I am the king of the dead

If His Majesty wants to make Li Yue's arrogance completely chaotic, then Li Yue's arrogance must be in chaos, even if Uncle Ye came!

Tang Xing and Liu Pu exchanged information about the situation of Liyue's arrogance, only to find that this Liyue's arrogance was already very chaotic, similar to that of the Wa Kingdom.

Li Li established the Li Dynasty, and Li Yuanlong's death as his successor was unclear. The drama of the brothers' fighting against the wall has already been staged, and various interest groups in the court have their own ghosts.

Wu Xun, headed by Zheng, controls the military power;

Scholars headed by the Mo family controlled the government;

Landlords dominated by the Ruan family controlled the countryside.

If you want to completely mess up Li Yue's arrogance, you have to find that Mr. Key.

Undoubtedly, at this time, the key man of Li Yue's arrogance and maintenance of stability is the Duke of Yuan, Ruan Chi.

Ruan Chi is the owner of the Ruan family in Guangnan, known as Lord Ruan. The lands south of Hengshan in Hue and Guangnan are all the territory of the Ruan family, even including part of the land in Champa.

And behind the Ruan family, there is also the support of a group of Daming manor owners, who are also the main force for exporting grain.

Ruan Chi's daughter, Ruan Thiying, is the Empress Dowager Xuanci, and her grandson Li Jun (Li Bangji) is the king, with great power. After the palace change, Li Yimin killed Ruan Thiying, but left Ruan Chi behind, with the purpose of maintaining the court. Stablize.

Ruan Chi, just like the elders in the village, is responsible for mediating the conflicts between various interest groups, and can be regarded as a peacemaker.

Liu Pu pondered for a while and said, "Why don't we discuss it with Li Yimin? If there is the cooperation of the imperial army controlled by him, we will not be able to kill Yuan Guogong."

"Do you need it?" Tang Xing asked full of doubts: "Is this Thang Long City (Hanoi) very complicated? It's only 61 streets, and it's not as complicated as Craftsman City."

Liu Pu said hesitantly: "But Yuan Guogong lives in the imperial city."

The inner city of Thang Long City is divided into the Forbidden City and the Imperial City. The Forbidden City is where King Annan lives, and the Imperial City is where the royal family lives.

The square walls are towering and there are guards patrolling, so it is not so easy to enter.

Although Liu Pu was a grand lieutenant of the Li Dynasty and was a second-rank official, he didn't take matters seriously and didn't hold military power, so in Liu Pu's view, it was difficult to enter the forbidden city.

Tang Xing said with a smile: "I didn't say I wanted to sneak in, just sneak in."

"Then how to kill?" Liu Puman asked in confusion.

Tang Xing said with certainty: "Kill him in the street."

"Kill him in the street?!" Liu Pu was horrified, it's only been a few years since he left Daming, and the envoys of Daming are so irritable?

Tang Xing nodded, and couldn't help but think of the savage Yuan Bin. If Yuan Bin was here, he could just break in and chop off Ruan Chi's head.

Tang Xing clicked a position and said: "Liu Pu, you do it, we will assist secretly."

"You still have more than [-] elite soldiers following you, all of whom are your direct descendants. This time you are responsible for intercepting, and then killing Ruan Chi in the street, bringing his head back to the Forbidden City, and throwing it in front of Li Yimin."

Liu Pu was frightened. When he fled from Guangzhou Mansion, he took nearly 300 soldiers with him. When he arrived at Shenglong City, there were only [-] people, and everyone else ran away.

Some people have left intermittently in the past few years, and now there are only two hundred personal guards left. These personal guards are his last strength.

The Great Angel even knows this!

Liu Pu gritted his teeth and said, "The place to set up an ambush is naturally within the imperial city. How will your people get in?"

Tang Xing said as a matter of course: "Go in, why not?"

Liu Pu was silent for a moment and said, "What about my people, how do they get in?"

"We'll know when the time comes." Tang Xing said again.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Liu Pu gritted his teeth and said, "How about doing it when I go to court in the morning?!"

"En." Tang Xing stood up, left Liu Pu's house, and walked into the darkness.

On the evening of the next day, Tang Xing brought two Tiqi, and a total of 23 people, including the pier Yuanhou who spied on the news and went deep into the captive camp. They put on the costumes of the imperial army of the Li Dynasty, and swaggered into the heavily guarded imperial palace. within the city.

Tang Xing and other 23 people are authentic Li Dynasty Imperial Guards, as if they were fakes!

There are 23 people, each of whom has a letter card, and it only takes three silver coins to apply for a letter card from the Imperial Army.

If you want to be a captain, you need ten silver coins.

The officer's gate is where Tang Xing is stationed today, and it will be changed again after going to court tomorrow morning.

Tang Xing was worried that Liu Pu would break the appointment, but when the city gate was about to close, Liu Pu showed up at the official gate with more than [-] people.

Liu Pu also arrived in person.

"Looking at the sunset and the western mountains, I thought you wouldn't come." Tang Xing closed the gate of the official gate, patted Liu Pu on the shoulder and said, "I thought you had arrived in the Li Dynasty, and then you became a What about cowards, after all, it’s Daming Wuxun.”

"I still have courage."

Liu Pu walked into the city gate and said in disbelief: "This official gate is the only way for Yuan Guogong Ruan Chi to go to court. The defense of this official gate has always been his confidant."

"You...you..."

Tang Xing tapped on the letter card in his hand and said: "It is said that money can make motui ghosts. Before leaving, His Majesty gave me [-] silver coins. The admiral of the city gate is indeed Ruan Chi's confidant, but It’s only three hundred silver coins, and the letter is done.”

"Xinpai, really!"

The defense of the Silver Pavilion Temple in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, only needs three silver coins to buy it.

But Tang Xing didn't say the whole thing, His Majesty gave the money to Xu Chengzong, it was activity funds, and Tang Xing "voluntarily invited Ying".

Tang Xing continued: "As soon as the city gate opens tomorrow, you will bring more than [-] people straight to Ruan Chi, and the rest of you, don't worry, after killing people, your people will change their clothes and leave in the chaos, and all the clothes will be given to you." people are ready."

The official system of the Li Dynasty was fully modeled on the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. The Yue people said: there is no need for food, and the responsibility is assigned to the real.

In addition to the title of Yuan Guogong, Ruan Chi also has the rank of Grand Master.

Does Ruan Chi deserve to die?

From the perspective of Ming Dynasty, he should be damned. In the 12th year of orthodoxy, Ruan Chi gathered more than a thousand soldiers, set up fences, occupied Pingxiang County, Guangxi, killed more than [-] people, and plundered [-] people.

Officials in Guangdong and Guangxi were filled with righteous indignation and petitioned for attack. Finally, Wang Zhen ordered: plan the chief strategy, strictly supervise the subordinates, and organize the defense to prevent the border residents from committing crimes.

This matter is over.

From Tang Xing's point of view, Ruan Chi is heinous and deserves to be punished!

Standing beside Ruan Chi was a man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with an imposing appearance, with his head raised halfway, his eyes looking at the huge official gate, waiting to go up.

"Who is that young man? Standing in front of Ruan Chi?" Tang Xing asked solemnly. Although this man is still young, he already has a bit of aura.

Liu Pu said in a low voice: "This person is King Annanjia, Li Yimin's fourth younger brother, Li Sicheng, who is 16 years old this year, and is known both inside and outside as a virtuous king with extraordinary means."

"The wings are not yet full. If this person becomes the king, the Li Dynasty will be safe. Do you want to eradicate him as well?"

Tang Xing shook his head and said, "No need."

His Majesty's purpose is to cause chaos in the Li Dynasty. If Li Sicheng is killed together, wouldn't Li Yimin secure the throne and take advantage of it for nothing?

Tang Xing wanted to balance the strengths between Li Yimin and Li Sicheng, the boss and the fourth child, and let them fight each other in the court, instead of really supporting Li Yimin to secure the throne.

"it is good."

The officer's gate opened slowly with the sound of drums, Li Sicheng stood up straight, and walked into the city gate, Ruan Chi took three steps slowly, and also walked towards the city gate of the officer's gate.

Just when Li Sicheng had just walked out of the city gate, Liu Pu rushed out with more than a dozen people, and before everyone could react, he hacked Ruan Chi to death.

Liu Pu, covered in blood, stood up holding Ruan Chi's head, looked at the panic-stricken servants, and said sharply, "What are you looking at, I was ordered to eradicate the rebellious ministers and thieves! Go up to court!"

After Liu Pu finished speaking, he raised his head and walked towards Zhaoyang Hall.

The Shaoyang Hall is roughly equivalent to the Fengtian Hall of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the seat of the imperial court.

Liu Pu carried Ruan Chi's head like this, and walked into the hall step by step. No one dared to stop him. He threw Ruan Chi's head on the ground and said loudly, "My lord, the rebellious ministers have been executed!"

Li Yimin stood up abruptly, pale with shock!

He never gave the order to kill Ruan Chi!

Liu Pu actually said it was his order!

Liu Pu looked at Li Yimin coldly, behind him were a group of Li Dynasty officials.

If Li Yimin categorically denies it at this time, will he still be able to sit on the throne?

In the eyes of the officials of the Li Dynasty, Li Yimin is a typical example of killing a donkey by killing a donkey. Who would listen?

Li Yimin clenched his fists, looked at Liu Pu, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Liu Taiwei is really old, his ambition is unpaid!"

The old man, with aspirations for thousands of miles, is Cao Cao's poems. Li Yimin has studied Sinology, and also studied at the Imperial Academy in Shenglong City. He just used allusions to tell the court officials that this was Liu Pu's own decision.

But Li Yimin did not deny that it was he who gave the order, that is, he admitted that he gave the order to kill the traitor.

Seeing this, Li Sicheng's face was flushed, and he took a step forward and said loudly: "Ruan Chi is arbitrarily arbitrarily initiating quarrels and overpowering the lord, and his ministers are arbitrarily arbitrarily good at the country, against the law of heaven and law, specializing in the party, benefiting the king's heart, and blocking the way of righteousness. There are so many illegal crimes that you will not be punished even if you die!"

Ruan Chi is Li Sicheng's extremely important support force.

Especially after Li Yimin killed Ruan Chi's daughter, Queen Mother and grandson, Ruan Chi had no choice but to support him, Li Sicheng.

Now, Ruan Chi was killed, and in a way that was almost humiliating, he died at the gate of the official.

Li Sicheng really wants to get mad, but it's not the time yet, his wings are not yet fully fledged.

And the strangest thing is, when did Li Yimin and Liu Pu get together?

So Li Sicheng can only choose to temporarily hibernate, saying that Ruan Chi deserves to die and not to attack for the time being.

Li Yimin sat down slowly, looked at the many ministers, was silent for a moment and said: "Who has any objections?"

Chapter 725 The Third Strongest Army in the World

Liu Pu, a bereaved dog, defected to the Daming Dynasty who was defeated by Li Yue because of his rebellion. With a pitiful expression, he looked at Li Yimin on the platform and Li Sicheng brothers in the audience.

Tang Xing doesn't understand, and Zhu Qiyu doesn't understand either, because they are not traitors, and they are still loyal to Daming, and they are committed to the development of Daming, and they don't hesitate to name and body.

So they don't understand traitors.

Liu Pu's biggest gap is not that he lost his status as Shixun, but that he is no longer a member of Daming.

Even his children and his trilogy are no longer from Daming.

And the letters from Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong and Ming Emperor Zhu Pi gave Liu Pu a new identity, that is, an overseas abandoned citizen of Ming Dynasty.

Overseas abandoned citizens are also abandoned citizens of Ming Dynasty. They only need to show their own value. During the long national fortune of Ming Dynasty, they may not become real people of Ming Dynasty again because of their outstanding contributions overseas.

This creates a thought, and once a person has a thought, he has strength.

This is why Liu Pu, from an old man who has completely lost his ambitions and ambitions, suddenly wants to go into battle himself and chop off Ruan Chi's head.

Now Liu Pu can use his identity as an abandoned citizen of the Ming Dynasty to pity Li Yimin and Li Sicheng from a high position, surpassing them, the nobles of Li Yue's usurping the dynasty.

A political system that has no cultural foundation and is plagiarized is like duckweed without roots.

The political system of the Li Dynasty was fully imitated from that of the Ming Dynasty, and it also had its own military honors, civil servants, scholars, gentry, six tribes, etc., but the more you look at it, the more it is a joke of imitation.

Li Yimin was able to bring 100 people, so he rushed into the palace, killed the famous Ruan Thiying and Le Bangji, and gained power.

At this time, Ruan Chi's head was placed on the main hall. In order not to destroy the overbearing court, Li Yimin and Li Sicheng had to accept this result.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty remained silent.

Li Yimin took a look around and deeply felt what it means to let people go out of tea, and said with a bit of gratitude: "Well, since there is no objection, Yuan Guogong Ruan Chi has already been executed, so let's have a dignified burial, the Ministry of Rites Get a posthumous name as soon as possible."

For Li Yimin, he didn't dare to kill Ruan Chi because he was afraid that the whole country would turn against him and he would not be able to clean up the situation.

But Ruan Chi was dead, and what he was worried about did not happen, at least not for now, and he temporarily secured his throne.

Liu Pu stood up and said sharply: "The most urgent thing right now is that the Ming Dynasty's heavy troops are stationed at Zhennan Pass, and even the Yunnan-Guizhou Daming troops are likely to gather. Should we discuss how to deal with the enemy?"

Li Yimin frowned and said: "The Taiwei is overthinking, Daming may not cut me down."

Li Yimin once met the emperor of Ming Dynasty on Wan Guohui, although the emperor of Ming Dynasty did not give clear instructions, Yu Qian also repeatedly denied that Daming would confer on him afterwards.

But Li Yimin believed that the Emperor Ming's meeting with him was a kind of acquiescence.

"Then what if?" Liu Pu looked at Li Sicheng.

The fourth son, Li Sicheng, is recognized as a virtuous king, and Li Yimin is the most powerful contender after the Lang Son palace becomes king.

Liu Pu looked at this, and the meaning was very clear, if Li Sicheng asked Daming for help like in the Yongle period, if Li Sicheng promised Daming more generous conditions in exchange for Daming's canonization.

Daming really sent heavenly soldiers to fight, what should we do?

You know, Li Yimin can still sit on the platform because he sent Daming a letter of credence requesting canonization, but Daming still hasn't responded, and everyone is waiting for Daming's attitude.

"Look at me!" Li Sicheng was furious, flicked his sleeves and said, "The poem says: Brothers fight against the wall, and defend against their insults from the outside! Is it true that I will secretly collude with Da Ming because of disputes and profit-seeking?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Liyue usurped the dynasty, the name of the country was Dayue, and it was called Annan to the outside world. There were only Chinese characters in the country, and he paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
