Chapter 223 The Battle of the Two Emperors 12 December 12th
The night is dark and the moon is as cold as a knife!
In the past few decades, Dahan Imperial City has never been closed to the sky, but tonight, people who usually come out to enjoy the cool air and chat seem to have smelled an unusual atmosphere. As soon as it gets dark, the streets of Dahan Imperial City
Without people going out for activities, and not even a flicker of light, the entire Dahan Imperial City was like a dead city.
However, tonight's mirror is still as bright as before. dignitaries, celebrities and gentlemen are coming and going, and there is an atmosphere of drunkenness and dreams everywhere. However, if you observe carefully, this situation seems to be a little different from usual.
, because, their eyes will always look towards somewhere on the second floor from time to time...
In the main hall on the second floor, Qin Ruoshuang and He Lianxuan put down their tea cups almost at the same time, raised their eyes and smiled at each other. He Lianxuan stood up, took a step across and stretched out his hand towards her: "Shuang'er, let's go!"
"Yes!" Qin Ruoshuang raised her eyes and smiled, and obediently handed her hand into his, clasping their fingers together. They walked hand in hand, walking in unison and firmly!
With a creak, the hall door opened wide. Feiyi, who was ordered to run Mirror Flowers, Water Moon, opened the door for them in person, with a humble and firm look on his face. In this battle, they would die if they didn't succeed, but she believed that her master would definitely do it.
success!
"Thank you Feiyi for your hard work!" Qin Ruoshuang paused and said as he passed by her.
Feiyi shuddered violently. She had seen countless people in the world for more than ten years, but all of them regarded her as a tool. No one regarded her as a human being. However,
But her master...
Looking up at her small body, Fei Yi's eyes turned red involuntarily: "Master..."
This is a call of sincerity and a cry of gratitude!
Qin Ruoshuang nodded lightly, turned her eyes, and walked forward with He Lianxuan.
"I surrender! I surrender!" He Lianxuan looked down at Qin Ruoshuang. There was no embarrassment of a loser in his expression, but only pride. His Shuanger's ability to recognize people and judge things was truly extraordinary!
Qin Ruoshuang curled her lips and smiled: "No need to say that!"
So, when the two figures of the two people, one red and one black, appeared in front of everyone, there was a moment of silence in the bustling hall, and then there was a uniform movement - tearing off the coat that wrapped the clothes, leaning less, looking around
There were only two colors in sight, the iron-black armor representing the generals and the dark red official uniforms representing the civil servants! Everyone looked solemn and ready! Where was the teasing and playfulness on their faces?!
After everything was over, almost in unison, everyone knelt down towards the two of them and shouted in unison——
"I've met the prince! I've met the princess!"
Qin Ruoshuang and He Lianxuan smiled similarly, then raised their empty hands and said: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone, please get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Princess!"
Qin Ruoshuang has always been straightforward, and she was even more concise and clear at this moment. She went straight to the point: "Everyone must know what we are going to do tonight, so I don't need to talk nonsense and just talk about the key points - I just got the
According to the news, the second prince He Lianyu forced the palace to rebel and forced the emperor to write an abdication edict. Therefore, our slogan is to punish the rebellious ministers! Qingjun side! The plan tonight remains unchanged, and everyone’s division of labor remains unchanged! Everyone must act in a certain way
Be careful, I hope that tomorrow morning we will still be the same people, no one will be missing! We will see you at the palace!"
"Okay! See you at the palace!"
He Lianxuan pulled Qin Ruoshuang forward, then waved his hand and said in a sonorous and powerful voice——
"All forces attack the Dahan Palace with all their strength - go! Go!"
Dahan Palace
After Helian Yu sent people to make arrangements for Helian Qitian, he then carried out a large-scale liquidation of the palace. The first to bear the brunt was the Royal Guards Army, which was under the direct control of the emperor!
Boom, boom, boom! A loud drum beat suddenly sounded in the silent night. The heavy drum beat penetrated the eardrums and went straight into the sky, making this originally peaceful night no longer peaceful.
The imperial guards stationed throughout the palace suddenly looked at each other, and then hurriedly rushed towards the place where the sound came from!
Soon, in the open space in front of the palace hall, stood the Royal Guardsmen who were rushing from all over the palace. Although there were many in number, they were not even close to the real number that Helian Qitian had in hand!
Liu Shangshu shouted softly in He Lianyu's ear: "Your Majesty... look at the Imperial Guards... it seems... they haven't all arrived yet?!" If they had all come, what would the nearly 100,000 Imperial Guards be?
Such a situation?!
He Lianyu was furious and glared at him: "What do you mean it looks like?! It's just a lot worse!"
"It's bad, it's a lot worse?..." Liu Shangshu's tongue was almost tied, "Then, Your Majesty, what should we do now?!"
He Lianyu snorted coldly, took a step forward, then waved his sleeves heavily and said: "You ask me, who should I ask?! If I can't handle this matter, what's the use of you?!"
The stern words made everyone present turned pale and looked at each other. How is this He Lian Yu still the He Lian Yu of the past? Think about it, he used to be as gentle as jade, but now...
"Your Majesty... I have a way, maybe it will work!" Finally, someone among the ministers spoke.
Helian Yu turned around with a sigh, looked at the man with his dark jade eyes and said, "Okay! You say it!"
"Yes! Your Majesty! My solution is to let these imperial guards speak for themselves. Some of them must know the whereabouts of others. If they know and fail to report it, they will be despising the emperor's favor and will be punished for their crimes!"
He Lianyu turned his eyes sternly and said in a loud voice: "Okay! Mr. Wei, tell me, how do you get these people to speak?"
When Mr. Wei heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded. He was just talking casually, how could he know how to get others to speak?
"This, this, this..."
He Lianyu's voice suddenly rose: "This?! What is this?! Mr. Wei, are you joking? You have to know what will happen if you gossip in front of me!
"
He Lianyu's stern words made Mr. Wei so frightened that he knelt down with a plop on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "I don't dare...I don't dare...I have a way to make them talk! There is a way.
!”
He Lianyu took a deep breath and said loudly: "Okay! As long as there is a way! Mr. Wei, please get up and speak -"
Mr. Wei immediately got up from the ground, crawling and rolling. He had no time to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead from the fright, and hurriedly saluted him: "Thank you for being so magnanimous, Your Majesty. I will definitely ask you this great question for Your Majesty."
Where are the Royal Forest Army now? Why are there only these mere people, veteran..."
"Stop!" He Lianyu's face was black and blue, and his sharp eyes were shot at him. At this time, he actually said that if Master Wei hadn't been standing beside him a long time ago, he would have said nothing.
Fang camp, he will suspect that he is here to deceive people!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Mr. Wei paused again after being drunk, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
He Lianyu was immediately filled with contempt, and at the same time he felt relieved. Such a useless person would not have the courage to do so. Now it would be better to listen to what methods he has to solve the problem in front of him!
"Okay, don't talk nonsense anymore. Now you can just figure out how to find out the whereabouts of other people!"
"Yes - I take my orders!"
After Master Wei finished speaking, he turned around and pulled his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Under the watchful eyes of He Lianyu and all the officials, he walked to the front and stood straight in front of thousands of Imperial Guards. He straightened his back and said loudly:
——
"You all listen to me. Before this, the most noble second prince of our Great Han Kingdom has been appointed by heaven to become the new king of our Great Han Kingdom. Therefore, from now on, you must call him the emperor! I believe it.
, The vast majority of you are loyal to the emperor, but there is a small group of people who are not. Therefore, this small group of people should listen to me. If you tell the whereabouts of your accomplices,
, I can not only protect you from death, but also put in a few nice words for you in front of the emperor, and then the day will come when you will be promoted to a higher rank and become a successful person! However, if you do not report the knowledge or conceal something, then
Don’t blame me for being rude, it’s a small thing to lose your own life, but it’s a big thing to hurt all the brothers!”
Master Wei looked at the sudden commotion among the nearly ten thousand imperial guards in front of him with almost pride, and then coughed twice and continued: "Okay! Now I will give you two ways to go. First, choose to tell the truth, and I will honor it.
Promise! Second, don’t say anything, everyone will remain silent, but I will kill ten people every quarter of an hour until the moment someone wants to say something!”
Coax... The Royal Forest Army suddenly started to make a fuss, everyone's eyes widened, and then they whispered to each other!
Not only the Royal Forest Army, but also a group of civil and military officials surrounding He Lianyu. Liu Shangshu was the first to bear the brunt and said to He Lianyu: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! If someone chooses to say it's okay, if
Don’t tell me, is it really necessary to kill people indiscriminately? It’s fine to kill one or two people, but if you have to kill ten people every quarter of an hour, it will make you lose the support of the people, Your Majesty?!”
"Yes! Your Majesty, what Mr. Liu said is reasonable. You can't do this..."
He Lianyu waved one hand solemnly: "Okay, I know what's going on!"
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
He Lianyu took a few steps forward, one step ahead of Mr. Wei, and stood in front of the crowd and said: "Although Mr. Wei's words are a bit exaggerated, I think it is necessary. Therefore, you all had better tell the truth, otherwise, you will injure everyone."
Brother, don’t blame me for being cold-blooded!"
Indeed, Mr. Wei's words are a bit excessive, but in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are used, especially at this important moment. If a woman is too kind, she may cause trouble! What's more, for this position, he even sacrificed his own father.
They can all be framed, so what do these people’s lives matter?!
Many of the officials present could not understand, especially the civil lawsuits. They were immediately dumbfounded. Is this still the gentle and gentle second prince? They never expected that he could be so ruthless!
"emperor……"
"Okay!" He Lianyu waved his hand again and said resolutely: "I have made up my mind! Mr. Wei——"
Mr. Wei immediately took a small step across and saluted, saying: "Old minister, I'm here!"
"I'll leave this to you! I'm tired, so I'm going to take a short rest. I hope you can give me good news as soon as possible!" After saying this, He Lianyu turned around and walked towards the park behind a group of civil and military officials.
Take away the golden dragon-carved chair that symbolizes identity and status.
Master Wei turned around following his direction, bowed respectfully and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty! I will definitely not disappoint your trust!"
After watching He Lianyu sit down, Mr. Wei turned his eyes, and a sharp light flashed across his eyes, but it was fleeting. Looking at the men in front of him who were dressed as royal guards, he straightened his back and said: "
You have all heard what the emperor just said, and you also understand what the emperor means. At the same time, it also proves that what I said is not a fabrication! Therefore, from now on, you should think carefully about it. If you do not cooperate, then
Don't blame me for being ruthless! Remember, there is only a quarter of an hour. If you don't speak, then I will speak! Someone comes - set up the incense case!"
Soon, someone placed the incense table used for timekeeping in front of nearly 10,000 imperial guards. Everyone paid close attention to the small incense table, watching the red incense head extending downward little by little in their eyes.
Like a life that is about to be replaced...
Soon, a quarter of an hour was coming. Looking at the time that was about to come, Mr. Wei put his hands behind his back and narrowed his eyes to scan the panicked and angry faces of the young people. He didn't want to do this either, but...
The current situation forces him to do this!
"The time is coming. Don't you all want to live? Even if you don't want to live, you won't feel guilty if it affects other people?"
As soon as I finished speaking, quarter of an hour was up!
"Time! Time! It's here!" Mr. Wei took a deep breath, turned around and saluted He Lianyu and said: "Your Majesty, no one is willing to speak now. As the saying goes, you have no joke. In the opinion of the old minister, you should do what you said before.
punished!"
He Lianyu leaned on the dragon chair and waved to him: "Okay! You can do whatever you want!"
"Yes! Old minister, take the order!" After Master Wei finished speaking, he immediately waved his hand to the soldiers in silver armor and said: "Act immediately - arrest ten people, and we will! Zheng! Law!"
