Li Gao and Gao Yu arrived at the Imperial Garden, but they didn't see King Tuoxi and others, they only saw a pool of blood on the ground, and they didn't know whose it was.

"What about people? Didn't you say in the Imperial Garden? Li Gao turned his head to look at Gao Yu.

Gao Yu was also at a loss at this time, how could he know where a few people had gone.

Just when Li Gao and Gao Yu looked at each other, a eunuch came to pass the word: "Lord, King Tuoxi said that everything has been settled, please go to the Jinluan Palace to discuss important matters." ”

When Li Gao heard this, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and said to Gao Yu: "Commander Gao, it seems that our ally is more reliable than you, don't you want to let the little emperor abdicate on the Jinluan Palace and let this king ascend the throne?" ”

When Gao Yu heard this, he said, "Lord Wang, since King Tuoxi has said so, it is better to go and have a look." ”

Li Gao and Gao Yu followed the little eunuch to the Jinluan Palace, but the results they saw surprised the two.

King Tuoxi Sangfu sat on the dragon chair, while Emperor Li Zhun stood under the stage with Gonggong Zheng beside him.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Li Gao shouted at Sang Fu: "Presumptuous, King Tuoxi, what are you doing here?" ”

"Isn't it obvious enough? Now that the little emperor has become a defeated general, who will not sit on this throne, if I sit on this throne, it will save me Dongyi and move westward, and from then on this dynasty and Dongyi will be a family, isn't it convenient? Sanfu replied unexpectedly.

Li Gao has always been thoughtful, and said: "Bold Sangfu, with your small country in Dongyi, you dare to covet the imperial power of our dynasty, and you still don't recognize the situation, so you quickly come down and accept the guilt." ”

At this time, Li Zhun said: "Uncle Wang, why did you come?" ”

Li Gao knew that things had changed, and said to Li Zhun: "Your Majesty, this king is late to save the driver, please ask Your Majesty for forgiveness, but this forbidden army is still in our hands, it is okay to take down this Sangfu and others, please don't be alarmed." ”

After Li Gao finished speaking, he motioned to Gao Yu to summon the forbidden army and block the Jinluan Palace.

Seeing this, Sang Fu was not frightened, but said: "Now this jade seal is in my hands, and there is a shadow team around this king, whoever dares to step forward will definitely die, if you obediently submit to me, I can spare your life, so that you can worry about the rest of your life." ”

"Phew, Dongyi slave, whimsical, come on, give it to me!" Gao Yu directly ordered someone to rush forward.

Seven or eight guards of the forbidden army rushed forward after hearing the order, only to see Sang Fu wave his big hand and shoot some cold arrows from all sides, and seven or eight guards were killed by arrows one after another.

Only then did Li Gao and Gao Yu understand that what Sang Fu said was true, but what they didn't know was that in fact, it was not the so-called shadow squad that shot arrows, but the secret guards around the emperor, all of whom were secretly trained by Zheng Yi, so no one knew.

Seeing this, the forbidden army did not dare to step forward again, Gao Yu was very annoyed, and Li Gao was even more solemn.

"How? Whether you surrender to me today or plan to die here is only in your thoughts. Sang Fu asked a few people in the audience.

Several people went back and forth, Li Gao didn't talk about the plan agreed before, and he was really cunning, but changed from a rebel to a diligent king, and he had to make people happy and convinced of this prince's operation.

"Sangfu, you'd better not mess around, don't think that a few shadow guards can stop the three thousand forbidden army, stop dreaming." Li Gao said slowly.

"King Dongtoe, don't scare me, now I am the new emperor, and I am not scared, if you have any means, just use it."

At this time, Li Gao protected Emperor Li Zhun behind him and ordered the people he had planted in the forbidden army to step forward and take down Sangfu.

Suddenly, more than a dozen soldiers who seemed to be more powerful than the average forbidden army stood up and headed straight in the direction of the dragon chair.

Although the dark arrows on the side continued to shoot out, the soldiers who stepped forward were still unharmed except for a few dead and wounded, and approached Sangfu while resisting.

Sang Fu had no choice but to summon the hidden secret guard to fight with Li Gao's people, but he didn't expect that as soon as the secret guard came out, Li Gao's people had no power to fight back, and fell down one after another, and more than a dozen people wearing black brocade clothes protected Sang Fu's body.

"How? Does anyone else want to come and die? Although Sang Fu was acting, his expression looked really disgusting and very unbeatable.

"Commander Gao, if you don't do it now, when will you wait?" Li Gao looked at Gao Yu.

Gao Yu hesitated when he saw this, but he was inferior after all, so he had to rush forward with a spear in his hand and fight with the Shadow Guard. But he was not an opponent alone, and he was defeated in a short time.

Sang Fu became more and more arrogant, but he was still afraid in his heart, and he was soft on the emperor at the beginning, otherwise he would be embarrassed today.

"Since you don't know what to do, then don't blame this king for being ruthless." After Sang Fu finished speaking, he motioned for the team to go towards Li Gao and others.

Li Gao was not panicked, and slowly pulled out the long sword in his hand. He said secretly in his heart: "Since this king Yao led the eastern border, the long sword in his hand has never been unsheathed, I didn't expect that after so many years, there would be a chance for you to taste blood." ”

Li Gao's eyes were sharp, he looked at the attacking team, his toes were strong, he rushed forward, and the team clashed together, the sword light and sword shadow flashed on the main hall, and in a moment, more than ten people in the team died in Li Gao's hands.

Everyone was shocked, but they really didn't expect that Li Gao was also a master of using swords.

Li Gao saw that everyone was surprised, and said: "Sang Fu, you may not be too ignorant of this king, otherwise why do you think that this king leads the thirteen states in the east from afar, it is the king's head and the long sword in his hand." He also quickly confessed his guilt and was punished. ”

Sang Fu was also at a loss when he saw this, there was a Zheng Yi by the emperor's side, and this Li Gao was also a master, standing in front of the dragon chair and erratic.

Li Zhun saw that Sang Fu was a little shaken, and motioned to Sang Fu to give in.

Sang Fu had an idea, hurriedly ran down, knelt in front of Li Gao, and said: "Lord, spare this king, this king swears to return to Dongyi from now on and never set foot in this place again." ”

Li Gao looked at the surrendered Sang Fu and said, "King Tuoxi, I'm afraid it's too late to discuss these things at this time, today, this king has to borrow something from you to use!" ”

Sang Fu was puzzled and asked, "I don't know what the prince wants to borrow?" ”

Li Gao said coldly: "Your necklace is on the head, but the time is not right at this moment, let it stay on you for an extra hour." ”

Sang Fu trembled, his face was pale, and he couldn't speak.

At this time, Li Zhun asked Li Gao, "Uncle Wang, what does this mean?" Now that the matter has subsided, why do you still need to have the head of King Tuoxi? ”

Li Gao turned around, sneered, and said, "Your Majesty, you have been sitting on this dragon chair for too long, originally this position should be mine, it was mine." If the king of Tuoxi didn't make such a temporary rebellion today, the king would already be sitting on the dragon chair at this time, but since this king of Tuoxi had made such a move, there was a reason. ”

Li Zhun pretended to be frightened and said, "Uncle Wang, what do you want?" ”

"What is the intention? Nature is taking its place! Now that Sang Fu is a fool, I will kill His Majesty first, and then put all the charges on King Tuoxi, thinking that I have merit in suppressing thieves, and I am the orthodoxy of the royal family, and the ministers of the court and the central government will definitely support me as the emperor, which is logical. Li Gao couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and said proudly.

"Uncle Wang, is it you who is really rebelling?" Li Zhun asked.

"What about me? At this time, it is too late to wake up, the entire forbidden army is under my control, I advise Your Majesty to give up the struggle, and suffer less. ”

After listening to Li Gao's words, Li Zhun was very sad, but Uncle Wang, whom he had always admired, was thinking about killing himself all the time, and he was emotionally lost.

And Gao Yu, who thought he knew the times, knelt down in front of Li Gao and shouted, "Please take the throne as the new emperor." ”

Hearing Gao Yu call himself like this, Li Gao was immediately satisfied, and took a step, just about to step over the corpses on those steps and head towards the dragon chair.

"Report to the commander, the imperial city is surrounded by the patrol battalion, and it is Li Chouxin and Yu Sheng who take the lead." The guards of the first palace gate came to report.

"I didn't expect these people to react slowly, but at this moment, they are already lacking in skills." Li Gao said softly.

"Go, order the forbidden army in the palace to resist, and be sure to block them outside the palace." Gao Yu ordered.

After the guards left, Li Gao said to Gao Yu: "I think Commander Gao should go in person, after all, this patrol battalion of Li Chou Xin and Yu Sheng is not an ordinary person. ”

Gao Yu was also enlightened, and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will be the commander of my humble position." ”

Looking at Gao Yu who got up and left, Li Gao was very satisfied.

Li Gao did not continue to walk towards the dragon chair, but stood in place and talked to Li Zhun, waiting for news from the palace gate.

At the gate of the palace, Zhang Xiaopan had already solved the problem and the soldiers of the Dongzhi Palace's mansion rushed to meet Li Chouxin and others, and Yu Sheng also summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to come when the two were drinking according to Li Chouxin's instructions.

Gao Yu looked at everyone at the city gate, and then realized that maybe all this was a scam, and the king of Dongzhi thought he was the one who laid it out, but before the victory or defeat was decided, everything was not known.

"Commander Gao, I advise you, open the palace gate quickly, now the civil and military officials are watching here, if you are defeated, the consequences can be imagined." Yu Sheng shouted towards Gao Yu.

Gao Yu regards himself as having a city wall as a pass, and there is a forbidden army on standby, and the emperor is still in the hands of Li, no matter how he says, he has the advantage, although the imperial city is besieged at this time, but he has not lost the initiative. He replied to Yu Sheng: "General Yu, at this time, Your Majesty is in our hands, and you can't give orders, please find out the situation." ”

The hundred officials who heard this dispelled their half-believing attitude, and criticized the conspiracies and tricks of King Dongzhi and the prime minister.

Zhang Xiaopan was impatient, and said to Li Chouxin: "Master, you talk to General Yu, let Xiaopan take some brothers to break the door." ”

Looking at Zhang Xiaopan's face full of heroism and fighting spirit, Yu Sheng smiled and said: "You don't need to ask your master about this matter, I will be approved." So he sent 300 men to Zhang Xiaopan and was preparing to attack.

"Xiao Pan, remember to be careful, just break open the city gate, don't go deep alone, the strength of this forbidden army should not be underestimated." As soon as Li Chouxin finished speaking, Zhang Xiaopan led people to rush over and attack the palace gate.

Gao Yu condescended, ordered people to release arrows and throw wood and stones, although the patrol battalion, which had no advantage, was a strong general, but it was difficult to avoid this round after round of rocky arrows, and more than half of them were killed and injured as soon as they arrived at the door.

Zhang Xiaopan looked at the soldiers who kept falling, he was furious, let the soldiers retreat, he only stepped forward, and made a move to fly three thousand feet, only to see that in an instant, the sword turned into three thousand, and headed towards the defenders at the head of the city, except for Gao Yu and a few surviving guards, the rest of the forbidden guards died one after another.

Zhang Xiaopan swung a sword towards the palace gate again, it was a sword that came from the side, and the powerful sword intent directly smashed the palace gate, and the way into the palace was already open.

Li Chouxin and Yu Sheng also led a large group of men and horses and hundreds of civil and military officials towards the imperial city.

Gao Yu, who had come to his senses, realized that something was wrong, and ran towards the Jinluan Hall in embarrassment.

On the palace, Li Gao only heard the sound of fighting outside, but he didn't know that the forbidden army he relied on had been defeated at this time, and many of them were armed.

"Lord Wang! Rajah! Oh no, big deal! "Gao Yuren arrived before the sound arrived.

Hearing that Gao Yu changed his name to be the prince again, he hadn't seen Gao Yu yet, and Li Gao also knew that something must be wrong.

Gao Yu rushed in in a panic and said to Li Gao: "Lord Wang, something is wrong!" Li Chouxin and Yu Sheng have already broken through the palace gate with the patrol battalion and hundreds of civil and military officials, and are coming here. ”

"How so? Could it be that these thousands of forbidden troops are all decorations? Li Gao's eyes widened with anger.

"Lord Wang, I don't know where a kid suddenly appeared, and he broke through the palace gate with three hundred people, that kid has superb swordsmanship, and he can solve the guards in the city with one sword, which is really appalling." Gao Yu replied.

Only then did Li Gao think of the kid he met when he left the palace, and nodded, "If it's that person, it's not surprising." ”

"Lord Wang, what should we do now?"

Li Gao kicked Gao Yu and said: "Waste, what are you panicking, at this time the emperor and the king of Tuoxi are in our hands, we are already winning, since they are here, it will save trouble, and after a while, this king will announce that he is the emperor in front of them, and whoever dares to kill him will not obey me." ”

Seeing Li Gao's calm face, Gao Yu also calmed down a little, and took the remaining forbidden army to guard outside the Jinluan Palace.

Li Chouxin and Yu Sheng took the patrol battalion and hundreds of officials into a no-man's land, and they had already come to the outside of the Jinluan Palace.

Seeing this, Gao Yu took the remaining hundreds of forbidden troops to attack Li Chouxin and others, and the two sides fought outside the hall.

In the hall, Li Gao knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and said to Li Zhun: "My good nephew, I wanted to spare your life for a moment or three, but now it seems that this king has to do it in advance, and while no one comes in yet, no one will know that I killed you." ”

After Li Gao said that, he stabbed a sword at Li Zhun, thinking that Li Zhun would die.

Unexpectedly, Sang Fu saw a familiar scene again, and Li Gao was also surprised.

Zheng Yi stood in front of Li Zhun, grabbed the long sword between his two fingers, and with a slight force, the long sword was broken in two.

"You? Who are you? Li Gao asked Eunuch Zheng.

"Lord Wang, isn't our family the little Zheng Zi in front of Your Majesty? However, our family used to have a common name, called Zheng Yi. ”

"What? Zheng Yi! Golden boy Zheng Yi! "Li Gao had heard of Zheng Yi's reputation, so the arrogance on his body gradually weakened at this time.

"Lord Wang, we advise you to stop here, everything in the Shicai Palace is just an illusion, Your Majesty has known about your plan for a long time, but Your Majesty is merciful and doesn't want to believe that the Lord will make a move on Your Majesty, so you acted in such a play." Zheng Yi explained to Li Gao.

"Impossible, what about this Sangfu?" Li Gao asked.

Li Zhun stood up at this time and said, "Uncle Wang, don't you understand? King Tuoxi has already been subdued by me in the Imperial Garden, and Prime Minister Li Changji has died, and I have already seen your so-called plan and persuaded Uncle Wang to stop resisting. ”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, all this is carefully arranged by this king, how can you see through it?"

Li Zhun saw that Li Gao was still not giving up, so he directly threw Li Chouxin's letter at Li Gao, Li Gao couldn't wait to open the letter, his hands gradually trembled, and he said fiercely: "Li Chouxin!" It's this damn Li Chou again! "Full of unwillingness.

But the matter has come to this, and it is difficult to turn back, Li Gao laughed wildly, and came towards Li Zhun with the broken sword, Zheng Yi saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, completely smashed Li Gao's broken sword, and knocked Li Gao out with one palm, spitting blood.

Li Gao looked at everything in disarray and the sword that was broken into several pieces, and sighed: "The sword has been broken, and people will also die." Then he picked up the only piece of sword in his hand and committed suicide, blood gushed out suddenly, and then turned his head to take one last look at the high dragon chair, and drank the temple with reluctance.

Gao Yu outside the hall didn't know that Li Gao was dead, and he was still struggling to resist.

Zheng Yi walked out of the Jinluan Hall at this time, stood at the door, and shouted in a male duck voice: "Stop!" The thief has been ambushed, His Majesty has a will, at this time, the one who puts down the weapon, Rao Er and other lives. ”

Hearing Zheng Yi's voice, Li Chou knew that the big thing had been decided, and when the forbidden army heard this, they also dropped the weapons in their hands one after another.

Gao Yu, who killed the red eye, didn't believe that all this came so suddenly, and still stubbornly shouted that the forbidden army would pick up weapons and fight again, but no one was obeying his orders.

Gao Yu looked at Li Chouxin with angry eyes, and said: "It's all you, Li Chouxin, it was you who ruined all this, even if I die today, Gao Yu, will definitely pull you back." After speaking, he jumped forward and stabbed Li Chouxin with a spear.

Li Chou drew his sword indifferently, his body didn't move much, and he swung out with a sword, only to see that Gao Yu was cut in two with a gun in mid-air, which was miserable.

Zheng Yi said at this time: "Your Majesty has a decree to invite hundreds of officials to enter the palace." ”

Li Chouxin and Yu Sheng walked in front, and hundreds of officials also followed one after another and walked into the hall.

Above the main hall, the corpses were lying horizontally, and the corpse of Li Gao, the king of the east toes, was under the steps, looking in the direction of the dragon chair, and he was dead.

When the officials saw this scene, they were all shocked.

And Li Zhun sat on the dragon chair and said to the hundred officials: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the thief is dead, I hope you will be loyal to me in the future, otherwise this will be the end." ”

The hundred officials looked at Li Zhun's stern gaze and knelt down one after another.

"Your Ministers obey!" Many officials' bodies were already trembling at this time.

Li Zhun thought that the goal had been achieved, and said: "This Dongzhi King is my imperial uncle, his death is not my original intention, it is actually suicide, and I don't want to kill Uncle Wang in order to stabilize the imperial power, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks?" ”

Li Chou knew the emperor's thoughts, and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the king has been defeated, maybe the prince's choice is decent for himself, but the emperor can tell the world on the grounds that King Dongzhi entered the palace to escort him and died unfortunately, and bury King Dongzhi thickly, and let the people of the world see His Majesty's benevolent heart." ”

Li Zhun didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Okay, according to what Li Aiqing said, let's go down and do it!" I am lacking today, other matters of questioning, we will discuss it tomorrow, as for King Tuoxi and others, temporarily return to Yudong Garden, without my will, they must not leave Beijing, they all retreat. ”

After the hundred officials retreated, Zheng Yi ordered someone to clean the Jinluan Palace, Li Zhun sat on the dragon chair and quietly looked at the corpses that were carried out, touched the dragon chair again, and couldn't help but sigh.
