Chapter 167 Kill, kill, kill me(1/3)
The eyes of the surrounding soldiers from the Beijing camp also fell on Li Huan opposite him and the group of royal guards behind Li Huan.
Compared with Chang Ningbo and Gao Changsheng, these soldiers were more able to feel the murderous aura emanating from the imperial guards across from them.
Especially those with sharp eyes saw that many Jin Yiwei's bodies were stained with blood.
Where does this blood come from?
Gao Changsheng raised his head. He was the majestic Uncle Chang Ning. He was scared to death by the British Duke Zhang Mao, so that was fine. Who would let him be the British Duke who was the first noble?
Coming from the title of Duke of England held by Ningbo Bi's family, he was like a man in heaven and on earth.
But just because he couldn't offend the British duke, it didn't mean that he was afraid of Li Huan.
So what if Li Huan was a royal guard? He had his own soldiers by his side and soldiers from the Beijing camp behind him. And in front of the palace gate, he didn't believe that Li Huan dared to hurt him in the slightest.
The soldier guarding Gao Changsheng suddenly turned cold and his eyes were full of disbelief. He suddenly pulled Gao Changsheng back and screamed: "Stop them.
Stop them quickly!"
A cold light flashed in Li Huan's eyes, and the embroidered spring knife in his hand flew directly across the sky, and he slashed at Gao Changsheng without hesitation.
"Since you want to die, then go and die!"
Li Huan's voice was cold and heart-stopping. Gao Changsheng opened his eyes wide and looked at the sword light falling towards his neck with a stupid look on his face in horror.
Almost instinctively, Gao Changsheng screamed: "Help, the murderer Li Huan is crazy!"
In the imperial city, in a side hall, Chief Assistant Li Dongyang, Pavilion Elder Yang Tinghe, Fei Hong, Mao Ji, Liang Chu, Liu Zhong and others were discussing matters within the court.
Now that the emperor is unconscious, the queen mother has entrusted the government affairs of the court to Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others. Naturally, these few people did not dare to neglect and temporarily moved the cabinet to this side hall.
While keeping an eye on the emperor's situation at all times, he was also handling government affairs. At the same time, he would also take the initiative to ask the Queen Mother Zhang for advice on some matters.
At this moment, Fei Hong was stroking his beard and said to Yang Tinghe: "Brother Jiefu, regarding the handling of Liu Jin and his party, the Third Division has come up with a final conclusion. I also asked two adults to review it and ask the Queen Mother to review it, so that Liu Jin can be dealt with early."
One party.”
Yang Tinghe looked at the thick case handed over by Fei Hong and nodded slightly: "Okay, I will review it as soon as possible and then ask the Queen Mother to make a decision."
Fei Hong nodded, with a slight smile on his face, and said with a slight sense of relief: "This time the eunuchs in the court have been almost wiped out. It can be said that the world is clear and peaceful, and the world is safe and peaceful. We are not worthy of serving as officials."
field."
Liu Zhong, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion who was in charge of Zhan Shifu, heard this and chuckled: "Liu Jin has been suffering for a long time in the world. We can be regarded as eliminating a big trouble for the people of the world."
When Mao Ji, who was walking over with a stack of official documents, heard this, his expression showed a bit of sternness and said: "First of all, let's get rid of Liu Jin, and the next one is the murderous maniac Li Huan. We will never spare this traitor."
When they heard Mao Ji mention Li Huan, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
Compared with Liu Jin who was in the capital and brought trouble to the court, Liu Jin did much more harm than Li Huan did, but for some reason, the hatred of the officials towards Li Huan was stronger than that of Liu Jin.
It can only be said that Li Huan acted too unscrupulously, killing people and ransacking homes at every turn, and every time he still left them speechless and unreasonable if he wanted to cause trouble.
With a slight cough, Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "Everyone, please deal with Liu Jin's matter first, and then consider other things. After all, the most important thing right now is Your Majesty."
When Yang Tinghe mentioned the emperor, all the officials were silent for a while.
It has been nearly ten days since the emperor was assassinated. During this period, all the doctors from the imperial hospital made repeated diagnoses, but found nothing. The emperor has not been seen waking up yet, but he is still hanging on that breath, which is heartbreaking.
install.
After a while, Liu Zhong was heard slowly speaking to Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and the others: "You two, if His Majesty is unconscious for a long time, we must come up with a countermeasure. Otherwise, all the officials will not see the Emperor for a long time, and the world will be ruined."
Lord, there will definitely be chaos..."
Before Liu Zhong could finish his words, Yang Tinghe suddenly shouted sharply: "Master Liu, don't mention this matter again. Your Majesty is still here, how can we and other ministers have such thoughts?"
Liu Zhong cupped his hands and sighed: "I made a mistake, but this matter will eventually have to be faced, so I hope the two cabinet ministers will consider it early."
While he was talking, he saw an official walking quickly, followed by a soldier.
Hearing the footsteps, several important officials in the court looked over. When their eyes fell on the soldier, some of them showed a bit of surprise.
Li Dongyang's body is now much weaker than before, so most of the affairs in the cabinet are now handled by Yang Tinghe, so at this time Li Dongyang nodded slightly to Yang Tinghe, obviously leaving it to Yang Tinghe to handle.
Yang Tinghe cupped his hands, looked at the visitor and said, "What's the matter?"
The soldier bowed to the ground respectfully, and said in a trembling voice with a hint of fear on his face: "As I said back to the pavilion, the young one, the young one is a personal soldier of Uncle Gao. I have come here to report to you on the order of the uncle.
My lords, Commander Fan Gang of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division sent a message saying that Li Huan, the commander of the Jinyiwei, appeared at the Jinyiwei Yamen and rushed towards the imperial city with the Jinyiwei people."
"What!"
"Li Huan!"
"This is impossible!"
When several ministers heard this, they jumped up almost at the same time, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, and their eyes fell on the soldier.
Being stared at by these eyes, the soldier almost collapsed to the ground in fright.
Yang Tinghe also had a look of shock on his face, but he quickly regained his composure, looked at the soldier and said harmoniously: "Speak slowly, what is going on? Are you sure it is Li Huan who is back?"
The soldier almost burst into tears and said, "I'm just responsible for delivering the message. I don't know whether Li Huan has come back or not."
Seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions, Fei Hong waved his hands in a rather irritable mood and said: "Okay, you can go down and tell Gao Changsheng to guard the palace gate. No one is allowed to enter without our permission."
Palace, have you remembered it?"
The soldier hurriedly got up and said: "I have made a note, no one is allowed to enter the palace without your permission."
When the soldier left, Fei Hong couldn't help but said: "Everyone, isn't Li Huan in Fuzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province? How could he appear in the capital? This is simply impossible."
Liu Zhong stroked his beard and said, "I guess Fan Gang made a mistake."
Li Dongyang, who had been silent until now, looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "Jiefu, is the news you said true or false? Has Li Huan really returned to Beijing?"
Yang Tinghe said solemnly: "Regardless of whether this news is true or false, as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. Although Fan Gang has average abilities, he will definitely not be able to recognize Li Huan. I doubt..."
As they were talking, an official stumbled in, lay on the ground and shouted: "It's not good, Uncle Gao sent someone to summon him, and Li Huan led his people to kill him in front of the palace gate."
Liu Zhong, who was still suspicious just now, and Fei Hongdeng looked dull.
Then the official said again: "Uncle Gao said that he will block Li Huan from the palace gate, but I also ask you to come up with countermeasures as soon as possible. How should Li Huan deal with this."
At the same time, in front of the palace gate, a big head flew up, and Gao Changsheng still had a look of horror and disbelief on his face.
Just like the moment when Fan Gang was beheaded by Li Huan without hesitation, they never imagined that Li Huan would be so bold and kill people as he said.
Even compared to Fan Ganglai, Gao Changsheng couldn't believe that Li Huan dared to kill him.
On the one hand, he is the uncle of the Ming Dynasty, and behind him is the Ming Dynasty Honorable Group. On the other hand, this is an important place of the imperial palace. Using swords here is tantamount to rebellion. There are still a few people who dare to use swords like the British Duke Zhang Mao.
Even if it were Zhang Mao, he would dare to kill a low-level soldier, but he would never dare to kill an uncle of the Ming Dynasty in front of the palace gate.
But Gao Changsheng underestimated Li Huan's madness. Even if his soldiers reacted quickly enough, they were still one step behind Li Huan.
No matter how fast those soldiers were, they couldn't move faster than Li Huan's knife that struck Gao Changsheng's head. He raised and lowered the knife without any hesitation.
Li Huan slashed off Gao Changsheng's head with his sword, drove his horse forward without hesitation, and crashed directly into the sluggish Beijing soldiers.
These Beijing soldiers have not seen blood for many years. Although they occasionally practice, they are only a little better than ordinary people.
At this moment, they faced the elite Jinyiwei who were full of evil spirits and their hands were stained with blood. If Gao Changsheng was still alive, maybe these soldiers still had some morale.
However, when Li Huan chopped off Gao Changsheng's head without hesitation, the courage of these soldiers in the capital was completely destroyed.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My lord is dead, my lord is dead!"
The sluggish soldiers of the Beijing camp who were surrounded by them couldn't withstand the impact of the Jinyiwei. They collapsed on the spot. The hundreds of soldiers were obviously several times more numerous than the Jinyiwei, but they were killed by the Jinyiwei and ran around without the slightest daring to resist.
When Li Huan saw this, he shouted loudly: "Don't pursue me, just follow me into the palace."
Yue Buqun strode forward, holding a Xiuchun knife in his hand, with blood flowing on it, but more than a few soldiers had died in his hands just now.
He saw Yue Buqun slap his palm on the palace door, and heard the door bolt made of fine iron making a clanging sound. The palace door only shook but did not open.
Yue Buqun's expression changed slightly. This was the first time Yue Buqun encountered this scene. He seemed to have never expected that the gate of the palace was actually made of solid wood wrapped in fine iron. Even the door bolts were forged from fine iron. Naturally, he didn't expect it.
It's as easy as him breaking down the door between ordinary people.
There was a lot of commotion here, especially the soldiers guarding the palace gate who were killed and scattered in all directions. Naturally, this immediately alerted the imperial guards patrolling the imperial city.
These Imperial City Guards were carefully selected from among the Royal Guards. Due to the assassination of the Emperor, their commanders were also imprisoned and replaced by the cabinet.
At this time, Di Cheng's face was full of horror, and he shouted at the palace guards behind him: "Please work harder. If someone breaks into the palace, I will look into your heads one by one."
Although Di Cheng was parachuted in by the civil service group, his abilities are not bad. He has calmed down the Imperial City guards these days. If the situation was not urgent, Di Cheng would not use such a threatening tone.
Speak to the imperial city guards.
The news Di Cheng received from the defeated soldiers of the Beijing camp was really shocking.
Li Huan actually led the Jinyi Guards to kill Chang Ningbo and Gao Changsheng in front of the palace gate. At this moment, it was unknown whether the palace gate had been opened.
If Li Huan was allowed to break into the imperial city, just thinking of this, Di Cheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and the speed of his feet became a little faster.
From a distance, Di Cheng saw Liu Zhong, the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion in charge of Zhan Shifu, running over panting with a group of imperial guards.
When he saw Liu Zhong, Di Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went up to meet him and joined them together: "Sir, have you got the news that Li Huan killed Uncle Gao?"
"What! Is Gao Changsheng dead, or was he killed by Li Huan?"
Liu Zhong almost couldn't breathe, and was so frightened that he fainted.
