Volume 2 Chapter 51 Sweeping
In the main hall of the upper dynasty, Lin Ran sat on the dragon chair that only His Majesty the Emperor could sit on, looking at the corpses below, as well as the old eunuch who had been abolished his martial arts but still swore to protect His Majesty the Emperor... There were also the few remaining innate masters, shook their heads, looked at the deputy commander of the forbidden army on the side, and ordered.
"Go and call all the civil and military officials, and tell them that Your Majesty has something to announce. Remember to invite all of them to come... You know? β
The deputy commander of the forbidden army bowed down, and then led 1/3 of the march in the palace to leave the palace to "invite" the civil and military officials of the Great Song Dynasty.
Looking out through the doorway, the sky was already completely dark.
I estimated the time, and if it were to be changed to earth time, it would be almost 8:00.
Got up from the dragon chair and looked down to the one that had stopped bleeding. He looked down and didn't dare to look at his Emperor Majesty walking away.
Although His Majesty the Emperor's personal old eunuch has abolished his martial arts, he is still staring at Lin Ran, once Lin Ran does something that endangers His Majesty the Emperor, he will pull Lin Ran on his back even if he dies.
Came to the side of our Emperor His Majesty, ignored the gaze of this old eunuch, looked at His Majesty the Emperor, and said softly.
"My dear Imperial Majesty, did you ever think it would end like this?"
His Majesty the Emperor still lowered his head, not daring to look at Lin Ran, but his hands were clenched tightly, and his fingernails had already pinched into the flesh.
Although he is weak and incompetent, he is the king of a country, and he also needs backbone and dignity.
Lin Ran shook his head and commanded at the fifth general.
"Intended purpose, tonight there are people in the martial arts who broke into the palace at night and assassinated the emperor, and all the princes and princesses of the emperor were killed, and the harem also suffered an unprecedented disaster. At this time, it is obligated to stand up and preside over this overall situation and avenge His Majesty the Emperor. β
"By the way, when the propaganda went out, we added a sentence that we caught four murderers, all of whom were congenital masters, although they didn't admit their identities, but their bald heads betrayed them, and they were the emperor of the Shaolin Temple and the Khitan assassination, do you know?"
The five generals nodded in unison, then got down on one knee.
"Wechen obeys."
Lin Ran's words fell, and His Majesty the Emperor, who lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Lin Ran, also looked up at Lin Ran suddenly and roared.
"No, you can't kill me, you can't kill me, I'm the emperor of the Song Dynasty, if you kill me, you're rebelling... Let me go, let me go...... If you let me go, I will announce the Zen position to the world to you...... How is it? β
Lin Ran chuckled, shook his head, and then squatted down to look at His Majesty the Emperor, who was like a mad dog.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I don't know if you've ever heard of such a sentence?"
"Success and defeat, history books are written by the victors, what do ordinary people know? Anyone who knows will be like I said, Your Majesty the Emperor, you were killed by the Shaolin Temple and the Khitan, and I stood up at the critical moment to maintain the overall situation and maintain the country of our Han people, Your Majesty the Emperor, you can go with peace of mind. β
"Nope! You can't kill me! No! I can't die, I can't die......"
"Rebels and thieves ......"
His Majesty the Emperor and the old eunuch's voices stopped at the same time, and the Fifth Admiral had already killed both of them.
Lin Ran has no intention of cleaning this hall, since he has torn his face and completely rebelled, there is no need to cover it up anymore, as long as he conceals the group of ignorant people, everyone in the court is a smart person, Lin Ran believes that they will make the right choice.
After killing His Majesty the Emperor and the old eunuch, Lin Ran whispered a few words to a fifth general, and then the fifth general rushed towards the harem of this palace with hundreds of forbidden troops.
Lin Ran said that His Majesty the Emperor died in the assassination of the people of the Shaolin Temple, and His Majesty the Emperor died in the assassination of the people of the Shaolin Temple. His Majesty the Emperor's princess and princess were all killed, so there must not be a single one left. If the harem suffers a great disaster, it must cause a great disaster.
Although there will be a lot of innocent children and innocent women who will disappear, isn't that what the court coup is?
Since you have decided to become the concubine of His Majesty the Emperor and the son of His Majesty the Emperor, you must be mentally prepared for this.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the first official came to this hall, and his pupils shrank when he saw Lin Ran sitting on the dragon chair and His Majesty the Emperor lying in the pile of corpses, but he didn't scream, and silently came to the place where he stood before the court, and stood respectfully.
They are all people with brains, now that His Majesty the Emperor is dead, a new one has appeared, and now His Majesty the new Emperor is waiting for the unconvinced bird to appear, and it is better to be honest if you don't want to die.
Lin Ran sat on the dragon chair with his eyes closed, that plan could be implemented immediately, he was a little excited, and the blood in his body seemed to be boiling.
A manly man stands up to the sky, Lin Ran also wants to do so, now that the opportunity has finally come, he will never give up.
In the next half hour, hundreds of civil and military officials came one after another, including civilian officials, military attachΓ©s, and neutral factions.
The people from the tripartite camp were all stunned after entering the main hall, they didn't expect Lin Ran to do such a thing as rebellion, and he didn't hide it, it was simply unbelievable, incredible, and even subverted the three views.
They didn't say anything for the sake of their lives.
The generals were even a little happy, they had long been dissatisfied with His Majesty the Emperor, and now that Lin Ran was on the throne, the day of their military generals had come.
And neutral factions? Although they expressed neutrality, no matter who supported or did not help, but seeing His Majesty the Emperor lying in a pool of blood, and Lin Ran sitting on the dragon chair, they still felt that their hearts were in turmoil, and this Zhenguo general was really as ruthless as rumored.
His Majesty the Emperor said that killing is killing, and he didn't care about his face at all, so he put His Majesty's body in the place of the upper court, and called them to hold a meeting here, this time it really completely tore his face.
According to the principle that the bigger the characters, the later they appear, the first to come are some irrelevant officials.
Some of the big names who can really influence the court have not yet come.
Of course, excluding the prime minister who has become a civilian clique whose body has fallen to the ground.
This guy was unlucky, he was too close to Lin Ran when he first fired the bow and crossbow, and he was accidentally shot in the heart by a guy, and he died at that time.
After waiting for another five or six minutes, the first big man came, another representative of the military general group. is only a head lower than Lin Ran.
However, this military general is at odds with Lin Ran, and he supports His Majesty the Emperor.
When he didn't enter the palace, he felt the difference between Tokyo and the atmosphere of the palace, and there were speculations along the way, but when he really saw His Majesty the Emperor lying in a pool of blood, Lin Ran sitting on the dragon chair, he was still a little incredulous.
I didn't expect Lin Ran to really do something rebellious. Unbelievable, truly unbelievable.
With a cramp in his head, he roared.
"Rebellious ministers and thieves dare to do something to kill the king, they should be punished."
This general's martial arts are also in the late congenital stage, but his comprehensive strength is a little worse than Lin Ran.
If Lin Ran wanted to do something with the other party, he could completely suppress the other party, but from now on, he would be the supreme existence of the Song Dynasty, and it was not for a person of his status to do it.
Hundreds of forbidden troops raised their crossbows at the same time, pointing at which general?
The general was speechless for a moment, and felt a creepy feeling, as if he would be shot into a hedgehog in the next second.
The generals who were closer to the general were farther away, afraid of injuring themselves by mistake.
The general was also aware of the danger and stood there honestly.
Some regrets, why didn't he directly lead the troops to violently attack the city when he found that the atmosphere was wrong, and he might be able to sit in that position at that time.
You must know that his people are not much worse than Lin Ran.
Two or three minutes later, another court bigwig arrived, and it was another representative of the civil officials.
It is said that these civil officials are really enough, and it is easy to say that ordinary people are good, whoever is strong will follow whomever they want, and they will be inflammatory.
And those really powerful civil officials ... Some minds begin to come alive and do some dangerous things.
Some are too patriotic, dedicated to the country and the monarch.
The second-in-command of this civil official is the latter, the other party sensed that something was wrong when Lin Ran blocked Tokyo City, and wanted to come out of his mansion to meet His Majesty the Emperor, but now he was forcibly taken to the palace by Lin Ran's people, and he was immediately angry when he saw His Majesty the Emperor who was lying in a pool of blood.
Just like the previous general, he pointed at Lin Ran and shouted.
"Rebellious ministers and thieves, rebellious ministers and thieves, the old man is going to fight with you, fight...... It's just that it's not as good as an animal, and it actually did something to kill the king. β
Lin Ran admired the other party's loyalty, but unfortunately, the other party was on the wrong side.
waved his hand to the forbidden troops on both sides, and then this loyal minister who was dedicated to the country and the king was dragged out.
This is also the sorrow of the civil official, if you want to talk about the general, Lin Ran will still think about it for a while, just like the previous general, because the other party has the power of the army, Lin Ran does not dare to easily do anything to the other party, at most he is just imprisoned, so that the other party's soldiers and horses do not act rashly.
And for civil servants? That's really fearless, you scold me? Well, I'll kill you, it's a big deal to select officials again, there is never a shortage of talents in this world to govern the country.
After the representative of the civil official was dragged out, all the officials present shivered inexplicably, and completely tore their faces, this is the meaning of whoever opposes it will be killed, power! Dictatorship.
Although Lin Ran, who was cursing in his heart, was going to die, on the surface, they were becoming more and more respectful, and they couldn't wait to kneel directly on the ground and bow down to Lin Ran and shout.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
In the next five or six minutes, there were several bigwigs from the DPRK and China, but except for the civilian representatives before that, there was no more brain-dead.
A rigid person can't get mixed up in this court.
Seeing that the once familiar faces were coming, Lin Ran also nodded, then looked at a small eunuch on the side and asked.
"Have all the officials from the DPRK and China arrived?"
The little eunuch took care of His Majesty the Emperor's daily life, and after His Majesty the Emperor hung up, he recognized Lin Ran, the new master.
"General, it's all here."
The little eunuch didn't directly call him Emperor Lin Ran, and he seemed to be quite smart.
Lin Ran nodded, then stood up from the dragon chair, glanced at the trembling civil and military officials below, and said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, just now, someone from the rivers and lakes infiltrated the palace to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, and none of the princes and princesses were spared, and the harem also suffered an unprecedented catastrophe. Although I, Lin Ran, am the general of Zhenguo, I failed to arrive in time to protect His Majesty, which is simply a crime that deserves death. β
The civil and military officials shouted in their hearts, the crime deserves ten thousand deaths, and it is indeed the crime that deserves ten thousand deaths, but who dares to really say it?
"I know that suicide is also to blame, so I vow to find out the murderer of His Majesty."
"But as the saying goes, the country can't be without a king for a day, and now Your Majesty and all the princes have all died in the hands of the people in the rivers and lakes, this court, our entire Song Dynasty needs someone to stand up and preside over the overall situation."
The hearts of civil and military officials, hehe, someone stood up to preside over the overall situation? If you want to be the emperor yourself, just say it, His Majesty the Emperor has killed him, and he is still engaged in these false things.
Since you've already torn your face, let's just come here!
They thought that Lin Ran wanted them to elect Emperor Lin Ran, and Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe was average.
But unexpectedly, Lin Ran said next.
"I think I'm quite suitable to preside over the overall situation, which of you is for and against."
The civil and military officials of the court were still silent, neither in favor nor against, and they won the essence of the golden mean.
Lin Ran swept around the court, then looked at the general who had scolded him before, and asked.
"General Sun, what do you think?"
The other party cursed Lin Ran to death in his heart, which forced him to stand in line.
There was a respectful look on his face.
"Weichen feels that only the general of Zhenguo can take on the heavy responsibility."
Lin Ran showed a smile on his face, this General Sun is not very strong, but the other party knows how to bow his head, so he can't leave the other party, he can't stay if he is too rigid, he can't stay if he is too smart, and he can't stay if he is mediocre.
Now he just wants to stabilize the court and give an explanation to those ordinary people.
When this matter is revealed, he will carry out a big blood change for the entire court.
Look at which representative of the civil clique.
"Wang Shangshu, what do you think?"
Wang Shangshu believes in the golden mean, he has always remained neutral when the civil official group and the military attache group fought each other, and now the previous emperor His Majesty has been lying in a pool of blood, and the new emperor has a knife on his neck for him to choose, what other choice can there be? As long as you don't want to die, you know what to choose.
"Weichen also thinks that only the general of Zhenguo can take on this important task."
Nodding in satisfaction, he then looked at the last representative of the civilian clique.
This time, without waiting for Lin Ran to ask, the man bowed and saluted.
"Weichen also thinks that only the general of Zhenguo can take on this important task."
With the statements of the three giants, the civil and military officials also bent down in unison, bowed and saluted, and shouted in their mouths.
"Weichen also thinks that only the general of Zhenguo can take on this important task."
Lin Ran nodded with satisfaction, force is always the best way to solve the problem.
"In this case, let's tell the world, and inform the abbot of Shaolin Temple, the leader of the beggar gang and other heads of the martial arts sects, so that they can come to Tokyo in half a month to clarify the innocence of their sects, and if they don't come, the army will exterminate them."
After speaking, Lin Ran looked at the commander of the Imperial Forest Army again.
"Ye Qing, this general ordered you to go to Dali Wuliang Mountain immediately, to find a place called Langhuan Jade Cave, bring me back the Northern Shengong from inside, and bring me back to Mr. Congwen's residence to bring a person back, that person is named Wuyazi, who is a cripple."
"Remember, you must bring the other person back alive, no matter what method you use."
"General Mo's order."
After Lin Ran finished speaking, he glanced at the civil and military officials in the court again. Said lightly.
"Colleagues, the murderer of His Majesty the Emperor has not been found, and I suspect that the other party is hiding in our Tokyo City, so from today onwards, all Tokyo City will be under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter but not leave, do you have any opinions?"
Saying that, Lin Ran's eyes swept towards the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and he hoped that a bird would fly out so that he could stand up for power, but unfortunately, the hundreds of officials in the court saw Lin Ran's glance, and their legs and stomachs trembled, and no one dared to jump out first, not to the point of suicide.
Even the same is true of General Sun, who has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Since it's been a while, it's a matter of course to do it a second time, and the third time.
"Since you have no problem, then it is proposed that from today onwards the city of Tokyo will be completely closed and curfewed, and anyone will only be allowed to enter or leave, and those who dare to disobey will be killed."
After giving the order, Lin Ran had a kind smile on his face.
walked down the stairs, came to the corpses of the dozens of people below, looked at the corpses of His Majesty the Emperor, and said lightly.
"The rebellious ministers and thieves are too hateful, they didn't leave the whole body for His Majesty the Emperor, come on, take the body of His Majesty the Emperor and burn it."
This is said lightly, the emperor's body was burned so casually, burned, burned! Say the important thing three times.
The civil and military officials once again felt that Lin Ran was a madman, and even Lin Ran's people felt the cruelty and ruthlessness of this general of the town country.
But when things have developed to this point, they have no choice but to follow Lin Ran one way to go, even if the road ahead will break them.
The corpses of His Majesty the Emperor and the dozens of people were cleaned out like garbage, and the civil and military officials stood on both sides, trembling, not daring to say the slightest word, and not daring to breathe.
Lin Ran came to the door of the main hall, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said as if he was talking to himself.
"The moon in the sky is so beautiful, it's a pity that some people will never see it again."
The civil and military officials shrank their necks in fright again, they didn't come out, why did Lin Ran still attack them.
