Chapter 107: Killing the King on a Rainy Night
"Boom ————"
In the sky above the imperial city in the dark night, the dark clouds that had accumulated all day finally could not bear it, and under a thunderclap, they turned into thousands of raindrops and poured down.
At this time, it was already late at night, and this thunder and lightning instantly illuminated the entire imperial city and the capital, revealing busy figures everywhere.
The eunuch party is destroyed, and the big government has to be returned, which is destined to be a sleepless night.
A team of Jinyi guards and Dongchang's fans, under the supervision of the Wulin guards, rushed into the houses of the three party officials in the night, read out the holy decree, and raided the house and took people.
The family members of many officials of the three parties, when their old man went to court in the morning, were still laughing at the emperor's cowardice and incompetence, and the tragic situation that he would be replaced at any time, and in the evening, they were already the targets of raiding their homes.
In other words, this large-scale raid of homes began during the day, but the number of officials of the three parties was too large, and the family property was too rich, so that the raid was not completed at night.
Title deeds, silver stamps, gold and silver, grain, silk, cloth, antiques and jade, and even a load of pepper were found from the homes of various important ministers and then registered.
The emperor has just returned the big government, and he has shown a thunderous method, and the blood in front of the Taihe Palace has not been washed away, so the Jinyi Wei and Dongchang fans who participated in the raid of the family are all solemn, and they don't dare to have any greedy thoughts at all.
What's more, among these teams of copying families, there are all masters of Wu Linwei, who are the emperor's real henchmen.
Li Yun made a mistake to leave the palace before and participated in the ring to become the leader of the martial arts alliance, and at this time he also reaped rich rewards.
At least these guards of the martial arts guard really worship Li Yun, the emperor and the leader of the martial arts alliance, from the bottom of their hearts, and they are not used to the corruption above the court.
These martial arts guards who were born in the rivers and lakes still have the dream of chivalry and righteousness in their hearts, and they have not been corrupted by the system, and they are the real sword in Li Yun's hands to govern the court.
The families of the three party officials living in the west of the city, especially the sons of the Dongzhu Party, were very arrogant at first, claiming that they were members of a family with nine surnames and ten clans, and the wild dogs of the court were not qualified to enter their homes, and even organized the family to fight against Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi.
After all, even when the eunuch Enhai was in charge of the court, he didn't dare to directly turn his face with them and go too far, but also give three points of courtesy, considering the feelings of the nine surnames and ten families.
Although this little emperor was still in power, they didn't see the scene of slaughter in the court, and even naively thought that since the emperor was different from the eunuchs, he should naturally be more reasonable and respect the people of their family.
It wasn't until Jinyiwei and Dongchang's house-raiding team transferred out the crossbowmen, and after a volley, they rushed into the house under the leadership of Wu Linwei and slaughtered a few families on the spot, that the family members of these Dongzhu Party completely understood the stakes and did not dare to resist anymore, and were arrested and imprisoned in the midst of crying and shouting.
In the capital here, the family is in full swing, and in the imperial city, there is also a slaughter.
In this imperial city, there are the ceremonial supervisor, the inner palace supervisor, the imperial eunuch, the division supervisor, the imperial horse supervisor, the shrine supervisor, the Shangshan supervisor, the Shangbao supervisor, the seal silk supervisor, the direct palace supervisor, the Shangyi supervisor, and the twelve eunuchs in the Duzhi prison, and there are four divisions of salary, bells and drums, treasure money, and mixed hall, as well as soldiers, silver, raccoons, scarves and hats, needlework, inner weaving and dyeing, wine and vinegar noodles, and Si Yuan, which are called the eight bureaus, adding up to at least more than 10,000 eunuchs on the bright side alone.
The eunuch party and the eunuch party relied on eunuchs to form a party, and Enhai was originally known as the three thousand grandsons, and of the more than 10,000 eunuchs in the imperial city, three or four thousand people were eunuch henchmen.
On weekdays, these eunuchs are powerful, domineering, and do their best to squeeze ordinary eunuchs and eunuchs.
And now, these eunuchs have completely become street rats.
There was no need for Jinyiwei to arrest them at all, and those eunuchs who had enmity with the eunuchs took it upon themselves to tie up the eunuchs and send them to the edict.
If the prison is full, it will be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, and the prison of the Criminal Department is full, and there is also the Dali Temple Prison of Dali Temple.
For a time, the cells in the entire capital were overcrowded, and there was no certain level, and if you wanted to be sent to the Imperial Prison, you had to rely on the relationship.
At the same time, under His Majesty Bai Yudan in front of the Taihe Palace, Li Mu, the king of Xian, knelt in the rain, his whole body was soaked in the rain, and he trembled.
He himself was just a scholar who was not diligent and did not distinguish between grains and grains, and at this time, he had not eaten a grain of rice all day, and he was already weak.
It's just that Li Mu didn't dare to slack off at all, but tried his best to kneel well, and didn't even dare to shake in the slightest.
Under the eaves of the Taihe Hall in front of him, the brocade guard named Zhou Quan was staring at him with a few guards at this time.
Since daytime, these people have been doing nothing else, just staring at him here, apparently waiting for him to make a mistake.
Seeing with his own eyes the cruel methods and bloody killings of the emperor at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, Li Mucai finally understood what the emperor said before:
The hegemony of the dynasty, how can it be such a child's play.
From the very beginning, he was just an opportunistic and somewhat clever person, vainly trying to become the emperor by the power of the eunuchs, blinded by huge interests, and did not see the danger at all!
He also remembered that the emperor once said that in the face of the loser, it is necessary to cut the bones and scatter ashes with a thousand knives in order to eliminate the disaster!
At that time, he was proud and determined to win the throne, thinking that the emperor was just bluffing, and the throne would be hiss sooner or later, but now he suddenly realized that he himself was a loser!
So he didn't dare to move at all, let the rain wash down, and also put himself in a kneeling position.
I already knew in my heart that these brocade guards must have been sent by the emperor to harm him!
Maybe just because he kneels unsteadily, he will be charged with bullying him, and he will never let the other party succeed.
Li Mu has also figured out that after all, he is a child of the clan, and he is a prince with the name of the king, and the emperor should call him a brother according to his seniority.
Since the other party's big politics have to be returned, if you want to completely control the court and win people's hearts, you must also make some gentle gestures.
At least you can't be too ruthless to your relatives, otherwise you will inevitably be scolded by the world.
As long as he survives this night, tomorrow the emperor may be angry, and he will have a chance to live......
Thinking of this, Li Mu knelt more and more steadily.
Under the eaves of the Taihe Palace, Zhou Quan looked at Li Mu, who was kneeling under His Majesty Bai Yudan, and couldn't help frowning.
It's okay to do this, this kneeling and kowtowing kung fu is really profound, and I haven't fainted yet.
Seeing that this night is about to pass, when the day dawns and the court is straightened out, many things will not be easy to do.
He was originally just a small general banner, but he had great luck and was deeply favored by the emperor, so he naturally wanted to solve problems for Mingjun.
The emperor is lenient, and the other party is a clan, so he must be soft-hearted and let go of this dedication to the king Li Mu.
But in that case, it will be a great disaster!
Although he didn't read much, he still heard a lot of plays in the Qinglou restaurant, and there were many of them in the clans of a certain dynasty, coveting the throne, and finally rebelling and the like.
He must not allow this to happen.
The next moment he gritted his teeth, stood up, glanced at his subordinates behind him, and said:
"You are all waiting here, and I will send the king back."
As he spoke, he strode into the rain curtain, came to the king of Xian, looked down at the man kneeling there, and said in a deep voice:
"Lord Wang, please go back."
Hearing this, Li Muru was amnestied, and hurriedly kowtowed in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and then struggled to get up, and said:
"Thank you, thank you! The emperor's grace is vast, Mu, I dare not be ashamed! ”
The emperor is going to spare his life!
In the end, he is still too young and immature, and his leniency is too much......
While thinking, Li Mu turned around and staggered, accompanied by Zhou Quan, and walked towards his residence.
The two quickly left the Taihe Hall and walked into a long alley.
At this time, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the drainage culverts on both sides of the alley were already full of water, making a rumbling sound of water.
Next to it, there is a stone slab on top of a culvert that has fallen into disrepair and has been washed away by heavy rain, revealing the water below.
Li Mu knelt for too long, his legs were sore, and after walking for a while, he only felt that his feet were soft, and he almost fainted.
Zhou Quan came over to hold Li Mu's arm, and said with a smile:
"Lord be careful."
Li Mu squeezed out a grateful smile on his face and said:
"Thank you...... Thank you Zhou Qianhu ......"
As soon as the words fell, he only felt a strong force coming from his arm, and then the whole person spun around, and suddenly plunged into the broken culvert next to him!
Fortunately, the culvert was not deep, his upper body was immersed in the water, and in a blink of an eye, he drank a few mouthfuls of rainwater, grabbed a lot of mud on the two walls of the culvert with both hands, and then grabbed the edge of the mouth above and wanted to climb out, but instantly felt that a foot stepped on his body, pressing him hard in the water, so that he couldn't get out at all!
It's thoughtful!
Li Mu's eyes widened in the pitch-black water, desperately trying to struggle to get up, but he couldn't resist Zhou Quan's strength at all.
The emperor wants to kill me? He...... Is he really going to kill me? Isn't he afraid of ruining his reputation?
I'm not an emperor anymore, I'm not an emperor anymore, please don't kill me......
He had been hungry for a day and kneeling for a day, and he was already weak, and after only a short struggle at this time, he was completely unconscious, and then quickly lost his voice.
Zhou Quan was expressionless, his feet stepped on Li Mu's body, his hand pressed on the embroidered spring knife at his waist, and he stared vigilantly at the alley in the dark night.
If anyone comes over without opening their eyes, it can't be said to be a slash.
After another cup of tea, after making sure that Li Mu was too dead to die anymore, Zhou Quan took Li Mu out and carefully touched the pulse, and then stuffed his whole person into the culvert.
After dawn, he will come back and bring people to "find" the body of Li Mu, the king of Xian.
……
Early in the morning, Li Yun got up and put on a bright yellow dragon robe under Zhen'er's service.
I haven't been to court for a long time, and I'm a little uncomfortable.
Today is the first early dynasty after his great government, and he still has to go.
As for the early dynasty in the future, let's talk about it later.
At this moment, the little light who was guarding outside came and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, Jinyi Wei Qianhu Zhou Quanzhou asks to see you."
Xiao Guangzi and the others already knew the news that the emperor had become the leader of the White Lotus Sect at this time, and they were all happy in their hearts, understanding that the emperor was the embodiment of the lifeless old father, this would inevitably happen, and what they entrusted was indeed the Ming Lord, and their loyalty to Li Yun at this time was even more than before.
Li Yun said lightly:
"See you."
Soon, I saw Zhou Quan walking into the Heart Cultivation Palace, kneeling down on one knee to Li Yun, and said with tears in his eyes:
"Your Majesty, the last general deserves death! Last night, Li Mu returned to the dormitory alone in the Taihe Palace, due to the heavy rain, the road was slippery after dark, and he fell into the culvert beside the road. ”
"The last general did not do a good job of guarding, resulting in the death of the king, causing such a big mistake, please ask the emperor to punish him!"
Hearing this, Li Yun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Quan, and said meaningfully:
"In this matter, it is indeed because you have not guarded well, and you will be punished for three days to set an example!"
When Zhou Quan heard this, he still burst into tears, and hurriedly thanked the emperor again.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor casually threw him a jade bottle and said:
"This is the seven-star kui dou pill refined by Taizu Li Chenggang, and it is rewarded."
