"This palace is the mother of a country. How can I allow you to blaspheme? Aren't you afraid of five thunders from heaven? Li Ruiyun, you are such a rebellious and rebellious traitor. Do you really want to rebel? Aren't you afraid of destroying the nine tribes? "
Tianxiao gang leader Li Ruiyun, together with Li Zhishan, Ding Jinzhi and other important officials in the court, cooperated internally and externally, and controlled the capital and Dauchi with great military strength and speed; then they stormed into the palace with great force, killing Feng Chaoying and the Queen in succession, and there was no room for explanation. The queen mother was captured and the emperor was forced to hand over the jade seal.
Listening to the Queen Mother's angrily scolding, Li Ruiyun tilted his head and raised his eyebrows, smiling. The smile on his lips made people's hearts tremble, "Yes, I just want to rebel! Since ancient times, the winner has been the king and the loser. Even though he is a prisoner of his subordinates, he still has the nerve to be shy. What do you mean, mother of a nation? Now I not only want to humiliate you, but also kill you, do you believe it or not?"
With that said, he reached out and pulled out the sword inserted into the body of Empress Zhong, and turned it to Empress Dowager Wei's chest.
His power spread out, his murderous intent surging, like a Shura from the eighteenth level of hell, bloodthirsty and cruel, several times more cruel and fierce than tigers and wolves.
Zhao Yu shouted out loud: "No, please don't hurt my mother!"
"In that case, please ask the emperor to hand over the jade seal." Li Ruiyun pressed forward step by step.
Zhao Yu was in extreme pain and hung his head feebly.
Li Ruiyun's eyes were as dark as night, filled with a thin chill that sent chills down the spine, "Your Majesty, are you still testing my patience now?"
"..." Zhao Yu's face turned pale, he was confused, and he had lost his mind.
The atmosphere in front of me is getting heavier and heavier, like the prelude to a violent storm, which weighs heavily on people's hearts. They can't turn around or shout out. Their hands and feet are stiff, and they can't tell whether it's a dream or reality.
At this time, Zhao Yu hoped that the reality in front of him was just an illusory nightmare! But……
Empress Dowager Wei said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please do not agree to him; the jade seal is a symbol of your supreme authority. If you lose it..."
Before she could finish her words, the ferocious arms of the minions holding her were already coiling around her like a poisonous snake, and they strangled her neck viciously.
Queen Mother Wei felt her energy and blood surge, screamed in pain, and fainted.
Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel heartbroken and cried out: "Mother!..."
Li Ruiyun's phoenix eyes were narrow and half-smiling, and there was a dangerous aura in his low voice. He said slowly and unhurriedly: "Why, is the emperor still hesitant? It seems that the status of this jade seal in the emperor's heart is indeed very important! It can even be worth the lives of all your closest relatives and trusted ones, Feng Chaoying, Queen, and now I’m afraid there will be one more..."
After saying this, his expression suddenly turned evil and ferocious, and he said sternly: "Here comes——"
——Should I hand over the jade seal, or should my mother die?
Moments of life and death, moments of joy and sorrow, in just one day and one night, Emperor Zhao Yu experienced from extreme sorrow to ignited hope, and then suddenly fell into an abyss - this was a state of extreme collapse that even drove him crazy. .
The tight string in Zhao Yu's heart could no longer hold up, and he shouted hoarsely: "Wait a minute!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Zhao Yu's lips moved as if he wanted to make a sound, but it felt like it was stuck in his throat. After a long silence, he finally spoke with difficulty: "Okay, I promise you, I will hand over the jade seal..."
——Finally agreed, it’s not easy! Even the most powerful people have weaknesses, including the once lofty and arrogant monarch in front of them.
Li Ruiyun breathed out a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart and laughed proudly.
The emperor only felt that his limbs were floating and he had completely lost his strength; his mind was also a little groggy, and his thoughts were like smoke flying around in circles, unable to condense into a fixed form at all. He slumped down in despair and put his hands into his hair in frustration.
Zheng Yifei burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty!..."
Zhao Yu's heart ached, and he sighed and said: "Guard Zheng, come here, I will tell you where the jade seal is, and you can take them to get it."
Zheng Yifei's legs were so numb that he could hardly walk. He staggered and dragged his floating steps to the emperor, and slowly knelt down in front of the still slightly trembling body.
The emperor whispered a few words into Zheng Yifei's ear, and then said dumbly: "Go!"
The emperor's voice was very soft, but it made him feel heartbroken; he could almost hear the other person's soul whimpering silently.
He couldn't help but burst into tears, and kowtowed to the emperor: "I obey the decree!" He stood up unsteadily and staggered towards the door.
Li Ruiyun watched every move of the monarch and his ministers with cold eyes. At this moment, his sinister gaze turned and he winked at Taoist Baiyu, indicating that he would personally take someone to get it.
What kind of person is Bai Yu who knows the elegant meaning of Xuan Ge after hearing it? What's more, the two of them have worked together for many years and have already shared life and death and have the same mind.
Seeing this, he nodded knowingly and walked forward to escort Zheng Yifei out of the hall.
After a lot of setbacks, success was almost in sight, and they would never allow any more accidents to happen at the last moment, causing the success to fall short.
Zheng Yifei was taken hostage by Bai Yu and others to the imperial study room of Emperor Zhao Yu.
After entering the door, he walked to the Imperial Bookcase and bowed respectfully three times to the mural on the wall with carvings of dragons and phoenixes. Then he stood up, carefully removed the mural, and gently pressed the mechanism next to it. A small door appeared on the wall of the mural. When you open the small door, you will find a hole in the wall with a brocade box inlaid with gold and jade inside.
Zheng Yifei shook his head and took out the brocade box, placed it on the imperial desk, and opened it carefully. He saw that the brocade box was filled with brilliance, filling the room with brilliance.
Everyone rushed forward to take a look, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Almost everyone has the same sigh in their hearts: Is this the national treasure that so many people there dream of and are even willing to sacrifice their lives for? Is this the jade seal that symbolizes the supreme power?
Bai Yu took out the jade seal from the brocade box with trembling hands and looked at it intently. He saw that this treasure was four inches in diameter and was carved from He's jade. It was moist and crystal clear. The green brilliance emitted from it made people feel a little distracted.
There are eight seal characters inlaid on the front of the treasure: "Ordered by Heaven, you will live forever"; one corner of the jade seal seems to be damaged and is inlaid with gold. This reminds him of the "gold-inlaid" incident that happened when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and seized the jade seal at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. The legend of "Jade Seal".
Bai Yu couldn't help but laugh up to the sky while holding the jade seal. The laughter was wild and loud, echoing over the entire palace. It lasted for a long time, making people feel desolate and frightened...
Thick ink clouds squeezed the sky, covering up the scarlet that had just filled my eyes. They were so heavy that they seemed to be falling, and the whole world was so oppressive that it became silent. The cold wind blew sharply, leaving people's panic behind without hesitation.
Li Ruiyun was overjoyed to have captured the imperial seal.
But at this moment, he didn't dare to get carried away. He was still very careful and extremely alert.
He called Bai Yu, Li Zhishan, Ding Jinzhi, He Yuting, Luo Fengwei, Li Yunting, Sun Xiaowen and other Tianxiao disciples, and asked them one by one about the progress of the palace coup.
The final summary result is: this operation is very successful. They have completely controlled the military, political and administrative power of the entire Ouchi Palace and even the entire capital. All the civil and military officials in the court and China have become prisoners, and they can only wait to be killed - one sentence By the way, now the entire capital is organized by Tianxiao!
Li Ruiyun nodded happily, "Great! Thank you for your help. It's just that although we have the power now, we still don't know what to do with the people's discord. I wonder what you guys have to say?"
"En-power-and-use-" Bai Yu's cold face was buried deep in the endless darkness, and he almost said every word through his teeth.
It is a combination of grace and power, just four words, but it is concise and to the point.
Li Ruiyun praised: "Well said! As the saying goes, 'shoot the man first, shoot the horse, and capture the thief first, capture the king.' If you want to conquer people's hearts, you should start with the civil and military officials."
He paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, and suddenly stopped and ordered: "Early tomorrow morning, bring all the civil and military officials to the court; everyone from our side will also go over - Li's Do you understand what I mean?"
Everyone understood the idea and said in unison: "Wei Chen takes orders!"
Li Ruiyun frowned slightly and said, "What a minister, I'm not the emperor now!"
Ding Jinzhi's oily face echoed with a gentle and humble smile, and he talked eloquently: "Since ancient times, those who hold the jade seal of the country have been pilgrims. Now that this jade seal is in the hands of Mr. Li, Mr. Li is naturally the one who carries it. Your Majesty, I am here to say long live my Emperor!"
As he spoke, he was the first to kneel down and bow down.
Seeing this, other people also agreed, knelt down and kowtowed, shouting long live the mountain.
The white feather Taoist priest on the side was a little disapproving; he glanced at everyone with a look on his face, raised the corners of his lips slightly, but didn't say anything.
Li Ruiyun felt extremely proud. But he was not dazzled by the joy of victory; he was still very rational and calm at this time.
He calmly faced the almost flattering prostrations of everyone, and said with a slight smile: "You must not be like this! Li is very grateful for your enthusiastic support. Li will not disappoint everyone's expectations, and will definitely do something great. Thank you all for your love and support.
"If one day Mr. Li is lucky enough to ascend the throne of the All Saints, he will definitely share the glory with everyone! But as far as the current situation is concerned, Mr. Li cannot ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor yet."
Ding Jinzhi asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
Li Ruiyun glanced at him lightly and said quietly: "Master Ding is a smart man. Isn't it possible that you still can't figure out the reason?"
Ding Jinzhi pondered for a moment and said suddenly: "Oh, I understand, old minister. Firstly, the time is not yet ripe; secondly, the situation is not yet determined and people's hearts are not stable. If he ascends the throne in advance, it will definitely bring about some unforeseen troubles. Mr. Li is kind and wise. , The veteran is so impressed by his foresight and foresight!"
Li Ruiyun's dark eyes were filled with layers of light, like a deep pool of water with no visible bottom. It seemed calm, but in fact there was an undercurrent surging, making it difficult to figure out.
He smiled meaningfully and said nothing...
