Chapter 250 Palace Change
After Qi Shuo dealt with military affairs, he returned to the general's mansion. However, this time he could not stay long as he had some things to take care of.
"You're back?" Cheng Wenwen was watering the fruits and vegetables in the yard. When she heard Qi Shuo returning, she went to greet him with a smile.
"Yes! I'm back!" Qi Shuo nodded.
Cheng Wenwen asked, "Have you finished dealing with the military affairs?"
Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and she thought it would be better for the family to stay together.
Qi Shuo said, "Almost done! But there are still some things to do later, so I have to go back tomorrow."
Cheng Wenwen nodded: "Okay! Then you go and get busy. I will take care of the things at home. You don't have to worry."
It seems that Qi Shuo has been really busy recently, and Cheng Wenwen also understands.
"Wenwen, I have something to tell you!" Qi Shuo pulled her in and spoke.
Cheng Wenwen was a little confused and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?"
"The situation in the army has been a bit unstable these days. I want you to take the children and go out for some shelter." Qi Shuo said seriously.
Cheng Wenwen immediately sensed danger and pulled Qi Shuo to ask, "What happened? Is it serious?"
If Qi Shuo's identity were discovered, it would be a serious crime.
"Emperor, I'm afraid you can't tolerate my uncle anymore. He will definitely take action in the near future. I'm afraid you will be implicated." Qi Shuo said.
"What about you? If something really happens, what will you do?" Cheng Wenwen asked worriedly.
"Don't worry too much. My uncle and I are not people who can be easily bullied. We still have many of our people in the capital. If a fight really breaks out, it's hard to say who will die!" Qi Shuo said.
Cheng Wenwen finally saw the bloodiness in Qi Shuo's eyes.
He was destined to not be able to endure humiliation and bury his head for the rest of his life. Even if he wanted to, those people above him would not let him go.
It can be seen that power is dazzling.
"Okay! I'll take the kids out, you guys be careful." Although Cheng Wenwen liked Qi Shuo, she didn't want to die for him! It's better to live, and let them solve their own disputes.
But she still hoped that Qi Shuo could survive.
"I have already arranged everything. You don't have to worry. Just follow my people! Come back when everything is done." Qi Shuo instructed.
"okay, I get it!"
Just like that, Cheng Wenwen took Qi Xing and Qi Qi, packed up their things, and quietly left the general's mansion overnight.
Cheng Wenwen looked at Qi Shuo who was seeing her off behind her and was still worried.
Qi Shuo was naturally reluctant to let them go, but he had to deal with all the harm and disputes for them and let himself bear it alone.
…………
In the Great Sheng Dynasty, the game of power was carried out quietly.
In the deep inner court of the palace, when the morning sun was still childish, a cold voice pierced through the silent palace corridors.
Emperor Li Tang summoned his trusted officials and said, "The imperial family is like a pine tree standing in the Central Plains. Without majesty, how can it be feared by all directions? The Duke of Ying who guards the border treats me like a tiger or a leopard. Isn't that contempt for the majesty of heaven?"
At this moment, the emperor was blinded by power and his heart was tense. In the far northwest, there stood a famous British duke.
He was mighty and brave, and became a hero admired by the people of the world. But now, because of the fear of the imperial power, he has become a thorn in the emperor's side.
The emperor's fierce gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing through the dust on the palace wall and pointing directly to the northwest border.
He had endured it for twenty years and didn't want to let this hidden danger remain buried any longer. He was going to take action.
…………
At the same time, above the silent wilderness, the Duke of England stared at the sky, with a strange light flashing in his deep eyes.
It's not that he didn't know the emperor's fear, but he had his own perseverance and faith. He knew that his responsibility was heavy, and he was willing to give everything for the peace of the country and the well-being of the people.
But he certainly couldn't tolerate the emperor forcing him like this.
"Duke, there is a letter from the capital." The subordinate handed a letter to the Duke of England.
This came from the capital, but it was not sent by the British public.
When the Duke of England opened the letter, he was a little surprised. The letter was from... Li Zhi, the son of Crown Prince Myeongjhao.
As the son of the first deposed crown prince, Li Zhi had been imprisoned for many years. Although he was unknown during these years, he had already made some plans behind the scenes.
In the past, the Duke of England took the overall situation into consideration and was unwilling to raise an army to let the people suffer, but now it is different. People have forced him to this point and he has to fight back.
Besides, now that we have more chips, the chances of success or failure are much greater.
There was a plan in the Duke of England's eyes.
……
This depressing atmosphere also touched the former residence of the deposed crown prince. It was once the center of imperial power, but now it has been marginalized.
Li Zhi has now gotten rid of his youthful stupidity and his figure has suddenly become taller.
This house is filled with the smell of blood tonight.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me! Spare my life, Prince!"
All those who had bullied Li Zhi in the past were killed one by one by him. Now there was the last one, and Li Zhi did not hesitate to pick up the knife and kill him.
"Your Highness, everything in the palace has been arranged. Reinforcements have been quietly sent from the northwest. Now we just have to wait for an opportunity." The palace servant hiding beside him spoke excitedly.
Finally, they no longer have to live under the yoke of others. They can finally restore their orthodoxy and take back that position.
Li Zhi dropped the sword in his hand and a strange smile appeared on his gloomy face.
He knew very well how ruthless the emperor was. To seize the throne, he had to be even more ruthless. He was willing to give up everything. After all, as long as he could seize the supreme power, what else could he not get?
As night fell, the sky covered the earth like a black curtain. In that mysterious corner, the former deposed prince and the Duke of England sat side by side. They discussed and deliberated. The stars that night seemed to shine in their decision. They put aside the struggle for royal power in the past and rebelled only for the peace of the country and the well-being of the people.
Their actions were like lightning in the dark night, instantly illuminating the entire palace. They united and challenged the imperial power with a thunderous force.
"There's an assassin! Protect His Majesty!"
"Who is it? Who wants to harm me?"
That night, the imperial city suddenly fell into chaos, catching Li Tang off guard.
He didn't know why, but before he could kill anyone else, others started trying to kill him.
He wanted people to resist, but their army outside was sweeping in like a storm, unstoppable.
In this power struggle, he lost, but the people outside won, and there were cheers and shouts of anger and scolding.
Finally, one morning, people outside overthrew the ruthless emperor Li Tang.
Li Tang's face was dejected, and his eyes were full of sadness and fear.
Suddenly, the door of the hall was kicked open, and dazzling light shone in, making Li Tang unable to open his eyes for a moment. However, when he squinted slightly, he could see a person walking in.
The man was covered in blood, and the long sword in his hand was dragging on the ground, making a crackling sound, which really frightened Li Tang.
