Chapter 473: The dove occupies the magpie's nest
"Wan Gongzi, the emperor has something to summon, please go quickly!" The shrill voice of the little eunuch came from outside the door.
Zhao Tianci smiled bitterly, "Now this Emperor Xizong comes to me for everything, as if there is no one else around him except me." ”
Ruri smiled, "There really isn't anyone around him. ”
Zhao Tianci said, "But he is by no means as simple as it seems. ”
Jade Mada said, "Then you have to be more careful." ”
Zhao Tianci nodded, got up and walked out of the gate, and walked out with the little eunuch.
"Father-in-law, isn't this the way to the palace?" Zhao Tianci asked.
The little eunuch said, "Master Wan, the emperor is not in the palace. ”
Zhao Tianci and the little eunuch walked all the way, the snow on both sides of the road was piled up, and he had to look up to see the top, the more he walked, the more strange he felt, the air was filled with a strange smell, and the people on the road were very scarce.
After about a quarter of an hour, they came to a large clearing, not far from the Drunken Immortal Tower. Zhao Tianci saw a large group of people standing there from a distance, Xizong sat on a wide chair without saying a word, and a group of people in armor stood behind him, also without saying a word.
What surprised Zhao Tianci was that what was piled up in the open space was not snow, but black corpses.
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Tianci came to the front and bowed.
"Wan Gongzi, look at those people!" Xizong glanced at him and pointed to the mountain of corpses in front of him.
Zhao Tianci looked back, "Your Majesty, what's going on?" ”
Xizong said, "I don't know what's going on, Wan Gongzi is brave and strategic, you go and see if you can find any useful clues." ”
Zhao Tianci bowed down, slowly walked to the pile of corpses, and lowered his head to observe carefully.
Judging from the attire, there is no doubt that it should be a soldier, and it is a soldier of the Jin country. They had calm faces, died "peacefully", and there were no visible scars on their bodies.
Zhao Tianci frowned slightly, judging from the state of death, they should have been caused by a sudden attack, but what kind of attack could make them die so quickly, and there were no obvious scars on the vital parts of their bodies?
He glanced up and down, his heart moved slightly, he got up and came to Xizong and said, "Your Majesty, I can't see what's going on." ”
Xizong said, "I have already found someone to identify, these people should be the family soldiers under Wan Yanliang." ”
"Huh?" Zhao Tianci was really shocked, "Wanyan Liang's private soldier? Aren't they already out of town? How did it end up here? ”
Xizong looked at him for a moment and said, "I don't know what happened, how they went and returned, and they all died here. ”
Zhao Tianci suddenly remembered something, stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, your face is bright......"
Xizong shook his head, "No trace of him was found!" ”
Zhao Tianci thought carefully for a while, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, have you blocked the news?" ”
Xizong nodded, "Of course! ”
Zhao Tianci said curiously, "That's weird, is it fake that Wanyan Liang went out of the city?" ”
Xizong's face changed slightly, "Impossible! As soon as this sentence came out, his expression changed greatly, "Could it be that he went and returned, and did not go north?" ”
Zhao Tianci said, "It is very likely that this is the case." But...... What is his intention in doing so? ”
Xizong's face changed greatly, "He ......"
Zhao Tianci said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, you can't go back to the palace for the time being." ”
Xi Zongteng stood up suddenly, "You mean he ......?"
Zhao Tianci nodded, "It must be so, but I don't know if he has learned the news that all his subordinates have been killed." ”
Xizong clenched his teeth and clenched his fists, "Go back to the palace!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Tianci hurriedly said, "Have you thought about it?" ”
Xizong said, "The one who should come is always coming, I want to see who is making a fool of it!" ”
There are more than 5,000 people in the City Defense Division, and there are about 2,000 guards in the palace.
Xizong's face was cold, and he didn't say a word all the way, and Zhao Tianci and the others didn't dare to make a sound when they followed behind.
Soon, they were in front of the palace.
The doors of the palace were wide open, and there was no one inside. Xizong waved his hand, "The people of the City Defense Division, wait outside, and the Praetorian Guards will go in with me." He glanced back at Zhao Tianci, "Master Wan, you also come in." ”
Two thousand Praetorian Guards immediately dispersed in all directions after entering the palace gate, escorting Xizong and others directly to the outside of the main hall.
The door of the hall was closed, and there was no one on duty next to it, so Xizong took two steps forward, "Who is inside?" ”
"Welcome the emperor back to the palace!" A strange voice came from inside, and the two doors of the main hall creaked open.
"Sure enough, it's you!" As soon as Xizong saw the people inside, his face suddenly sank.
The main hall was supposed to be where he was sitting, but at this time it was occupied by a person with a big head and a small body, and there were hundreds of soldiers with bows and arrows standing there on the left and right.
"It's me!" Wan Yanliang stood up, "You still dare to come back?" ”
Xizong sneered, "This is my place, why can't I come back?" ”
"Hahaha!" Wan Yan Liang laughed, "This is your place?" You are the grandson of Taizu, and so am I! Why can you occupy this place and I can't? ”
Xizong snorted coldly, "You want to rebel? ”
Wan Yanliang shook his head, "I'm not rebelling, Dajin Country is still Dajin Kingdom, but this emperor should be done by me!" ”
"Why?" Xizong asked with a sneer.
"Why? With this! Wan Yanliang waved his hand violently, "Bring it up!" With his order, dozens of soldiers armed with broadswords and spears poured out from behind, escorting a group of old and young women and children over.
"Wan Yanliang, how dare you hold my family hostage?" Xizong shouted angrily.
"Hahaha!" Wan Yanliang laughed strangely again, "Didn't you also kidnap my family?" ”
Xizong's face changed slightly, "They ...... They were only temporarily confined to the prison, and they were not neglected in the slightest! ”
"Really?" Wan Yanliang snorted coldly, "But how did I hear that they are not very good now?" ”
Xizong's face changed greatly, and he casually glanced at Zhao Tianci beside him, "You...... Who are you listening to? ”
Wan Yan Liang said, "You don't care who I listen to." Not only did I invite your family to come over, but I also invited other people for you, who you want to see the most! After saying that, he waved his hand again, "Bring it on!" ”
Another group of people was escorted out from behind by soldiers.
Xizong's gaze swept over those people one by one, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Wan Yan Liang said, "I did the agreement you made with me, and all the people you want are here, so what about mine?" ”
Xizong was stunned for a moment, "Our agreement? Did I say I wanted to see them? ”
Wan Yanliang smiled, "I didn't say it." But I just want to make things beautiful and let you see my sincerity for yourself! As he spoke, he said in a cold voice, "Do it!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers around him rushed forward with large swords and spears, and before they could realize what was going on, they all fell in a pool of blood.
Xizong was stunned, and Zhao Tianci was also stunned, from the time those people were escorted out to the time they were killed, it was less than a few breaths before and after, and Wan Yanliang's methods were too vicious.
Wan Yan Liang was very satisfied with the reactions of everyone below, he sat back on the dragon chair, and said lightly, "Now that my business is done, it's your turn!" ”
Xizong's face changed several times, "It's my turn?" But now you have my place! ”
"That's right!" Wan Yan Liang said, "It's time for you to announce your abdication and give way to me!" This is our new condition. ”
Xizong's face turned strange, "Why? ”
Wan Yanliang laughed and said, "Why? Of course, you can't just rely on the people here. I know your City Defense Division and Janissaries are here, but how many of them are combined? ”
"Seven thousand, how?" Xizong asked coldly.
"Then I might as well tell you a secret!" Wan Yan Liang said with interest, "My family has a total of 8,500 soldiers, and they are now distributed all over the imperial city, as long as I give an order, your imperial city will ...... Whatever I want it to become, it will become! ”
"Really?" Xizong laughed and said, "Sure enough, he was born as a lowly breed, and even his thoughts are so cheap!" ”
"What did you say?!" Wan Yanliang seemed to have been stabbed in the sore spot, and jumped up with a strange scream, "Bastard thing!" Do you believe that I'm going to kill them right now? As he spoke, he drew his steel knife and came to the group of trembling old and young women and children.
Xizong was stunned for a moment, "If you dare to touch a single hair of them, I will immediately order your family to be executed!" ”
Wan Yan Liang was stunned for a moment, "Okay!" I don't move them! Let's wait a while, when my family comes here, I'll kill you together!" ”
Xizong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and Zhao Tianci suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I'll invite his family here!" ”
"You can't!" As soon as Wan Yan Liang saw that it was him, he immediately shouted, "Master Wan, your White Tatar Department has been too active this time, which makes people have to be suspicious!" ”
"Lord Wang, are you afraid that I will hold your family hostage?" Zhao Tianci asked with a smile.
"Not bad!" Wan Yan Liang said.
"The prince is too worried!" Zhao Tianci said, "My subordinates together are only twenty people, how many people do you have, and how many people does the emperor have?" ”
Xi Zong said, "I think Wan Gongzi is trustworthy!" ”
"Trustworthy?" Wan Yanliang grinned and said, "The truth will be revealed in two days, so ...... My emperor, brother, I still suggest that you arrest them all first, and then talk about it later. ”
Xizong laughed and said, "You still recognize me as the emperor?" Do you still know that I am your brother? ”
Wan Yan Liang said, "Two different things! The four major tribes have been greatly damaged, so why should the little White Tatars be afraid? I'm just worried that there are spies from the south mixed up! ”
"A spy from the south?" Zhao Tianci laughed, "Lord Wang, then I have to ask you, you sent someone from the Southern Dynasty to check if there are any spies from the Southern Dynasty in my White Tatar Department, what does the prince want?" (To be continued.) )
