……
In the imperial study room, Li Xu was still playing with Yuxi, and looked at Xu Guogong with a sneer: "Your Excellency's soldiers, it's better to come early than coincidentally!"
Xu Guogong was sweating profusely, he never dreamed that Li Fu would suddenly come back with his soldiers in the middle of the night, if not for his soldiers just came back tonight.
Then Li Fu, in the name of King Qin's rescue, is going to swallow the fruits of their planning for so long!
At that time, all of them will become prisoners.
Looking at Li Xu with a calm face, he couldn't help but look at Li Xu a few more times, thinking that Li Xu had already controlled everything, knowing that Li Fu would come back tonight, he had already prepared himself, so he was confident.
Xu Guogong had thought about this a lot, but Li Xu didn't expect Li Fu to be so vigilant and decisive. He just pretended to leave the palace in the evening, but he came back in the middle of the night.
If Xu Guogong's men and horses hadn't arrived in the capital in time, he didn't know what would happen tonight.
He still takes it for granted that the fairy sword in the sky is protecting him.
With the blessing of the Xian family, he felt that he was okay again, no matter who he met, he was not afraid at all, even Li An, he was not afraid now.
"Almost, it's time for me to collect Li Fu's body." After saying that, Li Xu got up and walked out of the house, and Xu Guogong hurriedly followed.
……
In the palace road, the long and narrow palace road was already covered with corpses, and Li Fu was also covered in blood. Two-thirds of the soldiers he brought were dead.
"Damn it, why are there so many people in the palace?"
A general cursed and looked at the way he came with a look of fear and panic on his face: "Why haven't our reinforcements arrived yet?"
Li Fu also bit his lip tightly, with an unwilling expression on his face.
"These people are not the imperial guards anymore, Li Xu, what a way!"
"Yo, fourth brother, are you calling me?" Li Xu's voice suddenly appeared.
Hearing this, Li Fu turned around abruptly, only to see Li Xu walking out from the crowd, and looked at Li Fu jokingly: "Fourth, you lead troops to kill in the palace in the middle of the night, are you going to rebel?"
"Rebellion?" Li Fu sneered, pointing the bloody sword at Li Xu: "Li Xu, what have you done to Father?"
"Alas~" Li Xu sighed: "Father is old, I'm afraid there will be only a few days."
"What?" Li Fu's pupils dilated, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he stared at Li Xu with his eyes wide open, "You did it?"
"You think highly of me, how can I, Li Xu, have such great abilities?" Li Xu smiled: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, everyone can't escape."
"Although I am acting ruthlessly, I will not attack my royal father. If I do, I will be punished by heaven."
Hearing Li Xu's piercing voice, and watching the soldiers continuously coming from both sides of the palace road, Li Fu knew that he was going to confess here tonight.
He put down the sword in his hand, and looked at Li Xu coldly: "Father shouldn't have been soft-hearted in the past, and Lao Jiu should have cut you off."
Speaking of Li An, Li Xu's face no longer had any calmness, his face became more gloomy and terrifying, and the gaze in his eyes seemed to wish to swallow Li An alive.
After a long time, Li Xu withdrew his gloomy gaze, and looked at Li Fu coldly: "Li Fu, you can end it yourself, father doesn't want to see us brother-in-law, don't dirty my hands.
After I ascend the throne, I will build a mausoleum for you and posthumously proclaim the throne. "
"Hahaha~" Li Fu burst out laughing suddenly: "Li Xu, do you really think you are sure to win?
So what if you kill me Li Fu tonight?You can't beat Lao Jiu. One day, Lao Jiu will cut off your head with his own hands to avenge me. "
"Li An, he is just a soft-hearted trash." Li Xu sneered disdainfully: "I will be the final winner, because I am more ruthless than any of you.
People who are not ruthless cannot achieve great things. Li An is just not ruthless enough, otherwise he would have sat on the throne long ago, and today's affairs would not have happened. "
"Li An is not ruthless enough?" Li Fu sneered again, staring at Li Xu with eyes that seemed to be able to read people's hearts: "You are so wrong, Li An is more ruthless than any of our brothers, his kindness is only for For the people, not for you and me.
Do you think Li An didn't kill you because he was merciful?If your father hadn't kept protecting you, you would have been reincarnated long ago.As for you, it's okay to be ungrateful, and you did such a rebellious thing while your father was dying.
Li Xu, you will be punished by God. "
"God's punishment?" Li Xu sneered: "I'm sorry, the destiny is here in this palace, and the immortal family in the sky has always protected me.
The chat is over, Li Fu, you can end it yourself, I will send Li An down to accompany you in a short time, and then you will know who is the final winner. "
"Li Xu, in my Li family, only those who died in battle!" Li Fu shouted angrily, raised his sword and went up to kill.
Li Fu shook his head coldly, took a step back, and a large number of soldiers went up to meet him.
At the same time, all the people who entered the palace with Li Fu were also killed.
Another melee.
However, there was a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides. In the end, Li Fu ended up with a thousand arrows piercing his heart.
Li Fu was shot into a hedgehog, but he was not dead yet. He knelt on the ground, supported his body with the sword in his hand, and looked at Li Xu with a little pleading in his eyes.
"Sir, let me take one last look at Father."
Facing Li Fu's request, Li Xu's eyes were cold: "It won't be long, you will meet down below."
After finishing speaking, he turned and left, leaving only one sentence: "Clean up this place."
"Yes!"
Soldiers came up to clean up the corpses.
Li Fu exhausted his last bit of strength and looked in the direction of the old emperor's bedroom: "Father, sons and servants are useless!"
He closed his eyes heavily!
Chapter 444
Early the next morning, the common people were doing business on the street as usual, as if nothing had happened, the traces of the fight last night were cleaned up, and the peace was whitewashed.
That is, today, a heart-wrenching news spread in the capital.
Last night, the prairie people sent assassins to attack the army of the Northern Expedition. The fourth prince Li Fu, the general of the Northern Expedition, was assassinated and killed.
When the old emperor heard about this, he was so anxious that he couldn't afford to get sick!
The whole city mourned.
But the news only spread in the capital.
Laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the doorway, which is different from the grief and indignation of the common people.
Those senior officials in the capital are all in danger, they all know that a big change happened in the palace.
Especially those ministers who were originally under Li Fu's faction.
When Li Fu fell, they would not be so stupid as to really think that the grassland people sent assassins to assassinate Li Fu. After all, several generals' homes in the capital were also bloodbathed last night, and no one was left behind!
The entire capital seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of fog.
……
The matchmaker did not receive Li Fu's letter, so she left the Northern Expedition early in the morning and returned to the capital.
Knowing that Li Fu was dead, she sat paralyzed in the alley and wept uncontrollably.
After a long time, she got up with a solemn expression, her eyes were full of hatred, she was going to Qingshui County.
But when she came to the gate of the city on the other side, she realized that the gate had been blocked, people outside couldn't get in, and people inside couldn't get out!
……
A few more days passed.
The old emperor has been lying in bed these days, and he can't even get out of bed.
After waiting for a long time, he did not wait for Li An's arrival.
He tilted his head and weakly called the personal eunuch: "Little Anzi?"
"Your Majesty, the servant is here."
"Where is Ann?"
Hearing this, the personal eunuch couldn't restrain his grief any longer, and covered his face and wept bitterly.
Seeing this, the old emperor's gaze suddenly became dull, as if he understood something.
After a long time, he said slowly, "Call him over."
"Who does His Majesty want to see?"
"Li Xu!"
……
Li Xu was sitting in the empty hall at the moment, sitting on the dragon chair and looking down, as if there were all living beings kneeling below, the smile on the corner of his mouth became wider and wider.
At this moment, a general came over: "Your Highness, Your Majesty wants to see you."
"The old man already knows? It seems that he is not old-fashioned. Let's go and see the old man."
Not long after, Li Xu walked into the old emperor's bedroom with a medicine bowl in his hand, "Father, it's time to drink the medicine."
The old emperor gave Li Xu a cold look, but did not take the medicine.
Asked straight to the point: "Li Xu, do you want to be emperor?"
Li Xu's face changed slightly, he stopped pretending, and looked at the old emperor coldly: "What do you mean I want to be emperor? This throne should be mine, after the death of elder brother!
Father, have you forgotten the rules left by your ancestors?Stand tall but not young! "
The old emperor did not explain, and said coldly: "If you want to be the emperor, then I will pass on the throne to you."
Hearing this, Li Xu frowned, why is Father so easy to talk today?
"But you have to promise me one thing first."
The old emperor spoke.
Li Xu sneered, he knew that the old emperor would not be so easy to talk to.
"Father, please command."
"Li Xu, you swear to the sky that after you ascend the throne, you will not do anything to your brothers or kill each other." The old emperor suddenly widened his eyes, and those cloudy pupils were full of majesty.
Meeting those eyes, Li Xu took a step back subconsciously.
After all, it was his father, and he would still be afraid of being under the shadow of the old emperor since he was a child.
Li Xu's eyes sank, and after a while, he looked at the old emperor with a smile: "Father, we are blood brothers, how could my ministers attack them."
Li Xu said without blushing, it seems that the person who killed Li Fu a few days ago was not him at all!
"I want you to swear to the sky." The majesty in the old emperor's eyes never retreated.
Li Xu smiled and raised his hands in a dignified way: "I, Li Xu, swear to the sky..."
After the oath was finished, Li Xu looked at the old emperor with a smile: "Father, you also know the sincerity of my son, shouldn't it be time to make an imperial edict?"
The old emperor promised to pass on the throne to Li Xu, but when he mentioned this, he turned his head to one side and said coldly: "Isn't the jade seal already in your hands? When do you want to take the throne? Write a letter yourself." Imperial decree, just put the jade seal on it."
Hearing this, Li Xu's complexion was very ugly. He knew that the old emperor did not want to pass on the throne to him from the bottom of his heart.
He still looked down on himself, saying that it was a helpless move to pass on the throne to himself.
Li Xu said with a cold face: "Father, let's drink the medicine while it's hot, and take good care of your body as soon as possible, so that you can participate in the enthronement ceremony of your minister.
The emperor can rest assured that these medicines are tonics to nourish the body, and the son is not a bastard enough to use poison to kill his father. "
After finishing speaking, Li Xu turned around and planned to leave.
"Is the queen also imprisoned by you?" The old emperor asked suddenly.
"It's not my son, it's your beloved concubine Xu Guifei." Li Xu sneered.
"Is the queen all right?"
"I'm fine."
"Li Xu, remember, don't hurt the queen. You don't care what I do to you, but if you hurt the queen..." came the old emperor's threatening voice.
"Oh, father is so concerned about the empress?" Li Xu seemed to have the old emperor's handle.
The old emperor saw through Li Xu's thoughts: "Don't think about using the queen as a bargaining chip, she is the person An'er cares about the most, and you don't want to completely anger An'er, do you?"
It was Li An again, Li Xu clenched his fists, seeing that the old emperor was right, he really didn't dare to provoke Li An, at least so far he didn't dare!
Li An has military power in his hands, his red-robed cavalry, his ballista cannon, there is nothing that Li Xu is not afraid of.
"Father, don't worry, the minister will send someone to protect the queen."
