Chapter 33: Forcing the Palace

Seeing that his father didn't think so, Li Hongji didn't tell the difference, the matter has been done to this extent, what is the difference between it and rebellion? I'm afraid the only difference is the name. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Qingjun's side is a name that must not be thrown away. So Li Hongji bowed down very seriously and said slowly.

"Father, the son said that Yang Lian is the old prince of the previous dynasty, he came to the Tang Dynasty to subvert the imperial court, and the son of the minister can only clear the monarch's side for the sake of the Tang Dynasty." Li Hongji was loud.

Li Jing was silent for a while, and said, "King Yan, what do you want?" ”

"The father and the emperor just want to remove the filth for the Tang Dynasty and sweep away the villains in front of the father, especially those with bad intentions." Li Hongji reiterated again.

Li Jing sneered, emboldening himself, in fact, he was a little worried, because according to the plan, it should not be like this, but King Yan suddenly appeared in front of him with a group of people, all of them fierce and vicious, saying that they wanted to clear the king's side, but in fact, if he really wanted to kill the king, Li Jing would lose more than he gained.

"Father, Weichen begs for an order to kill the traitors of the Five Kingdoms, Li Jingsui and Yang Lian, and kill them all over the house. Not a single one is left. Li Hongji bowed his hand.

Li Jing pursed his lips and didn't say a word, Li Hongji is like this, it is obvious that he is forcing the palace. He thought for a moment and said, "What if I don't agree?" ”

"If the father does not agree, the son can only do it first, kill these two people, and then ask the father for the guilt." Li Hongji said.

Unknowingly, Li Jing's forehead was already sweating, although he knew a lot about the mutiny, but such a thing happened to him, it would inevitably make people feel uneasy, especially when the plan fell through, it made him even more frightened, what is going on?

Chen Dongshen, Zhu Lingyun, Zhou Hongzuo and others saw that the Son of Heaven did not speak, they all clasped their fists and shouted: "Please give an order to your Majesty to eliminate the traitors of the country, and return the Tang Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"You, you!" Li Jing raised his hand and pointed at everyone, his body trembled with anger, and he glanced back, hoping that the ambush soldiers arranged by Chen Keyan could save him.

"Is my father looking for General Chen?" Li Hongji said again.

Li Jing almost blurted out and said, "How do you know? ”

"Erchen naturally knows, because he is also Erchen's person." Li Hongji laughed, and his voice filled the imperial study.

"No, no, it can't be." Li Jing couldn't believe it, how could even Chen Keyan be his person?

Li Hongji said lightly: "Father, the reason why General Chen took refuge in his sons is because he has him. As he spoke, Chen Dongshen stood up, he held his head high, looking triumphant, because he understood that most of today's affairs had been completed, and the next thing was how to kill Yang Lian and kill King Qi. Once these two goals are accomplished, the situation in Jinling will be decided.

"Okay, come out." Chen Dongshen said.

As soon as the words fell, Chen Keyan paced slowly and walked over from the rear, his eyes swept Li Jing coldly, and he first saluted Li Hongji, and said, "Weichen has seen His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

"Even you betrayed me!" Li Jing was furious and threw out the things hidden in his hands.

Chen Keyan dodged sideways, looked at Li Jing lightly, and said, "Your Majesty appoints traitorous ministers, and I have to wait for the Qing monarch to do it as a last resort." ”

Li Jing pursed his lips, his eyes were like eagle falcons, swept over everyone, and said, "I must kill you and kill all over the house." ”

"Haha, in this way, Your Majesty's meaning Weichen and the others have already understood." Zhou Hongzuo laughed, the words of the Son of Heaven are forcing the generals to kill him, for the sake of the future, for the sake of high-ranking officials, he doesn't mind killing today's son, but he is not stupid, this kind of thing will not be done in person, just leave it to others.

Li Jing felt a deep sense of powerlessness at this time, he almost collapsed on the ground, Gao Ze supported him with blood on his face, and the two snuggled up to each other like this.

"You rebels and thieves, even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape. King Qi and Marquis Wu are outside, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, you can't escape! Li Jing said cruel words, still emboldening himself.

"Yang Lian? I'm afraid he's dead! Li Hongji laughed, he was also emboldening himself, and at the same time hitting Li Jing's confidence. At the same time, he guessed in his heart, did Zhou Ye kill Yang Lian on his side? Will Guo Rong have another trick?

Guo Rong, that person, he can only use and defend.

At this time, Guo Rong was galloping on horseback, and after killing Yang Lian according to the plan, they would rush to this target and assassinate Li Jingsui. Li Jingsui is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and he has mastered the soldiers and horses of the entire Jinling City, and his status is actually more important than Yang Lian. However, because of his character, his importance has been weakened, and the assassination of Yang Lian is the most important. Now that Yang Lian is dead, even if the assassination of King Qi fails, things will be much easier.

When Guo Rong was riding a horse and galloping, a woman's figure kept appearing in his mind. That figure, I'm afraid it will linger for the rest of my life. Perhaps, what you can't get is always the best. After Guo Rong rode his horse and galloped for a distance of more than five miles, he made a decision in his heart, he restrained the war horse, and ordered Zhao Kuangyin and Shi Shouxin's people to support the assassin of the King of Qi, and he had something to do.

Zhao Kuangyin saw that he was anxious, how could he not understand? In this regard, he could only shake his head slightly and advised: "Lord Wang, pay attention to safety." ”

"I'll be sure to pay attention!" Guo Rong said, parting ways with everyone at a fork in the road, Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Shouxin and others continued to rush to support, while he went to ride his horse and ran towards Yang's mansion.

The distance of more than five miles is short and short, Guo Rong arrived outside the Yang Mansion, and saw that the streets were already full of soldiers from the Yang Mansion, and they were all very vigilant. Guo Rong knew that this road could not be taken, so he took a detour, which was a waste of time.

When he found a remote alley, where to enter the Yang Mansion, the sky was already bright, the sun had risen, Guo Rong was a little hesitant, on the one hand, he didn't know the situation in the imperial city, on the other hand, did Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, die? Moreover, according to the plan, at the latest, he will retreat with Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Shouxin and others. At that time, no matter whether Li Hongji succeeded in rebelling or not, he could not stay for a long time.

Guo Rong gritted his teeth, and finally climbed the tree, five steps away, there was the tall city wall of Yang Mansion, which was also covered with gravel, very sharp, Guo Rong smiled bitterly, this Yang Lian, making this kind of thing on the city wall in the mansion, is not afraid of bad luck at all.

The distance of five steps was a little far, Guo Rong pondered for a while, took a deep breath, held his strength, and jumped in. The ground in Yang's Mansion was quite flat, and Guo Rong took advantage of the situation to roll twice on the ground, although he was a little embarrassed, he was not injured.

In order to deal with Yang Lian, Guo Rong is quite familiar with Yang Lian's terrain, and the structure and layout of the house are not to be explained, but the general direction is still known. He glanced at the sun, judged the direction, and walked cautiously towards the backyard. Marigold Fu must have lived in the backyard.

Along the way, there were twice as many soldiers patrolling the Yang Mansion than usual, in fact, this situation had already surprised Guo Rong very much, because he knew that Yang Lian's head had been cut off with a knife, in other words, the Yang Mansion was able to maintain a situation without panic even though it had lost its master, which was enough to shock people. Obviously, there should be high-ranking people in the Yang Mansion, or people with high status, who are in charge of the overall situation, so the Yang Mansion will be so calm.

Guo Rong slowly touched it, this is a relatively spacious room, Guo Rong cautiously approached, poked a hole in the window paper, Guo Rong got closer, there was really someone in the room, and a haunting face appeared in front of him. Guo Rong was excited for a while, this person is the posture of the emperor, if he can really take her away and marry her, then won't he become the emperor?

Guo Rong's mind was spinning rapidly, he originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the Yang Mansion to take away Fu Jinzhan but the current Yang Mansion was not so chaotic. So that he didn't have too good a chance. Guo Rong retreated to the side to think, and suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps came, Guo Rong didn't have time to think, and hurriedly hid to the side.

Several heavily armed Yang Mansion family members stood still outside the door, and soon there was a voice again, Guo Rong listened to it, and was slightly surprised, these people are here to protect Fu Jinzhan , this is difficult to do, it seems that Fu Jinzhan cannot be taken away. When Guo Rong was thinking, the number of soldiers patrolling inside and outside the Yang Mansion gradually increased, Guo Rong saw that the Yang Mansion was heavily guarded, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and sneaked out of the Yang Mansion, and after thinking about it for a while, he chose to go to Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Shouxin and others.

At this time, some places on the streets of Jinling have been chaotic, some soldiers and officials blocked the streets, Guo Rong had to take a detour, walked halfway, Guo Rong faintly felt bad, because the actions of the Yang Mansion were too weird, Yang Lian was killed, the Yang Mansion was actually not chaotic, what kind of person is this person in the Yang Mansion to preside over the overall situation? This person is also a little too powerful.

Guo Rong felt that something was wrong, but he had seen that face, it was Yang Lian, especially the scar on his face, which was clearly imprinted in his eyes. Guo Rong guessed in his heart, after a few whips and whipping on the war horse, he felt that it was better to find Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Shouxin and others as soon as possible, and the most important thing was to withdraw from Jinling.

In the imperial city, the atmosphere has reached an extremely tense moment, Chen Keyan's betrayal made Li Jing lose his last support, in the face of many fierce palace courtiers, Li Jing almost wanted to bite the silver teeth, his eyes swept at everyone one by one, and kept chanting: "Chaotic ministers and thieves, chaotic ministers and thieves, will not die well!" ”

Li Hongji looked at his father lightly and said, "Father, the son is just the side of the Qing monarch." ”

"Haha!" Li Jing laughed, his voice very hoarse.

Just when Li Jing was laughing, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, Zhou Ye was carrying a cloth bag in his hand, the lower end of the cloth bag had been soaked in blood, Li Hongji saw this scene, and his heart was happy, he knew that if Zhou Ye could come, it would prove that the matter had been done.

Behind Zhou Ye, it was Xiao Yan, the secretary of Dali Temple, who saw him smiling, stepped forward, arched his hand towards Li Hongji, and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan!" ”

Li Hongji bowed slightly towards him, looked at Zhou Ye again, and said, "General Zhou, have you succeeded?" ”

"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!" Zhou Ye said and handed the cloth bag to Li Hongji.

"Haha, haha! Sure enough, the sky has eyes! Li Hongji laughed, he took the cloth bag, opened it and saw that the head inside had been stained red with blood, which made people a little indistinguishable, but the iconic scar made Li Hongji understand that this must be Yang Lian's head.

"Father, Yang Lian's dog thief has been ambushed!" Li Hongji walked a few steps, threw the cloth bag to the ground, and his head rolled out, staining the ground of the imperial study red with blood. The hideous face surprised everyone.

Li Jing was no exception, he jumped up in shock, Yang Lian actually died?

"Guo Rong is ambushing Li Jingsui." Zhou Ye whispered and said in Li Hongji's ear.

Li Hongji nodded, as soon as Yang Lian died, Li Jingsui was like a rootless Ping, so there was nothing to worry about. In fact, what he was worried about was that Guo Rong would escape, after all, this person was too smart and too bold to act, and he would definitely become his fierce rival in the future. Li Hongji also has a plan in his heart, that is, to seize Guo Rong and push everything that happened in Jinling today onto Guo Rong.

When Li Jing saw Xiao Yan, he was even more surprised and couldn't close his mouth, and said in a lost voice: "Xiao Aiqing, you, you!" ”

Xiao Yan stepped forward slowly, bowed down, looked very polite, and said, "Weichen Xiao Yan has seen Your Majesty. ”

"Xiao Yan, Your Majesty treats you well, why are you like this?" Gao Ze was on the side, he couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted loudly.

Xiao Yan laughed and said, "Eunuch, how can you speak in military affairs?" Get lost! ”

Gao Ze was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Li Jing gritted his teeth and asked almost word for word: "Xiao Yan, have I ever failed you?" ”

"Your Majesty, what Xiao Yan is doing now is just for the Tang Dynasty. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been extravagant, and the treasury of Jinling is almost empty. Your Majesty, now it is a troubled time, and you need to work hard, but Your Majesty's actions are not done by a Ming Jun at all, but by a fool! ”

"Datang is under the governance of His Majesty, the party is constantly fighting, and the smoke is everywhere, if Datang is still in charge of His Majesty, I am afraid that his life will not be long! King Yan is a Ming monarch, young and promising, and he will definitely be able to revitalize the Tang Dynasty! Weichen proposed to establish King Yan as the prince of the Tang Dynasty! Xiao Yan said.

Li Jing looked at him and shouted, "If I don't allow it, what can I do? ”

"I'm afraid that this will not be up to Your Majesty." Xiao Yan laughed, glanced at everyone, and said: "Your Majesty, now that the palace city is under the control of King Yan, Your Majesty's jade seal and gold seal are all under control, as long as you write a holy decree, establish King Yan as the prince, and then issue an edict, Your Majesty will abdicate and become the emperor, let the prince succeed to the throne, and take charge of the Tang Dynasty, these things are not difficult." ”

"Shaft, you dare!" Li Jing was furious, and looked at Xiao Yan with a staring gaze, like a tiger descending from the mountain, about to tear Xiao Yan apart at any time.

Xiao Yan was not afraid, he laughed out loud, and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you dare?" In the imperial city today, there are not many generals loyal to His Majesty, and now that King Yan has controlled the situation, Weichen thinks that His Majesty should be more aware of current affairs, so as not to be embarrassed on face! ”
