Yu Ji sat aside and did not dare to say a word. Although he was concerned about the safety of his grandfather and sister, he could only wait silently at this moment.
The situation outside was already very chaotic. As a former military leader, Li Jing could no longer bear it.
"What's going on?" Li Jing walked over, stood in front of the black-armored guard, and asked in a low voice.
The black-armored soldier was no longer as arrogant as before, and bowed his hands in salute: "In response to your Majesty's words, I will follow the emperor's order and ask you all to wait here. As for the external matters, I can only say that I have no comment."
"What's the point of having no comment? Those present are all well-known figures in Chang'an City. If there is something wrong, you..."
An unknown person shouted something tremblingly in the room, but at the end of the sentence he saw a black-armored soldier taking two steps toward the inside with a sword in hand, and the voice suddenly stopped.
Li Jing frowned: "The matter is so urgent? You don't even hesitate to kill?"
"My lord, don't let your humble position make things difficult. The emperor has an order for today's matter. Anyone who doesn't listen to the advice will be killed first and then reported. Your Excellency is a minister, so you should set an example. Please forgive me."
Li Jing has not been involved in court affairs for a long time, but he has experienced a lot and has guesses about today's unexpected situation.
This is the Imperial City, and one step ahead is the Imperial Palace. If such a conflict breaks out in the Imperial City, it is probably only an accident such as a mutiny, right?
But looking at the current situation in the court, there is no sign of mutiny, so it is definitely not an internal problem within the court.
Apart from those within the imperial court, perhaps the only one who could make a commotion in Chang'an City and dared to make such a big commotion was the "New Tang" whom I had occasionally heard of.
"New Tang?"
Li Jing felt a little more worried, as the patients left over from his era had always been a hidden danger.
After hiding it for more than ten years, is it finally no longer possible?
Li Jing thought in his mind that if his guess was good, it would be a good thing.
Nuvoton's problem is one that it will have to face sooner or later.
If the other party keeps hiding like this, the threat will only become bigger and bigger in the future.
The other party exposed himself, obviously losing patience.
People who take the initiative often have disadvantages.
As the saying goes, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain, but this is an opportunity to bring long-term peace and stability to the Tang Dynasty.
Today's matter is related to the centuries-old pattern of the Tang Dynasty. It is understandable that the emperor is so determined that he will not hesitate to kill anyone.
But Li Jing also has hidden worries.
As a staunch supporter of Li Shimin, he also knew the emperor's character well.
In terms of the emperor's various actions during his reign, he can't be considered a wise king, but he can't count any mistakes or omissions.
Although he is an emperor, he also has a compassionate heart, does not use heavy punishment, and implements benevolent policies, which is obvious to all the world.
But when it came to events more than ten years ago, the emperor's attitude towards people was completely opposite.
Just like today, anyone who tries to show dissatisfaction will be killed directly, regardless of the other person's identity or any explanation.
Li Jing looked at the corpse on the ground and sighed silently in his heart: "It seems that the emperor still hasn't gotten over the incident at Xuanwu Gate."
boom!
There was a loud noise, the beam above the head collapsed, and a huge hole suddenly appeared in the roof.
Three figures fell from the sky, and amid the screams, the three figures fought with the black-armored soldiers.
The building fell into chaos, and this chaos was just a small microcosm of the chaos in the entire imperial city.
Someone tried to escape, but as soon as he took two steps out, he was beheaded by a sword beam.
Blood spattered on Yu Ji's face, and his head buzzed. He couldn't help but sit on the ground and back away.
Li Jing took a step forward, grabbed Yu Ji's collar and pulled him behind him.
At this time, the man in black appeared and took out an imperial edict and recited it solemnly: "By the fate of heaven, the Holy Emperor of the New Tang Dynasty summoned and said: Li Er stole the country, killed his brother and his father. It is not allowed by the laws of nature, and it is not suitable for a large country to be governed. Now the new Tang Dynasty
The rebel army of the Tang Dynasty was sent out in the imperial city, followed the way of heaven, changed the national edict, abolished the old system, and flattered the new law. Those who obeyed the new Tang Sage Emperor were specially ordered to live, and those who rebelled were destroyed."
After saying a brief sentence, he swiped the long sword in his hand, and another person's blood spattered.
"ah!"
The crowd became more panicked, but there were not enough people in black, so they obviously couldn't control it. Two more people were killed when they raised their hands, but the people in the attic had already scattered to the street.
What New Tang?
What holy emperor?
It's all bullshit in the face of life and death.
All the people here are looking for their subconscious actions in life.
"Hahaha!" Li Jing laughed wildly, "What a big joke. Just like me, it is a legacy of the previous generation. Today, it is at the end of its power, but you call yourself the emperor in the imperial city?"
The man in black stared at Li Jing, his pupils narrowed, as if he recognized him.
The opponent's sword reached Li Jing in an instant. Li Jing hooked his back foot and a piece of tile flew out from behind, hitting the man in black on the chest and forcing him back.
The man in black stood still and patted his chest, but it had no effect.
"Li Jing, you were responsible for the Xuanwumen Incident. Today it's time to settle the score!"
Li Jing did not dare to neglect. He had no weapons in his hand, so he had to take a piece of broken wood and hold it in his hand.
Seeing Li Jing's alert look, the man in black sneered: "Military God of the Tang Dynasty? Bah! There are thousands of heroes in this world. Without the Xuanwu Sect, who can stand up to you, a villain who can make the most of the situation?"
Knowledge without knowledge, martial arts without martial arts! Today, you are proud of the heroes in the world, and you can't even catch a move! Such a villain can actually be the Duke of the country! This is the biggest joke in the world! I think back then, there were heroes in the world.
They are all under the command of the Crown Prince, and the country of the Tang Dynasty was built with their own flesh and blood. Unexpectedly, today they have become the rebels of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Successful kings and defeated bandits, this world is no longer something you can change."
"Old man, let's see how many of my moves you can catch with these decades of hard work!"
After saying that, the man in black rushed towards Li Jing again.
The other party is not a master, but no one who can participate in today's assassination is weak.
And Li Jing is already old, and even when he was young, Li Jing was not very advanced in kung fu.
The other party mocked Li Jing because he believed that Li Jing was a general of a country but his kung fu skills were low and pitiful.
When the two actually confront each other, their strengths and weaknesses suddenly become apparent.
Li Jing had all the disadvantages and tried his best just to deal with it.
After just a few rounds, Li Jing was hit with a sword on his left shoulder and kicked away by his opponent. Fortunately, two young scholars who were unlucky were knocked into the chest by Li Jing and Li Jing was not seriously injured.
"Is this the General? Hahaha... What a big joke!"
Li Jing gritted his teeth and did not answer. There was a hint of loneliness on his old face.
The other party came closer step by step, and when he was about to take action again, a shout came from the distance: "Grandpa!"
The voice was weak, but it echoed with Li Jing's voice in a subtle way. Li Jing subconsciously tilted his head.
A fast horse broke through the imperial city gate. Li Shuwang, dressed in powerful clothing, drew a crossbow arrow from a hundred meters away, and then pulled the trigger.
