Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 162: Leading troops into the capital! Clearing the emperor's side and punishing treacherous officials? The Great Bell Incident ends

Yan He took the note, took a look at it, and felt dizzy.

No, you call this an order?

He hesitated and hoped to delay time for the arrival of 5,000 soldiers from Kyoto City to defend the city.

But Ergouzi was impatient and whipped Yan He to the ground.

Yan He's personal guards immediately drew their swords and protected Yan He firmly behind them.

Ji Xin shouted loudly!

"Welcome Pei Bo, the general of Qianlong Bay Camp, the Minister of War, and the General of Chariots and Cavalry Liu Hong, to lead your troops into the city!"

The soldiers defending the city who had rushed over froze in place and instinctively straightened their bodies.

It was as if he was a model soldier, accepting review from his superiors.

The city defense troops and garrison division behind them also followed suit and shouted.

Thousands of words come together into six words.

"Welcome Pei Bo to the city!"

The city defense soldiers stopped trying to stop them, opened the city gates, and welcomed Liu Hong and his troops into the capital.

During his one year as a minister, Liu Hong was somewhat corrupt and also had secret dealings with the Qin family and had vested interests in them.

But Liu Hong did not do nothing. He set up winter and summer subsidies for soldiers across the country.

Although food, supplies, silver, and military equipment could not be distributed in full, they were distributed on time.

This alone established Liu Hong's position as the leader of the young generals, and the morale of the troops was not low at all.

The city defense army was under the joint control of the governor of Kyoto and the Ministry of War. The new governor of Kyoto, Li Ye, hurriedly arrived.

Took the note handed over by Yan He.

There are only two words on it: Enter the city!

Li Ye couldn't help but sigh.

"Pei Bo is truly an extraordinary person! The capital is in such a mess right now, all the officials and His Majesty are in a dilemma, only Pei Bo dares to step forward."

The garrison division took over all major city defenses within Kyoto.

The little thug who was idle in the middle of the night and was about to become a flower thief didn't have the chance to escape.

It was shot directly into a hornet's nest by the crossbow.

As for Liu Hong, he led the city defense troops under his full control and surrounded the imperial palace.

The Minister of Rites Guo Zheng was sharp-eyed and saw that the soldiers had surrounded all the officials tightly, and it seemed that they were serious about it.

He did not care about the gilded caning and spoke quickly.

"Who gave you the courage to send troops to surround the officials?"

The military has always been a machine of violence.

The East Factory's actions were criticized, but only because they broke the rules. As long as they didn't torture people in prison, their chances of survival would still be very high.

But once the troops are sent out, it is impossible not to see bloodshed.

All the officials also realized that something was wrong and immediately started to riot.

After all, the sharp blade with a cold glow won't reason with them.

"I gave you the courage, what's wrong?"

Amidst the torches, Liu Hong appeared majestically, riding a tall warhorse.

There was a sudden commotion among the officials.

Wasn't Liu Hong imprisoned? How come he's out now?
They knelt here for a whole day without a drop of water or food, and were already starving.

He was also severely beaten by the Dongchang and was weak. How could he defeat the soldiers who were as fierce as wolves and tigers?

"Liu Hong, you dispatched troops to surround the palace without authorization. This is treason and a crime punishable by death."

Guo Zheng shouted loudly, trying to scare Liu Hong away.

Wow! I guessed what Liu Hong was thinking.

But it's no use! Liu Hong's actions are now tacitly approved by Emperor Qing.

"Haha! Maybe you don't know yet, but since you forced me to abdicate, I have been reinstated."

Liu Hong sneered and spoke.

"Now I want to clear the emperor's entourage and punish the treacherous ministers!"

When Guo Zheng heard this, he suddenly felt dizzy.

Why would he, a minister of rites who came from a censor background, be willing to wade into such muddy water?

In addition to the tacit consent of the Second Prince, he also wanted to win the court cane and gain fame for himself.

As a result, Liu Hong falsely accused him of being a traitor. How could he tolerate this?
"How bold and arrogant! Who do you think you are? Now that all the senior officials from various ministries are here, you are nothing compared to your rank."

Guo Zheng roared and many officials looked at him with hope.

Liu Hong was too lazy to pay attention to Guo Zheng. He was already satisfied with the beating, and he wanted to use his own reputation to improve himself.

If this guy hadn't helped Liu Hong by accident, he would have obviously been considering eating knife-cut noodles or wonton noodles.

Shi Chanli rented all the carriages from the Kyoto carriage company and placed them neatly and orderly around the imperial palace.

Liu Hong spoke calmly.

"My Lords, please go back! His Majesty will not see you, nor will he give in to your attempt to force you to abdicate."

"You have two choices. Either you let the soldiers carry you to the carriage. Or you get on the carriage by yourself and save some dignity for yourself."

These officials looked at each other, their eyes fixed on the tall and majestic figure in the lead.

At this moment, Lin Xiang's face seemed to have aged by more than ten years, and he sighed.

"My dear colleagues, please go back! I will keep my usefulness for now. I can abdicate, but Qing Kingdom cannot do without you, the pillars of the country."

"Prime Minister..."

All the officials choked up and it seemed that the Prime Minister was prepared to bear the consequences of the Grand Bell Incident alone to preserve their future.

Fan Xian stood up slowly without saying a word.

He looked at Liu Hong deeply and tried his best to resist the urge to beat Liu Hong.

Surrounded by the city defense soldiers, he was the first to get on the carriage.

With someone taking the lead, all the officials shook their heads and sighed, tears still hanging from the corners of their eyes, and got into the carriage with wounds all over their bodies.

Naturally, there was the Imperial Censorate headed by Guo Zheng, who had never gotten along well with Liu Hong and immediately launched a fierce resistance.

Liu Hong did not tolerate them and signaled his soldiers to knock them out and take them away.

The Dongchang guards saw that Liu Hong handled the incident so easily.

Everyone's mouth was wide open!

If they had known earlier that Liu Hong had this ability, they would have been unable to drive away the officials even after swinging their sticks until they smoked.

Liu Hong helped Lin Xiang, who was kneeling and his legs were numb, up.

The sound was as light as a mosquito, and it reached Lin Ruofu's ears.

"Thank you, Prime Minister Lin! I am very satisfied with your gift."

"You should be careful too! Although your involvement this time is not obvious, you benefited the most. His Majesty will definitely be suspicious of you."

Lin Ruofu sighed and stood up with difficulty, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

Liu Hong could not deny it.

"That's true, but His Majesty has one advantage: he is very patient. The balance of the court has been broken, and he won't touch me until he establishes a new balance."

How could Emperor Qing be so impatient? Even though Ye Qingmei treated him as a stud, he would not take action until he had squeezed out all the value from Ye Qingmei.

The Battle of Dadongshan was planned for almost twenty years.

"Open the palace gate. I want to bring the Prime Minister to see His Majesty."

Liu Hong glanced at the group of Dongchang men.

Hong Zhu was silent for a long time.

"Open the palace gate and let the two adults in."

"Captain, can your majesty see the Prime Minister?"

There was a eunuch who didn't know what was going on. He spoke timidly, and a group of foreigners quickly dragged him away.

No matter how tense the situation was between the prime minister and the emperor.

As long as he is still the prime minister, he is still the second most powerful person in Qing Kingdom, and he can destroy them with just a wave of his head.

The palace gate was wide open, like the gaping mouth of a giant beast from the abyss, extremely eerie and terrifying.

Lin Ruofu had already regained the feeling in his legs. He pushed Liu Hong away, laughed loudly, and walked into the palace gate.

"Fighting with the emperor is so much fun!"

Liu Hong quickly followed, without taking off his armor.

However, there were no eunuchs or imperial guards to stop Liu Hong at this moment.

From the cheating in the Spring Examination to the Prime Minister's entry into the palace, the month-long struggle is about to end.

The eldest prince Li Chengru hurried over, and when he saw Lin Ruofu, his expression became complicated and he bowed respectfully.

Lin Ruofu just waved his hand and walked into the imperial study.

Face to face with the most powerful man in Qing Kingdom, Emperor Qing!

"Take off your armor and weapons! This farce is finally over."

Li Chengru looked at Liu Hong with a complicated expression and spoke slowly.

He didn't expect that he had tried his best to help Liu Hong, but Liu Hong eventually became His Majesty's sharpest knife.
