Eight dead soldiers were killed on the spot, and the road leading to Cining Palace was cleared.
Eunuch Du was seriously injured and fell to the ground dying. Liu Zhaosun came to Du Xun's side and held the eunuch's hand.
"Heaven is dead, Zhu Ming, protects the Lord Protector. It's a pity that our family can't see it anymore..."
After saying this, Du Xun tilted his head, stopped breathing, opened his eyes wide, and refused to close his eyes.
The Protector leaned over and gently closed his father-in-law's eyes, and said sincerely:
"Brother, have a good journey! Don't cut your balls again in the next life, and be a man who stands upright."
Looking around, there was a crowd of people waiting. Only Zhao Yuanzhi was slightly injured, while the others were unscathed.
"If God dies and Zhu Ming dies, I will have my own protection!"
Liu Zhaosun muttered to himself, looking around at the corpses left behind by the assassins, feeling furious.
"God damn Zhu Youjian, I left you alive, but you actually want to kill me!"
It's a pity that these dead soldiers are not reliable. After eight companions were killed, the remaining assassins fled without looking back.
Lin Yu chased after him with a long sword. Pei Dahu raised his big bow and took cover from behind. Zhao Yuanzhi stood guard on both sides and protected Liu Zhaosun.
Lin Yu and Pei Dahu cooperated with each other and killed the assassins who were at the back one by one.
The four surviving assassins were like fish that had slipped through the net, and fled out of the palace in terror. Big Lin wanted to chase him, but Liu Zhaosun shouted loudly:
"Stop chasing. There are soldiers outside the palace. They can't survive! Come with me and kill the emperor!"
He looked up at the Cining Palace. The Cining Palace was right in front of him. The Apocalypse Emperor Zhu Youjian lived there and was waiting for him.
The path to revenge has been cleared, and the path to supreme power has been cleared.
Liu Zhaosun has to walk the next road by himself.
"I am going to kill the king today, are you willing to follow me?"
Pei Dahu gritted his teeth and said: "Thirteenth Master, I have been following you since I came from Sarhu. He dares to kill Mrs. Zhang. If I don't kill him today, I, Pei Dahu, swear that I will not be a human being!"
Zhao Yuanzhi said bitterly: "No one in the Zhu family is good, and they treat our Jinyi Guards like dogs. Back in the capital, Emperor Tianqi, his father, killed many brothers from Shen Baihu, and chased us to Tianjin Guards, almost killing us." Shen Baihu and Yang Jinglue even spared babies and women, and their subordinates have long wanted to kill him!"
Lin Yu said nothing, looked up at the Duke and nodded silently.
Liu Zhaosun looked sternly and said to everyone: "Okay, you are all my good followers. Wu Xiao is still in Shaanxi, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. If he dies, it will be caused by this dog emperor. The world has become what it is today, and the emperor can't escape it." It’s related!”
"There are many reasons for the regicide today. To avenge Zhang Yan, this one is enough. I, Liu Zhaosun, never kill innocent people indiscriminately, but I will never let a bad person go!"
A wisp of green smoke burned from the treasury in the north of the Forbidden City, and soon turned into a raging fire. Pei Dahu said in a deep voice:
"War soldiers guard every door of Brother's house. No one can get in. It was the eunuch who set the fire."
Liu Zhaosun asked: "Is it our internal agent?"
Zhao Yuanzhi shook his head. He had close contact with the coir raincoat guards and was quite familiar with the capital's intelligence. "The stubborn Wang Cheng'en suddenly rebelled and killed all the people who were hiding in the palace. They were not our people. It should be that the guards were stealing. The eunuchs guarding the treasury wanted to take advantage of the troubled waters."
The three of them talked as they walked, and accompanied the Duke to the front of the Cining Palace. Looking around, they saw that the Han generals and palace ladies and eunuchs on duty had long since escaped.
"Traitor, we will kill you!"
Suddenly a blurry figure flashed out from behind the large pillar at the main entrance of Cining Palace. When everyone looked at it intently, a thin little eunuch rushed out from behind the pillar, carrying a long sword that was longer than himself, and screamed at Liu, Zhao, Sun and others. People rushed.
"die!"
Liu Zhaosun stepped forward, drew his sword out of its sheath, cut off the sword in the eunuch's hand with one draw, and knocked the eunuch away with an elbow.
"This is a personal grudge between me and Zhu Youjian. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Get out!"
The little eunuch held half of the long sword, struggled to stand up, wiped away the blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and staggered towards Liu Zhaosun.
"Our family is favored by the emperor, and we don't allow you, a martial artist, to act recklessly here!"
Liu Zhaosun's eyelids twitched, his murderous intention suddenly arose, and when he saw the little eunuch swaying, he couldn't help but feel pity.
He held the Yanling knife upside down, and the handle of the knife hit the staggering figure.
The little eunuch was knocked out a few steps again. Under the gaze of everyone, the little eunuch stood up again, but his body was no longer stable.
"We are here, you..."
Before the little eunuch could finish speaking, his body suddenly shook, and then he was carried away by a big arrow.
Pei Dahu raised his big bow, but the bow string was still buzzing and vibrating.
"Things that don't overestimate their capabilities!"
Liu Zhaosun wanted to say something else, but his throat suddenly caught sight.
Zhao Yuanzhi stepped forward quickly and was about to make another blow when the Lord Protector shouted to stop him. This little eunuch who fought tooth and nail to protect his Lord had much more backbone than those Han generals and civil servants.
"Keep his body intact and give him a generous burial."
The four of them walked past the body of the young eunuch and arrived at the gate of Cining Palace. Liu Zhaosun said to his three subordinates:
"Don't interfere with the grudge between me and Zhu Youjian. I'll go in first and you stay outside. If anyone approaches, shoot and kill."
"Duke Protector, I'm afraid there's an ambush in the palace..."
Pei Dahu still wanted to persuade, so Liu Zhaosun waved his hand and pushed the door open to enter Cining Palace.
With a creaking sound, the door of Cining Palace was pushed open from the outside.
This is the second time Liu Zhaosun has come here. The last time was in the first year of Chongzhen. On the night when the Kaiyuan Army invaded Beijing, Marquis Pingliao personally led his soldiers into the palace to protect Zhu Youxiao and his queens and concubines. .
But this time, when he returned to his old place, he came to kill people.
He wants to avenge his wife.
Liu Zhaosun didn't have much affection for Zhang Yan. Apart from having fun, his impression of Zhang Yan was very indifferent.
Many times, he really didn't know what this woman was worth cherishing.
But when he learned that Zhang Yan had died, he felt as if a piece of flesh and blood had been cut out.
This woman loves him wholeheartedly, maybe she just likes her, or maybe she has other motives. He doesn't want to think about it anymore. He is used to conspiracy and conspiracy.
Now, Zhang Yan is dead, with bleeding from all her orifices. She had just warmed up the gravy given by the emperor and waited for her husband to come home and enjoy it.
Now, Mrs. Gaoming is dead and has become a horrific corpse.
If Jin Yuji is Bai Yueguang and Yang Qing'er is a political marriage, then Zhang Yan is nothing more than fireworks and food and sex, allowing him to truly taste the taste of women.
Now that Zhang Yan is dead, one of Kaiyuan's three pillars is missing.
The Protector could imagine Kang Yingqian's panicked expression and his trembling beard.
All the hard work came to nothing in the end. After Zhang Yan's death, I don't know where this power-loving supervisor will go.
According to original history, in the 17th year of Chongzhen, after the Shun army broke through the city, the God of War of Meishan cut off his daughter's arm, forced the emperor's sister-in-law Zhang Yan to death, and forced Zhang Yan to hang herself to die for her country.
In this plane, Zhu Youjian sent eunuchs to poison Zhang Yan to death.
History is always surprisingly similar.
The traveler returned to reality, and as far as he could see, the hall was in a mess.
The ground was littered with torn memorials and broken utensils. The curtains with auspicious clouds and dragon patterns swayed in the wind, and the figures behind the curtains swayed.
The body of the palace maid lay on the ground, with pools of blood making people dizzy.
Liu Zhaosun didn't care whether these were the concubines of Emperor Tianqi, and shouted to the curtain:
"Zhu Youjian, get out!"
The shouts echoed in the hall, as if they were alive and did not leave for a long time.
"Zhu Youjian, get out!"
The Yan Ling knife slashed at the curtain, slashing left and right until the blood-stained curtain was chopped into countless pieces.
Zhu Youjian sat quietly behind the screen, and Emperor Tianqi sat on a pear wood armchair, with disheveled hair, a long sword leaning against the chair, and blood on his face and body.
"You beast, you want to kill such a palace maid before you die!"
Zhu Youjian grabbed the sword and pointed it at the Protector, his imperial aura not diminishing at all.
"Those are my concubines, I can't let them be humiliated!"
Liu Zhaosun's mouth was wide and his throat was squirming.
"Liu Zhaosun! You beast! It's too bad that I can't kill you today. The eight hundred thousand vassal kings and clan members will kill you, and the people's moral principles will also kill you! Liu Zhaosun, you..."
The Protector looked at Zhu Youjian with a distorted expression. Zhang Yan's bleeding eyes appeared in front of his eyes, and his expression became ferocious.
The two madmen glared at each other:
"My, my, my, my, my! Zhu Youjian, I was going to send you to Jeju Island to reunite with your brother, but you actually want to kill me!"
"I have worked hard to maintain the situation. The rebellion in the southwest has been suppressed in the southwest. When the rebellion in Liaodong started, I attacked and destroyed Jiannu. Now I am dealing with the Rakshasa Kingdom and the red-haired barbarians, but you have been restless and always wanted to kill me!"
Liu Zhaosun slashed off a strand of Emperor Tianqi's hair with his sword and said angrily:
"Just kill me. I also want to kill Mrs. Gaoming, Zhu Youjian. Do you know that without me, how many people in the world would be kings and emperors?"
Zhu Youjian looked at the broken hair falling to the ground, raised his sword, pointed at Liu Zhaosun and cursed:
"Liu Thief, you thief, your father, the emperor, and my brother were killed by you, but you still have the nerve to talk so shamelessly here!"
"When I was King Xin in Henan, I never thought about avenging my father and brother. Since the day I ascended the throne, I have been thinking about how to bring you down!"
Liu Zhaosun raised his Yanling sword and cut off the sword in Zhu Youjian's hand at waist level.
"I can forgive everyone else, except you."
"On your way to Huangquan, remember to explain to your father why I killed you."
After Liu Zhaosun said this, he put away the knife and dropped it. Emperor Tianqi's body and head were separated, he kicked his feet a few times and fell to the ground.
Liu Zhaosun raised his head and looked around.
In the corner of the hall, a woman was sobbing softly.
"Who are you?"
The Protector stretched out his wild goose feather sword and picked it on the woman's back.
"Turn around, I, Liu Zhaosun, will not kill women!"
Queen Zhou turned around with a look of resentment on her face and clenched the dagger in her hand.
"Your husband killed my woman, and I will seek revenge on him. I won't kill the woman. You can go and go back to Zhou Kui's house. I won't kill you."
Liu Zhaosun stretched out his hand to grab the dagger.
"Liu Thief, you will not die a happy death!"
Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and Queen Zhang had stabbed the dagger into her neck.
"you·····"
When he reached out to stop him, the dagger had already cut his throat, and a stream of blood spurted onto Liu Zhaosun's face.
The queen collapsed to the ground, making a gurgling sound from her mouth, and her bright black eyes stared at the Lord Protector until they lost their luster.
"ah!"
Liu Zhaosun swung his knife and chopped the surrounding tables and chairs into pieces.
Half an hour later, Lord Protector walked out of Cining Palace and said to Pei Dahu, Lin Yu and others:
"The great revenge has been avenged. Now go deal with Zhang Chun, this ungrateful bitch. The emperor was forced to death by this person. He will pay for the emperor with his life!"
