Chapter 361: Palace Killing
As far as Yelu Hongji himself is concerned, his feelings about Xiao Guanyin are very complicated.
On the one hand, the reason why Xiao Guanyin attracted him at the beginning was because of the characteristics of women that were different from other women. He is good at poetry and painting, and he is also good at pipa, and he is beautiful and has thousands of manners.
It can be said that from Xiao Guanyin's body, Yelu Hongji saw a completely different side from other women on the prairie. And these qualities are also full of seduction/seduction, which deeply attracts him.
It was not without reason that he was crazy about Xiao Guanyin back then. Even today, when I think about it occasionally, I feel a little emotional and can't let go. The complexity of this feeling is completely impossible to express in words.
But on the other hand, Xiao Guanyin's own excellence makes her maverick, which is fundamentally incompatible with the Khitan itself. In Yelu Hongji's concept, the Khitan must never forget its roots from the beginning of the world.
What vertical arch and rule is all nonsense, only to maintain the ability to ride and shoot is still there, in order to ensure that the world of Daliao is solid. Learning the characteristics of the Southern Dynasties, thereby giving up the advantages of the Khitan, is simply a stupid and superfluous mistake.
It is precisely because of the intention of clinging to the advantages of his ancestors that Yelu Hongji always puts safari first. It is even necessary to pay attention to the handling of government affairs, and this is the reason.
But Xiao Guanyin blindly accused him of being lazy in entertainment and lazy in political affairs, even after his careful explanation, he still had to argue. It seems that if he is not persuaded to change his ways, he will not give up.
This has become a value conflict between the two worldviews, and the little tenderness accumulated earlier has been shattered in an instant. Yelu Hongji is the emperor after all, and it is impossible to be emotional.
So when this moment came, he hated Xiao Guanyin very much for not being like a woman on the prairie. Think about the woman surnamed Xiao around her ancestors, who can not only govern the army on the horse, but also govern the government on the horse.
They don't know poetry, they don't know how to play musical instruments, they can only ride horses and fight. In terms of style, it is more rough and unrestrained.
So Yelu Hongji finally appeared, as the emperor, he still needs such an empress, not an alternative on the prairie like Xiao Guanyin.
But although Xiao Guanyin's senses have changed, they still haven't lost the emotion that was still hidden in his heart.
After all, the queen was originally his goddess, and even now she is still beautiful, no less than back then. Even as he matures with age, he exudes a more dazzling and amazing charm.
Even if he doesn't love anymore, he will still be amazed by the occasional meeting.
He knows deeply how terrible the charm of the queen herself is, and I am afraid that there is really no man in Daliao who is not attracted by Xiao Guanyin's own temperament.
Such a beautiful woman with amazing charm is also his queen and former lover. Even if his emotions had gradually faded now, he couldn't allow Xiao Guanyin to have another man by his side.
The reason why he chose the most violent means to deal with the rumors this time was not without jealousy.
In fact, before hearing Zhao Weiyi's confession just now, Xiao Guanyin's fate had already been decided.
Yelu Hongji could not tolerate similar rumors appearing to him, and did not want to lose his imperial power prematurely. Even if the discredited emperor still sits in that position, who can guarantee that the rest of the nobles will not be tempted?
After all, the Khitan has never been a country similar to the Southern Dynasties, and there are not so many rules and regulations.
In the prairie, the only thing that can really decide everything is the strength of Chiguoguo. is strong enough to be able to sit in this position and command the world. When the emperor loses his strength, the imperial power itself will not give him any superfluous help.
So whether to find out the truth or not is of no significance to the emperor. It's just a matter of giving him more confidence and giving him enough name.
Of course, when he finally heard the truth that Zhao Wei confessed, it was actually the monks of Tianxiong Temple who were behind the scenes, which also made Yelu Hongji quietly relieved. Even he was unwilling to confront Ding Yang head-on.
He had learned enough of the various miracles of the Eight Miao Immortals. If it really comes to the most dangerous point, I'm afraid there is only one way to choose to survive with a broken tail.
But now, since it's not that the Eight Miao Immortals really have a personal affair with the queen, then he doesn't have to go to the last step.
Looking at the frightened eyes of the many concubines next to him, and then looking at Xiao Guanyin's faint uneasiness, Yelu Hongji suddenly felt very tired. Of course, the culprit this time was found, and Zhao Weiyi was also killed.
But the reason why this rumor was able to spread so ferociously in a short period of time would not have been able to achieve this effect without the help of those concubines.
In the final analysis, the queen did not like him, which led to the expansion of the ambitions of the concubines.
All these mistakes are also in time to be corrected today. Just let iron and blood complete the gorgeous transformation, and let it all be reborn in death.
"That's it!" Yelu Hongji waved his hand lightly and gave the final order: "Let's do it!" ”
"Yes!" The guards' grim faces did not reveal any extra emotion, and without hesitation, they stepped forward and aimed their blood-stained knives and guns at the remaining palace people.
The many concubines who hadn't reacted before they only had time to exclaim a few times, and they didn't even have time to plead, and the palace people who had been interrogated just now fell in a pool of blood in an instant.
"Ah......" All kinds of screams before death came and went, shaking everyone's eardrums and good hearts.
Watching familiar faces fall in an instant, blood and heads are everywhere. What was originally a peaceful and beautiful court has gradually turned into a Shura purgatory, and everyone can't accept it.
In particular, many palace people turned out to be close confidants around the concubines, and they were all characters who often faked tigers.
Their position was important even in the eyes of many nobles and ministers. Therefore, it is often close and especially preferential.
However, at this time, he didn't get a trace of mercy, and he was in a different place in an instant, and he no longer had the slightest anger.
Finally, a concubine couldn't help but stand up, rushed to the emperor's side, knelt on the ground and begged bitterly: "Your Majesty, let go of the concubine's nurse!" She is innocent and did not participate in this rumor storm! Please, Your Majesty......"
The cuckoo weeps blood, and it is nothing more than this. The sadness and pleading in it will be tempting even if the iron man hears it.
What's more, the concubine pear blossom brought rain, and she brought some extra style out in her plea, which made it more and more exciting.
And one of them started, and the rest of the concubines also cried one after another, pleading with Yelu Hongji. All of them wanted to forgive the pleas of their close confidants, and suddenly a crying sound was added to the screams.
Only the queen Xiao Guanyin had a miserable white face and trembled all over, but she never stepped forward to plead.
Yelu Hongji glanced at her deeply, and then glanced at the group of concubines in front of him with disgust: "Spare her?" ”
"Yes, yes, please, Your Majesty, please have great mercy and spare her!"
"Yes, yes! This time the incident is clearly the monks of Tianxiong Temple with bad intentions, what does it have to do with them? ”
The concubines only cared about pleading, and they didn't hear that the emperor's voice was full of impatience and indifference.
Only Xiao Guanyin's heart sank, and she who was familiar with the emperor even heard a little bit of cold murderous aura wafting from her tone. It was not aimed at those palace people, but at the concubines in front of them.
Sure enough, the next moment, I saw Yelu Hongji slowly stand up and sneered: "Hmph, it has nothing to do with them?" Is that really all there is to it? ”
Without waiting for the concubines to continue to plead, Yelu Hongji's face suddenly changed.
"Choke!" With a bang, he pulled out a sword from the guard next to him and slashed viciously at the face of the concubine who was currently speaking.
In an instant, blood splattered, and a deep wound was cut on her white face. The delicate skin can block the sharp sword, and the eyelids are open and bloody.
The concubine, who had never even heard a word of heavy words, had already let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground.
The concubines, who were still begging hard, were suddenly stunned by this scene, and saw that the blade had already slashed into the concubine's face. Flesh and bones, all have been revealed.
"Ah......" Although everyone had also seen the bloody slaughter around them, to be exact, they had seen a lot just now. I was scared and scared, and I was vomiting to the point of being a mess, but no one thought that such a bloody and tragic scene would happen close at hand.
With a few screams piercing the eardrums, the concubines who were still gathered around Yelu Hongji just now instantly scattered and fled, and some simply fainted.
But Yelu Hongji was not disturbed in the slightest, but walked like a fly, brandishing his sword and chasing after the fleeing concubines.
Every time a sword fell, a large amount of blood would be splashed, and a fragrant soul would fly away.
Xiao Guanyin always sat next to him in a daze, as if he was stunned. Didn't say a word, didn't have any expression at all. Just sitting, his eyes have long lost focus.
And the concubines who escaped couldn't run far at all, not to mention that their physical strength was very limited, and there were even jackals, tigers and leopards-like guards who chased and intercepted them on all sides, and didn't let anyone leave at all.
In the end, Yelu Hongji is worthy of being out hunting all year round, and his combat effectiveness is still very impressive.
With his fight and pursuit, he even changed a few swords in his hand, and finally killed everyone in turn.
In the end, his woman still has to be killed with his own hands, and he must not let others do it for him. Not even the guards.
When he turned around, he saw that only Xiao Guanyin was still sitting in the distance, except for a slight tremor in his body, the rest did not show any abnormality.
"Alas...... Guanyinnu, you are really the most unique one! At all times, this is true. I chose you to be the queen back then, but after all, I still didn't pick the wrong person, but it's a pity that ......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard an angry shout not far away: "Who dares to trespass on the Forbidden Palace?" ”
