The gongs and drums were sounded, and the sledgehammers were pounding on the city gate.
The people in the capital were all awakened and did not react for a while.
"The city is under siege!"
"King Zhao Yang rebelled and attacked the city!"
Some people exclaimed, this sound aroused the anxiety of the people.
Over the years, the country of Meng has been peaceful and peaceful, and the wars on the border have nothing to do with them. The capital is the safest place.
Now when I heard that someone was planning to attack the capital, everyone was panicked and didn't know what to do for a while.
In the palace.
The courtiers were also worried, and they all said: "Your Majesty, this King Zhao Yang must be eliminated. If you think about brotherhood again, I'm afraid the whole world will give up."
The emperor was furious and slapped the table angrily.
He never expected that King Zhao Yang would be a smiling tiger. For so many years, he had been pretending to cater to him and show a very affectionate brotherhood.
And he really took it seriously and believed it.
This is the art of the emperor, so taboo!
The emperor stood up, and just as he was about to speak, he fell backwards. Eunuch De exclaimed: "Call the imperial doctor!"
There was a chaos in the court, and the news of the emperor's illness was leaked by someone unknown. The people were even more frightened. The morale of King Zhao Yang's army greatly increased, and they attacked the city even more bravely.
Who doesn't want to be crowned king and prime minister? King Zhao Yang's confidants and others are very energetic and will definitely push King Zhao Yang to the throne!
In Yunxiao Palace, Concubine Rong looked sad, and beside the emperor, she sobbed softly.
After Ye Fuxun diagnosed the emperor, he looked a little solemn and angry: "What a king of Zhao Yang, how dare he poison his father."
"Xun'er, my father." Ji Yannuo immediately sat up from the pear blossom stool, looked at the dying emperor lying on the dragon couch, and clenched his fists slightly.
Ji Ruobai burst into tears, held the emperor's hand, and swallowed: "Grandpa Huang."
Ye Fuxun sighed: "My father was extremely angry, which caused the poison to take effect in advance. This poison is Du Changchang Powder, and King Zhao Yang poisoned it little by little."
"Everyone listens to the order. The emperor's poisoning and serious illness must not be leaked." Ji Yannuo quickly calmed down. He glanced around and said coldly, "If anyone hears any news, everyone present will die.
!”
The palace maid and eunuch knelt on the ground: "I will strictly follow His Highness's words and will never reveal a single bit."
Ji Yannuo temporarily took over the imperial power. He sent Generals Weichi and Ding Tong to lead troops respectively to guard the east and west cities, while he himself stayed in the palace to take charge of the overall situation.
Even if the country is broken, it cannot be in chaos!
General Yuchi raided the west city and fought with an elite force of King Zhao Yang.
In the past, the streets were full of collectors during the day, but now because of the war, not a single soul can be seen in the entire street, and the people are in panic all day long.
Suddenly, on the deserted street, a group of elite soldiers on horseback quickly passed by. They had serious expressions and all had long swords at their waists.
When the people who were hiding in their houses and afraid to go out saw this scene, they shook their heads and sighed, "I don't know when this war will end. There is not much food in the house now, but when it comes to saving lives, which merchant is still willing?"
It’s for sale.”
Everyone wants to survive, that is, not to go out, and there must be enough food at home to support their survival.
If merchants want to make a fortune, they can naturally increase the price of food to several times the previous price. However, merchants are also human beings. When faced with the murderous King Zhao Yang,
There is only one way to die, and they are not willing to throw away their lives for a little money.
There were several common people hiding in the house. Although they all lived under the emperor's feet, they lived in poverty. I thought that no matter what happened, the capital city would be more defensive than other areas, but I never thought that the first thing to happen would be the capital city.
The faction of King Zhao Yang was even more ruthless. A few days ago, they witnessed King Zhao Yang killing a commoner who was unwilling to surrender to him without saying a word.
How could such a vicious person hold the throne of God? People's impression of King Zhao Yang was very bad when they mentioned him.
If King Zhao Yang wins this war, then the lives of these people will be miserable and even miserable.
On the other hand, if I were to sit in court today.
Their lives will be the same as before, but they will be very happy. The people will know which person is more suitable for the throne, and they all know who is the most beneficial to them.
And King Zhao Yang also knew that the people did not surrender to him. After all, he had been in the fiefdom for so many years and did not know the people in the capital. But here, only one person can win, and the person who wins is destined to be him, and only he can win.
.
In order to win, King Zhao Yang directly used all means to arrest all the people who were unwilling to bow to him.
Now, King Zhao Yang is on his way to imprison the people in the dungeon.
The guards of the dungeon saw him coming, saluted respectfully, and then opened the dungeon.
When the people imprisoned inside saw King Zhao Yang coming, they looked away with just one glance.
To them, King Zhao Yang was a man who rebelled and ruined their lives. To them, they would never bow their heads to King Zhao Yang.
"After all, I have given you time to consider, are you willing to surrender to me now?" King Zhao Yang looked at the people coldly.
Once these people surrender to him, he can put these people back, thus making them think that it is a good thing to submit to King Zhao Yang.
After all, no matter how hard he forced it, nothing more convincing could be said by them as common people.
"Pooh!"
The old man glared at King Zhao Yang. After he said those words, he spit on the ground. It was obvious that he was extremely disgusted by the impression of King Zhao Yang.
"Don't say more, we won't listen to you. After all, no one like you can rise to power in this world. One day, His Highness will guard the capital.
And you were just a prisoner at that time! Whether you want to be killed or beheaded today, it’s up to you!” Although the old man was old, he spoke without any ambiguity and was not afraid of King Zhao Yang, whose expression became increasingly gloomy.
King Zhao Yang will never be able to climb this imperial city.
The old man was very optimistic about Ji Yannuo, who was the prince, and the old man did not look down on such a rebellious person.
The other people listened and nodded in agreement.
None of them would listen to King Zhao Yang or bow to King Zhao Yang.
King Zhao Yang's face was already very gloomy, and his whole body's air pressure was very low. After a long time, he curled his lips and sneered, with a fierce look in his eyes and said with a smile: "If you want to die, then I will help you."
After the words fell, King Zhao Yang glanced at the guard beside him.
The guard understood instantly, drew his sword, and killed all the people inside.
"Hang all their corpses on the tower as a warning. If they don't obey me, this will be their fate." After saying this, King Zhao Yang left.
