Li Xi led the troops into the city, and Zhao Wanyong posted a list to recruit them. Li Shujiu and Li Shangxian in the palace were panicked. Why did the foreign troops come so quickly, and Jin Pingchun in the city rebelled halfway. The situation that was supposed to be good, changed the next day.

After learning that Li Xizhu and Zhao Wanyong had entered the city, Jin Pingchun took the initiative to withdraw his troops, restrained the soldiers and horses to the east gate and barracks, and informed them of the safety of Hong Jinglai's family members and other important figures.

This gesture made Li Xizhu a little unsure, while Zhao Wanyong had some expectations in his heart, but he couldn't make it public. However, the truth cannot be hidden, and it will be clear as long as he investigates later.

Not to mention anything else, Li Xizhu immediately sent Han Wushi to send all the family members under Jin Pingchun's care to Zhao Wanyong's house for resettlement, and sent 500 soldiers and horses to protect him. At the same time, he began to march into Beicheng, attacking the soldiers and horses under Li Shangxian's command, and some of them. A ragtag gathering of royalists attacked.

Li Xi was born as a businessman and was a rough guy, but he didn't have as many worries as Hong Jinglai, or considerations about the future political situation and situation. He only has one goal now, to find his good brother Hong Jinglai!

As he entered the city, Jin Zaichang, Han Que, Cui Zhengji and other civil servants under Hong Jinglai also gathered under his command, running for him to jointly search for Hong Jinglai's whereabouts. At the same time, Li Xizhu also sent a message to Li Jichu who was leading troops in Qingzhou. Return to Hanyang and suppress the rebels.

Under Li Xizhu's attack, the ragtag crowd in the North City could only be described as devastated. Their resistance hardly caused much waves. Rather than suppressing the rebellion, it was more like an armed parade. The Dutch-made bronze rapid-fire cannon opened fire After a few shots, the soldiers and horses fled.

It takes more than twice as much time to capture them as it does to defeat them!

The first thing that was confirmed was that Li Xianghuang was killed. This didn't matter in Li Xi's eyes, but one clan member died. The Li family had more than 60,000 to 70,000 clan members, so it didn't matter if a few died. As for the most important thing, Hong Jinglai The whereabouts of the captured soldiers were unclear. They only said that they seemed to have been killed, but they seemed not to have been killed.

Anyway, there was a chaotic fight all night, from midnight to daytime. At first they were arresting people, but then they started fighting in a haphazard manner. The reason for the fighting was not known.

If you can’t get news outside the palace, you can only go inside the palace!

At least one fact is clear. It was because Hong Jinglai learned that there was a fire in the imperial kitchen that the palace sent people to go to the palace gate to greet Li? If the palace didn't know about this at all, or Without participation, it is simply impossible. Li? He must know something.

Regardless of why he couldn't bring troops into the palace, Li Xizhu just defeated the imperial guards, took over the Honghua Gate, Mingzheng Gate, Qinzheng Gate and other palace gates, and entered the Qinzheng Hall. On the one hand, he sent troops to protect Princess Hong Miaozhen and the king. The concubine Huiqing went to the Hong family while searching for the whereabouts of Li?

Of course, Li Shujiu had been hidden by Li Shangxian and Li Shujiu. Li Shujiu was ready to stage a scene of scolding Hong Jinglai at the palace gate. Unfortunately, Li Xizhu didn't give him a chance. When Li Shujiu appeared, he punched Li Shujiu. The old bone was broken into half.

Before Li Shujiu could say anything, the tiger and wolf soldiers on the left and right swarmed forward and tied up the dignified clan eunuch. Without saying a word, they were just two big-eared melon seeds. Without asking any questions or giving Li Shujiu a chance to speak, Another unreasonable beating. It was not until Li Shujiu screamed like a slaughtered pig that Li Xi stopped.

As the saying goes, under three trees, there must be something gained. Li Shujiu can be regarded as a person with a bit of backbone, but Li Xi didn't answer a question, and four or five scabbards were slapped on his head and face. After this, Li Shujiu spoke.

First, he revealed the whereabouts of Li Shujiu and Li Shangxian, and then, unable to withstand the beating, he confessed the news that Hong Jinglai had died in the battle. Li Xi was so angry after hearing this that he stepped forward and stepped on Li Shujiu's face, wiping his tears. Hong Jing came and ran to where he was. Another team went to capture Li Hu and Li Sangxian.

After Hong Jinglai's body was discovered in the palace, the generals felt as if they were struck by lightning. Hong Jinglai, a great man, died in the end at the hands of a weakling. What a misfortune!

There is nothing more to say. Li Xizhu did not listen to any persuasion at all. In his simple materialist values, blood debt must be paid with blood. Hong Jinglai was killed, and those ambitious elements who participated in the rebellion knew or even did not know, but they were just Anyone who has anything to do with the rebels should die!

Bloodbath in Hanyang!

The Jinghua nobles and Li clan members were not subject to any interrogation that night, but severely beat Li Shujiu and Li Shangxian. Anyone whose name they heard was immediately arrested, pushed to the stone steps of the Forbidden Bridge, and executed.

The killing lasted until midnight, and the execution knives had been cut to the point where the curled edge could no longer be used. They simply tied the hands of the people, covered their heads with cloth bags, and pushed them directly into the muddy water to drown them. Thousands of corpses were piled up outside the Honghua Gate, and blood flowed horizontally. There were no legs, and the road was slippery and unwalkable.

Li Xianghuang was also found and tortured by cutting into pieces five oxen. Li Shangxian and Li Shujiu were beaten to death and then chopped into pieces and fed to dogs.

In just one night, Li Xizhu killed all the powerful members of the imperial gentry and the Li clan in the entire Youming Dynasty. No less than a thousand families were wiped out, and the umbrellas were high. The first time everything was gone.

Except for the survival of a few dozen Yangban families who were completely on Hong Jinglai's side, the influence of the Beijing gentry and relatives and clansmen who had been entrenched in the Hanyang court of Yuming Joseon for more than 400 years were uprooted.

As for Jin Pingchun, he took the initiative to confess his role in the matter. Li Xizhu was furious and prepared to kill him with a knife. But in the end he was persuaded and was only sentenced to be exiled 2,000 miles to Niudao. An The last spark of the Dong Kim family in North Korean politics was extinguished and became completely unknown.

In the end, Li Xi, who was the king and knew everything, according to the wishes of Li Xizhu, who already had all the military power in the world, strangled him to death and pulled him down on the spot. Anyway, Hong Miao already had a child in her belly, so it was not a big problem. If it doesn't work, the Nanyan King Li Qiu that Hong Jinglai prepared before can also be used. After all, he is not bad at being a king.

Zhao Wanyong persuaded him that Hong Miaozhen was not sure that the child was a son, and it would not be too late to think about it after the son was born. Then it would be justifiable to kill Hong Miaozhen suddenly and put Hong Miaozhen's child on the throne.
