But just when he was smiling and inviting the brothel boy to give the oiran a reward, the sword flashed and his fat head flew out, causing screams of terror in the brothel.
The news of Qiangui Lin's death soon spread to Prince Yan's Mansion.
And just when His Highness King Yan summoned counselors to study the matter, bad news came again.
A General Hu Xiao from Dong Daying was assassinated.
A general of the Forbidden Army was assassinated, and three captains of the Patrol Army were assassinated.
Back and forth, five generals were assassinated in one day.
The most terrible thing is that this moment is equivalent to the collapse of most of King Yan's power in the capital's military.
Governor Zuo will not go into details. Although his second uncle is not very involved in affairs, he holds the power of the Governor's Mansion of the Ten Directions. At critical moments, he can promote the generals under King Yan to key positions.
This alone made it extremely convenient for King Yan to deploy manpower in the military.
The remaining five generals who were assassinated were also members of King Yan, and they were all powerful generals who held military power.
But there are still developments that can change what comes next.
That was also a helpless approach, although the main messengers of these assassinations were vaguely pointed at the prince and these princes.
At that distance, every time it was time to go to court, the Forbidden Army could be said to have one post every seven steps and one sentry every ten steps.
As far as assassination is concerned, I doubt that the other princes are really inferior to me.
Although only a few hundred soldiers of the King of Wei participated in the defense of the East Palace, the patrol army was inferior to the King of Wei in terms of equipment and strength. Therefore, within a short while, the two armies were in the East Palace. A stalemate formed.
There is a law, no matter what happened, we all think it was a successful assassination.
And Pu Zhenghui can also use paper cranes often, because the appearance of paper cranes will make the Dragon Qi Formation focus on me.
And when all the civil and military officials recovered from the assassination of the Minister of Rites, the Imperial College was massacred again.
At that time, even the emperor sat still and summoned the prince, King Yan, King Wu and others into the palace.
Indeed, it is important to find the main messenger. As long as the water is muddy and everyone is dragged into the water, that is the worst way to stop losses.
My son actually died, and he probably died at the hands of another son!
As for the possibility that there are no other people? King Yan had already considered that direction.
Because only the prince could master the method of triggering the dragon energy formation to kill other princes.
Because whether it was the horse supervisor or the king of Wu, I ordered the assassination.
I can only use rewards like that to try to stop the excessive behavior among the princes.
The seventy-something-year-old King Yan, who seemed to be looking very strong and sturdy, smashed his wine glass on the ground.
At that time, His Majesty the Emperor vomited blood and fell into a coma before learning the news that the two princes had been assassinated.
It is said that it is basically possible for the 8,000 patrol troops in the hands of King Yan to defeat the 1,000 soldiers of King Wei guarding the East Palace.
But that time, Fang Xiaoyue even achieved a small feat. She actually stole the emperor's jade seal, forged the imperial edict, and broke into the East Palace with a group of eunuchs in a showy manner.
The Minister of Rites, a ten-year-old man who was about to retire and return to his hometown, was killed on his way to the court with an arrow engraved with the memory of Prince Liang.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: There is no crown prince today. Long Cheng only cares about the kindness of upbringing and ignores the love of brothers and sisters... He is hereby abolishing the position of crown prince, moving out of the East Palace, and imprisoned in Tongxue Lane for eight years. , admire this!”
The next night before the princes were imprisoned, the horse supervisor caught a horse and died in a concubine's room.
What’s bad now is that in King Yan’s opinion, the other princes have behaved themselves, so they have to blame me.
Some of King Wei's defenders watched from the sidelines, but a small minority listened to the words of the East Palace Xima, drew their swords, surrounded Fang Xiaoyue and others, and were killed in a burst.
In practice, the effect of this is very bad.
This immediately shocked the civil and military officials of the imperial court, and even the emperor who had just woken up was alarmed.
As a result, the villain of the capital's palace was imprisoned overnight, and even the generals responsible for guarding the horse prison were implicated.
But it was very slow, and a counselor outside my palace came up with a bad idea: "Since the prince can find the main messenger, why muddy the water?"
In reality, some targets must be at home or in places they often go to. If the Dao soldiers succeed in assassinating them, King Yan will receive less bad news.
"False decree! That is definitely a fake decree!"
As a result, this move was used by a prince, who took the opportunity to rebel, entered the imperial city, killed all his father and brothers in one fell swoop, and successfully won the throne.
As for the three captains of the patrol army, they have a combined power of 6,000 troops!
But even so, King Yan lost his position.
Very slowly, the capital became chaotic.
That was certainly not what Hu Exin sent someone to do.
After all, it is only necessary to cut off the information channels to the palace, so the 28,000 soldiers and horses may not be able to take the palace.
The entire capital suddenly felt dangerous.
What's more, King Yan's military power in the capital only lacked the 28,000 soldiers and horses.
In addition, young officials in various ministries also suffered a series of assassinations.
To put it bluntly, it's not tit for tat.
"No one falsely conveys the imperial edict and attempts to murder the Crown Prince! Everyone in the Imperial Palace of Wei should take their time to protect him!"
Immediately afterwards, the prince, Hu E, Liang Wang and even the horse supervisor secretly assassinated the rival's retainers and subordinates.
Before learning about King Yan's power in the military, Pu Zhenghui did not wait long and immediately sent Taoist soldiers to assassinate King Yan's military personnel in Beijing.
Of course, when the prince is disarmed and sent to Tongxue Lane, his fate will be under my control.
To this day, the king of Wei is composed of eunuchs who are powerful and equipped with the best horses, armors, and weapons.
Following my order, these eight thousand patrol troops immediately launched a violent attack on the East Palace.
A martial arts master who knew he was crazy broke into the Imperial College and killed more than seventy prison students and one instructor.
What's more, the deaths of the two princes did not touch the dragon energy formation!
But it happened that the two princes were dead.
What Fang Xiaoyue never expected was that before receiving the order from the Prince's Palace, the Prince's official, Donggong Xima, jumped out immediately, waving a long sword and headed towards him to kill him.
Even though Pu Zhenghui had made great military exploits in Luyuan Province, King Yan didn't think it was surprising.
Of course, Park Zhenghui would make King Yan succeed like that.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see what happened to those who were assassinated.
"We have the rules!"
General Hu Xiao in Dong Daying was in charge of 30,000 troops. Even if Dong Daying had become extremely corrupt, General Hu Xiao could at least send 15,000 men to fight at the critical moment.
The prince was dumbfounded when he heard the imperial edict. I really wondered why my father would abolish himself.
To be honest, even Hu E had thought that King Yan was so decisive in his actions.
Before the news came out, the princes were all in danger.
Moreover, King Wu’s food has all been tested by a silver needle, and no eunuchs have ever tasted the dishes!
In response, the emperor was naturally furious.
Unfortunately, only half of it was removed.
To say that King Yu Wei can be considered a relatively powerful being.
Moreover, the Minister of Rites lived in the inner city, and the distance between his residence and the small gate of the imperial city was more than 700 meters.
That's not strange. Everyone knows that the assassination was definitely done by a competitor, but after finding evidence, they naturally followed suit and used assassination to reduce the opponent's power.
After all, there is no tacit understanding among the Xiao family.
Of course, it is certain that the whole thing is just a fight between the princes, and perhaps His Majesty's actions will achieve some results.
As the Donggong Xima was fanning, a battle soon broke out in the Donggong.
As an official of the imperial court, if someone is sure to use Taoism, I will not be an official.
As the news of the emperor's coma reached Prince Yan's palace, Prince Yan immediately gritted his teeth and issued an order.
Even the palace had to tighten its guard.
But it's always possible that His Majesty the Emperor would kill all his adult sons just because of that one, right?
If the guards around us must be extremely protective, one or two princes may not be able to die.
Then let King Yan be more certain that the murderer is the prince or King Liang.
So very rarely, as long as people are involved, the development of such things will definitely be as regressive as one imagines.
Outside the capital, 28,000 soldiers and horses are considered too many.
Pu Zhenghui wanted to eradicate all the influence of King Yan in Beijing.
Before that, King Yan had led the eight thousand patrol troops towards the East Palace in a roundabout way.
The assassination scene lasted for a full week, and even the princes, including the prince, King Yan, and King Wu were frequently assassinated.
With Hu E's death, King Yan, who was imprisoned in the palace, was extremely frightened.
The strength gap between the two sides is relatively small.
Under such circumstances, the effect of Park Zhenghui's paper cranes in the capital has also been reduced.
None of the emperors fell into a coma due to illness. Several court elders were worried about unrest in the capital, so they immediately mobilized the army to impose martial law on the capital.
Even several of the newly recruited disciples under Ma Jian's house were assassinated on their way home from the brothel.
But King Yan had no one of his own in the palace.
King Yan immediately placed his trust in the prince, the eunuch, and even the kings of Liang and Wu who were his rivals for the throne.
But the security was so tight, it was shocking to see someone succeed.
As King Yan's order came, his people lurking in the military began to move.
But now that the bad news came out, King Yan's expression changed slightly: "Who is it? Who did it?"
Since the dragon energy formation in the capital suppresses everything, any Taoist magic used in the capital will have its effect reduced by less than 40%, making it impossible to use it at all.
On the evening of the seventh day, King Wu died, having been poisoned while having dinner.
And just abolishing the position of prince and sending him to Tongxue Lane for confinement will give the prince hope, but it will be a dead end.
That is not strange. As a minister, regardless of whether it is the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, or the Ministry of Industry, we are all seventh-grade civil servants. We are protected by the Dragon Qi Formation. We are not protected by any Taoism in the capital. Impact.
It doesn’t mean that if King Yan definitely wants to rebel, those seven generals can provide King Yan with 28,000 troops!
King Yan naturally thought that it was the remaining prince or King Liang who instigated it.
Before a burst of curses, His Majesty the Emperor imprisoned all the princes and strictly ordered us to stay in the palace for half a year before leaving the palace.
It was first set up by a certain emperor for the purpose of protecting the palace, and incorporated a group of attached barbarian cavalry into the Yu Wei King.
Fang Xiaoyue is capable of forging imperial edicts. I did not directly write down the imperial edict to execute the prince. After all, if this were the case, the prince would not have many hands yet and might resist.
But in reality, except for the previous assassinations, at least 20% were carried out by Park Zhenghui's Taoist soldiers. His purpose was to fuel the flames and make the fight between the princes more and more confrontational.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Indeed, even King Yan himself only assassinated some talents who might affect our military power.
The commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army was in charge of five thousand soldiers. The military quality of the Forbidden Army was much better than that of Dongda Camp, and the Forbidden Army was originally responsible for guarding the periphery of the palace and the inner city.
I didn't do anything to Pu Zhenghui, after all, he was just a civil servant in my eyes.
Damn it, that judgment was a bad feeling for the emperor.
The movement outside the East Palace slowly attracted the attention of King Yan Longling.
As soon as the counselor said those words, King Yan's eyes lit up.
Of course, the only problem now is not to find the mastermind of the assassination.
And who of us can prevent such an assassination?
That kind of behavior is absolutely over the line.
The emperor was in a coma or waking up, the palace was in chaos, and the elders were in a hurry, but they dared to act rashly.
First, 8,000 patrol soldiers fought with 1,000 forbidden troops guarding Prince Yan's palace. At the most critical moment, Prince Yan took the lead in wearing armor and fought out of the palace. With a decisive move, he defeated the disorganized forbidden troops.
After all, everything is possible to perfection.
After all, at this time, there was not yet a thousand-man forbidden army belonging to King Yan, who was rushing towards the palace at a high speed.
Since we were outnumbered and outnumbered, Hu Exin and the ten eunuchs I brought with me were quickly killed.
As for the prince and other prince's subordinates, I will move them later.
The ceremonial supervisor, Bingbi, the eunuch Dongchang Admiral Fang Xiaoyue, was following the King of Yan at this time. His subordinate Dongchang lobbied the generals for the King of Yan and inquired about information, which can be said to have made great contributions.
Even though the princes were imprisoned in the palace, the fight between us did not disappear because of the emperor's anger.
Speaking of the 200 years since the founding of Ozawa, this was probably the most chaotic time. None of the ministers had been successfully assassinated.
Very slowly, the Liang Wang moved. After all, there have been relevant cases in Ozawa Country in the future.
But what makes King Yan vomit blood is that even if I use Dongchang's power to inquire, I can still find the main messenger.
Compared to Prince Yan's Mansion, the East Palace where the Prince's Palace is located is not guarded by the imperial army, but by the King of Wei in the palace.
According to the development of things like that, it is difficult to say that King Yan will succeed in his rebellion and ascend to this throne.
As for the concubine of the horse prison, she served a small sentence before being taken to the prison.
