Chapter 225: Changes in the Imperial Palace

However, it is said that today's Dongying is at the time of the transition of the regency politics and the Yuan Zheng era, and the one who is in charge is Emperor Shirakawa Taishang.

Although he abdicated and became the emperor, it was to compete with the regent and the Sekibai Fujiwara clan, intending to regain imperial power, but he was not really abdicating.

His son, Emperor Horikawa, ascended the throne at the age of 8, but he has always been a puppet.

In order to control Emperor Horikawa, Emperor Shirakawa married his 32-year-old sister to his 13-year-old eldest son as empress.

It's a pity that Emperor Horikawa was short-lived, and he just passed away the year before last at the age of 29.

The eldest son of Emperor Horikawa, he naturally succeeded to the throne as the new puppet - Emperor Toba, who was 5 years old at the time, and Fujiwara was loyal to Sekihaku.

A new round of the struggle for rectification has begun.

"Emperor, the internal affairs of the kingdom should not be interfered in by our country. It is not a wise choice to offend Naliangshan rashly. ”

Fujiwara sat faithfully behind a few cases, with a towering crown and wide robes and large sleeves, with a bit of pre-Tang charm.

The gate of the imperial palace was open, and the setting sun shone in from outside the courtyard, falling on him, making him even more elegant and extraordinary.

On the opposite side of several cases, Emperor Shirakawa was leisurely ordering tea, and his interest in the patterns on the tea surface in the tea bowl was obviously higher than that of Guan Bai Fujiwara.

Behind him, a strong man dressed as a samurai was kneeling with his head bowed, staring at Fujiwara Tadashi without squinting.

He is the leader of the Taira samurai group, Taira Tadamori, and he is also the capital that Emperor Shirakawa relies on to compete with the Fujiwara clan.

After a few moments, the tea order was finally over, and Emperor Shirakawa looked at the almost perfect pattern, patted the table with a folding fan, and laughed.

"Haha...... Fujiwara Sekihaku, don't take the problem too seriously. ”

"Although Liangshan was quite powerful before, it was only because the Great Song Dynasty was unguarded that it had the momentum of aggression like fire, and now it has been frustrated, and it is shrinking in a corner, and it no longer has the ability to chase the Central Plains."

"My country is small and widowed, so it is natural to hug the thighs of the country that day, see the sages and think together, and learn from them a lot, so that there is the possibility of developing and becoming stronger!"

Fujiwara faithfully protested with a gloomy face:

"Learning is definitely learning, but it is not necessary to become a vassal of another country."

"And the strength of the kingdom was too strong that day, so they were in chaos, which was actually better for our country."

"Whether it's recruiting talent or trading materials, there are more benefits to be taken advantage of."

"I think it is the wisest choice to sell sulfur and other materials to Liangshan at a high price, and let him fight with Da Song for a few more years."

"The emperor is so flattering to the Great Song Dynasty, it really makes people feel a little embarrassed!"

Emperor Baihe frowned, and before he could get up, Ping Zhongsheng behind him was furious, his body jumped up suddenly, his left hand held the long knife at his waist, and his right hand held the handle of the knife, pulled out half of the long knife, and shouted angrily:

"Presumptuous!"

"Can such words come out of your mouth?"

"Immediately ask His Majesty for guilt, or you will see what a samurai's anger looks like!"

Fujiwara Tadashi changed color, and looked at him angrily, his lips squirmed, and he wanted to say cruel words but didn't dare in the end.

This kind of rude samurai is not rude, but he does not pay attention to the rules, if he really dies here, it is not worth it for the emperor to execute this samurai to bury him afterwards.

After a while, he finally bowed down and apologized to Emperor Baihe:

"The subordinates are rude, please forgive the emperor."

The Emperor of the White River smiled on his lips, proudly stretched out his hand to help him up, and was just about to say a few words of encouragement, when suddenly there was a loud "boom", a flower in front of him, and then a black shadow swept into the garden with a gale, and the cherry blossom tree that the gardener had carefully pruned was rolled into broken branches and leaves, and in an instant it became a pile of rotten wood.

"Phew...... What is the broken place, what is the rotten wood doing here? ”

Ghost Li spat out the branches in his mouth and jumped off Ma Ling's body complaining.

This wind and fire wheel is good for everything, but it is not good that there is no windshield or energy shield.

I was blown by the sea breeze on the sea, and I got wet, and when I went ashore, I was covered in dirt by the dust on the ground, and I looked like a beggar, which seriously affected the image of the true monarch of exorcism!

Seeing a stranger suddenly appear in the imperial palace, the Emperor Baihe was furious and anxious, pointed the folding fan in his hand towards Li Gui, and the big man behind him got up, like a tiger descending from a mountain, he rushed to Li Gui with an arrow step, swung his arms and waist, and the white light flashed, and the katana slashed over.

Ghost Li didn't raise his eyelids, and with a flick of his hand, the katana made of refined steel broke from it, and the broken blade spun and broke through the air, reflecting a dazzling white light in the sunlight, round and round.

Na Pingzhong was shocked, but he didn't retreat, but as soon as he raised his leg, he kicked over with a flirtatious kick.

Li Ghost stretched out his hand and grabbed the blade that was spinning in mid-air, and swung it downward, like cutting tofu, and cut off the calf of this guy.

"Ah......" Ping Zhongsheng screamed, his body rolled over on his side, but he still didn't forget to slash the half blade in his hand towards Li Gui's calf, wanting to repay it.

Li Gui didn't even hide, he let him cut Li Gui's pants in surprise, and heard the sharp friction sound of the knife on Li Gui's leg, but finally saw in despair that the knife didn't even cut off half of Li Gui's leg hair.

"It can't be!" Taira cried out in despair, his body falling to the ground, blood spurting out from under his legs like a fountain, completely staining the dirt beneath him.

"Noise!" Ghost Li frowned, raised his feet and stepped down, stepping on this guy's head into a rotten watermelon.

"Ah...... There are assassins...... Come and save the driver......" The Emperor Shirakawa screamed like a chicken, but the Fujiwara Faithful took a few steps back, hid behind the side of the Emperor Shirakawa, and let the Emperor Shirakawa out, clearly trying to kill people with a knife.

Ghost Li didn't care about any of this, he smiled and looked at the nobleman who was gorgeously dressed, but his eyes were full of fear.

He loves to watch this scene the most, and he never gets tired of watching it.

It is extremely exciting to pull the big man from the clouds and turn them back into human beings, and then step on them and kill them like a chicken.

The strange wind had blown before, which had already alarmed the guards outside the courtyard, but now that they heard that the emperor had been assassinated, they hurriedly rushed in with the guards to escort them.

This group of people is far worse than the Zhao Guan's royal forest class, and they don't need Ghost Li to do it himself, and the "mount" Ma Ling next to him wielded a halberd, and killed the guards in an instant, and died two or three percent on the spot, and the rest of them who were lucky not to die didn't dare to fight to the death at all, and the ghost ran away crying wolf.

In order to regain power, Emperor Shirakawa abdicated and became the emperor, and then relied on the Taira samurai group to make a power structure outside the system, and pressed on the emperor and Sekihaku (equivalent to the prime minister, who has always been in charge of the Fujiwara clan).

However, Emperor Shirakawa messed up, and the samurai group quickly grew bigger, and later put him under house arrest.

Later, two samurai groups, the Taira clan and the Genji clan, fought, and the victors ended the Heiankyo period and began the shogunate period.

Since then, the Japanese general has the final say, and the emperor has stepped aside.
