Chapter 493 Coups d'état often happen in an instant
February 17, 10th year of China.
Wang Qi's car has arrived in Xianghe County, and it is still a day's journey from Beijing.
Since the second consul, Wang Qi has made a total of 17 tours, covering all the provinces in China, and almost every provincial council is under Wang Qi's control.
Three days later, it will be time for the third parliamentary election.
So Wang Qi planned to rush back to Beijing from Zhucheng in the next few days.
The news of Wang Qi's resignation is well known to everyone.
It is clear that since the decade, public opinion has begun to approve of the state of parliamentary rule.
As the date of Wang Qi's resignation is approaching, the imperial party has begun to act privately.
Wang Qi's guard of honor is extremely tight, the scouts of the vanguard lead three miles in front, there are guards of honor with knives on the left and right, and there are a large number of armored soldiers behind, and ordinary people have no chance to get close at all.
However, not being close does not mean that there is no chance.
On a hillside in the distance, between the jungle cover, the muzzles of the five black holes were slightly adjusting their angles, trying to aim at the sedan chair in the center of the honor guard, which Wang Qi called it.
"Three inches to the left, five inches up"
"The left muzzle pressed down an inch."
"The second from the right continues to raise the second village of the gun."
It was a middle-aged man's voice, majestic, solemn, and unquestionable.
After a few breaths, the car entered the range of the shelling.
The man was visibly nervous, and his tone trembled a little.
"Ready."
Scold!
The gas from the flames was a little pungent, but no one made a sound, and the faint blue light flickered continuously, about five fingers away from the lead.
"Ignition!"
With the man's order given.
呲呲呲!!
As the lead quickly shortened in the pursuit of the firelight, the man's gaze became fierce and excited.
After three breaths,
With the muzzle fire bursting.
Bang bang!!
After five loud bangs,
The swarthy shells from the artillery shot out at great speed, heading towards the guard of honor that was advancing rapidly in the distance, or more precisely, towards Wang Qi's car.
Boom bang!
Under the bombardment of five shells,
Half of the body of the frame where Wang Qi was located had exploded, and the horses pulling the cart broke free from the reins, and the huge frame fell directly to the ground.
"Enemy Attack !!"
The honor guard immediately reacted, and more than 100 elite soldiers immediately surrounded Wang Qi's car.
More guards were on guard on the perimeter.
The cavalry patrolled the outermost part,
Armor guards on the inside
Then there is the combination of archers and musketeers!
Almost instantly, the entire escort formed an impregnable circle of guards.
At the innermost, the doctors accompanying the team have already begun to check Wang Qi's injuries.
"Protect the consul, this place is not far from the Xianghe, and the reinforcements will arrive in a moment!" The commander of the escort rode his horse and commanded his troops.
Kill!!!
After several shellings, on the hillsides on both sides in the distance, between the jungle shades, a large number of soldiers armed with long knives and bows rushed out, and they were also elite soldiers.
And the leader, the commander of the guards, obviously knew, and immediately waved his knife and scolded: "You fuck, your conscience was eaten by a dog? How dare you betray your lords? ”
"Kill Wang Qi and support Zhu Cilin to ascend the throne, we will be the princes! The wealth of thousands of generations is at your fingertips!! Kill!!! Obviously, the person who attacked and killed Wang Qi didn't want to talk nonsense, ignored the curses of his former colleagues, and directly killed him with a knife.
For a time, the entire valley was already soaked in blood.

"The consul's guard of honor has arrived in Xianghe, and he will return to Beijing tomorrow, it seems that Yuan Keli and those people are at the end of their rope and have no chance." Many people in Beijing are looking forward to waiting for the consul to return to Beijing and make a safe and steady transition to the third parliamentary team.
This is the wish of the people of the world.
"If it's just Yuan Keli, then there's no need for the ruling lord to make a big show of patrolling the entire two capitals and thirteen provinces," a man in brocade robe said in a low voice in the restaurant: "The key is that those old men of the former dynasty hidden in the dark, those imperial supporters, and those civil and military ministers with evil intentions, they are the enemies of the parliamentary system!" ”
"The facts have been proven countless times, no matter who dares to go against the Archon, the final outcome will be failure, and there will be no deviation!"
Today, most of the scholars and people throughout Beijing are embracing the parliamentary system that Wang Qi has created—after all, whoever you can feed will really support you.
Da da da.
While everyone was talking, a man on horseback galloped through the street, as if he was coming directly from a far distance.
"What's the matter?"
"Looks like a dusty man"
"It can't be, Lord Archon, something happened, right?"
In the restaurant, everyone was suddenly silenced.
Half a time later, the news of martial law in the capital came.
An hour later, the noon gate of the imperial city, which had not been opened for ten years, suddenly made a sensation, and at the same time came the empress dowager's decree transcribed in the name of Zhang Yan, announcing the restoration of the former Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Cilin re-ascended the throne, Ye Xianggao was the first assistant, Yuan Keli was the important military affairs of Pingzhang, coordinated all internal and external matters, the parliament was dissolved, and the cabinet was reorganized!
At the same time, it was announced to the world that Wang Qi, Wang Shouxin, and Li Qingsong had been attacked and killed in Xianghe.
Subsequently, the third edict was issued, and the generals of Qin Erbao, Lu Xiangsheng and others who were the governors of the world were co-opted, and they were guaranteed to be crowned with the title of knight after surrendering, and they would be glorious for all eternity and rest with the country!
For a time, there was an uproar in the capital.
Juxianfang, the residence of the ruling government.
Hai Lanzhu had already received the news from the city at this moment, but this grassland pearl, who had followed Wang Qi for more than ten years, did not panic in the slightest.
Hai Lanzhu was dressed in gorgeous clothes, standing on the steps with two children, looking at the hundreds of soldiers in the courtyard: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, the day the consul brought them back from Liaodong, he told me that these soldiers are external caretakers, but internally they are some veterans who have meritorious service to the country, and they should be treated well, I am a woman's family, I don't know what meritorious service to the country is, I only know that my husband does not know whether he is alive or dead, and you are his most trusted subordinates, I Hai Lanzhu will ask you today, can I trust you?" ”
"Madam, as long as you give an order, more than 700 people in the courtyard will all die!" Wang Changxi, the presidential consul, arched his hand and said: "When the consul returns, if the mansion is broken, then all he sees is the corpses of more than 700 of our brothers!! ”
"Good! Then I'll do it once today," Hai Lanzhu took a deep breath: "All the guards, the family, and the armored soldiers, will protect the entire courtyard, with three hundred people in the front yard, one hundred people in the back yard, and thirty people left behind in each of the other three gates!" As long as anyone dares to storm the ruling mansion! Kill Now! No mercy!! ”
"Obey !!"
With the temporary protection of the safety in the house, Hai Lanzhu came to the inner house with her two children, and Zhu Huiyan and Luluo were already waiting.
"If the mansion is broken, each of you will have a dagger, and you will end yourself, and you must not be subject to the hands of others, no matter what, you can't let the ruling lord be disgraced!" Hai Lanzhu handed over the two daggers to the two concubines respectively, and then instructed the two stout maids behind her: "If the two ladies can't do it, you can help more." ”
"Madame, rest assured!"
After that, ignoring the two, Hai Lanzhu took the child back to the front hall, holding the last dagger tightly in her hand, and sat in the front hall with a solemn and firm expression.
