Chapter 17: The Night of Bloodshed in the Imperial City
The door of the palace opened, and Yu Linjun saw the blood all over the hall and the smiling face of His Majesty the Emperor, the face that used to look handsome now had an evil look on it, even though Yu Linjun had just guessed what was happening, they still showed a shocked look.
This was the most tragic court battle in the history of the Daejin Kingdom, and the twelve-year-old emperor killed all the royal relatives and courtiers who opposed him in the imperial city, and this cruel method made the Yulin army frightened, but they knew in their hearts that tonight's killing had just begun.
His Majesty the Emperor stood up, and calmly stepped over the corpses and blood all over the ground, not caring about the blood stains on his shoes, Yang Kang came to the outside of the main hall and looked at the countless soldiers of the Yulin Army.
"Whoever you were loyal to in the past, now you can only be loyal to me, because they are all dead. His Majesty the Emperor said lightly, "Tonight, the entire Yulin Army will be dispatched, let's kill it!"
With the order of the emperor's majesty, the Yulin army on duty in the palace began to act, Yang Kang did not fully believe in these Yulin army, but he was no one available at this time, fortunately, Hou Tonghai solved a lot of trouble for him, in recent years, Hou Sanye has been mixed in the Yulin army, and he has heard of the various factions in the army.
The final dinner plan was divided into two parts, the emperor was in charge of the palace, Hou Tonghai and Wu Qinglie were in charge of the palace, and Hou Sanye invited the heads of the various factions in the Yulin army to celebrate his birthday in the courtyard of the palace given to him by the emperor outside the palace.
When the Mongolian army was besieging the city and the imperial city was under martial law, only Hou Tonghai dared to be so unscrupulous, and those Yulin army commanders knew that Hou Tonghai was a close confidant of the emperor's majesty, and they couldn't help but give him this face, so they came to celebrate his birthday. Hou Tonghai didn't know the emperor's intentions, and only thought that it was His Majesty's favor to him.
Yang Kang naturally wouldn't tell a bad person about this plan, and the real executor of the plan was Wu Qinglie.
From the list of invitations to the arrangement of the banquet, it was all controlled by His Majesty the Emperor, Wu Qinglie was responsible for supervising the implementation, and under Ouyang Feng's heavy training, Wu Qinglie's ability to do things was not doubted. What's more, he also learned to use poison in the White Camel Villa, so when the sword was full of light in the palace, all the fifty-four generals of the Yulin Army in a mansion outside the palace were poisoned.
After the careful mobilization of His Majesty the Emperor, most of the generals of the Yulin Army on duty in the palace tonight are from the army, and they have the farthest relationship with the royal family, which can be said to be the purest forbidden army, but even so, His Majesty the Emperor still can't rest assured, because once the Yulin Army mutinies. The entire Imperial City will be in chaos.
His Majesty the Emperor sent six children to follow the Yulin Army, both to assist and to monitor.
Hou Sanye, who had not yet figured out what was going on, was taken to the palace by his nephew Wu Qinglie, Wu Qinglie was also shocked by the killing in the palace, he thought that the emperor was just going to purge the Yulin Army, but he didn't expect that even those princes and ministers did not let go, this is Yang Kang's caution, he did not tell Wu Qinglie all the plans, because once this matter is leaked, he will die without a place to bury.
The good thing about Hou Tonghai is loyalty. When he realized it, he took the initiative to ask Ying to kill those who dared to oppose the emperor's majesty, and Wu Qinglie and Hou Tonghai joined in. His Majesty the Emperor is relieved a lot.
This bloody night of killing began.
His Majesty the Emperor stood outside the main hall, looking at the heavy night, the palace people stood far away, not daring to approach the side of the Emperor Majesty, in their eyes, this Majesty was afraid of the reincarnation of the murderous demon king. Yang Kang could only smile bitterly at this, if he hadn't been forced to this point, he wouldn't want his hands to be covered with blood, but since everyone had already been killed, it would be a bit hypocritical to make such an excuse.
Want to succeed in this world. Either people will support you, or people will be afraid of you, and since you don't support me, then be afraid of me.
At this time, Mu Nianci rushed over from the Zhao Palace, and saw the emperor who was trying to make people afraid, this kind of bloody killing Yang Kang did not sue Mu Nianci, not that the girl would oppose this, but there was no need to let Nianci's hands be stained with blood, and it was enough for him to bear all the sins alone.
The palace of King Zhao and the mansions of other ministers were not far away, and the screams and cries in the surrounding mansions reached Mu Nianci's ears, she knew that something must have happened in the palace, and when she rushed to the palace, she understood when she saw the corpses in the hall and the smell of blood coming out.
Mu Nianci knew that the courtiers had forced the palace in the past few days, and Akang had issued an edict of guilt, which was to prepare to leave, in the girl's opinion, it was good to leave this palace, and she could go to Jiangnan to live with her father-in-law, and the family being together was more important than anything else, but tonight's changes in the palace showed that Akang was making a last stand.
She quietly walked over to Akon's side and took his hand.
Yang Kang smiled softly at Mu Nianci, pulled the girl to sit on the stone steps in front of the main hall, the two of them snuggled together, waiting for the arrival of Tianming, although His Majesty the Emperor arranged many means, but he was still not sure, those princes have guards in their mansions, and there are also family members in the minister's house, this is a force that cannot be underestimated, if there is a mutiny of the forbidden army, the whole situation will be difficult to control.
But he has done his best, and whether he succeeds or fails depends on the will of God.
Yang Kang didn't worry too much about the current situation, this was much better than the time when he was imprisoned in the Dazong Zhengfu half a year ago, he survived the most difficult days, tonight was just another crisis for him, and he was accompanied by Nian Ci, if the forbidden army really mutinied, it would be a big deal to continue to run away.
Thinking that it will be Qixi in a few days, His Majesty the Emperor looked up at the starry sky, wanting to find the Cowherd Star and the Weaver Girl, as well as the beautiful Milky Way, maybe because the time was wrong, Yang Kang did not find it, but this did not prevent him from whispering to Mu Nianci about the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and he was idle anyway.
At this moment, the bloodstains in the hall behind them have not been dried up, and a killing is going on in the entire imperial city, and there are tens of thousands of Mongolian troops outside the imperial city, which have not affected the mood of the emperor, he is telling this old-fashioned story seriously, and wants to win the smile of the girl around him.
Finally, it was dawn.
The shouting and killing in the imperial city stopped, and the commander of the Yulin Army and the six children returned to the palace to report the situation to His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting on the stone steps telling a story, and Hou Tonghai and Wu Qinglie also returned, they were covered in blood, as bright red as the rising sun.
His Majesty the Emperor listened quietly, this night, more than 3,000 people died in the Imperial City of Zhongdu, and several Yulin troops who intended to mutiny were also killed, and the sergeants who were defending the city were not unusual, and the important government offices were guarded by Yulin Army, and the entire Imperial City entered a state of full martial law.
Yang Kang pulled Mu Nianci to get up and looked at the rising sun in the east, he knew that this time, he had won. (To be continued......)
