Chapter 264: Drama (8)
Le Wu was ready to act recklessly.
The previous performances of many court officials, hostages, and nobles were nothing more than a fig leaf to whitewash their rebellious behavior of forcing the emperor to abdicate and forcing the empress dowager to take the throne.
But... since Yinyuan won’t cooperate, let’s just do it!
Anyway, he, Lewu, holds the knife, while the cultural and educational officials hold the pen.
The knife handle plus the pen, what is this? This is the people's support, this is the country, this is endless power and interests!
Anyway, when they were planning the previous one, they had even prepared Yin Yuan's future title.
'The King of Freedom'!
A prince who lives a carefree and enjoyable life!
There is also the huge Jiuqu Garden where he can walk his dog and fight cocks. Is this not fair to him?
Anyway, didn't Yinyuan live the same life before? It's just that Yinyuan's title changed from the supreme "Son of Heaven" to the slightly derogatory "King of Freedom"!
Just do it!
Anyway, judging from the attitudes of Yinyuan and Lu Yi, today's incident will not end peacefully!
Le Wu let out a long howl toward the sky. The sharp howl was like countless cold awls, piercing the air. In an instant, it spread throughout the entire imperial city, then passed over the city walls and reached outside the imperial city.
On the four walls of the imperial city, the imperial guards' trumpeters raised their horns and blew loud and piercing sounds.
There were also black smoke columns rising into the sky, dazzling with blood, and they shot straight into the sky. In the city of Gaojing, in the imperial guards' garrisons in various neighborhoods, there were also bloody lights and black smoke rising into the sky, one after another, and they spread quickly far away.
Then, shouts of killing broke out in the camp of the Four Expeditionary Corps outside the city.
In the city walls of the North Gate, West Gate, and South Gate, the sound of mechanisms was as dull as thunder. One heavy city gate after another slowly opened. In the city gate corridor, the extremely heavy gate slowly rose.
Then, the sound of Sanskrit chanting became louder.
Tall and burly monks, carrying various heavy weapons and shouting the slogan "Buddha has mercy on us", walked out of the mansions near , stepped on auspicious clouds and soared into the sky. In an instant, they rushed to the three city gates and swung their Zen sticks to chop around.
The disciple of the Mi Zang Sect shouted loudly, and the sound was heard over a hundred feet. All the imperial guards within a hundred feet range vomited blood from their seven orifices and fainted on the ground.
The disciples of the Great Tianlong Temple made long dragon chants, one after another, and their magnificent power moved the winds and clouds of heaven and earth. Golden dragon shadows flew all over the sky, and lightning flashed wherever they passed, hitting countless imperial guards and making them fall to the ground convulsing.
The Great Dharma Image Temple was even more mighty, with the infinite Buddha power forming Dharma images of various postures, including celestial dragons, Asuras, Yakshas, and celestial maidens. Each Dharma image possessed different magical powers, and wherever a Dharma image passed by, waves of imperial guards fell to the ground, no longer able to resist.
It took less than a cup of tea for the mechanism to open the city gates, and all the mechanisms for opening the city gates were controlled by these big monks. Then the city gates were closed again, and the gates in the city gate corridors fell down again with a "click, click, click".
The Four Expedition Corps that were preparing to charge outside the city were stunned for a while. They stared blankly at the three-mile-high Haojing city wall, which was in complete disarray.
This is totally different from the plan!
Outside the city of Haojing, the Four Expeditionary Corps had become a complete decoration before they were even launched.
In the streets of Gaojing City, the local imperial guards drawn from various prefectures, counties and prefectures shouted in unison. They drew their weapons and shouted loudly: "The emperor is unjust, the empress is honored!"
They rushed to government offices one after another, and together with the market officials who had received orders, posted manifestos on the bulletin boards in front of their doors, denouncing the unjust Emperor Yinyuan and accusing him of bringing disaster to the country and the people.
At the same time, they also posted notices and announced to the onlookers with the sound of gongs and drums that the emperor had abdicated, and the empress dowager would ascend the throne as empress in accordance with the will of heaven and the will of the people and become the new emperor of Dayin.
This is what happened in many markets below the third rank. In short, it went very smoothly. The undermanned Yulin Army and Canglang Cavalry did not make any arrangements for the markets below the third rank and just let things like this happen. For a time, the lower-class people were in an uproar, thinking that Dayin had really changed its ways like this.
In those first-, second-, and third-grade markets, the Yulin Army and the Imperial Guards formed a battle array on the streets and launched a tentative attack.
The Yulin and Imperial Guards, wearing heavy armor and holding various sharp weapons, started fighting with a "ding-ding-dang-dang" sound. Waves of arrows swept through the sky like a storm, landing on the heavy armor and shields with a "ding-ding" sound.
As for Wuyinfang and Kunpengfang in Chaopinfang City, the battle has already begun.
Teams of Gray Wolf Riders whistled as they rolled through the streets, their powerful bows releasing waves of fierce arrows that continuously pierced the bodies of the imperial guards.
Especially outside the imperial city, the focus was on the northeast gate through which Yinyuan entered the imperial city, where shouts and cries of killing were deafening.
Waves of elite imperial guards with red eyes attacked madly, but were beaten to pieces by the elite Yulin and Canglang riders who had practiced the outer sect skills of the Great Vajra Temple.
Wave after wave of imperial guards rushed up and were killed on the spot in a few moves. The blood quickly dyed the ground red, and then flowed along the drainage ditches on the highway into the canal between Jiuqu Garden and the Imperial City. The several miles wide river surface quickly turned red, and then flowed downstream along the current, causing countless residents along the way to scream and exclaim.
Outside the Fuyao Palace, in the square, tens of thousands of elite imperial guards began to charge.
Ah Hu and the other 108 strong men who had reached the first level of Vajra Dharma Perfection, carried heavy weapons, formed the 108 Vajra Demon Subduing Formation of the Great Vajra Temple, and crushed towards the opposite side with a terrifying aura.
With just one strike, the 108 Tiger Lords were motionless, while thousands of imperial guards on the opposite side were smashed to pieces. Fragments of armor and weapons flew backwards like a rainstorm. In an instant, another 20,000 elite imperial guards were riddled with holes by the sharp fragments and fell to the ground wailing.
The first great perfection of Vajra Dharma Image, if placed before the spiritual power of heaven and earth collapsed, in any Buddhist sect, it would be a master of cultivation who had reached the great perfection of Fiery Realm and was ready to plant golden lotus!
Any cultivator who has reached perfection in the Fiery Realm can easily kill tens or hundreds of thousands of mortal soldiers by using his magical powers and secret techniques.
Ah Hu and his 108 men formed a battle formation to confront tens of thousands of elite imperial guards... This was a bit of bullying.
The blood mist from the explosions of the imperial guards that were blasted to pieces by the demon-subduing formation wriggled in the air.
A crying and howling sound came from the blood mist, and the blood mist rolled over, trying to condense into shape again.
In the past few days, some of the elite imperial guards that Le Wu had transferred to the General's Mansion were devoured by him using the secret techniques of the Blood River Sect and transformed into his own cultivation. Another part was tempered by him using the evil techniques of the Blood River Sect, destroying most of their minds and turning them into blood puppets of the Blood River Sect.
These blood puppets can be reborn with a drop of blood even if they are reduced to pieces, as long as their master is not dead.
However, Ah Hu and his men used the Dharma to form a formation, which was the nemesis of these evil magics. The blood mist rolled for a while, and a ball of golden flame appeared out of thin air. Then, there were continuous shrill howls, and the blood mist burned rapidly, and soon turned into wisps of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.
Inside the Fuyao Palace, Le Wu's expression suddenly changed.
He looked outside the hall and saw that more and more Yulin soldiers were rushing up to the door of the hall, densely filling the area outside the hall as far as he could see.
His imperial guards were chopped up easily like little pigs, and were kicked and tumbled down the towering steps.
Le Wu screamed: "What..."
Yin Yuan kicked Li Zi several more times, then panted, bent over, put his hands on his knees and laughed: "It seems that the general's imperial guards are useless!"
Shaking his head and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Yin Yuan straightened his waist, straightened his expression, and said in a cold voice: "Okay, the farce can end... I just want to ask one thing, I am the Great Yin Emperor, who dares to make me abdicate? You? You? Or you?"
Yinyuan pointed at Zhu Chong and others present and asked them one by one.
"Grand Historian Lu is here. You are bullying the emperor. You can find any excuse to accuse him. As a minister, you force the emperor to abdicate... Hehe, a thousand years later, you will be accused of being traitors!"
Zhu Chong and others' faces turned black, and they looked at Lu Buyai and others who were writing quickly.
Zhu Chong said in a hoarse voice: "Old historian, what we did today..."
Lu Buyai slowly raised his head and said, "What I saw and heard today... I, a disciple of the historian family, never make any comments. I only make the most honest records and will never make any biased remarks... Please rest assured about this."
Zhu Chong and others looked even uglier, and they even forgot that their cheeks were bruised by Yin Yuan's slap.
What they did today was just as Yinyuan said, that is, a group of ministers conspired to overthrow the emperor who had the legitimate right of succession... Regardless of whether Lu Buya's record was exaggerated or not, in short, in future history books, today's incident will not be decent, and many of them will inevitably be criticized as traitors by future generations.
Behind the pearl curtain, Empress Dowager Le walked out slowly.
She looked at the messy Fuyao Palace and said calmly, "That's enough, Yinyuan, you've made enough trouble... The ministers are also doing this for the country and the people, with good intentions... They don't have the power to make you abdicate, do I have the power?"
Holding the seal of the Dayin Empire, Empress Dowager Le slowly sat down on the throne that originally belonged to Yinyuan.
Lu Buyai was stunned, looked at the empress dowager sitting on the throne, lowered his head and wrote quickly.
"I am the Queen Mother... and I, together with the late Emperor, rule the world together. You are an unjust emperor, and others cannot depose you, but I can."
Le's eyes were filled with murderous intent as she stared at Yin Yuan, Lu Yi, and Yu Chang Le sternly: "Could it be that you still want to disobey me, your mother?"
Yinyuan tilted his head and stared at Le in a daze.
Lu Yi whispered: "I said, in this world, there is a kind of woman called the brother-supporting demon..."
Yin Yuan nodded slowly: "Since the Queen Mother is so determined, from the perspective of law and ethics, she is indeed qualified to depose me, the emperor who is ruling from behind the scenes... So, I agree... But..."
Yin Yuan clapped his hands vigorously: "Today's matter is not up to you, Queen Mother, to decide alone."
As Yin Yuan applauded, the Yulin Army outside the door made a loud noise, and the elite troops made way for a path. Ah Hu and his men surrounded several large sedan chairs and quickly came to the door of Fuyao Palace, carrying the sedan chairs into the hall.
The Queen Mother and Le Wu were both shocked: "What are you going to do?"
