Chapter 2303 Light Gate Lintel 103
Seeing that the hostages were being used as shields and the defense was about to be breached, the emperor gave the order: "Kill!"
The emperor's face was cold, showing the king's ruthlessness: "Rebellious officials and traitors will be killed without mercy! Those who sacrifice their lives for me, I will reward their families generously."
Don't mind if you don't dare to take action because it's my son, just feel free to cut it boldly. As for his own people who were hacked to death, his family would definitely be honored.
As soon as they heard this, the guards with swords began to slash and kill with all their strength. Some even killed the officials and imperial officials who were acting as shields in front of them with their swords.
Xi Ning, who was hiding under the table, was frightened to see this. Could this be because he usually had a grudge and took advantage of this opportunity?
The big melon hasn't been finished yet, something is wrong. Some rebels began to target the concubines. The queen was within the circle of guards, but several other concubines could attack.
"No, help~" Concubine Xian was caught first, screaming and struggling, but her strength could not withstand it. Even if the palace maid and protector beside her stood in front of her, she was hacked to death by the rebels with a few swords, and her blood spattered on the embroidered concubine's palace dress.
Zhao Kang, who was lying under the table, saw Xining emerge from under the table, sit on the ground, and take off the three sachets from his waist.
He also reached out to Guo Siyuan: "Hey, it's yours!"
Guo Siyuan untied the sachet from his waist and threw it to Xining, who poured the powder in the four sachets together.
What is this for? Before he could ask, rebels rushed over with knives in hand. There is a prince here, and a prince must be more useful than a concubine.
As soon as the red-eyed rebel rushed to the table, a burst of white smoke fell on his face. He paused and then fell limply.
The white smoke was really powder sprinkled from Xining's hand, followed closely by a rebel. She quickly grabbed a handful from the sachet and threw it towards the opponent's face, and the guy also fainted.
You are not allowed to bring weapons to the banquet. All the weapons of the generals are taken away before entering the palace, and poison and poison powder are naturally not allowed to be brought in.
Before entering the palace, the investigators specifically checked Xi Ning and picked up the three sachets one by one and sniffed them.
But the powder in the sachet can only make people faint if they are put together, and the most important thing is always placed on Guo Siyuan's side.
Judging from the age and dress of this little girl, she was the legendary little miracle doctor. Looking at the two people lying on the ground with unknown life and death, the other rebels did not dare to move forward.
Xining walked over, bent down and picked up the rebel knives on the ground, and threw them one by one in front of Zhao Kang and Guo Siyuan.
The two of them understood, picked up the knife, climbed out from under the table, leaned side by side, and retreated to a pillar, while Xining hid behind them.
After a while, Xining frowned and said to the people next to him: "Hey, let's spread out. If we get together, we're not looking for death."
Unknowingly, seven or eight civil servants gathered on the left and right, all wearing purple and red official uniforms.
A man in red official uniform said flatteringly: "Little miracle doctor, it's better to be safe by your side. Just let me hide. I will definitely not treat you badly afterwards."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The other officials nodded fiercely.
Xining blinked: "Shouldn't we be with our respective masters now?"
Don't you see it? It was King Duan's people, and they all ran to the back to watch the fun. King Duan's people would not kill them, so they just waited for King Duan's rebellion to succeed, and immediately knelt down and shouted long live. If you are the second prince or a pure minister of the emperor, you should go next to the emperor and the second prince. Go quickly!
A trembling old minister in purple clothes with a gray beard, who was supported by other officials, said: "How can we rush over if we accidentally bind the chicken with our hands?"
It's not that I don't want to go, but it's because the front is so busy, with swords and swords flashing, that I can't get through at all. If you hide behind, it is tantamount to colluding with those who support King Duan. If the rebels are suppressed, they will be beheaded together. So I was stuck in the middle, unable to go up or down. Another one came to kill him. Xi Ning sprinkled a handful of powder on him, and the other person immediately covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves. Zhao Kang and Guo Siyuan took the opportunity to slash at him with their swords, directly hacking him to death. It was so cruel.
"There are too many people, attracting attention." Xining frowned.
Several ministers looked at each other and found that it was indeed the safest place. Suddenly you say something and I say something:
"Little miraculous doctor, Xuan Humen will not leave you alone, just do your best. Afterwards, I came to the door with a generous gift to express my thanks."
"Yes, I will definitely come to the table and ask the Holy One to seal you."
"From now on, I will set up a longevity tablet hanging over the Humen in the ancestral hall of the mansion, and enjoy incense and worship together with my ancestors."
What and what? It's not as affordable as ten thousand taels of silver per person. Xining was angry and funny, so he simply said more generously: "My lords, please be polite. Now is not the time to say this. At this time, everyone should stay together through thick and thin. I just hope that in the future, we will not forget today's danger."
So everyone nodded, saying that they would never forget today's kindness. It would be better to die against a pillar for admonishment, or to be killed for angering rebels, that is to throw one's head and blood for the king, rather than to be hacked to death in the chaos, and there is no chance to show one's loyalty and courage, and leave one's name in history.
Zhao Kang in front killed two more people, turned around and shouted: "We can't stop him!" Stop talking and think of a way.
"Go back." Everyone slowly retreated to the wall.
When they reached the wall, several more officials came over, and there was also a lady who was pulling him so scared that she couldn't walk. Those who were skilled in martial arts and Zhao Kang resisted in front, while those who were not skilled in martial arts also picked up the knife on the ground, holding it with both hands and trembling to block it, which could be regarded as emboldening themselves.
As they fell one after another, the whole hall was filled with corpses. Even outside this small circle, there were more than a dozen lying down.
After finishing spreading the powder, Xining turned his head and looked at the situation on the high platform. It should be almost over. The situation became clearer and clearer. The palace door was closed tightly. Even if there were troops outside the palace, they would not be able to get in for a while. When these rebels were exhausted, King Duan had no choice but to be captured.
There are many family members of officials who have passed away lying on the ground. If the mainstay of the family is dead, it is not easy for any of the children to climb up to this position and restore the former glory. If the emperor hadn't thought of taking advantage of this moment to suppress the snobbishness in the court, it would certainly not have lasted so long.
Finally, the rebels were suppressed, and Prince Duan and Deputy Commander Zheng were captured and forced to kneel on the ground.
At the same time, the second prince, who was guarding him with a sword, secretly moved back and forth. When he was behind the emperor, he suddenly pierced the emperor's back with his sword...
Xining was stunned for a moment. It was a big melon again!
Several courtiers also saw it and were stunned.
But the guards with swords had no strange expressions on their faces. They had only one answer. They had known this would happen for a long time. They were all arranged by the second prince.
The emperor slowly turned around, raised his hand in astonishment, and pointed at the second prince holding the sword with trembling fingers, with a look of disbelief on his face: "You~, why do you want to kill me? Sooner or later, my kingdom will be yours."< br>
The second prince had a cold face, and his expression was just as cold as before: "My father was wrong. My father died at the hands of the rebels."
The queen, who was standing not far away, walked to the second prince and smiled at the emperor, who was starting to see blood from his chest: "Are you waiting for you to die? He can't wait, and neither can I."
There was silence in the palace, and King Duan, who was kneeling on the ground with a knife on his neck, was also stunned.
Xining covered his forehead, it was over, it was going to be over now. It is regicide and patricide. If the second prince sits on the throne, everyone here will die sooner or later. What kind of plot is this? It’s not played like this. You can't stab him secretly, let King Duan take the blame, and just hide the truth and get away with it. You have to show off your IQ.
