Chapter 41: The Death of the King

The bad news brought by Si Qinmi shattered everything, Li Ruxi's expression changed dramatically, and Zhuang Xun's heart was also clenched.

"The concubine wants to go back......" Li Ruxi said reflexively when she heard the news from Si Qinmi.

"This." Zhuang Xun suddenly hesitated.

"Calm down, calm down, I've already reminded my father-in-law of him, my father-in-law should have a countermeasure, don't be impulsive!" Zhuang Xun grabbed Li Ruxi's wrist.

"......" Li Ruxi was a little quiet, she pursed her lips, and her apricot eyes couldn't help but show worry.

"Sister, don't be impulsive for the time being, listen to Lang Jun, and see the situation." Siqin Mi also came over to dissuade him.

"Let's go to the hall and wait, it's not suitable here." Siqin Mi took Li Ruxi's hand like Zhuang Xun.

"Well......" Li Ruxi could only agree first, but she was worried.

"Report, General Nancheng led the defenders of the South Gate to rescue the Li family, and the two sides confronted each other in the street." The messenger came in, and when she heard the news, Li Ruxi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's just say that the father-in-law has an arrangement, and you are relieved." Zhuang Xun said comfortingly.

The only remaining good news is followed by endless bad news.

"Report, the south gate of Jidu was seized by the palace guards."

"Report, the Ximen defenders and the internal guards have fought, and the victory is currently undecided."

"Report, the defenders of the East Gate and the palace guards have fought, and the victory is currently undecided."

“……”

"The guards want to control the city gates, are they guarding against the forbidden army? Is the news that the Li family will mobilize the forbidden army into the city already known? Siqin Mi sighed lightly, the attack and defense of the four city gates made the faces of the people ugly.

Needless to say, the north gate was the location of the imperial palace, which should have been controlled by the internal guards for a long time.

"The city of Jidu is high, the forbidden army can't attack it for a while, daddy, mother ......" This series of news, Li Ruxi also panicked.

"Report, the defenders of the south gate outside the Lifu and the palace guards are fighting."

"This ......" fought in the most critical place, and it became a mess.

The approach of the internal guard is very clear, control the four gates, do not allow the forbidden army to enter the city, and strangle the Li family with all their might, as long as Li Pingyuan is dead, the Li family's prestige to the forbidden army will be gone, and the prestige of the royal family will prevail.

The strategy of the Li family, sticking to it, waiting for the forbidden army belonging to their own faction to attack the city, at least four gates were charged, and it seemed that the city was going to be attacked.

As soon as he heard that the South Gate Army and the internal guards were fighting, Li Ruxi burst out with great strength, and Zhuang Xun was even tripped over.

"Persuade her, don't forget the proverbs." Siqin Mi picked up Zhuang Xun, who had stumbled, and knew that Li Ruxi was concerned about it now, so she told Zhuang Xun.

"I'm sorry, husband, the concubine lost her temper." Li Ruji also paid attention to her brute strength, her face was ashamed, and then she was covered with sadness.

These news are known to the Li family, who are surrounded by water.

Li Pingyuan put down the conch in his hand, his expression was calm, for a general of his level, these things were not enough to move him.

He was still thinking about what King Qinghe was going to do.

50,000 people were transferred from the western border through General Zhenxi's debriefing, and they wanted to compete for the throne? So let yourself not stop him.

It is estimated that he also knows that the city is in his own hands, and wants to let him into the city himself?

After all, he is a human, not an immortal, and this time he is also confused.

The joyful celebration became solemn, and Li Pingyuan's seriousness was shown on his face.

"Husband, can you win this battle?" Zhu brought a cup of tea to Li Pingyuan, with a sad face, and the mother and daughter were in a similar mood at the moment.

"If you can win, the forbidden army outside the city will listen to me, and those who don't listen to me will only wait and see, Chengzhi has also gone to the camp with my seal, and the forbidden army is dispatched, and the siege is fast, fast." The son is out of the city, the daughter has married outside, and there are no regrets, it is just right to be the bait by herself.

"This emperor is also ruthless, our family has worked hard for his Dou family, and he has won a big victory, at this time to unload the mill and kill the donkey, he really doesn't want to be a man, pity my daughter." Zhu resented and said that he was worried about his daughter in the deep palace.

"We're fine, she's fine, unless something happens to the emperor, otherwise we won't hurt her easily, at least until we are taken." At this point, Li Pingyuan confidently said that no matter how stupid the emperor is, it is impossible to hold a celebration banquet in advance, as long as he quells the rebellion of the prime minister.

"Hopefully, my poor son." Zhu couldn't help but cry and said.

"Okay, okay, this time we must make the Dou family pay a little price." Li Pingyuan could only comfort his wife and say.

Perhaps he didn't expect that the price paid by King Cheng was even greater than he imagined.

In the face of the soldiers who met each other, the emperor still read the Taoist scriptures leisurely, thinking about the battle situation in his mind, no way, it is related to the fortune of the country, whoever wins this time can get rid of the trouble of two henchmen, a prime minister, a prince, and both of them are extremely human ministers.

Both of them vaguely threatened the throne under them, before the two fought but not broken, he couldn't find a chance, and now the prime minister is willing to take the initiative to provoke trouble, he is happy to see the two fight, tearing their faces, and not dying.

But as for who can win, he has no bottom, no at all, he is not a wise man who has no last resort, he can only borrow this game.

Now the best thing is that the prime minister wins, and he can kill the prime minister in the name of revenge for the general, and without the threat of the hidden country, he can rectify the court.

The prime minister also seems to have found a substitute for the dead ghost, his own younger brother, it seems that everyone doesn't want to bear the notoriety of killing loyal ministers, the Li family calls private soldiers, is it considered a loyal minister?

If this is confirmed, it is worth scrutinizing.

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty is in retreat...... Yes. ”

The eunuch's screams made King Cheng frown, and he got down from the soft couch to see what was going on.

The "bang......" door was opened.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is too late to save the driver, and let King Qinghe kill you!" As soon as he entered the door, the prime minister's old face began to cry.

"I'm not dead yet, so the prime minister doesn't have to cry." King Cheng was stunned by Prime Minister Gao's crying.

"Why didn't you die, Your Majesty, you're going to die soon." Several heavily armored sergeants walked in, their blood-red colors indicating that they had been slaughtered.

"Prime Minister, you!" King Cheng had a hint of horror, and his voice was high-pitched and unbelievable.

"My mediocre majesty, mobilized the internal guards to arrest the general, but was killed by the king of Qinghe with the Youjun, the hateful king of Qinghe colluded with the Youguo, the merchant ships with weapons and armor, the caravan is actually an army, taking advantage of the emptiness of the internal guard, murdered the saint, fortunately, the old minister was clever, and ordered the only remaining palace guards to retreat to the Fenghe Palace, protecting the queen and the prince."

The prime minister's words stabbed into King Cheng's heart like a knife, and King Cheng took a half step back, with a shocked face: "You are so ruthless, you are so ruthless......"

"No matter how ruthless your subordinates are, they are not as ruthless as the saints, kill the generals who have just won a big victory and are ready to hand over power, the saints, the two thousand internal guards of 20,000 are indeed not easy to kill, and the internal guards of 2,000 are much more convenient."

Mocking King Cheng's stupidity, the prime minister smiled happily, King Cheng felt that he was very powerful, in fact, in the eyes of the prime minister, he was a faint king, a faint king, a faint monarch was good, and a faint monarch could make some small moves.

"Where did you get the two thousand? Your nursing home is only five hundred, and you're still wearing heavy armor! King Cheng was shocked and angry.

"Didn't you just say that? King Qinghe was smuggled from Youguo, and the sergeants turned into the escorts of the merchants, taking advantage of the success of the second lady of the Li family this time, and the merchants could not attract attention if there were too many merchants. "The prime minister stroked his hand and said wonderfully.

"Armor and sword soldiers, these guards don't check either?" King Cheng was angry, and the inexplicable knife was on his neck, could he not be angry?

"Your sandalwood has always been a tribute to the country, the jewels of the ladies and the incense cases of the princes, are these things that can be checked?"

The prime minister doesn't mind letting King Cheng die thoroughly, and now it is a pleasant thing to be able to count the mediocrity of this faint king, although he is the prime minister, he is also a human being.

"Are you colluding with Youguo?" King Cheng gritted his teeth, never dreaming that Cheng was ready to rebel earlier than Li Pingyuan.

Although he also felt that the prime minister threatened his power, he felt more from a political basis than a military one.

"Didn't Your Majesty already know? After receiving every account of Youguo, your subordinates have reported to the Holy Lord, and now I will report to you for the last time, Youguo wants Li Pingyuan's life, and I want the lives of the three of you. ”

Prime Minister Gao looked at King Cheng suspiciously, as if he felt that he was talking about something confusing, but he still took a good time, and said respectfully, that is, King Cheng's face flushed.

"You want my life? I am the true dragon emperor, do you want my life? "King Cheng is already very timid.

"It's not just your life, King Qinghe, Li Pingyuan's life, I want your subordinates!" Prime Minister Gao arched his hand and said to King Cheng with a smile that in his eyes, the lives of these three people were already in his hands.

"Your heart is so big, I don't know if you can swallow King Qinghe and Li Pingyuan, Li Pingyuan's sixty or seventy thousand forbidden troops are waiting outside Jidu, and they have already rushed to Jidu." King Cheng didn't want Prime Minister Gao to win so much fun.

"And you and the border army of the Qinghe King garrisoning the western border, Holy Lord." The prime minister's smile contrasts with his decent face, which is especially treacherous!

"How would you know!" King Cheng was taken aback.

"How can you not know, you two brothers cooperate well, on the surface it seems that you are fighting to the death, but in fact, it is to use the power of the family to consume, you pick up the cheap, slowly arrange the manpower in, once it is necessary to conflict, pull Li Pingyuan out and use it."

The prime minister disgusted and said, obviously the two brothers sang and harmonized, he already knew, just accompanied the two to act, obediently did the wrong, and now he wants to tell King Cheng that he is not stupid, but he is forced to come to play with him.

"Now it's good to unload the mill and kill the donkey, it's really great, the ministers didn't expect that you really agreed to use the internal guards to strangle the Li family, are you stupid or not, is it the forbidden army that arranged for your people to go in, or the border western army gave you confidence, faint king."

The prime minister laughed and said, looking at King Cheng who was wearing a robe with a pig's liver-like face, the prime minister was full of happiness, he had always been the king's shield, and now the reward of blocking the arrow is coming, such a scene can only be enjoyed once in a lifetime.

"When the internal guards come back, the border army and the forbidden army will come back, and they will behead your house!!" Anger filled King Cheng's eyes, and he completely lost his composure in his cultivation.

"Shengshang, General Zhenxi, you forgot, you deliberately didn't use the Li family, you used the people of the King of Qinghe, the people of the King of Qinghe, and wanted to form a balance, but the people of the King of Qinghe are his people? This list is picked. The prime minister smiled honestly, as if he had treated King Cheng as respectfully in the past.

"What else have you done...... King Cheng felt a chill in his heart and shivered.

"The minister has done everything, the thistle is also the minister's person, in addition to the soldiers of the four gates, he also governs 10,000 people, now it depends on where the internal guards want to win, waiting for support at any time, you don't think that the internal guards can come back to rescue you, they are too late, the most important thing is that he was born in Qinghe Road, and he is the person of the king of Qinghe."

Prime Minister's words have no effect on King Cheng, he already knew that he had lost, and he lost completely.

"As for the border army, it should be better than Li Pingyuan's forbidden army, but they don't have your holy decree, please don't move the remaining forbidden troops who are not Li Pingyuan's descendants to besiege Li Chengzhi, they will fight and lose, and then be found by the forbidden army commander you appointed, or the minister's people, and annihilate them together, of course, General Mu will let him surrender, and keep it for promotion in the future, Li Chengzhi will have to send him to die."

The prime minister did not stop expressing his desire, and he continued to talk about his plan, saying it to a dead man, to an enemy, to let him know that his plan was worthless.

"How can you collude with so many people, and I give Mu Shilin less? Promised to promote him to the commander of the forbidden army! "This is something that King Cheng can't understand, he is orthodox, he is orthodox!

"Why do you say, Dusk! With green silk, give him decency. The prime minister scolded angrily, and with a wave of his hand, the blood-stained sergeant smiled hideously.

The two moved forward, and King Cheng wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to escape.

"I am the Son of Heaven, I am the Son of Heaven, you can't do this to me." The fear of death creeps up the spine.

"Look at your appearance, how can you have a little bit of the appearance of the Son of Heaven!" Motioned to press King Cheng in front of a bronze mirror.

King Cheng looked at himself in the mirror, wearing a mixed yuan scarf and a blue robe, the self-proclaimed fairy wind bones in the past were completely gone, and his frightened face only had the humility of mortals and the deepest fear of death.

The gossip mirror can't protect the body, the seven-star sword can't kill the enemy, and the silk silk of the Da Luo title he gave himself was torn off by the thick hands of mortals, and it became a soul hook lock.

"Originally, I wanted you to wear a dragon robe decently, but think about it later, you really don't deserve it, the saint, why did you say why your promise is not as good as the minister's promise, not only because the minister promised the general, but more importantly, where did you come from, the minister is the prime minister, how can your promise be compared to the minister, the saint Yun: Don't work for your life, Xun escapes, you don't want to be the emperor, how can everyone be willing to respect you as the son of heaven."

Indifferently watched King Cheng suffocating, his eyes rolled white, his tongue sticked out, and the struggle became sluggish, and finally he completely lost the strength to struggle, and was strangled to death, Prime Minister Gao said regretfully.

Thinking about how to collect the emperor's body, Prime Minister Gao Cheng thought about how to fake the scene, but felt that he thought too much, and he didn't need to forge it, and the queen would soon listen to the government, and he would be in charge of the government of a country, so he didn't need it.

"Prime Minister Gao, I didn't find Dou Zhi, the king of Qinghe." While the prime minister was pondering, someone came in to report.

"I just saw him at the wedding banquet, look, I must find him, someone must end this scene today." The prime minister's heart sank, and he secretly screamed that it was not good.

"Prime Minister, the people of Yu Guo have come in."

The leader of the alliance added more and asked for a monthly pass
