Chapter 68: The Apocalypse's Anecdote
In the sixteenth year of Emperor Mingde's reign in the north, that is, the sixteenth year after the "Eight Kings Rebellion" in Tianqi City, King Langya suddenly rebelled. The reason was that Emperor Mingde promulgated the "Twelve Tax Laws", which were
It was called the most severe tax law since the Northern Dynasty. King Langya opposed it in court and quarreled fiercely with Emperor Mingde. This was also the first quarrel between the two that was seen by the courtiers.
After the fierce quarrel that day, Emperor Mingde announced that he would suspend his court for three days, and King Langya returned to his palace.
It wasn't until three days later that Tianqi City burned down.
That day, a group of rioters suddenly appeared from nowhere and started setting fires everywhere in Tianqi City. Later, the Forbidden Army arrived to stop them, but there was a group of rebels among the Forbidden Army. They started burning, killing and looting in the city until Tianqi City was in chaos. Until Yu
General Lin Xie Lingyun led 10,000 Lin troops into the city, and barely suppressed the chaos. At this moment, the West City Gate quietly opened, and a carriage quietly left from the back door of Langya Palace. When the carriage arrived at the West City Gate, there was no
It was heavily guarded, with only one person sitting on the wall.
It was a long-haired man holding a long stick, the Western Guardian of the Four Guardians of the Apocalypse - the White Tiger.
The four guardians of Apocalypse back then were all friends met by King Langya when he traveled around the world. But now, after sixteen years in Apocalypse City, will they value their friendship back then or stick to their loyalty to the royal family?
White Tiger didn't take action, just sat there quietly. King Langya finally got out of the carriage, picked up the sword in his hand, hit the horse hard, and the carriage rushed out of the city gate. White Tiger did not go down to the city.
He opened the door, put away his long stick and turned to leave. King Langya dropped the long sword in his hand, turned around and silently stretched out his hands. In front of him, stood Xiao Changli, the then head of the Ministry of Punishment.
King Langya was finally judged as a treasoner. A person who had the least reason to rebel did so. Almost no one believed this was true, but King Langya remained silent since the day he was imprisoned and never spoke again.
In a word, he didn't plead guilty, but he didn't defend himself either. So even if someone was willing to speak for him, it wouldn't be of any help. What's more, even if King Langya was very popular in the court, no one would dare to stand up anymore.
Three of the Seven Apocalypse Censors who interrogated him thought he was innocent, and he was found dead at home the next day.
Anyone with a discerning eye can figure out that this is not someone who wants to frame King Langya, but that the current emperor, Emperor Mingde, wants him dead.
Just when everyone remained silent, someone finally stood up, but it was a person with a very special identity - the Sixth Prince Xiao Chuhe. The most beloved prince of Emperor Mingde, he was only fifteen years old at the time, but he was no matter where he was.
He is known as a genius in martial arts, military art and even literature, and is recognized by everyone as the candidate for the "Prince". However, this prince born to Emperor Mingde is said by many to have the demeanor of King Langya when he was young, and
He himself did have a good relationship with King Langya, who was his master in chess.
Xiao Chuhe came to the court hall alone. The guards outside the hall stopped him, but he was knocked down with one move. At that time, the court was shaken. Xiao Chuhe stood in front of the hall without kneeling, and even mentioned thirteen suspicious things about King Langya's conspiracy.
The voice was passionate and touching, and some old ministers actually shed tears in the court hall. However, Emperor Mingde was so angry that he demoted the Sixth Prince to a commoner and exiled him to Qingzhou.
The courtiers no longer dared to say anything, and even the prince was demoted, so in the end there were only four people left who could stop this incident. At that time, Lei Mengsha had already died on the battlefield in Nanzhao, and only the friends of King Langya in Tianqi City were
The four guardians of Apocalypse are left. Among them, Baihu has made his position clear, Suzaku left Apocalypse City after the Eight Kings Rebellion, Xuanwu also happened to be out under secret orders at this time, and only Qinglong was the biggest one in this conspiracy.
variable.
Qinglong, Li Xinyue, the successor of Jianzhong.
However, Li Xinyue also remained silent, because the area around her mansion was surrounded by more than a dozen masters from the day King Langya was imprisoned. Li Xinyue did not step out of the mansion for seven consecutive days, until seven days later, Langya
The king asked for execution. According to the law, ordinary criminals had to wait until the Queen of Autumn to ask for execution after being convicted. Royal clan members also had a long trial period. However, the Qintian Supervisor observed the celestial phenomena and passed down the destiny, which was called: The Punishment of King Langya
, there is no room for delay.
The sun was shining brightly that day, and King Langya was dressed in white, with shackles on his hands, and slowly walked towards the execution platform. Although he was about to die, his grace had not been lost at all. He was still the elegant prince with the aura of the world even though he was in the court.
.The courtiers watching the ceremony all sighed softly, only the king behind the curtain maintained a cold silence.
Li Xinyue finally walked out of her mansion. Li Xinyue raised her sword for seven days, and the sword heart technique was unstoppable. The masters who surrounded her were defeated one after another, and they retreated to the execution ground. At that time, King Langya stood on the execution platform.
, white robes were flying, and Li Xinyue came with a sword, her face as frosty as ice.
The king behind the curtain only said one sentence: "Li Xinyue, do you also want to rebel?"
Li Xinyue replied: "I have never rebelled, but the Holy One wants to force me to rebel."
The king did not speak, but waved his hand gently.
The five great eunuchs of Apocalypse, the seven heavenly masters of Qintian espionage, and the master of the Wuji Stick, the only one left among the four guardians of Apocalypse, all showed murderous intent in an instant.
The four of the five great prison guards of Tianqi, except Jin Xuan, took the lead to step forward. Li Xinyue laughed loudly and said: "I have the Kunwu Sword, please seek it from the master's court. When the rainbow is white, the jade will be cut, and the purple air will dry the stars at night. The hibiscus moves on the hoe, and the box
The frost and snow are bright. I rely on the sky to serve my country and draw the earth to gain a heroic name." Then he drew his sword, and everyone within ten feet of the execution platform was forced back by the sword's energy. However, even if Li Xinyue raised the sword for seven days, he obtained the sword heart technique.
Although the success was great, it was still no match for the combined efforts of the four great eunuchs.
But Qintian Supervisor Zheng Qi Tianchen, who had been looking up at the sky on the high platform, suddenly said in shock: "There is a sword coming from the west, powerful enough to overwhelm the emperor!"
Emperor Mingde looked at Li Xinyue, who was already covered in blood, and frowned slightly: "She? But she is about to die."
Qi Tianchen, as the Superintendent of the Qintian Prison and the head of the seven heavenly masters, rarely leaves the Qintian Prison on weekdays. In the hearts of the courtiers, he is a half-human and half-immortal figure. But at this time, he looked serious: "It's not her, please
Your Majesty, please dodge quickly! The power of this sword can destroy ten thousand cities!"
As an emperor of the generation, Emperor Mingde was not afraid at this moment: "What sword can destroy ten thousand cities?"
"Sword of the Immortal Sword." The long-haired man holding the Wuji stick took a step forward, "She's here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a white shadow flashing in the distance, rushing towards us like lightning at an incredible speed. The clouds were flying in the sky, as if an immortal had come to this world.
"Ying!" Xie Lingyun, the general of the Yulin Army, saw the figure, raised the knife in his hand, and shouted loudly. The soldiers in the execution ground immediately drew the long bows in their hands.
The white shadow has swept away from the execution ground.
"Broken!" Xie Lingyun dropped the knife in his hand with force.
The arrows fell like rain, dark and heavy, like a downpour under white clouds!
But the figure had already passed the execution platform and stood directly under the Emperor's platform.
The Wuji Stick took action at this time. Once the stick came out, it was boundless, endless, and endless. Qi Tianchen also took action. He shook the whisk in his hand. The whisk was like a white bird that suddenly sprouted thousands of
Wings, each wing is sharp and dangerous. The current eunuch Jin Xuan also gently pushed out his palm.
However, the swordsman in white is still not afraid and just rushes forward. If these three people don't stop, she will definitely die. However, one of them must die too!
