Chapter 1331 Death of Liu Zixing, the Master of Palace Coup

In the palace, Liu Zixing came to Zhao Teng's bedroom.

Although Zhao Teng was a servant, he colluded with the general Liu Yuan and held the emperor hostage to command the princes. He was extremely powerful. Even in the palace, he could rule the sky with one hand.

A eunuch has a huge palace compound, guards and maids to protect him, and his treatment is no worse than that of the emperor.

It was rare in ancient times that he could reach his current status as a chamberlain eunuch.

It is precisely because of this that in the past two years, Zhao Teng has been so proud that even the emperor does not look down on him, and he is very arrogant and domineering.

Liu Zixing, who was already prepared, took Meng Luan to Zhao Teng's palace and prepared to assassinate Zhao Teng.

In order to paralyze Zhao Teng, he kept his attitude extremely low, said all kinds of nice things, and even squatted down to wash Zhao Teng's feet, which greatly satisfied Zhao Teng's vanity.

Regardless of whether Liu Zixing has power or not, he is still the prince in name, the King of Guangling, a dignified royal family, and he is groveling to wash his own feet. How can Zhao Teng not be proud and arrogant.

But just as he was enjoying himself, Liu Zixing's face turned fierce, and he suddenly pushed him down on the bed, and covered his mouth and nose with a footcloth, trying to cover him to death.

Zhao Teng was an eunuch. Even though his physical strength was not as good as before after years of pampering, he was still more powerful than the sick Liu Zixing, struggling crazily.

Liu Zixing tried his best, and seeing Zhao Teng struggling more and more fiercely, he shouted at the four palace ladies around him who were already frightened.

"Nanchen Wang's army is already outside Zhongzhou City. Come and help if you want to survive. Hurry."

The four frightened palace maids hesitated for a moment after hearing Liu Zixing's words, and then they all rushed forward to help hold Zhao Teng down.

Although they were the maids of Zhao Teng's palace, Zhao Teng was domineering and vicious, and he often abused and tortured them, so they only hesitated for a few breaths and immediately helped Liu Zixing.

With the help of four fresh troops, Liu Zixing suddenly felt much more relaxed. Zhao Teng struggled wildly for a few times, but was unable to break free at all. The suffocation caused his strength to disappear quickly, and his eyes began to turn white.

After a while, Zhao Teng no longer had the strength to struggle, and his body slowly softened, but Liu Zixing and the others still did not relax, and continued to exert force with ferocious expressions.

It wasn't until a long time later that Liu Zixing saw that Zhao Teng was no longer breathing, that his body softened and he sat down on the bed.

The four palace maids were also frightened to death, and their bodies fell limply to the ground.

Liu Zixing gasped, looking at Zhao Teng who was already dead and could no longer die, he still felt his whole body trembling and his arms shaking.

This was the first time that he personally killed someone, and the person he killed was Zhao Teng, who could cover the sky with one hand. How could he not be scared or nervous in his heart? If it weren't for the Nanchen King's army that gave him the confidence to kill him, he wouldn't have dared to do it. Such a thing.

After a while, he calmed down, stood up slowly, told the four palace ladies to keep an eye on this place, tidy up his clothes, and then walked out of the palace.

As soon as he walked out, Meng Luan, who was waiting outside, called out worriedly: "Your Highness."

Liu Zixing looked straight and said with a proud tone: "The eunuch Zhao Teng has confessed his crime and committed suicide."

Upon hearing this, the four guards guarding the door immediately drew their sabers and pointed them at Liu Zixing, shocking Liu Zixing.

"Zhao Teng is already dead, who are you still fighting for? Why don't you commit suicide on the spot."

But he overestimated his ability and his eloquence.

The four guards shouted: "Kill him and escape, so that we can survive."

After saying that, the man who shouted picked up his sword and slashed at Liu Zixing.

The frail Liu Zixing, who still had no trace of the princely demeanor, was so frightened that he hurriedly backed away and bumped into the door.

Seeing that the blade was about to fall on Liu Zixing, Meng Luan shouted, rushed over and stood in front of Liu Zixing, and slashed his back with two long knives.

"Whoa, whoa!"

Meng Luan screamed and fell on Liu Zixing's body. Liu Zixing was shocked and angry.

"Meng Luan."

But the four guards didn't care about their misery and raised their swords again. Meng Luan ignored the pain and protected Liu Zixing again.

"Your Highness, be careful."

After just a few blows, Meng Luan no longer had any strength and fell softly. Liu Zixing couldn't hold him back.

"Kill him quickly, we will be in trouble when the Guards come."

One of them kicked Meng Luan aside and lifted Liu Zixing over.

Liu Zixing shouted in horror: "You can't kill me. I am the crown prince and King Guangling. The Nanchen King's army is already outside Zhongzhou City and has surrendered secretly..."

"Pfft!"

His answer was a knife stabbed directly into his stomach, making his eyes widen in vain.

"puff!"

Another stab, and then the guard threw him to the ground.

"withdraw."

The four people hurriedly prepared to escape, but before they could run a few steps, a group of black-armored soldiers suddenly rushed over and surrounded them.

Zhou Tianxing took the lead and shouted: "Prince Xiao Nanchen's order is here, why don't you lie down on the spot?"

Seeing so many people, the faces of the four guards became ugly. One of them shouted: "We killed King Guangling. Surrendering means death. Fight them."

After saying that, the four of them raised their swords and attacked King Nanchen's army.

They had no choice. If they hadn't killed Liu Zixing, maybe there would be a way to survive. But the problem was that they had just killed Liu Zixing. All fools knew that there would be no way to survive by surrendering. It was better to fight to the death, and maybe there was still a chance of survival. sex.

"court death!"

Zhou Tianxing's eyes flashed with coldness, and he shouted: "Kill!"

In fact, even if they did not resist, he could not leave them alive. After all, it was related to the master's mission, and there must be no mistakes.

Although these four guards were skilled in martial arts, they were no match for a team of Nanchen King's army. In just a moment, they were killed.

Zhou Tianxing walked quickly towards Liu Zixing and Meng Luan who were lying in a pool of blood. Meng Luan had no breath, his eyes were wide open, and he died with his eyes open.

But to his surprise, Liu Zixing was not dead yet. When he walked over, Liu Zixing actually reached out and grabbed him.

"Save, save me."

Zhou Tianxing frowned slightly and said softly: "Don't worry, King Guangling, I will go to find the imperial physician now."

King Guangling held his breath, and when he heard Zhou Tianxing's words, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, but the next moment, his expression froze instantly, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhou Tianxing in disbelief, and then he lost all his strength and breath.

"Leave some people here to guard the place, and do not allow anyone to enter or leave. The rest of you, follow me to rescue the emperor."

At the same time, on a street near the palace, Liu Yuan was leading a group of men, preparing to enter the palace, because Liu Zixing used Zhao Teng's hand to convey the news of entering the palace to him, so he led people to the palace overnight.

But just as they were about to arrive at the palace, a group of masked men suddenly rushed out from both sides of the road, dozens of them, and surrounded them.

Although surrounded, Liu Yuan did not show panic, but shouted coldly: "Who are you? Do you know who I am? I am the general of the dynasty. Dare to kill me, aren't you afraid of being exterminated?"

But Xie Yun and Feng Qiao, who led the masked group, did not answer her at all. They just waved their hands, and everyone immediately swarmed up. Even if Liu Yuan and his men fought with all their strength, the gap in strength was too obvious. After a while, all his men were killed, and he himself was captured.

Late at night, Zhou Chen did not rest, but waited for news.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Yun came back first and told him that General Liu Yuan had been captured, and no one found out that it was their doing.

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Well, keep an eye on him and don't let anyone get in touch with him."

"Yes, Master."

Shortly after Xie Yun left, the person Zhou Tianxing sent back to report the news also brought the news to Zhou Chen.

When Zhou Chen heard the messenger say that the matter had been settled, he was not surprised.

Zhou Tianxing led a team of Nanchen Wangjun into the palace, and he had another order. If Liu Zixing could not be eliminated, then there would be a problem.

Although he did not care about Liu Zixing, his death would undoubtedly save a lot of trouble. At least Shi Yi could be liberated, and he would not be able to do anything wrong in the future.

After receiving the news, he fell asleep peacefully. He would go to the palace to see the little emperor tomorrow, and by the way, see if there was a chance to solve the problem of Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen.

The next day, the ministers went to court, but they were told to adjourn the court, which made them leave the palace very dissatisfied.

But as soon as these ministers left the palace, they met the people of the Yi family. They were invited by Yi Sanniang to the Yi Mansion in the city, and they also met the former Taifu Yi Guang who had resigned.

Yi Guang's prestige was indeed not weak, and coupled with the name of the Yi family, it really intimidated a group of officials headed by Prime Minister Liu Wei.

Without mentioning the Yi Mansion, the conversation between Yi Guang and the ministers, Zhou Chen had already arrived at the palace.

The palace had been taken over by the Nanchen King's army for the most part at this time. As for Emperor Liu Hui, he was locked in his own bedroom, alone, and no one could enter.

Zhou Chen came to the bedroom of Emperor Liu Hui.

Liu Hui had been afraid since last night, because he had discussed it with Liu Zixing, but after a night, there was still no news. Being cowardly by nature, he did not dare to go outside to inquire, and only wanted to hide and lock himself up.

After such a long time, there was still no news. He couldn't help but be afraid. He scared himself and curled up in front of the bed and cried without any image.

When Zhou Chen walked into the bedroom, he happened to see Liu Hui crying, which made him speechless.

It is said that the emperor is the supreme ruler of the world, dominating the world, and his words determine life and death, but Liu Hui in front of him is so cowardly that he was bullied by eunuchs, officials, and even the queen mother later. He had a chance to turn the tables, but because of his kindness, he lost his life.

It has to be said that this little emperor Liu Hui is really a shame among emperors and is extremely cowardly.

Maybe some people think he is kind, but is he really kind? He can do well, but for various reasons, he killed more people. He is not kind, but stupid and cowardly.

But, what does this have to do with him?

He didn't want to be an emperor, and he had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. For him, a cowardly and incompetent emperor was better than a shrewd and capable emperor who couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes.

So he didn't mind letting Liu Hui continue to be the emperor. He just wanted to live his life in Xizhou in peace and stability, teaching the times, playing the piano, and riding horses every day. Isn't it more comfortable than being an emperor with endless things to deal with every day?

When Liu Hui saw Zhou Chen approaching, his body trembled even more, and he didn't have the style of a king emperor at all.

But Liu Hui was only about fourteen years old, and he was actually still a teenager. He had experienced many dangers since he was a child, so it was normal for him to be afraid.

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor, you shouldn't cry."

Liu Hui asked with a trembling voice: "Did the emperor kill Zhao Teng?"

Zhou Chen said: "No, Zhao Teng died of illness, but King Guangling was killed by Zhao Teng's guards, and my people had no time to save him."

"Brother Emperor is dead?"

Liu Hui looked frightened, and then asked: "What about Liu Yuan?"

Zhou Chen said: "Liu Yuan pleads guilty and has resigned from military power."

"Then, then I, will I die today too?"

"How could it be? Your Majesty is the emperor and will govern the world from now on."

Liu Hui's eyes flashed: "Uncle Emperor, won't you kill me?"

Zhou Chen chuckled and said: "I am your Majesty's minister, how dare you kill your Majesty? I did not bring any weapons into the palace today, I only brought the wooden sword given by your Majesty."

As he spoke, he showed the wooden sword, and Liu Hui took it in disbelief.

"Uncle Emperor."

Zhou Chen said: "Your Majesty, I am your imperial uncle. To me, you are more important than the throne, so I will never hurt you, nor will I let others hurt you."

When Liu Hui heard this, he burst into tears of gratitude and shouted excitedly: "Uncle Emperor."

With Zhou Chen's words, he was completely relieved. Since he became the emperor at the age of six, he has been a puppet and has never enjoyed the real power of the emperor.

But at this moment, with the support of King Xiao Nanchen, he was not only relieved, but also felt a strong sense of heroism in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Teng is dead and Liu Yuan is imprisoned. From now on, no one in the court can threaten your Majesty. Please take the world as your own responsibility and be a good emperor for the country and the people."

Liu Hui replied solemnly: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely live up to his teachings."

As soon as Zhou Chen and Liu Hui finished talking, the imperial guards brought the rescued Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen to the palace.

When Qi Zhenzhen saw Zhou Chen, he wanted to thank Zhou Chen with excitement, but was stopped by Zhou Chen. Then Qi Zhenzhen pretended to shed tears of gratitude and looked like I had been greatly wronged, which made Emperor Liu Hui say something again. Kneel down and beg for forgiveness.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chen was truly speechless. With such an emperor, the country of Beichen was really in danger.

He has watched the entire TV series Zhou Shengru, and he really found it funny about the palace battles in this drama, from the emperor to the queen mother, to the prince, eunuchs, etc.

With their level of palace fighting, if they were put into the "The Legend of Zhen Huan", they probably wouldn't survive even one episode.

Zhou Chen also came and acted out the scene of deep love between mother and son, hugging each other and crying with their mother and son. After finding an excuse, he left the emperor's palace and started walking around the palace.

Zhongzhou is the capital and the ancient capital of several dynasties. The palace in Beichen is also quite majestic and magnificent. However, after some changes in the palace last night and today, there are obviously fewer people in the palace.

Zhou Chen walked and came to a familiar palace. This was the palace where his predecessor and the late emperor often stayed together. It was extremely impressive in his memory.

But before he could say a few words of emotion, Yu Shiyi, who had been thinking about him, hurried over and stood panting in front of him, with nothing else in his eyes except him.
