Chapter 453: Knock a Stroke
As soon as the Assassins left the palace, they went to the Prime Minister's Mansion outside the palace, where someone was waiting for them.
"How did it turn out?" The man stood in the main hall, and when he saw that the man he had sent out had returned, he immediately asked.
"Those two men were hit by their subordinates' arrows, and they shouldn't be able to survive." The killer slowly spoke, but he was a little worried in his heart, in fact, he didn't dare to be completely sure, after all, he only saw the blood on the ground, but he didn't see them completely dead.
"That's good," the man nodded, but he didn't delve too deeply, he was still very confident in the group of killers under his command, so he didn't think much about it when he heard the other party's answer, and said directly: "Since the person is dead, it's time to send a message to Liang Guo." ”
"Yes," the killer replied, and then complimented, "As long as this matter is completed, the position of the emperor will be yours." ”
The man who stayed where he was squinted his eyes, waved his hand and told him to do it, and then muttered to himself, "King Shen, I hope you can do what you say......"
He was the prime minister of his country, and not long ago he received a message from the third prince of Liang, Li Zhishen, indicating that as long as he took action to kill the two chips that had been withheld by the emperor, he would secretly support him to ascend to the throne.
It's not a day or two that he covets that position, but it's a pity that he doesn't have enough ability, but now with the help of Li Zhishen, everything is much easier!
Now that he has done what he promised the other party, I hope that Li Zhishen can also keep his promise!
……
On the side of Liang State, after the emperor received the "death news" of Li Changfeng and the others, he was immediately furious, looked at the envoy who came to deliver the message in front of him and shouted angrily: "How can this be reasonable, you not only forcibly detained my sons in your country, but now you have also killed them!" Do you really think that there is no one in my Liang country? ”
Although he has been ill for a long time now, and his body is extremely weak and not as good as before, he has been an emperor for so many years, and he still has the momentum of a superior.
His Majesty the Emperor was angry, "It was the envoy who came to deliver the message, he brought the news of death, and he had already expected the result when he came on the road, but now he was still taken aback, and broke out in a cold sweat: "The death of the ninth prince of the Liang Kingdom is just an accident, and it is definitely not our ...... I, our Majesty only wanted to detain them for the time being, and he had no intention of killing them. ”
"Hmph, what's the use of talking about it now? Even if you didn't do it intentionally, this matter has nothing to do with you! How could this have happened if you hadn't trapped my son in your country in the first place? ”
The emperor opened his mouth in a series of questions, his face was full of anger, and after saying all this, he said the point,
"In any case, people die in your country! You have to give me a satisfactory explanation, or ...... If you want to go to war for my son, you can't do it! ”
The Emperor spoke, and when he spoke of the back, his tone was full of threat.
He has made it very clear that if the enemy country refuses to give a satisfactory answer, then they will immediately send troops to fight it.
This matter is that they are at fault first, and their national strength is not as good as that of Liang State, if they start a war rashly, they will not have any preparations on their side, and the probability of defeat can be said to be very large!
Thinking about it, the envoy also slowly spoke: "Then I don't know what kind of compensation you want, Your Majesty the Emperor?" As long as we can get it out, we will naturally do our best. ”
If the envoy had been in the palace of the enemy country that day, he would have known that Li Changfeng had said something similar that day. Odd book e-book
As everyone knows, it hasn't been long before the situation has been reversed.
"Compensation? That's my emperor's life, what do you have to compensate for! The emperor had a look of righteous indignation on his face, and when he heard this, he slapped the table in front of him heavily and said sharply.
"His Majesty the Emperor is angry, the Si people are gone, and now we can't bring them back to life, so we can only make amends in other ways." The envoy couldn't help but stretch out his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered.
“…… Okay, since you want to compensate, then follow the requirements you made before," the emperor was thinking about taking this opportunity to knock them out, but he just wanted to make his play more realistic, and when he heard this, he said: "Five cities, 8,000 war horses, 80,000 soldiers." ”
After finishing speaking, the emperor seemed to suddenly think of something, and did not forget to add: "By the way...... One more thing, you must sign a treaty with my Liang State, and then become a vassal state of Liang State, and no longer an independent country. ”
"As long as you fulfill all these things, the assassination of my emperor will be considered a write-off."
"This ......" The emperor's request was a bit too much, but these were all made by themselves before, and now they were slapped in the face.
However, such a big matter is not something that his small envoy can decide, and after hesitating in his heart for a while, the envoy said: "This request you made is too important, I have to go back and discuss it with our emperor before I can give you an answer." ”
"Okay," the emperor nodded, knowing that he had asked too much, "but I want to get an answer as soon as possible." ”
The envoy answered, wiped his sweat and left the Liang country.
The emperor of the enemy country only felt extremely painful when he heard the news brought back by the envoys, but he couldn't help but agree, hesitated again and again, but resisted the urge to drip blood in his heart and agreed, signed an agreement with Liang State, and also picked a few cities to divide among them.
Fortunately, Liang did not specify which cities in their country they wanted, otherwise if he asked for the richest ones, their country would probably have to slowly decay.
……
At the same time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After the news of Li Changfeng's death spread back, Li Zhishen sent some masters around him to come over to assist the prime minister in forcing the palace.
The person sent by Li Zhishen stood in front of the prime minister and said slowly: "Our prince has already made arrangements, tonight we will go to the palace to kidnap your emperor and ask him to sign your name on the abdication edict." ”
"To the outside world, it was because of those compensations that he was so angry that he didn't survive that night, he died, and decided to hand over the throne to you before he died."
"Okay." The prime minister nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Success or failure is here!" ”
As long as the plan is careful enough, it shouldn't be a problem, after all, the emperor is full of thoughts about the compensation to Liang State, and he never thought that he would join forces with the prince of Liang State and pull him down from the throne......
Thinking in his heart, the prime minister also had a little more confidence in his heart.
