Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 523 Death of the Emperor
"Damn it, you're a lackey of the Ming people!" Huairiang's figure was hidden among the warriors, looking at the proud Fujiwara with hatred.

In fact, it was not that he had not expected the current situation, but he did not expect that Fujiwara would appear until he had completely captured the imperial palace.

The attack on the Imperial Palace was originally a race against time to see who could capture the Emperor first.I originally thought that if I had enough time, I could persuade Emperor Changqing to abdicate, but now that the situation is critical, I can no longer persuade him.

Holding the emperor in your hands is equivalent to having the initiative.

Huai Liang went directly into the palace, found Emperor Changqing, and put the Japanese sword to his neck.

Then he held Emperor Changqing hostage and came outside the palace.

"Fujiwara! Get out of the way!"

"If you want to become an enemy of the emperor, then continue the attack! But in that case, you will become an enemy of the emperor who forces the emperor to death!"

"Whoever dares to kill the emperor, just come forward!"

Saying that, he took a step forward.

"Prince Huairiang, you are treasonous!" Fujiwara scolded angrily. "How dare you hold the Emperor hostage! Aren't you afraid of making the world your enemy?"

"That's better than handing over the emperor to Ming Dynasty!" Huailiang said loudly. "You are a lackey of the Ming people!"

Fujiwara was speechless for a moment, seeing that several daimyo around him were already thinking of retreating, and no one dared to bear the crime of forcing the emperor to death.He asked Tie Xuan anxiously: "Little sir, what should I do?"

Tie Xuan looked around, seeming to be looking for something.It took a while before he looked back, his eyes seeming confident. "Since this person dares to use the Emperor as a hostage, what else can be done?"

"The only thing we can do is retreat."

"But!" Fujiwara said unwillingly. "If we just retreat like this, isn't that what we did tonight? Isn't everything going to be in vain?"

They are here to be the oriole behind, not to be the atmosphere team.

"From the standpoint of our Ming Dynasty, we do not support your forcible attack, sir." Tie Xuan said, and several daimyo around Fujiwara also looked over. "Emperor Changqing is my Ming Dynasty's employer. No matter what, we all hope that he can live."

"..."

Fujiwara was speechless. He was working for the Ming Dynasty. Now that even Tie Xuan, the young master of the Ming Dynasty, said so, he had no reason to continue to besiege Huai Liang.

Waving his hands for the daimyo to withdraw from the siege, Fujiwara couldn't help but feel disappointed.

~~
Similarly, Chang Qing, who was held against the Japanese sword, also looked disappointed.He didn't expect that Fujiwara would be forced to retreat so easily after creating such a huge battle.This is tantamount to directly admitting defeat to Huai Liang. How could such a person have thought of supporting him to contain Huai Liang before?
"The only one who can be trusted is Daming! After all, Daming is an outsider. At most, it only wants some money, food and ports, and does not covet our Yamato country much."

"For the time being, we will first fight with Huai Liang, and then use the Ming Dynasty to fight against Huai Liang. Only when the Ming Dynasty and Huai Liang fight together can I reap the benefits..."

While Chang Qing tightly protected the three artifacts in his arms, he thought about what to do in the future: It doesn't matter even if he abdicates, Ming will not give up the opportunity to make Yamato a vassal.

He can continue to win over Daming in the name of the previous emperor. As long as Daming needs this great cause, he can use Daming to work for him.

The only person I can trust now is Daming!

"boom!"

There was an extremely sudden sound, and Chang Qing suddenly felt a pain in his forehead, and he fell down uncontrollably.There seemed to be red liquid splashing at the front of the field of vision.

Is that...his own blood?

Strength is lost quickly.

who is it?Who dares to kill himself, the emperor?

Is it Huai Liang?Or Fujiwara?

Damn... I can only hate myself for sparing a little food and forcing the Ming Dynasty defenders away...

Ming Dynasty... Ming Dynasty's army...

Why not yet...~~
"Nani!"

In full view of everyone, Fujiwara and the samurai under Huaira saw that after a strange noise, a terrible bloody hole suddenly appeared on Emperor Changqing's forehead.

Then, he fell heavily into a pool of blood.

The Fujiwara army who was retreating was stunned, and the Huairang army who was holding the emperor hostage was also stunned.Although the killing was fierce tonight, both parties only wanted to hold the emperor hostage.

No one has ever thought about such an absurd and uninhibited thing as killing the emperor.

Although the emperor no longer has real power, the emperor's majesty has long been deeply engraved in the bones of all Japanese people.

Kill the emperor?

That is no different from killing the gods worshiped by the Japanese!
In this strange silence, someone suddenly shouted in Japanese:

"It's Huai Liang! Huai Liang killed the emperor!"

"What...I'm not, I didn't!"

"not me!"

But it didn't help, and the public was already furious.Next to the emperor, there are only you Huairiang and a few samurai with swords.In front of everyone, everyone can see that you are holding the emperor hostage.

Now that the Emperor has fallen to the ground and died, who else could it be if it wasn’t you?
We are still far away from His Majesty the Emperor, and there are steps and wooden shields between us, so there is no way he can fire a cold arrow!

Fujiwara has also realized that the dead emperor does not have the same deterrent power as the living emperor.Moreover, Huai Liang killed the emperor in full view of the public and had become an enemy of the court. Now it was justifiable to kill him. "Attack! Kill the regicide enemy Huai Liang!"

"Gentlemen, avenge His Majesty the Emperor!"

"kill!"

The palace was once again in chaos.But this time it was a more one-sided killing than before.Seeing that Huai Liang had really "killed" the emperor, the samurai on Huai Liang's side were so frightened that they lost their will to fight. They all knelt on the ground to draw a clear line with Huai Liang.Huai Liang fought and retreated under the protection of his cronies, but he himself looked confused and had no idea what had just happened.

The remains of Emperor Chokei with a hole in his forehead were quickly submerged in the hurried pursuit of the samurai.

……

"What a precise shot. Dog, you certainly deserve your reputation."

No one noticed that in a palace in the outer palace, Mu Ying and three Ming soldiers, dressed as warriors, were standing on the roof of the palace. Mu Ying held a telescope in her hand and put it down after confirming that the emperor had been killed. lens tube.

"Master Marquis, you are too complimentary." Gou'er slowly put down the rifled gun equipped with a scope in his hand, stroking the barrel of the gun fondly. "This is not due to my slave's ability, but to the fact that the artifacts created by the Marquis and His Highness are unparalleled."

"No one would have thought that the Japanese king would be killed by us hundreds of steps away."

"His Royal Highness and the Marquis have clever calculations. Even in full view of everyone, they still teach the Japanese to be manipulated. I really admire them."

"Haha, this is what Xiao Wu said, the weapons are out of date." Mu Ying smiled softly. "The gap is really too big. Even if we are killed, we still don't know what the enemy is doing."

"The Southern Dynasty is already in our pocket. After that, it will be the Northern Dynasty where the shogun is."

"It's just a Japanese country, but we, the Ming Dynasty, are bound to win it." Gou'er said.

The two watched for a while, and Mu Ying smiled and said: "Okay, the war situation has been decided."

"Let's go. I, the Ming Dynasty, have nothing to do with the internal affairs of Japan. I can't let them find traces."

The dog nodded, and the group tidied up and began to evacuate the imperial palace.

Behind them, the raging fire of the Southern Dynasty Imperial Palace has reached its end.
