And the housekeeper Lao Zhu threw the panicked, defenseless Royal Forest Army to the ground, rode on his body, and the short knife in his hand struggled to press down, seeing that he was about to cut the throat of the Royal Forest Army, at this time the old Zhu was already almost crazy, his eyes were staring out, his green tendons were exposed, his cheeks were red, he gritted his teeth, and struggled to kill the person under him.

The Imperial Forest Army, who was crushed under him, grabbed Chief Zhu's shoulders with both arms, trying to push him away. But this old man who is nearly seventy years old doesn't want to have so much strength, and he sweats like rain for a while, and he stalemates. Seeing this, the other Imperial Forest Army hurriedly turned behind the old Zhu, waved the halberd, and stabbed forward, and the golden halberd was instantly soaked in blood, hooking out the intestines in the abdomen. Flesh and blood were blurred, blood splattered.

The old Zhu Yangtian spurted out a mouthful of blood, his whole body was paralyzed, the short knife fell to the ground, and the Imperial Forest Army under him took the opportunity to knock him to the ground, stood up and snatched the halberd from his companion's hand, and squeezed it three times in a row at the already dead Chief Manager Zhu, only squeezing out several blood holes in his chest, spitting again, and scolding: "Damn, in the middle of the night, Lao Tzu almost died under the knife of this old madman, it's really unlucky!"

After that, he squatted down again, lifted the blood-soaked clothes, found the blood-red silver ticket, shook his head and said, "Don't spoil this silver." ”

Hearing the movement at the Zhengyang Gate, the patrolling Ouchi guards hurriedly came, and saw the blood all over the ground, and a corpse lying at the city gate, so he asked the Imperial Forest Army: "What happened?" The two truthfully confessed: "This person is armed with a sharp blade, and he broke into the Zhengyang Gate in the middle of the night, and has been killed by the two of us." The Ouchi guards dragged the corpse away, and sent someone to deal with the bloodstains, and the Imperial Forest Army continued to guard the palace gate step by step, and did not mention anything else.

And the people of the palace who witnessed the whole process in the corner were already frightened and their legs were weak, trembling like chaff, hurriedly covering their mouths and noses, panicked, and ran back to the Shunming palace in a hurry, and fell to the ground, banging on the door of the house, and shouted mournfully: "Open the door!

The door of the house was wide open, and the family saw that it was his own brother, and he was covered with injuries, so he hurriedly helped him up, and was about to take him to treat his injuries, but he said in horror: "I want to see the prince! I want to see the prince!" pushed the partner beside him away, spread his legs and ran to the bedroom without illness. The family members looked puzzled, but they had to let him go, there must be something important.

And the man just cared about the head and broke in, and was colliding with the maid who was holding half a cup of residual tea and had just served the maid who was sleeping without illness, knocked her to the ground, smashed the tea cup, and the tea was scattered all over the ground, his eyes were slightly angry, and he cursed: "Things that don't have long eyes, are so rough and reckless." And the man couldn't care much about it, and he couldn't care about the maid behind him, and shouted, "The prince has just slept!" and broke into the bedroom.

It turned out that Na Ying was uneasy when he saw that Manager Zhu had not returned for a long time, so he waited until he yelled, but he was really sleepy, so he fell asleep and rested. And the subordinate also made a report, directly pushed the door in, threw himself to the ground, and wept bitterly while bowing: "Lord, Lord!" Ying turned over and sat up, and scolded angrily: "Who are you, you have not been informed, and you dare to trespass into the bedroom of this king?"

I didn't want the person with a blue nose and swollen face, and a bruised body ...... kneeling beside the bed, with tears on his face, crying bitterly, and kowtowing: "Lord, I am a subordinate of the house, and I was ordered by General Manager Zhu to connect with the prince Pan in the palace and ask him about the affairs of the palace."

"That Pan Gonggong received our silver taels, but he treacherously beat the small one and threw it out of the palace, and let the small one return to the prince, calling the prince ......" The subordinate didn't dare to say anything more halfway through, Ying Wujian hurriedly asked: "What did he say?" The subordinate had to say: "He asked the prince to wash his neck and kill him, and the time is running out!" After that, he bowed to the ground again.

Ying Wujian raised his sword and pointed in the direction of the palace and reprimanded angrily: "Longyou was played by shrimp in the shallows, and the tiger was bullied by dogs in Pingyang! This king Yingming I has been bullied by that eunuch now!"

He said, he said...... He said that the saint had already had the intention of killing the prince, and now that the prince had been injured by the sword and snowke, and his life was on the verge of death, he should take this opportunity to eradicate the great trouble of his henchmen, so that the party in the DPRK and China would fall apart and eliminate the traitors. Tomorrow morning, His Majesty will discuss with the civil and military officials how to deal with the prince! Prince, the general trend is gone!" The subordinate wailed and cried, tearing his heart and lungs, and Ying Wu's face turned pale and he sat down on the bed.

"Chief Zhu, where is Chief Zhu? Didn't he say that he went to seek medical treatment for this king? Why hasn't he returned yet?" Although he knew that Lao Zhu could not find a famous doctor, he still had the last glimmer of hope, if he could really cure his meridians and internal injuries, his recovery skills would be just around the corner, and he would no longer care about the forbidden army of the imperial court at that time.

But when the subordinate heard that he should be looking for Chief Manager Zhu without illness, his calm mood made waves again, as if he was going to cry dry, and he choked up and said: "In order to find the imperial doctor to treat the prince's injuries, Chief Zhu broke into the palace at night with a sharp blade, and was blocked by the Imperial Forest Army, and wanted to kill him with a sharp blade, but was killed by the Imperial Forest Army! The corpse was dragged away by the Ouchi guards! And the Dao Xueke and Chu Qing'an were knighted because of their meritorious escorts, and they were accepted by the emperor's side, and they became generals and county lords!"

"The sky is going to kill me, the sky is going to kill me!" Ying Wujian looked up to the sky and sighed, spit out a mouthful of blood, turned into blood mist and drifted away, and the long sword in his hand fell to the bed

side, the whole person fell backwards and passed out on the bed. Seeing this, the subordinate hurriedly crashed out of the bedroom, and shouted for help: "Come on, the prince he, the prince he ......" The maids and servants rushed one after another, and went to ask Lang Zhong in the house to come for emergency treatment, and everyone gathered around Ying Wuji, anxious.

Besides, the Dao Xueke and Chu Qing'an, followed by the patrol captain and the Ouchi guards for a day, and when they saw that the sky was over, they rested in the Liulin Mansion in the southwest of Chengtian Mansion. Because their identities are very different in this matter, although they don't want to admit it, it is indeed the general and the county lord who are personally enshrined by the Holy Lord today, how can they live in the inn of the three sects and nine streams?

The two of them didn't quarrel with those big inner guards, and they could save some entanglement by living in the post house, so why not? The night in the post house was extremely long, and the early winter in the north was already cold and biting, Chu Qing'an didn't sleep for a long time, leaning on the window alone and looking at the silver plate that was missing and full, and full and mutilated, and a fingertip-sized snowflake fell gently.

Chu Qingan stretched out his hand to take it, and the thin and cold snowflakes fell on the palm of his hand and melted into water. Chu Qing'an shouted happily to the house: "Brother Xue, it's snowing, look, it's snowing." But as soon as the words came out, Chu Qing'an already regretted it, and Dao Xueke was blind, and he couldn't see this wonderful first snow for a long time.

And Dao Xueke sat at the table, his eyes had been wrapped in medicine by Chu Qing'an with a strip of cloth, this was just a slight attempt according to the method of "Jishi Qing Bag", whether it was useful or not was another matter. Dao Xueke smiled slightly when he heard this: "I saw it, it was beautiful, although my eyes were blind, but my heart was very transparent, I will always remember the appearance of the snow, just like you, it will be unforgettable for a lifetime." ”

Chu Qing'an was warm and sad, sighed lightly, then returned to Dao Xueke's side, helped him up, and the two sat down next to each other on the edge of the bed, Chu Qing'an said firmly: "In this life, I must cure Brother Xue's eyes!" But Dao Xueke smiled and said: "What, do you care about my current appearance?" Chu Qing'an exclaimed: "Of course not!"

Dao Xueke followed Chu Qing'an's arm, his fingertips gently climbed Chu Qing'an's cheek, stroked it and said: "It's inconvenient to work hard, although I have lost my eyes now, I will no longer be confused by those illusory things, from now on, I only rely on a transparent heart to perceive time, and follow the example of Qin's predecessors, isn't it the same life." Moreover, your appearance has long been engraved in my heart and will never be forgotten. In that case, what does it matter if you can see it or not?"

Chu Qing'an was so moved, he hid tears in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth rose upward. Falling into the arms of Dao Xueke, the two hugged each other tightly, and Chu Qing'an asked again: "When is Brother Xue's previous plan to get rid of those Ouchi guards going to be carried out?" "When we leave Liulin Mansion tomorrow, we will try to lay a trap and act according to the plan." Chu Qing'an nodded, the sky was over, the candle flame was blown out, and the figures of the two overlapped, hiding in the darkness.

After a night, the Chengtianfu City has resumed the noise of the day, and the people are boiling, but the Shunming Palace's palace is extremely deserted. Ying Wuxian had already woken up, but his hair was scattered, his clothes were disheveled, his beard was scattered, his eyes were dull, and he was extremely embarrassed. All the maids and servants on the left and right were removed, and Lao Zhu was not around, and there was only the "Supreme Xuanshen Scroll" that was spread out in front of him, and he was still making final considerations.

Once he cultivates this evil martial art, although he can temporarily turn around and return to the peak, he is afraid that his fate will not be better than You Jinwen. Once you've set foot on this path, there's no going back. There has never been anything that puts down the butcher's knife and becomes a Buddha on the spot. At this time, he is only waiting for a holy decree, and if the holy decree comes, it will be the time for him to make a decision.

Ouchi Imperial Palace, on the Tianmei Palace. The body of Chief Xue was finally found in the Qingtian Palace, and Emperor Zhengguang buried him with generous gifts, and ordered someone to demolish the Qingtian Palace. The trusted chief eunuch is the Gonggong Pan who caught him without any illness and did his meritorious work. Chief Pan stood on the hall, put the dust on the dust, glanced at the Zhengguang Emperor, and when he saw him nodding, he shouted loudly outside the hall: "Hundreds of officials are here!"

The civil and military officials who had been waiting outside the Tianming Hall for a long time heard this, so they stopped the discussion, all dressed in court clothes, holding wat cards, unloading their blades, taking off their shoes, and going up to the hall in an orderly manner.

"Zhongqing is flat. "Thank you, Your Majesty!" the hundred officials got up, and Emperor Zhengguang smiled sincerely: "It has been 12 years since I succeeded to the throne, and today is the first time that I have taken the major affairs of the court and politics into my own hands, and I am very happy to talk about state affairs with all the Aiqing. Now that the traitor will be eliminated, the demon is dead, and it won't be long before I can sit in this country in peace, and I will have no scruples. "Your Majesty is wise!" the ministers echoed.

Emperor Zhengguang glanced at the chief manager of Napan again, and he shouted again: "There is a fast play, but there is no retreat." A person turned out of the civil official queue, bowed down and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the minister has a book." Everyone looked at it, this person was Wang Yangnian, the prime minister of the capital of the Second Central Council, who had an overview of the affairs of the Central Council. Emperor Zhengguang then asked with a smile: "What is the important matter of Wang Aiqing, come quickly." ”

"Your Majesty's return to the court is really a blessing for all the people and a blessing for the people. However, now the jackals are still there, and the minions are lurking, and if they are not eliminated one day, they will surely come back and cause chaos to the dynasty. "Wang Yangnian is already an upright and upright old minister, and he is also in the previous blood book secret edict, "The prince of Tanglin should be free of illness, and after receiving the grace of the first emperor and His Majesty, and being removed from the post of regent, he was enshrined in Dongling, and he did not know how to be satisfied

Evil, everyone knows, if you don't deal with it, I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy. I hope that Your Majesty will make a holy decree as soon as possible and have made a decision. ”

Emperor Zhengguang nodded when he heard this, but did not express it directly, but asked: "Wang Aiqing's words, do you agree? Most of the generals were straightforward, stood up in line and said, "The minister seconded the proposal." "Lord Wang's words are very reasonable. "Your Majesty, the prince of Tanglin must not be removed. "But Wenchen will always have more concerns, not a henchman who should be free of illness. The people in the court have more or less received the grace of being free from illness, but they can still carry it before the great righteousness. There is no need to bury your own life in order to save the general trend.

Another person came out of the civil official queue and said: "Your Majesty, although Lord Wang is reasonable, how to deal with the King of Tanglin is more to be discussed. If Tang kills him suddenly, I am afraid that it will provoke resistance, causing the king of Tanglin to die and struggle, which is not good for His Majesty. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

As soon as these words came out, they caused a commotion among the ministers: "This matter must not be rushed, and it must be delayed." "There should be no disease, the means are ruthless, the ambition is high, and it is advisable to get rid of it as soon as possible!" For a while, there was a mess in the court, unorthodox, and there was a loud noise. Emperor Zhengguang was not angry, but was happy to see this controversy. After the ministers realized that they had lost their temper, they all lined up and silenced, and then Emperor Zhengguang spoke.

"What's the matter, stop arguing? Now it's my turn. Emperor Zhengguang slowly got up, walked down the jade steps with the support of the chief manager of Na Pan, stood in front of the ministers, and said slowly: "In any case, after all, Ying Wujian is my fourth emperor uncle and the younger brother of the first emperor, even if he has the intention of killing the king and usurping the throne, I can't do it." Come, listen to the order. ”

The chief manager of Napan then turned to Emperor Zhengguang and knelt down to listen to the order, and Emperor Zhengguang instructed: "The king of Tanglin has repeatedly committed crimes, transgressions, and great rebellion, and should have been beheaded in the streets of Dongshikou, and the whole house was executed together." But I remembered the affection of my uncle and nephew, and I was extrajudicial and only gave him a white silk that should be free of disease, so that he could cut it off on his own. No one else in the house will be held accountable. After committing suicide without illness, he was still buried in the imperial mausoleum with the rites of a prince and entered the ancestral shrine. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" This arrangement is extremely appropriate, and all the ministers bow down. It seems that if it weren't for the fact that there should be no illness and the demon Dao to cause chaos to the dynasty one after another, Emperor Zhengguang would not be weak and sick, but would be a generation of Ming Jun. And another minister asked: "Your Majesty, if the King of Tanglin refuses to commit suicide, what should I do?" Emperor Zhengguang slowly walked back to the dragon chair, closed his eyes slightly with his back to the hundred officials, and said with a long sigh: "If he is really stubborn like this, then I have no choice but to use swords with these four emperor uncles." ”

After discussing this matter, another border general played: "Your Majesty, the minister has a play." Although the demon road has been removed, the meticulous work has been punished. But from this incident, it can be seen that the eagle clan is not dead, and has been plotting and planning for decades, infiltrating our court, just to try to make my middle-earth. Although the treacherous plan is now broken, it is still unknown whether it has other plans. It's time to take precautions to prevent the unexpected. ”

Another Wenchen said: "Your Majesty, General Guo's words are very reasonable. The Eagle Clan has lived in southern Xinjiang for a long time, the territory is narrow, and the resources are scarce, if you want to grow, you must try to plot the land of the Central Plains, and now although you have temporarily failed a move, but the people's hearts are unpredictable, and the Eagle Clan will definitely come back and harass the border of my Nanguan if you don't educate them. At that time, if there is another war, I am afraid that it will fall into passivity and be difficult to resist. ”

"What is the best plan for this matter?" asked Emperor Zhengguang. Who knew that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty actually bowed to each other and admonished in unison: "I ask Your Majesty to issue an order, preemptively, conquer southern Xinjiang, level the Eagle Clan, stop the war with war, and never stop the war, so as to protect the land of the Central Plains, Jiang Guo's rivers and mountains will be forever, and the people will be peaceful." Please decide!"

When Emperor Zhengguang heard this, he was slightly stunned, but after thinking about it, it was not unreasonable. Instead of always being on guard against the Eagle Clan and not sleeping day and night, it is better to strike first, seize the opportunity, and pacify southern Xinjiang in one fell swoop. Emperor Zhengguang lowered his head and pondered, raised his head again, looked at the golden plaque of Taizu's personal book hanging on the Ming Hall that day, "Jiangshan Yonggu", and suddenly turned around and said: "Listen to the order!"

"Wechen is here!" the officials replied in unison. Emperor Zhengguang raised his arms and passed the decree, and the generals were divided: "Zhongqing listen to the order! Bai Wu Pinghou Deng Guozhi is the generalissimo of Pingnan, Anbang Hou An Pingyuan is the deputy general of Zhennan, the central official Cheng Han Shuyuan is the army, Li Yuanming of the military department is the overseer, and the hussar general Zuo Renming and the chariot general Ying Tianxiong are ordered to lead 150,000 troops to the south, and then the edict is ordered to send 10,000 troops to the south of the 12 road governors' mansions, a total of 270,000 troops to go out of Nanguan to directly take the Chaoying Clan, be sure to exterminate them, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never regenerate!"

"The ministers obey the order!" The ministers each received their orders, and Emperor Zhengguang commanded: "The armaments and equipment used are all ready for the military headquarters, and they will set off on the same day! The grain and grass should be prepared first, and they should be hoarded in the Luoyan Mansion, and if there is any delay in the military aircraft, they will not be spared! The generalissimo can make full decisions, and there is no need to repay me!" "Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers echoed again.

But there was a small official at the end of the queue who rushed out of the queue, knelt in the hall and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, you must not!" This person turned out to be the person who replaced Huang Kuixin, a trusted five-grade Fuwen servant who had just taken office of Wang Qianfan, and stopped him: "Your Majesty, you must not send troops to fight!" Emperor Zhengguang asked: "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought that they were going to strike first, why did you stop it?"

"If the Eagle Clan comes to attack, we will refuse it for Your Majesty, it is really a heavenly principle, the Eagle Clan will be defeated, we will win, and we will have a clear conscience This is the teacher of justice. And now the enemy has not offended me, I will first offend people, set off swords, causing the people of the two countries to fall into war, countless casualties, and the lives of the two countries, even if the southern Xinjiang is leveled, it is in vain, heaven does not tolerate it, the unrighteous teacher, I am afraid that I will be punished by heaven, and I hope that Your Majesty, Mingjian!"

Emperor Zhengguang was not a faint monarch, and he knew that this statement was quite reasonable, so he fell into deep thought.
