Chapter 141
Author: Qing Yunmo
National Division:???
Is that what he meant?
Seeing the Imperial Preceptor standing there in a daze, the chamberlain did not dare to grab his sleeve, so he could only urge, "Master Imperial Preceptor, if you don't go over now, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"Several princes have been slashed several times by His Majesty. There are guards around them, and no imperial doctor has passed."
The Imperial Master was very happy, thinking that the Emperor of Chu's approach was quite easy.
If we really cut off all our sons, we would save a lot of trouble.
However, in order to watch the excitement, the imperial master still quickened his pace and trotted in tandem with the chamberlain.
There was chaos everywhere in the palace. Although there was no scene of large-scale escape of the palace people, everyone was staring at the entrance of the palace, more or less holding a small package in their hands.
The Imperial Master looked away and soon heard screams.
The waiter's scalp was numb due to the sound, and he could smell the pungent smell of blood before he got over.
From the corner of his eye, the ground was covered with slowly flowing blood.
Your Majesty, is this going to kill all the princes?
The chamberlain was frightened and approached. A guard made way for him, and saw that the sword in the emperor's hand had disappeared.
If you shift your gaze again, you will see the sword sinking into a man's heart.
The man opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe that he would end up like this.
The chamberlain recognized the man. He was the fifth prince, the son of the imperial concubine whom Your Majesty loved most.
On weekdays, the fifth prince can almost be said to be walking sideways in the palace...
how come?
The imperial concubine staggered along the way. When she saw her son lying in a pool of blood from a distance, she screamed and fainted.
The Emperor of Chu, who had been stiff for a long time, could not help but slowly raise his head when he heard the scream.
He saw his beloved son looking at him with his eyes open, and his two sons lying on the ground not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Although the remaining ones are still conscious, their bodies are covered with scars.
The Imperial Master coughed twice, but the guards did not dare to stop him and allowed him to walk in slowly.
"Several princes are secretly plotting rebellion, and Your Majesty has found evidence."
"However, His Majesty only cared about the relationship between father and son and killed only the leader, while the others were sent to prison."
Without waiting for the Emperor of Chu's reaction, the Imperial Master had already issued the order.
Dozens of imperial guards did not look at the emperor after hearing this, and directly separated and dragged the prince, who was still conscious and did not know whether he was alive or dead, to the prison.
"Your Majesty, please go back to the palace to rest first. Regarding the medicine, we have some progress to discuss with Your Majesty."
Medicine? The elixir of life!
The emperor suddenly became energetic, and regardless of the blood on the ground, he stood up and followed the imperial master.
When he arrived at the palace, the imperial master took out a porcelain vase from his arms and placed it in front of the emperor.
"Actually, I have tried this medicine on people before. Your Majesty can extend your life by three years if you take three pills in a row."
"Only three years?"
The Imperial Master kept his expression straight and talked nonsense, "I will go into seclusion after today, and I will refine the medicine. One pill can extend your life by ten years."
Although the emperor was dissatisfied with the extension of his life for such a short period of time, he believed the words of the imperial master even more.
If the medicine brought out by the imperial master directly said that it could lead to immortality, he would still be suspicious.
After exiting the door, the Imperial Master gave the guard who was following him the badge that allowed him to leave the palace, and winked at him.
Because he was wearing the clothes of the National Preceptor's Office, no one stopped him along the way.
The imperial master took his time and walked to the top of the city tower to look at it for a while.
After a while, there was a dark blackness in the distance.
coming.
He picked up the whistle hanging from his waist and blew lightly.
In front of the four city gates, guards took out their waistbands.
For a moment, the city gate was wide open.
When they noticed the soldiers dressed in Beixiao's clothes were coming, the guard guarding the door quickly closed the door.
But the guard who had taken out his belt pulled out the sword from both sleeves and killed most of the guards guarding the door in just a few moves.
The emperor of Chu State listened very much to the advice of his imperial advisor, so he never ordered more manpower to guard the city gates, even if Chu State lost successive battles.
So when Beixiao's cavalry stepped into the city gate, the scattered guards at the door couldn't stop them.
The city gates on all four sides were blocked, so those inside could not escape, and those outside could not be rescued.
Not to mention, when the imperial guard camp stationed not far outside the city gate heard the news that the palace had been lost, they hesitated and pretended not to have heard it.
Fan Zhou arrogantly led two teams of soldiers into the palace of the Emperor of Chu, tied up all the palace residents, and then waved his hand to signal them to bring the Emperor of Chu over.
The Emperor of Chu had just taken medicine and had just fallen asleep.
He was wandering around like this and didn't even wake up.
A bold chamberlain said, "Your Majesty won't be able to wake up for more than an hour."
Fan Zhou: "..."
He ordered people to tie up the emperor and take him away, and then walked out again.
At this time, the city tower was already occupied by Beixiao's soldiers.
The Imperial Master was in the middle and read a few poems that no one could understand.
When some people heard that the Imperial Master was still in danger, they ran out of their houses and wanted to intercede for the Imperial Master.
Seeing that there were a lot of people on the street, the Imperial Master continued to sigh, "Your Majesty is so stupid that the Chu State has exhausted its strength and is unable to recover."
"Although I knew the outcome in advance, I still wanted to save it, but unexpectedly, none of your Majesty and the princes could take on the important responsibility."
The Chu State was not without loyal ministers. When they heard the noise, they put on court clothes regardless of their lives and stood outside the city gate, shouting curses.
The Imperial Master nodded as he listened to these scoldings and said, "My body failed to save the fate of Chu State, so I really deserve to die."
"After my death, I hope that the people of Beixiao will treat the people of Chu and all... ministers kindly."
The imperial master walked to the city wall and turned his back to everyone.
He closed his eyes and shouted, "Please don't worry about me. Although I die, I will never die."
After saying this, his body fell straight down.
In the silence, there was a "bang", and the man's body fell to the ground, and a bloody flower bloomed.
The courtiers who were still yelling: "..."
Their faces were suppressed and turned red. Although their loyalty was not gone, they believed the words of the Imperial Master little by little in their hearts.
After watching all this, the people all knelt down in front of the corpse of the Imperial Master.
Yunyang did not enter the city gate, but stayed outside.
Given his status, it would be inappropriate to go any further.
Xie Li came over quietly and said softly, "Your Highness, he is really dead."
Yunyang: "..."
How could he not die after jumping from such a high height?
"It's a pity. If he's still alive, we can settle the matter with him."
Yunyang turned his head with a complicated expression, "Do you believe it?"
"Your Highness, you don't believe it?" Xie Li pointed at the people kneeling on the ground, "If you want the Emperor of Chu to believe that this Imperial Master may not be capable, how about making the people believe it too?"
"They were not very sad when the Kingdom of Chu was destroyed, but when the Imperial Master died, they felt as if their own parents had died."
Yunyang: "..."
He still didn't believe it.
And I thought it was very strange, but I couldn't find what was strange about it for a while.
