Chapter 279: Forcing the Palace
Bad endings often seem unacceptable, always accompanied by a series of hysteria as well as madness. People seem to have become accustomed to accepting all good things, and for the bad ones, they will always try their best to escape, or take back what belongs to them by any means. Human nature is often sad with a hint of ridiculousness.
When everyone was still in the repentance of losing the opportunity, the army of Yanmen Wangfu had quietly entered the Central Plains and came to a place less than 100 miles away from Shaolin Temple. At the same time, a spy reported that the king of Yanmen had gathered the thousands of soldiers and horses stationed at the foot of the mountain before, and merged with the 80,000 army, and he would be killed again in the near future.
Everything seemed to be developing as unintentionally hoped, as if everything was under his control. However, it seems that the enemy has taken the limelight, and the balance of victory has slowly tilted in favor of the enemy, and it seems that it is somewhat difficult to distinguish who has the upper hand.
In the attic of the small courtyard behind the Shaolin Temple, he stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the Shaolin Temple in front of him, which looked unusually calm and serene in the sun, and his heart turned a thousand times. Beneath the seemingly peaceful surface, perhaps the ambitions of wolves have already been exposed, as well as the trembling blades.
Originally, he could have prevented the enemy from rescuing the father and son of the King of Yanmen, so that maybe the situation would not have become as passive as it is now, but he didn't, not because he was arrogant enough to ignore all enemies, but because he wanted to force someone to show up in this way, and that person was the Seven Sages King.
Although there are continuous folk rumors, there are still many people who do not believe that the Seven Sages have rebelled, because the impression he has left on people in the past few decades is too deep, and the image of the Sage King has been deeply rooted, and no one will really believe it if they do not put the facts in front of them one by one.
He was taking risks, his own lives, and the lives of those who were willing to follow in his footsteps, and he knew, and those people probably knew, but they didn't say it. But he had no choice, because if the Xianwang Mansion did not fall, there would be no peace in the world, and sooner or later such a play would be staged, so it was better to solve it all at once, and let those who had already died in this battle not die in vain.
Wuxin said that he didn't care about the longevity, or the stench for thousands of years, he only knew that some things must be done at a price, no matter who he was, maybe he would die, but at least he had tried.
What should come will come after all, just like the sun and the moon alternate, and the seasons change......
In a slightly dimly lit room, there was a person standing, slightly bent over, with his head down, looking at the person lying on a bed in front of him, with a solemn face. This person is none other than the president of the Six Doors, Zhan Ying. And the person lying on the bed in front of him was the same person who was terminally ill today.
"Your Majesty, things are almost out of our control, Gong Jiu has returned to Shaolin with reinforcements from the Xianwang Mansion, according to your meaning, we have not stopped it. However, now that the capital is completely controlled by them, we can no longer bring in a single soldier, is it time to formally issue an assembly order to the nearest garrison?" Zhan Ying frowned and said respectfully.
The emperor who was lying on the bed coughed twice, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's not time yet, can you guarantee that the Seven Sages King has been planning for so many years and will not install his own people in other armies? If there is, it will only make the situation more chaotic, and the gains outweigh the losses, and we will talk about it when it is really a last resort." ”
"But......" Zhan Ying raised his head, frowned, and wanted to argue, but was stopped by the emperor with a wave of his hand, and seemed to have already made up his mind. Zhan Ying was helpless, so he had to swallow all the words that came to his mouth again.
"Looks like it's time for a showdown with him, tell him I'm going to see him tonight, and let him think about what he has to say to me. The emperor said slowly, as if he had decided to put everything on the surface.
"Yes. Zhan Ying agreed, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly exited the room.
A contemporary king, a man who dreams of being a king, is finally going to sit down and talk about it, but I don't know what will happen after this conversation, and how many people will be caught up in this vortex where no one knows the end.
When the Seven Sages King received the news that the emperor was going to talk to him, there was an inexplicable trace of excitement in his heart, he knew that this moment had finally come, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time, so long that he had almost forgotten what he had been subordinate to others for so many years.
Now, it's time to set things apart and part ways with the past. Regardless of the blood or whatever it ends up in, an earth-shattering confrontation is inevitable.
Night, once again, but this time the darkness has been filled with a lifeless murderous aura, it seems that even the flowers and trees around the Shaolin Temple have become lifeless, as if they are struggling, waiting, waiting for the next time the sun rises when everything can pass. But can it really pass? Will nothing change? Maybe not.
At night, the Seven Sages were walking towards the small courtyard where the emperor lived, accompanied by Gong Jiu, surrounded by people from the Six Gates and the Imperial Forest Army, who had almost blocked the water around the small courtyard where the emperor lived, and it looked like a big net, waiting for the prey to get in. It's a trap that everyone knows about.
But the Seven Sages still walked inattentively inside, and he didn't know what was waiting for him inside, but he was undaunted, and seemed to be ready to face all this. But he is not a fool, and it is not to show that he sees death as home, but he knows that this day will have to be faced sooner or later, otherwise he will not be able to completely draw a line with the past.
Moreover, before he was ready to come here, he had already made all the preparations, and he was not completely sure, how could he come so cleanly, except for Gong Jiu, he didn't bring a single soldier, maybe this is why he hasn't had the East Window incident for so many years. The person who achieves great things will not be a person who hesitates and drags mud and water.
Soon, the Seven Sages King walked into the small courtyard where the emperor lived, and also walked into the room where many people did not dare to stand up straight, without a trace of hesitation.
In addition to the emperor who was half-lying on the bed, there were two other people in the room, namely Zhan Ying who was standing next to the emperor's bed, and Tie Xiong who was standing by the screen.
The Seven Sages King looked at the emperor who was half-lying on the bed behind the screen, and bowed slightly, perhaps this was the last time in his life, and his boundary with the past began to formalize from this moment.
"Brother Minister, I don't know how Brother Huang's health is recently?" A simple and stiff greeting came out of the mouth of the Seven Sages King, but unfortunately the taste seemed to have changed and was no longer sincere.
"Alive. The emperor also replied with a hard word, without a trace of fluctuation. But the take-off of the scene became more clear after the two of them said a word. At this moment, everyone in this room has understood that everything has changed.
"I don't know why the imperial brother came to me?" said the Seven Sages King expressionlessly, thinking in his heart all the things he could say on this occasion, although the matter had come to this, he was not willing to be the one who picked out everything.
"You are knowingly asking, so far, don't you still know your mistake?" The emperor behind the screen also said unhurriedly, in the face of the betrayal of the person he trusted the most, it was really surprising that he was able to hold his breath so calmly.
The Seven Sages King hugged his fists, deliberately pretending to be inexplicable, and said slowly: "I still hope that the imperial brother will make it clear." "It looks like everything is really still in the dark, and it looks a little innocent.
"Okay, then I ask you, why did you seal the capital, why did you control the palace, why did you release the father and son of the king of Yanmen?" A series of questions poured out like a cannon, and his emotions had changed, and he seemed to be a little more excited the more he spoke, and he couldn't help coughing a few times, and finally asked in a deep voice: "Why did you betray me?!" He finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
Hearing the emperor's series of questions, the Seven Sages King couldn't help laughing, laughing so much that his body couldn't help but tremble, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, and then looked curiously at Emperor E behind the screen, and asked with a sneer: "Betrayal? I have never betrayed anyone, I just always know what I should do and what I am worth doing, I am just taking back what belongs to me!"
"What are your things? What is yours? Is this throne of mine or the world? If I had known that you had such wolf ambitions, I should have persuaded my father to kill you and your poisonous mother in the first place! Otherwise, it would not be your turn to stand in front of me so unsure of life and death!" The emperor seemed to be more and more excited, and his half-lying body sat up tremblingly, and his originally hoarse voice became more and more hoarse.
The Seven Sages King snorted coldly, as if he had been stabbed in a certain part of his heart, opened his eyes angrily, looked at the emperor and said loudly: "I hope you killed me at the beginning, otherwise I wouldn't have been following you with a deep hatred and hatred, if it weren't for the Queen Mother helping your mother back then, she would have become the queen? Can you become the emperor? Joke! These originally belonged to me! I just came to take away what didn't belong to you in the first place!"
A hysterical conversation, but it brought out an unbearable past, and it completely tore the skin, maybe this was originally a predestined confrontation, but it came a little late, decades late.
At this moment, a six-door catcher suddenly staggered into the room without being called, much to the surprise of everyone present. Tie Xiong, who was standing by the screen, was about to open his mouth to reprimand, only to see that the catcher who rushed in was already out of breath and shouted.
"Oh no, the army of the Yanmen Royal Mansion suddenly appeared at the foot of the Shaolin Temple, and it has already exchanged hands with the guards under the mountain!" the catcher said in a panic with his frightened eyes, everything seemed to come a little too suddenly.
Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on the Seven Sages King's face, a hint of schadenfreude, which is why he dared to drill so unscrupulously into this trap that was obviously a trap, he had already made all preparations.
"Okay! The matter has come to this, I have nothing to say!" The emperor suddenly staggered to his feet, and almost fell headlong due to excessive force, but fortunately, Zhan Ying next to him stepped out in time to help him. Then I saw him shake off Zhan Ying, and pointed at the Seven Sages King with one hand and shouted loudly: "Take him down for me!!"
As soon as the emperor's words fell, Tie Xiong, who was standing on the edge of the screen, had already rushed towards the Seven Sages King like lightning, and the iron fist was sandwiched with the sound of the whirring wind, and attacked the jaw of the Seven Sage Kings!
The war finally began, but I didn't expect it to be ...... in this way
