I hope that the minister's request today will be agreed immediately, and the edict will be promulgated to the world, so that the war can be calmed down and everything will be safe! ”

Yuan Zhao didn't pay attention to Yan Zhu, in his eyes, this talented and virtuous person was just a clown. He looked at the emperor calmly, and finally made his final request.

Threat! Naked threat! When did the emperor of the Han Dynasty suffer such face-to-face persecution. Seeing the beloved ministers Dong Yan and Yan Zhu's eyes for help, His Majesty the Emperor did not laugh angrily.

"Yuan Zhao, you are really too arrogant! Who do you think you are? The majesty of an emperor is beyond the coercion of his courtiers. The people who said this sentence in the past hundred years in the Han Dynasty died without a place to be buried...... Why, do you want to try it too? ”

"What Your Majesty said, of course Yuan Zhao knows. But do you know, Your Majesty? Today is different from the old year! Your Majesty's mistake in thinking will lead to the destruction of the luck of the Han Dynasty for a hundred years. Therefore, no matter what Your Majesty thinks today, these people will definitely die! ”

"Bold Yuan Zhao! Your Majesty, why listen to his nonsense, this person is so rebellious, he is complicit, kill him quickly! ”

Yuan Zhao's resolute attitude, even the irrelevant people next to him were secretly frightened. Not to mention the one who was personally named by him. Fu Shouhou Dong Yan finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, jumped out, and accused loudly.

"Dong Yan, you are just a courtier, you don't distinguish between good and evil, and it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery. It was you who introduced Jiang Chong to Your Majesty that triggered the source of this trouble. If you really make a big mistake, you will not escape death if you are held accountable. And what a rapper! ”

did not wait for the emperor to speak. Yuan Zhao's words came out of the dantian, and the momentum was compelling. Not only Dong Yan and Yan Zhu couldn't help but retreat, but even that Nebula seemed to be forced by his momentum, his expression moved slightly, and he took a step back.

The emperor was a little dizzy with anger, he pointed in the direction of Yuan Zhao with his finger, and was about to shout loudly to order the guards to hurry up and kill the head, and suddenly saw Yuan Zhao's face change, and shouted something. Then everywhere the corner of the eye reached, the golden light was dazzling, turning into elbows and armpits!

"Your Majesty be careful......!"

With Yuan Zhao's shouting, three feet away from the imperial case, the nebula of the fairy wind bone suddenly appeared hideous, his left hand was the palm, and his right hand was held, and a soft sword wrapped around his waist flew out of its sheath, and in the long laughter, it stabbed in the wind!

No one expected that there would be an assassination of the king in the dignified Hanyuan Palace. Although there were a large number of palace guards lined up next to it, the timing of Xingyunzi's choice was very appropriate, and within three feet was the killing distance. And everyone's attention is nervously watching the development of the situation, and when they find that something is not good and react, they will pull out their swords and rush to the rescue, it will be too late.

Emperor Liu Che was originally skilled in bowing and horses, and he could be regarded as a brave man, but he was sick and weak for days, so it was naturally difficult to avoid the fatal blow of the great elder of the Kyushu Hidden Gate, a master in the world! He watched as the sword stabbed straight into his eyebrows. Dong Yan and Yan Zhu were even more stunned, and they didn't know what to do in a panic.

At the critical moment, Yuan Zhao under the imperial stairs shouted, the thick rope that bound the body was broken, and the qi machine instantly counterattacked the whole body, and when the escorted guards retreated in fear, the person had gone straight up the ninth-level jade step like an arrow from the string.

But even if he came to save as fast as he could, it was still a few inches behind. Xingyunzi knew that such an opportunity to assassinate the Son of Heaven was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and once he missed, there would never be another one, so it was not trivial to use a sword that had exhausted his life's strength. It can be described as "like a frightening and pretentious dragon"! Seeing the success, my heart is overjoyed, even if I die after the assassination today, I have no regrets!

In the wind, Emperor Liu Che felt a darkness in front of him, and the prince he had watched grow up since he was a child jumped over desperately, blocking the sword blade stabbing at the monarch's father with his back. The blood was blinding, and he saw that the young face instantly turned pale.

"Father! Erchen escorts ......! ”
