Huo Feng did not see the emperor when he entered the palace, and the emperor did not summon him on the grounds that he was unwell. Huo Feng left the palace uneasy, and he kept thinking about Yi Zhongren's words along the way. That ruthless person may be planning to attack him. Thinking of this, Huo Feng rushed back to the palace. When he returned to the mansion, before he could meet his wife and children, Huo Feng sent his confidants out of the city to tell Huang Han and Xu Baicai that the situation on his side was likely to change, so that they could find a way to escape to Huangshapo, ten miles away. Receiving him secretly. He wants to take his wife and children out of Beijing.
Huo Feng has two wives: Concubine Zheng and Concubine Side. The first son, Huo Yunkai, was born to Concubine Zheng, who just turned ten this year. Huo Feng was stationed at the border all the year round, and the two ladies were ordered by the emperor to stay in the capital. For various considerations, Huo Feng did not have a group of wives and concubines like his imperial brother, and naturally he did not have many children. But compared to the sons of the emperor's brother, he is already a lot.
At Zhang Zhong's mansion, after Yi Zhongren arrived, Zhang Zhong waved back and had a secret conversation with Yi Zhongren. Zhang Zhong lowered his voice and asked, "When you left the palace, did you see the King of Yue?"
Unsurprisingly, Zhang Zhong knew about his meeting with Huo Feng, and the corners of Yi Zhongren's mouth twitched indifferently: "Yes. King Yue is still like that, 'defiant'."
Zhang Zhong smiled: "King Yue mentioned that if we weren't 'eunuchs' or 'monsters', we don't have to take serious people to heart. You and I are loyal to the emperor, and it's okay to suffer this grievance."
Yi Zhongren twitched the corners of his mouth unhappily, as a response.
Zhang Zhong was a little serious and said: "We found out that King Yue has conspiracy intentions, but the evidence is still a little bit lacking. I'm afraid that it will not be enough to convince the public by then, but the emperor has already ordered, so we must do it without leaking. "The King of Yue has 700,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, so we must be careful."
Yi Zhongren put down the tea cup in his hand: "The evidence is not revealed by people? As long as the people around King Yue kill him and want to rebel, then he will rebel."
Zhang Zhong smiled, he really is a heavy man, and his mind is transparent.
Yi Zhongren went on to say: "It seems that the two powerful people around King Yue did not return to Beijing with him this time, and the grass has to be eradicated. Only by completely cutting off King Yue's wings can we ensure that the 700,000 soldiers and horses in King Yue's hands will not be in chaos. Otherwise, just by capturing the King of Yue, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no trouble. Your Majesty, I hate trouble the most."
Zhang Zhong nodded and said gloomily, "I'm also thinking about how to completely get rid of the people around King Yue who are loyal to him. Chongren, do you have any good ideas?"
Yi Zhongren said coldly: "Two-pronged approach."
"How to say?"
Yi Zhongren didn't say it directly, but hinted: "The king of Yue was arrested, and his subordinates will definitely come to save him. The emperor has already made a decree. If anyone dares to take risks and disrespect the decree at this time, it is more obvious that the king of Yue has Are you rebellious?"
"Hehe," Zhang Zhong nodded again and again, "As expected of a heavy person. As expected, these matters can only be discussed with you, and others will only cause trouble for me. Then I will leave this matter to you. But King Yue's Two sons..." Zhang Zhong made a killing gesture.
Yi Zhongren approached and whispered in Zhang Zhong's ear: "The king of Yue's youngest son has just passed the full moon a few days ago. Isn't Lord Dugong missing some 'medicine' recently?"
Zhang Zhong moved next, hesitant in his eyes. Yi Zhongren held Zhang Zhong's hand: "Leave everything to your subordinates." Then he backed away.
Zhang Zhong was very satisfied: "Heavy people, heavy people, if I didn't have you by my side, I would really cut off my right and left arms. There is no shortage of good things in the Yuewang mansion. Take what you like."
"Thank you, Lord Duke."
Yi Zhongren got up and retire, and Zhang Zhong let him leave with a smile. He couldn't help laughing with joy at the thought that the biggest obstacle in his path to power was about to be removed.
Yi Zhongren left Zhang Zhong's mansion and summoned his men immediately. Zhang Zhong sent another confidant of his eunuch, Liu Yu, to assist Yi Zhongren. In the main hall of Huanwei, Yi Zhongren discussed the specific arrangement and time of the operation with the four arresting officers of Huanwei and Yuqinwei. During this period, the people of Yizhong got news that the two hundred people who were stationed by Huo Feng outside Beijing suddenly closed their camp and were about to leave. Zhang Zhong had already told Sun Jiyu to send imperial guards to intercept the two hundred people, and instructed the people of Yizhong to run away, and let the King of Yue be afraid of fleeing. He grabs hold of it.
Yi Zhongren set the time at half an hour, and the men of Huanwei and Yuqinwei directly rushed into the Yue Wang Mansion to arrest people.
In Yue Wang Mansion, the people who sent out have not sent the news back, Huo Feng felt the urgency of the matter. He immediately found two ladies and asked them to disguise and take their children out of the house through the back door, and leave Beijing immediately. At this moment, Huo Feng got bad news. The prince Huo Yunkai, who was playing in the back garden, disappeared, as did the two guards and two maids who followed him. Huo Feng's heart sank, and the princess was so anxious that she almost fainted.
Huo Feng hurriedly sent his servants out of the house to look for them. Time was waiting for no one. At the same time, he started arranging for the two ladies and the youngest son to leave the house. But it seemed that God didn't intend to let Huo Feng go. Before he could send his wife and young son away, a team of troops from outside the Yue Wang Mansion surrounded the Wang Mansion. Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu sent a large number of minions to monitor Huo Feng after he returned to Beijing. Naturally, they also had their eyeliners in the palace, so how could they not know what Huo Feng was doing.
"The emperor has a decree, ordering the king of Yue to wait for the summons in the mansion, and no one in the mansion of the king of Yue is allowed to leave the mansion at will, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"
Huo Feng in the lobby clenched his hands into fists. He knew that Zhang Zhong and Sun Jiyu had always regarded him as a thorn in the flesh because he had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. But he always held on to a silver lining. No matter how stupid or confused the emperor is, he won't let those two bastards touch him. And this imperial decree, whether it was ordered by the emperor himself or not, the last hope in Huo Feng's heart was completely extinguished, and only hatred and regret remained. Regrets my little unrealistic hope and brotherhood over the years.
"Your Highness..." The two princesses cried, and the child in the side of the concubine's arms seemed to feel the chilling air that pervaded all around, and began to cry.
Huo Feng raised his head, his eyes were red, and he almost crushed two fists.
"It was me who killed you. I should have picked you up earlier."
"My lord!"
The two princesses knelt in front of Huo Feng. The door was smashed open by someone using a giant tree from outside, giving Huo Feng no chance to escape at all. Hundreds of Hu'an Guards and Imperial Guards rushed into the palace, killing and arresting anyone they saw.
Huo Feng looked out the door, his fists slowly loosened, he hugged his two women and monks' infant children, and whispered: "If they want to torture you, just kill yourself, I will be on Huangquan Road. waiting for you."
"The concubine will never be a drag on the prince!"
The demon rushed over, and the princess pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed it into her chest. Everyone knows that whether it falls into the hands of Hu Anwei or the Imperial Guard, it is a more painful torture than death.
"My lord, forgive my concubine."
The side concubine cried and raised the hairpin in her hand and stabbed the child in her arms with force. A whip flew and wrapped the child in the side concubine's arms, and the child's cry suddenly increased.
"my child!"
"Yi Zhongren!"
Huo Feng put down the dead concubine on his lap, picked up the big knife on the table, and rushed towards the person who came in. Yi Zhongren's soldiers and horses rushed in, and the side concubine raised the hairpin in her hand again and pierced her heart before being caught.
"Yu'er!"
Huo Feng tasted the grief of heartbreak and death. Seeing the two wives lying in a pool of blood, seeing the young son who was held in his arms by Yi Zhongren's men and crying, and thinking of the eldest son who was missing, Huo Feng's knife split open the demons who were trying to catch him.
Yi Zhongren raised his hand towards the soldiers who were about to charge, and the soldiers stopped. He pulled out the soft sword from his waist, and with a flick of his figure, he came to Huo Feng, who was slaughtered with red eyes.
This is the first head-to-head fight between Yi Zhong and Huo Feng. Yi Zhongren's martial arts is that the masters in the big house must respect him for three points, and Huo Feng, as a fierce general who has been stationed at the border all the year round, has the fierceness of a general who has killed countless enemies. In an instant, his wife and son were separated, and Huo Feng, who didn't intend to live and knew that he couldn't live, vowed to pull some people back before he died, and Yi Zhongren was one of them.
Swords, lights, swords and shadows, dazzling, the soldiers who surrounded the lobby retreated outside the house one after another to avoid accidental injury. The cry of the baby was accompanied by the thick bloody smell around, and the Yue Wangfu was swaying in the rain of blood.
Five years ago, Prime Minister Zhang's family died tragically, and Huo Feng's subordinates persuaded him to raise troops. There is no hope for the South Chu country. Today's emperor is incoherent, and he only cares about eating, drinking, and enjoying himself. Hu Anwei and Imperial Guards control the court. Sooner or later, their black hands will reach out to him. But Huo Feng hesitated again and again. Raising an army is not so easy. Once the army is defeated, not only will one's life be lost, but also the stigma of rebellion will be left behind. He always thought that the royal brother would take care of brotherhood and motherhood. In the end, it turned out that the stupidest person was him! How could he still have hope for the imperial brother who had rotted to the core? ! Look at the world! Look at these monsters! Look at his tragically dead lady! Look at his kidnapped child! He couldn't even get the baby back!
Huo Feng's full of hatred and humiliation all pointed at the person who blocked him, at the person he hated so deeply at the moment. Yi Zhongren's face still had that ghostly makeup and a cold mockery. He seemed to be mocking his incompetence, his stupidity.
"when!"
The broadsword came out of his hand, splashed a blood flower in the air, and plunged straight into the blue brick on the wall. Several Huanwei soldiers who could not dodge were cut off their necks. Huo Feng was directly kicked by Yi Zhongren in the chest, and his body fell heavily about ten feet away. The figure flickered, and Yi Zhongren pointed his sword at Huo Feng's neck and stepped on his chest. Huo Feng spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at each other fiercely.
"My lord, the servants are just here to bring the lord into the palace. The lord's reaction may not be too big." Yi Zhongren glanced at the two women who were lying in a pool of blood.
"It's enough for this king to enter the palace with an imperial decree. What are you doing here, you steed dog!" Huo Feng, who couldn't get up, scolded Yi Zhongren mercilessly. A cold light flashed in Yi Zhongren's eyes, the tip of his sword was picked up, and Huo Feng's neck opened a hole.
After bending over to click on Huo Feng's acupuncture point, Yi Zhongren backed away, his voice a little colder than before: "Declaration."
A eunuch appeared at the door with an imperial decree in his hand. He opened the imperial decree, and his shrill voice was cruel: "Fengtian, the emperor's decree said: The king of Yue embraces his troops with self-respect, and intends to cause chaos and disaster in the court..."
Hearing the first sentence, Huo Feng laughed lowly. As for what was written behind the imperial decree, he didn't need to listen. Self-respect for the army... Intention to rebel... Brother Huang, you are really my good brother!
"Hahaha, hahaha... Zhang Zhong! Liu Jiyu! This king curses your whole family!"
Huo Feng's cursing stopped abruptly. Yi Zhongren kicked his dumb hole. Taking a step back and wrapping the soft sword around his waist, Yi Zhongren took out a silk handkerchief from his arms and wiped his fair hands, then threw the silk handkerchief on Huo Feng's face.
"take away."
The soldiers swarmed in, erected Huo Feng who couldn't move, and took the man away.
"Wow-"
Hearing his son's cry, Huo Feng, who was unable to move or speak, tightly closed his eyes. Child, father, I am sorry for you. The father promised you that in the next life, I will definitely be your father, and I will never let you suffer such grievances and bullying again. Child, in the next life, the father will give you a nice name, definitely!
Huo Feng was taken away by the people of Huanwei, and the Yuewang mansion was turned upside down. After recording all the valuable things in the mansion, they will all be moved into the mansion of Yizhong people. As for Emperor Jiazheng, as long as Zhang Zhong came forward to explain. Just one click. Addicted to beauty, Emperor Jiazheng has no energy to care about his brother's life or death.
Liu Yu walked in front of Yi Zhongren and asked in a low voice, "Master Qianhu, that child..."
Yi Zhongren looked over coldly, Liu Yu shrank, and immediately lowered his head. Yi Zhongren said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The children's affairs are your own, and don't mind your own business."
"Yes."
No longer looking at Liu Yu, Yi Zhongren left, and the person holding the child followed him. After Yi Zhongren left, Liu Yu pursed his lips with resentment in his eyes. If he was the one who saved the prince back then, how could Yi Zhongren climb onto his head! Yi Zhongren, you wait, sooner or later I will make you kneel in front of me and lick my toes! Ordered to bring the bodies of the two princesses to the Huan Wei Yamen, Liu Yu hurriedly left the Yue Wang Mansion and went to Zhang Zhong's mansion to report.
Zhang Zhong has been waiting for news in the mansion, and he got the news after Yi Zhongren took Huo Feng away. It's a little regrettable that the two concubines of King Yue have both died, and there are two less chips, but those two committed suicide, and Zhang Zhong has nothing to blame. Not only did he not blame him, he was also very satisfied that Yi Zhongren grabbed the child in time.
"Your Excellency."
Someone is begging outside the door. Zhang Zhong responded casually, and Liu Yu bowed and entered.
"Master Dugong, the King of Yue was taken away. It's just that the Prince of Yue was not in the mansion at the time, and he didn't know where to go. The servants have already sent troops to find him, and he will not be allowed to run away."
"Well, I already know. The King of Yue naturally can't escape. The prince of the King of Yue will be executed immediately after being caught."
"Yes." Liu Yu endured the dissatisfaction in his heart and stepped forward two steps and whispered: "Master Qianhu took away King Yue's youngest son. The servant asked him what to do, but he was reprimanded by Lord Qianhu. The servant was terrified. Cutting the weeds without eradicating the roots, in case…”
"To shut up!"
Zhang Zhong shouted angrily, startling Liu Yu. Signaling the waiters in the house to step back and shut the door, Zhang Zhong taught him a lesson: "Liu Yu, Liu Yu, I've been taking you by my side and nurturing me with all my heart, you've just grown a pig's brain!"
Liu Yu panicked when he heard it, and hurriedly knelt down: "Please make it clear, Lord Dugong!"
"Show me your ass!" Zhang Zhong kicked Liu Yu aside with one foot, and Liu Yu knelt down and climbed over to kowtow. Zhang Zhong tapped Liu Yu's forehead and scolded: "You've been blaming heavy people for being more favored than you, so don't think about what it is for. You pig brain can't even match half of heavy people! What a waste, I'm right Your painstaking efforts to cultivate! If you dare to talk more about children, I will shave your meat and feed it to the dog! Get off!"
"Lord, let go of your anger, let go of your anger, your lord, let your minions be stupid, let your lord be calm!"
"Get off!"
Liu Yu rolled out on his stomach. Kneeling outside the door, he was in a cold sweat, racking his brains to think about the reason why he was being scolded. After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Yu exclaimed "Ah" and quickly covered his mouth when he thought that his legs were numb. Slapped himself twice, he got up from the ground and left in a panic. How could he forget about the care of Lord Du Gong!
