Chapter 103: Plotting to usurp the throne
The people in black are no strangers to Li Chengzhou, and after taking a look at the face, Li Chengzhou can see that the two people who took the lead are the people in black who escaped that day.
"It seems that Lord Liu can still appoint you, but it is really a helpless move, so it will be like this."
He sneered and mocked the man in black in front of him.
A look of anger suddenly appeared on the faces of those people, and they rushed towards him without saying a word.
Although the strength of several people is below Li Chengzhou, the number is huge.
They are also second-rate masters, all of them have unique skills, and they immediately got together with Li Chengzhou.
At this time, Li Chengzhou was besieged in the middle, looking at this group of people with fierce eyes, he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart.
When the two sides made a move, the group of people surrounded Li Chengzhou, and then started a wheel battle.
Seeing that this group of people made a very spicy and menacing move, Li Chengzhou at this moment no longer hid his clumsiness, and fought with them with all his energy.
But I never thought that I still fell into the disadvantage.
This is the outskirts of the Imperial City, and it is deserted.
There are no people around, and if you are injured at this moment, you will only be on the verge of death.
Called the sky is not working, and the earth should not be, Li Chengzhou was isolated at this time, and these people resorted to killing moves.
At the last moment, suddenly a rain of arrows hit the sky, and a team of people and horses immediately appeared behind Li Chengzhou.
"If you continue to do evil and evil here, you want to look good!"
A familiar voice came from behind him, and at this moment, Li Chengzhou seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and immediately retreated.
The group of Assassins became nervous when they saw a pair of centaurs approaching, with blades in hand.
"Hurry up and retreat!"
With a wave of his hand, the Assassins vanished, leaving only a few people impaled by sharp arrows and killed instantly.
When the assassin disappeared without a trace, Li Chengzhou immediately thanked the person in front of him.
"You're welcome, this is what the general meant, from the time you entered the city, the general expected that there would be someone who would be unfavorable to you, so he sent us to support, and the general wanted to see you."
Unexpectedly, at the moment of crisis, it was the general who had a gap before.
However, when he heard that he wanted to see him, Li Chengzhou would also think more, so he followed the man to a ten-mile long stop.
When he saw a familiar figure standing in the long pavilion, the man left in a hurry, and Li Chengzhou walked forward alone.
"I don't know if the general is looking for me here, but is there anything important to discuss?"
He knew that the general would never appear easily, and now that he appeared, he must have something important to discuss with him.
The general who turned around looked sad, and then sighed.
"Although you are no longer the King of Yongle now, after all, you have the blood of the royal family in your bones, and your Majesty is also in internal and external troubles today, so I was specially sent to explain this matter to you today."
Li Chengzhou's face showed a trace of doubt, and he heard the general talk about this matter in detail.
At the beginning, it was Li Chengzhou who elected Li Xuan to become the emperor behind his back, and on the surface, everyone couldn't see the situation of this matter, but the high-ranking and powerful ministers in the court had already speculated the truth.
Now Lord Liu believes that Li Chengzhou is the culprit who killed Li Ling, and Lord Liu has accumulated enough strength in the court for many years, and after conspiring with several other ministers, he not only wants to kill Li Chengzhou, but also wants to usurp the throne.
But now the evidence is insufficient, and it is not clear who the minister who colluded with him is, but it is known that he is also doing things for others.
"That person is suspicious of his intentions, and the reason why he cooperates with Lord Liu is just to get rid of you by the hand of Lord Liu, so that no one will help the new emperor."
After the emperor's rights are emptied, he can seek to usurp the throne, and this person can wait for many years, and even at this time he is unwilling to be exposed, which shows that this person has a deep foundation and has a vicious mind.
"He hasn't revealed his identity until now, it seems that Lord Liu should be very jealous, and at the same time, he is by no means an ordinary person in the court."
If you can gain the trust of the previous emperor and the current emperor, this person must be a loyal minister in the palace.
The general's face also showed a look of helplessness, but he didn't want to seek to usurp the throne, let alone occupy a place for himself.
"The reason why the general chose to cut off with these people, and he didn't even want to cooperate with them, is also because the military power in your hands makes them very afraid, right?"
Those people can win over Lord Liu, and naturally they can also win over the general, so the reason why he is reluctant to cooperate with these people is that he chooses to be with a deposed prince who is in danger, just to ensure his status.
Although the emperor is controlled by these people, he has the ability to decide.
Now the emperor still trusts Li Chengzhou.
"What you say is true, they did have someone secretly looking for me, but I have made it clear that I refuse, they may not really plot to usurp the throne, but their purpose is clear."
At this moment, the general hesitated, and then took out a letter from his arms.
The moment it was handed to Li Chengzhou, there was a slight hint of nervousness on his face.
After Li Chengzhou finished checking it, it became clear why the general did not join them.
This group of people has evil intentions, and if you cooperate with them, you will become pawns in the future.
After successfully plotting to usurp the throne, the general will be the first chicken to kill.
"General, don't worry, because there is no one else here, so you and I can say something heart-wrenching, and now they have exposed too many clues, I have already guessed their identity."
These people couldn't wait to kill Li Chengzhou, but they just wanted to kill all the royal heirs.
On the one hand, it can break orthodoxy, and on the other hand, it is also to better seek the dynasty and usurp the throne.
"Now there is no prime minister in the court, and the reason why that person has not shown his true face for many years is naturally suppressed by the prime minister, and the prime minister's biggest enemy in the court is naturally this person, who can not only be used as a check and balance of power, but also as a representative of loyal ministers."
With a word, the general immediately understood the identity of this person.
"What do you mean...... Could it be Chu Jianghe? ”
He couldn't believe it, although Chu Jianghe was arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, he would never easily do such a rebellious thing.
And the reason why he was able to rise to prominence and even become the prime minister's biggest opponent was because he blocked the fatal blow for the first emperor back then.
"I'm afraid that Chu Jianghe is not the only one in the court who has this idea, since he is planning everything behind the scenes, there should be a group of people who respond to his plan to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne in the future."
This group of people met with the wind and the rudder, and chose the strongest to submit, just to have a place in the court.
After listening to Li Chengzhou's analysis, the general thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case.
Chu Jianghe is equivalent to controlling the civil servants in the court, and the general is the representative of the military generals.
