The old Kou Zhun suddenly became much more muscular. He pulled the astonished Kou Ji and took a few dozen steps out of the Chui Gong Hall.
As soon as he left the palace gate, he met Zhu Neng, who was wearing armor and holding a sword, and hurried over.
Zhu Neng was also stunned when he saw Kou Zhun's grandparents.
"Master, what are you doing?"
Kou Zhun urged: "Don't say anything and escape from here quickly."
When Zhu Neng heard this, he was startled. His eyes were as big as copper bells, and he shouted in shock: "Guan family?!"
Kou Zhun said in a deep voice: "The official family has no worries, it was Liu E who caused the big trouble."
Zhu Neng hesitated for a moment and whispered: "The rebellion has been put down. Most of the people inside and outside the imperial city are our people."
The implication.
Even if Liu E caused some trouble, as long as Kou Zhun gave an order, he could immediately lead his army to bring order to the chaos.
Kou Zhun stamped his feet and lamented: "Liu E had Zhao Yuanyan's head chopped off."
"hiss……"
Zhu Neng took a breath of air and said in shock: "That's really a big disaster..."
Kou Zhun glanced at Zhu Neng and urged: "The palace will soon become a place for King Chu to make trouble. Let's leave here as soon as possible to avoid being accidentally injured by King Chu."
After saying this, Kou Zhun dragged Kou Ji to leave.
Zhu Neng raised his hand and grabbed Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun stared, "What are you doing?"
Zhu Neng said with a bitter face: "When I came down from the Imperial City, I had already seen the carriage of King Chu appearing outside Donghua Gate. King Chu must have known that Zhao Yuanyan was dead by now.
If you go out now, you will definitely bump into King Chu.
You will bear the brunt of King Chu’s wrath.”
Kou Zhun beat his chest and said unwillingly: "I should not corrupt the money given by the officials and the queen..."
After Kou Zhun muttered something, he dragged Kou Ji and led Zhu Neng towards Chui Gong Hall.
As he walked, he whispered to Kou Ji and Zhu Neng.
"When the King of Chu, Zhao Yuanzuo, arrives later, you should hide behind others. When he has vented his anger on others, we will take the opportunity to escape from the palace."
When Kou Ji and Zhu Neng heard this, they looked at each other.
Zhu Neng removed his sword behind the arched palace door.
The three of them entered the Chui Gong Hall.
In the Chui Gong Hall, the eunuchs ranging from Zhao Zhen and Liu E to Chen Lin and Guo Huai looked gloomy.
I saw Kou Zhun reappearing in Chui Gong Hall.
The people in Chui Gong Hall were also stunned.
Zhao Zhen said with some surprise: "Master, are you planning to stay and help me solve my worries?"
Kou Zhun shook his head and said angrily: "King Chu's carriage has arrived outside the palace, and I can't get out."
Inside the Chui Gong Hall.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
Liu E's face was ashen.
Xia Song came close to Liu E and whispered: "Mother, when the King of Chu went crazy, he didn't recognize his relatives. In the past, Emperor Taizong was helpless against him, so you'd better avoid him."
Liu E gritted her teeth and nodded in humiliation.
"Shua..."
Liu E shook her sleeves and walked decisively outside Chui Gong Hall without saying a word.
Everyone in Chui Gong Hall was shocked and speechless.
Did you cause the trouble?
Do you still want to leave?
Most people in Chui Gong Hall were unwilling to let Liu E go.
But they were not qualified to force Liu E to stay.
The only people who were qualified to force Liu E to stay were Kou Zhun and Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen opened his mouth but stopped talking.
Watching Liu E leave Chui Gong Hall.
Kou Zhun stared at Liu E's leaving figure and sneered, but said nothing.
After Liu E left.
Chen Lin suddenly took a few steps forward, kicked Guo Huai who was lying on the ground several times, and yelled with an extremely dissatisfied voice: "Why don't you go behind the Chui Gong Hall and wait for punishment?"
Hearing this, Guo Huai hurriedly got up and ran towards the back of Chui Gong Hall.
This scene.
No one paid attention except Kou Ji.
After Liu E left, Zhao Zhen asked Kou Zhun bitterly, "Master, what should we do now?"
Kou Zhun let out a long sigh, and his eyes fell on the two masters of equipment supervision, "Are you two the only ones who assassinated the Eight Kings?"
One of the masters of the equipment inspection cupped his hands and said solemnly: "There are four people in the humble group, and two of them were killed in the rebellion."
Kou Zhun nodded slowly, looked at Zhao Zhen, and was about to speak.
Then he saw another expert in the equipment supervision and said in a deep voice: "Beiji and others are also acting under orders. Now, in order to avoid trouble, the Queen Mother has left the two of Beiji behind. The two of Beiji are not willing to bring trouble to the officials.
The two humble men are willing to die to apologize in order to appease the anger of the King of Chu."
"No!"
Kou Ji blurted out two words.
But other people in the Chui Gong Hall did not stop the two masters of equipment supervision.
The two masters of the equipment supervision suddenly stood up and struggled to install them on the pillars in the Chui Gong Hall.
Kou Ji clenched his fists subconsciously and stopped talking.
His eyes fell on Chen Lin vaguely.
Just now he was still guessing why the people around Liu E suddenly became so stupid.
Guo Huai, an old eunuch who had experienced two dynasties and had never faded in favor, would actually say such stupid things in front of everyone.
The master of the equipment inspection actually chopped off Zhao Yuanyan's head without asking Liu E for instructions.
Now that he saw two masters of equipment supervision willingly committing suicide, Kou Ji felt that there were other driving forces behind this incident.
And this promoter is probably Chen Lin.
Chen Lin once told Kou Ji that Guo Huai followed him.
In other words, Chen Lin knows Guo Huai very well.
With Guo Huai's greedy temper, it would be easy for Chen Lin to take advantage of Guo Huai.
It is even easier to force Guo Huai to do stupid things.
Liu E can dispatch expert equipment supervisors, and Chen Lin can do the same.
As for the person who could bypass Liu E and issue orders directly to the equipment supervisor, only Chen Lin, the equipment supervisor, was truly in control.
Only he can force the masters in the equipment prison to commit suicide willingly.
Chen Lin, an old guy, is really awesome.
Just don't take action.
As soon as he took action, Liu E was forced into an abyss.
Chen Lin seemed to feel Kou Ji's gaze, glanced briefly at Kou Ji, gave Kou Ji an inscrutable look, then bowed her waist and returned to Zhao Zhen, standing like a loyal old servant.
Kou Ji felt that he needed to re-examine Chen Lin.
Zhao Zhen, who was standing in front of the dragon chair, looked at the two masters of equipment supervision who were knocked to death on the Chui Gong Hall. He opened his mouth, but could not say a word.
There was some sadness in his eyes.
An important minister slowly stepped forward and said: "The officials should put the heads of these two thieves into a brocade box to appease the anger of King Chu."
Zhao Zhen took a deep breath and said quietly: "They are not thieves!"
Zhao Zhen ordered Chen Lin beside him: "Send someone to collect their corpses and show them to the great uncle when he arrives."
Chen Lin agreed and sent people to collect the corpses of the equipment supervisor.
Later.
Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun, Kou Ji and others were waiting quietly in the main hall.
Not long after, Di Qing led Zhu You to Chui Gong Hall, knelt down on one knee and reported the results of the battle.
Zhao Zhen asked Di Qing and others to stay aside until everything was settled, and then they would discuss their merits and reward them.
Not long after Di Qing entered Chui Gong Hall.
Representatives from Gao, Shi, Cao, Pan and other families also arrived at the palace to express their loyalty to Zhao Zhen and report the results of the battle.
Zhejixuan is also on this list.
King Zhao Yuanzuo of Chu was the last to enter the palace.
He didn't know where the golden crown on his head was thrown, and he walked into the Chui Gong Hall wearing a lining.
Behind him, several guards were carrying a corpse, and his python robe was covering the corpse.
Everyone in the Chui Gong Hall saw the King of Chu, Zhao Yuanzuo, and all of them were heartbroken.
After Chu King Zhao Yuanzuo entered the Chuigong Hall, his eyes seemed to be burning with fire, and he looked around the hall in an extremely rude manner.
"Who...who killed him?"
Zhao Yuanzuo's voice was hoarse, as if he had just experienced pain, and there seemed to be surging anger in his voice.
Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Emperor, the death of Uncle Eighth Emperor was not what I wanted. I..."
Zhao Yuanzuo raised his head and growled with red eyes: "It's a high-sounding statement. Don't tell me more. I just want to know who killed him?"
Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and said: "The person who killed Uncle Eight Emperors is dead."
"Corpse?!"
Zhao Yuanzuo questioned.
Zhao Zhen quickly sent people to carry out the corpses of the two masters of equipment supervision.
Zhao Yuanzuo glanced at the two corpses, and his eyes fell on Zhao Zhen.
To be precise, it was on the dragon chair behind Zhao Zhen.
"Is the throne really that good? So good that people don't even care about family ties?"
"For that position, blood relatives killed each other..."
"..."
"Whoa!"
Zhao Yuanzuo took out the sword from his waist and ran towards Zhao Zhen with red eyes.
Everyone in Chui Gong Hall was startled.
Chen Lin exclaimed: "Escort! Escort!"
Di Qing, Zhu Neng and others came forward to block Zhao Yuanzuo's path.
Facing the obstruction of Di Qing, Zhu Neng and others, Zhao Yuanzuo slashed with his sword.
"Get out of the way!"
"Officials also stay away!"
"Let King Chu pass!"
"..."
Critical moment.
It was Kou Zhun who shouted, reminding everyone and getting out of the way.
Otherwise, Zhu Neng, Di Qing and others would have to endure Zhao Yuanzuo's execution.
Zhao Zhen was dragged to the side by Kou Zhun. Di Qing and others quickly stepped forward and blocked Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Yuanzuo jumped up the imperial steps, brandished the sword in his hand, and chopped down the dragon chair.
Everyone in Chui Gong Hall just stared blankly at Zhao Yuanzuo chopping up the dragon chair.
A few breaths.
The dragon chair was chopped into pieces.
After cutting down the dragon chair, Zhao Yuanzuo stared at Zhao Zhen with red eyes and growled: "You are not allowed to sit on the dragon chair again in the future!"
Zhao Zhen nodded stiffly.
"Who ordered it?"
Zhao Yuanzuo asked, but there was silence in Chui Gong Hall.
"Forget it...I know even if you don't tell me..."
Zhao Yuanzuo muttered to himself.
"Liu E! You deserve to die!"
Zhao Yuanzuo took his sword, stepped out of the Chui Gong Hall, and ran towards Liu E's bedroom.
Zhao Zhen was startled and rushed out following Zhao Yuanzuo's footsteps.
Everyone in Chui Gong Hall rushed out after him.
Rushing all the way to Liu E's palace, they saw Zhao Yuanzuo setting fire to other palaces around Liu E's palace.
Zhao Zhen and others just stared blankly.
No one dared to step forward to stop him.
Several eunuchs rushed out from the nearby palace. Gong E tried to stop them, but Zhao Yuanzuo had already chopped them to the ground.
After Zhao Yuanzuo set fire to the surrounding palace.
He then went to the door of Liu E's palace with his sword and hacked to death the female official at the door of Liu E's palace. He stood guard in front of Liu E's palace and refused to retreat.
When Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun and others saw this scene, they didn't know how to deal with it.
I have no idea what Zhao Yuanzuo was planning to do when he burned down the palace surrounding Liu E's palace.
I don’t know why Zhao Yuanzuo didn’t rush in and kill his enemy after he arrived at the door of Liu E’s palace.
"Uncle the Great Emperor..."
Zhao Zhen, accompanied by Kou Zhun, walked to Zhao Yuanzuo and called out softly.
Zhao Yuanzuo said in a low voice: "Purge the palace around the palace and build me a house at the door of the palace. I will stay here all the time."
Zhao Zhen lamented: "Uncle Emperor, why is this happening?"
Zhao Yuanzuo did not answer Zhao Zhen's question. Instead, he turned around, stared at Zhao Zhen and said, "Uncle destroyed several of your palaces and occupied a corner of your palace. Uncle is willing to use his official title and the food in his name as compensation."
When Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun and others heard this, they were all stunned.
Zhao Yuanzuo, who was so murderous just now, suddenly seems to have changed his temper.
Could it be that living in the house for many years has smoothed out that temperament?
When they thought of this, Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun and others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Yuanzuo and said: "Uncle Emperor..."
"Call uncle..."
"Uncle, why are you doing this?"
Zhao Yuanzuo smiled cruelly, "Because I suddenly felt that killing Liu E directly would be too easy for her. I am going to stay here and block the palace gate so that she can never get out."
"captivity……"
Someone whispered softly.
But I heard Zhao Yuanzuo continue: "I also want to stop the people who are bringing food and water inside..."
Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun and others instantly stared.
There were at least a hundred people in Liu E's palace.
Is there any place to store food inside? If no one delivers food or water, the people inside will have to... if they want to survive.
I thought about what would happen if nearly a hundred people had no food or water.
Kou Zhun, Kou Ji and others all took a breath of air.
Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.
A moment.
The door to Liu E's palace became quiet.
There was silence for a long time.
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but said: "Uncle..."
Zhao Yuanzuo laughed in a low voice and said: "You can send people in to bring food and water. As long as you send people to bring things in, I will set fire to this place and burn all the people inside."
After a pause, Zhao Yuanzuo handed the sword in his hand to Zhao Zhen again, "Of course, you can also kill me and save Liu E."
Zhao Zhen was trembling all over and didn't dare to pick up the sword.
A moment.
The door of Liu E's palace became quiet again.
The furious scene of Zhao Yuanzuo that everyone expected did not happen.
Zhao Yuanzuo seemed very calm.
But after Zhao Yuanzuo calmed down, he became even more terrifying.
"Guan family, let's go back to Chui Gong Hall first..."
Kou Zhun broke the deadlock and asked someone to help Zhao Zhen, who was confused, and left the door of Liu E's palace.
The rest of the people also left the door of Liu E's palace, leaving only Zhao Yuanzuo and a few guards loyal to Zhao Yuanzuo, guarding the door of Liu E's palace.
