Chapter 191 The Victorious King
The Prince of Qi's Mansion reported to the palace that Prince of Qi Zhao Tingmei was seriously ill and dying. As a close brother, the Emperor should go to the Prince of Qi's Mansion to pay him a visit to show his care.
The emperor rode on the imperial sedan chair and, escorted by more than a hundred martial arts masters from the Imperial City who were dressed as ordinary guards, and three hundred imperial guards who included dozens of masters from the palace, left the palace and headed straight for the Prince of Qi's mansion.
Although the shops on the streets along the way were not closed, the people who were shopping were all far away, and the store fronts were deserted. The shop assistants did not dare to shout to sell goods, and no one dared to make noise and disturb the emperor.
The Emperor arrived and the gate of Prince Qi's mansion was opened wide. Princess Qi, along with her children, concubines, maids, and servants, knelt outside the door to welcome the Emperor.
Wang Jie'en and another eunuch helped the emperor get off the imperial sedan chair. Cheng Wuya, dressed in black, followed closely beside the emperor.
The emperor's majestic eyes swept over the people kneeling on the ground, "Stand up!" He raised his legs and walked towards the gate of Prince Qi's mansion.
Cheng Wuya led more than one hundred masters of the Imperial City Bureau to surround the emperor's carriage. Of the three hundred imperial guards, except for one hundred who stayed at the gate of the mansion, the other two hundred entered the mansion and lined up in the front yard.
The King of Qi, who pretended to be sick in bed, opened his eyes and asked quietly, "Are there only a hundred people escorting you?"
Li Rui, the trusted aide of the King of Qi, replied in a low voice: "It is just as we expected. There are only more than a hundred people escorting the King, and three hundred imperial guards are left outside the palace gate and in the front yard."
The plan that had been plotted for many days was about to be launched. When the time came, King Qi Zhao Tingmei suddenly felt a surge of fear and tension in his heart!
Gritting my teeth and holding on to my courage!
[Zhao Guangyi! You forced me to do this. After you forced Wei Wang Zhao Dezhao to death, you will kill me next. Rather than living in fear and panic every day, it is better to fight to the death! Today, either the fish dies or the net breaks! ]
The emperor, accompanied by more than a hundred experts from the Imperial City Department, had just entered the Funing Courtyard where the King of Qi lived, when the two courtyard doors were suddenly closed from the outside. Figures stood on the eaves of the north room and the east and west wing rooms, and hundreds of archers had their arrows on their bows, ready to go!
The emperor stopped and roared into the house!
: "Zhao Tingmei! Get out!"
King Qi Zhao Tingmei threw back the quilt and jumped out of bed!
When he came out of the house and walked under the eaves, he saw that the three roofs and the high wall on the south were covered with dense archers, and their arrows were aimed at the conspicuous yellow robed man surrounded by guards in the middle of the yard. The King of Qi felt relieved!
I couldn't help but let out a long cry to the sky!
"Hahahaha!... Second brother, you didn't expect that, did you? You killed your eldest brother and seized the throne, but you still won't let go of me, your younger brother who only wants to be a peaceful prince.
Today I am going to fight to the death, it is all a helpless move after being forced into a desperate situation by you.
I will sit on that supreme dragon throne without hesitation!"
The emperor looked at his brother who was getting too proud of himself. There was no fear or panic in his eyes, but contempt and disdain, and he sneered!
"King Qi, aren't you happy too early? I was just worried that I couldn't find an excuse to get rid of you, this stumbling block, but you were dreaming and took the initiative to stick your head out. Don't blame me for taking it off without any courtesy!"
The King of Qi was frightened!
The inexplicable fear came over him again. He was terrified of his cunning, sinister and cruel second brother. Was the plan leaked? Or was the cunning and sinister second brother just bluffing?
He looked up at the archers high up, gritted his teeth and waved his hands!
:"shoot!……"
As soon as he uttered the words and before his raised hand fell, the archers on all sides screamed and fell to the ground like dumplings. Dozens of agile kung fu masters in ordinary guards' uniforms attacked him from behind!
Arrows flew like locusts towards the group of people trapped in the center of the wide courtyard. Cheng Wuya led sixty masters to swing their swords to deflect the arrows and protect the emperor who was trapped in the circle. He also easily separated fifty people to jump onto the roof and slaughter the archers.
The King of Qi was horrified! His face turned pale instantly, and his thighs trembled!
"How could this happen? Are these guards all masters of the palace? Quick!... Quickly mobilize the six thousand cavalry and infantry at the city gate to come over for support!"
Staff member Li Rui and others were also frightened out of their wits, their faces pale, and they leaned against the wall under the eaves with their legs trembling.
The more than 100 guards brought by the emperor turned out to be kung fu masters from the Imperial City Department. The one who attacked and killed the archer on the roof was a master of the Imperial Palace with superb kung fu. Zhao Guangyi was well prepared! Thinking of the consequences of treason, the staff and counselors all turned pale and their clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
In less than a cup of tea, there were only a few archers left on the roof and high walls, and more than 200 of the 300 imperial guards in the front yard rushed over and opened the tightly closed gate.
Watching the situation become hopeless, the King of Qi fell to his knees with a plop, his face as pale as paper and his whole body trembling!
There were layers of corpses under the walls of the wide courtyard, and the blood flowing down from the roofs and high walls dyed the walls red. The strong smell of blood filled the nose, and the tragic scene was terrifying!
Surrounded by Cheng Wuya and several palace masters, the emperor walked slowly to the eaves of the corridor.
Looking at the pale and trembling King Qi lying on the ground, he sneered contemptuously, "You have no ability but are so brave that you dare to kill the king and rebel?
My dear brother, have you ever looked in the mirror and seen if you are that kind of person?"
The King of Qi looked ashen, his teeth chattering with fear and his lips trembling, "Your Majesty! I deserve to die! Please, Your Majesty, spare my two young and ignorant sons..."
He knew that he was doomed to die and only hoped that the emperor would spare the lives of his two sons.
[Humph! If I spare your two sons, will they rebel against my son in the future?
Cutting the grass and eradicating the troubles forever is my principle of action! 】
"Tie them all up! Take them to the Dali Temple and put them in jail." After the emperor gave the order, he turned and left.
More than thirty masters of the Prince of Qi's mansion, plus more than three hundred guards and servants, were tied together with ropes and taken to the Dali Temple prison.
The people on the street hid in front of the shops on the roadside in panic, looking at the long line of miserable and embarrassed figures, and whispered to each other. They wondered what kind of crime the King of Qi had committed, and how could such a noble prince be arrested and imprisoned?
The emperor returned to the palace and went directly to the Chuigong Hall.
He walked to the imperial desk and sat down, then asked, "Has there been any news from Wanshengmen?"
Wang Jien bowed and said, "Your Majesty, no news has come back yet.
However, in my opinion, the result will be no surprise.
Wanshengmen?
The King of Qi did choose a gate with an auspicious name as the main attack direction, but how could he be so lucky? Your Majesty, you are the true dragon emperor, the king of all victories! "
Wang Jie'en's flattery was just right, and the emperor's lips curled up in satisfaction: "That's right! I am the true dragon emperor, the king of all victories!"
Wang Jie'en secretly curled his lips in his heart.
[In the Battle of Gaoliang River, if Your Majesty had not been so afraid of death that you drove a donkey cart to escape, how could the Song army have been defeated so miserably?
If we talk about this kind of political scheming, you can be called a king of ten thousand victories. 】
A fierce battle was taking place in front of Wansheng Gate, which is closest to the imperial palace in the west of the city.
Thirty thousand imperial guards surrounded six thousand cavalry and infantry outside the city gate, waging a war of annihilation with a huge disparity in strength!
Flags were waving everywhere and shouts of killing were deafening!
Fu Qian, the commander of the cavalry and infantry, knew that his plan had been exposed, so he could only steel himself and fight to the death, hoping that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi could capture the Emperor, so that they would have a chance to turn the tables.
He had just raised his spear to knock a young general from the opposite side off his horse, when three long spears and two big swords came towards him.
Fu Qian hurriedly drew his gun to block the two oncoming spears. Three golden arrows, with sharp sounds of wind, took the opportunity to whiz towards him, one in front and two behind!
Fu Qian was so frightened that he turned his head to avoid a blow and just turned back.
"Puff!" A golden arrow hit his throat, and the third golden arrow that followed also shot into his chest.
Fu Qian's body swayed and he fell off his horse!
The commander was killed, and the soldiers, who had no idea why they were being besieged by friendly forces, suddenly fell into chaos!
"You have been deceived into rebelling. Drop your weapons! Surrender and you will not be killed!" Li Mo, who shot and killed the main rebel general, used his internal strength to shout loudly.
: "Drop your weapons!..."
"Surrender and you won't be killed!"
The shouts of the three thousand imperial guards around them shook the earth!
The rebel soldiers felt as if they had been granted amnesty after hearing this. They dropped their weapons, squatted down and put their hands on their heads.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, several generals who had participated in the rebellion plan sighed, threw down their weapons, jumped off their horses and surrendered. …
"Report! ...Your Majesty, the rebels have been completely wiped out.
The rebel leader Fu Qian was shot dead by General Li Mo, the golden eagle's divine arrow. More than 2,000 rebels died and more than 3,000 surrendered! "A eunuch ran in from outside the hall and knelt down excitedly to report.
The emperor stroked his beard and thought happily: [I am the true dragon emperor, the ever-victorious king! ]
Wang Jie'en knelt down on the ground excitedly and shouted congratulations!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, you are the greatest emperor of all time, the most victorious ruler! "
The other young eunuchs in the hall also knelt down to congratulate him.
: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"The greatest emperor of all time!..."
: "The victorious king! ..."
