Li Zhen walked forward step by step. The pace was not fast, and could even be called very slow. However, every step Li Zhen took was like a strong man holding a drumstick and beating a war drum. Not only that, the dull The footsteps seemed to hit Yixuan's heart, making Yixuan's face turn pale and his body began to tremble with fear.
He saw the naked murderous intent in Li Zhen's eyes and knew that the person in front of him was not trying to scare him, but was serious about it. Yixuan no longer hesitated and ran out of the hall.
Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan did not stop him and allowed Yixuan to rush out.
Because, the outside of the main hall has been blocked by soldiers from the Sharp Knife Battalion.
Li Zhen, Long Ao and Huang Qiang walked out of the palace, Ci'an and Cixi also came out. Ci'an looked at Li Zhen's fierce expression, hurriedly took a few steps, stood beside Li Zhen, and said in a slightly pleading tone. : "Admiral Li, Yixuan is a descendant of the royal family, the eighth brother of the emperor, and the brother-in-law of Concubine Yi's sister. Although he is guilty, his crime is not worthy of death, so let him be spared once."
Ci'an still wanted to be a peacemaker and resolve the bloody disaster in front of him.
Cixi blinked and did not persuade.
The exposed ambitions of Yixuan in front of him and his unscrupulous words have endangered his son's succession to the throne. This has touched Cixi's bottom line. Anyone who threatens his son, let alone a brother-in-law with whom he has little connection, even if As sisters, Cixi could do it, but she didn't stop her.
Li Zhen stared at Yixuan who was surrounded, and said in a deep voice: "Empress, if I don't kill Yixuan today, I'm afraid I won't be able to scare Xiaoxiao if word spreads. As the saying goes, there is no circle without rules. Some people have to test the law with their own bodies. Weak ministers can only be round. fulfilled his wish."
Ci'an had a weak look on his face and stopped talking.
Yixuan was frightened in his heart and said loudly: "Li Zhen, you can't kill me, you can't kill me." He yelled hysterically, and the guards soldiers around him who were being aimed at with guns turned pale with fright. As a child of the royal family, the person in front of me was holding a sword and preparing to kill someone. It was too overbearing.
Li Zhen said coldly: "Yixuan, if you want to blame me, I blame you for being the first person. In the next life, you should learn to be a better person."
He picked up the long sword, rushed forward suddenly, and stabbed out with the sword.
"puff."
The long sword pierced into Yixuan's chest, then stirred hard, and then pulled out suddenly.
In an instant, warm red blood spurted out.
However, Yixuan felt extremely regretful in his heart. He felt the blood in his body flow out, and the vitality flowed with it. Soon, he felt that his eyes were completely dark, and his body fell to the ground with a bang, following Yixuan. The hundreds of soldiers who came were dumbfounded when they saw Yixuan being killed.
Yixuan is dead.
The royal family members died like this.
Li Zhen looked coldly at the trapped one hundred forbidden troops and the one hundred and eighty-banner disciples, and said coldly: "Execute them all on the spot." After the order was issued, Li Zhen took two steps back and allowed the soldiers to take action.
Continuous screams were heard, and a hundred soldiers composed of Eight Banners disciples were all killed. Ci'an, Cixi, Han Laiyu, Li Zhen and others returned to the palace. Ci'an's face became ugly and extremely pale. , she is just a young woman in her twenties now, just a woman who has never seen blood.
Now, suddenly seeing hundreds of people dying outside Chuxiu Palace, she was extremely horrified. Cixi was also frightened by the scene just now, but she remained calm.
Li Zhen said: "Two empresses, if you want the prince to ascend the throne safely, it must be a bloody road. If the princes and nobles in the court are not shocked, it will be difficult for the prince to ascend the throne. Except for those who are die-hardly loyal to the emperor, who wants to see it? When a baby of a few months comes to the throne, there are so many princes in the court, who wouldn't have other ideas. Yixuan is the leader and must be killed. Moreover, he is just the beginning, there will be countless others. If someone is killed, for the sake of the prince, I can do it if I am willing to bear infamy."
Cixi glanced at Li Zhen gratefully and said, "Admiral Li's words make sense, and I understand."
Ci'an nodded, still a little tired.
Cixi pondered for a while and then said: "Yixuan has been killed, and there is no one in charge of the nine admirals. Moreover, since Yixuan is dead, the imperial guards may be in chaos. What are Admiral Li's plans?"
Li Zhen asked: "Two ladies, do you know where the emperor's jade seal is?"
Cixi immediately said: "I know." Cixi was outstanding in talent and learning. When Xianfeng was here, Cixi often helped Xianfeng handle state affairs, so she knew the location of the jade seal.
Li Zhen said: "I would like to ask Concubine Yi to issue an edict to label Yixuan as a traitor. At the same time, let the humble minister temporarily act as the admiral of the nine gates. Only in this way can the situation in Beijing be stabilized. After the prince ascends the throne, I will call the admiral of the nine gates out, and then Return to Guangdong."
"good."
Cixi nodded without hesitation, looked at Han Laiyu, and said: "Eunuch Han, you are the emperor's confidant. You understand these things. You should immediately prepare an imperial edict and let Admiral Li take over the nine admiral yamen. Anyone who disobeys orders will be punished." Cut first and then play."
"The slave obeys the order."
Han Laiyu turned around and left, immediately getting ready.
Li Zhen saluted, came outside the palace and ordered the soldiers to cut off Yixuan's head. As for the rest of the ordinary soldiers who were killed, all were dealt with. Li Zhen looked at Huang Qiang and Long Ao and said seriously: "Brother Long, Huang Qiang, take over." What happened is extraordinary. Whether we can gain a firm foothold in Beijing depends on whether we can master the nine admiral's offices."
Huang Qiang said: "Don't worry, Commander, the soldiers in Jiandao Camp are all strong men."
Long Ao said: "A bunch of chickens and dogs are nothing to be afraid of."
The two of them were full of confidence and looked excited. Although they were facing danger, they were even more excited. Not long after, Han Laiyu came with a new imperial edict. It was the appointment of Li Zhen as the admiral of the Nine Sects, and about Yixuan. Conviction of rebellion. At this moment, Li Zhen had three imperial edicts in his hands. One was to appoint Li Zhen as the auxiliary minister, the other was to appoint Li Zhen as the admiral of the Nine Sects, and the other was to convict Yixuan.
The group of people left and went straight to the Jiumen Admiral's Office.
The Nine-Gate Admiral's Office is located inside Chongwen Gate. Li Zhen led his soldiers to rush to the Nine-Gate Admiral's Office. They were so aggressive that the soldiers stationed at the gate tried to stop them.
However, Long Ao held the imperial edict high and said loudly: "Everyone who is doing this is to get out of my way."
The soldiers stationed there did not dare to stop them and had no choice but to let Li Zhen and others enter.
Li Zhen asked the soldiers to station outside the hall, while he took Long Ao, Han Laiyu and others into the Yamen hall. Li Zhen strode to the top of the hall and sat down, and the Shang Fang sword in his hand fell on the table with a snap.
Immediately, Li Zhenliang showed the imperial edict in his hand and said loudly: "My name is Li Zhen, and I am the new nine-men admiral appointed by the emperor. I will pass on my order to summon the left-wing general soldiers, the right-wing general soldiers, and the Eight Banners stationed in the inner city. The left-wing lieutenant and right-wing lieutenant of the infantry battalion sent orders at the same time to summon the five patrol battalions stationed outside the city and ask all the soldiers to rush back to the city and stand by."
The soldiers from the Yamen were about to pass on the order, but they heard a loud shout: "Wait a minute."
With a loud shout, the soldier who was delivering the message immediately stopped.
Li Zhenxun looked up and saw a thin middle-aged man walking in. Behind this middle-aged man, there were a series of officials, including third-grade officials, fourth-grade officials, and other officials, all of whom were officials of the Nine Admiral Yamen.
