The main hall of Changle Palace is not small, and there are some maids and servants on standby in the corners of the hall.
The second prince suddenly came in, and they were so shocked that they almost fainted. They could only cling to the wall and did not dare to run out, for fear of attracting the attention of the emperor and prince in the hall.
"Niezi, what are you talking nonsense about?"
Although Lu Zhang was furious, he did not panic at all. Not only did he not swing his sword to chase after the second prince, but instead took a step back.
The position he stood was very clever, and no matter whether he shot arrows from the door or the window, he could not reach this area.
Lu Zhang looked around and grabbed the third prince who was slumped to the ground.
The third prince was shaking like a sieve, and with his clothes in a mess, Lu Zhang couldn't help frowning, and was very disgusted in his heart.
"Stand up, no bones in your legs?!"
Hearing Lu Zhang's voice, the third prince trembled even more, tears streaming down his face, his face covered with mucus.
Seeing him like this, Lu Zhang was upset. He raised his hand and slapped him. Then he remembered that this son was always timid, so he might not be knocked out, but he would definitely faint.
That would be troublesome, because if you are dizzy, you cannot ask questions.
Moreover, there were not many living sons. Now one is about to die, and the other has committed a rebellion and cannot be kept. Only the third and sixth are left.
Lu Zhang endured boredom and said coldly, "How did you come here?"
"Hui... I report back to the emperor, my son is being held hostage..."
The third prince could not wait to shrink himself into a ball, did not dare to lift his head, and his voice was crying, but the back of his hand was protruding because of the tight fist.
Lu Zhang sneered in his heart, he knew exactly what the temperament of the third child was.
Cowardice is really cowardly, but after all, he is a prince, not a submissive dough, who likes to use all kinds of small tricks behind his back. It's a pity that they can't be on the table, they are small-minded and can't hide it.
The third child must be hating the second child at the moment, hating the second child for dragging himself into the water
"Go back."
Lu Zhang kicked the third prince, but the latter avoided him in time, only letting the soles of Lu Zhang's boots get wet with his clothes, but he didn't hit the ground.
The third prince said with a sad face: "My son doesn't dare, my son has nowhere to go."
He turned his head as he spoke, and Lu Zhang followed his gaze.
It was still quiet outside, as if the Praetorian Guard had all disappeared.
Even the lights in the palace did not know when they went out. It was dark outside, and there was no light in the side hall, including the corridor in the distance where the exquisite palace lanterns should have been hung.
Lu Zhang's heart sank. Ever since he knew that the second prince was audacious, he not only colluded with the commander of Jin Yiwei, but also got acquainted with Jianghu Caomang, he raised his guard and made perfect preparations.
In fact, Lu Zhang didn't have a deep concept of "martial arts master" in the past. There were many masters who worked for the royal family. After two dynasties, he didn't see anything special. At best, he can climb a beam, turn over a wall, and crush two stones—a martial arts master is also flesh and blood, and he can easily deal with it with a bow and arrow.
The imperial palace is strictly guarded, and it is definitely not a place where the rivers, lakes and grasses come and go at will, and the emperor's side will have internal servants and guards on duty for twelve hours. In Lu Zhang's view, it was impossible to break through such obstacles to assassinate the emperor.
However, this idea was broken three years ago.
A tragic incident occurred in the Beizhen Fusi. From the death of the first Jinyiwei to the serious injury of the deputy commander Gong Jun, the imperial guards in charge of patrolling the imperial city did not know what happened. Meng Qi came silently, and was not found by anyone when he left, leaving behind a group of dead bodies, already a group of Jin Yiwei who were so scared that they were about to fall ill.
Lu Zhang heard the description from the inner servant that there was no one in the entire Beizhen Fusi who could stand.
No blood either.
The body was intact and the cause of death was a broken neck.
The faces of the dead are only panic and fear, and there is no tormented pain, and many people even die without realizing what is about to happen.
Such corpses cannot be said to be terrifying. The Jinyiwei Prison and Dali Temple Prison are far more terrifying than this, and the corpses scattered with flesh and blood on the battlefield are also more shocking than these. However, it was these corpses that had no resistance, and the living people who lay down among the corpses and couldn't move, which made people more and more frightened.
Is this perpetrator a ghost or a demon? How to prevent a person from running out of Beizhen Fusi, and how to disappear without a trace before people outside Beizhen Fusi come in
Lu Zhang heard the name of "Meng Qi" from the living population of Fusi in Beizhen, and checked again, those who died were excavated by secret orders that day to excavate the residence of the former national teacher who lived in seclusion in Shangyun Mountain, trying to find the biography. The people of Guoyuxi, what Lu Zhang doesn't understand now, this is Meng Qi's revenge on him.
For this reason, he hadn't slept well for more than a month.
Lu Zhang had never met the national teacher of the Chu Dynasty. When he came to the capital, Chu Yuandi was already dead. Those who were not alive in the founding of the country were naturally left behind by him, if not for the purpose of tracing the whereabouts of the Chuan Guoyu Seal. , Lu Zhang would not even think of Meng Qi as such a person.
It was Meng Qi who let him know what a "martial arts master" really was.
So when Lu Zhang knew that the second prince had colluded with Jiang Hu Cao Mang, he didn't laugh it off, he immediately set up many traps, and sternly ordered to investigate the other party's origin.
After the identity of Zhao Zangfeng, the ancestor of Qingwu, was revealed, Lu Zhang did not hesitate to order the Imperial Guard to bring in three artillery pieces.
The Hall of Ten Thousand Harmonies was the place where the emperor received his ministers, and it was a symbol of authority in the world. Lu Zhang's move was indeed beyond the expectations of the second prince and the ancestor of Qingwu.
At this time, Chunhua Palace had been bombarded into ruins by artillery, and the Janissaries were still cleaning it up.
Lu Zhang remembered that the commander of the Imperial Guard had sworn to report that he had killed the "master", but he was killed by artillery bombardment. The second prince was alone, and even if he ran away, he would never be able to escape the imperial city. catch. Lu Zhang also praised the commander of the Imperial Guard, but now? What's going on now
Lu Zhang was full of anger, mixed with intense anxiety.
There was no guard beside him, only the useless third child and a few frightened palace servants were left.
The second prince fled to the door, panting to look at Lu Zhang with hatred in his eyes.
"Lu Min, you are extremely stupid! Do you think that those sloppy rivers and lakes will be easily satisfied by gold and silver?" Lu Zhang narrowed his eyes and reprimanded the second prince coldly, "Your mother-in-law has been begging for you, since you were a child, After so many years, you have been crowned and married, and you are still hopelessly stupid!"
"shut up!"
The second prince jumped up like a lit gun battle, and he gritted his teeth fiercely.
At this time, the second prince suddenly regretted that he didn't study hard. How could he deliberately perfunctory because those Hanlin scholars were all villains. If he was the sixth child, he would definitely be able to scold him at the moment, and every word was irrefutable.
But he was shaking with anger, and his mind went blank.
Meng Qi, who was waiting outside to watch the excitement: "..."
These two princes are really useless, one has a knife hidden on his body but dare not use it, and the other is full of anger but can't scold, what else can they do
"The prince is optimistic about his sixth brother, because he has no choice." Mo Li said to himself.
It is purely the taller among the dwarfs, even if you are not satisfied, after reading the other two princes, you will be able to discover the advantages of the sixth prince. At least bold and careful, dare to act, not stage fright.
"Okay, we received the money." Meng Qi reminded.
If you don't go in again, the third prince may be scared to death, and the second prince may be out of breath because his anger cannot be vented.
Mo Li thought about it carefully and found that there is indeed such a possibility.
The second prince's health is not good, the third prince gave three hundred taels of silver anyway!
At this time, Lu Zhang picked up the third prince, threw him to the front, and said coldly: "If you kill Lu Min, I will make you the prince."
The pale-faced third prince shuddered violently, his tears flowed even more fiercely, and he stammered: "This... This, Father, you said you wanted to make me the heir? But, but... "
"You don't even dare to do this, and you still want to ascend to the throne?" Lu Zhang scolded sternly, his tone full of sarcasm, "Didn't you surreptitiously contact the courtiers through the lecturing Hanlin? Even the two prime ministers, you want to win over, don't you? Do you just want to be a prince? You have this ambition, but you don't have the guts, eh?!"
The third prince who was exposed was not doing well, but his second prince was shocked and obviously didn't know about it at all.
"What? Youngest three - how dare you? How dare you do such a thing?!"
The second prince was furious, with a ferocious expression, as if he wanted to strangle his brother's neck.
Lu Zhang looked at the two brothers coldly, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but then it solidified.
"The emperor is still alive, you dare to seek storage? You despicable villain, white-eyed wolf!"
The second prince really rushed up and grabbed his brother's collar, while the third prince struggled desperately and kept crying that he didn't.
Seeing the chaos in the hall, Lu Zhang's expression changed, he simply held a long sword, and cautiously retreated to the Baibao Pavilion at the corner of the wall, where there was a hidden mechanism that could open an exit.
As a result, he only moved a few steps, and there was a sound of breaking wind, and a hidden weapon was nailed in front of his feet.
Lu Zhang looked down and his face changed drastically.
It was a bayberry kernel, very small, firmly embedded in the ground.
If this hidden weapon hits a person, the force is absolutely strong enough to break bones and pierce the internal organs.
"Who is it? Hiding his head and showing his tail is a villain's behavior, why don't you show up?"
Lu Zhang had been an emperor for more than ten years. Although he was panicked, his face was not visible at all. He was still a majestic emperor. If he changed someone else, he probably would have to admire the royal demeanor in his heart, but unfortunately the person he met was Meng Qi.
The fat rat was dismissive.
Doctor Mo saw too many fat rats, so he didn't care.
There was a sudden rain-like snatch sound, and the three bayberry cores flew into the hall, all hitting the long sword in Lu Zhang's hand.
Meng Qi threw away the bayberry kernels he had eaten, and Shi Shiran walked into the hall with his hands behind his back.
The lights in the hall were dim, and the moon rose outside the hall in the east.
The person who stepped on the moon didn't look like an ordinary person, Xiao Ran had the appearance of being out of the dust, and his face was like a bright jade reflection.
Even the second person who came in later was also very clear-headed, rushing to Jin Yucui, such a talent, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Yaolin Yushu. In the wilderness of the rivers and lakes, when have there been such people
In other words, how could such a person with such a dignified appearance be so arrogant
When Meng Qi stepped into the hall, the lights illuminated his face, and his half-smiling expression made Lu Zhang suddenly think of a person.
"Meng... national teacher?"
Three years ago, Jin Yiwei, who was lucky enough to survive in Fusili, Beizhen, painted a portrait with great effort.
The people in the portraits are already shocking, and I didn't expect the real person to be even better.
Lu Zhang's expression was very ugly. If it was Zhao Zangfeng, the ancestor of Qingwu, he knew that this man was ambitious, and he might be able to use his words to stabilize it. Other martial arts masters, he promised a high official and rich gold and silver beauty, and he might not be able to surrender. But Meng Qi? Meng Qi is simply a lunatic!
Acting without rules and doing whatever he wants, Lu Zhang even suspected that this Meng Guoshi had gone crazy since Li Yuanze killed the hero. Otherwise, with such a good martial arts, why not go to Li Yuanze to settle accounts
This person's appearance is also abnormal, like eating the legendary elixir of life.
Lu Zhang calmed down and said solemnly, "I didn't expect it to be you."
Without waiting for him to continue, Meng Qi vetoed: "No, I'm not rebelling, and I'm not here to avenge the Chu clan. Your account and mine must be counted on the revenge of the spirit medicine and the destruction of the house."
Lu Zhang's eyes moved, and he said powerfully, "I can make all the compensation for the spiritual medicine, and the same is true for the house."
Speaking of money, the second prince immediately became nervous.
-The emperor must be richer than him! For example, if he and the third child are added together, even if the crown prince is included, it is not enough to fight with the father and emperor.
"Meng Guoshi!" The second prince couldn't help reminding, "You took our money first!"
The third prince, who was shrunk beside him, was almost mad at this sentence. The second child was going to sell him!
Lu Zhang really noticed the word "we", and he glanced suspiciously at the third prince.
The third prince didn't dare to move, and he was about to swear in his heart. How could he be so unlucky to have a stupid brother like the second child, not only brought the martial arts master to blackmail him, but also forcibly took him to such a dangerous place. Who the hell paid the money to kill the king and kill the father? Isn't paying to stay far away and wait for the result with peace of mind
It's all done by myself, what are you paying for
Is the money paid to settle the palace servants and the Janissaries
Obviously he can do it with poison! It didn't work this time, so next time!
The third prince continued to tremble, no one but himself knew whether he was frightened or angry.
Meng Qi looked at the two princes playfully and thought about it, thinking that it would be more fun for the second prince to tease.
Lu Zhang was too lazy to pay attention to his two incompetent sons. He stared at Meng Qi and Mo Li behind Meng Qi, guessing the identity of this person in his heart.
Is it a descendant of the Chu Dynasty
Lu Zhang was slightly startled, looked at the ink carp seriously, and quickly rejected it again.
Only the descendant of Prince Zhaohua of the Chu Dynasty has not been caught, and he is less than fifteen years old, and there is no such person in the clan of the Chu Dynasty.
"I don't like your compensation." Meng Qi took out the paper bag and put the last bayberry into his mouth.
Lu Zhang: "…"
At such an important moment of "forcing the palace to kill the king", the other party actually ate candied fruit
Mo Li saw the palace servants who were huddled in the corner and trembling.
He sighed secretly and flicked his hand. The palace people were shocked to feel that they were pushed out of the hall by a force, eagerly wanting to shout, their eyes darkened, and then they lost consciousness.
They fell outside the palace, mixing with the palace guards who were originally guarding outside.
Seeing Mo Li's soft-hearted move, Lu Zhang first felt that it was difficult to understand today, and then he felt that he should start with Mo Li to find out Meng Qi's true intentions.
His expression changed, and before he could speak, Meng Qi found out.
"Although the Chu Dynasty is no longer prosperous as it used to be, the people of the world will still have time to live. You usurp the throne and seize power. I don't care. Break your neck."
Meng Qi's tone was gloomy and cold, and his expression changed accordingly. His brows were full of killing intent. The third prince could not wait to get in and run away.
Lu Zhang involuntarily took a step back.
Immediately he reacted, showing an annoyed look.
At this time, his eyes were faintly crazy, as if suppressing something.
"It's ridiculous, the Chu Dynasty has no way to kill heroes. What kind of person is Emperor Chu Ling, it seems that Meng Guoshi doesn't know? In order to balance the power in the court, he fabricated evidence and suppressed capable officials. Emperor Chu Ling arbitrarily tramples on the lives and dignity of the civil and military officials who serve the country, just for his status as the true dragon and the emperor." Lu Zhang's expression twisted, and he said angrily, "Chu Dynasty Li's wronged the country and wronged the people, He De How can you be on the throne?"
Mo Li was both annoyed and amused by Lu Zhang's words. A person like Lu Zhang actually thinks that others are trampling on their dignity? What happened to his own son, he had no idea at all.
"So what? Emperor Chu Ling's sins are serious, and you are his minions." Meng Qi sneered and said with disdain, "I don't know, when the ghost who plays for the tiger can put gold on his face and behave like a man."
"...Since I ascended the throne, I have tried my best to do state affairs, treated the ministers favorably, and I have never been harsh on the people. Even if there are natural and man-made disasters, the blame is not on me. The prosperity under the rule of Emperor Ling of Chu seems to be better than the prosperity of the world. Could it be that Jing is due to Emperor Chu Ling? He just had a good father and inherited the grace of his ancestors!"
When Lu Zhang was furious, he still firmly guarded his imperial power. He growled, "Within twenty years, the Chu Dynasty will fall apart because of his nonsense. There is a way out, so that they will not be wasted their whole lives and die without resting their eyes!"
Meng Qi laughed loudly.
Mo Li's expression was gloomy. He had never seen such a brazen person as Lu Zhang, but as a doctor, he observed that Lu Zhang might really think so.
Why do you always encounter people who "deceive yourself" to "believe it"? Qingwu Patriarch can still be said to be whimsical, is Lu Zhang suffering from ecstasy? Forgot everything you did
"Hahaha, are you the official of the Chu Dynasty who forgot to be killed by you?" Although Meng Qi was smiling, his eyes were full of killing intent.
The Qi Dynasty did not have any capable officials and officials, why? Because people with lofty ideals are not disgusted with the brutality of Lu Zhang's usurpation and massacre. He was killed by Lu Zhang in the catastrophe that day.
Lu Zhang killed so much that the courtiers in the court softened their knees and lost their integrity.
Meng Qi was not interested in the way of being loyal to the monarch, nor was it those who stubbornly refused to recognize Lu Zhang and scolded Lu Zhang for being a traitor, but the throne of the Qi Dynasty was truly stained with blood and covered with corpses.
"Are you diligent in politics and love the people? Treat all officials favorably?" Meng Qi couldn't help laughing, his eyes were cold.
Lu Zhang's scalp was numb, as if he had fallen into an ice hole in Jiuhantian, his whole body was stiff and unable to move, his throat was rolling, but he couldn't make any sound.
"You are just a villain seeking fame and fortune!"
Meng Qi pointed at Lu Zhang and said sternly, "You want high officials and wealth, and you want to be above others, so you are willing to be the minions of Emperor Chu Ling. The evil dog eats the master, and it's your own fault. Emperor Chu Ling is really unbearable, but you What is a good thing? You are not willing to be a hawk and dog, you are not willing to be despised by others, you want to be the master of the world, and you want the world to kneel in front of you, so you are killing people, and those who do not obey will die! This supreme authority, if you want to stand firm, you have to wash away the bad name on your body. In order to prove the insolence of Emperor Chu Ling, you changed your face, treated the ministers kindly, made up sophistry, and in the end even believed it yourself. It's pathetic and ridiculous to be so diligent!"
"shut up!"
Lu Zhang's face turned blue and then purple. He gasped for breath, ignoring his fear, and roared angrily, "What do you know? What do you know?!"
Lu Zhang was about to go crazy.
He lost his father when he was young, and his mother was forced to death by his clan, and he was oppressed and looked down upon.
The clan is powerful, and in such a situation and such a background, only by standing out in the crowd can he raise his eyebrows and trample on the soles of those who oppressed him in the past.
He struggled for decades, through life and death, unscrupulous.
The official became bigger and bigger, but he didn't get what he wanted. He was still despised by others. Those court officials in the court scolded him as a lackey, and even threw a jade wat to hit him, even Chu Lingdi looked at him. Also contemptuous.
Who wants to be a dog
This must be because he is not tall enough, his status is not prominent enough, and the power he holds is not big enough! He has not come to the end of this road yet, as long as he is a great treasure, he will be the real Son of the Dragon, and no one will be rude to his face again!
Lu Zhang's eyes were red with blood, and he staggered a few steps to support the wall, his expression extremely ferocious.
The second prince was taken aback, let alone the timid third prince.
Lu Zhang's mind was confused, and he vaguely saw that he was sitting in the Hall of Wanhe, full of joy, and the courtiers who were brought in shouted "chaotic ministers and thieves", and pointed at him and cursed for a while.
Meng Qi's face was blurred, and his figure seemed to have become an old minister of the Chu Dynasty.
Lu Zhang looked around, and seemed to see the contempt and anger hidden in the expressions of those courtiers. They stood upright and refused to submit to a usurper.
"Kill! Drag it down and show the crowd!" Lu Zhang shouted frantically, pointing at Meng Qi and everyone in the hall, including Mo Li and the two princes.
"If you don't ask for mercy, kill them all!"
Lu Zhang was panting heavily, his eyes were red, like a beast.
The second prince subconsciously grabbed a gold-painted multicolored bottle, swung it up and smashed it.
Lu Zhang was smashed back a step and his consciousness was chaotic.
He touched the blood dripping from his forehead, and was suddenly pushed forward by a force and fell to the ground.
Lu Zhang screamed, and a dagger was stuck on his back.
The third prince suddenly shrank to the side, his hands were shaking, and he had no strength, and the dagger was not a magic weapon, even a little blunt.
Because this dagger was originally made into a plaything, it was inlaid with gems and pearls, and there was no opening.
These things were not allowed in the harem of the Qi Dynasty.
The wound is not fatal.
But the third prince didn't know, he saw everyone looking at him, especially his second brother, and his father, who was still terrified by his unconsciousness.
"He... he killed the eldest brother!" the third prince howled.
"What?" The second prince was shocked.
Also shocked are Meng Qi and Mo Li, isn't the prince still alive
"The father said that he wanted to make me the heir. If the eldest brother is alive, how can he establish the heir again?" The third prince said while crying.
Meng Qi and Mo Li: "..."
Wake up, the crown prince didn't live long. Lu Zhang said that it's okay to have another prince, so why did he kill the crown prince
