Chapter 97: No Poison, No Husband
There are three palace gates on the central axis of the Daming Palace, namely Danfeng Gate, Xuanzheng Gate and Zichen Gate.
Xue Chuyu led the Dragon Martial Army to only capture the Danfeng Sect. If the Jinwu Guard could stop effective resistance, close the Xuanzheng Sect and Zichen Sect, and block the other palace gates leading to Taiye Pond, there would be no war of defeat.
However, facing the Dragon Martial Army that suddenly captured Danfeng Gate, there were thousands of civilians who turned against each other. Wu Yizong, who had never experienced such a big scene, was already scared and did not command the Jinwu Guard to carry out any effective resistance. He just wished that his parents would give birth to two less legs, leave behind the Jinwu Guard who was fighting each other, and lead their confidants to rush back to the Taiqing Palace behind Taiye Pool.
Wu Sansi, who was waiting for news in Taiqing Palace, had already heard the noise from the Daming Palace and felt inappropriate. When he saw Wu Yizong running back in a daze, he knew that something had happened.
Wu Sansi rushed forward a few steps and grabbed Wu Yizong's collar tightly, and asked sternly, "General Zhonglang, what happened?!"
At the critical moment of life and death, Wu Yizong was like a headless fly, and he was completely distracted and said in panic, "Old, brother, the Longwu army has attacked the Daming Palace. The rebels who went to attack the Lishan Palace also abandoned the darkness and turned to the Ming Dynasty and rushed in with the Longwu army. Also, your confidant Liu Chun also rebeled, and he led the way to open the palace gate."
After hearing the repeated changes, Wu Sansi took a breath. It was not until this time that he woke up from the dream of killing the king. It turned out that everything was trapped by the foolish king. Now the foolish king is at the city, and it is too late to wake up!
The shouts of beatings and killings in the Ming Palace became clearer and clearer, and the commanders of the Jinwu Guard kept coming in to report the results of the battle.
"General, Hanyuan Palace has fallen!"
"General, Xuanzheng Sect is lost!"
"General, the riots have attacked Zichen Gate, and the palace gate will not be able to be guarded for long."
"General, the Jinwu Guard suffered heavy losses, thousands of people were killed, and countless people surrendered!"
The battle reports are like a talisman that urges death, reminding Wu Sansi that Wu Yizong and his two men were defeated like mountains of defeat, and no one could turn the tide. If they did not find a way to escape, their doomsday was about to come.
Wu Yizong was a greedy man who was afraid of death. He thought about how to escape. Without waiting for Wu Sansi's greeting, he immediately called a few Jinwu Guard soldiers and changed into the fancy military uniforms of Jinwu Guards. He wanted to take advantage of the night to escape from Xuanwu Gate, the northern gate of the Daming Palace. As long as he could escape from Chang'an City, his life would be saved.
Wu Sansi glanced at Wu Yizong, who was fancy and whistle, and felt angry that he was so angry that he was not strong. Of course, the lower the key, the better. Those civilians who turned against each other were already hated by the Jinwu Guards. If they were wearing such clothes to escape, they felt that they were not dying fast enough?
Furthermore, they committed the serious crime of regicide. Can the king's land be the king's land in the world? They can save their lives by escaping back to Luoyang?!
Wu Sansi grabbed his arm and said coldly, "General Zhonglang, just fled back to Luoyang, we will be guilty of murdering the monarch. The foolish monarch is the son of the empress dowager. Pei Yan and his party have long disliked us, and the empress dowager cannot protect us."
At the critical moment of life and death, Wu Yizong was too lazy to talk nonsense with Wu Sansi again, so he pushed away his pull and said angrily, "General, I just said to escape back to Luoyang early and escape back to Luoyang. You still want to turn defeat into victory and kill the lord. Now, the tyrant lord has not been killed, but was killed by the tyrant lord. Stay in the Daming Palace and will be killed by the tyrant soldiers immediately! If you die back to Luoyang, you can live at least a few more days."
"Besides, I am just an uninformed accomplice. It was you who contacted Shangguan Wan'er forged the emperor's edict, and it was you who proposed to kill the lord. At worst, I will go back and apologize to the empress dowager and abandon my official position. It is better than leaving my life in Chang'an."
After hearing what he said, it seemed that Wu Sansi, in order to save his life, Emperor Wu Yizong was preparing to overturn the table. When the disaster came, he flew away and pushed all the serious crimes of regicide on his head.
This waste is really a waste that cannot be supported by mud, and we must never leave any living habits!
Wu Sansi's expression became more and more cold, and he said coldly, "Wu Yizong, what you said is wrong. It is you who came forward to force the strong men to capture the strong men, and he wanted to occupy Shangguan Wan'er. It is you who wanted to kill the lord, it is you who organized the incitement of the strong men to kill the king, and it is you who even went to Danfeng Gate to receive the tyrant head. What does this have to do with this general?"
Seeing that his mastermind began to pretend to be crazy and stupid, Wu Yizong trembled all over. He pulled Wu Sansi's brocade robe and scolded angrily, "Wu Sansi, you are slandering! OK, okay, I won't bother you now. When I return to Luoyang, I will make it clear in front of the Empress Dowager."
A grim smile appeared on Wu Sansi's face, and he lifted it up. His arm, which was like an iron gate, had already pinched Wu Yizong's neck, pressed his vulgar body to the ground, and said fiercely, "Wu Yizong, Wu Yizong! I'm afraid you won't have the chance to go to Luoyang to confront me!"
Wu Yizong never expected that Wu Sansi would use a killer move suddenly and suddenly attacked. He was so scared that he struggled desperately, "Wu Sansi, you even kill your cousin, you, you won't die a good death!"
The ten guards of Jinwu Guards saw the sudden death of each other, and they were so scared that they looked at each other and could not move their legs.
"Do you still want to survive?! If you want to survive, follow the command of this general!"
Wu Sansi pressed Wu Yizong, who was struggling desperately with both hands, and then raised his head and shouted loudly at the dozen Jinwu Guards, "Several people will press his legs and feet, and then find a rope!"
A dozen Jinwu Guards were also panicked. At a critical moment, they had no choice but to obey Wu Sansi. They could only follow the instructions. Five people stepped forward and pressed Wu Yizong's limbs, one of them covered his mouth and nose. The remaining few people hurried to find the rope.
Wu Yizong scolded and struggled, but it was useless. He began to beg for mercy again, "Brother, oh, no, General, we are relatives! I am your cousin! Everything is done by me, everything is done by me, I will confess my guilt to the Empress Dowager, I deserve to die! Let me spare my life!"
"Cousin! Only dead people will not confront me. You can go with peace of mind!"
Wu Sansi turned a deaf ear to his begging for mercy. He took the rope handed over by the Jinwu Guard and put it on Wu Yizong's neck, ordering several Jinwu Guard soldiers to strangle Wu Yizong to death on the spot.
The four Jinwu Guard soldiers pulled each other and broke their necks, and Wu Yizong's neck was pulled and died on the spot.
Wu Sansi kicked Wu Yizong's body hard, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took a few deep breaths, calmed down his violent ups and downs, and ordered the Jinwu Guard to hang Wu Yizong's body on the beam, disguising itself as a scene of committing suicide for fear of guilt.
If Wu Sansi had a choice, he would not want to kill this cousin who obeyed his orders. But the serious crime of regicide, whether it was the empress dowager or the ministers, must have a reasonable explanation! If the two fled back to Luoyang together and they were biting each other, they would be a death sentence. It would be better to blame the charges on the dead Wu Yizong, and Wu Sansi at least had a chance to escape from the crime.
After all, there are not many confidants of the Empress Dowager, and he is also a leader among the Wu brothers. Moreover, the cause of this regicide operation is to suppress the emperor's seizure of power, for the empress dowager's great cause! As long as there is a reasonable explanation, the Empress Dowager will probably turn a blind eye and spare him.
Instead of dying together, it would be better to die with your cousin Wu Yizong, who is not a husband without poison!
Wu Sansi killed Wu Yizong, looked at several Jinwu Guards present, and said coldly, "Listen, as long as you keep your mouth shut about today's affairs, you will still be Jinwu Guards, and will be the confidants of this general in the future. But one word is spread out, and you are also a serious crime of regicide and killing the nine clans. Do you understand?!"
In order to save his life, more than a dozen Jinwu Guards could only agree in unison.
