From the moment Yuan Wei turned around and left, to the moment he was beheaded, it took only the blink of an eye.
Then such a powerful and powerful Situ died in Chongde Hall.
This dynasty has not been without bloody coups since Guangwu, but this was the first time that bloodshed occurred at Chongde Palace.
At this time, the already panicked ministers became even more unbearable. Some hid directly behind the pillars, while others ran to He Jin to seek shelter.
But some disciples of the Yuan family still came forward and angrily rebuked the leopard head:
"Where is Zhijinwu?"
Several ministers on Prime Minister Xu's side couldn't help laughing after hearing this:
"It's already like this, why are you still holding Jinwu? Just being able to come in already shows that the holding Jinwu you are counting on is of no use! You are still talking and dreaming here."
Sure enough, the Yuan family yelled at the door for a long time, but no guard came out.
Just when he was despairing, there was a commotion outside the Suzaku Gate.
And the noise is getting louder and louder, but countless people are heard shouting outside:
"Where is Da Situ? We want to see Da Situ."
At this moment, General He Jin and Sikong Xuxiang, who had been there before, could no longer sit still. They glanced at each other, and both saw the surprise in the other person's eyes.
How come the Jinwu people who were supposed to be patrolling the Nangong arrived outside the Suzaku Gate so quickly? Could the matter have been leaked?
Many disciples of the Yuan family saw the surprise and panic on the other side, and were ecstatic in their hearts.
It turns out you haven’t dealt with Jinwu Zhi before.
Now, instead of just waiting for death, they all moved a table together and rushed towards the leopard-headed warrior blocking the entrance of the palace, obviously hoping to work together to subdue this man.
The leopard-headed warrior smiled contemptuously, and kicked all of them down with one kick, and then went up to hit them one by one.
As a result, more blood flowed from Chongde Hall.
But now because of the resistance of these people, the people led by the leopard-headed warrior also began to massacre. They specifically looked for the people who had been standing next to Yuan Wei to kill.
In the chaos, Shangshu ordered Yuan Hui to crawl to Liu Bian's throne, grab Liu Bian's feet without grace, and kowtow to beg for mercy.
The impatience flashed across Liu Bian's face, but he still said to He Jin and Xu Xiang below:
"Uncle, Master Xu, why is this?"
He Jin was obviously taken aback when Liu Bian said this.
Ha, you planned it with us, and now you ask me what happened?
However, Xu Xiang next to him was even more sophisticated. He respectfully said to Liu Bian, who was standing above him:
"Back to Your Majesty, Yuan Wei and his party have rebelled against the superiors and tried to usurp the Han Dynasty. Their disobedience is obvious. We are fighting for the country's thieves."
Then Xu Xiang added:
"The blood in Chongde Hall is all Yuan Wei's fault."
Only then did Liu Bian seem to understand the current situation, and then he remained silent. He first kicked Yuan Hui away who was hugging his feet, then turned around and retreated behind the screen behind the throne.
Obviously, Liu Biantao agreed to all this, but did not want to see the bloodshed.
Seeing Liu Bian's behavior, He Jin's eyes were complicated, and Xu Xiang's eyes were pleased.
But whether it is complicated or gratifying, they are all the same thought:
"Our emperor is a hero."
After Yuan Hui was abandoned over there, he turned around and kowtowed to Prime Minister Xu and He Jin below, begging in his mouth:
"I'm useful. I'm a minister. I can prepare edicts. It's useful."
He Jin couldn't bear to see this defeated dog, so he looked at a military official below and asked him to strangle the man.
At this moment, Xu Min on the side suddenly volunteered:
"General, wait a moment, let me kill this man."
He Jin thought for a while and nodded. He knew that Xu Min had just lost his position and was here to make up for it. And it wouldn't be a bad thing to let Xu's people get more blood.
Seeing that He Jin agreed, Xu Min took a deep breath and walked directly to the candlestick in the hall.
This candlestick is made of gold-inlaid bronze and is quite ancient in shape.
Xu Wei picked it up with his backhand, weighed it first, then walked straight towards Yuan Hui, who was shaking like chaff, and whispered:
"excuse me."
After saying this, Xu Nian took a big step, swung the lamp and threw it at Yuan Hui. Then he swung it more than ten times in a row, beating him to pieces.
Xu Nian wanted to take out all his timidity and fear towards Yuan Wei on Yuan Hui's head.
Cowards are always doubly cruel to those who are weaker.
Xu Nian was venting to his heart's content and didn't even notice that Yuan Hui's blood had already flowed to the emperor's throne, dyeing this supreme position of power a little scarlet.
He also didn't notice that the noise outside Zhuque's door became more intense.
He also didn't notice the sudden thunder outside Chongde Hall and the sudden heavy rain.
…
Outside the Zhuque Gate, Yuan Shu was no longer as powerful as before. Instead, he screamed at the top of his lungs:
"Liu Bei came out to see me. You big-eared thief, how dare you betray me?"
Yuan Shu was surrounded by loyal generals, and they all had no masters. Among them, Ji Ling said:
"Lord, we have been shouting for a long time, but Old Situ has not appeared yet. There is a change in the palace. We should inform the Dalang Lord and others immediately, otherwise there will be changes if it is too late."
Chang Nu, who was behind Ji Ling, was even more anxious. He said directly to Yuan Shu:
"Lang Jun, let's attack directly and rescue the old master first."
When Yuan Shu saw Liu Bei hiding from him, he was already angry. Seeing Qian Nu say this, he directly cursed:
"Do you think my uncle didn't die quickly enough? Once we attack the gate, it will be like a rebellion. How can my uncle survive inside? You idiot."
Chang Nu's face turned red after being scolded, but he did not dare to contradict Yuan Shu and could only remain silent.
Next to Yuan Shu was Xu You. He was just going to Yuan Mansion today to prepare for the evening banquet when he saw Yuan Shu leading troops pouring into the Zhuque Gate.
He was worried that Yuan Shu would be confused and do something irreparable, so he came to ask what happened.
Xu You knew the whole story after that, and his brows had been furrowed since then. No one knew what his plan was.
At this time, when he heard that Chang Nu was about to attack the palace gate, Xu You's eyes flashed dangerously, and then he said to Yuan Shu beside him:
"Maybe the method mentioned by Chang Nu can really save old Situ. If we can't bring danger to the princes in the palace, they will definitely not spare old Situ's life."
Yuan Shu is not stupid, he has also figured out this idea, but, but, this is an attack on the Suzaku Gate.
Although he, Yuan Shu, was fooling around, he also knew that once he led his troops to attack the gate, the Yuan family would really be rebelling. This was no reason for Yuan Shu to be careless.
Just when Yuan Shu was hesitant and unable to make a decision, Lei Bo smiled boldly on the side:
"Lieutenant, I will be the one to attack the palace gate. When the time comes, it will be my Lei Bo's idea to kill people and set fires, and it has nothing to do with the Yuan family. When the time comes, I will hide in my hometown in Huoshan. What can they do to Nai Gong?"
After speaking, Lei Bo shouted loudly without waiting for Yuan Shu to speak:
"Those who are willing to go to Huoshan Luocao with Nai Gong will come out."
Immediately, hundreds of people appeared, almost all of them were children brought by Lei Bo from his hometown.
Lei Bo smiled boldly:
"Brothers and I have broken through so many dock walls, but we have never touched the palace gate of the Emperor of Han Dynasty. Today we will break through the palace gate, rescue old Situ, and achieve an unparalleled feat."
After saying that, Lei Bo took the lead and jumped outside the Suzaku Gate.
At this time, Xu You reminded:
"We can set fire to the palace gate directly, and we can also alert Yuan Ji and the others at the General's Mansion."
Lei Bo nodded and hurriedly found someone to find firewood and kerosene before setting fire to the palace gate and entering.
When the palace officials at Zhuque Gate saw the actions below, they also became confused.
At this moment, thunder sounded and a heavy rain suddenly came.
The rain directly chilled the hearts of Yuan Shu and others outside the palace gate. Then they heard shouts from inside the palace gate:
"The national thief Yuan Wei has been brought to justice. Only the first culprit will be punished, and the others will be ignored."
After saying one sentence, the head was thrown out of the Zhuque Gate and rolled all the way to Yuan Shu's feet in the rain.
Yuan Shu's whole body was trembling as if he was being electrocuted and he stepped away. He was obviously stunned, and then he looked at the head at his feet in disbelief.
That was his uncle, the Optimus Jade Pillar of their Yuan family, and he was dying here like this.
At this time, a voice came from the palace gate again:
"The Yuan family is exhausted. Not only has Yuan Wei's clan in the palace been wiped out, but the remaining members of the Yuan family have also been killed. Are you still not going to abandon your weapons and surrender?"
At this time, Xu You reacted. He pulled Yuan Shu's sleeve and exclaimed:
"It's terrible over there with Yuan Ji."
At this time, Yuan Shu was already confused and repeated:
"Yuan Ji is in trouble."
Xu You sighed, knowing that he could not count on Yuan Shu. He took a look at everyone's expressions and saw that they had no fighting spirit, and sighed:
"Let's go, let's leave the city immediately and leave the customs first."
After saying that, Xu You dragged Yuan Shu and headed east out of the city, while generals such as Ji Ling and Lei Bo also ordered the core troops to follow closely.
At this time, Yuan Shu came to his senses and suddenly asked:
"What should Yuan Ji and the others do?"
Xu You didn't even look back and shouted:
"They're finished."
…
In the general's residence, there was a lot of joy with the sounds of music, blessings, and banquets.
Yuan Ji, half helpless and half happy, pushed away a guest who came up to give blessings, arranged his new clothes again, and walked towards the bride wearing a phoenix crown and a new hat.
A smile appeared on Yuan Ji's face, and he suddenly stopped as he took a step.
A dagger was inserted into his waist from behind, and then another dagger was inserted into his stomach from the side.
Yuan Ji looked at the dagger on his belly in disbelief. He opened his mouth to shout, but was blocked by a strong hand.
Yuan Ji slowly fell down, and the vocal music in the lobby continued.
Yuan Yida and Yuan Renda, two unmarried boys, had been shyly looking at He's female family just now, but they found out angrily that they were separated by several savage guests, and they could no longer see Yuan Ji.
The two of them have good tempers, but they are also members of the public family. How can they tolerate others being so rude?
So, they stepped forward and pushed away the guests in front of them, but suddenly someone slashed their throats. The two brothers Yida and Renda covered their bleeding throats and shouted with all their strength:
"Killing people!"
Compared with Yuan Ji being surrounded, the two brothers Yida and Renda fell directly in front of the Yuan family.
Yan Liang, who had been serving as a guard, was shocked. He grabbed the table and threw it at the guests of the He family who were surrounding Yuan Ji. Then he stepped forward, grabbed Yuan Ji's belt and pulled him all the way back.
Behind the pillar.
At this time, Yuan Ji was still spitting out blood, dyeing his red clothes even brighter.
The two brothers Yida and Renda had just died. Yuan Yi was so shocked that he couldn't care about anything else. He pushed away a disciple who was about to approach, rushed out of the door, and shouted to the outside:
"He, kill me, quickly come in and protect me."
Except for Yuan Ji and the other core clansmen who came in to receive relatives, the guests and clan members of the Yuan family were all arranged outside the verandah of the General's Mansion. They were drinking and mingling with the guests of the He family.
Suddenly hearing Yuan Yi's shout, these people were obviously stunned for a while.
But the people of the He family were not stunned. They directly picked up the meat cleavers on the plate and started to move the knives in and out of the Yuan family members on the side. In the corridors on both sides, several groups of crossbowmen suddenly broke through the walls.
They continued to rain arrows at the Yuan clan members who were still stunned, and for a while, the people outside the corridor were wailing.
However, there were also some brave ones among the guests of the Yuan family. Even when they came out to pick up the bride, their inner linings were still pierced with armor. So even though there were still arrows hanging on their bodies, these people still bravely lifted up the desk to shield the tribesmen on the side from the rain of arrows.
While shielding themselves from the rain of arrows, they moved closer together to the front hall, apparently to support Yuan Yi and others in the hall.
Yuan Yi looked at the chaos outside, and suddenly saw a person slashing at him with a knife. He immediately shrunk and ran into the person's arms, then snatched the knife away and wiped the person's neck.
Yuan Yifei is an ordinary person, the best fighter of his generation. Why is Yuan Shu so qualified to be a knight? He just looks at his cousin's young appearance and imitates him.
In fact, Yuan Yi should have been able to escape this time because before departure, Yuan Ji asked him to call Yuan Shu to go to Zhuquemen to wait for his uncle. But Yuan Yi was worried about Yuan Ji. After informing Yuan Shu, he returned to the general.
Mansion.
This is where it hit.
Yuan Yi killed He's guest with a knife, leaving blood on his clothes, and prepared to go inside to support Yan Liang. Yan Liang was waving his desk around, and it was obvious that he could not hold on for long.
Just as he stepped in, he saw his brother Yuan Yin stabbed in the chest with a dagger and fell beside the door.
Seeing his brother's tragic death, Yuan Yi burst into tears and roared:
"You deserve to die!"
After saying that, he rushed towards the leader of the He family in the hall. His name was Zhu You, and he was He Miao's half-brother. The relationship between the old He family and the old Zhu family was too messy for ordinary people to figure it out.
When Zhu You saw Yuan Yi coming to kill him with a knife, he didn't resist and fled to the back screen.
However, Yuan Xu, who had been hiding behind the pillar, saw him and was directly kicked to the ground by this person.
Yuan Xu glanced at his brother Yuan Yi with a smile, and was about to punch Zhu You on the ground.
But at this moment, the screen behind was broken, and a group of soldiers rushed up with big axes.
Yuan Yi cried sadly:
"Save him a life!"
But he saw that the other party didn't even listen, and more than a dozen heavy axes struck Yuan Xu on his body, chopping this heroic young man into pieces.
Zhu You was lying on the ground, and was sprayed with semen from Yuan Xu's stomach. Regardless of his nausea, he rolled and crawled and hid behind the soldiers.
Then Zhu You became furious:
"Kill them all! Kill them all!"
Yan Liang now picked up the seriously injured Yuan Ji with one hand, carried the desk with the other, and kept retreating.
There were roars everywhere, and then he heard a familiar voice. When he turned around, he saw Yuan Yi surrounded by four or five soldiers. His legs were cut off, and then his head was chopped off with an axe.
Yan Liang sighed, grabbed Yuan Ji on his shoulders again, and rushed out of the house.
All members of the Yuan family are dead, but as long as Yuan Ji is still alive, the Yuan family cannot be defeated.
But Yan Liang's hope was quickly shattered. When he finally rushed out of the hall covered in blood, he saw corpses strewn everywhere. Under the pouring rain, more than two hundred guests of the Yuan family were thrown naked there.
The heavy rain washed away the stone surface with blood, and the whole world was crying.
Looking at the He family members who were watching eagerly outside, Yan Liang suddenly turned his head and saw Zhu You grabbing Pingyang Jun's hair with one hand and dragging him all the way out.
At this time, Pingyang Jun's gorgeous wedding dress was broken, and the makeup on her face was dirty. She cried:
"Father, why, why is all this happening?"
It turns out that she is Zhu You's daughter.
At this time, Zhu You had no mercy for his daughter. He threw Jun Pingyang to the ground and let the rain wash over his daughter.
He said coldly:
"Everything you have is given by the He family. You were supposed to be the queen, and I was supposed to be the head of the country. Originally, the marriage between my family, the He family, and the Liu family was meant to last for two generations, no, it was meant to last for eternity.
. But it’s all because of you!”
Zhu You was furious:
"It's all because you didn't observe Women's Day and actually had an affair with Yuan Ji. How selfish are you, just for yourself, leaving the He family that gave birth to you and raised you aside? How selfish are you, just because of my usual love?
Do you want to act recklessly? Don’t you know that your aunt has long promised a marriage to the Liu and He families? Don’t you know that once His Majesty finds out about your affair with Yuan Ji, our He family will be in doom?"
"You are so selfish!"
At this time, Pingyang Jun couldn't believe that her father, who usually loved and doted on her, would be so decisive. She was trembling all over, feeling that this day had simply fallen from supreme joy to an endless abyss.
Zhu You didn't intend to stop, he had too much to say:
"Fortunately, your sister is sensible. After knowing all this, she decided to take the initiative to enter the palace for you. When you compare with her, I am really disappointed."
Pingyang Jun's tears had dried up now, but her face was still full of rain. She knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu You, then suddenly rushed to the side, picked up a dagger on the ground, pointed it at herself, and begged:
"The daughter disappointed her father, but she begged her father to let Yuan Lang go. Otherwise, she would kill herself in front of her father, and let the world know what kind of family tradition my He family is like."
Zhu You went crazy with anger. He flew into a rage and roared under the verandah:
"How dare you, how dare you!"
He roared to the soldiers beside him:
"Kill, kill them all for me."
But after hearing this, these people were timid and did not dare to take action.
Because they knew that even though Pingyang Jun was Zhu You's daughter, she was also the niece of the general, and even more so loved by the empress dowager, they would never dare to take action.
So, these people only aimed their crossbow arrows at Yan Liang and Yuan Ji on his back, but they did not dare to take a step forward.
Seeing that the others did not dare to take action, Zhu You went crazy. He grabbed an ax and was about to step forward and kill Ni Nu with his own hands.
And over there, seeing his father being so heartless, Pingyang Jun laughed miserably and said crazily:
"Father, my body and skin are affected by my parents. Today I am going to have my hair cut off and my skin will be cut off. From now on, I will have nothing to do with the Zhu and He families."
After saying that, Pingyang Jun cut off his hair in front of everyone, then made several cuts on his face and cut open a piece of skin.
Zhu You, who had only taken a few steps, saw his daughter being so strong. He sat on the stone steps in despair and murmured:
"Daughter, that's not what I meant."
Then Pingyang Jun endured the severe pain, crawled to Yan Liang's feet, and said with a smile:
"Put Yuan Lang down and give him this bundle of hair. Yuan Lang likes my hair the most."
Yan Liang nodded. At this moment, he knew that he had no way out.
So he slowly placed Yuan Ji, who died of blood loss, in Lord Pingyang's arms, and then he also placed it on the ground, straightening his messy clothes again.
The descendants of Yan Zi may die, but their clothes must not be messed up.
Looking at the dead Yuan Ji, Pingyang Jun smiled, and then stabbed his heart with a dagger.
She glanced at her dumbfounded father for the last time, then lay on Yuan Ji and died.
Over there, when Yan Liang saw Yuan Ji and Lord Pingyuan dead together, Su Rong shouted to the stunned crossbowmen:
"What are you waiting for? Let's send Naigong on his way."
After saying this, Yan Liang laughed three times, and then died after being pierced by thousands of arrows.
In the end, Yan Liang's crown was really not crooked, and Yuan Ji and Ping Pingjun died together.
Only the majestic heavy rain continues to wash the world, but it cannot be washed away.
Really, in order to write this expansion pack, the data in the past few days has been crazy. But I don’t regret it, because without the preparation of the previous few days, this chapter would not be as vivid as the last chapter.
After finishing the writing, I feel that this is the best chapter I have written in this period of time, and I feel a sense of breakthrough. In fact, I have always thought that if the writing cannot please myself, how can I please you. So I have never
Putting my own aesthetic first is a shortcoming, but it is also my advantage. I have always used the words I write to show my sincerity and my sincerity to everyone. So I would like to trouble you all again and continue to support me!
