Just after dawn, the door of the Han embassy in Goryeo, which had been lit up all night, suddenly opened, and then a group of Han soldiers rushed out surrounded by several officers on horseback.

The person in the middle was Zhao Song, the newly promoted Xingyang Bo, who sat on his horse, reined in his horse and walked slowly, staring ahead, the medals on his military uniform shining. Although he was very calm on the surface, Gu Pan was full of killing aura, as if he had come to the battlefield.

"Meng Zhigao, you take people to take down the city gate, bring in the rest of your battalion, maintain law and order in the city, and everyone else comes with me and goes to Gyeongbokgung Palace!" As soon as he walked to the street outside the embassy, Zhao Song waved his hand heavily, signaling the surrounding officers and soldiers to obey the order, "All act carefully according to the plan, don't make any mistakes!" Don't forget, today everyone is acting in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, if anyone loses the face of our Liaodong Army, he will go to Beihai to fish for a lifetime! ”

In order to completely eliminate any unexpected factors, he did not rest last night, but he was still not sleepy at all, and he was generous and powerful when he called out to the surroundings, and commanded the people around him to come handy.

He believed that commanding a battle was not only to be able to calculate the strength and ordnance of troops, but more importantly, to be able to boost the morale of the soldiers, as long as the commander could sit still, the soldiers would not easily panic. So when he fought for many years, he was calm and calm at all times, and he acted as if he was confident, even if the enemy had rushed in front of him.

And this action, in his opinion, is nine out of ten, and he is full of confidence.

"Yes!" After hearing his breathless shout, the officers next to him responded.

Meng Zhigao, the battalion leader of the first battalion of the Han Dynasty stationed in Goryeo, led the horse and rushed towards the city gate with a group of soldiers in the embassy.

The Han garrisoned two battalions of troops in the capital of Goryeo, but only a small number were placed in the embassy as escorts, and most of the others were stationed in the barracks outside the city. Therefore, the plan of these people is to divide the forces in the embassy into two, some of them rush to Gyeongbokgung Palace with Zhao Song himself, first control the key point of the center, and protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the other part of the people will open the city gate, so that the soldiers who have already assembled under the city will enter - if the city refuses to open, they will directly bombard it, but the officers of the garrison think that there is no need to make trouble to this point.

As soon as the city gate was opened, the soldiers belonging to the first battalion entered the city with the battalion leader Meng Zhigao, controlled the entire Seoul, and at the same time responded to Zhao Song and others who rushed into Gyeongbokgung Palace. The second battalion, under the leadership of Wang Yun, continued to be stationed outside the city, searching and patrolling everywhere to resolve any possible disturbances.

Previously, the embassy of the Han Dynasty already had a plan to control the Goryeo court and then hold the lord Li Hui hostage, but now there is nothing different except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming to Gyeongbokgung Palace. Zhao Song didn't make any changes after taking their plan, so the Han garrison, which had already done a lot of exercises in secret, could now put his preparations into practice.

However, in terms of the time of launch, it was originally suggested that it should be launched at night or in the early morning, so that the effect of the surprise attack could be more achieved, but this suggestion was denied by the prince himself, and he believed that this operation, at least nominally, was for the continuation of the national honor of Goryeo's own country, and it was a legitimate act of **** to set things right, and it should not be made as if the heart was empty

After seeing the other party leave, Zhao Song looked around again, and after making sure that their spirits were all right, he raised his horsewhip and pointed ahead.

"Up!"

Then he took the lead and galloped along the wide road between the embassy and the palace towards the palace. Since the Han Dynasty supported Li Hui's restoration of the country, and after the demarcation of the embassy area in Seoul, the Han Dynasty attached great importance to the specifications of the embassy area, as well as the communication with the palace, under the personal auspices of the deputy envoy Zhang Daoyan, the roads in Seoul were renovated, and a long and wide road was built between the embassy and the palace to facilitate the members of the embassy to and from the palace.

Of course, the members of the mission at that time were only to show the prestige of the Han Dynasty and to facilitate their intervention in the affairs of Goryeo, and they did not think that this path would come in handy under such circumstances.

It was early in the morning, and although most of the people were still resting, many of them had already woken up. Many citizens were stunned when they saw a group of fierce and vicious Han officers and soldiers, rushing out of the embassy with weapons and rushing towards the palace at a rapid pace, and then closed their windows and closed their doors one after another, pretending not to see anything. Some of the families were scholars and doctors of Goryeo courtiers, and they were more aware of the current situation and the contradictions between the embassy and the court, so they were especially frightened and huddled in their homes, fearing that their own family would be harmed and cause trouble.

However, whether it is a scholar's family or an ordinary family, few of them have ever thought about the problem of King Qin's protection - Li Hui went against the grain when he was in power, lost the hearts of the people, and now he has relied on the prestige of the Han Dynasty to restore the country again, but he has never been able to get the loyal support of the people, and he is just regarded as a tyrant who wags his tail and begs for mercy from the Han to restore the country. Now seeing that he is about to fall again, not many people worry about him, but many people secretly applaud.

Zhao Song didn't pay attention to what these Goryeo scholars thought, he galloped on the road as if no one was around, since he was transferred from Liaodong to the capital, in the past few months of changes, he has not galloped like today for a long time.

Although the horse under the crotch was a war horse that had only recently been temporarily recruited from the embassy, after all, it had been trained for a long time, so it was extremely vigorous under his drive, as if it was trying to overpower the other horses, and kept galloping forward. During this journey, the wind with the chill of early spring blew on his face, but it did not make him feel pain or cold, but aroused a fire in his heart, as if he had returned to the battlefield he had not seen for a long time.

In order to avoid the wind, he closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly his ears sounded the roar of Chinese, Manchu and Mongolian, as well as the sound of weapons.

There were also some vague sounds and shadows in front of his eyes, where there were flags of various colors, stretching out as if they could cover the clouds and the sun, and countless jungles of gunfire, which seemed to be shining with a dazzling cold light...... Just like when he came to Liaodong and fought with the Jiannu army again and again.

At that time, he was not a brigade leader, but he was also a senior officer, but at that time, he often took the lead, leading his sons and daughters to charge against the enemy, he was very brave, and he was called a model for everyone, and was commended by the commander Chen Sheng several times.

Some people say that he is to cheer up the soldiers and show his bravery, some people say that he wants to avenge them because he has seen too many cases of Jiannu's cruel treatment of Han people, and some people say that he is to silence these people who say that he was promoted by his relationship with His Majesty, in fact, these are all true, these are the reasons why he is so brave, but this is not the whole reason.

The most fundamental reason he did this was that he wanted to do it, yes, only when he charged at the enemy's army on foot or on horseback, and fought the enemy with his weapon, and when he saw the enemy wounded and dead because of him and his men, he could find a pleasure and excitement from the depths of his heart, which he could not find anywhere else.

This sense of excitement can make a person feel that the whole world is in the palm of his hand, and everything is no longer important, only the wielding of weapons...... It only makes sense to kill the enemy for one thing.

It was only when he left the battlefield that he realized how nostalgic he felt this feeling.

There seemed to be a wall in front of him, and under the wall there was a group of people with weapons looking at him, and he regained his old feeling more and more, and opened his mouth to breathe heavily, and the blood all over his body seemed to be about to burn, burning him, making him feel that the body on horseback had floated up to the clouds. The shouts of the subordinates behind him "handsome, handsome" were not heard at all.

Before he knew it, he had raised the whip in his hand as if he had been a saber in his hand in the past. As the horse galloped, he drew closer and closer to the men, and his hands were raised high, while the people on the other side just stared at him in amazement, as if they had seen some kind of monster.

You're dead.

With this idea between ridicule and statement of facts, Zhao Song, who took the lead, waved the weapon in his hand heavily, but the muffled sound of the saber slashing into the human body and tearing the muscles and breaking the bones came to his ears, but a crisp "Bang!" ”。

At this time, Zhao Song realized that the weapon in his hand was just a horsewhip, and he quickly recovered from his state full of fighting spirit, realizing that he was not fighting now, but just leading people to attack Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Zhao Song squinted at the horse, and the guard who was knocked down by him with a horsewhip was still rolling on the ground and wailing, although he was not killed, the pain must have been not small. At this time, the other officers on horseback had also followed, and they were originally going to coordinate with the follow-up soldiers, but because Zhao Song suddenly accelerated and took the lead, they had to rush over, so now the officers who came to the outside of Gyeongbokgung Palace were officers, and the soldiers of the brigade followed behind.

The guard who was knocked down by Zhao Song screamed so badly, the other guards were very sympathetic, but they all stood in place in fear, and no one dared to come over and save this person from Zhao Song, who was like a god.

The incident happened in a hurry, they didn't make any preparations at all, and after Zhao Song knocked this person down, they had already found out that these people were all from the Han Embassy. The people of the Han embassy have been flying in Seoul for many years, and even the guards of the royal palace are often reprimanded by them, and under this kind of prestige, they dare not resist, but stand aside tremblingly, and there is no one who even runs away to inform them.

Zhao Song turned over and dismounted, and then glanced at the guards, his arrogance overflowing. "I am Zhao Song, the Bo of Xingyang of the Great Han Dynasty, and I am going to take over the guards of Gyeongbokgung Palace today on the orders of the Prince of the Great Han! If anyone dares to resist, they will be put to death immediately! ”

Fearing that these people would not be able to understand Chinese, an officer who understood Goryeo repeated the passage in Goryeo. When these guards heard that the person in front of them was actually a big man's general, and after receiving the order of the **** prince, these guards no longer had the heart to resist, and they knelt on the ground one after another.

Seeing them so interesting, Zhao Song was slightly satisfied, and then his eyes turned to the guards on the ground who were still howling miserably.

"One of you should send a notice to follow our people to send a notice that all the guards of Gyeongbokgung Palace should gather at the designated place, and no one should come near the palace, especially the residence of the crown prince, or else he will be killed!" Also, the rest of the people will carry this man and heal his wounds. ”

………………………………

"Hmm...... Not...... Yes! With a non-stop wail in his mouth, Li Hui, the lord of Goryeo, woke up from his imperial bed again.

The cold sweat from the nightmare just now had soaked all his clothes, and he fumbled to the edge of the bed, and then slapped it heavily.

The content of the nightmare is nothing unusual, it is the most impressive day in his life - on this day, taking advantage of his illness and unable to see things, his own nephew Ayayang Jun Li Liang, with the Western Party courtiers Li Gui, Li Shi, Jin Zidian and others who supported him, launched a palace mutiny and led troops into the palace.

Fires lit everywhere, and mournful shouts pierced the sky, sounding as if they could burst eardrums even today. That same night, a vicious group of soldiers killed all the resistance, and then turned him into a prisoner.

Then, he was escorted to the deposed Empress Renmu, who was the queen of his father's main palace, but was never favored until he became an adult, and gave birth to a son for the former king. But it was too late by then, and his father, who had already experienced the Imjin War, did not want the country to experience any more turmoil, so he passed the throne to him and instructed him to treat the mother and son well after his death.

However, after ascending to the throne, he took it for granted that the mother and son were a thorn in his side, and a few years after ascending the throne, he took the younger brother Yongchang Grand Prince Li as an excuse. was executed, and Concubine Renmu was also sent to the cold palace by him.

It was hard to imagine how much this woman hated him, and when she saw him, her whole face was distorted, and she kept yelling at him in a very sharp voice, and as for what she was shouting, he didn't hear it clearly, and now he naturally can't figure it out anymore.

He didn't beg for mercy with these rebels, just looking at the woman's eyes, looking at the eyes that seemed to burn in the night, he understood that even begging for mercy was futile, and it would only make the other party more relaxed.

It is said that when Concubine Renmu cooperated with these rebels against the king, the condition was that she must see him killed, but in the end she was rejected by these rebels, and it would be difficult for them to explain to the suzerain, Daming, if they decided to kill the lord directly.

However, Li Hui would not be grateful to them, because this group of people replaced the direct death penalty with a pain that was worse than death—under the gaze of Concubine Renmu herself, these rebels smeared his eyes with lime.

The pain was like a needle in the face, all the way to the brain. The endless pain made him howl uncontrollably, but no one took pity on him, and he could only hear his own howl, and the woman's high-pitched and unmistakably happy laughter.

She seemed to have been laughing all night.

Since then, this nightmare has been haunting him, although he has experienced great ups and downs since then, first exiled and then reinstated, and those rebels, including Concubine Renmu herself, have been executed by him, but this nightmare can not be shaken off, and almost every night it has to visit his mind, so that he can experience the pain of that night endlessly, and finally struggle to wake up.

However, man, since he was blinded by the coup d'état, he can only "see" things in his sleep, so no matter how terrible the nightmare has been over the years, after waking up, he will be nostalgic for the dream just now, reminiscing about everything in his mind.

For Li Hui, it was another sleepless night.

"Your Highness?" The chamberlain, who heard him knocking on the bed, immediately ran over, and his voice sounded in the darkness as if it had come from the sky.

"Water, give me some water." Li Hui gave the order weakly, his whole body was covered with sweat, like a fish that had just been fished out of the water, and his whole body had no strength after the violent struggle just now.

"Your Highness, please use it." A cup was brought to his lips. The chamberlain had served him for a long time, so he poured a glass of water as soon as he was summoned tonight.

Li Hui lowered his head, his lips slowly drank along the rim of the cup, and after the warm liquid flowed into his stomach, he finally slowly regained control of his body.

"What time is it?" He asked.

"It's already two o'clock, Your Highness." The chamberlain replied in a low voice.

"Two o'clock...... Is it dawn? ”

"Yes, God...... It's already light. The waiter's answer was slightly hesitant. But...... But it's still early, and Your Highness can rest a little more. ”

It is really cruel to say that the morning is dawn in front of a blind man, especially when this blind man is still the lord of the country and has the power of life and death over himself.

"It's already dawn, what are you resting for?" A wry smile suddenly appeared on Li Hui's face, "Help me up, hurry up and change my clothes." ”

The sweat-soaked undershirt was now clinging to his body, making him feel very uncomfortable, especially since it was still spring and the morning was a little cold.

"Yes, Your Highness." The chamberlain respectfully complied, then walked to the side and picked up his daily civilian clothes, intending to change for him.
