Chapter 127: Assassins
Father, the child has something to do. With that, Li Yuankang handed the fold to the emperor.
When the emperor saw it, he was immediately furious.
Prime Minister Gu knew that Li Yuankang was back, and he would definitely be unable to escape.
But when Prime Minister Gu Cheng decided to give it a go, he found that all the soldiers in and out of the palace had been replaced by Li Yuankang.
In this way, without spending a single soldier, Li Yuankang tied up Prime Minister Gu.
Not long after being locked up, Prime Minister Gu Cheng was convicted of treason, pushed out of the palace gate and beheaded.
And those officials who were close to Prime Minister Gu before either committed suicide, absconded, or directly chose to confess their crimes to the emperor and Li Yuankang.
Finally, Li Yuankang's biggest opponent was eliminated.
The sky was gray, and it seemed that it wanted to rain but it couldn't.
The oppressive aura made the entire palace very heavy.
In the main hall, the emperor sat high on the dragon chair.
"If you have something to play, you have nothing to do." The emperor asked the eunuchs to help convey the holy will.
For some reason, the emperor has been in poor health recently, and even if he went to the early dynasty, he was listless.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has information about all the henchmen related to Prime Minister Gu here, please take a look at it." A minister stepped forward.
"Bring it in."
The emperor suddenly came to his senses, this is the danger of Gu Chengxiang's rebellion, and now these people who are close to Gu Chengxiang are naturally unwilling.
The emperor opened this roster, and there were a lot of people.
If all these people were to be thrown into the prison, then the court would collapse and there would be no one to do.
"Yuankang, you can also take a look at this list, as for what to do, then you can make your own decisions."
As he spoke, the emperor handed the roster to Li Yuankang.
In fact, Li Yuankang already knew about this roster, and he already had his own ideas.
Li Yuankang took the roster and tore it off on the spot, and it was so torn that he couldn't even see a name.
"Yuanyasu, what are you doing here?" The emperor's eyes widened in surprise, and the minister was also surprised that he couldn't say a word, although there was a backup, but Li Yuankang's move was really incredible.
And those officials who were worried about their presence on the roster suddenly felt very comfortable in their chests when they saw Li Yuankang's move.
"Back to the emperor, the child doesn't think it's necessary for this roster to appear here." Li Yuankang said slowly.
"The child believes that the officials in the court are dedicated to doing things for the court, and there may have been bias before, but in general, everyone's mentality is still good."
Li Yuankang actually knows better that if he wants to eradicate these people, there will be opportunities in the future, and if he lets those henchmen of Prime Minister Gu stand on the opposite side of him at this time, it will greatly interfere with his ascension to the throne.
After Li Yuankang said this, all the officials present were smiling excitedly.
Because of this move, those officials who were ready to secretly rebel decided to follow Li Yuankang to the death.
"Okay, then I'll give you this list, and I won't bother with it anymore." The emperor smiled and waved his hand.
Dealing with this kind of problem is inherently very tricky, and since Li Yuankang has this determination, the emperor simply handed over all the stalls to Li Yuankang.
At this time, there is another undercurrent surging beneath this seemingly calm surface.
And this person, although the position is not obvious, is only a lieutenant general. But it has an inextricable relationship with Concubine Shu.
And now only he knows in the court that Concubine Shu is not dead.
In order to attract people's eyes, Concubine Shu asked the palace maid to change into her own clothes, and then scratched her face.
In the end, he was fooled and saved his life.
Now there is only one chance left for Concubine Shugui. Unsuccessful becomes benevolence.
And this deputy general has become Concubine Shugui's most powerful assistant.
In the middle of the night, the room was also pitch black. Outside the house, in the tree, a crow perched on a treetop.
The lieutenant cautiously walked in from the outside. After looking around, I made sure that there was no one, so I gently pushed open the door and walked into the house.
"Concubine Shu." The lieutenant said in a suppressed voice.
After a while, Concubine Shu slowly walked out from behind the curtain.
At this time, Concubine Shu had already taken off her gorgeous clothes and was wearing a light blue plain dress.
The hairpin on his head is gone.
She looks like an ordinary peasant woman.
It's just that between the eyebrows, there is a temperament that peasant women do not have.
"How? Are you all set? Concubine Shu sat down slowly and asked with a serious face.
Because there was no light, in fact, Concubine Shu didn't see the adjutant general's face clearly.
And the lieutenant general didn't see Concubine Shu's face clearly.
Since Concubine Shu escaped death, Concubine Shu has hardly seen anyone.
"It's all ready to go." The lieutenant is full of confidence.
"Very good, then act according to the plan, pay attention, don't let Zhu Ajiao know about all this, you have to arrange someone to interfere with her."
Concubine Shu knows that Zhu Ajiao is very smart and flexible, if she wants to succeed in assassinating the emperor, she must ensure that Zhu Ajiao is disturbed by other things and cannot withdraw, otherwise once Zhu Ajiao is also involved, then this matter will soon be cracked by Zhu Ajiao.
"My subordinates understand." The lieutenant nodded, and then returned the same way and left the dark room.
Concubine Shu knows many of the emperor's living habits. And the easiest time to get started is in the evening when you review the recitals.
At this time, the guards around him were in a state of rest.
And there is usually only one eunuch who accompanies the emperor.
As long as there is a way to get close to the emperor at this time, it can be said that the emperor will definitely die.
The lieutenant changed into a guard's clothes as planned, and when the guards were handed over, he blended into the guards' team, and then came to the emperor's vicinity smoothly.
Because at night, the lights in the palace are not very bright, so everyone does not see the face of the guard clearly when they come and go.
And Zhu Ajiao had to take care of her children, and Li Yuankang had nothing to do to come to the emperor, and at this time, there was only one eunuch by the emperor's side.
"I'm a little tired, so I'll rest early today." Saying that, the emperor stretched and was about to walk out the door.
Suddenly, the guard at the door turned around and stood in front of the emperor.
"There are assassins, there are assassins." The eunuch immediately reacted and shouted at him.
The deputy general was very calm, slowly walked in front of the emperor, pulled out his sword and killed the emperor.
Suddenly, the palace was in chaos. All the people rushed over to round up the Assassin.
Li Yuankang and Zhu Ajiao also rushed over after hearing the news.
But the Assassin had changed his clothes again. Mingling in the crowd and trying to avoid people's eyes.
Soon Zhu Ajiao found that this guard was acting abnormally, and everyone was panicked, but this assassin walked very calmly, but the route he took was hidden, as if he was deliberately avoiding the attention of others.
