Today, Emperor Zhao is on his deathbed. Ever since he handed over all matters in the capital to the prince, Emperor Zhao's health has deteriorated day by day.
After he was relieved of his burden, although he was light-hearted without an official position, the pressure he had endured from Shuzhou in the past few years had already caused Emperor Zhao's body to collapse.
Emperor Zhao had no ability to withstand pressure and was not in good health. In his early years, he was assisted by civil servants to rise to power. He was addicted to sensuality all day long and liked to collect various types of women to fill his harem.
It can be said that I cannot withstand a little blow, and it is quite difficult to persist to this point now.
At this time, Emperor Zhao was lying on the bed, his eyes wide open, and he looked like he was about to die soon.
Emperor Zhao's favored concubines gathered around the window, and the eunuchs and maids serving him all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
At this moment, a more senior eunuch entered the Tai Chi Palace, knelt down in front of the bed, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty! It's not good, Your Majesty! Li Hu... Li Hu has rebelled! At this time, the entire palace has been surrounded."
Get up."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Tai Chi Palace was shocked.
You must know that Li Hu is their last line of defense!
Now the last line of defense has become the spear that kills them!
With the support of the two concubines, the emperor struggled to sit up and stared wide-eyed: "No! I supported Li Hu with my own hands! Even if everyone in the world rebelled against Li Hu, he would not rebel. If Li Hu wanted to rebel,
He should have rebelled when the enemy troops besieged the city! What happened?"
Li Hu was one of the few military commanders that Emperor Zhao trusted, and he was the one who guided him. Moreover, Li Hu had no identity background and could only rely on himself as the emperor.
How could he be rebellious?
The eunuch cried and cried, "Your Majesty! Your Highness the Crown Prince suspected that Li Hu had treason, so he asked Commander Dianye to go to Li Mansion to invite his family to the palace as hostages. Now Commander Dianye died tragically under Li Hu's sword!"
"The traitor!" Emperor Zhao's eyes widened: "This traitor! Where is he now?!"
Li Hu is fighting bloody battles on the front line, and at this time you are raiding the general's home in the rear?
Aren't you forcing people to rebel?
How could he establish such a prince?
It is said that youth comes from blue and is better than blue.
In the end, this guy is not as good as himself back then!
The eunuch cried: "Your Highness the Crown Prince... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister of Qin have disappeared. The imperial guards in the palace fell into chaos after losing their leader. No one can defend the imperial city, and the city can only be destroyed in a matter of seconds!"
At this time, more and more courtiers were moving closer to Taiji Palace, and it seemed that only here could give them some safety.
"The traitor! The traitor!" Zhao Huang collapsed on the bed, stretched out a hand, and finally fell down weakly.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!"
"..."
After Emperor Zhao lowered his hand, the concubines and attendants in the Taiji Palace knelt down one after another and cried bitterly.
Not only Emperor Zhao was crying when he died, but they were also crying.
Although Emperor Zhao is fatuous and incompetent, as long as he is here, he is the backbone of this palace.
Everyone still has someone to rely on.
Now that his backbone has fallen, his concubines and palace servants can no longer rely on him, and he can no longer rely on himself.
…
The imperial city was already undefendable, and it fell into chaos again. Before it could put up much resistance, Li Hu led his army and killed them. The imperial guards in the imperial city surrendered one after another, and even those who resisted
The mind cannot produce anything.
These imperial guards are indeed miserable. When I woke up today, I was told that the general manager was dead. At noon, I was told that the CEO, who was the son of the chairman, was missing. Now the chairman is dead...
Damn it, you’ve gotten to this point, and you’re still fooling around if you don’t surrender!
After Li Hu came in, the first thing he did was to search for Song Qi throughout the imperial city.
Dianye is just an errand, the real culprit is the crown prince!
If I hadn't arrived earlier, I'm afraid my family would have been put under house arrest and never seen the light of day!
Once the city is defeated, who knows if they will think that they are not guarding well enough and have their family members executed?
All of these are possible!
Therefore, the Crown Prince Song Qi must pay with his life!
As a result, from dusk to dusk, and from dusk to dawn, Li Hu sat in the prince's palace all night. His personal guards came to report one after another, but there was no trace of Song Qi.
At this moment, one of Li Hu's generals said: "General, I have read that there are secret passages in many important places in the book. Do you think there are secret passages in the imperial city?
Song Qi and Qin Hui were afraid of the general, so they escaped through a secret tunnel in advance?"
When Li Hu heard this, he couldn't help but smash the table next to him: "What? The secret passage?! Why didn't you fucking tell me earlier?"
The general said very unjustly, "I don't know if I have it or not. I just read Yan Wu's words."
Li Hu took a few deep breaths. Damn it, several hours have passed. If 1 they really ran along the secret passage, it would be too late to catch up now.
I originally thought that I could catch Qin Hui and give him a certificate of surrender to Shuzhou, so I could take revenge on my own, but in the end, I had nothing to offer except an imperial city...
