Chapter 481: Sabre Rattling
Dare to use the knife in front of the palace gate!
Everyone's eyes were attracted, and they saw Ye Yunyang holding the knife in one hand, forming a forty-five degree angle between his arm and his body, and the tip of the knife pointing to the ground.
The Han Empire had strict regulations, in the palace and near the palace gate and palace wall, only the guards of the Imperial Forest Army could wear weapons, and no one was allowed to use weapons without authorization, and those who violated the order were severely punished.
Even the Imperial Guards can only use weapons under the orders of the Emperor or when they encounter dangerous criminals.
Many people only saw Ye Yunyang snatching the guard's knife, and they didn't know what had happened.
Standing across from him was Li Fuchen, staring at him with a surprised expression.
What's going on?
Everyone speculated until they saw a "red line" on the blade, which flowed downward at a speed visible to the naked eye, converging into a single drop of blood.
Tick......
Blood drops fell on the bluestone ground with a crisp sound.
The eyes of the crowd widened, and then they saw that a "red line" also appeared on Li Fuchen's neck, and the plasma flowed out immediately.
"You...... Ahem......"
With Li Fuchen's speech, the speed of blood flow became faster, and he subconsciously reached out to cover his neck, but the blood still kept flowing out of his fingers.
The Prime Minister's throat has been cut!
Everyone was taken aback, including Huo Hong and Qin Wei, who were on the same front as Ye Yunyang.
They looked at each other with the same look of surprise on their faces.
The little junior brother does not play cards according to common sense, they are very clear about this, he and Li Fuchen are in trouble, this matter is not new, it can be said that everyone knows, but they never imagined that the little junior brother actually made a move in front of the palace gate and directly gave Li Fuchen a knife.
Puff ......
Li Fuchen knelt on the ground with his knees bent, his two hands covered his neck, blood foam spurted out from his mouth and nose together, his eyes continued to stare at Ye Yunyang, but his body fell forward uncontrollably.
He only has the level of the Gathering God Realm, plus he is defenseless, of course he is not the opponent of Ye Yunyang, a martial artist of the Tongyuan Realm.
Glancing at Li Fuchen, whose body was still in a state of spasm, Ye Yunyang said coldly: "Do you really think that no one dares to kill you, I'm sorry, Ben Hou will dare." ”
With that, he let go of the hand that was gripping the hilt of the knife.
When the ......
The steel knife fell to the ground and collided with the bluestone with a crisp sound.
It was this sound that woke up the people in a trance, and Zhang Ziping was the first to shout at the top of his voice: "Killed, Ye Yunyang killed!"
Squeak......
The palace door opened at the same time, and Ye Yunyang frowned and glanced at Zhang Ziping.
Zhang Ziping subconsciously took a few steps back and hid behind the crowd, trembling like chaff.
The people standing in front of him were also frightened, they were both Li Fuchen's henchmen, the master was killed, and it wouldn't be his turn next, right?
Ye Yunyang smiled contemptuously, turned around and strode into the palace gate.
It wasn't until he walked away that Zhang Ziping dared to shout: "Ye Yunyang has killed someone, stop him, he even dares to kill the prime minister, and he will definitely kill the king when he enters the palace......"
"Shut your stinky mouth, dare to talk nonsense again, this seat will let you go to Huangquan Road to accompany Li Fuchen!" Huo Hong appeared in front of him with an angry face.
Qin Wei also came over and said: "Ye Yunyang just killed Li Fuchen, did he say that he wanted to kill the king? ”
Zhang Ziping hurriedly shrank back in fright, and someone had the courage to say: "The two adults are wrong in what they say, Ye Yunyang openly killed the important ministers of the court in front of the palace gate, isn't there a crime, shouldn't he be blamed?"
Huo Hong sneered: "The merits are decided by His Majesty the Emperor, and it is not your turn to point fingers! You are all Li Fuchen's followers, and now that he is dead, I advise you to pray quickly, pray that the dirty things you have done with him will not be exposed, otherwise you will die without a place to be buried." ”
After speaking, he and Qin Wei turned around and walked into the palace gate.
Zhang Ziping's frightened face darkened, and the people around him were also frightened.
"No, what are we afraid of!" Someone said arrogantly: "It was Ye Yunyang who killed the people, and it was he who violated the law of the country, and his crime is unforgivable! Everyone, we should immediately enter the palace to meet Your Majesty and denounce Ye Yunyang's murderous behavior!"
"Yes, Huo Hong was obviously threatening us just now, if you want to achieve an ulterior purpose, don't be fooled!"
Zhang Ziping thought to himself, as soon as he was excited, his face turned red, and he said in a loud voice: "Everyone, we must meet the emperor before them, lest Ye Yunyang be the villain to sue first!"
"Yes, let's enter the palace together!"
These people instantly rushed into the palace gate as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
It's just that they forgot one thing, the emperor will only appear after the hundred officials have arrived, and it is useless to run fast at all, just to go to the council hall first, and the pestle is used as a pole there.
On the way, Huo Hong lowered his voice and said to Ye Yunyang: "Little junior brother, your approach is too reckless, Li Fuchen is a minister of the court, one person is above ten thousand people, I know that you have a grudge against him, but killing him requires long-term consideration." ”
Qin Wei also said: "Yes, although Li Fuchen has done a lot of unconscionable things in private, he has never appeared on the stage, and you are suspected of revenge for killing him! ”
Ye Yunyang smiled faintly and said: "It's good to go step by step, but it's also a choice to cut through the mess quickly, one more day for a person like Li Fuchen, and one more day for the people of the Han Dynasty to suffer! With the emperor's character, even if he has the evidence of Li Fuchen's crime, he will choose to let him go because of many considerations, so I will do this evil man." ”
Huo Hong wanted to speak again and again, and had to admit that Ye Yunyang knew the emperor better than him,
Liu Qi can be regarded as a promising king, but he usually considers too much balance, and some gains and losses occur, resulting in an indecisive side of his character.
It is precisely because of this that he ordered it to be activated even though he knew that Li Fuchen was full of bad deeds.
In his opinion, Li Fuchen has shortcomings, but the advantages are also obvious, that is, the ability to control the situation and the ministers, the two measure each other, and he feels that he can tolerate the shortcomings of the other party and take advantage of the advantages of the other party.
But how did he know that after Li Fuchen was reinstated, he became more and more unscrupulous, and his advantages were only played by 30%, plus a group of henchmen waved their flags and shouted, and they were stunned to do the superficial work to the fullest, so that the emperor thought that the court situation was stable, but in fact, Li Fuchen spent more than 70% of his energy on favoritism, making the imperial capital a mess.
The emperor, accompanied by the crown prince, walked out of the dormitory and went to the dragon chariot.
He clearly heard the noise over there in the Qinzheng Palace, and frowned: "What are the ministers arguing about, what kind of system is it?"
At this time, a guard hurriedly ran over, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good!"
The prince frowned and asked, "What happened, such a fuss!"
The guards replied: "Marquis Wu Yinghou killed Prime Minister Li Fuchen in front of the palace gate, and the ministers have become a mess. ”
"Huh?" The emperor was taken aback: "Ye Yunyang killed Li Fuchen, why?"
The guard shook his head and said: "I don't know the reason, I only know that Wu Yinghou snatched the guard's knife and cut Prime Minister Li Cheng's throat with one sword, and the Prime Minister was dead at the palace gate." ”
The emperor smiled bitterly: "This bastard boy, just come back to make trouble for me! What kind of person is Li Fuchen, how can he say that he will be killed, I still have to rely on him to stabilize the situation." ”
The crown prince frowned deeply, and said: "Father, the son feels that this matter is quite strange, Yun Yang has just returned from Nanban, and he has just been acquitted, it stands to reason that he should behave very low-key and very deferential, why would he disagree and then kill someone? Yun Yang and Li Fuchen have a grudge, both of them want to kill each other in private, but at least on the surface they are a harmonious group, as the old saying goes, a slap does not make a sound, can make Yun Yang angry and kill, I am afraid Li Fuchen is also responsible." ”
Obviously, this is speaking for Ye Yunyang.
There is no way, the prince is a pragmatic person, knowing that his baby daughter is with Ye Yunyang, the rice has become a cook, and of course he has to help his son-in-law when he is an old father-in-law.
It was also for this reason that when the emperor heard the news of Li Fuchen's killing, he did not show a thunderous and angry side.
Just a few minutes ago, Liu Yuying met the two of them and said that he would not marry Ye Yunyang, so they would appear to be a rat bogeyman.
The emperor's face sank like water, and he ordered: "Speed up, I will find out this matter myself." ”
"Yes!"
At the same time, the news reached Liu Yuying's ears.
The little girl didn't show too much surprise, last night in the Fenglin faction, she learned about Li Fuchen's various bad deeds, and she wanted to kill him with her own hands.
"Yun Yang is really right, why don't you take me with you. Instead, she complained about Ye Yunyang.
The crown princess smiled bitterly: "O Ying, you can't mess around with Marquis Wu Ying! The nobleman's killing of the minister is already a shocking case, and with a princess, the ministers must not make a fuss." ”
Liu Yuying snorted: "Li Fuchen deserves to die! The emperor's grandfather is really getting older and more confused, and he actually believes in this kind of person, and he is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, if it weren't for this, how could the person surnamed Li have so much courage." ”
The crown princess hurriedly glared at her: "How can you speak, the imperial grandfather loves you so much, you actually accuse him." ”
"Right is right, wrong is wrong, don't you let people say it?" the little girl argued.
The crown princess was very helpless, and there was only one thought left in her heart: the water spilled by the married daughter was spilled towards Ye Yun so quickly, and it was really an elbow turned out!
The little girl continued: "If Grandpa Huang is really wise, he should strictly deal with the Li Party and reward Yunyang for his righteous deeds. ”
In the court, the eunuch shouted in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty has arrived, and all the ministers will pay respects." ”
Zhang Ziping and the others glanced at each other, they were all ready to attack Ye Yunyang, and some even had hideous expressions on their faces.
The hundred officials saluted together and shouted loudly: "The ministers see Your Majesty, may your Majesty live long live, long live, long live!"
Emperor Liu Qi walked up to the Danqi with an expressionless face, sat down with a golden sword, and the crown prince followed closely behind, standing at the bottom left of the dragon chair.
He glanced at the ministers, the atmosphere in the hall was very tense, and the officials were obviously divided into two camps, one side was huge, and the other was weak.
Of course, Ye Yunyang is weak, except for Huo Hong and Qin Wei by his side, there are only a few people left, and they are all petty officials of low grade.
The situation is not good, and he can't help but worry about his son-in-law.
