The little chamberlain was shouting in a panic, but his eyes were moving around, revealing a sense of cunning. He even held an ingot of gold in his sleeve, playing with it happily.
However, a tall and thin eunuch walked towards him. A cold light flashed in his sleeves. The eunuch suddenly stiffened and fell down, clutching his neck. Blood quickly spread from his body.
Similar scenes continued to unfold, and it was the four disciples trained by Wei Jinzhong who took action, killing them in the palace.
This is not an indiscriminate killing of innocent people. Every fallen eunuch or maid has a way to die.
The Five Poison Gods diverted the tiger away from the mountain and replaced the pillars. The whole layout does not seem complicated, but in fact, an unknown amount of manpower and material resources were used both inside and outside the palace.
This is not to say that the imperial court of the Song Dynasty was all spies of the Jin Kingdom. Many of the chambermaids were actually uninformed. They were simply greedy for money or were bewitched. They did not know that what they had committed was a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
But it was impossible for Gu Cheng to tell whether he was aware of it or not. In order to protect the peace within the palace, he gave the order to kill him!
At this time, the fire in the East Palace was out of control, raging flames shot straight into the sky, and three figures watched from a distance in the corner.
But it was Duan Yu who protected Lin Chaoying and Feng Heng.
Gu Cheng knew that it was impossible to use the former Emperor of Dali as a thug, but there was no problem in asking him to temporarily protect the safety of those around him.
In fact, the Heavenly Ninja Sect would not let the traitor go, and the Five Poison God Lord's attack was also a signal to kill Feng Heng. However, Duan Yu dismissed the few assassins without even using the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
As a lifelong believer in Buddhism, he did not commit any murders. At this moment, when he saw the great purge in the palace and the scene of rivers of blood, he couldn't help but show compassion in his eyes, and sighed: "This generation of heroes is so cruel and ruthless!"
"How is your highness?"
Feng Heng looked pale and asked anxiously.
After all, she had never plotted against her father. If Gu Cheng hadn't known that God was not looking out for him, and from the perspective of a failed plan, his failure this time would have been too severe.
Duan Yu knew that Gu Cheng must have a back-up plan, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Instead of worrying about him, it's better to worry about how many heads will fall tonight..."
The Five Poison Gods still don't know how many heads have fallen to the ground. The Ten Ninja Sect's ten years of hard work in Lin'an have all been lost. He only knows that they will definitely die today.
Because Wei Jinzhong is too fast.
His unparalleled poison-using skills can't even touch the hem of Wei Jinzhong's clothes. How can he defeat the enemy?
If it weren't for the poison all over his body, which made Wei Jinzhong a bit jealous, he would have died by the sword!
What made the Five Poison Gods furious the most was that Wei Jinzhong was obviously not just talking about it and had no regard for Guangzong's life or death.
In the end, he took the initiative to close the scope of the poisonous mist, fearing that Guangzong would be poisoned to death by accident.
Everyone in the Jin Kingdom knew that Guangzong was fatuous and cowardly and allowed Empress Li to take control of the power. The Tianren leader naturally hoped that the enemy would have such a leader.
The Tianren Sect wanted to kidnap Guang Zong, so they took advantage of the situation and forced the Song Dynasty to rush the Northern Expedition under internal and external pressure. There was no plan for a war, and they could further increase the tribute of Sui coins through negotiation.
When the use is over, Guangzong will be released to see if he doesn't disgust Song Dynasty to death!
But now, it has become a difficult situation. Killing Guangzong, apart from allowing the wise and powerful prince to succeed to the throne in advance, what is the use? It is simply an enemy!
"Are you the prince's person? You are definitely the prince's person!"
"The prince killed his father! The prince killed his father!"
Finally, the Five Poison Gods realized something, and began to roar with great reluctance. The voice was as heroic as if he was a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty.
Not to mention that everyone around was stunned. Even if they weren't, who would believe the people from the enemy country?
It's obvious that you are not good for His Majesty!
The enemy's mentality has collapsed. Wei Jinzhong's face is full of sneers and ridicules. Each sword is faster than the other, and each sword is more powerful than the other.
Finally, a stab like thunder and lightning went straight into the chest of the Five Poison God Lord.
"I will not... let your master have his wish... board the Dabao..."
The incomparably sinister Sunflower Qi was raging in the body. At the last moment of his life, the Five Poison Gods rushed to Guangzong and fed him a pill.
That's an antidote!
Guangzong groaned, and his complexion slowly returned to normal. The Five Poison Gods showed a hint of relief when he saw it, and the luster in his eyes finally dimmed, and he smashed it in front of the dragon bed.
The world is so strange. The last thing in the life of this Heavenly Ninja Cultivator was to save the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
But Wei Jinzhong held his sword and pressed towards Guangzong, but his eyes showed a dangerous light.
He only needs to hand over the long sword at this moment, and his master can ascend to the throne and become the Ninth Five-Year-Old Lord!
"The Five Poison Gods on your right are brave and resourceful, and loyal to the Kingdom of Jin. If you are not threatened, he will not harm your father, and will try his best to save his life!"
"This is very important. You must not add unnecessary complications!"
"Your Highness knows things like a god, and everything happens exactly as he said. How can I make my own decisions?"
Somehow, there seemed to be some force influencing Wei Jinzhong to use his sword to kill Guangzong.
But in the end, Wei Jinzhong recalled Gu Cheng's instructions in his mind, and a deep awe appeared on his face. He did not dare to take any action on his own. He picked up the body of the Five Poison Lords and disappeared in a flash.
During the long night, such a big event happened, and the ministers quickly gathered in front of the Daqing Hall of the Outer Dynasty.
The imperial palace of the Southern Song Dynasty was divided into five parts: the outer dynasty, the inner court, the east palace, the academy and the palace garden. The Daqing hall is located inside the south palace gate and is the meeting place of the great dynasty. The east palace is located in the southeast, so from here you can still see that the east palace has not yet dispersed.
of thick smoke.
The ministers were talking a lot, with a look of deep worry on their faces.
God bless the Song Dynasty. We just had a wise and mighty prince. Don’t let him have any shortcomings!
Fortunately, half an hour later, Gu Cheng's figure finally appeared at the south gate.
Hooray!
Everyone was rushing over there, no matter whether it was true or false, worries and ecstasy were all on their faces!
And for every minister who came up to ask for help, Gu Cheng said something in their ears.
After hearing this, they stayed in place like clay and wood sculptures.
Because that is: "The Kingdom of Jin sent assassins to Lin'an to kidnap me to Five Kingdoms City."
None of the ministers knew how to respond, and even many civil servants subconsciously did not believe it.
However, when Gu Cheng took them to the inner court and Guangzong appeared, everyone was shocked.
"No! No! I don't want to go to Five Kingdoms City! I don't want to go to Five Kingdoms City!"
Guangzong went completely crazy.
He hugged the pillar, tears streaming down his face, and the robe still smelled of feces and urine.
What Jin had done was certain and the crowd was excited, but no one dared to talk nonsense at this juncture. Even the generals who were gearing up fell silent.
Everyone looked at Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng looked at the crazy Guangzong, thinking of his father's kindness and his son's filial piety in the past few months, and sighed in his heart.
"I'm sorry, but you are really not a qualified emperor! Leave the Song Dynasty to me next!"
With a silent word, Gu Cheng slowly turned around and faced the ministers.
This turn around is the heart of an emperor.
Cut off all the unnecessary benevolence of women!
"Your Highness!"
Zhao Ruyu, the minister of the Privy Council, took a step forward and wanted to speak. When he met Gu Cheng's eyes, he felt a sudden chill all over his body and broke out in cold sweat.
I didn't dare to say a single word of the rhetoric I had been brewing before to support the crown prince's ascension to the throne and force the Guang Sect to take the Zen position.
At this time, a complex look flashed in Huang Shang's eyes, and then she became determined and knelt down first: "Please ask the prince to supervise the country!"
Wow!
The ministers were waking up from a dream, and the followers were like clouds, and the mountains were shouting and the tsunami was rising: "Please, the prince, supervise the country!"
This is completely in line with the ancestral system. When the emperor is unable to manage the government due to military expeditions, tours, serious illness, etc., the crown prince will act on his behalf. Now Guangzong is obviously seriously ill and has lost his mind.
Gu Cheng looked at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground and said calmly: "Okay, send an envoy to Jin to cancel the peace agreement. From now on, I, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, will not call the Emperor of Jin as uncle, and cancel the annual coins!"
"Your Highness, you must not do this!"
As soon as Shi Potian's decree came out, several civil servants rushed out and began to cry and fight.
Gu Cheng looked at them and waved his hand, and suddenly there were guards like wolves and tigers, dragging them all down.
The remaining civil servants were shocked, but did not give in. They all stared at Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng looked at the ministers calmly and said word by word: "I originally wanted to be peaceful and happy, but now, the Jin Kingdom used the chaos in Lin'an, the burning East Palace, and the father's serious illness to tell me a truth, just stay in peace.
If you don’t think about making progress, you will only end up repeating the shame of Jingkang and entering Wuguo Toucheng again!”
The civil servants of this dynasty were selected by Xiaozong, and none of them were incompetent. They did not agree to go to war because they thought they could not win.
After losing too much, losing hard, and losing miserably, the literati of the Song Dynasty already had a kind of pessimism that went deep into their bones.
But now, when the name of Five Kingdoms City was mentioned again in Gu Cheng's mouth, the previously suppressed emotions burst out, and everyone's eyes turned red.
shame!
A shame that is hard to wash away!
No, there is still a chance!
At this moment, Gu Cheng's eyes were piercing the north: "The ambition of the barbarians will never be satisfied. There will only be one true master in the land of China! I want to expedition to the north, who has any objection?"
The main fighting faction headed by Xin Qiji stood up first and shouted: "I second the proposal!"
The old ministers left by Xiaozong stood up tremblingly and loudly said: "I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!" "I second the proposal!" "I second the proposal!"
The Song Dynasty has been kneeling for too long, but tonight, deafening voices echoed in front of the palace. Under the light of the sky, the ministers finally stood up first.
