Chapter 454: The overall situation has been decided
Only kill the evil ones, and do not care about the rest.
Those who resist stubbornly will be killed without mercy.
This is wisdom. When a person who is in a desperate situation, he will inevitably want to seize any life-saving straw. They will not think about whether this straw will help, or whether there will be a matter of settlement after the autumn.
Because survival is human instinct, as long as you can live now, it is a great blessing.
Now dozens of crossbows are facing them. Even if they can kill Wu Zetian, they will still alarm everyone. They can't control the situation at all. Once a large number of imperial guards arrive, even if they kill Wu Zetian, they will not get any "credit", and there is only a serious crime of regicide.
But even if you abandon your weapons now, what's the use? If you abandon your weapons, you must be slaughtered by Wu Zetian. Now you bring your sword and come to Wu Zetian. Will Wu Zetian let you go?
unless……
Wei Zhengde had realized that something was wrong, so he looked back and looked at these confidants.
The confidants also looked at each other, countless eyes were looking at each other, looking at me, I looked at you, everyone was wary, because no one knew whether the confidants standing beside you, the robes standing beside you, or your friends, even the brothers who were sleeping with each other last night would draw their swords toward each other.
Wei Zhengde looked at these familiar faces, but he felt unfamiliar.
Of course he knew how lethal the sentence Wu Zetian would be when he said that killing the evil one was a great achievement. Because... this sentence is straight into people's hearts, but people's hearts are the most terrifying.
He saw that someone had already begun to get malicious.
Yes, they committed serious crimes and had no other choice. The only choice was to atone for their sins. As long as they could kill Wei Zhengde, they could not only clear their sins, but also get rewards from Wu Zetian. Although the Wei family might retaliate. However, the Wei family was far away in Chang'an, and the far water could not save the near fire.
Wei Zhengde had to get closer to the Central Secretary Zhao Chao. Zhao Chao was his son-in-law and was more trustworthy. As for others, he could not trust him.
But when he turned his back to Zhao Chao and faced the other gangs with vigilance, suddenly, a severe pain came from behind.
The long sword penetrated his back. Then the person behind him suddenly increased his strength, and the sword penetrated through his belly. The dripping tip of the knife was covered with blood, and blood was sprayed like rain.
Wei Zhengde let out a low roar. He turned around and saw a familiar face. It was his son-in-law Zhao Chao. Zhao Chao had no expression on his face and no longer had his usual respect for his father-in-law. He just held Wei Zhengde's shaking body while constantly strengthening the knife. The long sword stirred in Wei Zhengde's body, and the sound was clear and terrifying.
Wei Zhengde roared: "Zhao Chao, you bastard..."
Zhao Chao still had no expression. He was Wei Zhengde's son-in-law, and it was because of this. He was the hard-core Wei Party. However, in the current situation, if you want to go out alive, the only way is to kill Wei Zhengde. Others can throw away their weapons to show their submission, and there may be a glimmer of hope. But Zhao Chao cannot. He has too many marks from the Wei family. The only way is to use the knife in his hand to draw a clear line with the Wei family.
Zhao Chao's actions shocked all his followers. Finally, someone reacted. Deputy General Yan Xiong was resolute and slashed Wei Zhengde with a knife.
go.
So everyone rushed forward and became crazy one by one, with red eyes, and slashed hard at Wei Zhengde with his sword.
No one expected that these subordinates who were once the most trusted by Wei Zhengde now seemed to be irreconcilable with Wei Zhengde.
Wei Zhengde opened his eyes, but no longer breathed. The only thing that was still moving was the corpse that was cut to pieces by the knife.
Only a pool of blood was left on the ground. Zhao Chao abandoned his sword and immediately bowed to the ground, kowtowed to Wu Zetian, saying, "The last general Zhao Chao was almost deceived by Wei Zhengde, and even the Supreme Emperor was in danger. The last emperor was guilty of death. Today, he killed the thief Wei Zhengde, and redeemed his sins and appointed him as the Supreme Emperor."
Yan Xiong bowed down: "The last one will die."
A person abandoned his weapon and fell to the ground.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Wu Zetian raised his eyes and smiled coldly, and it was finally over.
Wu Sansi, two important chess pieces of the Wei family in Luoyang, have been killed by Qin Shaoyou, but Wei Zhengde has been cut into mud by others.
As for these gangs, some of them were wiped out by Di Renjie, while the other part was now tremblingly beneath Wu Zetian's feet, waiting for Wu Zetian's disposal.
Wu Zetian's smile did not dissipate.
If one soldier or another soldier is not sent, the overall situation has been decided.
These people are all the backbone of the imperial guards, but now they can never go back, because they may have to face the revenge of Wei. Their only chance to survive is to hug Wu Zetian tightly.
They naturally became Wu Zetian's gang members.
Wu Zetian said: "I don't know that all the loyal and righteousness of all the people are loyal and righteous. Now that the evil people have been eliminated, I should not blame this matter. I am very relieved by all those who work hard to do so. Even the Imperial Guards are so unworthy. It can be seen how decayed the imperial guards in the palace have reached such a decay. You may not quickly return to the guards to purify the treacherous party and strengthen the imperial guards. My safety depends on you. Wan'er...... summons Qin Shaoyou into the palace!"
Wu Zetian stood up and showed some tiredness. She yawned and said lazily: "For a little traitor, I have been troubled by all night. This Ziwei Palace seems to be unable to stay for the time being. It is very bloody. I can't stand this smell. Let's go all the way. I... set up Changle Palace, let's take a break first. When will Qin Shao enter the palace and report, and... Di Renjie..." After thinking about it, Wu Zetian said: "Let Di Renjie enter the palace and see him. I miss him a lot."
After she said that, she had already stood up slowly. Shangguan Wan'er wanted to help her, but she waved her hand gently and moved her steps. She didn't look old, but her steps were light. Everyone bowed and fell down. She shuttled through the bows and looked at the deep gate of the hall. Outside the hall, a group of eunuchs and palace maids had already set off their crossbows, standing with their heads down, ready to accompany them.
