268 Usurpation (1)

When the old Marquis Mu walked in the corridor leading to the palace, the palace was unusually silent, as silent and solemn as when General Feng entered the palace that day.

His Majesty the Emperor's personal attendant personally led the way in front, he seemed a little excited, a little nervous, and his eyes flashed with the pleasure of revenge. Old Marquis Mu was behind him, his steps were brisk and powerful.

The chamberlain secretly guessed that maybe Old Marquis Mu didn't expect that the wheel of cause and effect would come back so quickly. The tragedy that happened to General Feng not long ago is about to happen to himself.

The chamberlain smiled and looked at the sky, General Feng, I can avenge you, although I have no regrets in death.

When he came to the main hall, the chamberlain bowed slightly, bowed his head and said to Old Marquis Mu: "Master Hou, please untie your sword." ”

"The emperor once said, Ben Hou can see that the king does not kneel, and the face does not need to untie the sword, which onion and which garlic are you, and you actually want Ben Hou to untie the sword?"

The chamberlain frowned slightly, and said without humility or arrogance: "Today is the time of the great dynasty, all the kings, clans, and hundreds of officials in the court are here, and it is not appropriate for the marquis to enter with a sword." ”

"What if I have to bring a sword?" Old Marquis Mu stared deeply at the servant in front of him, and there was anger in his eyes that was about to erupt.

Old Marquis Mu didn't wait for the waiter to respond, pushed him away, and stepped directly into the hall. The atmosphere in the hall was tense and solemn, and the countless officials standing on both sides of the court looked at him, and the old marquis Mu stepped forward confidently, and there were no wooden people on both sides. Old Marquis Mu's eyes only stared straight ahead, the young son of heaven who didn't dare to look at himself. He dodged and hesitated as he did when he captured General Feng......

"Minister, meet Your Majesty!" Old Marquis Mu stood still in the hall, smiling and bending down to salute, but did not kneel.

Everyone has long been surprised, the old marquis Mu has the enviable privilege of the court hall, he can enter the palace with a sword, and he does not worship the king, and even the emperor is above the court, and he also set up a Taishi chair for the old marquis.

"Old marquis...... Excuse me. Zhao Ruize was weak, and his voice trembled slightly.

Many officials present thought that today was just a very ordinary court meeting, and the emperor agreed that the old marquis would go to the front and prepare to confer military charms on the court. What a trust, what a glory.

People all looked at Old Marquis Mu with envy and jealousy, and the corners of Old Marquis Mu's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile. The chamberlain hinted to the emperor with his eyes that the forbidden army had been ambushed in the palace, just waiting for the emperor's order.

Zhao Ruize stabilized his mind and continued: "The war at the border is urgent, and the old marquis can go to the front line in person to share my worries, and I am very relieved. ”

"It is the duty of a courtier to share the worries of His Majesty." Old Marquis Mu continued.

"Please come forward and catch the tiger talisman." The chamberlain held a tray covered with a red cloth and said to Old Marquis Mu.

Old Marquis Mu glanced at the tray suspiciously, and where the tray was covered with red cloth, there was a boxy bulge, as if a box was placed inside. The waiter walked towards Old Marquis Mu step by step, and Old Marquis Mu kept staring at the tray.

"Wait!" Old Marquis Mu suddenly said, "Please open the red silk for my father-in-law." ”

The waiter paused, and there was no tiger talisman in the red silk at all, just an empty box.

Old Marquis Mu suddenly stepped forward and directly knocked over the tray, and the box fell to the ground, with nothing in it.

Here the courtiers let out an exclamation, Old Marquis Mu glared at the emperor angrily, and Zhao Ruize was stunned for a moment.

Things have developed beyond their imagination.

"Someone, escort!" The chamberlain hurriedly said.

The knife and axe men who were in ambush in the back did not hear His Majesty's order and did not know what to do. Old Marquis Mu grabbed the neck of the waiter.

Although the chamberlain was a eunuch, he also had some fists and kicks, he took out the dagger hidden in his chest and stabbed it at Old Marquis Mu.

Old Marquis Mu didn't say a word, drew his sword, and knocked out the dagger of the chamberlain.

"You dare to hide the dagger privately, it seems that you want to be unfavorable to the emperor!"

"Despicable villain, betraying the country for glory, everyone will be punished."

"Whose person are you?"

"I'm from Chu!"

"Good, good!" Old Marquis Mu said the word "good" three times in a row, and then a sword pierced the chest of the waiter.

"Ahh Killed! "There were people in the court shouting, and everyone was in chaos.

Zhao Ruize sat on the dragon chair, only then did he react and quickly dropped the teacup.

The sword and axe hands rushed to the main hall one after another, and the old Marquis Mu was not afraid of danger, and looked at the emperor with a smile: "Your Majesty, what is the crime of the minister?" ”

"You, you, you...... betrayed the country to seek glory, colluded with the Xiang Qiang people, and bewitched me and killed General Feng. ”

"Your Majesty regrets killing Feng Rubing?" Old Marquis Mu laughed, "It's a pity, it's too late." ”

Zhao Ruize was enraged, and finally took out some courage, and ordered the knife and axe men: "Come on, take down this traitor!" ”

However, after the emperor gave the order, no one stepped forward to do it. Zhao Ruize was stunned for a moment, something seemed to be wrong?

"Your Majesty, I said, it's too late." Old Marquis Mu smiled slightly, "The forbidden army is already under my control. ”

"How dare you buy the forbidden army!" Zhao Ruize trembled with anger, "You really committed treason, what else do you want to do?" ”

"What are you doing, of course, it is to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes." Old Marquis Mu said softly to the emperor, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will not kill the emperor for the time being." ”

"You, you ......" Zhao Ruize looked at the other ministers, he was expecting someone to come forward and take down this traitor.

But everyone lowered their heads, and in the face of power, in the face of the sword of the forbidden army, no one dared to stand up and speak.

Above the court, there is no one like Mrs. Xu who dares to speak.

"Come on, take His Majesty the Emperor down to rest, if there is nothing to do, don't leave the palace." Old Marquis Mu's order is equivalent to directly placing the emperor under house arrest.

Zhao Ruize looked at the forbidden army walking towards him in horror, they pulled the emperor expressionlessly and dragged them out of the main hall directly. In the hundreds of years of Da Chu, there has never been an emperor who has no dignity like him, driven out of the court by his courtiers and placed under house arrest in the palace.

Old Marquis Mu looked at the trembling officials again, "Everyone has been an official in the same dynasty for many years, and they are all old acquaintances." We don't have to tear our faces, we have to kill you, right? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Everyone nodded, how dare they say half a "no"?

"Who the emperor above is, it makes no difference to the courtiers. As long as you are obedient and obedient, you can rest assured that Benhou will treat you well. But who dares to carry Ben Hou behind his back, play tricks, and talk nonsense, don't blame Ben Hou for being polite. ”

The ministers nodded tremblingly, and no one dared to oppose Old Marquis Mu. Old Marquis Mu glanced coldly at the corpse under his feet, and snorted lightly, "I can't do it." ”

As early as when the chamberlain contacted the forbidden army, the secret agent of Old Marquis Mu found out this information. Only then did the old marquis Mu learn the news in time and bribe the forbidden army.

Old Marquis Mu stepped over the corpse and stepped onto the emperor's throne step by step, he watched with satisfaction as the ministers surrendered at his feet, feeling the pleasure of being above ten thousand people. Finally, he reached the pinnacle of power.
