Twenty-six-eight, turn the tide

Li Yuanxiao continued to say aggressively: "What is the situation now, haven't you seen it clearly, sister-in-law?" You see, the guards in this great hall are all mine, and half of the ministers of this court will be due to me, and if anyone wants to return to me, then he can save his life. If anyone insists on going against me, then before Li Chengyu's army attacks, I must let him die without a corpse. ”

After hearing him say this, the courtiers looked at each other for a while, but there were still many people who chose to stand by Yao Zhenyin's side, but these generals were almost all civil generals, and occasionally there were a few generals, and they fought with so many guards, and I am afraid that they were not the opponents of those guards.

Li Yuanxiao stretched out his hand and waved his hand, shouting, "The Four Heavenly Kings, all the dead soldiers. So the four heavenly kings and the dead men came forward one after another to surround the entire palace.

These four heavenly kings are said to be strong in martial arts, and the group of dead soldiers under him are even more cultivated by him with all his efforts, and these people are naturally absolutely loyal to him.

"I want you to kill Yao Zhenyin and her grandson immediately, even if Li Chengyu attacks at that time, and sees that the crown prince is dead, and I am the only one left in the Li family's imperial dynasty. No matter how loyal Li Chengyu is, he will leave me alive and let me preside over the overall situation. Hahaha. You must know that Li Chengyu is not loyal to you, Yao Jiyin Empress Dowager Yao, he is loyal to the world of my Li family. ”

When Yao Jiyin heard him say this, she was stunned, and she sat there a little nervously.

Indeed, she made a mistake, she knew that Li Chengyu was a loyal minister, but Li Yuanxiao was also right, Li Chengyu was loyal to the Li family's dynasty, not Yao Zhenyin.

If Li Yuanxiao kills the little prince at this time, the Li family will only have Li Yuanxiao's bloodline, and at that time, with Li Chengyu's character, he will definitely not kill Li Yuanxiao again, but will support him as the emperor, after all, the Li family's country cannot be unsustainable.

Yao Zhenyin's face began to become ugly, from beginning to end, Yao Zhenyin was very calm and stable, she had never been nervous, but now she was very nervous, she immediately called someone, hugged the little prince in front of her, and hugged the little prince tightly.

The little prince also seemed to have sensed her nervousness, and said to her, "Don't be afraid, grandma, I'm by your side." He nodded vigorously.

Yao Yongsheng was still begging her sister, but when he saw this situation, he suddenly laughed and said: "Yes, thousands of calculations, sister, I didn't expect you to miss such a trick, as long as the crown prince is dead, I believe that with the character of General Li Chengyu, he will definitely support Prince Li Yuanxiao as the emperor." This is also called that people are not as good as heaven. Speaking of this, he stood on Li Yuanxiao's side without hesitation.

Many people saw that Yao Zhenyin's brother was standing there, so they followed and stood there, but there were still some ministers who stood on Yao Zhenyin's side.

A minister patted his chest and said: "There is always a death for people, either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than Hongmao, since I am a member of the Joseon Dynasty, then I must be loyal to my conscience in death, and I must not be a chaotic minister and thief." If you have to kill the Queen Mother and the little prince, then kill me together. With that, he stood in front of Yao Jiyin and the crown prince.

Immediately after that, several ministers also stepped forward, and the scene had reached a white-hot stage.

"Well, stop talking so much nonsense, what's the use of talking so much nonsense? Do I still have to wait for Li Chengyu to attack and come in? Come on, hurry up and deal with Yao Zhenyin and the little prince. Whoever can kill the little prince will be rewarded heavily, and when the time comes, there will be no problem not only sealing him as a feudal official, but also as a king and marquis. Li Yuanxiao said coercively.

As soon as the Four Heavenly Kings heard this, they immediately took action to deal with the little prince, how powerful the martial arts of the Four Heavenly Kings were, and they quickly rushed to the front of Yao Zhenyin.

Seeing this situation, Yao Zhenyin held the little prince tightly in his arms.

"How's it going? Empress Dowager Yao, do you still want to protect the little prince? As he spoke, one of the tall and thin men of the Four Heavenly Kings pulled the little prince over, and he was full of strength, and after pulling the little prince, he drew his sword and prepared to kill the little prince.

And at this time, he only saw a flash of silver light, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a snap, and when he was stunned, the little prince in his hand was gone.

He didn't see what was going on at all, and when he was surprised, someone suddenly laughed and said, "Do you guys not exist when I Ji Qihan?" ”

The person who spoke was Ji Kaihan, but he was holding the little emperor and grandson in his hands.

"How could it be you? Aren't you poisoned? Yao Yongsheng pointed at Ji Xianhan and asked.

"When did I get poisoned? It's just that Yao Xiangye thought he was poisoned, did Ji say that he would be poisoned? He laughed as he spoke.

At this time, Li Yuanxiao said to him with some hatred: "Mr. Ji, let me tell you one last time, you have been hit by my Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill in your body, and this Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill is not to return people's souls at all, but to people's souls." If you don't help me, I believe that there will be no antidote to the poison in your body, and you will only die at that time. ”

"What's the matter if the husband dies? What's the joy of life? I didn't have anything to worry about in this world, but now that I can do something great and die, why wouldn't I do it? It's just Empress Dowager Yao, you must remember that after you return to the country, you must send someone to help the eldest princess quell the chaos. ”

"Don't worry, I've promised you, and I will never speak."

"I'm naturally relieved of what you said, well, in that case, I'm going to swear to keep you safe today." As he spoke, one hand pulled over the Empress Dowager Yao and asked her to hide behind him.

At this time, he glanced at Li Yuanxiao and said to him: "Lord Wang, the four heavenly kings under your command are really very good in martial arts. But compared with the next, it's not boasting under it, it's really a little witch meeting a big witch. Hahahaha. ”

After hearing Ji Kaihan say this, he immediately became a little annoyed, Li Yuanxiao pointed at Ji Kaihan and said to him hatefully: "Mr. Ji, I hope you can distinguish current affairs clearly and stop resisting." Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, will you be able to withstand so many dead soldiers and forbidden soldiers in my palace? ”

"That's not necessarily, if you have any doubts about Ji's kung fu, just give it a try."

As he spoke, the Four Heavenly Kings had already taken turns to attack, and the Four Heavenly Kings were already extremely martial arts in the Joseon Dynasty, and the government and the opposition were all frightened when they mentioned the Four Heavenly Kings, who knew that in front of Ji Xianhan, they were not vulnerable at all.

The four heavenly kings took turns to attack in front of Ji Kaihan, and they were kicked to the ground by Ji Kaihan one by one, they looked at each other, and couldn't help but be very annoyed.

Ji Qihan said with a smile: "It is said that the Four Heavenly Kings know the formation, which is quite powerful, since this is the case, you might as well attack it together." ”

So the Four Heavenly Kings took a look, and together they formed a formation and attacked Ji Qihan.

Ji Qihan paid careful attention to their formation, and couldn't help laughing, this formation is not a capable formation in the Central Plains martial arts at all, I didn't expect it to be thought to be a very powerful formation in North Korea, it can be seen that it is really the Central Plains martial arts.

Ji Qihan couldn't help laughing, Ji Qihan said: "I thought you had any very powerful formations, in my opinion, your formations are just child's play." With that, he took action against the Four Heavenly Kings.

The four heavenly kings have always been invincible in North Korea, but now they are insulted by Ji Xianhan, how can they not be angry? How can you not be depressed? What's more, in front of Li Yuanxiao, let them be so faceless, of course they are not convinced.

So they exhausted their strength to eat milk and fought with Ji Qihan, but it was a pity that what they met today was Ji Qihan, if they met an ordinary character, then it would be fine, but Ji Qihan was already a master among the masters in the Central Plains martial arts, not to mention in a small North Korea?

Ji Qihan only needed a dozen moves, and he easily broke the formation of the Four Heavenly Kings, flying up with one kick and kicking one by one, kicking the Four Heavenly Kings in the four corners of the palace.

After the Four Heavenly Kings were tossed by Ji Qihan like this, they couldn't get up anymore, they were lying there, touching their stomachs, and screaming.

Ji Qihan couldn't help laughing.

No one thought that Ji Xianhan would have such a high level of martial arts, and they were also frightened.

Ji Kaihan sneered and said: "I said it a long time ago, it's better for you not to resist stubbornly, I, Ji Kaihan, am indeed not a martial arts master." But in your little North Korea, it is more than enough to deal with you. ”

He laughed as he spoke.

When everyone saw him, who would dare to surround him? They never dreamed that Ji Kaihan's martial arts skills would be so high.

Seeing this, Li Yuanxiao couldn't help but be very annoyed, he knew that he couldn't admit defeat at this time no matter what, otherwise, everything he had done before would be in vain.

He glanced at the dead soldiers and said to them: "You go forward to deal with Ji Erhan together, I don't believe that Ji Senhan can still protect Empress Dowager Yao and her grandson." ”

So those dead soldiers stepped forward one after another, Ji Qihan frowned, and was thinking about how to deal with these people, when suddenly he remembered that before leaving, Jian Huaizhen had given him a plum blossom needle.

The plum blossom needle is a secret inheritance of Jian Huaizhen's master, and it is generally not given to others, but she has a good relationship with Ji Kaihan, and Ji Kaihan is doing things for her, so naturally it can't be the same.

So he picked up the plum blossom needle and threw it at everyone, the group of people never dreamed that there would be a plum blossom needle in Ji Kaihan's hand, and the plum blossom needle fell on their body, impartially, and it happened to fall on their acupoint, so there was a sudden sound of oops, oops, oops.

A group of dead soldiers were knocked down, and another group of dead soldiers came forward, Ji Qihan immediately sprinkled another handful of plum blossom needles out, and soon, the group of dead soldiers lay on the ground again, wailing and howling.

In fact, Ji Xianhan is also a little nervous, because there are not many plum blossom needles in his hand, if there are such a large number of dead soldiers coming forward, I am afraid it will indeed be a little upset, because if he wants to escape from these dead soldiers, it will indeed be very easy, but if he wants to save Yao Jiyin and the prince to leave safely, it will be a little difficult, after all, he does not know how many dead soldiers Li Yuanxiao has hidden here.

The situation is getting more and more serious, who knows that Li Yuanxiao made an extremely wrong judgment at this time, he thinks that the plum blossom needle in Ji Kaihan's hand is not used up, he thinks that no matter how many dead soldiers he lets forward, Ji Kaihan will be able to deal with these dead soldiers, if he calls people to come forward, it is just a waste of dead soldiers.

These dead soldiers were all cultivated by Li Yuanxiao with great difficulty, if they were killed by Ji Qihan like this, wouldn't it be a pity, and there were not many dead soldiers in his hands now, he thought about it, and shouted to the dead soldier: "Prepare a bow and crossbow." ”

After the people in the hall heard about it, their faces immediately changed color, what it meant to prepare a bow and crossbow, they all understood, which showed that Li Yuanxiao was already annoyed and angry, and swore to die with Ji Xianhan, Yao Zhenyin and the little prince, this bow and arrow is not long-eyed, if the bow and arrow hit someone else's body, there will definitely be casualties at that time.

So someone said to Li Yuanxiao: "Lord Wang, you must think twice, if you shoot like this, you will definitely kill and injure many people." ”

Who knew that now Li Yuanxiao had been killed, his eyes were red, he shook his head and said, "No, you must prepare a bow and arrow to deal with that slut and that child." I don't believe that my dignified Li Yuanxiao can't deal with them, archers, prepare. ”

So the dead soldiers quickly took bows and crossbows and aimed them at Ji Xinhan, Yao Zhenyin and the prince in the palace.

When the courtiers saw this, everyone found a place to hide, and of course there were loyal ministers who came forward to protect Yao Jiyin.

Ji Kaihan glanced at them and said to them: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince are entrusted to me for protection, and you can each find a place to hide, so as not to harm the innocent." ”

After hearing him say this, those ministers found a place to hide, and Li Yuanxiao certainly didn't want to be shot down this time, and all the ministers were shot to death, so he still gave the ministers a chance to hide.

What he didn't expect was that Ji Qihan actually dragged Yao Jiyin with one hand and held the prince with the other, standing in front of the main hall, without any intention of hiding at all, he felt very strange.

When the ministers were almost hidden, he waved his hand to the archers and said, "Archers, get ready." So those archers shot arrows at Ji Xianhan, Yao Zhenyin and the prince.

Yao Jiyin knew at this time that she had no choice, either she chose not to believe in Ji Xianhan, and if she didn't believe in Ji Qihan's words, she would take the prince to hide quickly, and the other way was to believe in Ji Qihan, Ji Qihan was now standing in the center of the main hall with them, and if there were arrows and crossbows shooting over, they would definitely shoot at them first.

After hesitating again and again, she still chose to believe in Ji Qihan, she believed that Ji Qihan would definitely be able to save her ancestors and grandchildren, and sure enough, when an arrow and crossbow shot up, Ji Qihan held Yao Qiyin in one hand and the prince in the other, raised his head and looked up, and immediately jumped to the beam.

The beams of the main hall are very high, but Ji Kaihan has already calculated that with his own light skills, holding the prince with one hand and dragging Yao Zhenyin with the other, it should be easy to leap up, so he dared to gamble with Yao Zhenyin and the prince's lives.

Sure enough, they had already leaped to the beam of the main hall, and seeing this situation, Li Yuanxiao couldn't help but be angry and anxious, pointing to the people on the beam and saying to them, "Shoot on the beam." ”

"Yes." The dead men agreed.

But because the hall of the main hall is very high, it shouldn't be too difficult to shoot on the beam, but it's not easy to shoot at all if you want to shoot on the beam, not to mention that Ji Qihan helped the prince and Yao Zhenyin to the beam, so the area they want to shoot is very small.

Whenever a bow and arrow came forward, Ji Qihan would take the long sword in his hand and knock down those bows and arrows one after another, after the bow and arrow fell, it fell back to the body of the dead man, and those dead soldiers let out an oops, oops, oops, seeing this situation, Li Yuanxiao couldn't help but be very angry, he snatched the long sword from the hand of a dead soldier, and shot at the person on the beam.

Who knew that the long sword shot to the crossbar, did not shoot anyone, nor did it shoot on the crossbar, seeing that when it was almost on the crossbar, it fell instead, only to hear a pounce, and the arrow actually stabbed Yao Yongsheng's back impartially.

Yao Yongsheng was now hiding behind a pillar in the main hall, he never dreamed that disaster would fall from the sky, Li Yuanxiao tried his best to shoot the arrow, and the long arrow would shoot at his body, he screamed, and he was so painful that he couldn't speak anymore.

Seeing this situation, Yao Wanyun hurriedly shouted: "Dad, are you okay?" So he stepped forward to take care of Yao Yongsheng.

At this time, he heard a lot of fighting outside, and immediately after, Li Chengyu led the army to rush in.

After the army rushed up, they quickly caught those dead soldiers, and then, Li Yuanxiao was also caught by them, and at this time, seeing that the scene was under control, Ji Qihan took the prince and Yao Zhenyin down from the beam.

Yao Zhenyin hurriedly hugged the prince, turned around, and said to Ji Qihan: "Mr. Ji, thank you so much, if it wasn't for you just now, my ancestors and grandchildren would definitely not be able to survive." I don't know what to say, anyway, a thousand words, all turned into two words, thank you. ”

After Ji Kaihan heard her say this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Niangniang is polite." What I did in Xia was not only for Niangniang to be able to keep the country of North Korea, but also for Zaixia, it was also a great thing to do in Xia Ping's life. Also, I hope that the Queen Mother will keep her promise and send troops to the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Of course." Yao Zhenyin immediately nodded and said, "I am definitely not a person who does not keep my promises, and what I promised you will definitely be done." General Li, thank you for your hard work. ”

Li Chengyu saluted Yao Zhen and said: "The last general is willing to put down the rebellion for the imperial court, and it is definitely not hard. ”

So the scene was quickly controlled, and the courtiers who had taken refuge in Li Yuanxiao were very scared and terrified, lest Yao Jiyin settle accounts with them.

Yao Zhenyin glanced at them, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were faint, and she said: "I know that the reason why the ministers were attached to Li Yuanxiao before was also forced by him to have no choice. Li Yuanxiao is a scheming person, he controls many of your wives, children, and you are also doing this for the sake of your family, and the mourning family can not be blamed for the past. The mourning family only hopes that after the crown prince ascends to the throne, you can do your best to assist the prince and not let this happen again. ”

Those people were originally very scared, but when they suddenly heard Yao Zhenyin say this, they all knelt down and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, and the new emperor's Royal Highness is long live, long live." ”

Yao Jiyin waved his hand and told them to get up, and then a new guard began to clean up the battlefield in the palace.

Yao Zhenyin glanced at Yao Yongsheng on the side, and saw Yao Wanyun lying on top of him, desperately shouting his name, Yao Zhenyin sighed and said, "Come on, find an imperial doctor and heal Yao Yongsheng." No matter what, he is also the elder brother of the mourning family, even if he betrays the mourning family, he is unkind, and the mourning family cannot be unjust. ”

"Yes." Immediately, someone stepped forward to take care of Yao Yongsheng.

Not long after, a physician came forward and said, "Empress Dowager Qi, the arrow just now was directly inserted into Lord Yao's heart, and he may not be able to live." I have done my best, and I ask the Queen Mother to forgive. ”

After hearing what the imperial physician said, Yao Zhenyin sighed and said, "That's it, since that's the case, then forget it." Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, I know you have done your best, you go down. So the Imperial Physician waved his hand down.

Seeing Yao Wanyun crying miserably on the side, Yao Zhenyin didn't feel good in her heart, she never dreamed that it was her brother and niece who betrayed her in the end, which was really sad to think about.

Despite this, the matter finally calmed down, Yao Yongsheng did not do it right, it may have something to do with her blind distrust of Yao Yongsheng, in short, she doesn't plan to pursue it now.

Seeing her somewhat stunned look, Ji Qihan said to her from the side: "Queen Mother, I want to ask you for something." ”

After Yao Zhenyin heard him say this, he said a little strangely: "I don't know what I can do for Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji just needs to tell the mourning family, and the mourning family will do their best to help you." If it weren't for Mr. Ji to turn the tide and save the mourning family and their children, the mourning family would not have their lives now. ”

After hearing her say this, Ji Qihan said to her: "Actually, what I hope Niangniang does is very simple, that is, I hope Niangniang can look at your brother and let Miss Yao Er go." I believe that the reason why Miss Yao Er went to help Li Yuanxiao was also because of her difficulties, after all, no matter what, she also had to stand on her father's side, hoping that Niangniang could forgive her. ”

After hearing Ji Kaihan say this, Yao Zhenyin nodded and said: "I didn't plan to pursue Wan Yun, in fact, since she was a child, Wan Yun has been a very well-behaved child, and she has always had a very good relationship with my aunt." I can understand your thoughts, maybe she is also a victim in this war, after all, as a child, is her father going to tell her to do something, can she not do it? Don't worry, I won't embarrass her. ”

Hearing her say this, Ji Qihan smiled and nodded.

With the help of Ji Xianhan, Joseon finally put down the civil strife, and on the third day, the new crown prince took advantage of this great opportunity to ascend to the throne.

As for what to do with Li Yuanxiao, Yao Zhenyin has always been very undecided, although Li Yuanxiao is indeed a chaotic minister and thief, but he has always been Li Yuanzheng's own brother, if he is punished too severely, it will be a little difficult to block the world's mouth.

Yao Zhenyin has never been able to make up her mind about this matter, and Ji Qihan asked her to resign the day after the crown prince ascended the throne.

Ji Kaihan had to go, because he was poisoned in his body, if he didn't leave quickly, he believed that within a month, the poison in his body would not last long, and after having this thought, he went to say goodbye to Yao Zhen.

When Yao Zhenyin heard him come to leave, he nodded and said, "I know what Mr. Ji is thinking, Mr. Ji must be worried about the situation in Daming." In fact, the mourning family has been sending people to inquire, and now the situation in Daming is still calm, and at present, the eldest princess is still safe, and Mr. Ji can rest assured. ”

Ji Qihan smiled slightly and said, "No matter what, Ji has been here for a long time, and it's time to go back." ”

"In this case, the mourning family is not reluctant to Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji has done my country a great favor, I don't know what to ask for?"

Ji Kaihan thought for a while and said, "Didn't you already have a request before you went down?" The next request is to hope that the Queen Mother can let Miss Yao Er go, and the Queen Mother has already agreed, so there is no other request in the next place. In addition, I thank the Queen Mother for giving 100,000 elite troops to the next and let me go back to assist the imperial court. ”

Yao Zhenyin nodded and said: "This is what the mourning family should do, if it weren't for Mr. Ji's help, maybe the country of North Korea would have been subverted." The mourning family is just borrowing a little force to Mr. Ji, which is also what the mourning family should do. ”

"Queen Mother, looking at your sad face, it seems that there is still something that has not been resolved. If it is decided today, and the four seas are leveled, what is still unresolved in Niangniang's heart? ”

After hearing him ask, Yao Zhenyin nodded and said, "Mr. Ji is really like a torch, and he can't hide anything from you." is about Li Yuanxiao's punishment, and the mourning family has not thought about how to do it. The courtiers wrote to the emperor, and some people demanded that Li Yuanxiao be killed, which the mourning family would not agree with anyway, no matter what, Li Yuanxiao is also the prince of my Joseon Dynasty, he is indeed guilty of rebellion and did unforgivable things, but he can't take his life because of this, otherwise, the mourning family will go underground in the future, and there is no way to face the ancestors of my Joseon dynasty. But if he is not punished, what if the whole world is eager to follow suit? There were also many courtiers who suggested that a piece of land be allocated to him and that he be deposed in a wild land. The mourning family also thought about it, and now that I think about it, it seems that this suggestion is the best. ”
