Li Yun turned around and saw Dong Waner sitting upright on the phoenix throne with a solemn look on her face.
From the moment Li Yun summoned the martial arts guards to show up and show off their martial arts, Empress Dowager Dong remained silent and watched coldly.
It wasn't until Li Yun beheaded the eunuch leader En Hai in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and threw En Hai's head on the white jade elixir in front of the hall that Dong Waner's phoenix eyes showed deep shock.
But even at that time, she still looked unfazed.
After all, just as the Dongzhu Party represented by Xu Wen has 20,000 elite soldiers from Han Renlong's right army governor's office and 100,000 wolf soldiers from the Bohai Kingdom, she, the Queen Mother, has 120,000 Xuanwu Jiedushi, Dong Taigong, behind her. Military support.
Not to mention that Dong Taigong is her biological father. Han Renlong and the leader of the Bohai Kingdom may backstab the Dongzhu Party, but Dong Taigong is absolutely impossible to ignore his biological daughter.
So what if the emperor's secrets are deep and his martial arts is unparalleled in the world? That also requires the support of her, the Queen Mother, to stabilize the world.
In the ten years since Emperor Ling's reign, she has seen many coups and civil strife in the court, and this time it was just like the other times.
As the saying goes, the Queen Mother is made of iron and the Emperor is smooth. This is the confidence of Empress Dowager Dong.
However, when she saw that the emperor directly ordered all the officials of the Dongzhu Party, the Eunuch Party, and the Hou Party to be arrested and imprisoned, and the entire court was emptied out, with only 10% of the courtiers left, Empress Dowager Dong finally panicked. .
We are not afraid of the brave emperor, but we are afraid of the crazy emperor!
This little emperor has been secretly holding back for so many years. Although he already has such strong martial arts, he has always been low-key and cowardly. He has secretly won over many courtiers and even became the leader of the martial arts alliance.
The depth of his scheming is simply breathtaking.
And enduring the humiliation and burden for so many years has probably made him crazy, and he might even go on a killing spree without hesitation.
Even she, the Queen Mother, might be involved.
He must be reminded verbally!
The Queen Mother had a lot of thoughts in her mind. She looked at the emperor in front of her calmly and said warmly:
"After all, Ai Jia is the Queen Mother of the Wu Dynasty. No matter what, the Emperor will call me Queen Mother. When the court is in danger and the country is in danger, I have to remind the Emperor that running a big country is like cooking small dishes. Don't be too hasty."
Then he said slowly:
"The Ai family originally thought that the emperor was too young to take on the heavy responsibility of the world's peril. Since the emperor is the emperor of heaven and has endured till now, and once he soared to the sky, his influence spread all over the world, then the Ai family, as the Li family, must also fully assist emperor."
"Whether they are some loyal ministers and good generals in the court, or elites in the Xuanwu army, or even talented people in the Xuanwu Jiedushi shogunate, as long as the emperor nods, they can enter the court and serve the emperor."
"Dong Taigong, the envoy of Xuanwu Jiedu, was originally a loyal person to the emperor and the country. He had always looked down upon the eunuchs and aristocratic families. He only wanted to kill thieves and was unable to save himself. Since the emperor has shown himself to be a heroic master, all he needs is a decree. Dong Taigong can also go to the palace to see him, and he will be the emperor's pillar."
Fundamentally speaking, Dong Waner did not lie. For a long time, even though her father, Dong Taigong, had always been disobedient and wanted to support his troops and respect himself, she was still the Queen Mother of the DPRK.
A large part of the interests of the Hou Party are bound to the imperial court, and they are also connected with some of the interests of the emperor.
At the very least, a consensus can be reached on keeping the court intact.
Moreover, among the three original parties in the court, the Eunuch Party and the Dongzhu Party will inevitably be destroyed. On the contrary, it is the rear party with the weakest strength. Once it can join forces with the emperor, it can swallow up the vacancies left by the other two parties.
The true domination of the court!
As Dong Waner spoke, she looked directly into the emperor's eyes with a solemn expression, showing her honesty.
The emperor has been able to hold back for so many years, and only now fully activates it. Obviously, he is not a madman who will lose his mind.
As long as the emperor calms down, he will surely understand that her suggestion is the safest and most in line with the interests of both parties.
I just don't know why, but after staring at the emperor's eyes for a long time, Empress Dowager Dong had a vague feeling of déjà vu, her mind was slightly twitching, and she felt inexplicable.
She had never discovered that the emperor was so heroic and masculine that he was unparalleled in the world...
At this moment, the emperor looked indifferent and said slowly:
"Don't you think, Queen Mother, it's too late to tell me this now? Oh, assist me? Are you worthy?"
The emperor's words were like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into Dong Waner's heart. Dong Waner couldn't help but look pale, her body trembled, she held on to the armrest of the phoenix chair, and whispered:
"Why did the emperor say this? Aijia's heart is full of sincerity, and what she said is all for the sake of the emperor and the country of the Wu Dynasty. After all, Aijia is the queen mother, and her mother honors the world. What the emperor said is really..."
But before she could finish her sentence, the emperor in front of her chuckled and said slowly:
"You are greedy for power, you have a snake-hearted heart, and you dare to call your mother's wife the world. This world is rotten and the government is ruined. It is indispensable that the Queen Mother's party is adding fuel to the flames. Does the Queen Mother want to expose this with just a few words?"
Empress Dowager Dong's whole body trembled, her jade hands holding the armrest turned pale due to excessive exertion, she gritted her teeth and asked:
"How does your Majesty wish to mourn your family?"
She suddenly realized at this moment that the emperor's words were as harsh and sharp as his superb martial arts!
The emperor turned his head and looked into the distance, and said slowly:
"You are the Queen Mother after all. I can't chop your head off in public for the time being. When I capture your father Dong Chao and come to Beijing, I will kill you together... But you can't live in Kangning Palace anymore. Kangning Kangning , how can a woman like you, who is obsessed with profit, be worthy of Kang Ning?"
Then he said loudly:
"Come here, take the Queen Mother to Youju Palace."
Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Dong swayed and almost fell off the phoenix chair.
The Youju Palace itself is a remote courtyard in the palace. Since the Chengzu Dynasty, it has been used as a cold palace to imprison concubines who have fallen out of favor or committed crimes.
Throughout the dynasties, at least a dozen concubines died in the secluded palace.
During the Ling Emperor's reign, it experienced several fires and fell into disrepair. It is now dilapidated and overgrown with weeds.
This is a veritable cold palace.
The emperor had completely broken up with her and wanted to throw her into the cold palace!
Following Li Yun's order, several figures from the Wulin Guards immediately jumped out, but it was several female guards who were about to take Empress Dowager Dong away.
"Bold!" shouted loudly, but the nun Jingping beside the Queen Mother held a long sword and protected Dong Waner, shouting loudly:
"This is the Queen Mother of the current dynasty, the mother of the world! Who dares to be rude!"
Then he looked at the emperor and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is the Emperor's mother after all. Aren't you afraid of being so decisive..."
Before he finished his sentence, Miao Fengshan, the commander of the newly appointed left guard of the government army, shouted:
"There are assassins escorting you!"
Before he finished speaking, he and several leaders who had also just been appointed military guards had already rushed towards nun Jingping.
Nun Jingping looked horrified. The long sword in her hand showed two feet of sword light. She swung her sword to block Miao Fengshan's long sword and said sternly:
"you……"
But before she finished her sentence, Taishan Sect leader Liu Yuanchun's long sword had already stabbed in front of her.
Nun Jingping twisted her body and barely managed to avoid the sword, but she immediately felt a chill on her back, and then her chest felt cold. A short spear with a spear gleamed out from her chest, strangling her heart. broken.
She turned her head with difficulty, with an expression of disbelief on her face, and blood gurgling from her mouth.
She is a rare innate master in the world. She has been highly respected since she became a worshiper of the Xuanwu shogunate. After entering the palace and becoming the bodyguard of Empress Dowager Dong, her status was even higher. Moreover, he has a fierce personality, and he has always been one-sided and self-centered.
Even in the palace, the eunuch leader En Hai and the young emperor were not very fond of him.
At this time, she never expected that the emperor's martial arts guards would directly kill her, and in the blink of an eye, several innate masters would surround her and kill her!
At this time, Nun Jingping finally understood that the emperor was no longer the emperor, everything had changed! Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If you are disrespectful, you will die without a burial place!
It's just that she understood it too late.
The head of the Longjiang Sect, Yu Wenji, pulled out the short spear from the back of nun Jingping, blood gushed out, and said coldly:
"Those who stab the king will be punished immediately."
The sudden change occurred, and Empress Dowager Dong didn't even react. Nun Jingping had been killed on the spot!
At this time, she hurriedly cried out in sorrow, rushed over to support nun Jingping's body, and said in a trembling voice:
"Aunt Ping...Aunt Ping..."
Nun Jingping glanced at her, blood surged from her mouth, and she completely lost her life.
Looking up at the emperor, she saw that a group of martial arts guards had already protected the emperor in the center, which was beyond her reach.
Empress Dowager Dong gritted her teeth and shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty, our Xuanwu shogunate still has three thousand dead soldiers in this capital! Does your Majesty really want to fight to the death with the Ai family!?"
The emperor paid no attention.
Empress Dowager Dong took a deep breath and continued:
"There is another mysterious person in the palace. His martial arts skills are as good as Enhai's. His whereabouts are mysterious and his purpose is difficult to understand. Doesn't the emperor want to know about this person?"
The situation of the mysterious man has always been regarded as the biggest secret by Empress Dowager Dong, but now she had no choice but to reveal it as a bargaining chip.
Li Yun turned his head and glanced at her lightly, but said nothing.
Several female guards came forward expressionlessly. Empress Dowager Dong sighed, knowing that she could not refuse, so she had to get down from the phoenix chair and follow these female guards to Youju Palace.
She also has hundreds of guards from the Xuanwu shogunate in her Kangning Palace, who will probably also face the emperor's slaughter.
After the Queen Mother was taken away, Li Yun looked towards the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where thousands of warriors in unicorn uniforms were kneeling on the ground.
It was the Chitose Army under Enhai.
Ever since Li Yun killed En Hai and threw his head on top of the White Jade Pill King, the so-called Thousand Years Army had completely collapsed, kneeling on the ground like a sculpture.
Li Yun said slowly:
"Give me a reason not to kill you."
I saw the person in front of me kowtowed heavily and said:
"Your Majesty, I know the location of the secret room of the Supervisor of Ceremonies."
