Chapter Twenty-Seven: A River of Blood

Liu Zhiyuan waited for a while, and Liu Chengyou hurried over under the leadership of the eunuch. At this time, Liu Chengyou went through some disguise, his forehead was bandaged, and blood oozed out of the bandage, which was really shocking.

Empress Li just glanced at it, her heart suddenly trembled, she stood up suddenly, her voice trembled, and said, "Son, you, what's wrong with you?" ”

Liu Chengyou ran up two steps, threw himself into Queen Li's arms, and cried silently: "Mother! ”

Empress Li felt pity for her son in her heart, and looked at her son's injury carefully, her hand just touched it, and Liu Chengyou gasped in pain, Empress Li had a gloomy face, glanced at Liu Zhiyuan, and said: "Your Majesty, even if there is anything wrong with Chengyou, but he is the prince after all, who dares to be so bold and beat him like this?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan clenched his fists, the joints clicked, and he was very angry. The crown prince is dead, and he just wants to set up a second son in the prince and take over the Han dynasty. But something happened to the second prince, is this a coincidence? No, this is not a coincidence, I'm afraid someone deliberately did it to cut off the Han dynasty.

Liu Zhiyuan snorted coldly and said, "Chengyou, what kind of person is it, liver and gallbladder like this?" ”

"Father, mother!" Liu Chengyou wiped the tears on his face, choked up and said the matter, of course, he concealed Yang Lian's offer and didn't talk about it, only said that because he had some contradictions with the privy envoy Yang Wei a few days ago, he felt inappropriate today, so he bought a gift and went to make amends, but Yang Wei was furious and led someone to beat him up. The injuries on his body are proof of this.

Liu Chengyou's just right expression and the injuries on his body made Liu Zhiyuan and Empress Li very angry, Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help but snort coldly, this Yang Wei, relying on being a privy envoy and holding military power, didn't put the second prince in his eyes, is this worth it?

Thinking of Yang Wei's recent performance, Liu Zhiyuan suddenly understood why Yang Wei didn't choose to set up Liu Chengyou as the prince, so it seems that Yang Wei has long had different intentions, or rather, he has colluded with a certain prince, so he will resist the appointment of Liu Chengyou as the prince.

This person must be eliminated, and not only him, but also those who are good friends with Yang Wei, such as Wang Zhang, in short, those who are left to the second prince must be courtiers who support him, and those who have prejudices against the second prince must be eliminated!

Thinking of this, Liu Zhiyuan called the eunuch and said, "Let Gao Xingzhou come to see me." ”

The eunuch responded and hurriedly retreated.

Liu Chengyou wiped his tears and said: "Father, Yang Wei is too rude, he even said that he single-handedly contributed to the world of the Han family, and without him, there would be no Han." ”

"Did he really say that?" Liu Zhiyuan held back his anger.

Liu Chengyou nodded seriously.

Liu Zhiyuan flicked his sleeves, this Yang Wei is too bold and must be removed.

Liu Zhiyuan waited for a while, and Gao Xingzhou, under the leadership of the eunuch, hurried over. "Wechen has seen Your Majesty." Gao Xing Zhou Shili.

"Aiqing is exempt!" Liu Zhiyuan was in good spirits, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gao Xingzhou said, glanced at Liu Zhiyuan, and wondered what happened?

Liu Zhiyuan's eyes flickered, and he quickly gave an order, although Gao Xingzhou was surprised, but His Majesty's order, how dare he disobey? immediately obeyed the order, took the Praetorian Guards out of the imperial city, and went straight to Shangshu Mansion. Along the way, so many cavalry roared past, and the people couldn't help but speculate, what happened?

Yang Lian also got the news at this time and immediately started the next step.

Gao Xingzhou took his son Gao Huaide and more than 100 other forbidden soldiers, and spent a stick of incense to rush to Yang Wei's Shangshu Mansion, at this time the door of Shangshu Mansion was closed, Gao Xingzhou nodded, and Gao Huaide immediately stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Bang Bang Bang!" Gao Huaide grabbed the knocker and clasped the door vigorously, however, there were more than a dozen knocks on the door, and there was still no response in Shangshu Mansion. It's not that there is no one in Shangshu Mansion, at least Yang Fu and Yang Wei's family are there, but Yang Fu follows the master's orders, no matter who comes, he won't open the door.

At this time, Yang Wei was discussing things with him in Wang Zhang's mansion, offending the second prince, this crime is not small, recently Shi Hongzhao, Su Fengji and others supported Liu Chengyou as the prince, but Yang Wei and Wang Zhang contradicted them and resolutely disagreed with this candidate. It can be said that at this moment, the two sides have become political enemies due to the relationship of interests. Now that Yang Wei accidentally injured the second prince, once the news spreads, Shi Hongzhao and Su Fengji will inevitably take the opportunity to attack Yang Wei and even Wang Zhang.

Wang Zhang also knew that this matter was quite tricky, but he was in a hurry, and he didn't have a better idea.

At this time, the two worried people didn't know about Yang Wei's mansion at all, and an even more shocking scene happened. Gao Huaide knocked on the door for a while, but no one opened the door, and when he was about to return, suddenly, from the high wall on the inside of Shangshu Mansion, seven or eight men dressed in black and covered with black cloth appeared, and they raised their bows and arrows together, shouted at Gao Xingzhou, Gao Huaide and others, and threw a round of arrows.

Although the Praetorian Guards were well-trained in armor, they were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of archers, especially Gao Xingzhou, who was at the front of the crowd, and when he saw the man in black, at least five or six arrows shot at him.

Although Gao Xingzhou was extremely tall and bold, he couldn't react for a while, two arrow feathers shot him in the chest, fortunately the armor on his body was very fine, so he was lucky, but an arrow feather grazed his ear and flew by, and a Praetorian Guard behind him was shot in the throat and killed on the spot.

After the group of black-clothed men shot a round of arrow feathers, they immediately shot another round, and seven or eight arrow feathers were all shot towards Gao Xingzhou. At this time, Gao Xingzhou had already reacted, stretched out his hand and quickly pulled out the blade, slashed left and right, and shot down the arrow feathers.

Gao Xingzhou was on guard at this time, and the long sword slashed left and right, safe and sound. He was about to speak, when suddenly, his back hurt, and when he looked back, he saw that on the tall building not far behind him, there were more than a dozen archers shooting continuously. The Praetorian Guards were attracted by the archers in the Shangshu Mansion at first, and they didn't expect that there were archers behind them, although there were many of them, it was useless, and they fell into chaos for a while.

In fact, the Praetorian Guard should not have been so vulnerable, but whether it was Gao Xingzhou or Gao Huaide, or even more than a hundred Praetorian Guard soldiers, they didn't expect that in this Kaifeng City, someone would be so bold and openly attack the Praetorian Guard soldiers, isn't this a rebellion?

Gao Xingzhou was hit by an arrow, and his body suddenly slowed down, and the arrow happened to drill through the gap in the armor, at least two inches pierced into the flesh, and Gao Xingzhou was sweating profusely on his forehead. Seeing this, Gao Huaide hurriedly stepped forward to help his father.

After a short period of confusion, the Praetorian Guard soldiers also spotted the enemy and began to draw their bows and arrows to return fire. The black-clothed people in Shangshu's Mansion also jumped off the city one after another and disappeared.

"Kill!" Gao Huaide snorted coldly, after placing his father, he asked people to protect his father, he carried a spear, took a few steps back, and ran towards the city wall, "Kick and kick", Gao Huaide used the momentum, supported the gun with his hand, and jumped up.

A man in black saw Gao Huaide suddenly appear on the city wall, and quickly pulled out his arrow feathers, and an arrow swished.

Gao Huaide shot down the arrow feather and jumped off the wall. Seeing that the situation was not good, the group of men in black quickly fled. Gao Huaide didn't want to chase them, he quickly opened the door, the Praetorian Guard soldiers shouted and killed them, many people were injured just now, held their breath, and entered the Shangshu Mansion, without waiting for Gao Huaide's orders, he killed people when he saw them, where did he care that he was men, women and children?

In just half an hour, in the Shangshu Mansion, there was already a sea of blood, and people could be seen rolling everywhere. Yang Wei's family, including the maids and guards, a total of more than 200 people, fell in a pool of blood, and these bestial Praetorian Guards even insulted the young and beautiful women in the mansion and killed them.

Gao Huaide once wanted to stop it, but this group of soldiers had already killed red eyes, and they couldn't care about it at all, Gao Huaide had to sigh, and after blocking all the Shangshu Mansion, he told his father Gao Xingzhou about the matter.

Gao Xingzhou had already bandaged his wounds, his injuries were not light, and he was old after all, and he was once in a coma, so he lost control of the situation in Shangshu's Mansion for a while, and by the time he knew, it was already too late. Gao Xingzhou closed his eyes, and at this time, he already felt that things were very bad.

Yang Wei is not only a secretary of the ministry, but also a privy envoy, even if he beats the second prince, he will definitely not rebel, and according to Gao Huaide, he killed all over the Shangshu Mansion, and he didn't see those black-clothed people, which means that he has fallen into the trap of others. But who designed it? Yang Wei's family is in trouble, who can get the greatest benefit?

Judging from the recent debate in the imperial court, Shi Hongzhao and Su Fengji seem to be the biggest beneficiaries, but judging from the current situation, the two should not know.

Gao Xingzhou knew that no matter what the matter was, the Shangshu Mansion family, old and young, and hundreds of lives, were all killed in his hands by Gao Xingzhou. It can be said that it is impossible for the Gao and Yang families to reconcile, they can only be enemies! And the kind that never dies!

However, so many people died in Shangshu Mansion, there was no figure of Yang Wei at all, because Gao Xingzhou arranged the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard at the back door of Shangshu Mansion in advance, so Gao Xingzhou thought that it was impossible for Yang Wei to escape, so there was only one answer, Yang Wei was not in Shangshu Mansion. Since Yang Wei is not in Shangshu Mansion, it is more likely that this group of black-clothed people was not arranged by Yang Wei.

Gao Xingzhou sighed in his heart, thinking that he had been hunting all his life, but he didn't expect to come to an end, but he was poked in the eye by a finch, and he was actually plotted. But things have come to this point, Gao Xingzhou has only one way to go, that is, to oppose the guest, and to beat Yang Wei and even Wang Zhang into the anti-party, only by charging them with rebellion, he Gao Xingzhou can continue to survive, for the sake of the Gao family, Gao Xingzhou has to fight.

It's just that where did Yang Wei go? Gao Xingzhou thought, the target was locked on Wang Zhang, these two people are from the same county, and the relationship is irreversible, it is very likely that Yang Wei went to find Wang Zhang after beating the second prince.

Gao Xingzhou immediately decisively ordered to leave a few people to guard the Shangshu Mansion, and the rest of the people went to Wang Zhang's mansion to arrest Yang Wei. (To be continued.) )
