MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1108 Speak for the readers of the world!
Chapter 1108 Speak for the scholars all over the world!
Li Xin, dressed in black armor, was walking on the steps of Weiyang Palace, the shadow of the elder who was pulled by the early morning sun.
Followed behind him were fifty guards.
At this time, only the last hundred or so inner guards in the Weiyang Palace remained in the defense force of the inner city of the imperial city. Almost all the others died in the hands of the Hanzhou army.
Li Xin walked slowly into the Weiyang Palace with fifty personal guards.
Over the years, Li Xin has walked into the emperor's bedroom many times, and every time he feels different.
During the Chengde Dynasty, the emperor's bedroom was not yet in the Weiyang Palace. He entered Changle Palace twice, each time walking on thin ice and trembling with fear. During the Taikang Dynasty, the emperor's bedroom was moved from Changle Palace to Weiyang Palace. Since then, Li Xin often went in and out of the palace in front of him.
However, in the ten years of the Taikang Dynasty, although Li Xin had a very high status and could enter and leave the palace at any time, when facing the emperor Taikang, he still had to abide by the etiquette of monarchs and ministers and behaved well.
Even in the Yuan Zhao Dynasty, Li Xin, as the emperor's teacher, did not transcend the rules between monarchs and ministers.
But this time...it's different.
Li Xin strode into the Weiyang Palace, holding his head high.
This palace, he is too familiar, even more familiar than the emperor today, he walked straight into the main hall of Weiyang Palace.
At this time, it was the late autumn of the fifth year of Yuanzhao, and the exact time was September 20th, at the beginning of the hour, and the sun was shining.
Li Xin in black armor walked into the hall with his hands on his back.
At this time, most of the officials of the imperial court were basically trapped in this hall, including the great nine ministers of the imperial court, several Zaifu of the Shangshutai, and officials of all sizes in the six ministries.
Of course, there is also the emperor who sits high on the throne.
The Son of Heaven sat quietly on the high throne, with no expression on his face.
The last remaining 100 people in the inner guard, to be exact, should be the guards from the guard battalion. They each drew their swords and stopped in front of Li Xin.
General Li glanced at the guards and soldiers indifferently, and his tone was calm: "The three guards are almost dead and wounded. From Yong'anmen to Weiyang Palace, every checkpoint has been controlled by our Southwest Army, and now there are almost all of them in the imperial city. The 20,000 Southwest Army, 100 more dead at this time, 100 less dead, makes no difference to me."
"You throw down the swords in your hands now, and remove your armor on the spot, I can let you out."
More than 100 guard battalion soldiers firmly grasped the swords in their hands, and no one retreated.
For those who can enter the guard camp, their personal kung fu skills are second, and the most important thing is their loyalty to the emperor. Each of these more than 100 people is the elite of the elite. As long as the emperor says a word, let them commit suicide, they will They won't frown, let alone surrender at this time.
Li Xin's eyes turned cold, and he was about to wave his hand to give an order. The emperor sat on the throne and kept his eyes closed, and finally slowly opened his glasses.
His voice was hoarse: "All... step back."
More than a hundred guard soldiers, after hearing the emperor's order, let out their last breath. They threw down the swords in their hands, and then took off their armor, like walking dead, and left the Weiyang Palace. .
The emperor stood up from the throne, looked up at Li Xin, and tried to keep his voice calm.
"I thought this day wouldn't come so soon..."
Because he had some reverence for Li Xin since he was a child, since the Yuan Zhao Dynasty completely stood on the opposite side of Li Xin, His Majesty the Emperor often dreamed about his teacher, who took a knife and entered the imperial city, He expelled himself from the throne.
Dreamed more than once.
This is also the reason why this emperor has made frequent mistakes in his decisions in the past year or two. He was born with some fear of Li Xin. Later, he mistakenly attributed this fear to the head of the firearm, and then got into the firearm wholeheartedly. , seldom inquired about political affairs.
Li Xin took two steps forward, first glanced at the trembling civil and military officials in the hall, and then raised his eyes to look at the emperor, with a faint smile on his face: "I originally thought that this day would not come so soon. ."
Having said this, Li Xin paused, and then continued: "If Your Majesty is smart enough, this day may never come."
Emperor Yuanzhao laughed at himself: "Teacher means, in the first year of Yuanzhao, I let you abolish the four ministers?"
"At that time, I was still young, and the four ministers left the court. The capital is the master and you alone have the final say. In that case, today's events are only five years ahead of schedule."
A bright smile appeared on General Li's face.
"At this time, I told Your Majesty that five years ago, I still wanted to be a Taiping Marquis in the Dajin court. Most of them would not believe it, whether it was His Majesty or the princes in the court."
"But it doesn't matter."
The smile on Li Xin's face subsided, and his tone became much colder: "Now it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not."
After saying these words, General Li took out his azure matching sword from his waist and said calmly: "At this time, no one of you should jump out and reason with this general?"
In the main hall of Weiyang Palace, there was silence like a cicada, facing the murderous Li Xin, no one dared to jump out and stand on the opposite side of Li Xin.
Li Xin nodded with satisfaction, with a mocking smile on his face: "Very good, it seems that all of you are handsome men who understand the current affairs, no wonder you are able to occupy a high position in the imperial court."
At this time, the officials standing in the main hall of Weiyang Palace were the most senior officials of the fifth rank and above.
There are not many people who will choose to jump out at this time and use their own body to try the long sword in General Li's hand, whether it is sharp or not.
In the Weiyang Palace, the needles can be heard falling.
Li Xin laughed and was about to speak.
A faint sigh came from the queue of civil servants.
An old man came out of the civil service. The old man had white hair and beard. Leaning on a cane, he walked tremblingly in front of Li Xin, then raised his head and glanced at Li Xin.
"The old man wants to reason with Li Houye."
Li Xin frowned slightly and said, "I have no intention of embarrassing the old lady. The old lady can leave Beijing and go back to her hometown now. Li can guarantee that no one will hurt the old lady."
"Thank you Lord Li for your love."
The old Gong Yangshu bowed his hands to Li Xin and said slowly, "Only at this time, the old man has to reason with Li Houye."
His voice was old, but his eyes were firm.
"Why did Lord Li raise troops to invade the capital?"
Li Xin squinted his eyes slightly, and his tone was calm: "Since the Yuan Zhao Dynasty, disasters have occurred in various places, people have been unable to survive, the southern border has suffered severe droughts, and the people have been hanging upside down, and the northern border has been plagued by military disasters.
"The Son of Heaven has lost his virtue, and it is already known to the whole world."
Gong Yangshu nodded and said: "Li Houye means that you are raising troops to invade the capital in order to change an emperor."
General Li nodded: "Not bad."
Lao Xiangye coughed twice, and the old voice was very firm.
"Since ancient times, the emperor has lost his virtue, and the ministers should be loyal and direct in order to save the emperor. The old man has been in charge of the Shangshutai for many years. For more than ten years, the Shangshutai has not seen Li Houye's half-enclosed remonstrance and remonstrance. A Son of Heaven, what's the point?"
The old man's voice was heavy.
"It is true that the current situation in the capital is under the control of Li Houye. When this old man says this, Li Houye may turn a deaf ear, or he may not even hear it directly."
"But it doesn't matter."
Gong Yangshu took a step forward and took a deep breath: "Regardless of whether you listen to Li Houye or not, there must be a scholar who stands up today and says a word to Li Houye."
"I can't let the people in the world feel that scholars are dead."
He looked up at Li Xin and cursed at Li Xin with the loudest voice.
"Three generations of your Li family are all thieves with evil intentions!"
"And Li Hou Ye, you raised your troops to rebel, and in the name of the Qing monarch, you are the number one rebel in a hundred years!"
After saying these words with all his strength, the old man took a few breaths, and his breathing was barely smooth. He walked up to Li Xin, closed his eyes proudly and said, "After the old man has finished speaking, Li Houye can do it."
This old man, who is nearly 80 years old, is impassioned.
The civil servants in Weiyang Palace were all blushing, and no one dared to raise their heads.
Li Xin looked at Gong Yangshu and said with emotion: "The prime minister of the Chengde Dynasty really doesn't have a lot of spirit."
He raised the green pheasant sword in his hand and put it on Gong Yangshu's shoulder.
"Regardless of whether Lao Xiangye is begging for death for the scholars in the world, or for his own reputation, it seems that the general should be committed to it."
The incomparably sharp green pheasant sword in his hand, even though it was lightly placed on Gong Yangshu's neck, a clear bloodstain slowly appeared.
General Li smiled and looked at Gongyangshu.
"Lao Xiangye, if I go down with this sword, in the future, in the history books written by you scholars, the reputation will be at least 30% stinky."
