Chapter 1331 Death of Liu Zixing, the Master of Palace Coup
Inside the imperial palace, Liu Zixing came to Zhao Teng's bedroom.

Although Zhao Teng was a eunuch, he colluded with General Liu Yuan and used the emperor to control the princes. He was extremely powerful and even in the imperial palace, he was able to cover up everything.

A eunuch had a huge palace and was served and protected by guards. His treatment was no worse than that of the emperor.

It is rare in history for a eunuch to reach his current position.

It is precisely because of this that in the past year or two, Zhao Teng became so proud of himself that he even ignored the emperor and acted arrogantly.

Liu Zixing, who was already prepared, brought Meng Luan to Zhao Teng's bedroom, ready to assassinate Zhao Teng.

In order to paralyze Zhao Teng, he put on a very humble attitude, said all kinds of nice things, and even squatted down to wash Zhao Teng's feet, which greatly satisfied Zhao Teng's vanity.

Regardless of whether Liu Zixing had power or not, he was still the crown prince and King of Guangling in name, a member of the royal family. How could Zhao Teng not be proud and arrogant when he was groveling and washing his feet?

But just when he was enjoying himself, Liu Zixing's face turned cruel. He suddenly pushed him down on the bed and covered his mouth and nose with a foot cloth, trying to suffocate him to death.

Zhao Teng was a eunuch. Even though he had been living a life of luxury over the years and his physical strength was not as good as before, he was still stronger than the sickly Liu Zixing and he struggled frantically.

Liu Zixing tried his best, and seeing that Zhao Teng was struggling more and more violently, he shouted at the four palace maids who were already frightened around him.

"The Nanchen King's army is outside Zhongzhou City. If you want to survive, come and help. Hurry."

The four frightened palace maids hesitated for a moment after hearing Liu Zixing's words, and then rushed forward to help hold down Zhao Teng.

Although they were palace maids in Zhao Teng's bedroom, Zhao Teng was domineering, cruel and vicious, and he often abused and tortured them. That's why they only hesitated for a few breaths before immediately helping Liu Zixing.

With the help of four reinforcements, Liu Zixing suddenly felt much more relaxed. Zhao Teng struggled frantically for a few times but was unable to break free. The suffocation made his strength disappear quickly and his eyes began to turn white.

After a while, Zhao Teng had no strength to struggle anymore, and his body slowly went limp, but Liu Zixing and the others still did not relax, and continued to exert their strength with ferocious expressions.

It was not until a long time later that Liu Zixing saw that Zhao Teng had no breath anymore, and then his body softened and he sat down on the bed.

The four palace maids were all frightened to death and fell limply to the ground.

Liu Zixing was breathing heavily, looking at Zhao Teng who was already dead, he still felt trembling all over and his arms were shaking.

This was the first time he killed someone personally, and the one he killed was the all-powerful Zhao Teng. How could he not be afraid and nervous? If it weren't for the Nanchen King's Army giving him the confidence, he would never dare to do such a thing, even if he was beaten to death.

After a while, he calmed down, slowly stood up, told four palace maids to keep an eye on the place, tidied his clothes, and then walked out of the bedroom.

As soon as he came out, Meng Luan, who was waiting outside, called out worriedly, "Your Highness."

Liu Zixing looked straight ahead and said with a smug tone, "The eunuch Zhao Teng has confessed his crime and committed suicide."

Upon hearing this, the four guards guarding outside the door immediately drew their swords and pointed them at Liu Zixing, which scared Liu Zixing.

"Zhao Teng is already dead, who are you still fighting for? Why don't you surrender right here?"

But he overestimated his abilities and his ability to talk.

The four guards shouted, "Kill him and escape, then we can survive."

After saying that, the man who shouted swung his sword and slashed at Liu Zixing.

The frail Liu Zixing no longer had the slightest demeanor of a prince. He stepped back in fear and bumped into the door.

Seeing that the blade was about to fall on Liu Zixing, Meng Luan screamed and rushed over to block Liu Zixing, and two long knives chopped his back.

"Shh, shh!"

Meng Luan screamed and fell on Liu Zixing, who was shocked and angry.

"Meng Luan."

But the four guards didn't care about their misery and raised their swords again. Meng Luan ignored the pain and protected Liu Zixing under him again.

"Your Highness, be careful."

After just a few slashes of the knife, Meng Luan had no strength left and fell limply, and Liu Zixing couldn't hold him back.

"Kill him quickly, or we'll be in trouble when the guards arrive."

One of them kicked Meng Luan aside and brought Liu Zixing over.

Liu Zixing screamed in fear: "You can't kill me. I am the crown prince, the King of Guangling. The Nanchen King's army is already outside Zhongzhou City, surrendering..."

"Pfft!"

The answer he got was a knife stabbed directly into his stomach, causing his eyes to widen in vain.

"puff!"

Another knife strike, and then the guard threw him to the ground.

"withdraw."

The four hurriedly prepared to escape, but before they could take a few steps, a group of black-armored soldiers suddenly rushed over and surrounded them.

Zhou Tianxing took the lead and shouted: "Little Nanchen King's order is here, why don't you surrender on the spot?"

Seeing so many people, the four guards' faces turned ugly. One of them shouted, "We killed King Guangling. Surrendering means death. Let's fight them."

After saying that, the four of them raised their swords and charged towards King Nanchen's army.

They had no choice. If they had not killed Liu Zixing, perhaps they could have a chance to survive. But the problem was that they had just killed Liu Zixing. Even a fool would know that there would be no chance of survival if they surrendered. It would be better to fight to the death. Maybe there would be a chance of survival.

"court death!"

Zhou Tianxing's eyes flashed with coldness, and he shouted, "Kill!"

In fact, even if they did not resist, he would not be able to leave them alive. After all, it was related to the master's mission and there must be no mistakes.

Although these four guards were skilled in martial arts, they were no match for King Nanchen's army. In just a moment, they were killed.

Zhou Tianxing quickly walked towards Liu Zixing and Meng Luan who were lying in a pool of blood. Meng Luan was no longer breathing, his eyes were wide open, and he died with his eyes open.

But to his surprise, Liu Zixing was not dead yet. When he walked over, Liu Zixing actually reached out and grabbed him.

"help me."

Zhou Tianxing frowned slightly and said softly, "Don't worry, Prince Guangling, I will go find the imperial physician now."

King Guangling held his breath, and when he heard Zhou Tianxing's words, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. But the next moment, his expression froze instantly, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhou Tianxing in disbelief. Then he lost all his strength and was no longer able to breathe.

"Leave some people here to guard this place and don't allow anyone to enter or leave. The rest of you, follow me to rescue the emperor."

At the same time, on a street near the imperial palace, Liu Yuanzheng was leading a group of his men, preparing to enter the palace. Because Liu Zixing conveyed the news of entering the palace to him through Zhao Teng, he led his men to the palace overnight.

But just as they were about to reach the palace, a group of masked men suddenly rushed out from both sides of the road, dozens of them, and surrounded them.

Although he was surrounded, Liu Yuan did not panic. Instead, he shouted coldly, "Who are you? Do you know who I am? I am the general of the dynasty. If you dare to kill me, aren't you afraid of being exterminated along with your entire clan?"

But the masked leaders Xie Yun and Feng Qiao did not answer her at all. They just waved their hands and everyone swarmed forward immediately. Even though Liu Yuan and his men fought with all their might, the gap in strength was too obvious. After a while, all his men were killed and he himself was captured.

Late at night, Zhou Chen did not rest, but was waiting for news.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Xie Yun came back first and told him that General Liu Yuan had been captured and no one had discovered that it was their doing.

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Well, keep an eye on him and don't let anyone get in touch with him."

"Yes, Master."

Not long after Xie Yun left, the person Zhou Tianxing sent back to report the news also brought the news to Zhou Chen.

When Zhou Chen heard the messenger say that the matter had been settled, he was not surprised.

Zhou Tianxing led a team of Nanchen King's army into the palace, and he also had instructions that if Liu Zixing could not be eliminated, that would be a problem.

Although he didn't care about Liu Zixing, his death would undoubtedly save a lot of trouble. At least Shi Yi would be freed. Also, he would not be able to do whatever he wanted in the future.

After receiving the news, he fell asleep peacefully. He still had to go to the palace to meet the little emperor tomorrow, and by the way, see if there was any chance to deal with the Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen.

The next day, all the ministers went to court, but were told to adjourn. This made all the ministers very dissatisfied and they left the palace.

But as soon as these ministers left the palace, they met people from the Yi family. They were invited by Yi Sanniang to the Yi Mansion in the city, and they also met the former Taifu Yi Guang who had resigned.

Yu Guang's prestige was indeed not weak, and coupled with the reputation of the Yu family, it really intimidated a group of officials headed by Prime Minister Liu Wei.

Not to mention the conversations between the Jin Mansion and Jin Guang and the ministers, Zhou Chen had already arrived at the palace at this time.

At this time, most of the imperial palace had been taken over by King Nanchen's army. As for Emperor Liu Hui, he was locked in his own bedroom, alone, and no one could enter.

Zhou Chen came to the bedroom of Emperor Liu Hui.

Liu Hui had been feeling fearful since last night, because he had discussed it with Liu Zixing, but after a night passed, there was still no news. Being cowardly by nature, he did not dare to go outside to inquire and only wanted to hide and lock himself up.

Such a long time had passed and there was still no news. He couldn't help but feel fear in his heart. He scared himself and curled up in front of the bed, crying without any image.

When Zhou Chen walked into the bedroom, he happened to see Liu Hui crying, which made him speechless.

It is said that the emperor is the supreme ruler of the world, dominating the world and deciding life and death with a single word. But Liu Hui in front of him was so cowardly that he was bullied by eunuchs, officials, and even the empress dowager later. He clearly had a chance to turn the tables, but in the end, because of his own kindness, he lost his life.

It has to be said that this little emperor Liu Hui was truly a disgrace among emperors and was extremely cowardly.

Maybe some people think he is kind, but is he really kind? He could have done a good thing, but for various reasons, he killed more people. That is not kindness, but stupidity and cowardice.

But what does this have to do with him?

He didn't want to be an emperor, and he had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. For him, a cowardly and incompetent emperor was better than a shrewd and capable emperor who could not tolerate any injustice.

So he didn't mind letting Liu Hui continue to be the emperor. He just wanted to live his own stable life in Xizhou, teaching current affairs, playing the piano, and riding horses every day. Isn't it much more comfortable than being an emperor, who has endless things to deal with every day?
When Liu Hui saw Zhou Chen approaching, his body trembled even more violently, and he no longer looked like a king or emperor at all.

But if you think about it, Liu Hui is only about fourteen years old, actually still a teenager. He has experienced many dangers since childhood, so it is normal for him to be afraid.

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor, you should not cry."

Liu Hui asked in a trembling voice: "Was Zhao Teng killed by the emperor's uncle?"

Zhou Chen said: "No, Zhao Teng died of illness, but King Guangling was killed by Zhao Teng's guards. My people didn't have time to save him."

"My brother is dead?"

Liu Hui looked terrified, and then asked, "What about Liu Yuan?"

Zhou Chen said: "Liu Yuan pleaded guilty and has resigned from his military power."

"Then, then I, will I also die today?"

"How could that be? Your Majesty is the emperor and will have to govern the country in the future."

Liu Hui's eyes sparkled: "Uncle Emperor won't kill me?"

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "I am your Majesty's subject. How dare I kill your Majesty? I did not bring any weapons into the palace today. I only brought the wooden sword given by your Majesty."

As he said this, he took out the wooden sword, and Liu Hui took it in disbelief.

"Uncle Emperor."

Zhou Chen said: "Your Majesty, I am your uncle. To me, you are more important than the throne, so I will never hurt you, nor will I let others hurt you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hui burst into tears of gratitude and excitedly called out, "Uncle."

With Zhou Chen's words, he was completely relieved. Ever since he became emperor at the age of six, he had always been a puppet and had never enjoyed the real power of an emperor.

But at this moment, with the support of the young King Nanchen, he was not only relieved, but also felt a strong sense of masculinity in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Teng is dead, Liu Yuan is imprisoned, from now on, no one in the court can threaten Your Majesty. Please take the world as your responsibility and be a good emperor for the country and the people."

Liu Hui replied solemnly: "Uncle, rest assured, I will never let you down."

As soon as Zhou Chen and Liu Hui finished their conversation, the Imperial Guards brought the rescued Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen to the palace.

When Qi Zhenzhen saw Zhou Chen, she was so excited that she wanted to thank him, but was stopped by Zhou Chen. Then Qi Zhenzhen pretended to be grateful and said that she had suffered a great injustice, which made Emperor Liu Hui kneel down and beg for forgiveness again.

Zhou Chen was completely speechless when he saw this scene. With such an emperor, the Northern Chen Dynasty was really in danger.

He has watched the entire TV series "Zhou Sheng Ru Gu" and found the palace fighting in the show really funny, from the emperor to the empress dowager, to the prince, eunuchs and so on.

With their level of palace fighting, if they were put in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", they might not even survive one episode.

Zhou Chen also came and acted out the deep mother-son love with the mother and son, hugging each other and crying bitterly. She found a reason, left the emperor's bedroom, and walked around the palace.

Zhongzhou serves as the capital and is the ancient capital of several dynasties. The imperial palace of Northern Chen is also quite majestic and spectacular. However, after the palace coups last night and today, there are obviously fewer people in the palace.

As Zhou Chen walked, he came to a familiar palace. This was the palace where his predecessor and the late emperor often lived together. It left a deep impression on him.

But before he could say a few words of emotion, Shi Yi, who had been concerned about him, hurried over and stood in front of him, panting, with nothing but him in her eyes.
