UGB Chapter 253
Chapter 253
"Why is Director Sheng here?" Director Hai looked at Director Sheng who came out of Qinzheng Hall, with a faint smile on his face.
"My lord, don't be so petty. Now this slave is just a father-in-law who manages sundries." Manager Sheng's face was ugly, with bruises and swelling on his face, and he was carrying cleaning tools in his hands. It was obvious that he had been bullied badly. "Slave...The slave just misses His Majesty, and will take care of the cleaning father-in-law. Come and have a look."
Director Hai naturally understands his small thoughts. He probably begged for the job of cleaning Qinzheng Hall tonight. He wants to hang out in front of the emperor and sell it badly. Innocent implicated.
But judging from his current expression, it is estimated that the emperor, who is depressed, didn't pay attention at all.
"I'm sorry to trouble Manager Sheng, go back quickly, I'm not going to live tonight." Manager Hai said with a smile.
Manager Sheng looked ugly and left in a hurry.
Director Hai didn't take it seriously, after all, there were more important things tonight.
Stepping into the gate of Qinzheng Hall, Director Hai pretended to be in a hurry, and as he opened the door, there was a faint noise from outside.
"Your Majesty, it's not good. Prime Minister Li and Zhao Cheng suddenly appeared in the capital with the rebel army and were about to rush into the palace. The Imperial City Army seemed unable to stop them."
"What!" The emperor was shocked, and sure enough, other people came in to report the situation.
The emperor's face was pale, and he immediately began to dispatch people to make arrangements.
After directing the personnel to go out, the emperor immediately gave Director Hai a token to send troops outside the city, and sent one of his own shadow guards to escort Director Hai out secretly. After all, he can't trust anyone 100% now. Only when the two of them are together can he feel at ease.
Director Hai immediately expressed his gratitude to the emperor for his trust, and went out with the token.But he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. During the palace change, eunuchs like them are the most dangerous. At this time, he just needs to follow Chu Lishu's instructions and go out with the token and do nothing.
As for the shadow guards who followed him and monitored him, they would naturally be handled by the experts of Xueyuan Pavilion.
By the time they went out, the rebels had already entered the palace gate, and the noise had spread throughout the palace.
Except for the emperor, almost all other harem concubines and masters were taken to the empress dowager's palace.
While listening to the battle report, the emperor coughed uncontrollably. After finding out the source of the poison, he managed to recover a bit. Now that he was emotional, he felt as if he was about to lose his hold.
There are still many palace guards in the palace, seeing the emperor like this, they can't help feeling guilty, is it true that the emperor can't do it?
As bad news came from the Imperial Army, the sound of the battle was getting closer and closer to the Palace of Qinzheng, and the emperor's face became more and more ugly, with palace guards coming in and out.
Suddenly a sharp arrow hit the gate, and the palace people around were startled and screamed.
The emperor immediately stood up with a sharp sword in his hand, but just as he got up he coughed violently and sat down on the dragon chair again.
"Quickly, close the door! Arrange for someone to help and guard, absolutely don't let them come over!"
In the dark, several shadow guards also had to go to join the battle.
The emperor never expected that such a thing would happen suddenly tonight, and everyone did not react.
He has only been on the throne of God for five years, and he is obviously more diligent and caring for the people than the emperor's brother, and he is shrewd in government.To be reduced to the point of being forced into the palace.
The more the emperor thought about it, the angrier he became, he shouted directly: "Come here, bring me Li Meier and the fourth prince."
After the emperor yelled, the guards went to do it quickly. The fourth prince was at the queen mother's side, and Concubine Mei was in the cold palace. They were all in the innermost position of the palace.
Zhao Cheng and Prime Minister Li rebelled, isn't it because of them?You have hostages in your hands, so you don't need to worry at all.If they dare to come in, let them see the corpses of Concubine Mei and the Fourth Prince.
At this time, the emperor didn't care about the identity of the fourth prince. Even if the fourth prince was still his son in his heart, it was not as important as his own life. What's more, it was the fourth prince's grandfather who rebelled, and the purpose was to push the fourth prince to be the emperor.
In other words, the fourth prince is still alive, which is the only hope for this group of rebellious officials and thieves.After all, unless the court is corrupt and incompetent and the people are in dire straits, no one can rebel with the eternal infamy. Supporting the royal blood is their only legitimate way out.
At this time, there were not many people left in the palace, and suddenly the door was opened from the outside.
Those who came in were not ordinary palace people, but tall and mighty people dressed as eunuchs and holding sharp knives.These are exactly the killers that Manager Hai left for Chu Lishu.
The emperor suddenly felt something was wrong, and immediately called for escorts, the palace people began to run around, and the shadow guards hiding in the dark and the guards in front of the guards all stepped forward to meet them.
After a while of fighting, the people who came in completely gained the upper hand, and the emperor was guarded by guards and wanted to escape from behind.
But just as he walked to the side, he was blocked by a figure.
The emperor took a closer look and recognized the person coming. Before he could speak, two guards around him were hit with hidden weapons one after another and died on the spot.
The emperor immediately drew out the sharp sword in his hand and pointed it at the person coming.Looking in amazement at the completely unfamiliar Chu Lishu who raised his arms and put away his sleeve arrows in front of him.
The emperor naturally knew martial arts, but because of his weak body, he was already unable to fight mentally, so he could only retreat with Chu Lishu's approaching footsteps.
He remembered that Chu Lishu didn't know martial arts, so he might be able to give it a go, but it wasn't until his back hit the dragon chair that he realized that the whole hall had fallen into an eerie silence.
The emperor's breathing was stagnant, and he swept across the entire hall in horror from the corner of his eye, and none of his own people survived.
"Why, it's possible?!" The emperor couldn't believe it, and the shadow guard beside him was a master among masters, aside from others.
Now I can't even think about these things anymore, just about to raise my energy to protect myself, but I was shocked to find that I couldn't raise my internal energy, it wasn't because of my body, it was because of... being poisoned.
The emperor quickly realized that there was vague smoke floating in the hall at some point, making people lose their internal strength, that's why the people around him were so vulnerable.
This has been planned for a long time...
The emperor stared at Chu Lishu in amazement and said: "What! You want to kill me to make meritorious deeds and save them from the reputation of killing kings? Fortunately, I still treat you softly for Liu Concubine's sake, I should have killed you before , you bunch of rebellious officials and thieves."
Chu Lishu sneered, turned around and said to everyone, "Go out."
The subordinates naturally left the palace and guarded the door.
The emperor was not a weak person, seeing that Chu Lishu was so careless, he immediately took advantage of his turning his head and pounced on him with his sword.
Chu Li didn't turn her head back, she hooked her mouth, took a slight step sideways, grabbed the emperor's sword-holding wrist, supported it along his arm, and kicked the emperor's knee directly with the sideways foot. In a wrestling match, the over-the-shoulder throw was used.
The emperor felt that the sky and the earth were spinning, and the picture was changing. In a few moments, with a bang, he fell under the dragon chair and smashed the heavy dragon chair.
His eyes turned black and his head was buzzing. He stretched out his hands to climb the dragon chair in embarrassment, but he didn't have the strength to support his body. He could only look at Chu Lishu in amazement and horror.
This trick was developed by him when he loved wrestling when he was young. He only taught one person, and that was Yuan Ran.
The emperor looked at Chu Lishu in front of him, and couldn't see Yuan Ran at all, but somehow it made him flustered.
"You..." The emperor opened his mouth dumbly, but quickly calmed down, "Chu Lishu, as long as you switch to me now, there is still time for everything, and my army will be here soon, even if you follow them. You will end up well, I know, you have always been a smart person, a good bird chooses a tree to live in, I can grant you a high official and rich salary, the post of prime minister, and swear to you that you will never pursue what happened today, how about it?"
But Chu Lishu took a step forward and stepped on the emperor's chest.
The emperor snorted, he had never been insulted like this before, he almost opened his eyes, but in order to save his life, he still suppressed his temper, "If you are not satisfied, you can make any request, as long as I can satisfy you."
"That's it, then what if I... want the throne?" Chu Lishu had an evil and mocking smile on his face, but his hand had already touched the armrest of the dragon chair.
The emperor could hardly believe his ears, "I am seriously discussing with you..."
"I'm also answering seriously." Chu Lishu lowered his eyes to look at the emperor, his eyes were full of coldness.
"Uncle Huang did all the ugly things in the world. Isn't it all for the throne? I took away what should belong to me, so I should take it back for granted?"
The emperor's face gradually changed, and finally he was terrified. His cloudy pupils completely reflected Chu Lishu's handsome but different from Yuan Ran's face in front of him. His heart was throbbing, but he had to force his rationality to face a possibility.
"Yuan...Yuan Ran, you are Yuan Ran, how is it possible, you are..."
"It's me, Uncle Emperor, I'm back to look for you." Chu Lishu's tone seemed to return to the past, and the moment the words fell, the emperor's memories were brought back. This is indeed Yuan Ran's tone.
The emperor was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Dreaming back at midnight, I was afraid of such a scene many times.
This sentence is simply the biggest nightmare.
He knew, he knew, as long as Yuan Ran's body was not found, it would not be over.
Yuan Ran really came back to take revenge.
So the strange feeling before finally has an explanation.
"It's you... It's you who have been messing up my imperial court and harem all this time, and you're the one who framed everything, making me a lonely family and helpless!"
I don't know when, there was no one around him. When he came back to his senses, both the court and the harem had become desolate to him. He was the emperor who was in charge of the overall situation and watched the battle with a smile, but now he didn't know Juezhong became a pawn in the game.
The emperor himself trembled in disbelief as he said it. He couldn't agree that someone had such ability, even if it was Yuan Ran, how could he force the entire dynasty to this point?
He didn't want to admit that he was sitting on everything, but in the end he lost to Yuan Ran who had nothing and lost even his identity and appearance.
But in such a short period of less than two years, the clan has been reduced, the court has been chaotic, the six divisions have been replaced, and the royal family is about to be wiped out... Now he is paralyzed here, at the mercy of others.
The emperor was unwilling, and looked at Chu Li's book in displeasure. He suffered a huge mental blow, but he quickly reacted, "Huo Luo... Yuechen..."
"There is also Director Hai and the commander of the imperial army, all of whom belong to me. Half of the six departments of the imperial court are also in my hands, and the rest are also of the Qing Dynasty. Think about it, uncle Huang, do you still have a chance to stand up?"
Chu Lishu said words that made the emperor gradually despair, while watching this uncle who had always been quite proud gradually lose his dignity and hope, was crushed by the blow of reality, and became crazy... finally laughed, That kind of hearty revenge seemed to be more successful than killing him with his own hands.
The proudest people are often the most intolerant of failure.
He can do everything possible to unite everyone to design an overall situation to kill Yuan Ran. Naturally, he can't accept that Yuan Ran doesn't need to design the overall situation. As long as the erosion is slow, he can turn the tables against the wind alone.Doesn't this mean that he will never be able to compare with Yuan Ran?
The emperor broke down and laughed, "It's so...so...hahaha...ah!"
A miserable scream resounded throughout the hall.
A dagger pierced into the emperor's body. It was not fatal but extremely painful. Chu Lishu pulled out the dagger and let out another scream.
"This is for the sake of my father." Chu Lishu said coldly: "Do you remember how you pissed him off at the beginning? He obviously treated you so well and trusted you so much! You failed him."
The emperor covered the wound, his veins were throbbing from the pain, but he still glared at Chu Lishu angrily.
"That's all his fault. This throne should belong to me! He obviously has no ability at all, and he doesn't want to be emperor at all, just because... just because the emperor asked Qin Tianjian to make a fortune telling him that his My son has the talent to conquer the world. In order to prevent the court from being unstable and welcome you, my father passed on the throne that should belong to me to him. However, my father did not expect that after you were born, the new supervisor would figure out something else. of……"
"Just because of three prophecies?"
"So you know, then you know that you shouldn't live. He insisted on keeping you. Obviously you will kill everyone around you. The closer you are, the worse the death will be. The emperor's brother and sister-in-law don't believe it. To love you and raise you, but in the end they died, it was actually your fault."
Although he already knew the general truth, Chu Lishu still couldn't understand it. "Since you were so powerful back then, why didn't you try to find a way to seek the throne after I was born, obviously it was the best time to do it."
"Because I was cheated! I was cheated by...the queen mother and Xiao Cheng." As soon as he said this, the emperor's eyes gradually changed, remorse, pain, and struggle.He looked up at Chu Lishu, "It's true that I loved you back then, it's true that I was willing to fight against the prophecy because of you, it's also true that I sent a killer to kill you for the first time and instinctively wanted to protect you... because before that, I always thought You are my own son!"
Chu Lishu's face twisted instantly, almost instinctively wanting to vomit, "Nonsense!"
"Yes, it's nonsense. I was deceived. You belong to Brother Huang and Xiaocheng, not my son at all. I sacrificed for this scam for more than ten years and gave up the throne that should belong to me, just to cultivate You, let you become an emperor through the ages. But in the end it was all a scam! Now that I know the truth, why should I continue to swallow my anger and make wedding dresses for others? The throne should be returned to me. And the more you grow, the more you grow up. It is more and more in line with the prophecy, if you are here, we all have to die, so I have to kill you, I have to kill you!"
Looking at Chu Lishu, the emperor seemed to see Yuan Ran back then.The more I think about it, the more I am not reconciled.
Back then when the emperor's brother came to the throne, he had no intention of governing the country, and the affairs of the court were handed over to him without hesitation. He seemed to have become the regent, with all the power in the court and the public, only one step away from the throne, and the emperor's brother didn't even have a harem. Taking advantage of it, the other clans could only put women beside him. Xiao Cheng's family was his woman, Wang's family, Pei's family, Prime Minister Li... The more power around him, the stronger his ambition to rebel.
But because of the birth of Yuan Ran, he was a little ashamed of the emperor brother who was sincere to him, so he hesitated about seizing the throne. Naturally, he was young and vigorous, and he would not easily believe in any prophecy, but his son's ability was overwhelmed by two generations. Supervision is certainly a pleasure.
Watching Yuan Ran grow up, he found a better ambition than being emperor.
What's so great about being an emperor, if you can cultivate an emperor through the ages and dominate the world, if such an emperor still obeys your own words and is under your own control, then he is almost an existence above the imperial power, isn't it worth it? Are people excited?
I can also show my father who is blind under the nine springs, see that the best emperor Qin Tianjian said is actually his son, and he is the most suitable heir!
For this more powerful ambition, he began to cultivate Yuan Ran wholeheartedly.
In the end, he discovered that the "eldest son" he loved and was most proud of was not his son at all.
So far, he will never be merciful to his son, especially the rebellious son, and after Yuan Ran surpassed his control time and time again, and after it was obviously out of control, he became murderous, and he wanted to take back what belonged to him. Everything is for Da Zhou's future, isn't it?
