Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 96

The bad news brought by Si Qinmi shattered everything, Li Rusi's expression changed drastically, and Zhuang Xun's heart was also clenched.

"I want to go back..." Li Rusi reflexively said when she heard the news from Si Qinmi.

"This." Zhuang Xun suddenly hesitated.

"Calm down, calm down, I have already reminded my father-in-law, he should have countermeasures, don't be impulsive!" Zhuang Xun grabbed Li Rusi's wrist.

"..." Li Rusi was a little quiet, she pursed her lips, and her almond eyes couldn't help showing worry.

"Sister, don't be impulsive for the time being, just listen to your husband and see the situation." Si Qinmi also came over to dissuade her.

"Go to the lobby and wait, this place is not suitable." Si Qinmi held Li Rusi's hand like Zhuang Xun.

"Well..." Li Rusi could only agree first, but her heart was burning with worry.

"Report, General Nancheng leads the south gate guards to rescue Li's family. The two sides are confronting each other on the street." The messenger came in, and Li Rusi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news.

"Let's just say that my father-in-law has arrangements, so please be at ease." Zhuang Xun said comfortingly.

After the only good news left, there is endless bad news.

"Report, the south gate of Jidu was taken by the palace guards."

"Report, the Ximen defenders are fighting with the inner guards, and the outcome is still undecided."

"Report, the defenders of the east gate are fighting with the inner guards of the palace, and the outcome is still undecided."

"..."

"The inner guards want to control the city gates. Are they defending the imperial army? Has everyone heard that the Li family will mobilize the imperial army to enter the city?" Si Qinmi sighed softly. The attack and defense of the four city gates made everyone His face was ugly.

Needless to say, the north gate is the location of the imperial palace, and it should have been controlled by the inner guard long ago.

"The city of Jidu is so high that the forbidden army can't take it for a while, father, mother..." Li Rusi was also panicked by this series of news.

"Report, the guards at the south gate outside Li's mansion are fighting with the inner guards of the palace."

"This..." The most critical point was a fight, and it became a mess.

The inner guard's approach is very clear, control the four gates, not allow the imperial army to enter the city, and strangle the Li family with all their strength. As long as Li Pingyuan dies, the Li family's prestige to the imperial army will be lost, and the royal family's prestige will prevail.

The Li family's strategy was to stick to it and wait for the forbidden army of their own faction to attack the city. At least four of them were charged. It seemed that they were going to attack the city.

Hearing that the Nanmen Army and the inner guards were fighting, Li Rusi burst out with so much strength that Zhuang Xun was even tripped.

"Persuade her, don't forget the proverb." Si Qinmi helped Zhuang Xun who was tripped, knowing that Li Rusi's concern would cause confusion now, so she told Zhuang Xun.

"I'm sorry, husband, my concubine has lost her composure." Li Rusi also paid attention to her brute strength, her face was ashamed, and then her face was covered with sorrow.

The besieged Li family knew all this news.

Li Pingyuan put down the conch in his hand and looked calm. For a general of his level, these things were not enough to move him.

He was still thinking about what King Qinghe was going to do.

From the western frontier, 5 people were transferred through the report of General Zhenxi. Do you want to use this to compete for the big position?So let yourself not hold him back.

He probably knows that the city gate is in his hands, so he wants to let him into the city by himself?

After all, he is a human being, not a fairy, and this time he was also confused.

The joy and celebration turned into chill, and Li Pingyuan's seriousness showed on his face.

"Husband, can we win this battle?" Mrs. Zhu served Li Pingyuan a cup of tea with a sad face, and the mother and daughter were in the same mood at the moment.

"If we can win, the Imperial Army outside the city listens to me, and those who don't listen to me will just wait and see. Cheng Zhi has already gone to the camp with my seal. The Imperial Army is dispatched, and the attack on the city is coming soon, soon." The son came out In Chengcheng, her daughter has already married out, and she has no regrets. It is suitable to be a bait by herself.

"This emperor is also ruthless. Our family worked hard for his Dou family. You won a big victory. Now you come to kill the donkey. You are really not a man. Pity my daughter." Zhu said resentfully, worrying about her daughter in the deep palace. .

"We're fine, so is she. Unless something happens to the emperor, she won't be hurt easily, at least until we are taken down." At this point, Li Pingyuan said confidently. He calmed down the chaos of the prime minister.

"I hope, my poor son." Mrs. Zhu couldn't help crying.

"Okay, okay, this time the Dou family must pay a price." Li Pingyuan could only comfort his wife.

Maybe he didn't expect that the price Cheng Wang paid was greater than he imagined.

Facing the soldiers who met in battle, the emperor still read the Taoist scriptures leisurely, thinking about the situation of the battle in his mind. They are all extremely human ministers.

Both of them vaguely threatened the throne under him. Before the two fought without breaking, he couldn't find a chance. Now the prime minister is willing to take the initiative to provoke troubles. He is happy to see the two fight, tear their faces, and die endlessly .

But as to who can win, he has no bottom, no idea at all, he is not a wise man who has no plans, so he can only use this game.

Now it is best if the prime minister wins, he can kill the prime minister in the name of avenging the general, and without the threat of You country, he can clean up the court.

The prime minister seemed to have found a scapegoat, his own younger brother. It seemed that everyone didn't want to bear the reputation of killing loyal ministers. Is it true that the Li family used private soldiers as loyal ministers?
If this is true, it is worth considering.

"Prime Minister, His Majesty is in meditation... ah."

The eunuch's scream made Cheng Wang frowned, and he got down from the soft couch, wanting to see what was going on.

"Bang..." The door was opened.

"Your Majesty, the old minister came too late to save you, and let King Qinghe take your life!" As soon as he entered the door, the prime minister's old face began to cry.

"I'm not dead yet, the Prime Minister doesn't need to cry." Cheng Wang was terrified by Prime Minister Gao's crying.

"Why didn't you die? Your Majesty, you are going to die soon." Several heavily armored soldiers walked in, the blood red on their bodies indicated that they had suffered a massacre.

"Prime Minister, you!" Cheng Wang was frightened and his voice was high-pitched, unbelievable.

"My fatuous majesty, mobilized the inner guards to arrest the general, but was killed by King Qinghe's army led by you. The hateful king of Qinghe colluded with Youguo, and the merchant ships were armed with armor. The merchant team was actually an army. Taking advantage of the emptiness of the inner guards, he murdered Fortunately, the old minister was alert and ordered the only remaining palace guards to retreat to the Fenghe Hall to protect the queen and the crown prince."

The prime minister's words pierced Cheng Wang's heart like a knife, and Cheng Wang took half a step back, with a look of shock on his face: "You are so ruthless, you are so ruthless..."

"No matter how ruthless a minister is, he is not as ruthless as the emperor. Killing a general who has just won a big victory and is about to hand over power, my lord, it is really difficult to kill 2000 people with [-] inner guards. It is much more convenient to have [-] inner guards."

Mocking Cheng Wang's stupidity, the prime minister smiled happily. Cheng Wang felt that he was very powerful. In fact, in the prime minister's eyes, he was just a foolish king with no morals. Good stupid king, only a stupid king can do some small tricks.

"Where did you get 2000 people? Your nursing home is only five hundred, and you are still wearing heavy armor!" Cheng Wang was shocked and angry.

"Didn't you say that just now? King Qinghe smuggled it from You country, and the soldiers turned into guards for merchants. Taking advantage of the fact that the second lady of the Li family is married to Cheng Yu, there are too many merchants and they won't be able to attract attention." Prime Minister Applause.

"The armored swordsman and the gatekeepers don't check?" Cheng Wang was angry, and the inexplicable knife rested on his neck. Could he not be angry?

"Your Majesty, your sandalwood has always been tribute from You Kingdom. The jewels of the ladies and the incense cases of the princes. Are these things that can be checked?"

The prime minister didn't mind letting King Cheng understand clearly about his death. Now it is a pleasure to be able to count the stupidity of this stupid king. Although he is a prime minister, he is also a human being.

"You colluded with Youguo?" King Cheng gritted his teeth, never dreaming that the prime minister was planning to rebel against him earlier than Li Pingyuan.

Although he also felt that the prime minister threatened his power, it was more from a political foundation than a military one.

"Didn't Your Majesty know this earlier? After collecting every account from You Country, I have reported it to you, the Holy Majesty. Now I will report to you for the last time. You Country wants Li Pingyuan's life, and I want you all." Three lives."

Prime Minister Gao looked at Cheng Wang suspiciously, as if he felt that he was talking about a confusing question, but he still took time to say it respectfully, just to make Cheng Wang flush with anger.

"You want my life? I am the Son of Heaven, you want my life?" Cheng Wang was already very timid.

"Not only your life, but also the life of King Qinghe and Li Pingyuan, I want it!" Prime Minister Gao cupped his hands and said to King Cheng with a smile. In his eyes, the lives of these three people were already in his hands. .

"Your heart is so big, I don't know if you can swallow King Qinghe and Li Pingyuan. Li Pingyuan's [-] to [-] forbidden troops are waiting outside Jidu, and they have already rushed to Jidu." Cheng Wang didn't want Prime Minister Gao So happy to win.

"And you and King Qinghe's frontier army guarding the western border, my lord." The prime minister's smile contrasted with his decent face, especially treacherous!

"How do you know!" Cheng Wang was taken aback.

"Why don't you know, you two brothers cooperate well. On the surface, it looks like you are fighting to the death, but in fact, you are using the power of the family to consume it. You took advantage of it and slowly arranged people in. Once the time comes when you have to conflict , just pull Li Pingyuan out and use it."

The prime minister said in disgust that he had known for a long time that the two brothers had sang together and played together. He was just acting with the two of them and obediently made a fool of himself. Now he wants to tell King Cheng that he is not stupid. .

"Now it's time to kill the donkey. It's really great. I didn't expect that you really agreed to use the inner guards to strangle the Li family. Are you stupid? Did the Imperial Army arrange for your people to go in, or did the Western Frontier Army give it to you?" You are confident, my lord."

The prime minister laughed and said, looking at the pig liver-like face in Taoist robes, the prime minister is full of pleasure, he has always been the king's shield, and now the reward for shielding the arrow has come, such a scene can only be enjoyed once in a lifetime .

"When the inner guards come back, the frontier army and the forbidden army will come back, and they will ransack your house!!!" Cheng Wang's eyes were filled with anger, and he completely lost his composure to practice Taoism.

"Your Majesty, General Zhenxi, you forgot that you deliberately didn't use the Li family, but the people of King Qinghe. You wanted to form a check and balance, but the people of King Qinghe belonged to him? This list was chosen by the minister. "The prime minister smiled honestly, as respectfully as he treated King Cheng in the past.

"What else did you do..." Cheng Wang felt a chill in his heart and shivered.

"I have done everything. Ji Du is also a minister. In addition to the soldiers of the four sects, he also governs ten thousand people. Now let's see where the inner guards want to win. They are waiting for support at any time. Don't think about the inner guards being able to fight." It’s too late for them to come back to rescue you, the most important thing is that he was born in Qinghe Road, he is the King of Qinghe.”

The prime minister's words had no effect on King Cheng. He knew that he had already lost, and he lost completely.

"As for the frontier army, they should compete with Li Pingyuan's forbidden army, but they don't have your imperial edict. Please don't move the rest of the forbidden army who are not Li Pingyuan's direct descendants to besiege Li Chengzhi. They will fight to the detriment of both sides, and then they will be appointed by you." The left envoy, who was the commanding officer of the forbidden army, was discovered by the ministers and wiped out. Of course, General Mu will let him surrender and save it for promotion in the future, so Li Chengzhi will have to send him to die."

The prime minister didn't stop expressing his desire, he continued to talk about his plan, saying this to a dead man, an enemy, to let him know that his plan was worthless.

"How can you collude with so many people? Do you still have too little for Mu Shilin? Promise to promote him to the commander of the Imperial Army!" This is something King Cheng can't understand. He is orthodox, and he is orthodox!
"Why do you say, Hunjun! Use the green silk to show him face." The prime minister scolded angrily, and with a wave of his hand, the blood-stained sergeant showed a ferocious smile.

The two moved forward, King Cheng wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to escape.

"I am the Son of Heaven, I am the Son of Heaven, you cannot treat me like this." The fear of death crawled down my spine.

"Look at your appearance, you don't look like a holy emperor!" He gestured to press Cheng Wang in front of a bronze mirror.

King Cheng looked at himself in the mirror, wearing a Hunyuan scarf and a Qingdao robe. His former self-proclaimed immortal demeanor was completely gone. On his terrified face, there was only the humbleness of a mortal and the deepest fear of death.

The gossip mirror can't protect the body, the seven-star sword can't cut the enemy, and the silk silk, the title of big Luo that I gave myself, was torn off by the thick hands of mortals, and it became a soul-enchanting lock.

"At first I wanted you to wear a dragon robe to look decent, but later on I thought you were unworthy. The Holy Majesty, you said why your promise is not as good as the minister's, not only because the minister promised to be a general, but more importantly, where are you from? The savage way, the minister is the prime minister, how can your promise be compared to the minister, the sage said: "If you don't work hard, Xun Dunzhi, you don't want to be emperor, how can everyone respect you as the holy son of heaven."

Indifferently watching King Cheng suffocate, his eyes rolled white, his tongue stuck out, his struggle became slow, and finally he lost all strength to struggle and was strangled to death, Prime Minister Gao said regretfully.

Thinking about how to collect the emperor's body, Prime Minister Gao thought about how to forge the scene, but felt that he was thinking too much, there was no need to forge it, as soon as the queen would listen to the government behind the curtain, he would be in charge of the country's affairs, so there was no need for it.

"Prime Minister Gao, Qinghe King Dou Zhi was not found." While the prime minister was deep in thought, someone came in to report.

"I just saw him at the wedding banquet. I must find him. Someone must finish today's scene."

"Prime Minister, the Yu people have come in."
