Desire makes human progress, and human beings will eventually perish due to desire.
Suamalishi stood in the heavy rain, looking up at the majestic Great Hall, and his heart was swallowed up by desire...
He pulled two of his close confidants over and whispered a few words. The two soldiers' faces remained unchanged and they clenched their sabers without saying a word. One of them turned around and ran towards the main entrance of the palace, and slipped out of the palace. The other one led a group of dead soldiers and quickly climbed up the steps to the gate of the Great Hall. He raised his sword and shouted: "The master of the family has been harmed by traitors. We must kill the enemy and avenge the master." !”
"Kill the bandits!"
"Kill the bandits!"
"revenge!"
"revenge!"
All the soldiers of the Suga family are very angry and their morale is high!
"kill!"
The dead man took the lead and rushed into the Daikoku Hall, followed closely by countless soldiers, pouring into the Daikoku Hall like a tide! When he entered the hall, he saw the corpse of Soga Rika and the corpse of Emperor Kogoku lying on their backs. On the steps above, the eyes of the soldiers of the Suga family were all red!
I don't know who shouted, "Kill them all and bury them with the master of the family." The soldiers of the Suga family, dominated by anger, immediately raised the sword-tip spears in their hands and killed the civil servants and generals standing in the hall with murderous intent. , for a moment the whole hall was filled with flashes of swords and shadows, miserable cries, screams, curses and begging for mercy.
Abenamaro, an old man, stood in the center of the hall again. Soldiers rushed up and slashed him on the shoulder. He fell in a pool of blood and shouted angrily: "Are you crazy? This is the Daichi Palace, and all the important officials of the Japanese country are in the hall. , is the Suga family really planning to massacre all of us in order to usurp the throne?"
But he forgot that these words might be useful if spoken to people like Soga Iruka and Soga Ezo. After all, they have to weigh the pros and cons, think a lot, and worry a lot. But with these illiterate people, they have to weigh the pros and cons. What's the use of this, said the dead soldier?
This person doesn't care what the consequences are for you. If you kill my family leader, then I will make you pay with your life!
that is it……
Before Abenamaro could finish his voice, a soldier raised the spear in his hand high and plunged it into his chest.
A dignified minister of the Japanese country, an outstanding figure of his generation, died like a dog at the hands of a dead soldier...
The soldiers were furious and swung their weapons, treating these noble ministers who had always been aloof like fish on the chopping board and killing them arbitrarily!
Soga Ishikawa Maro drew out his sword to block the sword coming from a soldier, and yelled loudly: "Are you crazy? Kill me too!"
The warrior was startled, and after taking a closer look, his family naturally recognized him. Although Soga Ishikawa Maro's status in the family was far inferior to that of Soga Ezo and his son, he was the brother of Soga Ezo after all. One of the clan elders, how could he dare to take action?
He quickly retracted his weapon and rushed to the other side.
Soga Ishikawa Maro breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the brutal killings in the main hall, his heart felt cold and he quickly retreated. Now the situation suddenly reversed, and the Soga family had the upper hand. If he died at this time, that would be He died in vain, and he died by his own sword... No matter how much he thought, he felt aggrieved.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere in the main hall, and ghosts cried and wolves howled.
Nakatomi Kamazu was forced into a corner, holding a sword in his hand to resist. He watched Prince Katsuragi being cut into pieces by several soldiers. The screams before his death made him feel terrified, but even then In this way, he was unable to step forward to rescue him. His left shoulder blade had already been severely chopped twice. If he dared to rush forward again and rush into the enemy's formation, he would definitely die.
He never imagined that what he thought was a sure-fire strategy would end up in the current situation, where he was defeated like a mountain and trapped in a lion-tiger cage!
Why were the soldiers of the Suga family so powerful? Not only were they able to reach the main entrance of the palace so quickly, but they were also able to defeat the elite imperial army in the palace and flee in all directions.
It shouldn't be...
At this moment, he was not allowed to think too much. Even though he was trapped in a cage between a liger and a tiger, his survival instinct made him wave his sword left and right to resist, and he would never accept death obediently.
Soga Ishikawa Maro watched Prince Katsuragi being cut into pieces with random knives, and Nakatomi Kamazu being forced into a corner and surrounded by people. His death happened in an instant. His heart was filled with mixed feelings, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of a soldier charging toward him at the end of his eyes.
When he came, he was startled and shouted: "I am Souga Ishikawa Maro, you can't kill me!"
The soldier was holding a bloody steel knife in his hand. He came closer and said, "Young man is the old family master's attendant. I recognize you. I have been ordered by the old family master to ask you to go out and discuss the follow-up matters."
The so-called "attendants" are the loyal and loyal soldiers raised...
Soga Ishikawa Maro breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Help me block these people, they are all red-eyed, but don't lose your mind and kill me too."
"I obey, little one!"
The soldier responded: "You go to the front, and I will cut off the rear for you."
Soga Ishikawa Maro nodded and walked in front with his sword in hand. His heart was beating with fear as he walked. The main hall had long been massacred. No one wanted to sit back and die. Even if they were at the end of the road, they had to fight a trapped beast. Civil servants had no way to tie the chicken.
With such power, most of them were killed in the first wave, but the remaining military attaches were all strong and powerful. Even if they were trapped in a tight siege, they could still resist left and right. The battle was fierce.
Soga Ishikawa Maro swallowed, secretly thinking that she was lucky...
Beforehand, he had been prepared to die for his family in extreme circumstances, but now looking at this brutal killing, he realized that death was really a terrible thing. If he were to face death now,
I'm afraid that I no longer have the freedom and ease that I had before to die bravely.
But soon he became happy again.
The eldest brother Soga Ezo strategized and turned defeat into victory. Even if Soga Iruka died tragically on the spot, the Soga family could still win the final victory and seize the supreme power of Japan. Either support the ancient eldest brother prince to ascend the throne, or support Prince Katsuragi's younger brother, Prince Kaito, to ascend the throne. Either way
He became the de facto regent of the Japanese state, with the prime minister Chao Gang and the prime minister in charge of the sun and the moon.
Or even go one step further...
Just when he was full of longing for the future and infinite yearning in his heart, a sharp pain in his lower back made him suddenly scream, and his soul flew out of the sky!
He suddenly took a step forward, then covered the gurgling blood from his waist and ribs, and looked in disbelief at the soldier in front of him who had just pierced his body with a steel knife.
This is Sumo Lishi's death warrior, but he brazenly assassinated himself...
Soga Ishikawa Maro's eyes were about to burst, he stared and shouted: "Who are you, dare to hurt my life?"
The soldier looked indifferent and stepped forward. The steel knife in his hand suddenly stabbed Soga Ishikawa Maro's stomach. His upper body leaned forward slightly, and all the strength was put on the right hand holding the knife, making sure that the knife could penetrate.
What's more, at the same time, he stuck to Soga Ishikawa Maro's ear and whispered: "The two clans asked me to send you on your way..."
After saying this, he covered Soga Ishikawa Maro's mouth with his left hand, turned the palm of his right hand over, and stabbed the steel knife into his body, severely mincing his internal organs.
Soga Ishikawa Maro let out an earth-shattering scream and was tightly choked in her mouth. Her eyes protruded. After struggling for a few times, she slowly collapsed to the ground and died on the spot.
Until his death, he never understood why his uncle Suamali wanted to kill him...
*****
During the heavy rain, the war was triggered by Itagai Palace and gradually spread outside the palace. The faction close to Prince Katsuragi were all middle-level officials and immigrants. These people had a certain status and power, but lacked control over the army. The Imperial Guard General
There are very few generals who can command an army like Kai Inukai Katsumaro.
So when Soga's dead warriors and some monk soldiers braved the heavy rain and marched into Asukakyo, the leaderless emperor's army quickly collapsed and surrendered. After killing the resisters, the entire Asukakyo gradually calmed down.
The Suga family gained absolute control...
But where to go next is the beginning of the biggest headache for our family.
Having lost his son in old age, Soga Ezo seems to have an indifferent expression and seems to have already understood life and death, but in fact, his spirit is on the verge of collapse, and he is only relying on his obsession with his family to support himself.
Even so, he had to put Souga Ruka aside and first consider how to treat the royal family.
This mutiny broke out too suddenly, and the Suga family was not fully prepared in advance. Although they relied on the Tang Dynasty's thunder to blow up the main entrance of the palace, and relied on the Tang Dynasty's heavy armor to defeat the Imperial Army, the royal family in the palace had to be dealt with in this way.
, and put it on Soga Ezo’s desk.
There is no doubt that after this mutiny, the blood feud between the Soga family and the royal family has been completely concluded. Even though most of the nobles in the royal family are related by blood to the Soga family, this will never reduce the hatred at all.
So, are they going to kill off all the royal family and put the Soga clan on their own?
