Chapter 888 Zhuge Chi

Zhao Guo's capital, seemingly calm on the surface, is in chaos in the dark.

Those with background, got the news first and had already quietly fled with their families. It can only be withdrawn quietly, not daring to show it in the slightest. At this time, Zhao Huanghai Wuji is like a very hungry beast. Once he raises the butcher knife, he doesn't care what backing and background you have in the court.

As for those ordinary people whose news is not timely, although they are not well-off in daily life, how to live is still the same.

The eunuchs in the entire palace are more disciplined than ever. The maids and maids dare not speak loudly, and even walk quietly.

The people who passed by the emperor in the past two days were inexplicable, and they didn't know what was wrong, so the emperor yelled and asked people to drag them down and chop them down, killing more than a dozen one after another. The bystanders were baffled, and the murdered were also baffled. They died in a muddleheaded way, and they didn't know where they made a mistake.

Everyone in the palace was trembling, and even the concubines in the harem lived in fear all day long.

Everyone knows the reason of the matter, the important matter of the country of soldiers, the war should not be lightly started, and now it is the end of the lightly started war, we should not attack the country of Yan lightly!

It's clear and clear, but no one dares to mention it again. It's already His Majesty's Ni Lin, and now it's courting death to say those things.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

A frightening sound of begging for mercy came faintly, and the startled Empress Dowager Shang Youlan, who was serving tea in the house, suddenly looked up to the door, and then glanced at the empress who was sitting beside her.

The queen's eyes were full of anxiety, she hesitated to speak, but she still didn't say what was in her heart.

She didn't want to drink the tea anymore, Shang Youlan put down the teacup and asked the queen, "How many days is this?"

The queen said anxiously: "After returning to mother, there should be fifteen or sixteen."

"Ah! The emperor's mind is in a state of confusion. At the beginning, so many ministers tried to persuade him not to listen, and they insisted on going their own way. If I had known it, why should I do it now?" Shang Youlan sighed.

The queen forced a smile, this is the only one who dares to say such things in this palace, other people including her dare not say such things, saying this is to accuse His Majesty of the emperor for doing something wrong.

While talking, the two looked out the door together, and saw a white-haired old eunuch leading several young eunuchs holding trays into the garden, and they didn't know what they brought.

The old eunuch was none other than Zhuge Chi, the Chief of the Imperial Palace of the State of Zhao. Although he still held the title of Chief of the Imperial Palace, he actually lost energy when he was old, and the real power was handed over to the eunuchs of the younger generation. Walk around in front of the master.

Seeing him, Shang Youlan seemed to think of something, and sighed: "This old thing is old and dull, and he has lived enough. He should do whatever he should do when the sky falls, and he will always be so calm." Then he shouted loudly : "Old Zhuge, old Zhuge!"

He yelled twice, but the old eunuch probably didn't hear it because he was too old. Immediately, a maid ran over to talk face to face, and only then did he see the old eunuch staggering slowly.

When crossing the threshold, he lifted the hem of his clothes, raised his legs with great effort, walked forward slowly with his back hunched, looked at the person with his cloudy old eyes, and then saluted slowly: "This old servant has seen the queen mother, the empress empress."

Shang Youlan raised her chin outward, "You yelling, what happened again?"

Zhuge Chi said slowly: "It should be some blind servant who made a mistake and made His Majesty unhappy. It's all because of the old slave who is incapable of discipline. Please forgive the Queen Mother."

Shang Youlan: "You old bastard, if you don't get punished, you will die if you are punished. I said old Zhuge, if I remember correctly, when the emperor was in power, you followed the emperor's side, right?" ?”

Zhuge Chi bent down, "At that time, the old slave was still a child, and he was appreciated by the old sage, and he polished ink by the old sage's side, and the old slave taught him how to read and write."

Shang Youlan: "That's right, I heard about it. Later, before the emperor's grandfather passed away, he asked you to follow the emperor father. In the hands of the emperor father, you became the chief eunuch in the palace. The late emperor's face has been exhorted, and the late emperor must treat you kindly. When the late emperor passed the throne to your majesty, I saw it with my own eyes, and the late emperor repeatedly urged your majesty to keep you by my side. Turn back Thinking about it this way, you have already lived through four dynasties, and you are a veteran of the four dynasties who is over a hundred years old, and there is no one in the civil and military dynasties who is more qualified than you."

Zhuge Chi: "The Empress Dowager praises me, the old slave is just a slave, he is already confused, and cannot afford to be called the elder of the four dynasties."

Shang Youlan shook her head: "I'm not praising you, but I want to tell you that it's not that His Majesty doesn't miss the past, but that you are too old, so you hand over some things to the people below, and you are also sympathetic. If there is something wrong with Your Majesty, don't take it to heart."

Zhuge leaned back, "This old slave understands."

Shang Youlan: "It's good to understand. You know what's going on outside. Ming people don't say dark words in front of them. You have served the emperors of Zhao Kingdom for four dynasties. You should have a good death based on emotion and reason. Let's go, Go away today, go wherever you want, take advantage of the attractiveness that this palace can still command, and someone can send you off, so leave as soon as possible."

Zhuge Chi: "The empress dowager's kindness, the old slave accepts it, but the old slave grew up in this palace since he was a child, and really doesn't want to leave."

Shang Youlan: "Old man, I am not pretending to be false to you, nor is I trying to test you, hurry up while you can leave now, or you won't be able to leave later. Don't worry, others are not allowed to leave without authorization, you can If something goes wrong, I will be responsible for it. I can still afford it. Don't go to say goodbye everywhere, don't disturb anyone, just go like this, lest the word spread and someone trouble you, you After all, I have stayed in the palace for so many years, go out and find a quiet place to spend the rest of my life incognito."

Zhuge Chi shook his head: "Queen Mother, it's not that this old slave is hypocritical. This old slave is so confused that he can't walk or do anything. He was used to life in the palace when he was young, so he can't survive at this age."

Shang Youlan was silent, and finally said slowly: "If that's the case, then it's up to you to decide. I can only say that I have done my best." She waved her sleeves and signaled to back down.

"Yes!" Zhuge Chi bowed his body to salute, then bowed to the empress, and slowly backed away, while the empress nodded slightly.

The setting sun returns, the setting sun is like blood, and the majestic palace is bathed in a dim yellow.

As night fell, I saw the lights in the palace lit up again.

In the middle of the night, above the sky, more than a dozen figures descended from the sky.

"Who?" With a loud shout, a group of monks in the palace rushed up to intercept.

During the bang-long fight, the three of them took the lead in breaking through the interception, deceiving that there were no real masters sitting in the palace, and they were not afraid of the difficulty of escape, so they boldly rushed straight to the brightly lit imperial study.

boom! Debris flew across the sky, the roof was broken, and Hai Wuji in the imperial study was shocked. Before he could understand what was going on, he was grabbed by the neck.

The Palace Guards and monks rushed to the rescue.

A loud shout came from the imperial study room, "Stop all of you, anyone who dares to act recklessly, I will kill your emperor. Tell you people outside to stop immediately!"

Inside the house, the three people who hijacked the emperor were none other than the masters of Qi Yunzong who were ordered to come to rob him. The three elders of Qi Yunzong personally led the team.

Let the outsiders stop, naturally because the people they brought were attacked.

Unexpectedly, Huanqing, the commander of the Zhongche Mansion in the palace who arrived in time, was also the person who took over the real power of Zhuge Chi, the head of the palace. He ignored the emperor's life in the imperial study and gave an order on the spot, "Your Majesty is not inside, kill!"

The swishing arrows shot through the door and windows, and the people in the house were quite surprised, so they quickly took advantage of the obstacles in the house to hide.

The three of them did not expect that the emperor was captured in one fell swoop, and the other party dared to disregard the emperor's death.

When the house was full of crackling noises, someone pulled Hai Wuji and said angrily, "Tell them to stop, or they will kill you!"

Na Hai Wuji panicked: "I am not Your Majesty, I am His Majesty's substitute."

Someone immediately fumbled on his face, but found no disguise, and immediately said angrily: "Nonsense, the one in the portrait is you."

Na Hai Wuji hastily said: "I'm really a stand-in, otherwise how could they attack regardless of my life and death."

"Since you are a fake, where is your real body?"

"I don't know, I really don't know."

"Then who knows?"

"The villain doesn't know this."

Unable to find out the truth, this side immediately threw Hai Wuji out to test it, but the people outside were merciless and shot Hai Wuji into a hedgehog on the spot.

At this time, the three of them knew that the target of the hijacking should be fake, and it was indeed a substitute.

Amidst the rumbling sound, the rubble and bricks of the imperial study were flying and exploding, and the flying pillars swept across the area, and the besieging soldiers outside screamed.

The three Qi Yunzong elders took advantage of the chaos to rush out, and the giant gang hammer swept wildly. None of the monks intercepted on the scene were their opponents, and they were killed by the three of them.

The assassin didn't come blindly, he had a detailed and careful plan. He missed Hai Wuji, and went to the Empress Dowager again, planning to take Shang Youlan as a hostage.

But the moment the three of them broke into the Queen Mother's palace, something strange happened. A gust of wind blew out the lights of the entire palace, and the place fell into darkness, but a lone lamp appeared.

Under the corridor under the eaves, Zhuge Chi, the chief internal officer, held a lantern in his hand, hunched over, and walked slowly, followed by two blind men and two blind eunuchs.

Seeing someone, one of Qi Yunzong's grand elders immediately dodges away, ready to arrest him for questioning.

call! The lantern in Zhuge Chi's hand suddenly went out, and the eaves were plunged into darkness.

The Supreme Elder who arrested the person found that he had missed and missed, and he was unable to move even with all his cultivation. He found that his neck was caught in someone else's hand. An unimaginable fear Feelings came to him.

"This is not the place you should come to." Zhuge Chi said slowly, twisting his hand, he casually twisted the opponent's neck.

PS: Something has happened in the past few days, and the update may be unstable, so I will kneel down and apologize first.
