Power in the World: After Eternal Age

Liu Ni was about to enter the palace to meet the emperor, but he heard a sinister voice behind him saying: "General Liu, the emperor is offering sacrifices, no one is allowed in. General Liu, come with me!"

Liu Ni was startled, and when he turned around, he saw Zong Ai staring at him sullenly, so he had to follow Zong Ai to a side hall.

After Zong Ai took his seat, he asked slowly: "General Liu is responsible for guarding the emperor's safety, why did he leave his post without permission?"

Liu Ni hurriedly replied: "Lord Zong, when the young general was on duty, it happened that Master Jia Zhou returned from the hunting ground. For some reason, Master Jia ordered the young general to lead his troops to intercept and kill Yuan He, the Minister of the Palace, and Lu Li, the Minister of the South, so the young general I just got it back."

Zong Ai said darkly: "Then General Liu can get the heads of Yuan He and Lu Li?"

Liu Ni panicked and said, "Master Hui Zong, the young general doesn't know the reason, he doesn't have the imperial decree and he doesn't know what Master Zong means, so even though he received the order of Master Jia to stop the two ministers, he didn't dare to kill them. He just ordered the soldiers to imprison them. , to follow Master Zong's order to decide."

Zong Ai still said with a blank face: "Okay! General Liu, you have done a good job. Zong Ai will repay the emperor, and there will be rewards!"

Liu Ni thanked repeatedly, but heard Zong Ai's order: "General Liu, from now on, no one is allowed to enter the palace without my order."

Liu Ni said with a "no" and asked: "Lord Zong, the young general is taking orders! It's just that Master Zong said that the emperor is offering sacrifices inside, and the young general was confused, so I hope Master Zong will show you."

Zong Ai sneered and said: "Yes! It stands to reason that the emperor's sacrifices were originally in the Taimiao, and the palace was just a resting place for the dragon driver. Zong Ai heard that when General Liu was on duty, the emperor secretly summoned two ministers in charge of the imperial army, General Liu , what do you think the emperor means by this?"

Zong Ai was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Lord Zong, how dare the young general guess the will of heaven? The two ministers came here at the secret call of the emperor, because Master Zong was hunting outside, and Liu Ni didn't have time to report it. Your Excellency knows, and I hope Lord Zong will forgive you."

Zong Ai smiled sinisterly and said: "General Liu, you have done a good job! Zong Ai is here to tell you the truth! Zong Ai has been loyal to my Great Wei all his life, and helped the new king ascend the throne."

"Who would have thought that the flying birds would be exhausted, and the good bow would be hidden; the cunning rabbit would die, and the lackeys would cook! The emperor actually listened to the rumors of the rebels in the court, and wanted to kill Zongai. The emperor kept secret, who was he afraid of? Not Zongaier, he was really afraid of being in charge. Liu Ni, General Liu of the Imperial Guard! Therefore, the emperor secretly summoned two ministers, wanting to respond internally and externally, and kill Zong Ai in one fell swoop. If Zong Ai dies, will General Liu be able to survive?"

Liu Ni was shocked and knelt on the ground in fright.Zong Ai said coldly: "Zong Ai came back from the hunting ground and wanted to see the emperor, but he was blocked by the emperor's personal guards, who said that the emperor was not in good health and was praying to the ancestors in the palace, and no outsiders should disturb him. Zong Ai thought this was the emperor Worshiping to heaven and earth, I want to attack Zong Ai!"

Liu Ni tremblingly said: "Lord Zong, what should Liu Ni do?"

Zong Ai stood up and supported Liu Ni, and said with a smile, "Don't panic, General Liu! The emperor worships the heaven and the earth, how can there be no one around to perform sacrifices? Although the emperor ordered the guards not to allow any outsiders to enter, Jia Zhou is not an outsider from the Yellow Gate." Officer, I have already entered to serve the emperor! It won't take long, and the results will come out!"

Liu Ni was terrified, knowing that something was wrong, Zong Ai probably ordered Jia Zhou to kill the emperor.

Sure enough, not long after, Jia Zhou came out from the palace.Jia Zhou came to Zong Ai and was about to speak when he saw Liu Ni standing behind Zong Ai, he immediately silenced.

Zong Ai said: "Lord Jia, General Liu is one of his own, but it's okay to say it!"

Jia Zhou said in a low voice: "Lord Zong, it is as you expected. Jia Zhou entered the palace and saw that the emperor was burning incense and praying to heaven, vowing to kill you, Lord Zong. Jia Zhou followed the wishes of Lord Zong and made a decisive decision to sacrifice to the emperor. He Dinghong was poured into the wine pot. After the emperor prayed, he sprinkled wine to worship the ancestors, and drank a cup himself. At this moment, the medicinal properties have been released, and the emperor has already controlled the sky!"

Liu Ni screamed in fright, and Zong Ai said with a gloomy face: "General Liu, don't panic! The current emperor wants to put Zong Ai to death, so don't blame Zong Ai for being ruthless! General Liu, to tell you the truth, Emperor Taiwu was so ruthless back then. Zong Ai is wise and powerful, killing him is like killing a chicken, not to mention the new ruler Tuobayu? Wait for Zongai to think about it and establish another new ruler, and the world will be fine, General Liu, you will also be promoted!"

The doubts in Liu Ni's heart were finally resolved at this time, which confirmed the original conjecture in his mind that Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao was indeed killed by Zong Ai.Liu Ni was not an evil person at first, but he fell into the trap of Zhongzong's love and was manipulated by him.Seeing that Zong Ai was in a frenzy, in just two years, he killed two emperors one after another, which was outrageous. Liu Ni knew that Zong Ai would kill himself if he did many injustices. It is suggested that Tuoba Jun, the grandson of Emperor Taiwu and the king of Gaoyang, be made emperor.

When Zong Ai heard this, he said angrily: "General Liu, don't talk nonsense! If Gaoyang King Tuoba Jun is established as emperor, and when his wings grow, will there be a place for Zong Ai to settle down? You can't stop talking about this matter." Ti, after I return to Beijing, I can just choose one of the princes to be emperor."

Liu Ni retreated silently, Zong Ai said in a dark tone: "General Liu, you quickly order the Imperial Forest Army Corps of the old guards to surround the palace, distribute the troops, and hand them over to Jia Zhou's command. You take another team and quickly go to kill Lu. Li and Yuanhe went straight to the center of the capital, guarded the four gates, controlled the civil and military officials, and waited for me to return to the court to establish a new king!"

Liu Ni said "No", and quickly called a few commanders of the internal guards, handed them over to Jia Zhou to command, and led the brigade by himself to the direction of the capital.

Liu Ni was terrified and led his troops to the place where Lu Li and Yuan He were being held.He hesitated for a while, then walked slowly into the room with his sword in hand.

When Lu Li and Yuan He saw Liu Ni returning, they knew something was wrong.Liu Ni slowly raised his sword, and just as he was about to make a move, Lu Li shouted loudly: "General Liu, wait a minute! General Liu wants to kill me and Mr. Yuanhe, and we must both die clearly. I don't know who General Liu is serving!" Desire to kill us!"

Liu Ni said with shame on his face: "The two lords are important ministers in the court, and Liu Ni Supei two lords are human beings. It's just that Lord Zong Aizong ordered me to meet the two lords at the head level. Lord Zong's power is so powerful, How dare Liu Ni disobey? I hope the two adults will forgive me!"

Seeing Liu Ni's flustered expression, Lu Li faintly revealed a look of grief and indignation. She knew something was wrong, and shouted: "General Liu, although Zong Ai is favored by the emperor and kills loyal ministers indiscriminately, but now is the day of the emperor's great sacrifice." Can An Neng see the blood? Zong Ai is eager to kill his ministers, and Master Liu's eyes are full of grief and indignation. Could it be that Zong Ai killed the king?"

Liu Ni was taken aback, and suddenly burst into tears.Yuan He was shocked, he didn't expect Zong Ai to dare to kill the king openly.Although Lu Li was terrified, but the situation was urgent, he knew in his heart that only by winning Liu Ni could he turn the tide!
