Chapter Seventy-Six: Breaking Through
There are a total of four city gates in Taiyuan Mansion, and Li Cunmiao is called the East Gate at this time, and the guard guarding this gate is Li Cunmiao's henchman Xue Bao, but all yesterday, he was replaced by Li Cunhao's henchman Cui Jin.
Not only the east gate, but also the guards of the four city gates have all changed.
Cui Jin was taken aback the moment he saw Li Cunmiao, and said in his heart, why did Li Cunmiao come so quickly? Seeing that Li Cunqiao's entourage was only so many people, he was relieved again.
Li Cunmiao under the city was impatient and shouted again: "Who is stationed here?" I'm Li Cunqiao, quickly put down the drawbridge and open the city gate, I want to enter the city! ”
Cui Jin summoned his henchmen and ordered: "Go and report to the emperor, Li Cunqiao is back, and there are only two hundred followers." ”
After the henchmen left, Cui Jin poked his head out unhurriedly, and said to Li Cunqiao under the city: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the prince, the last general Cui Jin is polite, the court has an order, the city gate can only be opened at the time of the hour, His Royal Highness the prince, please wait, there is less than half an hour before the prince can enter the city." ”
Li Cunmiao knew Cui Jin, but he was not familiar with it, so he asked, "Why are you?" Where is Xue Bao? ”
Cui Jinpi smiled and said: "General Xue has another important use, but now it is the last general who guards the east gate, and the last general does not dare to violate the imperial decree, and please don't be surprised, when the time comes, the last general will open the city gate." ”
Li Cunmiao was furious and shouted: "Hugh is noisy, open the city gate quickly, otherwise, I will take you today to pay tribute to the spirit of my father in the sky!" ”
Li Cunmiao's murderous appearance startled Cui Jin, and said secretly, Li Cunmiao really received the news, but he pretended to be embarrassed on the surface: "Don't embarrass the last general, open the door at the time of the hour, that is the rule of the first emperor, there is no holy decree, and the last general will be difficult to obey!" ”
Open the door at the time of the hour, that's just a normal situation, Li Cunqiao has entered the city in the middle of the night, who dares to stop him? Cui Jin was obviously embarrassed by Li Cunmiao, Chen Qiuming smiled faintly and said, "Don't be annoyed, Yazi, and watch Senior Brother get angry for you!" ”
After saying that, Chen Qiuming directly dodged, appeared on the city tower, and directly picked up the stunned Cui Jin with one hand, and then threw it casually under the city, only to hear the sound of "bang", Cui Jin was like a dead dog, thrown under Li Cunmiao's horse.
This method is terrifying!
Both the city tower and the city were stunned, and Chen Qiuming asked lazily, "Who is the deputy general?" Opening the gates, I don't want to repeat it a second time. ”
One of the people next to him immediately panicked and said, "The last general is." ”
Then he immediately shouted: "Lower the drawbridge, open the city gates, quick!" Fast! ”
Although Cui Jin is not a grandmaster, he also has the strength of a first-class master, so high was only shocked by Chen Qiuming's throw, and he felt a little dizzy, and when he looked up, he happened to see Li Cunmiao draw his sword, and he was immediately frightened, and directly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The son of the world spares his life." The son spares his life. The last general has no eyes, angered the son, and asked the son to forgive his sins! ”
Li Cunmiao knew that this person was obviously Li Cunhao's person, how could he spare him, and directly cut off Cui Jin's head with a sword, and then looked at the slowly lowered drawbridge and shouted: "Everyone listens to the order, go back to the house first, and then 'dark net' to protect my family, and the wolf rider follows me into the palace." ”
At this time, the dark web, because of the eighteen disciples of the Heaven Pavilion, is very strong, and it is more than enough to protect Li Cunmiao's family in a short period of time, as for his own safety, with Chen Qiuming here, how can Li Cunmiao be worried?
On the other hand, Li Cunhao, who was guarding the spirit in the palace, was also surprised to receive the news of Li Cunmiao's return, Li Cunmiao reacted so quickly and returned to Taiyuan so decisively He did not expect it, what made him a little relieved was that Li Cunmiao did not have many entourages around him, in addition, after these few days of arrangement and planning, among the real power figures in the Jin Kingdom, there were already many people on his side.
After all, he holds the "Emperor's Edict"!
As soon as he reported the matter to several henchmen and arranged some means, Li Cunmiao had already taken Chen Qiuming and more than 100 wolves to the gate of the palace.
The palace of the Jin Kingdom, said to be the imperial palace, is just the former Jin Palace, and even after Li Keyong officially ascended the throne, he did not expand it, but compared to the general mansion, it is still much larger.
The guard guarding the main gate is also Sima Luoxiao, who has just taken office in front of the palace, he has just received an order from Li Cunhao that only Li Cunqiao is allowed to enter the palace alone, and the rest of his entourage is all blocked outside the palace.
Li Cunmiao glared at him when he saw another person blocking him: "I am Li Cunmiao, who dares to stop me?" ”
Except for Luo Xiao, all of these forbidden troops in front of the palace were shocked, and they all bowed their heads and bowed to make way unconsciously. Because of the rush of time, Li Cunhao didn't have time to replace the forbidden army with his own people, but only had time to change the commander, these forbidden troops used to be the family members and generals of the Jin Wangfu, how could they stop Li Cunxuan?
Seeing this, Luo Xiao was in a hurry, drew his sword and personally stopped in front of Li Cunqiao and said: "There is an order from the saint, the prince will take off his armor and enter the palace alone, and all his entourage will stay outside the palace, otherwise he will be punished for conspiracy against him!" ”
Li Cunmiao sneered, and before he could speak, Chen Qiuming had already slapped Luo Xiao into a pulp with one palm, and Li Cunmiao took the opportunity to ask decisively: "Li Cunhao plotted to kill his father and the emperor and usurp the throne, Li Cheng and Ge Zhi, are you two willing to be loyal to me?" ”
Li Cheng and Ge Zhi are the deputy commanders of the forbidden army in front of the palace, and they are also the old men of the Jin Palace, and when they heard this, they immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general swears allegiance to the prince." ”
Li Cunmiao immediately ordered: "Li Cheng, I now order you to be the commander of the forbidden army, Ge Zhi and Jiang Qi as the deputy commanders, command all the forbidden troops and wolf horses, and quickly take over the back door and side door." ”
Jiang Qi was the commander of the wolf rider, and when he heard this, all three of them knelt on the ground to receive their orders. Li Cunqiao asked again: "Li Cheng, where is the coffin of my father, and who are the people who guard the spirit?" ”
Li Cheng replied: "Son, the emperor's coffin is in the Qinde Palace, and the guards are Li Cunhao, the emperor's uncle Li Kening, as well as the royal highnesses in Beijing, and the civil and military ministers above the fifth grade, all of whom are guarding the spirits in the hall. ”
Li Ke used his life, one accepted more than 20 names, got rid of those who died in battle, and executed for crimes, there are still fifteen still alive, most of them are military generals with military power, Li Cunqiao now does not know who murdered his father, and it is not clear which people are in Beijing, but judging by the vested interests, the primary suspect must be Li Cunhao.
Li Cunmiao continued to order according to the strategy discussed with Chen Qiuming before: "The three of you will guard the three gates, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave without my order, and if there is any disobedience, they will all be killed." ”
After speaking, he took Chen Qiuming straight to the Qinde Palace.
At the steps of His Royal Highness Qinde, the two encountered someone blocking them again, this time wearing the same black armor, which was actually Li Cunhao's private soldier "Black Armor Army".
The "Black Armor Army" is similar to Li Cunmiao's "wolf horse", there are not many people, but they are very elite, these people only have Li Cunhao in their eyes, but regardless of Li Cunmiao's identity, they stopped in front of him murderously and said: "The emperor has an order that only the prince is allowed to enter, if there is disobedience, there will be no forgiveness!" ”
When it comes to this, where would Chen Qiuming be polite, and said to Li Cunmiao: "I'll open the way for you!" ”
Then the Leyi sword was directly unsheathed, and the crazy killing mode was opened, and even Li Cunmiao pulled out the sword and took the initiative to find the fish that slipped through the net under Chen Qiuming's sword to attack, this way has been suppressed for so long, Li Cunmiao also needs to vent.
After a few breaths, the steps less than ten meters were covered with corpses, and everyone in the Qinde Hall heard the shouts and killings outside, and all went out of the hall to investigate, Li Cunhao pointed at Li Cunqiao with a trembling finger and said: "Li Cunxuan, do you want to rebel?" ”
Li Cunmiao was dressed in filial piety clothes, carrying a sword that was still dripping blood, and sneered: "Rebellion? Li Cunhao? Do you still have the face to say that I rebelled? My father was at the height of the Spring and Autumn Period, why did he suddenly die? With a forged edict, you are going to take away the foundation of my Li family, you are simply wishful thinking! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed color!
This matter itself is strange, but Li Cunhao has a "testament" in hand, and Li Kening supports it, so other civil and military ministers of the Jin State only dare to speculate secretly, but now that the main master is back, he also made this matter clear to his face, and many people are staring at Li Cunhao, wanting him to give an explanation!
Li Cunhao trembled and pointed at Li Cunmiao, with a little panic in his voice: "Li Cunmiao, don't spew blood, when the emperor died, the emperor's uncle, Li Cunshi, Concubine Yuan and the imperial doctor were all there, and the emperor personally asked the imperial uncle to draw up an edict to pass on the throne to me, so many people are here, how dare you slander me?" ”
Hearing this, Li Cunmiao stared at his own uncle Li Kening and asked, "Uncle Huang, what he said is the truth?" ”
Li Kening looked at Li Cunmiao, and said with a serious expression: "Yazi, what he said is true!" ”
There was an uproar, and there was an uproar, Li Kening was highly respected in the Jin Kingdom, although it was a little unbelievable, but no one suspected that he would lie, even Li Cunmiao staggered back two steps when he heard this, his face was pale, and he was a little at a loss.
At this time, a sneer broke the silence in the field, and when everyone looked at Chen Qiuming, Chen Qiuming said with a comfortable expression: "Ridiculous! ”
"A grandmaster suddenly became seriously ill for no reason, and suddenly died in less than a few hours, not only that, but also passed the throne to an outsider? Do you believe this? It's a ridiculous joke! Maybe people all over the world will laugh when they hear about it. ”
Li Kening reprimanded with a dark face: "Who are you, and what qualifications do you have to talk nonsense and confuse people's hearts here?" ”
Chen Qiuming smiled faintly and said: "Under Chen Qiuming, I was entrusted by the emperor to assist Yazi in achieving hegemony, do you think I am qualified?" ”
"Uproar", there was another uproar, people tree names, set up shadows, although everyone present has basically never seen Chen Qiuming, but who doesn't know the prestige of the "evil king"? In fact, most people have guessed, and now when they hear what Chen Qiuming said in person, they secretly say in their hearts, it is really him.
Li Kening pointed at Chen Qiuming and said: "It turned out to be the famous 'evil king', this is the state affairs of my Jin Kingdom, and it is also the family affairs of my Li family, you are an outsider, don't meddle in your affairs." ”
