Seventy-nine, wolf ambition
In the main hall of Huae Xianghui Tower, more than a hundred eunuchs with perverted faces stood in three rows, bowing their heads and bowing without saying a word. Facing Feng Yan's angry Queen Zhou's demonstrations, he ignored the Queen of the Empress's imperial decree. He was so angry that Queen Zhou beat someone with Yu Ruyi. Several eunuchs were beaten to death, but they didn't move and refused to retreat, so that they did not let Queen Zhou leave Huae Xianghui Tower. Although Queen Zhou had dozens of palace maids and female officials around him, what could these female fans do when they encountered such a thing?
Li Kun pressed his sword into Hua'e Xianghui Tower, followed by more than 20 confidant warriors. Outside the hall there were 300 Jinwu Guards and 100 guards of King Jing's Mansion who were loyal to him. Of course, it was no problem to guard the Hua'e Xianghui Tower, which covers an area of only ten acres, not to mention that Li Kun also controlled the emperor Li Yu and Xiao Zhou Hou.
Two eunuchs carried the emperor Li Yu into the hall, and Li Kun personally whispered: "The emperor is here."
More than a hundred eunuchs who blocked Xiao Zhou Hou fell to their knees, but they still blocked Xiao Zhou Hou's path.
The little Zhou Hou scolded: "Get out of here!"
The eunuchs knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Welcome to your Majesty and welcome to Your Highness King Jing."
Dozens of palace lanterns in the hall were still bright, illuminating the military man in King Jing Li Kun, standing under the danmu, pressing his sword. His face was both nervous and excited, and his handsome face had a kind of evil spirit.
Xiao Zhouhou said angrily: "Li Kun, what do you want to do?"
Li Kun bowed slightly to the Queen of Zhou through a group of eunuchs and said to the group of eunuchs: "The Queen ordered you to get out of here. Have you not had ears?"
The more than a hundred eunuchs kneeling on the ground then stood up and retreated to both sides, making Xiao Zhou Hou so angry that his hands and feet were cold.
Queen Xiao Zhou calmed down and walked over to welcome Emperor Li Yu. The overshoulder chariot in the palace could sit or lie down. Li Yu naturally lay down, his body was stiff, his robes were messy, and he didn't even have a thin blanket to cover. His white hair was also messy. It was obviously someone was hurriedly moved from the couch to the chariot.
Poor, the literary and elegant emperor Li Yu could not move at this time, his head was tilted on the chariot, his eyes were opened, and his turbid tears were wet with his chariot mattress.
When Xiao Zhouhou saw Li Yu like this, tears suddenly flowed down, wet his beautiful and smooth cheeks. He gently held Li Yu's right hand that could still move, and called out softly: "Your Majesty." He raised his eyes and said to Li Kun: "Kun'er, look at your uncle's eyes--"
Li Kun also felt guilty, glanced at his uncle Li Yu, quickly looked away, laughed dryly, and said, "Uncle, the prince was bewitched by Zhou Xuan, the prince of Pingnan County, and wanted to harm the life of his nephew. Please listen to the cry of killing outside. The Zhou Xuan party members who were in trouble, asked his uncle to surrender his order and dismiss Zhou Xuan's party. Otherwise, a great chaos will arise and the country will not be in a state."
Li Kun was quite scheming. If he directly pointed the finger at Prince Li Jian and asked Li Jian to give way to him, Xiao Zhou Hou and Li Jian were mother-son relatives, so naturally he would not give in to him. Therefore, Li Kun first made a compromise, just said that it was Zhou Xuan's mastermind. If Li Yu could order Zhou Xuan to be dismissed and imprisoned, even if he could not defeat Prince Li Jian at once, the whole party in the East Palace would be greatly damaged. Li Kun could take the opportunity to control the government and firmly control Li Yu and Xiao Zhou Hou with eunuchs inside, and Huangfu Jixun's help outside, and gradually eliminate the generals of the Wei Xu Army who were loyal to the prince. This is more safe than killing Prince Li Jian suddenly and will not cause great unrest in the Tang Dynasty. I believe that Xiao Zhou Hou would sacrifice his nephew Zhou Xuan, who was indisputable to survive the crisis.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhouhou said coldly: "Li Kun, you entered the palace in the middle of the night and took Your Majesty to my palace to hostage. Is this just to me?"
When Li Kun heard this, he was a little angry and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Empress, Zhou Xuan and his party killed and set fire in the city. The area of Qingxifang is already a sea of fire. My nephew's father-in-law Wei Xuan is afraid that he has been killed by Zhou Xuan. Your Majesty, will the Empress bear to see me die in an unlawful way?"
Xiao Zhouhou looked at Li Kun with a clear gaze. Li Kun could not bear her gaze, so he turned his head and snorted coldly.
The young Zhou Hou said: "Since Zhou Xuan is the leader of the chaos, then I will go to see him and blame him for committing the crime of rebellion, and then order the officials to sue him."
Li Kun quickly said: "Zhou Xuan is already crazy, and his gangsters are even more unreasonable. They will chop everyone up. They are all Fenghua soldiers brought by Zhou Xuan from Jiangzhou. Zhou Xuan privately led Fang Zhenfu troops into the capital. His intention to rebel was obvious. My nephew begs to ask His uncle to issue an order to kill Zhou Xuan. My nephew will definitely assist the prince in pacifying the situation in the capital."
Queen Zhou frowned and said nothing, and was nervously thinking about countermeasures.
At this time, the originally hustle and bustle outside the Huae Xianghui Tower gradually became quiet, and the voice of Prince Li Jian came in clearly: "My son is kind to his father and mother. My son is unfilial and failed to protect his father and mother, and even his father is held hostage by Li Kun-" paused for a moment and continued to shout: "I, Li Jian, as the prince of the governor, I will swear here. If King Jing Li Kun immediately withdraws from Huae Xianghui Tower, I promise to pardon all his crimes and not pursue them. Emperor Tianhoutu, let us take this oath together."
There were thousands of people inside and outside the Huayan Xianghui Building. At this time, there were only a tight and slow rain sounds, and the sounds were heard.
Li Kun said furiously: "Li Jian is turning black and white against the white, protecting Zhou Xuan. This is all Zhou Xuan's crime, what does it have to do with me!"
Queen Xiao Zhou looked at Li Kun and whispered: "Kun'er, you should know that Li Jian's character is as kind as charitable as your uncle. Now he vows not to pursue your guilt in public. My uncle can guarantee that he will never hurt you in the future. This is your opportunity. Don't miss it, otherwise it will be too late to regret it."
Li Kun didn't speak, his heart was excited, his face gradually distorted, he stared at Xiao Zhouhou and asked, "Do you want me to go out and become a prisoner now? Even if Li Jian pretends to be kind and righteous, he will not execute me immediately, but I can only be placed under house arrest like Chen Si'an, unable to leave the house, trembling and resting on others. Is this the life I, Li Kun, want to live? Uncle, you said, do you want me to live such a life that is worse than death?"
Seeing Li Kun like this, Xiao Zhou Hou knew that he could not persuade him and said, "What do you want? I want His Majesty to make you the crown prince?"
Li Kun wanted to deny humbly, but then he thought, it was still humble at this time, and immediately shouted: "According to the alliance of the late emperor to pass on the throne, I should have taken my uncle's position as the monarch of the Tang Kingdom. His uncle did not obey the alliance, which led to today's rebellion. Uncle and uncle are here, and my nephew also made a vow. As long as my uncle passes him in me, I promise not to hurt Brother Jian."
Xiao Zhouhou said, "So that's it." The two powerful palace maids behind his life raised their chariot and wanted to send Emperor Li Yu to her bedroom in Hua'e Xianghui Tower first, and the eunuchs stopped him immediately.
Xiao Zhou Hou looked at Li Kun and said, "I want your uncle to go to the bedroom to rest?"
Li Kun waved his hand, and the eunuchs made way.
Li Kun took a group of confidant warriors to follow Xiao Zhou Queen straight into the bedroom, watching Xiao Zhou Queen instruct the palace maids to take care of Li Yu and feed Li Yu water with his own hands.
Li Kun waited patiently for a while, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Uncle, my uncle is already in a state of wind and can't take matters. All this must be taken over. If my uncle hesitates and the soldiers are in trouble, I'm afraid that Brother Jian will not be able to save his life. This is definitely not what my nephew wants."
Queen Xiao Zhou sat beside the couch, held Li Yu's hand and asked, "Are you so sure?"
Li Kun didn't dare to say anything at this time: "The 40,000 Wei Xu Army of General Huangfu Jixun is waiting outside the palace."
Xiao Zhouhou thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go see Li Jian, and I'll tell him some things."
How could Li Kun let Xiao Zhou come out of Hua'e Xianghui Tower, and immediately said: "No, there are chaos outside the door. My nephew is concerned about the safety of my uncle and I cannot let my uncle go out. My uncle only needs to write an order on behalf of Your Majesty, and my nephew can be ordered to quell the rebellion."
How could the little Zhou Hou give such an order? But she doesn't know what the situation outside the palace is. If it is true, Huangfu Jixun's Eight Guards controlled the Emperor and the Palace City as Li Kun said, then Li Jian and Zhou Xuan would be very dangerous. However, if it is true, Li Kun would not be suppressed in Hua'e Xianghui Building - the situation is unclear, so you might as well wait and see what changes are.
Xiao Zhouhou said, "Kun'er, you go out first, I'll talk to your uncle."
Li Kun thought to himself, "What are you talking about? Uncle can still talk!" He glanced at the couch, facing his uncle Li Yu's eyes. His painful and sad eyes made him feel palpitations. He lowered his head to avoid him, and said, "Then my nephew will say goodbye for a while, and ask my uncle and uncle to make a decision early." He led his subordinates to withdraw from the bedroom.
Li Kun came to the front hall and looked out from a high place. He saw his guards and the Jinwu Guard who was loyal to him confronted the troops of the Eastern Palace and Zhou Xuan. Although the two sides did not fight, they were tense and would fight hard at any time.
After looking at it for a while, Li Kun was secretly shocked. The more and more people there were gathering in the East Palace, including the Jinwu Guard holding an axe, and the Yulin Guard with a painted jersey and a bright armor. It seems that although Li Kun has bought many people, there are still more loyal people to the crown prince. Now there are only hopes for Huangfu Jixun. As long as Huangfu Jixun leads his troops into the palace, Li Jian and Zhou Xuan will have a dead end. Huangfu Jixun's confidants have at least controlled the four guards, with a total of 20,000 people, enough to control the palace city.
Li Jian and Zhou Xuan outside Hua'e Xianghui Tower were also anxious at this time. They heard the sound of fighting from the imperial city. It must be that Huangfu Jixun was attacking the gate of the imperial city. Lin Ji's Yulin Left Guard had to withstand it. As long as you persist for an hour, Qi Hong's 10,000 naval troops on the north bank of Bailuzhou outside the city would cross the river and enter the city, and they would be able to compete with Huangfu Jixun's Wei Xu army, and there were Zhongwu Guards in Linheishan.
At this time, there were no less than 2,000 imperial guards gathered around the prince. There were only more than 500 Li Kun's party members guarding Hua'e Xianghui Tower, which was very different in strength. However, the emperor and the queen were both inside the building, and Li Jian did not dare to order an attack. He only sent the Eastern Palace Imperial Guard to the imperial city to explore the situation and quickly rewarded him.
The knife wound on Sanchi's left arm has been bandaged and he is guarding Zhou Xuan's side with Murong Liusu.
