Chapter 2072 Armed martial law, taking over the capital
"what happened?"
Seeing the blood flowing all over the body of the guard, Li Chen didn't have time to hurt Chun Beiqiu and immediately asked.
"Your Highness, come into the palace and have a look. Zhang Biwu, together with the courtiers and several elders of the clan, is forcing the Queen to hand over power. The Crown Princess sent her to inform General Su at the Yulin Guards Camp in the suburbs.
We are on standby to take over the capital with arms, and now the situation is extremely critical, Your Highness!"
Li Chen became furious when he heard this and said sternly: "Then who is chasing you?"
"I don't know what I do. They are ruthless and their skills are extremely high. I am no match for them."
After the guard said his last words, he suddenly turned over and fell to the ground.
Xu Wei shouted and stepped forward to check, then raised his head and said to Li Chen: "Your Highness, he is dead."
Li Chen's eyes were as bright as lightning and he said: "Leave the two of them behind and take their bodies back to the East Palace to be placed in a safe place. Then we will search for their families and send them back to their hometown for a grand burial."
Looking at the two captured survivors, they obviously also knew Li Chen's identity from the conversation just now.
Unexpectedly, they were not afraid at all, but looked at Li Chen fiercely.
Before Li Chen could speak, the two of them groaned at the same time, and black and red blood oozed from the corners of their mouths.
Xu Wei's expression changed and he quickly went to pinch their jaws.
But it's too late.
Both of them died of anger.
"Your Highness, he died of poison."
Xu Wei's words were somewhat self-blaming and at the same time a little frightening.
This group of people is so ruthless, they are obviously death warriors deliberately cultivated by a certain force.
There are only a few people in the world who have the ability and capital to cultivate such loyal soldiers.
In a short period of time, Li Chen had already thought of countermeasures.
Now, it doesn't matter who these people are or who sent them.
What matters is solving the immediate crisis.
He knew Su Jinpa's temper very well. Even Su Jinpa had to send someone to send a message to Su Zhenting, which meant that the situation had reached a critical point.
And Su Zhenting is not in the mansion, but in the military camp in the suburbs, which also proves this point.
Without saying a word, Li Chen took off his jade pendant and threw it to a personal guard, saying: "Take my jade pendant and go to the Yulin Guards camp in the suburbs to deliver my decree, ordering Su Zhenting to immediately lead 10,000 Yulin Guards to take over everything in the capital.
At the city gate, from now on, the capital will be formally under armed martial law, and troops will be sent to guard the main roads. Another 3,000 people will be taken to the palace to await orders from me."
"I'm going to pass this imperial edict to all the yamen in the capital and the governor of the capital. From now on, all officers and soldiers will disarm and guard the yamen, and inform the people not to go to the streets. All the people will return home and not go out. All ministers in the court, regardless of their official positions
Regardless of the size of the yamen, you are not allowed to go out even half a step without my order, and you are not even allowed to get close to the palace. Anyone who disobeys the order will be handed over to the Yulin Guards to be executed."
"Inform Dongchang Chen Tong again, and all the Jin Yiwei in Beijing will take to the streets to assist the Yulin Guards in maintaining order."
At this critical moment, the only thing Li Chen can truly trust is the army.
Even Jin Yiwei had to step aside.
It's not that Li Chen doesn't trust Jin Yiwei, but that Jin Yiwei is too complicated and has never been cleaned. Li Chen is not completely sure who the people inside are and what their composition is. However, now is the time when any mistakes are absolutely not allowed to occur.
Therefore, Li Chen ordered the Yulin Guards to directly take over the situation in the capital, while the Jinyi Guards, who were originally more suitable for this matter, only assisted.
