Power in the World: After Eternal Age

Zong Ai was baking the stove, and ordered his confidant eunuch Jia Zhou to say: "Grandpa Jia, which general of the guard is serving the emperor today?"

Jia Zhou said in a low voice: "Master Hui Zong, the person on duty today is Zhang Ping, the former guard Zhonglang!"

Zong Ai waved his hands and said, "It's so cold outside, it seems to be still drizzling, right? Eunuch Jia, go and call General Zhang."

Not long after, Suwei Zhonglang appeared in the side hall with Zhang Ping in military uniform.He cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what orders Master Zong has for calling the young general!"

Zong Ai stood up, took off his satin robe, put it on Zhang Ping and said, "General Zhang has worked hard, protecting the emperor is of great importance, has it been properly arranged?"

Zhang Ping knew Zong'ai's power, and when he saw Zong'ai handing him the cotton robe, he felt flattered and grateful, "Master Hui Zong said, the young general dare not neglect, everything has been properly arranged. After drinking, the emperor has already fallen asleep."

Zong Ai praised Zhang Ping a lot, pointed to the food and drink in front of him and said: "General Zhang, it's cold outside the hall, Zong Ai wants to invite General Zhang to have a good talk together, I wonder if General Zhang will appreciate his face?"

Zhang Ping said in embarrassment: "Thanks to Mr. Zong for being so esteemed by the humble official, the humble official was overwhelmed with fear and gratitude. It's just that the young general is on duty today, and the guards prohibit him from drinking alcohol when he is guarding the palace. Those who disobey the order will be beheaded!"

Zong Ai smiled and said: "Is there any reason why Zong doesn't know? General Zhang, please rest assured, Zong drinks by himself. General Zhang replaces wine with tea, eats some cooked food, and warms himself by the fire. Zong Ai will never speak to outsiders."

Zhang Ping was overjoyed, Zong Ai waved his hand, Jia Zhou immediately brewed a pot of fragrant tea and served it in front of Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping cupped his fists and said: "Thank you, Mr. Zong!" After speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.

Zong Ai asked nonchalantly: "General Zhang, I heard that you used to be a general of Beiliang, and Beiliang was destroyed by our Great Wei, so did General Zhang return to my lord?"

Zhang Ping was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Master Zong, this remark will kill the young general. After the destruction of Beiliang, the young general followed the emperor of Wei, fought south and north, and accumulated a lot of military exploits. The emperor of Wei Great love, I worship the position of Suwei Zhonglang. Zhang Ping feels that he is worthy of heaven and earth, and he is loyal to me, the Great Wei Emperor, and dare not have the slightest second heart."

Zong Ai laughed and said: "General Zhang, I hope you don't mind what Zong said casually."

Zhang Ping panicked, took another sip of tea, wiped the cold sweat off his head and said, "Lord Zong, the young general has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so he dare not stay for a long time. Thank you, Master Zong, for your love and gift of tea. The young general will leave now!"

Zong Ai smiled sinisterly and said: "Zhang Ping, it's time, once the properties of the sweat medicine are on, General Zhang should have a good night's sleep!"

Zhang Ping was startled, and stretched out his hand to pull out the sword from his waist.As soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy and dizzy, and fell to the ground unconscious.

Zong Ai winked at Jia Zhou, and Jia Zhou immediately found the waist badge from Zhang Ping and clapped his hands.After the side hall, he turned out a small yellow door and saw the scene in front of him, so frightened that he prostrated himself on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Jia Zhou said with a serious face: "Xu Lin, stand up. Take this waist card and transfer the imperial guards at the gate of the emperor's bedroom. There must be no mistakes. After the matter is completed, Master Zong will reward you heavily, and even let you Call yourself king!"

The little yellow man named Xu Lin finally calmed down, took the waist card Jia Zhou handed him, lowered his head, not daring to look at Zong Ai, turned around and exited the side hall.

After a while, Xu Lin reported back: "Lord Zong, Lord Jia, the guards at the gate of the emperor's bedroom have all been dispatched."

Zong Ai said "Okay", gritted his teeth, and said cruelly: "Jia Zhou, Xu Lin, you two carried Suwei Zhonglang and Zhang Ping to the emperor's bedroom, remember not to disturb the emperor."

The two took orders and carried the unconscious Zhang Ping to Emperor Taiwu's bedroom.It was very quiet in the bedroom, so quiet that Emperor Taiwu's even breathing could be heard.

Zong Ai winked, and Jia Zhou understood and quietly exited the bedroom.Zong Ai pulled out the sword from Zhang Ping, and quietly hid it beside Emperor Taiwu's dragon bed.

Seeing the heroic Emperor Taiwu still sleeping soundly, Zong Ai's sword-holding hand couldn't help trembling.At this time, Emperor Taiwu turned over suddenly, facing Zong Ai, and Zong Ai was so frightened that he habitually knelt down and exclaimed: "The emperor spare me!"

Emperor Taiwu let out a grunt in his throat, and shouted in a daze, "Water, bring me a glass of water, I'm dying of thirst!"

Only then did Zong Ai feel relieved, knowing that Emperor Taiwu was still awake.Although he was determined to get rid of Emperor Taiwu, he was still terrified when things came to an end.

Seeing that Emperor Taiwu was about to wake up, Zong Xin was terrified.He knew that if Emperor Taiwu woke up, if he wanted to attack again, he would be asking for his own death, and the ten Zongai were no match for Emperor Taiwu.

If I give up now, can Emperor Taiwu let me go?There was a fierce struggle in Zong Xin's heart.He thought that although Emperor Taiwu was wise and mighty throughout his life, he also had countless enemies because he ruled the world and destroyed too many countries, so he was also suspicious.

If Emperor Taiwu saw that Zongai violated the palace rules and appeared in front of Emperor Taiwu's dragon bed while he was sleeping, even if Zongai hid the sword, then only Zhang Ping, the guard Zhonglang who was in charge of protecting Emperor Taiwu's safety, would Wake up, Emperor Taiwu was furious and would kill the Zongai clan.

Thinking of this, Zong Ai's eyes revealed a fierce look, he gritted his teeth, and stabbed Emperor Taiwu's chest forcefully with his sword.

Emperor Taiwu suddenly felt severe pain in his chest in his sleep, and he woke up with his eyes wide open.He saw Zong Ai standing in front of his dragon bed with a ferocious face, with a cold and sharp sword stuck in his chest, he couldn't help but yelled, and fell off the dragon bed.

Emperor Taiwu staggered forward a few steps, then fell to the ground without making a sound.Fresh blood gushed out slowly from Emperor Taiwu's chest, staining the entire sword red.Emperor Taiwu, who was sleeping soundly, was killed by Zong Ai. A rare heroic monarch in the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty died tragically at the hands of an eunuch, which also made Zong Ai the first eunuch in history to murder the emperor.

Zong Ai took a few steps back, and ordered the little yellow gate Xu Lin with a gloomy face: "Xu Lin, you drag Zhang Ping to the emperor, and put the hilt of the sword on the emperor's chest in Zhang Ping's hand."

Xu Lin was trembling and finally finished the matter, Zong Ai suddenly hissed: "Come quickly, there are rebels assassinating the emperor!"

At this time, Jia Zhou, who had already been waiting outside the palace door, rushed into the palace from outside the palace immediately with more than ten eunuchs holding palace sticks.

Jia Zhouchong was the first to stun Xu Lin, who was still standing next to Zhang Ping, with a stick. He directed the other eunuchs to strike at random, and immediately beat Zhang Ping and Xu Lin to pieces and killed them!

Zong Ai ordered Xiao Huangmen, his confidant, to rush to the place guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, and shouted: "The rebels are assassinating the emperor, all generals hurry to the emperor's bedroom to escort him!"
