Zhao Heng, supported by Liu E, took the lead in walking towards the star observatory.
His steps were a little shaky, and as he walked, half of his body was slumped in Liu E's arms.
He was walking with Liu E's strength.
Everyone followed Zhao Heng's footsteps to the observatory.
Zhao Heng, supported by Liu E, stood in the middle of the observatory. Accompanying him on the left and right sides were Kou Zhun and Cao Wei.
The Zhao clan members took a step away and stood behind him.
The civil and military officials were not qualified to approach Zhao Heng, so they all stood at the back.
"Xiao Kou Aiqing, come here and stand next to me."
Zhao Heng waved to Kou Ji, who was standing at the back.
Under the gaze of everyone, Kou Ji bravely walked to Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng raised his eyes and looked at the brightly lit Yuqing Zhaoying Palace not far away, and said with a smile: "I am very relieved to see Yi'er's body getting stronger day by day. Xiao Kou loves you, I have to thank you.
I promised you that I would give you a reward.
Let’s talk about it.
What do you want?
As long as I can get it, I won't be stingy."
After Zhao Heng finished speaking, both the Zhao family members and the civil and military officials all looked at Kou Ji.
There was an indescribable feeling in their eyes.
Kou Ji was stunned.
He was a little confused.
He really didn't understand the purpose of Zhao Heng's sudden proposal of reward.
He subconsciously looked at Kou Zhun.
When Kou Zhun saw this, a smile appeared on his lips.
He was really afraid that Kou Ji would not understand the importance and open his mouth to say some reward that would embarrass Zhao Heng.
Kou Ji looked at him, asking for help, and at the same time giving him the choice of reward.
Kou Zhun turned slightly sideways, faced Zhao Heng, cupped his hands and said: "The official's words are serious. My grandson has been favored by the official and has been recruited to serve as the prince's attendant. This is already a generous gift. I don't dare to expect to be promoted to a higher position."
My grandson has lived in the countryside for a long time, entered school late, and has never had a name.
If an official really wants a reward, why not just give him a cousin.
With the title given by the official, and my grandson serving as the prince's attendant, no one else can make a mistake."
Zhao Heng glanced at Kou Zhun and said teasingly: "You old man has a good plan. Biaozi is always given by teachers. If I give you Biaozi, Kou Ji will be my student."
Those who passed the imperial examinations always regarded themselves as disciples of the emperor, but I have never admitted it.
If I give him the nickname Kou Ji, it will be like recognizing him as a student.
Even if my only student makes a mistake, he can only be punished lightly.
You old man, you are asking for a favor, and you are obviously asking for immunity from death."
Kou Zhun smiled lightly, not feeling ashamed because Zhao Heng exposed his inner thoughts.
Zhao Heng changed the topic and said: "But I don't intend to follow your wishes. What I want to reward is Xiao Kou Aiqing. Xiao Kou Aiqing will do it after he says it, but you won't count it after you say it."
Zhao Heng's eyes fell on Kou Ji, looking at him with a half-smile.
Probably expecting him to give a different answer than Kou Zhun.
Kou Ji smiled dryly, cupped his hands and said, "When an official comes to this observatory, he must have something important to do. Business is important. I will talk about my reward later."
Zhao Heng was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "You know the general idea..."
After a pause, Zhao Heng sighed, "I'm afraid I won't be in the mood to reward you for a while..."
Zhao Heng lowered his head and looked at Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, and said quietly: "I have been asking for immortality all my life, and I have been fooled by others all my life. I envy immortality, but I also hate it. I will give you the name of immortality, and I hope you will always be by Yi'er's side. , reminding him all the time, don’t let him learn from me.”
Kou Jigang was about to bow and thank him.
Then he saw two balls of flame burning brightly in Zhao Heng's eyes.
"These are the people who have deceived me all my life with the word "immortality." Now I want them to know the price of deceiving me."
Zhao Heng gritted his teeth and roared.
"Cao Wei?!"
Cao Wei came out of the queue, cupped his fists and said, "I'm here!"
Zhao Heng had a ferocious look on his face and uttered one word.
"kill!"
An ox-horn bow appeared in Cao Wei's hand.
Cao Wei bent his bow and set an arrow, and the arrows kept shooting out.
The sounding arrow soared into the sky.
The whistle at the end of the arrow made a sharp sound under the impact of the air.
Yuqing Zhaoying was attracted by the sound of arrows as all the Taoists in the palace looked at him.
Immediately afterwards, they saw Zhao Heng and others on the star observation tower.
"Official family?"
"Why did the officials go to the Star Observation Tower?"
"..."
The Taoists were whispering to each other.
Seeing this, the leading Taoists frowned.
Zhao Heng's abnormal behavior gave them a bad feeling.
"Dong dong dong..."
Suddenly, the sound of drums started.
Thousands of large drums set up on the imperial city were beaten simultaneously.
Under the cover of drumbeats.
Countless soldiers rushed out of the palaces surrounding Yuqing Zhaoying Palace.
Wearing armor and holding swords, they surrounded Yuqing Zhaoying Palace.
The dream of the Taoists as national masters was awakened the moment the soldiers appeared.
"The officials... want to kill us?"
"How could..."
"..."
The Taoists were shocked.
The Taoist man immediately ran outside Yuqing Zhaoying Palace.
As soon as they rushed to the door, they were shot into a sieve by the soldiers who came with their bows and crossbows.
"Seal the door!"
Following the order from the Forbidden Army General.
The soldiers of the Forbidden Army sealed the four doors of Yuqing Zhaoying Palace.
"put!"
The crossbowmen dipped their arrows in fierce fire oil, lit them, and shot them into the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace.
A hail of flaming arrows rained down majestically.
Just for a moment.
The Yuqing Zhaoying Palace turned into a sea of fire.
The Taoists trapped inside roared and shouted.
The firemen screamed one by one and ran wildly in Yuqing Zhaoying Palace.
"Zhao Heng?! How dare you?"
A Taoist man cried out in despair in Yuqing Zhaoying Palace.
"Let it go~"
"Swish swish~"
Another round of arrows fell.
"Let it go~"
"..."
"Put it down~"
"..."
Kou Ji no longer remembers how many times he fired the flaming arrows.
Under the projection of rounds of arrows, Yuqing Zhaoying Palace has turned into a Shura field.
One Taoist was covered in flames and howling, and soon he turned into a charred corpse and fell to the ground.
A Taoist man was hiding in a corner, his eyes wide open and roaring in terror, like a wild beast roaring.
There were also Taoists who let the flames burn on their bodies and cursed Zhao Heng.
There are more Taoists running for their lives.
A group of them gathered at the four gates of Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, banging the doors desperately and shouting loudly.
Their nails dug into the door, and they couldn't even feel it.
Traces of blood followed their fingers and landed on the door.
A wise Taoist used the flames to burn through the door.
After escaping, another door stood in front of them.
It was a stone gate built with bluestone.
There is an iron plate behind the stone gate, supported by a huge tree, and guarded by soldiers of the Forbidden Army.
They tried their best, but they couldn't break the stone door.
They clung to the stone door in despair, howling.
…
Thick smoke billowed and wails were heard everywhere.
More than two thousand Taoist officials and more than four thousand Taoists were all buried in Yuqing Zhaoying Palace.
The thick smell of burnt meat and corpse oil poured into Kou Ji's nasal cavity.
Kou Ji stared, trembling all over, resisting the vomiting feeling in his heart.
He has also seen dead people.
But it was the first time for him to see corpses everywhere and a miserable situation like hell on earth.
Kou Ji was not the only one to witness this hell on earth.
All the Zhao family members, civil and military officials, all witnessed this scene.
The expressions on their faces are not very pretty.
Even the martial arts warriors who were used to seeing fighting scenes often frowned when they saw the tragic situation in Yuqing Zhaoying Palace.
Only one person present was laughing.
That is Zhao Heng.
He laughed very loudly and heartily, like a madman.
Kou Ji could hear the pleasure of revenge in his smile.
"Ugh~"
One of the Zhao clan members, who had never experienced a killing field, couldn't help but vomited it out.
Immediately afterwards, more people vomited.
"Ugh~"
Kou Ji couldn't hold it back and vomited it out.
"Hehehehehe..."
When Zhao Heng saw this, he laughed even louder.
"My dear friends, how do you think of this great show I have prepared for you?"
A royal censor said with a pale face: "This move by the officials will harm the world... vomit..."
"Is it hurting Tianhe?"
Zhao Heng sneered: "I think they deserve their punishment."
Zhao Heng glanced at everyone and said: "Now, I can tell you why I want to execute those criminal officials and these Taoists for treason."
"Hey hey hey... Xiao Kou Aiqing, can you still speak?"
Zhao Heng stared at Kou Ji and asked.
When Kou Ji heard Zhao Heng's words, he wiped the corners of his mouth, stood up straight and said, "Yes..."
Zhao Heng pointed to the civil and military officials and the Zhao family members, and said, "Tell them why I want to execute these people."
Kou Ji nodded slowly, suppressing the feeling of vomiting in his heart, and said in a hoarse voice: "These Taoists, as well as those criminal officials, all committed the crime of treason in murdering your father.
In the name of immortality, they paid tribute to the officials with poisonous elixirs, which caused the officials to be severely poisoned.
The reason why the official dragon body is so weak and often bedridden is because of the poison."
"What?"
"Are those elixirs poisonous?"
"..."
Whether it was the Zhao family members or the civil and military officials, they were all shocked when they heard this.
The Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Kou Ji's arm, and said in shock: "Are you telling the truth?"
Kou Ji nodded and whispered: "This matter was verified by the official, the official family, the queen, my grandfather and others."
Zhao Yuanyan tightened his hands and said hurriedly: "Is there any way to cure it?"
Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "The poison in the official family has penetrated into the bone marrow, and there is no cure."
"How could..."
"Hey hey hey..."
Zhao Heng sneered and said: "Eighth Emperor brother, you do care about me. But I don't know whether you really care about me or you are looking forward to my early death."
Zhao Yuanyan's expression changed and he exclaimed: "The officials and my brother have absolutely no such intention."
Zhao Heng said with a quizzical smile: "People's hearts are separated from each other. Only you know what you are thinking."
Zhao Yuanyan's expression changed again and again. He suddenly fell to his knees on the ground and exclaimed: "Guan family, my brother has no second thoughts about you..."
"I don't know what you are thinking, but I know that you don't have the guts to murder me. As for other people..."
Zhao Heng's eyes fell on those Zhao clan clan members.
When the Zhao clan members saw this, their faces turned pale.
Zhao Heng stared at them and said to Kou Ji: "Kou Ji, tell them, tell them the harm of the poison in me, especially the most important point, which must not be missed."
Kou Ji understood Zhao Heng's words, and he said without any hesitation: "Suffering from erysipelas, it is difficult for children to have successful heirs."
"Yes! If you suffer from erysipelas, it will be difficult for you to have heirs."
Zhao Heng gritted his teeth and repeated Kou Ji's words. He looked at the Zhao clan and roared: "You! Some of you want me to cut off my descendants!"
When the Zhao family members heard this, they were shocked.
Some people opened their mouths to defend themselves, while others simply fell to their knees on the ground.
But now that Zhao Heng had pointed them out, he had no intention of letting them go.
"Zhao Congxing, Zhao Congzhao... I found out that you are connected with those demons... I am not kind to you, why do you treat me like this..."
"Zhao Congyang... I found out that you had some connections with those demons... After I ascended the throne, I did not pursue the faults of the three uncles of the past emperors, and pardoned you, allowing you to become officials in the dynasty, and you were promoted to nobles. But you are
Are you doing this to me?"
"You group of thieves, you group of thieves, how dare you unite together, collude with demons, and plot to kill me and my prince!"
"I'm going to kill you!"
The more Zhao Heng talked, the angrier he got, and the more he talked, the angrier he got, and finally he was shouting almost like a roar.
"You are hoping that I will cut off my descendants so that your descendants can have a chance to inherit the throne, right?"
"I will kill you gang of thieves today! I will put an end to your thoughts!"
When the named Zhao clan members and their relatives heard this, they all knelt on the ground and shouted that they were wronged.
"Official! My nephew was wronged!"
"Guan family! Listen to my nephew's explanation. My nephew has never colluded with demons!"
"..."
Zhao Heng had gone crazy from the moment he ordered Cao Wei to kill the Taoists.
Now he is even more like a madman, so I will listen to their explanation.
He didn't know where he got the strength, so he broke away from Liu E's support, snatched the bronze hammer from the guard beside him, swung it up and hit the Zhao clan's head.
"Bang!"
The copper hammer fell on a clan member of the Zhao family and was killed on the spot.
The brain matter was mixed with blood and splashed all over Zhao Heng's face.
Kou Ji, who was relatively close to Zhao Heng, was also splashed.
The Zhao family members, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, were frightened by this scene.
When Zhao Heng went to find the next Zhao clan member with the copper hammer, someone finally reacted.
They dispersed in a hurry and ran around on the stargazing tower.
One of the censors rushed forward to stop Zhao Heng, intending to calm him down, but Zhao Heng knocked him down with a hammer.
Carrying a copper hammer, Zhao Heng chased after the Zhao clan members. Every Zhao clan member he bumped into would inevitably be hit with a hammer.
In an instant, three relatives of the Zhao family were killed at the hands of Zhao Heng.
Kou Ji stared at this scene blankly and murmured: "This is also..."
Liu E looked at Zhao Heng anxiously. When she heard Kou Ji's words, she raised her eyebrows and glared at him.
Kou Ji was sobered by this glare. He was shocked and shouted: "Quickly stop the officials!"
Everyone heard what he said, but no one dared to move.
Didn’t you see that the censor who blocked the official family just now was hit with more air coming out than in?
Kou Ji shouted anxiously: "Back to the light, back to the light! Back to the light and back to the light!"
When Liu E, Kou Zhun and others heard this, they immediately understood what Kou Ji meant.
A sick man who had to rely on others to help him walk suddenly suddenly walks like flying. Isn't this a return to his former glory?
What about after the flashback?
Hiss~
Liu E, Kou Zhun and others took a breath of air.
Liu E screamed, "Quick! Stop the officials!"
Kou Zhun looked directly at Cao Wei, "Privacy Cao, take action quickly!"
Cao Wei looked embarrassed.
Liu E also realized that the only one who had the ability and qualification to stop Zhao Heng at this time was Cao Wei.
"No matter what happens, I and Kou Zhun will guarantee you. Go quickly!"
Cao Wei nodded and rushed towards Zhao Heng.
Cao Wei rushed forward and slashed Zhao Heng's neck with a knife, causing Zhao Heng to faint on the spot.
