Li Xin, who was dressed in black armor, walked on the steps of Weiyang Palace, and his shadow was pulled by the early sun in the morning.

He was followed by fifty neatly organized guards.

At this time, the defense force of the inner city of the imperial city was only the last hundred or so internal guards in the Weiyang Palace, and almost all the others died in the hands of the Hanzhou army.

Li Xin took fifty guards and walked slowly into the Weiyang Palace.

Over the years, Li Xin has walked into the Son of Heaven's dormitory many times, and the feeling is different every time.

When the Chengde Dynasty, the Son of Heaven's dormitory was not in the Weiyang Palace, he entered the Changle Palace twice, each time he was walking on thin ice, trembling, when he arrived in the Taikang Dynasty, the Son of Heaven's dormitory moved from the Changle Palace to the Weiyang Palace, since then, Li Xin has often been 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 Taikang Emperor, he still had to abide by the etiquette of the monarch and the courtiers, and the rules and regulations.

Even in the Yuan Zhao Dynasty, Li Xin, as the emperor, did not exceed the rules between monarchs and ministers.

But this time...... It's different.

Li Xin strode into Weiyang Palace, holding his head high.

This palace, he was too familiar, even more familiar than the current Son of Heaven, and he walked straight into the main hall of Weiyang Palace.

At this time, it is the late autumn of the fifth year of Yuan Zhao, and the exact time is September 20, the first moment of the hour, and the sun is shining.

Li Xin, dressed in black armor, walked into this hall with his hands behind his back.

At this time, most of the officials of the imperial court were basically trapped in this hall, including the great nine secretaries of the imperial court, as well as several Zaifu of Shangshutai, as well as large and small officials among the six departments.

Of course, there is also the Son of Heaven who sits on the throne.

The Son of Heaven sat quietly on the throne on a high place, without a trace of expression on his face.

The last remaining hundred or so people of the internal guard, to be precise, should be the people of the guard battalion among the internal guards, each drew their knives and stopped in front of Li Xin.

General Li glanced at these guards battalion soldiers lightly, and said in a calm tone: "The three guards have almost been killed and wounded, from Yong'an Gate to Weiyang Palace, all checkpoints have been controlled by our Southwest Army, and now there are almost 20,000 Southwest Army in the Imperial City, and there are 100 more people killed and 100 fewer people killed at this time, it makes no difference to me." ”

"Now you throw down your sword and unload your armor on the spot, and I can let you out."

More than a hundred soldiers of the Guards Battalion held their swords in their hands, and none of them retreated.

The people who can enter the guard camp, their personal kung fu skills are secondary, and the most important thing is loyalty to the Son of Heaven, each of these more than a hundred people is the elite of the elite, as long as the emperor says a word and makes them commit suicide, they will not frown, let alone surrender at this time.

Li Xin's eyes were cold, and he was about to wave his hand to order, and the Son of Heaven, who had been sitting on the emperor's throne and had been closing his eyes, finally slowly opened his glasses.

His voice was hoarse: "It's all ...... Stand down. ”

More than 100 soldiers of the Guards Battalion, after hearing the order of the Son of Heaven, their last breath of anger was also discharged, they threw down the swords in their hands a little weakly, and then took off the armor on their bodies, like walking corpses, and left Weiyang Palace.

The Son of Heaven stood up from the throne and glanced up at Li Xin, trying to keep his voice calm.

"I didn't think this day would come so soon......"

Because he has had some awe of 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 that his teacher would carry a knife into the imperial city and throw himself off the throne.

Dreamed more than once.

This is also the reason why this son of heaven has made frequent mistakes in his decisions in the past year or two, he was born with a little fear of Li Xin, and later mistakenly attributed this fear to the firearms, and then got into the firearms with all his heart, and rarely asked about political affairs.

Li Xin took two steps forward, first glanced at the trembling civil and military ministers in the hall, and then raised his eyes to look at the Son of Heaven, with a faint smile on his face: "I originally thought that this day would not come so soon. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused, and then continued: "If Your Majesty is smart enough, maybe there will never be this day. ”

Yuan Zhao Tianzi laughed at himself: "What does the teacher mean that in the first year of Yuan Zhao, I let you abolish the four auxiliary ministers?" ”

"At that time, I was still young, and the four auxiliary ministers left the court, and the capital was the teacher, and you alone had the final say, so today's events were only five years in advance."

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, whether it was Your Majesty or the princes of the court, most of them would not believe it."

"But it doesn't matter."

The smile on Li Xin's face retracted, and his tone became much colder: "Now it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. ”

After saying this, General Li took out his azure sword from his waist, and his tone was calm: "At this time, no one of you should jump out to reason with the general, right?" ”

In the main hall of Weiyang Palace, there was silence, and in the face of 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 you are all handsome men who know the current affairs, no wonder you can be in a high position in the imperial court." ”

At this time, the officials standing in the main hall of Weiyang Palace were also officials above the fifth grade, and most of them were court officials of the third rank or so, and few of them were really solid eyes that could climb to this height in the court.

There are few people who will choose to jump out at this time and use their bodies to try the long sword in General Li's hand, whether it is sharp or not.

In Weiyang Palace, falling needles can be heard.

Li Xin smiled and was about to speak.

In the queue of civil officials, there was a faint sigh.

An old man who was dying walked out of the civil service, this old man had gray hair, he walked to Li Xin tremblingly with a cane, and then looked up at Li Xin.

"The old man wants to reason with Hou Ye Li."

Li Xin frowned slightly, and said: "I have no intention of embarrassing the old minister, the old minister can go out of Beijing and return to his hometown now, and Li can guarantee that no one will hurt the old minister." ”

"Thank you Marquis Li for your kindness."

The old ram Shu arched his hand at Li Xin and slowly spoke: "It's just that at this time, the old man has to reason with Hou Ye Li." ”

His voice was old, but his gaze was steadfast.

"Marquis Li's army invaded the capital, what happened?"

Li Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone was calm: "Since the Yuan Zhao Dynasty, disasters have occurred everywhere, the people are not happy, there is a great drought in southern Xinjiang, the people are hanging upside down, and the military disasters in northern Xinjiang are full of disasters, and the imperial court has sat idly by. ”

"The Son of Heaven is not virtuous, and the world knows it."

Ram Shu nodded and said, "What Marquis Li means is that you raised troops to invade the capital in order to change an emperor. ”

General Li nodded: "Not bad." ”

The old man coughed twice, and the old man's voice was extremely firm.

"Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has lost his morality, and the courtiers should be loyal and straightforward, and the old man has been in charge of Shangshutai for many years.

The old man's voice was heavy.

"It is true that the situation in the capital is now under the control of Marquis Li, and when the old man says this, Marquis Li may turn a deaf ear, or he may not hear it directly."

"But it doesn't matter."

Ram Shu took a step forward and took a deep breath: "Whether you listen to Hou Ye Li or not, there must be a scholar who stands up today and says a word to Hou Ye Li." ”

"You can't let the world feel that the people who read are dead."

He raised his head and looked directly at Li Xin, and scolded Li Xin angrily in the loudest voice.

"The three generations of your Li family are all thieves with evil intentions!"

"And you, Marquis Li, raised troops to rebel, and privately abolish the establishment in the name of the Qing monarch, you are actually the first thief in the Great Jin Dynasty in the past century!"

After saying these words with all his might, the old man gasped several times, and his breathing was barely smooth, he walked up to Li Xin, closed his eyes proudly and said, "The old man has finished speaking, Hou Ye Li will do it." ”

This old man, who is nearly eighty years old, is impassioned.

All the civil officials in Weiyang Palace blushed, and none of them dared to raise their heads.

Li Xin looked at Ram Shu and said with emotion: "The prime minister of the Chengde Dynasty really has a unique spirit. ”

He raised the green pheasant sword in his hand and placed it on Ram Shu's shoulder.

"Whether the old man is begging for death for the world's scholars, or for his own reputation, it seems that the general should inherit it."

The incomparably sharp green pheasant sword in his hand, although it was only lightly placed on Ram Shu's neck, a clear mark of blood had slowly emerged.

General Li looked at Ram Shu with a smile.

"Old man, if I go down with this sword, in the future, my reputation will be at least more than thirty percent in the history books written by you readers."
