Chapter 18: The Courage of Taikang

In the thirty-ninth year of Dakang, February 15, night.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

The strong smell of herbs filled the entire palace, and from time to time there was a slight coughing sound on the emperor's couch.

Tai Kandi is attached to the soft silk pillow, and the two big internal masters continue to convey internal force to Tai Kandi to continue his life.

Long.

Wei Yang walked in from the outside and knelt on the ground to salute: "Your Majesty, the affairs of the ministers have been arranged." ”

Emperor Taikang nodded: "That cold palace eunuch is good, what he learned seems to be Concubine Ming's soft water seven duanjin, but it's a pity that it's too indisputable, if he can assist Wu'er in the future, he will be a pillar of talent." ”

Emperor Tai Kang waved his hand to the left and right, and the two little eunuchs brought two cups of poisonous wine.

"There are two cups of poisoned wine, one for Queen Qi and one for the Queen Mother, do you dare to do it?" Tai Kandi asked indifferently.

Give poisoned wine to the queen and the queen mother?

As soon as the holy word came out, the eunuchs in the temple were shocked.

However, Wei Yang took the poisonous wine steadily: "The minister will live up to the grace of the saint." ”

Holding the poisonous wine, Wei Yang led a group of eunuchs and eunuchs to Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was seriously ill for four years, and Concubine Qi has been taking care of Cining Palace after being sealed.

The half-withered and half-glorious old eunuch walked out of nowhere, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Emperor Taikang, and sighed: "Why bother with this, the queen mother can't last a few years, and killing her mother with her son is a big rebellion." And if the crown prince knows about Empress Qi in the future, he will have a grudge against the saint. ”

Tai Kandi smiled: "I am a dying person, so what's the matter if I carry all my sins together." I have been in the harem for a long time, the prince will understand my intentions, and I want to leave the prince with an unhindered country! ”

"Hey." The old eunuch still sighed.

Emperor Taikang couldn't help asking: "Master Rongku, there are really immortals in this world, if an immortal makes a move, it may be able to save my remnants, and I don't need to do the way of sin." ”

The old eunuch only said: "Don't say, don't know, don't be delusional, I can't exhaust my life's martial arts, not to mention the ethereal immortal road." ”

Tai Kandi listened and fell silent.

The Heart Cultivation Hall was also quiet.

On this night, a meteor fell in the north of the capital, and Si Tianjian said: A disaster star will fall from the sky, and the country will be in turmoil.

Early in the morning, there was news from the palace-

The queen and the queen mother both died suddenly in Cining Palace last night.

When Emperor Taikang heard this, he was grief-stricken, lamented unfilial piety, vomited blood and fainted.

Concubine Min Shufei acted on behalf of the queen and urgently recruited the prince to return to the north.

At noon the next day, Lu Xiang led hundreds of officials into the palace to face the saint, and in the afternoon of the same day, the news that Emperor Taikang was about to die within three days spread wildly in the capital.

The Imperial Forest Army took over the defense of the capital, and the capital was under martial law.

In the evening of the next day, Concubine Lu died suddenly in the cold palace.

Then there was news that there were traitors in the imperial city, the queen mother, the queen, and Lu Guifei were all victimized by traitors, and even Emperor Taikang was held hostage by traitors, and the traitors wanted to use Emperor Taikang's death to set up a new emperor, and the situation in the capital became more and more turbulent.

……

In the thirty-ninth year of Dakang, February 17, night.

sub-hours.

Bang.

There was a loud bang at the noon gate of the palace, and the palace gate collapsed.

Then there was a uniform slogan from all over the capital: "The traitor will kill the king tonight, Lu Xiang holds the secret edict of the saint, and enters the palace to Qin Wang!" ”

"Lu Xiang holds the secret edict of the saint and enters the palace to serve as the king!"

A large number of troops poured through the streets, heading straight for the noon gate.

The battle began in an instant, all over the capital.

The Imperial Forest Army, the Jinyi Guard, the East Factory, the Soldiers and Horses, the City Guards, and the Forbidden Army all moved.

There are also a large number of martial arts masters, flying eaves and walls, doing the way of robbery, and secretly making profits.

Sometimes.

The slogan also came from the direction of the palace: "There is a decree in the saint, Lu Xiang conspires against him, and he does not rebel, and the saint calls on all martial arts masters to enter the palace and work for the king, behead the rebel of Lu, and seal the king with a different surname!" ”

"There is a decree in the saint, Lu Xiang is rebelling!"

When some martial arts masters heard this, they erupted in an astonishing aura and flocked to the palace one after another.

Outside the capital, Li Qing was at a high point, leisurely looking at the fire-filled capital, and Daniel Zhang was also on the side.

After Li Qing left the palace, he did not stop in the capital, but took Daniel Zhang and Wang Li's son and his family to live in seclusion in a village near Luobai Mountain.

Sister Wei Yang was buried in Luobai Mountain, and the nameless grave Li Qing had been found.

"Little Lizi, can the saint win tonight?" Fifty-seven-year-old Daniel Zhang already looks like an old dragon clock.

"Let's take a look."

Li Qing didn't answer, his heart was quite uneasy at the moment.

In this dark night, he sensed too many martial arts masters, and there were many of them who had reached the top of the eight veins.

But these top masters, in front of the military formation, were easily shot.

The two armies are facing each other, and the role of a single top master is limited.

This world is too dangerous, and the top of the two veins still has to be closed.

The top of martial arts, after all, is a mortal power, Li Qing self-policed: If you don't enter the congenital, you will never enter the rivers and lakes!

Li Qing looked at Wei Yang from afar, Wei Yang's team of men and horses was too conspicuous, about two hundred, all of them were purple clothes and white hair, they came out of the noon gate, directly killed Lu Xiang's rebel army, and killed all the way to Lu Xiang's mansion.

But a group of white-clothed and white-haired people also poured out of Lu Xiangfu, killing Wei Yang and others.

White Lotus Sect!

It was a dead soldier of the White Lotus Sect, who had also practiced the Twelve Golden Needles and Acupoint Dafa, helping Lu Xiang.

After the White Lotus Dead appeared, a large number of White Lotus Sect masters poured out from all over the country to kill the palace.

The situation began to be one-sided.

Li Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered, "Tonight, Lu Xiang won." ”

"How could it be ......" Daniel Zhang panicked, he was born as a eunuch and naturally supported Emperor Taikang, "The Holy Lord took the initiative to force Lu Xiang to rebel, how could he be defeated." ”

"What I'm talking about is that Lu Xiang won tonight, and it is not yet known who will win or lose in the end." Li Qing replied thoughtfully.

From the perspective of a bystander, looking at the turmoil in the capital overnight, Li Qing has realized and gradually understood the true intention of Emperor Taikang.

As the saying goes, if you don't break it, you don't stand it, and then you stand after it's broken.

In the thirty-nine years of the Taikang Dynasty, Emperor Taikang has only been in power for seven years, and the court has long been corrupted by various forces.

Emperor Taikang wanted to take advantage of this night of rebellion to drag out all the dark forces, put them in the open, and then wipe them all out to reduce the burden on the prince.

Li Qing also guessed that the queen mother and the empress were both given to death by Emperor Taikang, and Emperor Taikang wanted to pave the way for the prince and leave a clean imperial dynasty.

Let's be honest.

Li Qing has a trace of respect for Emperor Taikang at this moment.

Tai Kangdi was cowardly all his life, and before he died, he finally took a brave hand.

Brave once, or create a different dynasty of the next generation.

"Is there a chance for the Holy One?" Daniel Zhang asked in surprise, "The saint is pretending to be sick?" Or have they quietly transferred troops from all over the country to besiege the capital? ”

"It must be! There is an innate grandmaster in the palace, as long as the innate grandmaster takes the saint away from the imperial city in advance, and waits for the arrival of the Qinwang army from all over the country, Lu Xiang will not be a climate! Daniel Zhang was overjoyed.

"You're making Lu quite stupid."

"If you really say that, how can Lu Xiang rebel?"

Li Qing shook his head: "Lu Xiang is the opposite, then the saint must have died in the sky." ”

"What about the turnaround?" Daniel Zhang asked.

"I don't know, the Holy One will definitely leave a back hand, just look at tomorrow's court meeting, we will hear the news is ......"

The fighting in the capital continued, and it was not until three o'clock that it gradually calmed down.

Blood stained the capital, and corpses were all over the royal road.

Whewβ€”

The bell of the court meeting rang, and the officials of the official residence went out uneasily and headed for the palace.

Li Qing did not enter the city, and continued to live in a small village outside the city, and when the turmoil subsided, he had already used silver taels to entrust the Huwei Dart Bureau in the capital to help Wei Yang collect the body.

At that time, the Huwei Dart Bureau will send Wei Yang's body over.

At this time, the capital was in chaos, and Li Qing personally entered the city to collect the corpse, which was too dangerous.

By noon, the final news finally came from the capital.

There are eunuchs from Dongchang and Prime Minister Lu to spread the Quartet:

"Lu Xiang conspired against him, and he was ambushed at the moment of Yu Chen!"

"Lu Xiang conspired against him, and he was ambushed at the moment of Yu Chen!"
