Shen Peifang: You...
He could no longer utter another word.
Die with eyes open.
And Chen Mingxu never gave her any extra glances from beginning to end.
The Zichen Palace was in even greater chaos than before, and everyone was afraid that they would be the next target of an arrow.
At the same time, the secret guard with Shen Peifang was also shot dead.
The Zichen Palace was in chaos. Those who were afraid of death squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, trembling.
Those who are not afraid of life and death take a defensive posture to deal with hidden arrows.
Because he was the one who ordered Chen Peifang's death.
She knew too much and was coerced by others, so she deserved to die.
Emperor Xuantong dismissed the imperial guards, and Chen Mingxu looked sinisterly at Shen Peifang, who died with her eyes open.
It was only a matter of time before the truth was revealed before all the civil and military officials, but...
Emperor Xuantong...
Chen Mingxu suppressed the turbulent waves in his eyes, and when he raised his head, his eyes had regained clarity.
He wanted to see how Emperor Xuantong would deal with the situation that would follow.
How to clean up the mess?
Because of the memorial submitted by Deng Weiping, Emperor Xuantong changed his decision to eradicate the Marquis of Yongyi and others.
Emperor Xuantong nodded towards Deng Weiping almost indelibly.
Deng Weiping nodded in understanding and stepped forward. "Your Majesty, according to reliable information, the three kings of the east, west, and north have gathered their own troops and are attacking the capital. The virtuous king has the largest force."
"According to spies, the virtuous king has at least 100,000 private soldiers, and they march at the fastest speed. Surprisingly, the capital is only a hundred kilometers away."
"What?" Emperor Xuantong showed a surprised expression, thinking he had heard it wrong.
This is not what he and Deng Weiping were talking about!
"Your Majesty, I suggest that the capital be sealed off and troops be dispatched to establish a blockade. If the three kings are allowed to reunite in the capital, the city will be in danger!"
"I don't agree!" What a joke. All the troops have been taken away. Who will protect him?
But when he saw the military officer's displeasure, he immediately tried to justify himself, "Tell General Zheng to lead 20,000 soldiers to stop the rebels in the west."
"Order General Peng to mobilize 30,000 soldiers to stop the rebels in the east."
"Order General Liu to lead 50,000 soldiers to stop the traitorous King Xian."
General Liu's face turned pale as he argued, "Your Majesty, the virtuous king has at least 100,000 private soldiers. I believe that 50,000 soldiers against 100,000 private soldiers is like an egg against a rock."
He would rather say that he was sending his head to the wise king.
"The private soldiers of the wise king are nothing but bandits. How can they be compared with regular soldiers?" Emperor Xuantong refuted arrogantly.
"General Liu, are you afraid of death?" Emperor Xuantong threatened, and General Liu was so frightened that he crawled on the ground and said frankly that he didn't dare.
"Don't dare? If General Liu feels that he is not up to the task, then he will hand over the tiger talisman and his entire clan will be exiled to Lingnan."
General Liu was shocked. He had only stated the facts, but it brought disaster to his entire clan. Even if it meant death, he had no choice but to take on this task.
General Liu put his head on the ground to steady his shaking body, "Your Majesty, I am willing!"
If sacrificing one person could save the lives of his entire clan, he would die without regrets.
Once the imperial edict came out, how could he dare to disobey?
Suddenly, there was a chaotic noise outside, and Emperor Xuantong was about to get furious.
Suddenly, rice paper fell from the sky.
Without waiting for Emperor Xuantong and his court officials to react, the commander of the Imperial Guards rushed into the Purple Palace in panic. His face was pale and his eyes were filled with fear. "Your Majesty, the people outside the Suzaku Gate are crazy. They are actually smashing the Suzaku Gate and trying to break into the palace. We demand an explanation from Your Majesty."
"An explanation?" Emperor Xuantong's face turned blue with anger. "You ignorant and unworthy people, what explanation do you want?"
"Do they have the right to rebel?" Emperor Xuantong threw a token to the commander of the Imperial Guard.
"See this token and come to see me. This token is for you to use. No one shall disobey. Anyone who disobeys will be killed on the spot."
"You will lead the Royal Guards to suppress the rebellion. Anyone who disobeys your orders will be killed without mercy."
The commander of the Imperial Guard looked embarrassed, wanting to say something but not daring to.
The guard took the token with feigned embarrassment.
But... he stood aside and did not take any action.
Emperor Xuantong glared at him angrily and did not notice the strangeness of the court officials.
When he opened his mouth to scold him again, Chen Mingxu picked up the rice paper on the ground.
Handing it to Emperor Xuantong, "Your Majesty, please take a look at the rice paper that fell from the sky! Perhaps it can answer your questions. Even if the common people are charged with rebellion, they will still rush into the palace to ask the emperor for an explanation."
Emperor Xuantong's attention was finally drawn back, and he finally noticed the different embarrassed states of the court officials.
The eunuch took it tremblingly.
Emperor Xuantong: “…”
"This is nonsense, fabricated, and a false accusation..."
When Emperor Xuantong saw the charges against him, his face was full of contempt, but in order to demonstrate the dignity of the emperor, he was filled with righteous indignation and showed deep sorrow.
His expression changed only when he saw the two big words on the yellow cloth.
He looked at the two big characters in disbelief, and his hands holding the rice paper were shaking violently.
And these two words are "last will".
Bold cursive font.
This is the handwriting of the late Emperor Yuande.
Emperor Xuantong was horrified. He tore the rice paper into pieces, as if he was tearing up the contents inside the rice paper.
However, the entire Purple Palace is made of the same rice paper.
The contents on the rice paper were all evidence of Emperor Xuantong's crimes. The late emperor's strange "suicide", the disappearance of the third prince, and even the death of the patriotic hero Lu Zhan were all done by Emperor Xuantong when he was still the crown prince.
Also, the eight fires in the capital last night were planned and carried out by Emperor Xuantong and the Empress, and the testimony was made by Shen Peifang.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of Emperor Xuantong's crimes.
