Painting Doctor Jinhua
Chapter 223 Killing Gao Zhan, Phoenix's Wrath
Fenghuang approached Gao Wei, his expression becoming extremely cold and resentful.
"Have you ever seen a war? Have you ever seen the scene when the enemy's troops entered the city, many civilians were trampled under the horses' hooves, they screamed for mercy, their heads were crushed, some women holding babies in their arms were pierced through the chest by a sword, and the babies were also trampled into mud by the whistling soldiers?"
"Do you know how the soldiers felt when they had no food for a whole month and could only chew tree bark and eat insects, and had to fight bloody battles with the enemy on an empty stomach?"
"Do you know the miserable situation in which the people could not pay the taxes and had to kill their newborn babies, and in times of famine, they had no corn to eat and had to trade their children for food?"
"You rule the world, but do you know the sufferings of the people?"
"While the soldiers were guarding the territory of Da Qi, and the hungry peasants were dragged by you to build the so-called magnificent palace, what were you doing? You were having fun with your concubines all day long! How did you and this bunch of treacherous villains plan to withhold the soldiers' food and wages? How did you frame and kill those heroes who helped your Gao family build the country?"
Phoenix's questioning became colder and more pointed than the last.
After a pause, he raised his voice and asked again: "Are you worthy of being the emperor?"
Several palace maids and eunuchs in Zhaoyang Palace screamed in fear, especially Mu Xieli, who was still staring blankly at Mu Ti Po lying on the ground with wide eyes, trembling with fear, and just wanted to find a place where no one could see her to hide.
Zu Ting and He Hongzhen didn't dare to make a sound. They huddled aside, hoping not to be noticed by this Asura-like kid from hell.
At this time, he was heard to say with cold disdain: "Since you can't be the emperor, then abdicate and let someone else take over!"
"Get a pen and paper, and write!"
Seeing this, Mu Xieli wanted to take the opportunity to escape from Zhaoyang Palace and seek help from outside, but at this moment, Fenghuang turned around, picked her up, threw her in front of Gao Wei, drew his sword and pierced the woman's chest.
Gao Wei was so frightened that he screamed even more miserably.
"I didn't want to kill a woman, but this woman is really hateful. If she hadn't whispered in your ear and joined forces with Mu Dipo to persuade you to indulge in lust, embezzle food and money, disregard the lives of soldiers, and frame loyal officials, there wouldn't be so many innocent deaths!"
"Write now!"
Fenghuang shouted again and placed paper and pen in front of Gao Wei.
"What to write? How to write? To whom should the throne be passed?"
Gao Wei trembled, and cried softly as he looked at Mu Xieli's body with eyes wide open.
"Pass the throne to Lanling King Gao Changgong!" Fenghuang answered decisively.
Gao Changgong's expression changed slightly, and just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden burst of applause in the hall.
"That's great! You guys have finally made it this far!"
This familiar voice!
Xiao Jinyu and Gao Changgong looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Gao Zhan walking out from the direction of the back hall.
"Father, save me! Father, please save me!" Gao Wei immediately looked at Gao Zhan and shouted.
After not seeing each other for four years, Gao Zhan turned out to be like an old man, skinny and withered. He looked a little dazed the moment before, but the next moment after seeing Xiao Jinyu, he immediately became energetic, and stared at Xiao Jinyu with exceptionally bright eyes.
"Thank you, my Lord, you are finally willing to come back. I seem to be dreaming like this every day, meeting you like this every day? But dreams are just dreams after all, and are far less real than today..."
As he said this, he looked at Gao Changgong again and laughed.
"Everyone says that anyone could rebel, but you, Lanling Prince Gao Changgong, definitely wouldn't. Even your mother said that you were honest and loyal, that you only knew how to march and fight, and didn't understand state affairs. But who could have thought that in the end, you would be the one who rebelled and wanted to be emperor?"
"So, Chang Gong, you came this far for her, right?"
As Gao Zhan spoke, he directed his gaze towards Xiao Jinyu and laughed wildly once again.
No matter who it is, one can see that his mental state is extremely bad at this moment. It is said that during the years when he was the emperor, he was addicted to wine and sex, and ignored everything, allowing the Empress Dowager Hu to control the young emperor, manipulate the government, appoint villains, and do whatever she wants.
Looking at his current appearance, it is obvious that his body has been drained and he is about to run out of energy.
"The one who wants to rebel is not them, but me, Murong Jue!"
Fenghuang stood in front of them, staring at Gao Zhan with sharp eyes.
Gao Zhan then turned his gaze to him.
"Murong Jue? Oh, I remember now. You were the young man who followed Chang Gong and made great contributions in the Battle of Mangshan. You were the grandson of the famous general Murong Shaozong, right? I also named you General Wuyi!"
"Now that he has grown up, he has become as handsome as your ancestor Murong Chong. This is really the usual style of your Xianbei Murong clan!"
"Hahaha... You said you wanted to rebel, but you want my son to abdicate to Lanling King instead of yourself?"
"You want to get them both out of this mutiny. Do you think it's possible?"
When Gao Zhan said this, a hint of sneer appeared in his eyes.
Fenghuang pondered for a moment, and then he asked, "How did you do it? From the time the two of them entered Yecheng to the time they entered the palace, it was only half a day. You were able to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to break through the major gates of Yenan City and attack this Zhaoyang Palace, and you were able to make the major families in Yecheng and the garrison troops in the capital stay put.
I'm curious, how did you do it?"
Fenghuang replied, "It has nothing to do with them. I did all this alone. As early as the day when the Empress Dowager passed away, I knew that the court would once again look for an opportunity to deal with Prince Lanling and Princess Lanling, so I had already begun to lay out plans in Yecheng. You were afraid that your two sons Gao Wei and Gao Yan would kill each other, so you gave Gao Yan the positions of Grand Commander of the Capital and Commander of the Central Army, and asked the Palace Attendant Feng Zicong to assist him so that he would have enough ability to protect himself.
But your third son is also ambitious, he also wants to be the emperor, I took advantage of this, and then controlled the minister Feng Zicong, and encouraged him to usurp the throne and rebel.
Therefore, Langya King Gao Yan is now cooperating with us and just keeping the garrison in the capital area on hold!
As for Kudi Fulian who is stationed at Qianqiu Gate, he is loyal and the most courageous among the imperial guards of Ye City, so I only need to defeat him and cut off his head, and then the rest of the imperial guards will be able to quickly disband. "
Having said that, Fenghuang kicked one of the heads randomly placed on the ground in front of Gao Zhan.
This head is exactly Kudifulian!
Gao Zhan's expression changed, he couldn't believe it!
"Kudivrin has three thousand warriors under his command. How did you take his head?"
"It's easy, just one arrow!"
As Fenghuang spoke, he measured the bow and arrow in his hands. The crossbow looked extremely heavy, at least three stones?
"Your archery skills are so good that you can take the head of a commander among three thousand soldiers?"
Gao Zhan was naturally shocked, and then he looked at the handsome young man who exuded murderous aura with some fear.
"Would you like to try it too?"
Phoenix raised his bow, ready to draw the string and nock the arrow.
"Phoenix!"
Only after Xiao Jinyu called him did he stop what he was doing.
Seeing this, Gao Zhan laughed again and looked at Xiao Jinyu and Gao Changgong.
"Very good, do you think my position is easy to sit in? Why should I promote villains like He Shikai and Lu Lingxuan?
Because there is always a sword hanging over my head. No matter whether it is the nobles or the aristocratic families, they all want to control me. They fight for their own interests. Some want to depose me, and some even want to assassinate me.
If I had not used these villains to fight with them, they would have fought back and killed me!
Why do you think my second brother Emperor Wenxuan killed people like crazy? He did not kill people because he was insane.
On the contrary, he knew very well what kind of people he had killed!
Those are the people who don't obey him and want to challenge the imperial power and go against him!"
"Everyone wants to be the emperor, but they don't know that this position is extremely dangerous, so dangerous that it drives people crazy!"
"Yes, I am crazy! I am sick! And now I am in extreme pain, but do you really want this position?"
Having said this, he looked at Gao Changgong and then at Xiao Jinyu.
Gao Changgong was stunned and seemed heartbroken as he looked at Gao Zhan, who looked like neither a human nor a ghost.
Xiao Jinyu looked at him calmly.
"Thank you, my dear. I have done some wrong things, but you are the only person I have ever treated sincerely. Yes, your mother Xiao Luan's death is related to me, but when I sent the imperial guards to find her, I actually wanted to entrust her with important tasks like my second brother. I didn't expect that she would commit suicide!"
"Your mother is indeed a kind-hearted doctor. Even though my second brother was so ill, she still treated him without hesitation, even though she herself was covered in wounds in the end!"
"So, Xie Qing, as a doctor, will you treat me like your mother did?"
After Gao Zhan finished speaking, he coughed violently. He covered his mouth with his hands, and the next moment, his hands were full of vomited blood.
Gao Changgong couldn't help but take a step forward.
Xiao Jinyu grabbed him and walked forward.
"As a doctor, I should really treat every patient, no matter who you are..."
Xiao Jinyu said, Gao Zhan suddenly looked up, with great joy in his eyes.
"But……"
Xiao Jinyu had just changed the subject when an arrow whizzed past his ear and pierced Gao Zhan's chest straight away.
Xiao Jinyu suddenly turned around and looked at Fenghuang.
Gao Changgong also looked at him in astonishment.
Gao Zhan was even more incredulous, staring at Murong Jue who was still pulling the string.
Gao Wei once again let out a scream that was not like a human voice!
"How dare you really kill me? Aren't you afraid of being charged with regicide?"
Fenghuang didn't take it seriously and just said, "Today's mutiny was initiated by me, Murong Jue, alone. I am not afraid of death, but before I die, it is still worth killing one or two tyrants! What do you think?"
After saying this, Phoenix also smiled very brightly.
“What a daring young man!” Gao Zhan sighed and looked at Gao Changgong again, “Even if you really get the throne, can you control those nobles? For example, this Murong clan…hahahaha…”
At this point he laughed crazily again until he spat out large mouthfuls of blood. He took one last look at Xiao Jinyu and then collapsed weakly.
Xiao Jinyu and Gao Changgong were both stunned for a moment. Fenghuang's move was completely beyond their expectations!
After dealing with Gao Zhan, Fenghuang didn't waste any more time. He turned around and walked in front of Gao Wei, pointing an arrow at him!
"The next one is you. Have you thought about it?"
Gao Wei was shaking all over and couldn't even hold the pen steadily. He didn't dare to even look at the young man in white robe!
This kid doesn't have any relationship with the emperor or his subjects in his heart. He is just a devil who wants to kill anyone he wants, without any hesitation!
"Phoenix!" Xiao Jinyu called again.
Phoenix looked at her and saw that she looked solemn and stern.
"That's it. Hurry up and take your people with you and leave now!"
