Since I met you, people are dying every day

With a crisp clang, it was quickly submerged in the noisy hall.

The ministers who were chaotic outside didn't know what happened. They only recovered when they heard Eunuch Feng scream, "Hurry up! Your Majesty has been assassinated!", but they were still confused.Assassinated?How could he be assassinated?In this Palace of Preservation?Surrounded by people?Isn't the enemy still outside the palace?

The emperor suddenly closed his eyes when he saw the silver light flashing, but the expected pain never came.He opened his eyes, and the little eunuch who was just beside Eunuch Feng had already started fighting with Li Qi.Eunuch Feng also stood in front of him to protect him from retreating away from the area where the two were fighting.

Zhou Yi, who was dressed as an eunuch, was also covered in cold sweat.Li Qi was regarded as a confidant by the emperor, and he was loyal. In the list of reliable officials given to him by the emperor before, Li Qi was at the top of the list.No one expected that he would suddenly commit an assassination.Even myself, if the body hadn't reacted instinctively before the mind, picked up a wine glass and threw it over, I'm afraid it would be too late to block the arrow.

Li Qi has a hidden weapon and an armor that he wears openly.But Zhou Yi only had bare hands.When the two fought, Zhou Yi couldn't take advantage of it at all.The officials who were close to them backed away desperately, and the officials on the outer layer saw them running, so they ran faster. When they escaped for their lives, their actions were inevitably rough, some tripped, some pushed, shoved, and cursed.Some timid officials, as well as those little eunuchs serving in the palace, directly pulled their sleeves and covered their faces and howled.Those who didn't know heard people crying and added Feng Gonggong's words, and for a moment thought that His Majesty had passed away, and then they also cried: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty is dead!" People followed and cried.

Wan Lun was gone, but the other members of the Northern Party were still there. They all wanted to rush in to escort him when they heard Eunuch Feng calling for His Majesty to be assassinated.However, although these hereditary Hou Bos were doing military affairs for a living, they had long since given up the competition, and one could imagine their military strength.

Those who want to enter can't get in, and those who want to come out can't get out. Accompanied by screaming and crying, cursing and begging, the Palace of Preserving Harmony became a mess for a while.

"Be quiet! What a mess it is!" Seeing that there was no way out, a very penetrating roar forced a hole in the chaos.All eyes turned to the source of the sound.It was Yao Yi, and he glanced contemptuously at the frightened ministers, "Fortunately, you are also ministers of the imperial court. If His Majesty is still safe, what is it like to cry and make a fuss!? If you want to leave, the door is over there, and you can go by yourself." Yes! If you stay, show some courage, and I will treat you as good men who are willing to share your worries and sacrifice your lives for righteousness!" Yao Yi, a civil servant, stood with his hands behind his back, without any fear.The emperor, protected by Eunuch Feng, was standing behind him, and he was completely unharmed.

After these words, and seeing that His Majesty was safe and sound, many ministers showed shame, or pleaded guilty to the emperor, or murmured self-blame, or wanted to take credit for their crimes and squeezed up to escort him.However, quite a few took advantage of the confusion and sneaked towards the exit.The little eunuchs squeezed out in a swarm, and Eunuch Feng jumped in anger.Yao Yu stood beside Yao Yi with Li Changqi, Xu Yu and others with a complex expression.

"What are you standing there for! Cover Your Majesty to leave!" Marquis Anshun He Quan was getting older and was trapped in the crowd just now, only when he heard Yao Yi's voice did he recognize the direction, and pushed his way through the crowd with difficulty.

"Wait! No one wants to leave today!" Li Qi, who was fighting with Zhou Yi, suddenly said.

Zhou Yi was already sweating profusely, and his borrowed eunuch uniform was still soaked through.However, Li Qi didn't take advantage of it, Zhou Yi relied on his agility to deal with him, Li Qi was wearing heavy armor after all, and his physical exertion was much greater.They couldn't help each other for a moment.

Li Qi gave an order, and the guards of the Jinwu Guard and the Huben Guard outside the gate showed their weapons and blocked the entrance of the main hall. The officials who had fled just now were pushed outside by them rudely, but the emperor could not get away no matter what. up.

However, half of the people walked, and the rest stood in front of the emperor, and the chaotic scene just now settled down again.

"Li Qi, I don't treat you badly, why are you?" The emperor asked suddenly, being blocked from behind.Li Qi didn't answer, just sneered.

"Where is Mr. Zhuge?" He Quan asked again.

When everyone heard this sound, they were suddenly woken up. By the way, why didn't Zhu Jianglin see him after such a big incident happened?Most of the people left, and at first glance, I felt even more uncertain. Not only Zhu Jianglin, but most of the senior officials of the Southern Party disappeared.

"This is going to be reversed!" These five words were squeezed out from the emperor's teeth.

There was a burst of laughter outside the door. "Your Majesty, do you only know now?"

Zhu Jianglin laughed and walked in from outside the hall, but the guards silently let him go.Zhu Jianglin's footsteps were brisk, and he couldn't tell that he was an old man in his sixties who was out of breath even during the daytime sowing.Zhu Jianglin was followed by several backbones of the Southern Party, but Zhou Yi didn't notice those people at all, he only saw Ye Sirui.

Ye Sirui is gorgeously dressed and expressionless.

Ye Sirui was dressed very formally, like some kind of formal dress, red top, bottom skirt, knee covering, with complicated patterns, big crimson white belt, and jade knuckles hanging on it, making it jingle when walking.The unnamed hat is encrusted with mining jade.

In the past, Ye Sirui always didn't like overly ornate clothing, and he only preferred blue and blue clothes, so Zhou Yi always knew the scholar who wore a green robe, at most had a fan cover on his waist, and looked a little pale when he smiled.That's why Zhou Yi didn't know the man in front of him who was well dressed and expressionless.

If Li Qi wanted to, he could take Zhou Yi's life while he was absent-minded, because he had no power to fight back at that moment.It's just that Li Qi chose to retreat quickly and stand in front of Zhu Jianglin.The two factions confront each other, with the Chu River and Han Realm in the middle.

"Mr. Zhu, which song are you singing?" Regardless of the opposition, the emperor pushed aside the people who stood in front of him and walked out, leaving only Zhou Yi in the end.

"This old man pretended to be a tutor, but he didn't teach His Majesty the most important lesson. Your Majesty, cutting weeds requires rooting out." Zhu Jianglin shook his head and said with a smile, "Now this old man has to do it himself to teach Your Majesty this lesson."

"You are bold!" The Northern Party officials behind the emperor were already out of breath.Contrary to Zhou Yi, the emperor didn't even look at Ye Sirui, only staring at Zhu Jianglin. "Teacher, I'll ask you again the question I asked Li Qi just now. You are now the chief assistant of the cabinet, a first-rank Taifu, and you can be said to be an extremely human minister. What?" His tone was calm and natural, as if he was really asking the Taifu a question.

Hearing this question, Zhu Jianglin burst into laughter again, and then stopped abruptly, with a frightening expression on his thin face. "For the reputation of scholars." He replied proudly.

"Fame?" The emperor repeated these intriguing words.

"That's right." Zhu Jianglin smiled again and said, "Ziqi, please explain to His Majesty."

Ye Sirui, who was named, looked paler than usual, and his voice was thin as a gossamer, "Mr. Ge, please be considerate, Ziqi doesn't want to talk to him."

"Oh?" Zhu Jianglin still smiled amiably, "Since Ziqi doesn't want to say, Cheng Lin, you can come." Zhao Rong's face was extremely flushed due to excessive excitement. "My lord, why bother talking to him in vain? If you finish the matter earlier, how much time do you have to explain!"

"What are you trying to do?" He Quan asked.

"Mr. Anshun, since you decided to be impartial, you shouldn't come to this muddy water today!" Zhu Jianglin said coldly. "Cheng Lin, what you said makes sense, take out the edict and sign it for His Majesty."

Zhao Rong took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and threw it at the emperor.With trembling legs, Eunuch Feng trotted over to pick it up, and presented it to the emperor with both hands.The emperor just glanced at it and said, "Sure enough, I want to abdicate."

"Yes, Your Majesty, hurry up and sign. We have also brought the imperial treasure for you. If you don't sign, you will not be able to enter the Hall of Preservation and Harmony today."

"You went to the harem?" The emperor's face suddenly changed, "What did you do to my concubine?"

"Your Majesty has wronged us. We are not shameless enough to attack a group of unarmed women. Let alone a group of hens who can't lay eggs." Zhu Jianglin still said contemptuously.However, most of the emperor's concubines are the daughters and sisters of the officials of the Northern Party. Their eyes were red when they heard the words, and they wished to eat the people in front of them alive.

But behind them stood the Tiger Benwei and Jinwuwei, the bravest of His Majesty's personal guards.Even if the generals of the Northern Party think highly of themselves, they also know the truth of hitting a stone with an egg.

The scene was deadlocked for a while.Zhu Jianglin urged impatiently: "Does Your Majesty still want to procrastinate? It's better to avoid it. Let me tell you that the left and right governors of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion are already in danger, and it is useless to delay. Your Majesty might as well sign the imperial decree early." , I promise to grant you a marquis of peace on the basis of the teachers and students' affection for many years, and guarantee your prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life."

The words were extremely rude, Yuanshan Hou Yaoyu was about to rush up and fight him desperately as soon as he gritted his teeth, but He Quan grabbed him from behind.The officials were furious, but the emperor remained calm, as if he was thinking about something.

Things have come to such a point, and can come up with any clever plan?

Zhou Yi didn't listen to all the conversations, and all the conflicts were just passing clouds to him.He just stared at that person, stubbornly, refusing to move his eyes away, but that person had never looked at him since he entered the hall.

He suddenly felt that this scene was extremely absurd, like the absurd predictions of fortune tellers.He and Ye Sirui really stood on both sides of the battlefield, but there was more than that not-so-long distance between them.

Suddenly there was the faint sound of the handover of arms and soldiers shouting outside.Zhu Jianglin and Zhao Rong exchanged a look.The little emperor finally showed a winning smile.

"Teacher, I'm afraid it's easy to forget things when you get old. You have taught me the lesson of cutting grass and roots. Not only that, but you also taught me a lesson called—"

The people around him moved.The emperor looked at him with a smile, and said word by word: "To capture the thief, first capture the king."
