Chapter 9: Undercurrents (8)

"Yes!" everyone shuddered in their hearts and responded in unison.

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, it has been as common for the princes to kill the king as if they were slaughtering chickens, and since they were beaten and won over by Wang Jun as a confidant, everyone has already thought of this day. Therefore, nervousness is nervousness, but no one will make a fuss. Soon, they dispersed, surrounding the palace that was originally not large, without Wang Jun's warrant, he said that he was a big living person, and even a mouse wanted to blend into the palace wall.

The guards and eunuchs in the palace have long been secretly replaced by Wang Jun and Wang Yin. Knowing that things have reached the most critical moment, the king and the defeat are in this move. Therefore, they all shook their spirits, stared at the doors and windows of Guo Wei's dormitory, lest if they were not careful, the Emperor of the Great Zhou would turn into a bat and fly away.

However, to the slight disappointment of the eunuchs and guards, the Great Zhou Emperor Guo Wei, knowing that he had become a prisoner, neither jumped into a rage, nor did he try to use the high-ranking officials to win everyone over, but lay on the bed like a resignation, and after a while, he snored.

"In the end, the Son of Heaven has fallen to such a point, and he can still sleep?!" A guard close to the dormitory heard Guo Wei's snoring and couldn't help but whisper.

"Of course, the tiger won't fall!" the other guard grinned, a little admiration in response.

"Alas, it's a pity!"

"No way, who called him stubborn. Wouldn't it be peaceful to give the crown prince to General Li earlier?"

"Alas......"

The other guards also sighed and spoke one after another, and there was no lack of regret and sympathy in their voices.

Speaking from the heart, compared with the previous emperors, Guo Wei, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, can definitely be regarded as a wise monarch. Since ascending the throne, he has been strict and frugal, light taxes and thin taxes, reuse civil servants, and strictly investigate lawlessness, and in just a few years, the city and the countryside have been rejuvenated.

"You guys eat something inside and out, don't you want to die? The only exception was the eunuch Lin Qing, who heard that someone dared to say good things for the prisoners, and immediately walked over with square steps and scolded, "He is a good emperor, a bad emperor, Guan Er and other birds? Don't forget who sent the money for you, and who provided for the food and clothing at home? If something goes wrong in this matter, not only will you and others die without a place to be buried, but the family will also be connected to the nine clans!"

"This ......" The guards were scolded like dirt, but they didn't dare to say a word to refute it. lowered his head and saluted again and again, "My lord, my lord said yes, I'll wait, I'll wait a lot!"

"If you know how to talk a lot, keep your mouth shut!" Lin Qing has been a groom for half his life, and it is rare to have an addiction to scolding. pursed his lips and continued to roar, "If you can't close it again, our family will use horse manure to plug it for you." One by one, his eyes were rounded for our family, whether the people inside really slept or faked sleep, from now on, until the next time Lord Wang came, don't let him out of your sight. ”

"Yes!" all the guards dared not speak in anger, bowed in agreement, and then stared at the doors and windows of the dormitory in a daze.

Maybe it's because of a long illness and lack of health, or maybe it's because of the natural courage and generosity, the snoring in the dormitory didn't finally stop until the fourth watch. Then after about half a pillar of incense, the door was suddenly opened from the inside, and Guo Wei, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, slowly walked out with the support of Concubine Yang.

"Your Majesty, be careful that it's cold in the middle of the night!" Lin Qing, the leader of the eunuchs, glanced at the guards proudly, and took the lead in rushing forward, blocking the way of Guo Wei and his wife.

"Your Majesty, be careful of the cold weather!" Although the guards sympathized with Guo Wei's plight in their hearts, at this moment, as Lin Qing had reminded before, their entire family's lives were tied to Wang Jun. I could only grit my teeth and step forward, forming a human wall.

"Oh, isn't it possible that I can't even go out of the dormitory? Li Chongjin, you call him here, and I ask him, what are you going to do with me?" was blocked by a group of people, Guo Wei was neither angry nor nervous. Tilting his head and glancing at everyone, he asked with a sneer.

"This ......" The guards were speechless when asked, lowered their heads, and did not dare to look into Guo Wei's eyes.

No matter what, Guo Wei is also Li Chongjin's uncle. They can be ordered to spy on him and put him under house arrest, but they can't torture him at will. Otherwise, in case Li Chongjin ascended the throne, one day he suddenly remembered his uncle's benefits, and he might not be able to clean up Wang Jun and Wang Yin, and kill more than a dozen guards to make a appearance, but he didn't have any scruples.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why bother, why embarrass our family!" At the critical moment, it was the eunuch Lin Qing who stepped forward. Chong Guo Wei hugged his fists and admonished in a dumb voice, "Our family is just acting on orders, how to treat you, we have to listen to the orders of Wang Shumi and General Li." Even if you beat us to death now, you won't be able to change anything! It's better to go back and rest well, I can't guarantee anything else, Your Majesty and Concubine Niangniang's three meals a day will not be deducted at all!"

There is a way, obedient and obedient, Guo Wei immediately picked out the most useful thing from Lin Qing's exhortation. He smiled again, shook his head and asked, "Oh, then, if I don't listen to you, you don't plan to feed me?"

"Slaves and maids don't dare, but sometimes the manpower can't be arranged, and it's inevitable that there will be a delay in the imperial dining room for a while!" Lin Qing took half a step back, smiling fiercely.

"I really don't believe in this evil!" Guo Wei raised his hand violently and slapped the eunuch Lin Qing hard. The man was pumped out of the air, blood spurting from his nostrils and mouth. "Get out, the old man has been running all his life, and I'm still afraid of your eggless guy!

After that, he pushed away the wall of people in front of him, took Yang Shufei, and strode forward. Gray hair, like a battle flag, fluttered up and down in the wind.

"Stop, stop him!" the eunuch Lin Qing rolled over, got up from the ground, and ordered loudly. "Stop him, or you'll all die!"

"Yes!" the guards rushed up, trying to block Guo Wei with their bodies and arms. It's just that they underestimated the combat effectiveness of this Son of Heaven too much, and in the blink of an eye, they were punched and kicked by Guo Wei and knocked to the ground one by one

"Your Majesty, stop, Your Majesty, ahh——!hh was turned around by Guo Wei and kicked out half a foot away. Lying on the ground, rolling back and forth in pain.

The rest of the guards didn't dare to delay any longer, so they also got up and rushed forward one after another to tear up Guo Wei. However, Guo Wei, who had raised the spirit of the middle of the night, was like a mad tiger, punching and kicking, rushing left and right, and in less than a few breaths, he killed everyone and surrounded him, took Yang Shufei, and strode towards the imperial garden.

"Come on, come on, the emperor, the emperor is going to run!" The eunuch Lin Qing saw that the situation was not good, tore his throat, and shouted for help from all around.

More than a dozen more guards rushed in, trying to block Guo Wei's way. However, in the face of this group of strong men who were thirty years younger than him, Da Zhou Tianzi was fearless. Pulling Yang Shufei with one hand, clenching into a fist with the other, and beating around, "A group of wastes, also come to stop the old man?

Without the orders of Wang Jun and the others, how could the eunuchs and guards have the courage to face him with a white sword? Not only did they not dare to draw their swords, but they even had to spare some strength with their bare hands. I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will beat him out of internal injuries and delay the major event of re-canonizing the prince!

Guo Wei is a veteran of the rest of his life, even if the tiger falls to Pingyang, it will not be the turn of a group of lackeys to bully! Taking advantage of the fact that there are no more guards to block his opportunity, he fights and walks, and rushes into the imperial garden with Yang Shufei in three steps and two steps.

"Come on, come on, come on, come and help, don't, let go of the emperor, we all have to die!" The eunuch Lin Qing got up from the ground for the third time and shouted at the throat of the male duck.

More guards and eunuchs rushed into the Imperial Garden, approaching Guo Wei from all directions. In the face of the flow of people, Da Zhou Tianzi looked up to the sky and laughed wildly. As soon as he turned around, he pushed open the door of the library and pulled Yang Shufei to stride upstairs.

This move not only surprised the guards who came to help intercept him. Lin Qing, the leader of the eunuchs, was also confused. Stopped screaming hoarsely, widened his eyes, and muttered to himself, "No, didn't run?

"You waste!" Wang De, the commander of the army in front of the palace, rushed forward and kicked him out of the distance. "I can't even look at a sixty-year-old man, I don't care for you. Come on, block the door of the library pavilion, no one is allowed to enter without an order!"

"Yes!" a large group of guards and eunuchs with blue noses and swollen faces rushed up, brought tables and chairs from the nearby palace, and blocked the door of the library pavilion tightly.

"Toss, continue to toss, Lao Tzu see what tricks you can still toss!" was woken up in the middle of the night when he was sleeping soundly with the palace maid in his arms, Wang De's stomach was full of evil fire. Staring at the window on the fourth floor of the library that was gradually getting brighter, he laughed loudly.

He is Wang Jun's own nephew, and he will not have Guo Wei in his eyes, let alone care about Li Chongjin's revenge on him in the future. The only thing I care about is to completely isolate the inside and outside of the palace, and not let anyone and news enter or leave.

And using the library pavilion as a prison to imprison Guo Wei is more effective than the dormitory. There is a gate in the front and back of the dormitory, and several palaces are connected nearby. Once Guo Wei and the others hid the cat and wanted to find him out, they had to waste a lot of strength. However, the library pavilion is located alone in the depths of the imperial garden, and there is no palace connected to it at all, and there is only one door to enter and exit.

Just when he thought he had arranged it properly, he was going to go back and continue to sleep for the rest of his soul. In his ears, he suddenly heard the hoarse shout of the eunuch Lin Qing: "It's not good, hurry, go upstairs." On the fourth floor, there are eight treasure glazed lamps from Cangzhou on the fourth floor. As long as you light the wick inside, you can see half of the beam!"

"Ahh However, where is the time?

I saw that the windows on the fourth floor of the Library Pavilion, one after another, were pushed open by Guo Wei from the inside. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and white, eight lights, alternately coming out, breaking through the endless darkness before dawn. The white walls of the blue tiles within a radius of hundreds of steps around the palace are illuminated in five colors and gorgeous.
