Chapter 89: Conspiracy to usurp the throne
In the Korean King's City, Korean King Li Zhu woke up suddenly. Suddenly he saw a figure flashing outside the house. He immediately stood up, held the long sword beside him in his hand, and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
But there was silence outside the house, and Li Zhu looked around warily. Just as he was staring straight outside the house, suddenly a chill hit the back of his neck. He quickly turned around to look, but when he turned around, the candles in the house were instantly extinguished.
"Someone is coming!"
"Someone is coming!"
Li Zhu yelled a little madly, but there was no movement except the sound of the wind, so he walked out of the palace with a sudden thought, but suddenly saw a figure appearing in front of him.
"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock"
There was a sound of water dripping, and Li Zhu suddenly felt a chill on his head. He looked up and saw a body hanging on the beam.
"Ah!" The corpse was that of a palace guard, and blood was dripping down his neck.
The movements of Li Zhu's hands were a little shaky, and he stumbled towards the outside of the palace. He missed the mark and rolled down the steps.
When he stood up, he suddenly saw someone standing in front of him.
"It's you!"
The person who came was none other than the eldest son Li... who was imprisoned in prison.
"Father, long time no see!" Li?? said with a smile on his face.
"You, you, you!" Li Zhu stammered, "Why are you here?"
"Father, you are old!"
When Li Zhu heard this, he was shocked and suppressed his anger and said, "You want to rebel?"
"No, father, I just inherit the throne," Li?? said with a sneer.
Li?? took out the long sword in his hand, approached step by step and said: "Father, you are the one who forced all this. I just had no choice. Father, please go in peace!"
"You traitor!" Li Zhu raised his sword and was about to cut him off.
However, Li?? blocked it easily. The force of his hand pressed against Li Li little by little, and a clear blood mark was pressed out.
Li Shu's face turned red as he looked at the sword pointed at his neck, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps.
"Come here!" Li Zhu yelled with all his strength.
At this time, the palace door suddenly opened, and a group of soldiers broke into the palace door. Li Zhu looked at the officials who were pressed forward and felt something bad.
"Kings!"
Some old ministers looked at Li Zhu's appearance and said sadly: "Your Majesty, if you kill your father, you will be struck by lightning!"
But before he finished speaking, the sword flashed and the old minister fell in a pool of blood. Everyone was stunned into silence and did not even dare to look at the two people facing each other in the field.
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.
Li?? stood up straight and said to everyone: "From now on, I am the new king of South Korea!"
Many old ministers looked at Li Zhu who fell to the ground, with sad expressions on their faces and couldn't help but kneel down.
"Why don't you come to see the new king?" Li?? looked coldly at the kneeling officials and winked at the sergeant beside him.
The sergeant walked toward the kneeling officials with a sword in hand, and a bloody massacre began. Everyone frowned at the sticky blood at their feet, but their eyes trembled slightly.
"Greetings to the King!"
I couldn't help but immediately knelt down and kowtowed as if I was pounding garlic. My whole head was bloody and bloody, and I didn't know if it was my own blood or the blood of the corpses lying on the ground.
Seeing this, Li smiled slightly and stood in the blood and said: "Please get up!"
The whole person looked like an evil spirit.
As the sun rose, bad news came from the Korean palace: the old king died suddenly of a serious illness, and the crown prince Li?? succeeded to the throne before his death, and a national funeral was held.
The news immediately spread throughout South Korea. Mao Wenlong, who was far away in Dongjiang Town, also heard the news. He was not surprised at all. At this moment, he was sitting in a secret room where he lived in seclusion.
Suddenly a gust of fragrant wind came, and Mao Wenlong looked at Li Hao who walked in with Mei Niang in his arms.
"Let's start taking action!" Mao Wenlong said.
Li Hao nodded and said: "I have already made arrangements."
"That batch of things has been shipped outside the royal city. If you organize people to receive it, you will soon become a veritable king of Korea." Mao Wenlong handed a simple box made of pear wood to Li Hao.
Li Hao looked at the letter inside and nodded, handing it to Mei Niang.
Mei Niang turned around and left, and the two of them drank tea quietly. After a while, a figure walked in. Looking at Sanbeile who looked tired, Mao Wenlong said, "It seems like the war is not going well for you?"
Sanbeile picked up a bowl of tea, sniffed it and said, "Why is it that there is someone who is managing the war? It's just that Huang Taiji used this war to secretly seize our military power. Now my situation is becoming more and more difficult to maintain."
".
"This happened. Could it be that he noticed something?" Li Hao asked.
Sanbeile shook his head and said: "After all, he is the Great Khan in name only. Although Sibeile is co-ruler, we are still shorter than him. If it were anyone else, we still would not let myself, the Great Khan, be equal to others."
"After all, the taste of power is really wonderful, isn't it, the future King of Korea!"
"Master Beile, please don't underestimate me. Maybe you can still sit in that position in the future!"
The two looked at each other, with the flame of power in their eyes. Mao Wenlong just listened to the two of them quietly while drinking tea.
"Now that everyone is gathered, let's take action!"
Mao Wenlong said: "There is another problem now, food!"
The other two people were a little confused: "Didn't they buy four thousand shi of grain?"
"The ship encountered Japanese pirates at sea. The ship carrying grain was destroyed and 1,500 shi of grain were lost."
Hearing this, the faces of the two people were a little ugly. Li Hao said: "Now that the arrow is on the string, it has to be fired. I can't care so much. The food of two thousand five hundred shi is enough to last more than a month. Let's raise money during this time!"
Sanbeile said: "I will temporarily transfer 500 stones from the camp and transport the rest. The rest is up to Master Mao."
Mao Wenlong nodded and said: "I'll solve it!".
Watching Mao Wenlong leave, the two whispered: "Do you believe what he said?"
Sanbeile looked outside the house and said: "I only know that he is from Ming Dynasty, and I, Houjin, are fighting with Ming Ting."
"I know" Li Hao and Sanbeile left together.
Didn't notice a figure flash past.
After the succession ceremony of Li??, the Korean royal city began to spread the news that the new king had killed his father in order to ascend to the throne.
Li??, who was sitting on a high seat in the hall, said to the man in armor below: "You must find out who leaked the news!"
"Your Majesty, many of the officials are suspected, and there is really no way to investigate them!" The armored sergeant argued anxiously with cold sweat on his face.
"waste!"
"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"I decree that anyone who dares to discuss this matter will be killed!"
Seeing Li??, whose expression was gradually becoming distorted, the sergeant immediately rolled out of the hall and said: "I obey the order!"
"Father, everything you have is mine, the throne, gold and silver, including your woman!"
As he spoke, he looked around at the side room of the main hall.
There was a tall screen erected. Li walked over and kicked the screen down, watching dozens of women kneeling on the ground tremblingly in gauze skirts.
His body was covered with scars, and his eyes looking at Li?? were full of fear.
"Beauty, here I come!" She said and rushed towards the crowd.
