Chapter 209: Moths to the Fire, Why the Hurry
He glanced at Emperor Zhaoyuan, gritted his teeth, and finally said the last taboo sentence, "If this goes on for a long time, if you repeat the mistakes of Emperor Jing of the previous dynasty, wouldn't you become a puppet?" β
As soon as the words fell, I saw that Emperor Zhaoyuan's face was cold, and he said: "Zuo Xiang, you are too presumptuous"
"This is a big rebellion, the minister knows."
Zuo Xiang did not give in, "But Long Live is the lord of the world, and every shot is related to the country, how can he let his life and health be manipulated in the hands of others?" β
Emperor Zhaoyuan's eyes were cold, he glanced angrily, Zuo Xiang lifted the hem of his robe, knelt on his knees, but still looked at him with his head held high, and refused to back down.
The two were silent, although it was the early summer morning, the atmosphere seemed to be condensed into ice, and the sentence "Emperor Jing of the former dynasty" was like an invisible haze, isolating the expressions of the two.
The old story of Emperor Jing of the former dynasty is well known, and the storyteller in the teahouse and wine shop tells his story, and everyone gasps and applauds - because it is too sensational
It is said that Emperor Jing was lively in cultivating immortals, and often invited strange people from all over the world to come to the palace to visit the road. The so-called night road is easy to see ghosts, one day he finally met a Taoist master called Guangcheng, this person is not only immortal wind bones, and can refine the elixir, once Emperor Jing took it, immediately a hundred times more energetic, almost sixty years old, can actually ride a horse and shoot deer, the night royal number of women, and even the slightest white hair has become black and shiny.
Emperor Jing was overjoyed, and Feng Guang became a real person who protected the country, taking the pill he made by himself every day, which day he didn't eat, he would be soft, tears and snot flowing, and his health and consciousness were controlled by Guangcheng, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty must call Guangcheng "Master", otherwise they would be beaten to death by the court staff, and even the princess who was like a flower and jade could not escape Guangcheng's claws, and a palace became a yin nest of black smoke and miasma.
Of course, a demon like Guangcheng couldn't last long, and was quickly killed by the heir, but since then, there has been an unwritten consensus among the monarchs: no matter how weak and sick the body is, they will never invite a surgeon to come for treatment.
"Your Majesty, you must not put the dragon body under the control of the sorcerer demon."
Zuo Xiang admonished bitterly, but his eyes were as resolute as ice.
Emperor Zhaoyuan lowered his eyes, and when he opened them again, he said indifferently: "You may not be out of public heart when you say this, right?" β
Without waiting for Zuo Xiang to react, he continued: "The master you came from is the one who takes it as your mission to eliminate the exterminators. β
Zuo Xiang shook his head, and then smiled bitterly, "Sure enough, being troubled by Ning Fei's kid, Long Live saw through my sword moves." β
He looked at Emperor Zhaoyuan, but his knees still refused to leave the ground, "Yes, I have a sword, and I have always been like fire and water with sorcerers, and I myself hate these demons even more - but, the minister returned that sentence, please remember Emperor Jing's past, and don't let sorcerers control their bodies."
His eyes were cold and bright, with a resolute light like a rockβno one in heaven and earth could shake his determination
After a long silence, Emperor Zhaoyuan sighed, turned around and left, leaving only one sentence in the morning wind, "The words of the sorcerer, I can't believe it, this time I was too rash - on the side of the national teacher, I will be careful to guard against it." β
Zuo Xiang stared at his back, there seemed to be water flashing in his eyes, but there was a comfortable smile on his lips-
Emperor...... After all, I listened to my own words
But after a moment, he regained his usual indifference, and slowly stood up from the ground, even if his knees were slightly numb from the exertion, there was no expression on his face.
"Left-eyed Prime Minister, Urgent Performance"
Someone came in a hurry, and was stunned by the devastation in his eyes, Zuo Xiang frowned impatiently, reached out to take the emergency report in his arms, and then glanced at it twice, and his face suddenly changed-
"King Xi's men and horses are rapidly gathering and evacuating towards the outside of the city?"
His brows furrowed even deeper, and he could almost tie a dead knot, "The conspiracy between the Queen Mother and the Ji clan has just emerged, why did King Xi, who should have been kept in the dark, react so timely?" β
His voice was low, with cold killing intent and regret, "Banzai wanted to serve them in one pot, but I didn't expect him to run away so early......"
He immediately made up his mind and was about to sign the edict, but he found that there was a mess all around, and he didn't think about the four treasures of the study, so he took out his charcoal pen, hurriedly wrote a few sentences, and returned the seal to the messenger, "Send it quickly, please be sure to stop King Xi's men and horses on the official road outside the city."
The messenger was just about to leave, but he heard countless noises and dull footsteps outside, and looked up, only to see that in the direction of the front court, there were bursts of smoke and dust gradually approaching, overshadowing those majestic halls and white jade watches.
"What's wrong?"
"Could it be that a large group of men is approaching?"
Someone whispered uneasily.
The experienced military supervisors and guards climbed up the half-ruined roof beams one after another, and looked into the distance, Zuo Xiang snorted coldly, and actually flew up on the vermilion wall, and his cold gaze moved in the direction of the front court-
I saw that a large number of men and horses were gradually approaching Yande Gate, the armor was cold, and the military appearance was solemn, obviously an elite army.
The soldiers in front of the Yande Gate had closed the bronze gate, shouted loudly above the city tower, and ordered those who came to stop.
What promised them was hundreds of crossbow arrows that burst through the air, with a sharp roar, and instantly took people's lives.
The unprepared city guards were stunned by this sudden death giant*, and many of them were shot directly into hedgehogs before they could take off the iron shields at the head of the city, and their terrible screams before falling to the ground shook the hearts of their neighbors. A few were even nailed to the mountain wall torn by flesh, their hands and feet still twitching, and there was a dull pop in the night, the terrible sound of arrows breaking flesh and bones.
"Enemy Attack"
"There is a rebellion in the party"
A shrill scream pierced the silence of the morning and resounded over the Huamei Palace.
The people looking on the roof were suddenly stunned: the sky was blue and white, and someone really dared to attack the palace
Previously, because Emperor Zhaoyuan was seriously ill and unconscious, the people of Tiandu City were panicked, and King Xi's Gu family's private soldiers were ready to move, and even occupied the palace of the previous dynasty in the name of guarding the emperor's side - but no one expected to have such courage when they came in with such an open fire
"Could it be that His Royal Highness King Xi wants to ......?"
Everyone exchanged glances, trembling at the conjecture.
The black army finally rushed to the door, the chaotic smoke and dust dispersed, and even the banner could be seen a little clearly, it was the word "Ji" of Canglong Mofei
"It's actually the restoration of the Ji family?"
A eunuch with a head and face screamed, unable to suppress the shock in his heart, and actually fell off the roof.
