Chapter 342: Changes in Shangjing
Li Jia's face was a little flushed and his spirit seemed a little unusually excited. He kept talking about some old past events, regardless of Wen Zhaolun's feeling. He was the winner of that year. For some reason, he had a strong feeling of wanting to show off in front of Wen Zhaolun.
Wen Zhaolun did not speak or refute. He sat there quietly, with a faint sadness on his face, and an old friend was leaving again. Yes, it was an old friend, even if he hated him for decades. He had no reason to stop him and refute the last glory heart of an old friend who was about to leave.
A loud footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall, and there was a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the middle. Wen Zhaolun stood up suddenly, and Li Jia's nagging stopped at this time, looking at the entrance of the hall, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
This is the bedroom where His Majesty the Emperor recovers from illness. No noise is strictly prohibited. The palace guards walk lightly, for fear that a little sound will invade His Majesty the Emperor. How could this happen?
The door of the hall was pushed open, not gently, but was suddenly knocked open to both sides. A man in a large eunuch costume appeared at the door of the hall with a smile on his face. Looking at the two white-haired old men in the room, he showed a smile on his face, carrying his hands on his back, and his waist, which had been bent in the past, is straight today, without the humility and pitifulness of the past.
"Cao Dan!" Li Jia's eyes narrowed, looked at his eunuch general manager, and suddenly lowered his head and coughed violently. This time, Zi did not cover his mouth with a handkerchief, and with a violent cough, pieces of bloody red sprayed on the clean gold bricks in front of the bed.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cao Dan stepped into the door and did not salute, but looked directly at His Majesty the Emperor rudely. After a moment of looking, his eyes turned to the desk, where there was a last order written by Li Jia.
"You are so brave!" Li Jia said coldly.
Cao Dan laughed: "Your Majesty, I have always been very brave, but you just disdain it. I was also a general who was on the battlefield back then!"
"A general who was cut off his egg with one knife?" Li Jia said sarcastically.
Cao Dan's face immediately turned blue, then white, and finally turned red. He took a step forward in anger and stretched out his hand, but under Li Jia's stare, he withdrew his hand a little shyly.
"It turns out that he is a ovumless person. Sometimes I am really surprised that you are the same as Cao Yi. He can manage the world. Why are you so dirty? If it weren't for your ancestors and his sake, you would have been thrown out to feed the dogs." Li Jia's eyes showed a look of disgust.
Cao Dan screamed angrily, his voice was so sharp, just like a woman screaming when she was raped, "I have no eggs and no talent, but at the most critical moment, I am saving our Cao family. Without me. Cao family is going to be finished, Your Majesty. You are so powerful, maybe you know what happened at this time, right?"
"Boss has returned to Beijing?" Li Jia said.
"Yes, the uncle has returned to the capital, and the uncle will ascend the throne. I, Cao Dan, will not be the eunuch leader again. The uncle promised me that I will open a government office and establish a position as a three-month duke." Cao Dan's voice was extremely proud, "From today, I will support Cao's family, not Cao Yi."
"Just you?" Li Jia smiled, "Why didn't the boss come in person? I'm afraid that he would be the bad reputation of killing his father, and there are endless criticisms from history books for thousands of years?"
"The history books were written by the victor. The old man didn't come because there was something more important. At this time, I guess the old man was talking to General Guan!" Cao Dan laughed, "Your Majesty doesn't have to wait for Gou Jing, he won't come. Actually, the Your Majesty said these words, aren't you just waiting for Gou Jing? But Your Majesty seemed to have forgotten, and she was still confused. If Gou Jing was still yours, how could I have brought someone here so rebelliously?"
Li Jia's face finally changed a little.
"Or you are still waiting for Xue Chengyi and Cheng Qun? Xue Chengyi is busy controlling all the gates and gates of the Forbidden City at this time. He really doesn't have time to see Your Majesty, Cheng Qun? I guess he has already seen the Empress, huddling in the Jinwu Guard camp. I don't know what to do? He wanted to leave the camp and had to step over the Empress's phoenix chariot. Do you think he dares?" Cao Dan laughed proudly.
Li Jia's face changed. His greatest reliance was that Gou Jing controlled the inner palace, Xue Chengyi, Cheng Qun controlled the sect, Jinwu Guards, Pengju and Cao Yi coordinated the overall situation. But now, Gou Jing has rebelled, and Xue Chengyi is also the boss. Even the queen, the person who has been with him for decades, finally chose his son rather than him at the last moment.
He bent down and coughed in pain, and his whole body fell softly on the couch.
Cao Dan laughed, strode towards the desk, and reached out to grab the will, "I'm afraid you'll have to trouble Your Majesty to write another one, of course, the name must be changed."
When his hands tightened, he wanted to tear the will. When his hands were about to exert force, his face suddenly changed. His mouth opened and Johe made a sound. The will in his hand floated to the ground, covering his throat with both hands, looking at Wen Zhaolun, his face was full of pride, and he changed to endless fear.
In his throat, a shiny silver needle was inserted.
Seeing that the situation had changed, the dozen eunuchs outside the door rushed in. Li Jia was still coughing and ignored it. Wen Zhaolun picked up the needle bag next to the bed, and the silver light flashed, and more than a dozen eunuchs fell into the hall in an instant.
"I am a miracle doctor. My skills in saving people are good, and killing people is actually very good!" Wen Zhaolun sneered.
Li Jia seemed to have known that these things would happen for a long time. He wiped the blood from his mouth with his sleeves and looked at Wen Zhaolun, "Brothers are fighting against the wall, so you can make a joke."
Wen Zhaolun was still a black face, "You were strong for a lifetime, but unexpectedly, you lost to your son in the end."
Li Jia smiled bitterly, "It was me who was soft-hearted and I didn't expect him to be so crazy. This kind of thing has never happened in the hundreds of years. I thought it was a good tradition and would keep it."
"You are so failed. The history books will record a lot. In your generation, your son killed his father and seized the throne, and your brothers fought against the wall. Blood flowed into the capital. I'm afraid that no one will see your ancestors."
"After I die, I will care what others say!" Li Jia sneered.
"You are still like this, I'm just very surprised. The eldest brother, the fourth mother and the comrade, why did the queen help the eldest brother deal with the fourth brother? She didn't know. If this happens, the fourth brother will die?" Wen Zhaolun couldn't figure it out. If Cheng Qun could leave the camp, a fight would inevitably occur in the capital, and things might have a chance to turn things around.
Li Jia was silent for a moment, "The fourth brother is not the queen's parent-child! You are so smart, why can't you think of it at this time?"
Wen Zhaolun's face finally changed.
"We grew up together and fell in love with a woman at the same time, but I won the game. You blame me for winning the game and didn't give her the right status, or even protect her. Let her die in the palace. This is my lifelong regret. I handed her son over to the queen, because only in this way can her son survive. Outsiders say that the eldest, the fourth brother and the fourth brother are both a mother and a comrade. In fact, this is not the case. I only said that after decades of getting along, the queen also had a mother-son relationship with the fourth brother. Unexpectedly, in the last moment, blood ties prevailed." Li Jia sighed.
"You bastard!" Wen Zhaolun looked at Li Jia and cursed.
"Take this will and go to the fourth brother!" Li Jia looked at Wen Zhaolun. "You are also from my Li family. You can choose how to make a decision. If the boss can quickly quell the rebellion and govern the country and pacify the world, then it is up to him. You take Xiao'er to retire to the countryside and let him study medicine with you. If you can't? Alas, I can't control it anymore, so let him be even more chaotic. Phoenix Nirvana, reborn in the fire, Dayue may need a big fire to burn off the dirt. Brother, whether to hand over this will to the fourth brother is up to you!"
Wen Zhaolun looked at Li Jia and said angrily: "Li Xiao has arrived in Weizhou. The boss's coup has been successful. Will he still allow him to survive?"
"If Xiao'er can't even survive, then there is nothing to say, then it's better to die early and clean up!" Li Jia finally showed the emperor's ruthlessness at this moment.
"You, you..." Wen Zhaolun was so angry that he trembled all over.
"This is why you lost to me back then!" Li Jia said: "Let's go, go, it will be too late if you don't leave. No matter how good your skills are, once the palace gate is completely controlled, it will be difficult for you to fly out even if you have wings."
Wen Zhaolun stomped his feet, picked up the will on the ground, carried his needle bag, and walked out of the hall. When he reached the door, he finally turned around and looked at Li Jia who was lying on the bed. A layer of fog finally appeared in his eyes.
Except for Li Jia and the corpses in the hall, they were empty and extremely quiet. Listening to the shouts of killing from outside, Li Jia lay quietly on the bed, "I am really a loser!" He smiled miserably, tilted his head, and closed his eyes forever.
Although Gou Jing rebelled and Xue Chengyi rebelled, there were a large number of emperor guards in the palace. The sound of fighting sounded everywhere in the palace, and the blood, fire, and screams made the palace that was once quiet. Li Jian was well prepared, and the empress, Cao Dan, and Gou Jing secretly responded, and controlled the palace in a very short time. The guards loyal to Li Jia were quickly cleared, and the fire was quickly controlled. At night, the palace fell into absolute silence.
But Shangjing City was absolutely not quiet. Teams of guards set up checkpoints in key passes in Shangjing, and the whole capital was closed.
Guan Pengju looked at Li Jian in front of him, with an angry look on his face, sitting upright, no matter what Li Jian said, he would not respond.
Li Jian was not in a hurry either. He was waiting. Guan Pengju needed him to deal with it himself. As for Cao Yi, he believed that this versatile chief minister would quickly figure out everything and quickly stand at his own strength.
Once the major event in the palace is over, no matter how reluctant Guan Pengju and Cao Yi are, they have to support themselves, because they are loyal ministers of Dayue and they will never want to see Dayue fall into a civil war.
A fast horse ran into the prison guard camp. An eunuch got off his horse and ran into the house. He bowed his head to Li Jian's ear and whispered a few words. Li Jian stood up with a laugh, "General Guan, let's go!"
"Where to go?" Guan Pengju asked.
"Of course it's the palace." Li Jian looked at him and replied happily.
