Chapter 96: Breaking the Cup
"Lord Li Ming."
"Sit down next to your father."
"Be careful."
Before Dong Zhiqiang entered the main hall, he deliberately pulled Zhongcheng Li Ming aside and attached his ear.
Hearing this, Li Ming's pupils shrank, and he said in disbelief, "Zhiqiang, but King Yan wants to rebel?" ”
Li Ming is an old minister in the fiefdom.
I also know that the relationship between the princes of the world and the imperial court has been tense recently.
He also expected that there would be princes who would turn against him.
In addition, in recent days, King Yan's behavior has been very abnormal, and he has mentioned the matter of the court's reduction of the feudal domain several times at the court meeting, and expressed his unusual dissatisfaction with the court.
Therefore, Li Ming thought of this for the first time.
"Not bad." Dong Zhiqiang whispered, "Please also sit with your father, so that you can deal with the next changes." ”
"I see." Li Ming nodded and said worriedly, "Zhiqiang, are you sure?" ”
Although Dong Zhiqiang has 10,000 horses in his hands.
But they are all in charge of the defense of the city.
In the palace of King Yan, they are all the Praetorian Guards of King Yan.
In case King Yan ambushed the sword and axemen, Li Ming was worried that it would be difficult for them to retreat with their whole body.
"Don't worry."
"My brother-in-law doesn't have the courage to dare to burn jade."
"If he has the courage, why should he put on this grand feast?"
Dong Zhiqiang knows his brother-in-law too well and is not worried at all.
"Okay."
After Li Ming took a deep breath, he adjusted his mentality and entered the banquet hall with Dong Zhiqiang.
After the public officials took their seats.
King Yan said some polite words.
It's nothing more than that I haven't hosted a banquet for a long time, and I don't talk about political affairs today, but I just eat, drink, relax, and relax...
The servants in the palace served plates of food and wine, and then sang and danced, and King Yan was full of smiles and exchanged glasses with all the courtiers.
Not for a while.
Everyone was a little drunk.
The courtiers in the hall talked happily with each other in twos and threes, not noticing the faint sound of footsteps on both sides of the hall.
It was the axe-bearer who had come to get ready to do it.
King Yan glanced at Xing Jiarong, who was sitting not far from him, and prepared to smash the cup, letting the knife and axe hand control Li Mingdang and Dong Zhiqiang.
See this scene.
Dong Liang narrowed his eyes.
Dong Zhiqiang slowly touched the dagger on his waist.
Li Ming's breathing became nervous, and he knew that King Yan was about to make a move.
Sure enough, in the next moment, King Yan raised his wine glass.
"Brother-in-law."
"I toast you!"
Suddenly, Dong Zhiqiang stood up, deliberately raised the decibels, and staggered, "Brother-in-law, Zhiqiang is happy today, the people in our fiefdom live and work in peace and contentment, this is all your meritorious governance, brother-in-law..."
Dong Zhiqiang patted his ass, but made the good-faced Yan Wang hesitate for a while, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's have a drink." ”
When he saw Dong Zhiqiang staggering, he didn't take it to heart.
My brother-in-law is already drunk.
As soon as he drank the wine, he immediately threw his glass.
"Brother-in-law, how about one cup, let's toast you three cups!" Dong Zhiqiang walked towards King Yan's seat as he spoke.
Xing Jiarong stared at Dong Zhiqiang, realized that something was wrong, and immediately stood up, and threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground with a "snap".
He knows that late will change.
Dong Zhiqiang must not be allowed to get close to the king.
A crisp sound sounded, and a large number of sword and axe hands immediately rushed out from behind the curtains on both sides of the main hall, all of whom were palace guards.
"Hurry up, King!"
Xing Jiarong roared, and his keen intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong with Dong Zhiqiang.
This scene made many officials in the hall stunned.
What's the situation?
It's good, what's going on?
The next scene made the eyes of many officials widen.
I saw that before King Yan could react, Dong Zhiqiang had already changed his drunken appearance, and instantly burst out and rushed to King Yan's side.
At the same time, Dong Zhiqiang pulled out the dagger from the inner lining of his waist and directly put the dagger on the neck of King Yan.
"Don't move!"
"Otherwise, immediately send the anti-king to the Western Heavens!"
Dong Zhiqiang looked around at the sword and axe hands around him, and the sharp dagger had pierced the skin in Yan Wang's neck, and faint blood stains appeared.
"Zhiqiang, what are you doing?" Princess Dong was shocked, got up and scolded her younger brother angrily, "Why are you kidnapping your brother-in-law? ”
"Sister, I don't want to either." Dong Zhiqiang said bitterly, "You can see the situation clearly, today's banquet is the Hongmen banquet, my brother-in-law wants to lead everyone to rebel, I have to do it as a last resort..."
"This..."
The princess was also stunned, looking at the sword and axe hands around her, and seemed to understand.
"Zhiqiang, there is something to say, there is something to say..."King Yan was trembling all over, and said in a trembling voice, "You take the knife away, we have something to say." ”
"Well said?"
"I'm afraid that as soon as I take my knife away, you'll turn your face, right?"
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you don't want to serve the country, you actually think about rebellion, do you know that this is a big crime of the Nine Clans?"
Dong Zhiqiang's face was full of anger, and he taught a lesson to King Yan.
Who knows, Xing Jiarong said in a loud voice, "Dong Zhiqiang, don't be ignorant, now the court is no longer the court it used to be, and now the traitors in the court are in charge, and Wang Yuan and his ilk control the court, we should clear the monarch's side and return the world to peace..."
"Yes, Lord Xing is right, we should follow the side of the princes of the world."
"General Dong, I advise you to put down your sword, once the imperial court cuts the domain, how can we have a good life?"
"General Dong, let go of the king..."
“......。”
Xing Jiarong's henchmen spoke up one after another, accusing Dong Zhicheng.
"Which one dare me?" Li Ming stood up at this moment, pointed to the officials who had just spoken, and said, "You wolf hearts, you are the ones who provoke the king to rebel, it is a harmful move, if this matter fails, who of you here can be spared death?" ”
"Yes, we will not rebel!"
"Lord Li is right, we are waiting for the king's fortune, and we should worry about the king, and rebellion is a dead end..."
"You guards still don't stand down?"
“.....。”
“.....。”
The rest of the ministers spoke one after another, and there was a sudden uproar in the hall.
Those who are willing to rebel are only a small number after all.
Most people are still on the side of Li Ming and the Dong family's father and son.
This can be a lot of axe hands.
At the moment they are neither left nor right.
"Don't let your people step down yet?" Dong Zhiqiang put the dagger on King Yan's neck and said coldly, "If you are obsessed, we will splatter blood in five steps and burn the jade!" ”
"I..."
King Yan hesitated.
But before he could speak, Xing Jiarong said in a loud voice, "Don't be afraid, the king, this thief will definitely not dare to kill the king, the knife and axe hand will obey the order, Dong Zhiqiang will rebel against this thief, and quickly take him down!" ”
With Xing Jiarong's order, a group of sword and axe men immediately prepared to move.
King Yan was dumbfounded.
He doesn't have the courage to burn Dong Zhiqiang's jade?
He was just about to speak, but one of the guards rushed into the main hall and said in a panic, "King, a large number of troops have entered the city..."
Hearing the sound, King Yan was ecstatic.
He had already informed King Lu yesterday and asked King Lu to send someone to help him.
Perhaps, at this moment, it is King Lu's people.
