"Grand Bachelor, you are here at the right time. Please advise the old master and several adults. The royal guards were ordered by the emperor to arrest the rebels. They have repeatedly blocked and defended the rebels. They are regarded as comrades and those who disobey the order will be killed!" Zhang Shun was wearing dark blue.
The red brocade guard uniform was soaked by the rain, the scimitar in his hand was stained with blood, and his tone was tough and merciless.
Lin Heli gave the umbrella to the shadow guard and asked him to protect the elders from the wind and rain. The angry Lin Heli slapped Zhang Shun hard in the face. No matter how harsh his methods were, the Lin family leader always had a stable temper.
This was the first time that the young master was furious in front of others, "Who do you want to kill? Who do you dare to kill?"
Zhang Shun was stunned by his slap. He covered his face in disbelief. The Jinyiwei were the emperor's guards. If he was afraid of Sun Guizhou, the king of Beijing, three years ago, it was because the late emperor was ignored and his power was not high. The Jinyiwei were
The emperor's dog. The higher the emperor's prestige, the more painful the dog's bite will be. Dogs rely on human power.
In the past three years, Jinyiwei has been acting unscrupulously in Beijing. If any official in Beijing dares to resist, let alone slap a fellow Jinyiwei in front of others, Zhang Shun's eyes will overflow with murderous intent.
"Lin Heli..."
"You are not worthy of calling me by my official name!" Lin Heli flipped his wrist, snatched the scimitar from Zhang Shun's hand, and slashed towards Zhang Shun. Zhang Shun was startled when he took away the sword.
The Jin Yiwei stood in a dense row behind him. He couldn't dodge back. In desperation, he grabbed a Jin Yiwei beside him and blocked it in front of his eyes. The blade of the Jin Yiwei passed through his throat and blood splashed into the rain. The Jin Yiwei in front of Zhang Shun had his throat sealed by Lin Heli's sword. Zhang Shun
He didn't even have time to see clearly who he had captured as a scapegoat, that person had already died under Lin He's sword.
"Zhang Shun, do you dare to kill me?" Lin Heli asked slowly. This is the first time that everyone has seen a cabinet minister kill someone in public. He did it neatly. If Zhang Shun didn't hide, Zhang Shun would be the one who died. He didn't care who he killed.
Zhang Shun, who is the Jin Yiwei? This group of Jin Yiwei will all pay the price for what happened tonight!
How could Zhang Shun dare to kill Lin Heli? It was just a bluff, hoping that Lin Heli would retreat in spite of the difficulties. Who would have thought that Lin Heli would dare to kill him, "It turns out that you Jin Yiwei are also afraid of death. How come you are not afraid of death when you kill the Chang family's young man?"
"We are also acting under orders. It was the Chang family who resisted the emperor's order. They should have been killed!"
"You deserve to be killed for committing crimes below!" Lin Heli looked at him indifferently, "I will kill you like an ant, I don't even need to find an excuse."
Lin Heli threw the sword at him, and Zhang Shun hurriedly hugged him, his face extremely pale in the heavy rain.
Lin Heli's words were concise and concise, "Get out!"
Jinyiwei was forced back by Lin Heli, and his people helped Mrs. Zhang and several ministers into the Jinyiwei Yamen. He also heard about the tragedy of the Chang family on the way, and was shocked and angry.
"How is the Feng family doing?"
"Feng Changqing and Su Yuejiao were not in Feng Mansion. At that time, the Jinyi Guards were ordered to go to Feng Mansion to arrest Feng Changqing and Su Yuejiao. However, they were not in the Mansion and had escaped long ago. After Concubine Chen jumped off the city wall, the emperor sent the Jinyi Guards
When they went to Feng Mansion to arrest someone, Prince Duan and Princess Duan blocked the Jinyi Guards and did not let them enter the mansion. They were considered safe for the time being. Feng Mansion had already separated the families, and Prince Duan was mediating in the middle. As long as Feng Changqing and Su Yuejiao escaped, they should be safe.
Something will happen." A younger official quickly reported the news to Lin Heli.
Old Master Zhang said, "Bai Qing, what should we do now? Who can stop him? There is still a war in Jiangnan, and if such a big thing happens in Beijing, we ministers cannot escape the blame!"
If the ruler is unruly, his ministers are incompetent!
Lin Heli didn't want to dwell on who was right or wrong anymore. The biggest crisis now was to quell this chaos, which started because of Yu Wenjing.
It should also end with Yu Wenjing.
"Grand Bachelor, do we really have to be loyal to such a monarch?" A student burst into tears in the voice of Old Master Zhang, "Didn't the Ningzhou cavalry shed enough blood three years ago? Tonight?
The entire Chang family was wiped out, and thousands of officials and their families were imprisoned. What did we do wrong? The ruler was unjust, brutalized his ministers, colluded with neighboring countries, and raised armies to cause chaos. Why should we be loyal to such a monarch?"
"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Zhang reprimanded. Lin Heli looked at the student and had some impression of him. He was still very young. He was the favorite disciple of Mr. Zhang. He was engaged to a girl from the Chang family. The Chang family was wiped out tonight.
In the past, Lin Heli would not have wanted to hear such remarks, but tonight he once again heard others saying that the king was unprincipled, and he couldn't help but wonder, why did he read so many sages' books?
Is it for the sake of orthodoxy in the world, or for the common people?
If you have the right rules, you will be an official; if you have no rules, you will avoid the world.
But he could not avoid it. He and his ministers worked hard to support the Yuwen royal family, a decadent dynasty, for three years, and saw a bright and prosperous future.
Only now do I realize that this is a return to the past!
Yu Wenjing is hopeless!
When Lin Heli stood at the door of Jinyiwei's prison, he felt very calm. Once he admitted that Yu Wenjing was hopeless, everything suddenly became clear. The next step was to quell the chaos, which forced Lin Heli to think about a question.
If the clan forces the palace, Yu Wenjing is not the late emperor, he will not be burned to death in the palace, let alone die of a blood relative. The prince is too young, and if the young master ascends the throne, the situation in the court will definitely be unstable.
If you choose King Duan... In recent years, there is nothing bad about King Duan. However, once he ascends the throne and establishes a firm foothold, the situation of the Queen and the Crown Prince will be quite embarrassing.
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.
Muffled thunder rolled in.
The mountain of orthodoxy in Lin Heli's heart suddenly collapsed, like a tower of light that had stood for hundreds of years. This was an early warning.
He... has another choice.
"We must find Xie Xun!" Lin Heli strode into the rain. This scene was exactly the same as when he was in Beijing three years ago. He could not do anything to stop him three years ago, and he must not repeat the same mistakes this time.
Xie Xun and Feng Yu were still trapped in the tunnel. This night was too long and it was a torture for everyone. He and Feng Yu were hiding in the tunnel, and neither the shadow guards nor the dead soldiers would act rashly.
Feng Yu, who was heartbroken, was immersed in a nightmare and refused to wake up. Xie Xun could empathize with it. He had experienced it once and saw his brother and mother die in front of his eyes. When he just left Kyoto, he didn't dare to close his eyes. Once he closed his eyes,
As I closed my eyes, this scene kept replaying before my eyes.
"Auntie, don't be afraid, I will be with you." Words can hardly heal the pain in her heart. She can only leave it to time, "I will always be with you."
"Sister..." Feng Yu was immersed in the nightmare and struggled continuously, "Sister, don't... don't... sister!"
There was a loud bang, and the sound of rolling thunder could be heard even in the tunnel. Feng Yu suddenly opened her eyes. She seemed to have experienced a long nightmare. She suddenly grabbed Xie Xun, and her tone was a bit joyful.
, "Zhixu, was it just a nightmare? I just waited in the tunnel for too long and accidentally fell asleep, right?"
