090 Palace Change(3)
Gao Fei withdrew the long sword from Wang Yue's neck, glanced at Zhang Rang, who was lying in a pool of blood behind him, and said coldly: "How can I say that my martial arts also come from you, whether you admit it or not, whether you admit me as an apprentice or not, in short, in my heart, you are my master, I will not kill you, you go." ”
Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, and Pang De withdrew their swords at the same time, retreated behind Gao Fei, and glanced at Zhang Rang, who was already dead, and Jia Xu, who was standing next to Zhang Rang's body, and no one spoke.
The hall was filled with the smell of blood, there were corpses lying on the ground, all the living people did not speak, and at this moment, there was a deathly silence.
The blood on Wang Yue's body soaked his black clothes, and the wounds revealed open flesh, and the four blood-red wounds kept oozing blood. Just when he was distracted by Zhang Rang's death, he invariably received four sword wounds on his body, so he also lost his fighting spirit and took the initiative to drop the long sword in his hand, he had no reason to fight.
He is a swordsman, from Liaodong, he has been practicing swordsmanship since he was a child, and officially left his hometown at the age of eighteen to study in Beijing, hoping to rely on his superb swordsmanship to win a reputation in the court. But the reality is cruel, he is only worthy of being a guest from a humble background, and he is unwilling and unwilling. So he saw through his fame and went to the border to help those in need with his martial arts. In Youzhou, he once entered the Xianbei royal court alone to assassinate Xianbei Da Danyu; In Bingzhou, he single-handedly saved 500 herdsmen who were about to die under the Xianbei arrows; In Liangzhou, he single-handedly assassinated thirteen chieftains of the Qiang tribe in just one month. That is, in Liangzhou, he was chased by the Qiang people, and three thousand Qiang warriors searched for him alone, he was outnumbered, seriously injured, and finally rescued by a plane that was only twelve years old.
In order to repay the kindness, he taught Gao Fei martial arts, evolved the swordsmanship he had learned throughout his life, and created the Dragon Marksmanship taught to Gao Fei. Later, the Qiang people found his traces, in order not to cause trouble for Gao Fei, he said goodbye, and stayed away from Liangzhou, and that set of dragon marksmanship, he still had the last six moves not taught, he swore that if he met Gao Fei again in the future, then the last six moves were passed on to Gao Fei without reservation.
Later, he came to Jingshi again, opened a martial arts hall in Jingshi, and taught apprentices, but because of an accident, he accidentally killed a child of a family, and later thanks to Zhang Rang, he was released from prison. In the past two years, in order to repay Zhang Rang's kindness to him, he saved Zhang Rang twice in a row, but this time, he did not save him. He regards faith as his life, and Zhang Rang's death is equivalent to his dishonesty.
The past came to his heart one by one, Wang Yue slowly closed his eyes, and two lines of hot tears flowed out of his eyes. Suddenly, he picked up the sword on the ground with his right hand, and without hesitation, cut off his left hand, blood gushing out of his left wrist, and his face was expressionless, as if the hand he had cut off was not his. He failed, this is a punishment for his dishonesty, he looked at Gao Fei opposite, and said slowly: "From now on, there will be no more Wang Yue in the world." ”
"You...... Why are you suffering? For a notorious eunuch, is it worth it? Gao Fei was taken aback at first when he saw Wang Yue cut off his left hand so ruthlessly, and then asked slowly.
"A man cannot stand without faith! All my life, I regard faith and righteousness as life, and if you don't kill me, I can only punish myself. From now on, I will live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and I will never step out of the mountains and forests in my lifetime. Gao Fei, now that the dragon marksmanship has been taught to you, I hope it is not too late for you, and I hope that you can fight for the world, and it will not be in vain that I have a successor in my martial arts. Wang Yue's face was pale, the five wounds on his body were bleeding, and even his voice was weaker and weaker. After he said these words, he turned and walked towards the outside of the main hall.
At the entrance of the main hall, Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, Liao Hua, and Bian Xi were guarding the door, and when they saw the injured Wang Yue, the eyes of the four of them looked at Gao Fei inside, and when they saw Gao Fei waving his hand at them, the four of them flashed to the side and let Wang Yue pass.
"Dead...... All dead...... They...... They are all dead......" Liu Hong woke up from his coma and saw that the entire hall was covered in blood, and Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other ten of the ten permanent servants were all spared in a pool of blood, and he exclaimed in surprise.
Gao Fei saw that Liu Hong had woken up, and immediately walked towards Liu Hong's side.
Liu Hong saw Gao Fei walking towards him, carrying a bloody long sword in his hand, and a burst of horror appeared on his face, and his body kept retreating, shouting loudly: "Don't come...... Don't come here......"
Gao Fei saw Liu Hong's frightened expression, and ignored him, just blindly walked forward, when he approached Liu Hong, Liu Hong had already retreated to the wall, and saw that Liu Hong's whole body was curled up into a ball, so he arched his hand to Liu Hong and said: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, the traitorous Ten Standing Servants have been completely eradicated, and from now on, Your Majesty's side will be quiet......"
"It's you! It was you who killed Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong...... I didn't give you an edict, it was you who killed my most loyal courtier, I want to kill you to avenge Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, I am the emperor, I am not afraid of you, I will issue an edict to kill you! Liu Hong's eyes suddenly burst out with murderous intent, pointing at Gao Fei's nose and shouting loudly.
When Gao Fei heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, he didn't expect Liu Hong to be so kind to the Ten Standing Servants that he would actually kill him for a few eunuchs. He saw that Liu Hong was still pointing at his nose and kept saying that he was going to kill him, he closed his eyes gently, and when he opened his eyes again, he shouted loudly: "Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Pang De, you three close the door of the palace from outside the palace, the weather is cold outside, Your Majesty's body is thin, I am afraid that the dragon body is sick!" ”
Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, and Pang De made a promise at the same time, and then walked towards the outside of the main hall, and then closed the door of the main hall.
Jia Xu walked to Gao Fei's side from the other side of the main hall, and when he saw Liu Hong pointing at Gao Fei vigorously and saying that he wanted to kill Gao Fei to avenge Zhang Rang and others, he also realized the seriousness of the situation. He is a smart person, knowing that Gao Fei deliberately separated Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, and Pang De, he glanced at Gao Fei sideways, and saw that Gao Fei's eyes shot out of Dao Dao Senhan's killing intent, so he arched his hand and said: "Lord, the matter has come to this, and there is only one way to do extraordinary things." ”
Gao Fei turned his face to look at Jia Xu, and saw that Jia Xu was looking at him with a very expectant gaze, and his whole face looked very excited, so he asked, "Then how to deal with the aftermath?" ”
Jia Xu smiled fiercely, and said slowly: "In order to protect himself, the Ten Standing Servants did not hesitate to use the first emperor to cover it, and the first emperor was entangled with the Ten Standing Servants in order to break free, and he didn't want to entangle the first emperor who was stabbed by Zhao Zhong and unfortunately died!" ”
Gao Fei heard that Jia Xu had already regarded Liu Hong as a dead man, so he smiled and said to Jia Xu: "Mourn!" ”
When the voice fell, Gao Fei raised the sword in his hand and stabbed directly into Liu Hong's heart, and pushed it hard, penetrating Liu Hong's entire body. Seeing Liu Hong's hideous face and frightened eyes, he raised his hand to point at him, and when he opened his mouth to speak, he pulled his sword out of Liu Hong's heart. A cavity of hot blood splashed out of Liu Hong's body, splashed on his face with a smirk, blood dripped down his face to his mouth, he stretched out his tongue, licked it, and then spit it on the ground mixed with saliva, and said coldly: "The emperor's blood is no different from mine!" ”
When Jia Xu heard this, he looked at Liu Hong, who had died, and then at Gao Fei, and slowly thought in his heart: "I really didn't follow the wrong person, only such a lord is worthy of my best assistance." ”
Gao Fei inserted the bloody long sword into the scabbard, turned around and walked towards the door of the main hall, opened the door, and shouted at Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Pang De, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Guan Hai, and Bian Xi who were standing outside the door: "Come in, close the door!" ”
Zhao Yun and the others did according to Gao Fei's words, entered the main hall one after another, and then closed the door, and as soon as they stood still, they saw Jia Xu coming from the side, came to Gao Fei's side, and glanced at Gao Fei.
"I killed the emperor." Gao Fei was expressionless, calmly pointed to Liu Hong's corpse and said lightly.
Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Pang De, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Guan Hai, Bian Xi The expressions on the faces of the seven people were different, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Guan Hai, Bian Xi and others had a yellow scarf, and they had no feelings for the Han Dynasty, and only showed a little surprise on their faces, and then dispersed; Huaxiong and Pang De are both from Liangzhou, Liangzhou has been in rebellion for a long time, and Emperor Ling of Han once wanted to abandon Liangzhou, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the people of Liangzhou, so the two of them had a little schadenfreude over the death of Emperor Ling of Han; Zhao Yun looked extremely melancholy and a little sad.
"I am a great sinner who killed the king, and now I am standing here, let you arrest me, I have no complaints!" After Gao Fei read the expressions of his seven subordinates, he could almost guess one or two, and continued to say lightly.
"This absurd and unscrupulous dog emperor knows how to play with women every day, and handed over almost all the government to the ten permanent servants, making the government and the opposition miserable, and making the people in the world miserable, regardless of the life and death of the people, they will only be greedy for pleasure, and the lord kills him to remove a harm for the people of the world. Killing the king is killing the king, here are the people of us, just put the blame on the ten permanent servants! Liao Hua said angrily.
Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, and Bian Xi glanced at each other, and said in unison: "We will follow the oath to follow the lord to the death, and there will be no two hearts." ”
Hua Xiong and Pang De said: "This kind of faint monarch should be killed!" ”
Zhao Yun glanced at the dead Liu Hong again, and remembered what happened when he entered the main hall just now, he had nothing to regret about such an emperor who only cared about his own lewd pleasures. However, his melancholy and sadness were all for the Han Dynasty, and he felt sad that the Han Dynasty had such an emperor. He looked at Gao Fei with an expectant face, and said slowly: "I am the subordinate of the lord, and I am the subordinate of the lord in this life, no matter what the lord does, he is right here in his subordinates, and his subordinates have no complaints." It's just that the crime of killing the monarch is not small, and the lord must do it without leakage. ”
Gao Fei saw that his subordinates showed their hearts, he tested the loyalty of his subordinates again this time, if someone dared to be not loyal enough to himself, even if it was Zhao Yun, then he would be killed, otherwise, if it was spread out, he would definitely be condemned by the people of the world, in the era when the ancients attached importance to heaven, earth, king, relatives, and teachers, he would become a rat crossing the street.
"I believe in you, but you have to rot this in your stomach!" Goofy smiled and said slowly.
"No!"
Subsequently, Gao Fei asked Jia Xu to tell them the cause of Liu Hong's death, and the confession was matched, and then moved Liu Hong's body and the body of the Ten Standing Servants to the position, and arranged the death scene very realistically, and then walked out. He left Pang De and Jia Xu to wait here, and he himself took Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong and others towards the palace gate, and when he saw the palace maids and eunuchs who were blocked in the palace by Yu Linlang led by Lu Heng, he pretended to be very sad and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has died!" ”
Subsequently, he gathered the more than 300 people together and told all the things about the ten permanent servants who accidentally killed Liu Hong, which made those palace maids and eunuchs cry and believe Gao Fei's words. After that, Gao Fei ordered Zhao Yun to take a thousand Yu Lin Lang to the White Tiger Gate, inform the general He Jin who was waiting there, and release the three hundred palace maids and eunuchs, so that they could spread the news of the emperor's death.
Outside the White Tiger Gate on the west side of the North Palace, there were the civil and military ministers of the current dynasty and thousands of tiger warriors, all of whom were waiting for each other and blocked the door of the White Tiger Gate. Inside the White Tiger Gate, the guard captain and the army guarding the palace gate blocked the door hole.
General He Jin led the civil and military officials to stand outside the White Tiger Gate, in front of He Jin, there was also a graceful and luxurious woman, although the woman was already half old, but the charm still existed, the age was at most about forty-five years old, that woman was none other than Liu Hong's biological mother, Empress Dowager Dong.
Empress Dowager Dong was deceived from Nangong by Xun You with a white lie, and Cao Cao dragged Yuan Shao back, so that Nangong did not suffer from the fire. When the Empress Dowager Dong came to the North Palace, Xun You said that Gao Fei had a plan to eradicate the Ten Standing Servants, and the Empress Dowager Dong felt deceived, but he also hated the Ten Standing Servants very much, hated them for teaching their sons badly, and when they learned that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces were involved in this plan, he resolutely obeyed Xun You's words and used his identity as the Queen Mother to the North Palace to suppress the guards.
The arrival of the Empress Dowager Dong greatly surprised He Jin's expectations, he saw that the assassination plan was aborted, so he recalled Yuan Shao, and saw the Empress Dowager Dong denounce the ten permanent servants, so he simply stood on the same front with the Empress Dowager Dong, and gathered outside the White Tiger Gate with hundreds of civil and military officials and tiger armor soldiers, giving the Empress Dowager Dong a strong momentum.
In the cold wind, the Empress Dowager Dong couldn't help but sneez, pointed to the guard who blocked the White Tiger Gate, and said: "Don't you want to be a guard captain anymore, this palace is the queen mother, do you have to go through your approval to see the emperor?" Get out of the way, and this palace won't bother with you. ”
"The Queen Mother, where the duties of the official lies, are also unavoidable, without His Majesty's decree, even the Queen Mother and the official can't put it in. This is what His Majesty has sternly explained. ”
"You ......" Empress Dowager Dong was not lightly angry, he knew that this guard was the henchman of the Ten Standing Servants, and the Ten Standing Servants were bent on squeezing her out and letting Liu Hong move her to the South Palace, which would never let her return to the North Palace, and it was also convenient for Liu Hong to have sexual pleasure.
At this time, there were bursts of crying and mourning voices in the palace, and Empress Dowager Dong glanced at He Jin and hurriedly asked, "General, what happened in the palace?" ”
He Jin looked dazed and was at a loss, but he saw Zhao Yun rushing from the palace to the White Tiger Gate with Yu Linlang, and heard Zhao Yun crying and shouting, "Your Majesty has died". Inside and outside the White Tiger Gate, all the people listened carefully, and in just a moment, all the people knelt on the ground and cried loudly......
