Chapter 202: The Curtain Falls



Because the big seal was cut in half, the mood is a little low, this chapter has to be a little meaningful, and finally ask for a recommendation ticket and a monthly pass, Lao Bing will cheer up.

In the imperial study, the emperor looked at his son beside him with a smile on his face, "You will be a good emperor, better than me." "The emperor held Cao Anmin's hand, just like an ordinary old man holding his son's hand." Father, you will always be the best. Cao Anmin was held by his father, and he couldn't cry anymore.

"Don't cry, you're going to be the emperor." The emperor looked at Cao Anmin lovingly, "Those people from poor families in the Black Dragon Guards were left to you by your father, in the recent expansion of the army, they have no less than 200,000 troops in their hands, they are the biggest cards in your hand, remember that although it is good to share the world with the family, but if they dare to bully you, you don't have to be soft." ”

"Chief Chief, it's my father's mistake." Thinking of the chief chief he was going to deal with, the emperor pondered for a moment before saying, "Remember that if the chief chief wants to step down in the future, only Guo Nu can sit in the position of the head of the Guo family and the chief chief." ”

"There is also Li Qing's wife, Feng Siniang, I owe her father a lot, you have to take care of him for me." The emperor thought of his friend who had been wronged thirty years ago, and quietly commanded. In the imperial study, the emperor said one thing after another, but Cao Anmin just listened carefully, he knew that this might be the last thing his father said to him.

The imperial city is not only the emperor's residence, including the three provinces and six ministries and many other official offices, and there are also places belonging to the clan in the imperial city, and the power of the clan is not only the main Jinwu and Yu Linwei of the Cao family's children, but also reflected in the financial resources, the Cao family business is the largest business in Daqin, and the business in the world is not the place they do not set foot in, and the person in charge of the Cao family business is not the emperor himself, it is the elder council of the clan.

When the Black Cavalry Battalion quickly assembled towards the clan. The great elder of the clan, Cao Mingde, knew the news, he was a real ambition, and for the sake of the emperor's position, he had endured it for a full thirty years. Regardless of whether the emperor had insight into his conspiracy or not, Cao Mingde decided to gamble with all his strength, after all, he was already old, and there was no more thirty years to wait.

Li Ang looked at the palace where a huge shout of killing sounded in the distance, and his heart was silent, he knew that it was the soldiers of Great Qin who were fighting each other. For the ambition of one person, so many people have died, thinking of the dead Tulle and Yizi, Leon clenched his fists.

At this time, the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Battalion who stayed in the imperial study came from outside the palace gate where the imperial study was located and reported to Li Angyu, "My lord, there are Zhijin Wu and Yu Lin Weizhi outside the palace. The origin is unknown. ”

"Trespassers, no mercy." Li Ang looked at Gao Changgong and the other officers of the Black Cavalry Battalion beside him, and said in a deep voice, and then he walked to the imperial study behind him, "Your Majesty, please go first with the crown prince." Walking into the hall, Leon knelt down on one knee.

"I am the emperor of Great Qin, and it is the army of Great Qin that came, why should I leave?" The emperor looked at Li Angdao, and his old face was light and clear. It seems that the rebels from outside are not worth mentioning.

"I'm here, I'm not going anywhere." The emperor said, and then looked at his son, "Prince, you go and see who dares to make trouble." "The retainers take the order." Cao Anmin knelt beside Li Ang. Loud voice.

Outside the imperial study, the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Battalion played the prince's guard of honor, and there were only three hundred of them, while the Zhijin Wu and Yu Linwei outside the palace gate were nearly two thousand. Li Ang sat on his horse and motioned for the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Battalion guarding the gate of the palace to let in Zhi Jinwu and Yu Linwei.

"The prince is here, who dares to make trouble." Looking at the rebellious Zhijingo and Yulinwei who rushed in and shouted to cut off the rebellious Zhijingo and Yulinwei, Li Ang shouted on his horse, and his voice echoed over the palace outside the imperial study like thunder.

Listen to Leon shouting. Seeing the prince's guard of honor played by the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Battalion, those Zhijinwu and Yu Linwei were stunned, most of them were deceived and didn't really make trouble, of course, some of them were Cao Mingde's henchmen.

Cao Anmin rode out of Li Ang's side, and the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Battalion beside him protected him left and right, looking at those Zhijinwu and Yu Linwei, he said loudly, "Alone here." Are you going to make trouble? ”

At this time, Zhi Jinwu and Yulin Weizhong, those henchmen of Cao Mingde were clamoring. They loudly spread rumors that the emperor had been killed by the crown prince, and instigated Jin Wu and Yu Linwei to rush into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty is in good health, don't be provoked by traitors to do things that are worthy of your ancestors." Looking at Zhi Jinwu and Yu Linwei who were noisy again, Li Ang drank loudly, he knew that the emperor asked the crown prince to come forward, but he actually believed that Zhi Jinwu and Yu Linwei were still loyal to the royal family.

"Something is wrong, those Zhi Jinwu and Yu Linwei were obviously deceived." Looking at those hesitant Zhi Jinwu and Yu Linwei, Gao Chang rode his horse to Li Ang's side respectfully, "They seem to be just delaying us. ”

"Oops, Your Majesty." Listening to Gao Changgong's words, thinking of the emperor in the imperial study, Li Ang's face changed suddenly, and then he said to Gao Changgong, "Don't tell Your Highness, Your Highness needs to calm the scene here, I'll go back immediately." After saying that, Li Ang ordered a team of black knights and went straight to the imperial study, just as he thought, Cao Mingde played a hand to attack the west, his real goal was the emperor, as long as the emperor died, and then took out the body of the fake prince, he could make those Zhijinwu and Yulinwei believe that Cao Anmin was an impostor who killed the monarch, and then Zhijinwu and Yulinwei, who lost their minds, would kill all the people they considered rebellious.

In the imperial study, the emperor looked at Cao Mingde, who was leading people in, stood up from the chair, and the Taiwei next to him also stood up, and the two looked at Cao Mingde coldly together, "I can't imagine that the real betrayer is you, Uncle Huang?" The emperor shook his head, Cao Mingde has been self-denying and courteous for the past thirty years, and he is highly respected in the clan, and he has never doubted him.

"The emperor's position was mine, but your father usurped it." Forty years ago, Cao Mingde was the prince at that time, and then because he acted too harshly, he was finally deposed as the crown prince by his father and the family, he always thought that he lost the emperor's position because he became the emperor's brother, thirty years ago, he thought he had found an opportunity, for the emperor to plot against the prince at that time, I wanted to expose this matter after the death of the prince, and depose the emperor with the family, and ascend the throne by himself. But he didn't expect the prince to have a big life and escape. So he had to endure it, this forbearance was thirty years, and finally waited for the current prince to leave the palace, and he laid out the killing game, but he didn't expect it to fall short, so he had to come forward in person

"Kill them for me." Cao Mingde didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered the dead henchmen around him to kill the emperor. Behind the emperor, Xu Man and Dian, who had always existed like shadows, stood in front of the emperor and the captain. Blocked the bolts fired by the dead soldiers.

Cao Yu never made a move, he has always been by the emperor's side, and Cao Mingde in front of him has to deal with not only the emperor, but also him. Cao Shaoqin is Cao Mingde's most proud chess piece, in order to let the emperor get rid of him, but Cao Mingde forgot one thing, that is, he never thought about really wanting to be an emperor, and his hatred for the emperor was not as deep as he imagined.

Xu Man and Dian fell. They blocked the crossbow arrows shot at the emperor at close range, although they were wearing heavy armor, but everyone was still hit by the arrow, and although Cao Mingde brought not many dead soldiers, they were all elite and strong soldiers, not comparable to ordinary dead soldiers.

Cao Yu pulled out his sword, he never thought that he would draw his sword again to protect his brother, thinking of the scenes on the battlefield back then, a nostalgic smile appeared in his eyes, "Brother Huang." The subordinate brother may have to go first, but until then, the subordinate brother will never let these rebels touch you. After speaking, the long sword in Cao Yu's waist was all unsheathed, pointing at the complacent Cao Mingde, "You have to give me justice." ”

"Kill him." Cao Mingde looked at Cao Yu who drew his sword. Shaking his head, he waved his hand, and the remaining dead men killed him and the emperor.

At this time, Li Ang arrived with the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Battalion, looking at Xu Man and Dian Han who fell to the ground with arrows stuck in their bodies and the black-clothed dead soldiers beside them, Li Ang thought of all the people who died in the river, and his eyes became cold and terrifying in an instant, "Protect Your Majesty and kill all those rebels." "Almost gritting my teeth. Leon uttered the words.

The sword was unsheathed, and Li Ang's swordsmanship killed the dead soldiers who besieged Cao Yu, looking at Li Ang and the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Battalion who suddenly appeared, Cao Mingde's face became extremely ugly, he didn't expect him to fall short again at a critical juncture.

Looking at Cao Mingde, who was about to take advantage of the chaos to escape, Cao Yu, who was stabbed several times in his body, stopped him, whether it was for the emperor or for himself. He has to make a break with Cao Mingde.

Hearing the sound of swords coming from the imperial study, those Cao Mingde's henchmen who were mixed in with Jinwu and Yulinwei were even more noisy. And Cao Anmin was also confused. He was almost about to turn around and go back, but was stopped by Gao Changgong, "Your Highness, you can't leave now, as soon as you leave, you will obey those rebellious hearts, you have to think twice!" ”

Looking at Gao Changgong, who was desperately dragging him, Cao Anmin's face was iron-blue, he gritted his teeth stubbornly, and finally did not move, and continued to pacify those who held Jinwu and Yu Linwei.

In the imperial study, all the dead soldiers were killed by Li Ang and the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Battalion, and only Cao Yu and Cao Mingde were still fighting. Seeing that Li Ang was about to step forward, the emperor called out to him, "This rebellion belongs to my brother, you can't rob it." ”

Li Ang stopped, he didn't know what the emperor thought, it was all at this time, and he still had to insist on such a thing, although he thought so, Li Ang couldn't disobey the emperor's will, he could only watch quietly from the sidelines.

'Ding! Cao Yu picked up Cao Mingde's long sword, the blade of the sword was against his throat, and there was a bloody mouth in his waist and abdomen. "Take it." Seeing that the emperor and Cao Yu had no intention of killing Cao Mingde, Li Ang said coldly, and suddenly the soldiers of the black cavalry battalion grabbed Cao Mingde fiercely, pressed him down and knelt in front of the emperor.

The sword in Cao Yu's hand fell to the ground, his body took a few steps backwards, and hit the emperor, he turned his head to look at the brother who was holding him, and smiled, "Brother Huang, the courtier brother didn't let those rebellions hurt you." "The wounds on his body were all suffered to protect the emperor.

"You're doing a good job, Ayu." The Emperor nodded, and called out the nickname of the Earth Brother, whom he hadn't called in thirty years.

Outside the imperial study, Zhi Jinwu and Yu Linwei became more and more impatient, they were really worried about the emperor's safety, and just when the situation was about to break out, the door of the imperial study suddenly collapsed, making a loud noise. Suddenly, everyone looked in the direction of the imperial study, Cao Anmin looked over blankly, and then he saw Li Ang, who was covered in blood.

Looking at the crowd outside the imperial study, Li Ang got out of the way, and behind him were the emperor and the imperial lieutenant who helped each other out. "Your Majesty, long live!" Leon suddenly roared from the sidelines, and then everyone shouted, "Long live, Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty, long live!" "Your Majesty, long live!" In the sound of a tsunami of mountains and mountains, Zhi Jinwu and Yu Linwei fell to one knee on the ground, slamming their fists against the iron armor on their chests, saluting their emperor.

In the next two days, countless people who the emperor considered a threat to his son were thrown into prison for rebellion, and the Legalist officials of the Supervisory Yuan followed the emperor's will, and all of them, whether innocent or not, were convicted.

After the battle of the Imperial Study, Leon returned home, and after seeing too many things, he suddenly felt an indescribable tiredness, and he really didn't want to get into any political struggle.

Feng Siniang and Lin Fengshuang approached the study together, since they came back, Li Ang rarely spoke, which made them very worried, but they always believed that their husband was not the kind of person who would fall easily, he was just thinking about something, something important.

On the third day, the day when the emperor's limit was approaching, someone came to the palace and asked Li Ang to see the emperor.

In the simple palace, the emperor and the prince sat together, and on their side were the crown prince and the crown princess, as well as the emperor's eldest grandson and the eldest Sima, who had just turned three, and there was no one else.

Looking at Li Ang, who was sitting down, the emperor looked in the direction of Wanzhou and said quietly, "If the chief is also there, then it can be regarded as a full of people." ”

"You are the person I chose for the crown prince, and you have also made great contributions, what do you want me to reward you?" The Emperor's gaze was on Leon.

"The minister wants to guard the border for Great Qin." Li Ang walked out of the banquet and looked at the emperor with a calm voice.

"You don't want to stay in Chang'an?" Looking at Li Ang, the emperor seemed to know his thoughts for a long time, and there was not much surprise on his face.

"Yes, I beg your Majesty's permission." Li Ang gave a military salute. Looking at Leon, the emperor did not answer, but closed his eyes.
