Chapter 243 Forcing the Palace

The Qianyuan Hall of Ziji Palace had a tense atmosphere today. Lidu suddenly encountered this kind of ground cow that had not been seen in a century, and the number of casualties continued to be reported from outside the palace. It seemed that the matter was more serious than they imagined.

The son-in-law Cao Yang stood at the head of the officials, squinted his eyes slightly after listening to the report from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and only gave a cold snort twice.

The little emperor Chu Xin tilted his head to look at Cao Yang's expression. He didn't speak, so Chu Xin shouldn't have accepted the words of the officials of the household department.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are many ground cracks in Lidu, and many houses have fallen..."

Before the officials from the Ministry of Industry could finish their words, they heard the sound of armored soldiers outside the hall.All the officials hurriedly turned their heads, only to see several rows of imperial guards standing in unison outside the hall.

Cao Yang walked out of the ranks of hundreds of officials without haste, and asked solemnly, "Who ordered you to come?"

"My palace!" The eldest princess Chu Xi's voice was loud and menacing. When she strode into the hall, all the officials subconsciously softened their knees, wondering whether they should worship or not?

"Emperor Sister!" Chu Xin stood up from the dragon chair in shock, with a complicated expression, whether it was happiness or sadness?

Cao Yang's eyes sank, "Where did you come from, dare to pretend to be the eldest princess! Take it quickly!" His heart was beating wildly. He really thought that Chu Xi would suddenly appear in Lidu, but he never thought that Chu Xi would be silent. He came back, and went directly to the court, killing him by surprise.

"Who dares to do it?!" Hearing the sound of a long sword unsheathed suddenly, Jing Lan, who was half-stained with blood on her shoulders, stood in front of Chu Xi holding her sword, and said in a stern voice, "The governor is ordered to escort the eldest princess back to the capital. But His Majesty personally made the will!"

"You're the one from East Fuzhou..."

"Captain Jing Lan."

Jing Lan answered simply, and only nodded slightly to the little emperor, "Lidu is about to fall, please Your Majesty quickly issue an order to order the people of Lidu to move to the east."

As soon as these words came out, Baiguan was in an uproar.

Relocating the capital is a major event, how could it be possible to mobilize everyone to move the capital just because of Jing Lan's words.

"Nonsense! You..." Cao Yang stopped loudly.

"Emperor brother, let's make an order." Chu Xi immediately interrupted Cao Yang, looking directly at the little emperor.

"Zhen...Zhen...what order should I make?" Chu Xin's voice trembled slightly.

Chu Xi pointed at Cao Yang indifferently, "My son-in-law Cao Yang, together with Qianzhulou, plotted to assassinate me. His heart can be punished, his ambition is clear, and he should be executed."

Cao Yang pretended to be calm, and said with a sneer, "Jing Lan, you are so brave. You dare to find someone to pretend to be His Highness, you are the one who can be punished!" Then he raised his head and said, "My Highness and I have been in love for many years. It is obvious to all in Lidu. How could I do such a heartless thing?!"

"Emperor brother, do you really not even recognize your sister?" Chu Xi asked again, completely ignoring Cao Yang.

"Come on! Take these two people down!" Before the little emperor could speak, Cao Yang issued an order to the imperial guards. Apart from the commander of the imperial guards, he had already replaced the lieutenants under his command with his confidants. Today he As long as it is false to kill Chu Xi, Chu Xi and Jing Lan will be punished immediately, and the little emperor will be a puppet, and the little emperor will have to do what he says in the future.

Chu Xi laughed mockingly, but she asked the Commander of the Forbidden Army outside the hall, "Master Commander, how did the late Emperor explain to you?"

"Those who cause trouble in the court, kill." Just as the commander of the forbidden army finished speaking, there was a miserable cry outside the hall. It turned out that the deputy general Cao Yang replaced was hacked to death by the commander's henchmen.

The smell of blood diffused in from outside the hall.

All the officials were terrified, and several of them fell to their knees and shouted urgently in a low voice: "Princess, calm down, calm down."

Cao Yang gasped, and subconsciously leaned towards the little emperor. Seeing the situation, the imperial guards were no longer under his control.

Jing Lan kept staring at Cao Yang from the corner of her eye, and after seeing his intentions, she quietly put her weight on her hind feet, ready to fly to the side of the little emperor Cao Yang at any time, preventing Cao Yang from taking the little emperor as a hostage.

After the commander of the forbidden army dealt with the alien party outside, he raised his sword and approached Chu Xi with a murderous look, and bowed respectfully, "But listen to your highness."

"Take down the traitor Cao Yang." Chu Xi spoke slowly on purpose, as if waiting for Cao Yang to jump over the wall in a hurry.

"No!" The commander of the imperial guard raised his eyes at the command, but he saw Cao Yang rushing up to the dragon platform and rushing towards the little emperor.

Chu Xi grabbed Jing Lan's sleeve, stopped Jing Lan from making a move, and raised her voice, "Your servant must not step on the dragon platform rashly, or you will be accomplices in treason!"

Jing Lan anxiously endured her words, "No."

Cao Yang was at the end of his rope, and had no other way out but to take the little emperor as a hostage.He hurriedly pulled the little emperor into his arms, grabbed the little emperor's throat, and shouted loudly: "No one comes here!"

"Why did the Cao family in Lidu have such a rebellious son like you!" The officials of the Cao family among the officials turned pale with fright, and knelt down towards Chu Xi, "Princess Mingjian, Cao Yang plotted rebellion, and we didn't know about it!"

The little emperor turned pale with fright, looked at Chu Xi abruptly, and said in a tearful voice, "Sister Huang, save me...help me..."

"You are the emperor of Daliang, show the bearing you should have as an emperor! Why are you crying?!" Chu Xi shouted proudly, her momentum soaring, and she walked towards Longtai without fear, "Imperial brother, you Remember to sister, the more you are not afraid of him, the less he will dare to hurt you!"

"Sister Huang..." The little emperor was so desperate that he felt a burst of warmth between his legs, and he actually urinated in front of all the officials in the main hall.

At this time, I am ashamed and afraid, how can I listen to the words?

"Woo...you will only bully me...I don't want to be the emperor...you insist on me being the emperor...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Xin'er is afraid...Xin'er doesn't want to die ..."

"To shut up!"

Cao Yang always likes to be clean, and his body is spotless on weekdays. Now that the little emperor pissed on his official robe, he suppressed his nausea, and unconsciously tightened his fingers, yelling frantically, "If you don't want to die, give me Shut up!"

"Cough..." Chu Xin's face turned red from being pinched, he wanted to cough but couldn't, the fear of dying came to his heart, making him tremble crazily uncontrollably.

"Cao Yang, are you going to kill the king?"

"Release Your Majesty!"

All the officials panicked and persuaded Cao Yang, but Cao Yang couldn't listen to anything.

The little emperor was on the verge of death, and Cao Yang was in a state of desperation.

The so-called peerless son of the Cao family in Lidu is actually an idiot beyond gold and jade.The best thing Cao Yang has done in his life is to attack his wife Chu Xi.Chu Xi thought that if Cao Yang dared to do that, it was probably because someone behind him gave him confidence, so she was sure that Cao Yang would not have the guts to kill the king with his own hands today.

Sister Mo Ruo, the younger brother, how much the little emperor Chu Xin weighs, and Chu Xi is also very clear.

Now that he had waited for the little emperor's words and saw Cao Yang's dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, the rest was just going with the flow.

Fearless, Chu Xi pressed on to Longtai step by step, pushing the tight string in the hearts of Cao Yang and the little emperor.

"Chu Xi, if you take one more step forward, I will really kill Your Majesty!"

"Kingslayer, he shall kill the Nine Clans."

Chu Xi uttered these words slowly, and the Cao officials' legs went limp, as if struck by lightning, and they sat on the ground one by one.

"You...you stop!"

"Sister Huang... save... save..."

The little emperor was completely frightened, rolled his eyes, and fainted immediately.

"Your Majesty!" Cao Yang felt the little emperor in his arms paralyzed, let go of his throat in a panic, and shook the little emperor several times, "Wake up! Wake up!"

"Cao Yang murders the king, he should be punished according to the law!" Chu Xi shouted in grief and indignation, "Today, we will go to the Cao family and we will execute together!"

"Princess, spare me!"

"Run!"

The commander of the imperial army waved his hand lightly, and the archers of the Imperial Guard stepped into the Qianyuan Hall, lined up, and aimed at the officials of the Cao family in the court hall, only to hear the sound of the bowstring, and a court slaughter immediately began.

Jing Lan guarded Chu Xi with her sword. When she looked at the dragon platform again, Cao Yang had already been nailed to the side of the dragon chair with a sword piercing her throat.The Cao family in Lidu used to be a prominent party, but because Cao Yang's reputation was ruined and the crimes of the nine clans, the phrase "accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger" is indeed shocking every word.

"Jing Lan."

"The minister is here."

Suddenly hearing Chu Xi calling her, Jing Lan came back to her senses, drew her sword and bowed to Chu Xi.

"The emperor is innocent, go and take him down." Chu Xi looked sad, as if she was extremely sad.

"promise."

Jing Lan agreed, and carried the little emperor down from the dragon platform.

"The big thing is important." Chu Xi knew that the little emperor must be alive, but now, the little emperor can only become a dead man in full view. These four words are not only to remind Jing Lan, but also to warn the rest of the officials, " Lidu is currently in great trouble, and the capital must be moved immediately!"

As soon as she finished speaking, another palace official hurriedly ran towards the outside of the palace to report, "It's no good, the Palace of Kunning has fallen!"

"It's not too late! Officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households quickly mobilized people to evacuate the people of Lidu and move to Donglin City." Chu Xi ordered in a cold voice, "The commander quickly took people to the ancestral temple and escorted the tablets of the emperors of all dynasties to Donglin. "

"promise……"

There were still many people who didn't believe in Jing Lan, but who would dare to hesitate a bit after hearing what the palace man said?Take command now,

"The Ministry of War mobilizes soldiers and horses to open the way first, clear the official roads, and beware of the rebels in Qianzhulou waiting for the opportunity to change." Chu Xi finished speaking, looked at the eunuch in charge, "Eunuch, order the servants to open the gate of the palace. The maids and servants in the palace want to Those who run for their lives should run for their lives, and those who want to stay and serve can carry the palace card and report to Donglin."

"promise!"

"Officials from various departments of the Ministry of Punishment quickly return to the government office to collect the documents, and take as much as they can. Don't put your life on Lidu."

"promise."

"The rest of the officials quickly left Ziji Palace with this palace, and moved their capital to the east."

Chu Xi ordered very quickly, and saw that the Minister of the Ministry of Rites was hesitant to speak, she knew what he was worried about, so she said in a solemn voice: "The treasures in the palace are important, but the lives of you and the people are more important than those gold and silver jewels, let's go .”

"The princess is a thousand years old, promise."

Both grace and grace.

Chu Xi is now the last royal blood of Daliang. She hugged the unconscious Chu Xin from Jing Lan's arms, and said seriously, "Jing Lan, follow me."

Jing Lan accepted the order with her fists cupped, half-supporting Chu Xi and leading the servants to walk quickly to the palace gate.

At the same time, Liu Xi led a group of people to the gate of the east city of Lidu. Seeing such a group of people trying to escape from the city, the general guarding the city was shocked and ordered to stop them.

"Lidu is about to fall, please let the general quickly let them go out of the city to escape." Liu Xi gently put down the two children in his arms, and bowed respectfully to the guard.

"You are alarmist and making noise in Lidu. This is a felony!" The guard shouted loudly, and the capital was undergoing great changes. He ordered in a loud voice, "Come here, take down this traitor!"

Liu Xi drew his sword in his hand, and shouted in a terrified voice: "The people are innocent, since the general doesn't behave like a human being, then I will teach the general how to behave!"
