Chapter 44 The Emperor Dies

Seeing Li Bing being stabbed into his heart by Qin Qiong's long knife, Li Jian stumbled out and ran out, watching vigilantly, and did not dare to get close.

"Don't worry, the person is dead, what are you afraid of? Congratulations to the Crown Prince, after the court tomorrow, you will be the master of this country." Qin Qiong said with his fists.

"King of Qin, you should call him Your Majesty." The old man in black robe said with a chuckle.

Li Jian walked to Li Bing's body with a flattering smile. When he saw Li Bing's angry eyes staring at him, his back felt a little chilled.

The number one master of Li Tang Kingdom died with the "joint efforts" of Li Jian, Qin Qiong and the old man in black robe.

If an ordinary person is not close to Li Bing at all, it is even more impossible to give people the opportunity to stand beside him and attack him. Li Jian alone cannot do anything. He can stab Li Bing because of Qin Qiong's weirdness that attracted all Li Bing's attention.

Anyone with a little bit of wariness and with Li Jian's strength, it is impossible to stab Li Bing.

Who would have thought that a nephew, who is so weak that he can ignore, would suddenly kill him?

Qin Qiong and the old man in black robe could not kill Li Bing, and Li Jian's poisonous dagger played a crucial role.

It is worth mentioning that no matter what kind of poison is, it will never poison the Danyuan Realm master. After condensing Yuan Dan in the dantian, you can use Yuan Dan to absorb the toxins and refine them forcibly.

Give Li Bing some time, he can fully refine toxins and recover as before.

Killing Li Bing, all three of them are indispensable. Except for Li Jian being beaten and vomiting blood, Qin Qiong and the old man in black were unharmed, and even their Yuanli was not consumed much.

Li Yuan died even simpler. He had a colorless and tasteless poisonous powder. He had heart failure, dizziness in his head, and could not wake up after falling asleep. The cause of death could not be detected, so he could only work hard day and night, exhausted to death.

That kind of poison powder has no effect on Danyuan Realm masters. Li Yuan is not very talented and has unlimited supply of cultivation resources, and it is only the seventh stage of the Condensation Yuan Realm.

"Thank you, King Qin, thank you, I will thank you very much after I ascend the throne!" Li Jianmei smiled, nodded and bowed.

"Prepare for tomorrow's morning court affairs. No need to impeach Guo Ziyi. As long as you convince all civil and military officials to ascend the throne smoothly, Guo Ziyi will be left to us to kill. After the court meeting, let those who oppose you leave first. When they enter Xuanwu Gate, Hun Lao and I cooperate with the Imperial Guard to kill them all, once and for all." Qin Qiong said.

"Yes, let the King of Qin make the decision."

...

"Dutong Lin, are you ready?" Li Jian summoned Lin Chong over and asked with a smug smile after packing up the mess.

"Your Highness, everything is right. Everyone in Xuanwu Gate will die." Lin Chong knelt on the ground and lowered his head. Li Jian couldn't see his expression.

"Very good. After things are done, I will keep my promise, let go of your relatives, and promote you to become a general!" Li Jian said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"You go and prepare, but don't make any trouble. If I can't become emperor, you and your family will die."

...

Lin Chong took a few confidants to parade the palace. He walked three steps, one post, five steps, and every whistle was heard in the palace. He was alerted at all levels, and even a fly could not fly in.

Hundreds of heavy crossbows were set up on the battlements of Xuanwu Gate, and tens of thousands of imperial guards were hidden around Xuanwu Gate, acting according to the plan, perfectly.

"Crown Prince, Prince, I didn't expect that you can really do something like killing your father and usurping the throne."

"If you become emperor, what will Li Tang become?"

"You even killed your biological father. Can I survive after the matter is done? I'm afraid that anyone who knows this will have to die, right?"

"It doesn't matter if I die, but my wife and children were implicated in vain..."

Lin Chong thought to himself, his fists clenched, his nails pinched into his fleshy palms, and his arms were exposed.

"No! You can't let Li Jian ascend the throne! The only one who can stop him now is the Guo family!"

Thinking of this, Lin Chong let go of his fists and ordered several deputy generals around him to continue patrolling. He returned to the Imperial Guard barracks and wrote quickly.

Midnight at 3rd update.

The fire in Changyang City was extinguished, Guo Nan and Guo Ziyi got off the roof, prepared to take a nap, and gathered all their strength to go to bed in the morning.

As soon as they landed, Yang An hurriedly found Guo Ziyi and Guo Nan.

"Master, Master, the guard found a letter."

Yang An handed the letter in his hand to Guo Ziyi.

Guo Ziyi frowned slightly and said, "Didn't you find out who sent it?"

"No, it's archery to deliver letters."

Guo Ziyi nodded and opened the letter.

Under the blurred starlight, Guo Nan and Yang An saw that the letter paper trembled in the two trembling hands. Guo Ziyi gritted her teeth tightly, her old face turned pale, and her tiger eyes were murderous.

"Li Yuan is dead...Li Bing is dead too..."

Guo Ziyi seemed to have aged a few years in an instant. He handed the letter to Guo Nan, carried his hands on his back, looked up at the night sky, and his body was still shaking slightly.

Guo Nan and Yang An got together and read the letter. Both of them looked heavy.

They didn't have much feelings for the Li family, but Guo Ziyi was different. When Li Yuan was still young, he was already the deputy general on the battlefield. After Li Yuan calmed down, he became the King of Fenyang. Li Yuan gradually grew old and his health became worse, and he was gradually excluded.

His relationship with Li Yuan is not an enemy, nor is it a close friend of age. Everything about the Guo family was not only fought with Guo Ziyi, but also given by Li Yuan's trust.

It can be said that Li Yuan was grown up by Guo Ziyi, who saved his Li Tang dynasty, and Guo Ziyi also made him unable to sleep or eat.

From Li Yuan, Guo Ziyi also gained status and respect.

Guo Ziyi was promoted to Danyuan Realm and could live twenty years more than ordinary people. Li Yuan was plagued by the government and was in poor health. He was always afraid that he would fall down before Guo Ziyi's lion. He was always worried that his juniors would not be able to control the Guo family and abandon the Li Tang Dynasty.

It was not until he rewarded the Guo family with great rewards after the Autumn Hunting Competition that he felt a little relieved. Guo Ziyi would not rebel, and Guo Nan looked down on the Li family's country.

The relationship between Guo Ziyi and Li Yuan is extremely complicated.

Li Yuan's death was a huge wave in Guo Ziyi's mind, and in Guo Nan and Yang An's mind, it was just abrupt and confused, and there was a hint of worry.

"Stop Li Jian from ascending the throne!" The three of them looked at each other and reached a consensus.

During the monthly court meeting, officials of the sixth rank and above in Changyang City all sorted out their official uniforms and hats, and arranged neatly outside the Meridian Gate according to their official positions.

The morning bell rang on the Meridian Gate Tower, and the Meridian Gate opened with a creaking sound. Thousands of officials lined up to enter, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, and walked to the Plaza of the Palace of Taihe Palace.

At the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there was a dragon chaise. On both sides of the dragon chaise, dozens of palace maids and imperial guards stood.

Guo Ziyi and Yu Wenji stood in the middle of the first row together.

Yu Wenji turned her head and stared at Guo Ziyi, and said with a smug look: "I have fought with me all my life, but in the end, I will win!"

Guo Ziyi ignored Yu Wenji. He was worried and thought, are Guo Nan ready?

Half an hour later, Li Yuan had not arrived yet, and the ministers were waiting with peace of mind.

An hour later, the dragon throne was still empty, and the ministers were secretly anxious.

Another hour, the sun was three o'clock, and the gate of the Taihe Palace was closed, and whispers filled the square.

How important is the monthly court meeting? How could the emperor be so late?

Crack!

The dull sound came, and the ministers looked up and the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was opened.

"The emperor dies!"
Chapter completed!
