Hold His Hand - Chapter 165
The capital, the palace.
The eunuchs in the palace came and went, cleaning up bloodstains everywhere in the palace.
A few days ago, the emperor invited some members of the royal family into the palace, and also found many palace maids to have fun together.
As a result, when they had been drinking for three rounds, Xie Chengze suddenly attacked, sent someone to guard the palace, and then wiped out the emperor and the people who had been entertained by the emperor, beheading them on the spot.
Xie Chengze strikes very decisively. He killed the emperor himself. At that time, he didn’t say a word of nonsense. The white knife went in and the red knife went out, and he killed people directly.
When the emperor died, his eyes were wide open and he couldn’t rest his eyes.
He probably never dreamed that Xie Chengze would kill him.
After killing all the members of the royal family at the banquet, Xie Chengze sent someone to announce the adult royal men who did not enter the palace into the palace and besieged them together.
At that time, some people found out that something was wrong, and they fled and started to resist, but they were all killed one by one, along with the guards who were loyal to the royal family.
There was almost a river of blood in the palace, but there were actually not too many people.
After Zhang Quan’s death, the eunuchs in the palace, headed by Xie Chengze, all listened to Xie Chengze’s orders. As for those palace maids… Before Xie Chengze started, there were palace maids conspiring to kill the emperor.
Such a big movement in the palace naturally attracted the attention of those noble families outside the palace.
Realizing that there was a palace change, those families couldn’t wait to leave the city.
The aristocratic families all live in the city, but they don’t have many people in the city, but the villages outside the city… Almost all of those aristocratic families have private soldiers!
But they can’t get out!
Xie Chengze sent troops to block all the city gates, and no one was allowed to leave.
In the past few years, the emperor has handed over a lot of military power to Xie Chengze, and Xie Chengze has raised many people in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing… With 20,000 horses in his hands, he can completely control the capital!
Early the next morning, the capital was divided into districts and guarded. Xie Chengze’s people also found some people in Beijing and went door-to-door to shout.
It is probably that the emperor is dead and the capital has changed. Let them be more peaceful and not allowed to walk around.
Then, Xie Chengze killed a lot of disobedient people.
In just two days, Xie Chengze took control of the capital. After that, the people of the capital continued to live as usual, but the gates of the city were still guarded by Xie Chengze’s people. Come into town.
To this end, Xie Chengze also copied the estates of those aristocratic families outside the city and looted their stored food.
Now that a few days have passed, everything has settled down.
Xie Chengze is not an emperor, but in the capital at this moment, he is no different from an emperor.
Xie Chengze was wearing a fancy dress and slowly walked up to the city wall of the palace.
The sun was shining brightly today, and it was warm on him.
Xie Chengze narrowed his eyes and glanced at the sky, and asked Sheng Yuan, who was following him: “What are the reactions of those noble families?”
Sheng Yuan said: “Some of them have accepted their fate, and most of them are connected in private.”
Xie Chengze said again: “Have you told them that you will go to court tomorrow?”
Sheng Yuan said: “I have already said it.”
Xie Chengze said: “Wait until tomorrow, if anyone doesn’t come, find someone to tie them up. I want to see them appear neatly in the courtroom.”
Xie Chengze’s voice was cold, and Sheng Yuan immediately responded.
Xie Chengze turned his head to look at the scene outside the palace.
The adult man of the royal family died cleanly, but the people in the capital lived as usual after the panic. At this time, it was mealtime, and the smoke was wafting from the cooking.
He actually didn’t want to act so quickly. He originally planned to wait for Lu Yanzhou’s troops to come to the city, kill all the people who should be killed, and then welcome Lu Yanzhou into the city.
But the Wang family fled from the capital, which scared many aristocratic families, and many people thought about going to Sun Chongshao.
Compared with Lu Yanzhou, those aristocratic families preferred Sun Chongshao’s behavior.
What’s more, during this period of time, Sun Chongshao found someone to come to the capital to lobby, and gave many promises to the family in Beijing, saying that as long as he went to seek refuge in the past, he would no longer pursue his old grudges – Sun Chongshao was afraid of Lu Yanzhou, so he tried his best to solve it. Build up your strength.
According to Xie Chengze’s knowledge, those who plan to join Sun Chongshao are many who do evil things, and they still have a lot of money in their hands.
If they were let go to Sun Chongshao’s side, it would cause a lot of trouble for Lu Yanzhou.
So he didn’t do it again and again, and he simply started first and became stronger.
Now that the royal family is gone, he will kill the black sheep of the aristocratic family one by one, but before Lu Yanzhou comes, if he can, he will definitely stabilize the capital and deal with the government affairs that should be dealt with.
Starting tomorrow, it’s time to go to court as usual!
Xie Chengze stood for a long time, and Sheng Yuan suddenly asked, “Godfather, don’t you regret doing this?”
Xie Chengze said, “I don’t regret it.”
Xie Chengze told Sheng Yuan and the others that when Yan Hang’s army reached the capital, he would surrender.
Sheng Yuan knew about Yan Hang. This man is not a murderer and loves his people like a son. As long as they fall… most of them can survive.
But Xie Chengze is different.
As an eunuch, he killed the emperor… Even though Yan Hang had no sympathy for the dead emperor, it was impossible to let Xie Chengze go.
Xie Chengze has only one dead end.
“Godfather, when the time comes, you can leave the capital first and live elsewhere in anonymity.” Sheng Yuan said.
Xie Chengze raised the corner of his mouth: “I have enjoyed everything that I should enjoy in my life, and now it is not a loss to die. Instead, I am incognito… This is not the life I want.”
“But…” Sheng Yuan looked confused.
Since entering the palace, Sheng Yuan has been bullied a lot, and no one treats him like a human anymore.
Even his former friends looked disgusted when they saw him.
He didn’t want to live anymore.
It was Xie Chengze who helped him and treated him like a human being.
For Sheng Yuan, no one is more important than Xie Chengze.
Xie Chengze said: “Don’t worry, I will be fine. I have always been in touch with Yan Hang and have helped him a lot. He will not kill me.”
When Xie Chengze said this, he was sure.
But he was like this just to appease Sheng Yuan.
He didn’t think Lu Yanzhou would let him go.
Lu Yanzhou once appeared in the capital as his male pet, which should be a great shame to Lu Yanzhou.
The first thing Lu Yanzhou did when he came to the capital was to kill him, and then bury it completely!
He has long known his end, but he has been able to accept it calmly.
Lu Yanzhou has done a good job, and he… what he has always wanted to do, has been done.
Dayan is dead!
Thinking of this, Xie Chengze laughed.
Sheng Yuan didn’t know that Yan Hang was actually Lu Yanzhou, but Xie Chengze had helped Yan Hang in private, which he knew.
He once sent someone to investigate the place occupied by Yan Hang, and he also knew that Yan Hang was indeed a good person and had a good reputation.
But precisely because of this, he did not think that Yan Hang would keep Xie Chengze.
Xie Chengze’s reputation is too bad! Not killing is not enough to make people angry!
It’s just that Sheng Yuan didn’t say it.
Sheng Yuan felt that those who entered the capital in the future would not let Xie Chengze go, and those aristocratic families in the capital felt the same way.
“Then Xie Thief must be crazy!”
“How dare he kill His Majesty?”
“That’s your majesty… and the rest of the royal family, they were all killed by him!”
“He’s absolutely crazy. He’s a eunuch, and he can’t be an emperor. How could he do such a crazy thing?”
“Perhaps His Majesty did something to him in private.”
…
In addition to guessing, they had to scold Xie Chengze, and then they all felt that Xie Chengze would not end well.
“Xie Thief is notorious, and now he does something like this. When Sun Chongshao invades the capital, he will definitely be smashed to pieces!”
“It’s not necessarily Sun Chongshao who wins in the end.”
“Could it be that Yan Hang can let him go? Yan Hang’s eyes have no place for sand. If Xie Chengze falls into his hands, he will be divided by five horses!”
“Although Xie Chengze has some manpower, how can he stop the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Sun Yan and the others? He will surely die!”
…
Everyone thought that Xie Chengze would definitely die, but now that they were still in Xie Chengze’s hands, it was a bit dangerous.
“Now… Will Xie Thief drag us to bury him with him?”
“He even killed His Majesty!”
“His Majesty killed him if he treated him badly, and we impeached him a lot…”
“He asked us to go to court tomorrow… what should we do?”
…
Because they knew that Xie Chengze would die sooner or later, these people had a twisted pleasure in their hearts.
But at the same time, they are also very afraid, after all, they are all in the hands of Xie Chengze!
What Xie Chengze did was really too sudden!
What Xie Chengze did was really sudden, and when Sun Chongshao found out, he was almost not angry.
Sun Chongshao knew his family affairs, he knew very well that he could not beat Yan Hang.
Not to mention the well-trained soldiers under Yan Hang, Yan Hang still has many excellent weapons.
If it wasn’t for Yan Hang’s steady fight, caring about the lives of his subordinates or not, he would have lost a long time ago!
And after thinking about it, the final solution was to send someone to the capital to win over those aristocratic families in the capital.
In the hands of the aristocratic family, there are many good things, such as the repeated crossbow in the hands of Yan Hang, the people of the aristocratic family may also have it!
If he can get the support of the aristocratic family, he will still have the strength to fight against Yan Hang!
But now, the people he sent to the capital, as well as those aristocratic families, were all controlled by Xie Chengze!
I heard that the wealth and food of those noble families were also robbed by Xie Chengze!
What is he going to do now?
Sun Chongshao gritted his teeth and finally decided to attack the capital immediately, to occupy the capital first!
At the same time, Lu Yanzhou had also ordered the entire army and planned to set off for the capital immediately.
With the current situation, Sun Chongshao would most likely attack the capital, and no matter what, he could not let Sun Chongshao take the capital one step ahead of him.
Xie Chengze has done so many things, if someone other than him invades the capital, Xie Chengze will not end well.
He is going to save Xie Chengze!
Speaking of which, his darling is really cruel in this world…also…cough, very emotional.
