Chapter 165: What is peace?
Xiao Jue stepped into the city gate before stepping, and the hundred officials received the news that His Royal Highness Cheng Wang led the troops into Beijing without an edict, so he hurried to the palace, and the time when the two parties arrived in the palace was almost the same, and the hundred officials gathered at the palace gate, all of them were confused, and the guards of the palace gate had no master, and when they saw them, such as seeing the savior, Li Ruyan took the lead and rushed to the main hall together.
Xiao Jue went straight to the main hall, the door of the main hall was closed, the outside of the hall was guarded, Shen Qizheng stood at the door of the hall with a knife, in the cold winter of December, although the sun at noon was not hot, but it shone naked on people, there was still a little bit of heat, sweat passed through Shen Qizheng's cheeks, his eyes were slightly puffed, he glanced at the person who came, his left hand slowly stroked the saber on his waist, and his right arm was slightly raised, "Take it!" ”
Well-trained Praetorian Guards came from the shadows, and almost at the same time, Xiao Jue drew the saber at his waist and led the people to rush up the steps, "Rush for me!" ”
The two sides confronted, Xiao Jue led the eastern soldiers, Shen Qizheng was outnumbered, his abdomen was injured, and he was forced to retreat to the door of the palace, holding a sword in both hands, and he was dead against the door, intending to stop it, Xiao Jue increased the force in his hand, Shen Qizheng couldn't stand the force, slowly knelt down, stared at him viciously, Xiao Jue took a sip, narrowed the distance with him, Shen Qizheng clearly saw his lips move slightly, and said silently: "Lackey." ”
The expression was extremely disdainful, Shen Qizheng was about to resist, but he was fiercely suppressed by him, kicked his waist and abdomen, Shen Qizheng flew out and smashed through the door of the main hall, and the moment the door was broken, there was a woman's scream.
Looking at the situation in the hall, Xiao Jue was stunned, his face was pale, and he secretly screamed that it was not good, there were only a group of concubines in the hall, and they were in a panic, and there was a mage, who was also sitting on the ground and trembling, obviously not what he thought.
Shen Qizheng lay on the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood, sat up slowly, put his right hand on his bent knee, glanced at Xiao Jie, smiled evilly, and slowly spit out two words in his mouth.
"Waste~thing~" Xiao Jue squinted, saw the shape of his mouth clearly, spelled out these two words, was angry for a while, lost his mind, and wanted to raise his sword and swing it.
"Xiao Jue, what are you doing!"
Xiao Jue was stunned by this roar, and when he looked back, he saw a group of officials looking at him with different expressions, some shocked, some frightened, some condemned, some angry, and afraid, this derivative made him feel excited and helpless, and the blood in his body was churning.
There was a sound of heavy armor outside the hall, Xiao Ye looked at the situation and went straight to the main hall, and when he saw the mess outside, he knew that things were not good, his face was heavy, his brain was spinning rapidly, and he turned around and said what the wicked man was handwritten about, and the man took the token and ran outside the palace.
Xiao Ye walked towards the hall, just when he heard Li Ruyan's question, he didn't have time to think, he swung his sword and killed anyone in front of him, and broke out of the door.
Baiguan and Xiao Du were confronting, behind Xiao Du was the seriously injured Shen Qizheng and a group of concubines, the father and son looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes, but they didn't show it on their faces.
Attacked from both sides, the hundred officials consciously suppressed, and the anger in their hearts was uneasy, Li Ruyan said bluntly, "What do you mean by this, two princes?" Bringing troops into the palace is a great disrespect, what does it mean for Xiao Xiaowang to enter Beijing without an edict? ”
At the beginning, Xiao decided to enter Beijing without an edict, everyone wanted to be accountable, but Xiao decided to say that he wanted to return to Beijing to hand over the soldiers to return to Beijing to accompany his parents, for fear of alarming the enemy army in the eastern territory, so he did not pray, and later led the troops into the palace and said that he heard that His Majesty was assassinated on the way back to Beijing, and he did so with a heartfelt heart, and let him say good and bad things, coupled with the change on Chinese New Year's Eve, the dominant power was in the hands of Xiao Ye, everyone did not dare to say anything, His Majesty died, the auxiliary king took the lead in this matter, Xiao decided to lead the troops back to the eastern border to continue to defend the town, and the hundred officials were dissatisfied, but they were unable to pursue responsibility.
Knowing that Xiao Ye had the intention of rebelling and had military power in his hands, they could only swallow their anger in case they angered him and let him take the step of rebellion, but the hundred officials never expected that Xiao Jue did not return to the east, and also led troops into the palace again, and fought with the Praetorian Guard.
The deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard came in a hurry with men and horses, surrounded the main hall, the Xiao family father and son made a loud alarm bell, and with a wave of his hand, the Xiao family soldiers instantly entered a state of readiness, and the deputy commander came with people earlier, but was stopped by the auxiliary king, saying that there were assassins in the direction of the harem, so they were quickly arrested, but nothing was caught, so they delayed.
The two parties were deadlocked, the breath in the hall was heavy, Li Ruyan looked at the current situation, "Lord Xiao, Your Majesty's bones are not cold, are you going to rebel?" ”
Before she finished speaking, with a sudden, Li Ruyan knelt on the ground, and Xiao Jue stood behind her, his eyes were cold, as if he wanted to see through everyone.
Xiao Jue has his own rights, and he has never let people point his nose to teach him, not to mention this person's royal history? He held his breath in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and slowly paced in the hall, with a sense of oppression on his body, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling, aggressive.
Li Ruyan continued: "The whereabouts of the edict are unknown, the double seals have disappeared, are you going to use the military power in your hands to forcibly ascend to the throne?" I'm telling you, you're a big rebel! It's rebellion! It's a traitor! It's ......" The last few people couldn't hear clearly, and they saw Xiao Jue stepping on his face and rubbing hard, and his whole face became hideous, causing everyone to exclaim.
"Lord Xiao, what do you mean by this?"
Xiao Ye didn't answer, and Marquis Xiao stepped forward, "Are you doing this to force the palace?" Don't say that there is no edict, even if you do it today, you will be punished by God. ”
Xiao Houye is Xiao Yu'an's father, although he led the troops to the west in the past, he has a gentle temperament, no tyrannical temperament, and no blood on his body, and he does not show his edge after returning to Beijing.
"If you do this, you are not afraid of losing the support of the people and the support of hundreds of officials? Without these, you are nothing, and we will not give in to you. ”
"You think I'm going to be scared of you?" His expression was hideous, and with a wave of his hand, the Praetorian Guards who were still surrounding them turned into people targeting Shen Qizheng, the scene changed, and the faces of the hundred officials were surprised, Xiao Ye laughed, and the laughter was rampant, "Do you think that after all these years, the owner of this palace is still that coward?" He only knows that he is content with the status quo, he doesn't dare to do anything, he guards his land day by day, all day long, and he is in a corner of peace, I don't know why the overlord is? ”
Li Ruyan's face turned purple, and his eyes were already swollen red, but he still said stubbornly, "Your Majesty knows better than you all that this magazine is not an overlord, it is Taiping, Taiping!" ”
The last two words, he almost shouted, Xiao Jue increased the force, Li Ruyan looked at each other, fainted, Xie Chen stepped forward, pushed Xiao Jue away, helped him up, and stared at Xiao Jue viciously.
Xiao Ye lifted the fainting Li Ruyan up, "Taiping? It is necessary for complete reunification to achieve complete peace, and you cowards dare not do anything, but you talk in a high-sounding manner. He threw the fainting Li Ruyan down like a piece of garbage, there was a weapon on the ground, his face just knocked up, a long scar was cut on his forehead, and the blood stained his whole face, looking shocking.
Xie Chen stood up slowly, his steps staggered slightly, but his posture stood upright, his voice was dyed with grief and indignation, he wanted to ask today, what is peace? What is the world? What is a king?
