Chapter 224 Killing Gao Zhan, Fenghuang's anger
Fenghuang approached Gao Wei, his expression became very cold and resentful.
“Have you ever seen a war? Have you seen when enemy soldiers and horses entered the city, many people were trampled under the hooves of the horses. They screamed for mercy, their heads were crushed, and some women held their babies in their arms. Did you know that the infant was pierced through the chest with a sword, and the infant was trampled into mud by the roaring soldiers and horses? "
"Do you know that the soldiers were deprived of food for a whole month and could only chew tree bark? , eat bugs, and fight bloody battles with the enemy on an hungry stomach, how do you feel?”
“You also know that the people can’t afford to pay taxes, so they can only kill newborn babies? In times of famine, when there is no corn to satisfy hunger, what is the miserable situation of having to trade grains for food? ”
"You sit in the world, but do you know the sufferings of the people in the world?"
"When the soldiers guarded the territory of Daqi, the farmers who were already weak from hunger were dragged by you to build the so-called gorgeous palaces. , what are you doing, playing with your concubines all day long! How are you plotting with this gang of treacherous villains to deprive the soldiers of their wages, and how to frame and kill those heroes who have built the country for your Gao family? "< br>
Phoenix’s questioning voice was colder and grittier than the last.
After a pause, he raised his voice and asked again: "Are you worthy of being the emperor?"
Several palace maids in Zhaoyang Palace screamed in fright, especially Mu Xie Li, still staring blankly at Mutipo who was lying on the ground with wide eyes and shivering, just wanted to find a place to hide where no one could see her.
Zu Jue and He Hongzhen did not dare to speak out and hid aside, hoping not to be noticed by this hellish Shura boy.
At this time, I heard him say coldly and disdainfully: "Since you can't be the emperor, then abdicate and let someone else do it!"
"Get a pen and paper. Come on, write quickly!”
When Mu Xieli saw this, he wanted to take the opportunity to escape from Zhaoyang Palace and ask for help. But at this moment, Phoenix turned around and picked her up and threw her in front of Gao Wei. He drew his sword and pierced the woman's chest.
Gao Wei screamed even more horribly in fear.
"I didn't want to kill the woman, but this woman is really hateful. If she hadn't whispered in your ear, joined forces with Mutipo and the two of them, encouraged you to indulge in sexual pleasure, embezzled food and wages, disregarded the life and death of the soldiers, and even framed Zhongliang, I would have been dead. There wouldn’t be so many people dying innocently!”
“Hurry up and write!”
Fenghuang shouted again and placed the pen and paper in front of Gao Wei.
"What to write? How to write it? Who is the biography located in?"
Gao Wei shivered, looking at Mu Xieli's wide-eyed corpse and sobbing faintly.
"It is said that the king of Lanling is Gao Changgong!" Fenghuang answered decisively.
Gao Changgong's expression changed slightly, and just as he was about to say something, a burst of applause suddenly came from the hall.
“That’s great! You have indeed made it this far!”
This familiar voice!
Xiao Jinyu and Gao Changgong looked around and saw Gao Zhan walking out from the back hall.
"Father, save me! Father, please save me!" Gao Wei immediately looked at Gao Zhan and shouted.
After four years of not seeing each other, Gao Zhan turned out to be as skinny as a decrepit old man. A moment ago, his expression was a little dazed, but the next moment he saw Xiao Jinyu, he immediately seemed to be in high spirits. He was generally energetic and stared at Xiao Jinyu with particularly bright eyes.
"Xie Qing, you are finally willing to come back. I seem to be dreaming like this every day, meeting you like this every day? But dreams are still dreams after all, and they are far less real than today. ..."
As he said that, he looked at Gao Changgong again and laughed.
"Everyone says that anyone can rebel, but you, Prince of Lanling, Gao Changgong, will never do it. Even your mother said that you are loyal and honest. You only know how to march and fight and don't understand state affairs. But who can Come to think of it, you were the one who rebelled and wanted to be the emperor in the end?”
"So, Chang Gong, you have come this far for her, right?"
Gao Zhan said, looking at Xiao Jinyu and laughing crazily again.
No matter who it is, it can be seen that he is in a very bad mental state at this moment. They all say that he was addicted to drinking and sex in the past few years when he was the emperor, and ignored everything, allowing the Queen Mother Hu to control him. The young emperor controlled the government, appointed villains, and acted recklessly.
Looking at him now, it is obvious that his body has been hollowed out and he is about to run out of fuel.
“The one who wants to rebel is not them, but me, Murong Jue!”
Phoenix stood in front of them and looked directly at Gao Zhan with sharp eyes.
Gao Zhan then turned his attention to him.
"Murong Jue? Oh, I remembered that the young man who had followed Chang Gong in the Battle of Mangshan was the grandson of the famous general Murong Shaozong, right? I also made you a warrior. General Yi! "
"Now that I have grown up, I have become as handsome as your ancestor Murong Chong. This is really the style of your Xianbei Murong clan!"
< br>"Hahaha... You said you wanted to rebel, but you want my son to be Zen in Prince Lanling instead of yourself?"
"Do you want the two of them to be separated from this mutiny? Do you think it is possible?"
When Gao Zhan said this, he showed a cold ridicule.
Fenghuang thought for a moment, and then heard him ask: "How did you do it? From the time the two of them entered Yecheng to the time they entered the palace, it only took half a day, and you were able to take them with you. Thousands of soldiers and horses broke through the major gates of Yenan City, and came to the Zhaoyang Palace, and they were able to stop the major families in Ye City and the garrison in the capital.
I am very curious. How did you do it?"
Fenghuang replied: "It has nothing to do with them. I was planning all this alone. I knew it as early as the day the Empress Dowager passed away. The imperial court will once again find an opportunity to deal with King Lanling and Princess Lanling, so it has already begun to make plans in Yecheng. You were afraid that your two sons, Gao Wei and Gao Yan, would kill each other, so you gave Gao Yan the capital of the capital. He held the position of governor and leader of the army, and asked his servant Feng Zicong to assist him, so that he could protect himself well
But your third son is also ambitious. He also wants to be the emperor, so I took advantage of him and controlled Feng Zicong, the servant, and encouraged him to usurp the throne and rebel.
So Langya King Gao Yan is very cooperative now We will only hold the garrison in Gyeonggi Province stationary!
As for Kudifulian who is stationed at Qianqiu Gate, he is loyal and the most courageous among the forbidden troops in Ye City, so I only need to defeat him and behead him. Then the rest of the Forbidden Army can be quickly dispersed. "
Speaking of this, Phoenix kicked one of the heads randomly placed on the ground in front of Gao Zhan.
This head is Kudivolen!< br>
Gao Zhan's expression changed, he couldn't believe it!
"Cudivolen had three thousand warriors under his command. How did you take his head?"
"It's very simple, just one arrow!"
Phoenix As he spoke, he measured the bow and arrows in his hands. The crossbow looked extremely heavy. It should weigh three stones at least?
“Your archery skills can actually reach the level of taking the head of a general among three thousand soldiers?”
Gao Zhan was naturally shocked, and then he looked at this handsome-looking young man with murderous aura in fear.
“Would you like to try it too?”
Phoenix raised the bow and prepared to pull the string and release an arrow.
“Phoenix!”
Xiao Jinyu called him and he stopped what he was doing.
Gao Zhan laughed again when he saw this situation. He looked at Xiao Jinyu and Gao Changgong.
"Very good, do you think it is easy for me to sit in this position? Why do I promote villains like He Shikai and Lu Lingxuan?
Because there is always hanging on my head With a sword, both nobles and noble families want to control me. They compete with each other for their own interests. Some want to destroy me, and some even want to assassinate me.
If I had not used these villains to fight with them, I would have been attacked and killed by them!
Why do you think my second brother Emperor Wenxuan killed people so madly? It was not because of his lack of consciousness. Clean and kill,
On the contrary, he knew very well who he was killing!
Those are the people who are dissatisfied with him and want to challenge the imperial power and oppose him! "
"Everyone wants to be the emperor, but they don't know that this position is extremely dangerous, so dangerous that it makes people go crazy! "
"Yes, I am crazy! Sick! And now you are terminally ill, but do you really want this position? ”
After saying this, he looked at Gao Changgong and then at Xiao Jinyu.
Gao Changgong had a look of astonishment on his face, and seemed to be a little sad, looking at Gao Zhan who no longer looked like a human being or a ghost.
Xiao Jinyu looked at him calmly.
"Xie Qing, I have done some wrong things, but the only person I have ever treated sincerely is you. Yes, the death of your mother Xiao Luan is also related to me, but I sent the imperial army in the first place I actually wanted to find her because I wanted to entrust her with a heavy responsibility just like my second brother. I didn’t expect that she would commit suicide!”
“Your mother is indeed a kind-hearted doctor, even if my second brother is like that. , she will still treat him without hesitation as a doctor, even if in the end, even she herself is injured!"
"So, Xie Qing, as a doctor, you will be like you! Like a mother, do you want to treat this patient like me?" After Gao Zhan finished speaking, he suddenly coughed and covered his mouth with his hands. The next moment, he saw that his hands were full of vomited blood.
Gao Changgong couldn't help but take a step forward.
Xiao Jinyu grabbed him and stepped forward.
"As a doctor, I should indeed treat every patient, no matter who you are..."
Xiao Jinyu said, Gao Zhan suddenly raised his head, with a look of joy in his eyes.
"But..."
Xiao Jinyu had just changed the subject, but before he could think of the next moment, an arrow whizzed past his ear and was inserted directly into Gao Zhan's head. on the chest.
Xiao Jinyu suddenly turned around and looked at Phoenix.
Gao Changgong also looked at him in shock.
Gao Zhan was even more in disbelief, staring intently at Murong Jue who was still holding the string.
Gao Wei once again let out a scream that was not like a human voice!
“You dare to really kill me, aren’t you afraid of being charged with regicide?”
Fenghuang didn’t take it seriously and only said: “I, Murong Jue, am responsible for launching this mutiny today. I am not afraid of death if I do it alone, but it is worth killing one or two stupid kings before I die! What do you think?"
After saying that, Phoenix also smiled brightly.
"What a bold young man!" Gao Zhan sighed and looked at Gao Changgong, "Even if you really get the throne, can you control those nobles? Just like this Xianbei Murong clan... …Hahahaha…”
After laughing crazily for a while, Gao Zhan vomited out large mouthfuls of blood. He finally glanced at Xiao Jinyu with complicated eyes, as if he was unwilling to give up, and finally languished helplessly.
Xiao Jinyu and Gao Changgong were stunned for a moment. Phoenix's move completely exceeded their expectations!
After dealing with Gao Zhan, Fenghuang no longer wasted time, turned around and walked in front of Gao Wei, pointing an arrow at him!
"You are next, have you thought about it?"
Gao Wei was shaking all over, he couldn't even hold his pen steady, and he didn't dare to look at the white-robed boy again. One glance!
There is no monarch or minister in this kid's heart. He is a devil who kills whoever he wants without any hesitation!
"Phoenix!" Xiao Jinyu called out again.
Phoenix looked at her and saw her expression was solemn and cold.
"That's it. Go quickly, take your people, and leave immediately!"
She shouted sharply, and even drew her sword and pointed it at him!
Phoenix still didn't move, Xiao Jinyu took one step forward again, and the sword pierced his chest!
“Let’s go!”
Fenghuang still didn’t move, but there was a trace of sadness and pain in the eyes looking at Xiao Jinyu, like broken glass.
At this time, one of Fenghuang's subordinates rushed forward and said:
"You woman, you are so cruel. All this our young master has done is for You, for you, he wooed the nobles in Jinyang, suppressed those who refused with force, and promoted your good name. Every time the Turkic soldiers attacked, he took the initiative to invite you, and took the lead in charging into the battle. Every time he earned a military merit, every promotion Level 1, will tell me, is he one step closer to you, can he protect you when those people in the Gao family bully you?
Even if he led troops into the imperial city this time, he was prepared to die. He knew that you and King Lanling could not really raise an army to rebel, so he thought that he would rather bear the name of rebel to pave the way for you..."
“Shut up! "
Fenghuang shouted sharply, and the general stopped talking, but his eyes were full of unwillingness.
"Brother Qing, you can kill me, but you have to wait until I clean up After all obstacles and hidden dangers are eliminated, you can kill me again in the name of being a rebel, okay? "
"I have no regrets! ”
Xiao Jinyu felt a dull pain in her heart. She didn't know that the worries hidden in Fenghuang's heart were so heavy that she couldn't repay them!
Gao Changgong couldn't help but change his expression.
He said: "Murong Jue, the matter has not reached this stage yet, Ayu is here to save you!"
Fenghuang was stunned, and there was even more pain in his eyes.
Xiao Jinyu also said: "Phoenix, remember, you are here to save me. No matter who asks, you must answer this way!"
After saying that, she pulled out her sword and came to Zu Jue and He Hongzhen.
He Hongzhen was so frightened that he did not dare to move, but Zu Jue yelled flatteringly.
"Princess Lanling, I have always stood by you and Prince Lanling. His Majesty wants to kill you, and I even begged for mercy for you. You can't kill me to silence me!"
Xiao Jinyu remained motionless, holding the bloody sword and looking at him silently.
Suddenly, she smiled and said: "In the opinion of the ancestral minister, how should we explain to the ministers what happened just now?"
...
An hour later, all the civil and military officials in Yecheng rushed to the Zhaoyang Palace. Headed by Zhao Yanshen, many officials from aristocratic families who were serving in the court came here.
Li Mi and Cui Heng also stood among the officials.
Seeing the Supreme Emperor Gao Zhan sitting on the dragon chair in the palace with an arrow stuck in his chest, all the officials exclaimed.
"Who killed the Supreme Emperor?" someone asked sharply.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the people in the palace: Princess Xiao Jinyu of Lanling who was taking Gao Zhan's pulse, Prince Gao Changgong of Lanling who was waiting anxiously, a handsome young man with an old face who was stabbed in the chest by a sword, and a white robe stained with blood. Zu Jue was crying with tears, several trembling palace maids and chamberlains, and the imperial guards standing upright in various parts of the palace.
And the three corpses lying on the ground: Mu Dipo, Mu Xieli, and He Hongzhen!
Seeing the "private guards" standing around the palace gates with eager eyes, these civil servants were actually a little panicked.
At this time, I heard Zu Jue crying loudly: "My colleagues, you are finally here. You came just in time, you came just in time. I was really scared to death just now, so scared to death!"
"Zu Shangshu, what happened?" Zhao Yanshen asked.
Zu Jue then cried: "Your Majesty is crazy. Your Majesty's illness has become more and more serious recently. He suddenly became very interested today. Not only did he want to play the game of siege, he also wanted to play the game of forcing the palace. He asked someone to dress up as the Supreme Emperor. He wanted to He wanted to force his father to abdicate, so he ordered people to shoot arrows at the Supreme Emperor, but he didn't expect that the Supreme Emperor was coming. He was a little confused and mistook the real thing for a fake one. He picked up the arrow and shot the Supreme Emperor! "
"The Supreme Emperor died, and His Majesty woke up again. He was extremely frightened and wanted to kill everyone in the palace. He also asked Liu Taozhi to kill Zuo Xiang, and also let Prince Lanling and his wife enter the palace, trying to The crime of killing the Supreme Emperor was put on them, and by the way, Mutipo led the imperial army to rebel. He was afraid that Your Majesty would go crazy and kill him too, so he rebelled with his sister, Mrs. Hongde, to murder Your Majesty! "
< br>"It was the Murong family's young man who came to the rescue. He not only killed the rebel Mutipo, but also saved His Majesty and us!"
"There is also He Shishu, who came to save Your Majesty. He died while blocking an arrow, his loyalty is commendable, he is a role model for us!"
"He Shishu! You died so miserably!"
Zu Jue cried loudly, picked up He Hongzhen's body, and burst into tears. It didn't seem to be fake at all.
Everyone's eyes turned to the palace maids and the emperor Gao Wei, but they saw that the palace maids and chamberlains were all trembling.
“Is that so?” Zhao Yanshen asked.
“Yes, yes!” The palace maids and chamberlains all answered.
But Gao Wei looked at everyone blankly, while retreating, he said nonsense: "Don't kill me! I am not a foolish king! I am not a foolish king!"
"I didn't want to kill the left prime minister, but Mu Depo and Mu Xieli kept telling me that he was suspected of treason!"
"I didn't want to kill my father, but he was too partial to his third brother. He wanted to dethrone me and make his third brother the prince. Didn’t he give him such great military power to allow him to rebel?”
“I’m afraid!”
"And King Lanling...hehehe, I want to kill him. Who gave him such a good reputation? What will happen if I touch his woman?"
"This Doesn’t the world belong to me? Hahaha..."
After hearing this crazy talk, all the officials bowed their heads, their faces turned ashen!
