Li Lianting's martial arts are very high, about the same as Ning Zongwu in his heyday.

However, the martial arts of the silver-robed adjudicator of the Northern Darkness Sword Sect were also super strong, plus an equally powerful Li Daozhen.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for the old ancestor Li Lianting to win against two great masters with one enemy and two against two great masters.

And this kind of battle between the top masters is basically a move to determine the winner or loser, and a move to determine life and death!

Everything happens fast!

There is no time to hesitate, no time to weigh, only instinct.

"This Li Lianting is Du Lang's godfather......"

And then!

Li Daozhen's instinct was to stab the silver-robed adjudicator with a sharp sword.

At the same time, Li Lianting's shocking knife also slashed towards the silver-robed adjudicator.

Li Lianting threw all his strength into the blow, all on the silver-robed adjudicator.

Because he knew that it was impossible to attack two great masters at the same time, even if he died, he would have to pull one to accompany him. The reason why the silver-robed adjudicator was pulled, instead of pulling Li Daozhen to accompany the funeral, was not because she was beautiful, but because she was young.

Older people instinctively feel pity for the young geniuses, even if they are enemies.

So......

Li Lianting's earth-shattering sword, Li Daozhen's earth-shattering sword, stabbed the silver-robed adjudicator back and forth.

The silver-robed adjudicator's move was stabbed by Li Daozhen before it could be released, and he didn't have any defense.

"Holy, what's ......," said the silver-robed adjudicator.

"Boom ......"

Then, his body exploded violently, completely shattering his bones, leaving not even a whole piece behind.

Because, the two Great Grandmaster-level internal forces and Xuan Qi collided in his body, causing a terrifying explosion.

Li Lianting was also completely stunned!

What's going on?

He raised his head and looked at the young woman in front of him who was so beautiful that people couldn't open their eyes, as if he was a little familiar.

This should be someone from the Northern Underworld Sword Sect, and the silver-robed adjudicator came to kill him Li Lianting, why did she suddenly turn against the water at the critical moment, and instead killed the silver-robed adjudicator? Doesn't she know that this is the biggest betrayal of the Northern Hell Sword Sect, and it will have great consequences the day after tomorrow?

In fact, Li Daozhen himself was also staring at the pool of blood on the ground in a daze.

After learning that the person she wanted to kill was Du Bian's godfather, of course she wouldn't make a move. But if she was given an extra second to think, she might not be able to do anything to the silver-robed adjudicator, she really didn't think about betraying the Northern Underworld Sword Sect.

Because, the wife of the Northern Stygian Sword Sect is too powerful.

Once he betrays the Northern Stygian Sword Sect, he is almost completely certain to die.

And her current behavior is almost as bad as the Mo Qiu Female Demon, and the Northern Underworld Sword Sect will definitely go down all day to want her.

But what happened just now was so fast and so fast that I didn't have time to think about it at all, and instinctively took action.

After killing the silver-robed adjudicator, she felt a tingling in her scalp and tremble slightly.

"Girl, may I ask ......" Li Lianting didn't know how to speak for a while.

Why did this amazingly beautiful and charming woman come to his rescue?

And Li Daozhen didn't know how to explain it at all, in fact, she had seen Li Lianting before, but she had changed too much at this time, not only was she much more beautiful, but also much younger, and the time was too long, so that Li Lianting couldn't recognize her.

She really can't say that she is Li Daozhen, the reason why she came to save you is because you are the godfather of my lover Du Bian?

That, that's too shameless!

"I, I'm leaving......" Li Daozhen said, and then turned around and left.

Walking to the door, Li Daozhen suddenly said: "Ancestor, is Du Chang in Baise at this time?"

"Yes. Li Lianting replied instinctively.

Then, Li Daozhen just left.

She should be regarded as the worst traitor of the Northern Underworld Sword Sect, and she is going to run away quickly.

......

Inside the city of Baise.

A middle-aged eunuch reads the emperor's decree.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says, canonizing Du into the general soldier of Baise, the right admiral of the Li Jing Division, Qin this!"

Du Chang was stunned for a moment, and then kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

It is not surprising that he was canonized as the chief soldier of Baise, but the emperor actually canonized him as the right commander of the Li Jing Division, and Dongchang didn't even mention it.

The emperor is really running wild on the road to clear his identity as a eunuch.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged eunuch took out another holy decree and said: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and canonizes Du Cheng as the Earl of Zhenxi, Qin this!"

Hearing this holy decree, Du Bian was surprised again.

In the past year, his official position and title have risen faster than a rocket.

The emperor didn't seem to understand the reason for the slow promotion of the title, and he was directly promoted from a commoner to an earl in the past year.

Is it because the title of the Daning Empire is not valuable? Of course not, the head of the cabinet, Fang Zhuo, and the cabinet minister Du Hui, do not have half of the title so far.

Within ten years, the emperor will not be able to canonize more than three or five titles.

The emperor promoted Du Bian's official position and title for only one reason.

Du Chang needs!

When he needed a matching official position and title, the emperor canonized him without saying a word.

Only with sufficient official positions and titles could Du Bian be qualified to lead the entire southwest army against the Li clan. Otherwise, if the official position is too small, it will be difficult to even recruit soldiers.

Moreover, the canonization of him as the right governor of the Li Jing Division is even more far-sighted, and Du Yan can even see the role of this position half a year or a year later.

His Majesty the Emperor is really not like the Emperor at all.

Du Bian bowed down again and said, "Minister, thank you Lord Longen." ”

Next, the third will is for Li Wenyu.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and canonizes Li Wenyu as the deputy governor of Dongchang, Qin this!"

Li Wenyu kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

......

The capital, the first assistant Fang Zhuo's house.

"Soon, the Northern Underworld Sword Sect dispatched two great masters, and Li Lianting, the old dog, will definitely die. Fang Zhuo exhaled a long breath: "Du Chang is almost finished, for his little gelding, the Northern Underworld Sword Sect has also sent two great grandmasters!"

He and Li Lianting have been old enemies for decades!

But if you want to explain that there has been a secret struggle for decades, there is really nothing, and Li Lianting's political methods can only be regarded as average at best.

Most of the time, this old ancestor just stayed in his own mansion, leaving everything to a few righteous sons and descendants.

But Fang Zhuo had a headache for Li Lianting, and was even a little afraid.

Because this is an extremely sharp knife, and it is completely tendonous, and it does not know how to compromise and retreat at all.

In one sentence, he is silent for 364 days a year, and he does not like to show his face. But on the rest of the day, he said that if he kills your whole family, he will definitely kill your whole family, and there is no room for anything.

Don't try to buy him, let alone threaten him. 、

Either kill him, or wait for the emperor's will to stop him.

Therefore, Fang Zhuo tried to find a way to kill Li Lianting, and even did not hesitate to alarm His Royal Highness the Young Master for this.

His Royal Highness the Young Lord is really powerful, he doesn't even need to come forward himself, as long as he sends a messenger, he will let the Northern Underworld Sword Sect Elders send two great masters to kill Li Lianting.

There is no doubt that this killing is foolproof, and Li Lianting, an old thief, will definitely die.

As long as Li Lianting dies, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor and the eunuch Feng Baobao, the governor of Dongchang, will be able to hold the mad dog of Dongchang, so that the emperor's knife in the capital will be completely abolished.

Fang Jianzhi suddenly said, "Father, can you give me Li Lianting's head?"

Fang Zhuo said coldly: "What do you want his head to do?"

Fang Jiandao: "I want to visit his head at the emperor's bedside." ”

"Really?" At that moment, a cold voice sounded outside.

Then, an old man slowly walked in, it was Li Lianting, who they said would definitely die.

Fang Zhuo's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief and looked at Li Lianting in surprise.

The Northern Underworld Sword Sect has already made a move, shouldn't Li Lianting be a dead man?

And Fang Jianzhi's face turned blue in an instant, and he lost all his blood.

This is a great master, when he came in, the air around him was frozen, oppressive, and cold.

Li Lianting said lightly: "Lord Shoufu, Zhang Shizhi has confessed." ”

Shoufu Fang Zhuo's body trembled slightly.

What did you confess? Of course, he confessed to being behind the scenes of this major case of rebellion.

It's ridiculous!

This so-called major case of rebellion is completely false, because there is no conspiracy at all, and there is no secret rebellion.

People are very frankly trying to force your emperor to abdicate, so this rebellion case is an ironclad hammer.

Li Lianting said: "Your Majesty has a will, Zhang Shi's crime is extremely heinous, exterminate the whole clan, and children under the age of fifteen can live." Tomorrow will kill the head, and Lord Shoufu is specially invited to watch the ceremony. ”

Then, the ancestor Li Lianting presented an invitation.

Inviting others to see the head killer and an invitation? This should be the first time, I have to say that Li Lianting's ancestor is also imaginative.

"Tomorrow's beheading of Cabinet Minister Zhang Shizhi will be carried out in the palace, all civil and military officials, go to watch the ceremony, Lord Shoufu is the head of the hundred officials, and it is absolutely indispensable. Li Lianting said lightly: "At three o'clock in the afternoon, start the knife and ask for the beheading, don't be late for Lord Shoufu to go." ”

Then, Li Lianting left.

Because, he still has to go to the next house to deliver invitations, that is, the cabinet minister, the household department Shangshu Du Hui.

......

About an hour later, Du Hui entered the Fang Mansion again.

"I don't know why, the Northern Underworld Sword Sect missed, and Li Lianting didn't die. Fang Zhuo said: "Tomorrow, the emperor will behead Zhang Shizhi in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and Zhang Shizhi has already confessed." ”

What does this mean?

This means that as long as Zhang Shizhi confesses his name, all of them may die.

And Zhang Shizhi may confess to any name?

This is a mortal danger to civil and military officials, just as the sword of Dalmos always hangs there, but it never falls.

Tomorrow's situation, Fang Zhuo and Du Hui can think of it with their eyes closed.

If Fang did not compromise, Zhang Shizhi was beheaded.

Immediately after that, one name after another will be shouted, and one minister after another will be guillotined.

What if you don't want to die?

Of course, he knelt down in front of the emperor and shouted to the Holy Monarch, and then said that the minister was wrong, and asked His Majesty to forgive him.

Next, under the butcher's knife, these ministers will be forced to draw a line with the Fang family, and even report and expose.

When it comes to that situation, at least in the capital, the emperor will win completely, and countless ministers will definitely defect one after another in order to save their lives.

The emperor is playing the same party and fighting differences, and what he is playing is Shunchang's rebellion.

Will these civil and military ministers fight to the death with the emperor for the sake of the Fang system?

Impossible, these ministers who have enjoyed the glory and wealth are more afraid of death than one another, and even their ancestors can be sold in order to survive.

The Daning Dynasty was not without iron-clad civil servants, and there were even many of them before. But I'm sorry, these people were all driven away, and it was the Fang family who drove them away.

The iron-clad Qing official is the most annoying, don't give silver, don't want beautiful women, how can you let me corrupt you? How can I pull you onto my big ship of gold and silver?

"Tomorrow, it's a decisive battle!" Fang Zhuo sighed.

Fang Jiandao: "Father, let's break the net." ”

Fang Zhuo said: "You mean to oust the emperor from power and replace someone as the emperor?"

Fang Jianzhi acquiesced.

Fang Zhuo said: "You mean, mutiny?"

Fang Jianzhi acquiesced.

Du Hui was silent for a long time and said: "Although the soldiers and horses loyal to the emperor in the capital at this time are more than twice as many as ours, they are not as elite as ours. Once the war starts, we have a good chance of winning. ”

Fang Zhuo was silent for a long time.

The imperial palace is the home of the emperor, and the capital is also the home of the emperor, which is good.

Now near the capital, there are about 60,000 soldiers and horses loyal to the emperor, and about 30,000 troops of the Fang system.

The largest military magnate Yuan Teng had already dodged and even returned to Liaodong with an army of more than 100,000 troops.

However, once the war starts, the Fang system really may not have no chance, because his army is much more elite and can land in a steady stream.

But as long as the war starts, no matter how nice it sounds, it is also a real rebellion, and it is almost impossible to successfully occupy the magpie's nest.

The consequences were serious and did not fit the strategy of the sovereign.

Fang Zhuo said: "Order all the troops to be ready for battle tonight without removing their armor, swords, and arrows, and half of them are approaching the palace in a planned manner. ”

Fang Jianzhi trembled and said, "Yes." ”

Du Hui frowned and said, "Even if you want to do it, you must use the name of Qingjun." put all the charges on Li Lianting's head, and he couldn't directly rebel and kill the emperor. ”

Fang Zhuo frowned and said: "You and I don't have the right to go to war, let go of the black harrier and ask Your Highness, the time is too tight, I hope it's still too late." ”

The Black Harrier is extremely rare, and it has been carefully cultivated by overseas empires, and it will never be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

That same evening.

An incomparably fast black harrier flew in the southeast direction like an arrow from a string, flying extremely fast, surpassing all the birds on the modern earth, and flying at a speed of more than six hundred miles per hour.

......

"Bang ......"

The south gate of the capital suddenly opened.

Then the sound of horses' hooves tore apart the silence of the night, and an army of 10,000 people entered the capital in a mighty way.

Princess Ning Xue led a large army into Beijing.

On the streets of the capital in the dark night, one elite army after another slowly and systematically converged in the direction of the imperial palace.

There is something in the wind!

The air of the dark night in the imperial capital was so oppressive that it was impossible to breathe.

Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle between the Fang family and the emperor in the capital!

Either the party compromised, or it went to war directly, and the capital was bleeding.

Countless people in the capital once again hid in the quilt and shivered.

This is the capital, once the war starts, the lives will be ruined.

Once the war starts, there is basically no room for recovery, and it may even directly lead to the disintegration of the Daning Empire.

......

Inside the palace!

The crown prince and Princess Ning Xue knelt in front of the emperor.

"Tomorrow's situation will be very sinister, almost a big gamble!" the emperor said: "If the Fang family is unwilling to lose this struggle, it is likely to directly attack the palace, and in the name of the Qing monarch's side to punish the eunuch party." ”

The crown prince was dressed in armor and said firmly: "When that time comes, the sons and daughters will definitely fight bloody battles to protect the safety of their father." ”

Ning Xue didn't speak, but just clenched the sword in her hand, expressing her absolute will.

The emperor said: "Although we have more soldiers and horses in the capital, the fleets of the overseas empires of the Fang system are cruising in the East China Sea all the time, and once necessary, their troops can directly land in Tianjin Weiyuan. So once the war starts, our chances of winning are not very big. ”

Ning Xue's eyes turned red instantly.

The emperor wants to fight viciously with the Fang family, the military giants are all watching from the sidelines, and the army loyal to the emperor is too far away to rush back to the capital.

Therefore, if you really start a war with the Fang family tomorrow, the outcome will be very sinister.

The emperor said: "If it really comes to that time, if we really lose, the crown prince will have to compromise, and you will endure the humiliation and ascend the throne as the emperor, even if you become a puppet of the Fang family." ”

The crown prince roared: "No, never! The son will definitely live and die with his father!"

The emperor said, "This is my will!"

The prince directly bowed down and said: "The ministers there can only resist the decree, and the father wants to make the sons disloyal and unfilial, and compromise with the enemy to ascend the throne as the emperor, but the sons can't do it." What kind of endurance and humiliation, the sons can't do it. ”

The emperor's eyes suddenly turned red, and he said in a trembling voice: "If you fight to the end, you will also die, and then the people who will ascend the throne may be other members of the imperial family, which is destined to be a waste, and at that time, my Daning Empire will really die." ”

The crown prince said: "If the heavens want to let the Daning Empire perish, then let it die, my father's request, my son's ministers can't do it." ”

Suddenly, the emperor's gaze at the crown prince was full of love.

Then, he looked at Princess Ning Xue and said, "If it really comes to the day of defeat, you don't want to be martyred, you go to Baise to find Du Chang." ”

Princess Ning Xue kowtowed and said, "Erchen obeys the order!"

She didn't say anything about living and dying together, because she had already decided that once the capital was defeated, she, Li Lianting, Ning Zongwu and others, would flee to Baise City with the emperor, the crown prince, and the empress, and if necessary, even directly enter the Kingdom of Annam.

The emperor looked at his children lovingly, and said, "All good children, go to sleep! Tomorrow there will be a showdown with the Fang family, there may be a fierce battle, raise your spirits!"

Showdown? No, it's a showdown!

......

Inside the Fangzhuo Mansion!

A handsome and pale young man, dressed in a golden royal robe.

He is Yan Wang Ning Chongjun, 23 years old this year.

His fief was near the capital, and because of his frailty, Emperor Tianyun especially took pity on this nephew and let him recuperate in the capital most of the time.

The previous generation of King Yan and Emperor Tianyun had a very close relationship, but when he was less than thirty years old, this King Yan died young, so the emperor was especially fond of Ning Chongjun, and there was a time when Ning Chongjun entered the palace to see the emperor more times than the crown prince.

Now, this King Yan has been summoned into the Fang Mansion, and the meaning is self-evident.

Once the war really starts and wins, then the emperor will definitely not be able to stay. If the crown prince is willing to compromise, let him ascend the throne as emperor. The crown prince is unwilling to compromise, so he will support the Yan King in front of him to ascend the throne.

Fang Zhuo looked at this excessively handsome King Yan and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan, do you know the reason why we came to you?"

King Yan smiled: "I know, don't worry!"

......

The next day, it's dawn!

In the palace, 20,000 troops are waiting solemnly!

Outside the palace, tens of thousands of troops were densely packed around the palace.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, entered the palace in a mighty way.

"When, when, when......"

As the bell rings!

The decisive battle between the emperor and the Fang family has officially begun!

If it wins, the imperial power rises.

If you lose, the emperor will die and the new emperor will ascend the throne!
