Kyoto Yangxin Hall.
Zheng Dehai stood guard at the door, watching eagerly, not daring to slack off at all, even if it was a fly, he would reach out and swat it to death.
But in the Yangxin Hall, someone who shouldn't be here came today.
The man did the math with his fingers and said with a smile: "At this time, the two of them have probably gone to find the Marquis of Zhennan."
This man is clearly the prime minister of the current dynasty.
The old emperor glanced at Li Xiang, but he looked a little lonely. He sighed and said with emotion: "They were all the subjects who followed me to conquer the world..."
These old comrades-in-arms have all followed the old emperor in the north and south, and have experienced too much life and death. Without them, the world would not be what it is now.
But in the end, the fate of these old comrades was not good.
At least, Zhennanhou will not survive tonight.
Li Xiang also sighed and said: "The world has been peaceful for too long. There are always some people who can't sit still and want to make some moves and cause some storms. It would not be a pity for such people to die."
The old emperor remained silent.
Li Xiang said: "Old Sun, you gave birth to a good son, but he didn't think he could sit in that position. After all, he saw something wrong when he was young and walked on another road. At this time, you This father, really don’t want to drag me back from that road?”
The old emperor said softly: "Why don't you want to? It's just... I want him to figure it out for himself."
Li Xiang smiled slightly and shook his head helplessly.
Li Xiang changed the subject and said: "Tomorrow's court meeting, I'm afraid it won't be possible if you don't show up."
The old emperor nodded.
After tonight, the terrifying news that Zhennan Hou was killed will spread throughout the streets and alleys of Kyoto in less than half an hour.
The Marquis of Zhennan has a very high prestige among the people. If he dies, it will definitely cause panic and dissatisfaction among many people, and they will definitely force the court to give an answer.
In addition to Zhennanhou, the faction of Wenruhou is even more troublesome.
The Zhennanhou faction is just a bunch of warriors. If there are any tricks, there are not many, but the Wenruhou faction is more difficult to deal with. They are all scholars who can talk about the dead and incite public opinion. , the most expert.
Li Xiang asked: "Have you decided how to deal with Marquis Wenru?"
The old emperor shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it for the time being. Let's move the whole body."
Marquis Wenru was not only a Marquis Wenru, he was also the teacher of the third prince.
In the eyes of scholars in Kyoto, the former third prince was naturally the one who most deserved to sit on the throne.
If Wen Ruhou is to be executed, the scholars in Kyoto must be taken into consideration.
One ring within another.
Things are far from as simple as imagined.
Li Xiang whispered: "I have a clever plan, do you want to hear it?"
The old emperor curled his lips and said, "Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly."
Li Xiang spoke so softly that the old emperor even held his breath and listened attentively. However, after hearing Li Xiang's thoughts, the old emperor's face was obviously more relieved.
"Then I will do as you say." The old emperor sighed: "If they have any dissatisfaction, I will apologize to them when I get to the underworld."
…
…
In Zhennanhou Mansion, this place has long been reduced to a bloody purgatory.
Bodies lay scattered on the ground.
The guards in Zhennanhou's mansion were not as good as those killers, so it was naturally much smoother for Gu Xiaotian and Sun Gusheng to deal with them.
At this moment, they had arrived in front of Zhennan Hou's house.
Lin Daofu listened to the fighting outside and never showed up.
Gu Xiaotian kicked open the door, and Zhennan Hou was standing there with a gloomy look on his face.
Sun Gusheng said apologetically: "Uncle Lin, I'm sorry to bother you."
Lin Daofu snorted coldly, "Sun Gusheng, I can't bear to be called Uncle Lin. You should know what your crime is if you break into the Marquis's residence without permission."
Sun Gusheng nodded, "Of course I know, but since Uncle Lin sent people to kill me, you should also know what the crime is."
Lin Daofu waved his hand and said in denial: "It's a joke, you said I sent someone to kill you, do you have any evidence? But you broke into my mansion today, I have solid evidence!"
Gu Xiaotian laughed, pointed at Lin Daofu's nose and cursed: "You old fool, you are still the dignified Marquis of Zhennan, why don't you dare to admit what you have done?"
Lin Daofu scolded angrily, and a wave of energy spread throughout his body, "Who do you think you are, worthy of pointing at my nose and talking?"
Lin Daofu was still a martial artist after all, and his energy was already lingering in the room.
Gu Xiaotian silently held the scabbard with his hand and asked, "Is Mr. Lin planning to take action?"
Lin Daofu said angrily: "No matter what, you two must die tonight."
"Sun Gusheng, do you really think you are worthy of sitting on that throne?"
Sun Gusheng shook his head, "Uncle Lin, I know, I'm not qualified yet."
Lin Daofu smiled slightly and was about to speak, but Sun Gusheng stepped in and said, "But for the sake of this world, only if I sit on that throne will the world get better and better. Your previous generation worked hard We can only hold on to the country we have worked so hard to win!”
Lin Daofu was startled, not expecting Sun Gusheng to reply like this.
After that, Sun Gusheng walked to Gu Xiaotian, gently pressed his hand on the sword, and shook his head at him.
Gu Xiaotian was pleased and released his hand holding the scabbard.
Looking at Sun Gusheng's actions, Lin Daofu sneered: "Sun Gusheng, do you really think you can beat me?"
"You are still far from your elder brother!"
Lin Daofu roared loudly, his energy and blood surged in all directions.
Sun Gusheng remained silent and just made a fist move.
At this point, Lin Daofu didn't say anything more. He suddenly flashed and galloped towards Sun Gusheng, not hiding the murderous aura released from his body.
As the former general of Zhennan, it goes without saying that Lin Daofu's level of martial arts was the highest among the four generals. After so many years, although he cannot take a step forward, he still has the highest level of martial arts. Never slacked off even a moment.
As a general, Lin Daofu's moves were not flashy or sloppy at all. Instead, he suddenly hit Sun Gusheng in front with great force.
The moment the two collided, Lin Daofu raised his fist and struck Sun Gusheng in the face.
Sun Gusheng took a deep breath, his energy flowing throughout his body, and he raised a palm to slap Lin Daofu's forearm.
Click.
There was only a sound of bone cracking, and Lin Daofu's arm was completely broken.
But Lin Daofu just gritted his teeth and quickly raised another fist to attack Sun Gusheng.
Sun Gusheng crouched down slightly, then slumped his shoulders and bumped into the opponent's heart. Lin Daofu felt the killing intent, immediately leaned back, and then kicked out.
Gu Xiaotian was still a little wary at first, but after seeing this scene, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and watched the two fighting with interest.
Lin Daofu's kick was powerful and heavy, but Sun Gusheng used his strength very cleverly to hold the thigh tightly in his hand, then raised his elbow and smashed it towards the thigh.
The heart-pounding pain finally made Lin Daofu cry out, and then he fell to the ground.
But at this moment, Lin Daofu also knew in his heart that if he fell down like this, his life would really be over.
When a person is about to die, no one knows how much potential he can unleash.
At this time, even though one of his legs and arms was broken, Lin Daofu was still punching, even faster and with greater force than before. For a while, the shadows of his fists continued to hit Sun Gusheng.
Sun Gusheng retreated continuously, but Lin Daofu was like a god of war possessing him at this moment, still chasing Sun Gusheng relentlessly.
When Sun Gusheng retreated to the door, he just glanced at his feet, only to find that Lin Daofu had already reached in front of him, and that punch was hitting his heavenly spirit.
Sun Gusheng hurriedly lowered his head and dodged, but the door behind him was tormented, and it was blown to pieces by Lin Daofu.
Lin Daofu, who had been attacking for a long time, gradually weakened, and because the wood chips flying in the sky after hitting the wooden door caused some interference to his vision, he had to slow down at this moment.
But this delay gave the other party a chance.
Sun Gusheng dodged and came behind Lin Daofu, then pulled Lin Daofu forward and pulled Lin Daofu in front of him, and then punched Lin Daofu continuously.
The fists like raindrops fell on Lin Daofu. Lin Daofu suddenly lost the ability to resist, and blood kept pouring from his mouth.
As the last punch fell, Lin Daofu flew out of the door.
Lin Daofu stood up with difficulty, holding his chest, and looked at Sun Gusheng in front of him.
This good-for-nothing second prince has such a high talent in martial arts? !
He had fought like this before, but Sun Gusheng had always had some strength left. Where was his end?
Thinking about the fight between him and the eldest prince back then, although he lost, at least the eldest prince was not as relaxed as Sun Gusheng was today.
Sun Gusheng stood there, silent and expressionless.
Gu Xiaotian chuckled, at this time, he had to take action.
He walked up to Lin Daofu, grabbed Lin Daofu and threw him back into the room.
Lin Daofu shouted: "Sun Gusheng, I am the Marquis of Zhennan, you can't kill me!"
At this moment, Sun Gusheng had an indifferent look on his face. He was no longer the submissive person he was before. Instead, he seemed to be a different person. He said in a cold voice: "Uncle Lin, if you don't want to kill me, I won't kill you."
"If there is no result in the murder of the prince, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit on that throne, and the courtiers won't trust me either."
Lin Daofu cursed angrily: "Sun Gusheng, you are not worthy of sitting on that throne. The old emperor is really shocked. Why do you think so highly of you!"
Sun Gusheng sighed: "Father naturally has his own ideas."
Then, he looked at Lin Daofu, and suddenly a trace of regret flashed through him, and finally he just said softly: "Uncle Lin, I hope you can let go of your grudge against me in the next life."
…
…
One night is actually very short.
But this night in Kyoto seemed extremely long.
Wen Ruhou Zhang Xi had not slept all night, and his genius was slightly bright. He had already put on his official robes and left the house, waiting in front of the palace early.
At some point, light rain started to fall in the sky.
As time passed, more and more courtiers came to the palace. If you look carefully, these courtiers who came so early all had more or less dark circles under their eyes. It was obvious that they did not sleep much last night. for the sake of.
Naturally, these courtiers were from the lineage of the former Three Princes and Wenruhou Hou.
When the time came, Zheng Dehai opened the palace door and shouted: "Go to court!"
Some people died, but not completely...
