Sun Zhijie personally led the team, a whole guard battalion with rifles on their shoulders and revolvers in their waists. They attacked the inner palace in a mighty manner!

After passing the Jiaotai Hall of the Qianqing Palace, we turned a corner and entered the West Sixth Palace. From a distance, we could see the torches at the entrance of the Zhongcui Palace. Rows of soldiers loaded with live ammunition, their eyes scanning the surroundings like eagles. Li Xiao made a rough estimate. Suddenly, I'm afraid there won't be more than one battalion of soldiers. I allocated a total of two battalions to Li Yongfang, and half of the troops are here. It seems like something big has happened.

After entering Zhongcui Palace, Li Yongfang led everyone into an inconspicuous house. There was a huge hole on the ground, which was dark inside. The steps could be seen by the light of the torch. The entrance of the hole was guarded by five fully armed soldiers. , saluted immediately after seeing Li Xiao.

"What is this?" The West Sixth Palace of the Forbidden City in later generations was never open to the public, and it was inconvenient for him to come when the emperor was there. This was Li Xiao's first time entering the West Sixth Palace!

"Commander! Is this the entrance to the underground palace?" Li Yongfang replied respectfully.

"Underground Palace!" Li Xiao, Zhang Huangyan, and Sun Chengzong looked at each other.

Everyone has heard that there is an underground palace in the Forbidden City, but as a foreign minister, no one has actually seen it. Now that they see the entrance to the underground palace, everyone feels a little curious. What the old foxes are thinking is why Li Yongfang put a few of himself Bring it here.

"My subordinates finally found this place after nearly a year of careful arrangements. As long as a few adults enter, they will know the reasons for the recent events in the capital." Li Yongfang bowed.

No one spoke or moved.

These three people can be said to be the absolute core of the current Ming Dynasty regime. If something happens to the three of them, it will definitely be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty. Although the cave entrance can allow three people to walk in side by side, who knows what's inside because of the darkness? What's there.

"Li Yongfang, what are you doing?" Sun Chengzong frowned and asked.

"Replying to Mr. Sun, this matter is too weird and bizarre. You won't believe it if I tell you. You will only believe it if you see it in person. In addition, the man below swears to death and will not come up. He said that if he is forced to come up, , you will kill yourself by chewing your tongue. I know that chewing your tongue will not kill you, but after all, it is inconvenient to ask questions. So... I can only ask three adults to condescend to see you." Li Yongfang looked embarrassed.

"Who is it that the three of us are allowed to meet with such a great talent?" Zhang Huangyan was a little displeased. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, or in other words, the world, there is no one who has this qualification.

"Uh...! You don't believe what I said, but I will know it when I meet you." Li Yongfang looked embarrassed.

"Forget it! I'll go down and take a look." Li Xiao was about to leave. He still believed in Li Yongfang. He would not hurt anyone. He had taken refuge with Nurhaci back then, and he was still labeled as a traitor. From time to time, someone would come up with something to talk about. If Li Xiao hadn't kept it safe, Li Yongfang's head would have been hung on the city wall waiting to be dried.

Harming Li Xiao is equivalent to harming himself.

"Brother!" Li Xiu stopped him with his hands and winked at the scar beside him.

"Brother, I'll go down first." Li Xiu pulled out his revolver and stared at Li Yongfang.

"I'm here to take you down with me!" Li Yongfang cupped his hands and led the way. Scar held the revolver in both hands, and the muzzles of both guns were pointed at Li Yongfang's back. As long as there was the slightest mistake, Li Yongfang's back would immediately It will be full of holes.

Li Xiu opened the safety of the revolver and walked down behind Scar.

It was dark all around, and the steps under our feet gradually went downwards. Every three steps, there would be a soldier holding a revolver standing guard. The steps continued, and after walking down a dozen steps, they encountered a turn. Then they continued going down.

!

After walking another twenty steps, I finally reached the point where my feet finally touched the ground and there were no more steps.

"Second Master! Let's go this way." There seems to be a hall-like place below. Five or six soldiers carry revolvers and light torches to patrol. There are also torches on the surrounding walls, and there is a brazier in the middle. Although this is

Even though it's underground, it's also brightly illuminated.

He turned to the left and pushed open a stone door. Li Xiu saw a long corridor, which was so dark that he didn't know where it led.

"Second Master, this way." Li Yongfang pushed open another stone door and went around in circles. Just when Li Xiu was dizzy, Li Yongfang stopped: "Second Master! We're here."

Li Yongfang pushed open the stone door, and by the light of the torch, Li Xiao saw the people inside, and was immediately shocked from ear to ear.

"He is...!"

Scar ran up in a hurry and reported to Li Xiao out of breath: "Commander...Commander, please go down. I will lead the way."

Li Xiao, who was waiting impatiently, heard this and immediately followed Scar down the stairs. Sun Chengzong immediately followed Li Xiao, and Sun Zhijie followed his grandfather like a conjoined twin. Zhang Huangyan hesitated for a moment and followed suit.

After the same twists and turns, the corridor was already filled with soldiers.

Li Xiao, Sun Chengzong and Zhang Huangyan saw Li Xiu, who was whispering something to Li Yongfang. Seeing Li Xiao and the others coming, they pushed open the mysterious stone door without saying a word.

The stone room was brightly lit, with a chair in the middle and a person sitting on it. Even though Sun Chengzong was such a calm person, when he saw the person sitting there, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. Li Xiao even felt his jaw drop.

When it fell to the ground, Zhang Huangyan even pulled out a strand of his beard without realizing it.

The person sitting on the chair is none other than Longwu Emperor Zhu Yihai, who should be lying in Zi Palace.

"This is...!" Li Xiao looked at Li Yongfang in surprise, pointed at Zhu Yihai and was speechless.

"Commander, you'd better ask yourself." Li Yongfang smiled proudly.

"Hmph!" Sun Chengzong said "hum" and walked into the stone room first.

As an old fox who became a spirit, after experiencing the shock just now, he immediately understood what happened. It turned out that the source of so many things that happened was actually underground in the Forbidden City.

Sun Zhijie had someone find a chair and personally moved it behind Sun Chengzong to let him sit down.

Sun Chengzong sat down awkwardly, staring at Zhu Yihai. Someone moved chairs, and Li Xiao and Zhang Huangyan also sat down respectively. Although there were more than twenty people standing in the large stone room, there was no sound at all. They were so shocked.

Hear the heartbeat.

"Everyone, get out!" Sun Chengzong shouted coldly, and the guards retreated like a tide.

"You also get out!" Sun Chengzong glanced at Sun Zhijie, who was standing like a nail behind him, and pointed at the stone door.

"Grandpa...!" Sun Zhijie hesitated for a moment, Sun Chengzong was the hope of the Sun family.

"Get out!" Sun Chengzong shouted sharply, and Sun Zhijie immediately got out.

Li Xiao patted Li Xiu on the back and waved. Li Xiu glanced around and finally withdrew.

The stone door was closed, and only four people, Zhu Yihai, Li Xiao, Sun Chengzong, and Zhang Huangyan, were left in the stone chamber.

"Tell me, why do you do this?" Sun Chengzong's face was so dark that he could almost squeeze out water.

"Ask him!" Zhu Yihai pointed at Li Xiao and said fiercely. If his hands were not handcuffed tightly to the armrests of the chair, he would have wanted to jump up and strangle Li Xiao to death.

"I am a descendant of Emperor Gaozu, a member of the royal family of Tianhuang noble family. I actually have to succumb to him and can only be an emperor. What kind of thing are you, Li Xiao? My ancestor has not even been able to raise a person in eight lifetimes. You are just a mud-legged man from Liaodong.

, you can also have five people and six people in front of me. I just don’t accept it! I’m going to kill you, I’m going to kill you.” Zhu Yihai sat on the chair and jumped, and the chair jumped up and down with him, looking very excited.

"So! You thought of a way to fake your death and let Yao Mengxi make trouble outside. Your wishful thinking was to wait for the governors from all over the country to come to Beijing, and then you suddenly appeared and united with the governors from all over the country to destroy me. And..., you

I have already contacted the governors of several places to support you.

Maybe...! You also contacted the Mongols." Li Xiaoyun looked at the furious Zhu Yihai calmly, as if watching a clown dancing.

"Hmph! There are hundreds of thousands of troops from Mongolia's Batur Hutaiji outside, and there are governors from the five provinces south of the Yangtze River inside. You, Li Xiao, can't fly with your wings, what a pity! It's not secret, and your eagle dog sniffed this place.

.Li Xiao, if he is a man, leave it to me..."

"Bang!" Li Xiao kicked Zhu Yihai in the chest, and kicked Zhu Yihai and the chair out. The chair hit the wall and immediately fell apart. The door of the stone room was knocked open, and Li Xiu raised his gun.

Rush in.

"Get out!" Li Xiao shouted, and the stone door immediately closed again.

Li Xiao walked toward Zhu Yihai step by step, his eyes as fierce as a hungry wolf. Blood flowed from the corner of Zhu Yihai's mouth, and he lay on the ground and moved step by step.

"Do you know where this is? This is the capital city. The capital city was designated by Emperor Yongle himself. At the same time, he left behind the ancestral precept that the emperor guards the gate of the country and the king dies in the country. Who is the emperor guarding the gate of the country? The Mongols! Emperor Yongle and the Mongols

After a lifetime of fighting, how could I give birth to such an unfilial descendant like you?

Bang!" Li Xiao kicked Zhu Yihai in the stomach. Zhu Yihai screamed and hunched up like a shrimp.

"Do you know how many people on the Gansu front line have their heads tied to their belts now? They don't know when a cannonball will fall from the sky and kill them. They are my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, they have families, and they are sons

, husband, father. Do you know how many families will be broken up if they die?

Bastard! It’s okay if you hate me, Li Xiao. You just found some Yao Mengxi and a few governors, and I won’t do anything to you. But do you know, if the Mongolian army breaks through Gansu, what does the Shaanxi defense line mean to our Ming Dynasty?

How many people will die violently, and how many people will have their families broken up. The gray-haired old mother comes to me asking for a son, the crying woman asks me for a husband, and the baby grabs my legs and asks me for a father. You fucking know that is

What does it feel like?

You are a bastard who colluded with the Mongols and forgot your ancestors. You are not worthy of being a descendant of the Zhu family." Li Xiao kicked Zhu Yihai one after another. Zhu Yihai was hunched over and screamed repeatedly as he was kicked by Li Xiao.

"Okay!" Sun Chengzong coughed and said something to stop Li Xiao. If he continued like this, he would beat Zhu Yihai to death.

Li Xiao returned to his seat and sat down, panting and staring fiercely at Zhu Yihai, as if he was ready to pounce at any time and beat the bastard again.

"Let's talk about it! Now that things have reached this point, what should we do?" Zhang Huangyan spread his hands.

The dead Emperor Daxing was lying in the Zi Palace. Suddenly, he was lying in front of him with his hair disheveled and wailing. Zhang Huangyan was made a little helpless by the scene in front of him. Even though he was extremely witty, he could not have imagined how the matter in front of him should go.

Aftermath.

The obituary notice was sent out three days ago, and now even the people in Jiangnan know about it. Now you tell the people, go to sleep, the emperor is alive and well, he just pretended to die as a joke?

The emperor cheated his death! I have never heard of such a thing after looking through the Twenty-Four Histories.

This is simply...the most ridiculous thing in the world!

Besides, even if you tell the truth, will the people believe it? Only a devil will believe you in this matter.

How to deal with this emperor who faked his death and came back to life has become the most difficult thing. Even more troublesome than the Donglin Party members kneeling outside.

Li Xiao didn't say anything, and he didn't know what to do. Although he wanted to strangle this bastard to death, his reason told Li Xiao that impulse is the devil.

Sun Chengzong glanced hatefully at Zhu Yihai, who was hunched over and groaning on the ground!

Once upon a time, he wanted to ensure that this man ascended the throne smoothly. With the help of the Ming Dynasty's growing national power, he helped him become a wise king. He also gained a reputation as a wise minister, and after his death, he will be remembered for eternity.

But looking at it now, it is really too much mud to cover the wall. I will get married next year. After getting married, I can take over the supreme power of the country in a clear and justifiable way. By then, I will have my name and righteousness in hand, and there is nothing I can do. But now is the time to make trouble

Now, do you think that with a few Donglin Party members and a few governors from the south, we can bring down Li Xiao, who fought through hundreds of battles?

Li Xiao once said that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Sun Chengzong believed it so much that he once told Zhu Yihai specifically about it when he was giving a lecture. But the silly boy in front of him probably didn't listen to a word of it.

Now that the situation has reached this point, it can be regarded as his own fault.

No one spoke. Li Xiao had not thought about how to deal with Zhu Yihai. Don't expect an old fox like Zhang Huangyan to speak about this kind of thing. It is enough to be able to sit here peacefully and not have a stroke or coma immediately.

"Cough...!" Sun Chengzong coughed lightly, it seemed that he was the only one who could speak.

"The person who untied the bell must also tie the bell. Since he is responsible for the outside affairs, let him handle it. Our Emperor, please stay here for the time being." After saying this, Sun Chengzong walked out.

Li Xiao and Zhang Huangyan looked at each other and could only follow them out.

People outside saw the three people filing out, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. The brave Sun Zhijie even slipped through the crack of the door to see how Zhu Yihai was beaten inside.

"Li Yongfang, follow me." Sun Chengzong raised his fingers at Li Yongfang.
Chapter completed!
