Chapter 1331 The Death of Liu Zixing, the Master of Palace Transformation
In the palace, Liu Zixing came to Zhao Teng's bedroom.
Although Zhao Teng was a chamberlain, he colluded with the general Liu Yuan and used the emperor to control the princes. He was extremely powerful. Even in the palace, he could dominate the sky with one hand.
A eunuch has a huge palace compound, guards and maids to protect him, and his treatment is no worse than that of the emperor.
It is rare in ancient times that he could reach his current status as a chamberlain eunuch.
It is precisely because of this that in the past two years, Zhao Teng was so proud that even the emperor did not look down on him, and he became very arrogant and domineering.
Liu Zixing, who was already prepared, took Meng Luan to Zhao Teng's palace and prepared to assassinate Zhao Teng.
In order to paralyze Zhao Teng, he kept his attitude extremely low, said all kinds of nice things, and even squatted down to wash Zhao Teng's feet, which greatly satisfied Zhao Teng's vanity.
Regardless of whether Liu Zixing has power or not, he is still the prince in name, the King of Guangling, a dignified royal family, and he is groveling to wash his own feet. How can Zhao Teng not be so proud and arrogant?
But just as he was enjoying himself, Liu Zixing's face turned stern, and he suddenly pushed him down on the bed and covered his mouth and nose with a footcloth, trying to cover him to death.
Zhao Teng was an eunuch. Even though he had been pampered and pampered over the years and his physical strength was not as good as before, he was still stronger and struggling crazily than the sick Liu Zixing.
Liu Zixing tried his best, and seeing Zhao Teng struggling more and more fiercely, he shouted at the four palace ladies around him who were already frightened.
"Nanchen Wang's army is already outside Zhongzhou City. Come and help if you want to survive. Hurry."
The four frightened maids hesitated for a moment after hearing Liu Zixing's words, and then they all rushed forward to help hold Zhao Teng down.
Although they were the maids of Zhao Teng's palace, Zhao Teng was domineering and vicious, and he often abused and tortured them, so they only hesitated for a few breaths and immediately helped Liu Zixing.
With the help of four fresh troops, Liu Zixing suddenly felt much more relaxed. Zhao Teng struggled wildly for a few times, but was unable to break free. The suffocation caused his strength to disappear quickly, and his eyes began to turn white.
After a while, Zhao Teng no longer had the strength to struggle, and his body slowly softened, but Liu Zixing and the others still did not relax, and continued to exert force with ferocious expressions.
It wasn't until a long time later that Liu Zixing saw that Zhao Teng was no longer breathing, that his body softened and he sat down on the bed.
The four palace maids were also frightened to death, and their bodies fell limply to the ground.
Liu Zixing gasped for breath, looking at Zhao Teng who was already dead and could no longer die, he still felt his whole body trembling and his arms shaking.
This was the first time he had personally killed someone, and the one he killed was Zhao Teng, who could cover the sky with one hand. How could he not be afraid or nervous? If it weren't for the Nanchen King's army that gave him the confidence to kill him, he wouldn't have dared to do it.
Such a thing.
After a while, he calmed down, stood up slowly, told the four palace maids to keep an eye on this place, tidy up his clothes, and then walked out of the palace.
As soon as he walked out, Meng Luan, who was waiting outside, called out worriedly: "Your Highness."
Liu Zixing looked straight and said with a proud tone: "The eunuch Zhao Teng has confessed his crime and committed suicide."
Upon hearing this, the four guards guarding the door immediately drew their sabers and pointed them at Liu Zixing, shocking Liu Zixing.
"Zhao Teng is already dead, who are you still fighting for? Why don't you commit suicide on the spot."
But he overestimated his ability and his ability to escape.
The four guards shouted: "Kill him and escape, so that we can survive."
After saying that, the man who shouted raised his sword and slashed at Liu Zixing.
The frail Liu Zixing, who still had no trace of the princely demeanor, was so frightened that he hurriedly backed away and bumped into the door.
Seeing that the blade was about to fall on Liu Zixing, Meng Luan shouted, rushed to block Liu Zixing, and slashed his back with two long knives.
"Whoa, whoa!"
Meng Luan screamed and fell on Liu Zixing's body. Liu Zixing was shocked and angry.
"Meng Luan."
But the four guards didn't care about their misery and raised their swords again. Meng Luan ignored the pain and protected Liu Zixing again.
"Your Highness, be careful."
After just a few blows, Meng Luan no longer had any strength and fell softly. Liu Zixing couldn't hold him back.
"Kill him quickly, we will be in trouble when the Imperial Guard comes."
One of them kicked Meng Luan aside and lifted Liu Zixing over.
Liu Zixing shouted in horror: "You can't kill me. I am the prince and King Guangling. King Nanchen's army has already deserted outside Zhongzhou City and surrendered secretly..."
"Pfft!"
His answer was a knife stabbed directly into his stomach, making his eyes widen in vain.
"puff!"
Another stabbing blow, and then the guard threw him to the ground.
"withdraw."
The four people hurriedly prepared to escape, but before they could take a few steps, a group of black-armored soldiers suddenly rushed over and surrounded them.
Zhou Tianxing took the lead and shouted: "King Xiao Nanchen is here, why don't you do it right there?"
Seeing so many people, the faces of the four guards became ugly. One of them shouted: "We have killed King Guangling. Surrendering means death. We will fight them."
After saying that, the four of them raised their swords and attacked King Nanchen's army.
They had no choice. It would be okay if they didn't kill Liu Zixing. Maybe there would be a way to survive. But the problem is, they just killed Liu Zixing. All fools know that there is absolutely no way to survive by surrendering. They might as well fight to the death, maybe there is still a chance of survival.
sex.
"court death!"
Zhou Tianxing's eyes flashed with coldness, and he shouted: "Kill!"
In fact, even if they didn't resist, he wouldn't be able to survive. After all, it was related to the master's mission and there must be no mistakes.
Although these four guards were skilled in martial arts, they were no match for a group of Nanchen King's troops. In just a moment, they were killed and imprisoned.
Zhou Tianxing quickly walked towards Liu Zixing and Meng Luan who were lying in a pool of blood. Meng Luan had no breath, his eyes were wide open and he refused to rest in peace.
But what surprised him was that Liu Zixing was not dead yet. When he walked over, Liu Zixing actually reached out and grabbed him.
"help me."
Zhou Tianxing frowned slightly and said softly: "Don't worry, King Guangling, I will go find the imperial doctor now."
King Guangling held his breath, and when he heard Zhou Tianxing's words, a smile appeared on his face. But the next moment, his expression froze, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhou Tianxing in disbelief. Then he lost all his strength and was no longer there.
breath.
"Leave some people behind and guard this place. No one is allowed to come in or out. The rest, follow me to rescue the driver."
At the same time, in a street near the palace, Liu Yuanzheng led a group of men and prepared to enter the palace. Because Liu Zixing used Zhao Teng's hand to convey the news to him about entering the palace, he led people to the palace overnight.
But just as they were about to arrive at the palace city, a group of masked men suddenly rushed out from both sides of the road, dozens of them, and surrounded them.
Although he was surrounded, Liu Yuan did not show any panic. Instead, he shouted in a cold voice: "Who are you? Do you know who I am? I am the general of the dynasty. If you dare to kill me, you are not afraid of being killed."
Nine tribes?”
But Xie Yun and Feng Qiao, the masked leaders, did not answer her at all. They just waved their hands and everyone immediately swarmed forward. Even though Liu Yuan and his men fought with all their strength, the difference in strength was too obvious. After a while,
All his men were killed, and he himself was captured.
Late at night, Zhou Chen did not rest, but was waiting for news.
I don't know how much time passed, but Xie Yun came back first and told him that General Liu Yuan had been arrested and no one found out that it was them.
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Well, keep an eye on him and don't let anyone get in touch with him."
"Yes, Master."
Shortly after Xie Yun left, the person sent back by Zhou Tianxing to report the news also brought the news to Zhou Chen.
When Zhou Chen heard from the messenger that the matter had been settled, he was not surprised.
Zhou Tianxing led a group of Nanchen King's troops into the palace, and he had his orders. If Liu Zixing could not be eliminated, then there would be a problem.
Although he doesn't care about Liu Zixing, if he dies, he will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble. At least he will be liberated in time, and he will no longer be able to act like a miscreant.
After receiving the news, he fell asleep peacefully. He would go to the palace tomorrow to see the young emperor and see if there was any chance to deal with the Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen.
The next day, the ministers went to court, but they got the idea of suspending the court. This made all the ministers very dissatisfied and left the palace.
But as soon as these ministers left the palace, they met people from the Yang family. They were invited by Yang Sanniang to the Yang Mansion in the city, and they also met the former Tai Fu Fu Guang who resigned.
Piao Guang's prestige is indeed not weak, and coupled with the name of the Piao family, it really suppressed a group of officials headed by Prime Minister Liu Wei.
Not to mention the conversations between Cao Guang and various ministers at Cao Mansion, Zhou Chen had already arrived at the palace.
At this time, most of the palace had been taken over by King Nanchen's army. As for Emperor Liu Hui, he was locked up in his own palace, alone, and no one could enter it.
What Zhou Chen came to was the palace of Emperor Liu Hui.
Liu Hui has been afraid since last night, because he had negotiated with Liu Zixing, but after a night, there was still no news. Being cowardly by nature, he did not dare to go outside to inquire. He just wanted to avoid it and put it away.
Lock him up by himself.
After such a long time, there was still no news. He couldn't help but feel fear in his heart. He frightened himself, and actually curled up in front of the bed alone and started crying without any image.
When Zhou Chen walked into the dormitory, he happened to see Liu Hui crying, which made him quite speechless.
It is said that the emperor is the supreme king in the world, he dominates the world, and his words can determine life or death. However, the Liu Hui in front of him was so cowardly that he was bullied by eunuchs, bullied by officials, and even later bullied by the queen mother. He clearly had a chance to make a comeback, but in the end he failed.
Because of his soft heart, he lost his life.
I have to say that this little emperor Liu Hui is really a shame among emperors and is extremely cowardly.
Some people may think that he is kind, but is he really kind? He can obviously do good things, but he has killed more people for various reasons. He is not called kind, but stupid and cowardly.
But what does this have to do with him?
He doesn't want to be an emperor, and he also has hundreds of thousands of troops at his disposal. For him, a cowardly and incompetent emperor is better than a smart, capable emperor who can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes.
So he didn't mind letting Liu Hui continue to be emperor at all. He just wanted to live his small life peacefully in Xizhou, teaching Shi Yi, playing the piano, and riding horses every day. It was no different than being an emperor, who had endless things to deal with every day.
Are things more comfortable?
When Liu Hui saw Zhou Chen approaching, his body trembled even more violently. He didn't have the aura of a king or emperor at all.
However, after all calculations, Liu Hui is indeed only about fourteen years old. In fact, he is still a teenager. He has experienced many dangers since he was a child, and his fear is normal.
"Your Majesty, you are the emperor and you should not cry."
Liu Hui asked with a trembling voice: "Did the emperor kill Zhao Teng?"
Zhou Chen said: "No, Zhao Teng died of illness, but King Guangling was killed by Zhao Teng's guards, and my people had no time to save him."
"Brother Emperor is dead?"
Liu Hui looked frightened, and then asked: "What about Liu Yuan?"
Zhou Chen said: "Liu Yuan pleads guilty and has resigned from military power."
"Then, then I, will I die today too?"
"How could it be? Your Majesty is the emperor, and you will have to govern the world from now on."
Liu Hui's eyes flashed: "Uncle Emperor, won't you kill me?"
Zhou Chen chuckled and said: "I am your Majesty's minister, how dare you kill your Majesty? I did not bring any weapons into the palace today, I only brought the wooden sword given by your Majesty."
With that said, he showed the wooden sword, and Liu Hui took it in disbelief.
"Uncle Emperor."
Zhou Chen said: "Your Majesty, I am your imperial uncle. To me, you are more important than the throne, so I will never hurt you, nor will I let others hurt you."
When Liu Hui heard this, he burst into tears of gratitude and shouted excitedly: "Uncle Emperor."
With Zhou Chen's words, he was completely relieved. Since he became the emperor at the age of six, he has been a puppet and has never enjoyed the real power of the emperor.
But at this moment, with the support of King Xiao Nanchen, he was not only relieved, but also felt a strong sense of heroism in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Teng is dead and Liu Yuan is imprisoned. From now on, no one in the court can threaten your Majesty. Please take the world as your own responsibility and be a good emperor for the country and the people."
Liu Hui replied solemnly: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely live up to his teachings."
As soon as Zhou Chen and Liu Hui finished talking, the imperial guards brought the rescued Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen to the palace.
When Qi Zhenzhen saw Zhou Chen, he wanted to thank Zhou Chen with excitement, but was stopped by Zhou Chen. Then Qi Zhenzhen pretended to shed tears of gratitude and looked like he had been greatly wronged, which made Emperor Liu Hui say something again.
Kneel down and beg for forgiveness.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Chen was truly speechless. With such an emperor, the country of Beichen was really in danger.
He had watched the entire TV series Chow Sheng Ru Gu, and found it really funny about the palace battles in this drama, from the emperor to the queen mother, to the prince, eunuchs, etc.
With their level of palace fighting, they probably wouldn't survive even one episode in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Zhou Chen also came and acted out the scene of deep love between mother and son, holding each other's arms and crying with them. After finding an excuse, he left the emperor's palace and started walking around the palace.
Zhongzhou is the capital and the ancient capital of several dynasties. The palace in Beichen is also quite majestic and magnificent. However, after some changes in the palace last night and today, there are obviously fewer people in the palace.
Zhou Chen walked and came to a familiar palace. This was the palace where his predecessor and the late emperor often stayed together. It was extremely impressive in his memory.
But before he could say a few words of emotion, Yu Shiyi, who had been thinking about him all the time, hurried over and stood panting in front of him, with nothing else in her eyes except him.
