The rain is getting heavier and heavier. It should not have rained so heavily in March. The rain in March should have been as fine as cow hair and as thin as hair, but now it is gradually becoming torrential.
Li Yuanhao was crawling on the grass covered in mud and water. There were dirt and grass stems between his fingernails, and his delicate skin was stained with blood.
"Save me, save me! Ximu Weiming, why don't you come to save me soon!" Li Yuanhao howled, and in the rain curtain, what he saw was the cold face of Ximu Weiming, the guard of the Ninth Army.
"Wutongshi, quickly bring someone to rescue me!" Li Yuanhao turned to a group of servants, who all turned away in panic.
"My dear concubine, beauty, come and save me!" Li Yuanhao hoarse, and even begged the concubines. But the concubines and maids looked at him with sarcasm and pleasure on their faces, gloating about his misfortune, as if they were watching something.
A mangy dog that fell into the water.[
Li Yuanhao was desperate. All of this was a planned situation. No one present would save him. The only one who could save him was the illusory gods.
Li Yuanhao couldn't crawl anymore, and the footsteps of chasing souls behind him echoed slowly in his ears, neither fast nor slow; he turned his head and lay on the ground to catch his breath. The cold rain hit his face, making his eyes wide open.
Opening it, what he saw dimly was the prince's bloodshot eyes and the dagger pointed at his front.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my father has promised to pass the throne to you. You must not do anything stupid. How could you do anything like regicide and your father's death? Don't worry, my father doesn't blame you. There must be someone behind you who instigates you. Father
The emperor will never blame you. You are a kind child when you urinate. The emperor’s favorite is you..."
"Shut up!" Brother Li Ning shouted coldly, holding the dagger forward three points.
"Don't do anything, Your Majesty, I am your biological father. If you do this, you will be punished by heaven."
"God's punishment? Hahahaha." Brother Li Ningling laughed loudly, pointed a dagger at Li Yuanhao's nose and said: "You also know that we are father and son? Do you also know the word God's punishment? If you really care about the so-called blood relationship, then I will only
Let me ask you, how did your mother, Wei Mu, die? How did your uncle, Wei Mushanxi, die?"
Li Yuanhao waved his hand and said: "They... they all died of illness..."
"Shut up, everyone in the world knows that you poisoned your biological mother and killed your uncle with your own hands, and you still have the nerve to mention family ties; since you care so much about family ties, how could you take your daughter-in-law and make her your concubine?
I... made me suffer all this humiliation. You are a beast. Over the years, you have made so many people hate you. You should have been cut into pieces long ago. It is your fate to be alive today."
Li Yuanhao looked at the dagger that was a few inches closer and shouted in horror: "How could you kill your father for a woman? My father promises you that he will choose for you the most beautiful woman in the world as your concubine, a princess of the Liao Kingdom, a royal family member of the Song Dynasty, or...
She is the Princess of Tubo. It is up to you to choose. As long as you like it, my father... my father will definitely make it up to you..."
Li Ning Lingge laughed up to the sky, showing two rows of white teeth, and said angrily: "Do you think I am just doing it for a woman? I am doing it for my dignity. You put the dignity of the world on the ground and trample on it, treating it with contempt.
Treating others like objects and treating them like pigs and dogs is the most damning place for you. Although "prostitute" wives and daughters are hateful, what is even more hateful is that you insist on doing this beastly behavior in front of everyone, and you still criticize and talk about it afterwards.
You are shameless, but not all people in the world are as shameless as you; I killed you to eliminate harm for my subjects in Daxia, and you brought the blame on yourself."
Li Yuanhao cursed angrily: "You traitor, what are you talking about? You just want to kill your father and seize the throne. I tell you, you will never get the throne even if you kill me. I have issued a secret edict to the prime minister. Once I die, you will not be able to ascend the throne." The one who takes the throne is Liang Zuo, you can't even think of succeeding."
Li Ning Lingge said with a cruel smile: "Then I'll kill Liang Zuo, the fox who didn't hide, and the traitor who didn't hide Pang. What's the harm?"
Li Yuanhao said: "It's easy for you to say, all the troops and horses in Beijing are in the hands of the Prime Minister, you..."
Brother Li Ning took a step forward, stepped on Li Yuanhao's chest and sneered: "Why are you talking so much? Even if you have a lotus tongue, you will not escape death today. How do you want to die?"
Li Yuanhao struggled hard, but his hands and feet were so weak that he was like a tortoise whose shell had been stepped on, and he was moving his hands and feet in vain.
"By the way, you like cutting people's noses and seducing people's tongues the most, so I will send you to the underworld in your favorite way. It can be regarded as doing one of your favorite things. Don't blame me for being vicious. As you said, I am your son, with your blood flowing through my body, how can you not like the son you like?"
Brother Li Ning's tone turned cold, his eyes shot out a fierce light, he clenched his teeth and bent down and waved his hand, a cold light flashed, a stream of blood spurted out, and with a click, Li Yuanhao's tall nose was cut off , drew a strange arc and landed on the grass.
Li Yuanhao screamed in horror. He felt a cold feeling on his nose first and then a sharp pain. Blood suddenly covered his face. He had no idea how strong he was and he used all his strength to lift Li Ningling's foot off him. Li Ningling was knocked off his feet by him. He staggered a few steps and fell down in the muddy water.
"Nose, my nose!" Li Yuanhao shouted in panic, got up and "touched" with his hands, "touching" the fallen nose in his hands, ignoring the mud and grass stems above, and hurriedly "touched" He pressed it on his broken nose, and in a panic, it stuck to the point where his nostrils were pointing upwards. It looked both ridiculous and extremely terrifying.[
Brother Li Ning laughed and climbed up from the muddy water, shouting loudly: "Father, this knife is given to you for me. Next, I will take the place of the old queen, my two uncles, my mother, and the court." The minister who was insulted by you will cut you off on behalf of the people of the world. First his nose, then his tongue, eyes, ears, hands and feet. Don't worry, your son will serve you obediently and make you feel comfortable. Of…hahaha.”
Brother Li Ning's shrill laughter penetrated the rain curtain and made the drums pierce the ears; all the soldiers, guards, concubines and maidens in the back garden looked at the cruel scene of the son killing his father in horror, and they were all filled with fear.
Li Yuanhao was filled with fear, severe pain at the end of his nose, and blood flowing like water. Suddenly, his body froze, and he fell motionless in the muddy water.
Brother Li Ning rushed forward and shouted: "Get up, roll up, can you escape by pretending to be dead? There are still many knives that have not been cut."
Li Yuanhao remained motionless, his eyes closed tightly, and his face gradually turned purple.
"Get up, get up." Brother Li Ning stretched out his feet and kicked wildly, kicking Li Yuanhao's head, face, chest, ribs, and lower body indiscriminately. He made loud noises and continued to curse and roar; Li Yuanhao lay on the ground. At every turn, his hands and feet have convulsed into chicken claws.
Ximu Weiming stepped forward quickly, stretched out her hand to feel Li Yuanhao's breath, raised her hands and said to Li Ningling, "Your Highness, the emperor has already passed away."
Brother Li Ning was stunned and shouted: "No, tell him to get up, I haven't killed him enough yet." After saying that, he swung the dagger and stabbed Li Yuanhao randomly, causing blood to spatter and stains all over the ground.
Ximu Weiming quickly grabbed Li Ning and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. The Emperor is dead. Now we must quickly control the situation. This is the top priority."
Brother Li Ningling seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He sat down on the ground and murmured: "He is dead, he is really dead."
"Yes, the emperor has passed away."
"What now?"
"I will escort the Crown Prince to Tianyi Palace immediately. The Queen has her own arrangements."
Brother Li Ningling pointed at Li Yuanhao's body and said, "Then... what should he do?"
Ximu Weiming thought for a while and turned around and shouted: "The deputy general Mu Liufeng followed the order and led a hundred brothers to guard the rear garden. No one here was allowed to go out. The emperor's body was collected and cleaned, but anyone who came in or out without permission would be killed."
"
A general raised his hand and said: "As you command!"
Ximu Weiming turned around and said: "Eunuch Wu, take His Highness the Crown Prince to change into clean clothes. We will go to Tianyi Palace immediately."
Only then did Eunuch Wu come back to his senses. He looked at Li Yuanhao's body on the ground in horror, and he led two servants to help Li Ningling, who was still full of strength, into the back garden pavilion.
…
The sky is getting darker, but the rain has not stopped yet.
There was a suffocating atmosphere in the inner hall of Tianyi Palace. Yeli Dulan sat in front of a Buddha statue with his eyes closed and twirled his beads, praying silently not to cause trouble.
"Queen Qi, General Ximu Weiming escorted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come for an audience." The palace maid hurriedly came to report. Yeli Dulan's eyes suddenly opened, and the Buddhist beads in his hand suddenly scattered, crackling and rolling all over the ground.
[
"Tell them to come in." Yeli Dulan stood up and curled up her temples and said quietly.
After a while, Ximu Weiming and Eunuch Wu quickly walked into the curtain, holding Li Ningling's brother on both sides. As soon as Li Ningling saw Yeli Dulan, he immediately stumbled forward and threw himself into Yeli Dulan's arms.
, hugging Yeli Dulan tightly, sobbing: "Mother, my son... I have killed him."
Yeli Dulan took a long breath and comforted him in a low voice: "Well done, my son is brave. Don't go back to the Prince's Mansion and live in Tianyi Palace. The rest will be done for your mother."
deal with."
Ximu Weiming stepped forward and said, "Please tell me, the Queen, what should we do now?"
Yeli Dulan stepped forward slowly, looked at Ximu's resolute face with bright eyes, and said softly: "Thank you so much, General Ximu, for your help. After this incident, my mother and son will be very grateful."
Ximu Weiming was a little out of breath and said in a hoarse voice: "How dare I say thank you, but my wife has ordered that I, Ximu Weiming, will be shattered to pieces without any hesitation."
Yeli Dulan smiled slightly, his face suddenly turned cold, and he said word by word: "General Ximu immediately took people to Mingyang Palace to kill Wu Zang Heiyun and others who had made friends with him.
All the concubines were killed, and no one was left alive among the palace maids and chamberlains. Eunuch Wu took the palace's handwriting and went to the palace gate to inform General Buluo, ordering him to seal the palace. No one was allowed to enter or leave. Foreign ministers were prohibited from entering. If there were any intruders, they would immediately take it.
Exit; Eunuch Wu personally left the palace, went to Dongcheng Yeli Fur Store to meet Mr. Su, and took him into the palace immediately."
