Just like the outer city, the gates of the inner city were blown open by the Habayashi Guards in the same way.
The inner city is more fragile than the outer city, and it only took the same amount of gunpowder as the outer city gate to make it fall apart.
The door of the inner palace was wide open, and Li Xun led the Yulin Guards and Xiaoqi Guards to attack from left to right.
Then the troops were divided into three groups, one going to the Qinzheng Palace, the other to the imperial study, and the third to the emperor's palace.
The Qinzheng Hall is where hundreds of officials go to court, the Royal Study is where the emperor handles government affairs, and the Bedroom is where the emperor rests.
If these three places are captured, Li Xun will be the true emperor.
When Li Xun led his troops into the Qinzheng Hall, he saw Emperor Zhou sitting on the dragon throne and the Imperial Advisor standing next to Emperor Zhou.
Zhou Guo looked at Li Xun and smiled: "You are here."
Li Xun stared straight at the dragon chair: "Are you satisfied?"
Emperor Zhou smiled and said: "I am very satisfied. It seems that you have noticed it early in the morning."
Li Xun said, "I had some guesses at first, but now I can confirm it."
Emperor Zhou looked at Li Xun and said, "Yes, if it were another concubine prince, not to mention palace changes, not even any of the twelve generals would want to see you, not to mention you were born to a palace maid? All this is my arrangement.
, it was also my encouragement."
Li Xun said, "So, it was your arrangement that the imperial master dressed up as a man in black and taught me martial arts since I was very young."
Emperor Zhou nodded and said: "Yes, you are inseparable from the guidance of the Imperial Master today. You are the plan I laid out for nearly twenty years, and you are also the emperor I spent twenty years of hard work creating."
Li Xun smiled and said: "Create an emperor to create your own rebellion?"
Emperor Zhou looked at Li Xun and asked, "What? Do you want to know the reason?"
Li Xun opened his mouth and said, "I would like to hear it."
Emperor Zhou said: "When I took over the court from the late emperor, there were many aristocratic families in the court. The Yang family, which originally occupied half of the court, was my subordinate minister, so after I came to the throne, the imperial power was taken over by the Prime Minister.
Suppress, the concubines in the harem are also the noble daughters of aristocratic families."
"I have spent twenty years purging the court, hoeing out the strong and supporting the weak, giving priority to poor families, making the court that was covered by the Yang family become stable again, and suppressing the power of the prime minister under the imperial power again, but the prince
He was born to the legitimate daughter of the Yang family, and King Duan and Prince Run are also the blood of the legitimate daughter of the family. When I am a hundred years from now, no matter who succeeds to the throne, the court will be in the same situation as it was when I came to the throne. My twenty years of hard work will
Burned to the ground."
"If the new emperor follows the same path as I did at that time, it will be nothing more than a waste of time and a waste of national power. In order to prevent this from happening, I created you. You are a commoner, and no aristocratic family will place bets on you.
.”
"But for a person like you, the throne will never be yours. The civil and military officials will not allow me to pass the throne to you. They will definitely obstruct it in every possible way. Therefore, if you want to ascend the throne, there is no other way except palace coup."
.”
"You were bullied by those princes and princesses when you were a child. When you grow up, I will still let you stay in the palace and be looked down upon by them, so that you will have the motivation to seize the throne. This is what I envisioned before I created you.
Road, of course, what surprises me is that there is a girl born with you, and this girl is also sick."
"Originally, I wanted to kill this girl, because all I need is you, but what I didn't expect is that as you grow bigger, her existence will make your progress even faster.
So I kept her. Without her, you wouldn't have reached this point so quickly. You should thank her."
Li Xun looked at Emperor Zhou and said coldly: "Don't think that I will be grateful to you because you trained me. On the contrary, if you had murderous intentions towards Mingyue, I will not let you go!"
Emperor Zhou smiled and said: "Yes, I have always had murderous intentions towards that girl. Do you know? I wanted to kill her when I was sent as ambassador to the Chu State. If you kill her, you will be hostile to the Chu State.
, you will definitely try your best to attack the Chu State, but later I was very glad that she did not die, because the strength of the Chu State is far stronger than that of my Zhou State. When the time comes, you will just attack the Chu State with an egg against a stone, so later I will
I want your sister to get married, and I want to kill her on the way, so that you will definitely find ways to take over the Western Region in the future."
Li Xun clenched his fists and said, "So, you have always used Mingyue as your tool?!"
Emperor Zhou looked at Li Xun and said, "Even you are my tool!"
Li Xun's voice was full of coldness: "So my mother fell into the water and died because of your instructions?"
Emperor Zhou shook his head and said: "I didn't ask for it, but I had thought that she would have this day. The emperor favored a palace maid, and it was not surprising what the outcome of this palace maid would be. The harem struggle was not as fierce as the party struggle, but it was not much worse. Suddenly,
If you get into a little white rabbit, sooner or later it will be eaten by a wolf."
Li Xun looked at Emperor Zhou, the anger in his eyes getting stronger and stronger.
His mother died indirectly in his hands, and he also tried to kill Mingyue several times. All of this made Li Xun have a strong murderous intention towards Emperor Zhou.
When he was a child, there were only two people who were good to him, one was his mother and the other was his sister.
However, Emperor Zhou said that he knew that his mother would die and did not want to stop her.
What he said was so light and calm, as if the person who died was just an ant, without any thoughts or feelings.
Finally, Li Xun's eyes narrowed, and he rushed toward Emperor Zhou with his sword.
Upon seeing this, the Imperial Master of the State of Zhou stepped forward and blocked Li Xun.
"Are you going to block me?" Li Xun glared at the person who once preached and taught him. He no longer had the respect he had before. In other words, Li Xun's respect for him at the beginning was just to use the national master, and it is no longer needed.
.
Master Zhou Guoguo looked at Li Xun and said, "You are killing your father!"
Li Xun said: "So what?"
Emperor Zhou looked at Wei Yulin and said: "You still don't protect me! Do you want to continue acting with him?!"
But no one from the Habayashi Guards dared to make any move.
Li Xun sneered and said: "I know they used to be close to me because of you, but now they will only take orders from me and will not listen to you anymore! Are you desperate?"
When Emperor Zhou heard Li Xun's words, he smiled freely: "No, I am even more satisfied, because I have truly created an emperor who is free to advance and retreat without being restricted by anyone. If you can't even use them for your own use,
That means my twenty years of hard work have been in vain."
When Li Xun heard what Emperor Zhou said, he said in a cold voice: "You have really been living your whole life in calculations, you are extremely cold-blooded and ruthless!"
Emperor Zhou said calmly: "Emperors are not supposed to have feelings. Only after you have sat in my position for ten years can you be qualified to judge my rights and wrongs."
