"Are you crazy? Kuo'er is our son, our only son, how can we destroy him?"
Empress Li screamed, feeling extremely regretful.
She was the one who started the topic, but it was actually what Gu Cheng did that made her extremely dissatisfied.
Because Gu Cheng has recently begun to rectify the situation with his maternal relatives, the Li family.
Speaking of Empress Li's main job in politics, what is her main job? She is not Wu Zetian, and she has no ability to participate in the court affairs. For her, the biggest role of power is to benefit her natal family.
In just one year, Empress Li made three generations of her mother's family kings, two nephews became official envoys, and more than a hundred people were appointed envoys. Not only relatives, but also Li family's retainers were appointed as envoys.
Throughout the Song Dynasty, this was the only such exaggerated amount of kindness from a foreign relative.
Li's mentality was so arrogant that there were actually more guards guarding the family temple than the royal family's ancestral temple.
Gu Cheng could tolerate the Han family, but he could not tolerate the Li family. He had already ordered people to collect evidence of Li family's crime and formally operated on him a month ago.
This move attracted widespread applause from all officials, both civil and military, and from both the government and the public.
Originally, everyone disliked the arrogant and domineering Li family. Moreover, they treated everyone equally when they killed relatives for the sake of justice. When Gu Cheng used this to arrange his cronies, no one could find fault.
Except for the furious Queen Li.
Isn't it chaos for a biological son to deal with his mother's family?
She doesn't care how much the honor given violates the rules, she just wants to give it a reward!
However, Empress Li did not expect that when she proposed to take back the power of the emperor, Guangzong was even more excited than she was and actually wanted to depose the prince.
No matter how stupid she is, she still knows that the mother is more valuable than the son. If her son is deposed and replaced by another son of the clan, his power will definitely fall.
So I just wanted to teach Gu Cheng a lesson and make him obey orders. At this time, the quarrel became fierce, so he simply pointed at Guangzong's nose and cursed: "You lunatic, don't even think about destroying your own son!"
Guangzong stood up suddenly, his chest heaved violently, and roared: "Yes, I am crazy! I am the emperor, the lord of the Nine Fives, not your puppet! He is still the prince, so he can hold great power. Given time, don't you want to force me to abdicate?"
I must destroy him!"
Guangzong had been a prince for nearly twenty years in his life. He had to walk on thin ice with great difficulty. He finally became the emperor. First, the queen controlled the government, and now the prince kept his word, and all the courtiers followed him...
He craves power so much that he always misses it in the end.
Anyone else would be crazy.
Guangzong was suppressed to the extreme and finally broke out. He wanted to depose the prince and prove that he was the true dragon emperor and had supreme authority.
As for turmoil between the government and the opposition, and national chaos, these are not considered.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! There are assassins trying to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince!"
However, at this moment, a figure rushed in rolling and crawling, and reported anxiously.
"Huh? Is he dead?"
"Send someone quickly to protect the emperor!"
Guangzong and Empress Li were shocked when they heard this, but their focus was completely different. Empress Li even gave orders like crazy, and groups of imperial guards rushed towards the East Palace.
Don't underestimate these people. Top-notch masters like Hong Qi and Huang Yaoshi cannot withstand the siege of hundreds of fast guards with swords, axes, bows and crossbows, let alone well-trained and well-equipped Ouchi guards.
When they rushed to the East Palace, they were shocked to find billowing black smoke pouring out of it. The East Palace was actually on fire!
"Fight the fire quickly!"
Just as Commander Ouchi changed his color and ordered everyone to put out the fire, Guangzong and Empress Li were still waiting anxiously for news, while the eunuch was kneeling on the ground, his sleeves squirming, and an inconspicuous little insect came out and moved toward him very quickly.
Guangzong crawled away.
After a while, Guangzong felt numbness in his calf, screamed, and fell down.
Empress Li was stunned and helpless as she watched the eunuch rush to Guangzong and cried loudly: "Your Majesty! You must take care of your dragon body!"
"Recruit the imperial doctor quickly!" Empress Li just woke up from a dream.
The imperial doctors were summoned, but the three did not arrive. Only one rushed to the palace as quickly as possible and began to treat Guangzong.
"Your Majesty, the Empress, is so angry that you need to rest!" The imperial doctor quickly completed the diagnosis and lowered his head.
Guangzong had always been weak and sickly, but Empress Li did not doubt his presence, waving her hand and saying, "Show me at the Funing Palace!"
It was almost a dedicated recuperation area for Guangzong. It was precisely because Guangzong lived there that Empress Li controlled the power.
However, when they arrived at Funing Hall, the same eunuch came over again, sweating profusely and with blood stains on his robe: "Empress!"
Li's face suddenly turned pale: "How is the prince?"
The eunuch said in a panic: "There was a fire in the East Palace, and the imperial guards suffered heavy casualties. I'm afraid! I'm afraid!"
Empress Li swayed, and for a moment all kinds of terrifying imaginations flooded into her mind, and she shouted hysterically: "Why are you still standing here? Go and protect the prince! I will go too!"
All the guards from Funing Palace were dispatched, leaving only the officials and palace maids who accompanied him.
Then, when the ecstasy smoke overflowed from the eunuch's sleeve, the palace maid, who had no martial arts skills, easily fell to the ground.
The eunuch straightened his back and came to Guangzong's bed as if there was no one else around. He gently patted Guangzong's cheek: "Emperor, you didn't expect that you would fall into the hands of my Five Poison Gods, did you?"
At this time, Guang Zong was not completely unconscious, but his whole body was unable to move. His eyes were moving wildly, and he was actually pleading.
"Song Ting is indeed as Mr. Feng said, he is weak from top to bottom!"
This made the Five Poison Gods extremely proud, and he let out a low and low laugh: "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I will take you to Five Kingdoms City under the order of the leader. Maybe you can also meet your uncle. I'm afraid
Where is the golden emperor!"
When Guangzong heard this, he trembled all over and fainted from fear.
Because the Five Kingdoms City was the place where Huizong and Qinzong were imprisoned. The two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were tortured and died there. It also brought endless humiliation to the Song Dynasty and the Han people. It can be said that they were nailed to the
On the pillar of shame of history.
No matter how incompetent Guangzong is, he doesn't want to follow the path of those two...
"Pah! Pah!"
The Five Poison Gods clapped their hands, and at this time, two chamberlains sent an old man wearing a human skin mask into the palace to exchange with Guangzong.
Of course, it is impossible for that person to pretend to be Guangzong, but as long as he deceives him for a while, by the time Guangzong is taken out of Lin'an City, the overall situation will be decided.
It is true that people in the world cannot compete with the imperial court head-on, but snakes have their own ways, and rats have their own ways. With the ten-year layout of the Tennin Sect and the three cunning rabbit holes, even if the Ruyi Hall is destroyed, it is easy to secretly send someone away.
However, the Five Poison God Lord patted with his left hand and patted with his right hand. The appointed servant did not show up. His expression changed slightly and he suddenly turned around.
I saw an extremely tall eunuch standing in the middle of the hall, wiping his sword slowly and without saying a word.
"No!" With just one eye contact, the Five Poison Gods froze. Knowing that this eunuch must be an extremely strong man, he clasped Guangzong's neck like lightning: "Stop, otherwise I will kill the emperor.
!”
Wei Jinzhong smiled, still did not speak, and just made a gesture.
Please take action!
