Chapter 165: Forcing the Palace
"The emperor asked you to kill Xie Zhang, will he condemn you to a major crime of murdering the imperial family afterwards?"
Listening to Xie Rin say what the emperor asked him to do, Su Zhiwei was happy that Xie Zhang was finally going to suffer retribution, but on the other hand, he was also worried about Xie Rin.
Of course, she believed that he had expected this step a long time ago.
"So, I'm going to put it off." Xie Rin urged narrowly.
"When?"
"Xie Zhang rebelled."
Of course, Xie Rin will not just drag, he ordered the Praetorian Guards to surround the palace of King Qi and drive all the servants out of the palace, leaving only the King of Qi and Princess Qi, and then poisoning the water and cutting off the food.
He said to Xie Zhang: "Although my father ordered me to kill you secretly, I couldn't bear to kill my brother, so I used this method." ”
As he spoke, he sighed and feigned compassion.
Xie Zhang's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that he would end up like this, "No, I am my father's son-in-law, he won't kill me!" It must be you, you are the one who calculates me, you are the one who wants to kill me! ”
"The third emperor brother is confused, this Praetorian Guard can only be dispatched by the emperor, and I don't have this ability."
Xie Zhang was resentful, "I have always respected him, and in the rebellion of the Three Kings, I saddled his horse before and after." He was short of military salary, so I went to help him rob him, and he wanted to kill his loyal ministers but was afraid of a bad reputation, so I went to kill him. Big brother, fifth brother, it's me, I helped him get rid of it, haven't I done enough? ”
"He wants to kill me, he wants to kill me regardless of the love of father and son! Just because I know about his ugly deeds, he will kill me! ”
Xie Rin sneered, "My eldest brother and fifth brother fought for him, didn't they end up like this, you should have thought of yourself when you hurt them." ”
Xie Zhang raised his head sharply and glared at Xie Rin, "It's you, it's all your conspiracy!" ”
Xie Rin nodded, "It's me." ”
"I'm going to kill you!"
Xie Zhang drew his sword and rushed towards Xie Rin, but he kicked him out.
"Now you are nothing but an ant to me, and I can crush you with one kick. But Xie Zhang, it's not me who wants to kill you right now. ”
He took a step back, "Anyway, you've been in the bag for half your life, so resign yourself to waiting for death." ”
With that, he turned and walked out.
"Nope! I don't accept my fate! ”
Xie Zhang's roar came from behind him, and the corners of Xie Rin's mouth twitched.
Two days later, the king of Qi and the general Xue Huai suddenly rebelled and went straight to the palace with a camp on the outskirts of Beijing.
Hearing the news, Xie Rin was naturally not surprised at all, and explained that Old Man Bai protected Su Zhiwei, and then got up and walked out.
Su Zhi hurriedly grabbed him, "What are you going to do?" ”
Xie Rin hugged her and kissed her, "Naturally, it's a rescue." ”
Su Zhiwei was puzzled, his enemy was not the emperor, he was killed by the rebels, why did he have to save the driver?
"I want to kill him with my own hands."
Su Zhi pursed her lips slightly, she knew that Xie Rin had been suffering for so many years in order to slash the enemy, even if this enemy was his father.
"And King Qi, I will kill him too."
Su Zhiwei hugged Xie Rin, "Thank you." ”
Xie Rin led the Praetorian Guards to guard the palace gate, and the palace was already in chaos, and the concubines and palace slaves fled in panic.
He came to Chengtian Palace, and as soon as he entered the door, the emperor rushed up and asked loudly: "Didn't you kill the rebel, why didn't you do it?" ”
Xie Rin sighed, "He is the brother of Erchen, Erchen can't do it, doesn't his father care about the love of father and son?" ”
"He's going to rebel!"
"But before that, you didn't just guess, just like my eldest brother, you think that he has won the trust of the soldiers, so you feel that he poses a threat to you, so you frame him for rebellion. He had the same opportunity as Xie Zhang to raise troops to protect himself, and even he had more opportunities than Xie Zhang, but he didn't. He respects you, loves you, and never thinks of rebellion, but what about you, you suspect him, frame him, and kill him. ”
Listening to these words, the emperor retreated step by step.
"Y-You know everything?"
The corners of Xie Rin's mouth twitched, "Not only my eldest brother, but also my mother and fifth brother, they want to redress the grievances of the eldest brother, you are afraid that the matter will be exposed, so you poison them." My mother was born in Jiangmen, and in her early years, she fought with you in the north and south, helped you make a lot of military achievements, and stabilized the power of Wucheng Palace, but you didn't remember the old feelings at all, killed her, and killed her two sons. ”
The emperor's eyes widened, "You know everything, you know everything!" You lied to me, lied to me and said you were young at the time and didn't remember anything. ”
"If I hadn't lied to you, you would have killed me a long time ago, wouldn't you?"
Seeing that Xie Rin's eyes were sharp and faintly murderous, the emperor subconsciously stepped back, "Xiao Jiu, I am your father after all, although I have done a lot of wrong things, I promise to make up for you in the future." You want this throne, when the chaos is calmed down, I will pass it to you immediately, okay? ”
Xie Rin sighed, "You think I'm stupid? ”
"No, you're smart! Like me, this one is a lot like me! ”
"Ha, you're smart, but you're too good at doing things!"
The emperor shook his head, "Actually, your mother couldn't stand me first, she had an affair with King Pingyan, your eldest brother and fifth brother were not born to me at all, they were born to her and the second child." Of course, you are my own. ”
"Mother and Uncle Erhuang were originally childhood sweethearts, and in order to recruit my grandfather, you took the first step to ask the first emperor for marriage, and forced him to separate. After the rebellion of the Three Kings, you used my mother as bait and used her life to deceive the second emperor's uncle into taking the bait, and then exterminated the force of King Pingyan. My mother and Uncle Erhuang have been innocent from beginning to end, they have never crossed the thunder pool, you have taken advantage of them, but you have poured dirty water on them. ”
Xie Rin sneered, "You are too despicable. ”
"No, they've been together behind my back for a long time, they're ......"
A sword was put against the emperor's neck, and the emperor didn't dare to say a word more.
"Listen, the outside of the palace has already been killed." Xie Rin raised his eyebrows.
The emperor took a deep breath, "Xiao Jiu, I promise not to pursue today's matter, you quickly protect me and flee." You have to take a long-term view, if Xie Zhang's rebel son succeeds in seizing the throne, he will definitely kill you in the future. ”
"Oh, he can't make it."
"Xue Huai's old puppet is helping him!"
"Xue Huai is in Pingdu, and the only thing he can mobilize is the 10,000 troops in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and Xiao Dingbei is going north with 30,000 troops this time."
As soon as he heard that Xiao Dingbei was coming, the emperor immediately showed joy, "If he rushes here from Xucheng, he can get there in two days, day and night." ”
"He's out of the city."
The joy on the emperor's face was even greater, "Great, I have Dingbei to escort me, don't even think about escaping from any of these traitors!" ”
Xie Rin laughed, "Old thing, you seem to have forgotten, you are now under my sword!" ”
The emperor really forgot, looked down at the cold blade again, and his expression immediately tensed again.
"Xiao Jiu, put the knife down and kill me, you won't survive."
"What, do you still expect Xiao Dingbei to avenge you? Oh, by the way, he's your favorite son. ”
"You know?"
