Overnight, the situation changed drastically.

There has always been no airtight wall in the imperial court. The news that Li Shouting had surrendered to Xiao Li with an army of 300,000 people was like the wind, penetrating into the ears of the courtiers that day. The current situation is that everything in Huaimo,

Xiao Yao only had 550,000 troops, but Xiao Li had 900,000.

The overall situation is almost settled.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Changsun Changfeng was naturally happy, but the people who originally supported Xiao Yao were pitiful and fell from the sky to the ground in one day.[

However, no one expected that at night, an imperial decree would come down.

The edict of passing the throne.

Emperor Wen personally admitted that Huaimo was of royal blood, and was the son of the concubine who was pregnant with him at that time. He was the eldest grandson of the emperor who narrowly escaped death in the fire. Later, the throne was passed to Huaimo Teng.

As soon as the imperial edict came out, it once again set off big waves in the originally turbulent whirlpool of the DPRK.

All officials, except for a few confidants who swore to follow him to the death, were tortured to the point of exhaustion.

First it was Xiao Yao, then Xiao Li, and now Huai Mo... It was so turbulent, and under the precarious wind and rain, it was very hard even to be a grassroots, and it was enough to be blown to death by the ever-changing strong wind.

There are also dozens of people who have always remained neutral and have a high status.

While other officials were panicking, these dozens of senior ministers each received a secret edict at the same time that the imperial edict came out.

Soldiers are valuable and quick, Xiao Li naturally understands this. He has anticipated all possible moves of Huai Mo in advance and has calculated the response strategy in his mind. The most likely way is to ask Nanzhao for reinforcements through Princess Nanzhao, but Xiao Li

Li will not give him a chance to survive.

Take advantage of the situation and defeat Huai Mo and Xiao Yao in one fell swoop. This is what Xiao Li wants to do immediately. It was originally scheduled to be the morning of the next day.

I just didn't expect that Huai Mo would come out to seek death so quickly that he couldn't even wait for the morning court meeting the next day.

Using one to compete with the 900,000 troops in his hand, Xiao Li could not find any other explanation except that he was crazy.

After the imperial edict was issued, Xiao Li received the news and immediately pinched the letter in his hand, with a sinister smile in his eyes.

Okay, Huai Mo, I will help you.

In order to prevent Xiao Yao from really joining forces with Huai Mo, 5 Baidu | Search "Fifth Literature" to see the latest | Chapter Xiao Li's eldest son, Sun Changfeng, led an army of 400,000 to wait outside the city. Li Shouting led troops to meet him in the city, and he personally led an army of 300,000.

Enter the palace.

That's right, Xiao Li wanted to force him into the palace.

Since Emperor Wen issued an imperial edict and had already rectified Huai Mo's name in advance, Xiao Li no longer has to take the justifiable path and directly solve it by force.

Xiao Li marched into the imperial city with an army of 300,000, of which 200,000 were personally gifted by Emperor Wen of that day. Originally, this was not appropriate. After all, these people had been following Emperor Wen for many years, and they still haven't warmed up yet, but

Something happened suddenly, and these 200,000 were all elite soldiers.

Far better than Li Shouting or Changsun Changfeng. Furthermore... Xiao Li can now confirm that Emperor Wen was indeed under house arrest by Huaimo. Otherwise, with Emperor Wen's mentality, he would never pass the throne to Huaimo. Xiao Li made the decision after weighing it.

This decision was made under the banner of "rescuing the driver."

Lead the troops straight to Emperor Wen's Yangxin Palace.[

The Yangxin Hall was brightly lit, and Huai Mo arrived before him and was outside the palace.

Their youngest prime minister in ancient times was dressed in white clothes and was banished to immortality. He stood on a high platform with his hands behind his back in a charming posture. The night wind blew by, and his white robe was slightly lifted, making him look like an immortal or a god. Three hundred thousand troops killed him.

When they came to kill him, he looked down calmly without moving his eyebrows. It was as if these people were not here to kill him, but were here to bow their heads to him.

/

The so-called Mount Tai collapses in front but remains unchanged. This is probably the posture.

The torches in the soldiers' hands illuminated the imperial city like daylight, allowing Xiao Li and Huai Mo to clearly see each other. This was the first time a pair of old enemies had such an open and honest contest.

"Xiao Li, you are so brave. You dare to lead troops into the palace. Do you want to rebel?" Huai Mo looked down at Xiao Li under the steps. His voice was not loud, but it was dignified enough.

"Who is the rebel? Huaimo, you dare to imprison my father and force him to write a will, intending to usurp the throne. Everyone will kill you. Today, I will let you be removed with my own hands." Xiao Li gave an order.

, the general behind him immediately responded, shouting loudly into the air: "Help, help!"

The mighty soldiers behind Xiao Li responded immediately. It was a hot-blooded man with a deep and righteous voice. The cry of "help" resounded through the night sky, as if it was going to reach the ninth heaven.

The momentum is huge.

Huai Mo was neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, as usual, holding up the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand with a graceful attitude.

"The imperial edict to pass the throne is here, who dares to resist it?"

"I don't believe it. It's you who imprisoned my father and usurped the throne. If you are true to your name, let my father come out."

"The Emperor is seriously ill. If there is any damage caused by you, Xiao Li, you will be regicide and parricide. An unfaithful, unjust and unfilial person also wants to touch this sacred position?"

"That's nonsense!" Xiao Li pointed at Huaimo from a distance and scolded, "Confusing right and wrong!"

"I cannot allow you to imprison or torture my father anymore! Someone, follow me in and rescue the emperor!"

Xiao Li's voice fell, and the army behind him responded in unison.

When an army of 900,000 people is fighting against a few people, justice or not is no longer important, the situation is one-sided.

…

There were also some imperial troops guarding outside the Yangxin Hall, whether they were Huaimo's people or Wendi's people. They were resisting with great strength, so naturally they couldn't get enough of them.

Huai Mo stood calmly on the spot, with a faint smile on his lips, and let Xiao Li lead the people to walk past him.

Xiao Li gave Huai Mo a sarcastic and sinister look. The road was smooth and the momentum was great, so he was about to forcefully break into the Yangxin Palace.

The closed door also opened in response, as if to welcome him.

But inside the gate, it was Bo Qin who stood. Behind Bo Qin, there were dozens of important officials standing with him, three of whom were even veterans of the three dynasties.[

"King Xian, the emperor's dragon body violates the peace, but you want to lead troops to break in in the middle of the night and disturb the holy monks. What crime should you do?"

Bo Qin asked coldly.

Xiao Li narrowed his eyes and looked at Bo Qin, "It turns out that Huai Mo bribed you too. No wonder this matter can be kept secret."

"Xian Wang, respect yourself!"

The one who echoed was not Bo Qin, but the eldest man beside Bo Qin, the elder of the three dynasties and the current imperial advisor, Xia Zhengran.

Xia Zhengran was the national preceptor, and he was the head of the auxiliary ministers at that time. Generally speaking, such a person would end up with the birds gone, the good bow hidden, the cunning rabbit dead, and the lackeys cooked. However, since Emperor Wen came to power, Xia Zhengran cleverly

He handed over all his power and kept nothing, and he stayed content with the status quo for the rest of his life, not striving for fame and fortune, and not colluding with party members, so Emperor Wen still respected him.

A person with high status but no real power has always been a highly respected person in a place like the imperial court. If he does not invite death, he can rely on his old age to do his job at critical times, which makes people respect him. Xia Zhengran said sternly: "You are

Don't you want to accuse us old men of being bribed by the Prime Minister? You led troops into the palace in the middle of the night and forced your way into the emperor's chamber. What do you want to do? Do you want to commit regicide and father-in-law rebellion? Xiao Li, how come you are so unscrupulous in our country?

Descendants!"

Xia Zhengran scolded Xiao Li mercilessly. Xiao Li's face suddenly turned blue and white, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and his fists at his side were clenched.

What's even more irritating is that as soon as Xia Zhengran showed his righteous attitude, other elders were not far behind and criticized him one after another.

"Shut up!" Xiao Li couldn't bear it and scolded.

"You are the one who should shut up."

Huai Mo turned around leisurely and stepped forward.

Xiao Li sneered, turned his head, and looked directly at Huai Mo, "Huai Mo, do you think you can find a few old immortals to protect you and secure your throne? Stop dreaming, you don't have military power in your hands, don't even think about it.

Just think, my 900,000-strong army can trample you to death."

When Huai Mo heard this, he smiled quietly without any hesitation.

The old ministers all shook their heads in disapproval and accused Xiao Li of being treasonous.

"Why are you laughing?" Xiao Li asked.

"King Xian made a mistake in his calculation." Huai Mo said clearly.

Xiao Li's eyes narrowed and he did not speak yet. He could only hear the majestic momentum of approaching soldiers and horses.

The sound of neat footsteps suddenly came, approaching with overwhelming momentum, and the flames shot into the sky... The sound of the movement was so loud that everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Xiao Li looked around and saw that they were surrounded by people again.

They were surrounded.

How is that possible? Xiao Li was shocked. He looked at the powerful troops outside, and then suddenly looked at Huai Mo.

Huaimo, where did he get his troops from?

Huai Mo understood his question and just smiled lightly, "Don't worry."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a man suddenly flying into the sky. His posture was valiant, and his cold armor reflected the firelight, leaving sharp traces in the night sky. He landed and stood next to Huai Mo.

It was Li Shouting who was rumored to be missing.

Li Shouting bowed to Huai Mo and said, "The last general to escort you was late."

Xiao Li's eyes protruded, shocked and angry. In anger, he pointed at Li Shouting with trembling fingers, "You, you...what do you mean!"

Li Shouting said calmly: "The general will swear to be loyal to the emperor to the death. Even if his head falls to the ground, he will never collude with the person who killed the emperor and usurped the throne."
