Chapter 55 Jun Qian Chop Pei

In the dim evening, wisps of cooking smoke had risen over the city of Beijing.

The curling smoke and the falling snowflakes in the sky make the whole city of Beijing like a fog.

The snow on the streets of the city had just been shoveled up to the sides of the road in the morning, but after only a day, it had already accumulated a thick layer. On the white snow, there were already messy black footprints all over the ground.

Groups of soldiers had already taken to the streets, and before the time came, the soldiers had begun to close the doors between the squares. Between each street intersection, there were also military troops who began to set up cards.

These soldiers included the usual black-robed gendarmerie military police officers wearing red armbands, as well as the Jinwu Guards and Yulin Guards wearing new and exquisite Praetorian Guard armor. There are even a large number of junior students of the Martial Arts Hall who only wear light armor and do not have military rank epaulettes on their shoulders.

In addition to this group of soldiers, there will be groups of light cavalry wearing black bright armor galloping on the streets from time to time, and among the cavalry of each team, you can see a silver royal forest silver armor halberd guard. These palace guards with official positions of seven grades have all become temporary commanders of a team of non-commissioned officers at this time.

One after another black battle flags fluttered by, making the entire city of Beijing instantly slaughtered.

In each cavalry team, a cavalryman loudly announced along the street: "By the order of His Royal Highness King Chen, from now on, martial law will be imposed in the capital!" Everyone should immediately return to their homes and wait for the examination, and they are not allowed to go out, otherwise they will be killed! ”

The stern announcements over and over again made pedestrians on the street return to their homes one after another, and none of them dared to go out. The cavalry made announcements all the way, and posted notices everywhere.

Chen Kefu changed into the Mingguang battle armor that he hadn't worn for a long time, carrying a snow-bright horizontal knife in his hand, carrying one hundred and eight royal forest gold armor guards with knives, and many royal forest bronze armor guards, some of these bronze armor guards, some holding lances, some holding Mo knives, and some holding bows. A team is lined up in a neat row.

At this time, everyone followed Chen Kefu straight to the He'an Palace in the west of the palace, and everyone followed closely.

Tang Jinyun, director of the Secret Service Department, Li Wusheng, director of the Investigation Department, Li Gang, director of the Police Department, Zhao Wei, director of the Military Police Department, the commander of the Royal Forest Golden Armor Guard, the Commander of the Royal Forest Silver Armor Guard, the Commander of the Royal Forest Bronze Armor Guard, the Commander of the Royal Forest Iron Guard, the Commander of the Yulin Guard, the Commander of the Jin Wuwei, and other generals who controlled the military guards in the capital all arrived.

Chen Kefu nodded, "Is everything under control?" ”

Investigation Division Li Wusheng said, "Your Highness, rest assured, we have a lot of evidence, this time these clans in the capital who dare to jump out, as well as the former Hebei surrender officials and generals who are secretly causing trouble, have been investigated by us." Now the capital has been closed, and the streets of Fangmen have fallen. The Praetorian Guard has been dispatched, and the next step is to wipe out these chaotic parties by following the map. ”

"Well, I will never allow our court to control a place like this. Those who go along prosper, and those who go against it die. The way they have chosen, and they will have the bitter fruit of their own suffering. Confirmed Pei Shiju and other officials are in He'an Palace at this time? Chen Kefu said.

"That Pei Shiju is a treacherous and slippery, as if he had already smelled something, and before we made a move, he had already run into He'an Palace, probably because he wanted to rely on His Majesty to save his life."

Chen Kefu smiled, "The capital is destined to lose a lot of heads tonight, and I have already booked this one of his Pei Shiju." ”

"Go to He'an Palace!"

Chen Kefu led the crowd through the palace gates, and the guards guarding the palace saluted one after another. &*．． Fastest Update**

When he arrived at He'an Palace, he found that the residence of the little emperor was actually very lively at this time, and dozens of people in the palace gathered together.

The imperial guards stayed outside the palace, and the other commanders followed Chen Kefu into the palace. Everyone is more than armored soldiers, the momentum is fierce and murderous. …,

In the He'an Palace, the little emperor Yang Gao sat at the top, and on his right was Empress Xiao, who had not been seen for many days. I haven't seen her for a long time, but she is much more smart and bright. Although there are no bright colors on the body, and the clothes are all elegant, there is more and more of a chic and attractive taste.

Seeing Chen Kefu staring at her, Xiao Houmei was stunned and twisted her head slightly to the side.

Chen Kefu smiled slightly, looking at Empress Xiao's expression just now, but he could have let go of the knot in his heart and calmly accepted today's life. looked to the side, but saw that on the side of Empress Xiao, it was Yang Jier, the eldest princess of Izumo. As soon as he came in, he only saw Empress Xiao at a glance, but even Yang Ji'er, who was with Empress Xiao, didn't see it, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart.

Since he had a relationship with Empress Xiao, he felt that he was getting more and more distant from Yang Jier. Maybe it's because of the Yang family in the middle, Izumo is also a lot lighter than him, and now that there is Princess Chen's eldest grandson Wuji in charge of the harem, she is becoming more and more indifferent. Usually, except for her mother Empress Xiao and her sister Princess Nanyang, they usually stay in their own bedrooms and rarely leave.

In addition to Empress Xiao and Izumo, there was also the eldest princess of Nanyang in the He'an Palace at this time, as well as her son Yuwen Zen Master. In addition to their family, Pei Shiju and several Hebei ministers were sitting at the entrance of the palace, talking to the emperor and Empress Xiao from a distance.

As soon as Pei Shiju saw Chen Kefu dressed up in such a fully armed manner, his face couldn't help but turn a little whiter, and the sweat on his head had already flowed down. This time, the rumors in the capital were promoted by his efforts behind the scenes, but he didn't expect to be targeted by Chen Kefu early. In the evening, when he heard that his subordinates came to ask for a reward, saying that the people had destroyed all the temples in the capital, but the court did not react at all, he already had a premonition.

He has been in office for many years, and he has been Yang Guang's confidant and minister before, and he is known as the prime minister, so he naturally understands the tricks of power. He understood immediately that Chen Kefu was deliberately digging a pit and waiting for them to jump, and then he could clean himself up clearly.

Thinking of Chen Kefu's ruthlessness, even the entire clan in Hebei and Shandong was the collision, and he immediately came to the palace first. I wanted to ask the little emperor to protect him once, but I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the palace, I happened to meet Empress Xiao and the two eldest princesses who were also there, and he sat here and talked for a long time, but he didn't say a word to the point. Seeing that Chen Kefu had come to the palace, one of his hearts had reached his throat.

When the little emperor saw Chen Kefu wearing armor and carrying a horizontal knife into the palace, his face was also a little pale with fright. But after Chen Kefu saluted him, he regained a lot of courage. Yang Gao sat down and walked to Chen Kefu's approach, "Listen to Lord Pei's words, because of the previous borrowing of grain, now there are many people in Hebei who have reacted fiercely, and even the local people have made trouble. I don't know much about these political affairs, but I also hope that Shang's father can be more lenient, after all, he can't lose the prestige of the court. ”

Chen Kefu smiled, "Thank you Your Majesty for your correction, this matter has been arranged by this king, there is no need for Your Majesty to work hard, Your Majesty is still young, it is better to read more scriptures and history, as for the affairs of the court, just leave it to this king and the ministers in the court." ”

Yang Gao looked at Chen Kefu's answer, and his heart was annoyed, but he didn't dare to have a slight discoloration on his face, and said with a smile, "What Father Shang said is very good, I have recently been studying the county school textbook compiled by the Education Department of the Ministry of Rites, which was newly established by the imperial court, and this set of books contains four books and five classics, which are very rich, especially there are several newly compiled Gewu and astronomy and geography book boxes, but they are very novel, and I am very happy to read them. ”

"That's fine."

The little emperor smiled, "Father Shang heard that the eldest princess of Izumo was already happy, so he couldn't wait to come to see the imperial sister?" ”…,

"Joy? Izumo is happy? Chen Kefu was surprised.

Princess Izumo hurriedly said in the back, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you wouldn't tell Your Highness about this first, but Your Majesty forgot about it." ”

Yang Gao smiled, "Sister Huang, such a big happy event is naturally to be told to Father Shang, so why hide it." ”

Of course, it's a good thing that Izumo has a child, but he didn't come here today for this, Chen Kefu stepped forward to talk to Izumo for a while, and then turned to look at Pei Shiju.

"Master Pei, the investigation department reported that you and all the former Hebei officials here sent their families to spread rumors in the capital, and the riots that occurred in the capital today were also instigated by you, and even planned to incite the people to set fire to the city, I don't know, what is your explanation for this matter?"

Facing Chen Kefu's cold voice, Pei Shiju sweated like rain.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged. The old minister has served the first emperor for half his life, and has been the king of the three dynasties of the Great Sui, and he is even more loyal to my Great Sui, and has no two hearts. After all these years of dedication for the sake of the Great Sui, how could he do such a thing, and ask His Majesty to call the shots. ”

Chen Kefu took a book of folds from Li Wusheng's hand, threw it beside Pei Shiju, and said coldly, "The evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?" ”

Pei Shiju didn't look at the folds on the ground, turned his head to Yang Gao and just kowtowed. "Your Majesty, please be the master of the old minister. His Royal Highness King Chen must have listened to the villain's words, someone wants to frame Yu Chen, and if he wants to add to the crime, there is no excuse. ”

Empress Xiao didn't expect such a thing to happen, she asked the palace maid to pick up the fold and hurriedly read it, but she was extremely surprised, "King Chen, I'm afraid that there is a misunderstanding in this matter, Pei Qing's family is loyal to His Majesty and Da Sui, how can they incite the people to rebel." ”

Izumo is also on the side to persuade.

Chen Kefu waved his hand, "The sages have always been trained, and harem women are not allowed to interfere in politics. The queen mother and the eldest princess don't have to say much. ”

Taking a step forward, he looked directly at the little emperor Yang Gao, "May I ask Your Majesty, if the minister instructs people to spread rumors and incite the people to rebel, according to the laws of the Great Sui, what crime should he be guilty of!" ”

The little emperor was so pierced by that gaze that he didn't dare to look at each other, and only after a long time did he shout, "If anyone spreads rumors and incites rebellion, according to the laws of the Great Sui, he should be punished with death, and he will be killed on the spot." However, "

Chen Kefu interrupted him loudly, and said to the imperial guards behind, "Your Majesty has a decree, Pei Shiju and others deliberately spread rumors and incite the people to rebel, in order to rebel, according to the law to punish the nine clans, Your Majesty has already announced the decree, you still don't immediately implement it!" ”

"Yes!"

A row of guards in the imperial forest bronze armor Mo knife with Mo knives in their hands stepped forward in unison, only to see the light of the knife flashing, Pei Shiju and the others' cries for help stopped abruptly, a cavity of blood spurted out, and the head fell from the air into the hall, rolled several times, and rolled in front of the little emperor Yang Gao.

The crest of the skull had fallen off, and the hair had fallen apart. The head stained with blood was extremely hideous, but Pei Shiju's eyes were still wide with anger, as if he couldn't believe that Chen Kefu would be so unhesitating, on top of the hall in front of the emperor, let people cut off his head, and he would not be blind.

The voices of porphy and porphy sounded one after another.

A strange knife flashed like lightning, and more than a dozen Hebei officials in the palace who followed Pei Shiju into the palace were all in different places.

There was a moment of silence in the temple.

Only a few headless cavities remained, spurting blood from the severed neck, and still trembling unconsciously.

"Ahh ~”

There was a palace maid in the hall who watched this bloody scene, couldn't control it anymore, and screamed in a lost voice. The sharp voice echoed in the hall, and before anyone could stop, the palace maid had already fainted.

After more than a dozen Modao guards finished cutting people, they very calmly wiped the blood stains on the knife on the headless corpse a few times, turned around and returned to Chen Kefu's back, standing neatly. However, the blood stains on the knife that were still faintly dried made the little emperor in the palace look like ashes. …,

His lips trembled and his face turned pale, and he stretched out the fingers of his right hand, and his hand trembled and pointed at the guards. He didn't dare to point at Chen Kefu, so he had to point to the guards and say, "Father Shang, even if Pei Qing's family is guilty, it has to be handed over to Dali Temple for trial, and finally approved by Shangshu Province before he can be questioned." How could they, how could they kill people in my palace? ”

Chen Kefu said coldly, "Your Majesty, the rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished." What's more, it was His Majesty who decreed that they were traitors and rebels just now, so the guards of the Imperial Forest would kill them. Your Majesty, as a human monarch, should know the words of the Son of Heaven. His Majesty just ordered Pei Shiju and the others to be killed, do you think they don't deserve to die now? Then, after this incident, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be more cautious in speaking in the future. We must remember that some words can be said and some words cannot be spoken, otherwise, we are afraid that if we say the wrong thing, we will be like today. When the time comes, I am afraid that I will regret it, and it will be too late. ”

Listening to these disrespectful words full of warnings, Yang Gao felt a downright coldness in his heart, and only now did he understand that Chen Kefu had deliberately come to the palace to kill Pei Shiju today. I'm afraid that what he said to Pei Shiju in the past, Chen Kefu already knew. Now when he says this, he is not a stern warning to himself.

Looking at the blood-spattered hall and the corpse with a different body, Yang Gao's heart couldn't rise any more dissatisfaction and anger, and all that was left was deep fear and chill.

Empress Xiao, Izumo, and Nanyang were all extremely pale at this time, and they couldn't even speak in fright.

Chen Kefu walked over and personally helped Izumo, "You are pregnant, you should stay in the palace to recuperate in the future, don't walk around, I will send you back to the palace." ”

After walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "Clean up this, and then send someone to escort the queen and the eldest princess of Nanyang back to the palace." Fortunately, the guards came in time this time, otherwise what would be good if Pei Shiju and other rebel ministers plotted to kill His Majesty? For the sake of His Majesty's safety, no one shall enter the He'an Palace without a warrant from the King in the future, and for the safety of His Majesty, the Janissaries must strictly guard His Majesty's safety until His Majesty reaches adulthood. ”

"Your Majesty, it's better not to leave He'an Palace if there is nothing to do in the future, what do you need, this king will send someone to send it." You should concentrate on studying the scriptures in the palace, or you will regret what happens to you. ”

After speaking, Chen Kefu helped Izumo and turned around and walked out of He'an Palace with the imperial guards, leaving only the figure of a nine-year-old little emperor orphan with a face like ashes, standing in the hall, and the corpse in that place!
